Chapter 1785 The fall of Nantianmen
In this way, at the age of twenty-six, Yeager Soback became the commander of the Imperial Squadron, which was equivalent to mastering a relatively independent strategic maneuver force and could be officially promoted to "Admiral". You can also hire your own troops and staff. If the relationship in Tianyu is strong enough, you can even have your own garrison.
In another timeline, it would take at least twenty years of hard work for him to get to where he is today.
Yu Lian, who knew this scene, was neither sad nor happy, but could only feel a kind of absurd surrealism.
Therefore, human destiny really depends on the process of the times! A pacifist like Yeager Soback can become a fleet commander in the Empire, the most powerful military group in the universe. He is less than thirty years old and has no background. Is it this? Isn’t that proper protagonist treatment?
But then again, is this guy really suitable for this position?
Assure the spirit of the universe that Yu Lian really has no ill feelings towards Brother Soback. Although this guy did serve as the governor of the Earth-occupied area and the commander of the garrison fleet in his previous life, he did not do any evil deeds. To be fair, apart from his rash tactics in fighting, this guy can even be regarded as a politician with lively thinking and action, and he also has a tolerant and generous side.
He must be incorruptible, otherwise he would not be fooled by Teacher Yang and Lao Tan into applause.
Of course, as the creator of "Yuan", Yu Lian reminded himself that he must observe people and events in a developmental and dialectical way. Who dares to say that Soback, an old friend of the people of the earth in his previous life, cannot become a famous general in this life?
Even if he is Yu Lian himself, he was an ordinary social beast in his previous life, he was an interstellar ranger in his previous life, and he is a handsome and senior professional officer in this life. They are all obviously themselves, but their thoughts and demands are completely different. .
Yu Lian felt that he still couldn't take it lightly.
After all, what was coming towards him now were four dreadnoughts, more than a dozen battle cruisers, an equal number of large aircraft carriers, and nearly a thousand other warships of various types. The scene was really like a roar of gongs and drums, the dragon flag was fluttering in the sky, and the Community's outer ring fleet was of this size in its heyday.
Such a military group, even if it has a dog in the commander's position, is still a huge force that can destroy the country.
"Look at this huge mobilization of troops, just to deal with our second-hand boat and the 6,000 or so soldiers on board?" Yu Lian shrugged.
"There are also four dragons and five hundred imperial prisoners who are willing to cooperate." Feifei added.
"Yes, there are still four dragons and five hundred imperial captives who are willing to cooperate. They say that the profiteers of the alliance have unlimited treasury, but I think the most wealthy ones are clearly the dragon kings on the opposite side. Isn't it such a waste of energy and materials? A mockery of the working people who are struggling to survive?" Yu Lian sighed: "Sad, sad, this is the tragedy of the times! Shame, shame, this is the shame of human civilization!"
Isn't this the result you most want to see? The soldiers around him couldn't help but look sideways when they heard this.
Perhaps everyone was shocked by His Excellency the Commander's behavior of pretending not to follow the Basic Law. Of course, they no longer had any fear of the mighty pursuers behind them.
Feifei pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course they are all here for you. To capture the Monkey King requires a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals. To capture a peerless hero like Yu'er, even millions of people are not an exaggeration. Haha, of course, this is true. It’s a disgrace to the empire, but isn’t that exactly what you want to hear?”
Yu Lian raised his head and said proudly: "This is what a man should do."
He knew that he was getting carried away now, but considering that the main force of the remaining fleet was almost out of danger, his strategy was more than half successful, and the good mood that disappeared due to the deterioration of the situation in Nantianmen suddenly returned.
Yu Lian feels that people always have to learn to regulate themselves. Especially for a desperado like him who is carrying more than a thousand enemy ships flying around the world with a second-hand boat, the pressure is still great, and he needs to adjust even more.
Of course, in addition to the dynamic battle report that the situation was (temporarily) good, what was sent from the Fuxi also included orders from the earth.
This time it was jointly signed by the National Defense Commission and the Military Command Headquarters.
"Want to see it?" Feifei asked.
"I have so many things going on that I really don't have time to take a look... Speaking of which, since it is the military headquarters, where is Marshal Paris?"
"His old man is not on Earth right now. He has been traveling around various star systems in his home country, and he is trying his best to get some fleets out."
