As soon as I opened my eyes, my avatar was gone [Interstellar]

There was no sound in the bridge of the flagship of the Bell Tower Fleet.

"The Seychelles...no response, confirm the damage!" The correspondent turned his head to look at the fleet commander. Like all the officers and soldiers on the bridge, his heart was full of apprehension and fear.

After joining the army for so long, he has never seen a weapon that can penetrate the shield and armor of a ship in an instant and destroy the ship with a single blow.

Although the shield and armor of the destroyer are not as good as those of the capital ship, they are not enough to be killed in one blow. Facing such a powerful unknown weapon, the soldiers of the Federation will inevitably be a little shaken.

The enemy has not yet shown up, and the atmosphere on the bridge is visibly heavy.

Such a lifeless appearance is not suitable for combat.

The flagship's first officer knew this well, and he immediately stood up from his seat and walked towards the fleet commander.

The commander stared at the wreckage of the escort destroyer after the explosion, his mouth was slightly opened, his eyes were wide open, and he did not respond for a long time.

"Sir!" The first mate came to him, "Please give me the next step instructions!"

The most important thing for a fleet is the commander.

The commander is not only responsible for making decisions about the movement of the entire fleet, but also an excellent commander will also be able to mobilize the combat mood of the fleet.

Soldiers with firm will and passion may play an unexpected role on the battlefield; on the contrary, once depression spreads in the fleet, it is not far from losing the war.

The first officer obviously noticed that the commander's mood was wrong, and the commander seemed to be in shock.

If even the commander is at a loss, what is their fleet fighting for?

So, the first officer hurriedly tried to wake up the other party.

"Sir! Sir!" The first officer yelled a lot, and the commander of the Federation Fleet turned his head to look at him in a daze.

The commander's body unexpectedly trembled slightly.

"Sir, please give me an order!" The first mate was very anxious.

The next bombardment will come at an unknown time, but the entire fleet is still here foolishly waiting to be a living target.

"No, it's impossible, how could it be possible to penetrate our escort destroyer at once...?" The commander seemed not to have heard his words.

"Sir!" Although the first officer was anxious, there was nothing he could do.

The rank system in the army is strict, and as the first officer, it is impossible for him to challenge the authority of the commander.

And the entire fleet, according to military regulations, must obey the commander's orders.

But...is the commander's current appearance really suitable for commanding operations?

The first officer remembered a rumor in the army.

The commander-in-chief of the fleet appointed by the Federation this time is said to be the younger brother of the prime minister's wife. He is ordinary in terms of military achievements and word-of-mouth, and he has taken the position of commander-in-chief at such a young age. If there is no support from the prime minister behind him, many people are not happy. believable.

Now that he has taken the position of commander-in-chief, he has to assume the responsibility of commanding the fleet, but at the critical moment, he looks like this. Is he planning to let the entire fleet die with him! ?

A puff of anger flared up in the first mate's chest.

The commander's heart was still about to collapse.

He wasn't an excellent officer in the first place. His sister asked her brother-in-law to take this position, saying that her brother-in-law would arrange someone to assist him in the army. Don't worry, as long as you are a good vase commander, just sit back and reap the military merits. up.

But what about the person arranged by brother-in-law?

If he really can't beat the alien life form, that racial force called Niluk, then... what will happen to him?

The more the commander thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Sir!" The first officer tried again to bring the commander's consciousness back to the battlefield, but undoubtedly failed again.

Everyone on the bridge looked at the commander sitting on the captain's seat. When they needed the highest command of the fleet most, this man lost the chain.

Just when the situation was deadlocked, the gate of the bridge opened.

A middle-aged man in the uniform of a high-ranking officer of the Berta Federation walked in quickly.

Behind him, followed by two adjutants.

Christian Martin, one of the most famous generals in the Federation, has achieved excellent results in many combat missions.

Everyone thought that he would be the undoubted commander of the Federation Fleet, but they didn't expect a commander to be airborne, and Admiral Martin was only acting as the second-in-command.

Admiral Martin's ship, the Briffin, as one of the main ships of the fleet, has been following behind the tail of the flagship.

After witnessing the destruction of the destroyer by the beam weapon, Christian Martin immediately took the shuttle to the flagship.

Before the fleet set off, Martin already had a vague premonition that such a situation would happen.

The younger brother of the prime minister's wife is a lump of mud that cannot support the wall.

Only the prime minister's wife still has expectations for him.

Your Excellency the Prime Minister gave his brother-in-law the position of commander because he couldn't resist his wife's stalking.In fact, he also understands that his brother-in-law doesn't have much military talent.

Therefore, just in case, he appointed Admiral Martin as the deputy commander, and told the other party to keep a close eye on his brother-in-law. If special circumstances arise, he can deprive him of his command in the name of the prime minister.

Although the Federation is a parliamentary democracy in name, it is actually similar to the empire next door, and the real power is basically in the hands of the prime minister.

The appointment of officials, the prime minister can also fully intervene.

Therefore, the prime minister's brother-in-law, who had little talent, was appointed to the position of fleet commander, while Admiral Martin, who had outstanding ability and high prestige in the army, could only be the second-in-command.

