Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 402 The Difficulty of Changing
For the next three days, Yang Yi stayed at the theater headquarters and didn't go anywhere.Although he is only a soldier, his status is obviously much higher than before. He lives in a single dormitory that only generals are entitled to enjoy, and there are special orderlies to take care of daily life.However, Yang Yi was not idle either. In addition to being responsible for the reception of Otis and other female warriors, he also wrote a report on envoys to the Hidden Elders.

In fact, this is what gave Yang Yi a headache.

If Lin Feng was around, Yang Yi wouldn't need to worry about such a copywriting at all.It's a pity that Lin Feng didn't come back with him, and Shen Chengwen returned to the headquarters of the Special Investigation Brigade the day after he returned to the theater headquarters.Lin Feng did not come back, and now the special investigation team is temporarily led by Shen Chengwen.

Of course, during these three days, Yang Yi had a better understanding of the battle situation.

After breaking through the Greenwich line of defense, the army of silicon demons first swept away the neighboring star system, and then pushed forward to the home galaxy.Although the human legion made desperate resistance, it didn't work at all.When the mobilization of the nine theaters had not been completed, and the deployment had not even had time to adjust, let alone sending troops to rescue other colonial galaxies, even the reserve team had not been formed before the army of Silicon Demons attacked the home galaxy.

The result can be imagined, facing the huge army of silicon demons, the human legion could only retreat, and abandoned the military strongholds outside the home galaxy one by one.

Even so, there were still many Legions that failed to withdraw to their home system in time.

When surrounded by the army of silicon demons, only one third of the legions in the third war zone returned to the home system, and the situation in other war zones was even worse.Although war mobilization has already begun, a large number of civilians have been recruited into the army, and hundreds of new legions have been formed in the third war zone alone, but among these recruited soldiers, except for a few retired soldiers, all the others are genuine recruits, and it will take at least a year. to complete the training.In the home galaxy at that time, there were not many legions that could be used, and even fewer were able to fight the army of silicon demons.Based on the situation at the time, if the army of silicon demons did not stop doing nothing and launched an attack immediately, the Human Federation would have been defeated long ago.

However, after surrounding the home galaxy, the army of silicon demons did not launch an attack immediately.

Prior to this, almost everyone, including Zhan Ruilin, believed that it was the end of the battle for the Silicon Charm army to advance to the home galaxy, not to mention attacking the home galaxy, it would be great to besiege the home galaxy.Besides, there are still a large number of human legions who have not returned to their home galaxy. They are fighting against the invading army of Silicon Demons in nearby star systems. There are still many warships operating outside, attacking the supply lines of the army of Silicon Demons.In addition, the war has broken out in an all-round way. Other civilizations of the Galactic Alliance may send troops to join the war at any time. The Silicon Magic Alliance will inevitably have concerns, so they will leave some mobile troops and make adjustments to their deployment. They may not be able to attack the home galaxy as planned.

These judgments became the basis for the military's defensive deployment.

In the next few months, the number one task of the military department is to recruit troops, train the recruits, and then send the formed legions to various places to garrison.

To put it simply, the military arranges defensive deployments according to the Silicon Charm army's concentration of all forces to attack the home galaxy.

As for the battle outside the home galaxy, it is not within the scope of the military's consideration.To put it bluntly, the military department has abandoned all colonized galaxies.Perhaps in the eyes of Marshal Zhan Ruilin and others, the greatest value of colonizing the galaxy is to contain the enemy's troops, so that the Silicon Charm Alliance cannot mobilize enough troops to launch an attack in a short period of time, thus gaining more time for preparations and strengthening the strength of the home galaxy. Defensive deployment.

Obviously, no one thought that the army of silicon charms adopted the tactics of encircling the spot to fight for aid, but the "aid" had not yet arrived.

What's more, the passive defensive tactics adopted by the Human Federation greatly contributed to the arrogance of the enemy, and it did not help to reverse the situation of the battle. On the contrary, it blinded one's own eyes and ears, and not only lost the war The initiative, even unable to make an accurate judgment on the battle situation.The most obvious thing is that before Yang Yi came back, no one knew that the Silicon Charm army had assembled so many troops in the Crete galaxy, let alone that it was Lombardo's army. Naturally, it was impossible to think that the Silicon Charm army was about to attack Western Region.As for the situation in other directions, the military department is even more smeared, and still believes that the army of silicon magic will attack the home galaxy in the near future.

Of course, the human legion is not useless.

In the past few months, those legions and fleets that have not returned to their home galaxy have been fighting with the Silicon Charm army. Although they have lost more and won less, they have played some positive roles, at least they can be used by the military for publicity , Play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army and boosting morale.

Although Yang Yi is just a small soldier, he knows that the most important thing at present is to change the defensive tactics from passive defense to active defense.Even if the war mobilization has not been completed, there are not many available troops, and the new legions are the main ones, most of them are recruits, but only by actively counterattacking can they grasp the initiative in the war, and can also contain the main force of the Silicon Demon army, thus turning the tide of the battle.

