Chapter 217 Save Comrade Wang Qing!
For this day, the rebels from top to bottom have simulated and rehearsed countless times. At this moment, all actions are in order, each doing their own job, without any chaos.
Killing the Itars, killing the running dogs, occupying the factory, requisitioning the transport capacity, moving the goods, receiving in space, many aspects are carried out at the same time.
Everything emphasizes the word "fast".
A large number of official spaceships were directly taken over, and the landing spaceships were also requisitioned. There was no time to sort or classify all kinds of materials, and they were directly packed and sent to space.
After everything was completed, more than 600 spaceships - more than 500 rebel warships plus captured official spaceships with acceleration capabilities above a certain level that would not hinder the retreat progress, fully loaded with various goods, and the rebel fighters who gathered on Ceres in the early stage, retreated together.
What was left for Ceres was only a mess.
Everything that could be taken away was taken away, and the factories that could not be taken away were destroyed, the official spacecraft was blown up, the space elevator was destroyed, and the personnel of the major government agencies in Ceres Province were almost wiped out. At least eight out of ten people were killed, and the notorious gangsters and wealthy people were also killed.
The official power of the entire Ceres was almost wiped out.
But...
The civilians and the poor were almost unaffected. Not only were they not affected, but with the tacit consent of the rebels, they even made a fortune.
At this moment, the rebel fleet had completely moved away from Ceres and retreated to a safe area as planned. Chu Feng was finally able to take a breath and take a brief inventory of the materials seized at this moment.
The result of the inventory made the rebels excited.
In total, there were more than 800,000 tons of various rare materials! Among them, there were about 5,000 tons of gold alone!
Gold not only has certain monetary properties, but also has great uses in the industrial field and is extremely important.
In the material demand list provided by Lao A, it was specifically indicated that 2,000 tons of gold were needed!
And now, we have seized 5,000 tons of gold, far exceeding the task set by Lao A!
In addition, rare metals such as gallium, germanium, niobium, and strontium have also seized more than 3,000 tons, far exceeding the original target.
In addition, there are various advanced equipment, such as chips, metal smelting, chemical industry, 3D printing, thruster-related, nuclear fusion-related, and so on.
If converted into human currency, these more than 800,000 tons of materials at this moment are probably worth more than tens of trillions. More importantly, many of them cannot be bought with money.
Because the Itars will not sell them to humans at all!
This time, I really made a fortune!
However, in addition to completing Lao A's demand task, Chu Feng knew that this matter had another extremely significant impact.
For many years, since the arrival of the Itars, the human resistance has always been in a state of small fights.
Even when the Blue Army was still there, it had never had space military power, let alone directly captured and plundered a planet like we are doing now!
Although we are only plundering, not occupying, this is still an unprecedented peak in the human resistance.
That's a planet! A planet with a population of tens of millions, as the core of the asteroid belt, and highly valued by the Itar people!
This means that the progress of the human resistance has reached a new stage.
If it spreads, how much will this matter inspire human fighting spirit? How many people will be inspired? How many people's hopes and morale will be boosted?
The potential benefits of this matter are greater than these apparent captures, and they are immeasurable!
At this moment, Chu Feng just wants to laugh out loud.
The brothers of Mercury only assassinated a mere Rotrit, and his name has been spread to this day. Now, the rebels in our asteroid belt have directly looted a planet, killed the provincial government's top executive, destroyed the guard hall's lair, killed more than a thousand Itar people, more than ten thousand Itar people's die-hard lackeys, and destroyed hundreds of large factories!
In this day and age, who is as awesome as our survival club!
...
After hurrying, the guard ship where Wang Qing was finally arrived near Ceres.
What appeared in front of him at this moment was a planet full of dilapidated atmosphere.
The guard ship that arrived earlier had taken over the planet and sent personnel to make some repairs. However, the dilapidated atmosphere still could not be eliminated.
