A pale gray-metallic Federation transport ship navigating the low-scale space of the Evening Scorpion Nebula. The 3,000 officers and men of the New 17th Division on the transport ship were forced to concentrate on the journey again after they had been on vacation for less than 100 days.

For the commanders, this sentiment in the ranks was undoubtedly negative and dangerous, but fortunately, the purpose of their trip was not to attack the empire itself, but to take care of the security of the forward base.

For Xu Le, nostalgia was not his main emotion at this time, he looked at the black-haired shawl in front of him, and the woman with unusual beauty was more surprised and burdened.

He couldn't have imagined that Jian Shui'er would actually appear in the transport ship and become a female reporter with the army, and what surprised him even more was that the national girl who had not been seen by the people for a long time poured out her black hair like a waterfall after taking off her white hat, and she didn't see the vigorous purple in the deepest part of her memory.

A little-heated but somewhat stubborn argument took place between two young men and women, and Magnolia and a group of officers were very interested in leaving the cabin early. Looking at Qingli's still touching and beautiful face in front of her, and the long black hair that was slightly spread out on the incense fan, Xu Le faintly understood why she had made such a big change, sighed in her heart, and was about to say something, but her eyes narrowed.

"I have a few things to deal with. He said to Jian Shui'er, and then turned back to Jian Shui'er looking at his resolute back, with an innocent look on his face, and spread his hands cutely and said, "This is my own hair, what are you doing so angry?"

Xu Le knew that he had no reason to be angry at someone for changing their hairstyle, it was boring and ridiculous, but he was still angry, because that purple meant too many memories and traces of life to him.

But he walked back to his room quickly at this time, leaving the other party with a cold back, but not playing childish, but because...... A black left eye pupil suddenly appeared with a white character.

After that night in the barracks, the old thing rarely took the initiative to contact him, so at that moment, he was a little surprised and nervous about what had happened.

"There is no specific data?" Xu Le sat on the edge of the bed and asked puzzledly: "But you are based on logic and information capture, and there is no valid information, how do you judge that something big will happen in the Federation?"

"Chaotic computing, I can't list the calculation process, only know that countless subtle variables are leading to a data turbulence over time. ”

"Based on your first-order clearances, I formally report the first variable to you. ”

"After the Medellín project, the Charter Bureau cooperated with the federal cleansing efforts, but on November 25 of the previous year, the authorization for the data cleansing work I was engaged in was suspended, and according to the pre-event data, there was an Imperial Seed, which was outside the scope of surveillance at this time. ”

Hearing this, Xu Le's brows furrowed even more, and he clasped his hands tightly with each other, and said, "Where is this seed now?"

"There is no right to help, and no corresponding monitoring report is generated. The Federal Central Computer replied. "I vote for power, and I know you know where he is. Xu Le lowered his head and clenched his fists, "The emperor and Zihuai are in 520 at this time, "Who is the person who suspended the authorization of the investigation?" ”

Xu Le's eyes narrowed, he knew this assistant Cui Judong, and knew that this person was the only candidate for the next director of the Charter Bureau, which was recognized by the Federation, why would he suspend the investigation and vote? If there was a problem with even a federal official at this level, how serious would the matter be......

"Then you are so confused ...... calculation," he changed a verb: "Guess the question) Where does the competition take place?"

"Can't be sure. ”

"Why didn't you warn me before?"

"Because these things have nothing to do with you, and now ...... According to my chaotic calculations, this matter will be relevant to you. ”

"Fuck you chaotic calculations. ”

Xu Le said a dirty word lightly, rubbed his hair vigorously, and his heart was full of unprecedented confusion and unknown fears, and the alarm sounded violently!

Accompanied by the soft music and the smell of coffee, the ancient bell spaceship, which had been sailing peacefully for many days, suddenly the alarm sounded, the ship's defense system automatically switched the energy supply interface, the dim light replaced the bright light, and countless indicator light strips flashed constantly.