There are many people who have a similar understanding, including Lin Liexun.

Before Yang Yi returned, Lin Liexun proposed to take proactive measures to deal with the menacing silicon demon army based on the information sent back by the garrisons in various places, such as dispatching a fleet to attack the supply line of the silicon demon army, establishing military strongholds in the colonial galaxy, and organizing the colonization of the galaxy. Civilian armed forces resisted.However, Lin Liexun's suggestion was not adopted by the military department, to be precise, it was not completely adopted by the military department.Because Lin Liexun refused to give up at this point, in the end, the military gave Lin Liexun a chance to go to the colonial galaxy and authorized him to organize a militia to resist.As a result, Lin Liexun went to Crete and started to form a militia army.

However, Lin Liexun's understanding is completely different from Yang Yi's.

At that time, Lin Liexun proposed to adopt a proactive defense strategy, the fundamental purpose was still to defend the home galaxy, and his starting point was the same as others, thinking that the army of silicon demons would first capture the home galaxy, and then march into other regions, and did not see clearly the enemy's strategic deployment.

Now, the situation is very clear.

The key is not whether they can defend their home galaxy, but whether they can stop the army of silicon demons from advancing to the hinterland of the Southern Alpha galaxy.

If not, the consequences will be disastrous.

Among other things, when the homeland is threatened, all civilizations in the Galactic Federation, including the seven top-level civilizations, will take self-protection as their primary purpose.At that time, even if the Galactic Federation enters a state of war and all civilizations start mobilizing for war, there may not be a civilization that sends troops to support the Human Federation.What's more, after the most critical Northern Region [-] was captured by the Silicon Demon Army, the Southern Alpha Galaxy is no longer in danger. As long as the Silicon Demon Army advances fast enough, it will be able to catch up with the seven top civilizations before they complete their war mobilization. A decisive victory was achieved.Even if the Galactic Federation cannot be completely defeated, it can force the Galactic Federation to seek peace.By this time, even if the Human Federation is still fighting, it will undoubtedly be defeated.In fact, as long as the blockade of the home galaxy lasts for a period of time, such as several decades, the Human Federation will be defeated without a fight, because the resources of the home galaxy cannot meet the survival needs of all residents.More importantly, foreign aid has not arrived for a long time, and the morale and fighting spirit of the human legion will soon return to zero.If you don't even have the courage to fight on, even if all the people are soldiers, I'm afraid it won't help, and defeat is only a matter of time.

There are not many people who realize this, but there are not many people who have the ability to change the status quo.

Leaving aside the contradictions in the nine theaters, even if the military headquarters integrates the nine theaters, and the nine marshals work together, it may not be able to change the status quo.

It's very simple. To change defensive tactics, you must first adjust your defensive deployment.

Previously, the military took several months to complete the deployment, but now it takes more time to change the deployment.

You must know that what guards the home galaxy is not a legion, nor is it a unit of a theater, but the entire force mobilized by the nine theaters.

Although the size of the legion and the deployment of troops are the top secrets of the military, not to mention Yang Yi, I am afraid that even ordinary generals do not know. The total number of legions in the army must be more than [-].

Even if only a third of the legion had to be redeployed, it would take a lot of time.

In addition, you have to consider the army of silicon ghosts that are watching outside, so the adjustment and deployment should be as stealthy as possible, and it is best not to be noticed by the enemy.This means that there cannot be too many legions to be transferred each time, and the time required to complete the deployment is obviously longer.

After thinking about this, Yang Yi also knew that it wasn't that Zhan Ruilin and other high-ranking commanders didn't want to change, but that the current situation didn't allow any mistakes.Simply put, as long as the situation does not deteriorate, those policymakers would rather maintain the status quo than risk changing anything.Don't forget, the army of silicon demons has not yet launched an attack, the home galaxy has not yet been attacked, and the human alliance is not in danger of extinction for the time being.If due to the adjustment of deployment, the army of Silicon Charm launches a general attack, and the human legion is unable to block the enemy's attack, no one can bear the result.Even Zhan Ruilin and other theater commanders did not dare to make such a decision hastily.

The problem is, if you don't change, the results will still not be much better.

Yang Yi also sighed very much, because no matter who it is, they will choose to wait in this situation and will never make any changes hastily.

Of course, Yang Yi was just a small soldier, so it would be great to be able to put forward his own opinions in front of Zhan Ruilin.As for what to change, it is obviously not something he can do.In fact, this is not something he should consider.For him, the most important thing now is to implement the alliance with the Weaving Star Clan.If necessary, he had to meet up with the Star Soul Empress and bring the Legion of the Weaving Star Clan back to the home galaxy.

Although three days were short, Yang Yi felt that it was extremely long, like three years had passed.

Fortunately, Zhan Ruilin didn't make him wait any longer.
