There was silence for several seconds. Major General Watt Rall still narrated in a calm tone: "He organized the second line of defense at the No. 4 headquarters in Area D, but the Imperial Army discovered the target and was attacked.
Targeted shelling and siege. When the members of the organization headquarters retreated and broke through, they were sniped by the enemy from a long distance. It should be the work of a psyker. This is what his guard company commander told me."
Probably because the chief of staff's tone was so calm, Long Yuan thought for a moment that he was hearing hallucinations. After a few seconds, when he confirmed what he heard, his mind went blank for a moment.
My thoughts have been filled with sadness.
He couldn't help but think of the time when he had just arrived at the Circle of Miracles and took up his post. Commander Saiyo patted him on the shoulder. His smile was full of hope and expectation, and even seemed a little honest. So, that face that looked rather like a gangster,
He suddenly seemed kind and kind, and it was easy for Long Yuan to think of Coach Haskins of his Tianjin team when he was in elementary school.
...If I hadn't discovered my spiritual talent and been accepted as a disciple by the Spiritual Research Society, I would have definitely become an excellent skyball player under the guidance of Coach Haskins.
As for Major General Mallowan, he seemed to have expected this bad news, so he just lowered his eyelids sadly and sighed faintly: "Really? Is Singer dead? He died while advancing, which is in line with his style."
Chief of Staff Lal nodded.
Major General Mallowan said: "But, after all, I still didn't have time to see the movie I participated in!"
Long Yuan felt his nose was a little sore. He still remembered that Commander Saiyo told everyone that "Cold Hill", which he starred in in particular, was the youngest Yage Mi in history to be the best director, but he had never seen it. This is surprising
How can he bear it? He must live to see "Cold Hill".
Major General Walter Rall smiled: "Actually, he has already seen it. It was the original film that I copied from the opposite empire last month when I was exchanging supplies with them. It is a very complete high-definition version, and even
There’s no shortage of tidbits.”
Mr. Chief of Staff is still exchanging supplies with the empire? Last month? It’s already been half a year since we started the war, right? Long Yuan said that since he arrived at the base here, he has encountered a lot of shocking situations.
This time was the one that shocked me the most.
Major General Lal probably saw the psyker's reaction, so he explained with a smile: "After all, I served as a military attache in the embassy in Tianyu. It's hard to say whether I have any merit, but I still made a lot of friends.
In fact, even among the Imperial Army, not everyone agrees with this war."
Major General Mallowan solemnly advised: "...You'd better not have any plans to rebel against them. No matter how preferential treatment the empire treats humans, anyone who causes trouble within its army will be punished as espionage. What's more, you have been
He is also the chief military attache stationed in the Sky Territory."
As we all know, every outstanding military attaché is a qualified spymaster. This is common sense in the diplomatic community.
"Yes, I have a criminal record." Chief of Staff Walter Rall showed a self-deprecating smile. His smile still maintained the dignity and elegance of a diplomat, but it seemed to have some determination:
"Azisha, I will order the entire army to stop resisting in an hour."
Major General Mallowan lowered his eyelids, and his slumped shoulders trembled for a moment, but he still said: "...Okay, enough blood has been left. There is no need to decorate a meaningless battle with priceless lives.
It is whitewashed into a tragic story, even if Commander Yang is here, he will give this order. Compared with the main force of the expedition fleet that perished, we are worthy of anyone."
"Yes, we are worthy of anyone...but the only one we are sorry for is you who continue to fight." Major General Watt Rall said in a low voice.
Major General Azisha Mallowan sneered: "Oh, are you expelling me from your 'rank' now? There is a point in saying such beautiful words. Who said I am an archaeologist?"
"There's no way. I've also watched "The Treasure Hunt" and the vitality of archaeologists is very tenacious, even more tenacious than a dreadnought."
"I thought they really expected me to discover the secret of this miraculous ring."
"If you can really explore it, it will be a surprise. If you find the mechanism that makes this miracle ring explode, how about pressing it?"
"...I didn't know that you, a diplomat, had such an unstable side!"
"It is precisely because I was born as a diplomat and have followed the same steps all my life that I occasionally want to go crazy."
The two of them laughed wildly at the same time across the communication terminal, until one of them was laughing so hard that he was about to shed tears, and then they slowly stopped. Then, Major General Watt Rall took the initiative to Long Yuan, who had been silent.
After giving a military salute, he quietly went offline.
For some reason, Long Yuan suddenly felt that it might be the last time he saw this kind and elegant chief of staff.
However, the two of them had no time to feel sad. Less than half a minute after the communication was completed, a bronze-skinned and stout colonel appeared at the door of the office.
