Chapter 1758 I am here, always here
The New Atlantis direction failed miserably. This is of course bad news, but it does not exceed Yu Lian’s expectations.
The Solar System Fleet has always been the most important mobile fleet of the Earth's Gongun Lords. Before the Battle of the Ring of Miracles, it had always been the largest, most advanced ships and the most personnel among all fleets in the community. A neat group, indeed a group of bright and beautiful road specimens.
At least on the outside it really looks like a strong army. This was of course before the Battle of the Ring of Miracles.
After that battle, the sense of security among the Gongun princes indeed dropped to a historical low, but the resources they managed to squeeze out to rebuild the local fleet could only be regarded as a mob.
There was a saying that Marshal Ferragut was able to bring this rabble to New Atlantis within the specified time. Yu Lian was already impressed by the old chief who was a chef.
... Of course, this may also be due to Brother Krel, but after all, he is just a consultant, and Yu Lian decided to ignore him completely.
Yu Lian has always believed that if we want to stabilize the defense loopholes on the border of the New Atlantis sector, we should occupy Chero first. But this is no longer a military category.
Facts have proved that after Brunhild captured Chero first, the movement of the local fleet to the New Asia border had lost its original meaning, let alone the subsequent battle.
"You are right, whether to fight or not is not the final decision of Marshal Ferragut." Feifei said.
It is said that when the mainland fleet arrived at the border of New Asia, Marshal Ferragut was actually quite hesitant, but Alliance military advisor Claire Belmont really encouraged the entire army to press forward. He pointedly pointed out that even if the Imperial Army really occupied Cerro like a deity, their strength must be limited. Although our own side is a "rabble", at least we should have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.
Marshal Ferragut thought this was quite reasonable. The old man has never been a very decisive and creative general, but his greatest advantage is that he listens to advice and knows how to listen to people's words instead of lies.
It is said that Marshal Paris also agreed with this point.
However, before the entire army marched, it was said that they were stopped by the Presidential Palace.
Although the Presidential Palace is the de jure commander-in-chief of the entire army, it still has to speak directly about such tactical issues, which is somewhat abstract. But forty-eight hours later, the Presidential Palace ordered another advance, and even bypassed the military headquarters and issued the order to the Mars Cook. This is the abstract quantum state.
Indeed, until this time, the enemy the First Fleet faced was still only one enemy ship plus 50,000 to 60,000 people in the fortress, and it still had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength - this was a really new experience for the people on earth.
If everyone has high morale, everyone moves forward bravely, everyone is united, and everyone is not afraid of sacrifice, maybe we can really get Chero back.
But we all know that expecting a "rabble" to suddenly transform into such a unified army is probably not as easy as cultivating a nine-ring psychic.
This is exactly the case. It is said that before the war began, the alliance's advisors also formulated a plan to land in three places simultaneously based on their own combat effectiveness. This is actually because they are worried that if the Earth's army, which is not well trained and organized enough, lands at the same point to attack, there will be crowding, collisions and non-combat casualties.
However, the local fleet was only hit a few times by the fortress cannon that Chiero had just repaired, and everyone hesitated to move forward. Marshal Ferragut tried his best but could not get everyone to carry out combat missions as originally planned.
Then, after the empire's reinforcements arrived, the community's home fleet, which was attacked from both sides, no longer had the will to continue fighting.
In fact, this newly arrived imperial reinforcement fleet only consists of 2 battle cruisers, 3 aircraft carriers, 3 light carriers, 12 heavy cruisers and 12 light cruisers each. It can only be regarded as a forward fleet at best. The total strength is only one-quarter of the Earth's native fleet after reconstruction.
But even so, the first fleet, which the Gungun princes of Earth had placed high hopes on, collapsed again. Even the flagship Cook was hit several times by Imperial battleships.
Of course, facing the same opponent, at least most of this local fleet ran away. Compared to their predecessors who were completely wiped out in the Ring of Miracles, it was already considered good.
The military attaché at the Alliance Embassy in Cirk watched the war and expressed his confusion.
"It's hard to imagine that this group and the group in Sede are all members of the community's army. What a shame in the face of their comrades!"
"Is this possible? This is actually the truth. What is the true level of the community’s army? As for Sede’s batch, they are special. ?”
“So, are the people in Seide special? Or are their commanders special?”
Such conversations and reports may be just the feelings of military observers, or maybe they are special. It will be recorded in the report sent back to Nephi. But the specific impact it will have can only be proven by future history.
