Him and their stars

The two star systems of Lizhou Yar and Kaido are still some distance away from the Blood Gate Fortress. The high-speed fleet travels day and night and takes four to five days. It can also be regarded as an important transportation node between the hinterland and the frontier of the Kingdom of Cathay.

The Cathay people also invested a lot in construction here. Although the military equipment and defensive strongholds here are not as well-armed as the Blood Gate, they are still quite neat.

Of course, in the face of the full-scale attack by the outer ring fleet, the defenders all escaped without even destroying the equipment, and they all fell into the hands of the Earthlings.

If we rely on the equipment of these two galaxies, we can build a line of defense. Judging purely from the star map, it really has a bit of strategic depth.

Of course, President Keith Nishita’s ideas are never so superficial.

He felt that when the war was won and the empire declared a ceasefire, if we could really hold on to these two galaxies, we would hope to tear off at least forty galaxies, including two naturally habitable planets, from the Kingdom of Cathay.

Those two inhabited planets have a combined population of less than 3 million, but we can immediately immigrate 10 million people there. The Cathay Cats don't have money to develop, but we do. In this way, he can definitely deserve the evaluation of opening up new territories, right? Can’t I, President Nishita, still be given the posthumous title of “武”?

Mr. Nishita is still very satisfied with his idea.

However, the officers of the military advisory group were silent for a while. The military advisory group was composed of four generals and two-digit officers of all levels. Everyone in the military advisory group seemed to be hesitant to speak. They wanted to organize their words but were unable to stop. I can't even express my expression.

Of course, but Marshal Aylwin, the oldest, said in a gentle tone: "I understand your idea and have made relevant plans."

"Oh?" Mr. President's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"...However, we really don't have enough troops here compared to that, so we can only adopt a conservative approach."

"Really?" Mr. President was immediately disappointed.

"Moreover, the Outer Rim Fleet has actually destroyed all the military equipment in these two systems. Even the warehouses and automatic orbital mining machines have been demolished."

"..."

"I understand what you mean, and I admire your vision and courage very much. However, Your Excellency, the wings of dreams of great talents are ultimately based on reality. We have not grown to this point yet. Maybe our descendants will, But we still need outstanding politicians of your generation to continue to pay tribute." Marshal Aylwin said, and then sighed: "Your Excellency, be patient, accept the reality, and then work hard to change the reality."

President Nikita was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Marshal, you are right."

Yang Mingzhao, who was sitting in the corner of the conference room and listened in awe, was in awe of the old marshal's high emotional intelligence.

It's like an old coach coaxing an adolescent football player. One is good at chicken soup, and the other is passionate but brainless. Wouldn’t it be like a movie script if you just give it a try?

All in all, it is now certain that the Kingdom of Cathay can no longer pose a basic national defense threat. So far, there are more than a dozen local lords and local officials within it, who have declared the legal inheritance of the kingdom, and are also vying to wag their tails towards the empire.

If Tianyu doesn't care, maybe this group of people will really start fighting a civil war.

Of course, the Empire can also swallow the entire Cathay regardless of its appearance. However, let’s not mention whether it will put everyone in the vassal country and princes in danger. But we must know that after all, the Kingdom of Cathay is also a medium-sized country with a population of more than 50 billion, and it is still a military system that is very prone to going crazy. At least half of the civilian population has military training. No one dares to say whether an old man who walks tremblingly can suddenly take out a spray gun and fire a few violent shots at the crowd.

Even with the size of the empire, if you want to swallow it directly, you will definitely suffer from indigestion.

Anyway, the situation at Nantianmen has indeed stabilized.

President Niceta still felt a little regretful, but he still smiled: "Commander Bonaparte is worthy of his Marshal's Scepter. Then, can we move the main force of the outer ring fleet to the far shore?"

A major general from the staff hurriedly said: "We are formulating a troop deployment plan in this regard. However, although the situation on the Kaitai side will disrupt the empire's march, they can still use the tactics of light and high-speed fleet raids. "

"How is that possible? The Fortress of Gibraltar is also impregnable, but in terms of the scale of its defense, it is several times tighter than the Fortress. Isn't that right?" the president said, gesturing to Yang Mingzhao with his eyes. After confirming that the latter gave him a nod, he immediately said in a full tone: "Yes, the Gibraltar Fortress is impregnable, and Marshal Bonaparte is also a famous general in the world. How could he be succeeded by a small sneak attack? Moreover, I It’s not like I’m asking you to move all the fleets over.”

