Him and their stars

Chapter 651 After the exercise is the real show
Feifei is right.No matter how many black technologies or even forbidden powers the predators have mastered through the starry sky, their hard power is always far from giants like the Imperial Alliance.

In the previous life, the reason why the predators invaded the hinterland of the alliance was because, on the one hand, there was a new great khan, and according to the tradition, it was necessary to grab a big one; on the other hand, there was a period of strategic imbalance between the empire and the alliance. , the empire launched a full-scale offensive, and the forces within the alliance were relatively empty.

In addition, if it is said that these predators do not have a py relationship with the empire, anyway, Yu Lian himself absolutely does not believe it.

However, the big killer that caused the strategic imbalance between the two parties is about to start crying in this universe.Compared with the appearance of this weapon, the battle of thousands of warships and millions of people in the "Glory Mission" is just a foreplay.

It's just that the participants in the exercise didn't know it!Most of the soldiers of both sides who participated in the exercise only felt that this large-scale actual combat exercise organized directly by the Privy Council and the Grand Marshal's Office was the only chance to gain military honors in this peaceful age.

Therefore, in the follow-up process, the imperial soldiers of the red and blue sides continued to wantonly show the demeanor of the most powerful army in the galaxy to the whole universe.Of course, at this level, everyone in Mingyang can see that the advantage of the red team led by Admiral Farrell is already unshakable.

However, even in this situation, the blue team still showed sufficient resilience, gritting their teeth to maintain their own defense.Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were not fighting desperately, but seemed to be really waiting for the situation to change, as if they were really ambushing a divine soldier somewhere.

In fact, it is true.When the time came to mid-October, a fleet belonging to the red side finally penetrated to the rear of the entire army's front.This is the red guerrilla fleet led by Viscount Shameen and Rear Admiral Bai Ya, which hit more than [-]% of the extraordinary power of the side.Originally, after participating in the suppression of the riots in the Sarna galaxy, this fleet should be able to withdraw from the exercise and take a good rest.

However, after the star knights on the ship went through a bloody battle, their morale and fighting spirit swelled a lot.They were very moved by the kindness of the exercise director's department, but they still rejected the proposal and decided to continue fighting.

Then their fleet disappeared among the stars, and was never seen again.

If there were only a small fleet of less than ten ships, in a real fleet decisive battle, even the squadrons used as cannon fodder would be far behind.However, if there are more than a hundred psykers equipped with the latest heraldry machine on this squadron, that would be another matter.

For Admiral Farrell, it was like a poisonous dagger hidden in the opponent's sleeve, and he had to guard against it.Ever since, he even allocated more than [-] warships to form three groups to search and contain from all directions, and he must completely wipe out this wave of star knights.

However, after three consecutive weeks of chasing and intercepting, nothing was achieved after all.A large number of troops have done useless work, but it has made the red generals on the front line even more stretched to use their troops.

Even so, the star knights really escaped from the siege, and began to attack the red 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, and if they attack hard, they will die.However, if the majestic star knight really wants to treat himself as a pirate, then what he does must be a dimensionality reduction blow.

In a few days, they attacked three supply fleets in a row. Not only did the knights suffer no loss of ships and heavy casualties, but their scale even expanded.

The star knights, who have always been known for their bravery and extraordinary sense of honor, actually did the work of pirates, which caused quite a bit of controversy.Many members of the observation team even secretly found a place to celebrate.In their view, the knights of the star realm have begun to degenerate, and of course it is the beginning of the degeneration of the empire.

It was 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 Fang's flagship, but Admiral Farrell saw through it in advance and set up a pocket array in advance.It's a pity that the opponent also seemed to guess that the opponent had seen through his plan, so he just showed his face and turned around in front of the enemy in front of the net laid by the red square, and slipped away.

This small fleet and more than 100 star knights are indeed the biggest enemy of the red team during this period.At least, they did slow down the time of the red team's general attack by nearly a week, which was something that Marshal Este of the blue team hadn't done with the fortresses that had been set up in advance.

But in the extra week, Marshal Este organized three more lines of defense, relying on his own resources and logistical bonus as the defender.

By this time, the exhausted red team had lost the ability to continue to attack.Similarly, the blue side, who was beaten dizzily and could only look at the defense of the fortress, also had no ambition to counterattack and regain the lost ground.

Everyone knows that the battle situation has developed to this point, and it is time for the "Glory Mission" to end.

Then, on October 832, 10 in the common calendar, that is, the 19th day after the official start of the exercise, King Brunhilt of Suluka officially announced that the Glory Mission military exercise was a complete success.

