Hidden Yao Era

Captain Nelson could not agree with this crazy order, and he questioned Rear Admiral William: "The frigates we have brought this time are all ships with attack and output as their main combat function, they do not have great mobility and armor, and they will suffer heavy casualties if they are put in front, how can you let them die in vain? I beg you to take back the order from above!"

Rear Admiral William explained to himself: "This is an emergency, we are at a disadvantage in the number of our fleet! We need to keep the most precious cruisers and destroyers! Quickly command your cruisers to withdraw from the battle, and we will start to fold next! Target Levi 9 Space City!" Captain Nelson was even more furious: "This is burying the lives of soldiers! There are a lot of ...... on those hundred or so frigates

."

Rear Admiral William interrupted Captain Nelson impatiently: "You want to teach me how to fight? Do you still think your rank is Rear Admiral?Do you want to disobey the order again and let your rank be swept to the end?" "But ......" Nelson was just about to explain something, but Rear Admiral William interrupted him again rudely: "Listen, command your cruiser to withdraw from the battle, and then fold with us to the space city of Levy IX." I don't want to repeat it a third time!".

Nelson had no choice but to follow Major General William's orders. He glanced at the battle situation ahead, and 100 frigates rushed forward one after another, and the moths slammed into the sky like moths to the flames, turning into fleeting fires in the dark universe. The spectacle was spectacular and brutal, and Nelson could not bear to look at the sight of a thousand of them, and he contacted Casto and learned that he had returned safely to the ship.

Nelson then ordered: "Please return to your respective combat positions, we are about to withdraw from the battle, and then turn back to the space city of Levi IX." Casto was stunned by the sudden order, "Shall we be deserters?" Casto asked Nelson. "I just saw my friend blown to pieces by enemy torpedoes and missiles, and you told me to retreat at this time? I can't do it!" Casto was extremely emotional.

"This is an order from above, and I can only carry it out. Nelson masked his anger and anguish with a mechanical answer. But Casto did not notice his forbearance, and he still said emotionally: "No! I cannot accept this order!" "The duty of a soldier is to obey, and if you continue to make trouble like this, I will put you in confinement! or even send you to a court-martial!" Nelson threatened.

"I'm not going to be a coward, I'm going to fight these guys!" Casto was overwhelmed with anger. Nelson ignored Casto and coldly ordered, "Master Chief Peterson, put this stunned young man in confinement!".

Two soldiers framed Casto, who tried desperately to break free, but to no avail, was led into the confinement cell. Several more torpedoes and missiles hit the New Medici one after another, but they did not cause any serious damage. Soon the New Medici withdrew from the battle, and together with the remaining cruisers and destroyers, quickly crossed to the space city of Levy IX.

In the confinement cell, Casto pounded the walls in a rage and pain, and at the same time, memories of his childhood and Curtis flooded back. The simple, optimistic, energetic teenager of his childhood and the painful and distorted face he had just seen flashed repeatedly in Casto's mind, and the huge conflict between reality and memory made him unable to accept that it was the same person. This caused his emotions to turn from anger to grief, and the memories of his childhood poured out of his mind like a clear spring.

He was reminded of the scene when Curtis rushed into the river as a child to rescue himself from drowning, and that brave, lovable, and innocent teenager was now a pile of unsightly human remains. Instead of healing the trauma just now, the simple and beautiful memories were in great contrast with the experience he had just experienced, almost tearing his brain apart. His emotions desperately need to find an outlet to vent. "Kill all the Pluto wanderers!" he silently vows to avenge his friend.

With dozens of flashes of white light, more than a dozen Io-class cruisers and dozens of destroyers safely crossed to the outer star field of Levi's Ninth Space City, and they showed the fleet icon and information to the fleet stationed in the Space City, and after confirming their identities, they entered the starport in an orderly manner. The battleship sailed quietly into the harbor, but Captain Nelson was not at peace, he was as angry as Casto. The last thing he could see was that a soldier would die in vain by the stupid orders of his commander. He couldn't comprehend Major General William's inexplicable order, which in the primeval times was tantamount to sending archers forward to fight the enemy hoplites. But what made him even more unbelievable was that the commanders of the frigates resolutely carried out this order, and all rushed to the enemy ships, and all of them were killed, and not a single frigate turned back with them.

