On August 28, 833 in the common calendar, the task force returning home fleet, composed of four Lord God-class dreadnoughts as its core, finally arrived in the Gibraltar galaxy where the South Gate is located.
Although they were intercepted by the Imperial Fleet in the High Seas area, they were still over fifty hours ahead of schedule.
...Well, anyway, I would like to thank the Tuhan people for their gift. Although they were not well-intentioned at first.
This galaxy with the Venus Gate is also the most important transportation hub of the Third Cantilever. Yu Lian remembers that every time he passed through this galaxy, there were more than a thousand cargo ships, passenger ships, and cruise ships of various types flowing through the space.
The trick is that a galaxy with no naturally habitable planets has become a bit busy.
But now, Gibraltar has gathered almost the entire main force of the Outer Rim Fleet, and its scale is even larger than the Battle of the West End System more than three years ago.
This is probably because the four Independence-class dreadnoughts of the Outer Rim Fleet have finally completed their maintenance and returned to active service.
Of course, it was probably because the large-scale military expansion plan launched by the then president Mr. Nikita when he was chairman of the committee was still somewhat practical. In the few years after the Battle of West End, the outer ring fleet was gradually added.
There are three Yinglong-class battle cruisers, four Lexington-class aircraft carriers, and twenty-two Xiaguang-class heavy cruisers, which are copies of the Imperial Clear Sky class. There are also more than a hundred ships of various sizes.
In addition, two of the three nano-maintenance ships originally purchased from the Palladium Bug friends of the Iron Army Complex were deployed in the Outer Rim Fleet.
In short, what was displayed in front of Yu Lian was a huge fleet that far exceeded that of the original West End Galaxy Battle.
"This is the master of bear and tiger." Yu Lian said with emotion: "We are far from losing our resistance."
Probably because he fought the first cosmic war in his third life with the Outer Rim Fleet. In his heart, he still has a strong filter for this community's only elite soldier, and basically regards him as half of his elders.
The troops are gone.
"However, with the powerful outer ring fleet, all the warships combined are not as many as we lost in the Ring of Miracles!" said Chester Rozer.
Are you out of your element? Yu Lian glared at the other party fiercely.
"In addition, the size of the three-nation joint fleet currently gathered in the Blood Lion Pass galaxy is not smaller than the outer ring fleet."
The only thing you're good at is throwing cold water on people! Yu Lian glared at the latter before saying, "Is there any latest news from the New World?"
"The latest news? It's probably that King Solain's reinforcements have arrived at the Unity Fortress. However, Commander Yang Xiyi said that everything is under control. He acted so confident that I don't know if he can
believe him."
After all, the New World does not have the hundreds of mass wave terminals of various sizes found in the Milky Way, nor does it have a communication network spread throughout the galaxy.
For most people in the Milky Way, if they want to know about the war in the Dawn Star Territory, it is conservatively estimated that it will take a week. Yu Lian, who is on the Fuxi ship, is full of concerns about the situation of Teacher Yang in the Unity Fortress and other friends.
I am worried, but now I can only provide any support except help.
At this moment, Yu Lian really felt like he had returned to the cold weapon era, where communication could only rely on the throat. With the development of the border war and the status of friendly forces, he could only wait miserably for the messenger.
He decided to focus on his own problems.
Two hours later, Yu Lian boarded the Fortress of Gibraltar for the second time in his life. The commander of the Outer Rim Fleet, Admiral Joseph Bonaparte, personally appeared at the starport of the fortress to express his welcome.
This is a mature man in his fifties, with blue eyes and brown hair, a thin but resolute face, not particularly tall, but a handsome man who is both majestic and elegant. He can be regarded as a standard template for a Confucian general - speaking of it,
Yang Xiyi is definitely not a model of a Confucian general, but a proper model of an abandoned house.
This was not the first time that Yu Lian had met him. During the winter vacation of the year when he first entered school, Senior Sister Eleanor invited everyone from the student union to celebrate the New Year at her annex in the Lunar City. This person was older than the Senior Sister.
My eldest brother, who was nearly thirty years old, was present at that time.
However, at that time, Yu Lian was just an ordinary freshman, standing among the crowd like a gangster, and did not even say a single word to General Bonaparte.
But this time, he held Yu Lian's hand tightly and shook it vigorously. Although his expression was still resolute and majestic, his eyes were full of gratitude and relief, and he was even vaguely relieved.
Feeling of relaxation.
Yu Lian always felt that if there weren't so many people standing around, his old man would probably say, "Thank God, relatives, you are finally here."
