Chapter 1753 War is about harnessing cruelty
Most of the officers and soldiers, including Tai'a, always felt that the commander's pretentious appearance was a bit hard to explain, but the old comrades who had served in the Thirteenth Fleet still operated the equipment without any surprise.
When a row of array cabinet-like terminals flashed, I saw an Enlightenment robot lady wearing a Grand Marshal's dress growing out of a corner of the room like a mushroom growing after the rain. .
Co-author: Does this zero-element fairy like you really rely on network cables to move? Are you saying that you are not a cybernetic ghost?
"Ahahaha, it turns out this is a dragon boat! It's very interesting, very interesting, hmm, it's really interesting."
Yu Lian glanced at Xiao Hui from the corner of his eye. The attitude of this female robot ghost today is questionable. She actually used three "interesting" words at once.
He himself was just using this huge dragon ship as a tool for the imperial devils to break the defense, but look at this, there was an unexpected surprise?
Of course, this does not rule out that Xiao Hui is adding drama to himself again. No, she was looking at herself now, and then started to circle around her in wonder, like a parrot that had eaten too much moon candy.
"By the way, brother Yu Lian, what kind of look do you have? A human pig?"
After all, there were other subordinates at the scene, so Yu Lian decided to pretend he didn't see them. Anyway, he still had enough experience in ignoring Xiao Hui. Of course, the same is true for Feifei.
Fortunately, she was probably very interested in some of the features of the dragon boat, so she just made a few short noises and then disappeared behind the wall of a certain passage.
Immediately afterwards, two screens popped up on the terminal. It was Admiral Sylvester who was still on the Athena, and Captain Tovey and Chief of Staff Mkawa on the Fuxi.
"What is this, a human pig?" Sylvester underestimated, but immediately said: "The general reserve team in my hand is just for this time, right?"
"Of course that's the case." Yu Lian smiled and said: "Please use the fortress cannon and cooperate with the reserve fleet under your direct command to maintain our retreat path, and don't let Marshal Ikenluojia block our retreat."
"They were too late. Brother, you were too fast." Admiral Sylvester said.
Although I know you are praising yourself, it still feels too bad.
Fortunately, before Yu Lian conveyed his dissatisfaction, the other party said: "Actually, Marshal Ikenluojia's fleet is moving very fast, but it can't stop you from going faster! How much time has it taken? You have already captured the fleet. After getting off the Pilgrimage, we also severely damaged the Titan... By the way, what happened to the Tirero Warrior?"
"It's a pity that he failed to sink it, but we won't have to see him for at least a year." Yu Liandao. After all, he was taking two powerful enemies to play stormy passage inside the ship, so he still had some confidence. In fact, if Duke Garibian, a master assistant, was always with him, he might have been able to kill the Titan ship.
Well, let’s leave this feeling of killing a ship single-handedly to the future. The battle is not over yet, after all, there are plenty of opportunities. As soon as Yu Liang showed a ferocious smile, he felt that he was still a little perverted, and he really needed to restrain himself.
"Hahaha, it only took less than two hours. This is a glorious feat comparable to King Suliuka's Miracle Ring Battle."
"Less than two hours?" Anyway, after taking the lightning strike ship cos Iron Man to attack in person, Yu Lian was too lazy to count the time. When I was disturbed by space just now, my senses were even more dislocated. I haven't fully recovered yet, and I am even more insensitive to the passage of time.
"Yes, it has only been 1 hour and 51 minutes since you ordered the attack." Feifei reported back: "Moreover, major breakthroughs have been made in other aspects..."
"A major breakthrough?"
"Yes, in your words, a revolutionary breakthrough."
Would I not know if I had a revolution?
Just when Yu Lian was still confused, he saw the girl saying seriously: "You didn't hold a sacrificial ceremony before the war."
To her, it seemed that no matter what extraordinary things Yu Lian did, he was always very "creative" and "revolutionary."
The so-called sacrificial ceremony is nothing more than burning dolls? I don't have this kind of patience. Just thinking about how to dodge the empire's masters as much as possible is already exhausting my energy.
"It's just a feudal god-seeking ceremony passed down from the empire, and it only lasted a few hundred years. How did it become a tradition across the galaxy? Just stop it."
In any case, Yu Lian really couldn't appreciate the activity of burning dolls and dancing to the gods. What's more, I have "personally" experienced even the events from which the ritual originated, so there is no sense of sacred recognition.
However, General Sylvester had a different understanding of this issue: "In the face of a truly transcendent hero, tradition can give way. Because what you create is the tradition of the future. Yu Lian Brother, all the soldiers are cheering for you! They are also willing to die for you, and they also firmly believe that following you, victory will be easy.”
