Him and their stars.

Chapter 909 Tired and Unconstructive

The person who spoke was the only woman among the senior officers present, and she was named Vice Admiral Vessanlia Tivington, who held such an important position as the Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Fleet.She looked about in her early forties, and she was a graceful lady. Although she was wearing a neat general uniform, her demeanor was not that of a soldier, but more like a senior white-collar elite of a large company.

Of course, this type of lady is very good at it and has the capital to maintain it, so her real age may be a little older than her current appearance.

Seeing that all the officers were looking at him, Lieutenant General Tivington explained in a patient tone: "Judging from the news from the Thirteenth Fleet on the front line, judging from the battle damage ratio, we have achieved Great advantage. In this case, the possibility of predators setting traps can be ruled out to a large extent. Then, on what basis did Major General Mark Love not adopt pursuit tactics? "

Yang Xiyi thought to himself, his speech was very orderly and his tone was not aggressive, obviously he had special experience in expression management and physical training.This is no longer the superficial setting of top white-collar elites, who are either celebrities, lawyers or politicians.

"I'm not blaming them." She added: "But we haven't had a single encounter with predators in the past three months, but this time the enemy is so big, does this explain , with the collapse of the maze of the magic palace, the main force of the predators itself is in a certain stage of chaos."

Although this person looks like a white-collar elite and speaks with a politician-like demeanor, Yang Xiyi has also heard of this person.She is also an "old senior" who graduated from the Lunar Military Academy. Later, when the community and the alliance were engaged in military exchanges, she was sent to study at the highest military institution in the alliance—the Star Alliance National Defense Research University, and she graduated as the top three in her grade.

A woman, a person of the earth, and a citizen of the community, have achieved such results in the elite-gathering alliance institutions of higher learning.At least academic achievement is still very inspirational.

All in all, if "lunar people" like Yang Xiyi and the others are local turtles who graduated from the Qing Dynasty, Lieutenant General Teague is the returnee elite from Harvard.

Moreover, compared to Admiral Conneris, who has a glamorous resume but no actual combat experience, this lady chief of staff has at least served as a captain, admiral of the squadron, and an important member of the military staff.

Although there is no convincing credit for contacting Ai in his position as the commander of the actual combat force, who dares to say that this is not actual combat experience?He then served as the head of the military research department at the General Staff, and also published several papers on armament and tactical innovations.All in all, he is also a technocratic officer with a more perfect resume than the Commander.

Of course, a highly educated elite bureaucrat like her still pays great attention to decency.Although the content of her speech was suspected of accusing the Thirteenth Fleet of fearing the enemy, but because of her very gentle attitude, it was indeed more like discussing a problem.

Since the other party was still saving face, Yang Xiyi corrected his attitude and explained: "I have indeed considered this possibility. However, it is only what we can be sure of. The total strength of the main predator fleet that passed through the Gate of Glory They are not under our expeditionary fleet. They successfully mobilized the attention of the empire, passed through the abyss nebula and the gate of glory, and there were no major mistakes along the way across two million light years. The commander of the khan Capability is evident. The Marauders may be in some sort of chaos right now, but it shouldn't be that easy to lose unity of command."

Some senior officers born in the First Fleet seemed to show disapproval, but Yang Xiyi pretended not to see it. Anyway, Commander Canaris and Chief of Staff Tivington both listened carefully and thoughtfully, and that was enough. .

"As for the Thirteenth Fleet, after all, they were the first to enter the Devil's Labyrinth star field, and established a gravitational wave communication transfer station and deep space detectors. They were also the first batch of coalition soldiers to fight against the predators, and they were also established. The first achievement. The Thirteenth Fleet has limited forces, and it is not easy to achieve this step. I have given an explanation to everyone. I personally think that there will be great risks in continuing to advance rashly. Why don't we let the empire Come take the risk."

Admiral Conneris withdrew his smile slightly, and there was a hint of warning on his face: "General Yang, we sent troops this time to quell the looters' rebellion and restore peace to the New World. The duty of a member of Parliament is just and noble military action, and nothing else."

