Him and their stars

Faced with such a vicious joke, if it were in the past, Chief of Staff Mkawa would have started to remonstrate with a straight face, but at this time, he just sighed quietly: "Seeing that Your Excellency is still so cool and unrestrained As you wish, I am extremely happy. However, there are other problems this time."

The chief of staff nodded to Luo Zeshi, who opened the terminal directly and called up an electronic document.

"The three imperial guard fleets stationed in the Sky Territory have canceled their vacations? Are they preparing for an expedition? This was already last week, and you didn't know until today?"

"It can only be said that when the empire mobilized, it also activated the most stringent confidentiality mechanism." Luo Zeshi said.

"...Sure enough, everyone in the National Unification Committee is just a loser. What a shame!" Yu Lian couldn't help but curse. He now discovered that in terms of intelligence efficiency alone, the efficiency of the community's military and political intelligence agencies was not as good as that of the People's Federation's public relations department. However, the People's Federation's intelligence center has always been focused on business and trade.

Sure enough, we should set up our own intelligence agency.

"Both the Fist of Glory Fortress and the Golden Lance Fortress are not accessible to outsiders at will, and it is even more difficult to notice the fleet's movements." Chief of Staff Mkawa said something fair.

Yu Lian thought to himself that not only had I been close to those two fortresses, but I had also been to the precision military factory area next to them, and I had killed seven in and seven out.

"However, they still discovered that six dreadnoughts and four Phoenix aircraft carriers were missing from the Tianyu garrison fleet. The National Defense Committee and the people from the Military Intelligence Department analyzed it and believed that these fleets should be dispatched in advance to supplement the fleets stationed in the We’re at the Fifth Fleet of the Imperial Guard at Stone Eagle Castle Fortress.”

The Stone Eagle Castle is one of the twelve largest sky castles in the empire. Outside the fortress is the territory of the Bakwe Republic and the Kingdom of Katai. Starting from here, traveling day and night, it only takes a month for the imperial guard fleet to reach beyond Earl I Star Gap.

The Ninth Fleet, which guards the Nebula border on the far coast, can still rely on the fortress to maintain its invincible position against the combined fleets of the Catai Cats and the Bakvi Birdmen. But if there is an Imperial Guard fleet reinforced with capital ships on the opposite side, we will have almost no chance of winning.

"So, is this urging us to speed up the progress?" Yu Lian asked.

"There is no way to go faster." Chief of Staff Mkawa said: "Moreover, the imperial fleet has definitely not left the port yet. The imperial mediation mission is said to have made phased progress, and the overall situation is still stable."

Yu Lian continued to read the message: "...Well, the imperial mission entered the Saide Fortress in Earl Star Gap of I, and are they talking about the third round? Their request is for us to hand over the defected personnel? Is this what I want? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

The chief of staff said helplessly: "I just found out about this. The military intelligence information we saw before only mentioned that the situation in the Far Coast Nebula was tense. It was not until today that the reason was revealed."

Well, things like internal military information are said to be confidential and can only be accessed by senior civil servants and military officers, but there is still a difference in the level of confidentiality after all. For example, the defection of important military and political officials from an enemy country... ah no, trying to escape for freedom is of course not easy for outsiders to do, let alone to the frontline generals, so it can only remain in high-level backroom politics.

Yu Lian estimated that when he actually took office as the military adviser to the Presidential Office and the deputy director of operations, he would be considered a part of the backroom politics.

Lord Gonggun on the other side of the earth probably felt that the matter had settled down, so he notified the task force.

"Hahaha, it took a whole week, and it was only in the third round that we finally found out. Are the Imperial devils idle recently?"

Rozes echoed: "Yes, this is abnormal. What is even more abnormal is that the empire said that if we are willing to hand over the defectors, they will order the Kingdom of Ketai and the Republic of Bakvi to do something to us. Pay war reparations.”

It is indeed filled with evil spirit. When did the arrogant Tiriro people become so reasonable?

The chief of staff said: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' analysis believes that it is the Cats and Birds who have to pay compensation anyway, and it is not the empire that needs to be embarrassed. On the contrary, Tianyu needs to cooperate with us to ensure the advancement of the development of the Dawn Star Territory. Go down."

Yu Lian remained noncommittal and continued to scan the report. However, when his gaze paused on a row of names, the expression on his face immediately froze.

Of course, Chief of Staff Mkawa and classmate Luo Zeshi noticed Yu Lian's reaction and immediately stopped supplementing the explanation.

"It's actually Herrito Hewen? These bird shit things were filled with evil rice juice! Why are you talking now?" A few seconds later, Yu Lian gritted his teeth and broke the silence in the captain's room.

"Yes, Herito Hewen. Peleliu Hewen's brother." The chief of staff felt that Yu Lian seemed to be overreacting.

"Before, he served as the mayor of Tianyu Yuhuai City, and later transferred to the Generalissimo's Mansion to serve as the director of the Logistics Inspection Department and the deputy director of the Shipping Coordinator's Office. Er, sir, you should know him."

