Chapter 1765: Japs of all eras love city entry ceremonies
It was already May 20th when Yu Lian received the news of the fall of Saide Fortress.
His cells were so active that he hardly looked like a serious carbon-based creature. By now, he had completely recovered. Naturally, he no longer had to soak in the jar and returned directly to his loyal ship Fuxi.
Yu Lian just made a cursory inquiry about the general casualties. When he learned that Admiral Sylvester's life or death was also uncertain, he just remained silent for a few seconds and nodded expressionlessly: "I Got it. Is the fortress disintegrated? "
"Nearly 60% of the fortress body has been disintegrated, and the soldiers of the two armies involved are countless. Now, the empire is making full efforts to rescue them." The staff officer in charge of the signal monitoring department pondered for a moment and then said:
"...In addition, as for Sede, the number of our soldiers who were forced to lay down their weapons has reached 370,000. This is determined from the public military report just released by the Four Seasons God."
Since it is the empire The public military reports are actually credible. The proud Tirero people rarely lie in their battle reports. As the greatest conqueror nation in the universe, they really cannot afford to lose this man.
Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried about whether he would hear the news that hundreds of thousands of soldiers died generously. Although such behavior is tragic and tragic, it is meaningless and will only become a historical scar that cannot be healed.
These soldiers have already dedicated enough blood and loyalty in the Battle of Said. As abandoned sons, they remain unwavering and fulfill their duties. They are certainly qualified to look to the future of life. Now I'm in a prisoner of war camp, but I can still count myself escaping from this battlefield.
I would also like to thank the empire for its human supremacy. As long as they are human beings, they will rarely be mistreated even if they are prisoners of war. You can even get paid for mining and growing potatoes in prisoner of war camps.
Of course, there are a small number of non-human race warriors in the Said garrison, but of course all those who can board the ship are also on board.
As for the real reason for the disintegration of the fortress, whether it was due to the imperial army's attack or other reasons, Yu Lian no longer wanted to delve into it. He estimated that the empire on the opposite side would not be too busy to issue a detailed investigation report.
Yu Lian really hopes that the old senior can be more flexible this time.
He is a general. Even if he is a prisoner of war, the empire must provide him with good food and drink according to the standards of a noble lord. Wouldn't this increase the empire's war expenses in disguise?
Unfortunately, judging from the current battle reports issued by the empire, there is no information in this regard.
At this time, bad news from other fronts arrived on the Fuxi like snowflakes. In comparison, the bad news that was already scheduled to happen was actually nothing to Yu Lian.
"Where did we talk just now? By the way, New Atlantis in the Olympus sector. It has already fallen, hasn't it? This galaxy is home to two billion people People, there should be quite a few space stations that can be converted into fortresses. Remember, the various garrison garrisons alone number at least 50,000 people."
"The three garrison divisions have 50,000 people, and the five Marine Corps divisions that have just been restored have nearly 100,000 people. We are undergoing the fourth phase of training," Feifei said.
The so-called fourth phase of training refers to the training process of the Blue Star Community Marine Force. Generally speaking, by this stage of training, the army has generally been formed, and even weapons have been issued to the companies. In theory, they should be able to enter trenches and fill lines.
In addition, Yu Lian still remembers that New Atlantis does not lack array turrets, planetary shields, large anti-air sentry guns and other weapons. The guard fleet in the Olympus sector also has thirty or forty in-system gunboats and fighter aircraft platforms. Even if it loses reinforcements from the local fleet, it is not completely defenseless.
However, they surrendered easily.
That's not the only thing that's irritating, though.
The New Atlantis galaxy alone has more than 2 billion people, and the total population of the entire Olympus sector exceeds 50 billion, but now only 100 million people have been mobilized. Ten Thousand Marines?
This war, which is obviously aimed at destroying the country, has been going on for almost a whole year. Xinya is still playing music and dancing, right?
Yu Lian suddenly felt that he was like a clown when he was busy mobilizing every ounce of his fighting power like squeezing out toothpaste.
Do these guys treat me as a watchdog? Haha, how brave you are!
His fingers tapped the table lightly, but his expression did not change much. He said calmly:
"Colonel, please continue talking."
Intelligence Staff Officer Colonel Singer took a careful look at his commander and made sure that the other person's mood should be quite stable, at least not showing any obvious anger. Then he bit the bullet and continued to report: "Yes. The Angel of Dawn is today." They arrived at Night City at 8:27 a.m. As for the defenders on the Xinya side, they really resisted... very unresolutely."
