Chapter 1348 The tense outer ring war zone

Lieutenant General Goss continued to report the situation. He also told everyone in a very serious tone that except for the first fleet of the Imperial Guard, all the imperial fleets in the sky were empty.

"Wanwangguan is the largest military fortress on the border of the empire. They can follow the first cantilever road, pass through the capital of the Kingdom of Cathay, and reach the Nantianmen within a month. Of course, they can also pass through the border of the Principality of Angmans, and then

It will only take three weeks to pass through the Bakvi Republic and reach the border of the Far Shore Nebula at the earliest." The intelligence minister paused: "We are not yet sure who the commander of this fleet is, but as far as I know, Este

The marshal has also arrived."

Marshal Paris's expression was very serious: "We are old rivals during the War of Independence... Everyone, it is impossible to gather such a large number of troops for an exhibition. We will soon face more severe challenges. Please do your duty!

"

Chairman of the National Defense Committee Maxell also said: "We have received widespread support from the international community. The alliance has condemned the empire and is willing to provide us with military assistance and interest-free loans. The new army is being recruited and trained, and new warships are on the slipway.

On the market, weapons on the market will continue to be delivered to us. At the beginning, Marshal Li and his comrades faced far more difficult situations than us, but they were still able to lead everyone to victory one after another. Now

, everyone, as long as you hold on firmly, you will definitely find a way!"

Yu Lian trembled when he heard it, and quickly interrupted without regard for politeness: "If you hold on firmly, you will definitely win!"

"Yes, we will definitely win the final victory!" Chairman Maxer glanced at Yu Lian approvingly, pumped his fist and echoed loudly.

Obviously, the old chairman had been the president of the National Defense University for many years and had some expertise in injecting chicken blood. Anyway, the senior officers present were somewhat touched.

However, there is a saying that goes: The general meeting decides small matters, and the small meetings decide big things. As for today’s highest-level military meeting, after all, there are more than thirty people participating, and the decisions are actually made in various war zones.

Division, various new personnel appointments and dismissals, as well as logistical supplies and recruitment of new soldiers, as well as the distribution of newly made and purchased weapons, and other aspects of affairs.

One thing to say is that three veterans were able to transform the military's organizational structure from a peacetime to a war zone system in such a short period of time, which is already an extremely efficient performance.

The above things cannot be said to be unimportant, but after all, they are not as important as mobilizing troops and generals.

Yu Lian waited until the meeting was over and all his remote colleagues had gone offline. When only he and the two people from the outer ring war zone were left in the meeting room, he asked: "The battle report on the 25th said there was suspicion.

The Imperial Outpost Fleet has arrived at the front line. Has this news been confirmed?"

Admiral Joseph Bonaparte nodded solemnly: "In the reconnaissance on the 28th, in addition to identifying all 6 Corona-class ships of the Cathays and 3 Blazlar-class ships of the Bakvi people in the Bloodgate Galaxy, we also discovered

The empire has 4 Force Angel-class battlecruisers and 12 Xingyan-class arsenal ships. However, when the reconnaissance was conducted again this morning, the 4 Force Angels were gone, but the number of Xingyan-class arsenal ships had increased to

There are more than 20 ships, and there are at least 15 more Cloud Giant-class protective ships. This should be preparation for the attack on a large fortress."

The so-called Blood Gate Galaxy is the border fortress of the Cathay Kingdom, three jumps away from Gibraltar, where the South Gate is located. The several galaxies sandwiched between the two sides are the areas with the largest sovereignty disputes between the two countries.

The Battle of the West End System that brought Yu Lian to prominence in early 830 was of course also within the scope of this star field.

In the past half month, the Outer Rim Fleet relying on Gibraltar and the Three Kingdoms United Fleet relying on the Blood Gate have fought more than ten times in this starry sky, but no one's battle line has moved a step forward.

General Bonaparte did not like this feeling of fighting a stupid war. After all, the empire's national power was far greater than that of the community. What's more, they have not yet ended directly, dragging the community to exhaustion with only their lackeys.

