The Last Omega

Traveling to and from the stars is not exactly a wonderful journey.Because space lacks beautiful scenery, but is rich in robbers and hooligans, sometimes a good night's sleep can be a luxury.

Therefore, when the soldiers of the third base learned that they would return to the voyage today, they felt a little regretful in their hearts.

Although this little regret is not enough to make them emotional.They are soldiers, and the first thing they receive is the education that the interests of the base are paramount.

"The capital star of the first base is a very wonderful place. Before we came here, we never thought that we could live in peace with aliens." Rhine and Sean walked in the garden of the capital star capital. For a few hours, they were about to leave.

The Geyingke guards not far away smiled at them, their long tongues lolling out, looking scary, but they could feel the friendliness that the other party was trying to express.

Rhine responded with a human smile.

Goyingke's guard turned his head in satisfaction, and continued to guard the place in a standard sitting posture.

"You like this place very much." Sean watched them interact, but then said, "Maybe that's why the first base invited us here."

"What?" Rhine asked.

"The first base invited us here not entirely to discuss the possibility of cooperation with me. Of course, if I happen to agree to their request, it will be a pleasant surprise for them." Sean said, "But they The original purpose was actually to show these aliens integrated into the local life here."

Rhine still had the blank expression just now.Sean's words made him a little confused, and he stopped involuntarily.

"I don't quite understand." Rhine said, "Is there any benefit in doing this?"

"Why do you like it here?" Sean asked.

"It's...peaceful here."

Sean smiled and nodded: "Yes, it can also be said the other way around, peace. Between humans and alien races, and between alien races."

He looked at Goingke, the gatekeeper, "The First Base has shown us the possibility of friendly coexistence between human beings and alien races. I have to say that they have succeeded. This is the most attractive thing for our base .”

Rhine is not an idiot, he quickly understood.

As a major general, Sean spent two-thirds of the year fighting in space, fighting with the Gongdao people who harassed the trading ships, fighting with the Goingkes who broke into the airspace of the base, and fighting against "humans" who look down on humans. "Little Thing" big spider Lokra fight...and watch the recruits die in great numbers in various battles.

The third base is not short of money, they are not keen on expansion, so they are not short of land.Their only need is people.

How to solve the high battle loss rate of soldiers has been a problem that has plagued them for several years.

The First Foundation apparently knew this and hinted at another possibility - a truce with the aliens.

This simply hit the pain point of the third base.

But apparently, Sheen was not impressed.In other words, he was moved, but he knew that if he followed the intention of the first base, he would have to pay a higher price in exchange, so he didn't respond.

Otherwise they would not return immediately today.

Rhine fell silent.

"Peace." Rhine was not only confused, "Does this really exist?"

Sean didn't answer, he stopped and looked at the Fendra flower beds on both sides of the road, "We should go."

-

"Peace belongs to the winning side. Unfortunately, both are time-sensitive." The head of state, Bernie, was sitting on the hospital bed, flipping through the documents at hand while infusing, "Thank you, child, you let us win The chips have increased by half, and in a few days, our soldiers will be able to wake up."

The batch of osmium arrived smoothly, and during the two days of entertaining Sean and the others, a batch of Omega soldiers had already awakened.

Linton helped him flip through the paper documents, and smiled when he heard the following sentence, "You are still so polite, General."

Linton would call the head of state his father when he was performing tasks outside, but he was used to referring to him by his military rank when facing each other.Admiral Bernie understood this-Linton's growth process was almost entirely related to the army, and Bernie also played the roles of father and boss at the same time.

When they are separated, they are willing to show their warm side, but when they are reunited, it is difficult to address them as "Father" or "Dad". As a result, they spend most of their time talking about business affairs, and the address of personal relationship will make the atmosphere not enough serious.Secondly, Linton knew his own life experience since he was a child.

But Bernie seldom talked about those things to him, especially about the Second Base and the Battle of the Rose Star, which caused a little gap between the two, a slight gap that couldn't be ignored.

What Admiral Bernie was reading at this moment was the part of the information on the Rose.

Third Base did delay support.

The source of the information seems to be the personal diary of the commander-in-chief's secretary or assistant at that time, because the previous contents are scattered meeting minutes, which seem to have nothing to do with Rose Star.

Linton had already read these materials, but when he flipped through them again, his fingers still trembled slightly.

……

On June 6, Xingdian standard time, the alliance council began, the second base was absent, and voting was conducted through remote meetings. .

The Duke of White from the fourth base (he sprayed too much perfume and smoked me) proposed to establish an interstellar joint defense force, and hand over the ships equipped with tactical systems in each base to the interstellar joint army, including various types of frigates and cruisers , long-range destroyers, battleships, etc.

The space stations at each base will become the quarters of the coalition forces.And the bases will truly become one - because as long as the alien race invades one of the places, it will be regarded as a declaration of war against humans (I don't understand what the meaning is, and humans have no great reputation).

The Second Base was the first to object, and the First Base was skeptical, and finally the Allied Army's proposal was rejected (very well).