As Nelson pondered, Master Chief Peterson came over to report to him. After listening to his debriefing, Nelson asked Master Chief Peterson, "Imagine, Master Peterson, if you were the commander of an infantry battalion and I gave you the order to lead your infantry unit to fight the enemy's 100 hoplite tanks head-on, would you carry out this order yourself without question?"

Master Peterson replied, "Haha, I wouldn't be so stupid, I'll ostensibly carry out this order and then go around behind the tank units on the frontal battlefield to sneak up on the enemy troops." Colonel Nelson nodded: "Yes, I will also choose some workarounds, it is impossible to resolutely carry out such a stupid order, but the stupidity of the order of the former Major General William is even far greater than the order I just assumed with you." But the frigate commanders, instead of making any changes, resolutely carried out this crazy order. "

"If it weren't for their stupidity, you would still be a major general, maybe even promoted to lieutenant general, and now you and I wouldn't be on this cruiser, maybe we would continue to fight the Pluto rover on Titan, you would command an army group, and I might be the commander of your elite troops. "Master Peterson was starting to get excited.

Nelson interrupted Master Chief Peterson, "Okay, the past, let's not mention him." It is not unusual that there are many more people like Major General William. I just wonder why the commanders on the frigates carried out this order, many of them were high-ranking officers who had been in battle. There were some who were previously commanders of destroyers and even cruisers. Master Peterson sighed, "Well, maybe they're doing that 'ceremony' again." Just like we were on Titan then. Are you going to question Major General Wilhelm to his face?".

Colonel Nelson said helplessly: "It will not be useful to question him face to face, I will explain his command mistakes in the combat report, and hope that the commander will deal with him fairly." However, I do not hope much, for Major General William's family and his wife's family have a complicated social relationship between the Firefighters and Jupiter Industries, and the Lieutenant General will probably shield him. All I can do is let some people understand that the soldiers on those 100 frigates, they should not die in vain. "

"Hmph, these shameless bastards, the most precious resources and the most powerful armament of the solar system, are actually in the hands of such a group of people. Master Peterson said indignantly. Nelson still said helplessly: "Don't worry about these things, didn't we care too much about these things before we got to where we are now? "It's hard for Master Chief Peterson to continue to say anything.

"Oh, by the way, let that kid named Casto out. Nelson said to Master Chief Peterson. "So soon, I thought you'd have to lock him up for two or three days. Master Peterson said with some surprise. Nelson reaffirmed his order: "Well, let it out, I feel the shadow of Alyosha in him, the simplicity and aristocracy of an idealist. When the battle report is summarized for a while, if he is not present, it will always cause him some trouble. "After confirming Nelson's order, Master Chief Peterson went to the confinement chamber to prepare to release Castor.

In the dark confinement room, Castor's mood calmed down somewhat, but Curtis's pained, distorted expression still lingered in his mind. Suddenly a bright light entered the dark confinement chamber, and Master Chief Peterson opened the door and led Castor out of the confinement chamber and said to him, "You can come out, and I am sorry for the death of your friend." "Thank you, I grew up with a partner and I can't even imagine mentioning his death to his mother," Casto said. "

Master Captain Peterson sighed and said, "This is war, and everything you used to take for granted or regarded as treasures will be destroyed in an instant. Castor said angrily, "I want revenge, kill all the Pluto wanderers, kill all their soldiers, and expel their forces from the solar system!" "I know that the first time to experience such a life-and-death parting is very shocking. After going through too much death, you will gradually get used to it. "Master Peterson knew that he was carried away by anger and grief at this time, and could only say a little about his own experience.

"No, it's hard, he's such an optimistic person, and in an instant he becomes a broken corpse. Casto still couldn't let go of the brutal scene he had just experienced.

"You have no idea what a truly tragic war looks like!" Master Chief Peterson's words startled Castor, who was ashamed of his fragile heart and curious about what Master Chief had experienced.