"They must have surrendered in the face of the wind, right? When they suppressed the workers' uprising in Night Town, weren't they still very vigorous? At this time, they are probably holding the entrance ceremony for the conquerors of the empire, promoting their greatness in returning to the embrace of the empire?" Yu Lian sneered. .
Colonel Singer had a complicated expression and seemed to be a little restless.
"Of course I'm being sarcastic. But from the look of you, Colonel, I must be sarcastic to myself."
"Excuse me, I'm ashamed of myself." Colonel Singh He looked ashamed.
“If you do have some bad news, just tell it as well.” Yu Lian said gently: “I can be considered a professional, no matter how bad the news is, it will not cause too much trouble. Big touch."
"...this one. , Your Excellency, it’s actually not completely bad news.” Colonel Singh, who was born as a national intelligence officer, looked very stressed, but he did not dare to hide it, and said cautiously: “It’s just that at five o’clock, Xinya’s Night City. An entry ceremony was held.”
Another city entry ceremony? All devils in any world have the same moral character.
“Chief Halderi of the Olympus Sector, along with all the senior officials of the Sector Government and Guye City Government, knelt down to the representatives of the empire.”
Yu Lian It really wasn't too touching, I even laughed out loud.
“I have vaguely heard of this name.” He said.
“Not only did you hear it, but you actually saw it twice. Chief Daili is a loyal follower of President Nikita, and he was also a classmate in middle school. Before following the president into politics, he was a A very famous and popular TV news anchor.”
Since he is a TV anchor, it is reasonable for Feifei to know him, but Yu Lian still can't remember when he saw this person. He probably regarded him as a passerby at a party.
But after all, he is the chief executive of the great star region. In the political sequence of the entire community, he is definitely one of the top 30 people in the power list. I never thought that my knees would be so weak. I just kneel down like this. Kneel down?
“Is he kneeling to King Suliuka?” Yu Lian was still a little confused. If nothing else, Brunhild really didn't like this tone. Her arrogance can be engraved in her bones. She is willing to see her enemies surrender in spirit, but does not need them to surrender physically to establish their majesty.
"King Suliuka did not attend. The person who presided over the imperial army's entry ceremony was actually Lieutenant General Ostana Bal." Colonel Singh said.
Well, as the future prime minister of the empire, it’s not like he has insulted Commander Dai Li’s status... That’s weird! Regardless of whether the smiling face paralyzed in another world line is one of the "Seven Marshals" or the Queen's right-hand man, now she is just an ordinary Imperial Lieutenant General with no reputation.
"The dignified sector commander, kneeling down to a lieutenant general?" Sure enough, even a simple and low-key veteran like Chief of Staff Mkawa couldn't help but smash the table?
“It can’t be regarded as kneeling as Lieutenant General, but actually the emperor’s communication projection. He showed up in person and gave some words of encouragement to Xinya officials. Chief Dai Li was said to have been overcome with emotion, so he knelt down like this. Get off," Colonel Singer said.
It sounds much more reasonable, but it always feels lower.
Colonel Singh took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, but still mustered up the courage to say: "Actually, Your Excellency, when facing the emperor, how many people can be as neither humble nor overbearing as you?" The goods are really good at talking.
Yu Liandao: "Colonel, don't you have an old relationship with Commander Dai Li of Xinya?"
Colonel Singh's movements of wiping sweat seemed even more unnatural, but he still put on a stiff smile and said seriously: "Still Your Shengming, the eldest daughter of the lower official, joined GNN as an intern last year and received some care from Chief Dai Li. "
This guy is very frank. Of course, Yu Lian cannot be the same as him. .
"How is the Home Fleet doing now?"
"Still retreating all the way. The Mars Cook is moving in the direction of New Baghdad, where there are large shipyards and arsenals, and it may be able to Take a breath." Feifei marked a red dot on the star map: "As for how many defeated fleets he can gather, it is difficult to estimate."
The New Baghdad Galaxy is also an important local transportation node with a dense population and developed commerce. The total population has reached 1.5 billion, and there are also a lot of space fortress-like equipment.
However, it is still the same sentence, there is no danger to defend, and everything is smooth sailing. In addition, Yu Lian now really has no confidence in the mobilization level and fighting will of several local star regions.
Compared with the Far Shore, the Outer Rim and the New World, they seemed to have no awareness of entering the war at all.
“The closest Chinese military group to New Baghdad is Nantianmen.” Yu Lian glanced at the star map.
