Him and their stars

Of course I heard it. I can even hear your fear now. I really want to sing a song to help you calm down. Yang Xiyi straightened his military hat and said seriously: "The voice is very clear. Senior officers and colleagues, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I am in Unity Fortress, and the communication is unobstructed. Everything is normal inside the fortress."

"Yes, it's been a long time. General Yang, I feel like your noble officer has gained some weight. I didn't expect that Xiaomi from Tuanjie Sai is also very nurturing." Fleet Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Tivington joked with a smile.

"It's the millet supporter of New Lushun." Yang Xiyi said with a smile: "Xiaoguan actually considered letting his subordinates farm on nearby asteroids, but he was scolded by the committee's inspectors general. Thinking about it, he was indeed a bit unprofessional. .”

Haha, is this a mockery of our frontline troops staying in the Circle of Miracles for too long and wasting food and pay? Chief of Staff Tivington looked at Yang Xiyi with a little more respect. It was really hard for her to imagine how such a sinister and low-emotional guy managed to get to where he was today.

As expected, people with real abilities are good! Even if you offend your colleagues and superiors, they still need you. Unlike ordinary mortals like us, who always need to consider the worldly world, we don't live so freely and freely.

The chief of staff glanced calmly at Commander Connery on his right, and indeed saw a hint of sullenness on the latter's majestic face.

Because of the quality of the communication, she had hidden her malicious gaze behind a business smile, and she still looked like a well-trained white-collar female elite who was good at office politics.

As for the commander, Admiral Conneris, his face was serious and somewhat calm and authoritative. If a year ago this man was more like a civilian bureaucrat, but now he has the dignity of a senior general.

This is actually understandable. As the saying goes, "Living in one's position to support one's career" and having won so many battles, even if you tie a dog in the command position, you can still develop the aura of a famous general. Don't worry about how the battle was fought. Anyway, from a legal perspective, military regulations, and even history, all the victories and gains achieved by the Earth Expedition Fleet in the New World were achieved under the command of Admiral Connors.

There are even some key political news circulating, and there is already discussion on the other side of the earth about whether to award the Marshal's Scepter to this general who has just passed his fifties but has made outstanding achievements.

Admiral Connors said: "Very good, smooth communication is enough. Then, the meeting began, mainly to discuss the follow-up plan of the expedition fleet... and some suggestions sent by Chief of Staff Yang yesterday. This is indeed the first time this year A high-level military meeting is a rare opportunity, and I hope you all can speak freely."

This is indeed the first high-level immediate military meeting held by the expedition fleet after breaking through the Demon's Throat Fortress.

After all, this is a new continent, and there is no mass wave communication network covering the entire galaxy. In fact, before the Battle of Dawn Starfield was officially launched, the only source wave terminal obtained by various countries in the New World was obtained by the Thirteenth Fleet from the lair of a large pirate who was completely destroyed for unknown reasons. It was still a small terminal that could only cover part of the starry sky. At best, it could only ensure smooth communication between New Yumen and New Lushun.

Therefore, obviously in the Milky Way, the nobles of the Sky Domain can watch Nephi's live entertainment programs in a timely manner, but in the New World, communication can only rely on roaring.

Even through the gravitational wave beacon that has been set up, communication between the Miracle Ring and the Unity Fortress can only be through letters.

However, the Earth United Fleet's exploration work on the Miracle Ring was quite effective. Colonel Long Yuan led the dispatch team and successfully found the second source wave terminal on the continental plate currently numbered 114. Although it is also a small one, it can still form a communication channel between the core of the Dawn Star Territory and the Unity Fortress at the pass.

The traffic is limited and the communication effect is not very stable. It is naturally impossible to watch high-definition movies or play large online games, but holding a meeting should not be a big problem.

Of course, due to some very practical national security considerations, the expeditionary force headquarters did not inform this matter, at least the opposite empire should not know about it yet.

In Yang Xiyi's view, this is probably the most reliable thing that the frontline fleet has done during this period.

At this time, Commander Conneris said to Yang Xiyi with a straight face: "Chief of Staff Yang, I have seen the combat plan you proposed."

He paused, then forced out a stiff smile: "Sorry, it's not a battle plan, just a backup strategy."

Why is it so difficult to laugh? Putting aside abilities, I remember that the former commander was a person who was very good at interpersonal communication, and his business smile had been cultivated to the point where it was like a spring breeze. Yang Xiyi thought about it, then clasped his fists and said:

"Yes, this is exactly the backup strategy. This is also the responsibility of our staff."

