Chapter 1770 The entire far shore should be given up
Major General Soback, who is not yet 30 years old this year, watched everyone discuss passionately. Of course, although the atmosphere was heated and even quarrelsome, he did not deviate from his "safety first" policy after all.
This moved Sobek very much. All the elite soldiers transferred from the empire present regarded him as an expert on the "Dragon of Dawn" issue.
He was the youngest person present, but he also had the most say. When he was a colonial boy and dreamed of restoring the glory of his ancestors, he never expected that he would be able to achieve this before he was thirty years old.
Woolen cloth.
So, while being moved, he also felt that the pressure was too great because virtue was not worthy of him.
Just as he was about to say a few words, Lieutenant General Midbeschi said in a decisive tone, "Then, our response strategy must be sent to all friendly fleets."
The chief of staff said helplessly: "Sir, not all friendly fleets will be like us..."
"Cowardly, aren't you?"
"Pragmatic, what I want to say is pragmatic!" the chief of staff said loudly.
The attendees burst into laughter, and the scene was immediately filled with a happy atmosphere.
With such a good workplace atmosphere, we must not deceive everyone because of my personal opinions. When Soback thought of this, he felt guilty and said quickly: "In the final analysis, the commander and the subordinates just raised some objections."
It’s a very mature little opinion.”
"Brother, you are too humble, or you are too eager to be humble." The lieutenant general said: "Facing that person, all the tactics we formulated are just treating a dead horse as a living horse."
Soback was filled with admiration for a moment. He originally thought that he was already the most cowardly, no, pragmatic one. But he never expected that General Midbexi was the real master!
Having said this, I heard the lieutenant general mutter again: "To put it bluntly, shouldn't the world of extraordinary beings be solved by the extraordinary beings themselves? Shouldn't the majestic demigods go to the heaven to pick up the knights and the tribunal?
Is it too unruly to always stay here and bully weak and humble gods like me? Huh, I can see it now. The most unruly person in the universe is psychic power.
That’s it.”
However, those who rule the universe are also psychics! You dare to say this, but you don’t know whether you are really cowardly or brave.
...But then again, I am also a psychic, but I can actually hear empathy. There must be some serious illness, right?
Seeing that the atmosphere here seemed a little subtle, the lieutenant general quickly added: "Of course, we are imperial soldiers, and everyone must be prepared to die on the battlefield! I just hope that the sacrifice must be meaningful. If it is just
If you turn it into scraps to embellish the enemy's military exploits, you will be sorry for your wife, children, and children who are waiting for you to come home!"
"The general said yes!"
"You have to live a solid life, and you have to die well."
All the senior generals present praised him one after another.
Soback looked at the fierce general brother opposite him with sharp eyes, and then glanced at his colleagues on the scene. He still felt that if the frontline generals of the Imperial Army were all of this type, he would not always think about being transferred to the logistics department.
.
He looked at the star map, his mind moved, and he said casually: "In addition, we must also be careful about the possibility of the enemy fleet rendezvousing in the nebula in advance."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Lieutenant General Midbexi also looked at the star map and enlarged the frontal channel information. This general with a fierce face is actually a very careful person.
"You mean, the forked road No. 1 channel will be reconciled?" the chief of staff asked.
As the only two navigable main channels in the Far Coast Nebula, Earl I and the Luckner Corridor, in addition to meeting in the Seder system, are also connected by four branch channels. This is the so-called "Far Coast Nebula"
There are "forks in the road", there are four in total.
However, three of the channels are all "north" of the Said system and have long been controlled by the empire.
What's left is the No. 1 branch channel. If you miss this point, Yulian's fleet will have to wait until they leave Nebula if they want to reunite.
Of course, according to the judgment of King Sand and his staff, it is unlikely that the rest of the fleet will reunite in the nebula.
"The branch channel is a bit narrow," the pilot said thoughtfully.
"Then the dreadnought can also pass through." said the chief operations officer.
"However, the jump efficiency will be affected. Won't the Tuosen fleet and Karaman fleet behind take the opportunity to catch up? Then it will form a situation of flanking the two sides." The chief of staff thought for a moment: "Of course, they
You can also catch up and launch an attack, forcing the enemy Athena formation to divert into a side road."
Everyone looked at Vice Admiral Midbexi, who spread his hands: "This is beyond my ability to comment. Each of our fleets has its own mission and its own plan. Don't you know?
, has mysticism always been a characteristic of the Imperial Army? Of course, even the staff also plays this trick, which may be closely related to the temperament of their supervisor."
So, is this guy really a coward or really brave? Soback shuddered. He suddenly felt that although he had a certain affinity with the Lieutenant General, the composition of this guy was quite mixed, so he still kept the friendship as a colleague.
It's better to go up.
The lieutenant general added: "In short, you'd better take care of your own duties first. Under the current situation, as long as you don't make mistakes, you will definitely win. I hope everyone will keep this in mind."
