In the clear sky of Sidon, the capital of the Binarte Empire, there was a muffled roar of thunder.As soon as the bustling people in the streets looked up, they saw three iron-gray military transport ships, escorted by twenty warplanes, passing over the city, getting lower and lower, and gradually falling towards the military airfield east of Sidon.Unlike the regular Binarte military ships, these ships look more advanced, with a wolf head emblem surrounded by stars painted under the wings of the ship's ships and fighters.Night Army!
Everyone who saw the sign was excited.Their eyes lit up, pointing to the sky, and some of them were excited, and they cheered with joy.You must know that even in the capital, the number of night troops is very small and shrouded in various legends and mysteries, and it is not easy to see.With a roar, the spaceship fell far behind the city-lined space city and disappeared.Twenty escort fighters did not land with them.They pulled up the nose of the plane in a dashing manner, shot up into the sky like a neat rain of arrows, rolled in the clouds, turned and roared over the city, and flew to the west.The beautiful movements of the fighter plane caused a burst of cheers.Many people took off their hats and waved them at the sky."
See?
That is Admiral Sober's night army," a man of about thirty years of age pointed to the sky, and said to his son on his shoulder in a proud and excited tone: "The greatest army of the Empire!
”The little boy who rode on him was no more than three or four years old.Although it is far from the moment when we can understand the meaning of war.But he was just as excited as his father.Holding his father's head in one hand and pointing to the sky with the other, he kept repeating the name of the Night Army cheerfully, drawing a burst of laughter from his mother beside him.In a fruit shop on the side of the road, the fat and red-faced shopkeeper sang the song "Empire Advances" with several old men in their forties and fifties who were passing by and chatting.The singing is sonorous and powerful, with a certain frenzied flavor.People who have lived up and down have joined in or smiled and waved to them, which makes the old men even more energetic.They sang loudly, holding their chests high and looking forward to themselves.While singing, he also waved his fist from time to time, making a powerful gesture of smashing hard.A little boy of about ten years old ran through the crowd holding an imperial flag aloft."
Long live the Empire!"
He screamed and shouted, scurrying like a fish through the gaps of adults.As if a horn was heard, many children suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and ran after the boy for a while."
Long live the Empire."
A taxi hovered on the side of the road and stopped, lowering its altitude.The driver jumped out of the car, took out the luggage in the trunk, handed it to a captain in military uniform, and when he took the money and prepared to leave, he did not forget to enthusiastically add a sentence at the back.The captain who returned home had a reserved and serious expression, slightly triumphant.A beautiful young girl took his arm around him, dressed in the most fashionable clothes of the moment, and raised her chin slightly, like a pampered little hen, following the prettiest big rooster, even if she greeted the neighbor acquaintances, her face could not hide her pride."
Captain Dawson!"
A middle-aged man called the captain's name: "I heard that the front line has won another battle?"
”"Oh!
My Uncle John," the girl with the captain in her arms cried exaggeratedly, "you have to think about it, when are we not winning?"
”Hahahaha, the crowd around laughed merrily.The middle-aged man didn't think he was angry, laughed, and said to the girl: "It was reported in the news just now that Fimeng has now put down his face and pulled back Li Fo who swept the floor.Just today, Liver's fleet has arrived in the Trevlan system to join us in the fight. ”"Then let's be careful!"
The fat shopkeeper in the fruit shop interjected loudly from afar: "Just be careful." ”The innkeeper's teasing aroused even greater joy, and even the captain could not help laughing."
I'm telling the truth," the fat shopkeeper continued to shout, "Hastings doesn't work, what can Li Fo do, with our General Sober, be careful, it's enough to give them face." ”The laughter was even louder, and some shouted: "Long live General Sober, long live the night army!"
”The sound spread until the mountains roared into a tsunami.People cheered.No one felt that there was anything wrong with this highly excitable emotion.It seems that everyone is used to this kind of talk.Celebrate the victory, celebrate the victory.Every day, I fell asleep to the fluttering military flags on the TV news screens, the neat footsteps of sailing warships and army mechs, and woke up to the excited news of the host.Victory, victory after victory!
