Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 517 Clarify the Focus
When Zhan Ruilin came out of the study, his expression was as usual.

After sending him away, Yu Linglong went into the study.

"Homeowner."

"I have already agreed with Zhan Ruilin that the third war zone will remain neutral."

"Neutral?" Yu Linglong frowned, Yu Tianba's words were too profound.

"I have already shown him that the Yu family supports Yang Yi, not him."

"Homeowner..."

"Even if I don't say it, he knows it. Obviously, if we treat him as a fool and still cover up this matter, it will only make things worse." Yu Tianba paused for a moment before saying, " Tell him directly, at least to show that we still have the sincerity to cooperate with him, and will not lie to him on important issues. In fact, he came to you to find out our position. Obviously, from now on, we He is no longer a cooperative relationship with him, but he is not an enemy, but has common interests, so our relationship can still be maintained, at least before the common interests disappear, he will not be our enemy, nor will he oppose us. "

"What common interests?" Yu Linglong asked directly.

"I have assured him that what happened in the Champagne galaxy will not appear in the jurisdiction of the third theater, that is, we will not touch those colonial galaxies that the third theater has taken over."

"But……"

"So, you have to make arrangements."

Yu Linglong frowned a few times, then nodded in agreement.

Of the fifteen colonial galaxies that have established autonomous governments, three belong to the Third War Zone, and the legions sent by the Third War Zone have been brought under control.Although Yu Tianba didn't say it clearly, but the meaning is very clear, the three colonial galaxies must be handed over to the third theater.

"Of course, we believe that Zhan Ruilin will be able to see the relationship, but we can't be unprepared."

"Understood, I will make arrangements."

In fact, even if Yu Tianba didn't say this, Yu Linglong knew that even if the relationship with Zhan Ruilin could be maintained, she still couldn't trust him absolutely.

"For us, what needs to be considered now is how to cooperate with Zhan Ruilin."

Yu Linglong frowned, waiting for Yu Tianba to continue.

"Although Zhan Ruilin has made a compromise and knows that cooperating with us, even if it's just to maintain a superficial friendly relationship, is the only way to preserve vested interests, but as the commander of the theater and No. 1 in the military department, he definitely cannot accept it. The coming changes. To put it bluntly, the wave of self-government is spreading. It seems that all vested interests, including the third war zone, will suffer unbearable losses. Zhan Ruilin cooperates with us not only to protect his own interests, but also to Wait and see what happens, and fight for more choices for yourself in this turmoil. Even if we believe that Zhan Ruilin will make a wise choice when the overall situation is settled, he will definitely give it a go before that."

"Patriarch means..."

"At the beginning, he promised to send an army to Fengxing Mars to assist Yang Yi in blocking the retreating army of silicon charms."

Yu Linglong was slightly taken aback, and looked at Yu Tianba in disbelief.

"Obviously, his purpose is not to help Yang Yi defend Fengxing, but to use the sent legion to take over Fengxing, so as to reap the fruits of victory."

"You promised?"

"Obviously, I have no reason to refuse."

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's settled and we have no choice."

Yu Linglong sighed secretly, although she felt very uncomfortable, but she also knew that Yu Tianba was right, they really had no choice.

"According to the results of the negotiation, Zhan Ruilin will dispatch fifty legions from places outside the home galaxy, and we will be responsible for sending these legions to Fengxing Mars. In addition, Zhan Ruilin promised to only send one army consisting of fifty troops to Fengxing Mars." A liaison regiment composed of military officers is responsible for liaison with the command of the third theater. These fifty legions will be commanded by Yang Yi after they arrive at Fengxing Mars, and the command of the third theater will not intervene in combat operations. However, Yang Yi has no personnel The right to appoint and remove, that is, only after obtaining the consent of the Third Theater Command can the commander of the army be replaced. If there are combat casualties, the Third Theater Command will appoint a new army commander to ensure that these regiments are under the control of the Third Theater.”

"This..." Yu Linglong hesitated for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, it would be a waste of help for these fifty legions. Although Yang Yi is nominally commanding the legion, the head of the legion is Zhan Ruilin. Yang Yi has no right to appoint or dismiss, so what can he do if these army commanders don't obey the command? Not only will Zhan Ruilin's arrangement not help, but it will also cause many unexpected troubles."

"So, do you think Yang Yi can rely on the fifty legions sent by Zhan Ruilin to defend Fengxing?"