This feeling is simply disappointing.

As for Lieutenant General William Sylvester on the far shore, he seemed even more distressed than the former: "The four star systems on the front line have fallen, and now we can only retreat to Sede and set up defenses. On the 12th, there were Imperial

The battlecruiser appeared in the Said system and bombarded our outposts and floating forts. The loss was not great, but it was still a heavy blow to the morale of the entire army. Moreover, because the star system on the border fell, the detection range was also being destroyed.

A little bit of compression.”

"Last week, didn't they say that a Barbarossa and two Yanlong-class ships were detected?" Yu Lian asked again.

"It's gone." Lieutenant General Sylvester hesitated for a moment: "However, the Commission said that the three dreadnoughts had left the far shore front line and were heading towards the Feimo Nebula along the Holy Emperor Channel.

Directional movement.”

"...Isn't it a ploy to suspect soldiers?"

"Lieutenant General Goss said that he would risk his life and fortune to guarantee that this was true information." General Bonaparte said that he had received it.

Yu Lian was only half-doubtful. After all, the trajectory of a giant ship like the dreadnought was easy to verify. Even if it could be concealed for a while, it would not last forever. There was no need to guarantee such a thing.

Unless Lieutenant General Goss is a spy, and he is also ready to die generously at any time.

From the looks of it, not everyone in the committee is a loser.

In comparison, the behavior of the Imperial Fleet is actually quite disturbing.

"Toward the Feimo Nebula? You can't possibly be planning to cross the high seas to intimidate the opposing alliance." Yu Lian said with a smile.

"This needs to be verified through the Alliance embassy, ​​which will take a certain amount of time. Moreover, I don't think the rubbish from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can verify any serious information." Admiral Bonaparte said.

Well, since the war started, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been reduced to a "pig in a dress" because it was completely unaware of the empire's war intentions. Obviously, when they signed the "Mugubai Agreement" before, they were still a group of "

A warrior on the battlefield of brains and eloquence."

"Because we are not completely sure, we have always regarded the three Dreadnoughts as frontal enemy forces. In addition, the two Ceremonial Knight-class battle cruisers that bombarded our space station on the 12th have appeared several times, but more

It was like holding the line for the Embu and Bakwe armies. He did not directly participate in the battle."

Having said this, he showed a rejoicing expression: "Now it is almost certain that this imperial fleet should be carried out in conjunction with the mutiny in the Sede Fortress. If the mutiny is really successful and the fortress becomes chaotic, my head will be removed.

Let’s go, they will definitely attack the fortress immediately.”

"It's precisely because they didn't succeed that they just demolished a few floating turrets. Is this actually to show that they didn't run in vain?" Yu Lian sneered.

Lieutenant General Sylvester spread his hands: "After all, you are here. Our reconnaissance department later discovered that in addition to the two battle cruisers, there were also two assault carriers that passed through the gravity wellhead.

It is estimated that a whole division of armored grenadiers can be installed. In addition, in the Count I 12 system, the fleets of the Bakvi and the Enbu people have also been assembled and can launch an offensive at any time. This is really step by step and no leaks!

"

This is probably the method used by the Empire to prepare for the breakthrough of the Far Shore Nebula. First, it creates chaos within the Seder Fortress, and then the elite armored grenadiers land and wipe out the top brass of the Far Shore defense line.

Then, there should be a full-scale offensive by the main fleet of the Imperial Alliance Army.

It is indeed an attack plan with complete steps and a steady rhythm.

However, what is truly admirable is that even if this plan succeeds, the first batch of imperial commandos to land at Seder Fortress will definitely be the wave with the greatest casualties.

This is probably one of the reasons why the Tirero people were able to conquer half of the universe. During the war, even with a small number of imperial troops and a large-scale imperial alliance army, they would definitely hand over the battle with the highest technical content to themselves.