It is indeed very complete.A lot of new warships and various types of equipment appeared in this military exercise, which can be called a gluttonous feast for military fans.Similarly, the quality and fighting spirit of the imperial army once again shocked the nations.The empire's allies and vassals, who mainly acted as cannon fodder and atmosphere groups during the military exercise, also expressed that the empire's father is the best, and it feels too safe to hang out with the empire's father.As for the soldiers of the empire, they have also 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 host and guest enjoyed themselves.The two sides of the exercise also started to repair on the spot, disbanded and returned to the original organizational system.

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 the notice from the exercise organizer was officially sent to each observation group.The notice stated that I hope everyone will gather at the Extreme Frontier Military Region Command on the outer space orbit of Luyuan Star. The empire will announce important events to the whole universe. I hope everyone will not miss it.

Yu Lian knew in his heart that the main show was finally here.

However, the rest of the Community Observation Team were at a loss. They all thought that these imperial devils just like to play tricks. It must be a matter of character.

Afterwards, everyone began to speculate.

Some people said that it might be that the empire was so quiet that it wanted to declare war on the alliance, but the alliance observation team headed by Admiral Akbar was still chatting and laughing with a group of high-level empire officials every day during this period.Moreover, the empire is gearing up, and the alliance on the opposite side is not idle.Who will start a war at this time?Of course, it is unlikely to attack any small country around it. Isn't this equivalent to going to war with the alliance?

A more reliable statement is about the all-out war between the Kingdom of Circe and the Principality of Hyal that has lasted for nearly a year.This most tragic war after the Seventh Galactic War has created hundreds of millions of refugees and caused considerable burdens on neighboring countries.As one of the two overlords of the Milky Way, the Empire may feel that it is time for him to stand up as a savior and solve this problem completely.Of course, the premise is that he has already negotiated the terms with the league.

Others believe that Elisel the Great had been widowed for half a century—his seventh queen died of illness forty-five years ago.Although His Majesty the Emperor is at this age, he is a psychic with nine rings after all, and his life level has risen to another level. Now he is still alive and kicking without any signs of pills, and married a wife who is two hundred years younger than himself , is also understandable.

Not to mention, there are really many people in the group who believe this.

This is because the deputy head of the observation team and chief military officer of the embassy, ​​Major General Walter Lal, pointed out that His Majesty the Emperor is a big fan of "Legend of Space Heroes".His Majesty the Emperor also praised the most classic "Mesozoic Trilogy" released five years ago among the movies it adapted.The trilogy films were co-produced by the Empire, the Alliance, and the Community. The heroine, Dame Zarona Mephimika, is a talented and beautiful girl actress from the Empire. She won the Yagomi Award and knighthood for this role.It's said...it's really just a rumor!His Majesty the Emperor is still pasting other people's posters in his bedroom.

After all, Major General Lal is doing intelligence work, and everyone agrees with what he said.

Admiral Maxell informed the country on the spot, asking the big shots on Earth to prepare congratulatory gifts and the like.Anyway, congratulatory gifts can be wasted, but if not prepared, it may lead to a diplomatic accident.After all, this is the wedding of the most powerful person in the galaxy.

This may also be the operation of the emperor following the wedding, forcibly collecting money from the princes and other countries to enrich the royal family.Anyway, this kind of thing is not unheard of in history.More than [-] years ago, there was an emperor who married [-] times in his life, and then successfully renovated the Infinity Palace without spending a penny of the state's finances.

Of course, it must be explained that the reason why Admiral Maxell and the bigwigs in the country believed it was not because of their IQ, but because their position determined their actions.Anyway, if you believe in it, you won't die. At most, it's just a waste of ordinary people's tax money.

However, this opinion was actually proposed by Major General Lal, which surprised Yu Lian a little.Is this still the excellent intelligence officer who is capable, calm, plan and then act, but also knows how to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?
"Even if I don't say that, Congress allocates so much special diplomatic funds every year." Major General Walter Shrugged, and secretly explained to Yu Lian: "As long as it is really spent, it will always be spent." It is helpful for diplomacy. Besides, I can also take the opportunity to confirm some things..."

Yu Lian looked at the other party suspiciously, lowered his voice and asked, "You're not taking this opportunity to confirm the attitude of Admiral Maxell and other bigwigs in the country, are you?"

Major General Lal glanced at Yu Lian, said nothing, but left a knowing smile.

In addition to the most unreliable opinions put forward by Walter Lall, there are actually some really reliable opinions.Colonel Silva, Yulian's "senior" and an equipment expert, suggested that it might be a new type of weapon, for example, a new type of dreadnought or even a Titan ship.

Yu Lian felt that this should be the closest to the truth, but he had a high opinion of that "old senior".It's just that what the latter probably didn't expect was that this new type of weapon would be so new.

