What Feifei said makes sense. No matter how much black technology or even forbidden power the Predators have mastered, their hard power is still far from that of giants like the Imperial Alliance.
In the previous life, the reason why looters invaded the hinterland of the Alliance was, on the one hand, because a new Great Khan was born, and according to tradition, they needed to grab a big one; on the other hand, there was a strategic imbalance between the Empire and the Alliance for a period of time.
, the empire began a full-scale offensive, and the strength within the alliance was relatively empty.
In addition, Yu Lian himself would never believe it if these predators had no py relationship with the empire.
However, the big killer weapon that caused the strategic imbalance between the two parties is about to begin its first cry in this universe. Compared with the appearance of this weapon, the thousands of warships and millions of people fighting against each other in the "Glory Mission" are just nothing.
It's just foreplay.
However, the parties involved in the exercise did not know it! Most of the soldiers from both sides who participated in the exercise only felt that this large-scale actual combat exercise, which was directly organized by the Privy Council and the Generalissimo's Office, was the only one who could obtain military honors in this peaceful era.
Opportunity.
Therefore, in the subsequent process, the imperial soldiers of the red and blue sides continued to show off to the whole universe the style of the strongest army in the galaxy. Of course, to this extent, everyone in Mingyang could see that, from Fa Rui
The advantage of the red side led by your admiral has been hard to shake.
However, even in this situation, the blue team still showed sufficient resilience and gritted its teeth to maintain its defense line. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are not fighting in a corner, but seem to be really waiting for the situation to happen.
The changes are as if there is really a divine soldier ambushing somewhere.
In fact, this is indeed the case. When the time came to mid-October, a fleet belonging to the red side finally penetrated behind the entire army's front. This was the red side commanded by Viscount Shameen and Major General Baiya.
The guerrilla fleet hit more than 60% of its extraordinary forces. Originally, after participating in suppressing the rebellion in the Sarna system, this fleet should have been able to withdraw from the exercise and take a good rest.
However, after a bloody battle, the morale and fighting spirit of the Astral Knights on the ship increased a lot. They were very touched by the kindness of the exercise director, but still rejected the proposal and decided to continue fighting.
Their fleet immediately disappeared among the stars and disappeared.
If there is only a small fleet of less than ten ships, in a real fleet battle, it will not even be able to reach the squadron that can be used as cannon fodder. However, if this squadron has more than a hundred equipped with the latest
The psyker of the Crest Machine, that's another story.
For Admiral Farrell, this was like a poisonous dagger hidden in his opponent's sleeve, which he had to guard against. So, he even allocated more than two hundred warships to form three groups.
Search and contain them from all directions, and we must completely eliminate this wave of astral knights.
However, after three weeks of continuous pursuit and interception, nothing was achieved. A large number of troops were used in vain, but the red generals on the front line were even more stretched with their troops.
Even so, the Astral Knights really escaped from the encirclement and began to attack the red side's supply line according to the original plan. Of course, they can't directly attack the Lion's Den Fortress now. After all, there are already defenses there. To attack hard is to risk death. However, if the majestic Star Knight really wants to treat himself as a pirate, then what he does must be a dimensionality reduction attack.
Over the next few days, they attacked three supply fleets in succession. Not only did the knights suffer no ship losses or heavy casualties, the scale even expanded.
The Astral Knights, who have always been known for their bravery and extraordinary sense of honor, actually started to work as pirates, which caused quite a controversy. Many members of the observation team even secretly found places to Celebrated. In their opinion, the Astral Knights have begun to fall, which of course is the beginning of the Empire's fall.
It is difficult for Yu Lian to understand the brain circuits of these people. The Star Knights have chosen more stable and flexible tactics. Isn't this a sign of sublimation?
Of course, the Astral Knights also tried to surprise the red side's main flagship, but Admiral Farrell saw through it in advance and deployed a pocket formation in advance. Unfortunately, the other side seemed to have guessed that the other side had seen through their plan, and only revealed As soon as they met, they turned around and fled in front of the enemy in front of the dragnet laid by the red square.
This small fleet and more than 100 astral knights can indeed be regarded as the biggest enemy of the red side during this period. At least, they did delay the general attack launched by the red side for nearly a week. This is the blue side's Este This is something that the fortress group deployed by the marshal in advance failed to accomplish.
But in this extra week, Marshal Este took advantage of the fact that he was the defender and had the resources and logistics bonus to organize three more lines of defense.
By this time, the exhausted red team had lost the ability to continue attacking. Similarly, the blue team, who was beaten so dizzy and could only watch the defense of the fortress, also had no energy to counterattack and regain the lost ground.
Everyone knows that when the war situation has developed to this point, the "Glory Mission" has also come to an end.
So, on October 19, 832 in the Common Calendar, which was the 50th day after the official start of the exercise, King Sulyuka Brunhilt officially announced that the Glory Mission military exercise was a complete success.
