185 Heroes and Rumors
The entire eight warships were bombarded by the Mars one by one.
Tianhai and others were looking straight. Eight "Misty Mountain-class" warships were enough to form a large fleet. Even if the opponent's commander had his head clamped by the steel gate, he would not have passed the warships over and died like this.
In order to prevent the explosion from affecting the jump point, Zhong Yun always waited for the other party to fly a distance before ordering the launch. The enemy warship had enough time to send information to the other side of the jump point.
Why did the commander there perseverely send the warships to die? Is the national strength of the Hongxian Federation so strong that it can use the "Misty Mountain-class" warships as cannon fodder?
When the eighth battleship enemy ship was destroyed, no warship appeared again at the jump point. The opponent finally stopped this stupid act of dying.
After waiting for about thirty minutes, Zhong Yun's expression also relaxed. A slim hand reached over and wiped his forehead with a towel. His nerves were tense just now, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
Turning his head and smiling gently at Liu Yunqi.
"Captain No. 3 requests communication." The system's voice sounded.
Liu Yunqi obediently retracted her hand. She came from a military family and she clearly understood some military rules. It is a serious violation of military rules like Zhong Yun who has no military positions to the main control room of the warship. Even if he is the commander-in-chief, he still has to go to the military court.
"Click it on." Zhong Yun said.
Captain No. 3's excited red face appeared on the big screen, "Commander-in-Chief, the port has been controlled. Please instruct what to do next."
"Order the mecha team to land in the port for strict control, disarm everyone in the port, and disperse them to several places to imprison them. If there is any resistance, kill." Speaking of the last word "kill", Zhong Yun's eyes shot out a strong murderous aura.
"Yes." Captain No. 3 responded and ended the communication. In fact, he certainly understood what to do next. Asking Zhong Yun was just out of respect for him, this complete surprise attack had completely convinced him.
Tianhai and the others were still talking about what happened just now. In Tianhai's opinion, the other party's commander was definitely funny. No one with a normal mind would give such an order.
"It is normal for them to react like this." Chen Wen, who had not spoken, spoke.
"Tsk. When you know you will die, you will send a warship to die. This is normal? I think you have a bad mind." Tianhai and Chen Wen often carry it, and they have to lift it up even if you have nothing to do, let alone now.
"Just think about it, if any Davao inhabited planet falls into the hands of the enemy, you will understand why the commander of the Hongxian Federation issued such an order." Chen Wen's counterattack was as simple as before and pointed directly at the critical point.
Tian Hai was slightly stunned. He didn't consider this level. If there was a residential star really falling into the hands of the enemy, the military headquarters would even go to rescue him if he fought his best.
Every residential star has a population of more than billions or even billions, and ignores these people, no matter which country's government it is, it guarantees that it will fall immediately.
This is not a resource star, you can give up if you say you give up.
Why did Davao build the last line of defense in front of the "Lanling Star"? No matter how much the price it costs, it must be defended? It is because of the 1.5 billion residents of the "Lanling Star".
"If the command of the Hongxian Federation did not have such orders at that time, their fate would be very miserable." A hint of mockery appeared on Chen Wen's lips.
In his opinion, this is a meaningless sacrifice. Since the loss has become a reality, as a commander, after knowing the situation, the most rational way is to preserve strength and defend strictly, rather than letting warships and elite soldiers go to die.
The eight main battleships and hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers on the ship died meaninglessly.
"I bet that the defense opposite the jump point is very empty now." Chen Wen's words were full of temptation.
Tianhai and Zhang Xiao both understood what Chen Wen said and turned to look at Zhong Yun. If they were taken down from the teleportation point, they were all so nervous that their palms were sweating.
It is impossible to say that Zhong Yun is not moved at all. Now, taking the opportunity to attack, there is a 90% chance to easily win. Think about it, no commander will be unmoved by taking down two enemy jump points in a row.
However, after evaluating it in my heart, Zhong Yun could only shake his head regretfully, "Our strength is limited, and it is too dangerous to divide the troops."
"But, such an opportunity is once a lifetime. If you miss it, you will never be able to meet it again." Chen Wen looked anxious.
"I understand this principle too." Zhong Yun shook his head helplessly, "But our strategic goal is to destroy, not occupy. Our strength is not enough to do this. If we divide into two teams, there is a risk of being defeated one by one. And we already have enough chips and don't have to take risks."