Wang Qing's hands were constantly shaking slightly.
At this moment, the emotions in his heart could no longer be described simply as anger or rage. He only felt his heart twitching, full of pain, and it seemed that he could not breathe continuously.
How could this happen, how could this happen...
The army was clearly encircling and suppressing, and everything was going smoothly, so why was Ceres suddenly destroyed?
Hundreds of rebel warships? The combat power was greatly improved? The large number of rebels on the ground rioted and caught the enemy off guard?
The planet was occupied, almost all major departments were destroyed, many factories were destroyed and looted, and even the space elevator was destroyed?
It turned out that the so-called results of the early battles were all strategies to lure the enemy... I underestimated the enemy for a moment, and such harsh consequences occurred...
The atmosphere in the flagship spacecraft was dull, and no one dared to speak.
After a long silence, Wang Qing finally spoke.
"Chase, chase, and uproot the main force of the rebels... I will execute them personally, I... catch them..."
Wang Qing's voice was full of dryness and hoarseness.
"yes."
The subordinates sighed inwardly.
Now that the situation is like this, the rebel fleet has escaped, so why should we pursue it?
Only by encircling and suppressing the enemy at every step can we find the hiding place of the rebel fleet hidden deep in the starry sky. Is it a waste of fuel to rush into pursuit like this?
Supervisor Wang was obviously furious at this moment. But no subordinate dared to point it out.
But... before the subordinates could carry out the order, a group of guards rushed into the main control room.
"The Governor's Office and the Earth Guard Headquarters ordered that in view of the serious dereliction of duty and major strategic mistakes of Wang Qing, the head of the Asteroid Belt Guard Agency, it is now decided to immediately suspend Wang Qing from all duties, put him under the control of the Supervision Department of the Guard Agency, and immediately escort him back to Earth Get interrogated!
Matters related to the Asteroid Belt Security Agency and the encirclement and suppression of rebels are temporarily presided over by Yang Chen, the director of the Earth Guard Fleet! "
The leading guard looked at Wang Qing with a complicated expression and said: "Royal Lord...Wang Qing, don't make it difficult for us."
He pulled out a pair of handcuffs.
Wang Qing, who was originally supported by anger, suddenly seemed to have lost his skeleton at the moment when the dismissal and interrogation order came, and his whole body slumped in his seat.
The guards stepped forward, handcuffed Wang Qing, and helped him leave.
What happened in the asteroid belt spread throughout the solar system in just a few days.
This matter is too big, and its impact is too wide, and it is impossible to hide it.
At this moment, countless people were shocked and dumbfounded.
Aren't the rebels all a bunch of simpletons with backward equipment, who can only hide like mice on the surface of the planet and fight guerrillas with the guards?
Why did such a big thing happen in the asteroid belt not long ago?
Captured a planet? And killed more than a thousand Ita people? Or when a large army gathered in the asteroid belt and a full 2,000 guard ships were launching a full-scale encirclement and suppression?
This, isn't this a naked and obvious slap in the face of the Eta people? Isn't this provoking the Eta people?
When did the rebels become so awesome?
Some people are afraid, afraid that if the rebels continue to grow stronger, they will be directly executed like those on Ceres who were declared by the rebels to be Eta's lackeys. Some people were filled with excitement and secretly cheered for the rebels in their hearts.
All kinds of emotions. Most people continue to live their lives.
After all, life is too close and the asteroid belt is too far away.
The only impact is that in recent times, the guards seem to have become more and more strict, and the activities of the resistance forces in various places seem to have become more active and louder. Could it be that they were inspired by the asteroid belt?
Damn it, if I really can't live anymore, I'll join the resistance and do whatever.
I don’t know how many people suddenly discovered that besides struggling to survive, there seemed to be another option in their lives.
…
Illuminati, virtual meeting room.
Wang Qing did not participate in this discussion. In the conference room, Han Yang, Wei Liang and others were all silent, and no one spoke for a long time.
