Him and their stars

Lieutenant General Goss continues to report on the situation. He also told everyone in a very serious tone that except for the first fleet of the Imperial Guard, all the imperial fleets in the Tianyu area were empty.

"Wanwangguan is the largest military fortress on the border of the empire. They can follow the first cantilever road, pass through the capital of the Kingdom of Cathay, and reach the Nantianmen within a month. Of course, they can also pass through the border of the Principality of Angmans, and then It will only take three weeks to pass through the Bakvi Republic and reach the border of the Far Shore Nebula at the earliest." The intelligence minister paused: "We are not yet sure who the commander of this fleet is, but as far as I know, Este The marshal has also arrived."

Marshal Paris's expression was very serious: "We are old rivals during the War of Independence... Everyone, it is impossible to assemble such a large force for an exhibition. We will soon face more severe challenges. Please do your duty! "

Chairman of the National Defense Committee Maxer also said: "We have received widespread support from the international community. The alliance has condemned the empire and is willing to provide us with military assistance and interest-free loans. The new army is being recruited and trained, and new warships are on the slipway. On the market, weapons on the market will continue to be delivered to us. At the beginning, Marshal Li and his comrades faced far more difficult situations than us, but they were still able to lead everyone to victory one after another. Now , everyone, as long as you hold on firmly, you will definitely find a way!"

Yu Lian trembled when he heard it, and quickly interrupted without regard for politeness: "If you hold on firmly, you will definitely win!"

"Yes, we will definitely win the final victory!" Chairman Maxer glanced at Yu Lian approvingly, pumped his fist and echoed loudly.

Obviously, the old chairman had been the president of the National Defense University for many years and had some expertise in injecting chicken blood. Anyway, the senior officers present were somewhat touched.

However, what is the saying? The general meeting decides on small things, and the small meeting decides on big things. As for today's highest-level military meeting, there are still more than thirty people attending the meeting. What is decided is actually the division of war zones, various new personnel appointments and dismissals, as well as logistical supplies, recruits and recruits, as well as new manufacturing and purchase. The distribution of weapons, and other aspects of affairs.

One thing to say is that three veterans were able to transform the military's organizational structure from a peacetime to a war zone system in such a short period of time, which is already an extremely efficient performance.

The above things cannot be said to be unimportant, but after all, they are not as important as deploying troops and generals.

Yu Lian waited until the meeting ended and all remote colleagues went offline. When only he and the two people from the Outer Ring War Zone were left in the conference room, he just asked: "The battle report on the 25th said that it was suspected that the Empire's outpost fleet had arrived at the front line. Has this news been confirmed?"

Admiral Joseph Bonaparte nodded solemnly: "In the reconnaissance on the 28th, in addition to identifying all 6 Corona-class ships of the Cathays and 3 Blazlar-class ships of the Bakvi people in the Bloodgate Galaxy, we also discovered The empire has 4 Force Angel-class battlecruisers and 12 Xingyan-class arsenal ships. However, when the reconnaissance was conducted again this morning, the 4 Force Angels were gone, but the number of Xingyan-class arsenal ships had increased to There are more than 20 ships, and there are at least 15 more Cloud Giant-class protective ships. This should be preparation for the attack on a large fortress."

The so-called Blood Gate Galaxy is the border fortress of the Kingdom of Cathay, three jumps away from Gibraltar, where the Nantian Gate is located. The several galaxies sandwiched between the two sides are the areas with the largest sovereignty dispute between the two countries.

The Battle of the West End Galaxy that brought Yu Lian to prominence in early 830 was of course also within the scope of this star field.

In the past half month, the Outer Rim Fleet relying on Gibraltar and the Three Kingdoms United Fleet relying on the Blood Gate have fought more than ten times in this starry sky, but no one's battle line has moved a step forward.

General Bonaparte did not like the feeling of fighting a stupid war. After all, the empire's national power is far greater than that of the community. What's more, they haven't come to an end yet, and they have dragged the community to exhaustion with just their lackeys. This feeling is simply despairing.

