At this moment, everyone seemed to have returned to the student union era, where a tacit understanding could be reached with just a glance and a note. Everyone said peace to each other, and then the meeting ended.
Yu Lian sat there in silence for nearly a minute, then reached out and closed the remote communication terminal. He drank a glass of ice and regained some patience, and then began to review the documents - they were all supplies.
Daily affairs such as training, security, equipment maintenance, equipment replacement, etc.
If it were his previous self, he would have been very impatient with such routine matters. However, after years of ruling a large empire in his dreams, he had a different understanding of these tasks.
The truth about the structural operation of the people, the army, the country, society and even the entire world is actually hidden in the subtle data of these documents.
Of course, he would not be so meticulous that he would have to deal with the penalty of twenty military sticks in a row personally, but he must be aware of it.
The so-called knowing oneself and the enemy can lead to victory in every battle. This is of course a theory of wisdom that will never go out of style from the classical era to the future. Knowing the enemy has always been a very difficult subject, so let’s leave it aside. So, how can we ensure that “knowing yourself”
"What? Through handling daily affairs, it is actually the most cost-effective method.
In addition, psionic power has also given Yu Lian extraordinary concentration, reading and information recognition abilities, and he can handle affairs much faster than an experienced old bureaucrat.
As a result, even the most important cost of time suddenly seemed amiable.
He even turned on the TV to match the sound of advertisements and news, which would make him feel more comfortable while working. This was also Yu Lian's habit a long time ago. He really had to prepare to read some tomes or write some short essays.
, compared to a library filled with top academics, a teahouse and coffee shop with a human touch is more in line with my usual style.
There have been a lot of changes in the Alliance? Mr. Feanor Berenkeist is preparing to run for the Grand Commander?
At the time of the previous timeline, this person had only served as the chairman of the Jixiang Physics Association for one term in the Standard Shipping Association. It was also to do more for his omnipotent daughter. He had never entered the political arena?
The Alliance caretaker government once again called on both parties to sit down and negotiate? Hey, hey, why is the wording so subtle and weak?
The Iron Army Complex condemns the imperial aggression? The bones of the Pallai people are really hard! Although their physiological structure has no bones. You know, even the Cirke Kingdom, which was deceived by the empire and has not yet recovered, dare not
What you say is so clear.
As for the Earth side, what's the point of the weird murderer who assassinated the president? If you have the ability, find the real murderer, or just declare that it is an organization of the empire.
Speaking of which, it has been almost two weeks since President Nikita was assassinated, right? He hasn't shown up yet. This is not like his style!
Probably because he was worried about the status of his big brother Nishita, Yu Lian became more efficient in reviewing documents. When he really finished these daily tasks, he found that it was almost dinner time.
However, when he was about to take action, Lieutenant Colonel Chester Rozes knocked on the door and came in, saying that he had brought the latest intelligence.
"Is there an important report that needs to delay my delicious dinner? Davari Shirozeshi?"
"It's really worth your time. I hope you had afternoon tea during the meeting," Ross said.
Of course, this reliable friend is not someone who makes random jokes without aim. What he brings is the latest status of the Bazan fleet. It has been almost three months since they entered the far shore nebula.
Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief. He had actually been worried about the safety of the Bazin fleet for several weeks. There were never a few examples of small fleets being wiped out due to navigation accidents. Many warships even lost contact hundreds of years later.
Only then was the original wreckage discovered, which became the basis for various ghost ship legends in the universe.
"The message was sent automatically five days ago, that is, on December 20, by the set mass wave communication buoy." Luo Zeshi replied.
When using instant messaging in the enemy's homeland, the signal can easily be captured by vacuum detectors. Even if the signal cannot be analyzed, the sending location is locked, and then there is a high possibility of being surrounded and suppressed by enemy fleets coming from all directions.
However, using this kind of timing buoy can avoid this situation. Even if the signal is discovered, the enemy can only block a device that has completed its historical mission long ago, but the fleet itself has already moved.
"Where are they now?"
"Brigadier General Bazin reported that they are moving towards the empire's front star area." Rozeshi said while opening the star map: "If everything goes well, they should have entered the empire's mainland by now."
It should go smoothly. At least, our own intelligence department has not yet found out from the other side that they have annihilated any exchange fleet.
Yu Lian was more optimistic: "If it goes more smoothly, we might have burned down the manors of several noble lords. It would be best if we could free more slaves."
"The material treatment of slaves in the empire is actually not low. Even if the shackles of most slaves are knocked off, they will still return to their masters, or stay there in ignorance, waiting for the arrival of another master." Luo Zeshi said.
"You're welcome, Davari Shirozeshi. What's the majority? At least 95%, no discount!" Yu Lian said with a smile: "But as long as one percent of the liberated people decide to change their way of life.
, we have not worked in vain. And among the remaining one percent, even if only 10% are willing to persevere bravely despite hardships, they will be the seeds that grow towering trees, and the sparks that can start a prairie fire.