Yu Lian felt guilty. An old man who is almost 100 years old still has to travel around a lot. This is such a heart-wrenching scene. However, how can we squeeze out a fleet in our current homeland?
However, his old man is no longer on Earth after all, which may be the greatest good news.
Thinking of this, Yu Lian said seriously: "Whether the horse-killing chicken robot can be used requires a lot of debugging. I have to try their craftsmanship myself."
"Indeed, you have put a lot of effort into the big bath and the horse-killing robot. Since you have such high expectations for this, you should lead by example. You are the strongest person on the ship, and you are the most suitable to be this Experimental product." Feifei blinked.
This is really true. Yu Lian is still looking forward to the horse-killing chicken-killing robot he designed himself, and even hopes to gradually promote it to the entire universe after the war is over.
Of course, he still had some doubts about Feifei's narrative style.
At this time, Feifei added: "In addition, this is the fourth letter."
Yu Lian felt that this count was full of some unspeakable malice, but he had no evidence after all.
The Pilgrimage finally arrived at Xin Shuntian, the capital of the Far Coast Sector, on June 10. Because Yu Lian deliberately slowed down, at this time, the nearest imperial pursuer was less than three days' voyage away.
However, even though the imperial army has almost reached the city, this largest settled planet on the far coast, home to more than a billion people, appears to be very peaceful. In other words, it was a kind of numbness without fluctuations.
There is indeed an atmosphere of pessimism and panic permeating the city, but overall life is still orderly. The police and municipal departments are even going to and from get off work normally, so most businesses and businesses are actually open.
Of course, the port is also busy, and some ships are taking well-connected passengers on the road to escape, but compared to the imagined scene where everyone is dragging their families and fleeing like the end of the world, it is still more peaceful. Much more.
At least the order of entry and exit of the ship was not completely out of control.
All in all, it is a world that feels pure and peaceful.
In fact, the planet was already like this when Yu Lian came to Xinshuntian last time.
As for the invasion of the empire, after several rounds of ups and downs in mood, the citizens of Xin Shuntian naturally entered a state of being happy-go-lucky and sage.
Yu Lian did not say hello to the district government, nor did he land the ship in a show of publicity. They ignored each other's existence and avoided many embarrassing situations. This is probably the emotional intelligence and wisdom of adults. He just took the Pilgrimage to hover over Sinshuntian for a moment, and made sure that the shipyard, arsenal, and robot factory had all been dismantled and destroyed, and that no screwdriver would be left for the imperial occupying forces, and then he left.
As Mr. Qi said, the citizens here and all the bureaucrats are ready for imperial rule. Of course, there is no need for us to stay.
Anne Romanova proposed to destroy all Xin Shuntian's famous facilities such as grain storage, water supply and power supply. In this way, even if the imperial occupation forces occupy this planet, the first priority they will solve is the livelihood problems of more than one billion citizens.
Of course, he was stopped by Yu Lian.
Feifei explained to her: "The empire has no obligation to these citizens. There is no need for them to give up their combat missions because of this kind of humanitarianism. They can just not land in Xinshuntian, occupy it, and just watch with a cold eye." The security and livelihood of the planet need to be solved.”
Yu Lian nodded: "In the end, we just caused a humanitarian tragedy with our own hands, and what we destroyed was only our own legitimacy."
Aniqi said: "But you have done this kind of thing when you were in Kaitai, and you have done it more than a hundred times."
"That's because the empire has an obligation to the Cathay people. Now that it has accepted them as dogs, no, as domestic cats, it has to consider their livelihood. After all, the Kingdom of Cathay has shed its blood for the great cause of the Dragon Kings. If If you ignore it, the legitimacy of the Chenxi royal family's rule over half of the universe will begin to falter." Yu Lian looked at Xin Shuntian under the porthole. This planet is silently sending him off, and is also silently welcoming new conquerors.
"The people are not born to follow us. Even the evil anti-human feudal lords in the empire understand this truth. If we are not even as good as them, we might as well remove our armor and surrender as soon as possible." Yu Liandao.
"Let history witness their choices." Feifei said.
On June 13, the Imperial Midberg Fleet arrived at Sinsunchon. Because of the full cooperation from the original star district government, everything was handed over extremely smoothly.
After all, even the city government and district government buildings, and most of the roads in the city were built during the empire's rule. It was only natural that the imperial occupying forces would get started quickly.
