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There are less than fifty interstellar battleships, most of which are old-fashioned battleships that have long since withdrawn from the front-line fleet, and there is a lack of large-scale battleships that can confront the front. What's more important is that almost all of these battleships fled all the way from the New Asia battlefield.
Earth's remnant troops were defeated, the morale of the crew was aside, and the repair work on the ship itself was far from complete. It was hard to say how much combat power was left.
Then came twenty gunboats in the system. Their firepower was pretty good, but they were all thin and bulky and could not run away. If they escaped the cover of the planet stronghold, they would even fall prey to assault ships.
The one that is slightly threatening is the Cook. However, the Imperial Army will 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 green-skinned warships have never been a match for Imperial warships of the same specifications.
The above-mentioned soldiers and crab 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 be able to survive even five minutes in front of Vice Admiral Maimidal's vanguard fleet.
Of course, it would be a different matter if they defended with their backs against the fortresses and bases of the Earth-Moon Galaxy. The two fortresses in Earth orbit were not very big, and there were no shipyards or large-capacity stormtrooper barracks, but they were still piled up.
It is a positron fortress cannon, and according to its own rotation orbit, it can form an angle with the moon 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 commander of the Earth was to abandon all strongholds except the Earth and shrink to the Earth-Moon Galaxy.
This is a hedgehog huddled up.
"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: "So, 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 official circles of Long Lin 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 Crest 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. Your 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 across 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 had the same feeling, 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 even asked President Keith Nichta His life and death are uncertain."
Nelhana was puzzled: "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 run the earth into an iron barrel. Bar?"
Wovna shook her head slightly: "Our intelligence agencies on Earth 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 Brynhildr's fleet entered New Atlantis, the situation became 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 is also warning me." Nelhana immediately understood. None of the members of the Brynhild shogunate's best friend group is a girl-beater who lacks 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 Your 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 I to raise it. If you are not particular about it, you will have to hide it for several years to avoid the limelight. Since ancient times, almost all the superiors and This is how powerful people operate.
However, a true dragon king should be arrogant. Whether he is a tyrant or does bad things, he is always upright. Brynhilt is a typical example of him.
"It is precisely because she is such a person that she cannot get along with Mr. Mao." Wovna said.
She really thought about whether she should expose this kind of safety hazard without King Su knowing about it. She is an upright female general, but she is not a good person who will be kidnapped by moral traps. For the sake of her heart
A righteous person will not hesitate to commit evil acts.
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? Is he 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 it is 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 being 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 military emblem was traveling in the deep space of the universe.
To everyone's surprise, the Titan ship did not turn towards Marshal Paris in the direction of New Chang'an. Instead, it made an abrupt turn and headed towards the border of the star sector. Now, after three days of acceleration,
After taking action, they had completely left the densely populated star area of ​​Terra Star Area and finally entered a relatively quiet natural star area.
It was only at this time that the command level on the Independence finally completed a communication with both the 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:
"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!"
That’s weird! It’s obviously you who dominates the seismic wave communication port. Of course, it’s whatever you say. I can also say that I was ordered by Mr. President to participate with the Independence.
What about the battle to defend the earth?
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 out like this.
No, even the nominal official captain, Rear Admiral Langner, nodded with a dignified attitude: "As expected of Marshal Ferragut. Since the old man said so, we will just do it."
Luo Zeshi added: "Your Majesty has also contacted Marshal Paris of New Chang'an. He has organized outstanding senior students from the New Long Armor Academy and the Naval Academy. There are a total of 30,000 people.
Come over on an armed merchant ship and meet us."
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 would the Independence have regained its combat effectiveness so quickly? It is truly a hero of hundreds of battles!"
If you change the 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, you are the real captain of this ship! You are more than twice as old as Lieutenant Colonel Rozez! Why do you act like you are his subordinate?
It is inevitable that some people will have such doubts, but this is completely meaningless. The current situation is that everyone is thinking about war
There are currently less than 20,000 people on board the Titan ship, and the stormtrooper room and the 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 ships, including 2,000 stormtroopers who surrendered after the merger.
Well, if New Chang'an can really recruit 30,000 people, at least in terms of personnel, the Independence can handle high-intensity combat. But in this way, the "seasoned and prudent" airborne faction appointed by the Gonggon princes of Earth
They have no right to speak, but this is no longer an important matter.
Even Captain Langner, the nominal leader of the "Airborne Faction", looked honest and cooperative. What can others say? We are all adults, so of course we have to practice "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 for the district to escape to New China has been blocked. I hope everyone can speak freely about what the next step should be."
