The first bloodshed in 834 came later than before.
This happened on April 1, 834 in the Common Calendar. Anyway, there is no April Fool's Day in this universe. Of course, the majestic Holy Galactic Empire would not think that it would be unseemly to launch a full-scale attack on such a day.
or something.
However, until now, the Galactic Empire's project on Seder Fortress is far from being completed. The giant fortress, which can be compared to the Sky Castle, has only completed the construction and closing of the first layer of the skeleton.
It looks like a huge cross floating in the universe. It looks quite majestic, but it is very thin.
Under this situation, the senior officials of Saide Fortress, including Yu Lian, all felt that if nothing unexpected happened, the enemy would launch a full-scale attack on us, probably after June.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the imperial fleet will take the initiative to initiate provocation. This possibility will become more and more likely when the opponent's third Titan ship arrives on the battlefield, more and more troops are gathered, and the farming begins to show results.
.In addition, considering that the newly arrived new Titan ship, which is said to be called "Xiaolong", fired a salvo at him as a greeting as soon as it arrived, Yu Lian even thought that the director of this ship must be
A master who is not mentally stable.
It later turned out that the owner of this Titan was the new generation of Solei King Yount, who had just turned twenty this year.
That is sufficient as proof.
"It is understandable that many people have not even passed the second stage of middle school when they reach the age of thirty. It is normal for youth to rebel at the age of twenty." Yu Liandao: "However, there is such a high-ranking adolescent on the front line.
We should also adjust our defenses."
"You mean, the empire will launch an attack in advance?" Admiral Sylvester asked.
"No, what I mean is that the Galaxy Empire may make some tentative attacks in advance. This is of course for testing, but also to mobilize us. Of course, the most active one should be the Xiaolong." Yu Liandao.
"Oh, because his commander is not mentally stable?" Admiral Sylvester suddenly became interested.
"...Well, actually what I want to say is that this type of Titan has a long nose and is designed for fortress attack. When I first arrived, I went from the Generalissimo's Palace to the Wisdom Palace to the Tiangongyuan and finally
When I go to the Hand of Glory Shipyard, I really want to see the effectiveness of this Titan."
Xiaolong class, who knows this kind of Titan better than me? The so-called dreadnoughts disguised as fortress guns, many people even think that this thing is clearly a by-product of some kind of front-end technology of the Colossus. A kind of
An extreme design with very obvious advantages and disadvantages.
Of course, to say that this thing is a thin-skinned and large-stuffed target in the arsenal is not a big deal. As long as there are enough escort fleets around it, it will be very effective as a battleship for decisive battles and fortification.
"So that's why they sent a high-ranking adolescent?"
"Senior, you are becoming more and more understanding of this empire..."
Although they say this, Yu Lian and Sylvester both know that even a high-ranking adolescent has received a complete education in military command and imperial studies. After all, he must be elected emperor in any civilized context. To be considered a genius, one must be a very capable adolescent.
So, on the morning of April 1st, when Yu Lian had just finished breakfast and learned that the Xiaolong was heading towards him, he even had time to calmly draw an ebony scepter.
"It's a quarter past eight, standard time. He specifically chose to launch an attack at this time. He didn't really want to wait for everyone to finish breakfast, right? He was really a vassal king who kept martial ethics!" Yu Lianqi said.
"King Soleyn has been famous for his bravery and martial arts in the past, and he should be able to pay attention to martial ethics." Feifei smiled and said: "It's just that this time it's not Xiaolong, there are nearly 300 warships, including It acquired two Wind King-class aircraft carriers and eighteen Steel-Arm Lux-class aircraft carriers.”
Needless to say, the Wind King class is an enlarged and advanced version of the Unicorn class aircraft carrier. The flagship of my old friend Baron Nelhana Mera is the first ship of the Wind King class. As for the latter steel-armed Hercules class, To say it is an aircraft carrier, it is better to say it is a mothership for assault landing craft.
"Oh, so this means we are going to launch a gang-hopping attack? Sure enough, in addition to the Marine cannon fodder, we will also drive away the Imperial Alliance Army, right?"
Feifei nodded: "The escort fleet is indeed mostly auxiliary fleets from various countries."
"It's so pitiful. Being an imperial ally for the empire is quite hard. Look at the Bakvi people. They have been fighting for so long and haven't even gotten any loot. Half of the country has been burned to the ground."
"That's what you did." Feifei said.
"There are also Cathay people. There are wars all over the country. Even the capital has been destroyed..."
"That was done by Marshal Bonaparte, but the main preliminary actions were also done by you." Feifei said: "So, can such an attack scale be regarded as an exploratory operation?"
Yu Lian did not answer directly, so he decided to go to the headquarters to have a look first.
When he completely arrived at the battlefield, he naturally saw Commander Sylvester, who had arrived early. The old senior had already ordered the soldiers in the various fortresses of the headquarters to wear armor.
"Don't worry, the Marines have three sets of mechas per person, and the average station personnel have two anti-German suits and power skeletons. They are all ready." Admiral Sylvester added.
