Him and their stars

...Now look at it, this Argonian with a loud voice and full of emotions really doesn't look like the old middle-class citizens of Gem Coast or Sea City.

Of course, he is even less like a typical labor leader.

No matter how impassioned this person was, Feifei could clearly feel a lingering gloom from him.

She glanced meaningfully at the crowd and called the embassy guard captain: "Captain Barnes, ask all soldiers to take action immediately and guard all entrances and exits of the embassy according to the highest alert standards."

Captain Barnes, who serves as the captain of the guard, can probably tell that the crowd gathered outside the embassy today is indeed different from the past. But he still felt that Ms. Colonel was overreacting.

You know, this is Nephi after all, the largest Gem Coast urban agglomeration on the planet and the location of most administrative agencies. There is no way the Alliance would let the demonstrators storm the embassy.

However, he still immediately stood at attention, saluted, and hurriedly carried out the order.

Although Colonel Fina Li only had a temporary position in the embassy, ​​she didn't know why, but her authority among the guards had always been very high. These veterans who came from the road specimen army might hesitate to give orders to the chief military attache, Major General Oswood, but they would never dare to discount Colonel Lee's words.

Is this probably because soldiers with artist attributes are actually very sharp types?

So, under the gaze of the colonel lady, all the resting guards began to move in a hurry.

Three minutes later, a whole company of Marines were in position with their armors on, and their weapons were loaded with live ammunition.

Then, under the high-spirited call of President Nehita, "To overthrow the Galactic Empire, we must first ensure the unity of our free people." These soldiers wearing power armor once again arrived at the gate where the parade crowd gathered. , the electromagnetic rifle and high-carbon crystal battle ax in his hands shone brightly, and the glorious mirror armor reflected the figures of the Alliance people who were shouting in unison.

However, how long will our highest alert last? After Captain Barnes watched Fina Li leave with a satisfied smile, he did not ask this question after all.

He turned his head and looked at the door of the main building. He looked through the entrance hall and saw the vivid and plump face of President Nikita projected on the hall, but he always felt like watching a comedian.

"If the President arrives in person, his expression will be very interesting when he sees this scene, right?"

President Nishita on TV certainly doesn’t feel this. At this moment, he was making the final summary in a sonorous voice: "Today, the people of the community are not only defending this country. We are protecting the well-being of the civilized society of the galaxy, the values ​​of the future of the universe, and all of us. Fight for human brilliance and justice! Thank you all! Glory to the Blue Star Community!"

On the Blue Star Princess cruise ship, after President Keith Nichita looked at the director behind the camera opposite and gave him an OK gesture, the hard-forged business smile on his face finally loosened, revealing a hint of pride.

Then, the directors from CNN and Star Network, as well as the secretarial team who were watching, applauded themselves.

Mrs. Melalie Nicita, who was still full of charm, even blew a kiss to him, with even a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"How is it? Marshal Erwin. Can this speech comfort the soldiers on the high seas?" He looked at the oldest old man in the audience with a sincere face.

This old man wearing a marshal's uniform is naturally the former military commander, Marshal Aylwin, and a veteran of the Revolutionary War. After the original Navy Day incident, Marshal Lao Yun took responsibility and resigned, leaving the position of minister to his old comrade Marshal Paris.

However, after the war broke out, this veteran who was already entertaining his grandchildren at home came out again and served as the special military adviser to the Presidential Palace and Congress. Although he is an advisor with no actual power, the old marshal has served in the army for more than seventy years and has many disciples throughout the army. With his arrival, the Blue Star Community's war preparations have actually become much smoother.

Now, some good people are already calling him, Marshal Paris and Chairman Maxell as the "Three Chiefs of Earth".

This time, President Nikita visited the alliance for military aid issues, and 90% of the issues involved must be military issues. It is of course necessary for the military adviser of Marshal Aylwin's presidential palace to accompany him.

Moreover, although the old marshal is old, he is still in good health, and he has always set himself as an active soldier. Occasionally, he can even compete with the president in his prime, so he does not worry about the fatigue of traveling and traveling.

In Keith Nichta's view, this old man who was over ninety years old was the only one on the ship who could compete with him in terms of the charm of a mature man.

His evaluation is of course very important to him, even more important than his wife.

