Chapter 109

　"Yerif himself admitted that he had colluded with the pirates. He was so guilty that he committed suicide to apologize? Yes, the location of the Little Hummingbird Fortress is delicate. After the Legion of Glory occupied Votto, Yerif turned back to deal with it under the banner of "Defense Alliance" The anti-Ukrainian movement is also very subtle, so what? Today Yerif will be subtle, tomorrow Marshal Wolf will be subtle, and the day after tomorrow I will probably be subtle too." Ankru blew away the fine foam on the tea, smiled, and turned around. Nodding to his think tank, "Ignore this nonsense, you continue talking."

　"General, the Anti-Ukrainian Society mobilized hundreds of heavy armors today and are about to enter the eighth galaxy. Do you think we should do the same? Take action?"

　"Don't worry, it's not that easy. Do you know how many heavy armors were dispatched when the Alliance Central Committee forced Lin Jingheng to disarm?" Ankru lowered his head and immersed himself in various battlefield data, "Let's wait and see. For a while, I am afraid that the anti-Ukrainian gang will have to bring in a hundred more heavy armors. Lin Jingheng is so easy to deal with, I would have taken action long ago - speaking of which, who knows where the heavy armors in Lin Jingheng's hands came from? Were they all before? Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?"

　"We haven't been able to place useful spies in the eighth galaxy yet, but according to rumors, they were captured on the battlefield."

　"Fart, you don't know what the heavy armor of the Anti-Ukrainian Society looks like? ? Is it this model?" Ancru interrupted him, "Lin Jingheng has secretly taken root outside the territory these years. No wonder he chose to hide in the eighth galaxy."

　"General," another person in the think tank Said, "Please also pay attention to the transfer of residents in the eighth galaxy."

　Ancru said more seriously: "Tell me about it."

　"Lin Jingheng suddenly evacuated all the residents close to the front line, and the space station was also relocated. We analyzed that he Maybe they want to build a chain of military fortresses to..."

　"Are you tired of eating?" Ancru was completely impatient and rudely interrupted the brainless man named "Brain Tank" again. He felt that he was recruited from the seventh galaxy. The so-called "think tanks" who came here are just to set off his own brilliance and prowess. "Lin Jingheng's advantage is high mobility, and his characteristic is that he has few soldiers. Now he is following the strategy of 'defeating more with less' and 'using offense as defense. "What kind of 'Great Wall' should we build? Do you think he is as stupid as you?"

　The think tank didn't dare to say anything.

　The entire conference room was quiet for a moment. Ancru ignored the others and cast his eyes heavily on the conference table. After a moment, he asked in a nonchalant way: "Everyone has been evacuated?"

　"Yes. "

　Ancru suddenly remembered something and stood up suddenly: "Didn't you tell me earlier? The whole team!"

　Just now he said that Lin Jingheng was difficult to deal with and that he would wait for the anti-Ukrainian meeting to "come with another hundred mechas." Suddenly he changed After speaking, a group of men who couldn't keep up with the rhythm looked at each other.

　The guards followed closely, confused: "General, didn't you mean..."

　"It will be too late if we don't take action," Ancru said in a deep voice, "Haven't you seen it yet? Lin Jingheng is planning to be unable to hold on. Just blow up the jump point and isolate the eighth galaxy!"

　Lin Jingheng personally sat on the front line and kept an eye on the fighting on the front line and the transfer of residents to both sides. During this time, the Anti-Ukrainian Society was frantically dispatching troops from other galaxies to the eighth galaxy, and they were stalking them. Fighting, the two sides have been in a stalemate for more than ten days.

　The front line is okay. As long as there are enough missiles, Turan's guy can't die easily anyway. The main residents have evacuated, leaving him mentally and physically exhausted.

　If you want to spread the risk, you have to divide people into many batches. But firstly, Lin Jingheng doesn't have that many people, and secondly, he can't delay the time for that long. But if you want speed, using large starships and heavy armor to transport people full of people will not be enough to take care of them. Moreover, if there is an accident during the escort, the number of casualties will definitely exceed tens of thousands. Whether it is Lin Jingheng or the commander-in-chief, No one can bear this responsibility.

　He thought he was great for decades, but then he discovered that guarding was really much harder than destroying, and he needed three heads and six arms to do it.

