The Allied Forces' First Fleet chose to surrender. This news not only spread throughout the battlefield in a short period of time, but also reached the Second Fleet, which had just dispatched giant spaceships and was planning to "recapture" Mingyuan Star.
"What? The First Fleet surrendered? What the hell are they doing?"
On the bridge of the Second Fleet's flagship, Davis Yuheng's expression suddenly changed when he heard the news. Even his original desire to wait until Mingyuan Star was perfectly "recaptured" so that he could set foot on the planet with his own feet and celebrate disappeared in an instant.
"The Third Fleet was completely wiped out, and the First Fleet also lost more than half of its troops. Lin Tao not only has a huge mecha that can sink a giant spaceship, but also has more than a thousand small mechas that can also sink a giant spaceship. The commander-in-chief believes that they are no match."
The captain of the flagship looked embarrassed, as he had heard all this information from the captains of some escaping starships.
"But there's no need to surrender, can't we just stop fighting?" Davis Yuheng frowned.
The captain of the flagship sighed heavily and said nothing more.
As the captain of a ship, he also understood the feelings of the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet, but facing the Davis family, he could not say these words.
"Master Yuheng, should we respond to the commander-in-chief, or leave here immediately?" After a moment, seeing Davis Yuheng frowning and remaining silent, the captain hurriedly urged. There was not much time left. After the First Fleet surrendered, it would soon be taken under the command of Lin Tao. If they were to attack back at that time, even if they "recaptured" Mingyuan Star, they would end up like the Third Fleet.
Lin Tao's mecha is capable of sinking giant starry sky warships.
Davis Yuheng remained silent for a long time. At this time, hundreds of giant starry ships had entered Mingyuan Star. If they left, those giant starry ships would have to return to the starry sky.
The space-time jump of the space giant ship cannot be launched inside the planet.
After a while.
Davis Yuheng looked at Ming Yuanxing again on the big screen of the bridge. At this moment, he felt how ironic it was that Ming Yuanxing had surrendered.
Without sending any troops, the other party surrendered on their own. This was definitely a strategy! However, Davis Yuheng understood that he had no way to use this planet to reverse the situation.
Are you going to destroy this planet? Davis Yuheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze flashed.
Lin Tao is stationed in the Mingyuan star field. Mingyuan Star is their important supply location. Even if the No. 5 mining star is suitable for living, it will take at least dozens or hundreds of years to change it from a mining star to a habitable planet.
The captain of the flagship could naturally see what he was thinking, and was terrified: "Master Yuheng, if you attack this planet, the Interstellar Federation will severely punish our Davis family when we return."
This planet, under the leadership of the Star Mansion, has announced its surrender. If they forcibly destroy it in order to leave no supply base for Lin Tao's side, it is estimated that the Interstellar Federation will liquidate against the Davis family afterwards.
This is not just a verbal punishment. It will definitely damage the interests of the Davis family and may even bring the Davis family down from the altar of a wealthy family.
This was definitely an unbearable blow to the Davis family.
"I understand." Davis Yuheng gritted his teeth and said with a sullen face, "Immediately get the fleet back to the starry sky. All fleets should prepare for a space-time jump."
The 500 starships of the Second Fleet are basically all from the Davis family.
Even if he loses the war, as long as he can preserve these 500 giant starships, his position will remain intact. Otherwise, after returning, he, Davis Yuheng, will end up like the commander-in-chief.
Unless... he also chooses to surrender.
The order was issued, and in less than half an hour, one hundred giant starships returned to the starry sky again.
Without waiting for Lin Tao and others to come over, the 500 giant starry ships of the second fleet had already opened the super-time and space channel and disappeared directly in this star field.
The commander-in-chief of the First Fleet decided to surrender, and the news spread back to the three major families.
Bang! Clank!
The head of the Liu family had red eyes, and he threw everything he could to the ground, turning it into pieces.
The head of the Zhao family had already turned pale, and he sat there in a daze, not saying a word.
The head of the Davis family was also in a very bad mood. Fortunately, one of the younger generations sent out this time secretly sent back a message through a watch that their Davis family had brought back 500 giant starry sky ships intact, which made him feel a little relieved.
However, at this time, the head of the Davis family naturally would not show any joy. A war that was carefully prepared and fully planned had an unexpected result. Not only was he defeated, but even the commander-in-chief of the fleet decided to order a surrender.
Surrender is different from an armistice.
After the ceasefire, both sides can also recover the starry sky warships and the wreckage on the battlefield.
However, the meaning of surrender is different. It means that the people under your command not only surrender to the other camp with the Starry Sky Giant Ship and the mecha divisions inside the Starry Sky Giant Ship, but even the wreckage on the battlefield cannot be collected back.
This is still an understatement. If the other party is strong, then they will have to take responsibility for the war and make various overt and covert compensations.
