Chapter 1710 The Empire takes action against Cirke
Claire Belmont pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "You're welcome. Nephi, of course, has great sympathy and admiration for the current situation of the community."
His answers showed that he had received professional training.
The marshal laughed dumbly: "But the specific decision still needs to wait until the end of your country's general election, right?"
Belmont nodded: "It is indeed difficult for the caretaker government to make decisions on major national defense times, but as long as the election is over, everything will be fine."
"We still need everything in your country to be safe, right?"
Belmont continued to nod, then shook his head: "Sir, domestic security is actually a relative concept. You actually have to believe in the power of the alliance. We can handle more than one major event at the same time."
"So, the alliance's decision on war depends on your country's subjective attitude, not objective reality, right?"
Claire Belmont looked at the cautious Marshal with his lower eyebrows, and suddenly felt that this person was actually quite interesting. He was not as mediocre as the intelligence department said. He still needed to continue to observe him.
"Your Excellency, the objective reality is that the Alliance will never sit back and watch the community be annexed by the Empire."
The marshal probably believed what the other party said, or he had no other choice if he didn't believe it, so he laughed and poured the wine for the other party himself: "I remember that your noble officer and Lieutenant General Yu Lian of our country are good friends."
Claire Belmont held her head high and said loudly as if swearing to the spirit of the universe: "Absolutely indestructible friendship, a close friend in the soul!"
"Then now..."
"It's just that his ideas and party made me a little confused, so I had a little conflict. We are competing to see who can speak first and who is the dog."
Are you primary school students? Although Marshal Ferragut thought so, he felt that he might do the same thing if he was offended by his childhood.
As for Yu Lian's ideological problems... The chubby marshal shuddered, and the fat all over his body trembled. He felt that this topic was dangerous, much more dangerous than the current battlefield.
"No matter what, your Excellency Marshal, the team led by this official are now your loyal supporters and are willing to die side by side with you."
Marshal Fei was probably a little moved, but he hurriedly said: "Don't talk about whether you will die or not so tragically. I really want to defeat the invaders safely, end the war safely, and return to my hometown safely to teach my grandson how to cut steaks." . I’m not kidding you, Major General. My happiest time was when I was working as a cook in the Big Apple City and earning two thousand blue coins a month.”
Even with Belmont's expression management ability, he almost broke the defense, but he still held back.
"My biggest dream was to reach the peak of my cooking skills. If I could get a compliment from Mr. Liu back then, my life would be complete! My sons are all hopeless playboys, and only my elder brother The grandson is willing to cook a big snail for his old grandfather to eat...General Belmont, children who like to cook can be saved, what do you think?”
These words were much more sincere than before, and even Claire Belmont couldn't help but be moved.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, the war will end peacefully. It won't take long."
Marshal Ferragut looked at the other party meaningfully and showed a smile of relief unique to the elderly: "Thank you very much. As a young man of your status, if you are willing to say this, I should really thank you on behalf of all the people of the community."< br>
The fleet continued its journey.
Of course, the marshal can just give the order casually, while the junior officers below have a lot to think about. Don't forget, after all, the current local fleet still has the debuff of a mob. Half of the officers and soldiers were gathered from the guard fleets from various places. They were originally selected from the original space fleet, and the other half were simply rookies driving new ships.
Although the method of marching for a long time to let everyone complete the training is very effective and iron-blooded, even if it is really blessed by the spirit of the universe, it cannot always be smooth sailing.
As a result, during the subsequent march, there were four collision accidents during the march and twelve accidental injury accidents during artillery drills. A light cruiser, a destroyer, three assault ships and three armed merchant ships were involved in the accident. It sank with more than 3,000 crew casualties.
As for the question of why there are armed merchant ships in the fleet... this certainly does not mean that the community's military ships are already stretched thin. We must know that when the imperial government launches general mobilization, not everyone can have a formal warship.
Armed merchant ships have always been an important part of all-out war. The important thing is not "merchant ships", but "arms".
In short, after all the troubles, there should have been ten days left on the voyage, but a whole week was added.
The only consolation is that Cherk on the opposite side is working hard, but the Chero Fortress is still calm. Ever since, everything has been calm in New Atlantis.
"With such intensity of training, it is actually quite reasonable that there would be such casualties." said the chief of staff.
Marshal Ferragut did not get much comfort, so he looked at the leader of the Alliance volunteers who had deep trust in him: "Major General Belmont, is the training over there in the Alliance the same?"
"It's always like this. Your Excellency, in the last century, there was a battlecruiser training accident, with more than 10,000 casualties at one time." Major General Belmont looked at everyone's expressions and added a classic alliance Space fleet jokes.
This is roughly what happened to a swaggering battlecruiser conducting double-blind sublight speed cruise training on the high seas. Alliance battleships are always very domineering, and because there are half a ship of training recruits on board, they are even more domineering. So, while turning off the radar for high-speed endurance at sub-light speed, I caught a mass reaction on the other side and sent out an inquiry.
