After receiving the graduation certificate from Li Fulai and being informed that the academy would hold an award ceremony for him at 3 pm, Lin Fan and Emma left the simulation building.
"Are you leaving today?"
Emma walked beside Lin Fan and asked softly.
"Yes, the commander said that he would take me away after the award ceremony in the afternoon."
"But the frontline now … hmm …"
Just as Emma was about to say something, Lin Fan covered her mouth with his hand.
"I know about the frontline and I know more than you."
Emma looked at Lin Fan with her beautiful eyes. She did not understand how Lin Fan knew. This information should have been kept under wraps. If it was not for a big family like the Kanber family, it would be impossible for him to know about it.
That was right. Although the Federation was calm now, it was not the case at all.
Ever since the humans formed the Federation and began to march into the galaxy, in just over ten years, the three star systems, Proxima Centauri, Barnard, and Tianyuan IV, were included in the Federation.
For a time, the humans were in a frenzy of interstellar navigation. Unexpectedly, just a few years later, they encountered the powerful Oxus Empire in the universe.
It was no longer important who made the first move. Under the law of the jungle in the universe, there was no need for so-called righteousness to attack another civilization.
In the following thirty years, the Federation and the Ochs civilization fought countless battles.
From Tianyuan IV to Barnard, then from Barnard to Proxima Centauri.
In the end, the Federation's three fleets outside the solar system were wiped out. At the same time, the three star systems, Proxima Centauri, Barnard, and Tianyuan IV, were all declared to have fallen.
At this point, the Human Federation's four main fleets were only left with the Fourth Fleet stationed in the solar system.
The overall number of warships decreased from the peak of 150,000 to 30,000, including 20,000 from the Fourth Fleet and 10,000 from the garrison fleet.
The Oxus Empire's 200,000 warships were heading straight for the solar system.
Year 52 of the Federation Calendar, the Ochs fleet entered the Solar System. Liang Xingchen, who had just become the commander of the Fourth Fleet, withstood the pressure and ordered all fleets to retreat to the Mars base.
Liang Xingchen knew that with a tenfold difference in combat strength, there was absolutely no chance of victory in a direct confrontation.
No matter how strong he was, in a head-on battle, a 1: 3 loss ratio would be his limit. His only chance was to use the asteroid belt to find an opportunity to break through the enemy.
Very quickly, the Oxus Empire's fleet arrived at Jupiter due to the lack of defense. At this point, there was only an asteroid belt separating the two sides.
Three months later, the Oxus Empire's 200,000 battleships entered the asteroid belt and were finally ambushed by Liang Xingchen.
The battle lasted for three whole days. In the end, the Federation's Fourth Fleet lost 8,000 warships, while the Oxus Empire lost 80,000 warships and retreated to Jupiter.
It was also this battle that established Liang Xingchen's status as the Federation's military god.
After that, in order to maintain internal stability, the Federation changed the public record to the complete annihilation of the Oxus Empire's 200,000 warships. They also announced that they had defeated the Oxus Empire, causing all the Federation citizens to think that the war was over.
However, the truth was that although the Oxus Empire had suffered great losses, they still had 120,000 warships on Jupiter. Humans were still holed up in the asteroid belt and could not leave.
According to Liang Xingchen's judgment, the Oxus Empire had not organized a second attack in the past few years. Their purpose was most likely to be to wait for reinforcements.
Therefore, the current situation of humans was quite bad. It was the complete opposite of the Federation's peaceful image.
"Don't worry, maybe when you come to the Mars base next year, I will already be a general."
"Hehe, you're only 19 now. You'll only be 20 next year and you want to be a general? You're dreaming! Even General Liang Xingchen was 28 when he became a major general! "
"Then let's make a bet. If I'm already a major general when you come to the Mars base next year, be my girlfriend!"
"Who … who wants to make a bet with you!"
Emma's little face instantly turned red. She immediately turned around and ran away.
"You're so dishonest! Sigh, I'm leaving in the afternoon. Let's report to the old man. How troublesome! "
Then, Lin Fan returned to his dormitory and prepared to pack. However, before packing, there was something he had to do first. He had to call his father.
Soon, the communication device was connected and a dignified voice came from the other side.
"I'm Lin Zhen!"
"It's me."
"Speak!"
"I just finished my graduation assessment in advance. After I'm awarded my title in the afternoon, I'll be following General Liang Xingchen to the Mars base. I just wanted to inform you."
"Is that so?"
"Is that so? I say, old man, can you not be so stingy with your words every time? "
"What's there to talk about with a brat like you? Get out of here! I'm very busy! "
"Which day are you not busy?"
"Do you think I'm like you? Don't think I don't know that you're always sleeping in the academy! "
"What's wrong with sleeping? Sleeping makes me happy, sleeping makes me strong. No matter how much I sleep, I'm still the strongest!"
"You!! I'm so pissed off. "
Although he was angry, Lin Zhen really couldn't refute. Lin Fan was really getting stronger the more he slept.
This was simply too much. According to the report from his subordinates, this brat slept in class and slept after class …
In short, he was always looking for opportunities to sleep. However, the problem was that this guy really got stronger the more he slept. After sleeping for a few years, even all the instructors in the academy were no match for him.
He was clearly a very obedient and hardworking child when he was young. How did he become like this when he grew up?
The more Lin Zhen thought about it, the angrier he got.
"That's enough, old man. I'm just here to say goodbye to you. Who knows if we'll have a chance to talk again in the future, right?"
Lin Zhen was silent. Others might not know, but how could he not know the situation at the frontline? He was the president of the Federation.
As for Lin Fan, Lin Zhen didn't want his position to negatively affect Lin Fan's growth. Therefore, he had kept Lin Fan's information confidential long ago. The information that was released to the public was a modified version of false information.
Therefore, the entire academy, including the dean, Li Fulai, didn't know that Lin Fan was the son of the Federation's president.
For a moment, the two of them didn't speak. The atmosphere was a little quiet.
"Be careful. I don't want to see my son die before me."
"You're the one who should take care of your body!"
"..."
Speaking of which, the conversation between Lin Zhen and Lin Fan was always like this. It seemed like they were always arguing with each other, but in fact, they were very concerned about each other. This was also their unique way of communicating.
After ending the call, Lin Fan began to pack up. Then, seeing that there was still a lot of time left, he directly lay on the bed and slept. Oh no, it was training!
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, all the students and instructors were gathered in the central hall of the academy for the conferment ceremony.
As for the students who gathered, they were quite confused. Wasn't the conferment ceremony held once a year? The last one had just ended. Why was there another conferment ceremony? Who was the conferment for?
Not to mention the students, even the instructors were confused.
When Li Fulai went on stage and spoke, everyone exploded.
