Chapter 1,440 Either don’t do it or do it absolutely
Yu Lian added: "In addition, Vice President Hierro also brought your promotion order when he visited this time. When he brings the order himself, he can call you Major General Bazin."
Brigadier General Bazin always felt that the other party's words were very rude to the Vice President, as if he was treating the second head of state as a special tool for delivering certificates, but he did not dare to think too much about it.
After all, he is still a professional soldier with a strong sense of responsibility and honor. After expressing his gratitude and hesitating for a moment, he still said in a suggestive tone: "I understand your choice to abandon all the galaxies opposite the Fortress.
.Now, we really do not have the troops to maintain these results..."
Yu Lian shook his head and smiled: "That is far from being a victory. If the enemy's galaxy cannot be immediately converted into gold coins, it cannot be regarded as a victory, and it will only dilute our defensive strength. If the alliance is willing to pay, I
But we sold all the systems we captured to them two months ago. Why hasn’t the Ministry of Foreign Affairs taken action?”
"...Can this actually be sold?" The old man was shocked. If it were someone else, he might think that the other party was making a bad joke, but if it were Yu Lian, the invincible Dragon of Dawn, he would
I couldn't help but believe it.
"If it was in the age of space exploration, it must be sellable, right?" Yu Lian nodded seriously.
Okay, he was indeed joking.
Brigadier General Bazin seemed to have understood Yu Lian's style, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. The psychological burden caused by having several of his colleagues shot dead also disappeared.
At this time, Brigadier General Bazin may have truly confirmed that Commander Yu, who became famous at a young age, was indeed one of the same people as these old fighting men. But because of this, he absolutely should do something to report the commander's good intentions.
So, after a brief thought, the old general said sternly: "Sir Yu, even if you want to defend Saide Fortress, you can't really hide here and be beaten passively. You must choose mobile defense."
"Indeed, mobile defense and elastic defense are the correct principles for defensive operations." Yu Lian nodded.
In fact, even in the age of cold weapons, there are enough battle cases to prove that no matter how strong a stronghold is in hand, once you lose the courage and ability to maneuver and fight, you will choose to hold on to the city and be passively beaten, and you will not be able to escape the city.
It's just a matter of time.
"While the main fleet is being renovated, our squadrons with cruisers and light aircraft carriers as the core of the battle must still sail out of the far shore nebula. On the one hand, we must expand the warning network, and we must fully implement the enemy's rear harassment and
Destruction mission." General Bazin's voice was not loud, but it was very loud and bold.
Yu Lian nodded. This was actually the reason why he wanted to organize these miscellaneous troops into a guerrilla squadron. Unexpectedly, he and this veteran of the War of Independence actually thought of going together.
"It will take more than a month for the two Laitalin battle cruisers to be incorporated, right? During this period, there is no need for me to wait like this. You can apply for the battle. At the most, you can lead the fleet to attack in the day after tomorrow.
.”
"Although the fleet has been reorganized, most of these warships were not your subordinates before."
Isn't this a bit too extreme? By the day after tomorrow, you might not even be able to recognize all the captains under your command.
"That's true. But I firmly believe that integration in actual combat missions is much faster than integration in training. Sir, the empire will come at any time, and we don't have much time." The old man's voice was still sonorous and powerful, and very convincing.
Seeing him, Yu Lian felt like he was seeing an old hunter living in the pioneer land.
Simple, calm, low-key, energetic, yet sharp, he never yells when he can do something. More importantly, he is full of a vitality that only belongs to the working people.
You truly deserve to be a veteran of the War of Independence! This spirit, this spirit, and this courage are all tempered by a lifetime of hard work on the battlefield! Those bureaucrats in the "elite group" who have nothing but academic qualifications and special expertise are not good enough.
Study? Don't think that wearing a uniform means you are a soldier, and don't think that you are really smart because you are promoted quickly.
What? I'm also in the "Elite Group"? And I'm also a "Moon Man"? And I'm also in the "Tiger Talisman Group"?
Then it'll be fine.
In short, Yu Lian feels that he is very lucky. Most of the time, he needs comrades by his side, either a Buddhist uncle who does not cause trouble or a reliable grandpa. He is already very happy.
At least compared to Teacher Yang who was still in the New World, I should be much happier.
Yu Liandao: "I can approve it, but there must be two requirements. First, please make sure to protect yourself as the first priority. Second, can you tell me your attack plan?"
There is no problem in attacking. But how to attack, how to retreat, what kind of results are prepared to achieve, and when to retreat are the problems.