It was indeed very successful. A lot of new warships and various types of equipment were unveiled at this military exercise, which can be called a gluttonous feast for military fans. Similarly, the quality and fighting spirit of the Imperial Army were once again shocked. A handful of countries. The empire's allies and vassals, who mainly serve as cannon fodder and atmosphere team in military exercises, also expressed that the empire's father is the top, and it is too safe to hang out with the empire's father. As for the empire's soldiers, they also They all reaped their own merits.
In comparison, the little incident that happened in the Sarna galaxy was nothing more than an insignificant accident in a large-scale exercise.
In short, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. Both parties in the exercise began to make repairs on the spot, disbanded and returned to their original structures.
But at this time, the director's department did not announce the official end of the exercise. It was not until the next day that a notice from the exercise organizer was officially sent to each observation group. The notice stated that everyone was expected to go to Luyuan Star's outer space orbit.
The Extreme Frontier Military Region Headquarters is gathering. The empire has important things to announce to the entire universe. I hope everyone will not miss it.
Yu Lian knew in his heart that the real drama had finally come.
However, the other members of the community observation group were confused, and they all felt that these imperial devils just liked to play tricks on themselves, so it must be a character issue, and sooner or later they would fall apart.
Afterwards, everyone began to speculate.
Some people say that the Empire may be restless and ready to declare war on the Alliance, but the Alliance Observation Group headed by Admiral Ackbar has been chatting and laughing with the Empire’s senior officials every day during this period. Moreover, the Empire is intensifying its military strength.
The opposite alliance is not idle either. Who would launch a war at this time? Of course, it is unlikely that it will attack any of the surrounding small countries. Isn't this equivalent to starting a war with the alliance?
A more reliable statement is that the all-out war between the Cirke Kingdom and the Khaiyar Principality has been going on for nearly a year. This is the most brutal war since the Seventh Galactic War, and has created hundreds of millions of refugees.
Neighboring countries have caused considerable burdens. As one of the two major overlords of the galaxy, the Empire may feel that it is time to stand up as a savior and completely solve this problem. Of course, the premise is that he has negotiated terms with the Alliance
.
Others believe that Emperor Elithel has been widowed for half a century - his seventh queen died of illness forty-five years ago. Although His Majesty the Emperor is of this age, he is still a psyker of the Nine Rings.
My life level has soared to another realm. Now I am still alive and kicking without any signs of pills. It is understandable that I will marry a wife who is two hundred years younger than me.
Don't tell me, there are actually quite a few people in the group who believe this.
This is because Major General Walter Rall, deputy head of the observation mission and chief military attache of the embassy, pointed out that His Majesty the Emperor is a die-hard fan of "Legend of the Space Heroes". Among the most classic movies it adapted, "Mesozoic Era" was released five years ago.
"Trilogy", His Majesty the Emperor was also full of praise for it. The trilogy of movies was co-produced by the Empire, the Alliance and the Community. The heroine, Dame Zelona Mephimicha, is a talented beautiful girl actress of the Empire.
Thanks to this role, he won the Yagomi Award and a knighthood. It is said... It is really just a rumor! His Majesty the Emperor still pastes her posters in his palace.
After all, Major General Lal is engaged in intelligence work, and everyone still agrees with what he said.
Admiral Maxell informed the country on the spot, asking the big shots on Earth to prepare congratulatory gifts. Anyway, congratulatory gifts can be wasted, but if they are not prepared, it may cause a diplomatic accident. After all, this is the entire galaxy.
The most powerful man is getting married.
This may also be the emperor's manipulation after the wedding, forcibly collecting money from princes and other countries to enrich the royal family. Anyway, this kind of thing has happened in history. More than 500 years ago, there was an emperor who married for the rest of his life.
Married twenty times, and then successfully renovated the Infinity Palace without spending a penny from the national budget.
Of course, it must be noted that the reason why Admiral Maxell and the big guys in the country believed it was not because of their IQ, but because their position determined their actions. Anyway, believing in it will not kill anyone.
, at best, it’s just a waste of people’s tax money.
However, this opinion was actually put forward by Major General Lal, which surprised Yu Lian. Is this the same outstanding intelligence front officer who is capable, calm and deliberate but also well versed in the art of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
"Even if I don't say that, the special diplomatic funds allocated by Congress every year are still so large." Major General Watt Rall shrugged and secretly explained to Yu Lian: "As long as it is really spent, it will always be
It will be somewhat helpful for diplomacy. Moreover, I can also take the opportunity to confirm some things..."
Yu Lian looked at the other party suspiciously, lowered his voice and asked, "Are you taking the opportunity to confirm the attitude of Admiral Maxell and other big shots in the country?"
Major General Lal glanced at Yu Lian and said nothing, just leaving a tacit smile.
In addition to the most unreliable opinions put forward by Walter Rall, there are actually some truly reliable opinions. Colonel Silva, an "old senior" of the Yu Company and an equipment expert, suggested that perhaps
What new weapons, for example, a new type of dreadnought or even a Titan ship or something like that.
