Probably because of his own personality, when Colonel Yang Xiyi said these words with a straight face and a very serious, even solemn expression, no one took him seriously. A few young officers even laughed.
.
"Colonel, this is a joke, uh..." Lapash suppressed laughter and commented seriously: "Although I know that you are the cold-faced comedian of our fleet and the number one joke master, this kind of thing is not a joke.
.”
"Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff, taught you a lesson... But I am really not joking this time! According to the estimates of our intelligence personnel, the enemy's Guards Fleet is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow, that is, before the evening of December 27, that is,
On the seventh day of the enemy's combined fleet exercise, we will join them. Major Horn himself will shut down the defense system of the Star Castle before 6 a.m. on December 28. If the officer's prediction is good, before that,
The enemy fleet will launch a surprise attack on us!"
Unknowingly, Yang Xiyi had already referred to the "Kaitai people" as the "enemy fleet", but no one seemed to have noticed this.
"He, why does he do this!...I mean, the defense center of Gibraltar Beta Star Port is directly under the jurisdiction of the Military Region Security Department. He has no authority to enter, and it is impossible to deal with so many people."
"...More than 30 commandos have been lurking in the Gibraltar star port. They all entered via the empire's scientific research ships or merchant ships. Our personnel have captured or killed all of them. Their identities have been confirmed, and they are indeed Kaitai.
The Kingdom’s special operations forces also admitted that they will cooperate with Major Horn’s actions in the early morning of December 28.”
Having said this, Yang Xiyi suddenly stopped his usual nonchalant attitude and said seriously: "Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy's war signal has been very obvious."
"It's still nonsense. The Catai people and their allies, the Bakvi Birdmen, have never stopped making various small moves. But now is the era of peaceful development, pioneering and enterprising, and the development of the new continent shared by the entire galaxy. They can't afford it.
The consequences of war!" Chief of Staff La Pash sneered.
Yu Lian noticed that everyone seemed to ignore the existence of the empire intentionally or unintentionally during the discussion, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"More importantly, we also conducted a drill on the Cathay fleet some time ago. Don't you also think that it is unlikely that the other side will launch a war?" A commodore also asked, probably also a member of the staff.
Bar.
General Paris said nothing, but his eyes on Colonel Yang were always warm.
"Yes. Until yesterday, I didn't think the Cathay people would do such a crazy thing. This is a dereliction of duty by a subordinate."
Co-author, you don’t know? Then why did you start such a big battle to scare Major Horn? Yu Lian rolled his eyes covertly.
"I had indeed suspected Major Horn early on, but I really didn't expect that the Cathay people would have such a crazy plan. It has been so many years since the Star Wars ended, and everyone is thinking about developing the Andromeda Galaxy to make a fortune. Like this
If one mistake is made in this plan, a full-scale war between the two countries may break out. This is something neither the Empire nor the Alliance wants to see... And just the day before yesterday, the Kaitai Ambassador to Earth reiterated the importance of peace at a press conference.
."
Yang Xiyi paused for a moment and then said: "If it weren't for Warrant Officer Yulian's reminder, I wouldn't have thought about it at all."
Yu Lian felt the surprised looks and whispers of the senior officers, so he straightened his chest and raised his head calmly to make himself look more awesome, even though he was already cursing in his heart.
"What did he say to you?" Admiral Paris suddenly said.
Yang Xiyi repeated Yu Lian's words last night, and then said: "The subordinate felt that Warrant Officer Yu Lian's words were very reasonable, so he agreed with him on a secret code to lure Major Horn to take action first. After returning, he quickly read the information about Kaitai.
The intelligence. As Warrant Officer Yu Lian said, the finances of the Kingdom of Kaitai are about to go bankrupt, and the various types of military supplies they have secretly purchased during this period, the amount we have detected alone has exceeded the
It’s common sense. If it’s not for the war, so what? So, the superior officer informed the Star Port Security Minister and Colonel Chaimen who were preparing in the Star Port’s special hangar overnight.”
This guy has such strong mobility and organizational skills! Everyone present, whether they like him or hate him, had to stand in awe of Yang Xiyi at this time.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy is ready for war! Even if it's not this time, it will be next time. They can't hold it back! Coupled with Major Horn's confession and actions, it is enough to prove this."
Admiral Paris was noncommittal, frowning and deep in thought.
"Commander... There is a proverb in our hometown that you can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief in a thousand days." Yang Xiyi said.
"...Your Excellency, if we take action first, we will not be able to escape the crime of provocation." Rapashe Chief of Staff whispered.
