Soon, Secretary-General Lydia issued an appointment notice to all member states: In view of the irreplaceable role played by Lieutenant General William Snet and Lieutenant General Li Jianfeng in the battle against the invasion of the Tiberians.
Now William Snett has been reappointed as the director-general of the United Nations Crisis Programme, and Li Jianfeng has been appointed as the chief of staff of the Supreme Military Executive Committee of the United Nations Crisis Programme.
The appointment is effective immediately.
At this moment, the two of them are still far away in two rebuilt nuclear bomb silo bases in the hinterland of the Victoria Desert. They are still more than 2,000 kilometers away from the command center. Even if they take the fastest space vehicle, including the time to go up and down the stairs, it will take 5 minutes. to arrive later.
But there is not much time left before the ultimatum takes effect.
The two quickly contacted the command hall through video connection and will come up with a response plan as soon as possible on the way.
Time passed by minute by second, and everyone in the command hall held their breath, their eyes never leaving Snet and Li Jianfeng on the big screen.
In a space vehicle flying to the command hall, the two people kept exchanging opinions. The atmosphere in the two places was extremely tense. One party was having a heated discussion, and the other party was waiting eagerly. On the surface, it seemed calm. Below, there are anxious faces.
There is no doubt that the final decision of the two men will be directly related to the fate of 25 aircraft carrier formations, 12 strategic nuclear submarine formations and 270,000 officers and soldiers, and even the ultimate fate of whether humans can continue to stay on the earth.
55 seconds before the ultimatum took effect, the two finally reached an agreement, but to everyone's surprise, the decision only contained two short words, that is, surrender!
Unconditionally surrender to Dark River Company.
As soon as the decision was announced, the entire command hall felt like a volcano that had been simmering for a long time completely erupted. Military representatives from various countries were filled with indignation and glared at each other, accusing the two of them of this spineless and cowardly behavior that ignored the safety of mankind.
The two people who originally had high hopes suddenly became the target of verbal criticism. They never dreamed that the two people who shouldered such a heavy responsibility would make such a hasty decision.
Ms. Lydia was helpless, Liu Hanyang was even more shocked, and even some of the military representatives who had supported them were almost shocked.
Such a hasty and irresponsible decision ruined not only the maritime force, but also the 12,000 nuclear bombs used by the earth to fight against the Tiberians.
What was even more destroyed was the military’s will to fight.
There were only the last ten seconds before the ultimatum took effect. Ms. Lydia's face turned pale and she looked sadly at Snet and Li Jianfeng, who had just entered the command hall.
After a moment, she turned her attention to the large surveillance screen, looking at the giant steel ship stretching for tens of kilometers on the sea, and then looked at the locust-like flying combat mech troops of the Dark River Company on the other screen.
In a few seconds, they will launch an attack on this maritime force, and what awaits them will be a massacre-style attack.
In desperation, Ms. Lydia sent a letter to Underwater Company accepting the ultimatum.
Just a few seconds later, the Crisis Planning Agency and its affiliated Supreme Military Executive Committee, authorized by her, jointly issued a collective notice to Dark River Company in the names of Snate and Li Jianfeng to 25 aircraft carrier formations and 12 strategic nuclear submarine formations. An order to surrender the entire flying mecha unit.
Soon, 12 strategic nuclear submarine formations floated to the surface, and they and 25 aircraft carrier formations collectively raised a white flag.
On the dim sea, 37 white flags

Like a sharp and dazzling sword, it deeply pierced the hearts of everyone in the command hall.
Their hearts are bleeding.
The atmosphere in the command hall was depressing and desolate, with sadness and despair flashing across everyone's faces, failure and worries about the future, like a lingering cloud hanging over the sky, weighing heavily...
Everyone knew in their hearts that what was lost was not only more than 500 ships and 270,000 well-trained naval officers and soldiers, but also 12,000 weapons that were enough to check and balance the Tiberians.
They account for one-fifth of the entire nuclear deterrent force of the people on earth, strictly speaking, they are 70% of the entire sea-based nuclear strike force!
With the space-based nuclear strike force completely lost, they and the road-based nuclear deterrent force together formed a balance of checks and balances against the Tiberians.
But the balance has tilted. Currently, road-based nuclear strike forces are being constructed intensively in the hinterlands of the Gibson Desert and the Victoria Desert.
The total number of nuclear bombs that can be put into actual combat is less than 9,000, and this also includes all the orbital delivery systems that can be put into use.
In other words, the loss of 12,000 nuclear bombs has caused the people of the earth to lose more than half of the nuclear deterrent force to counterbalance the Tiberians!
Once the Tiberians tear up the agreement and take the opportunity to launch attacks on the nuclear bomb launch silos and orbital delivery systems in the two desert areas, even if they only destroy half of the nuclear bomb launch systems, the people on earth will lose the prerequisites for checking and balancing the Tiberians.
After the attack, the people of the earth made a desperate move, risked the disapproval of the world, vowed to live and die with the earth, and unanimously passed a resolution to launch all nuclear bombs into high altitudes.