　For more than ten days, Lin Jingheng barely slept a wink.

　Lu Bixing had just settled a group of evacuated residents and learned that the last group of people were already on the way, so he took advantage of the dust and rushed to the frontline command center.

　While walking, I also communicated with the director and others about the planet plan.

　"Whether we seal the eight galaxies in the end or not, it is necessary to gather a population," Lu Bixing said. "Firstly, it saves interstellar transportation costs, and secondly, it increases the population agglomeration effect. Most of the eight galaxies are vast and sparsely populated, at least There will be no shortage of natural resources for a hundred years. When development stabilizes and the population increases, we can expand the residential area."

　"I know, this is the truth," Director Edward sighed, "But... I still hope we don't. To the point of sealing off the eight galaxies. "

　It's ironic that the new government of the eight galaxies was established based on their belief in the Declaration of Freedom, but now they are betraying the alliance.

　Intellectually everyone admits that this is right, but emotionally they can't always accept it, like a bunch of resentful women who have been separated from a scumbag a hundred times and are still disconnected.

　In fact, even Lin Jingheng resisted, but because it was Lu Bixing's suggestion, he remained silent.

　Lu Bixing always felt that Lin actually loved the alliance, but this love was contradictory and deep, under layers of hatred and indifference, even though the alliance had hurt him.

　There are things at the bottom of his complicated soul that come from the Alliance and cannot be separated from him.

　Lu Bixing nodded with the guard, opened the gene lock, and walked directly into the command center, but his footsteps suddenly stopped at the door - Lin Jingheng had different communication terminals hung on his left and right ears, one connected to Turan and the other connected to withdraw. The Civil Guard, it was rare for both sides to shut up at this time, and he had fallen asleep in the short gap.

　The sleeping posture was also very upright. Lu Bixing could not imagine that anyone could sleep so upright. Like a blink of an eye, the eyelids did not open as soon as they were closed, and the muscles in the body did not have time to relax, and the person was already unconscious.

　Zhan Lu, who was in human form, was beside him. When he saw Lu Bixiang coming in, he turned to him and was about to speak.

　Lu Bixing quickly raised a finger at him.

　Zhan Lu thought for a while, then transformed into a robot hand and hung it on the back of Lin Jingheng's chair.

　Lu Bixing silently gestured at him and said, "Are you out of battery again?"

　Zhan Lu, who looked like a robot hand, stretched out his palm, and two rows of small green characters appeared on his palm: "I currently have enough battery, but research shows that when couples are together, "Having a humanoid or human-like object listening nearby will make both parties uncomfortable."

　"You become the same," Lu Bixing showed the words on the personal terminal on his wrist to Zhan Lu, and also turned it into an environmentally friendly one. Green words said, "You have too much sense of presence, and you love to participate in your owner's life more than pets."

　Zhan Lu corrected him calmly: "I didn't 'participate', I just observed and recorded."

　Lu Bixing tried not to make any footsteps, He took off his shoes at the door, barefooted, and quietly walked up to Lin Jingheng, half-kneeling at his feet.

　Lin Jingheng put a hand on his knee. It had clear joints and long fingers. Lu Bixing felt itchy and wanted to touch it, but he didn't want to disturb him, so he put his hand in the air, two millimeters apart, and rested it on the back of Lin Jingheng's hand.

　The robot arm on the back of the chair leaned forward slightly. Zhan Lu looked at this action that was difficult for the artificial intelligence to understand with great curiosity: "Is this some kind of special magnetic field? Sorry, I couldn't detect it."

　"...I'm not exerting my power." Lu Bixing retracted his hand in a sullen voice, "Shouldn't couples stick together every day no matter what, put two sticks in a drink and get used to drinking it together, and waste countless hours doing boring things together? In the past half month, I have said a total of three sentences to him, one is "It is expected to be completed on time", the other is "Safety", and the only useful sentence is "I miss you", which does not add up to fifteen words. "

　Manipulator Zhan Lu replied: "The last sentence was not received here due to signal interference at the time."

　Lu Bixing: "..."

　If the eighth galaxy is closed, this small galaxy island may become a paradise. Even if the bombed jump point can be rebuilt according to the old map, it will take at least hundreds of years to reconnect the faulted space. Only one opening of the underground channel will be left for the Silver Ten Guards, and the rest can be discarded except for one. If you open your mouth, even if the enemy finds you, it will be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

　A hundred years from now, will the Eighth Galaxy be inferior to the Alliance that is in chaos?

