One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty-Seven Jupiter Victory

。

Wu Han was so excited that he quickly wrote a passage that was destined to go down in history:

Joint Command, Beidu Command Center, Beiyuezhou Command: Our troops and friendly forces were ordered to go on an expedition to Jupiter. After an arduous battle, the expeditionary force bombed Europa on November 22, 2032, destroying the enemy's last stronghold on Jupiter. In this battle, our army smashed Europa with a super nuclear bomb; severely damaged Ganymede and Callisto; the battle destroyed more than 600 enemy ships and killed countless enemy troops...

The Fifth Fleet of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Commander: Huo Qiang.

The news of victory pierced the sky with radio waves, and moved unswervingly towards the earth five astronomical units away. More than 40 minutes later, Beiyuezhou, various space stations and ground communication stations received communications from Jupiter at the same time.

Jupiter victory!

Everyone who saw this opening was stunned. They couldn't imagine what kind of dedication and sacrifice were behind these four words, but they understood what these four heavy words represented! An indescribable feeling surged into everyone's heart, like a bottle of five flavors overturned. Countless memories flashed one by one, and the long-dried eye sockets were moistened again, and the uncontrollable tears slid down the face.

Jupiter victory!

The news was immediately delivered to the top officials of various countries. The calm senior officials were as excited as children. They cheered, they jumped for joy, they congratulated each other, they were excited, they wished that time could go back, they wished they could join the expeditionary force in person, and they hated that they could not witness the moment of destroying victory with their own eyes.

Jupiter victory!

All countries immediately announced the news. Whether it was the military or the civilians, regardless of nationality and belief, anyone who heard the news cheered instinctively, but the cheers turned into sadness in an instant. People shed tears, cursed, and roared, venting their excitement in various ways.

Although this was not a complete victory over the aliens, although this was not the final victory, and although the enemy was still strong, this battle was the most glorious victory of mankind so far.

Humanity paid too much in this war. The global population dropped by half, countless homes were destroyed, and billions of people left their homes...

More than a decade of bloody battles, more than a decade of displacement, everyone who has survived to this day has a bloody history that is difficult to recall; everyone who has survived to this day has relatives and friends who died under the iron hoof of aliens; everyone who has survived to this day has an irreconcilable hatred with aliens, and they wish to eat their flesh and sleep on their skins. Even if they are torn into pieces and their bones are crushed and ashes are scattered, they cannot relieve the hatred in their hearts.

However, the top leaders of various countries clearly realized that,

Although the victory on Jupiter has extremely important practical significance, a battle cannot change the overall situation of the enemy being strong and we being weak. Compared with the powerful aliens, humans are still in a weak position. Such a situation cannot be reversed by a war or several wars.

The enemy is still strong, the situation is still grim, and victory is still far away.

In order to prevent the public from exaggerating the role of the Jupiter Campaign, all countries took action to put out the fire. On the one hand, they affirmed the positive significance of the Jupiter Campaign; on the other hand, they emphasized that it was a long and arduous task to defeat the aliens, and it required the unremitting joint efforts of all mankind.

At the beginning, the intervention of various countries in public opinion was not in-depth, but the situation soon changed. The media trend underwent a fundamental change, from focusing on describing the victory of the expedition fleet to focusing on the arduous and outstanding expeditions. The just-concluded fifth expedition was the focus of the focus. Every battle and every sacrifice were repeatedly mentioned.

It was not until this time that ordinary people knew how much the military paid for victory.

Soon after, the details of the Jupiter Campaign were also disclosed by bad media, which not only included the detailed process of the Jupiter Campaign, but also explained the luring of the enemy and strategic deception in the early stage of the campaign.

Many people broke out in a cold sweat after reading the report. It turned out that the Battle of Jupiter almost died halfway. It turned out that the military had emptied the Earth's fleet in order to win this battle. It turned out that there were so many unknown facts...

Some people understand the actions of the top leaders and the military, while others disagree with all this. Some people are furious about this, believing that the top leaders and the military are simply taking strategic risks and gambling with the safety of all mankind.

Although the Battle of Jupiter was won, it cannot change the fact that the top leaders and the military ignored the safety of the people. There are also many people who criticize the top leaders of various countries for this. If countries have not been in a wartime mechanism and governments are not allowed to fall, it is unknown how many governments of countries will collapse.

However, no top leaders of various countries stood up to speak for themselves, because this is a war, a life-and-death war. The top leaders of various countries can only formulate strategic directions and cannot interfere with how the military makes decisions.

Let professionals do professional things. Politicians are just politicians and can never replace professional soldiers.

But right now, there is a life-and-death news in front of the top leaders of various countries, leaving them no time to care about the undercurrents in the people.

Although the battle of Jupiter was won, the war was not over yet. Not only was there an alien fleet near Jupiter, but more than a thousand enemy ships from Saturn were approaching Jupiter aggressively.

This was a force that the expeditionary force could not match. The human leaders had only two choices. One was to stop the enemy with all their strength even though they knew they could not win, so as to buy time for the Earth and mankind.

But humans now have so little wealth. In addition to the expeditionary fleet, there are only the Nanzhou fleet and the warships built in the past few months. If the expeditionary fleet is defeated, it will almost break the backbone of mankind. The remaining warships will not be able to stop the enemy anyway, and the defeat of mankind will be inevitable.

The second is to preserve strength, exchange space for time, and order the expeditionary army to retreat in big strides.

And there are two options for retreat. One is to not resist at all, return to the earth at the fastest speed, concentrate all the space forces of mankind near the earth, wait for the enemy with ease, and finally fight a war that determines the survival of mankind.

The second is to resist step by step, and delay for a minute. As long as you don’t confront the enemy head-on, even if the enemy has more than a thousand warships, they can’t do anything to the expeditionary fleet in a short time.

Everyone chose the latter without any prior agreement, but can the fleet be concentrated on the earth to stop the huge alien fleet? The answer is obviously no.

The leaders of various countries finally made the most rational choice. On the one hand, they ordered the fleet to resist step by step and buy as much time as possible while ensuring their own safety; on the other hand, all countries immediately began to prepare for war... You can't put all your eggs in one basket. Everyone knows this. Now, it's time to move some eggs out.
