Hidden Yao Era

Casto was a little nervous: "I just came to check the information of some shipwrecked crews, and I didn't involve any core secrets. "

"Haha, there are some things that are not core secrets, but if you know, you are likely to track them down, and then slowly learn something that you shouldn't know. Captain Mills's words appeared to be warnings, but they seemed to lure Casto into continuing his search for answers to the questions he had just asked. The answer to these questions seems to be the fruit of Paradise Lost, and Captain Mills is the serpent that lures people into eating it.

Casto hurriedly assured Captain Mills, "I understand that I will not do anything out of the ordinary. "Haha, I don't think the thorn head who was locked up in the cell on the first day doesn't look like a good boy who is peaceful. Captain Mills laughed.

The expression on Casto's face stiffened slightly, and he couldn't argue with Captain Mills, and he didn't know how to get him to dispel his suspicions. A lot of things went through his mind at once, he was afraid that Captain Nelson would know that he had checked his file, and even that he was afraid that his future investigation into the battle of Europa would not be discovered.

"Don't be nervous young man, I know, you're just checking the file, go ahead, I'm just coming over to verify my file information. Captain Mills sensed the change in Casto's expression and tried to defuse the awkwardness.

Casto smiled awkwardly and continued to look at the crew's files. Captain Lyles turned on another screen, looked at something, and left. Castor scrutinized the biographies, home addresses, and other personal information of the fallen sailors. He found out that most of them were from Europa. It was one of the first planets of Jupiter's moons to be modified, and after being modified by the atmosphere, its iconic Connamara chaotic terrain disappeared, and the planet formed a huge ocean and humid climate. Scientists have discovered a huge amount of Trojan crystal ore on the planet, which triggered Europa's gold rush. The first settlers settled here, and Europa's population grew rapidly from less than 1 million to 500 million in 300 years. It has also become an important source of firefighters.

But among these people, Lieutenant Lyles has a somewhat peculiar origin, he is a fellow Martian of Castor. Casto noticed his full name, Lyles Winslow. Winslow was a noble family among the first immigrants to Mars, but they have been estranged from the Arbiter Council for nearly a hundred years, and their status has been gradually marginalized.

This reminded Castor of his own family, who was born in the Cavendish family and, like the Winslow family, was one of the first Martian immigrants, and established his own network of political, commercial, and military connections in the development of Mars after Mars, and became one of the Martian nobility. In recent decades, however, the Cavendish family has also been in danger of being marginalized. Their commercial territory is shrinking, and their monopoly position in agriculture and industry is constantly being challenged by the enterprises under the arbitrators' committee. Militarily, there is only one lieutenant general in the family who serves in the firefighters, and he is only a lieutenant general in the army, and he does not have the authority to command the fleet to fight.

As a result, the Cavendish family had high hopes for Castor, and the elders of the family often encouraged him and supported him in applying for the Arbiter Military Academy. However, Castor's aristocratic spirit is not particularly obvious, unlike the slender and fragile character of ordinary aristocratic children, he has a simple, simple and resolute character. It had to do with his parents, Casto's father, a farmer in the Cavendish Agricultural Group, who had lived on the shores of Lake Utopia for generations. As a result of their long-term involvement in agriculture, one of them became the hillbillies of the family, and for a long time they were not valued by the core members of the family.

But in recent years, most of the young people of the Cavendish family have not been successful, some have good academic performance, but they prefer to have fun or are obsessed with academics. Others actively manage their family's political and business networks, and are reluctant to enter the difficult and dangerous army. And most of the children who are interested in joining the army have poor academic performance, and they can't enter the higher military academy at all, so they can only go to the ordinary non-commissioned officer academy to graduate and become an army non-commissioned officer.

Castor, on the other hand, was neither playful and willful like the children of the high aristocracy, nor lacking in talent and good education like the children of the fringes of other families. He has excelled in his studies since he was a child, and his top five grades entered the military academy. The elders in the family value him very much, but they are also a little worried. Because if Casto enters the upper echelons of the military, he will inevitably face complex relationships and political struggles. But Castor is a somewhat innocent child, and his parents are the kind and simple kind of good people who are self-reliant and unwilling to trouble others. This makes it difficult for Casto to adapt to the complex situation of taking advantage of each other and even intriguing.

Moreover, Castor's simplicity is also reflected in his view of others and the world at large. He didn't believe in any conspiracy, and he never had any doubts about the media propaganda and official documents. Some of the elders of the Cavendish family had reminded Castor that the world was not what he imagined. But Casto didn't listen, or he didn't want to understand at all. After all, the atmosphere in the school is still too simple, and even in the military academy there is not much political struggle, of course, even if there is, Casto can't see it at this time. After arriving in the army, Castor gradually realizes that the world is not what he thinks, but he is not ready to accept it.

