Chapter 1629 The Abnormal President
A hint of surprise flashed across Classmate Luo Zeshi's expression. He probably didn't expect to get such an answer.
Yu Lian continued to explain: "One thing to say, Chester, I have always felt that you should be in charge of armaments first, then military affairs, and finally you can become a qualified chairman of the National Defense Committee. People like you, If you just serve as my adjutant, you are actually underestimating your talents.”
Luo Zeshi smiled and said: "I can feel it. But, can I understand that you actually lack confidence in my leadership?"
"You know that's not what I mean." Yu Liandao: "I just think that if your military order ability is 90, your military and political ability is 95, and your armament ability is 100."
Luo Zeshi was somewhat flattered. He felt that if he spoke nicely, the commander's words would be like the sugar was fermenting.
He turned his face sideways, looking ashamed, but he still said: "Well, as a member of the Lion Heart Club and a probationary member of the Pioneer Party, I will accept your praise without hesitation. But, sir, with the war situation going like this, what we need most are experienced frontline officers.”
He added: "Excellent factory directors can definitely be born from excellent workers, but it is difficult to supplement sailors and officers with actual combat experience. After all, we lost more than 4 million experienced veterans in the Miracle Ring."
Yu Lian had to admit that the other party was right. You know, after the war started, Marshal Paris and Chairman Maxell were already thinking of ways to reorganize their armaments, but the gap in the crew was also very large.
Although Yu Lian won a series of victories in subsequent consecutive battles and used the fleet to its limit, it could only barely smooth out this tragic exchange ratio. This was after the empire included the losses of vassal states and border lords.
However, what if one's own exchange wins? The loss of 4 million sailors was a significant loss to the Community Space Fleet. But for the Imperial Army, it was just a matter of sprinkling water without any pain or itching.
Putting aside the various alien nations that serve as cannon fodder and coolies, the Tiruiro people, who claim to be the "Family of the Starry Sky" and "Conquerors of the Stars", have crew members with more than 10 years of sailing experience in the hundreds of millions. of.
The war has reached this point, and they haven't even started the first round of mobilization, and they don't seem to be running out of manpower at all.
"Since strength is not directly proportional, good steel must be used on the blade. I think that I should be considered good at steel for the time being." Luo Zeshi looked like he was doing his job, and then said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Besides, every national defense officer University graduates must have the dream of commanding thousands of troops. Since I have been serving you for a year, I can't just kick me, a student from the Department of Strategic Studies, into the military industry. Department go up?”
Okay, that sounds really inhumane.
Yu Lian pondered for a moment and said directly: "Then let's do it simply. If you have to lead the troops alone, why should you be the second officer? Just be the captain?"
Luo Zeshi didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise, and the smile suddenly froze on his face.
"Zhengqing and Banner are very important to Commodore Bazin. They have already sailed into the empire on the Xiaguang. They have made great achievements in battle. As long as they can return safely, they are qualified to be squadron commanders."
< br>
"The cruelest battlefield is the best place for people to grow." Luo Zeshi nodded.
"Hachiman and Mihir are working as assistants to Teacher Yang, and they have moved to fight three thousand light years away from the Dawn Nebula as Second General Hengha."
"Chief of staff, you could say. That's what they do best."
"That guy Venn is already a captain. Haha, when we said goodbye, he was still a destroyer, but now he may have become a battle cruiser."
"Well, I hope everything goes well. However, he is indeed a born captain and a born warrior."
"Senior Eleanor is only three realms older than me, and she became the squadron commander three years earlier."
Luo Zeshi felt that not only did the chief speak nicely, but he was also really good at instigating him! Anyway, now I can't help but feel excited.
"Everyone has a bright future. How can you be worse than them? Serving as the captain of the aircraft carrier will be a smooth process. You are right. Among the senior officers in the fleet, you are the most familiar with new fighter jets. It just so happens. , everything from aircraft carriers to fighter planes are new equipment, and the conservative old-schoolers are full of doubts, but there are not so many people competing for this position," Yu Liandao said.
Luo Zeshi smiled: "In this way, the lower official will indeed have no pressure."