The major general of the staff wanted to say something else, but he noticed that Marshal Aylwin had already picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

He seemed to understand something and stood at attention and saluted: "Understood. Your Excellency, we will urge the staff and Marshal Bonaparte to come up with a feasible strategy as soon as possible."

"Mr. President's instructions came very timely. We must not waste too many troops at Nantianmen." Marshal Aylwin added.

"Yes, we must not waste any troops!" The major general's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he stood at attention and saluted the president.

The old marshal is such a kind of person who never leaks water, which is why he has been the Minister of Military Order for more than ten years. Not only the old and young of the Co-Prosperity Party, but also the compradors of the alliance can find no fault with him.

No, after such an interruption, Mr. Nishita felt that he was becoming more and more like a commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and his heart was filled with a sense of honor and pride.

He thought for a moment and then said seriously: "Speaking of which, it was only through us that the local self-government of Terabi had the opportunity to be established. Minister Qiu, your subordinates have already contacted it, right? What do you mean?"

Foreign Minister Qiu Mosen said helplessly: "...the attitude of the Terrabi people has been very clear, and they will still abide by their loyalty."

The president was slightly startled, feeling as if he had heard lines from a costume drama, and could not help but reveal a hint of sneer: "Abide by the loyalty of ministers? Oh, yes, I understand, it is the loyalty of ministers to the empire, right? Haha, in the empire's After being dominated for too long, is it really the only choice between being a slave and not being a slave? Hahahaha, it’s really pitiful, should I sympathize with them?”

Minister Qiu Mosen followed the president and twitched the corner of his mouth without embarrassment and smiled with the president, and then said: "The Terrabi Autonomous Government has requested the empire to appoint a governor and governor. It is said that the Senate is inclined to accept it. During the war, they will It is really difficult to continue official contact with us. If there is anything that needs to be communicated, you can go through private organizations..."

"Private institutions?"

"Yes, a planet development company called the God of the North Wind. It has not been established for a long time, but the staff is still very capable."

President Nihita felt that he had heard this name somewhere. He seemed to have participated in the development of the New World, and had been commended by the Interstellar Development Department. However, he vaguely remembered that this company seemed to have some unclear relationship with the People's Federation.

My little brother Yu Lian, my invincible little brother, why are you everywhere?

The president's mood at this time is still somewhat complicated. However, he looked at the participants who were at least thirty or forty years old and felt that the discussion should not be too detailed, so he nodded with a straight face.

"Okay. The general trend is like this, and so is life. It took a lot of effort for them to have the opportunity to establish an independent country. It is understandable to be conservative. The people of the Blue Star Community also paid countless prices for independence. We empathize with the situation of the people of Terrabi, so we cannot force them. This is the axiom and morality of human beings, and it is also the strategic determination of a responsible big country." The president talked eloquently, with the light of justice shining on his face.

There are some younger secretaries and military officers who are in awe of Mr. President's righteousness, but the old Jianghu people always feel that something is wrong. Marshal Aylwin tilted his head slightly and saw the president's secretary, the young man codenamed "Juque" from the Spiritual Research Society, holding a smart camera the size of a pen.

...Come on. I knew it.

If what he just said was broadcast, who would dare to say that President Nishita is not a light of righteousness? However, Marshal Elwin really didn't expect that Master Lan, a master with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be very good at mediating the disciples.

But, it’s good to know! If not, how could he have become President Nikita's most trusted minister so quickly? thought the old marshal. Sometimes, if you want to do something serious, you have to learn it first!

President Nishita gave Yang Mingzhao a satisfied smile, indicating with his eyes that he could turn off the camera, and then said: "When we actually win the war, the Terrabi people will make smart choices. This Isn’t it a way for us to extend our influence deeper into the empire’s sphere of influence?”

The young officers and secretaries continued to stand in awe. I never imagined that Mr. President, apart from his righteousness, would have such great talents and strategies. How could this not be admirable?

Marshal Elwin wanted to laugh a little. He served as the admiral of the Solar System Fleet for five years, the chief of general staff for five years, and the minister of military orders for fifteen years. He communicated with six presidents and double-digit heads of defense committees.

He has seen too many people who are just talking about "great talents and great strategies".