"Locked by a ranged weapon!Locked by a ranged weapon!" "Male degree soars!Hold on!"

The hoarse shouts of nervousness kept sounding in the command system, and the engine group of the Ancient Bell suddenly accelerated, avoiding the calm starry sky above at high speed, and after a violent movement, there was a loud bang behind the ship!

There was an explosion on the right rear hull of the Gu Zhong, and the huge force knocked the people in the cabin to the ground, and at that moment, it seemed that there were more than ten dangerous jet rays outside the wide porthole, and if all these weapons hit the spaceship just now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"What's going on!"

The officers on the Ancient Bell struggled to their feet, rushed back to their posts, and shouted angrily and confusedly, this is in the space of the Federation, how dare those pirates of the Bermuda Triangle launch an attack on the Ancient Bell?

"The other side has our electronic code frequency! Change the data immediately and find them out!"

The rapid sound in the finger system continued, and suddenly under attack, Gu Zhonghao and the four frigates beside him brushed shoulders with death several times, and the people on the ship still didn't know what was happening, they were angry and helpless trying to change the current passive situation, thinking that the stupidest pirates in Bermuda did not recognize the Xilin logo on the Gu Zhong, and some Xilin soldiers even thought coldly that this could be a government conspiracy, but no one linked the attack to the Imperials.

The electronic codes on the Gu Zhong and the four warships were quickly and randomly moved, and the scene of the surrounding dark space was converted into a visual picture and entered into the light curtain in the command hall, and the officers and men saw a picture that shocked them speechlessly, and the inside of the battleship fell into a deathly sinking.

In the dark distance of space, with the beautiful stars of the Evening Scorpion Nebula as the background, dozens of light warships with black and awe-inspiring forests appeared around the Ancient Bell, like ghosts crawling out of hell, silently blocking all passages.

The officers and soldiers of Xilin looked at the light curtain with shocked expressions, looking at the black fleet ambushing them, they were very unfamiliar with this kind of warship, but they were very familiar, strange because the other party had never appeared in the starry sky of the Federation, and familiar because there were many wrecks of such warships in the barren star field outside the border of Xilin.

Each of these ships had a beast-shaped bow, and the flag of the black tree was deeply engraved into the hull by a laser knife, claiming to be immortal.

"It's Imperial!"

There was a loud shout from the ancient bell, followed by countless exclamations, everyone's eyes shrank in this moment, and the officers and soldiers of Xilin were angry and shocked... The fleet of the Imperials has appeared in the starry sky of the Federation!

Regarding this attack that shocked the entire universe, the Federation conducted a special investigation for two years, and those heavy reviews and reflections lasted for decades. Two years later, when Parliament Hill reviewed the investigation report, a middle-aged councillor from the West Forest Region angrily and sadly asked many whys and ifs.

Why did the important commanders of the federal military travel without the escort of the federal fleet? The Xilin Military Region has always refused to accept the escort of the federal fleet, and this is an old practice that has lasted for many years, and the military has recognized it as a powerful habit; if there is no such old practice and habit, but in strict accordance with the federal military regulations, is it possible for the imperial people's shameless sneak attack to fail?

The federal generals and the representatives of the Xilin Zhong family on the defense bench were all convinced and did not express any opinions.

Why is it that the cruising density of the Federation fleet is so low on the outside of the Gary Corridor and the Evening Scorpion Nebula, the two most important space passages, that after the attack on the Ancient Bell, it was impossible to get timely assistance, except for the first chasing ship, the first to rush to the rescue was actually Xilin's civilian spacecraft? If the federal government's budget could first meet the charter bureau's net-laying requirements there, and if the federal fleet could increase its cruising efforts, would it be possible to avoid this tragedy?

