Three days later, the federal authorities issued a "compulsory conscription order," and the human confederation officially entered a state of total war.
However, this is not worth celebrating, and no one is celebrating it. Just earlier in the day, the last battlestar outside the homeland galaxy and the last stronghold on the outer defense line of the homeland galaxy was breached by the enemy. Hundreds of thousands of officers and men of the fifty legions guarding this battlestar survived their lives, all of them died in a heroic battle. With the fall of this fortress, all the outer lines of defense of the Home Galaxy were lost.
For the Human Federation, it has reached a critical moment of life and death.
It can be said that the human legion has nowhere to retreat.
Take a step back and the homeland galaxy will fall.
Although in the past thousands of years, the Human Federation has been strengthening the defense construction of the homeland galaxy, and it has never stopped. By the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, the Human Federation had built three lines of defense for the home galaxy. However, the peaceful and prosperous age that lasted for a thousand years has caused the Human Federation to relax its vigilance and made the defensive deployment of the homeland galaxy a decoration. Among the three lines of defense, only the outer line of defense is barely considered solid, while the other two lines of defense are almost in vain. Not only did they not have enough troops, there were also many defensive facilities that were not completed as planned. In addition, these two lines of defense are both inside the homeland galaxy, and even if they can be held, they will suffer heavy losses.
Of course, it is still a question whether it can be held.
Federal authorities blocked news of the loss of the perimeter defense line. To be precise, there was no public information. This is understandable, and it is a huge blow to anyone. Not to mention civilians, even those soldiers who fight to the death to the end, no one has enough confidence. The key is that almost all of the main corps in the nine theaters are placed on the outer line of defense, and the remaining reserves are mainly new corps. Although there are still two lines of defense, relying on those newly-built legions that have no actual combat experience or even basic training can not stop a powerful enemy at all. What's more, the other two defense lines are more fragile, and many defense facilities that should have been completed long ago are still on the blueprint.
Without enough legions and strong defense facilities, how can you resist the Silicon Charm army
In addition, the federal authorities just didn't make the news public, and the gossip had spread.
On that day alone, thousands of private spacecraft fled their home galaxies. Of course, those who fled were rich people, and those who had no confidence.
However, the fate of these people is very miserable.
Under the blockade of the Silicon Magic fleet, not a single spacecraft left the home galaxy, all were intercepted, and all were destroyed without exception.
Panic spread quickly.
Although later in the day, the federal authorities initiated emergency measures to mobilize the military and police to maintain order, and formally implemented the mandatory conscription order, that is, all adults must be enlisted in the army and go to the nearest conscription point as soon as possible to report and obey Arrangements between the federal authorities and the military. However, the effect of such coercive measures is not ideal. Even if a large number of soldiers are recruited, it is difficult to arm these soldiers in a short period of time.
It can be said that as long as the Silicon Magic army continues to advance, the human federation will have to fight the enemy on the main planets such as Federation Star and Yanhuang Star. At that time, even if the invading enemy can be defeated, the losses suffered will probably hurt the human confederation.
You know, even at the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War more than a thousand years ago, the home planets of the Human Federation were not invaded. The last time it was invaded was about four thousand years ago, during the Second Greenwich War, and the Human Federation almost perished.
What should we do next, how can we stop the enemy's advancement
Not to mention the civilians, even the nine theater commanders such as Zhan Ruilin are at a loss at this time, and no one can think of effective measures to deal with the enemy.
In the face of the menacing Silicon Magic army, and the morale that has been shaken, all the military can do is issue a full-scale war of resistance.
This is the second time in the history of the human confederation that the military has issued the "Total War of Resistance", and the last time was during the Second Greenwich War more than 4,000 years ago. At the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War, because Xiao Wentian stepped forward, the military did not issue this "ultimate order."
The issuance of the "Total War of Resistance" means that the human confederation has reached the most critical juncture, and it also means that the military department has delegated its original military power to everyone. To put it simply, after the Military Department issued the "Total War of Resistance", all individuals and groups of the Human Federation will fulfill their obligation to resist invasion and at the same time obtain the power to form military forces to resist invasion, which is often referred to as "the entire nation." All soldiers".
However, this is not necessarily a good thing.
More than four thousand years ago, during the Second Greenwich War, the Military Department issued the "Total War of Resistance" for the first time. Although the Silicon Magic army was finally defeated and the lost ground was regained, the chaos caused by this lasted for hundreds of years, and it was not until the Third Greenwich War that was put down. The point is that after mobilizing everyone to resist the invasion and defeating a powerful enemy, it is not so easy for the armed personnel to lay down their weapons. At that time, the large-scale turmoil caused by this was able to be quelled. First, the third Greenwich War broke out. External threats were more serious than internal contradictions. Second, the turmoil lasted not too long, and many civil forces had not yet formed a scale to follow. The federal authorities that have entered a state of war contend and can only hand over their armed forces obediently. Of course, what is more important is what the people want, that is, the vast majority of the people support the federal authorities to regain military power.
