The Yulian fleet, which was moving like a stranger, as if they didn't feel that anyone was pursuing them at all, sailed away from the Cuiling Galaxy in a formation full of flaws. They maintained this marching pattern at the border of the Bakvi Republic.
Together with the rest of the fleet, Hui slowly entered the Lucknar Corridor and headed towards Seder Fortress.
Of course, just as Yu Lian had always expected, after being intimidated by him, the main force of the imperial fleet, which had "no real heroes", clearly controlled more than five times its own strength, and did not continue to pursue it.
At this time, it was already October 25, 833 in the Common Calendar.
Then, everyone finally confirmed that during the battle at Cuiling Fortress, a rather embarrassing and small-probability incident did occur on the Natural Crest.
"Does that mean that Admiral Hegobo was just shot?" When he received the news, Yu Lian was eating river crabs sent from New China with dried sweet potatoes, and he immediately felt that they were so chewy.
The crab meat is not very fragrant anymore.
"Yes, congratulations. Although you have not been able to set the record for the range of artillery strikes in the history of the galaxy, you can definitely set a new record for the results of artillery strikes." Such a calm kid like Luo Zeshi could not hide his excitement.
In fact, when he received the battle report, he confirmed it three times before deciding to report it.
"This is the second Imperial Space Fleet Admiral to die in your hands. Since the independence of the community, no... since the time when people on earth entered the universe, no one has created such a glorious achievement.
"
"You can't ignore Commander Yang of the New World. His achievements include electing emperors and marshals of the empire. I haven't heard that two generals can become a marshal."
This hellish joke was too disrespectful to the big bosses of the Imperial Army, but everyone felt very happy and burst into laughter. The bridge was immediately filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Chief of Staff Mkawa also said: "In the Battle of Cuiling, you faced an enemy force five or six times your own, but you were able to move vertically and horizontally with ease, defeating the enemy and returning. Thousands of enemy troops did not dare to advance even an inch. This was still a great victory.
.Since we arrived at the far shore, it has been ten battles."
Having said that, who said that serious people would not say flattery? In other words, it is this kind of meticulous butler type uncle who makes people feel more comfortable when he speaks flattery.
Yu Lian was very moved to accept the other party's flattery, but he added: "I estimate that people on the other side of the earth will definitely regard this 'Ten Dangs and Ten Battles' as the best propaganda material."
"Yes, maybe because of this, we can exchange for 50,000 standard missiles of 8 models from the alliance, and we can get a 20% discount on the final payment of the remaining eight God-class ships." Luo Zeshi said with a smile.
"Then, is it possible?" Yu Lianda said.
"What you said is..."
"Fifty thousand Thor's standard sublight speed missiles, and a 20% discount on the main god level."
Rozez paused for a moment and tilted his head unnaturally: "Actually, from the feedback from Colonel Silva, the ambassador is making his best efforts, but it will take time to continue to ferment before concrete results appear. Fortunately,
, Judging from these speeches by His Excellency the President, the public opinion of the alliance is ****."
"Public opinion can be manipulated. But what about reality?"
"...Low-interest loan?" Luo Zeshi asked.
"The Alliance has been giving us loans every year, even before the war."
"Arms assistance?" Chief of Staff Mkawa calculated.
"Yes, but it is not as big as imagined. It has not even reached the peak during the Revolutionary War. But the size of the Imperial Army we are facing now is more than four times that of the Revolutionary War."
The chief of staff pondered for a moment, then put on a smile: "Your victory will become a trump card for the Earth and the embassy in the alliance."
Yu Lian couldn't help but sigh again, it's really useful for a butler-like uncle to say flattery.
He smiled and said: "I don't mind being a publicity material. But if everything goes as expected, this may be the last victory we have won for a long time, right?"
Of course he was pouring cold water on it. But now, only the cold water poured out by himself can have a real effect.
Major General Mkawa and Rozeshi looked at each other, probably feeling that the situation was a bit delicate.
"Marshal Ikenluojia is a veteran general who has experienced hundreds of battles. Don't look at the fact that the empire is filled with so-called 'famous generals' who have risen by suppressing rebels and annexing small countries. In fact, as long as someone can get the Marshal's Scepter,
, there is no one who lives up to their name. They are qualified to participate in the Privy Council meeting, and they are very aware of the empire’s size advantages, so they can construct strategies from a higher dimension.”
He paused, shrugged and smiled: "Before, the empire did not dare to continue the pursuit. My intimidation might have had some effect, but I am self-aware. Although this is very cool, it is actually very time-sensitive."
"So you did it mainly to attract attention, right? Is that so?" Of course, the person who professionally interrupted could not be the loyal adjutant or the diligent chief of staff. It could only be some elusive zero element.
Cyberwoman is gone.
At this time, Xiao Hui had already touched his face less than three inches away from his side, and his flawless and sculptural face suddenly became more vivid with the addition of a wicked smile.
Of course, Yu Lian pretended not to see it and continued to explain: "People like Marshal Ikenluojia will definitely understand that as long as they can give full play to their physical advantages, they will be invincible.
land. The Galactic Empire in the future should choose to fight steadily and step by step."
To put it bluntly, it is a fortified stronghold that makes it impossible to fight a war. But don’t think that it lacks technical content. Being able to restrain a huge number of troops from various places, with different languages and even races to move forward step by step has a huge impact on the commander’s command.
test.
However, Yu Lian didn't think that the other side couldn't do it.
Even if Marshal Ikenluojia cannot do it, the professional staff, military law and military and political systems under the Grand Marshal's Mansion will definitely be able to help him do it.
"Marshal Ikenluojia has no need to take risks, and of course there is no need to pursue him." Yu Lian shrugged.
"However, in this case, the empire's consumption will definitely be much greater than ours, right?" Luo Zeshi said.
"Yes, but their national strength is much greater than ours. When it comes to competing for internal strength, we have to look at the strategic determination of the decision-makers." When he said this, Yu Lian wanted to press his temples. He was really right.
The Gungun princes of the earth don’t have much faith.
Chief of Staff Mkawa said: "...It seems that the future will depend on the diplomatic efforts of the Earth. If we can get the strong support of the Alliance, we are not afraid that it will take so long with the Empire."
"Yes, this is our chance to win." Although Yu Lian felt that the chief of staff was a little optimistic, he was not prepared to use unfounded "prejudice" to pour cold water on his subordinates. This would only make him appear inferior.
Like a resentful woman.
"chief of staff,"
Then, he put his legs on the command table, crossed his hands flat in front of his abdomen, and assumed a comfortable but unseemly posture.
On a normal day, the butler-type Chief of Staff Mkawa would definitely have spoken out to dissuade him, loudly saying something unpleasant but certainly correct, such as "He will be the courage of the three armies" and "The commander-in-chief must set an example for everyone".
But this time, he remained silent throughout the whole process, probably because he really felt that the commander was too tired.
"Okay, it's a long road, and we still have time to explore together. Before that, let's have a good rest. Everyone, go and have a rest. Chester, give me another cup of sweet potato roast."
"This is home-brewed rice wine using sweet potatoes produced by Baichuanxing. Mr. Qi plans to name it Danzhou Wang."
"Well, it's really elegant, but isn't this still sweet potato roasting?"
"...Maybe it's related to the necessity of packaging. So, do you want some snacks to go with the wine?"
"Natural. It would be better if we have some more Shirakawa Hoshi's projectile lobster."
