Chapter 367 Marshal Werner

In the vast and boundless universe of stars, there are dots of stars.A comet with a long tail across the sky, lonely and proud.

Half a year ago, the Iseras Empire united with Sylvester and Telsi, and without any warning, the three countries brazenly invaded the Lichma Federation, the largest country in the southwest universe.In just three months, the powerful Iseras coalition forces fought four large-scale battles with the Lichma Federation, and there were countless other small and medium-sized battles.On the federal side, due to the long-term peaceful and comfortable life, the soldiers lacked training, and the combat equipment was outdated, and every battle was bound to be lost.After four battles, the fourth, fifth, tenth, No.14, and No.15 fleets of the Federal Army were completely destroyed; the sixth, No.12, and No.13 fleets surrendered to the enemy; After being severely damaged, the No.11 fleet withdrew to the rear, and a group of high-ranking officials, including the commander of the fleet, were sent to military courts.

After losing one-third of the administrative stars, both the Federal President and the Minister of Defense took the blame and resigned one after another.The whole country is in chaos, the workers have no intention of working, the soldiers have fled the barracks, the rich have quietly transferred their assets to other countries, and the entire federation is like the end of the world.

Under such circumstances, with the support of more than a dozen large consortia, the new president was ordered to step in and cooperate with the military to carry out a series of activities.On the one hand to stabilize the domestic situation, on the other hand to vigorously recruit troops and conduct regular training; to activate national strategic materials, more than a dozen spacecraft manufacturing companies and mecha manufacturing companies have accepted military control and are fully committed to producing warships, mechs, or various weapons and ammunition.Even some small and medium-sized equipment manufacturing companies try their best to produce some parts.

After the entire national machine was activated, the long-standing background of the Lichma Federation was revealed. Brand-new warships rolled off the production line, and new-style mechs were sent to the front line. Each one was full of excitement and vowed to kill the invaders. The young men and women who were driven out went to the training camp to become fighters. After a short three-month training, they were sent to the front line.

At the same time, through a series of foreign policies, the Lichma Federation requested support from several countries that had friendly relations with it, including Chu and Tang.But for some reason, these countries kept silent about this, and only sent some aid in a symbolic manner, and condemned the invasion of Yseras.But in essence, no soldiers were sent.It is not known what it is for.

But in diplomacy, the Likima Federation has also made some achievements.Several countries on the border with Lichma have signed a non-aggression treaty with them very readily, so that the warships used by the Lichma Federation to defend these countries can be pulled to the front line to fight.They are very clear, if the extremely aggressive Yseras occupies the entire territory of the Lichma Federation, can they guarantee that they will not be threatened by Yseras?Under the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, at such a critical moment, they did not dare to drag Li Qima's hind legs.

Soon, the Lichma Federation reorganized the third, sixth and No.11 fleets of the original southwest region, plus the first and second fleets to defend the capital circle, as well as the eighth fleet drawn from other sources, The Ninth Fleet, and the newly formed [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th Fleets.Ten full-scale fleets with a total of [-] warships marched to the front line and stationed in batches.

After these few battles, Yseras also needed time to rest.At the same time, it still needs to digest these occupied administrative planets, so it didn't continue to advance for a while.When Lichma saw that the opponent had no tendency to attack, he decided to regain the lost ground. Ten fleets launched a fierce attack on the area occupied by Yseras in three directions. However, under the nearly perfect defense of Iseras, the Federation No results were achieved.At the same time, the commander-in-chief of the Federal Army and the newly appointed Minister of Defense, Marshal Werner, discovered many problems in the fleet during several battles, such as insufficient training, etc., so he pulled the fleet back, while defending, while ruthlessly Training, from the commander of the fleet to every soldier, except for the necessary defensive fleet, 24 hours a day, except for eating and sleeping, they are all undergoing rigorous training.Many soldiers, including some junior officers, could not stand such harsh training and became deserters.

Marshal Werner was furious, and sent the Federal Military Intelligence Agency to cooperate with the local police to capture all the deserters, and sentenced them to decades of imprisonment.At the same time, the marshal and the president jointly announced the improvement of soldiers' treatment, wartime subsidies, etc., and each fleet strengthened patriotism education, and understood it with emotion and reason, which stabilized the soldiers' minds and basically prevented deserters. occur.

Lichma Federation, Marosena Star.