Hoarse marches and cheers, war rallies large and small, this is all they have lived for the past two years.In the eyes of all the Binaltes, as long as the white wolf in the center surrounded by stars in the sky, and staring ahead with its fierce eyes half-squinted, Binalt's victory must not be far away.All you need to do is wait for the news of the victory and cheer and celebrate at the rally!
………… West District, Monarch's Landing Hill.The White Boulder Palace of Binarte resembles a snow-capped castle, with tall towers and pointed roofs that rise straight upwards, and intricate carvings and sculptures large and small can be found in every eaves, pillars and doorways.Standing on the top of a lush green mountain, it is even more majestic and gorgeous.It was a symbol of imperial power in the Binarte Empire.Powerful, high above, looking down on the world, inaccessible, unprofane, and invincible.For hundreds of years, generations of subjects bowed to their emperors, and generations of Binartes stood in the streets of Dusiddon, looking to the west.They admired the beauty of the palace and thanked the monarch for his benevolence, or trembled at his wrath and prayed for his forgiveness.On the wide and flat tower, Wilhelm III held the arrow battlement and looked to the east.The burly and majestic figure is just like the dozens of majestic sculptures of the emperors of the past dynasties behind him!"
Adam."
William III withdrew his gaze from the slowly descending Night Force, called the name of Secretary of State for Defence John Maynard Keynes, and asked, "It's March 10th, isn't it?"
”"Yes, Your Majesty."
Defense Secretary John Maynard Keynes replied.At the age of 75 this year, Keynes is already a veteran of the three dynasties.Although the Minister of Defense looked more like an old pedant from the outside, everyone knew that his power and prestige in the Binarte Empire were unmatched except for Emperor William and the first man in the military, Sober.The reason for this is that in addition to his high position for many years and his protégés all over Biinart, more importantly, William was still one of the many princes, and Keynes was already their follower when Sober was still in the grassroots army.Yes, it's following, not just leading and supporting.It is hard to imagine what kind of psychology Keynes, who was already a great minister, made such a decision at that time.No one can figure it out.Therefore, there was only one Keynes.For forty years, there was only one Minister of Defense in the Binarte Empire.Even thirty years ago, after the First World War of the Empire, the Republic of Fiyan was handed over to the throne of a first-class power, and hundreds of people were imprisoned for their crimes, Keynes stood tall."
Time flies so slowly."
William III said to himself, "At this time, he has just arrived in the A3 galaxy, right?"
”"That's how you feel, Your Majesty.For me, time flies. ”The thin figure of Defense Secretary John Maynard Keynes, behind William III, resembles a ghost: "In my memory, the scene when we drank tea together more than 20 years ago and talked about the overall situation of the world was as if it were yesterday. ”Was it the one on your estate?
”William III smiled slightly, "I remember that it was on that day that you and Sober swore allegiance to me, right?"
”"Yes, Your Majesty."
Keynes said respectfully: "I have always been glad I made the choice. ”"It should be me who rejoices," William III turned and looked at Keynes, "If it weren't for that day, I wouldn't have received your and Sober's allegiance, and today, I wouldn't be standing here, full of confidence and hope, waiting for the final victory of the Empire!"
”"I still remember the day we sat on the lawn of your estate, and you and Sauber asserted that there would be a war between the Empire and Fijan in thirty years......"
William turned to look into the distance, "It was also from that time that I knew that we had been prepared longer and more fully than the Fijian League.And I also have a chance to become the great emperor of all the ancestors of Vietnam!
”"From the moment we got the little girl twenty years ago, we knew that this day was coming.Now, it's already time. ”Keynes's voice was filled with a kind of intoxication and fanaticism, "The Great General brings back news of victory for you."
You know, he never let you down. ”"I firmly believe in that!"
William III said categorically: "From more than twenty years ago, I have never doubted the loyalty and competence of you and Sobour.While we are united, our enemies are intriguing, infighting, and arguing. ”As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the east: "The current Binarte Empire is the most powerful period in history.Our territory has expanded into the territory of the Republic of Fiyan.All the member states of the Western Treaty have surrendered to our feet in a gesture of humility that has never been seen before.When our army attacked Trevran and went south to the Leray Federation, a new fleet was out. ”He turned his hand into a fist: "We have no reason not to win this war, I don't want anything but victory!"