"Shah Rukh, they have already taken action at the star port!" Admiral Paris said expressionlessly.
"However, everything is just Major Horn's personal behavior. His confession does not constitute irrefutable evidence that the Cathay people are ready to take action. If we really want to bring a lawsuit to the Civilized Parliament, we will definitely suffer the loss. The earth will not support us.
maybe……"
Maybe they would push us out and take the blame. The chief of staff omitted this sentence, knowing that everyone would understand, so he continued: "In addition, although our fleet is assembled, it is only monitoring the opponent's exercises and has no combat plan.
.Moreover, the enemy's first and third fleets combined are more than 1.5 times our current strength. Coupled with the oncoming Guards Fleet, it would be extremely detrimental to us to start a war rashly! Therefore, let the entire fleet
Just ensure the alert status and prevent them from taking advantage of the loopholes."
"Now, the Second Mobile Fleet is coming for reinforcements... When they arrive, even if the opponent has a Cathay Guards Fleet, their strength will be the same." The Commodore also said just now.
"But they will be one day behind Cathay's Guards Fleet, won't they? Lars' lunar peacock can come over and help me, an old stubborn man, stand on the street. Isn't that the limit of his nose?
Can you expect him to work day and night?"
Well, Lieutenant General Lars, the commander of the Second Mobile Fleet, was also born on the Moon, and he had a grudge against Admiral Paris. It was said that he was slapped on the spot by the old general.
The only two lunar people present looked at each other, but they didn't feel the same embarrassment at all.
"But the day after tomorrow, after the enemy fleet arrives, their strength will be twice ours for at least 24 hours. What if they launch an attack at that time? You can't rule out this possibility, right? Shah Rukh."
Admiral Paris said again.
"...This, this, we just need to be prepared for defense. They shouldn't dare to take action rashly...right?"
"Shah Rukh, do you want me to hand over the fate of the millions of soldiers on more than a thousand battleships, the nearly tens of millions of soldiers and civilians in the Gibraltar Military District, and the Nantian Gate to others?"
The chief of staff was speechless for a moment.
Yang Xiyi took advantage of every opportunity and handed over a document: "This is the preliminary battle plan drawn up by the official. Of course, it is one of the preliminary plans that the Chief of Staff has led us all to formulate. I will make some small additions.
I was about to ask Your Excellency, Commander, to review it personally with you."
"Oh, really? Xin, thank you for your hard work." The Chief of Staff showed a constipated expression, but the other party was so impeccable that he didn't even have a chance to express doubts.
However, General Paris quickly scanned the electronic document and his expression became much better: "It's interesting! Thank you for your hard work, Shah Rukh. And Colonel Yang."
"Yes! This is the duty of my subordinates. The commander has given me the reward!" Lapash showed his pride reflexively and pretended to be self-effacing.
General Paris said again: "If we follow your plan, we will gain a huge advantage when the war begins! However, Colonel Yang, since the enemy is preparing to launch an attack, it is different from the past. Why do you think that they will
Leave us such a loophole?"
Yang Xiyi glanced at Yu Lian covertly and said seriously: "Because even their middle and low-level officers may not think of the real purpose of this time at this time, let alone us. The commander of the fleet opposite is Ruide
·Marshal Red Eyes, he is a scheming gambler, and he has been dealing with you for more than ten years, so he knows your character well! In this case, it’s better to use your plan!”
Yang Xiyi spoke in a confused manner, but General Paris seemed to understand it instantly.
"Indeed... Marshal Li said back then that I had lost some strength in my brain, and now that I have grown old, I have not made much progress, and I have become a rigid old stubborn." The admiral laughed, showing a nostalgic look.
Everyone was laughing awkwardly with the commander. They knew that the "Marshal Li" the old general mentioned must be the founding father of the community, Marshal Victory R. Lee. Here, only this old man who is nearly eighty years old can say this.
Once the conversation is over, no one else is even qualified to interrupt.
"Shah Rukh, you have trained a good subordinate." General Paris praised the chief of staff again and said in a deep voice: "This plan can be implemented!"
"It is the greatest honor for our staff members to be able to share your worries..." Lapash reacted conditionedly again, but then realized that something was wrong and quickly said: "But, Commander, even if there is a chance of winning, we still have to be cautious.
.You can’t turn yourself into an aggressor!”
Admiral Paris was silent again.
"Actually, there is a way." Yu Lian said coldly.
