A few photos, an impromptu meeting, and a crazy, neurotic rebellious deputy commander became the trigger of the incident, instantly disrupting everyone's trajectory. ? happy? arts? novel www..com
The war broke out in an unprepared manner——
At this moment, neither side of the war is fully prepared——
Although the Reapers have assembled a large number of fleets, they are still arguing about issues such as "how to fight?" and "who is the main target?" The three planet-level "crab" fortresses have not yet completed the transformation work. So when the Star Alliance rebels sent back the signal "We have begun the rebellion", the Reapers were quite speechless...
Then they had to send fleets in batches to the Arcturus Galaxy - there was only this chance to completely wipe out the top leaders of the Star Alliance, and the Reapers had to seize it. It stands to reason that the Reapers have formed a de facto "fueling tactic". If it were any "big shot" in the military version, they could be taken down by commanding with their feet! But the essence of winning the "adding fuel tactic" is to "concentrate superior forces and annihilate them one by one." If the opponent's every wave exceeds the total combat power of the Star Alliance military, it will become a killer move of "forcing them to retreat and pursuing them in waves." …
In Star Alliance, first of all, thanks to the years-long brainwashing work of "The History of the Planet", Lu Yuan completely completed the science popularization work while taking away a large number of star elements. Ordinary people across the galaxy generally have enough knowledge about the Reapers. know.
This familiarity can not only calm the panic of being invaded by the Reapers to some extent, but will even bring "great surprises" to the Reapers in the future! This is the first time in 50 million years. The civilizations of the Milky Way did not start the war under a "sneak attack" situation, although the gap in strength is still huge. But if you include the 50 trillion population of the Milky Way civilization... the gap may not be that big!
At the top level of Star Alliance. Some people firmly believe that the Reapers will invade. For example, General Hackett, Shepard, David Anderson, "Illusive Man", etc.; some people are doubtful, but they choose to be prepared, such as Lieutenant General Yang of the Seventh Fleet... and the retired Captain Drescher. Will. If he's not a villain, he's always a villain. The old man has been fighting aliens all his life. In his eyes, aliens are always a threat! Whether it’s the ones that look like shrimp crawlers (Reapers) or the ones that look like mantises (Turians); there are also some people who don’t believe it, such as the politicians in the Council. We can never wake up people who are pretending to sleep...
It's a pity that the great era is about to change. Master Lu is still sleeping beautifully.

Li Huamei summoned Annie and a group of tough men, but after a simple hug, she left the task of cleaning up the Arcturus space station to Annie and returned to her flagship "Kunlun" alone.
Although there is no support from any intelligence source, the information she and Annie brought unanimously concluded that it is highly likely that the Reapers will launch an attack immediately! Therefore, Li Huamei must seize every moment to activate her flagship, and then lead the space station escort fleet to block the "triangular area" of the Arcturus galaxy (the area where the main relay, civil waterways and cruise lines intersect!) to block the first wave of the Reaper fleet. attack.
"Call 'Hangzhou', 'Shanghai', 'Budapest', 'Istanbul', this is Li Huamei! I order to gather in B4 airspace immediately!" When Li Huamei entered the Logistics Department as deputy director. Her squadron was also temporarily separated from the Second Fleet and incorporated into the Arcturus Space Station Guard Fleet - everything was traditional. In fact, the squadron was still under the command of Li Huamei.
After receiving the order, the four new and old cruisers broke away from the formation of the escort fleet. Head towards the triangle area. They all belong to the direct lineage of Li Huamei, but if you list the main officers on these four battleships, you will find an interesting phenomenon - this seems to be almost the "Tofan Encounter" (Lieutenant General Yang's attack on the pirate base) A replica of that battle!
In addition to Shepard who was soaring on the battlefield at that time, Muyu (the hero of Skilian Raid), Zhang Tan (the inquisitor of Li Huamei back then, Lin Zhuxue (Annie’s captain), Leona (the terminator of the battleship "Kashan") Serving as the captains of four cruisers respectively, these famous battle heroes of the year actually appeared in Li Huamei's small squadron!
Although these guys, except Leona, are all "thorns" in their respective troops. But he is also a hot new star in the Navy. You know, wars in peacetime are more precious. The actual combat experience provided by a "first contact battle" that year contributed to the Star Alliance's talent pool that supports a huge navy. The fleet of "Tovan Encounter" was larger, and the participating generals were all carefully selected elites. Some even said that the Star Alliance Navy would be worry-free for the next fifty years.