On the morning of October 10th, Yu Lian took Feifei and accompanied the big guys of the observation team in an organized and disciplined manner. They took the transportation provided by the empire, left the planet's surface of Luyuan Star, and came to space in low-earth orbit. stand on.

This is a medium-sized space building, mainly responsible for the communication center between the Luyuan Star and the surrounding galaxies.The military headquarters in charge of the extreme frontier star region's defense against the Milky Way is also located here.However, we all know that most of the main fleet and command of the extreme frontier garrison actually stay at the Lion's Den Fortress all year round, and the headquarters here is basically a decoration.

Although it is a decoration, it has complete functions and equipment, and the usable space is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people to live and work.

Now, the military observation team with a total of more than 317 people from 5000 countries in the Milky Way has all arrived before 10:[-] am.Also resisting, there are an equal number of journalists from all over the world.

The Imperial Royal Sky TV station even dispatched a relay ship that crashed into the source matter wave relay to the nearby low-earth orbit, ready to broadcast live to the whole universe.

It must be admitted that an empire is an empire, and the so-called fear of power can only be virtuous; among other things, at least the sense of ritual is really just now.Before the main play begins, there is a solemn and solemn celebration ceremony.At the meeting, Queen Brunhilt, on behalf of the will of the Dragon's Landing Palace, awarded Admiral Farrell the Imperial Crown Knight Medal of Valor.Although the words were not clearly stated, everyone understood that His Majesty the Emperor, who watched the exercise from the exercise director department and Tianyu, had already agreed that Admiral Farrell's red side was the winner.

However, as the "loser", Marshal Este couldn't see any disappointment at all. He frankly hung the medal on the chest of his opponent who was nearly [-] years younger than himself, and after clapping the shoulders of the recipient.

"The future is yours." The old marshal smiled, as if he had inherited all the honors of the Imperial Army.

Many people take it for granted that this young Admiral Farrell must be the future leader of the Imperial Army.But Yu Lian knew that this master of fleet operation who creatively developed the "Sky Bow Tactic" was actually just a transitional figure.On another world line, his time to shine was actually very short. He had just waited until the veterans after the Seventh Galactic War gradually faded out of the historical stage, and the limelight was completely taken away by younger generals born after the war. up.

And a considerable part of these generals are already in that person's hub.

...Well, let's hope Admiral Farrell sticks around a bit longer on this timeline.

As if sensing Yu Lian's gaze, Queen Brunhilt, who was on the rostrum, turned her gaze to Yu Lian's direction, showing a smile like a flower blooming.

Yu Lian buried his head down, while Feifei, who was beside him, was already holding a thermos cup and started drinking tea.

Of course, the gurgling sound that made Yu Lian restless didn't last long.After the completion of the celebration ceremony, it was a press conference that was not nutritious.After an hour, the sharp-tongued reporters tried their best at the press conference hosted by Brunhilt, but they didn't even get any reliable news.Whether it's about the mutation of the Sarna galaxy or the process of the exercise, they don't know more than the people who eat melons on the Internet.

What followed was a very lavish luncheon, buffet in nature, but also social and diplomatic in nature.The entire hall of the space station was set up at the banquet site, which can indeed accommodate tens of thousands of people for meals.

Yu Lian took the opportunity to eat another full meal, and was just about to take a nap, when the staff notified everyone to enter the arena.

...well, this is where the real drama begins.

However, at this time, Feifei conjured up her special correspondent card again, greeted everyone in the observation group, and joined the ranks of the reporter group with her interview equipment.The areas where the reporters and members of the military observation team are located are different. It is said that it is more convenient to take pictures of the scene.

However, Yu Lian had just taken his seat in the third row of the observation group, and before he could say hello to Admiral Maxell, Major General Lal and others in the first two rows, a captain from the Imperial Army who was in charge of reception squeezed in. He whispered in his ear: "Colonel Yu Lian? Excuse me, can you move?"

"Shift?" Yu Lian glanced at the other party. He was a young officer about twenty-four or five years old. Although he was young, he was very calm and capable, and the diplomatic and business smile on his face couldn't find any flaws.

Yu Lian vaguely felt that this person looked familiar, and guessed that it should be the future famous general of the empire in another timeline, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he said, "I didn't make a mistake."

"You are not wrong, even if you are in the wrong position, it must be a mistake in our work." The captain still smiled modestly and decently: "It's just that His Royal Highness Su Liuka invited you to go over."

This guy didn't deliberately lower his voice, so not only Admiral Maxell in the front row and his colleagues in the regiment, but also people in the alliance seats next to him turned their heads to look over.

For a while, Yu Lian really felt a little restless.

He was extremely glad that Feifei was not here now.