Subsequently, the Marskook dreadnought retreated to New Atlantis and began to gather the defeated troops to reorganize. However, normal people knew that as long as the empire launched another attack, these groups The frightened mob could not hold on for a long time. If they could get relief from the base camp, they would definitely escape back to Earth without hesitation.
"Just run away. I'm afraid that they are not afraid now, and I'm even more afraid that the earth will issue some random order to resist until death. Feifei, it's better to send a warning to the earth in my name." Yu Lian said helplessly.
"I will immediately instruct the staff to do it." Feifei said.
Feifei is doing things, and Yu Lian is naturally relieved. However, he still couldn't help but complain: "In Xinya, instead of counting on the local fleet to hold on, it is better to hope that the Circassians can show some fighting spirit, so that they can at least harass the Imperial Army's logistics. Su. It will be difficult for King Leuka to maintain an army in this direction."
"It's just the two of us here, so there's no need to be so deliberate." Feifei said with a smile, "You can call him Brunhilt, too. My name is Brynn. This is actually the case for Yanni and I. "Yu Lian thought the girl was fishing, and continued as if he couldn't hear it: "After all, they have always considered themselves as the vanguard of the anti-imperialist army, and they have rebelled against hundreds of people. Years have passed. The royal family of Katun has descended, no. The representative generals have also surrendered. I remember that in addition to the royal family, the military commanders and governors also have great autonomy, but they don't even have middlemen, so they receive assistance directly from the alliance. "< br>
Feifei nodded and said: "Yes, their full name is the United Kingdom of Circus. The entire country's system is not more centralized than Byzantium. Well, maybe not as good as Byzantium during the Macedonian dynasty."
This is too humiliating. Yu Lian felt that the institutional stability and central authority of the Cirke Kingdom were at least equivalent to those in the middle and late Tang Dynasty before General Chongtian entered Chang'an.
...Wait a minute, speaking of which, Cirke's "Chang'an" has really been infiltrated by the empire's masters!
What a poor snapping turtle friend. They obviously didn't do anything, they were just watching the battle. As a result, only a month had passed, and the country was functionally subjugated.
In short, the situation in New Asia has completely deteriorated, and is only marginally better than the worst-case scenario. However, to put it mildly, it should have been within expectations, and it would not be too out of place.
What was really unexpected was that it was in the direction of Nantianmen, which was considered the most strict.
"Gibraltar is indeed in a hard fight. Marshal Bonaparte is indeed trying to maintain it, but it is almost impossible to send reinforcements here." To be honest, Yu Lian has no hope. Reinforcements can also be obtained from Gibraltar. Everyone must admit that Marshal Bonaparte and the Outer Rim Fleet have done everything they can.
Last year, just after the Battle of Kaitai, when the Yu Company led troops to the direction of the far shore Nebula, they took away all four Lord God-class ships and eighteen Yinglong ships. Ten of the class strategic cruisers, as well as half of the new battleships and a large number of experienced crews.
At the critical point of the "intermission" of the battle, Marshal Bonaparte met the requirements of Yu Lian and Yang Xiyi and sent another part of the fleet to New China, allowing the exhausted Yang fleet to finally Got a breather.
In addition, when newly trained recruits are sent to Terra, Marshal Bonaparte will try to keep the recruits while ensuring that the functions of the warships in each department will not be imbalanced, while sending the veterans of the fleet to Cyprus. Need reinforcements.
Up to now, the outer ring fleet stationed in Gibraltar has only less than half of its strength at its peak. Considering that it is filled with a large number of rookies, its combat effectiveness may have been less than 40%.
At the core of the battle are four old-fashioned independent-class Dreadnoughts. They are also the few remaining veterans of the independent class that accompanied the establishment of the community.
However, even with this small amount of troops left, Marshal Bonaparte and Yu Lian are still relatively optimistic about the future war situation.
After all, after the Battle of Cathay, the only enemy Gibraltar had to deal with was the New World behind the Nantian Gate. This is actually the fundamental reason why Yu Lian wanted to defeat the Blood Sect in a sneak attack, and then the whole army must take the initiative to attack and burn most of the Kaitai Kingdom to the ground.
After all, it is war, the most cruel activity that eliminates all kindness and gentleness. Yu Lianke can't care about how many Cathay people will be displaced and their families will be destroyed as a result. As long as it can eliminate the threat of Gibraltar being attacked from both sides, this is a price that can be paid.