"It is true that there will be no more pressure. Once you really become the captain of the Enterprise, you have to withdraw from the front line. The first task is to make the Enterprise form a combat effectiveness. Davari Shirozeshi, Aren’t you afraid that others will say that you used the excuse of transfer to escape?”
"I am only worried about how to fulfill my duties now. I really don't have time to consider the opinions of others." He saluted and stood at attention: "Until the successor arrives, I will still be your adjutant. Sir, we expect that in 20 hours After arriving at the White Milk System, the sector commander Mr. Guan Qi Bingwen will greet us there. The test of the new fighter will be conducted there for 12 hours. The fleet is scheduled to start after 23:00 on December 26 and will arrive on December 31. Shanhaiguan ”
This means that everyone can spend the New Year in New China. Despite this overly tight work schedule, Yu Lian is still looking forward to this.
During this time, he had eaten a lot of special beef and lobster shipped from New China, and now he was looking forward to a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
Naturally, everything went smoothly for the rest of the half-day flight.
Yu Lian learned from Zhi Xia and the others that Vice President Hierro left Xin Shuntian after all. After he added to himself the aura of a brave and resourceful hero who "used himself as bait to lure out enemy lurkers and catch them all" through the royal media people who accompanied the group, he was finally satisfied. According to Zhixia, Vice President Ye's current courage is like that of a high-spirited bull. It feels like he is not returning to Earth to continue being Vice President, but rather going back to find another bull for a duel.
Yu Lian expressed understanding. Compared with President Nichita's panicked retreat back to Earth after his assassination, Vice President Hierro's journey can be described as smooth. Rounding it off, you can even say something like "I will command the battle of alienation." , indeed qualified to act like a hero.
Speaking of which, just before Yu Lian arrived in the White Milk System, President Keith Nichta's fleet also passed through the Nantian Gate. Probably because he was at the headquarters of the Outer Rim Fleet, he finally found a little sense of security.
So, after the assassination attack, he finally appeared in public for the first time. I stayed at the Gibraltar Star Port for a few more days and held a press conference, which was broadcast live to the entire universe.
At the press conference, he condemned terrorism, criticized the dishonorable assassination, cursed the unidentified masterminds behind the scenes, and expressed condolences and thoughts for the dead, including Marshal Aylwin. All in all, the whole process was in normal condition, but from Yu Lian's point of view, he always felt that his vitality had indeed faded a lot.
Of course, it is inevitable that some people will ask important questions such as whether the failure of this foreign affairs visit will affect the war situation.
"We are still fighting! We are still fighting! I am still fighting!" he said loudly.
Well, this is quite concise and concise, but it still feels a bit lacking in momentum.
Then another reporter from the alliance asked Mr. Nishita what he thought about the change of leadership of the alliance. He even further issued a document asking how the community should respond if the new government decides to abide by the principle of neutrality. This should be a proper way to stir up trouble.
President Keith Nicita seemed to hesitate for a brief moment, but then he forced out a business smile that did not contain much information: "You know, Mr. Fenno Berenkeist was a student in college. Senior, I have known him since the alumni meeting. He is my good friend and my boss. Brother. He is a wise and determined figure, and he is incredibly powerful. If he brings his talents to the Azure Palace, he will definitely be able to lead the people of the Alliance out of all difficulties, and if we work together, we will be able to defeat all enemies and all destruction. Enemies of cosmic peace!”
As a result, the political reporters at the scene were stunned for a moment, and they felt that this routine was not quite right. The other party's speaking level was definitely not like a ostentatious war leader, but more like a celestial athlete who had not read a few books but wanted to be a civilized person.
Speaking of which, President Keith Nishita was really a celestial telescope when he was in college.
But, then again, although Yani and her father have said that they will run for election, and although the public opinion in the alliance is overwhelmingly full of expectations for Mr. Fenno Berenkeist, the final election has not yet begun after all. You, a foreign head of state, have made an internal decision for the alliance, which is very taboo.
If Mr. Nishita used to be a lively and energetic leader, a contagious speaker and a natural politician who could say a few clichés to make a big pie, now everything he does seems to be a bit cliche.
Routineization is the beginning of vulgarity. In the current political ecology of collective expression, it may also mean the loss of leadership, right? But the current central government of the earth happens to be a multi-party coalition government. This is the natural origin of troubles and contradictions.
