Him and their stars

The Yulian fleet, which was moving like a stranger, seemed to not feel that anyone was chasing behind them at all, and sailed away from the Cuiling Galaxy in a formation full of flaws. They maintained this marching pattern and met with the rest of the fleet at the border of the Bakvi Republic, slowly entered the Lucknar Corridor and headed towards Seder Fortress.

Of course, just as Yu Lian had always expected, after being intimidated by him, the main force of the imperial fleet, which had "no real heroes", clearly controlled more than five times its own strength, and did not continue to pursue it.

At this time, it was already October 833, 10 in the Common Calendar.

Then, everyone finally confirmed that during the battle at Cuiling Fortress, a rather embarrassing and small-probability incident did occur on the Natural Crest.

"In other words, Admiral Hegobo was just shot?" When he received the news, Yu Lian was eating river crabs sent from New China with dried sweet potatoes, and he immediately felt that they were chewy. The crab meat is not very fragrant anymore.

"Yes, congratulations. Although you failed to set the record for the range of artillery strikes in the history of the galaxy, you can definitely set a new record for the results of artillery strikes." Such a calm child like Luo Zeshi could not hide his excitement now.

In fact, when he received the battle report, he confirmed it three times before deciding to report it.

"This is the second Imperial Space Fleet Admiral to die in your hands. Since the independence of the community, no...from the time when people on Earth entered the universe, no one has created such a glorious achievement. "

"You can't ignore Commander Yang of the New World. His achievements include electing emperors and marshals of the empire. I haven't heard that two generals can become a marshal."

This hell joke was too disrespectful to the big bosses of the Imperial Army, but everyone felt very happy and burst into laughter. Inside the bridge, a cheerful atmosphere suddenly filled the air.

Chief of Staff Mkawa also said: "In the Battle of Cuiling, you faced an enemy force that was five or six times your own, but you were able to move vertically and horizontally with ease and defeat the enemy. Thousands of enemy troops did not dare to advance even an inch. This was still a great victory. .Since we arrived at the far shore, it has been ten battles."

Having said that, who said that serious people can't say flattery? In other words, it is this kind of meticulous butler type uncle who makes people feel more comfortable when he speaks flattery.

Yu Lian was very moved to accept the other party's flattery, but he added: "I estimate that the other side of the earth will definitely regard this 'Ten Dang Ten Battles' as the best propaganda material."

"Yes, maybe because of this, we can exchange for 8 eight types of standard missiles from the alliance, and we can get a % discount on the final payment of the remaining eight God-class ships." Luo Zeshi said with a smile.

"So, is it possible?" Yu Lianda said.

"What you said is..."

"Fifty thousand Thor's standard sublight speed missiles, and a 20% discount on the main god level."

Rozez paused for a moment and tilted his head unnaturally: "Actually, based on the feedback from Colonel Silva, the ambassador is doing his best, but it will take time to continue to ferment before concrete results appear. Fortunately, , Judging from these speeches by His Excellency the President, the public opinion of the alliance supports us."

"Public opinion can be manipulated. But what about reality?"

"...Low-interest loan?" Luo Zeshi asked.

"The Alliance has been lending us money every year, even before the war."

"Arms assistance?" Chief of Staff Mkawa calculated.

"Yes, but it is not as big as imagined. It has not even reached the peak during the War of Independence. But the size of the Imperial Army we are facing now is more than four times that of the War of Independence."

The chief of staff pondered for a moment, then put on a smile: "Your victory will become a trump card for the Earth and the embassy in the alliance."

Yu Lian couldn't help but sigh again, it's really useful for a butler-like uncle to speak flattering words.

He smiled and said: "I don't mind being a publicity material. But if everything goes as expected, this may be the last victory we have won for a long time, right?"

Of course he was throwing cold water on it. But now, only the cold water poured by myself can have a real effect.

Major General Mkawa and Rozeshi looked at each other, probably feeling that the situation was a bit subtle.

"Marshal Ikanroga is a veteran general who has experienced hundreds of battles. Don't look at the fact that the empire is filled with so-called 'famous generals' who have risen by suppressing rebels and annexing small countries. In fact, as long as someone can get the Marshal's Scepter, , there is no one who lives up to their name. They are qualified to participate in the Privy Council meeting, and they are very aware of the empire's size advantages, so they can construct strategies from a higher dimension."

He paused, shrugged and smiled: "Before, the empire did not dare to continue the pursuit. My intimidation might have had some effect, but I am self-aware. Although this is very exciting, it is actually very time-sensitive."

"So you did it mainly to attract attention, right? Is that so?" Of course, the person who professionally interjected beside him could not be a loyal adjutant or a diligent chief of staff. It could only be some elusive zero element. Cyberwoman is gone.

At this time, Xiao Hui had already touched his face less than three inches away from his side, and the flawless face full of sculpture suddenly became vivid with a wicked smile.

