Chapter 1796 Prepare to start the Earth Defense War

Subsequent developments also proved that the functions of the central government were indeed not completely out of control.

Congress held an emergency session and passed the martial law bill, indicating that the country would enter a state of national defense emergency. The operation of all social mechanisms should be converted to wartime mode, and all large-scale gatherings and entertainment activities should be restricted.

Remember, this was passed by Congress, not ordered by the president, so it has a very high degree of legitimacy. This is very important!

At this point in time, how many planets can the decrees of the Earth's central government still have an effect on is a question worth debating. But having such an attitude is very touching. Taking ten thousand steps back, at least the solar system does seem to be in a state of war.

Of course, as early as the first month of the war, the National Defense Commission had already launched a national defense mobilization order in various star regions, thus providing millions of recruits and more than 400 support warships to the outer ring theater. . However, it was not until the war had been going on for a full year that the national economic system and social activity pattern officially began to transform into a state of war.

We cannot say that this is a "belated mobilization" or other sarcastic remarks. Again, it is important to have this attitude.

In addition, even after martial law and mobilization began, the Blue Star Community still did not formally declare war on the empire. This may be because the Dukes and the President of Congress forgot.

Look, didn’t the empire on the opposite side also declare war?

However, when it comes to the National Defense Committee, the Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Maxell, became ill due to overwork and had to be hospitalized to recuperate. However, the Presidential Office certainly could not do anything to remove the old man from his post. It only asked Vice Chairman in charge of personnel Pegas to serve as The acting chairman temporarily presides over the work.

Mr. Pegues was President Nikita's best friend. He did not make much achievements either as personnel director or as a senator. Probably the greatest achievement in his life was to award two medals and hold two promotion ceremonies to the "Dragon of Dawn", so he also accepted two salutes from him.

Judging from this point alone, his achievements in this area seem to exceed that of the president and vice president, so it is natural to act as chairman of the committee, right?

Anyway, the specific affairs are naturally handled by professional bureaucrats. They are also sabotaging their work, and the Secretary-General of the Presidential Office, who can punch national traitors 666 times in one second, whips them, so there should be no trouble.

Probably...

In this way, President Nishita, who stabilized the situation, once again gave a televised speech, saying that the central government is on the earth and will never evacuate, and must lead everyone to win this war.

In the following days, some congressmen and wealthy businessmen did leave the earth in embarrassment, but it did not cause a wave of escapes.

After all, the central government is still there, almost all government agencies are still operating normally, and life on the earth and even in the entire solar system is still going on. Maybe that means that the sun will still rise as usual, right?

Subsequently, the New Independence of the Mars Shipyard finally left the dock and sailed to the earth's low-Earth orbit. That majestic body made many citizens feel a certain sense of security, and the situation on the earth seemed to have stabilized.

On July 5, Marshal Paul Ferragu led the fleet and finally returned to Earth. When we set out, the newly "reconstructed" Solar System Fleet had nearly 200 large and small ships, but now only a quarter of them are left.

However, this is already a blessing among misfortunes. After all, the fleet's organization is still intact. After all, the only "Marskuk-class dreadnought" is still alive and healthy.

When a battleship comparable in size to a standard Dreadnought appeared in Earth orbit and flew with the New Independence, many citizens on Earth actually felt a sense of security they had not felt for a long time.

This battle to defend the earth does not seem to be impossible. Some people inevitably have such thoughts.

After all, the solar system is the most densely populated and most developed galaxy in the community. The asteroid belt builds fortresses from the Age of Empire; there are automatic defense satellites purchased from the Alliance in the orbits of Earth, Mars and Enceladus; the Mars shipyard and arsenal can produce all weapons, including battle cruisers; Enceladus There are still a large number of weapons in the armory.

Even if 1% of the population of 30 billion is mobilized, 300 million soldiers can be armed... Well, this number is meaningless, it is just a few neutron bombs, but this kind of spirit must be shown .

As a result, the underground city fortifications that had been under construction since Marshal Li's era began to be launched, and some important facilities and departments began to be moved underground.

Observations and detection stations in the Kuiper Belt - known in this universe as the "Navigator Belt", mining stations and orbiting metallurgical plants in the asteroid belt, energy factories in the orbit of Jupiter, and of course those on the Earth-Mars course The crowded space city has also begun to become militarized.