　Lu Bixing thought that if he could live a life where Lin Jingheng would be there every day when he opened his eyes, he would be able to do anything.

　At this moment, a call suddenly came from the earphone on Lin Jingheng's side: "General!"

　Lin Jingheng woke up immediately. However, he opened his eyes and suddenly met Lu Bixing's gaze. He was suddenly in a trance and stayed blank for a moment. Except for this situation, It was rare to see the expression on his face. Lu Bixing reacted quickly and immediately captured it with his personal terminal. Before Lin Jingheng reached out to grab him, he jumped up and hid two meters away. He proudly shook the two-inch virtual image floating on his wrist. : "I want to take it back and model it and print it in 3D."

　Zhan Lu: "Principal Lu, according to the Alliance Public Security Management Law, using candid photos to print 3D portraits is an obscene act."

　Lin Jingheng couldn't laugh or cry, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. , half laughed, then remembered that Lu Bixing had not had time to settle the debt for going to the front line without saying hello, so he forced a straight face and glared at him.

　He connected to the communication, so awake as if he had never slept before, and asked Turan on the front line: "What?"

　"The Anti-Ukrainian Society is increasing its troops again. The energy level is estimated to be a hundred heavy armors."

　Lin Jingheng pinched the bridge of his nose. I feel that the anti-Ukrainians love him too deeply: "Don't touch them head-on. Go around them a few times. I'll give you reinforcements after the population is evacuated..."

　"General," this is another communication channel responsible for evacuating civilians. "The Central Army of the Seven Systems suddenly moved. Visually checking the direction of travel is to go around the front of the transport team."

　Lin Jingheng closed her eyes for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Show the 'pass'."

　The so-called "pass" is a This special light signal allows nearby teams to automatically receive the mecha's range and passenger identity in space. Once a space mecha displays this logo, it means that it is carrying unarmed civilians. Out of humanitarianism to protect civilians, Interstellar The established rule is not to attack when you see the pass.

　Of course, this kind of agreement is to guard against gentlemen but not villains. The interstellar pirates will definitely not accept this, but the Seven Galaxy Central Army will inevitably have to weigh it.

　"General," Ancru's bodyguard said on the other side, "They seem to have issued a "civilian protection pass.""

　Ancru was a little surprised: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen Lin Jingheng show weakness."

　Although "a soldier never tires of deception ." ", Under deception, it is normal to use any means, but everyone still has his own preferences and styles in acting. Some people, even if they are cunning, are also fierce and cunning like tigers and wolves.

　"His friends from outside the territory got him military supplies, why didn't he send some troops along the way?" Ancru said, raising his hand, the mecha team filed in from the jump point and landed brazenly on the transport team. On the route, the cold muzzles were raised, and the Eight Galaxy Guards were forced to stop. The escort mechas formed a circle, surrounding the starship filled with civilians.

　"General An, according to the rules, we cannot attack unarmed civilians."

　Ancru asked: "Have I ordered the artillery fire?"

　"General," Turan said to Lin Jingheng's left ear, "the anti-Ukrainian movement is spreading towards civilian waterways. "Have the convoy withdrawn?"

　"General, Ancru has blocked the waterway and refused to talk, what should I do?"

　"You stop the anti-Ukrainian group, the convoy is still halfway, they cannot be allowed to enter the civilian waterway." Lin Jingheng Said to Turan.

　Turan was short of manpower, and the escort took away a lot of her armed forces. She gritted her teeth and said, "I obey—but General, they must hurry up. I can stop the anti-Ukrainian group for half an hour at most, otherwise I will be killed." I'm going to die."

　Lu Bixing asked, "What kind of person is this Ancru?"

　Lin Jingheng stood up and put Zhan Lu on his arm: "Ancru seems to have no plans, he laughs and curses, and sometimes he is a bit rude. , but he was very popular in Lu Xin's old department. He once served as Lu Xin's personal guard, and later performed well, so he was released by Lu Xin for training. They wanted him to earn some military merit, and be promoted to major general and transferred back to the Military Commission after a few years... "

　Unexpectedly, Lu Xin himself didn't have time.

