Chapter 24 The Unfinished Mission
In the cabin.
"Great! It's so great! Salem is worthy of being the God of War!" After hearing the God of War's speech, Luo Yuhao was so excited that he couldn't add to it. He clenched his fists excitedly and kept walking in the cabin.
The warship was leaving the atmosphere, and Jiang Xia stood by the porthole, staring at the endless starry sky.
This is the first time Jiang Xia has taken a starship, left Beta Star for the first time, and embarked on the journey of the sea of stars in his life.
So he couldn't help but feel a little excited, wanting to know what it would be like to see Beta Star from space.
Looking back, it’s like a dream. Yesterday, Jiang Xia was still a little assistant at the death identification center, but today she is already wearing a military uniform and a half-star badge, becoming a glorious quasi-warrior.
Of course, the words of the God of War Salem made Jiang Xia feel bloody, but his years of experience working in the death identification center made Jiang Xia develop a rare calm temperament. No one can tell Jiang Xia's face how he is now and what he is thinking.
Wanshitong came to Jiang Xia and muttered dissatisfiedly: "The old man is so old that he still likes to show off his strength. If he really wants to go to war with the Morro Empire because of the evacuation of the overseas Chinese, our losses will be even greater. Do you think this price is not worth it?"
Jiang Xia turned his head and looked at Wanshitong with a strange look. That was the war god Salem. Wanshitong actually called him a dead old man? This is too disrespectful.
Jiang Xia frowned slightly and said, "I think it's worth it."
Wanshitong blinked his eyes and stared at Jiang Xia in surprise for several seconds, "Don't you believe in cost theory and Machiavelliism?"
Jiang Xia asked back: "Have you ever thought about it? If the Earth Federation cannot protect its compatriots, how can their compatriots be loyal to the Federation?"
"Maybe the evacuation of overseas Chinese will be an extremely difficult battle, but if we lose this battle, we will lose more than just a war, but also a heart of people."
"The Earth Federation has poor resources and backward technology, but we have reached this day with such arduous conditions and ranked among the top 1,000 countries in the Milky Way. It is precisely because the Federation has the full support of the people behind it."
"I am a descendant of immigrants. I know the hardships of immigrants after they left the earth. When we immigrants left the earth, we did not come to live a good life, but to serve and support our motherland. Without the efforts of immigrants and expatriates, how could the Federation be today?"
"If we can abandon the expatriates today, we can abandon immigrants tomorrow, and abandon all our fellow federal compatriots the day after tomorrow. In the long run, our compatriots will no longer have a Earth Federation in their hearts. Once the hearts of people are dispersed, everything will be over."
"I do believe that everything has a price, but at the same time, I also understand that some things need to be protected at all costs."
All things looked at Jiang Xia in surprise. He didn't expect that this young man with a cold face could tell such a profound truth.
"If the country abandons the people, the people will not care about the country." Wanshitong nodded and said, "I seem to understand what you mean. The theory of cost can be used in life and on the enemy, but the theory of cost must not be used to measure one's own compatriots."
Jiang Xia said lightly: "That's probably what it means."
At this time, Amsterdam had broken away from gravity and entered space.
Jiang Xia's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but mutter to herself: "So when you look down from space, Beta Star is so beautiful? Look at the yellow star ring, it looks like a golden ring, surrounding Beta Star."
"I'll go! It turns out that the sandstorm of Beta Star looks so spectacular from space!" Luo Yuhao also scratched his head in surprise and said, "This is just Beta Star. If it were Earth, wouldn't it be so beautiful!"
"Absolute!" Jiang Xia pointed to the distant star sea and said, "Look at that nebula! The crimson red looks like the magma erupted when a volcano erupts?"
"Similar! So similar! So spectacular!" Luo Yuhao said with wide eyes.
Well...
Wanshitong pouted quietly. He had just been a little bit of a personality admiration in his heart when Jiang Xia said that, but when he turned around, he found that Jiang Xia was essentially a local bun who had never left Beta Star.