However, more than 4,000 nuclear bombs cannot form a numerical advantage. When intercepted by the Tiberian anti-missile system, only a handful of nuclear bombs can be successfully detonated, which is completely insufficient to turn the earth into a Death Star full of nuclear radiation and radioactive dust.
Of course, this kind of desperate counterattack, knowing that it is meaningless, is absolutely impossible to happen, and even if it happens, it will be in vain.
The surrender of this integrated maritime force will most likely determine the survival of human civilization.
Perhaps realizing the far-reaching impact and serious consequences of surrender, two aircraft carrier formations and three nuclear submarine formations in this maritime force mutinied.
They elected a wartime rescue formation with Deputy Commander-in-Chief Chen Yuanke as Commander-in-Chief. After breaking through the obstruction of the main fleet, they sailed towards the home port in Oceania at full speed...
The sudden change greatly shocked the mecha troops of Dark River Company who were preparing to surrender. They quickly detached part of their forces and tried to use force to prevent the escape of this wartime rescue formation.
At this moment, René, who was hundreds of kilometers away and was in the bunker command room, also received news of the mutiny by this part of the maritime force.
The mountain ghost held the emergency telegram sent by the mecha unit and looked at the fast-moving light spots on the sea with a gloomy expression.
"I have ordered the mecha troops to intercept them and, if necessary, destroy them!" Mountain Ghost said viciously.
Rene did not answer, but stared coldly at the high-speed wartime rescue formation on the big screen. Under the cold face was a slightly sinister face, and his eyes were cold but unfathomable.
"Mr. René, please give the order to attack as soon as possible!" Mountain Ghost urged.
Rene still didn't speak, and still had a slightly sinister face.
At this time, a communication screen suddenly lit up, and Li Jianfeng appeared on the screen.
"Mr. René, please do not attack the mutinous ships. I have ordered the main fleet to intercept them.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, I promise you, this mutiny will be resolved within 30 minutes! "Li Jianfeng said seriously.
"What about 30 minutes later?" Rene asked with a grin.
"After 30 minutes, I'll let you do whatever you want!"
"good!"
Li Jianfeng disappeared from the screen. Soon, René and Shangui discovered that the main fleet with the white flag flying divided into two columns, one on the left and one on the right, chasing the mutinous troops at high speed...
They seemed to want to attack them from both sides and force them to stop.
"I think this is Li Jianfeng's strategy. He wants to use this method to break out!" Shangui said worriedly.
"How far do you think they can run in 30 minutes?" René asked.
"It can't run very far, at most...50 nautical miles at most!"
"Then I'll give them another hour to see if they can return to their home port?"
Shangui looked at the big screen. According to the map, the Oceania naval base where this maritime force is located is still more than 500 nautical miles away from them.
After a moment, the mountain ghost withdrew his gaze. He looked at René quietly, as if he suddenly understood.
The two of them laughed ferociously at the same time...
Before the two of them could even close their mouths, the communication screen lit up again, and the supreme commander of the Tiberian interstellar colony fleet appeared on the screen.
"Now order your mecha troops to destroy that maritime force immediately!"
"Mr. Commander, please allow me to explain to you." Rene said with a little respect.
The commander nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Just now, Li Jianfeng, chief of staff of the Supreme Military Executive Committee of the Crisis Management Agency, called me and said that they will quell this mutiny within 30 minutes, otherwise, they will be left at our disposal."
"Aren't you worried that this is his tactic to delay the attack?"
"I was worried!" René blurted out, and he sneered and said, "I have already formulated corresponding countermeasures."
After he finished speaking, he switched the map on the big screen to a sea area, pointed at it and said: "This sea area is the only way for this ship unit to pass. Our mecha unit has dropped up to 50,000 autonomous missiles here. Once they refuse to surrender, these mines will attack them, and at the same time, the mecha troops will also launch an attack!"
"Great strategy! But is there any difference between attacking them now and attacking them 30 minutes later?"
"Of course there is a difference! If they choose to surrender, Dark River Company will have these ships, which can not only strengthen our maritime strength, but also remove a worry from your mind, Commander."
The worry that Rene was talking about was the 12,000 nuclear bombs that the Tiberians were worried about. It seems that they also realized the importance of these nuclear bombs to the people on earth.
The commander disappeared from the screen, apparently taking his advice.
It turned out that in the 30 minutes after René issued the ultimatum, in order to prevent accidents, he ordered a part of the mecha troops to lay a minefield about 100 nautical miles wide behind the ship troops.
These mines are different from floating mines, anchor mines and bottom-sinking mines. They are autonomous attack mines. They will initiate cluster operations of active search, active scanning and active attack at a distance of about 1,500 meters after the target approaches.
At this moment, the wartime rescue formation is in front and the pursuit fleet is behind, advancing towards the minefield at full speed.
In 30 minutes, they will enter the area where autonomous mines attack, which is also the time Li Jianfeng promised to resolve the mutiny.