Well, in the past half month, the Outer Rim Fleet has had several fights with the Three Kingdoms United Fleet. Although the overall tactics are superior, they are under the greatest pressure. No, although they continue to win, the enemy
However, the number of battles increased. The combined fleet assembled by the Kingdom of Cathay, the Republic of Bakvi, and the Kingdom of Angmans in the Blood Lion Pass galaxy on the opposite side already included seven dreadnoughts. Its strength alone even exceeded the entire outer ring fleet.
This still hasn’t accounted for the fate of the Imperial fleet.
Now that the Outer Rim Fleet had four more cutting-edge so-called "Number One Dreadnoughts in the Universe", he suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and he naturally relaxed a lot.
Of course, according to legal principles, when Admiral Joseph Bonaparte comes to the star port this time, he should be greeted by the real commander of the task force, Admiral Paul Ferragut, but everyone seems to have forgotten that there is such a device
deal.
Admiral Bonaparte held Yu Lian's hand for half a minute before he remembered that he had lost his temper. There was a real owner here, so he firmly held Admiral Ferragut's hand again. This time he held it for a full minute.
minutes, and then finally said in a relieved and even touched tone: "Sir Ferragut, you are finally here!"
Hey, hey, you actually said it!
Speaking of which, although the senior sister has always said that her eldest brother, who is like a father, is old-fashioned, in fact, General Joseph Bonaparte was also a military attache stationed abroad before, and he should still have above-average social skills.
of.
In addition, Admiral Ferragut had always been an open-minded gentleman because he had been a cook, so he responded with a serious expression: "Fortunately we were not late!"
In short, everyone completed the welcome ceremony relatively smoothly. Then, Admiral Ferragut completed the handover work with full force, and then, surrounded by his escorts from the earth, he prepared to return to the capital.
His next job is as deputy minister of the Military Command Headquarters, serving as deputy to Father Paris. In addition, according to Earth staff, the chubby general will be able to get his own marshal's scepter after returning home.
From a conspiracy theory perspective, the people behind Ferragut wanted to elevate him to check and balance veterans of the War of Independence like Marshal Paris.
From a conspiracy perspective, the Blue Star Community just lost its expedition fleet in the Circle of Miracles. Now that it finally has a "commander" who has completely annihilated the Empire's interception fleet, it should naturally be promoted. It must be
Let the whole universe know that our community has many famous generals and they are not afraid of the empire at all.
Of course, when parting, the old general who could get the Marshal's Scepter as soon as he returned to Earth shook Yu Lian's hands vigorously and lowered his voice and said: "Of course I know that I am not a pure soldier.
.But, people have to be loyal when they come out to hang out. If you help me, I will help you. On the other side of the earth, I will try my best to cooperate with your work."
"That Mao..."
"What's that? It's a name I've never heard of." Admiral Ferragut, who was a cook, blinked his eyes and said: "No matter what, you are still so young, you must keep yourself useful! As long as you are still alive,
Everything is possible.”
Yu Lian felt that this might be the most sincere Admiral Ferragut he had ever spoken to since he met him.
Admiral Ferragut is indeed not a pure soldier, nor is he even an upright and righteous man. But Yu Lian must admit that the relationship between everyone during this period is actually quite pleasant. Now, he just hopes that Ferragut
Sir, everything goes well.
After bidding farewell to his nominal "commander", Yu Lian headed to the Fortress of Gibraltar without stopping, where an urgent military meeting was held.
In addition to Yu Lian, who had just arrived, and General Bonaparte who was the host, the participants also included Lieutenant General Sylvester who was sitting in the Seder Fortress, as well as Chairman of the National Defense Committee Maxer and the Minister of Military Order on the other side of the earth.
Marshal Paris.
In addition, there are department heads of the Intelligence Department, Equipment Department, and Logistics Department.
This was also the most high-end military meeting that Yu Lian had participated in in his entire life, which also meant that he had become the highest-level commander of the community's military.
Of course, starting from Lieutenant General Sylvester, the rest are all holographic projections.
At the beginning of the meeting, Chairman Maxer conveyed the appointments of the President and the National Defense Commission. Yu Lian, who originally held the positions of Deputy Director of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters and First Military Assistant of the Presidential Office, will also serve as Deputy Director of the Outer Ring Theater Command.
Commander.
As for the theater commander, it was naturally General Joseph Bonaparte.
Then, Chairman Maxell explained that based on the current national defense needs, the Community has distinguished all areas where large-scale operations may occur, and divided them into "Central Theater", "Outer Rim Theater", "New Atlanta"
Tees Theater" and "New World Theater".