After the federal counterattack failed to achieve results, Marshal Werner deployed the fleet on the defense line, and the originally unknown Marosena star, because it was relatively close to the defense line, and was at the meeting point of several wormholes and traffic arteries, had already done so. Of course, it became the general headquarters of the front line.The space port of the entire planet is filled with all kinds of war materials, from food, medicine, clothing to weapons, ammunition, these materials are continuously transported from the rear to the warehouse, and sent to the front line after being distributed by the Ministry of National Defense .In the berths of the space port, almost all of the berths are various transport ships, which are requisitioned to transport these materials.

The most luxurious hotel in Marosena Cosmic Port was requisitioned by the military and became a temporary headquarters for the front line of operations.Because of the war, the hotel didn't have much business, and the government would pay enough for it. The hotel didn't complain too much, and the services it should have have not been reduced due to the expropriation.

At this time, in an office on the highest floor of the hotel, Werner turned his back to everyone, looked at the huge three-dimensional star map directly in front of him, and kept walking up the defense line.Werner, who is over 140 years old, already looks a little old and has a stooped figure, but the five golden stars on his shoulders are still shining brightly.Below him, several military officers stood together, ranging in age from high to low, with stars on their shoulders ranging from one to more than four.

After a long time, Werner sighed softly, looking a little weak.

He turned around and swept across the crowd. All the officers he watched were afraid to look into his eyes, and lowered their heads slightly.

"Yseras's defense is very tight, and it is understandable that they cannot detect the opponent's deployment. However, the intelligence investigation must not stop. No matter how hard we spend, we must get their deployment!"

An officer hesitated for a moment and said, "But Marshal, we have lost tens of thousands of excellent scouts over the past few months, but we still haven't found any useful information. Can we reduce the number of personnel?"

"Absolutely not!" Marshal Werner glared at him, and scolded, "There is an ancient law. Know yourself and your enemy before you can win every battle. Even if you can't detect the opponent's detailed deployment, you must know the movement of their fleet. If not , After the enemy has launched an attack, we are forced to face it, how can we win this kind of battle?"

After a pause, Werner's voice softened a little, and he said, "I understand that you care about the lives of those investigators. I think you also understand how important the role of intelligence is. In war, a little carelessness , what we will pay is the lives of millions or even tens of millions of soldiers. For the benefit of the entire country, we need the sacrifices of these scouts. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Marshal." Although the officer nodded in agreement, his voice was still somewhat unhappy.

Werner glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "My little grandson Tom is about to graduate from the Federal Military Academy in a few months, and his grades are very good. At that time, I will let him report to your intelligence department."

The officer was shocked and looked at the old man in front of him in disbelief.And several other officers also showed shocked expressions, and stepped forward to dissuade them.

"Marshal!" the officer in charge of intelligence said hastily, "This is absolutely impossible. Tom's grades in school are very good, and besides, his major is fleet command. You can't do this."

Werner waved his hand, "I've already decided on this matter, and Tom himself is willing. Don't worry, he will be a good intelligence agent. That's all for this matter. Do you have other things to report? ?”

Several officers glanced at each other and shook their heads.

"Okay, everyone go back. Remember to hurry up and train, we don't have much time left."

All the officers saluted in unison and walked out.Just as they were about to go out, the marshal's communicator suddenly rang.Hearing this voice, everyone stopped in their tracks, and when they turned around, their expressions became a little ugly.

The marshal's communications are usually transferred through the secretary.And now it rang directly on the marshal's communicator, which seemed to be a very serious matter.

Werner's expression changed, and he pressed the communicator with his right hand, his hands trembling a little.Finally, when he saw the line of words displayed on the screen, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely exciting.

"Hahaha" Werner suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed for a full minute.

Several officers looked at each other, not knowing what Werner saw.Just as he was about to ask, Werner looked excited and said loudly, "Good news, really good news! Let me know that today is a holiday. Except for the fleet on duty, everyone will have extra meals and a day off... Well, half a day is fine. Normal training in the morning, rest in the afternoon, and return to normal at seven in the evening."

Afterwards, except for the two deputy commanders-in-chief and the chief of staff, everyone left the office full of doubts.

Chief of Staff General Otto quickly closed the door and asked impatiently, "Marshal, did the Chu and Tang forces send troops?"

Seeing Werner nodding slightly, he said with a smile, "That's right. Just now, the fleet of the Chu and Tang Empire entered the border of our country via the Kaitla Kingdom."
