After receiving the diploma from Li Fulai and being told that the college would hold a conferment ceremony for them at 3 p.m., Lin Fan and Emma left the simulation battle building.
"Are you leaving today?"
Emma walked beside Lin Fan and asked softly.
"Well, the commander said he would take me away after the ceremony is over in the afternoon."
"But the front line is now...well."
Emma was about to say something when Lin Fan reached out and covered her mouth.
"I know what's going on at the front, and I know more than you do."
Emma looked at Lin Fan blankly with her beautiful eyes. She didn't understand why Lin Fan knew. This information should be sealed very thoroughly. If it weren't for a big family like Campbell, it would be absolutely impossible to know.
That's right, despite the fact that the Federation is calm now, in fact, that's not the case at all.
After humans formed the Federation and began to enter the interstellar space, in just over ten years, the three star systems of Proxima, Barnard, and Tianyuan Four were incorporated into the Federation.
For a time, mankind started a craze for interstellar navigation. But what they didn't expect was that just a few years later, they would encounter the powerful Oaks Empire in the universe.
It no longer matters who struck first. Under the jungle laws of the universe, attacking another civilization does not require any so-called righteousness.
In the following thirty years, the Federation and the Oaks civilization fought countless wars.
From Tianyuan Four to Barnard, and then from Barnard to Linlin.
In the end, the three fleets outside the Federation's solar system were wiped out, and at the same time, the three star systems of Proxima, Barnard, and Tianyuan 4 were all declared to have fallen.
So far, of the four main fleets of the Human Federation, only the fourth fleet stationed in the solar system remains.
The overall number of warships has also dropped sharply from 150,000 at its peak to 30,000, including 20,000 in the Fourth Fleet and 10,000 in the Guard Fleet.
And the 200,000 warships of the Ox Empire are heading straight towards the solar system.
In the 52nd year of the Federation Calendar, Oakes' fleet entered the solar system. Liang Xingchen, who had just become the commander of the Fourth Fleet, withstood the pressure and ordered all fleets to retreat to the Mars base.
Liang Xingchen knew that with a tenfold difference in combat power, there was absolutely no chance of victory when facing the enemy head-on.
No matter how strong you are, in a head-on confrontation, the maximum battle loss of 1:3 is already the limit. The only chance is to use the asteroid belt to find opportunities to defeat the enemy.
Soon, due to being undefended, the Oaks Empire's fleet arrived all the way to Jupiter. At this point, there was only an asteroid belt blocking the two sides.
Three months later, the Oaks Empire's 200,000 battleships entered the asteroid belt, and Liang Xingchen finally found an opportunity to ambush them.
The battle lasted for three full days and ended with the Federation's Fourth Fleet losing 8,000 warships and the Oaks Empire losing 80,000 warships and returning to Jupiter.
It was this battle that established Liang Xingchen's status as the federal military god.
Afterwards, for the sake of internal stability, the Federation changed its public record to the total destruction of 200,000 battleships of the Oaks Empire, and publicized its defeat of the Oaks Empire, causing all the people of the Federation to think that the war was over.
However, the truth is that despite the great losses of the Oaks Empire, there are still 120,000 warships on Jupiter, and humans are still huddled within the asteroid belt and unable to get out.
And according to Liang Xingchen's judgment, the Oaks Empire has not organized a second attack in the past few years, and its purpose is probably to wait for reinforcements.
Therefore, the current situation of mankind is quite poor, which is completely opposite to the peaceful situation within the Federation.
"Don't worry, maybe by the time you come to the Mars base next year, I will already be among the generals."
"Haha, you are only 19 now, and you want to be a general when you are only 20 next year? You are thinking too much! Even General Liang Xingchen will be 28 when he becomes a major general, okay!"
"Then let's make a bet. If I become a major general when you arrive at the Mars base next year, you can be my girlfriend!"
"Who wants to make this bet with you!"
Emma's little face suddenly turned red, and she turned around and ran away.
"How dishonest! Hey, I'm leaving in the afternoon. Let's report to the old man. It's really troublesome!"
Immediately, Lin Fan returned to his dormitory and prepared to pack his luggage, but there was still something he had to do before packing, which was to call his father.
Soon, the communicator was connected, and a majestic voice came from inside.
"I am Lin Zhen!"
"it's me."
"Say it!"
"I just completed the graduation assessment ahead of schedule. After I am awarded the title in the afternoon, I will follow General Liang Xingchen to the Mars base to tell you about it."
"Yeah?"
"Really? Let me tell you, old man, can you stop cherishing your words like gold every time?"
"What do you have to say to you brat? Get out of here! I'm very busy!"
"When are you not busy?"
"You think I'm you? Don't think I don't know. You brat spends all day doing nothing but sleeping in the academy!"
"What's wrong with me sleeping? Sleeping makes me happy. Sleeping makes me strong. No matter how much I sleep, I'm still the strongest!"
"You!! It makes me so angry."
Although he was angry, Lin Zhen really couldn't refute. Lin Fan really got stronger as he slept.
This is simply a shame. According to reports from his subordinates, this brat sleeps in class and sleeps after class.
In short, he is always looking for opportunities to sleep, but the problem is that this guy really gets stronger the more he sleeps. After sleeping for a few years, not even one of the instructors in the entire academy can be his match.
He was obviously a very well-behaved and hard-working child when he was young, but why did he become like this when he grew up
The more Lin Zhen thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Okay, old man, I just came to say goodbye to you. Who knows if we will have a chance to talk to you again in the future, right?"
Lin Zhen was silent. If others didn't know, how could he not know what the situation was like on the front line? He was the president of the Federation.
As for Lin Fan, Lin Zhen did not want his status to have a negative impact on Lin Fan's growth, so he kept Lin Fan's information confidential very early, and the information disclosed to the public was a modified and false one. material.
Therefore, the entire college, not even the dean Li Fulai, knew that Lin Fan was the son of the federal president.
For a while, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
"Be careful, I don't want the white-haired person to send the black-haired person away."
"You should pay more attention to your health!"
"."
Speaking of which, the dialogue between father and son Lin Zhen and Lin Fan is always like this. They seem to be quarreling with each other all day long, but in fact they care about each other very much. This is also their unique way of communication.
After finishing the communication, Lin Fan started to pack up. Then he saw that there was still a lot of time left, so he lay down on the bed and went to sleep. Oh no, it was training!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the students and instructors gathered in the central auditorium of the college for the awarding ceremony.
As for the students who gathered here, they were quite confused. Isn't the awarding ceremony held once a year? Why do we need to be awarded titles just after the last one? To whom is the title awarded
Not to mention the students, the instructors were all confused.
It wasn't until Li Fulai came on stage to speak that everyone went crazy.