The old marshal showed a graceful smile: "I don't know how to speak, but I can still feel your surging passion and firm will. Whether it is the spirit of the universe or the soldiers who are fighting, they must be able to feel it. To this point.”

This should be a compliment to yourself, right? President Nishita thought.

yes! In the whole galaxy, which country has a president as vivid as me?

Let's talk about the alliance. Commander Tatos has not recovered yet and has not returned to Nephi for three months. It seems that he is really preparing to use the retirement procedure to resign. As for the acting commander-in-chief, Marshal Ekoka, he was once a famous general, but in the political arena he was just a mediocre politician who kept pace with the situation and was unable to advance or retreat. He was about to be ousted from power by that fierce woman from the opposition party.

Yes, Mrs. Parting of the opposition alliance and the popular young politician named Sandor Orlando seem to have been holding on to matters in Ice Valley City!

If Marshal Ekoca really wanted to ensure his power, shouldn't he choose to intervene in the war?

As long as it intervenes in the war, it can activate emergency bills and avoid all impeachment cases and mid-term elections.

President Nihita felt that he had grasped the truth of alliance politics at once, and his mood suddenly became a little more high. He felt that this alliance and his party would definitely achieve great success.

Yes, the diplomatic problem is not big anymore, we just need to follow the steps. The president thought, then, as the head of state and supreme commander of the community, I should do some serious work.

"Marshal Elwin, after lunch, let's compile the battle reports from various places." President Nishita showed a domineering and confident smile: "Now it is time for me to focus on the military."

Marshal Elwin was silent for a few seconds, and there was a slight stiffness in his smile, but he still nodded solemnly. He really had no reason to prevent the de jure supreme commander from listening to the battle reports from the front line and making arrangements for the actions of the three armies.

Not to mention the complicated mood the old marshal had in preparing for this meeting, the Blue Star Princess, where the Earth Mission was located, continued to move forward along the Grand High Sea.

Escorting this famous cruise ship are two Xiaguang-class heavy cruisers, four County-class light cruisers, and ten Fletcher-3 destroyers. In addition, on the Blue Star Princess, in addition to the experienced crew, there is also an entire regiment of marines transferred from the Huben Division to serve as security personnel.

Such troops are actually enough to handle a low-intensity national war. Of course, there is no need to worry about any pirates or other underworld groups. However, since they were traveling on the high seas, they were in danger of being intercepted by the imperial fleet. Since they were able to cross the Abyss Nebula to intercept the Yulian fleet, it is now possible to intercept President Nichita's fleet.

On the other hand, the attitude of Turank, the local leader of the Grand High Sea Channel, and the Coordinating Minister State is also very ambiguous.

After the Battle of the High Seas, although they showed a considerable degree of submissiveness, they also paid the compensation that should be paid, and dealt with the people who should be dealt with. They even sent out all the large battleships. The main thing was to achieve permanent neutrality. In the future, whether it is the empire or the community, they can bully me at any time, and I will not resist. As long as they give me a way to survive, I will thank the spirit of the universe.

Although the Turan people have a low profile, they have criminal records after all. Who knows if they have some other intentions.

However, President Nishita waved his hand and said in a fearless tone that he would take the high seas.

He said that the soldiers were fighting bloody battles on the front line, but he did not even dare to take the high seas route. What qualifications did he have to call himself the supreme commander? Plus, this is the fastest way to get to Nephi. Now is a time of war, so it is natural to consider the speed of troops.

The earlier we complete our diplomatic offensive, the earlier we can receive military assistance, and the earlier we can relieve the pressure on frontline soldiers.

It must be admitted that President Nikita did show extraordinary courage and sense of responsibility in this matter.

In addition, we must also admit that President Nikita is indeed a very open-minded person. You know, the Blue Star Princess he used this time was the core of the Navy Day incident that year. The ghosts of the high-ranking officials who were shot dead by Brigadier General Morey's men might still be wandering in the cabin.

Of course, one thing must be mentioned. After the Battle of the High Seas, second-tier powers such as Mazawi, Ledora and Minlan were frightened by the empire's actions. With the support of the Alliance, they began to form a huge joint fleet and began daily combat readiness patrols in the High Seas area. .

