One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty-Nine Cannot Leave the Meeting Room

Huo Qiang nodded immediately: "Okay, I will also draw warships to form a battle group. In view of the serious consumption of ammunition on each ship, I think we can mobilize supplies from other warships that are not involved in the interception, especially nuclear bombs and super shotgun shells. What do you think?"

Halsey said: "I agree!"

"Very good." Huo Qiang pulled the corner of his mouth, "Then let's start the action. I still have some internal situations to explain. After the meeting, I will transfer the warships to you."

Having said this, what else can Halsey say?

The meeting officially ended, Halsey left immediately, and the captains from the international fleet followed one after another. The virtual conference room was half empty in a blink of an eye.

All the outsiders left, and everyone's mood relaxed a little, but Huo Qiang's expression not only did not ease, but became more serious: "Now let's have our own internal meeting. As for the fleet, we have just said what we should say. Another point is the issue of withdrawing the fleet, Chief of Staff?"

"Here!" Wu Han responded quickly.

"You will take the lead and select the best warships to form a battle group. Weapons, equipment and supplies will be drawn from the entire fleet. Make sure they are fully equipped and fully staffed!"

"Yes!"

Huo Qiang added: "There is another thing to inform everyone. This matter will only be reported to the captain level. Not a single word can be spread out of this conference room. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone said in unison.

Although everyone didn't know what Huo Qiang was going to say, since he could give everyone a shot in advance, its importance was naturally unquestionable.

Huo Qiang's face was so gloomy that water almost dripped out: "I won't beat around the bush. To put it simply, the superiors believe that the situation we are facing is more severe than any previous period. With the current strength of the human fleet, it is simply impossible to stop the enemy from Saturn, so the superiors have made the worst plan and are ready to launch the doomsday plan."

Except for Zhuang Bo and Wu Han, everyone looked confused.

Huo Qiang said: "You may not be very clear about the doomsday plan. In fact, it is an advanced version of the "fortification and clearing of the countryside". There are two things related to us. One is that the military must be prepared to fight against the alien fleet. As for how to prepare, it has nothing to do with us; the second is that the superiors decide to evacuate important personnel."

"Evacuate? How to evacuate?" A captain asked in surprise.

Huo Qiang said: "The basic principle is that the most important thing is to evacuate to Mercury,

The next level is to evacuate Beiyuezhou, and the next level is to evacuate key underground bases. Others can only be ordinary underground bases and underwater bases."

After saying this, everyone had a 70% understanding in their hearts. One of the captains then asked: "What counts as an important person?"

Huo Qiang shook his head: "I am not particularly clear about this. I think the first level should at least include senior officials, technical experts, manufacturing masters, and other particularly important personnel, such as Ye Han's grandfather."

"My wife's grandfather." Ye Han corrected.

"Same." Huo Qiang said, "The Mercury base is limited in size, and it can't accept too many people. It's hard to say how many people can go there in the end."

"What about the family members of the first level?" Another captain asked.

"It should be considered the second level, evacuated to Beiyuezhou." Huo Qiang said, "Situations like you and me belong to the second level, and your family members can be evacuated to Beiyuezhou first... The captain's situation is special, and the higher-ups have given him special treatment. The families of all crew members belong to this level."

"Can this situation be conveyed to the soldiers?"

"Not for the time being, I've said, not a word can leave this conference room." Huo Qiang's expression suddenly became extremely stern, "Don't you think about what the consequences will be if the news gets out?"

No one spoke now, everyone was not stupid, although the scale of the two major bases on the moon was not small, but now the entire army has tens of millions of troops, and the military families are not 100 million, but 70 to 80 million, and the country simply can't take all so many people to Beiyuezhou.

If the news leaks out, it will inevitably cause chaos among the people, and even the army may be in chaos... Thinking of this, everyone's expression changed.

The country's rationing system has always been very fair. To put it simply, it is distributed according to contribution. If there is no contribution, there will only be basic rationing.

This system maximizes the country's potential. Today, the domestic people have long adapted to this lifestyle.

But this does not mean that the people can still remain calm at the critical moment of life and death. If ordinary people who are not eligible to evacuate the earth know this news, how will they react?

Since ancient times, people have always been worried about inequality rather than scarcity. Even if the country still selects personnel based on the amount of contribution this time, who can guarantee that there are no unqualified people among them?

Chaos is certain, but to what extent? After ordinary people are in chaos, will the army also be in chaos?

The power comes from the barrel of a gun. If even the army is in chaos, what will this country eventually become?

But soldiers are also people. As vested interests, even if they don't think about themselves, they have to think about their families.

It is undeniable that some people at the meeting did consider giving up their right to withdraw to Beiyuezhou, but the army today is so huge that the giving up of one or a few people is simply a drop in the bucket and has no effect at all. Moreover, if you give up and others do not, does that mean that you are the only one who is selfless and everyone else is selfish?

As a mature soldier, a mature man, a mature husband and father, everyone remained silent.

Growing up means no longer being naive, and maturity means no longer being simple. Even if everyone hates themselves like this, they have to compromise for the safety of their families.

Finally, a voice broke the silence: "The higher-ups have done this a long time ago, haven't they? My family has been in Beiyuezhou for a long time. What about you?"

"Me too." said another captain.

"I didn't!" said a captain, "If the aliens really attack, the moon may not be safe."

Everyone was silent again after hearing this. It seemed that no matter what choice they made, they could not escape the danger unless they left the Earth-Moon system and went to the Mercury base.

But Huo Qiang made it clear that only the most important personnel could be evacuated to the Mercury base. Everyone asked themselves, their families could not reach that level, so they could only give up this idea.

Moreover, Mercury is right next to the sun, and the environment is much worse than the moon. It is safe to evacuate there, but what about the living conditions?

Besides, if the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs intact. If the aliens defeat humans and take over the earth and the moon, they will definitely not let the remaining humans occupy Mercury.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that where to evacuate is not a particularly important matter. Instead of thinking about where to hide to survive, it is better to seize the time and spend some time with the family who are rarely together. < () "Shell Frenzy" only represents the author Metal Crack's point of view.