Wang Qing... was arrested again.
Since there was a big mess on Mercury last time, he was caught again.
We tried our best to rescue him last time, but this time...
"Why……"
Wei Liang let out a long sigh and murmured as if talking to himself: "I heard the news that Governor Malentin was furious about the fiasco in the asteroid belt, and Captain Wolfe was furious and demanded severe accountability... …
The key is, Wang Qing, Wang Qing him, how could he make such a mistake? Although the siege was carried out with great momentum, the rebels were defeated by rebels whose strength was far inferior to ours..."
This time, Wei Liang didn't have much desire to save Wang Qing.
One is that this matter is too difficult, and the other is... you have burned a great situation to the ground. What qualifications do you have for an incompetent person like you to be our comrade in arms, and what qualifications do you have for us to run up and down to save you?
We really got it wrong before! Unexpectedly, not only were you unable to contribute to our career, but you actually hindered us!
inability!
Another Illuminati member said: "I also heard news that some members are working together to submit an application to the Illuminati Conference to request Wang Qing's expulsion from membership."
This was to add insult to injury and completely hammer Wang Qing to death.
But this kind of thing is considered normal. After all, our Illuminati is a human elite organization, and only those with sufficient abilities can join. At this moment, reality has proven that you, Wang Qing, are too incompetent. Shouldn't you be fired?
Retaining people like you will only hinder the organization.
There was still silence in the conference room.
After a long time, Han Yang spoke seriously.
He raised his head, his expression full of determination and solemnity.
"This matter is not a crime of war."
Um?
Wei Liang raised his head and looked at Han Yang in surprise.
"The entire responsibility for this matter cannot be placed on Wang Qing."
Han Yang spoke slowly, with an extremely firm tone: "I have carefully studied the entire incident. It should be said that there is no problem with the strategy drawn up by Wang Qing. Facts have also proved that this strategy achieved great results in the early stages.
If those accidents did not happen, it would only be a matter of time before the rebels were wiped out.
But...an accident happened. However, who could have predicted such an unexpected event in advance? Who would have thought that the mysterious arms dealer would suddenly have the ability to support fusion reactors and ion thrusters?
It was this accident that completely ruined the good situation in the asteroid belt. But if it were anyone else, even if it was Captain Wolf who went there in person, would he have expected such an accident?
In my opinion, equally unlikely.
So, why should all the blame be placed on Wang Qing?
It is not a crime of war that I am going to die on this day... In other words, it is not that Wang Qing is incompetent, but that the mysterious arms dealer is too cunning...
Wang Qing was angry. "
Han Yang's tone was solemn and serious, but he was almost smiling in his heart.
"Well done, Chu Feng, Survival Club, well done. They attacked so many factories and plundered an entire planet. It is initially estimated that the loss of various precious materials amounted to millions of tons. Among them, there are probably at least four Half a million tons of supplies were transported away by Chu Feng, right?
With these four to five million tons of materials, it is enough to build 200 cargo ships! There are no more obstacles to developing other asteroids! The remaining supplies allow me to continue building small combat spacecraft to supply them. "
Wei Liang was not aware of Han Yang's inner movements at all. Facing Han Yang's words, he looked complicated: "However, Ceres was lost in Wang Qing's hands. This is always a fact."
As long as this fact exists, no matter how many reasons you have, they will all seem so feeble.
"However, we cannot deny Wang Qing's ability! He is just unlucky and happened to encounter this incident! He is still able to maintain the security of a planet or an asteroid belt, and he is still able to contribute to the cause of human rejuvenation. Make a huge enough contribution!
At this time, it is time for us comrades to stand up and support him, but you are thinking of expelling Wang Qing from his membership? No longer regard him as a comrade? Let me ask, if it were you, would Wang Qing treat you like this? "
Han Yang was impassioned and righteous: "If our Illuminati can only chill people like this, then don't wait for this Illuminati! Also, whether you recognize Wang Qing as a comrade or not, I, Han Yang, will! I will launch I will use all my abilities to save him! I will apply directly to Governor Malentin to intercede for Wang Qing!"