"As long as you can survive, it's victory." the chief of staff added, like an experienced mouthpiece.
Soback almost stood up and saluted the lieutenant general. What he liked best was such mature and prudent remarks and attitude.
In this way, the military discussion ended happily with all senior generals reaching a consensus.
...Originally, this is indeed how it should be.
However, just as the meeting was about to end, a communication was received from the Lucknar Corridor, coming from the friendly Karaman fleet.
As the imperial fleet responsible for chasing the Athena, they finally caught up with their target near the A11 galaxy in the Lucknar Corridor, and they could prepare for the next move.
"We attack." Lieutenant General Klarman sent an instant message. However, due to the severe magnetic interference in the nebula, the picture and sound were slightly distorted.
"General attack?" Lieutenant General Midbeschi asked his friend.
"No, we will drive the enemy away." Lieutenant General Karaman, who has the face of an elite aristocratic officer, seems to be the type who cherishes words as much as gold.
Soback looked at Midbexi, only to find that the latter closed the corners of his mouth. Although no sound could be heard, the subtle mouth shape was probably saying "Here comes the damn thing again, he is about to overturn" or something like that.
.
This is really knowledge...well, the curse of psychic energy! Yeager Soback was full of struggle, saying that he did not want to have such keen observation.
The holographic projection of Lieutenant General Klarman on the opposite side stared at Midbexi, his tone still stiff: "If we can succeed, please cooperate."
"Understood." Lieutenant General Midbexi said: "Please also control the scale of the battle."
"I know it well."
Aren't you two good friends?
…
On the Fuxi, when Yu Lian appeared on the bridge with a relaxed pace, the atmosphere here was still not anxious, and the number of people on duty was still about 30% of the normal cruise level.
The entire ship did not enter a state of emergency combat readiness, and it did not even notify all officers and men to stop taking rotations and rest. It seemed that they were a little too relaxed and heartless.
However, Yu Lian was very satisfied.
Just this detail is enough to prove that the officers and soldiers of the entire fleet do have a calm temperament. They will not change their pace because of the enemy's actions, nor will they let themselves fall into mental tension at any time, but they can
Maintain professionalism and efficiency in handling matters. This is completely different from laziness and laxity.
Yu Lian felt that this was the true temperament of a strong military.
As long as it does not become arrogant and arrogant, it is necessary to continue to maintain this calm and composed temperament.
Chief of Staff Mkawa saw Yu Lian entering the bridge and rushed over to greet him.
Yu Lian scanned the timely star map of the Far Shore Nebula and saw only that on the solid line representing the I Earl Star Gap, four black triangle icons representing the Imperial Army had arrived in the galaxy next door.
From the star map, it seems that this situation is really about to bring about a storm. This is naturally a timely report sent back by the surveying eye and the reconnaissance ship at the rear.
"The Royal Rabbit where Soback is located is over here?"
"It's certain. In addition, the flagship should be a Yanlong-class dreadnought. At their current cruising speed, they will catch up with us in 70 hours at the fastest. Do we want the entire fleet to be put into combat readiness?"
"No need for the moment. The enemies coming this way will not do anything unnecessary." Yu Lian was very sure.
Now our fleet has completed most of the channel in the I Earl Star Gap. If all goes well, it will leave the nebula within 80 hours and enter the most stable young and middle-aged galaxy group in the far coast star region.
On the other side, the Athena formation taking the Lucanal Corridor probably followed this schedule.
According to the original plan, the two fleets will meet at the Xinliao star system on the border of the far coast sector before the arrival of June, and then rush to Xinshuntian to re-deploy their defenses. A large amount of military supplies are stored there, and it is also the far coast.
The sector's capital and largest residential settlement.
Of course, this is when everything goes well.
Yu Lian knew full well that the empire would never let everything go smoothly for him.
Yu Lian nodded, and his eyes quickly turned to the Lucknar Corridor next door. If he said that he was about to have a storm, the situation on the Athena was simply like a dark cloud.
No. The thunderstorm has actually started over there.
Of course, the thunder is loud, but the raindrops are really nothing special.
"How's the battle going?"
"It ended 5 minutes ago. Because General Bai had already prepared for the battle, the entire army suddenly turned around in the A11 galaxy of the corridor, turned around and gave the empire's pursuit fleet a head-on attack. The enemy fleet took the initiative to leave the battle line."
Of course, General Bai was talking about "Tai'a". After this girl reached the fifth ring, the National Defense Committee awarded her the rank of major general in accordance with the traditional treatment of psykers. Compared with someone, Tai'a's promotion to the ring is generally
The statement is still in line with the Basic Law, and the Gong Gong princes on Earth were not so fussy when assigning military ranks.
However, the real commanders of the Athena formation are actually Major General Leis and Commodore Teach. One of them is the former deputy commander of the Far Coast Fleet and is the right-hand man who has been with Senior Sylvester for more than five years; the other is
He is the captain of the Athena, and he is also a traditional old captain who has experienced hundreds of battles.