”The voice of William III echoed from King's Landing to Sidon, among the tall buildings.Twenty space fighters swept through the sky like lightning and jumped into the clouds.………… On March 1o, 2o64, the Sauber fleet arrived in the A3 system.After a breakaway journey from the Desik Empire all the way to the A3 system, this time, these majestic and mighty Western warships did not continue their lightning offensive.They finished their march in the early part of the two-pointed star corridor, and the shrinking hedgehogs gathered together.Like wolves with half-squinted green eyes in the dark night, quietly watching ahead.More than two million kilometers in front of them, the bandit army, which had not fought them all the way, finally stopped.In the void behind these black battleships equipped with unique ramming angles, countless Fijian warships are like knights entering the battlefield, coming in a steady stream, from columns to horizontal columns, lined up.Everyone who witnessed this scene could not describe their shock in words.So much so that during post-war interviews, many veterans sat in front of reporters, using all the adjectives they could think of, and did not describe the spectacular scene.In their mouths, there are two words that are mentioned the most.One is spectacular, the other is fate!"
That's a fateful duel," an old colonel Fei Yang suddenly burst into a bright light in his cloudy eyes when he was interviewed at the age of seventy, which made the reporter sitting opposite his heart beat instantly.Even if the colonel hadn't started to speak, this short sentence made him feel as if he was already in that starry sky."
Yes, it's a fateful showdown.Every single one of us knows that. ”"Before that, the war had been going on for two years," the colonel recalled.We were tired from playing.Battles, voyages, every day is all sorts of depressing news - the invasion of the Mema Field, the crushing defeat of the Republic of Pema, the loss of another A-class fleet in Triffran, and the destruction of one of the fortress guns of Al-Aqsa Fortress by the enemy......"
The colonel looked into the eyes of the reporter and said word by word: "You can't imagine the uncomfortable feeling of being surrounded by this news every day in a war!"
You don't know when the war will end.All you know is that you are sailing south, far from your homeland, to fight a battle that has led to the de facto division of Fjyan!
”"I understand."
The reporter replied with a smile: "Colonel, although I was only ten years old at the time, I was able to understand many things.I still remember my father and the adults around me sighing every day.In fact, looking back now, it's hard to believe that we were able to hold on under those circumstances. ”"What you see is just the surface of things.If you want to experience that desperation, perhaps you should pick up a gun and walk around the battlefield instead of watching the news at home. ”The colonel said lightly: "What you see is the disunity of the Filipino Alliance, and in the eyes of us soldiers, it is a hell without hope!"
”The reporter nodded and did not speak again.Just quietly watched the colonel gradually fall into his memories, and slowly said to himself: "Marshal Hastings is the idol of all Filipino soldiers.But at that time, we didn't know if we were doing the right thing, and even though we were following him, all the information was telling us that he was confused.The reason why Fimeng fell into the situation at that time was because of his disappointing leadership. ”"Is that what everybody thinks?"
The reporter asked while recording in his notebook."
Trust and suspicion are half and half respectively," the colonel said unabashedly, "The ones who make the most trouble are the guys from the Republic of Lane, since they knew that the four major systems of the Republic of Lane were broken by the Western Covenant, they haven't wanted to go back for a day."
Under their influence, the Allied officers and soldiers of many other countries also did not understand the southward strategy. ”The colonel said, sighing: "You can imagine how high our morale can be in such an ideological atmosphere.Moreover, we are about to face the enemy of Sober and the fleet of the Western Lord, which is twice as numerous as us.The feeling of pessimism and no hope is like sinking into a quagmire, sinking little by little. ”"And then?"

The journalist asked."
Then we arrived at the Leray Federation, and without the slightest stop, not even the fleet welcome ceremony that symbolizes the surname, we went directly through Bermuda and the central galaxy of Leray, and flew to the A3 galaxy.""
March 1o, 2o64?""
Yes, I think every soldier who participated in that battle remembers this saying.Never forget. ”The colonel nodded, "When we arrived at the two-pointed star corridor in the A3 galaxy, the bandit army retreated.More than two million kilometers behind them was the Western fleet. ”"You must have had a lot of resentment at the time."
The journalist asserted."
You are right," said the colonel, "it can be said that there is not a single person in the entire fleet who is not angry at the non-resistance of the bandits."
