Him and their stars

"To be honest, you have done everything you can. After the imperial army came to the border, every minute and every second, the number of people who wanted to kowtow to the Dragon King increased. However, every victory in the New World spreads to the mainland, just like the stars The bright flashes always turn into the courage of those of us who resist. Now, you have been fighting under the siege of the enemy army for a year. Even if all of you are withdrawn from the New World, you are still the Blue Star Community. "Hero."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Lian felt that he was a bit hypocritical, but he still lowered his body a little and continued: "I guarantee that you will get the treatment and honor you deserve! Even if it is not right away."

There was a brief moment of silence. Yu Lian even heard someone whispering, but he was not prepared to stop it.

It was Horatio Venn who spoke next.

The red-haired man asked with great interest: "So, what is the composition of the reinforcements? Are there new battleships? Is there an overstaffing of personnel? We actually lack everything now, including ships, ammunition, energy, and grain, but The biggest shortage is personnel.”

Indeed, the ship can be repaired, the ammunition can be filed directly, and the battery can be refined by oneself. Everything can be solved with local methods, but trained crews are non-renewable resources. Yu Lian could imagine that Yang Fleet would not be able to get this kind of supplement in Yaochi and Miracle Ring.

As the adjutant of Yu Company, Luo Zeshi replied directly: "The one million recruits sent from the mainland are in transit at Nantianmen. They will all arrive at Xinshuntian before January 30 to assemble, and then they will be transported to various front lines. Unit. There should be more than 100,000 trainees who have completed basic ship-handling training."

The crew of the battleship is a technical branch. They are not just fill-in-the-line babies who can be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield after just three months of training. However, the 4 million crew members who died in the Ring of Miracles were really killed. Incompetent leaders were used as cannon fodder.

This kind of gap may not be filled until the end of the war.

However, the National Defense Commission and the High Command are also doing their best. Counting this batch, they have recruited and trained more than 10 million recruits, and there are nearly one million trainee crew members who can barely be used.

Half of these people stayed in the Terra sector to rebuild the local fleet, and the other half were sent to the far shore theater.

Yu Liandao: "Separate 30,000 rookies and send them directly to Bai Yujing."

We can't use any rookies here! There is no time to wait for them to grow up. Just as Wayne was about to say this, Yu Lian said: "These people are used to fill the vacancies in the New China Guard Fleet. I have convinced Commodore Ducasse to let him transfer all the official personnel of the guard fleet who have served for more than three years. The crew list and detailed information have been compiled for you to choose.”

The friends behind the star gate who have known each other for many years, as well as the captains who did not know each other very well, all showed moved expressions.

"Coupled with the retired veterans in the transport fleet and the civilian reservists, the total number is less than 20,000 to 30,000, which should be able to make up for your shortcomings. They have beaten Leviathan, and they should also be able to beat the imperial devils." Yu Liandao .

Of course I want them all! Wayne, who looked like he was knocked unconscious by the pie falling from the sky, was about to say this, but Yang Xiyi said: "Here at New Yumen, Brigadier General Dukas will probably have some complaints."

"He was not just complaining, he was crying and told me that the guard fleet had been taken away by a group of elites to replenish it and it was full. He really didn't have a few kittens and puppies left in his hands. I really want to be guilty. It’s better to take him away than to take out his bones.” Yu Lian spread his hands and said:

"I didn't expect that Brigadier General Ducasse would be so ambitious at such a young age, so I complied with his request."

"...What does he have to say? As the fleet commander, I have the need to review the mental state of all senior officers who join." Yang Xiyi said.

"Don't worry. Brigadier General Ducasse is very touched. He is full of gratitude to me and full of expectations for his future life. He is also devoted to you and will definitely obey your orders wholeheartedly."

"I'm also looking forward to it. Who would refuse such an experienced senior to join his team?"

As for the empty New China Guard Fleet, of course there are also officers who serve as deputy... After all, the local guard fleet is the stepmother, who cares? Anyway, so far, this fleet has a lot of personnel but not many ships. It really can't perform any combat missions, so it can only guard Shanhaiguan and train new recruits.

Luo Zeshi continued to add: "This is the situation in terms of personnel. The National Defense Commission and the theater have also considered recruiting a large number of mercenaries, and many of them are old crew members. However, the situation of the Dawn Nebula is special, and they are not trustworthy."

"This is good. Since ancient times, mercenaries have only been used to fill lines and do dirty work. We can only rely on good families like us to fight tough battles." Horatio Wayne said.

What the hell are you a son of a good family, a well-connected family! Yu Lian glanced at the other party.

Luo Zeshi then explained the warship aspect in detail.

A total of forty-two battleships were sent as reinforcements from Nantianmen. The only cutting-edge battleships that could be considered truly cutting-edge were the battle cruiser Hyperion, which had been in service for more than five years, and the aircraft carrier Enterprise, which was in its testing period. But even so, their total combat power on paper has actually exceeded Yang's fleet.