Of course, Yu Lian pretended not to see it and continued to explain: "People like Marshal Ikenluojia will definitely understand that as long as they can give full play to their physical advantages, they will be invincible. The land. The Galactic Empire in the future should choose to fight steadily and step by step."

To put it bluntly, we are just building a stronghold and fighting the war. But don’t think this lacks technical content. Being able to constrain a large number of troops from various places, with different languages ​​and even races to move forward step by step is a huge test for the commander's command.

However, Yu Lian didn't think that the opponent couldn't do it.

Even if Marshal Ikenluojia cannot do it, the professional staff, military law and military and political systems under the Grand Marshal's Mansion will definitely be able to help him do it.

"Marshal Ikenluojia has no need to take risks, and of course there is no need to pursue him." Yu Lian shrugged.

"However, if this happens, the empire's consumption will definitely be much greater than ours, right?" Luo Zeshi said.

"Yes, but their national strength is much greater than ours. When it comes to competing for internal strength, we have to look at the strategic determination of the decision-makers." Speaking of this, Yu Lian wanted to press his temples. He really doesn't have much confidence in the Gong Gong Lords of the Earth.

Chief of Staff Mkawa said: "...It seems that the future will depend on the diplomatic efforts of the Earth. If we can get the strong support of the Alliance, we are not afraid that it will take so long with the Empire."

"Yes, this is our chance to win." Although Yu Lian felt that the chief of staff was a little optimistic, He was not prepared to pour cold water on his subordinates with unfounded "prejudices", which would only make him appear like a resentful woman.

"chief of staff,"

Then, he put his legs on the command table and crossed his hands flat in front of his abdomen, assuming a comfortable but unseemly posture.

On a normal day, the butler-type Chief of Staff Mkawa would definitely have spoken out to dissuade him, loudly saying something unpleasant but certainly correct, such as "He will be the courage of the three armies" and "The commander-in-chief must set an example for everyone." But this time, he remained silent the whole time, probably because he really felt that the commander was too tired.

"Okay, it's a long road, and we still have time to explore together. Before that, let's have a good rest. Everyone, go and have a rest. Chester, give me another cup of sweet potato roast."

"This is home-brewed rice wine using sweet potatoes produced by Baichuanxing. Mr. Qi plans to name it Danzhouwang."

"Well, it's really elegant, but isn't this still sweet potato roasting?"

"...Maybe it's related to the necessity of packaging. So, do you want some snacks to go with the wine?"

"Of course. It would be even better if we had some more projectile lobsters from Baichuan Star." "Unfortunately, there are no more." Luo Zeshi said with a smile: "But, if the prediction is good, it should be packed over there at the fortress. There will be a banquet to entertain us, right?"

"That's really worth looking forward to!"

Everyone left without further interruption. After waiting for everyone to leave, Yu Lian directly opened the sound-proofing field surrounding the commander's room. He really spread his legs completely and put them on the table in front of the seat, preparing to take a nap.

Then, he felt as if his head was sinking into an invisible cloud, which was indescribably comfortable.

Yu Lian suddenly felt relaxed all over, and even the sea of ​​spiritual energy that was about to wither began to moisturize again. This is the horse-killing service of the ancient nanorobots from the Age of Enlightenment. I have had many experiences in this area in my previous life, but this is indeed the first time in my life.

"You have created brilliant achievements and left your name in the history of war, but you are actually not happy." Xiao Hui's voice reached Yu Lian's ears: "Actually, you are still more like a free ranger. Well. Is this necessary?"

Yu Lian didn't answer immediately. In this short moment, his thoughts had fallen into memories on another timeline.

He admitted that it was indeed a time of excitement and turmoil, but one that made him nostalgic.

However, such memories only indulged me for less than half a minute.

"Xiao Hui, someone once said that the history of civilized society can be divided into two ideological trends. One is that truth is more important than life, and the other is that life is more important than anything else. When humans want to start a war, they will definitely go before It’s an excuse.”

"Haha, I'm not a historian, let alone a sociologist. I'm just a harmless robot. So, little brother Yu Lian, do you believe it?"

"I believe so. If the war really starts on the pretext of the former, it will definitely end on the excuse of the latter, but the reasons are often more superficial."

"You just want to say that it's all about profit."

"What? It's superficial enough, right? I'm not sure whether the essence of civilization is a grass-roots team, but the world is prosperous and everyone is seeking benefit, but it must be the truth."

"That's right. Superficial reasons are always much firmer than grand slogans. However, you did not answer my question just now."

"Hahaha, I didn't promise to answer you."

"What a ruthless man! But, okay, you are ruthless, but Sister Cinderella, I am very ruthless. I just want to tell you, no matter what you are going to do, as long as it is fun...ah, as long as it makes the universe more lively, If you bring changes to the development of civilization, I will support you." Xiao Hui smiled sweetly, pressed his finger to his lips, and then pressed Yu Lian's forehead: "This does not violate my principles."

Yu Lian closed his eyes and said from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you very much, Gray Queen."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you guy! You really only use honorifics when you beg me. Isn't this too obvious?"

