The Seventeenth Fleet of the Galactic Empire, or commonly known as the Fafnir Fleet, or the more familiar "Drakken" Fleet. Because Admiral Rudolf von Fafnir was pacifying Varen What Duke Stan did during the rebellion gradually became known, and his fleet also received the evil name "Drakken" - the dragon.
Fafnir spent a month quelling the rebellion launched in five galaxies. For this, the five galaxies paid a total of more than 2.5 million deaths, including civilians and nobles. Fafnir's reputation is especially He is known for his indiscriminate bombardment and his robbery without restraint at all. But his fleet still had a benefit - the birth rate of the five galaxies rose to a new height ten months later... [..com]
When historians of later generations talk about the rebellion at the end of the old empire, they will inevitably talk about this rebellion: this was the rebellion with the largest scope and the largest number of nobles involved at the end of the old empire. At that time, Rudolph "Dela" Admiral "Ken" von Fafnir's quick actions and ferocious methods made the rebellion that spread to five galaxies last only one month. For this reason, the Admiral killed 250 people. Thousands of civilians. It must be said that although the first-level admiral was a brutal butcher, both the empire's top brass at the time and future commentators had to admit that the first-level admiral handled the situation decisively and correctly, otherwise the rebellion would have If it goes on for a long time, we still don’t know how many people will die...
Odin.
"This butcher actually killed two and a half million civilians!" After Reinhard learned the truth of the matter, "His report didn't even mention a single word about the deaths of civilians!" The blond lion became even more angry. In many places, first-level generals did not report in detail and seriously all the circumstances of the military's suppression of the rebellion...
However, the views of Odin's great nobles and the three chief officers of the empire towards Count Fafnir have changed considerably. "Not everyone can order the killing of 2.5 million people without hesitation..." .”
"This gangster's mobility is extraordinary!"
"The Earl is indeed a descendant of the 'Dragon' family, which fits his family's name very well. Is he now called 'Drakken' again? It's very appropriate. A ferocious and cruel dragon..."
Quite a few aristocratic families have seen the future future of Count Fafnir - a first-class imperial general and a hereditary earl. In the past, people basically looked down upon this "prodigal son of the viscount family". But now they find that they have been wrong. , so many people tried to push their daughters or sisters to this unmarried earl.
It was only after careful investigation that many nobles suddenly discovered that the previous generation, Viscount Fafnir, had already chosen a baby for his newborn son more than 20 years ago. Magdalena von Westerpa Baroness Lie is two years younger than Count Rudolf von Fafnir, who is now twenty-nine years old. When she was just born, she was betrothed to an old friend by the previous generation, Baron Westerpalle. ——The two-year-old son of the previous Viscount Fafnir. However, Viscount Fafnir died in an accident soon after, and the Baron also died a few years later. The two young men inherited the title respectively.
However, these two people seemed to have no consciousness of being an unmarried couple. Baroness Magdalena von Westerpalle was obsessed with her colorful love life, funding one artist after another, and competing with the inner palace's personality. Countess Riward is also a good friend, so she has a good relationship with Reinhard.
Needless to say, Count Fafnir... He completely forgot about Baroness Magdalena von Westerpalle and completely forgot about the engagement (
Bo Fu had never been interested in her), as for the beauty of the Baroness, Count Long didn't care at all, and simply fell into the arms of a bunch of prostitutes...
"Are you saying that these unmarried couples are both libertines? They are really well matched." This view gradually became the mainstream view among the nobles after learning about the situation. However, the two parties still went their own way, neither of them were married or married.
Clarify the situation.
"Do you want me to pry into the corner of an artist general?" This is what Count Fafnir said privately when asked by his old friends.
The current "Drakken" fleet has the largest number among the empire's digital fleets after putting down the rebellion: the entire fleet has annexed some noble private soldiers and scattered local fleets that still have some discipline and combat effectiveness, and at the same time handed over
After being streamlined, the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs still has many ships and troops, with a fleet numbering 17,000; the entire fleet, which was finalized after 480, has a total of 4,000 warships of various types.
standard battleships, 1,200 Wangergule motherships, 2,800 lightning strike craft carriers, 4,000 cruisers and 5,000 destroyers. There are also 2,000 supply ships not included in the battle fleet.
And 2,000 work ships, and more than 1,000 other ships. It can be said that this is the largest digital fleet in the Galactic Empire. However, there are more than 110,000 ships under the command of Marshal Royce Ram, and nine fleets...
……….
Fafnir and Schuttkhoutian, Rear Admiral Dick von Karl were watching the modification in the shipyard. It was proposed by Lieutenant General Shottkhoutian and approved by Admiral Fafnir.
For the proposal of breeding ships, these senior officers are now inspecting and accepting the results.
, "The supply ship has multiple compartments opened, and equipment is installed to regulate temperature, humidity, and air pressure. It is used to raise various livestock and poultry, grow various fresh vegetables, and has a processing workshop. It provides delicious and fresh food to senior officers.
The food……..”