.Only the kind of idiots who have no room to maneuver and can only grind meat to fill the lines will let the Imperial Alliance Army be used as cannon fodder.

In this way, although the Tirero troops would suffer heavy casualties in some specific battles, from a macro-strategic perspective, the losses could be controlled within a very limited range.

At the same time, the image of the invincible heavenly soldiers will remain consistent.

This is much smarter than some Roman empires that tried their best to maintain the image of citizen legions as heavenly soldiers but did not dare to give up, and relied on barbarian mercenaries to fight tough battles.

Of course, it is indeed much more difficult. Yu Lian thought.

"If the Red Maple Gendarmerie had not been in the fortress at that time, and if Ms. Tai'a had not been there, the defense line on the far shore might have collapsed." Sylvester looked at Yu Lian with a grateful face, but his eyes were meaningful.

"In the final analysis, it's all coincidence. It can also be regarded as a blessing from the spirit of the universe. I just made some reminders. You know, we psykers actually all have schizophrenia and always have weird conjectures." Yu Lian was modest.

road.

"Then you are the benefactor of all the officers and soldiers of the Far Coast Fleet." Vice Admiral Sylvester said.

The general's tone was a bit exaggerated, but his mood was still very sincere, which made Yu Lian feel a little embarrassed.

"Have you found any trace of Gerrito Rivers since the fortress was restored?" he asked.

"We found his body in the robot passage in the D-66 area of ​​the fortress. However, it was completely unrecognizable and could not be identified. We could only compare it with DNA information to confirm that it was him. We informed the empire of this information, but

They don't agree and still insist that the real Herrito River has been detained by us or sent to the Alliance."

"As expected... In the final analysis, what the empire needs is the result of a war." Yu Lian frowned slightly.

"Are you doubting that Gerritto River?" Admiral Bonaparte keenly sensed a clue.

Yu Lian nodded: "I felt there was a problem from the beginning. It's such a coincidence that I'm going to freedom at this time."

"His younger brother, Peleliu Hewen, is the leader of the Inferno organization and was also your comrade during the Ares Festival."

"That's the problem. There are too many examples of brothers and even fathers and sons standing on different sides. Aren't there many such founding heroes during the War of Independence? However, is that Herrito really dead? I

I personally have some doubts." Yu Lian sighed.

The two generals looked at each other.

Yu Lian added: "Speaking of which, what kind of Red Maple Military Police Regiment are you talking about..."

"The predecessor is, of course, the Red Maple Factory Guard Team that escorted military supplies from Lumina. I won their consent and directly divided them into 6 brigades for the military police order, 6 in the Sede system.

They were stationed separately at the fortress."

Well, Rumina's beetles are energetic and strong, but due to their physical constitution, they are really not very good at operating battleships and forts. They are indeed a good choice to serve as military police.

All in all, due to indescribable reasons, the empire's surprise attack tactics failed. They did not hesitate to fight and quickly retreated. However, before retreating, the imperial warship also swaggered and knocked out the gravitational wave communication station deployed by the community near the gravity well.

and the reconnaissance space station, and then left with a swaying pace of disowning their relatives.

Even if you think about it on your knees, this is an obvious act of ridicule.

The officers of the Ninth Fleet under Vice Admiral Sylvester were already very aware of the enemy's tactics. However, the Twelfth Fleet, which came from the mainland for support, was successfully provoked.

This is a guard fleet that provides security on the routes around Terra and the Pangu sector. It is probably because it has had several very successful achievements in clearing pirates and repelling marauders in the past few years, and it is actually quite arrogant.

They ignored Lieutenant General Sylvester's dissuasion and led the fleet in pursuit.

Needless to say, the result was a disastrous defeat. There were more than thirty warships involved in the pursuit, but only eight scarred and exhausted remnants returned.

Vice Admiral Sylvester immediately ordered the execution of Commodore Rupert Bein, the admiral of the Twelfth Fleet, who disobeyed military orders.