After learning about the fallen crew, Castor returned to his bedchamber. Along the way, he recalled the information of those crew members and the appearance of those dead classmates, and suddenly had some feelings. He discovers that war is not as romantic as he imagined, and that those living people are easily torn apart in the war. The existence of life had become so nihilistic and fragile in the war that he was a little depressed for a while. But Casto had in mind his mission – to write letters to the families of the fallen – as a way to bring comfort to their families. And what maintains the sense of existence of these fallen soldiers is the grief and nostalgia of their families. Thinking of this, Casto, who was not good at writing, suddenly had a surge of thoughts, and he could feel the pain, nostalgia and regret of these people, and wrote these things in one go.

Thinking of this, Casto, who was already in his forties, suddenly smiled awkwardly, and he felt a little funny at the thought of his own superficial understanding of war and life at that time. He thought back to the letters of condolence he had written, and his memory of them had been shattered, and fragments of the words in those letters of condolence had come out of his head, some of which seemed too plain, direct, and even crude, and these fragments alone embarrassed Castor, and made him not want to continue to recall more details of those letters. But when he thought about it, the simplicity and purity of his heart at that time was also a kind of happiness. Compared to Casto now, although he has begun to understand the darkness at that time, he still believes that happiness can be obtained in this world by virtue of kindness and courage, and now Casto himself has been a little shaken, and those things that he once believed in have been beaten and collided in one cruel fact after another.

Thinking of this, Casto was a little puzzled, and he thought about his experience repeatedly, trying to find out what had shaken his faith. In this way, Casto continued to immerse his mind in the memories.

In the six months following the battle of Europa, Castor, Yang Dongming, and Winston participated in three exercises, and they gradually became familiar with their duties on the ship. During this time, Casto felt that he was comfortable with the job. But he became more and more disgusted with the people around him, and those officers and sailors bragged about their families, military exploits and even the plot of fooling around with clone girls every day. Major Kawaguchi and Captain Mills even had a contest about the shameless things they had done to clones.

Major Kawaguchi claimed that he was quietly caressing the clone girl, and then suddenly pulled out an invisible knife and slashed down, the wound was instantly cut open, and then he immediately used the healing device to heal the clone girl's wound. He said that this was how he showed his omnipotence as a god and made the clone completely surrender to him.

Captain Mills claimed to have chopped off the female clones' fingers, forearms, and even thighs. Of course, in the end, they were all connected again with medical equipment. The women didn't dare to look at him directly, but when they saw the money he gave, they all leaned over respectfully and even gently and delicately. He was particularly happy to say that these clones were just for fun, their bodies were super restorative, and those medical devices were not so versatile in ordinary people, so they didn't feel guilty about doing these things themselves.

But Castor felt disgusted when he heard their words, and there was no shame in his eyes. He was somewhat sympathetic to the cloned women, even though they did not have the rights of normal human beings under the law. What Major Kawaguchi and Captain Mills did was as obscene and horrible as a pawn in hell in Castor's eyes. Soon, though, he will experience what real hell is in his first official battle in the military.

The

Pluto Rover did not continue their large-scale attack after Europa's sneak attack, but only carried out regular sneak attacks on the supply and transportation lines of the firefighters. However, in the intervening months, the firefighters have completed some new military deployments, and a large-scale offensive is being prepared.

Titan, one of the few planets in the solar system with an oxygenated atmosphere, was transformed into a habitable planet for humans in the early days of the solar system. Titan's oxygen-rich atmosphere takes a lot of trouble into the planet's atmospheric modification. However, due to the distance from the sun, the temperature of the entire planet still cannot be adapted to the temperature range that is comfortable for humans. As a result, it is still considered by many to be a bitter cold place, and most people live in a huge underground city beneath the surface of Titan.

However, the Pluto rover took a fancy to the Trojan crystal mine and water resources here, and captured the moon not long after the start of the battle with the firefighters, and has occupied it to this day. Pluto Rover mobilized 6 aircraft carrier fleets to defend the area, each equipped with 5 CV3000-class fast carriers, equipped with bullfrog bombers, RB7-13 escort boats and CV-T800 escort boats, 10 ST59-class battle cruisers, 36 CAS066-class cruisers, 60 AC721-type destroyers equipped with CV-MO11 escort boats and CV-II003 escort boats, and more than 200 FG-300 class frigates. The Pluto Rover also has 400,000 ground garrisons on the planet. It is equipped with 7,000 tanks, 3,000 armed mechs, and 20,000 artillery pieces of various types. A number of forts and fortifications were also built.

Therefore, even though Titan has an important strategic value, the firefighters still dare not rashly attack it. After all, the enemy here has strong forces, and the hard underground defense and cold weather bring too many challenges to the attacker, and it is easy to lose heavy losses if you take the initiative to attack. But the firefighters decided to take a big gamble this time!