"Anyway, thank you. I will also ask for help frankly. Gray Queen. However, before that, let me seriously think about where this gloomy road ahead should lead."

In this way, the Yulian fleet returned to the Said galaxy where the Lucknar Corridor and the I Earl Star Gap intersected with the attitude of a victor.

Before he arrived, the Blue Star Community was forced to give up control of most of the two main channels in the Far Shore Nebula and shrink its defense line into the fortress. Being suppressed by the empire's border troops and a group of mobilization troops from vassal states, they were unable to move.

Until Yu Lian's fleet arrived with a forced march, the situation suddenly turned around.

However, when Marshal Ikenluojia arrived at the scene with the real army of the empire, he had no choice but to retreat to the Saide Fortress.

What the hell, before I came, the community could only cling to Sede. After I came, the community could only retreat to where it was. So wasn’t it a damn thing that I came here in vain? Yu Lian did have this thought in his mind.

Because they have obviously achieved a series of tactical victories, but due to the size gap with the empire, they have never been able to convert them into strategic victories. This feeling is actually quite suffocating.

Now, he can only hope that these tactical victories of his can be exchanged for the diplomatic support he deserves.

But in fact, if ordinary soldiers knew the commander's thoughts, they would definitely think that he was a bit hypocritical.

You must know that after the Yulian fleet arrived, the three armies used their lives and fought ten battles. In just three weeks, they crippled the fleets of three countries and even spread the flames of war to the empire's territory. Even according to the most conservative estimate, the number of officers and soldiers from various countries who died directly at his hands should have exceeded 300 million.

For the rest of the fleet, and even the officers and soldiers in the entire outer ring theater, this young commander is now their military god.

Now, anyone can see that, except for the glorious victory of the Ring of Miracles at the beginning, the empire has not taken any advantage on all fronts. The Blue Star Community, with its few remaining troops, showed shocking resilience and aggressiveness.

For many, tactical victory represents the heart of the people. Who can say that people's hearts cannot let the scale of victory begin to tilt?

Immediately afterwards, this big news was spreading to the entire universe through the seismic wave network.

What kind of changes it will bring will take some time to ferment. However, this is enough for the earth to continue to rejoice.

Therefore, the supreme cabinet meeting in the Presidential Palace of Eternal City on Earth was naturally filled with joy and excitement.

With a proud smile on his face, President Nishita said to his colleagues: "Yesterday's speech at the Independence City Square in Pearl City was indeed very successful! We are moving from one victory to another. Sir, this is our moment of glory, and it is the moment of glory for all the people of the Blue Star Community. However, everyone, please never forget that in the final analysis, this is what the frontline soldiers fought for us."

Yes, everyone knows that your speech yesterday was a success. However, can you please not use the lines and mental state of ordinary people when they are injecting chicken blood in front of us? Don't you feel embarrassed? Don't you feel ashamed?

Such malicious thoughts flashed through Vice President Hierro's mind, but he said in a gratified tone: "Yes, it is indeed a very brilliant victory. We killed five or six times more of our soldiers on the far bank and at the Bloody Gate than we sacrificed. The enemy's army! This is only the result that we can determine. Lieutenant General Yu Lian made ten battles and ten battles, and the main force of the empire did not dare to advance. Could it be that the spirit of the universe has given the community a god of war and a savior from heaven?"

Vice President Hierro is much more peaceful than President Nichita, and of course much more decent. He is more like a serious gentleman. Of course, as a well-trained professional politician, he also perfectly conveyed his appreciation for Yu Lian.

However, the Minister of Labor, Mr. Bai, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, always felt that the other party had ulterior motives for his remarks. He didn't know if this came from his own prejudice.

It doesn't matter if a frontline general is called a "God of War", but this "Savior from Heaven" is a bit sensitive. This is especially true for civilian governments.

Fortunately, Mr. President seemed not to be provoked at all, but looked concerned: "Yes, he is not only my Winged Marshal, but also my Champion!"

Yu Lian will be twenty-four this year, right? Does this guy really understand or really doesn’t understand? Mr. Bai thought.

"The Yaochi and the Ring of Miracles are still holding on." Mr. Maxell, the chairman of the National Defense Committee, reminded in a low voice, probably because he wanted to tell the president that he could not lose sight of one thing and let the soldiers who were still fighting in the New World feel chilled.

Mr. President said loudly: "Yes, there are undefeated magicians strategizing, and we are as stable as a rock in the Li Ming Star Territory. Jessica, your husband is also a hero, and your husband is the leader of the Blue Star Community. Bai Yuzhu. He is not only my Soldier Immortal, he is simply my Lord Wu An!"

Ms. Jessica Yang, Minister of Women and Children and Yang Xiyi’s wife, once again showed a stiff smile.

"Yang Xiyi and Yu Lian are the twin walls that protect our blue and free world! Considering their ages, they can still protect our independent and free paradise for at least fifty years!"
