Time passed quickly, and a week had passed since the establishment of the Earth Defense Alliance.
With the joint efforts of more than 20 countries, the establishment of the administrative and command system of the Earth Defense Alliance was completed. The final location was Celestial City, and the headquarters of the Earth Defense Alliance was established.
The purpose of the establishment of the Earth Defense Alliance was to resist the invasion of extraterrestrial civilization. Therefore, the organization was independent of all countries, had a separate administrative and command system, and was not responsible to any country. Except for major decisions that needed to be voted on by member states, all matters were decided by the highest executive officer.
According to the "Coro City Agreement", in addition to the bureaucrats and officers designated by each country, the administrative officials and volunteers of the Earth Defense Alliance would be selected from citizens who voluntarily applied for registration through a specific assessment process.
Once the applicant was selected, it would automatically be regarded as giving up its original nationality and becoming a glorious member of the Earth Defense Army. With a passport issued by the Earth Defense Alliance, the applicant could freely enter and leave the country without visa and passport restrictions. All food and accommodation expenses would be covered by the Earth Defense Alliance, and the applicant could receive a decent salary.
In contrast to the generous benefits, harsh training and iron-like discipline were required.
The Earth Defense Alliance would strictly implement military management internally. Even civilian personnel needed to receive at least five months of military training. The training time for the Marine Corps and Aviation Corps would start from one year without a cap.
There was only one goal in all the training courses, and that was to forge this army into a steel torrent that would never know the meaning of retreat. Even in the worst of situations, they would never turn their backs on the enemy and flee.
Even if they fought to the last person.
Although it sounded simple, it was absolutely impossible to achieve it without at least a decade or even a few dozen years. Fortunately, there was still a long time before the space colonization ship arrived in the solar system. He had enough time for these civilized people to sharpen their sharpened claws.
The only way to defeat barbarism was to be even more barbaric.
The Earth Defense Alliance would be a complete war machine to guard the future of Earth civilization. From the cannons of the giant ships to the wrenches in the hands of the workers, everything existed only for war.
This was also the only way that Earth would have the power to fight against the fearless bug tide.
Jiang Chen knew very well what kind of beast he was releasing.
But at the same time, he also knew that this step had to be taken sooner or later.
…
Celestial City, the headquarters of the Earth Defense Alliance.
The representatives of the various countries walked into the external space station one after another and took the elevator to the office floor belonging to their department. They were all elites selected from the governments and armies of various countries. They had a wealth of experience in organization and scheduling. At the same time, they had a preliminary understanding of the aerospace field.
At the top floor of the Earth Defense Headquarters, the elevator door opened, and representatives wearing military uniforms from various countries entered one after another.
A middle-aged man in a Chinese military uniform stood at the door, straightened his collar, and walked into the room. When he passed by Jiang Chen, a smile appeared on his face full of wrinkles. He extended his right hand to Jiang Chen.
"I've seen it. It's an excellent speech."
"Thank you." Jiang Chen shook hands with him, nodded, and gestured to the side, "Please sit."
The Earth Defense Alliance had been established. Before forming an army, the parties needed to further discuss the details of the covenant. For example, there was another key issue that had to be discussed first, which was countermeasures against extraterrestrial civilizations.
Only by determining a defensive strategy could they develop their defensive forces in a targeted manner.
There were a total of twenty people present, all members of the Earth Defense Alliance Committee. Among them were senior officials from intelligence departments of various countries, experts in the aerospace field, scientists, and soldiers.
For example, the middle-aged man named Wu Changfeng, who just shook hands with Jiang Chen, was the former deputy minister of the Second Department of the General Staff, with the rank of major general. The old Russian, Timofei Mogunov, who sat on the left side of Jiang Chen, was under the command of Nikolaev, the former brigade commander of the Special Operations Brigade under the 58th Army Group, with the rank of major general.
There was also the astronomer from Germany, Anthony Leibniz, who was also a leading figure in the international astronomy field and once served as the director of the European Space Agency.
Of course, not all member states sent their own representatives. For example, countries like Country F and Moro, who knew nothing about aerospace, even if they came, they wouldn't be able to make any constructive suggestions, so they might as well not come.
After all the members sat down, Jiang Chen looked at the people present and said.
"Before the meeting begins, I must emphasize one thing. That is, I hope you will keep the contents of today's discussion strictly confidential, even to your motherland. If you have any objections, you can apply to leave. "
Jiang Chen looked around at the people at the conference table. When he saw no one stood up, he nodded and opened the holographic screen.
In the center of the holographic screen was the star map between the solar system and Gliese 581. Several fragmented white lines could be clearly seen on the star map. These white lines marked the trajectory of the Harmony civilization's space colonization ship as it passed through the planetary belt. If these fragmented trajectories were put together, it could form a path from Gliese 581 straight to Earth.
"According to the data observed by the Celestial Trade Space Department, the distance between the Harmony civilization's space colonization ship and us has shortened by at least half in the past century. It is currently sailing only 10-6.7 light-years away from us."
"Such a large error?" Wu Changfeng frowned slightly and stared at the star map on the holographic screen with a solemn expression.
"Because they entered the unobservable zone." Jiang Chen's fingers tapped a few times on the control panel on the table and circled a large dark area in the star field. "This unobservable zone is about 5 light-years wide. Due to the thin density of the interstellar medium, we can't determine their coordinates through reference objects."
"We have to prepare for the worst. If they are only 6.7 light-years away from us, then we are likely to encounter the space colonization ship within 50 years. In order to avoid the space colonization ship landing on the mainland, we'd better solve this problem outside the solar system. In addition to forming an interstellar fleet, I want to hear if you have any better suggestions. "
After the two Russians exchanged opinions in a low voice, the seemingly reticent Mogunov stood up and suggested in a deep voice.
"Although I have no experience in interstellar warfare, in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of both sides in a war, as the defensive side, we are at a disadvantage in terms of tactics, but in terms of strategy, we have more initiative."
"I suggest that we can build fortress fortifications in the Kuiper Belt outside the solar system and increase firepower to the limit at the expense of mobility to support the frontline fleet in the battle against the Harmony civilization space colonization ship."
