1219 What's the Origin?
General Ling Xiao led the 23rd Division to destroy Three Star Lock and cut off Twilight's logistics. This made everyone in the Federation very excited. Although an intergalactic war was inevitable in the end, no one objected to Ling Xiao's actions.
Perhaps there were some, but in the midst of the joy and excitement of the people, these voices did not cause any ripples and disappeared without a trace.
The entire Federation was busy preparing for the intergalactic war. The battlefield of the intergalactic war was Twilight.
There were only two ways to end this war. One was for Twilight to be completely destroyed. Then, Twilight's allies would have no reason to continue fighting. The other was that the Federation was unable to sustain the war and had no choice but to stop the war.
Both countries didn't want to take the path that was disadvantageous to them. This meant that this war was destined to be bloody and cruel.
The Federation's military spaceport had entered level one combat readiness. Of course, the Federation's military spaceport wasn't the only one that entered level one combat readiness. Many other Federation's military spaceports were the same.
However, the military spaceport was busier than the other spaceports. This was because the spaceport was mainly responsible for logistics. More than half of the logistics needed by the Twilight army came from the spaceport.
The logistics department was in charge of this. Chapter 17: Logistics? Chapter 18: Logistics? The three transport fleets had already arrived at the spaceport. They were just waiting for the supplies to be filled up. Then, they could move to the Twilight battlefield.
Logistics? A few hover cars suddenly flew over from the 017 fleet. They approached the main spaceship of the 017 fleet and slowly landed.
Then, a few officers walked down first. Then, a major came down and looked around carefully. Then, he opened the door of a hover car.
A major general in his forties or fifties stepped out of the door. A senior colonel who had been waiting at the entrance of the main cabin strode over when he saw the major general and saluted him. "Major General Qiu, the commander is waiting for your arrival. This way, please!"
Major General Qiu was about to speak when he suddenly felt something. He turned around and looked into the distance.
In the direction where his line of sight landed, there were a few more hover cars rapidly approaching.
Major General Qiu turned around and smiled. "It seems that Major General Xu is here too. Why don't we wait for him?"
"Yes, Major General Qiu," the senior colonel hurriedly replied.
While they were talking, the hover car had already landed on the ground. A major general in his fifties with white hair on his temples, who looked extremely serious, walked out of the car with a cold expression.
When he saw Major General Qiu, he nodded. "Major General Qiu, long time no see."
Major General Qiu replied with a smile, "That's right. We've been busy with our own missions. It's been three years since we last met."
"Who asked the Federation to have so many battles every year?" Major General Xu replied with a straight face.
"There's no other way. Our Federation is never willing to lower our heads and suffer losses. We can only fight back with our fists." Major General Qiu didn't care about Major General Xu's unfriendly expression. After being colleagues for so many years, how could he not know about Major General Xu's bad temper? If it wasn't for the support of the head of the logistics department, with Major General Xu's temper, he might not have been able to reach the rank of major general in his lifetime.
"In the end, it's because our Federation isn't strong enough that no one dares to mess with us," Major General Xu replied coldly.
"Isn't our Federation a lot stronger now? Some things can only be done slowly. Don't ask for too much, "Major General Qiu replied helplessly. Although they were only a logistics fleet, their desire for the prosperity of the country was no less than that of the combat fleets.
"I know. I'm just saying," Major General Xu replied expressionlessly. It seemed like he was just brushing it off. However, Major General Qiu knew that Major General Xu was speaking the truth.
Seeing that the two major generals finally stopped talking, the senior colonel who had been waiting at the side quickly saluted and interrupted. "Major General Xu, Major General Qiu, our commander is already waiting inside. This way, please."
Under the senior colonel's lead, the two of them finally arrived at the command room.
As soon as they entered, they saw a major general with his back facing them. There was no one else inside. It seemed like he had been waiting for them for a while.
The major general heard the noise and turned around. When he saw Major General Xu and Major General Qiu, he instantly smiled happily.
"Major General Qiu! Major General Xu! "
"Major General Di!"
The three of them greeted each other before sitting down.
"The reason why I invited you all over is to discuss the Lingtian Independent Army that will be escorting us over." Major General Di went straight to the point and told them the reason why he invited them over.
Major General Xu and Major General Qiu looked at each other. Although the three of them were part of the logistics fleet, they had their own missions so they didn't interact much. They were just acquaintances. Suddenly, they were asked a question that went beyond their relationship. They couldn't help but think about it.
Major General Di saw their hesitation so he instantly smiled bitterly. "How can I not know that it's taboo to talk too much when we're just acquaintances? It's just that this order is a little strange. Also, the Lingtian Independent Army hasn't contacted me yet … I'm not sure."
Major General Xu frowned. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Major General Di replied, "I've checked on the Lingtian Independent Army. It's an independent army that just got promoted this year. Usually, new independent armies like this would have to complete their personnel allocation and internal adjustments within three years. They wouldn't be sent out for large-scale missions or wartime missions. However, this warship protection mission isn't only a large-scale mission but also a wartime mission. Why would the higher-ups ignore these two conditions and send out the Lingtian Independent Army?"
Major General Di couldn't help but think about it. This transport mission was too important. They couldn't afford to make any mistakes. If something really happened, no matter if it was the 4th, 7th, 13th, 23rd divisions, or the other divisions that were rushing to the Twilight Empire, they would all have logistical problems. This would affect the entire war situation. If that happened, the good situation that General Ling Xiao worked so hard to create would be gone.
Major General Qiu didn't reply. However, he glanced at Major General Xu. Compared to him and Major General Di, the head of the logistics department trusted Major General Xu more. Perhaps, Major General Xu had some information that they didn't know.
Major General Xu felt the gazes from Major General Qiu and Major General Di. He was a little unhappy and his expression turned cold. However, seeing that they were all old colleagues, he still replied, "It should be to give them a chance to gain more merits."
Major General Qiu and Major General Di weren't the only ones who were worried about Lingtian. When Major General Xu received this order, he was also worried. That was why he specially asked his chief about it before he left. At that time, his chief's reply also told him that this unknown Lingtian Independent Army wasn't simple.
"What's their background?" Major General Qiu and Major General Di were both smart people. They immediately understood what Major General Xu meant.
