Chapter 1766: You expand the war, but I end the war
The good news is that the joint operation of the Circassians turned out to be more energetic than expected. The five military commanders completed an online "alliance", and separated I swore an oath with light years and blood, saying that we must recapture Katun and restore the glory of Cirke. It is our duty to do so.
If all their troops could be mobilized, they would be equivalent to nearly half of the total strength of the Cirke Kingdom, which should not be underestimated.
The bad news is that Suliu King Brunhilt, who is above Guye City, once again received a group of reinforcements.
The fleet under her command now has just over one hundred and fifty ships. There are not many ships, but the quality is very good. In addition to the Titan ship Dawn Angel, there are also Dreadnought 2, 8 battle cruisers, 8 aircraft carriers, and the rest are all heavy cruisers and light cruisers.
In short, this eliminates all small battleships that lack endurance.
In addition, all of them are cutting-edge warships that have been in service for less than ten years.
If the Galactic Empire is a money-making player, then this lady who chooses the emperor is definitely a resource person.
In addition, Barbarossa, who has been serving as a companion ship for the Angel of Dawn, is still in Catun. The owner of the Barbarossa, Admiral Giaphire Lamut, Countess of Hellanriel, is now acting like the governor of the Circassian occupying forces.
If nothing goes wrong, she will soon be besieged by the Cherk "Warlords' Combined Fleet".
However, Queen Brunhilt seemed completely indifferent to her best friend's situation.
Her ships and personnel are perfectly equipped, but in terms of sheer size, they are still far from a large army. Compared to the mighty fleet here in Sede, it is at most the size of an outpost fleet.
But even so, Brünnhilt's fleet looked like it was roaring with gongs and drums, and the red flag was waving. Before departure, King Suliuka even held a press conference with great interest, inviting local reporters from Night City and media from the alliance.
This is still quite new.
You must know that the royal family and nobles of the empire still pay great attention to decorum and mystery, and such relatively "equal exchanges" rarely occur.
Hundreds of years ago, the "Immortal Dragon" Emperor Yiwen Ya spoke to the citizens of the country in front of the television, and even explained his country's governance strategy live. It is still regarded as a strategic feat that created the world. Woolen cloth.
However, everyone has to admit that with the average appearance and demeanor of the Chenxi royal family, not being photogenic is simply a waste of resources in the universe. Especially someone like Brynhildr, who can also hold the title of "family beauty" in the royal family.
In front of the camera, she has a tall and slender figure, and an unparalleled beauty, full of divine sculptural beauty. As long as you stand in the picture, you must be the center of everyone.
She was dressed in military uniform and was about to board the Angel of Dawn, which was on the shuttle boat's return track. Behind her was the huge helipad on the outskirts of Guye City.
On the background board behind her, the stormtroopers of the Empire lined up neatly and set off towards the jungle of buildings in Lone Night City.
At the same time, there were also a large number of human soldiers boarding the ship. Their team was neat, but they always felt that they were lacking a little energy. They all wore gray uniforms, which were the uniforms of the Community Olympus Sector Guard Force.
Yes, these people are the security forces left behind by the community, but they didn't even have time to get the markers on their uniforms.
"They will be reorganized at the new station and trained by new instructors. Soon, we will gain a loyal and brave stormtrooper team. This is the glory of a community with a shared future for mankind." Brunsi Walter replied.
"Long live the Galactic Empire!" "Long live Her Royal Highness the Queen!"
New Asia reporters cheered. Their voices are certainly not uniform, but their attitudes are still very positive. Even with a bit of fanaticism. It seems that after shouting these slogans, he is really 100% the emperor.
Since this is a live broadcast for the entire universe, of course Yu Lian can also see it. Now he can only think that this arrogant big cat is really good at playing.
"As for me, I am about to march to the earth." She said to the camera again, almost as if she was promoting objective truth.
The reporter from the alliance rudely accused: "Your Highness, you are expanding the war."
"No one has more experience in expanding the war than your country. ." Brunhilt laughed.
This is talking about the recent civil war in the alliance. Although the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief Feanor Belenkeist has always said that it was a small border rebellion, it is true that multiple alliance countries are telling you privately that they want to leave the alliance. There is even a leader of a small border country who denounced Nephi's human central government as an evil slave-owning capitalist. They must resist the tyranny of the Thirteen Families. They want to march into Nephi and give the entire universe true equality and prosperity, etc.
To be honest, if they just said they wanted to break away from the alliance system, it would really be just a normal border conflict. All franchise countries in the history of the alliance have always been gaining weight and losing weight, but as long as the directly controlled star regions and core franchise countries are still there, they will not hurt the basic market at all.
However, saying that we are marching towards Nephi is another matter. This kind of unusual separatist element is definitely going to hit hard!
It is said that Congress passed the Counterinsurgency Act with unprecedented efficiency, and the Union army overwhelmed it with such mighty force. At this time, everyone seemed to have forgotten that the trigger for this series of troubles was nothing more than a small workers' demonstration and an assassination incident that had no beginning or end.