So there were conversations like "Get out of the way now!", "Please get out of the way.", "This is the Alliance battlecruiser!", "This is the gravitational wave beacon."
Marshal Ferragut burst into a vigorous laugh. Although the rest of the people think this joke is actually very common, the leader laughs at you, and you are the only one who is ridiculous. As a result, the bridge of the Tianma was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.
As a result, the haze cast by frequent warship accidents was alleviated to the greatest extent. Generally speaking, the morale of this "rabble" has been guaranteed, and the situation is still very good. However, as the fleet gets closer and closer to New Atlantis, changes in various battle fronts are constantly being sent to the earth, and of course to the Pegasus.
"...The imperial fleet appeared at the New Port Arthur border in the New World? Well, this is all news from April 5th! Why was it only sent today?" Marshal Ferragut finished patting the table and immediately realized that this was I've made a fool of myself.
After all, it is in another universe. There is no instant communication of seismic waves, so the message will of course be much slower.
"Many times, I still feel that I am still living in the classical era and rely on beacon towers to convey messages." Marshal Ferragu looked at the starry sky outside the porthole. He is now clearly in this giant ship that can carry him across the star sea, but he still feels like this.
"What happens next?"
"The Imperial Fleet is temporarily stationed in New Lushun. Because all communication beacons in the system have been destroyed, the size of the fleet cannot be determined." said the Chief of Staff.
Of course, even if it is "temporary", it was "temporary" two weeks ago.
"Don't be afraid, we haven't received the alarm from Nantianmen yet. That's just a technical adjustment."
"Moreover, the main force of the Outer Rim Fleet, which Marshal Bonaparte personally fought! There is also the Fortress of Gibraltar, which has been under construction since the founding of the country!"
"Actually, the General Staff has also considered the possibility of the Empire attacking our New World sector."
"Yeah, I remember coming to the conclusion that...it's not a big threat?"
"The threat is indeed not too great. From the Dawn Passage to Nantianmen, there are actually only two star systems, New Lushun and New Yumen, which are inhabited. The population is sparse, and there are no large-scale military industries or mining factories. Even the glory of the empire The Gate Star Zone cannot maintain the supplies of the large fleet.”
The staff officers made the above judgment in this way.
In short, although this news is a bit shocking, it actually does not completely exceed everyone's expectations. Marshal Ferragut still smiled kindly. He calmed everyone down and ordered the fleet to continue moving forward.
"What, the imperial fleet appears over the Blood Gate? It has been razed to the ground. The entire Kaitai Kingdom is also in chaos, how can the imperial fleet get here?"
"So, it's just a reconnaissance fleet, maybe here to harass?"
"I see, it's still a technical adjustment!" Marshal Ferragut smiled naturally, indicating that everything was under control, and signaled everyone to be cautious and move forward.
"What, over there at the front line, the sixth Titan ship has arrived?" The marshal suddenly stood up and his smile disappeared.
"Yes, it's definitely the Grand Duke Tatrian! The No. 4 ship of the Tireroan class." The chief of staff's voice was somewhat intrusive and difficult, as if he had exhausted all his strength just by speaking.
A titan one level before the Four Seasons God level, an old titan of the same level as Tiruiluo Yongjin. However, no matter how old a Titan is, it is still a Titan, still the pinnacle of military creation, and a nightmare for all countries and races in the universe except the Alliance.
As a result, the number of Imperial Titan ships in front of Seide Fortress reached an unprecedented six.
"The emblems of the eight Dawn Dragons were trampled by them in the black light of the Black Dwarf!" Marshal Ferragut said viciously, biting his back molars.
Krell couldn't help but ask: "...How many troops are there in the Imperial fleet currently gathered in the Said system?"
"Still counting..." The chief of staff's face turned pale.
In fact, he had already seen the real-time video sent from the front line, and he only saw man-made objects that covered the sky and sun, covering almost all the space on the screen.
Even just looking at the picture, even though it was thousands of light years away, he felt like he couldn't even breathe.
It was really hard for him to imagine how Seide "Dragon of Dawn" and his comrades could muster the courage to face such a scene.
...Well, it seems like someone has been ignored, but that doesn't matter.
Krell reminded: "Your Majesty Marshal, perhaps the empire's general offensive in Said is about to begin!"
"...Thank you for the reminder, Claire, thank you. However, in the past six months, he has actually reminded us many times. He has already had the consciousness to keep the enemy outside the country. And we, we We are three thousand light years away, and now it's our turn!" The marshal loosened the buttons on his collar and tried his best to be bold.
He said solemnly: "This is war, and war requires each of us to fulfill our duties! Chero Fortress... No, is there any other movement in the Cirke Kingdom?"
"Everything is fine!"
"The whole fleet speeds up!"
"Understood!"
However, when the time came to May, when the Pegasus and its fleet were only three days away from the New Atlantis galaxy, the news that deserved their most attention arrived as expected.
"An imperial fleet appears in the Xuantuo galaxy on the border of the Circassian Kingdom? Is the Galactic Empire really taking action against the Circassian people?"