"
Before the empire's "Operation Alien Transformation" began, the Bazan battleship sailed directly into the far shore nebula with a squadron consisting of light carriers and heavy carriers.
The purpose of their battle is, of course, to do their best to burn the flames of war into the enemy's territory behind the nebula. It would be even better if they could directly invade the mainland of the empire.
You know, since the city of Kerna, which was built with countless manpower and material resources, was demolished, the empire has lost the intention of infiltrating through the far shore for a long time. In fact, the Blue Star Community only controls the far shore nebula.
A more complete star map and geographical advantages, which is why Yu Lian dared to approve Brigadier General Bazin to conduct this diplomatic-breaking operation.
But even so, Yu Lian also admitted that this move was really a bit of a gamble.
There is still a lot of gambling potential.
Once the break-up fleet led by Commodore Bazin is gone, we will lose not only more than 30 warships, more than 50,000 fearless officers and soldiers, a group of excellent commanders, and perhaps the spirit of the entire army.
You must know that when facing the overwhelming enemy's army, all combat power is precious. If you kill enough enemies and then die in battle, everyone can accept it for the time being. But if there are no results, then
It would be very demoralizing to die like dust in the abyss of the starry sky.
What's more, if the seeds of famous generals like Deng Zhengqing and Banner, who have proven themselves in the previous timeline, fall directly before they mature, this will actually be a blow to Yu Lian's own confidence.
Fortunately, according to the report sent five days ago, the situation of the Bazan fleet is still very smooth.
It took them two months to carefully pass through the Far Coast Nebula, and "only" lost four warships on the way. Then, they successfully entered the territory of the Grand Duchy of Laig. In the following month, they
The territory passed through the four empires has far exceeded the farthest place that Yu Lian reached in his original "Ten Battles and Ten Victories".
Of course, the results of the battle cannot be compared to Yu Lian's main fleet, but compared with the insignificant losses, it is already considered rich.
More importantly, the strategic significance of this move.
"This battle is at least half successful." Luo Zeshi said.
"If you can't break into the mainland of the empire and achieve the effect of 'the enemy can go, I can go too', then it will not be considered as a full success." Yu Lian is still not satisfied. He knows that his attitude may be a bit cold-blooded, but when it comes to himself
From the current position, as long as they start to use troops, I only hope that they can achieve greater results.
The so-called "kindness does not lead the army", the so-called "the rise and fall of the Spring and Autumn Period is all about not treating people as human beings", this is it. In the dream that just ended, he had made such a decision countless times.
Yu Lian pondered for a moment, then changed the topic: "How is the current situation regarding Sede?"
After a brief silence, Luo Zeshi said: "There is a call from Fortress Sede, the main force of the imperial fleet, there is no sign of any action."
His voice was a little low, with some distress and apology.
Yu Lian bared his teeth and said: "Even if we take the initiative to provoke, there is still no action?"
"There was no action at all." Rozeshi shook his head: "Captain Tovey even took the Fuxi out for a circle, but the enemy fleet still maintained their respective fronts and showed no action. We tried to use sub-light speed missiles to attack Liang.
Our recent U003 construction site was also intercepted by all enemy forces."
"...before they built the middle bone of the fortress, they laid out the sentry gun array in advance, right?" Seeing Luo Zeshi nodding, Yu Lian actually laughed out loud: "Hahaha, another steady move.
The Interstellar Ashes Holy Body!”
For a moment, Luo Zeshi didn't quite understand whether Yu Lian was praising or undermining the other party. He just continued to report in a business-like manner: "Chief Sylvester then ordered a cessation of all provocative actions."
"Old senior, you are right. Since the opponent is motionless, if we move again, we will be the ones who are impetuous. This kind of emotion will infect the soldiers." Yu Liandao.
"Chief Sylvester is also expanding the fortifications. Everything is going according to plan. The opposite empire has no intention of disturbing." Rozez put down the report: "Our staff analysis, at least within a month,
There will be no war in the Sede system or even the entire far shore front."
"Three months." Yu Lian looked at the picture on the screen. Several huge frames had gradually taken shape, like super-large takraw balls. That was the main bearing frame of the space city, which was equivalent to
The keel of the ship and the foundation of the ground building are always the first steps to be performed.
"Three months." He repeated again: "This is estimated based on the progress of the Imperial Army's projects. They will not take the initiative to launch an attack until the Empire completes the fortress, shipyard, energy array, and even hydroponic farms.
.This is my judgment.”
Rozeshi solemnly said: "I will immediately report it to the staff led by Major General Mkawa, and use this judgment as a basis to formulate a more proactive combat plan."
"For example?" Yu Lian was quite interested.
Luo Zeshi said: "Some staff members have put forward suggestions such as yelling, singing, dancing, and giving away women's clothes. Chief of Staff Mkawa feels that these are somewhat feasible, and is leading everyone to improve the details."
