Numbers don't lie.
There may be different interpretations of the same numbers, but that is a human problem, not a mistake in the numbers themselves.
The rows of cold numbers on the battle report make most people feel deep pressure. No matter how many bright spots they find in it, it will be useless. Even if Lin Xi fought several classic battles, no matter how good a frigate was, it would not be helpful to the battle.
In the war zone, the number of confirmed federal force starships has reached twice that of the dynasty. The Ninth Fleet is an elite fleet, and the Federation is not bad either. The two sides are almost the same in terms of technological level and single-ship combat effectiveness. At this time, numerical advantage becomes extremely important.
According to common sense, Lin Xi also knew that it was difficult to support the prosperous Tang Dynasty under such circumstances, and one could not expect everyone to be able to fight the magic. In fact, the level of the generals of the Federation is not bad. The two sides have maintained a 1:1 battle loss so far. Shengtang has already performed beyond its level.
After a moment of solemn silence, Lin Xi asked, "Is this what you came to me to talk about?"
Lu Queyun smiled helplessly and said: "If you don't say this, what else can you do? I originally wanted to hear your opinion on the battle situation, but the current situation cannot be reversed even by gods. I arranged a high-speed star Once the war situation becomes irreversible, you will take this starship to return to the Dynasty. There are not many ships in the Federation that can catch up with this starship."
"I won't run away!" Lin Xi said resolutely.
Lu Queyun said seriously: "This is not an escape, but a retreat, and this is an order! Not only are you on the starship, there will also be several other young talents. You are still young and have a great future. You cannot die at this time. On the battlefield.”
Lin Xi said: "How are the candidates chosen?"
Lu Queyun said: "There was such a list a long time ago, and it is all the talents who should be protected first when the war situation is unfavorable."
Lin Xi's lips moved, but she didn't ask further. Even if she asked, she couldn't get the result.
After a while, she left Lu Queyun's office, and there was an additional permission in her personal terminal, which allowed her to board the escape ship during the last window.
Lin Xi did not refuse.
When the lieutenant general transferred authority, Lin Xi once had a brief but fierce struggle. Deep down, she didn't want to accept such a gift at all. It was no different from abandoning the troops and running away. The process of generating the list must not be too scrutinized, so no one will admit that such a list exists.
However, in this war zone, the dynasty's defeat was a matter of time. The war situation is unfavorable, but reinforcements are delayed. Although Lin Xuan Shang will return to the Ninth Fleet soon, no matter who comes, it is impossible to win such a battle. But even Lu Queyun didn't know why the reinforcements didn't come, and it was even less likely for Lin Xi to know.
Once the dynasty fleet retreats, Chu Jungui on Planet 4 will have no way out. Although it would be difficult for the Federation to find or even eliminate Chu Jungui on the huge Planet 4, in the end it was just a matter of time. Lin Xi didn't know how long Chu Jungui could last. She only knew that if she died in the battle, then Chu Jungui would be completely forgotten, and no one in the entire dynasty would remember him, let alone rescue him.
She seemed to have no choice between sacrifice and survival.
The frigate was being repaired, so the lieutenant general assigned Lin Xi a dormitory in the base. The flying car traveled inside the base and stopped at the dormitory area after a while. As soon as the car door was opened, noisy sound waves hit the face.
The docking area of the officers' quarters was a mess, with a large number of speeding cars coming in and out, sometimes almost causing a collision. Many of the officers who got off the flying car had injuries all over their bodies, and they were all cursing. Some simply grabbed a wine bottle and took a sip if they had nothing to do.
Several gendarmes came over, intending to stop the excessive noise, but just as they tried to snatch the bottle from an officer's hand, the officer suddenly smashed the bottle into the gendarme's face!
With a bang, the wine bottle shattered and fragments flew. Even though the military policeman was wearing a helmet, he was knocked dizzy and fell to the ground. Naturally, the surrounding military police would not give up and swarmed him. The officer ignored the warning and fought back. He was really brave. In the blink of an eye, he knocked all the military policemen to the ground.
An alarm sounded in the docking area, and a large number of gendarmes poured out of the passage. Some of the gendarmes raised their guns, forcing the surrounding officers to retreat, while the rest rushed towards the drunken officers. The officer was drunk after all, and he was subdued and pinned to the ground in a blink of an eye.
A military policeman took out a special instrument and directly seized control of the officer's armor.
The officer still did not intend to give in. Even though his face was pressed firmly to the ground, he still kept roaring: "I am a colonel, colonel! Every victory is achieved by me myself! What happened to me when I drank some wine? I was so loud What happened to these?! Of my 11 best brothers in this battle, only three came back! What's the matter, I'm working hard on the front line, and you have to look at the faces of your grandsons when they come back? If you have the ability, go to the front line, What's the point of being a military policeman sitting here? I really want to see what kind of morality you can show in this kind of one-on-two, one-on-three battle!"
The military police were all a little embarrassed, and they couldn't help but loosen their grip on the colonel. The military police officer made a gesture, and a military policeman turned on the external mute of the colonel's armor, and the colonel's curses were interrupted.
The military police officer looked at the growing crowd around him and said with a wry smile: "The colonel drank too much and needs to be quiet for a while. I think one day is enough for him to sober up."
This actually meant a day of confinement, which was so minor that it could be ignored compared to what he had done by beating up the military police. The onlookers were satisfied and asked the military police to take the colonel away.
Lin Xi watched the whole process silently, feeling even heavier. Even the Ninth Fleet, which has always been known for its tenacious fighting spirit, is beginning to have morale problems, which shows the seriousness of the war situation.
She returned to the dormitory, verified her identity and pushed the door open.
There are only two rooms in the dormitory, the inner and outer rooms, and half of the outer room is taken up by the armor changing room. The actual area is quite cramped. This is not a lieutenant colonel's dormitory, but a major's standard. However, a large number of injured officers could be seen in the docking area returning to the base to recuperate. It seems that the dormitory is already very tight.
Lin Xi didn't care much about the external treatment. She put down her luggage, sat in front of the office desk, connected to the base mastermind, and started checking the latest battle reports. She needed to know how bad the current situation was and what caused it.
The star map emerges on the workbench, becoming more and more detailed as data is loaded.
As the latest intelligence was uploaded one by one, Lin Xi discovered that the only supply route to the war zone had to pass through the Kaimen System. The Kaimen Galaxy is the traditional territory of the Xu family.