Although the Chairman did not say anything, Yu Lian quickly realized that these so-called war zones theoretically have the same level of establishment and organization, but their importance is still significantly different.
For example, in the direction of the New Atlantis theater, the community does not directly border the empire and its affiliated countries. If the other party wants to launch an attack here, it will not only need to cross the vast three-no-no zone of Fermo, but also pass through the borders of neutral countries.
Overall, although there are several galaxies that need to be released, they seem to be the safest.
Therefore, in this direction, the size of the fleet deployed by the community is not small, but the combat readiness of the ships and the training level of the officers are really worth raising a question mark.
In the New World Theater, the National Defense Commission has officially appointed Lieutenant General Carter and Major General Yang Xiyi as deputy commanders. These two have also been officially promoted due to their "meritorious service".
For example, Uncle Carter in New Yumen. This good old man who has worked diligently in logistics, equipment and military facilities construction positions all his life, his job is obviously the governor of the New World Sector, but he has become a general. I guess.
Even if he received this appointment, he would be in a state of laughter and laughter.
As for Yang Xiyi, before his thirtieth birthday, he became the youngest lieutenant general in the history of the community, even surpassing the founding heroes of the youth during the War of Independence.
Of course, this is when a certain super-sized psyker is removed.
Well, the direction of the New World is indeed miserable, but the more miserable the situation is, the more credit is needed. Yu Lian estimates that if Lieutenant General Picard on the Freedom Flag can contact the Earth, Gao Liao may be able to get another
Got a star.
As for the direction of the central theater, it is directly commanded by the Military Command Headquarters, and its defense scope includes the local Terra Sector, Pangu Sector, Cantilever Sector, etc. Of course, what is under the jurisdiction of this theater headquarters is not so much
For the actual combat army, there are more than twenty training and training headquarters.
Moreover, Yu Lian always felt that if the imperial army really reached the mainland, the Gongun princes on Earth would not be able to hold on.
But we all know that the more impossible something is, the more it needs to be publicized. The establishment of this local star region can at least give a signal to the citizens of this country and the international community that we will resist to the end.
Finally, there is the outer ring war zone where everyone is now.
This is also the theater where the community's combat effectiveness is currently the most complete. The outer ring star area, the far coast star area, and the New China star area are all within the scope of this theater. Of course, he also needs to bear the greatest military pressure.
The Bakwei and Enbu people on the far shore star field, and the Catai and Angmansi people on the other side of the Nantianmen. To be honest, before the empire's main fleet officially invaded the territory, they were already so overwhelmed that everyone was about to
Out of breath.
"Besides, the Imperial Army is about to end." Lieutenant General Goss, Director of the Intelligence Department of the National Defense Commission, took out a top-secret file and opened it in front of everyone.
The picture that popped up immediately showed the mighty Imperial fleet gathering in a certain galaxy. Those majestic and mighty Imperial warships, reflecting the starlight, formed a neat queue in the picture, with a chilling and fierce momentum, separated by
It can shock the scalp of ordinary people by light years.
Yu Lian just glanced at it and saw three Titan ships, including the "Tirero Valor" that he had dealt with in the Empire's extreme sector.
In addition, Yu Lian also found at least three Sky Castle fortresses in the background screen.
"Oh, they have arrived at the Pass of Kings!" Admiral Bonaparte sighed.
The so-called "Wanwang Pass" is also one of the most important military hubs and transportation hubs between the empire's mainland and foreign lands. The reason for this name is not that there are 10,000 kings living there this time, but because the empire's army conquered it.
The road often starts from here. The conquered kings of all nations and tribes want to kneel down to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven here.
"This is the information that my intelligence officers worked hard to send back." Intelligence Minister Lieutenant General Goss said.
The Military Intelligence Department of the National Defense Commission is naturally the same "commissioner and commander-in-chief" that "the State Council and the State Council are all losers".
Yu Lian was not very familiar with the head of the department, Lieutenant General Goss, and felt that what he said was too exaggerated. There were at least two to three thousand warships in the screen. Just find a passing tourist and book a hotel with the sky view.
This picture can be taken in any room.
Speaking of which, after President Nikita took office, the new Chairman of the Internal Affairs Committee, Edward Shona, was said to have begun to reorganize the internal affairs and intelligence departments, but this little time was only enough to reorganize the national affairs and security departments.
.The board probably hasn’t had time to fall on the committee’s side yet.
