Chapter 1395 Chapter 1395 Reunion and Reorganization
The Yang fleet's battle in the last two weeks of September was conducted in a double day of sorrow and joy.
The so-called good news is, of course, that Yang's fleet successfully completed its rendezvous with Horatio Vane's fleet right under the nose of New Seawatch, a major imperial colonial town.
The harvest from this was even much greater than imagined. Everyone originally thought that the so-called "Horatio Venn Fleet" was just a few relatively complete but tired small battleships, plus three or five
The shocked Ring of Miracles was defeated. But in fact, what finally appeared in front of Yang's fleet were five energetic Fletcher III-class destroyers and two County-class cruisers, which were Horatio Venn's original colleagues.
.There are also two Valorant-class heavy cruisers and two Orion-class cruisers, plus a Hyperion battlecruiser and a Lexington-class aircraft carrier. These are the defeated troops of the Ring of Miracles. Although the ships are
The condition is not perfect, but the condition of the soldiers is still good.
"After we successfully ambush the Empire's Yarlach, we turned back towards the Circle of Miracles. However, we encountered the Hyperion, and then obtained a batch of supplies from the Predator secret warehouse on Planet 3 of the DL114 system.
." Horatio Venn explained to everyone.
Some people expressed confusion. Yang Xiyi explained to everyone that it was actually what they obtained during the Great Expedition last year. When Yu Lian and Brunhild "swallowed up the stars like tigers", they also discovered predators on some remote planets.
Secret warehouses were built, and these warehouses were hidden before the "allies" of the empire on the opposite side noticed.
When Yu Lian went to the Alliance to report on his duties, he told Yang Xiyi this information. Before the war began, Yang Xiyi told Eleanor, Horatio Wayne, General Picard and other trusted comrades in arms.
"Did he already guess that we would go to war with the empire at that time?" Akinayama Hachiman asked.
"This is actually not difficult to guess. The territory of the Dawn Star Territory is so fertile, but the sovereignty must be shared with us. According to the empire's consistent style, war will happen sooner or later. Of course, if it is not the Ring of Miracles, maybe it can
Let’s postpone it to ten or eight years,” Yang Xiyi said.
The implication is that these warehouses will come in handy sooner or later. Maybe one day they can save everyone's life at a critical moment.
"So, he only told you about the secret warehouse, but he didn't tell Admiral Connery and Chief of Staff Tivington!" Michelle Kent said.
Yang Xiyi said seriously: "The main force of the expedition fleet led by Admiral Conneris drove all the way to the hinterland of the Dawn Star Territory after breaking through the Demon's Throat. There was never a chance to report to the two officers face to face. This is not the mainland, and we are separated from each other.
There are millions of stars in the sea, and there is always the possibility of being monitored using gravitational waves, so there is no report for the time being."
"So, he didn't tell the Military Command Headquarters or the National Defense Commission after he returned to China?" Kent asked again.
"He reported it. I think Marshal Paris and the Chairman of the National Defense Committee should also have seen it, and even the committee members have seen it." Yang Xiyi continued to say seriously: "I and you unruly people have a backbone.
The arrogant young loner is different, but he is a professional soldier of the Republic who pays great attention to procedural justice. I think that guy Yu Lian should be the same."
In fact, of course, this is true. After all, after Feifei's advice, Yu Lian is of course very particular about procedural justice and rules and regulations. So, when he returned to China to report on his work last year, he drafted two detailed reports on the battle situation in the Dawn Star Territory.
, one is for the Minister of Military Command, Marshal Paris, and the other is of course for the National Defense Committee. The former has very little nonsense, and of course it is all practical information; the latter is full of literary talent and seems more like prose, but it is an informative report.
Buried under a lot of tedious tables and data.
Yu Lian can be sure that the congressmen who serve on the National Defense Committee must have no intention of extracting effective information from these lengthy reports. However, from a legal perspective, it does not constitute failure to report knowledge.
Of course, these were some operations used to make a living before the war, and they were just routine survival skills learned from veteran bureaucrats. When the war broke out, they no longer mattered.
Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses and exchanged a knowing look with Mihir Kent.
Both of them felt that they had learned something about life. He actually thought that when it came to rebellion, compared with the indifferent Chief Yang Xiyi, they, the core members of the 830th Lion Heart Club, were indeed nothing more than
The vulgar and arrogant young man still has a lot to learn.