The lady chief of staff also said: "The earth side will fully support our decision, so don't put too much pressure on yourself because of some irresponsible rumors. Of course, military behavior should be considered with military thinking. That's it."

Yang Xiyi showed a proper expression of gratitude, just like a mature social person, bowed his head and said: "I understand."

Lieutenant General Picard on the side didn't hide his contempt, and stared at Yang Xiyi viciously with eyes as big as copper bells, his face was full of grief and sadness of "brother, how did you degenerate into this state".

"However, what you said just now is indeed very reasonable." The lady chief of staff changed the subject and expressed her apology in a more sincere tone: "Indeed, the soldiers of the Thirteenth Fleet have done everything they can. Knowing the situation on the front line, I take it for granted! I am very sorry."

She glanced secretly at Admiral Connors, who maintained a serious expression, and said in a rather majestic tone: "Then, let the Thirteenth Fleet continue to monitor the surrounding area while standing still. Exploration of the star field. In any case, this expedition has the support of all countries in the galaxy, and our strategic advantage will not be shaken. The more channels we can enter, the more beneficial it will be to us."

"Yes! The Marauders have limited troops. If they lose the Devil's Labyrinth, they will definitely deploy heavy troops in certain star systems. Frontal combat will lead to a stalemate. At this time, we should consider using other routes for deep penetration." Staff Officer Madam Chang added.

"Indeed, we clearly have an absolute advantage. If we achieve a protracted battle, we will be sorry for the full support of the country and the people. Lieutenant General Tivington, please... Well, prepare the marching plan with Major General Yang. We need Let the main fleet reach the Devil's Labyrinth as soon as possible!" said the commander.

Yang Xiyi felt that if the two generals hadn't been dressed in neat senior officer uniforms, and their tone and attitude were very dignified and majestic, he might have thought they were talking about cross talk.

At this time, a female general sitting directly opposite Yang Xiyi asked: "By the way, General Yang, the devil's labyrinth is said to have been cracked, but this should also be our speculation, right?"

It is a common speculation between our side and the empire.Yang Xiyi thought so in his heart, but said in his mouth: "This is my next judgment. I can only say that I am more than [-]% sure."

The female general said: "Then, it is Colonel Yu Lian's credit to hear about this matter, but there is such a thing."

Yang Xiyi said with a smile: "He said he got clues in this regard, so he went to investigate. However, I don't know anything about psychic users next time, so I can only let him play freely."

"This is indeed his style, and he always succeeds." Madam Major General said to the commander and the chief of staff: "It's better to wait until Colonel Yu Lian returns and listen to his opinion before making the next decision. If If it is really his credit for the shattering of the Devil's Labyrinth, then no one in the galaxy understands the current situation better than him."

The de facto leader of the expedition fleet and the theoretical second leader looked at each other in dismay.It stands to reason that a mere colonel is not qualified to participate in this highest-level military meeting, but that person is special after all.

What's more, the effect of something like the devil's maze before is really too metaphysical, far beyond everyone's understanding of astronomy and astrophysics.Since technology cannot respond to their demands, of course they can only resort to occultism.

And this lady major general is the biggest occult expert in the entire expedition fleet.Her appearance looks more than ten years younger than the Chief of Staff's lady, and her face value is more than twice that of the latter's. Her eyes of different colors, one blue and one red, make her look even more mysterious and elegant.If Lieutenant General Tivington is a white-collar elite who can be trained artificially, this one is a natural witch.

...Of course, not too much like a soldier.

But even so, Admiral Connerys and Lieutenant General Tivington were still very polite to her.Because her name is Ajitha Mallowan, the commander of the Community Psychic Special Forces, and is currently serving as the chief occult consultant of the expedition fleet.

The commander and the chief of staff said that it is imperative to listen to what the experts say, whether it is true or false, anyway, at least on the surface, you must have an attitude.So the lady chief of staff asked, "When will Colonel Yu Lian return?"