Although Nishita is the more imaginative one among them, she does not show any fundamental difference.

Then, I saw President Nihita pondering for a moment, and then said: "Everyone, I still think about it carefully. Although the front line pressure in the Far Coast Nebula is great, Admiral Sylvester is mature and prudent, and I have Generals are also born gods of war. With them, the defense line is temporarily stable. The outer ring fleet is the general reserve force and cannot act rashly. Just now, I was a little anxious. "

This time, Marshal Elwin was really impressed. Under the democratically elected system of the community, a leader who can beat chicken blood can only be regarded as average, but a leader who can play chicken blood and still have a cool head is very difficult.

Such people, even if they float no matter how hard they float, can still be saved.

However, Yang Mingzhao, who was sitting in the corner, trembled. He had been Mr. Nishita's secretary for a whole year and was very familiar with his style. Naturally, he felt that the situation should not be that simple.

Then, I heard President Nihita put his hand on the table, pondered for a moment, and said in a low and powerful tone: "The direction of Nantianmen is stable, then should we transfer part of the outer ring fleet to the New World? Direction, to supplement the defense lines of New Yumen and New Lushun?"

As a result, the scene once again became depressingly quiet.

"Of course, this is under the condition of ensuring the combat readiness of the outer ring fleet. As I said just now, the outer ring fleet is the general reserve force and cannot be moved."

Marshal Elwin closed the corners of his mouth, and finally suppressed the urge to reach out and press his temples, but the fist on the table began to tremble uncontrollably.

However, His Excellency the President, who felt very good about himself, did not care at all about the reactions around him. He clapped his chin and thought for a while, then nodded seriously and said: "I have already understood the situation in the New World. The organized militia is indeed quite large, with hundreds of thousands of people, but its combat effectiveness is indeed doubtful. In addition, there are Two small-scale guard fleets. The Xinyumen Shipyard built another batch of lightning strike ships, but they lacked enough outstanding crews."

Marshal Aylwin was somewhat impressed. He is now sure that Mr. President has indeed carefully read all the battle reports and armaments reports.

However, he didn't feel relieved at all.

The well-informed old marshal knows very well that what is more troublesome than a leader who gives random orders but doesn't know what to do is a leader who gives random orders but knows a little bit about what to do.

After all, if the former met a well-trained professional officer, it would still be easy to be fooled.

This is not the case with the latter. They do read a little bit of books, but they think that they can compete with professionals just by reading these books. He is half-informed but self-righteous. At critical moments, he is naturally more stubborn than the former.

President Nishita still did not realize the reaction of the old marshal, and continued to analyze seriously: "Since the beginning of the war, although the empire has not directly attacked the New World, it does not mean that it is safe. No, it is actually very dangerous there. We We must not take it lightly!”

The officers on the staff could only say that Mr. President is right!

"Then, why don't we let the Outer Rim Fleet take over these lightning strike ships? At the same time, take over the defense of the New World sector?" Mr. President asked again.

The officers wanted to continue to say that your Excellency was right, but they always felt that something was wrong.

Marshal Elwin's veins jumped. Normal people know that the general reserve team cannot act rashly, but this guy always seems to be eager to let the general reserve team move more.

Just as he was about to say something, Yang Mingzhao, who was sitting in the corner, stopped recording.

The young second secretary of the presidential palace pondered for a moment, and said slowly, as if he was speaking the objective truth: "This is equivalent to directly merging the New World Theater and the Outer Ring Theater. We must start now. Preparations are being made for personnel and organizational structure adjustments.”

His speech was slow but striking.

Logically speaking, a young secretary cannot interrupt in such a meeting casually. However, Yang Mingzhao is the president's secretary after all. In addition, there is also the third generation senior brother of the Spiritual Research Society, which is equivalent to the representative of the largest occult sect on earth.

His official status is indeed not particularly high, but his influence is no worse than that of any cabinet member or general.

What's more, his words obviously make sense.

The merger of war zones is a major event, and the work involved is intricate and requires preparation in advance.

No, when the officers and members of the National Defense Committee heard this, they all put on masks of pain.

The war zones have only been established for more than two months! Everyone has finally sorted out the organizational structure. We haven't even straightened out the functional division of various combat units and rear departments. So they are going to be merged?

Isn't this equivalent to some leader of the Communist Party of China asking the social workers to rework 90% of the work that has been completed?
