3. After 3 days, Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun drove the armed escort spacecraft and led the remaining space vehicles and mechas to the orbit of Mars. After that, they flew to the earth under the escort of the escort formation that had been waiting...
When the home they had been missing for decades and dreamed of finally appeared outside the porthole, the two of them stared for a long time, like staring at a loving mother they had not seen for many years. At this moment, the wandering heart returned to its hometown.
The two of them covered their faces and cried, both happy and emotional.
The earth is still so beautiful. The azure sphere is like an exquisite and clear jasper inlaid in the deep starry sky. The vast sea and emerald green land are shining under the sunlight and are extremely beautiful.
This is a planet that nurtures trillions of lives, and it is also a blessed land of life with a unique and impeccable natural environment.
The universe is so vast, spanning nearly eight light-years of time and space, that there is no planet like her. Although it has gone through hundreds of millions of years, it still stands proudly in the starry sky and writes the legend of life.
This is also one of the reasons why the voyage fleet returned.
But now, she no longer fully belongs to human beings. Human beings have been squeezed by the aggressive Tiberians to the western part of Oceania where the environment is worse and the space is more limited. Most of the places on the earth with more superior natural environment have been occupied by them. Occupied by force.
What's even more annoying is that even if they live in a corner, humans can only temporarily embrace the cherry blossoms.
According to a 30-year transition agreement reached between humans and the Tiberians more than 20 years ago, humans will completely lose the last inch of land on the earth in three years, lose the territory of Mars after more than 120 years, and become completely interstellar refugees.
The earth will always be the home in human memory.
"Hanyang, can we still take back our homeland?" Zhou Yun asked with tears in her eyes.
Liu Hanyang did not answer, but his eyes radiated a firm and decisive light.
After arriving in the Earth's high-altitude orbit, the armed escort spacecraft was immediately taken over, the autopilot program was started, and under the guidance of the escort formation, it landed at a space base in Oceania...
Fifteen minutes later, the armed escort spacecraft, the four space vehicles and three heavily equipped combat flying mechas that flew together landed one after another, setting foot on their homeland after more than 20 years of absence.
At this moment, Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun were unable to calm down, and their joy exceeded all expectations.
Just as the two were thinking about how to greet the people they greeted, a team of special operations soldiers led 12 heavily-equipped combat flying mechas and surrounded the landing platform.
Before the two of them understood what was happening, three of their own unsteady mechas were bombarded into pieces by the special forces and 12 mechas.
Immediately afterwards, the hatch of the armed escort spacecraft was forcibly opened, and special operations soldiers and mechas rushed into the flight control cabin like a tide. They pushed Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun to the ground roughly without mercy, and then treated them like animals. They were usually forcibly carried and dragged out of the cabin.
The two were taken away from the armed escort spacecraft, blindfolded and forced into an armed assault tank, and then drove away surrounded by several tanks...
During the bumpy journey, no matter how the two questioned the special operations soldiers, they remained silent.
It seemed that he had received some kind of instruction, but he seemed to be disdainful to answer.
More than two hours later, the two were thrown into two rooms far apart. With two "clang" sounds similar to iron fences, the two finally realized that they were imprisoned.
Liu Hanyang was roughly thrown into the room by two special operations soldiers. He bounced to the ground like a sardine entering the warehouse. When he took a breath, he realized that he was lying on the wet ground, and his thighs were not even covered. Into a puddle of water.
A chill penetrated his body, making him tremble all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He sat up with difficulty, reached out and pulled off the blindfold. After his eyes adjusted, he finally saw the environment he was in.
This was a cell of only 5 or 6 square meters, dark and damp. The only light source was the faint light cast by an iron-barred window above the stone wall behind him.
Water droplets as big as soybeans dripped from the top of the cell from time to time, making a "chirping" sound when they dripped on the cold ground, like the strange screams in the demonic realm.
The surrounding walls were stained with stains, and the palm-sized moss exuded a pungent musty smell. In front of him was a two-meter-wide iron fence, and the mottled rust indicated that it was very old.
He finally realized that he was thrown into a prison cell
He thought of Zhou Yun, they were brought in together.
He shook the iron fence frantically and shouted her name loudly, but no matter how hysterical he was, he never heard her voice, and no one came to stop or scold him.
This has been the case for two days in a row. No one came to deliver food or drink, and no one came to patrol.
Perhaps this place has been forgotten, perhaps it is a death row.
Manic, quiet... then into manic, then quiet again... and so on, his spirit was on the verge of collapse, and he almost collapsed after not drinking enough water for two days.
In the end, the desire to survive defeated the spiritual death. He lay on the ground and sucked the water like a greedy drunkard...
At this moment, the turbid water flowed straight to the stomach like delicious rain.
"Cough cough cough..." It wasn't until he choked on the water that he turned over and lay flat on Lin with satisfaction. Suddenly, his hand touched the pocket of his coat and felt something hard inside, and he hurriedly dug it out. , and found out it was a piece of chocolate!
He remembered that this piece of chocolate was given to him by Zhou Yun before the time and space transmission, and she also had the same piece.
They agreed that after returning to Earth, they would gather with each other at the beach and taste them while admiring the sunrise on Earth.
