Earth Federation.
Since the negotiation with the Gaia civilization broke down, the Earth Federation has made an emergency decision to prepare for war.
Faced with another war that may come at any time, the entire federal government is operating rapidly like a sophisticated machine.
Today's earth civilization can be said to be different from what it used to be.
The earth civilization that has entered the cosmic civilization has the theoretical possibility of fighting against the Gaia civilization.
However, facing the more powerful Gaia civilization, neither members of the federal government nor the military are absolutely sure of winning the war.
Faced with this problem, the federal government has proposed two plans.
The first plan is to focus on defense, that is, to make every effort to defend the solar system and protect the earth's civilization from the attack of Gaia civilization.
But the problem is that it is simply impossible to achieve watertight defense for such a huge solar system.
Not to mention the earth's civilization, even the Gaia civilization cannot implement a comprehensive defense of its home planet.
You must know that in the three-dimensional space, the state of war It is completely different from the two-dimensional plane.
The breakthrough point of the attack is no longer just one point or one plane.
Unless you can block the entire solar system with a cage-like defense system in the entire three-dimensional space, this possibility does not exist, let alone The entire solar system, not even the entire earth, can do this.
According to the plan of the federal government and the military, only partial defense of the solar system, including the earth, can be achieved.
In other words, its defense system is similar to when the last war broke out.
The space force has deployed ring-shaped defense devices in the earth's low-Earth orbit. , and set up another layer of defense network outside this layer of ring defense device, which will be the innermost two layers of defense system to protect the earth.
Outside them are The free search fleet and space searchers, together with the lunar base, form the outer layer of the earth's defense system.
The space fleet within the solar system will also deploy another layer of space searchers to ensure that the enemy's whereabouts are discovered as soon as possible.
As for the entire space force, it will also be divided into several parts, such as garrison fleet, free fleet, patrol fleet, rapid response fleet, etc., thus forming the entire defense system.
As for the Mars base, the structure of the defense system is similar to that of the Moon base.
This huge defense system is not only expensive.
Moreover, it takes a long time to build them.
According to calculations, even if the Earth Federation Government fully invests, it will probably take decades.
What is even more frustrating is that whether their final effect can meet expectations is still unknown.
This plan was rejected after many discussions.
The reason is very simple.
According to intelligent brain calculations, even if such a defense system is completed, its effect will not be very good.
The entire solar system is still like a sieve with breakthrough points everywhere.
In terms of human resources and technological level, the construction of this defense system is not worth the gain. certainly.
The concept of the entire defense system still has some merits.
At least it is necessary to deploy a ring defense system in the earth's low-Earth orbit.
For this reason, the final result of the plan only approved the construction of a ring defense system in low-Earth orbit.
As for the Space Force's space fleet, the federal government also agreed to make adjustments.
In addition, it is also necessary to launch a large number of space searchers at the edge of the solar system.
This result can be said to be just a compromise solution, barely passable.
In addition to this defensive plan, someone proposed another plan, which was an offensive plan.
There is a saying that the best defense is offense.
When perfect defense cannot be achieved, using offense instead of defense is a good option.
For thousands of years of civilization on earth, war has never disappeared from human society, and there are many military strategists and famous generals who have appeared in human history.
The wisdom left by the predecessors, including the art of war written by them, although the war situation has changed. , but its essence remains unchanged.
The proposal to replace defense with offense has just been proposed.
It has been widely recognized by the military.
Even General Ivan, the commander-in-chief of the Space Fleet, is the main general who supports offense instead of defense.
The ancient Chinese book Han Shu Xiang Shu Zhuan also wrote about the saying that strike first and strike later to control others.
Many events in history have also proved the correctness of this sentence.

Even the "attack" used by Germany in World War II The "Blitzkrieg" tactic is also divorced from this. in addition.
There is also an old saying among the people: strike first to gain strength, strike later to suffer disaster.
The meaning of this sentence is the same as preemptive strike.
When there is a gap between the opponent's strength and the opponent's, the preemptive choice can better utilize strengths and avoid weaknesses.
The military proposed that since the safety of earth civilization in the war cannot be ensured, it is a good choice to take the initiative to attack and bring the war to the enemy's side.
Likewise, even if the attack fails.
