Chapter 15 An unexpected group of prisoners of war(2/2)
The spacecraft evacuated because they did not want to capture too many mining workers thousands of light years away.
These non-combatants are purely a drag on both sides: the Platos do not want to waste precious life resources on them, and the coalition government does not care about the life and death of these low-level people.
These civilians are worthless and cannot be exchanged for many Platonic prisoners of war. Instead, they will consume a large amount of material supplies for Plato's army. Interstellar supplies are quite precious.
This time, the White Tiger Knights "won the lottery" and captured an unusually large number of Gaia civilians. Generally skilled and capable Gaia mining workers can also be considered a good population resource. The huge military-industrial super enterprise "Tule" in Plato's outermost circle
"Countless working people are needed, and they will be sent there to work continuously. But the civilians are really useless.
It turned out that they were family members of the mining company and the garrison who came to visit during the Spring Festival. Due to various reasons such as aircraft failure, some of them were stranded on 166P and failed to return to Mangxing City.
"The Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals for us Gaians... family reunion... good food and good food..." A frightened Mr. Mueller struggled to explain to a Platonic officer what the "Spring Festival" was.
The Spring Festival is an important festival in the Gaian calendar. A large proportion of the Gaian people's ancestors celebrate the Spring Festival, so it was selected as a public holiday by the coalition government, and the Spring Festival is celebrated every two revolutions. But unexpectedly,
The Spring Festival has quickly become the most popular holiday for all Gaians, as it is similar to a family reunion day and an Oriental food festival, with everyone busy banging their heads on "fortune cookies" and tasting the sweet and sour "General Tso's Chicken Skewers"
"And fried spring rolls, as well as delicious Vietnamese beef pho and egg pancakes, and of course bibimbap and assorted sushi. In short, it is delicious and spicy, and it is extremely joyful.
But now, these civilians who were happy when they arrived have fallen to such a tragic end because they lost their armed protection.
They panicked, trembled, hugged their heads and cried, falling into boundless sadness.
After listening to the explanation, the young Plato soldier looked at the scene in front of him. He was a little confused and could only remain silent.
The fierce fighting destroyed the light source that imitated the sun in the base, so within this day, the "sun" of the base never rose again. There were flames, ruins and rising smoke everywhere, and everything was shrouded in
In the darkness.
In this dark background, the Knights' flagship "Varuna", surrounded by various warships, landed slowly and gracefully on the ground.
"Varuna" is Plato's most advanced first-class flagship. It is huge and is 5,800 meters long. Because of its outstanding and graceful appearance and its whole body shining with deep sapphire color, it is known as the "Prince of Deep Space". In fact
It is also a powerful space battleship and a mothership for take-off and landing of transforming fighter planes.
The Knights tend to have a dual system of command, with Grand Master Chalki at the front, and Commander Ira commanding the flagship and the entire fleet. Now, with Ira taking over all post-war matters, Chalki can rest.
"Varuna, you are still so handsome and will be my forever good friend."
When "Varuna" landed, Kalki looked at the flagship and said something affectionately.
The grand captain and the knights returned to the flagship and took turns to finish breakfast as soon as possible.
At this time, he received the "good news" that there were many captives.