In the past, Han Yang was not qualified to face Marundin directly. But since Han Yang received Marundin's personal comments and was recognized as a "good comrade" by Marundin, Han Yang already had this qualification.
The virtual conference room fell into silence.
Han Yang's words aroused deep thought among the participants. They could not help but be moved and began to think carefully about these words.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Han Yang's words made sense.
Slowly, slowly, a deep feeling of shame slowly rose from the hearts of Wei Liang and others.
"Han Yang, you are right. Our spiritual realm is much worse than yours. In the future, we must also learn from you.
Wang Qing... If you want to save him, you must save him.
That being the case, let us unite once again. "
Han Yang nodded happily: "That's right. Then, first mobilize the power within the meeting, first deal with those comrades who want to expel Wang Qing's membership, convince them, and let them unite in this matter and work together. To save our comrade, Wang Qing, contribute your strength.
After that, I will apply directly to Governor Malentine. I would rather not receive any reward, but also demand that Wang Qing be dealt with leniently.
Let's all unite. I believe that the wise and far-sighted Governor Malunding will be able to see the truth of the matter and restore Wang Qing's innocence! "
In geosynchronous orbit, at the headquarters of Eta Civilization's Solar System Fleet, in the conference room, Commander Witte's face was full of anger. All the officers also had angry expressions on their faces.
"unacceptable!"
Witt slapped the table hard: "In order to frame us, Marentin and his gang dared to do such a thing! They actually allowed the rebels to capture a planet! A planet, since we Since the arrival of Tower Civilization, nothing like this has ever happened!
2,000 guard ships gathered in the asteroid belt, but the rebels took advantage of it and took over! Call it a strategic mistake, call it an accident, what a fool! Who would believe it if they said it was not arranged by themselves? ! "
A senior officer gritted his teeth and said: "Marentin once again rejected our Eta fleet's application to station in the asteroid belt, and his intentions are obvious! Commander, we can't wait any longer, our fleet must make its voice heard. !”
This is a very difficult decision.
After all, Marentin represents the entire colonial government, is the highest official of the entire colonial government, and is the direct superior of the ETA fleet.
Although we have force in our hands, there are too many restrictions. Malentin has ten thousand ways to make himself uncomfortable.
During this period of time, there have been countless overt and covert stumbling blocks. But even so, Witt did not dare to directly disobey Marentin's order.
Now... without permission, he directly enters the asteroid belt and takes over the encirclement and suppression of the rebels?
This decision was really not easy to make. But, if we don’t do this, will we let the dull knife cut our flesh, and let Marentin cut us to death?
"Commander, we can't hesitate any longer!"
"Can't wait any longer!"
Witte pondered for a long time, and his expression gradually became firm: "Okay, then... the ETA fleet is dispatched! The second, third, fourth, and fifth squadrons, a total of 200 warships, set off immediately for the asteroid belt!"
…
When the news reached the Governor's Palace, Malentin was immediately furious.
Without the permission of the governor himself, the Eta fleet acted without permission. Besides cleaning up the aftermath for the rebels and covering up the evidence, what else could be the reason?
In order to hinder the Pluto development strategy and to cover the rebels, this Witte didn't even want to show his face!
"Call Fan Liteng, Wolfe, Shang Lun and others for a meeting!"
Malentin gave the order with a gloomy expression.
The mobilization of Eta's fleet immediately attracted the attention of the entire solar system. I don't know how many people began to feel excited, and I don't know how many people began to panic.
If the Guard can't handle you rebels, how about the ETA fleet? Don't forget, the 400 warships of the Human Space Force, which were equivalent to the combat power of guard ships, were defeated by a mere ETA warship!
