The eyes of the two old marshals suddenly lit up, and they felt that this was indeed a feasible plan. A fleet that could run and fight would not only give the people of Earth a sense of security, but also be able to rush to the most urgent places at critical moments.
To put it bluntly, the First Fleet, which has been stationed in the solar system, played this role in the past. Of course, because it has been prosperous in the solar system for a long time, this fleet, which is the most powerful fleet in the community on paper, has become a complete specimen of the mainland.
, this is probably one of the reasons for the fiasco of Miracle Circle.
But no matter what, it is indeed necessary to rebuild a fleet capable of mobile combat, whether it is for the sense of security of the Lords of the Earth, or for the needs of national defense security and strategic tactics.
So, the three old men, who together were over 250 years old, took action again, dragging a group of tired headquarters officers to stay up all night, and finally formulated a reconstruction plan for the new team.
"I will take this plan to Congress tomorrow... okay, today." Chairman Maxell said: "I will do my best to convince the president and vice president."
Basically, as long as President Nikita and Vice President Yellen nod, Congress is very likely to pass it... Of course, how long it will take is another matter entirely.
"Thank you for your hard work, Chairman." Marshal Paris said: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, although the two of us cannot be regarded as friends, the two years of cooperation have been quite pleasant at least in official matters."
Chairman Maxer smiled bitterly and said: "I hope this happiness can last until the end. After this war is over, I will take responsibility and resign. In fact, if it were not for the war, I, the Chairman of the National Defense Committee, would
My position has become a hot potato and I have resigned a long time ago."
"oh?"
"I recommended Admiral Connery as the commander of the expeditionary fleet. I must take responsibility for my hiring mistakes. Now that I think about it, brother Connery and I are actually the same kind of people. No, or rather
It's like me who is twenty years younger. If he had been engaged in military affairs or foreign affairs liaison, rather than leading troops on the front line, he probably wouldn't have ended up like he did today."
Marshal Aylwin consoled him: "But if you don't choose him, who can you choose for the position of admiral of the expedition fleet? When Conneris became the admiral of the Solar System Fleet, I opposed it, but I still didn't.
The so-called Military Command Department actually serves as a lubrication and communication function between the military region, the fleet and the National Defense Commission. It actually has no real power. Old Norm, you have already felt it, right?"
Marshal Paris said loudly: "I can comfort myself by holding the marshal's staff wrapped around me every day!"
"You see, the same goes for personnel, and so does the system. This is the result of the balance and compromise of the forces of all parties. Our country is built on compromise. Only the compromise between the alliance and the empire gives us the space to survive. Internally, various
The compromise between the factions has led to the current situation where the interests of all parties cannot be lost, and they can only coexist with Guang Tongchen to create a tiger-skin community government."
Marshal Aylwin showed a nostalgic look: "We originally had the opportunity to solve these things when the country was just founded and when the opportunities were best. However, history and destiny did not give us these opportunities. So,
These diseased cells grow larger and larger, turning into disgusting cysts, which has become a problem that we younger generations have to face."
There was a brief sense of depression at the scene, and even the strong coffee and snacks just delivered by the orderly no longer smelled good.
Marshal Elwin shrugged and smiled: "Well, let's talk about something more realistic. Maxell, you have to transfer the Seventh Fleet back and combine it with the Yinglong ships on Mars to form a mobile force. This is indeed
A very feasible idea. However, we still have to beware of the whims of the gentlemen. As I said, they are very imaginative only at times like this."
The old minister paused and said: "What if some master said that the Lord God class is also a cutting-edge high-speed battleship and is more suitable as the core of the mobile fleet, and they must be transferred back to Earth? So, how should we deal with it?"
There was a short silence again.
However, after Chairman Maxell pondered for a moment, he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Then, I can only try my best to make the pressure on Nantianmen and the far bank more serious in the cabinet and Congress, saying that
The combat capabilities of these four dreadnoughts are very important to us. But in this aspect, I am still relatively professional. When I was the president of the National Defense University and needed funds, I accumulated a lot of relevant experience."
The chairman's words did sound a bit like a joke, but his whole temperament became inexplicably high-spirited.
Marshal Paris laughed and said: "Very good, very energetic! This is probably what I felt when I led people to kill the battlefield in the West Tail Galaxy."