However, these two veterans are also pragmatic and low-key types, and they all said that Miss Tai'a is the one who matters in this way, at least in name.
In addition, to say that it was a head-on attack, to put it bluntly, it means that the empire took the initiative to leave the battle line after suffering small losses.
Of course, considering Tai'a's own temperament, if her own side's losses were greater, she would not hide it in the battle report. Since it was a "head-on attack", it at least meant that the losses of the empire's pursuers would exceed those of her own side.
Not bad! Yu Lian thought. He didn't expect that girl to have the talent to lead troops in battle. Although she was not the one commanding the fleet, it was very likely that she could make a U-turn and a carbine operation.
If you have determination, you will have the talent to become a famous general.
In a sense, decision-making is even more of a test of talent than strategy.
Yu Lian suddenly showed a comforting smile: "It's still a typical counter-pursuit and counter-harassment, but the results this time are more fruitful than last time, right?"
"Yes, at least four destroyers were confirmed to have been sunk, one light cruiser was seriously damaged, and we lost 1 Lightning Striker and 1 Ranger-class light cruiser. We also shot down the enemy at the cost of three White Devils and four Phantoms.
13 aircraft.”
"This kind of exchange ratio should continue to be publicized. In this way, more and more countries will feel that the imperial devils are exaggerating. If the combined fleet of Cirke friends can be quickly strengthened, this series of small-scale battles will
The meaning is not limited to the results on paper." Yu Lian smiled.
In fact, Yu Lian has been doing this all this time. Said has fallen after all, and Xinya has a large army pressing down on the border. The local soldiers and civilians always need some good news to persevere.
There was still obvious worry on the face of the chief of staff: "It's just that in order to meet the pursuers, the march of General Bai's fleet was affected. Before they left the A11 galaxy, another enemy pursuit fleet also arrived. Now,
The number of enemy ships behind them has exceeded 400, and there are two dreadnoughts."
Yu Lian didn't take it seriously: "The capacity of the gravity well in the corridor is limited, and the imperial army will slow down."
Of course, the chief of staff agreed with the commander's judgment, but still said: "However, we cannot rule out that they will do the same thing in the future."
Compared to the caution on the I Earl Star Gap side, the pursuers on the Lucknar Corridor side were much more active.
If the imperial troops on both sides were wolves, one side would be like following a wounded tiger, and the other side would be like following a herd of deer.
"Very good. I originally thought that when we sailed out of the far shore nebula, it was time for the Imperial pursuit fleet to launch an attack. They would be like a pack of hunting wolves, following, harassing and biting until we were completely
When you fall into fatigue, it’s time for the final encirclement and annihilation. However, it is obvious that the enemy is preparing to start early.”
Major General Mkawa said quite seriously: "Only the Lucknar Corridor started in advance. As for the I Earl Star Gap, because of your presence, the pursuers did not dare to make mistakes. Your Excellency, you alone are the deterrent.
It’s as big as a Titan.”
He really thinks so.
Yu Lian smiled noncommittally, walked to the star chart terminal, and enlarged the projection of the far shore star area.
"The enemy's personnel and warship status are actually far superior to ours, and they actually have a mobility advantage. Once they reach the star area, they are more likely to complete the encirclement of us."
His fingers slid along the channel of Earl I Star Gap. When his fingertips slid from the nebula to the hinterland of the star region, the icon representing the route suddenly changed from two zigzag lines to a network extending in all directions.
Chief of Staff Mkawa nodded slightly and added: "Just now, the staff has completed ten cruise calculations. Everyone can basically confirm that if we follow the original plan and rendezvous in the Xinliao galaxy, the enemy fleet is likely to be here.
There is indeed a huge security risk after completing the encirclement. Of course, the premise is that they must gather twice as many troops as ours on the battlefield."
If there weren't so many people, even if we complete the encirclement, we will definitely break through. This is what Major General Mkawa wants to say.
He was always worried that the combat effectiveness of this fleet was based on the commander's personal prestige, but unknowingly, the mentality of the strong had already appeared in every soldier, including of course the most staid old staff officer.
Grow yourself.
"They have so many people." The major general said again: "Sir, the more it is at this time, the more we need to avoid losses. Before the fleet is fully prepared and rested, all engagements will be worth the loss."
Yu Lian was very pleased. It was precisely because of such mature and prudent veterans that he was not worried that his Yu fleet would completely turn into arrogant and careless soldiers.
"What are your suggestions?"
The old chief of staff's cheeks trembled, and there seemed to be a hint of struggle and desolation in the wrinkles.
However, he did not hesitate after all, and said in a deep voice: "The original battle plan of giving up the rendezvous in the Xinliao Galaxy, diverting supplies to Shuntian, and deploying defenses. Your Excellency, I believe that the entire far-coast star region is completely lacking."
Chapter completed!
