Chapter 696 (1/2)
As for why there are captive humans in Zerg territory, the reason is very simple. You know, although the Federation is declining, it still has a large number of weapons of mass destruction.
In order to get the federal people into a rat trap, Zerg can only keep some of the planet's population as hostages!
In this way, because of the fear that carpet bombing would hurt civilians, the federal fleet did not dare to launch a devastating attack on the Zerg occupied colony.
At the same time, the humans that Zerg choose to retain are generally the most knowledgeable people on the colony, such as engineers and scientists.
This kind of man has low combat power, little resistance, and can keep the factory running and mining for Zerg.
And those young and middle-aged, veterans, the old, the weak, the disabled and so on are turned into the ration of Zerg.
This killing program, which leaves only elite populations, also ensures the safety of Zerg on this planet.
After all, if it is ordinary people, they may kill them together with Zerg. The Federation will not feel too painful.
But if the captured people on the planet are skilled workers, engineers, scientists, etc., it is very difficult for the Federation to attack. After all, if these people can be rescued, the strength of the Federation will be greatly enhanced!
In any case, the Zerg won't eat these people, so they just put them in the Zerg custody for a period of time, which is a common idea of the federal high-level.
Facing up to 100 million surviving humans on this planet, fleet commander rohun is also entangled.
If he burned these 100 million people to ashes with Zerg, although the mission can be carried out smoothly, they will certainly bear the guilt and cold-blooded curse of a lifetime.
This is a hundred million lives, not simply hundreds of thousands of people!
If these people can be put under the rule of Andromeda company, then the development speed of Andromeda company will be greatly accelerated!
From the images taken, most of the people who have been preserved are skilled personnel with knowledge and culture, and few muscular guys are seen.
It's not true that you can't be moved!
”Sir, what shall we do?” The first mate of the flagship looked at Luo Hong with a tangled face.
”Just a moment. I'll get in touch with the top management.” Luo Hong turned and walked toward the secret communication room.
A few minutes later, rohun came back, his face relaxed.
”The boss ordered us to leave some troops to land on the planet, and the rest of the warships to move forward!”
”So! The flagship and a hundred cruisers remain, and all the other warships move on! ” Rohun chose a small number of warships to stay on the planet, while the other main forces continued to attack the Zerg. After all, it won't be long before the second fleet that's left behind will catch up. A hundred cruisers will be enough to suppress Zerg forces on the planet. He is confident that he will win the ground battle and rescue the hostages in a short time, so that they can catch up with the large troops as soon as possible.
The position of the original commander was temporarily transferred to the deputy commander of the fleet's reserve flagship.
Here we have to talk about the management structure of Titan group fleet.
First of all, the commander of the flagship is the commander-in-chief of the fleet. When the flagship is destroyed and the commander is killed, there will be a standby flagship in the fleet who will automatically be promoted to the flagship.
