The next day.
Sam wore a nice suit and was waiting for his ride. A black Limousine stopped in front of his house which he quickly boarded and sat on its soft seat almost letting out a moan.
The ride Lasted for an hour and he arrived at the New York City which is the capital of Earth. Sam soon entered a protected building. He was led by two soldiers giving a Sense of security to Sam which could not be felt in a metal case. As everyone says Human is a social animal.
In the council room Sam found his teacher and sat next to him observing the rest of the guest as everyone in the was elite of the Federation.
What he didn't know that the main guest of today was himself. Sam saw everyone looking at him and many of them even came to say hello. This was new thing for the him who was deadlocked in his room. The hell his contact list only had 10 numbers.
Sam was already trying hard not to embarrass himself. Augustus leaned towards him and spoke "Just speak as you speak to me."
Sam nodded.
As the seats in the hall started to fill 5 men protected by soldiers sat in the main seats. The Earth even after the countries have disappeared still followed the system of 5 permanent seats and 15 non - permanent seats with the permanent seats only changed on death of person while the rest changed every 10 year and permanent members can be dismissed if 12 non permanent votes and 3 permanent votes were against him. Still it no one was ever dismissed as everyone had did their jobs well.
Finally the second president of Federation, Sir Karamazov came in and sat on his place and greeted everyone.
Sam looked at the smiling Old man who handled the pressure of survival of Humans for more than 100 years and still continued to do.
He continued "Today on this day I would like to declare to the Galois Civilization that the War is going for too long."
A hologram appeared behind him broadcasted live form Mothership Celestia currently arranged in a spear and pincer formation.
"We are going to end it."
The powerful voice came making everyone's blood boil, if this was not a private meeting or else there would be upheaval among the civilians.
The man then looked at one of the non - permanent member who was in his world.
"But before that Mr. Bereave."
The sudden change of situation made everyone stunned, soon soldiers caught 14 people and brought them next to Bereave.
The said man gulped and spoke to the president. "President what is this?"
"I think you need to answer this question Mr. Bereave of the Federation or Charles of the Galois."
Charles knew he was exposed and stopped attacking and gave an evil laugh. He looked at Norman and replied.
"So what."
He took a step towards President and all the soldiers aimed towards him. Charles stopped and looked at the soldier next to him "Do you know, you are outdated soldier, the gun in your hand is just a toy in front of us."
The said soldier had almost pulled the trigger but his qualities made him stop, he didn't say a word and looked at the president who nodded to him.
"Are you mute .. urrgh." before he could continue he was punched to the ground spitting blood. He only heard a voice.
"Maybe I am outdated for the space-warfare but for you I alone is enough."
After spitting out some blood Charles started to laugh "Haha ahaha"
"HAHAAHAA"
"You don't understand what I am doing this is the only way for our survival, you can't beat them even if you master Nuclear Fusion can you get enough materials, in 10 years you will be exhausted and for them we still don't know how they came here where is their base and most importantly they have the whole outer solar system can you beat their resources, can you find out the depth of the enemy."
His voice started to choke and he started crying.
"I didn't wanted to do this I too love my civilization but do you know what when I heard that we having a technology a Grade higher than them still cannot use it what is the need to fight!"
"You still think we could win tell me Norman!!"
"Do you think we still have a chance!!!"
"Do you think LOC could stop THEM!!!!"
There was dead silence in the hall after this until a sigh sounded.
"Maybe Charles if you could have more patience you could have seen the future."
"Maybe if you had asked this question a year before my answer would be in your expectations."
"But Mark my word's it is time to end this war, you still have 10 days just wait and watch."
Then he looked at the Captain and motioned them to take them. While being dragged Charles shouted his last words before fainting.
"You should call back the fleet there are 50000 Orca class spaceships waiting for them at Saturn."
Norman looked at the Man who served the Federation for more than 20 years fall and sighed "Even if there are more than that it doesn't matter, they are just bigger toys."
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the side Sam was frightened by the scene going on and was deeply shocked. "Even people like them couldn't hold on, If this would had continued for more time may be Charles would not be the only one."
'The war would be ended before it was even fought.'
The meeting was interrupted, and people started to dispers and the ones with huge business and groups decided to check their members and remove the pessimistic society people.
_______________________________
On his way home Sam asked his teacher "Why didn't the Government Promote the News."
He thought that if such great news is promoted among masses the pessimistic people problem would decrease.
Augustus looked at him and spoke "The President doesn't dare to bet, even if he is 90 percent confident he would not bet."
Sam's thoughts got confused.
Augustus continued "Being kept in a mystery is better than given false hope. The success of Nuclear Fusion was an unprecedented event in the history of human civilization but what it was only used as a showpiece. Tell me Sam what would have happened to the common folks if they were told about it."
"And what if we lost the current battle, do we know their trump cards?"
"Can our 5000 ships go against them!"
"The common people's mentality would be collapsed after taking such backdowns."
"..Cough.."
Augustus started cough, Sam hurriedly gave him water.
Sam still had doubts "But we endured so many lost battles some hope should be given right."
Augustus nodded, "You are right, and we are too giving hope to them all the history you learned in the school is a lie. A lie created such that every war we only lost due to little difference in technology."
"Only people who participated in it know the truth. You should soon come in contact with the truth and then you should know why President is so scared."
Augustus calmed down after taking sip of water and continued.
"We only need to wait and believe in General Pierce."
Sam nodded feeling heavy getting revealed to things he didn't expect."
......
Mothership Celestia
In the command room one could see a stern looking man was giving orders on the mic.
"Guys new report we are going against 50000 battleships. Get ready to create a bait. They will fall for it even if they knew it is a bait. Let's kick their ass again".
General Pierce was a capable General who had commanded more than 100 large and small battles, even though most of them were lost he was the only one with victory listed in his resume.
The soldiers next to him too didn't gave a thought about fighting a fleet ten times larger as they had experienced the new combat power of the spaceships and knew in front of higher level technology rest are just numbers.
................
On Saturn a Space Base was quietly revolving around the gas planet and inside one could see pale looking one legged aliens moving around. It was the Galois civilization, they were almost similar to human with the difference being them having only one eye, three hands and one leg and they moved like kangaroos, In terms of technical level they were weaker than humans but on production side they threw humans 18 streets away.
If one could look at Saturn form far and compare them with before and after 100 years one could find its rings and size decreased with naked eye, this all was done by converting the materials into more than million spaceships which continued to attack earth.
Inside the command room of Saturn base a warning rang.
"Sir we detected Human spaceships in Sector Saturn 138, and only 5000 spaceships are detected."
One of the The three-hand man looked at the data and was confused.
"What are the humans doing. Charles said they wanted to attack Saturn. But with only 5000 ships has that Pierce got stuck in head after last victory."