　"Well," Lu Bixing nodded, "sometimes it's hard for you to tell whether a person is sincere and exchanges sincerity for sincerity, or whether he is scheming and slick."

　People always have some stereotypes and think that those who look a little rough, People with bad tempers, or even a little withdrawn, have a "true temperament" that is careless.

　Lin Jingheng: "Prepare the mecha - send another communication request to Ancru. I want to talk to him."

　"Lin Jingheng." Ancru glanced at the communication request during the stalemate, rubbed his wrist, and used a He said to the guard next to him in a tone that sounded like he was talking to himself, "Sometimes you really feel that the world is unfair. You are still on the front line with your head on your belt, and you are born in Wulan College, but you are not born, and you are treated like heaven and earth - —There are also differences within Wulan College. Each year's "outstanding graduates" will have an officer rank upon graduation, at least a lieutenant colonel. Among the students of a class, who will finally get this honor is outlined on the admission list. "This Admiral Lin started at the end of others, but he took such a path... Ha, we ordinary people can't understand it anyway."

　The communication request was rejected again.

　Many people on the starship carrying passengers are traveling in space for the first time in their lives. These people who have never been conditioned by the Garden of Eden have been struggling to survive for most of their lives. Almost 40% of them have various psychological traumas. Although starships are more comfortable than mechas, the terrifying space environment will still infinitely amplify anxiety, fear and depression.

　As the stalemate between the two sides became longer and longer, the atmosphere became more and more disturbing. Someone suddenly collapsed, screamed and cried. The medical cabin waiting nearby responded quickly and stepped forward to save the collapsed person. Towed away, but the fuse of mass panic has been lit.

　At the same time, seeing that the anti-Ukrainian society was going further and further on civilian waterways, Turan had no choice but to take action. But this was not a good time - the civil aviation route was simple and there were relatively few jump points, which was quite unfriendly to the guerrillas. Turan took a detour and went straight up, passing through the jump points to stop the anti-Ukrainian army, and directly fired a wave of guided missiles. /bomb.

　The Anti-Ukrainian Society quickly dispersed, and at the same time they discovered the attackers' serene inner beauty. A hundred or so heavy armors formed an encirclement, blocking the jump point for escape, and directly trapped Turan and the others in the center.

　"Everyone," Turan said in the communication channel, "our mission today is not to annihilate them here, we..."

　Before she could finish her words, the Anti-Ukrainian Society had already launched a counterattack, with superimposed high-energy particle cannons pouring down. fall.

　Turan: "Bitch--get out of the way!"

　The Self-Defense Forces were suppressed by the opponent's artillery fire and retreated for dozens of kilometers.

　"Guard Captain, look at the channel map."

　Turan gasped. The next jump point on the channel is half a sailing day away. Once you get close to it, the group of civilians and guards who have not had time to evacuate will enter the heavy armor's long-range range. Scan range.

　"Are they stuck in a space-time rift? Why haven't they left yet? Damn it!"

　The Self-Defense Forces had no choice but to face the artillery fire. Both sides turned on their firepower to the maximum, and lights began to appear one after another on the communication channel. Points extinguished - Each extinguished point of light represents a downed mech.

　The warning that the protective shield was damaged gave Turan a splitting headache: "Shut up!"

　At this moment, the Anti-Ukrainian Association seemed to realize what they were protecting. The heavy armor team suddenly split into two, and the main force continued to bombard the three with artillery fire. Taking advantage of Turan and the others' inability to parry, more than a dozen heavy armors bypassed the firefight area and headed straight for the jump point ahead!

　"General, I can't hold on any longer!"

　Lin Jingheng sent a third communication request, but Ancru still refused. Ancru neither communicated nor fired, as if he was determined to fight them.

　Lin Jingheng: "Open the way for the missiles, hit them!"

　"General, once we fire first, the pass will be considered invalid..."

　Lin Jingheng ignored it and gave the attack order expressionlessly. The machines surrounding the starship A suddenly changes team.

　Ancru smiled as if he breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll just tell him, Lin Jingheng is playing interstellar humanitarian play, and is ready..."

　At this moment, the guard suddenly stepped forward: "General, you want to take a look This."

　Ancru: "I'll see you later..."

　"The "Central Army" from all over the country has responded to the news from the alliance. They are looking for you!"

　Ancru was stunned.