Yang Xiyi seemed to feel the gazes of the two young men, and couldn't help but shudder, and said to Wayne: "However, you can use destroyers to gather the battleships, stabilize the morale of the army, and restore the formation. It is indeed a feat. Even during the War of Independence
Heroes such as Marshal Cook and Marshal Luckner are nothing more than that."
Horatio Wayne naturally accepted the superior's praise openly and generously, and his face suddenly showed a mixture of humility and pride: "I have always aimed at the forefathers of the Revolutionary War.
If future generations are still unable to do what our ancestors were able to do, they will be too hopeless."
This guy is really easy to understand! Yang Xiyi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
He paused and then added: "Of course, this is actually thanks to the captain of the Cannae, Colonel Prince."
Venn's words were very free and easy, but everyone saw that he only mentioned the name of the captain of the aircraft carrier Cannae, but did not mention the captain of the battle cruiser Hyperion, Colonel Mordinson. The specific situation may not be so harmonious.
.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Colonel Prince has just turned fifty this year and is an aircraft carrier captain who was born as a pilot. However, he also has an elder brother who serves as a local councilor in New Marseille and a son who serves in the largest Gallic Chamber of Commerce in the region.
And coincidentally, New Marseille and the Galonia Chamber of Commerce are considered the territory of the Venn family.
This is probably why the aircraft carrier captain is willing to accept the deployment of an officer of the same level who is half his age and only one-tenth of his qualifications.
Of course, two people with such a relationship can meet each other in the vast universe. I can only say that the fate is really wonderful.
After they successfully ambushed an imperial fleet and perfectly sank a battle cruiser, Captain Prince was convinced of the young Wayne, and the previous little grudge no longer existed.
However, the fleet later encountered the battlecruiser Hyperion. When Wien and the others arrived, the battlecruiser had just escaped a round of pursuit, but the supplies and ammunition on board were about to run out, and the captain
Colonel Mortinson was also seriously injured and fell into a coma.
The first mate thought about simply surrendering, but was opposed by the navigator and boatswain.
If Wayne arrived half an hour late, the two groups might have to fight in the boat.
Wayne led his men to board the Hyperion's bridge in person, and without hesitation executed the first mate and his buddies who wanted to surrender, and then divided some of his supplies out, and finally put the ship under control.
The frightened battlecruiser was calmed down.
However, due to the addition of two battleships in succession, the entire fleet's supplies have reached their limit.
As a last resort, Horatio Wayne could only take the fleet to the secret military warehouses left by Yu Lian. He knew that these warehouses had probably been discovered by the imperial army, and he also knew that doing so might expose his target, but
There is nothing that can be done about this matter.
But just when the entire fleet was marching cautiously and with hunger, a clear battle report came from the Unity Fortress. The targets of all the imperial fleets within a few hundred light years were attracted by the Yang fleet that was killing everyone.
, which gave Horatio Vane's fleet an opportunity to take advantage of.
He led everyone to find the secret warehouse, finally alleviating the urgent need.
Of course, that warehouse in the DL124-7 galaxy is just one of the twenty-three secret warehouses that Yu Lian filled in the Dawn Star Territory. The amount of military supplies stored is actually limited, and it cannot support everyone.
How long to use it.
Therefore, when Wayne was discussing returning to the division with the Yang fleet, Colonel Mordinson, who had already woken up, raised objections and felt that he should lead the fleet out of the Dawn Star Territory and divert directly to the New Jade Gate.
However, Wayne felt that the further toward the Dawn Passage, the greater the possibility of encountering the Imperial Fleet. With the small amount of troops we currently have, it is impossible to successfully break through. In comparison, after meeting with the Yang Fleet,
, only by holding together for warmth can we take more initiative.
However, Colonel Mortinson still insisted on his opinion, saying that since no one could convince anyone, it would be better to part ways.
Then, the captain of the Hyperion never returned to his loyal battleship. Horatio Venn then asked the navigator to work as acting captain, and finally stabilized the actions of the entire fleet.
Already.
Immediately afterwards, there was the victory meeting in New Seaview.
In such a star field surrounded by powerful enemies, the successful rendezvous of two Earth fleets that still have organization and combat effectiveness will inevitably give rise to a sense of security that comes from sticking together for warmth, not to mention the boost to morale.
What's more important is that New Seaview's imperial gift package is enough for all members of Yang's fleet to hold more than a dozen parties comfortably.
However, in Yang Xiyi's view, the biggest gain is actually Horatio Wayne himself.
A young man in his twenties gathered so many defeated troops and allowed them to restore their organizational structure and combat effectiveness. The decisiveness and skill he displayed in this process made him another military genius who had entered a period of rapid growth.