The gap in combat power between the two sides is huge, even wider than the gap between the guard ship and the rebel warship.
After receiving the news, Han Yang couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.
No matter what, if we want to liberate the solar system, the ETA fleet will never be able to get around it. But now, our own strength is still too weak, and it is really not the time to face the Eta fleet directly.
It was originally thought that the conflict between Malentin and Witte would exclude the ETA fleet. But now...Did Witt act without authorization, or did they reach an internal reconciliation?
Well, actually no matter what, there is no difference. Because the ETA fleet was dispatched after all.
Although this situation was also expected by Han Yang, he also knew that the resistance army had also considered this possibility. However, this situation was the worst case scenario when it was originally planned.
Now, this worst possibility has become a reality.
Then, the only response plan for the resistance is to try their best to hide.
"I hope I can escape this disaster..."
Han Yang thought silently in his heart.
But with the dispatch of the Eta fleet, before the fleet could reach the asteroid belt, the situation suddenly changed.
Even Han Yang had not expected this change.
The ETA fleet suddenly announced a large-scale personnel transfer. Commander Witte was suddenly dismissed from his post, and the Eta civilization suddenly wanted to recruit him back, and there was another appointment!
Fan Liteng, the former senior counselor of the Governor's Mansion, was appointed as the interim commander of the Eta Fleet by the Eta Civilization. Before the new commander takes office, he will be responsible for all affairs of the entire Eta Fleet!
However, when Fan Liteng took office, the first order he issued was to immediately summon the ETA fleet to return to the headquarters, and immediately launch an overall self-examination operation from top to bottom!
All kinds of changes are so fast that it is dizzying and dazzling. In just two days, the dust has settled.
When this news came, all the resistance leaders in the asteroid belt, including Chu Feng, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
Chu Feng even cursed: "Damn it, these Eta dogs, why do they jump out and scare people when they have nothing to do? They scare people to death."
To be honest, he is not actually afraid of the Eta fleet.
No matter how difficult the situation was, what happened to the ETA fleet? It's just that the conditions are more difficult, the brothers hide deeper, and more people die.
But now that the Eta fleet is no longer coming, we can avoid many fearless sacrifices, which is of course also a good thing.
In particular, if the Eta fleet does not come, our own space will be much larger. Taking advantage of this time, I can do a lot of things.
Such as disposing of the seizures in hand, such as finding a hiding place to hide as soon as possible.
Witt resigned sadly and could only board the latest interstellar cargo ship returning to the Eta galaxy to return to the homeland of civilization.
ETA Fleet Headquarters. Many officers stood solemnly, like javelins. The air is full of tragic atmosphere. In front of him was Wit, who was wearing regular clothes and had slightly gray hair.
Ever since he received the order to be dismissed, his hair turned gray overnight.
Now, facing these subordinates of his, Witt had thousands of words to say in his heart, but in the end he only turned into a long sigh.
"Commander Fan Liteng is about to take office, everyone... just take care of yourself."
Shaking his head, Witt turned and left, leaving this sad place.
After receiving the news that Witte had left the headquarters, Marentin let out a sigh of relief and finally felt a little more relaxed. After relaxing, he was full of irritation.
The matter was so urgent that he had to use some special means to achieve the purpose of dismissing Witt in a short period of time. But we also paid a huge price for this.
Thinking back on it now, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Fan Liteng, after you take office, investigate vigorously and carefully, and be sure to establish evidence that Wit is secretly aiding the rebels!
Witte's departure was so sudden, they definitely didn't have time to clean up the evidence!
After you have complete control of the fleet in your own hands, it will be time for the fleet to be dispatched to completely wipe out the rebels! "
Fan Liteng looked solemn: "Yes, I understand!"
Fan Liteng took office smoothly.
But... after a lot of fuss, when Fan Liteng's final investigation results were placed in front of Marundin, Wolfe and others, everyone fell silent.