Yu Linglong was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"Everything has both pros and cons. Whether it is good or bad depends on how to deal with it." Yu Tianba sighed and said, "We are not the only ones who know about the dirty things between the military headquarters and the nine theaters, but everyone knows about it." , especially after this incident, almost everyone has realized how serious the problem of the coexistence of nine war zones is. It is undeniable that people in power like Zhan Ruilin will definitely look out for their own interests, but we cannot use this to think that all The soldiers are all the same as him. At least in the grassroots units, most of the officers and soldiers are still interested in the interests of the Federation and the interests of everyone. Zhan Ruilin can send fifty legions to fight Mars, or he can pass fifty The legion commander controls fifty legions, so as to achieve the goal of mastering the battle situation. The question is, can he control 50 officers and soldiers of fifty legions? On the battlefield, what soldiers believe in is strength, and what they follow is the ability to lead them to victory. Thousands of years ago, when Generalissimo Xiao Wentian stepped forward, many people did not believe that he could lead the human army to block the army of silicon demons. Even we did not believe it. What happened later? After he won victory after victory , who else would doubt his ability? For Yang Yi, this is both a challenge and an opportunity. If he can't even subdue fifty legions, he is by no means the Xiao Wentian of this era."

Yu Linglong smiled wryly, but had nothing to say about it.

"Besides, Zhan Ruilin only sent fifty legions."

"Patriarch means..."

"Don't forget, we are responsible for sending these fifty legions to Fengxing Mars." Yu Tianba paused for a while, "In other words, the third war zone has no way to provide logistical support for these fifty legions. Judging from the current situation, Zhan Ruilin may just want to share some benefits from the battle of Fengxingxing, so as to ensure the status of the third theater. Simply put, he has made a clear judgment on the direction of the battle. I believe that in our With the full support of the Weaving Star Clan, Yang Yi can not only contain Fengxing, but also win a decisive victory here. At that time, Yang Yi will be the hero of the entire Human Federation, and those who participated in the battle to defend Fengxing will receive I agree. If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that the third war zone will be like the other war zones, and will gradually become corrupt after that. Of course, what Zhan Ruilin sent is only fifty legions, and these legions need to fight. All the supplies have to be provided by us.”

"This……"

"Don't you think it's up to us to decide what role these fifty legions can play?"

Yu Linglong frowned a few times, then nodded slightly.

"Of course, looking at it from another perspective, if Yang Yi can subdue these fifty legions, then Zhan Ruilin's move will indeed be of great help. At least in the short term, we won't be able to find fifty legions from other channels. No As expected, the battle on Fengxing's side will start soon."

Yu Linglong was startled secretly, not knowing what to say.

"Obviously, our previous judgment was too ideal." Yu Tianba sighed and said, "Based on the current situation, we will be able to regain all the colonial galaxies in less than a month. Unless the top war kings in Kutum want to Fight to the end with us, or the army of silicon charms will retreat at this time. I have to admit that Yang Yi's judgment on the battle situation is very accurate, but he is still too confident. If a month later, the army of silicon charms rushes to Fengxing , even with the [-] legions sent by Zhan Ruilin, the chances of keeping Fengxing Mars are still very slim. It would be better if there are a few more months, but we cannot expect the enemy to give us a few more months .”

"so what should I do now?"

"Actually, this is also the key point why I have to compromise with Zhan Ruilin."

Yu Linglong was taken aback for a moment, and when she suddenly understood, she looked at Yu Tianba in disbelief.

"Now, what we need is the power to help Yang Yi hold on to Fengxing. As for other issues, we can put them aside for the time being."

"But……"

"Zhan Ruilin has seen the overall situation clearly, and has made choices and compromises. There is no doubt that other theater commanders will not be stupider than him. For them, what is missing now is only a step, a step that allows them to take the next step." One step, and justifiably accepting the steps of a fait accompli."

"Homeowner..."

"Since Zhan Ruilin has made a good start, we should lower our airs." Yu Tianba forced a smile and said, "The key is to guard the beacon fire. If other theaters are willing to send troops to support, it would be great. Even if We don’t want to, and we can’t lose confidence because of it. In fact, this is also an opportunity to resolve the current crisis peacefully. As for what the final result will be, it’s not too late to wait until after the Battle of Mars.”

Yu Linglong sighed and nodded to show that she understood what Yu Tianba meant.

"During this time, you have to work hard. As I said at the beginning, our purpose is to help Yang Yi guard the beacon fire, and the rest can be ignored for the time being. When contacting other theater commanders, you have to show our sincerity. But don’t get your hopes up too much. Anyway, we only have one month. Even if we can get enough aid, we may not be able to get the results we want.”

After Yu Tianba said that, Yu Linglong couldn't say anything more.

In fact, this is also her point of view.If Yang Yi failed to hold Feng Xingxing, then no matter what they did, they would not be able to get the desired result.