Long Yuan recognized that this was Colonel Nani. Like himself, he was also a third-ring psyker. The difference was that he was more than ten years older than him and had served in the army for almost twenty years. He was a
An experienced professional soldier, he is also the first member of the Blue Guard.
Colonel Nani was also his uncle's "old subordinate". When he saw that he was there, he nodded and said hello, and then said: "Sir Mallowan, the car is ready."
"Where are the rest of the teams?"
"Team 2, Team 3 and Team 4 have already set off. Team 5 and Team 6 will leave twenty minutes after you leave. Team 7 and Team 8 led by Xiaguan are responsible for breaking up the rear. If everything goes well,
We can set off in the early morning."
"Very good. I'm really relieved that you're doing the job." Major General Mallowan paused and then said: "If the enemy comes too quickly, you can surrender at the critical moment. Don't forget, your wife is pregnant.
.”
Colonel Nani gave a thumbs up grin and smiled like a veteran, optimistic and knowing his fate: "Yes, yes, my wife is still in Xinyumen now. She is fifteen years younger than me, or
As a top student in medical school, I dare not expect such a woman to be a widow for me, but I have to survive well."
He said goodbye to Major General Mallowan and Colonel Yongyuan, left, and left the base with his men.
The latter did not stay longer and decisively met with his team. This was a team of more than 200 strong personnel, including explorers, pioneers, combatants, various technicians and doctors. Not so much
It is a combat guerrilla force, indeed more like a capable pioneering team and archaeological team.
When entering the passage at the back entrance of the base, Major General Mallowan said to everyone: "Finally, I want to ask everyone, our days in the future will be much more difficult than in prisoner of war camps or even slave labor camps. If you want to regret it now, it is still too late.
of."
No one spoke. The people present were all volunteers, and they were all carefully selected from an army of 100,000. They were the best in terms of technology, physical strength and will.
"Very good. If you want to quit again, I will treat him as a traitor. Please be mentally prepared. Whether you are on the road to glory or falling into the abyss, I hope that everyone will not fall behind."
After arriving at midnight on November 28, 833 Common Calendar, Chief of Staff Walter Rall's ceasefire order was finally issued to the entire army. In the official military report, this "land battle" that took place inside the Ring of Miracles was announced.
Finish.
Of course, even after this, a small number of combat units in the community continued to resist, preparing to fight to the death. Therefore, the battle in this valley lasted until six o'clock in the morning, and finally came to an end.
This was also the largest land battle that took place between the two sides after the battlefield began.
After more than forty-eight hours of fierce fighting, the Empire finally began to announce to the universe that they had taken control of the Circle of Miracles and the greatest creation of the Enlightened One in history.
However, there was no joy on the face of General Orosa, who was the commander of the entire army: "Don't get carried away, we have just eliminated the main force of the earth on the Ring of Miracles. We have concentrated six times the enemy's force. We have concentrated
More powerful artillery, tanks and more advanced robots, as well as more astral knights, but the number of casualties still exceeds 50,000. Is this a victory? Gentlemen, is this any military exploit worth bragging about?"
Senior officers from all walks of life were scolded so hard that they couldn't even raise their heads. Some people actually felt that half of the 50,000 people killed in the battle were from the "Imperial Alliance Army", and there were also a considerable number of cannon fodder slaves and dead soldiers.
The number of armored grenadiers and stormtroopers that truly belong to the Central Forbidden Army system is only about 10,000.
As we all know, cannon fodder and the Imperial Army are not considered human beings. From this perspective, isn’t the exchange ratio very nice?
Of course, even if they thought so in their hearts, they also knew that once they said this out loud, they might be shot on the spot by General Orosa.
Admiral Orosha said: "Also, is there any trace of the commander of the Community Blue Guard, Major General Azisha Mallowan?"
"Not yet... we still can't be sure of her traces, or even whether she is still alive. After we broke through the enemy's mountain pass defense line, we conducted more than ten rounds of bombings on all possible places where the enemy's headquarters might be. Maybe she
Already killed by artillery fire." As soon as the adjutant finished reporting this, he felt that his words were really stupid.
Major General Azisha Mallowan is not known for her bravery, but she is a fifth-ring psyker after all.
A staff officer carefully considered his tone and reported: "Officer Hoshimi is doing some calculations."
"No need to calculate, I am also a psyker. I know what this kind of high-level psyker should be like after death. Even if she is blown to pieces, she will definitely have a reaction of losing control of her psionic energy, and she will definitely
Leave the zero element behind." General Orosa said angrily: "I can be sure that the community's army still has guerrillas that have been broken into pieces to resist, and she must still be the leader."
"There is also the disciple from the Spirit Research Society, whose nickname is 'Long Yuan'." said the chief of staff.
"Oh, the one with a typical Tirero face?" Admiral Orosa asked curiously.