Admiral Hong Yuliang of the Federation Fleet explained that the scope of the space passage is too large, and it is not a small torsion hole that the general public recognizes, even if all the warships of the Federation are tightly guarded here, they can only be like an ant trying to hold the entire Charter Square, but this point, after the forward base is put into use, the chair has been significantly improved.

Moreover, in the spring of the Xianli year, part of the main force of the Federation Fleet was transferred to the barren star field on the outer edge of the Xilin Region to annihilate the backup fleet of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

The Federal Budget Office replied that "since President Pabur took office, he has raised the budget ratio of the Charter Bureau to the maximum amount, and additional additions may lead to serious financial problems, and most importantly, Charter I clearly stipulates that the budget of the Charter Office is floating and the government has no authority to change it."

There were many questions and many reasons for replying, but in fact, everyone from the president to ordinary citizens knew in their hearts that the tragedy happened entirely because the Federation had never imagined that the Empire was capable of successfully sending an entire fleet, even just a medium-sized fleet, through the space passage.

No one thought of it, not a single one.

This terrible homesickness has cost the Federation dearly. Of course, if what the Councillor said about Cillin had been successful, perhaps the attack would not have turned out to be the final one.

It's a pity that history has no ifs, so at this moment, the Gu Zhong spaceship and the man with a special identity on board are in the tragic situation of being ruthlessly hunted by the imperial fleet and fighting alone.

The quiet space directly in front of the Evening Scorpion Nebula was filled with silent explosions and circular dust rings fluctuating at the moment, and dozens of modified black warships of the Empire were shuttling through space at high speed, and the battleship weapons were firing fiercely.

With the ultra-solid alloy armor of the hull, the Gu Zhong, which withstood the first round of sneak attacks, lost part of its power because of the explosion at the rear left and rear of the ship, and one of the four corvettes has become a firework in the universe, not lonely, only tragic.

Under the desperate cover of the remaining three Xilin warships, the Ancient Bell engine group risked a second stage merge in an attempt to force an escape at an accelerated pace, but the acceleration process was interrupted by the even more deadly suicide attack of the Imperial Ghost Fleet, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

"Commander, there is a signal to reconnoitre! The nearest unit is a transport ship outside the 337 Astronomical Order.

In the dim flickering light, a Xilin officer with sweat and blood flowing on his face, looked at the back outside the porthole and said in a loud voice, he is not afraid of death, let alone the imperial people, but he is very afraid that the back in front of him will disappear into this universe because of the incompetence of himself and his comrades.

"Continue to call support...... But it's limited to military channels, don't let those civilian ships rush over and send them to their deaths. ”

Zhong Shouhu's faint right hand held the back of the chair hard, and looked at the fierce battle picture outside the window with an expressionless face, until this time, the two sides were still attacking with long-range weapons, and did not use the carrier-based aircraft group, but when the Gu Zhong and the three battleships used up all their main guns, but they were still unlucky enough to destroy the finger ships in the imperial ambush fleet, the outcome of this ambush battle was extremely clear.

The disparity between the strength of the enemy and us is too great, even if his military talent has been in the universe for many years, dominating one side, and coldly disdainful of Du Shaoqing, he still can't turn the situation around.

"Commanding warships is not my forte, tell the troops, go and fight happily, and if you can hit a few ships, you can fight a few ships, and the commander I like to see these fireworks the most. ”

The corners of Zhong Shouhu's lips curled, he laughed, and gently patted his wife's shoulder beside him.

Mrs. Zhong sat in the chair with a pale face, her left hand clutching the hem of his military uniform, she hit the corner of the wall in the first wave of attacks, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her forehead, and her quiet and atmospheric expression in the past seemed a little timid and helpless at the moment.

"Yes, Commander!" replied Officer Cillin in a voice that bordered on roaring, and then quickly ran towards the upper control room by holding on to the bulkhead.