New troops began to be organized. Of course, there is no time to train the battleship crews who need the most professional qualities, but the fortress garrison and marines that fill the line can still be "produced" in batches.

In addition, the Blue Label series of combat robots that have demonstrated outstanding combat effectiveness on all fronts have also come off the production line in batches. Everyone wants to hide a platoon of Destroyer robots in every corner of the alley and even in every sewer.

From the big bosses of the central government to ordinary people, it seems that they are really ready to start this battle to defend the earth.

No, Marshal Ferragut had just returned to the solar system, and he immediately became busy again, arranging the maintenance, supply and preparation of each battleship under his command, as well as the recruitment and rest of various departments.

Of course, from the perspective of the earth, it is better to be busy. Being busy means that you are still prepared to struggle, and there is still some hope. If the whole army is numb and silent, then something really big has happened.

In this way, the National Defense Committee will naturally fully cooperate with Marshal Fei's work.

In less than twenty-four hours, all the battleships entered the dock and began a slow recovery state. With the empire's current marching state, it would be difficult for them to get their health back to full before the enemy arrives, but that doesn't actually matter.

But even so, most of the shipyards in the solar system are still empty, and they still look somewhat desolate.

You know, this is where the local fleet is stationed. At most, there are more than a thousand warships stationed here, including six Independence-class Dreadnoughts. That's what it's called: a hundred boats competing for a stream, a boat racing thousands of miles away, or even a "thousands of miles" in the literal sense.

Fortunately, at least ordinary citizens do not feel this empty desolation.

After arranging all matters, Marshal Paul Ferragut did not immediately return to the military headquarters on Earth to report on his duties, but directly boarded the New Independence next door. Wearing a marshal's uniform dotted with gold-rimmed ribbons, he held a scepter and walked on the corridor of a battleship full of imperial decoration style. Although his body was wide, his steps were quite light. His face was filled with stunning eyes, and his mouth was full of surprises. Li was even more amazed, not hiding his envy and longing for this giant ship.

"Lieutenant Colonel Rozez, what a majestic ship. If the empire had not respected martial ethics and ignored international public laws, launching a brazen sneak attack on the Circassian Kingdom, this warship would have become my flagship, right?" the marshal said. He asked the young officer who accompanied him on his inspection tour, but his tone was slightly frivolous.

"Yes, it was originally scheduled to conduct three rounds of tests in July and officially enter service in August as the flagship of the Solar System Fleet."

"So, because of the despicableness of the empire, I have to drive a museum ship to the battlefield." The marshal gritted his teeth and said: "If it were replaced by the New Independence, would the result be different? Maybe I could put Su King Ruka is blocking Chero?”

Luo Zeshi paused for a second, and then said in a decisive but polite tone: "Your Excellency, there is absolutely no such possibility."

"Hey, you can at least not use the word 'absolute'!" Marshal Ferragu said loudly.

Having said that, in the eyes of Lieutenant Colonel Chester Rozez, Marshal Ferragut seemed not to be affected by the two defeats in Chero and New Baghdad at all, and he still looked relaxed and not worried about anything.

Maybe this can be regarded as a talent, right?

However, whether this is disguise or true nature, Luo Zeshi has no idea at all. However, when he first served as Yu Lian's deputy, he did spend some time with the marshal, and knew that although this man was a cook, he was not an incompetent person who had climbed up the ranks by specializing in management.

So, he also squeezed out the same business smile, showed off the style of an elite officer, and explained meticulously: "This is not a purely tactical issue. After Cherk surrendered without a fight, New Asia has Lost the barrier even you. We can repel the empire once or twice, but when the main forces of the empire on the Feimo side arrive like demons surging out of the abyss, there will be no chance, sir, strategically we have lost."

Luo Zeshi apologized to his former commander in his heart: "Even if it were replaced by Commander Yu Company, there would be no possibility of victory."

"Hahaha, thank you for your comfort. Lieutenant Colonel, I still know myself. Although I have not held back Xinya, I have not actually made much contribution. If it were Admiral Yu Lian, he would definitely act in the empire. Had we occupied Chero before? This would have eliminated the security risk from the source.”

Luo Zeshi said: "But in this case, we are the ones violating international public law. We are a weak country and have no qualifications to tear up the treaty."