Although I say this, the real world is very cruel. You will never win if you have fighting spirit and determination. Can they convince the ministers in the cabinet and Congress that none of the three old soldiers are infallible?
grasp.
However, when the sky was getting dark in the east, the elderly people who had stayed up all night had a hasty breakfast, and when they and their teams were going to work again, they suddenly received the latest information.
"Have enemy reinforcements appeared in the direction of the far bank and Nantianmen?" Marshal Paris looked at the colonel from the Intelligence Department who came over to report in surprise.
"Yes, sir! On the far shore, in the I Count-14 system, which is far away from the three jump points of the Said system, the shadow of the Imperial Guards Fleet appears. The specific number is still being investigated, but it must include a Barbarossa-class ship.
and two Flame Dragon-class dreadnoughts. As for the South Tianmen direction, the fleet gathered in the Blood Gate Galaxy includes six Corona-class ships and three Bluewing-class ships. It is definitely the main force of the Cathay and Bakvi people. In addition,
Our reconnaissance ships also found multiple Imperial Force Angel-class battle cruisers and the mass projection information of the Xingyan-class special arsenal ship somewhere, but they are not entirely sure. The reconnaissance ships of the Outer Rim Fleet are still exploring."
After the colonel finished his report, he left the paperwork and electronic files and left quickly.
Marshal Paris stroked the gray beard on his chin and pondered: "...So, is this good news or bad news?"
Chairman Maxer showed a relieved smile: "At least at this time, we can use it as good news."
On the other side, Yu Lian on the Fuxi was patiently talking to President Nishita.
In fact, all this is exactly as I expected. These days, there are not many people who leapfrog their superiors to report, but there are many people who leapfrog their superiors and micro-manage things. We cannot expect that the Gonggun princes of the earth will be exempt from the common practice.
However, there is a saying. Although President Nishita has also been the chairman of the committee, after all, he graduated from a prestigious school, is tall and handsome, has a harmonious family, and has been a barrister. In short, he has the face of a political elite, and the other one only went to Pheasant Preparatory College.
The one who is a cross-dressing boss and the Sister of the Holy Lance, Tintin, soaks in mercury and has a typical warlord face is really different.
In short, although President Nishita likes to chat with generals at all levels through private messages and is keen to be brothers with everyone, he has never given any orders beyond his level in official matters. In fact, he can be regarded as a very decent politician.
What's more, he is now the head of state, so he needs to pay more attention to his dignity. Even if an old-faced politician wants to micro-manage, he will definitely take advantage of others.
Does this mean that President Nishita is actually a little panicked? That’s why he doesn’t care about dignity?
Although Yu Lian would inevitably think so. But in fact, in the communication, Commander Nihita's behavior was still very normal. The first thing he did was to commend the Battle of the High Seas, and he said directly: "Such a
After the war, you have become a legendary hero who can compete with the War of Independence, no, even surpass the forefathers of the War of Independence. You are the benefactor of the people of the earth, the benefactor of the Blue Star Community, and my benefactor."
What an exaggeration! I just killed an interceptor fleet of the empire, and this is your reaction. If there is a more glorious record, will you give me a thumbs up?
Yu Lian was immediately covered in goosebumps by Mr. President's enthusiasm. If he had known that the other party had also called Yang Xiyi "my soldier fairy" and "the wings of the sky", he probably wouldn't be so nervous.
.
Even so, he still tried to keep a calm expression and said calmly: "If you can convince the Congress and tell them that the empire is not invincible, then the battle of the official will be meaningful."
"Yes, the empire is invincible... No, it is not invincible. Yes, they are human beings and they can die, and battleships can be sunk." The president repeated the same content several times, as if trying hard
As if he made himself believe it. Then, he showed that bright, energetic, and unrestrained smile again, as if he could overcome all kinds of difficulties.
"Yu Lian, your current job is still my military affairs assistant, right?"
"I am ashamed of myself. I have received my assistant's salary for half a year, but I haven't reported to the Presidential Palace yet."