The alliance reporters never expected that members of the imperial royal family, who had almost no experience in handling media, could retort, and were stunned for a moment.
“And I am ending the war.” Brunhildt continued to the camera.
Her smile was bright and dignified, but the hint of domineering revealed in her morning-colored eyes seemed to be slowly solidifying.
Watching the live broadcast on the Fuxi, Yu Lian always felt that Brunhildt’s words were spoken to him from thousands of light years away. Of course, in order to avoid excessive self-consciousness, he decided to turn off the TV signal first.
In short, what is certain is that the fleet led by King Suliuka is leaving New Atlantis in a high-profile manner, heading towards the New Baghdad Galaxy, which to put it bluntly must be the direction of the native Earth. The march began.
…The whole galaxy knows it, so there’s no reason why the Earth doesn’t know it, right?
Yu Lian pressed his temples and admitted that he was a little anxious. He is now more worried about Earth's reaction than the actions of the imperial pursuers behind him.
So, what if something happens to the earth again? How should I respond?
Yu Lian sat quietly in the office for ten minutes, consumed a lollipop and three old knives, looked at the latest situation map sent by the Sky Survey Eye, and probably got some ideas
< br>However, just when he was about to go to the chief of staff to discuss it, he received another communication request from the direction of Nantianmen, and this time, it was even an encrypted communication directly sent to Yu Lian's office.
The Bridge Communications Management Office did not dare to neglect and took over immediately.
Needless to say, it was Marshal Bonaparte himself. He is still the commander of the entire outer ring war zone and Yu Lian's theoretical immediate boss.
Yu Lian clicked to confirm and made a meticulous salute.
Marshal Bonaparte did not even exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Earth has asked me to allocate part of the fleet to New Baghdad to help Marshal Ferragut strengthen the defense there."
Yu Lian suddenly felt that his blood pressure had risen. However, now is not the time to be incompetent and furious. In this position, he has actually lost the qualification to be incompetent and furious.
"What are your plans?" Yu Lian asked.
"I have no more troops to send." Marshal Bonaparte sighed: "I have expressed my opinions to the National Defense Committee. I think those bureaucrats, as long as they can pass the exam, Technical secondary school students must be able to understand me.”
"What are the facts?"
"The average level of bureaucrats in the National Defense Commission may not be as good as my younger son who has not graduated from elementary school."
One thing to say, this man has a temperament like granite The same Marshal is really not very good at joking.
"What did Marshal Paris say?" Yu Lian asked.
"The Military Command Headquarters is mediating with the Presidential Palace. The old officer is also an old sailor who climbed out of a frontline battleship. Of course he knows our difficulties. On the Nantianmen side, Fan has transferred a battlecruiser , may make the situation unbalanced." The marshal stated the rather harsh facts with an expressionless face. This was actually a disguised answer to the situation at Nantianmen.
Of course, as the marshal of the community, he is aware of the general aspect after all:
“However, the earth has no troops to defend, which is also a real objective problem. Fei The remaining troops in Marshal Lagu's hands are no longer strong enough to fight. However, King Su's fleet can reach Earth in only five or six weeks at most. "
If it were her, it might not take more than a month. A wry smile flashed across Yu Lian's face: "I won't be able to reach Earth in this little time."
"You are right, Yu Lian. Your proposal was rejected at the National Defense Committee, no When we took Chiero first, we were completely passive. I should support your opinion more firmly. Who would have thought that the majestic Circassian Kingdom, which is also a military power with a long history, could surrender so quickly after the fall of Katun and Chero and the surrender of the Circassian Kingdom? , we have already lost.”
"The Circassians haven't surrendered yet." Yu Lian could only do his best to comfort him.
Marshal Bonaparte snorted disdainfully: "Are you talking about those Cirker warlords? Haha... I served as the chief military attache in the Cirker embassy, and no one can compare with me. It is more important to know more about the exaggerated nature of the Circassians. What's more, the education I received since childhood told me not to place my hopes on others."
"If the Gonggon princes of the earth had such an awakening, the situation would not be resolved within a week. It took a turn for the worse.”
"You don't have to flatter me, General Prophet, it will make me feel that you are weird." Marshal Bonaparte said angrily: "As for the Dukes of Gongun on the earth, they did make some mistakes. The decision was wrong. However, as a wartime policy. The government, at least so far, has been conscientious in everything it does, so..."
At this point, he gave Yu Lian a meaningful look: "You shouldn't be like this when you are so young. Eager.”
Yu Lian moved his eyes away: "Our topic has become a little bit floating. So, what is your decision?"
"I said, I will try my best to convey my difficulties to the National Defense Committee. "
"I understand. So, what is your decision?"
Marshal Bonaparte stopped. He looked deeply at Yu Lian, and a trace of struggle seemed to flash across his face, but after a brief hesitation, he still said clearly: "I don't know."
