At the Federal Joint Staff Headquarters, an old man was sitting at his desk, staring at a report in front of him. He frowned, pressed a button on his desk, and said, "Find the real reason why Hathaway is taking a vacation."
While the secretary was working on it, the old man rubbed his face and looked a little tired. Then he opened the star map and looked at the schematic diagram of the front lines of the Federation and the Dynasty. Hathaway was the most outstanding general in the entire federation in the past six months. He was about to nominate Hathaway for promotion to general. Unexpectedly, at this time, Hathaway suddenly asked for a leave of absence, which lasted for two months.
The current war with the dynasty is not optimistic. The Federation seems to be fighting smoothly, but in fact the strings have been stretched to the tightest. The current situation within the Federation is even worse than that of the dynasty. There is a comprehensive shortage of all kinds of materials, the currency system is almost collapsed, all transport ships have been mobilized to the front line, and many star fields in the rear are actually isolated from the outside world. The Federation is already in its fifth round of recruiting, and many sailors are sent to the front line after only one month of training. Today's starships are different from the aircraft carriers of the home star era, and the requirements for crew members are much higher than that. It is impossible for so many unqualified crew members to board the ship without affecting its combat effectiveness.
It was at this time that Xu Bingyan's impact on the federal attack truly became apparent. A quarter of the Federation's entire economy was wiped out, one-third of its industry was wiped out, and half of its starship industry was completely wiped out. The Federation is like a seriously injured patient whose wounds are still bleeding and has to fight for the second battle.
On the surface, the situation in the Federation seems to be slightly better than that of the Dynasty, but the old man knows that it is because the patriotic enthusiasm of many Federation citizens has not receded after the Recruitment Campaign. Many people brought their own fighter planes and starships to participate in the war. Many local cities and communities People spontaneously organized themselves to exchange what they had, and this kept prices from collapsing. However, people's food reserves are limited, and supplies are also limited. If the dynasty cannot be solved before people's food reserves are exhausted, I am afraid that a rationing system will really be implemented.
Can Dynasty be solved?
This is a headache for the elderly. It turns out that the dynasty has reached its last moment, and the few remaining fleets are struggling to support the defense line that is leaking from all sides. Some people in the upper echelons of the dynasty and within the fleet began to secretly contact the Federation to inquire about the terms of surrender. As long as we persist for a few more months and annihilate those fleets in the dynasty fleet that are determined to take the lead in the battle, we can force the dynasty to surrender unconditionally, thereby dismembering the largest force in human history. As a result, Lightyear was born. He first designed a strange battleship like the Frostwolf class, and then built it at an incredible speed. The two Frostwolf class ships continued the life of the dynasty for several months. Then Lightyear went off on his own, defeating the Community and the Federation and losing their troops. In recent battles, he even wiped out three of the Community's main fleets, turning a quick victory into a protracted war. Although Lightyear himself suffered heavy losses, the question is where did so many of their starships, especially the capital ships, come from?
Although the Community and the Federation still have advantages, they are no longer able to win quickly. Once a behemoth like the Dynasty is mobilized, its war potential is unimaginable. Now the number of capital ships under construction in the dynasty alone exceeds that of the Federation and the Community combined. During this critical period, every outstanding general is an indispensable asset, especially Hathaway, who not only has an excellent record, but also has a huge popularity base. As long as she appears on the front line, it will be a huge blessing to the morale of the soldiers and the people.
At this time, Hathaway is going to take a vacation?
At this time, the secretary had completed the inquiry and walked into the office to whisper a few words to the old man. The old man looked stunned, and after a moment of silence he asked, "Are you sure who it is?"
"It's just a guess, but the probability is very high."
The old man rubbed his face, sighed, and said, "After the child is born, secretly collect a copy of the gene."
"yes."
"Oh, by the way, don't let her know."
"clear."
The old man looked at the star map for a while, then pressed a red button to connect to a special communication channel. After the call was connected, he said directly, "I need you," without waiting for the person on the other end to speak.
Austin's business sounded across the channel: "Not available."
"I not only need you, but also Crassus, and your personal army and fleet."
"That's impossible." Austin flatly refused.
"You know, the Federation can recruit. And this time, I don't plan to accommodate you anymore."
"You can take the fleet, but not the people. I need everyone here."
The old man was silent for a few minutes before saying: "If this is the case, then I regret to inform you that soon all your departments will be abolished and personnel will be reassigned to other departments. Departments that are privately owned will be Imposition of imposition and employees converted into federal employees.”
"What you do is against the law!"
"I will change the law and enable fast-track procedures, which will not take much time."
Austin's voice had some anger: "Why?"
"To win this war, I must gather the best people and all the resources I can muster. If this continues, we may lose this war."
"Without the Federation, humans will still be humans. But once the real dream confirms my suspicion, it will be a crisis for the entire human race!"
The old man sighed: "I can't think that far ahead. Without the Federation, what else will humans do?"
Austin said slowly: "I have nothing to say, but I will do my best to stop you in the parliament."
"We don't only have one enemy in Real Dream, there is another one over the light years." The old man suddenly said.
This time Austin was silent, and then asked: "What do you know?"
"No, the powers you brought back from real dreams are nothing at all. I don't care about that. But Light Years, I suspect that they have cracked the curse of artificial intelligence."
"Where's the evidence?"
"We found a strange biomass residue from the wreckage of the Lightyear Starship, but the ingredients are all degraded proteins, and nothing can be analyzed for the time being. Apart from this biomass, there are almost no humans in their starship."
"Didn't I say that Lightyear has been researching biochips before? The community directly uses human brains to modify them into chips. Could it be that Lightyear has obtained the technology of the community?"
"Those lunatics in the community will go to hell sooner or later!" Disgust flashed across the old man's face, and he said, "Don't you have a good relationship with Dr. Zero? You can ask him what's going on in Light Years."
"He won't tell me. He's a great power chauvinist just like you."
The old man smiled and said, "This is unexpected good news."
"When do you plan to end the war?" Austin asked.
"The Parliament has already made a resolution. The unconditional surrender of the dynasty can end the war."
"Even the law can be changed, and the resolution of the parliament is binding on you?" Austin mocked.
"This is not my decision, nor is it the decision of any members, this is the decision of the citizens. If I overturn this resolution today, the people can re-elect the parliament tomorrow and oust me, and the result will be the same."
Austin was silent, then said, "But now is the best time to end the war."
"I know, but I can't."