Interstellar Federation, capital planet.
"Surrender?" The old man who had been paying attention to the news on the battlefield narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. As a high-ranking official of the Interstellar Federation, he knew very well what surrender meant.
After a while, he finally let out a long sigh: "Surrender may not be a bad thing."
The man Feihang and the beautiful woman Wanxin were both shocked.
The five giants, video conference.
"Choose to surrender?"
"It seems that the three great families attach great importance to this war, and the commander-in-chief cannot bear the blow of failure."
"Well, it seems that it will be difficult for us to find a qualified fleet commander in chief in the future."
"The Liu family, the Zhao family, the Davis family, hehe..."
"Some people lost, but some people won because of it." This was said by the Chen family, one of the eight wealthy families and also one of the oldest wealthy families.
After the Chen family's patriarch finished speaking, he glanced at the Lin family's patriarch calmly, then fell silent, with a hint of intrigue in his expression.
Lin Tao is a descendant of the Lin family.
The major wealthy and powerful forces have already figured out the situation thoroughly, but all parties have chosen to remain silent.
Most of the forces that can become wealthy and powerful have experienced a lot, and are well aware of their family's misdeeds. People like Lin Tao either return to their original family or become a pawn of other families.
Judging from the Lin family’s current actions, the latter may be the majority.
What the wealthy families value more is Lin Tao's ability, a mecha designer who can design a mecha that can sink a giant starry ship. This is a role that even the Interstellar Federation has to compete for.
Having said that, the head of the Chen family also plans to give those so-called top mecha designers under his command a warning after he returns.
All the family heads present had similar thoughts.
Star Pirates Headquarters.
He was not surprised when he heard the surrender message from the commander-in-chief of the Allied First Fleet.
The departure of Mr. Kuang has already shown that this war is infinitely biased towards Lin Tao's forces. However, he really wants to know whether Lin Tao is an enemy or a friend to their Star Pirates Headquarters.
While thinking this, Du Yu also quickly counted the number of star pirates' giant star ships sent out this time.
"Well, their losses are almost over. Next, we should be able to unify the Star Pirates' headquarters."
There were only five hundred ships left. Du Yu waved his hand and immediately a trusted subordinate came over.
"Calling all the captains of the Star Pirates, we need to have a video conference."
…
Surrendering along with the First Fleet was a group of about four hundred giant spaceships, as well as the mecha divisions and a group of giant spaceship staff.
Zheng Tuo reacted very quickly. Almost at the same time as he received the surrender message, he met with the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces.
Not long after, after the two sides agreed on the rules of surrender, the commander-in-chief sat under the flagship and brought nearly four hundred giant star ships to the vicinity of Mingyuan Star.
Ming Yuanxing at this time was still the same as usual. Even when Lin Tao just arrived, he had already received congratulations from Zheng Kaichou.
Lin Tao's heart was not here, and under Zheng Tuo's arrangement, he met with the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
"Are you the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces this time?"
The person who appeared in front of him was a man over fifty years old, but at this moment he looked very old, as if he had aged several decades in an instant, which made people sigh in their hearts.
As the loser in the war, the commander-in-chief still showed a full attitude.
"If I lose, I lose. I have nothing to explain." After a pause, he raised his head and stared at Lin Tao: "I hope that if the people under my command are willing to work on the Starry Sky Battleship, you will not make things difficult for them."
"I can agree to your request." Lin Tao nodded.
At this time in Mingyuan Star, people who can operate giant starships are extremely scarce. If the other party sincerely surrenders, he does not mind continuing to employ him.
Even though Lin Tao can now sink the opponent's giant starry sky ship with a single mecha, if he wants to carry out long-distance transmission in the starry sky, as well as cargo transportation and mecha delivery, he still needs to use a giant starry sky ship.
Until now, Mingyuan Star only has one spaceship, and this is only through Zheng Kaichou's relationship and the tacit approval of the upper echelons of the Interstellar Federation. It is precisely because there is only one spaceship that only a part of the machines they produced on the No. 5 mining star can participate in the war.
Otherwise, with the number of mechas that Lin Tao currently possesses, they can send out at least four thousand Extreme Wind Phoenixes to fight.
Seeing Lin Tao nod, the commander-in-chief's tense heart finally relaxed.
"Although I promised you, you also have to understand that the people who will be in charge of these 400 starships will be arranged by me personally, and you will have to assist them from now on." Lin Tao said.
Although he agreed, if he wanted to control these 400 giant starships in the shortest time, he had to arrange his own talents.
The commander-in-chief was clear-headed. He sighed and nodded heavily.
Seeing his expression change, Lin Tao suddenly laughed: "In fact, the failure of this war is not your fault. If you can help us train a few commander-level people, then I can promise you one more thing."