In our opinion, in order to preserve the Federation of Leret, the bandit army can go north to meet the attack and defeat the forward fleet led by Banning, why can't we delay the advance of Sober and leave more room for maneuver for the Allies?
At that time, we couldn't think of any excuse for them except selfishness. ”The reporter asked knowingly."
That's the most lame reason.War is war, don't fight if you're afraid of sacrifice!
”The colonel shook his head and said, "We left the dangerous situation of Triflan alone and went south to support them, but they retreated in great strides in order to preserve their troops, and lost all the strategic detour space in the early stage.No one else can be generous and tolerant!
”"You know," the colonel looked the reporter in the eye, "this is war, we are here to fight this war, and we pay with our lives!"
”The journalist was silent.From the point of view of the people, or after the fact, it may be easy to give an explanation for the retreat of the bandits.But, as the Colonel had said before, it was only from the standpoint of a soldier at that time, who was ready to die, that he understood what it meant to the Allies."
It must have been spectacular, can you describe it?"
The reporter diverted the topic.The colonel thought for a long time before he said slowly: "I said that it was a war of fate.I can't describe what it was like when the two fleets met, I can only tell you what I went through......"
"At that time, I was just a captain informant.When I arrived in the A3 system, it was my turn to be on duty.As soon as I got to the information center, I heard a shrill alarm, and then, the whole battleship exploded.Everyone didn't know where they came from, and they ran wildly.In addition to the sound of shouts, footsteps, and sirens, the sound of the captain repeating the command to prepare for battle on the radio. ”"At that time, my mind was blank.It wasn't until I sat down in front of my work terminal that I realized that we had met the Westward fleet.The sides are only two million kilometers apart, and in front of us, the bandit fleet is turning.At this distance, the battle could break out at any time. ”"That day was also the day when Liver's fleet arrived in Triflan.Beside me, there was a television that was still showing news footage of Liver's fleet entering the Triflan system. ”"I saw that hundreds of millions of people took to the streets to cheer and cheer on the Al-Aqsa migrant star.I also saw thousands of Allied warships lining the sides of the waterway in the starry sky, saluting the snow-soaked Liverfer fleet and being inspected by their new commander.Al-Aqsa Fortress, which had moved to the airspace of the jump point, gave a signal to welcome Admiral Clifford between the fierce battles, and when the Western Invasion Fleet slowly withdrew from the jump point airspace like a pack of hyenas that had seen a lion, the entire airspace was lit up by the light signal of victory. ”"Oddly enough, though, I don't feel anything about it.Although that's the credit we deserve.Although we arrived in the A3 galaxy amid the angry curses of all the Filipino people.However, I didn't feel angry or frustrated at all.The emotion that had tormented me throughout the whole journey to the south suddenly disappeared!
”"I breathe a sigh of relief, really.Instead of nervousness and panic, I breathed a sigh of relief.At that moment, I could clearly see the Western warships on the screen.I suddenly felt that this was my destiny.All the mental confusion and torture disappeared in that moment.I don't think about the Triflan system anymore, I don't think about the Maema system anymore, I don't think about the Firam that has abandoned us. ”"I just watched the countless Western warships, in front of us, staring at us like wolves.I watched our fleet, entering the designated position in a standard formation, densely packed with battleship porthole lights that stretched to the end of my line of sight.The bandit army was on the left, the central cluster of our Feiyan was in the center, and the more than twenty A-class fleets of the Republic of Lane were on the right, forming a huge trident. ”"At that time, we were in a delicate and tense confrontation with the enemy, and both sides were controlling their emotions and trying to find each other.We all sent reconnaissance ships and escort high destroyers.They spewed a stream of blue ionic light and rushed out of the main formation and flew towards the center of the battlefield. ”"Although none of the main guns can cross a distance of two million kilometers, our main guns are already starting to be charged.The mothership opened the ejection channel of the fighter, the electronic ship began to activate the electronic defense and jamming with all its might, and the reconnaissance ship released the satellite ...... while flying forward" Speaking of this in one breath, the colonel stopped and looked at the reporter with a nervous face."
We all remember that day.March 10th.I don't know if you were in class or playing in the mud when you were only ten years old, I just knew that I was under that starry sky millions of light-years away from you, forgetting everything and thinking to myself, fuck, we're alone, we're here.The battle is on!