Of course, it is impossible for Martin to have no complaints, it's just that it's not easy to explode in front of the Prime Minister.

At this time, he was far away from the federal capital and the sky was far away from the emperor, so he naturally didn't care about the identity of the frightened fleet commander or the prime minister's brother-in-law.

"Take him down, isn't it embarrassing enough to put such a person on the bridge?" Martin looked coldly at the trembling commander in the captain's chair.

"But, but..." There were officers and soldiers on the bridge who were afraid of the forces of the Prime Minister's faction, hesitant to Admiral Martin's decision.

"No but!" Martin scolded angrily, "A fleet doesn't need two commanders, unless you want to die here with this wretch."

Normally, the fleet commander would have cursed when he heard Martin say this, but at this time, he wished to transfer the command to Martin as soon as possible.

If he wins, he can pretend to make excuses, and maybe he can get a piece of military merit. If he loses, he can completely blame Martin.

The commander has already planned to go to the escape cabin first after handing over the command, and if he finds that the situation is not good, he will run away with oil on his feet.

That's right, that's it, nothing to be afraid of.Look, isn't this the way to go?

Thinking of this, the commander still sat on the captain's seat, resumed his usual high-spirited appearance and said, "I'm not feeling well now, and I need to leave the bridge for a while to rest, and the command will be handed over to the deputy commander, Admiral Martin, according to regulations."

However, Martin seemed to have expected that he would do this a long time ago, and ordered to the adjutant behind him: "Please 'invite' the commander back to the captain's room, and send someone to watch it strictly."

"Yes!"

The adjutant had followed Admiral Martin for many years, and he had long been displeased with the way the fleet commander swaggered in the army because his sister was the prime minister's wife.

How much ability to do big things, such a person sits in the position of commander, and many people under him have long been unhappy.

"You can't do this! You have no right to restrict my freedom! I am the commander of the fleet, and you are just a second-in-command!" The commander immediately came back to life when he heard that Martin was under house arrest in disguise, "Admiral Martin, no chance Detaining the superior officer without reason, are you trying to rebel!?"

Martin didn't bother arguing with him at all, but because of this guy, the atmosphere on the bridge is very depressed now, and he had to give the officers and soldiers a shot in the arm, so he said coldly: "Don't you, Commander, leave the bridge? Are you going back to the captain's cabin to rest? Or do you want to go to the escape cabin?"

The commander was caught in his mind, and panicked: "Who, who is going to the escape pod?"

"The Federation doesn't need a commander who has the idea of ​​fleeing the battle." Martin said, "So, please go back to the captain's room to 'rest' first."

The commander cursed so hard that Martin's adjutant took him away.

Admiral Martin sighed.

Your Excellency the Prime Minister should have expected this situation at the beginning, so he ordered him to be the second-in-command, leading his troops to follow closely behind the flagship of the fleet.

Although the command came to Martin, he was not happy.

In the battle of a country, the position of the fleet commander directly affects the success or failure of the war.

Even if Your Excellency the Prime Minister has placed such an insurance on him for the position of command, but it is only because of Madam's nonsense that she will hand over such an important position to someone who is completely incompetent, and Your Excellency the Prime Minister will too much regard the Federation as a country where you can do whatever you want up.

The prime minister was born as a traditional politician, and he was able to do a job with ease in the federal high-level circle. When they might still be fighting for a little bit of power in the rear, the federal soldiers were fighting bloody battles on the front line.

A federation like this is still delusional about going to war with the obviously much stronger empire next door, and even fantasizing about winning the war.

The Prime Minister was afraid that he would be fooled every day by those arms dealers who wanted to go to war with the empire and make a fortune through war.

Or, there was some unknown transaction between them.

Martin didn't want to participate in the politics of the Federation. After cursing a few words in his heart, he firmed his eyes.

Right now, the most important thing is to lead the fleet to defend against foreign enemies.

Behind them is the large star field of Berta, and the territory must not be caught in an alien invasion.

"The whole army is dispersed, and the outpost ship released the scout ship." Martin sat on the captain's seat.

Admiral Martin's words seemed like a reassurance to the bridge personnel.

Finally, there is a commander with a clear mind.

"All ships, concentrate the energy of the engines on the shields." Martin continued to order, "The opponent's weapons are very penetrating. Before the enemy fleet is detected, keep the shields at their maximum power!"

"Yes!"

The bridge of the fleet flagship resumed normal operation, and everyone was busy.

The beam weapon just now can penetrate the escort destroyer at once. There is a very important reason, that is, the non-combat state of the spacecraft, the engine is partly powered by the weapon system, power system, life support system and other aspects, and the shield is not 100. % charge status.

After seeing the power of that weapon, Martin immediately decided that the entire fleet must be in a state of complete defense.

Martin has also read the public reports of the empire, and the alien life forms that would make the empire so hyped up are definitely not groundless.

Only when the prime minister's brain is pumped can he paralyze himself. In fact, this matter has already caused an uproar on the star network.

The Niluk people....No matter what their background is, Admiral Martin is determined to intercept them here.

The territory of the Federation will not let them go one step further!

The author has something to say: The Federal Prime Minister is the kind of person who is easily deceived by interests~~

The Federation is going to war with Niluk~