Although he was not sure whether the other party was coaxing him, Marshal Ferragut did receive some comfort. He thought for a while and then said: "If I attack Chero non-stop after arriving in Xinya, is it possible to drive away King Su before she has a firm foothold?"

Luo Zeshi was silent for a few seconds and said seriously: "I don't know, the battle is over."

"Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel. Thank you very much. Although you didn't say anything, I have clearly felt your attitude." Marshal Ferragu smiled indifferently, and then said seriously: " Also, thank you for your hard work Work, Lieutenant Colonel. The repairs and reconstruction of the Independence were completed in half a year. If it were anyone else, I would just think that some young man was talking about it. But if you say it, I think it is a matter of course." br>


Luo Zeshi lowered his head slightly and said modestly: "I really don't dare to take it. The job of the subordinate is nothing more than to re-lay the bridge equipment, debug the command and control system, sort out the energy connection standards, and replace the severely damaged weapons with Substitute domestic products.”

"Can it really be made in China?" Marshal Ferragu's face was filled with surprise.

"...Some core technologies still take a certain amount of time to break through. Fortunately, before the war, we had already purchased enough core components from the alliance, and we only need to do a good job of building the building blocks."


Seeing that Marshal Ferragu's expression seemed to be even more confused, Rozes added: "When we finally signed the agreement with the Northern Design Bureau, the alliance asked us to purchase some parts as supplements. For example, we can Equip four more ships of the Lord God Active gravity source radar and type 12 deflection shield can assemble 80 standard rail gun accelerators, as well as the same number of constant point light spear cannon energy aggregation generators. These additions cost an additional 50 billion satellites. ”

Marshal Ferragut's expression was a little unnatural: "I have heard of this matter."

He actually heard it from a member of the Co-Prosperity Party, saying that they were investigating the accounts of the National Defense Commission's defense procurement case and finally found evidence that Yu Lian colluded with the alliance to embezzle public funds, which could be used as black material against the other party in the future. .

When he first heard the news, Marshal Ferragut was surprised but also quite happy. He really didn't expect that Yu Lian, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is also corrupt. Doesn't this mean that the dignified "Dragon of Dawn" is on the same level as himself, a vulgar mediocrity?

Now that I think about it, is it really his foresight?

Marshal Ferragut marveled: "This is to prepare for a rainy day. Although you are young, you are wiser and better than us useless old things."

Luo Zeshi said: "This is actually Commander Yu's personal judgment. Most people in the embassy and delegation felt that the alliance was ripping off people, but Commander Yu accepted the opinions of the other party against all the opinions. He told me , the additional purchase order issued by the alliance was personally listed by Yamida Berenkeste, and it will definitely be useful there.”

Now that Princess Rainbow Rose was mentioned, Marshal Ferragut couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then he frowned and looked thoughtful. To be honest, his round and fat cook's face is still not suitable for such an expression.

"This, this... Lieutenant Colonel, do you want to say that Princess Rainbow Rose and Yu Lian have actually thought of this day for a long time?" Marshal Ferragu asked in surprise.

Lieutenant Colonel Chester Rozez just wore a business smile and said nothing, indicating that he had nothing to say.

Marshal Ferragut laughed again. Of course he knew that he said something stupid.

The latter replied again: "However, the most I can do is restore the Independence to about 70% of its previous combat effectiveness."

He now has a very clear understanding of Marshal Ferragut's IQ. If he directly reports a series of professional data such as speed, power, force field angle, energy cooling, etc., the old man may be confused, and of course he will have to use a general "about 70%" - if you change As an ex, I must have been criticized for answering like this.

Sure enough, Marshal Ferragut completely understood and praised again: "This is already very difficult. Lieutenant Colonel, this overhaul has allowed the Mars Shipyard to accumulate a lot of experience?"

Luo Zeshi's expression suddenly became more vivid: "In fact, including the previous reconstruction of the Cook, the Mars Shipyard has accumulated a lot of experience in building large battleships."

Marshal Ferragut's expression was still full of longing and nostalgia, even with a little uncontrolled fanaticism: "If this war had not broken out, the Mars Shipyard could really build the last two God-class ships, and the equipment could be updated. If we can train enough workers, we should be able to return to the grand occasion of the time, right? I mean, the grand occasion of Marshal Li?”