Seeing that Zhong Yun had made up his mind, Chen Wen did not persuade him anymore. He positioned himself as a staff officer and was responsible for making suggestions. In the end, he also required the commander Zhong Yun as the final decision.
Davao Republic, Interim Operations Department.
"Is there no news about the 45th Fleet?" The Marshal sat high on the podium, his face gloomy.
"No." The answer was the minister in charge of external liaison. "Since the Forty-Fifteenth Fleet sent back a message of victory fifteen hours ago, my liaison office has never contacted me again."
According to regulations, they had to send back a contact signal every two hours. However, the 45th Fleet had not contacted the temporary combat department for fifteen hours.
After he finished speaking, the entire temporary combat department was terrible. The marshal pressed his hand down before he sat down carefully, for fear of making a sound.
Everyone present seemed to have a huge rock pressing on their hearts, which was so heavy that it made people breathless.
The marshal lowered his head, his finger joints pressed against his eyebrows, and fell into great trouble.
Whether in public or private, it is unbearable for him to lose contact with the Forty-Fifteenth Fleet.
In the public, the 45th Fleet is almost the last force that Davao can bring out. If they encounter any accidents, they can only draw troops from other military regions. It is the last move, and he will not do that until the last moment.
In private, every aristocratic family has a direct heir on the 45th Fleet. This was their agreement at the beginning, in order to show the determination of the aristocratic family to fight to the end.
The representative of the Yang family is Yang Yunlong, the eldest son of the current head of the family, Yang Bingchang. Moreover, after the fleet set off, he realized that his genius nie was also on it.
Neither the Yang family nor the Liu family could bear such losses at the same time.
The 45th Fleet was progressing very smoothly at the beginning. When the people from the temporary combat department learned that they had successfully reached the rear of the enemy through the jump point, they were all excited. Then good news continued to come, and they destroyed seven enemy supply stations in a row and rescued hundreds of thousands of citizens.
Then it wiped out a huge supply fleet of the enemy and cut off the enemy's supply in a short period of time.
This is of a turning point for Davao. The president made a quick decision and started the country's propaganda machine, not only informing the entire army of this victory, but also covering the whole country.
This is a great victory that the people urgently need. Since the war started, Davao's army has been retreating on the battlefield. Many people have begun to feel pessimistic, and even shopping for supplies has occurred on the market.
Both the army and the people need a big victory to boost morale.
Therefore, even though he knew that this would make it more difficult for Zhong Yun to contain him in the future, the Interim Operations Department agreed to the decision to promote this victory. It only slapped Zhong Yun's contribution and role in no way.
Despite this, the people of Davao still expressed great concern for the young hero.
The seventeen-year-old major general captain (the media did not say that Zhong Yun was the commander of this fleet, but only mentioned his identity as captain), which is already legendary enough. He also led the warship to achieve such a huge victory (due to the need for publicity, this victory was obviously exaggerated).
Zhong Yun became a household name almost overnight, and the attention of the other five captains was not that high.
However, amid the flowers and applause, some people began to question why Zhong Yun was able to win the rank of major general at the age of seventeen?
So, an article titled "The Shame and Corruption of the Army - The Record of the Seventeen-Year-Old Major General" began to spread wildly on the virtual network.
This article reveals the fact that the military headquarters is monopolized by several families, and uses a large amount of detailed information and examples to prove the dark side and corruption of the army. The most typical example is the seventeen-year-old major general. At the end, he said with a clear conscience that the reason why Davao's army was defeated so quickly was entirely because of the low combat effectiveness of the army's familyization and corruption.
As soon as this article was published, the people were in an uproar. The next day, a large number of people went to the Presidential Palace to protest and asked them to give an explanation. In less than half a day, the entire Presidential Palace was surrounded and the crowd was infuriated.
The people in the temporary combat department were furious and ordered the Ministry of State Security to immediately find out the rumor-producing people, and on the other hand, they formed an emergency team to ask them to quickly resolve the crisis.
The emergency team immediately came up with a plan. The reason why this rumor can have such a big impact is that Zhong Yun, a seventeen-year-old major general. It is actually very simple to resolve it. Just make the reason why Zhong Yun got this military rank public.
The people from the temporary combat department were very helpless. The reason why they covered up that war was not only Zhong Yun’s request. They did not want the Yang family’s power to continue to expand. But now they can’t cover it up even if they want to cover it up.
On the same day, a spokesperson for the military ministry made a speech, and all media broadcasted it live.