Among the masters of the Earthlings on the opposite side is a Tiruiro. This is of course no secret among the senior officials of the Imperial Army.
"Yes, his real name is actually Rhion Margrethe."
"One of the branches of the Magathon family?"
This is one of the few ducal families in the Galactic Empire that continues to this day.
The chief of staff nodded: "In the era when the empire dominated the earth, the youngest son of the contemporary Duke Magathon went to the Earth Governor's Mansion to serve as the secretary-general, and the Magres family came into existence. During Victoria Lee's rebellion, they
He joined the rebel side and then stayed on Earth."
What a high-spirited noble boy! Admiral Orosha actually wanted to laugh a little. He was also an ordinary citizen who came up through military service, and he still had a bad taste in seeing the appearance of big nobles.
"What did Duke Magathon say? What did the Heraldry Academy say?" Admiral Orosa asked with great interest.
"Of course it means that personal behavior does not represent value. Moreover, as early as fifty years ago, they had already expelled the Margrethe family from the genealogy."
"Well, this is indeed the behavior of a thousand-year-old famous family. However, this is not the point. The point is that a Tirero left on the earth, born on the earth, and grew up on the earth, is not a compatriot, but an earthling.
He is still a disciple of the Spiritual Research Society, so he must not be underestimated and must hit hard! He, and Major General Azisha Mallowan, everyone, when will I hear that they have been killed or arrested?
News?" General Orosa said.
The generals all felt under great pressure. They all knew that General Orosha wanted to force them to issue a military order. However, the senior officers present had no such idea.
Just when the low air pressure at the scene had gradually solidified into a mountain that made people unable to breathe, what really came to everyone's rescue was a call from the Vulcan Airan.
Marshal Farrell, who has always been known for his harshness and coldness, who did not even blink when he shot the general, actually showed amazing kindness and generosity this time.
He called to say that he had held a banquet on the Vulcan Ai Ran to celebrate everyone's success.
The generals all said long live Marshal Farrell. As a result, it would be difficult for General Orosha to continue to play bad guy.
Later, Marshal Farrell also consoled himself alone: "The casualty rate is something that needs to be considered during the battle. Now that the battle is over and we have achieved the expected strategic goals, it can be regarded as a victory, so why can't we celebrate? What? Old man, you still have to let yourself go."
Of course, this is equivalent to letting his subordinates go. These senior officers of the stormtroopers and armored grenadiers have indeed done their best in the previous battles. What's more, many of them have endured a lot of damage. What about the Imperial Alliance Army system that suffered casualties?
Even if they are as strict as the Imperial Army, they still have to be relaxed and relaxed.
Admiral Orosha certainly understood what the marshal meant, and of course he agreed with the marshal's views. However, he could not let go. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Excellency, after all, I am a perfectionist with a mysophobia."
"You can directly say that you have obsessive-compulsive disorder, but it actually means the same thing. It is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net in the army of one hundred thousand. The key lies in whether they can cause structural and subversive effects on our subsequent stability. Even a strategic strike." Marshal Farrell said.
"According to the confessions of prisoners of war, the number of Earth guerrillas who broke out should be more than 2,000. They are all elites and were divided into eight groups to break out separately. The strength of these people may not pose a fundamental threat to us, but because of this , I feel that I cannot let things go as they please. As long as they are still resisting, they will still be the totems of the people on earth."
"The unyielding totem can always exist, but the smart way is not to destroy it, but to make it invisible to everyone. However, this is what the Prime Minister's Office has to worry about, not what we should pay attention to. Orosa, Relax and go back to the ship to have a drink with me. After all, you have lived up to His Highness Brünnhilt's expectations. You should be ready to carry out your next step."
"I am ashamed..." General Orosha was indeed a little ashamed, but he was also extremely moved.
After fighting this battle, he can return to the Heavenly Realm and serve as one of the chief guards of the Imperial City. This is the promise made by his benefactor, King Brunhilt of Sulyuka.
"In addition, please invite the Earthling Major General Watt Rall. He also had some friendship with me when he served as the chief military attache at the Tianyu embassy. In my impression, he is an elegant and gentle gentleman. Should be treated decently."
"Understood. In addition, the body of Lieutenant General Singh Saijo has been collected and will be buried at the mouth of the valley according to the general's etiquette. We will also build a cemetery there to bury all those who died in this battle. Earthling warrior." Admiral Orosha nodded.
In this aspect, the Imperial Army is actually more particular than the Alliance. Of course, it is absolutely impossible for international public opinion to get a handle on it.
"One more thing... forget it."
Of course, Admiral Orosha saw the flash of uneasiness on Admiral Farrell's face, and asked directly: "Is it possible that there are new changes in Yaochi?"