And Vice President Hierro, the leader of the opposition party, is even returning to Earth as a "war hero."
There may be trouble with the central government of Eternal City. However, this is to be expected. In other words, it is an unexpected surprise that turmoil has not been possible until now.
However, Yu Lian could not help but be a little more worried about President Nishita, always feeling that there was something wrong with his mental state.
Then again. He has known this old brother for so many years, and this is the first time he sincerely felt worried. This is also a very new experience.
...Well, Yu Lian must admit now that aside from the memories of another timeline, aside from some real political opinions and conflicts of interest, his personal relationship with President Nishita is still quite good. At least it can be considered a friendship where we can sit down and have a drink.
I hope the old man can stand up for himself again.
As for the Seide front line, the imperial army is fighting dust, and of course Admiral Sylvester is also fighting dust.
"Nothing happened today." During the routine phone call, senior Sylvester's expression was very calm.
"Also, my project in the White Milk Galaxy has also started. The skeleton should be finished, right? You can also check on the progress and cheer them up." He added.
"Am I still worried about the construction you are presiding over?" Yu Lian discussed: "I plan to keep some of the supplementary warships and troops sent from the rear for reorganization in the White Milk System. Some new equipment will be tested and The reorganization work can also be done there. What do you think?”
Admiral Sylvester hesitated briefly. He thought for a moment and seemed to understand something, but he just closed the corners of his mouth, glanced at Yu Lian meaningfully, and then nodded too vigorously with a decisive attitude: "Very good. I agree with you. arrangement.”
"Thank you for your understanding."
"But, then again. Brother Yu Lian, the Bai Milk Galaxy is named in memory of the two explorers who originally discovered this channel, Mr. Bai Yuansi and Jason Milk."
Mr. Bai Yuansi is the ancestor of the Bai family and the leader of the pioneers of the New China Sector. As for the other Mr. Milk, after he discovered that there was a possible channel leading to another stable star group for young adults, he sold the information to the Jialan Chamber of Commerce of the imperial royal family and gave himself a noble status.
The two golden partners in the adventure world parted ways.
Later, Mr. Bai Siyuan led the pioneers to farm and mine in New China, struggling to expand the living space of civilization. Lord Milk died in an accident during another royally-sponsored exploration activity ten years after he became a noble.
... There are not so many conspiracy theories. I can only say that an individual's destiny is actually full of surprises in the face of the torrent of the times.
Admiral Sylvester added: "However, according to our country's administrative planning order, once a fortress is built, it should be named after ancient passes and military strongholds."
In other words, this galaxy is going to be renamed? Are you ready to let me get up? Tsk, even in the opposite empire, this is the treatment of an emperor. Is the old senior planning to harm me?
Thinking of this, Yu Lianbai showed a modest and cautious expression: "How can you ask me about this kind of thing? Everything should be discussed and decided by Congress, right?"
"Who asked you? Even if someone really asks you, I will help you reject it." Admiral Sylvester glanced at Yu Lian suspiciously: "Congress has sought the opinion of Mr. Bai and officially named it They are closed for Juyong. Only in this kind of matter, their efficiency is quite high.”
Well, the waterway leading from the far coast to New China is called the Shanhai Waterway, but since the exit is already called Shanhaiguan, and the entrance is called Juyongguan, it seems quite reasonable.
Yu Lian even felt a sense of intimacy arise spontaneously.
Then, at about five o'clock in the morning on December 26, the passenger ship Yu Lian was on arrived at the White Milk System as scheduled. As for the name "Juyongguan", it will be officially launched at the beginning of the new year.
Sure enough, he saw a fortress with a skeleton already built. Of course, the scale is not particularly large, but the structure is very complete, with docks, main guns and living areas reserved, so it is quite complete.
More importantly, there should be room for expansion.
Now that the main skeleton was completed, it was time to expand the cabin. Yu Lian just saw many engineering ships and robots busy around the fortress, like a group of tireless worker bees.
With such a busy work, why do I need to inspect or encourage me? Their project progress is obviously much ahead of schedule.
Looking at such a big construction site in full swing, the song "We workers have power" even automatically sounded in Yu Lian's mind.
He suddenly felt that his whole body was getting excited.