Obviously, the situation is completely different this time.
Among other things, the Sixth Greenwich War just broke out, and obviously it will continue for some time, at least several decades, perhaps hundreds of years. Now issue the "Total Anti-Japanese War Order", then by the end of the war, those civilian armed forces that appeared during the war will definitely develop and grow. At that time, what methods can the federal authorities use to disarm civilians without bleeding
You know, the last time was when the Second Greenwich War was about to end, the Federal Army issued the "Total War of Resistance." Because the war ended soon, and many civilian armed forces established during the war did not develop and grow, the federal situation did not completely lose control. At least those civilian armed organizations that emerged during the war were unable to confront the federal authorities, and the human federation was unified. It must have been maintained, and when the third Greenwich War broke out, the federal authorities still had high authority in the minds of the people, and they were able to revert and integrate the civilian armed forces in the name of guiding the war, thus ending the continuous number. A hundred years of war.
Of course, not everyone supports the issuance of the "Total War of Resistance" at this time, and among them is Zhan Ruilin.
In the military vote, Zhan Ruilin and the two theater commanders voted against, while the other six theater commanders all voted in favor.
Zhan Ruilin knew very well that the commanders of the six theaters were fanning the flames, and to be precise, they were using this incident to attack the third theater.
The reason is very simple. The war has only broken out for a few months, and the naturally occurring civil armed organizations are all colonizing the galaxy, and the scale is not very large. Up to now, the only person who has gone out to stand on his own mountain and still form a climate is Yang Yi in the third theater. Although Yang Yi is still an officer in the Third Theater in name, he is restrained by Zhan Ruilin, but he takes the civilian armed forces to Feng Mars to stand on his own. More importantly, the homeland galaxy was under siege, and almost all the star systems under the federal jurisdiction of mankind were occupied. Zhan Ruilin was unable to order Yang Yi at all. Even if Zhan Ruilin could give orders, Yang Yi would not necessarily obey, at least he would not blindly obey Zhan Ruilin's orders.
However, there is a problem.
This is the civil armed force commanded by Yang Yi and the legitimacy of going to Feng Mars to fight.
To put it bluntly, if the civilian armed forces commanded by Yang Yi are illegal and have no legal status, and the combat operations in Feng Martian are not ordered operations, and they also have no legitimacy, then no matter how much victory he wins on Feng Martian, neither Will be recognized. It can even be said that the federal authorities and the military can at any time convict Yang Yi in the name of "defying orders" and "acting without authorization."
Of course, if authorized, Yang Yi's actions on Feng Mars will be legal.
At this time, the military issued the "Total War of Resistance Order", in fact, to provide support for Yang Yi's actions on Feng Mars, to be precise, to make Yang Yi's actions legal. In this way, even if one day in the future, Yang Yi will no longer be under Zhan Ruilin's, Zhan Ruilin will not be able to deal with Yang Yi in the name of "defying orders" or "acting without authorization", that is, he cannot use legal and reasonable means to deal with Yang Yi. Hit Yang Yi.
In Zhan Ruilin's view, those theater commanders who voted in favor are using this method to support Yang Yi, and hope that Yang Yi will disintegrate the third theater. Because after Yang Yi develops and grows, if he is still an officer in the third theater, then the third theater will benefit. If Yang Yi leaves the third theater and becomes an independent military force, then the third theater will suffer the most.
However, Zhan Ruilin also thinks that these guys' eyes are too short-sighted.
You know, the current civilian armed forces are not just the army led by Yang Yi. There are people resisting in almost all colonial galaxies, and they can all be regarded as civil armed forces. After the military department issued the "comprehensive war of resistance order," it was tantamount to giving these civilian armed forces a legal status.
It is easy to release the tiger, but it is not easy to catch the released tiger back.
It's just that it's done. Even if Zhan Ruilin united the two theater commanders to vote against it, it would not be able to change the decision made by the military.
Of course, Zhan Ruilin is also very clear that this "ultimate command" is actually a double-edged sword.
Those with ulterior motives want to use this method to attack the third theater, but in Zhan Ruilin's view, this is actually a rare opportunity. As long as this opportunity is seized, the third theater will not be weakened, it will become stronger, and it may even be possible to integrate the military.
