Chapter 1986 Thrawn’s Teacher
1987, Thrawn’s Teacher
So under such circumstances, the several high-ranking family representatives in the Chislin cabinet were very horrified to discover that they Now there is actually no trump card to talk to Chiara.
Because the fleet currently commanded by Chiara can easily plow the planet Hisra to the ground!
Now, immediately, immediately, on the spot!
The Nurudo family gritted their teeth and said viciously: "Are you finally going to this point? Chiara! You should know what your words just meant..."
It means treason.
Admiral Chiara closed her eyes in pain. She was unwilling to face such a situation and did not want to become like this. However, facing the dual pressure of Dawn Principality and Grisk Hegemony, she had no choice.
Before, she could forcibly veto the proposal of Vice Admiral Brent of the Principality of Dawn and prevent the fleet from attacking, but if that was the case, waiting for Vice Admiral Brent to report the matter to the Principality of Dawn, the result would be very likely She, the titular commander-in-chief, was immediately dismissed.
Although she is the commander-in-chief, this so-called commander-in-chief is only tactical. There is absolutely no say in strategic issues.
And although the new commander-in-chief will definitely be a Chiss, can we guarantee that the commander-in-chief will not commit more outrageous treasonous actions? After all, the current position of Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet means controlling invincible power!
At least as far as Admiral Chiara himself knows, another admiral of the Nurudo family has much greater ambitions than himself! In recent years, if it weren't for the fact that the Nurudo family was splashed with dirty water due to Thrawn's incident, resulting in a decline in reputation, I, a general of the Eliz family, would definitely not be able to compete with the Nurudo family, which specializes in controlling the military.
So, instead of letting others command the combined fleet and then overturning the existing order of the Chiss Territory, it is better for her to control the military power herself. At least she is sure that she will never betray the Chiss Territory. .
In less than a minute, Admiral Chiara had already made up her mind. She said firmly; "I said that any act of initiating civil strife during the war will be punished by me as the Combined Fleet." Commander-in-Chief, we will use all our strength to prevent such behavior! Because it will affect the progress of this war! After the war, I will naturally resign as Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet!"
That being said! , everyone present looked disbelieving.
These ruling families have long put the struggle for power above national interests. They absolutely cannot understand the loyalty shown by General Chiara, an upright soldier.
At this moment, the eyes of the Eliz family were shining, and he seemed to see another brand new possibility!
So he stood up, waved his hand and said loudly: "Admiral Chiara's decision is correct! The Eliz family will fully support this action plan of the United Fleet! And if you want to do it this time Those who do things secretly during combat operations will be punished as treason!"
He immediately tied himself to the combined fleet, as if it was not Admiral Chiara who commanded the combined fleet, but their Yili! Just like the family!
Whether Chiara thinks so or not, as long as the other ruling families in the cabinet think so, that is enough!
"Yes! This is the right choice!" The Chafe family immediately changed their attitude.
“The Rokini family expresses its support!”
“The Meese family fully agrees with Admiral Chiara’s decision!”
These are all ugly for their own reasons. The family representative did not notice that the corners of the Sabersen family's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a cold smile as if the conspiracy had succeeded.
At this time, General Chiara had turned around and walked out. She didn't want to see the ugliness of these so-called politicians. She was a pure soldier, and she just felt disgusted by such things.
Lieutenant General Brent and Keith Maxwell also came out. In fact, they were indifferent to such things. On the contrary, the more these families in Chisled fought among themselves, the worse it would be for the Principality of Dawn. is beneficial.
Even the Principality of Dawn does not mind the outbreak of civil war in Chisland, because it will not affect the situation here.
At present, the Navy of the Principality of Dawn is unprecedentedly powerful, with the number of thousand-meter-class battleships exceeding 500! There were only 20 ships sent to the Chiss Territory. If Tang Xiao was willing, more fleets would pass through the star gate at any time and flatten the Chiss Territory.
The reason why we don’t do this is just considering the cost and gain.
"It seems that you are in a bad mood..." Keith Maxwell took out a bottle of drink from somewhere and handed it to Admiral Chiara, "To be honest, seeing those guys I’m actually even more surprised that your Chisi Territory has not perished even after thousands of years..."
"This is because of the efforts of our ancestors, the Chisland has a vast territory, and it also gives us unrivaled industrial and military strength." Admiral Chiara glanced at Keith Maxwell, He sighed, took the drink and took a sip, then frowned.
Because this drink is bitter... but although it is bitter, the aftertaste is a refreshing fragrance. After drinking it, she felt that her head was sober after being stirred up in the conference room just now. few.
"What is this?" Admiral Qiara asked with a frown.
"Tea. Well, it's a drink brewed with special leaves. The one I'm drinking for you is called...'Dahongpao'. Although I don't quite understand why a drink is brewed with clothes. Name it. But I quite like this drink," Keith Maxwell said, "I think you should need this."
Admiral Chiara closed his eyes and sighed again. In a tone of voice, he said: "In the initial contact, after learning that you knew Thrawn, I was actually very surprised, or rather...surprised. But as you now know, Thrawn was expelled from the Chiss In the eyes of those families, Thrawn is an alien, even a sinner.”
"You said that you and Thrawn are comrades in arms." Lieutenant General Brent said. "Not just a comrade, he was once my student." General Chiara fell into memories.
Keith Maxwell was shocked, "Student? Did you know that Grand Duke Tang Xiao regarded Thrawn as the most dangerous general of the Galactic Empire in a military meeting? Let’s look at it.”
“Then the Archduke’s judgment is correct. Thrawn is indeed the most talented person I know, no matter what the environment is, he can always find it. The chance of victory... He was always confident and never afraid of failure - because he never failed," Admiral Chiara said.