Hunger seemed to make every cell in his body open a "greedy" mouth, and he swallowed the piece of chocolate in a few seconds, so fast that he didn't even taste what it tasted like.
Gradually, his strength recovered somewhat. He stood up and staggered towards the iron fence. Looking left and right, he saw the deep passage, which was so empty that not even a moth could be seen.
"Hey, is there anyone?" he shouted with all his strength.
His voice seemed to fall into an endless abyss, and was soon swallowed up by darkness.
In despair, he turned around and leaned against the iron fence alone, his body slowly sliding down to the cold and wet ground. The moisture on the ground made him instinctively curl up into a ball.
Such a primitive way to withstand the cold very well.
Unknowingly, he fell into a deep sleep.
Suddenly, a sudden burst of noise woke him up. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a man in military uniform beating the iron fence with his hands...
Seeing that he was awake, the soldier stopped beating him and he stood up shakily.
His physical strength was approaching its limit.
"Are you Liu Hanyang, the technical commander-in-chief of the voyage fleet?" the soldier asked.
"Who are you..."
"Answer me first, yes or no?" the soldier said sharply.
"yes."
"I am George Legg, the arraignment officer of the Earth Federation Army's special military court. I am now formally prosecuting you on behalf of the Earth Federation Army!"
"Sue me!? Earth Federation Army?" Liu Hanyang said in shock.
He felt as if he had been hit by a stick with a missing head, and felt dizzy. He thought that he had gone through many twists and turns before returning to Earth, so how could he end up being prosecuted?
In addition, what kind of organization is the Earth Federation Army?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask why, the soldier in front of him named George Legg stretched out his hand to stop him, then put his other hand into the briefcase he carried with him and took out a piece of paper.
After slowly unfolding the paper, he glanced at Liu Hanyang with an indifferent look, and then said in a stern tone: "The Earth Federation Army's special military court has initially determined that Liu Hanyang, the former technical commander of the expedition fleet, is suspected of committing the crime of deserting the battle and refusing to fight. It is a crime of not executing the order, and you are now being questioned!"
"Escape from battle and refuse to carry out orders? What kind of organization are you? How can you convict people so easily?"
"The Earth Federation Army's Special Military Court is the highest judicial body within the Federation Army and has supreme judicial power over its internal military personnel." Legg replied forcefully.
"You didn't answer my question directly!" Liu Hanyang tugged hard on the iron fence and roared.
"I have already answered you." Legg said without changing his expression. He glanced at the iron fence that Liu Hanyang pulled and clanged, and then continued, "You are the former technical commander-in-chief of the Voyage Fleet, and the Voyage Fleet is under To the Earth Federation Army, your unauthorized return to Earth has violated the laws of the Federation Army, and you should be questioned by a special military court."
Liu Hanyang stopped pulling on the railing, and he understood. In the past 20 years of the voyage to deep space, humans established the Linqiu Federation, and the voyage fleet was also assigned to the federal army. But what he didn't understand was that the only remaining members of the voyage fleet were Three starships returned to Earth in a dilemma. How could they have violated federal laws?
Moreover, it was not his decision to return to Earth, but an order issued by Fleet Commander Snet. If he was guilty of fleeing in battle and refusing to carry out orders, what was Snate's responsibility?
"The purpose of returning to Earth is to save the lives of the remaining three starships and 300,000 interstellar officers and soldiers, and to preserve the last fire of the human armed forces in space!" Liu Hanyang said with bloody eyes.
There was no emotion on interrogator Legg's face, and his words seemed to have nothing to do with him.
"You can ask your defense lawyer and the judge if you have any questions. My duty is to interrogate you. Please cooperate with me."
Liu Hanyang nodded with a wry smile. Indeed, even if there were 10,000 reasons and grievances in his heart, it would be of no use. He had his tasks and responsibilities.
"Ask!" Liu Hanyang said with a long sigh.
Legg pressed lightly on his arm, and two beams of light were projected in front of his eyes. After the beams were unfolded, they formed a screen and keyboard. In addition, a camera stretched out from the top of the screen and was aimed at Liu Hanyang.
Legg typed on the keyboard and asked, "Are you involved in the return to Earth?"
Liu Hanyang felt funny in his heart, but he still nodded.
"Did it take the initiative? Or was it under coercion?"
"initiative."
Legg pressed his arm again, and the two beams of light disappeared, along with the screen, keyboard, and camera pointed at Liu Hanyang. After putting the piece of paper into his briefcase, he turned around and walked forward without saying a word. ..
"Hey, are you done?"
"It's over." Legge replied without looking back.
"Do you know how Zhou Yun is doing?"
"do not know!"
"A woman came in with me!"
"She is not under my control!"
Liu Hanyang felt sad in his heart. Zhou Yun's safety always concerned him, but he could not protect her, and he did not even know her current situation.
He must strive for all favorable factors to find out about her situation, and never give up even if there is a glimmer of hope!
He looked at Laig, and at this time, he had disappeared into the darkness.
"What happened to your defense lawyer just now?" Liu Hanyang asked loudly at the top of his lungs.
For a long time, there was no response in the dark passage.
He repeated it loudly, and finally Legg's words came from the darkness: "If you want to hire a lawyer, I can convey it to you."
"Please! I'll ask for two! Please ask for one for Zhou Yun too!"
