Chapter 1812 Today’s retreat is for tomorrow’s advance
There are less than fifty interstellar battleships, most of which are old-fashioned battleships that have long since withdrawn from the front-line fleet, and there is a lack of large capital ships that can stand upright. What's more important is that these are almost all defeated soldiers who fled all the way from the New Asia battlefield to Earth. Regardless of the morale of the crew, the repair work of the ship itself is far from complete. It's hard to say how much combat power is left.
Then, there were twenty gunboats in the system. The firepower was pretty good, but they were all thin and bulky and couldn't move. If it breaks away from the cover of the planet stronghold, it will even fall prey to the assault ship.
The one that is slightly threatening is the Cook. However, the Imperial Army would never regard the large fire-breathing Marauder ship with a strong green skin style as a dreadnought.
Out of extreme combat conditions, the Predator's greenskin warships have never been a match for Imperial warships of the same specifications.
The above-mentioned soldiers and generals are all the mobile forces of the Blue Star Community, the so-called third largest military power in the galaxy, that can be used in the defense of the solar system.
It no longer sounds shabby, but rather bitter.
If they met in the vast space, such a small number of defeated troops would not even be able to last five minutes in front of Vice Admiral Maimidal's vanguard fleet.
Of course, it would be another matter if they defended against the fortresses and bases of the Earth-Moon Galaxy. The two fortresses in the Earth's orbit are not very big and do not have a shipyard or a large-capacity stormtrooper barracks. However, they are still piled with positron fortress cannons. According to their own rotation orbits, they can form a rivalry with the lunar base.
By the standards of space war, this can be called a line of defense.
General Wovna felt that the most correct decision made by the Earth commander was to abandon all strongholds except the Earth and shrink to the Earth-Moon galaxy.
This is a huddled hedgehog.
"If Marshal Ferragut has the Natural Crest in his hands, he will at least have an amazingly powerful automatic turret. The earth will be even more difficult to fight," Wovna said.
Of course, this "more difficult to fight" is actually a relative concept, but General Wolfna felt that since the Imperial Army came to the "Little World" again after more than half a century, they should have a perfect landing method.
Nelhana said: "In this case, this is really a timely firefight!"
There was no irony in Wovna's words: "Yes, it was indeed a timely merger, but we have no right to laugh at them. During the Imperial Civil War of the Immortal Dragon, Emperor Yiwenya entered the Heavenly Realm. Before, her opponents had been slaughtered in the officialdom of Longlin Palace. This is probably the commonality of human beings. However, we really did not expect that things would go so smoothly."
"Yes, except for the escaped Natural Heraldry Number, everything went smoothly."
The two female generals looked at each other and smiled, and then they both saw that the other's smile was clearly staged.
"Let me tell you, Wovna, you will soon be the first imperial general to enter the earth in this century. His Highness has given you such an honor, why do you smile so reluctantly? Is it because you don't want to?"
"Now I don't know how many imperial generals are jealous and twisted because of these honors. However, with our Highness here, all malice will be blocked from our sight. However, as her vanguard, I only hope that our conquest It's perfect." Wovna sighed, a hint of gloom flashed on her face:
"If the famous Mr. Mao really sent the earth to us, can what His Highness did in New Asia and New Baghdad be replicated exactly on the earth?"
Of course Nelhana felt the same way, but she showed a helpless expression: "But if we don't accept his surrender, he may find someone else. He has such connections."
The two female generals fell into silence again, and then sighed heavily at the same time.
Wovna sighed: "What a shameful power monster! They should resist heroically to the end! What's even more shameful is that he hasn't even made conditions for us yet. I didn't even ask President Keith Nichta Life or death is uncertain.”
Nelhana asked doubtfully: "Our intelligence department on the earth has nothing to say? When the war began, the security agencies of the earth did attack our intelligence network, but it should be impossible to turn the earth into an iron barrel. Right? ”
Wovna shook her head slightly: "Earth's intelligence agencies are still in action, but they have learned nothing about the current situation. They can only confirm that the current situation in Eternal City is somewhat tense."
However, the situation in the Eternal City has always been tense. When Brynhilt's fleet entered New Atlantis, the situation was tense, and even nighttime martial law lasted for almost two months.
"This is Mr. Mao trying to show his kindness to me, and at the same time he's also trying to warn me." Nelhana immediately understood. None of the members of the Brynhild Shogunate's girlfriends group are sluts who lack political acumen.
Wovna took the lead slightly: "Although he is an ugly and terrifying person of power, he is indeed a powerful person. We have to let His Highness know this. As for the next step, she must personally decide."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help showing a happy expression: "If our master were to be a real political animal, he would definitely allow me to get rid of Mr. Mao and all the powerful factions on the earth first. "When the time comes, the blame will be put on the head of the executor. If you are not particular about it, you can use your wife and me to support him. If you are not particular about it, you will have to hide it for a few years to avoid the limelight. Since ancient times, almost all people in high positions have This is how people with power operate.