"Ah hahaha, then it is not a violation of discipline for me to ask you about military issues." Mr. President pondered for a moment: "We need to rebuild the solar system fleet and need core battleships. You also know that according to the original plan, those who returned to China will
The first batch of four Main God-class ships are two each for the Solar System Fleet and the Outer Rim Fleet. The Fuxi you are currently on will replace the Independence and become the flagship of the Community Space Fleet."
"I understand. Now that the solar system is empty, we hope to rebuild the First Fleet with four main ships, right?" Yu Lian smiled.
He really didn't expect that the president would come to ask in person, but he was prepared after all.
So, in the next one-hour meeting, Yu Lian first recounted what he had discussed with Marshal Paris, of course, in a way that President Nikita liked to hear. Seeing that the other party seemed to be moved,
After that, he took out the star map and deduced the empire's possible next military action.
"In any case, the pressure in the direction of Nantianmen is the greatest. Regardless of whether we want to transfer the main god ship back to Earth in the future, we still have to relieve the pressure on one side first."
It took Mr. President half a minute to understand what the other party meant.
"You, you mean..."
"If we cut off the enemy, the Imperial fleet in the direction of Nantianmen would be a better choice. We are already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, but only by making the Empire feel the pain, many times, can we continue to resist.
Determination can make our allies feel confident and persist." Yu Lian also showed a determined expression.
A trace of hesitation flashed across the president's face: "Yu Lian, officials from the Imperial Embassy said in private that they were actually opposed to this war. As a result, the Prime Minister's Office and the Privy Council also had a fierce conflict. This may explain that,
The empire itself cannot use all its power."
Yu Lian felt that if he were face to face, he would definitely stuff Dawn into the opponent's stomach, but he still managed to make a thoughtful expression and nodded: "This is good news. It may explain the war in the empire.
Our will is not firm. However, as long as the empire comes to an end, we will never stop taking advantage of it. If we surrender, the 'Nishita New Deal' that has finally achieved initial results will be in vain, and
Your historical evaluation…”
Of course, President Nikita has not implemented any very original and forward-looking new policies. If there is any difference, it is probably the large-scale construction and purchase of armaments, and the multi-party coalition government in the political arena.
, and a package of development plans for the Dawn Star Territory and even the entire New World, right?
Even so, some media still gave such evaluations as "Nishita's New Deal". Naturally, the president was very impressed. He also expected to rely on these evaluations to be listed in the history books.
However, if he is a groveling head of state, how will he be evaluated in the history books?
Sure enough, Yu Lian saw Mr. President's hesitation again.
"Your Excellency, no, Brother Kai, you should have been the greatest president after the War of Independence. You should have led us to another prosperous era. Such a future must not be ruined by the corruption and tyranny of the empire.
This is the end! I will definitely shed all my blood on the front line in order to fight for this future. Please rest assured. Since I can destroy the empire once in the Grand Sea Star Territory, I will definitely defeat them the second time!"
President Keith Nishita finally showed a moved expression, and even couldn't help wiping his tears. Then, his face also showed obvious determination and courage, and he said seriously: "Brother, I will go to the national disaster with my brother!"
Yu Lian felt that the authenticity of his move this time should be much more than before.
At this moment, although the two of them were separated by three thousand light years, even though they were separated by this vast universe, they both accomplished the feat of cutting off a chicken's head and burning yellow paper.
After cutting off the communication, Yu Lian quickly wiped his goosebumps and was about to get some wheat soda to calm down when he received a report from Luo Zeshi.
I really don’t even have time to breathe! Have I exhausted all my hard work in this life? Yu Lian sighed and answered the phone.
"Admiral Joseph Bonaparte of the Outer Rim Fleet and Vice Admiral William Sylvester of the Far Shore Fleet are online."
Yu Lian blinked and immediately guessed the reason.
"The real master finally showed up?"
Luo Zeshi nodded: "Yes, although the scale detected so far is not large, several battleships have indeed appeared. The two admirals should be counting on our four main ships to be in place."
Yu Lian smiled: "Well, this is actually good news."
"Good news?" Luo Zeshi was stunned.
"At this time, even if you can relax your ears a little, it will be good news. Please connect the communication. Oh, by the way, help me inform Director Luger and Mayor Ye Zhixia of Lumina, as well as the new
Mr. Qi from China. I need to speak to them in an hour."