The facts have indeed proved that this approach is effective.
In the next half year, the empire completely lost the possibility of attacking Nantianmen from the direction of Blood Gate. By the entire year 834, the largest fleet that had arrived at the Blood Gate was just a reconnaissance force.
The job is much easier if there is only one direction left to defend against the enemy.
Of course, in order to maintain his direction, Marshal Bonaparte did not even consider a decisive battle with the imperial fleet in his own territory in the New World, but instead shrank his power to the Gibraltar galaxy.
This move is slightly conservative, but understandable. With the current combat power of the Outer Rim Fleet, Gibraltar can rely on its home field to play defense, but it is almost impossible to face the Vulcan Ai Ran head-on in a certain undefeated galaxy in the Western Continent.
Of course, this also means that there are more than three million soldiers and civilians on the two inhabited planets of New Lushun and New Yumen, as well as at least 200 million people with community household registration. The people are all abandoned.
For this issue, Marshal Bonaparte apologized to Yu Lian. However, Yu Lian fully understood this.
This is a war after all, and both sides are placed in the furnace. Armies, ships, farmland, factories, cities, planets, and the fate of every ordinary person are just part of the fuel. This is true for the Empire and its allies, and of course it is also true for ourselves.
Yu Lian knew that Marshal Bonaparte had equipped a large number of powerful forts around the star gate - compared to the vast starry sky, a star gate the size of an ordinary planet would be much easier to aim at. Once the Imperial fleet pours into the Gibraltar β system from the Star Gate, it will inevitably encounter a concentrated fire.
For example, Polaris Company produces the Tiangong MK17 turret. This space equipment is equipped with an Alliance Dreadnought-class ion cannon. As long as it can hit accurately, it can still shake the Titan ship.
And just for this kind of fort, twenty of them were built around the star gate in the outer ring.
Yu Lian is not clear about the fleet deployed by the empire in the New World. However, he felt that in the face of such a defense, even if the empire concentrated more than twice the strength of the Nantianmen defenders, it might take a week or two and sacrifice a large number of ships and soldiers to break through the Nantianmen. Tianmen.
Then it was a tug-of-war in the Gibraltar galaxy. At this stage, the people on Earth still have the home field advantage.
“So, Nantianmen has been breached?” Yu Lian asked.
Feifei smiled bitterly and repeated the report: "The Vulcan Airan has broken through the Nantian Gate and entered the Gibraltar Beta Galaxy. Everyone is fighting around the star gate."
"This is equivalent to laying a bridgehead in the Gibraltar Galaxy. . Why is it so smooth?" Yu Liandao.
"The Imperial Army... adopted the tactics that Teacher Yang used at Unity Fortress."
Yang Xiyi has used many fantastic tactics. Yu Lian was curious about which one it would be. It couldn't be like igniting a black hole inside the Fortress of Unity, right?
“However, it was still called the Devil’s Throat at that time.” Feifei added.
Yu Lian understood immediately, but still asked in disbelief: "Rush, rush the car?"
"Rush the car." Feifei made a affirmative gesture with a heavy expression.
“But, what to use?”
The reason Teacher Yang was able to use the rush car was because he had ready-made materials, and the Leviathan was killed by his own mental techniques. However, when the Leviathan's insect shell broke through the thickest armor wall of the Demon's Throat, it was already shattered. But where did the empire get such a solid body that defies physics?
"Just use unity to conquer yourself." Feifei said.
Yu Lian was startled for a moment, and then he immediately understood something. He couldn't help but sigh: "Can this be considered retribution in this world?"
"Retribution? I don't believe in this. Even if there is, it should be. Report to the Empire "Enter." Feifei said proudly: "In this war, we stand on the high ground of justice. This is the only thing you should not deny."
"Yes, Colonel Fina Li, we are." A just fight is going on now War." What she said was very reasonable. Of course Yu Lian could only agree:
"It's just that our enemies are evil but powerful. They have never been fools, even in this civilized generation. , the most successful war race in the universe. It’s such a simple thing to show mercy to the enemy. How shameful!”
“It’s not your fault, and it’s not your defense zone.” Feifei quickly comforted her.
Yu Lian didn't realize it, and said loudly: "If you get carried away! If you get carried away, you will definitely be unlucky! I will definitely make mistakes in the future, and even make similar mistakes. Feifei, someone must remind me."
Feifei Looking at his lover crying in the jar, he replied naturally: "Okay. Yu'er. I'm here, always."