In addition, after the war began, the Alliance deployed the 5th Fleet in the "Ming Yuan System" at the entrance to the Grand High Sea Channel. This is the Alliance's main fleet including two Titans and five dreadnoughts.

Although the Ming Yuan Galaxy belongs to the Kingdom of Ledora, the alliance has the right to garrison troops. They even spent their own money to build fortresses, docks, and various supporting facilities here.

This is understandable. The Empire can pass through the Abyss Nebula and reach the middle of the High Seas area. They can intercept the Community's returning fleet, and of course they can sneak attack them.

In short, navigation within the high seas is still busy, and there are even more warships than cargo ships. Even if everyone in the Imperial Generalissimo's Office were as smart as Showa's staff, it would be impossible to mobilize the fleet to intercept the Blue Star Princess from here.

However, none of the above is important.

What's important is that President Keith Nishita's move to visit the Alliance on the Blue Star Princess through the high seas was indeed regarded as a symbol of courage, and was even hyped by the Alliance's related media as a fearless demonstration against the Empire. A heroic act.

... Regardless of whether it was fired, just say you are brave or not, right?

And now, this heroic commander-in-chief is about to decide to focus some of his energy on the military.

At the same time, a military meeting was held in the conference room of the Blue Star Princess.

In addition to President Nichita, the attendees were also three other big figures in the mission, namely Finance Minister Donovan, Foreign Minister Qiu Mosen, and Shipping and Transportation Committee Chairman Pinnock.

And of course the team of secretaries to the President and three ministers. We all know that under the parliamentary political system, professional politicians without secretaries are equivalent to Sichuan and Chongqing people without hotpots, 3D districts without Tifa, and dead houses without computers and the Internet.

As one of President Nikita's most trusted secretaries, Juque Yang Mingzhao was of course also present.

Finally, there are the members of the uniform team. The Military Command Department, the General Staff Department and the Equipment Department all have capable personnel accompanying them, and they are all here now. However, these officers actually followed the advice of Marshal Aylwin, an advisor.

A major staff officer first began to report: "The first is all the way to Nantianmen. Now, the main force of the outer ring fleet led by Marshal Bonaparte has returned to Nantianmen. The number of captured enemies along the way is as follows..."

President Nishita's bright smile never stopped when he heard these figures that made him feel very happy.

After all, the Outer Rim Fleet is not an army composed of saints. It is of course unrealistic to expect them to commit no crimes. As long as they do not systematically kill civilians on a large scale, they can be regarded as kings with excellent discipline. But in addition, official looting operations are inevitable.

The rations for ordinary people are pretty good, but they can't squeeze out much money anyway. After all, we are already in the interstellar age, and the setting of driving a space battleship capable of jumping to cattle farming villages to collect food will probably only appear in Hollywood movies.

But in addition, all the military resources, rare minerals, and zero elements left in the strategic warehouse by the Catai people were naturally taken away like a passing storm. Not even the vaults of local banks were spared.

Naturally, the gold and silver must be taken away. Even the banknotes and marketable bonds of the Imperial Golden Dragon and the Alliance Star are actually usable general equivalents.

President Nishita now finally understands why everyone was so warlike in the early days of the Galaxy Age of Discovery. It’s just that the empire opposite has a war-mad system. Isn’t the glorious republic of the Alliance also a virtue?

No, no, my majestic Keith Nishita may have a Benji in the future... Huh, not just a Benji! In the future, there will be a hero with a posthumous title of "Wu". How can he be deceived by a mere amount of money?

Huh, who are you looking down on?

Thinking of this, he tried his best to adopt a cold tone: "So, everyone, is it possible for us to really extend this line of defense beyond the Fortress of Gibraltar?"

Marshal Elwin twitched his eyebrows slightly, and the major who was introducing the list of trophies couldn't help but stop.

However, Mr. President had already stood up, walked to the star map like an excellent and well-trained commander, stretched out his hand and began to gesture: "Yes, can we fortify the Blood Gate... No, from the Blood Gate Continue to branch out and make use of these two galaxies, the Lizhou Yar and the Khado galaxy? There are also fortresses left by the Cathays here, right? In this way, people will not always be attacked directly at Nantianmen. . Everyone, this is considered to be an expansion of strategic depth, right?"