As for Lieutenant General William Sylvester on the far shore, he seemed to be even more distressed than the former: "The four star systems on the front line have fallen, and now we can only retreat and set up defenses. On the 12th, there were Imperial The battlecruiser appeared in the Said system and bombarded our outposts and floating forts. The loss was not great, but it was still a heavy blow to the morale of the entire army. Moreover, because the star system on the border fell, the detection range was also being destroyed. A little compression.”

"Last week, didn't you say that a Barbarossa and two Flame Dragon-class ships were detected?" Yu Lian asked again.

"It's gone." Lieutenant General Sylvester hesitated for a moment: "However, the Commission said that the three dreadnoughts had left the far shore front line and were heading towards the Feimo Nebula along the Holy Emperor Channel. Directional movement.”

"...Isn't it a ploy to suspect soldiers?"

"Lieutenant General Goss said that he would risk his life and fortune to guarantee that this is true information." Admiral Bonaparte talked about receiving it.

Yu Lian was only three-thirds suspicious. After all, the movement trajectory of a giant ship like the dreadnought is still easy to verify. Even if it can be concealed for a while, it will not be fooled forever. There should be no need to guarantee such a thing.

Unless Lieutenant General Goss is a spy, and he is also a dead man who is ready to die generously at any time.

From the looks of it, not everyone in the committee is a loser.

In comparison, the behavior of the Imperial Fleet is actually very disturbing.

"Toward the Feimo Nebula? You can't possibly be planning to cross the high seas to intimidate the opposing alliance." Yu Lian said with a smile.

"This needs to be verified through the Alliance embassy, ​​which will take a certain amount of time. Moreover, I don't think the rubbish from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can verify any serious information." Admiral Bonaparte said.

Well, ever since the war began, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been reduced to a "pig in a dress" because it was completely unaware of the Empire's war intentions. Obviously, when they signed the "Mugubai Agreement" before, they were still a group of "brave warriors on the battlefield of brains and eloquence."

"Because we are not completely sure, we have always regarded the three Dreadnoughts as frontal enemies. In addition, the two Ceremonial Knight-class battle cruisers that bombarded our space station on the 12th have appeared several times, but more Like holding the line for the Embu and Bakwe armies. He did not directly participate in the battle."

At this point, he showed a happy expression: "Now it is almost certain that this imperial fleet should be carried out in conjunction with the mutiny in the Sede Fortress. If the mutiny is really successful and the fortress becomes chaotic, my head will be removed. Let’s go, they will definitely attack the fortress immediately.”

"It was precisely because of the failure that we just demolished a few floating forts. Is this actually to show that we didn't run in vain?" Yu Lian sneered.

Lieutenant General Sylvester spread his hands: "After all, you are here. Our investigation department later discovered that in addition to the two battle cruisers, there were also two assault carriers that passed through the gravity wellhead of the empire. It is estimated that a whole division of armored grenadiers can be installed. In addition, in the Count I 12 system, the fleets of the Bakvi and the Enbu people have also been assembled and can launch an offensive at any time. This is really step by step and no leaks! "

This is probably the method used by the Empire to prepare for the breakthrough to the Far Shore Nebula. First, chaos was created within the Seder Fortress, and then elite armored grenadier troops landed and captured all the senior officials of the far shore defense line.

Then, there should be a full-scale offensive by the main fleet of the Imperial Association Army.

It is indeed a plan of attack with perfect steps and a steady rhythm.

However, what is truly admirable is that even if this plan succeeds, the first batch of imperial commandos to land in Seide Fortress will definitely be the wave with the greatest casualties.

This is probably one of the reasons why the Tirero people were able to conquer half of the universe. During the war, even with a small number of imperial troops and a large-scale imperial alliance army, they would definitely hand over the battles with the highest technical content to themselves. Only the kind of idiots who have no room to move and can only grind meat to fill the lines will let the Imperial Alliance Army be used as cannon fodder.

In this way, although the Tirero troops would suffer heavy casualties in some specific battles, from a macro strategic perspective, the losses could be controlled within a very limited range.

