Chapter 1772 The Growing Pains of Fairy Tale Writer Soback
Of course, Lieutenant General Midbexi is not such a reckless man without any sense of control. The reason why he behaves so frivolously is actually a way to bring the relationship closer between the two parties.
Sometimes, human feelings not only need to be practiced, but also have to make choices.
Anyway, these two imperial generals, both of whom have high emotional intelligence, have only known each other for three weeks, but they already have such a good relationship that they can talk bad things about their boss and other unlovable colleagues behind their backs.
“This battle happened 20 hours ago.” Midbexi added.
"The whole army has not been notified until now. It seems that we have suffered a lot." Soback said with a twitching corner of his mouth. He actually didn't like Lieutenant General Klarman either. To be precise, anyone who is a serious person will not like this kind of so-called "famous" child who pretends to be from a well-known family.
Midbexi nodded: "Four ships were sunk. In addition, his flagship was also hit by an antimatter torpedo from the Earth."
"Hiss~~~~" Soback's heart twitched, and it hurt to hear it. After all, he is a good person and hates such pretentious colleagues, but that doesn't mean he wants to see him killed.
To be fair, he would be very sad if his Yutu was torn apart by a space bubble torpedo.
Fortunately, Vice Admiral Klarman's dreadnought was only torn apart by the torpedo, and finally missed its vital point. The ship's subsequent operations and navigation were not affected at all, but a huge scar was pulled out on the side of the ship, and even the empire's military emblem was torn to pieces.
It's a slap in the face mentally, but it really doesn't matter in a practical sense.
In addition, the battle damage to only 4 ships is not painful to the entire fleet.
Even so, the proud Karaman fleet also stayed in place for a full 10 hours before setting sail again. One can imagine how badly this proud noble general received a blow.
When they arrived at the Corridor 7A galaxy, they found that the Earth fleet had completely left. However, the mass remnants and space aftershocks left at the scene can clearly prove that the other party did not drive directly out of the nebula as originally planned, but turned around.
“It has been confirmed that after the victory, the Athena formation turned from the Corridor 7a galaxy and approached us along the No. 1 Nebula Trail. Needless to say, they just wanted to rush over as soon as possible and fight with the company. The Harmony of Dragons, whose name cannot be mentioned. Brother Yeager, you have guessed it again." At this point, Lieutenant General Midbexi fell into deep thought.
If I said I just mentioned it casually, would you believe it now? Soback also frowned and fell into thought.
At this time, Lieutenant General Midbexi was already worried and said: "Once we merge, the size of the enemy fleet on the opposite side will completely exceed ours. Brother Yeager, do you want to retreat two galaxies? Standby? The Laken fleet behind us is still far away from us. There is a 24-hour flight. This time, no, so much time, is still a long night and a lot of dreams."
Soback twitched his cheeks. Although he wanted to agree immediately, he still tried his best to analyze: "But. , this is actually unreasonable. Your Excellency is right, the gravity well channel of Nebula Branch is very narrow after all, and the navigation speed is limited. As long as the Karaman fleet catches up, there is a high probability that it can catch up with the Athena before the people on earth meet."
< br>"Yes, but you also said, The passage efficiency of the channel is limited. If we want to catch up, Karaman is afraid that he will have to split his troops.”
After fighting for so many years, Major General Soback said that he didn’t like to hear about “splitting his troops”, but He can't use his own knowledge to predict the behavior of friendly forces.
Of course, the most critical issue now is that the two commanders and deputy commanders have to make a decision.
The two imperial generals stared at each other for a minute, each seeing their own shadow in the other's eyes. At this moment, they even saw sympathy for each other. If it weren't for the fact that these two people had limited shame, they would probably have remained silent for a long time.
Lieutenant General Midbexi finally gave Sobek an appreciative look and sighed: "Brother Yeager, many times I also wonder, what is the war for? We Tiriro people are being It is called the greatest conqueror nation and the greatest war nation, but who decided this? "
" Your Excellency, we fulfill our responsibilities," Sobeik could only say this.
“You’re right.” The lieutenant general with a fierce general’s face nodded with worry on his face.
Afterwards, he suppressed all the low pressure and said solemnly: "If the Fuxi formation from the Earl-4 system on the front comes to attack, we will withdraw and meet with the Laken fleet. If they turn to the Nebula Trail We will attack from behind in response to his friendly forces. This is of course only if Karaman is sure to catch up. We cannot act rashly as we are surrounded by two sides.”
“Yes, we cannot fight in the narrow Nebula Channel with harsh astrological conditions. This will cause unnecessary losses. Moreover, once the opponent escapes in a step-by-step manner, the Pilgrimage, the Lord God, and General Yu himself can all escape." Soback said. He himself didn't realize that he was already one of the very few generals in the imperial army who could call Yu Lian by his first name.