Yu Lian felt that this was the closest to the truth, and he thought highly of the "old senior". However, the latter probably didn't expect that this new type of weapon would be so new.
On the morning of October 20, Yu Lian took Feifei and accompanied the observation group in a very organized and disciplined manner. They took the transportation provided by the empire and left the surface of the Luyuan planet and arrived in space in low-Earth orbit.
stand on.
This is a medium-sized space building, mainly responsible for the transportation center of Luyuan Star and surrounding galaxies. The military district headquarters responsible for the defense of the Jijiang Star Region against the Galactic Center is also located here. However, we all know that the large number of Jijiang garrison
Part of the main fleet and the command staff actually stay at the Lion's Den Fortress all year round, and the command post here is basically just a decoration.
Although it is just a decoration, it has complete functions and equipment, and the available space is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people living and working.
Now, the military observation team from 317 countries in the Galaxy, with a total number of more than 5,000 people, has all arrived before 10 a.m.. Also resisting are an equal number of reporters from various places.
The Imperial Royal Sky TV station even sent a broadcast ship that had hit the mass wave relay to a nearby low-Earth orbit, preparing to broadcast live to the entire universe.
It must be admitted that an empire is an empire, and only by fearing power can one be virtuous; apart from anything else, at least this sense of ceremony is really fresh. Before the main play begins, there is a solemn celebration ceremony. At the meeting,
Queen Brunhilt represented the will of Long Lin Palace and awarded Admiral Farrell the Imperial Crown Knight Medal of Valor. Although the words were not stated clearly, everyone understood that the exercise director and the emperor who watched the exercise were
Your Majesty, you have recognized that Admiral Farrell's red side is the winner.
However, as the "loser", Marshal Este showed no sign of disappointment at all. He calmly hung the medal on the chest of his opponent who was nearly forty years younger than him, and patted the back.
The person's shoulders.
"The future is yours." The old marshal smiled with a smile on his face, as if he had inherited all the honors of the Imperial Army.
Many people take it for granted that this young Admiral Farrell will definitely be the leader of the Imperial Army in the future. But Yu Lian knows that this master of fleet operations who creatively developed the "Sky Bow Tactics"
In fact, he was just an excessive figure. In another world line, his shining time was actually very short. The veterans who had just waited for the Seventh Galactic War gradually faded out of the stage of history, and the limelight was lost to younger people born after the war.
The stars were completely taken away.
And quite a few of these generals are already in that person's favor.
...Well, I hope Admiral Farrell can last longer in this timeline.
As if sensing Yu Lian's gaze, Queen Brunhilt, who was on the rostrum, turned her gaze in the direction of Yu Lian and revealed a smile comparable to a hundred flowers blooming.
Yu Lian buried his head, while Feifei beside him was already holding a thermos cup and started drinking tea.
Of course, the gurgling sound that made Yu Lian restless did not last long. After the celebration ceremony was completed, there was a press conference that was not nutritious. After an hour, the sharp-tongued reporters came to Brunnhill.
They tried their best at the press conference hosted by Te personally, but they didn't get even a little bit of reliable information. Whether it was about the changes in the Sarna galaxy or the process of the exercise, they didn't know any more than the people on the Internet.
.
Then there was a very luxurious luncheon, which was buffet in nature, but also social and diplomatic in nature. The entire space station hall was set up at the banquet, which could indeed accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Yu Lian took the opportunity to eat again and was just about to take a nap when a staff member informed everyone to enter.
...Okay, this is where the real drama begins.
However, at this time, Feifei magically took out her special press card, said hello to everyone in the observation group, and then joined the press group with interview equipment. The area where reporters and members of the military observation group were located was
The difference is that it is said to be more convenient for shooting live scenes and so on.
However, Yu Lian had just sat down in the third row of the observation group, and before he could say hello to General Maxell, Major General Lal and others in the first two rows, a captain in charge of reception from the Imperial Army squeezed over and stood in front of him.
He whispered in his ear: "Colonel Yu Lian? Excuse me, can you move?"
"Move?" Yu Lian glanced at the other person. He was a young officer about 24 or 25 years old. Although he was young, he was very calm and capable, and the diplomatic business smile on his face could not find any flaws.
Yu Lian vaguely felt that this person looked familiar, and guessed that it should be the famous future empire general from another timeline, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he said: "I didn't make the wrong position."
"You are not wrong. Even if you are in the wrong position, it must be a mistake in our work." The captain still had a humble and decent smile on his face: "It's just that His Highness King Suliuka has invited you to come over."
This guy didn't deliberately lower his voice, so not only General Maxell and his colleagues in the front row, but also people in the seats of the alliance next to them turned to look over.
For a moment, Yu Lian really felt a little uneasy.
He was extremely glad that Feifei was not here now.