"Even if you don't know him, you should know his brother." Luo Zeshi said: "It was because of your encouragement that Peleliu Hewen embarked on the path of resistance! Now, Franmore is free Although the army has been surrounded and suppressed several times, it has always continued to fight."

Chief of Staff Mkawa also showed an expression of admiration: "Inspired by you, the Sumi Liberation Front, Woflin Chapter, Razakai Resistance Alliance and other long-standing imperial rebels have all risen again, but they have all been affected by The empire brutally suppressed it. Only the Free Army of Franmore is still fighting unyieldingly. Moreover, I have also heard that although other rebel organizations have been suppressed, there are still fires active. Your Excellency, your followers They are all heroes!"

"I'm just an ordinary divinely chosen champion. Please don't treat me like the manipulative mastermind behind the scenes." Yu Lian said angrily: "The problem is, Peleliu is Peleliu, and his brother It’s his brother.”

"...Uh, but, because Peleliu River's Free Army is very active, his brother Herrito has also been implicated. Intelligence shows that he has been suspended from duty for a year, and is under strict residential surveillance, and is also conducting Three rounds of review were conducted.”

Yu Lian sighed. Ever since the ambassador became Mr. Hulk, who had a doctorate degree from the Empire and had the title of foreign academician, he had no confidence in the intelligence level of the Tianyu Embassy.

"Yes, so after three rounds of scrutiny and close monitoring, he, a military and political official who had served as the mayor of the Imperial City and the director of the Generalissimo's Office, was able to successfully escape from prison and escape to the Far Coast Nebula 7,000 light-years away. "?" Yu Lian snorted coldly.

The two exchanged a look. The chief of staff said: "Herito Hewen told us a smuggling route."

"He and his escape partners are still detained in Saide Fortress, and we are still reviewing them," said Luo Zeshi.

"Then let me tell the Earth side, please be sure to strengthen the supervision of the other party, especially don't let it run into the imperial mission." Yu Lian copied his hands and said: "If the two sides really reach a consensus, please also do so under the witness of a third party. Make an exchange.”

Although the two still felt that Yu Lian might have overreacted, out of respect for the (former) commander, they still nodded and accepted the order.

"Your Majesty will inform the Earth side immediately." Chief of Staff Mkawa just said this, and then thought about it and added: "However, the Earth side will most likely ignore it, so we should inform Lieutenant General Sylvester directly. Bar."

So, who said that housekeeper-type chiefs of staff are old-fashioned? Isn’t this emotional intelligence very high?

"Is there still nothing going on over there in the outer ring?" Yu Lian asked again.

"It's calm." Luo Zeshi replied: "The combined fleets of the two countries opposite the outer ring fleet have always maintained themselves within four jumps from Gibraltar. They are so restrained that they don't even look like cat people."

"There are no new instructions from Earth?"

"No. So we can only maintain the original planned course." Luo Zeshi said.

As a result, the scene suddenly fell into silence again.

"Anyway, from a common sense analysis, it should be impossible for us to encounter a hostile fleet within the high seas." Chief of Staff Mkawa said: "However, there is always nothing wrong with keeping the fleet on complete alert. . Until tomorrow when I meet with the navigator of the coordinating ministerial state, I will ensure that the officers and soldiers are ready for combat shifts."

"Even after meeting with the navigator and the fleet entering the Hanwang Star Gorge, the combat readiness shift cannot be slackened at all." Yu Lian ordered: "Suffering soldiers, call me a name... Admiral Ferragut will take charge."

His old man is the commander. If he doesn't come to bear the burden, who will? I, Yu Lian, am just an ordinary assistant to the Presidential Palace, and I took a smooth sailing trip back to China.

"I'm afraid his old man can't afford it. Anyone with a discerning eye knows whose order it will be." Luo Zeshi said: "In addition, will it cause any misunderstanding among the Tuhan people?"

"It doesn't matter. If Ku Yiku is a friend of the Tuhan people, the commander should bear the blame. Isn't he a good friend of the Tuhan people's marshal?" Yu Liandao said.

A leader who can take the blame is a good leader. Yu Lian felt that he had turned General Ferragut into a good leader, and he had to thank himself.

Before the two of them retreated, Yu Lian added: "Remember, you can never be too careful. I am not afraid of your jokes. I have felt a chill down my spine since I entered the high seas. Even if you don't believe me as a commander You must also trust the psychic’s sixth sense.”

At this moment, somewhere in the Grand High Seas, the Imperial fleet, with six Imperial Flame Dragon-class dreadnoughts and four Phoenix-2 aircraft carriers as its core, was shuttled through this magnificent blue nebula, at the most inconspicuous edge. On the route.

They are like the Kraken sea monster with sharp teeth and tentacles, stalking silently in the deep darkness of the void that constitutes the star sea, moving forward, searching for the presence of prey.