Commander Conneris looked at Yang with a calm expression: "The plan is very detailed and highly executable, thank you very much. However, even as a backup strategic plan, it is a little... um... "

He found that he, a top student with a Ph.D., could not find a reliable adjective for a while. Call it conservative, but the deployment of troops is really against common sense. However, although it may be said to be radical, it can hardly conceal the aura of defeatism.

Fortunately, Chief of Staff Tivington had already spoken for him: "Actually, your method is a bit beyond my common sense. I need you to explain it carefully."

"Yeah?"

Yang Xiyi's tone was still as gentle as ever, as gentle as if he was teaching primary school students. But to anyone who cares, it still sounds like he is not very polite to his boss.

Of course, Lieutenant General Tivington should be such a caring person, but she just looked up at Yang Xiyi again and said: "As you said in the plan, we should disperse the fleets concentrated in the Miracle Ring. Come. With the dreadnought as the core, we will divide it into three or four strategic clusters and set up defenses in the Dawn Star Territory, right?"

Yang Xiyi nodded and smiled: "This is a good summary by you."

These two don’t act anymore, right? The conflict is ready to be made public, right? Except for the commander, the generals present were a little restless.

Chief of Staff Tivington continued as if he could not feel any strangeness at all: "However, the Ring of Miracles should be the most valuable target in the Dawn Star Territory... However, it should be after we humans set foot on the galaxy, The most valuable target discovered, even more than those star gates. This is also the biggest conflict of interest between us and the empire. With the help of your Excellency the President, the diplomatic department, and the alliance..."

As the chief of staff spoke, he clasped his fists in one direction and saluted twice. Yang Xiyi felt that that should be the direction of the Earth and Nephi, but after all, they were both on the other side of the Milky Way, so they had to go to the same direction twice. However, the latter often clearly exceeds the former.

"The empire was forced to withdraw its fleet due to our diplomatic victory and the shock of the alliance. This is the biggest strategic opportunity since the founding of our country. Now, we have three times the strength of the imperial fleet in the Ring of Miracles, why should we give up such a rare opportunity? What about the strategic opportunities we see?”

"That's true! However, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, when will we wait until we have such an advantage? Next year, the year after, or for the rest of our lives? The expeditionary fleet is equivalent to more than 60% of the country's mobile strategic force. How can we maintain it for a long time? What about abroad? Can we really sustain this for a long time?"

Chief of Staff Tivington's face darkened. Of course, due to the quality of the communication, Yang Xiyi did not see the other party's expression and continued: "...As far as I know, the fleet maintenance fee is not a small expense. The Earth has applied to the alliance for the third time A special loan, this time the mortgage is for the Lanza system."

Major General Azisha Mallowan said quietly: "Without the opening of the Dawn Star Field, the Lanza Galaxy would be the richest galaxy we have discovered in the fifty years of exploration in the New World. This was discovered by Master Lan and General Yu Woolen cloth."

Her main job is an occult consultant, her attitude is very detached, and the angle of her speech is even more detached. Of course, precisely because of detachment, it feels depressing to a certain extent.

General Conneris forced a smile again: "Is this the news Chief of Staff Yang heard from his wife?"

Yang Xiyi did not deny it. This was a fact, and there was indeed nothing to deny.

"After the gravitational wave signal project from the New World Highway to the fortress is completed, the communication between the official and his wife will only be delayed for 48 hours."

Commander Conneris added: "Chief of Staff Yang, this is not an issue that our soldiers need to consider... However, since it is a meeting of this level, I can also disclose some information. According to the agreement signed between the Community Government and the Imperial Prime Minister's Office Agreement, one of the thirty-two first-phase cooperation projects, is to establish an autonomous immigration stronghold in the Ring of Miracles galaxy. When the government of the immigration point is formally established, we can evacuate. To be honest, this kind of treating allies as It feels very bad to be on guard against thieves, but I hope everyone will persist for a while. The earth has sacrificed a lot for us on the front line, and now is the time to test the loyalty of the will of the community's soldiers."

There is some truth in what he said. But I always feel like I am telling everyone that not only does Chief of Staff Yang have a wife who is a minister, but this Commander also has very strong relationships on Earth.

"...Where is it? What plate number is it on? Where is the sovereignty?" Lieutenant General Seyo asked.