Everyone looked at the youngest person with the lowest military rank on the bridge, with different eyes. Yang Xiyi kept winking at Yu Lian, but the latter continued as if he hadn't seen him:
"The Kaitai people are a proud martial people. Charon Mane is arrogant and courageous! He always thinks that he is a traditional warrior who follows the honor of Kaitai martial arts. He is now leading the royal fleet, ha,
That is to say, more than a dozen Royal Cruise Ships have arrived, so this is our best opportunity!"
Yu Lian paused for a moment: "The so-called sense of honor that seems incomprehensible to us humans is normal for the Cathay people. You know, even now, they still have traditions such as trials by combat and king-selection competitions.
Well... So, just let them admit it themselves!"
Yang Xiyi was thoughtful, but the others were different. Some didn't know why, some found it ridiculous, and some sneered with disdain. Overall, the atmosphere was not friendly.
The chief of staff showed an angry expression. He probably felt that a mere student was not worthy of speaking here. He was about to reprimand him, but his immediate boss spoke with a straight face: "What's your name?"
?”
Yes, yes, that's it! Give this kid a good scolding, and let him learn the rules and make him doubt his life. Lieutenant General La Pash thought.
"Warrant Officer Yu Lian, Class of 830, Central Defense University, fourth-year student in the Department of Strategic Studies!" Tsk, I introduced you once yesterday. Do you suffer from Alzheimer's disease?
Many people then realized that this unruly young man turned out to be a "lunar man" and was born in the strategic research department of the "Admiral's Cradle". Their attitudes suddenly changed, and their exposed maliciousness quickly subsided. Some people looked at him appreciatively.
Although he was the one who looked sarcastic before; some people nodded in admiration, although it was he who shook his head and sneered before.
Anyway, the atmosphere is indeed much more relaxed and friendly.
It's so realistic, you guys!
"Where are your parents? Are they soldiers?" the old general asked again.
Yu Lian didn't know why, but he answered calmly: "Ah? My father, Yu Xiao, was a space engineer and passed away 10 years ago. My mother, Captain Liu Qiluo, served in the Third Strike Fleet of the Cantilever Fleet as a carrier-based aircraft pilot for 18 years.
Died in the previous 'New Paris' incident..."
"The orphan of the new Paris martyr! No wonder..."
A gentle smile seemed to flash across the admiral's face, but it faded away so quickly that many people thought it was an illusion.
He then slammed the table and said in a voice as hard as granite: "Staff staff, immediately start discussing the battle plan formulated by Colonel Yang Xiyi! If it is passed, we will prepare to implement it! Those big bipedal cats have been here every day for more than ten years.
Dangling in front of labor and management, I have long wanted to peel off their skins and make mats! Destroying the enemy outside the country is in line with the glorious tradition of mankind! I will bear any consequences!"
Chief of Staff La Pash's face seemed to have paled a lot, and he whispered: "But, Your Excellency, we should notify the Earth side of this kind of thing first, right?"
"Okay...but we don't have the time now. Let's wait until the execution begins. I am the warden of the Outer Rim Military Region and the commander of the Outer Rim Fleet. I have the right of active self-defense granted by the Senate. Shah Rukh, you know, I have this
Permission!"
"But, but, it must be us..."
"Yes! You, Major General Donald, and Lieutenant General Cohen on the Blue Ark all have veto power. So, will you use this right?"
The chief of staff was caught in the fierce battle between heaven and man, thinking who didn't know that the chief of navigation, Major General Donald, and the deputy commander, Lieutenant General Cohen, are the best friends of this old guy like you, and they have always followed your lead. If you want to
To stop this crazy behavior, it is up to me, the courageous and wise Shahrukh Rapashe, to shoulder this important task!
He was just about to speak, but found that the commander had been looking at him, with no warmth in his eyes, just like the eyes of a lion looking at prey.
"Understood! Your Excellency, Commander, I will stand by your side! Until death!" Chief of Staff La Pash stood at attention and shouted loudly.
The corners of His Excellency the Commander's lips curled up slightly, which was probably a smile expressing his gratitude.
Mr. Chief of Staff was also laughing. At this time, besides smiling, he probably didn’t know what expression to make, right? Seeing that other people on the bridge seemed to be a little confused, he shouted again: "What are you doing standing still?"
Go to work! You won’t move until I tie you to a proton torpedo, right?”
This time, everyone started to move. The movements were very quick.
Yu Lian looked at the old general who fell silent again, as if he were a granite statue, and secretly clenched his fists.