"It's better to invite a group of men and women from Xinshuntian to do strip dancing, and let them dance in a boat in front of the two armies, and use a projection to amplify it."
"I will consider it carefully."
"Don't think about it!"
"In addition, Master Tai'a...also known as Chief Bai, sent a request for an honorary duel to the opposite empire, saying that it was a five-person arena battle. She would serve as the leader of her side, and she would be divided into superiors and inferiors.
Life and death, etc. Whoever loses will have to retreat one astronomical unit."
"Where's the Empire?"
"Still no response. However, Admiral Misaro said that he could have a 1 vs. 5 game, but he just wanted to use force to make friends. He also said that the war between the two countries could not represent the blood connection of the same human beings, let alone sever the two countries.
Cultural and psychic exchanges between countries. If our competition can form a bridge of communication, it will be a great contribution that psychics have made to the world..." Luo Zeshi's expression was full of distress, as if he had seen something
A tap-dancing bear.
Yu Lian almost laughed out loud: "Okay, that's the style of my old friend. Although he looks like a strong man without hair, he actually has the appearance of a prime minister."
"The chief of staff thinks that we can come up with a set of songs that will increase the intensity of humiliation. We are currently recruiting songwriters from across the military."
Come on, probably because everyone has seen that this confrontation will last for a long time, and even a serious figure like Chief of Staff Mkawa has begun to become abstract!
"Thank you for your hard work." Yu Lian nodded listlessly, as if "you guys keep working hard, I'll try my best to provide friendly support."
But in fact, neither he, Luo Zeshi nor the staff had any expectations for the so-called "more proactive combat plan". However, the staff is like this. The commander only needs to choose a plan to execute.
Well, the staff department has a lot to consider.
They may work in vain, but they must never be unprepared.
Yu Lian apologized to Chief of Staff Mkawa, and then sighed in annoyance: "To be honest, I really didn't expect that Marshal Ikenroga, a veteran empire general who has been famous for a long time, would take such a step.
Passive tactics. Hey, he was obviously very aggressive when fighting in the past. I think that such generals, who are born with ashes, actually have the appearance of a generalissimo, but why do they appear on the front line and torture them?
What if others also torture themselves?”
"Like another Chief Sylvester?" Rozeshi asked curiously.
"Yes, he is like an enhanced version of senior Sylvester." Yu Lian nodded.
I didn't add this prefix. Luo Zeshi could only look at it sideways.
At this time, Yu Lian in front of him still had a calm expression and a steady aura. He had always been like this no matter in the Battle of the Grand Sea, in the Blood Gate, in Cuiling, and in the previous "Operation Alien Slaughter"
.Whether he was facing a superior enemy fleet or a terrifying abyss lord, he did not show any nervousness at all.
But now, Luo Zeshi could always feel that his classmate and superior showed a hint of anxiety for the first time.
"You said before that what you are most worried about is that the enemy will form a stronghold with you and fight the war?"
Yu Lian nodded: "And the more experienced a veteran is, the higher his level of fighting stupid battles. Unfortunately, Marshal Ikenluojia and General Rosanaio are both of this type."
"Chief Sylvester told the staff that our operational goal is to continuously bleed the empire and make their losses exceed possible gains until they are willing to negotiate peace."
"I completely agree. This is also the only chance of victory." Yu Liandao: "But such a thing may happen on the far shore. So, what about other places?"
"Sir..."
"What we have in front of us is the fleet of Marshal Ikenluojia. So, where has Marshal Estai's fleet gone from Wanwang Pass? Where are they going now? Nantianmen? Or somewhere else."
"The Kingdom of Kaitai has been razed to the ground. Half of the kingdom is fighting, and the other half has established its own country. It cannot maintain the advancement of the large fleet." Luo Zeshi frowned.
"These are common sense. But I just feel a chill down my spine." Yu Lian shook his head and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I have always been victorious, but now I have become a hopeless pessimist."
But Luo Zeshi shook his head and laughed: "No, you are still a positive optimist, but you are just sober in the world."
"Hey, Davari Shirozeshi, I haven't seen you for a while, and the way you speak is getting better and better? However, I know that for people like you, the reason why you speak so well must be a little bit...
Prerequisite factors." Yu Liandao.
The other party did not hide anything: "One of the tasks of our New China delegation this time is to see the actual combat test of new fighters, right?"
Yu Lian nodded.
"If the new fighter jets are approved, they will be deployed on the new Lexington 2 aircraft carrier sent from China?"
Yu Lian continued to nod: "This aircraft carrier was donated and built by major domestic entrepreneurs, so we planned to name it Enterprise, but I think it should be Enterprise, right?"
Luo Zeshi was not interested in the name of the ship, and just said: "So, can I apply to be the second officer of this aircraft carrier? I am also a technical officer, and I am very familiar with the new fighter planes equipped with light wings.
of."
"...I thought you would apply to be the factory for new fighter jets."