"...Your attitude is really candid. I have to make my subordinates feel ashamed!”
"I am self-aware, but not you, and a talented military strategist like Yang who is favored by the God of War. Of course, there is nothing we can do when encountering such a desperate situation." He spread his hands helplessly: "Lieutenant General Yu Lian, your fleet still needs more How long does it take to arrive at Nantianmen?”
“At least, three weeks.”
Marshal Bonaparte shook his head and smiled: “Don’t lie to me. When you led the rest of the fleet to Nantianmen to rush to the far shore, it took you three weeks to reach the battlefield. But at that time, the entire army was united, and the battleships and personnel were in good condition. But now, you have just retreated from the battlefield. , exhausted, scarred, and pursued by enemies behind him."
Yu Lian admitted that what the other party said was reasonable, and could only smile silently.
Marshal Bonaparte said again: "Don't worry. No matter what, I still hold the most powerful strategic decisive force of the community in my hands. Even if I divert some troops slightly, Nantianmen will also have Can barely maintain a tactical balance.”
"...You said three minutes ago that you couldn't mobilize a single soldier."
Marshal Bonaparte burst out into laughter: "Hahaha, General Yu, professional soldiers like us, what's the point? It’s one thing to say to oneself, but it’s a different thing to say to bureaucrats and congressmen in civilian clothes.”
He retracted his smile. He solemnly ordered with a serious attitude: "Then, your task is to preserve the fleet in your hand as much as possible. There is no need to force the rescue from Nantianmen. As for the major strongholds in the far coast sector, just let it take its own course. . ”
Marshal Bonaparte’s attitude was very roundabout today, and he had already done so many times, which really made him feel a little worried.
You know, only five days ago, he was still asking himself to rush to Nantianmen to join the army in a roundabout way.
Yu Lian stared at Marshal Bonaparte. He was really curious as to what had given this traditional professional soldier such a big change.
"Do you know what this means? Your Excellency."
"People are fleets, people are fortresses, people are planets. When people are gone, there is nothing. Young man, you What kind of look is this? I can also read military books at night and suddenly have an epiphany?"
"... The officer understands." Yu Lian finally decided to accept the order, but when he raised his hands to salute, he Said: "Your Excellency, please do not forget that you are here today." The order issued by the emperor. The method of preserving vitality is also effective for everyone in the New World."
Marshal Bonaparte was slightly startled, and a wry smile flashed on his face. He said: "How can it be so simple? If military matters can be solved by military means, the work of professional soldiers will be easier. What's more, even if it is only considered from a military perspective, this is beyond my ability. ”
He suppressed his bitter smile and answered sternly: "I will consider it seriously. Lieutenant General Yu Lian, I am the commander-in-chief of the outer ring theater and the marshal of the community. I know what I know!"
"Understood, I'm rude. "
"You'd better take care of yourself first. I will definitely try to help you deal with it. However, the National Defense Commission and even the Presidential Office should bypass me and give you orders directly."
"Just like they will call the Cook. I know it in my heart." Yu Liandao.
The National Defense Committee has not yet called him or the captain of his own battleship, which has already made Yu Lian impressed by their determination.
"I have a ready-made reason. It's not perfect, but it's enough." Yu Lian looked at the cruise ship outside the porthole.
Although Marshal Bonaparte was a little curious, he was already past the age of gossip after all. He just nodded understandingly: "Well, see you after the victory... Hey, Lieutenant General Yu Lian, will we usher in the final victory? ?”
Before Yu Lian wanted to answer, he laughed at himself: "Oh, this can't be a question in the first place. If Eleanor hears it, she will laugh at me unscrupulously."
She Maybe he'll even take action. Yu Lian thought.
After closing the communication, Yu Lian stood up, cast his gaze through the porthole, and landed on the warship next door closest to him.
That was the Dragon Boat Parade, which always followed the dreadnought closely, as if it were the flagship's loyal escort carrier.
In fact, she does have this effect now.
In the past two days, he and Feifei have already taken off once from the Pilgrimage on dragons. After all, for them, riding a dragon for a ride is a rare form of relaxation. On the one hand, the sight of riding a dragon flying across the starry sky can indeed boost morale.
The officers and soldiers in the fleet are already elites in many battles, but now that they have lost their main base, they will inevitably feel quite insecure. And now, he may be their greatest source of security.
Perhaps it is also because the recent voyage has been smooth sailing?
Just as this thought flashed through Yu Lian's mind, Chief of Staff Mkawa, who was staying on the bridge, sent a message: "Sir, Survey Eye reported on the 7th, confirming that the Empire's pursuit fleet has arrived in the Earl I-12 system. The number of ships is 272. "
If the quality of the ships is ignored, the size of this force is already equivalent to the fleet currently controlled by Brunhilt.
“It’s just one of our many followers, I just don’t know which one it is.” Yu Lian smiled.