"Regardless of success or failure, we will definitely return before May 5." Yang Xiyi said.

"That's it." Admiral Connors nodded.

Yang Xiyi saw that His Excellency the Commander seemed a little disappointed, but he didn't know whether he thought Yu Lian came back too slowly or too fast.

The commander said again: "Lieutenant General Kapid, it is better for you to lead the Tenth Fleet to set off first, and meet with the Thirteenth Fleet. If there is any situation, we can also take care of it."

This is actually a regular command that does not go up or down, but it is also a command without errors.What's more, General Picard stood up to attention almost without any hesitation, and agreed with a high-spirited voice, with the look of a fierce pioneer building bridges when encountering mountains and rivers.However, Yang Xiyi always felt that that guy should be bored with the commander, and it would be great if he could get in touch with him sooner.

In this way, the first high-level meeting of the expeditionary fleet was successfully concluded.

It was indeed a complete success. Although everyone did not reach any constructive proposals, Yang Xiyi felt that he had only successfully prevented the blind actions of the highest command, and it could be regarded as a consummation of merit and virtue.It's just that after this less than an hour's meeting, I felt more tired than the few battles I had with the predators.

"Actually, what if we really want to press all the fleets up there according to what that woman said? As long as we hold on, we should not be found by the looters." After the meeting, Lieutenant General Kapid said to Yang Xiyi .

Yang Xiyi smiled wryly and said, "I'm just afraid that all the fleets will be overwhelmed, and the huge force of our own will make the commander's head overheated. Besides, if we are squeezed into the same galaxy as the empire's fleet, it will be easier to get overheated."

The bald general thought about it for a while, and then sighed: "This battle has been won. I clearly have the advantage, but why do I feel so bad? Tsk, no matter what, I will take the first step and stabilize myself at the front line."

After bidding farewell to his old friends, Yang Xiyi suddenly remembered that since the expedition fleet is composed of the local fleet as the core force, doesn't that mean that the young backbones of Horatio Wayne's youth club should also arrive in the New World?Those young masters were also my students before, should I invite them to have a drink?
Then he let out a "bah" again, thinking that he is not a member of the youth club, do he have such a good relationship with the gang of second-year-old boys?Moreover, as a "deputy chief of staff" representing the New World Faction, I am too close to the young backbone officers of the Native Fleet Faction. I am afraid that Admiral Connerys and Lieutenant General Tivington will misunderstand?
Yang Xiyi was not afraid of their misunderstanding, but was afraid of trouble.

Thinking of this, Major General Yang Xiyi had a splitting headache and felt that even if he drank black tea mixed with brandy tonight, he would not be able to save his depressed mood.

Of course, if he knew that someone's Scarlet Throne had already returned to the stable course of the return journey, and there were still two transitions, the cruise would enter the instant communication range of "Xuan 16" in less than [-] hours, Maybe the mood will get better.

Now, Yu Lian on the Scarlet Throne is also facing a farewell.

"So, are you leaving?" Yu Lian looked at Lan Jiufeng, then at Earl Heiyue, really reluctant.

"The matter is over, and we have returned to the stable channel. Naturally, it is time to leave." Lan Jiufeng stroked his silver beard and said.

"Besides, through this battle, your strength has greatly increased, and it will be a matter of course before you reach the sixth ring environment. Watching the sky at night as a teacher, I guess your fate will fall on the subsequent actions. If you are a teacher and Hei Brother Yue is still nearby, maybe it will ruin your fate."

Yu Lian couldn't help but startled.Since this cheap master came out after a week of retreat, his demeanor has become more calm and breezy, as if he would break the void at any time, as if every word he said seemed to be a little bit out of order.

"Master, my five rings are only less than four months old. Are you kidding me?"

"Nonsense, of course I'm joking." Lan Jiufeng said angrily, "I have entered the saint stage in four months. As a teacher, I have never heard of such an example."