While Fafnir was busy training the troops, he was worried about finding and purchasing all kinds of delicious livestock and poultry breeders, finding and purchasing all kinds of high-quality vegetable seeds and planting techniques, hiring suitable farm workers and specially appointing some
When serving as an officer, Phezzan and the imperial reconnaissance force on the front line sent back intelligence: "The Alliance has a large number of gathering and supply activities near Iserlohn Fortress."
Soon, the intelligence coming from Phezzan finally confirmed that the Alliance would launch a major offensive within the year, "an expedition with thirty million troops!" This intelligence shocked the Empire's High Command into silence.
On August 12, standard calendar year 796 of the cosmic calendar, a combat meeting to conquer the Galactic Empire was held in Heinessen, the capital of the Free Planet Alliance.
Gathered in the underground conference room of the United Operations Headquarters were the head of the headquarters, Marshal Schitter, and thirty-six generals under him, including the Thirteenth Fleet Commander Yang Wen-li, who had just been promoted to lieutenant general.
Military victory is like a drug. The sweet poison of "occupying Iserlohn" seems to make the warlike nature latent in people's blood burst out all of a sudden. Even the speech institutions that are supposed to remain calm speak in unison.
The ground chanted "Attack within the imperial territory!", and the government's propaganda and intelligence agencies also cleverly added fuel to the flames...
Although the lineup of the expeditionary force has not yet been officially announced, preliminary decisions have been made.
The position of commander-in-chief is held by Marshal Lasalle Robos, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Space Fleet. He is the second-ranking figure in the military after the head of the Unified Operations Headquarters of Schitter, and has experienced nearly half of the experience with Schitter.
century of competition.
The position of deputy commander has not been established. The person who occupies the position of chief of general staff is General Dwight Greenhill, who is Frederica's father. Under him is the director of operations, Lieutenant General Koniff, intelligence officer.
The chief staff officer is Major General Birolene, and the chief rear staff officer is Major General Kagelun. For Alex Kagelun, who is highly regarded for his skills in handling affairs, this is a frontline service that he has not had in a long time.
Under the chief of operations staff, there are five combat staff officers. Among them, Brigadier General Andrew Hawke graduated first in the military academy six years ago. It was this young officer who originally proposed the expedition plan.
There are three intelligence staff officers and three rear staff officers each under the chief intelligence staff officer and the chief rear staff officer.
The above sixteen generals, plus senior adjutants, communications, security and other personnel, constitute the headquarters.
As for actual combat forces, eight space fleets were mobilized.
Third Fleet, Commander Lieutenant General Lufeip.
Fifth Fleet, Commander Lieutenant General Biko.
Seventh Fleet, Commander Vice Admiral Herwood.
Eighth Fleet, Commander Vice Admiral Upton.
Ninth Fleet, Commander, Vice Admiral Saleem
Tenth Fleet, Commander Lieutenant General Wu Lanfu.
Twelfth Fleet, Commander Vice Admiral Borodin.
Thirteenth Fleet, Commander, Lieutenant General Yang.
Taking the 4th and 6th fleets as the main ones, which were severely damaged in the Asti star field battle, this time the remaining combat power of the 2nd fleet was also incorporated into Yang's 13th fleet. In other words, after forming the alliance,
Among the ten fleets of the Space Fleet, only the First and Eleventh Fleets remain in the country.
In addition, together with the armored motorized infantry, atmospheric air force, amphibious force, water force, cavalry force and various other military units collectively referred to as the land force, even the heavily armed personnel of the domestic security force are also included in the establishment.
middle.
In terms of non-combatants, the maximum number of people in each field has been mobilized in technology, engineers, supplies, communications, control, maintenance, electronic intelligence, medical care, and daily life.
The total number of people mobilized is 30,227,400. This is equivalent to mobilizing 60% of the forces of the Free Planets Alliance. This number is 0.23% of the total population of the Alliance of 13 billion.
.
After a heated argument, the expedition was decided for political reasons.
Admiral Fafnir also received his latest appointment: "Admiral Rudolf von Fafnir. Your seventeenth fleet will be temporarily assigned to Reinhard von Lohenkra
General Rudolf von Fafnir, a subordinate of Marshal Mu, serves as the deputy commander of this battle."
"Hey?! I'm actually going to be the deputy commander of Golden Retriever! Now... there seems to be another opportunity to make money!" Fafnir said to his subordinate and old friend Shutke Haojian, who was still confused.
The lieutenant general said.
"Brigadier General Darius Mittermeier has something to report."
"Dallus? Wasn't he sent to Phezzan by us to deal with the loot obtained after this rebellion? Did something happen?" Fafnir asked.
"Let him speak for himself. Darus! Come in!" Shutekhaojian said to the communicator.
"His Excellency, First Class Admiral Fafnir! His Excellency, Lieutenant General Shute Kehaojian!" A fat man came in and saluted.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, what happened?"
"Your Excellency, this time I went to Phezzan to deal with something, and some rebel officers found us..." Fatty Dalles said with a sly look.
“………….”
"…….."
"Holy shit! Is the Alliance already rotten? It actually started to steal or sell weapons? Okay! Let's sell it too! Darus! Keep this line! Even the intelligence will be sold to them!"