In this way, Xin Shuntian, who had escaped from the imperial rule for sixty years, returned to the embrace of the empire again. Of course, if we use the slogan from the empire, this means that the fallen rebel land has returned to the embrace of the glorious Galactic Empire. From now on, it will be bathed in the sacred light of the Dragon of the Dawn, and the kindness will be returned from generation to generation. Not sure.
What a depressing statement. Anyway, the director of Xinshuntian Administration Bureau was very moved when he heard this scene and even cried.
And the patrol number afterwards was still approaching the direction of Nantianmen. However, on the 15th, they suddenly made a turn on the main channel and headed towards a remote star area in the star region. At this time, the cruise ship once again received good news, bad news, and news that was really hard to explain in words.
The good news is that Gibraltar was eventually lost. In other words, considering that more and more imperial troops entered Nantianmen, Marshal Bonaparte finally made a choice that went against the will of his own soldiers.
He led the main force of the outer ring fleet to abandon the galaxy and fled towards the high seas.
However, since the Fortress of Gibraltar is no longer just a military facility, but also the space city with the largest cantilever in the entire community and even the third galaxy, Marshal Bonaparte was not ruthless enough to completely destroy it in the end.
The reason why it is good news is that after all, they retreated voluntarily, and the fleet is still quite intact. Three Independence-class Old Dreadnoughts and six battlecruisers, as well as most of the aircraft carriers, successfully evacuated the battlefield.
This is certainly good news. You know, Yu Lian really considered the possibility of the entire outer ring fleet being annihilated. Now that they are still alive, this is the best outcome.
And the reason why we are approaching the High Sea is because of the bad news.
King Sulyuka Brynhilt defeated Marshal Ferragut's home fleet and occupied the New Baghdad system, the most important transportation node in the community's homeland, on June 10.
…Well, that’s not surprising at all. When Yu Lian heard the news, he even felt that the big stone had fallen to the ground and sighed quietly.
Yu Lian said that he had no ill intentions towards Marshal Ferragut, and even had some respect for the cheerful and optimistic elder, even though the latter was actually Mao Yuanzuo's best friend. But if we expect Marshal Ferragu to be able to defeat Brunhilt, he might as well study how Ben Poer Ba can really get rid of Tang Monk and his disciples.
The truly alarming news was that Brunhildt was waiting for his backup in New Baghdad. As a result, the imperial fleet arrived from behind every day, and by June 15, the fleet gathered under her command had exceeded 500 ships.
This is still not a very large fleet. It is far behind the cluster in Saide and the cluster that is confronting Fermor and the Alliance. It is not even comparable to the size of the army under Marshal Farrell that just occupied Gibraltar.
However, this of course means that communications between the Terra Sector and the Outer Ring, Cantilever and even New Asia are interrupted. The path for the Outer Rim fleet to return to Earth no longer exists.
If Marshal Bonaparte really wants to storm New Baghdad, there is a high possibility that he will be attacked from both sides and completely annihilated.
Fortunately, he finally chose to move towards the High Sea. Hope everything goes well and we can get supplies.
As a result, most of Brunhilt's fleet used to surprise the Cirke Kingdom Katun has entered the territory of the Blue Star Community.
In this regard, even Yu Lian expressed considerable doubts at the beginning: "King Su's troops are indeed of the violent type, but with such troops, does he really not even prepare for a retreat?"
"General Company can just call him 'Bulin'. Don't you think it's too obvious to call him the king now?" Because it was in the report, Feifei was referring to his position.
"Well, this is indeed not like Brynn's operation. She is brave but not reckless. She is decisive but will definitely arrange a back-up and backup plan. But I can't understand her current operation. It's not that, Ten Are all the eight Cherk princes ready to rebel? ”
"There is no 18th Route, and you really called me?" Feifei glanced at Yu Lian angrily.
"Adjutant Philippines, please answer the question."
Feifei stood at attention and saluted: "I obey, General Lian. The 18th coalition of Cherk princes you mentioned has been completely destroyed."
"..."
"It's not particularly appropriate to say it was total annihilation, but their combined army has indeed been defeated by the red-haired lady. One marshal and three generals died on the battlefield, and the rest all surrendered. Starting today, all The various warlords in Erke should no longer have the courage to unite to resist the empire." Feifei spread her hands with a look of regret.