Of course, this was the force that Marshal Bonaparte squeezed out from his teeth. This was because the Kingdom of Cathay in front of him had been burned to ashes, and the Terrabi people were still clamoring for independence and founding their own country, which could not sustain the imperial fleet's attack. situation.

Akinayama Hachiman said: "So, except for the Hyperion, which is the new Yinglong class, the rest are all old-fashioned Archangel class?"

"Don't look down on the Archangel. How auspicious is this model?" Yu Liandao said.

Although Wayne didn't understand where Jixiang was, he agreed: "Whether it is useful or not depends on the actual combat effect. Although the protection and firepower of the Archangel class are not as good as those of Yinglong, after all, the speed is not lacking. And, after all, it is also War patrol!"

He is a standard cannon and giant ship guy. When he was an intern, he was the fifth assistant gunner on the Dauntless. His biggest dream was to have his own Dauntless. He had been fighting against the empire in a small boat for many days, and he was eager to change to a bigger one.

"Yes, it is also a battle cruiser after all." Senior Sister Eleanor was also very optimistic and said to Yu Liang: "However, I am more interested in the Enterprise you mentioned. Of course, the aircraft carrier does not matter, I am more interested in it. It should be a Type 33 fighter.”

I remember that when I was in school, my senior sister was also a typical academic fan of artillery and big ships. Unexpectedly, she has become an aircraft carrier fan now. Considering that she had been working with Mr. Marklov before, it was of course another example of someone close to the elite.

"The test should be completed in a month. The fighters currently equipped on the Enterprise are all White Devils, but there are still three squadrons of hangars that are empty, just waiting for these new fighters to complete the test, and then they can move in directly. ." Luo Zeshi reported quickly.

"Is it officially called Red Ghost? It sounds like a modification of the Ghost Machine." Yang Xiyi pondered.

"If the empire also believes it, that would be the best... Well, wait, what I have been asking just now is, if you all want to stay in the Dawn Star Territory and continue fighting, why are you so confused that you start raising armaments? ." Yu Liandao.

Eleanor Bonaparte pursed her lips and smiled, quite like a lady, but Ina Sirica, who was born as a spirited little girl, even laughed out loud, as if she heard a very funny cold voice. joke.

They were the only women present, so they could probably express their emotions frankly.

Yu Lian also laughed dryly. Of course he understood that everyone was already answering with a positive attitude.

Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses and said seriously: "If we come back, sooner or later we will appear in front of the public. By then, the Star Gate will definitely be exposed."

"...However, when the reinforcements from Nantianmen show up to join you, the Imperial Army will find some clues sooner or later." Yu Liandao.

Yang Xiyi nodded: "That's indeed the truth. Therefore, I plan to change the hull numbers and coats of arms of those battleships and replace them with the numbers of the remaining battleships of the expedition fleet. Thanks to the Galaxy Empire, it will always report to the whole universe as soon as possible By playing the battle report of the sinking of the battleship, we can know for the first time: besides us, there are other fish that have slipped through the net.”

Since the death of Admiral Picard, all the dreadnoughts of the expeditionary fleet have been confirmed to have been sunk or captured, but some battle cruisers and aircraft carriers have still escaped and ascended to heaven. However, except for the confirmation that the Chimera battlecruiser is still hiding on the seabed of Yaochi, the rest has been lost. Of course everyone hopes that they have escaped from the Dawn Nebula, but objectively speaking, this is unlikely. It is more likely that they have completely lost their power and fallen into the corner of some galaxy.

However, even if these battleships have fallen lonely in the dark side of the galaxy, now after Teacher Yang's operation, they can continue to fight in a different way, and they should be able to be kind and be kind. perhaps……

Thinking rationally, the existence of the Tower of Babel cannot always be a secret, but after all, it is a time of war, so it is natural to keep it hidden for as long as possible.

"We once thought that we were alone and helpless, and sooner or later we would turn into the dust of the stars. We were all prepared to fight to the end, but now we have a way out and backup. In this case, what else is there to fear?" Horatio Vane knocked his fist on his palm and said seriously:

"On the contrary, I am worried that with a way out, the fighting spirit of the soldiers will be weakened. As expected, we still need to work hard to rectify the military affairs."

Based on this guy's popularity among ordinary officers and soldiers, he probably wouldn't be hit with a black gun, but it would be very disgraceful if he was put in a sack. Yu Lian is full of malice.

Yang Xiyi directly concluded: "If we consider the overall strategy, we should continue to fight in the New World. With this batch of reinforcements, I have the ability to defeat all squadrons chasing me head-on. Lieutenant General Yu Lian, You should know best what happens next.”

The empire can only continue to expand the size of the fleet, which will leave more usable space and channels in the Dawn Star Territory. At that time, the Galactic Empire will either have to accept the presence of Yang Fleet in the Dawn Nebula, or it will have to send more troops to the New World.

No matter which one it is, it can effectively contain the power of the empire and relieve certain pressure on the local battlefield.

"What's more, if I return to the local battlefield, I'm afraid I will have to go to the fortress to fill in the lines. This is not my style." Yang Xiyi said.

"That's not the case. Marshal Paris has said it more than once. He hopes to transfer you back to Earth to serve as the chief of general staff." Yu Liandao.