On July 7, the alliance meeting was held again.

The fourth base proposed to unify the weapon standards of each base, including high-temperature particle beams, photon guns, ultra-long-range weapon launcher calibers, thermal radiation guns, etc. (strange).

The First Base proposed the abolition of mandatory conscription (this is also strange).

The second base requests to take back the descendants of human residents who had the same starting point as them in each base (how to distinguish this? But there will be many people who want to settle there).

Our base did not ask for it.But the Commander-in-Chief seemed very unhappy.

On July 7, the alliance meeting ended. (none of the resolutions passed)

On August 8, the Second Base sent a document, claiming to withdraw from the Star Alliance because the strategic goals of the Alliance deviated from the original intention of human beings to explore space.

On August 8, the Fourth Base accused the Second Base of expanding its military and preparing for war without reason, and asked the other party to disclose information on the 30 new warships.

On September 9, the second base rejected the other party's proposal.

On September 9, the Commander-in-Chief's Office received urgent encrypted information, the confidentiality level of which was the highest.

At 16:00 standard time, the second base claimed that they had encountered an attack from the Hewas, and the opponents had come prepared, and asked other bases to increase their protection levels.

The Intelligence Agency confirmed the reliability of the information.

On September 9, the Second Base requested support.rejected.

On September 9, the Second Base again requested support.rejected.

On September 9, the First Base requested emergency support.The commander sent an advance force, five medium combat ships.

……

On September 9, the battleship lost contact, and the commander's office sent encrypted information to understand the situation, and the signal was interrupted.

On October 10, the information was sent out from the space station for the second time, with ten copies copied at the same time.The sent information was interrupted again.

On October 10, the supporting troops set off, with 3 long-range combat ships, 18 frigates, and 33 medium-sized cruisers.The signal connection is successful.

The rose star fell.

……

"

10 month 3 day.

If converted to the standard time of the First Base, it would be October 10th.

Linton's birthday is on this day.He had never doubted the meaning of this day before, but when he saw this document, Linton realized that it was the day when Rose Star fell and he became an orphan.

"Our rescue plan at that time failed." Admiral Bernie turned over the paper and looked down, "At that time, not only the Rose Star, but also the main star of the second base was full of Heva people. Our spaceship was taken by them. The soldiers had to choose airborne. Most of them were blasted into coke by the anti-aircraft weapons of the Hwa people, and the few who landed successfully, for the densely packed Hwa people on the ground, it was undoubtedly the meatballs that jumped into the pot by themselves.”

Linton fell silent.

He has always felt guilty about the First Foundation.If he can represent the second base.

"Did the attack start on September 9?" Linton asked.

"No, it was the early morning of September 9th." Bernie said, "It's just that everyone didn't care at first, thinking it was just harassment by alien races."

"It turned out not to be." Linton said, "They resisted for two weeks."

"Yes." Bernie said, "The Hewas blew up all kinds of power equipment on the base, and reinforcements continued to flow in. The second base couldn't support it, so they had to ask us for help. The first reinforcements we waited for were Eight days later, of the five warships from the third base, three of them were destroyed as soon as they arrived, and the other two joined the battle. And then..."

They never talked about that battle.Faced with these suddenly today, but do not know where to start.

He couldn't help but look up at Linton.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Bernie coughed violently twice, his voice weakened, "Maybe I can tell you something."

"I'm afraid that's not all you can say."

Bernie was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and then nodded: "Not all of them. Because of some things, I'm just guessing. Maybe the truth will be discovered by you. Before that, I don't want to mislead you with my narrow thinking."

For example, the role played by the fourth base, and the position and attitude of the third base.

Linton added in his mind, then nodded.

"I really can't figure it out." He opened the document again, "Since the military strength of the second base is the strongest, and it has already expanded its military preparations before the war, how could it last for only two weeks?"

Bernie obviously didn't expect him to ask this.Sheehan asked the same question just yesterday.

He was silent for a while.

"Because at that time, the second base had lost its combat effectiveness."

Linton had thought of various reasons, but this was the only one he hadn't expected.

"What?" He was completely stunned.

Admiral Bernie let out a long sigh.

"Because the second base has completely lost its combat effectiveness. They used their genetic research to completely erase the microbrain from the brain. The secondary differentiation of human beings was also reversed. At that time, the second base had only male humans and female humans .You are the last Omega that has not had time to be reversed." Bernie said, "They fought against the Hwa with purely human bodies."

"Why?" Linton murmured, "Why?"

"Because they want to go home. They were expanding their armies and preparing for war, not for war, but for their return journey. The Second Base chose to abandon this galaxy and return to Earth."

"Why don't you go straight away?"

"Some people have tried, but failed. The earth does not accept the differentiated human beings. It will recognize the other party as an alien creature, kill the other party with biological bacteria, and refuse the entry of outsiders." Bernie said, "Second The base has done a lot of research and prepared for more than ten years, and they have made almost all kinds of preparations."

It's just that no one expected that everyone was only a little short of going home.