"And you are his teacher." Lieutenant General Brent emphasized.
"I am only three years older than him, but I have been attending the Chiss Naval Academy for a little longer. Thrawn's family was very poor, so when he entered the school, he was actually overage." Admiral Chiara Said, "You have also heard that those in the ruling family keep repeating Thrawn's cheating. Haha, in fact, they are just mediocre people who cannot understand the ideas of geniuses."
" Oh?”
“That was a simulated combat test. Thrawn’s score in the simulated combat test exceeded the highest record in the history of the academy, and it was far more than...the proctor of that simulated combat test. , that's me." Admiral Chiara said, "After that, the academy thought Thrawn was cheating because his actions in the simulated battle could not be copied."
She smiled coldly and said. Did you know that at the hearing, those people tried so hard to prove that Thrawn's results were impossible? They were almost exactly the same as they were today. However, as the invigilator, I saw Thrawn's command throughout the whole process... It was a genius combat action, adapting to circumstances, seizing the blind spot at that moment, launching an attack, and then defeating the enemy with almost no injuries. Thrawn called this tactical action - 'stealthmaneuver' . And this is something I emphasized at the hearing."
"But it doesn't seem like you convinced them," Case-Maxwell said.
"That's right. Because of my persistence, Thrawn's cheating case was not pronounced in the end. But because that stealth maneuver could never be replicated, those so-called military experts who were jealous of Thrawn's genius always believed that Thrawn was in trouble. Cheating, and I’m just covering up my students.”
“Even Thrawn himself can’t copy it?”
“So, he is a genius.” When he was a dragon, there was a smile on Admiral Qiara's frozen face.
She continued: "After that, Thrawn's performance was outstanding and he successfully entered the Chiss Defense Fleet. He became an officer in the fleet with me, and started his military career step by step from the patrol team. Since then, Thrawn has never failed in a battle... But at the same time, what he has received is not praise, but doubts and criticisms."
"Will he be questioned even if he wins? "Keith Maxwell feels unbelievable.
"They accused him of taking the initiative without taking a second strike; they accused him of destroying the wings of their luxury spaceship in order to rescue civilians; they accused him of acting without permission and humiliating the commander. In short, Thrawn defeated almost everyone , but also offended almost everyone. Too many things happened after that, and the result was that he was exiled, "Admiral Chiara said.
“It’s no wonder that the Nurudo family is so angry, because such a military genius was actually taken away from them.” Keith Maxwell said.
Admiral Chiara smiled coldly and said: "Do you really think that the Nurudo family wants Thrawn to come back? They are just using this matter as an excuse to suppress the Eliz family. After all, Thrawn The Eliz family is the mastermind behind the banishment. But if Thrawn really wants to return one day, then I am afraid that the Nurudo family will be the first to stand up." [Note 1]
She turned her head and looked at the sky. Because the climate on the planet Xisla is very cold, it is snowing heavily in the sky at the moment. Fortunately, there is no wind, and they can still stand outside and enjoy the scenery.
“Actually, you don’t have to think of me as a member of the Eliz family.” Chiara said, “Although I was indeed born in the Eliz family, according to the laws of the Chiss Territory, after joining the Chiss After defending the fleet and becoming a commodore, they will swear to break away from the original family during the promotion ceremony, and I am no exception. Therefore, my position now is from the perspective of the Chisland, not the Eliz family."
"But after all, your parents and relatives are still in the Eliz family... They still have a strong influence on you, don't they? You also saw the expressions of the Eliz family just now, and he almost took advantage of it. Your plan to suppress or even destroy the enemy family is just plain obvious," Keith Maxwell said.
Admiral Chiara's expression became extremely serious, and she gritted her teeth and said: "This is absolutely impossible! I am not one of them who puts family struggle above national interests! No! ...It should be said that what I hate the most is people like them!"
She took a deep breath and said: "Please rest assured that I will never let Qisi Ling fall into trouble because of family interests! Chaos or even civil war!”
In fact, it’s not impossible to show me one of your civil wars... Lieutenant General Brent thought to himself. But after all, he is several years older than Chiara, who is in her forties, and he will not participate much in such conversations.
……
With their own thoughts in mind, after Admiral Chiara executed this combat plan with great force, two days later, all the capital ships in the Chiss Territory had completed their assembly on the capital planet Hisla.
The forces participating in this operation include 20 battleships and 50 cruisers of the Principality of Dawn Navy; 8 Night Dragon-class battleships of the Chiss Navy, 26 Lion-class cruisers, and 70 Fire Wolf-class cruisers.
These three types of warships of the Chiss are all called 'man-of-war' by them, but in fact the sizes are very different. The Night Dragon class is almost 800 meters long, the Lion class is more than 600 meters long, and the Fire Wolf class is more than 400 meters long.
Small warships were not involved in this combat operation, also to consider the navigability and safety of passing through complex hyperspace channels.
After completing the assembly, under the uneasy eyes of the Chisland cabinet, this huge fleet left the capital Hisla through the navigation of the high-ranking templar Rasdian.

[Note 1: The story of Thrawn is actually mainly derived from the novels "Thrawn Trilogy". In fact, the matter of Thrawn being exiled is much more complicated and tortuous in the original book, but after all, the protagonist of our book is the Fourth Civilization, and it is impossible to spend too much pen and ink on Thrawn. So I adjusted some of the content, and tried to flatten and simplify Thrawn's plot in the Chisland as much as possible. I could simply explain it in one or two thousand words. However, the general context has not changed, that is, Thrawn is actually an unwelcome presence in the Chiss Territory. Friends who have read the novel "Thawn Trilogy" don't criticize me for the wrong plot. In short, that's what it means (actually, I haven't read this novel either). 】