In front of Reinhard, there are the young admirals who belong to his Marshal's Mansion. And beside him, stands a very bored-looking senior officer - Deputy Commander First Class Admiral Fafnir.
.
Gilfias, Mittermeier, Reuenthal, Bittenfeldt, Lutz, Valle, Kemp, and Oberstein Reinhardt were convinced that this was the essence of the emperor's human resources. However,
He still needs to improve in terms of quality and quantity. Everyone must admit that being hired by the Marshal's Office means being evaluated as a capable talent. Although this is already the case, Reinhard wants to change the status quo.
One step forward.
"The Imperial Intelligence Department has made the following report."
Reinhard looked around at his subordinates. The admirals all raised their heads and raised their chests attentively.
"Some time ago, the border traitors who pretended to be the Free Planet Alliance successfully seized the Empire's outpost Iserlohn Fortress. This is known to all the ministers. Since then, the traitors have assembled a huge force in Iserlohn.
.According to conservative estimates, there are about 200,000 ships and 30 million soldiers."
There was a "ho..." sound among the admirals. Everyone's eyes lit up. Being able to command an army is the wish of a warrior. Although they are enemies, their scale cannot but be admired.
"The meaning there is very clear. In other words, the traitors are about to launch a full-scale offensive on the borders of our empire."
Reinhard's eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
"In order to deal with the most serious military threat in the history of the Galactic Empire, the Secretary of State sent a message, leaving me solely responsible for the defense and attack tasks. There will be a formal order in about two days. This is
The highest reputation of a warrior. I look forward to your performance at that time."
After he finished speaking in a serious tone, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. It was a smile full of vitality and domineering, with an indescribable charm. It was by no means the kind of smile that only appeared in Anne Roger and Gylfi
The innocent and transparent smile that just appeared in front of Ace.
"In short, the other troops are just decorations of the palace and cannot be relied on at all. This is a good opportunity to get promotions and awards."
The admirals also laughed. They had the same aversion to the nobles who were greedy for status and privileges. Reinhard hired them not just for their talent.
"Next, I want to discuss with you all. Where should we meet the enemy?..."
Mittermeier and Bittenfeld put forward the same opinion. The rebels will definitely invade through the Iserlohn Corridor, so how about attacking them head-on when they exit the corridor and enter the imperial territory? You can estimate the specific point where the enemy will appear,
To attack its forward troops, you can also explore semi-encirclement tactics, which will be easier and more beneficial to the battle...
"No……"
Reinhard shook his head. The enemy must have expected the attack at the cosmic point entering the empire from the corridor. The forward group is equipped with elites and is not suitable for a head-on collision. And when attacked, most of the enemy's remaining troops
As long as we don't leave the corridor, we won't be able to attack anymore.
"The enemy should be lured into the depths."
"It's really a stupid strategy... But okay, Mr. Lowengram, you are the leader, so it's up to you." General Fafnir said in a completely light tone, while greeting
The glares of the admirals below...
Reinhard stated his opinion. After a short discussion, the admirals also agreed.
"Hey! I reserve my opinion." Earl Long said.
"Get out!" Reinhard finally couldn't hold back his anger.
"Ah! I'm sorry, Marshal. I am the deputy commander. According to the regulations, you have no right to kick me out..." Reinhard finally resisted the idea of ordering his subordinates to beat up this gangster and ignored it.
The gangster continued.
Lead the enemy deep into the Empire's territory, and then use all your strength to counterattack when his battle lines and supply lines reach the extension limit. This is a sure-win strategy for the opposing side.
"This is very time-consuming!"
Mittermeier expressed this feeling. Anyone who looks at him can be regarded as a short, strong and handsome young officer. He has uncombed honey-colored hair and gray eyes.
Since the traitors of the Allied Forces claim that this military operation is an unprecedented feat, they will definitely make sure their lineup, equipment, and supplies are perfect. Mittermeier's idea that "it takes a lot of time" is indeed a matter of course.
But Reinhard looked around at his admirals with confidence.
"No, it won't take long. Probably less than fifty days will be enough! Oberstein, please explain the basic combat strategy."
The half-white-haired staff member who was named stepped forward and began to give a simple combat explanation. As the explanation deepened and expanded, the admirals looked at each other, and the breath of surprise spread silently among them.
The only discordant thing was the sneer and muttering of Admiral Fafnir: "Is your math taught by your physical education teacher?" But he had no intention of reminding these "idiots" who felt good about themselves, "
It seems that the protagonist's brainless halo ignores the enemy and ourselves...the math and strategic skills of these guys immediately returned to the kindergarten level. But...none of my business! This kind of legal robbery, and the fool Jinmao will take the blame for me. If there are more good things,
A few times is enough!”
On August 22, 796 in the cosmic calendar, the Imperial Domain Expeditionary Force of the Free Planet Alliance set up its headquarters in Iserlohn Fortress. Behind and behind it, a huge fleet composed of 30 million generals formed a neat formation.
The train set off from the capital Heinisen and its surrounding star areas in consecutive days and embarked on the expedition.