The other party really praised him too much. Even with Yu Lian's current shame, it was even a little bit unacceptable. While he was in the medical cabin, he wanted to get his head inside. "Sir, I don't want to say this!" Yu Lianda said.
"Why don't you talk about it? Victory? Or die?"
Of course neither is possible. Just as Yu Lian was about to say this, he heard Feifei whisper: "To die for one person, not for the country, this is clearly the beginning of warlordism!"
Tai'a muttered: "Hahaha! It's not just a warlord, it's simply a late-stage warlord cancer."
Yu Lian decided to pretend he didn't hear anything. Anyway, he knew I was guilty and it was only Spring and Autumn.
Fortunately, although the old senior looked a little over-excited and in a worrying mental state, he was also an old bureaucrat after all. Even if he was over-excited, he was generally under control. He quickly regained his composure and began to discuss practical issues.
"The imperial fleets on both wings are still advancing steadily? Our blockade is effective, but it is only effective. It is far worse than my original estimate. I have just received news that Fortress No. 3 in the outer ring is still there. Continue to resist, but it has been determined that Brigadier General Zuo Wanhu has been killed.”
Yu Lian closed his eyes and mourned for less than a second, but then opened them again, his eyes still sharp and firm: "Your original estimate was just a deduction in an optimistic way. At least, the imperial fleet tried its best to calculate, Before you can suppress the gravity well, your construction is successful.”
He wasn't trying to comfort anyone. With limited troops, the imperial fleet can be dragged to this point. Even if it is because this is indeed an era where attacking the weak and defending the strong fortress dominates, the old senior Sylvester, who is born with the Holy Body of Ashes, also It is indeed indispensable.
The old senior's eyes were moved, and he seemed to be really relieved.
Chief of Staff Mkawa said: "According to the original plan you made, the entire fleet will begin to shrink its formation. The cruiser formation will immediately begin preparations for the next lightning strike."
"Very good. Modify the combat plan so that the 7th and 8th cruiser formations are on standby in the T45 star field. It is up to the formation commander to decide when to launch a lightning strike. How about the 4th aircraft carrier formation? Can fighter jets be dispatched?"
After receiving a positive answer from the other party, Yu Lian immediately ordered: "Then press forward, and the remaining two squadrons of lightning strike ships will also attack immediately."
The commander looked like he was ready to throw in all the chips. Although Chief of Staff Mkawa was a little confused, he immediately stood at attention and said: "Understood!"
Of course, Yu Lian believed that a good leader must not engage in mysticism unless there is really no way to explain it, so he said: "I just heard the enemy ship's broadcast when I was on board the Tiruiluo Yongjin, saying that I would not hesitate to do so." Take back the Pilgrimage at all costs. Otherwise, Xiaolong's fast fleet will be dispatched immediately, and maybe she will also move. However, with so many battleships gathered together, there are not many opportunities for such a head-on attack. .”
"Even if the Xiaolong doesn't come, we can still kill the enemy fleet!"
"In the next hour, we will face the most violent counterattack by the enemy fleet. However, as long as we can temporarily repel them, we will have a short respite. This ship should be able to engage with the Fuxi within three minutes. . Let everyone be prepared." Yu Liandao.
Chief of Staff Mkawa naturally nodded and accepted the order.
Admiral Sylvester asked: "What happens after the breather?"
Yu Lian also had a brief, almost negligible silence. He moved his eyes, quickly scanning the dynamics of the two armies on the big screen, and then slowly said: "Sir, you and I both know that this victory will not change the overall situation. In fact, you have already done this. Mentally prepared.”
The admiral showed a difficult smile: "This is my problem. I am obviously old. I shouldn't still have such childish illusions."
"Xiaoguan has said that you just always maintain an optimistic and positive attitude towards our final victory. In this difficult moment, this is the most precious thing." Yu Liandao.
"Thank you for describing your refusal to accept reality in such a fresh and refined way. Brother, with your eloquence, which gives emotional value to your subordinates and colleagues, you should have become the supreme commander of the entire army long ago." General Sylvester revealed. With a hearty laugh, the difficulty and depression just now were swept away.
He said seriously: "Brother Yu Lian, is reality always so cruel? Or is it only like this during war?"
"Hope will always burst suddenly and suddenly appear again, especially in war. I can't feel whether it is cruel or not. Anyway, we are used to it, but we have no choice but to control it."
Although Yu Lian was inside the medical cabin of the aircraft, with only his head exposed, his eyes and tone were unwavering. He really worked hard to make everyone believe that everything was under the commander's control.
"Understood! Please give the order."