"Then, isn't that too bad of a rule?" Yang Xiyi was shocked.

"Rules? Are you talking about rules here?" Yu Lian was even more shocked.

Yang Xiyi's consternation turned into obvious distress, and even his eyebrows dropped: "This is really troublesome. If you really become the chief of staff, won't you have to go to Congress and the Presidential Palace for meetings from time to time? "

"Indeed. And you have to wear formal clothes every time, and you can't even have wrinkles on your socks."

"This kind of attire doesn't suit me at all."

"...However, fighting in all directions in the Dawn Star Territory, working hard and sleeping late at night, waiting for the day to come, doesn't seem to be in line with your style." Yu Liandao.

"Well, actually, I suddenly felt that it would be quite interesting to play hide and seek with the fleet. Moreover, compared to being guarded by the leaders back on Earth, I have to say good morning to the big shots every day and go to their meetings. During the cocktail parties and banquets, I felt that even Major General Maytig’s face looked much refreshed.”

Major General Maytig was originally a handsome man with both civil and military skills.

In this way, the "Joint Operations Conference" between the Far Coast Theater and the New World Theater naturally came to an end. Probably because everything was carried out very smoothly, and everyone even had some time to chat casually about home affairs.

Yu Lian then knew that Ina Sirica had indeed reached the fourth ring, and the material for the promotion was provided by senior brother Sonny Grant.

Yu Lian also knew that Brother Grant planned to stay in the Yang fleet and serve as an occult consultant. As an alchemist, his abilities are of great use to the army. In addition, high-purity zero elements can always be found in the Dawn Nebula, which is very useful for his practice.

As for Brother Jin and Sister Natalia, they had left the Ulysses on their own small passenger ship long before the Yaochi counterattack, so they naturally had their own things to do.

With the power of a majestic saint, it should be easy to take a small boat out of the empire's encirclement and leave the Dawn Star Territory.

"However, Mr. Grant and Mr. King both asked me if I wanted to join the spiritual seminar... Although I was very tempted, I still refused. Mr. Grant still doesn't bother to pay attention to me."

"This must be the fourth time you have refused, right?" Yu Lian was really curious: "Actually, the Spiritual Research Society is very accepting of all kinds of people.

"But, after I get started, I will be Mr. Grant's disciple, right?"

"You are a hunter, more likely a senior brother."

"Then don't you become a master uncle?"

"ha?"

"Xiaguan means that I still fall asleep when reading the Tao Te Ching. I can't even meet the basic entry requirements, right?" Ina shook her head seriously.

Of course, this is an excuse. The main reason is because she is just a spiritual girl who is obsessed with interstellar martial arts dramas.

"I still prefer to go to Xinyumen to count the sand. So, I used the subsidy to buy a manor on the outskirts of Tulong City, which can be regarded as buying some property. The empire has not attacked Xinyumen yet, I hope it still does. "She looked at Yu Lian faintly, her red eyes seemed to contain a thousand words.

Of course, Yu Lian pretended that he didn't see it, so it was all just an illusion.

In short, this can certainly be regarded as a successful meeting, a victorious meeting, and a progressive meeting.

Subsequently, a document was sent from the opposite side of the stargate via gravitational waves, including the fleet's combat report and navigation log during this period. Of course, it also includes letters home from all officers and soldiers.

They have arrived at the star gate and can use the signal relay to connect to the mainland and make instant calls with their families. But everyone knows that this is destined to fail.

"Actually, you can still call Sister Jessica and the girls, and at least chat for a minute or two. It's been almost two years since you were transferred to the New World."

"Yes, a person like me can actually live without home for two years. If I told myself this two years ago, I probably wouldn't believe it. The girls might even forget what their father looks like. Me …”

"You don't have to blame yourself too much. With your ability to take care of yourself, going home won't actually help you much. Considering that Sister Jessica is also a minister now, she shouldn't have much time to take care of you. When the time comes, we will have to let those three The little girl is taking care of their useless father. From another perspective, you are reducing the burden on the family. "

"Thank you very much for your comfort. I won't need to comfort you next time."

In fact, Yang Xiyi was still a little moved, but in the end, he shook his head heavily and sighed: "Since other soldiers do not have this condition, of course I do not have the qualifications to be special. Officers and soldiers are one, sharing life and death." Adversity is the basis for surviving all hardships. What's more, I also hope to give the empire a counterattack. The more I do, the less likely I am to be distracted."

"Fight back?"

Yang Xiyi looked around and made sure that he was the only one still online in the conference room, and then said: "I told you that I would set up an ambush for Major General Maytig."

Yu Lian wanted to ask again, but since Yang Xiyi was not prepared to go into details, he didn't bother to ask.

He was about to end the meeting, but after a brief silence, Yang Xiyi suddenly said in a solemn tone: "Compared to the New World, the real outcome of the war will be determined by the mainland. Yu Lian, you must be ready to fortify the fortress at any time. Be mentally prepared to lose. No matter how hard you manage, you can't hold the fortress."