It can be seen that Old Man Hackett has made many small moves in private over the years to gather so many "unsuitable" guys under Li Huamei's command...
Li Huamei's voice echoed on the empty bridge, but neat "aye aye" sounds came from her intercom. The reason why it looks empty is because the manning on her flagship is pitifully small-only 12 people-this number of people can't even maintain an ordinary cruiser, let alone a 1.26 kilometers long battleship. .
Many people thought that Li Huamei just hadn't started selecting crew members yet, but they didn't expect that Li Huamei didn't want so many people from the beginning... She sat on the command seat and placed her left upper arm against the armrest of the chair. In the grooves of honeycomb holes. Countless blue transparent tentacles protruded from her "Wizard" Type 10 multi-purpose tool and were inserted into the armrest.
On Li Huamei's retina, holographic images were flashing rapidly.
After a moment, the entire "Kunlun" battleship shook violently and left the dock!

"General..." After releasing Shepard, the tiger, Hackett and Annie rushed back to the space station. By this time, the work of clearing out the rebels was nearly complete. More soldiers will be organized, a new headquarters will be established, and then there will be the evacuation of the Arcturus space station... There will also be a gradual retreat of the fleet and arrangements for layer upon layer blocking, etc.
The work ahead is endless! Hackett frowned the whole way. He didn't even look at the road. He was just walking by habit. His thoughts had completely turned to this aspect. But at this moment, Annie called him from behind.
"What's the matter?" Hackett turned around and asked seriously.
"Ayuan... no, it's someone!" Annie took out two electronic boards in a slight panic and handed them in the direction of General Hackett. "Do you want to take a look at the two lists someone made?" After taking out the electronic board, she stared at the general's face without blinking, trying to figure out something. However, Hackett kept a straight face and showed no expression at all.
On the electronic board, you can see that all the names are written on it - but there are only a few dozen on one of them, while the other one is filled with several pages!
This is a small corridor leading to the dock, one of the countless remote corridors in the Arcturus space station. There are no people or any cameras... In other words, no one knows what is happening here! Hackett's eyes were fixed on the two lists in front of him. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to cut into pieces the annoying characters on them!
Hackett put his hands behind his back and remained silent. The atmosphere gradually became tense, and even the temperature in the corridor seemed to begin to drop.
Anne held her breath and waited... for one minute... for five minutes... when she saw sweat on her forehead and moved her hand slightly, trying to take back the list. Hackett finally moved. He tapped lightly on the short list with his thin fingers, then turned around and left the corridor alone without looking back.
Watching General Hackett leave, Anne breathed a sigh of relief and broke into a cold sweat. The job was harder than she imagined, and Anne hated having to do it. You know, in the past, she played the role of a frontline commander who charged into battle most of the time, and she was a powerful chess piece under Lu Yuan. As for Arturia, who he assisted back then, he was a second-rate person... No, he was a foodie with zero political acumen.
Now that the general has made a decision, and before Annie came, Zhao Min also clearly told her that the list came from Lu Yuan's opinion... Annie finally gritted her teeth and scratched out the short electronic board on the multi-purpose tool. one time. After crossing over, all the names on the list turned red, with a shocking blood-red mark on the back - "The Indoctrinated"!
After a while, sporadic gunshots were heard again in the huge space station - another group of people who had been "educated" by the Reapers were identified and killed directly! Among them were congressmen, senior officials, and some "famous scholars"... But the people who were shocked by the horrific news of the "Reaper Invasion" did not pay greater attention to it. What they are more concerned about is whether the fleet can stop the Reapers and whether the space station has enough ships to ensure that all personnel are evacuated!
As for the people who were "civilized" by the Reapers, they had seen almost all of them - those people who were their colleagues an hour ago, turned into fanatical religious elements in the blink of an eye! He opened fire on his former colleagues and refused to acknowledge them. This kind of betrayal and ruthlessness is simply chilling! Therefore, instead of resisting the use of slightly harsher methods to purge "educational personnel", they applauded loudly.
Many people say that this is the beginning of the "Hackett Military Government"! It’s a regression of thousands of years of civilization!
But historians will notice that the second group of people who died were almost all those who "do not recognize reality", that is to say - those who specifically held back the war against the Reapers before it began! However, these people all have some power and influence, causing great damage to war preparations. They bear unshirkable responsibility for the heavy casualties caused to the Star Alliance in the early stages of the Reaper invasion!
...Oh, let's put it this way, they are actually quite like "civilized people".
Well, this dark history is no problem! (To be continued. (.com))