What surprised Yu Lian was that Brigadier General Bazin once again showed a trace of obvious hesitation.
After a while, he hesitated and said: "Xiaoguan does have an immature idea... The year before last, you demolished the Kerna Fortress built by the Empire in the Far Coast Nebula, right?"
This topic has changed quite smoothly. Is it some sort of forward motion? Yu Lian thought.
This time, he did not use any official rhetoric and said directly: "It was demolished by the Thirteenth Fleet, and I was just passing by to help. Of course, this decision-making aspect should still play a decisive role."
Anyway, a full-scale war with the empire has begun, so it would be too boring to pretend to be confused at this time.
Of course, to this day, Yu Lian still firmly believes that with such a brilliant record, everyone's achievements should be publicized more and his own existence should be downplayed.
"That Kerna City should be the outpost that the empire is preparing to attack us. If we don't dismantle it in advance, there might already be a large-scale high-speed warship wreaking havoc in the entire far coast nebula. Those of us in
The defenders of Saide will also be reduced to a lone army without backup and supplies." Yu Liandao.
In another timeline, the defense line of the Far Coast Nebula was broken through in this way, which also made Marquis Odegaard famous.
What, Marquis Odegaard has died? That’s no problem.
Then, I heard Brigadier General Bazin say: "The ancient holy kings of the home star era were very particular about going with the enemy, and I can also go. You have said this in front of the soldiers of the three armies more than once. Therefore, I think,
We can also use the Far Coast Nebula to pass through these impenetrable areas and fight to the mainland of the empire."
This was indeed what Yu Lian expected. He just knew that people like Brigadier General Bazin were particularly vital, but he didn't expect that the vitality would reach this point.
Probably because Yu Lian's eyes were too bright, there was also a hint of shyness in General Bazan's smile.
"...Actually, this idea is not Xiaguan's, but the idea of Xiaguan's chief combat staff and flagship security officer, Major Deng Zhengqing. He is also your classmate."
Well, if it's this guy, it's not surprising.
Among the future famous generals in the 830th class, Deng Zhengqing's personality is not very distinctive. He looks like a very traditional Confucian benevolent gentleman. He does hold himself to the standards of a Confucian general who is both civil and military.
But in fact, Yu Lian knew that in a sense, this man who looked modest and elegant was the bravest and most radical person in the 830th class, just like the one hiding under the mountains.
Like lava.
In another timeline, his last battle was when he drove a battle cruiser that was out of ammunition and food, and crashed into an Imperial Titan, seriously injuring him.
Yu Lian felt that he still needed to make sure that his friend was completely calm when formulating this battle plan.
"Currently, we only have the star map from Lumina to Kerna, and in many cases, these channels are cyclical."
Brigadier General Bazin nodded: "However, after the Battle of Kerna, we are trying to collect other channels. There have always been smuggling channels in the Far Coast Nebula, as you know."
"The smuggling channel cannot be used by large ships... Oh, yes, you only have a cruiser and a light carrier in your hands now." Yu Lian suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
After his own formation arrangements, the fleet currently under Commodore Bazin is indeed very similar to Marquis Odegaard's raiding fleet in another timeline.
"That guy must have been planning this for a long time." Yu Lian couldn't help but feel happy.
You know, Deng Zhengqing is his classmate, and he is also a member of the youth club. During this period, these old classmates took the time to have a meal together, and raised a glass to say that everyone in the New World must be safe.
Of course, he had countless opportunities to directly present tactical ideas in front of him. However, as a humble gentleman and a Confucian general, how could he go through the back door and make leapfrog reports?
Yu Lian fell into hesitation.
Even if Brigadier General Bazin and Deng Zhengqing have indeed mastered a usable waterway, it will still be much more dangerous than the Marquis of Odegaard in another timeline.
What they had to face was an empire that was starting its first round of military mobilization, and what the latter had to deal with was a community that had been stripped of its tiger skin and was fighting a civil war. They traveled through the Far Coast Nebula, without any backup or supplies along the way, but
The latter has a city of Kerna.
The warships in the hands of Commodore Bazin vary in quality, and the four best-performing Xiaguangs are just imitations of the Clear Sky class.
Marquis Odegar's attack fleet was composed of 30 Clear Sky-class ships.
However, regarding such a problem, Brigadier General Bazin said seriously that the gap in strength between the two sides is too big anyway. So, whether it is mobile defense or expanding the warning net, it means dancing on the edge of a knife. In this case, why not find ways to pursue
What about the suddenness? In a sense, this is also the so-called "either don't do it or never do it".