At the same time, the image of the invincible heavenly soldiers will remain consistent.

This is much smarter than some Roman empires that tried their best to maintain the image of citizen legions as heavenly soldiers but did not dare to give up. They relied on barbarian mercenaries to fight tough battles.

Of course, it is indeed much more difficult. Yu Lian thought.

"If the Red Maple Gendarmerie had not been in the fortress at that time, and if Ms. Tai'a had not been there, the defense line on the far shore might have collapsed." Sylvester looked at Yu Lian with a grateful face, but his eyes were meaningful.

"In the final analysis, it's all coincidence. It can also be regarded as a blessing from the spirit of the universe. I just made some reminders. You know, we psykers actually all have schizophrenia and always have weird conjectures." Yu Lian was modest. road.

"Then you are the benefactor of all the officers and soldiers of the Far Coast Fleet." Vice Admiral Sylvester said.

The general's tone was a bit exaggerated, but his emotion was still very sincere, which made Yu Lian feel a little embarrassed.

"Have you found any trace of Herrito Rivers since the fortress was restored?" he asked.

"We found his body in the robot passage in the D-66 area of ​​the fortress. However, it was completely unrecognizable and could not be identified. We could only compare it with DNA information to confirm that it was him. We informed the empire of this information, but They don’t agree and still insist that the real Herrito River has been detained by us or sent to the Alliance.”

"As expected... In the final analysis, what the empire needs is the result of a war." Yu Lian frowned slightly.

"Are you suspicious of that Gerritto River?" Admiral Bonaparte was keenly aware of a clue.

Yu Lian nodded: "I felt there was a problem from the beginning. It's such a coincidence that it's time to go to freedom."

"His younger brother, Peleliu Hewen, is the leader of the Unleashed Organization and was also your comrade during the God of War Festival."

"That's the problem. There are too many examples of brothers and even fathers and sons standing on different sides. Aren't there many such founding heroes during the War of Independence? However, is that Herrito really dead? I I'm a little skeptical personally." Yu Lian sighed.

The two generals looked at each other.

Yu Lian added: "Speaking of which, what kind of Red Maple Military Police Regiment are you talking about..."

"The predecessor is, of course, the Red Maple Factory Guard Team that escorted military supplies from Lumina. I won their consent and directly divided them into 6 brigades for the military police order. 6 brigades in the Sede system. They were stationed separately at the fortress."

Well, Rumina's beetles are energetic and strong, but due to their physical constitution, they are not very good at operating battleships and forts. They are indeed a good choice to serve as military police.

All in all, due to indescribable reasons, the empire's surprise attack strategy failed. They didn't want to fight and retreated quickly. However, before retreating, the imperial warships also swaggeringly knocked down the gravitational wave communication station and reconnaissance space station arranged by the community near the gravity well, and then left with a swaying pace of disowning their relatives.

Even thinking about it with your knees, this is an obvious act of ridicule.

The officers of the Ninth Fleet under Vice Admiral Sylvester already knew the tone of the enemy force on the opposite side. However, the Twelfth Fleet, which came to support from the mainland, was successfully provoked.

This is a guard fleet that conducts route security around Terra and the Pangu Star Sector. It is probably because it has had several very successful achievements in clearing pirates and repelling marauders in the past few years, and it is actually quite arrogant. They ignored Lieutenant General Sylvester's dissuasion and led the fleet in pursuit.

Needless to say, the result was a fiasco. There were more than thirty warships involved in the pursuit, but only eight wounded and exhausted remnants returned.

Vice Admiral Sylvester immediately ordered the execution of Commodore Rupert Bein, the admiral of the Twelfth Fleet, who disobeyed military orders.

...In fact, he was originally arrested and sent back to Earth for military justice. However, Brigadier General Bein shouted loudly that his family was a famous military family and a noble noble. Then, he was slashed with a sword by Miss Tai'a who "just happened to" pass by.