"Counting the number of warships of the Imperials, the panoramic shots were sent back to the Federation to tell the Federation that the Imperials were able to pass through the space passage. ”

The smile on Zhong Shouhu's face gradually faded, and he said in a deep voice to the officers behind him: "The number of warships they can send over at most at one time is probably what we saw. ”

This judgment stems from his clear awareness of his own importance, and the Empire has developed the technology to travel through the space passage in an attempt to hunt itself, which will inevitably throw all the power they can into it at once.

If you want to hunt this tiger in Xilin, how can you dare to say that you will win without going all out?

Hearing the commander's words, the Xilin officers on the Gu Zhong collectively sank for a moment, quickly returned to their posts, and prepared for the final battle of their lives.

As the most important commander of the Federation military, at the moment when his life is facing the greatest danger and may end at any time, Zhong Shouhu is still concerned about the fate of the Federation.

At this most dangerous moment, the ancient bell temple reassembled the intact engine group, made a new torque adjustment, and tried to make one last acceleration attempt under the cover of the suicide of the three frigates.

The three frigates turned into fireworks one by one in front of the eyes of everyone on the Gu Zhong, and when they saw that the Gu Zhong was about to reach a critical speed, flee the battlefield, and shake off those ghostly imperial warship groups, suddenly, a crack opened in the belly shell of the imperial warship, and a hundred Jintai imperial mecha densely pounced on the Gu Zhong at high speed.

Seeing his subordinates turned to ashes in the silent space, Zhong Shouhu in front of the porthole squinted slightly, and then saw the next move of the imperial fleet, his eyes narrowed even more, and said in a cold voice: "Leave the ship to fight?" Your Majesty the Emperor, you really did whatever it took to kill me. ”

The Imperial Mecha that ventured to vacuum boarding the ship had not had time to touch the hull of the Ancient Bell, and many of them were destroyed by the dense near-field firepower of the Ancient Bell's watch, but the remaining Imperial Wolf Tooth Machine?" still approached without fear of death.

Zhong Shouhu's @ light fell on those mecha that were getting closer and closer, and found that the shape of these mecha was very peculiar, and the speed was obviously beyond the past, his gray eyebrows slowly raised, and he said to his subordinates: "Tell the Federation another not very good news, the new mecha of the empire has also been successfully developed."

In addition, they were reminded that "the Imperial people have the ability to go back through the space passage. "Because they are ready to capture me alive. "Finally, tell SL and Sirin that there is a mole among us. ”

The Empire's ghost fleet actually knew the electronic code of the Ancient Bell, and the other party was able to escape the brilliance of the Charter, and all kinds of details proved that there were some characters hidden in the darkness within the Federation, and even around him.

A mocking smile appeared on Zhong Shouhu's face at the thought of a loyal subordinate, not knowing whether he was laughing at the attempts of the Empire's enemies to try to capture him alive, or laughing at himself for being a hero, but he was in a desperate situation because of some spy or traitor.

At this time, the Imperial Mecha Group finally broke through the Ancient Bell's near-field firepower network, and like countless nails, it drove into the solid and thick alloy outer wall of the spaceship, and the inside of the spaceship clearly resounded with a heavy metal impact, and the officers and soldiers were pale, and they rushed over one after another, shouting loudly: "Protect the commander and his wife to leave." ”

However, what happened next proved Zhong Shouhu's previous judgment, the three major systems of the Gu Zhong have been strongly supported in the fierce battle, but there is a problem with the release system of the escape spacecraft.

It's okay to be with the fighters at the end.

Zhong Shouhu's face was expressionless, he took the hand of his wife next to him, bowed his head and said gently: "After graduating from the First Academy, in front of the public, I always walked in front of you, never held your hand, let alone hugged you, can you give me a chance to make up for it today?"

Mrs. Zhong calmed down a little at this time, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of her forehead, looked at him and smiled reluctantly, and said as easily as possible: "I will only give you this last chance." ”

Zhong Shouhu gently picked her up, as if he was holding the bride back then, and walked towards the machine that belonged to him not far behind him.