However, a true Dragon King should be proud. No matter whether he is a tyrant or does bad things, he is always upright. Brunhildt is a typical example.
"It is precisely because she is such a person that she must not get along with Mr. Mao." Wofna said.
She was really thinking about whether to do this kind of safety hazard without King Su knowing about it. She is an upright female general, but she is not a good old person who will be kidnapped by moral traps. For the sake of the righteousness in her heart, she will not hesitate to commit crimes.
Nerhana is still unable to let go: "So, why do we all assume that the person who can represent the will of the community government has become Mao Yuanzuo? Even if he is a relative of so-and-so, he is just a retired prime minister and an ordinary member of the community. The community's Where is the legitimate president, Keith Nishita? Dead or alive? ”
Having said this, the two female generals looked at each other again, and then sighed at the same time.
The earth opposite, in a military sense, is obviously a fragile building block that will collapse if pushed back slightly, but now it always feels like it is shrouded in a disgusting shadow.
They are about to return to Earth again in the name of conquerors, but they never have the pleasure of conquerors in their hearts.
……
At the same time, in an uninhabited galaxy 300 light-years away from the earth, the Empire-built Titan ship emblazoned with the Community's military emblem was traveling in the deep space of the universe.
To everyone's surprise, the Titan ship did not go in the direction of New Chang'an to meet with Marshal Paris. Instead, it made an abrupt turn and headed towards the border of the star sector. Now, after three days of accelerated operations, they have completely left the densely populated star area of Terra Star Sector, and finally entered the relatively quiet natural star sector.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
It was only at this time that the command level on the Independence finally completed a communication with both Earth and New Chang'an.
"The vanguard of the empire has occupied the Mars Shipyard, and Marshal Ferragut expressed his appreciation for our prompt action." After completing the communication, Rozes, who wrote as "temporary second officer", explained to everyone: < br>
"The old man said that now is the time to preserve our vitality. Today's big step forward is of course for the big step towards victory tomorrow!"
How strange! It's obviously you who dominates the source wave communication port. Of course, it's what you say, right? I can also say that I was ordered by Mr. President to take the Independence to participate in the Earth Defense War.
There must be someone here who wants to fight back like this, but after the fire at the Mars Shipyard, no one would dare to speak like this.
No, even the nominally official captain, Rear Admiral Langner, nodded with a dignified attitude: "As expected of Marshal Ferragut. Since the old man said so, we will do it."
Luo Zeshi added: "I have also contacted Marshal Paris from New Chang'an. He has organized outstanding senior students from the New Long Armor Academy and the Naval Academy. There are 30,000 people in total. Come and meet us on an armed merchant ship.”
Major General Langner was immediately moved: "At any time, you can trust Chief Paris. He is the kind old father of all the soldiers in the community."
He then said to Luo Zeshi: "Lieutenant Colonel, thank you for your hard work. Without you in charge of the overall situation, how could the Independence have recovered its combat effectiveness so quickly? You are truly a hero of hundreds of battles!"
If he changed his tone, it would be a typical yin and yang, but Captain Langner's attitude and tone are so sincere. Anyone can see that he is a diligent, simple and loyal elder.
Hey hey hey, you are the real captain of this ship! You are still more than twice the age of Lieutenant Colonel Ross! Why are you acting like he's one of his subordinates?
It is inevitable that some people will have such doubts, but this is completely meaningless. The situation now is that everyone is thinking about war
There are now less than 20,000 people on this Titan ship, and the stormtrooper room and Gnakuri are almost empty. The remaining crew members can only maintain the Independence's normal cruise and low-intensity operations.
Among these people, the old subordinates brought by Lieutenant Colonel Chester Rogers from the Yu Fleet, the young non-commissioned officers of the Lion Heart Club, and the technical backbone of the Mars Shipyard together accounted for more than three-quarters. , accounting for the vast majority of them. There were less than 3,000 airborne troops sent from Earth to receive the new ship, including 2,000 stormtroopers who surrendered after the merger.
Well, if New Changan can really recruit 30,000 people, at least in terms of personnel, the Independence can handle high-intensity combat. However, in this case, the "mature and prudent" airborne faction appointed by the Earth's Gongun princes will have no say, but this is no longer an important matter.
Even Captain Langner, the nominal leader of the "Airborne Faction", seems to be honest and cooperative. What can others say? We are all adults, so of course we have to pay attention to "tolerance for the sake of the country".
So, Chester Rozes, who was not yet twenty-seven years old this year, told everyone again: "Marshal Paris told us that the Imperial Fleet arrived in the Cantilever Sector and easily captured New Paris. We are crossing the Cantilever Star The way to escape to New China has been blocked. I hope everyone can speak freely about what the next step should be.”
His eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally landed on the face of the only non-Community soldier present: "General Belmont, what do you think?"