This red-haired boy didn't look very smart when he was in school, but he was really a natural fit for the battlefield.
Let’s look at Eleanor Bonaparte, who is decisive in killing people, Hachiman Akinayama, who is full of bad ideas, and Michiel Kent, who is impeccable in his work. Who dares to say that the community will have no successors? Who dares to say that the young people of the earth
Will it be worse than the opposite Galactic Empire?
Sure enough, war is an era when heroes emerge in large numbers!
But then again, the shogunate of King Sulyuka opposite has gathered so many young talents from the empire. Whose shogunate do the geniuses from Earth here belong to?
Yang Xiyi was immediately dumbfounded by his own random thoughts. He was obviously still young, so why was his thinking getting closer to some of the states of Lord Gongun?
At this time, I heard Horatio Venn say seriously: "As the commander, even if it is based on safety considerations, you should still move to the Hyperion. The ship materials we captured from New Seaview,
Preliminary repairs can be made to the hull, and safety can still be guaranteed. Oh, fortunately we have a nano-repair ship, and the Palladium robot is really easy to use."
Of course, if you want the capital ships that participated in the Ring of Miracles battle, such as the Hyperion or the Cannae, to fully restore their combat effectiveness, they must undergo more thorough repairs in the dock. However, the closest dock to us is
It’s the new Lushun far away.
Even if you think about it on your knees, given our current military situation, this is almost impossible to do.
"In addition, we must choose a qualified captain. Colonel Mordinson is too seriously injured and can no longer perform his duties as captain. I have always asked the navigator, Lieutenant Colonel Farhan, to act as his deputy, but he has always said that he is not professional.
, I can only take over my duties temporarily."
"Is the injury too serious?" Yang Xiyi glanced at Wayne meaningfully.
"Yes, the injury is too serious." Wayne said decisively.
Yang Xiyi smiled and glanced at Eleanor Bonaparte, who said: "Commodore Kong Qingyu, the former deputy commander of the Thirteenth Fleet, can also serve as the captain of the Hyperion. Official strategy in the Devil's Throat
Before, he gave the throne number to Yuli...to Commander Yu Company, and it was natural for him to be the first mate."
"It's not the Throne, it's the Mars Cook Memorial Hall now." Venn couldn't help but remind him.
"I know, I'm just used to it." Eleanor sneered: "Of course, my subordinates feel that Commander Yang is worthy of a Lord God-class ship, but in difficult times, please make do with it."
"There's no point in flattering me. You're just reluctant to give me the Ulysses as your flagship, right?"
"Well, I admit it now. I can't help it. The combat power of any warship is precious now."
"Then, let's take this opportunity to reorganize the team." Yang Xiyi agreed.
Yang Xiyi really doesn't have much demand for a flagship. He had a great time staying on the cruiser Ulysses 12 before, but now that everyone asked him to move to the Hyperion, he has complied.
Taking this opportunity, he also reorganized the Yang Fleet. The battlecruiser Hyperion, all 6 Ranger-class cruisers, and 12 assault ships where he belonged were the central fleet, which he personally commanded. Kong Qingyu
As an assistant, Michel Kent continued to serve as adjutant. Eleanor Bonaparte used the Aurora as the flagship and unified management of all remaining heavy cruisers and torpedo ships as the first guerrilla fleet, which was the only asset of the fleet.
The trump card: Rear Admiral Marklov directly controls all three aircraft carriers and five light carriers, plus two cruisers equipped with high-power terminals to form the aircraft carrier formation.
Two work ships, two (captured) cargo ships, a hospital ship and a nano repair ship, as well as two predator carriers, are the auxiliary fleet, commanded by Rear Admiral Orwell. Of course, because Orwell
The rear admiral was from the Marine Corps and was not professionally qualified in fleet command, so he was assisted by Akinayama Hachiman.
Finally, there is Colonel Horatio Venn. He will lead four county-class cruisers and all destroyers to serve as escort and cover for the main force and aircraft carrier of the Second Guerrilla Fleet. He will also be responsible for the battle after the battle.
pursuit.
In this way, the second-placed student from the famous Central National Defense University Class of 830, became the admiral of the squadron as a school officer. However, again, it is a war period after all, and everything will be based on the actual war situation.
If we think about it, the person who can best adapt to the battlefield will be able to rise to the top.
In short, after the rendezvous, robbery, reorganization, etc., the combat power and manpower of the Yang fleet have been significantly strengthened again.