"Not in the ring, but to build a space city. Its functions are customs inspection, trade distribution, and intra-system route management." Conneris said: "In terms of sovereignty, we will follow the example of the ring and most galaxies in the Dawn Star Domain and put it aside for the time being. However, the construction of the space city and subsequent municipal management will be jointly constructed by both of us. We and the Empire will set up a joint company to take charge of all this, and the construction and assembly of various equipment in the space city will be carried out nearby. This can promote Dawn Star The development of settlements that have already occurred in the domain. Waiting for the completion of the space city, the company management will directly transfer to municipal management.”

The people present were slightly startled, but Yang Xiyi seemed to understand something.

As for the colonial stronghold that already exists nearby, isn't it the only one in the Yaochi Galaxy called Marshal Li Gele? The predator slave labor camp that was originally liberated by the Earth Fleet has been directly transformed into a community city, and the vast majority of residents have obtained community citizenship. Last month, the ship carrying goods to that system even carried hundreds of thousands of newly printed passports.

"Yes. Marshal Li's factory in Grad can assume many responsibilities in the construction of our space city. In this way, we can also gain more say in this new autonomous government." Connor Reese Jiang showed a proud smile:

"In the final analysis, the sovereignty of the galaxy can be shelved, but the development should continue. The peace of a generation is hard-won. We don't have to rush for a while. We just need to leave opportunities and foundations for future generations. Everyone, we are still You have to believe in the wisdom of future generations."

As long as he doesn't talk about military affairs, General Connery's words are full of order, confidence and appeal. Now it seems that he is indeed more suitable to be a politician.

Yang Xiyi thought so too. And he also felt that such a watertight but progressive politician's thinking was indeed very suitable for a time when the world was at peace.

He sighed: "Your Excellency, Commander, is naturally far-sighted and can think about the world's major affairs from the heights of the temple. However, as a staff officer, I can only consider it from a military perspective and the most extreme perspective."

Chief of Staff Tivington almost laughed out loud, thinking to himself, do you know you are a soldier now? Who was it that just used key political news from the Earth to pressure people? Just when she was about to say something sarcastic, she suddenly felt her heart tremble and looked across the way, only to see that Major General Azisha Mallowan had already taken off her artificial eye and began to put it together slowly, as if it were real It looked like he was repairing equipment.

...Just, you psychics are the only ones who are noble, right? The corner of Ms. Chief of Staff's mouth twitched, but she finally stopped talking.

Yang Xiyi added: "I must point out to you that the Ring of Miracles galaxy is located inside the Dawn Starfield. Currently, there is only one gravity well connected to the MA3 route. Once something happens, the fleet gathered there will become a turtle in the urn. From here It is a place of death for the decisive battle.”

"...Chief of Staff, our army's strength is three times that of the imperial fleet. This is after they gathered all the fleets scattered in the Dawn Star Territory."

"Your Excellency, when you see the weakness, advance, and when you see the reality, stop. Don't underestimate the enemy because the three armies are a mass, don't take orders seriously and you will die!"

General Connors almost lost his temper. He actually didn't like Yang Xiyi using classical tactics on him. This would make him appear to be a very uneducated doctor. However, he still said patiently: "But if we disperse our troops, what will happen if we spread our troops?" Isn’t it a good opportunity to defeat the enemy one by one?”

"The transportation network within the Dawn Star Territory extends in all directions. The only pass is the Unity Fortress where Xiaguan is located, and the Devil's Eye that General Yu Lian penetrated. If a war really breaks out, fleets scattered around can freely attack the empire's gateway to The route and supply node of the Miracle Ring. Of course, you can also go to the Unity Fortress to meet with the defenders here and work together to seize the other half of the fortress. You can completely seal King Suliuka's fleet within the Dawn Star Territory. Here we are. At that time, we can even burn the war to the Gate of Glory. At that time, the initiative of the war is in our hands."

It was only at this time that Yang Xiyi's voice finally became somewhat solemn.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the victorious soldier wins first and then goes to war!" Yang Xiyi persuaded earnestly.

Admiral Conneris nodded and remained silent.

Yang Xiyi looked at the commander who was caught in the long examination, but he could still only see a blur of light and shadow that was not clear, and he could not even see clearly the other person's expression and changes in his eyes. He still wore a confident smile, but his heart felt cold, and he finally stopped talking and stopped talking.