Again, based on this war preparation work, senior seniors should become chairman of the National Defense Committee. Of course, this is also the premise for the entire war zone and even the mainland to fully supply Seder.
Of course, Yu Lian still felt that the old senior's order to the entire army was a bit hasty. Of course, Yu Lian was not prepared to object. He was a professional under a republican government with upright values. Soldiers are not feudal warlords who seize power. They still attach great importance to maintaining the authority of their superiors. More importantly, it is not a bad thing to have everyone in a state of combat readiness at any time.
"So, brother, is this really a tentative attack?" Senior Sylvester asked.
Hello, sir, how come the questions you ask are similar to those of a little girl?
Feifei was already looking at the starry sky on the other side of the porthole, probably preparing to see the direction the enemy was coming from with her naked eyes.
"If the Shikigami and Thor didn't move, it would definitely not be a general attack. In fact, there are only three Titans piled up in front of us. I think it's too disrespectful. If it were me, I wouldn't pile up six Titans in front of Saide.
With the above-mentioned super ships and 70% of the fortresses completed, how can they be foolproof?"
Admiral Sylvester was not sure for a moment whether Yu Lian was flaunting himself, and then said: "Over on Earth, Marshal Paris has also received the news. He also hopes that we can determine as soon as possible whether the enemy is
If we launch a general offensive in advance, will the front line be able to withstand greater pressure?"
How could an old marshal who is almost a hundred years old ask the same questions as a little girl? However, the old man is really well-informed. Of course, the problem will only be serious if the military commander is not well-informed.
Admiral Sylvester added: "What he means is that the local fleet has actually formed a certain combat effectiveness and is now ready for dispatch. If we need it, we can add it to Saide. In addition, Marr
The S. Cook is also undergoing re-combat readiness."
The old man did his job well. However, this should be largely attributed to Marshal Ferragu.
"I'm afraid it won't be until June when the local fleet actually arrives in Said. Let's stick to the original plan." Yu Lian smiled: "So, it turns out that my battle plan was rejected, right?"
Obviously, Admiral Sylvester is also a well-informed person, and he sighed regretfully: "According to the original plan, the local fleet will be dispatched and deployed to Lone Star on standby. I don't know if it will happen if something really happens.
Can't make it in time."
He quickly said: "Also, it's not your plan, it's the General Staff's! Brother Yu Lian, you are the commander of the outer ring theater, so stop thinking about the mainland and New Atlantis.
, If you think too much, you will commit a taboo! Now on Earth, as many people as there worship you, there are as many congressmen who hate you to the core.”
Yu Lian bets that those congressmen who hate him may have never even seen his face.
"...But, is your 'how much' the same type of number?"
"You are so smart, you just need to understand the spirit." Sher West waved his hand angrily, and then lowered his voice and said: "Your attention must be on the front line, which is within your scope of authority. Also,
, Chief Paris means, whether it is a feint attack or a forced attack, if you don’t say anything, he will have reason to convince the National Defense Committee to send over the two main ships of Nantianmen."
Yu Lian realized that what the other party said about "persuading the National Defense Committee" was something that had never appeared before. He had always thought that the old marshal and the old principal Maxer had always cooperated closely.
Well, this shouldn't be an illusion, right?
In fact, letting the two main warships stay in Gibraltar and directly hand them over to Marshal Bonaparte for unified command can strengthen the defense line of Nantianmen, which is also a stable and cautious way of handling it.
Although Yu Lian wanted to say this, after careful calculation, he could not help but feel that as long as there were one or two more battleships on the front line, he would have more room to dodge and maneuver in the subsequent possible war.
Damn it, the feeling of being poor without any wealth is so miserable. Isn’t this just having all the corn in your hands?
A certain "co-ruling emperor" who once ruled half of the galaxy and was able to command twenty Titans and fifty and fearlessly spend money, now feels all kinds of awkwardness, sourness, and difficulty in transitioning from extravagance to frugality.
Fortunately, he doesn't seem to have to face this choice now. A new report came from the forward post, and the Xiaolong once again launched an ultra-long-range bombardment at the main event where everyone was.
However, from the looks of it, this bombardment should be just like the last time, it was just a threatening bombardment.
Subsequent developments can prove that this bombardment was more like a signal flare. After the scarlet beam flashed, tens of thousands of sublight-speed long-distance missiles rushed toward the main fortress like a swarm of menacing wasps.
Of course, even the most advanced sublight speed missiles will need at least an hour of flight time to hit the target at this distance. And in the process, they will encounter interception from various automatic turrets, even if they are equipped with
It is an anti-matter warhead, and it is almost impossible to threaten the fortress itself.
However, such a dense swarm of missiles, pressing over like a dark cloud over a city, does appear to be very intimidating.
As a result, various sirens and prompts resounded throughout the headquarters, and the atmosphere at the scene was suddenly filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"After waiting for half a year, it's finally here." Feifei said in a calm voice, as if she was talking about the opening of an epic blockbuster produced by A.
"Come when you're here. This sense of ritual will only make life more pretentious." Yu Lian said with a straight face.