"What's the point of making a fuss about? Isn't it just the Nebula?" Wanshitong muttered in a low voice behind two local buns Jiang Xia and Luo Yuhao.
However, he soon felt that he should sympathize with Jiang Xia and Luo Yuhao.
"It's so pitiful. They are all descendants of the earthlings, but they have never returned to the earth, ah." Wanshitong murmured in his heart.
......
Amsterdam, the battleship command center.
The formal order to evacuate the overseas Chinese has been issued, and Mu Linsen, Jacques and Jovi are all frowning around this order of dispatch.
Yovi's face turned pale and swallowed and said, "Let us be responsible for the immigration task of the Changjing Galaxy, 120 million expatriates! Oh my God, just kill us! How can we have the ability to safely escort so many expatriates?"
Jacques said in a deep voice: "Although the headquarters has made great determination, the relationship between us and the Qingxue Empire has always been very good, so there are not many warships deploying defenses on the border. It is not a matter of one day or one night to transfer the large fleet from various federal territories to the Qingxue Empire. We are close and only three days away, so we can only bear this burden."
Bang!
Mu Linsen slapped the table with a big hand and gritted his teeth and said, "Logistics Department! Immediately clear the maximum carrying capacity of the Amsterdam!"
"If we throw away all the entertainment facilities and all equipment that are not related to the evacuation work, how many expatriates can the Amsterdam accept?"
"I don't want all?" asked the civilian officer in the logistics department in glasses in a panic.
"No!" Mu Linsen said with great resoluteness: "Protecting our compatriots is the responsibility of us soldiers, and we are unshirkable! As long as we can accept one more expatriate, we can save one more life!"
"There are no things, but they can be rebuilt. If people are gone, how can we face the families of the Federation!"
"Go and tear me the activity room of the officers and soldiers! Pour out the water from the swimming pool! smash the tables, chairs, sofas, audio and TVs in the restaurant and throw them into space! In short, free up all the space you can use! Start with my office and bedroom! The evacuation operation is not successful, and I will never leave the command center!"
Yovi and Jacques were both stunned!
Yovi gritted his teeth and whispered: "And my office and bedroom, go and clear me all! Used to accommodate the expatriates, from today on, I will sleep in the command center!"
So, a grand cleanup operation was launched on the Amsterdam.
The soldiers threw everything they could throw into space, even if it was something very important to them.
"Don't throw away this Venus sculpture, right? After all, this is given to you by your daughter." A young man with curly hair in a soldier dormitory pointed to a tall sculpture in the middle of the dormitory and asked.
This is a birthday gift given to his father by his roommate's daughter. The black roommate likes this sculpture very much. He always stares at it for a while before going to bed every day before he falls asleep. He also said that his daughter is very smart and may become a sculptor in the future.
The black warrior glanced at the sculpture given to him by his daughter, then moved it up directly, clamped it under his armpit, turned his head and walked out of the room, smashed it with one punch, and threw the pieces into the vacuum trash can.
"No! Don't want it all! Even if my daughter knows, she will forgive me!"
"What about our dormitory?"
"Of course, it is for the expatriates to live! We are soldiers, what dormitory dormitory do we need! If this evacuation operation is not successful, how can we still have the face to wear this military uniform!"
......
Command Center.
While the soldiers were busy cleaning up the warship space, Mu Linsen had already received the system's estimated maximum carrying capacity.
After looking at the numbers on the screen, Mu Linsen closed his eyes in despair and clenched his fists with both hands.
Since the main force of the military is not on the front line of the Qingxue Empire, there are currently very limited ships that can be mobilized.
Including the Amsterdam and the three destroyers and eleven frigates and eight logistics and transport ships assigned to the Changjing Galaxy, the maximum carrying capacity is only 3.7 million people.
"Three.7 million people!" Yovi was stunned and shouted loudly as if he was hit hard: "We are going to pick up 120 million expatriates! This is really outrageous!"
Chapter completed!