"Yes. But even if we set off immediately, it will take at least three weeks of sailing. And..." Chief of Staff Mkawa said.
This "and" does not need to be stated explicitly. With the current offensive of the Imperial Army's Farrell fleet in the direction of Nantianmen, Marshal Bonaparte simply cannot mobilize a single soldier. He even sent a report to the Fuxi yesterday. Although he didn't say it clearly, since he asked roundaboutly about the retreat route and timetable of the Yulian fleet, he was actually thinking about the possibility of rushing to Nantianmen.
Marshal Bonaparte is a resolute veteran soldier. Even he can do this, so you can imagine the pressure he endures.
Then there is the local direction. In fact, the distance between Earth and New Baghdad is shorter, but there are no more troops available.
Yu Lian sighed and smiled: "I can no longer count on any resistance from the earth. In comparison, the Cirke warlords... well, the conscientious military commanders of all walks of life It would be more realistic to suddenly rise up and refute the situation in Katun, and unite to attack the empire and cut off King Suliuka's retreat."
Colonel Singh's eyes lit up.
"...are you going to scare me first and then surprise me today? Colonel, I can't tell you are still a pua master!" Yu Lian said with a smile.
"This, your Excellency is very funny. I am really ashamed to be a subordinate." Colonel Singer wiped his sweat hard and said quickly: "However, the Commissariat did receive the news that there are indeed some Cherks. The military commanders are working together, maybe they really want to join forces to attack Katun."
Yu Lian pondered for a moment and looked at Feifei, who showed a knowing look.
The two of them completed this exchange without even saying a word. They still have this tacit understanding.
Afterwards, Feifei will confirm the authenticity of the news through the Pioneer Party’s intelligence agency. Anyway, Tan Jize seems to be active near Sanqi recently.
Yu Lian was indeed a little surprised. On the one hand, he was naturally surprised that the snapping turtles in Cirke were really upset.
You know, during the "Cherke's War", when they were beaten to the ground by the Khaiyars commanded by the imperial advisers, they did not even dare to mobilize the whole country. As for the history of another timeline, I told myself that when the empire was conducting the second war of conquest against the community, a partial division of the imperial army sent troops from New Asia to capture the transportation node of Chero, and the snapping turtles also had no shit. Don't put one.
Yes, Yu Lian has seen Chero occupied by the empire twice, and from different directions.
The so-called anti-imperial vanguard supported by the alliance is just that good.
But this time, a group of warlords are so brave? So patriotic? So loyal? So steadfast and unyielding?
What also surprised him was the intelligence level of the committee.
“Your committee is still offline in Cirke?” Yu Lianqi asked.
Colonel Singh said: "They are the ones who appoint the commander-in-chief, they appoint the commander-in-chief. Your Excellency, Xianguan is born as a member of the Yu Fleet, and dies as a ghost of the Yu Fleet! I am only loyal to you. As for the committee, Uh, we... no, they still have a lot of intelligence stations."
"I don't think you are so sharp in terms of intelligence from the empire," Feifei said with a smile.
“Well, it’s not very safe over there in the empire.”
Got it, because the empire is not very safe. So most of the intelligence stations of the Communist Party of China are placed with "allies", right?
Of course, putting aside these small details, the various warlords in the Cirke Kingdom actually became divided. This can be regarded as the only good news among the recent series of bad news.
"The Circassian Kingdom is also a strong military power! The empire only took advantage of sneak attacks."
"If the Circassians rise up to recapture Katun... no, even if it just blocks the waterway. King Suliuka's fleet in Chero and Xinya will be alone."
"She is not a reckless person, and she will definitely come back for reinforcements. Isn’t it safe? ”
The senior military officers present started discussing, and the atmosphere finally became more lively.
As for the current situation of our fleet, no one can come up with any constructive ideas for the time being. They all think that we should go out of the Nebula Corridor and fight with the Athena first.
In general, the fleet moved in an orderly manner after the victory from Said, and the morale and mental outlook were of course maintained well. Most of the officers and soldiers felt that whether they continued fighting at Xin Shuntian or retreated to Nantianmen and joined forces in the outer ring, they could continue to fight the imperial devils for 800 rounds. They will definitely be able to drive away the imperial invaders.
Yu Lian felt that even if it was to ensure the good mood of the grassroots soldiers, it would be better to keep all the bad news at the command level.
On May 22, the third day after New Atlantis had surrendered, the Fuxi received two more messages. Of course, it’s still the classic good news and bad news.