Lieutenant General Midbech glanced at his deputy with emotion, and continued with a little admiration: "Of course, if the Laken fleet behind us can arrive in advance, it can concentrate twice the strength of the enemy in front. , then you can try to attack...Tsk, okay? What a creative decision! I was obviously a imaginative person back then!"
"No, I thought this was a mature and prudent decision," Soubek stood at attention and saluted. , the attitude is unprecedentedly upright and sincere.
The next half day was an unspeakable waiting time. Of course, for Yeager Soback, as long as he was sure that everyone would not attack rashly, he would be half relieved. His intuition told him that the longer he waited, the less likely it would be that the decisive "Dragon of Dawn" on the opposite side would kill him, and the more he would feel at ease.
As long as we don’t take the initiative to make mistakes, the current situation should be safe.
In this way, Yeager Soback even fell into deep thought while waiting. He is actually a person who likes to think wildly. When his father put him on his neck to look at the stars, he was already thinking about the truth behind the stars. Thinking about whether there is a luxurious little princess living on every star who is like the most generous person in the universe.
If this is true, how romantic it would be!
Soback now feels that if he had not had to join the army in order to revive his family business, he would have become a great fairy tale writer.
At this time, he really wanted to ask in his heart, what is the meaning of this war? In order to accomplish what kind of great cause, it is necessary to mobilize thousands of huge starships, put tens of millions of soldiers at risk, consume enough materials and energy to bankrupt several countries, and turn large tracts of galaxies into What about hell?
For the creation of a mere enlightened being, that so-called ring of miracles? Or is it to completely conquer the people on earth?
However, the war has progressed to this point, and the price paid by the empire has exceeded the losses of the people on earth. Can this nation really be conquered?
He suddenly felt that if we don’t think carefully about the origin and process of war from its roots, mankind will only repeat the mistakes of history, right? In comparison, whether it is tactical achievements, strategic achievements, or even victory in the war, they are actually just mascots in history books...
Sobeik woke up and gave He slapped himself, and now he regretted that he had read the banned book and even taken notes.
Yeager, Yeager, who do you think you are? This kind of grand subject is something that you, a mere colonial young man, can think about? How brave!
"Your Excellency..." He heard Miss Serlu's worried voice, and quickly took a deep breath, and managed a decent smile: "But there is new movement in the Earth Fleet opposite. "
"The Earthlings drove away the reconnaissance ship we jumped over. However, although the reconnaissance time is limited, we can also observe that their fleet operations are relatively...well, the pace seems slow." The lady said.
"Slow pace?" Yeager suspiciously opened the reconnaissance video sent by the reconnaissance ship.
Because it is impossible to get close, the reconnaissance image is naturally very blurry. It is only an approximate image printed based on long-distance light and shadow changes and quality parameters. But even so, professionally trained imperial generals like Soback can still see the opponent's formation from these vague outlines - well, Soback is not a professional, but he is also psychic after all. There is no shortage of learning ability. As a senior military officer, he also tried his best to learn the professional knowledge he should master.
All in all, judging from the graphics alone, the formation of the Earth Fleet does appear to be unhurried, at least it is not fully prepared to face its own formation.
It is neither preparing to attack, nor preparing to defend in full formation, but more like switching to a stationary state naturally during the march.
If we explain it in terms of the cold weapon era, this group of people has already started to set up camp and bury pots to make food. All they have to do is barbecue and play football in the barracks.
"This is a trap." Soback said firmly.
"Yes, Lieutenant General Midbeschi thought so too just now." Captain Peggese said: "He has ordered the entire army to be on alert."
That's fine. As long as the other party doesn't rush over suddenly, everything is acceptable. Soback pressed his collar and called the robot to bring him a cup of hot chocolate. Of course, it would be best to have a cup of hot chocolate infiltrated with bee sugar.
The ethos of the Tirello aristocratic class believes that whether a person is a superior or a nouveau riche depends on whether the servants who serve him are humans or robots. As a professionally trained imperial general, Yeager Soback could certainly enjoy the round-the-clock personal care of a platoon of service personnel, but he himself had no awareness of this.
A sturdy and durable bucket-loading coffee table robot, a low-browed Razakai orderly, and a well-dressed and well-trained housekeeper, all delivered a cup of hot cocoa, isn't it?
However, before I could finish this cup of hot drink that could increase my blood sugar level, the warning sounded again.
Soback sighed and drank the hot chocolate in one gulp, pretending to be indifferent. If I were the same person a few years ago, I would have been so scared that I threw the cup away, but now I am an experienced veteran.
Growth is not always a good thing.
He now misses his innocent, stupid, clear but cowardly self very much now.
When he finally took a breath away from the turbid breath that smelled of chocolate and honey, Lieutenant General Midbexi's communication also came over.
"It's not us, it's the Karaman fleet." He did not gloat this time, but said with obvious heaviness: "He asked us for reinforcements."
Sobek finally said He started coughing and almost coughed up all the chocolate he had just eaten.