The current interstellar power of the Earth civilization can also bring losses to the Gaia civilization, and more importantly, it can also win precious time for the Earth.
As time goes by, the call within the federal government to replace defense with offense becomes louder and louder, but the federal government has yet to make a final decision.
This situation led to strong dissatisfaction among the space force, the military, and some military generals even began to accuse the federal government of being too weak.
It was already late at night, and Mr.
Tian returned to his residence after just finishing a meeting.
He should have retired long ago but was delayed due to the Gaia Civilization incident.
However, he no longer holds the position of President of the Federal Academy of Sciences. , but works for the government as an advisory member of the Federal President.
After the negotiations broke down, Mr.
Tian took over this position and provided decision-making advice to the president and the government as a scientist.
Even though he is just a consultant, his actual work is very busy.
Faced with the upcoming war and another war that will lead to the future of the survival of earth civilization, Mr.
Tian devotes almost all his energy.
The driverless car stopped silently at the door of his residence.
The door opened.
Mr.
Tian's secretary was just about to get out of the car when Mr.
Tian refused.
He waved to the secretary and asked him to go back early and come back the next day.
Picking him up, he walked into the residence with heavy steps.
This is an exquisite small building, which was specially allocated to him by the federal government.
It has all the equipment inside, and there are dedicated people responsible for management and cleaning.
After entering the door, the living room was brightly lit, and two guests had been waiting there for a long time.
When they heard the footsteps, the guests stood up at the same time and looked towards the door.
"Old Field" "The meeting just ended, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Mr.
Tian forced a smile and said to the visitor with the tiredness on his face.
"It's nothing, have you eaten?"
Lin Dong, of course, knew that Mr.
Tian was working very urgently now, so he asked directly.
"I just took some cushion during the meeting break.
I'm not hungry yet."
Mr.
Tian replied, walking quickly to the sofa: "Wan Lao, Lao Lin, you all can sit down.
It's been a smooth journey here."
"What's wrong?
The shuttle flight only takes a few hours, but you, Lao Tian, must be a little exhausted these days."
Wan Changchun handed a cup of freshly brewed tea to Mr.
Tian and looked at his tired expression.
He sighed with an expression: "The body is the capital of revolution.

You are not young anymore, so take it easy."
Mr.
Tian took the tea and thanked him, then smiled bitterly: "How can I rest well in this situation?
Don't talk about me.
Even the chief is like this and works harder than me."
The leader Mr.
Tian mentioned is the federal president.
Elderly people of this generation have long been accustomed to calling each other, and they still use the previous titles in private.
"By the way, I heard that the military is very dissatisfied with the federal government's failure to make a preemptive strike.
Is there such a thing?"
Lin Dong asked after Tian Lao took a sip of tea.
Putting down the tea cup, Mr.
Tian nodded: "This is not a secret, and there is no need to keep your identities secret.
Indeed, as Lao Lin said, there are many young men in the military who are dissatisfied with the federal government, and the key point is also because of the federal government.
There is currently no plan to replace defense with offense.”
"How is the situation with the military now?"
Lin Dong asked anxiously.
Mr.
Tian shook his head slightly: "The problem is not there yet.
General Ivan and some other senior generals still support the federal government, and they also understand the difficulties of the federal government, so there are only some complaints within the military, and it is not unstable. " "That's good."
After hearing these words, both Lin Dong and Wan Changchun calmed down a little.
The current situation can be said to be extremely serious.
If there is a strong enemy outside, once there is an internal problem.
Then it will bring irreparable losses to the entire earth civilization.
In any case, stability is everything.
Only when you are internally stable can you concentrate your strength to face the enemy.
But Mr.
Tian's last words made their hearts hang in doubt: "This situation cannot be delayed any longer.
It must be resolved as soon as possible.
If it continues to be delayed, no one can guarantee what the military's reaction will be."
"Can't General Ivan suppress him?"
"It's not that we can't suppress it.
The key is that the trauma caused to us by the last war was too great, and soldiers are all bloody."
"Yes, soldiers are bloody.
In fact, not only soldiers, but also ordinary people."
Wan Changchun nodded understandingly.
At present, the discussion of this plan is only within the government, but once it spreads, it will be known to ordinary people.