"There have been no nobles in the community for a long time. Since we call ourselves nobles, we can only be spies of the empire. Is that right? There is only one explanation. It must be like this, right?" Tai'a said to everyone.

Lieutenant General Sylvester and all the generals in the Far Coast Military Region felt that what he said was so reasonable, so they reported it like this.

Then, under the arrangement of the lieutenant general, Miss Bai Ziqi, a disciple of the Spiritual Research Society with the Taoist name "Tai'a", quickly resumed active duty and assumed the rank of colonel.

Of course, Tai'a is a fourth-ring psyker. According to the usual practice, it is estimated that after a month or two of the process, she will have to hang up the star.

A universe with extraordinary beings is so interesting. Generals in their twenties are never uncommon, and marshals in their teens are not unheard of. As a result, many ordinary people without psychic powers also enjoyed the benefits of the generals becoming younger.

"Thank you for taking care of me." Yu Lian said gratefully.

He vaguely remembered that Brigadier General Bein was really a well-known young man. His ancestor had indeed held a title during the empire's rule, and his family was now an important supporter of the Co-Prosperity Party.

One can imagine how much pressure Lieutenant General Sylvester was under.

"No, no, no, I should always be grateful to you. I have already said that you and Ms. Tai'a are both benefactors to the soldiers on the far coast." He quickly waved his hand: "Besides, there was a war, where? And Kung Fu’s attitude towards caring about the earth!”

The lieutenant general's voice was loud and seemed tough, but he still subconsciously shrank his shoulders.

The implication is that if it is not a war. He might not be able to bear the pressure.

Well, that’s human nature. After all, Lieutenant General Sylvester expressed his responsibility as commander of the army at a critical moment, and this was enough.

"...And, brother Yu Lian, let me tell you something below the table. Even if she is not a transcendent, she is Miss Bai after all. The Fifth Master Bai of New China is much scarier than the Dukes of Earth."

"Fifth Master Bai is now the Minister of Labor, and is already a part of the Gongun Lords." General Bonaparte couldn't help but interjected: "You feel guilty because you owe a lot of favors, right?"

"Sir, don't you also owe New China a huge favor?"

Indeed, New China was actually the first to mobilize to support the front lines. When the imperial army had just arrived at the city and had not even declared war, Mr. Qi sent seven Sky Survey Eyes.

This is the most advanced deep space exploration equipment provided by the alliance to New China. Whether it is cruise, stability, protection or concealment, it has reached the ultimate level of existing technology. The cost of each one is as much as the latest heavy cruiser.

In the "Battle of Exploration" of the New China Tianshu Galaxy, these automatic deep space detectors made great contributions.

Now that the war breaks out, Mr. Qi does not hide his secrets. He kept one for research, one to continue detecting in the Tianshu Galaxy, another as a spare, and all the remaining seven were sent over.

Since they can pass through the surface of a star to observe closely, and can survive the attack of the giant Leviathan colonizer, of course they can survive under the eyes of the Imperial Army.

To be honest, without these automatic deep space exploration aircraft with both endurance and submersible capabilities, the defenders of the Far Shore Nebula might have become completely blind. Maybe the Galactic Empire has set up a Colossus opposite it without even knowing it.

As for the outer ring fleet, they can even have the reconnaissance fleet get close to the Blood Gate Galaxy for observation with the cooperation of the Sky Survey Eye.

From this perspective, the military does owe a favor to the boss of the New China Sector Government.

...Of course, I still have to add that sentence here, thanking the league veterans for the big Rockets.

All in all, after the above series of battles of wits and chaos, the situation in the Far Shore Nebula has finally stabilized temporarily.

However, the soldiers on the defense line clearly knew that the opponent was constantly increasing their troops, but they had no choice but to defend passively. The morale of the soldiers was still very frustrated.

There is no way, the Ninth Fleet's mobile strength is limited after all. If the outer ring fleet does not "go north" to support the far shore, they will not have the ability to break out of the I Earl Star Gap and counterattack the enemy.

However, how much easier can it be for the Nantianmen of the outer ring fleet than the former?
