Xia Chujian is not a stubborn person.
She doesn't like to do things that she knows are wrong.
In her view, that was not noble, but stupid.
If you want to do something without the conditions, you need to create the conditions first and then execute it.
Instead of hitting the wall even though you clearly don't have the conditions.
It's fine if he gets himself bruised and bloody, but he wants to take someone else's life. What kind of brain is that?!
After Xia Chujian finished speaking, his eyes slowly swept over everyone in the warehouse hall on the bottom floor of the five airships.
"If you don't agree, I won't force you. I'm going back anyway."
At this time, Sun Jiahao, Li Dali and other marines from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet immediately said, "Let's follow the captain!"
"If the captain says to retreat, we'll retreat! Besides, this battle is truly unwinnable!"
"Letting us fight is like sending ourselves to die as cannon fodder!"
After hearing what Sun Jiahao, Li Dali and others said, the 500 survivors of the First Interstellar Fleet all looked unhappy.
Because these survivors remembered their commander Chu Qingchen.
He didn't tell them to retreat at that time, but forced them to "fight to the end"!
Fang Ping's expression was complicated as he whispered, "But Captain Xia, those Shangren and Haidagon are targeting our Beichen Empire. Now that we're here, can't we find a way to capture them all in one fell swoop?!"
Another agitated Marine added, "How can you even talk about morality with a group of thugs who have already planned to come to your house, occupy your home, and eat your family?!"
Xia Chujian admired their courage and determination, but she was the commander and could not command the battle based solely on her own courage.
Now the lives of 15,000 people are in her hands, so she has to be cautious.
Xia Chujian said calmly, "I completely agree with what you said."
"I understand these Sadang and Haidagon better than you do. If they invade our country, our families and friends will suffer a terrible fate!"
"I don't think we can't take preemptive action just because they haven't invaded yet and haven't fired the first shot!"
"But the premise is, do we have the conditions and means to take the initiative?"
"Even if we sacrifice all 15,000 of our lives, can we kill 40,000 of the enemy's mortals and 50,000 Haidagons?!"
Xia Chujian glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "More importantly, I've discovered that the weapons in the hands of these Shangren and Haidagon are gradually being upgraded."
"To be honest, I've already killed 10,000 Shang people and 10,000 Haidagons in Antarctica."
"I won't go into detail about the specific process, because it was completely coincidental and I was able to take advantage of the opportunity."
"At that time, the weapons in the hands of the Shang people and Haidagon were not as advanced as those in the three surprise attacks today."
"The rifles in the hands of the Antarctic warriors are old-fashioned Type 37 rifles, which have been eliminated in our country for 90 years."
"This type of gun has a short range, and the explosive power and impact of the bullets are not strong. Our conventional mechas can completely withstand it without any damage."
"But you also saw the weapons in the hands of those three groups of Shang people and Haidagon who attacked just now..."
"That's the latest weapon produced by the Simonelli Federation!"
"It's in the same range as the new weapons produced by our Beichen Empire's Zong Military Industry and Royal Heavy Industry."
"What if the weapons in the hands of the remaining 40,000 or so Shang people and the 50,000 Haidagon are more advanced?"
"What if they even have a batch of space-based weapons?!"
"Then even if we return to the Star Cruiser, we may not be able to return safely!"
"So at this time, we can't hesitate any longer and return home quickly!"
"When we return to the Beichen Empire, we will report the entire situation to the military."
"If you still want to fight again, sign up with the military then."
As the commander, Xia Chujian actually doesn't need to explain in such detail.
It's the army again, so you just need to give orders to your subordinates.
But this was her first time commanding so many people, and her position as commander-in-chief was self-appointed, not a real power granted by the military.
So she patiently explained to these people.
This explanation took her ten minutes.
But within these ten minutes, the situation on the battlefield changed again.
On her eyepiece display, Qi Lu quickly typed out a series of naughty child graffiti fonts.
Qilu: Master, run! The Shangren and Haidagon armies have arrived!
Qilu: Master, it's too late! Qilu has already taken direct control of the airship!
Just after reading these two lines, the five interstellar airships suddenly shook at the same time, and then accelerated suddenly, causing everyone in the airships to fall all over the place, obviously unable to stand steadily due to the sudden inertia.
Xia Chujian's face turned pale.
She knew that the balance and gravity systems in this interstellar airship were very complete.
No matter how fast the speed is, this phenomenon should not occur unless the speed has exceeded the expected range of variation.
She suddenly turned off the intercom, disconnecting the internal communication system, and her figure disappeared from the virtual display.
Xia Chujian stood in front of the main console in his captain's room and said angrily, "Qilu! What are you doing?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire interstellar airship shook again, as if it was lifted high up by something and then fell down again.
Qi Lu didn't have time to explain, so he just projected the situation outside onto the physical display screen that was rising slowly in front of Xia Chumian.
This is the largest physical display screen in the captain's room, three meters long and one meter high.
Xia Chujian's eyes suddenly widened.
She saw a huge deep pit appearing less than ten meters in front of their airship!