Considering the evils Gaia civilization has committed against the earth's civilization, including the trauma people suffered in the last war, public opinion supporting the military's views will inevitably be one-sided.
By then, I am afraid that the federal government will be in a difficult position.
"Does the chief have any concerns?"
Lin Dong carefully considered the cause and effect and asked hesitantly.
Mr.
Tian nodded silently: "Actually, not only the chief, but also myself have concerns.
To be honest with you, the federal government has not been able to pass the plan to replace defense with offense.
Although there are all these other reasons, I personally oppose it. ” "Do you think this is strange?"

Lin Dong and Wan Changchun exchanged glances and asked.
Mr.
Tian sighed and nodded.
As a negotiator who had direct contact with Gaia civilization and a core figure in the delegation, Mr.
Tian was one of the main people who experienced this entire process.
After the negotiation between the two parties broke down, Mr.
Tian carefully recalled all the details of the previous negotiations, coupled with the possible results after the negotiation, Mr.
Tian suddenly felt that this incident was not simple.
Mr.
Tian felt that the Gaia civilization’s initiative to contact and negotiate seemed to be a situation, an unpredictable situation.
On the surface, the whole thing seemed very simple.
A Gaia civilization that had invaded the earth’s civilization asked for reconciliation with the earth’s civilization. , but was unwilling to characterize previous wars, and even proposed the universal principles of universal civilization.
It was precisely because of this that the negotiations between the two parties broke down, Gaia civilization left angrily, the relationship between the two parties suddenly became tense, and war broke out again anytime and anywhere.
The whole thing is like this.
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with it.
Even from the perspective of the people on earth, the Gaians are arrogant and do not take earth civilization seriously.
They also come up with a so-called universal code to cover up their mistakes.
This is the earth.
Something that civilization cannot accept.
But in retrospect, Mr.
Tian felt that something was a little strange.
The Gaia civilization came to take the initiative to contact and negotiate this time, as if it was hiding something, but Mr.
Tian couldn't guess what exactly it was hiding.
From an intuitive point of view, Mr.
Tian even felt that Gaia was hiding something.
Civilization is more looking forward to the outbreak of war than Earth civilization, which is why he is opposed to the military's plan to replace defense with offense.
He told Lin Dong and Wan Changchun what he was thinking, including his doubts.
Mr.
Tian invited them this time mainly because he wanted to hear their opinions.
As the military became more and more dissatisfied with the federal government, the federal government The pressure from the outside world is also increasing.
In any case, a decision must be made on this matter in the near future.
Otherwise, before Gaia civilization comes over, big problems will arise within the earth's civilization.
After listening to Mr.
Tian's story, Lin Dong and Wan Changchun were silent.
They knew the general situation of the incident, but this was the first time they heard some details from Mr.
Tian.
Like Mr.
Tian, they felt a little uneasy after understanding all the situations.
Perhaps this intuition was influenced by Mr.
Tian, or it was the reason for their respective judgments.
Time passed by minute by second, and the living room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.
It was not known how long it had passed, but Wan Changchun spoke first.
"How's it going over there with the Pioneer spaceship?"
Mr.
Tian shook his head: "Information has been transmitted, but Xiaosu and the others are too far away from the earth.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The information we receive is lagging behind and has no value at all to this incident."
Wan Changchun sighed lightly.
In fact, they all knew the current situation.
As a new cosmic civilization, what Earth civilization lacks is an understanding of the entire galaxy and other cosmic civilizations.
This is a fatal weakness of the earth's civilization, and it makes them as helpless as a blind man touching an elephant.
The reason why Wan Changchun mentioned the Pioneer spacecraft was to ask Su Yichen whether they had come into contact with the Blue Star Civilization and whether they had made contact with other cosmic civilizations, so as to understand the details of the general principles mentioned by the Gaia Civilization.
As an old man who has experienced "struggle", Wan Changchun may not be as good as today's people in other aspects, but when it comes to struggle experience, he is extremely keen.
If Gaia civilization's contact negotiations really had another purpose, he believed that the other party was probably taking advantage of Earth civilization's shortcomings in understanding cosmic civilization to make a fuss, but they didn't know what fuss they wanted to make.
