Him and their stars

The so-called 3rd Patrol Fleet is of course under the direct command of the war zone, and is responsible for the escort of the transport fleet from Nantianmen to Saide Fortress. If you round it up, it can be considered a member of Yu Fleet.

There is no way, even in wartime, there will be no lack of smugglers and pirates infiltrating the waterways in the hinterland. Or, it is precisely because the war is so fierce that it is about to wipe out the sun in the sky that smugglers and pirates want to live a good life.

Of course, after all, the fleet responsible for the rear escort work is not large, that is, seven or eight small and medium-sized old-model ships, and the largest warship is just a light cruiser.

This kind of fleet can repel the main force of the Imperial Fleet. Its abstract and shocking degree is no longer Yu Lian's single-handed piercing of the dreadnought with a javelin, but Mr. Qi's knife chopping the Titan.

"Yes, I couldn't believe it before, but it is true. This is a report sent by the 3rd Patrol Fleet and the forward reconnaissance station at the same time. Now that I think about it, the patrol fleet is actually your subordinates, you should believe in their abilities." Feifei smiled.

The patrol fleet and the reconnaissance station do not belong to the same department, which does avoid the possibility of false military intelligence to a certain extent.

"In addition, the deep space detector captured the mass signal of the Imperial Dreadnought in the gravity well, which is the Flame Dragon class. It is almost certain that it is the Tuosen Fleet."

In fact, as early as 12 hours ago, the Tuosen Fleet had passed through the corridor and arrived at the General Lu Galaxy, becoming the first Imperial fleet to land on the territory of the Empire's Far Coast Star Region. If they suddenly accelerated their movement towards the galaxy at the entrance of the Earl I Star Gorge, they might really be able to complete the encirclement and interception before the Yulian Fleet moved to the South Heaven Gate or the Shanhai Channel.

Of course, the facts proved that they did not move.

Not only did they keep their troops still, but the fleet even shrank at the entrance of the gravity well, looking like it could return to the corridor at any time, just like a rabbit poking its head out of the hole.

This is not surprising at all.

After the advance meeting, the (paper) combat power of the Yu Fleet has reached more than 1.5 times that of any Imperial Army squadron. If the bonus of hero units is taken into account, it may be twice as much.

If you really come to play outflanking and intercepting, you still need to take great risks. The Imperial Fleet is of course likely to arrive at the scene at the fastest speed and become the most important puzzle in this encirclement. Of course, it is more likely to be hit hard by the Earth Fleet that is forced into a desperate situation, suffer heavy losses, and die on the spot.

Of course, if you can show the spirit of fearlessness of sacrifice, Vice Admiral Tuo Sen still has a high probability of blocking the Earth Fleet at the mouth of the I Earl Star Gorge and persist until his own reinforcements arrive from the rear.

Obviously, not every Imperial general must have the awareness of sacrificing himself to fulfill the public.

However, it is okay to hesitate, but what happened later was something Yu Lian had never expected.

Two hours after the Imperial Fleet arrived at General Lu's galaxy, the kittens and puppies of the Third Patrol Fleet also arrived. They did not hesitate, and like the young David challenging the giant Goliath, they charged at more than 200 Imperial warships.

Facing this group of challengers who posed no threat at all. The Imperial Fleet was silent for half a minute, and actually retreated back to the corridor without firing a single shot.

Neither side actually suffered any losses, but the fact was that a small rear fleet forced back a fleet of the Empire - being called a "fleet" was also the Imperial standard. The size of this fleet was enough to destroy more than half of the small countries in the universe.

In short, this was a surprising victory, and Yu's fleet did take the opportunity to gain a lot of transfer time. Of course, considering that the development was too abstract, it was not a surprise, but a shock.

"The abstract Imperial people are really too abstract." Yu Lian frowned in distress. At this time, he had begun to suspect whether the Imperial devils were setting a trap.

Feifei didn't find it strange, and smiled: "I've seen the resume of Lieutenant General Tuosen, he is a Letalin."

"Just because he is a Letalin, shouldn't he make some achievements?"

"But he is over a hundred years old this year, and his elder brother is an alchemy consultant for the Beiduo King's family, and has served three Beiduo kings." Feifei said.

Oh, he is old and has a background. That's very reasonable.

Who said that the Imperial Army has no personal connections and takes advantage of seniority? In other words, if this feudal military (cat) country system didn't have these problems, it would be really funny.

Yu Lian thought about it and nodded: "I understand, all the soldiers of the Third Patrol Fleet. Each person should have a big medal."

"Yes, worthy of being your subordinate." Feifei smiled.

There was something else in the words, but Yu Lian, who was used to the yin and yang, showed that he was emotionally stable and could even hear respect from it. Yu Lian commented in a mature manner: "It's just that he was a little reckless."

"The decision was made by Lieutenant Pao, the operations staff officer of the 3rd Patrol Fleet, who graduated last year. He successfully persuaded his superiors."

"What a déjà vu scene. Is he still a member of the Lionheart Society?"

Feifei nodded.

"An excellent young man. But I still say that he was a little reckless."

"If he fails, he is reckless, but if he succeeds, he is a fearless legend. In addition, I personally think that it is because some unprepared superiors have been encouraging his followers."

"That unprepared officer will take this as a compliment." Yu Lian laughed and hugged Feifei and put his face close to her.

"... Didn't we agree to address each other by their positions when working?"

"I've always addressed each other by their positions."

Feifei shook her head helplessly and pressed her lips on Yu Lian's mouth, then gently pushed him away and said in a businesslike tone: "In addition, the senior officers of the fleet are all online, waiting for you."

"That's great, it's like they're waiting for me to give you good news to go with your drinks."

Ten minutes later, when Yu Lian came to his loyal military meeting and shared the good news with everyone, he immediately attracted a burst of laughter, and the scene was immediately filled with a happy atmosphere.

Well, if it is really idealism, with everyone's current morale, they will definitely rush all the way to the Heavenly Realm.

It's not impossible for them to rush a ship to the Heavenly Realm.

Yu Lian was infected by this atmosphere: "Look, what did I say? Oh, yes, the courage and honor of the feudal slave owners, in the final analysis, are just like their fancy medals, which are just a kind of decoration."

The senior officers of Yu Fleet continued to laugh, and the atmosphere of joy on the scene became even more high.

Only the holographic projection of Chief of Staff Mkawa on the opposite side twitched the wrinkles on his face embarrassedly, with a face full of struggle.

Yu Lian waved his hand helplessly: "Chief of Staff, I should be boomeranging again? Don't mind, just say it. I'm used to it."

"Sir, I just received news from the Earth. Congress decided to award you the Guardian of the Free Blue Star Medal."

Although it is the highest honor medal of the community that must be approved by Congress before it can be awarded, Yu Lian's mood did not even have basic ups and downs, leaving only the feeling of "ah, that's it".

By the way, why do I feel so strong sense of déjà vu? How many times have I encountered such a strong sense of déjà vu today?

Feifei bowed to Yu Lian and congratulated him: "So, this is your third Blue Star Guardian Medal."

Yu Lian showed a grateful expression: "I am so grateful... By the way, who was the last person to receive three Blue Star Guardian Medals?"

"You are the first. Even Marshal Victoria Li only has two."

Yu Lian's sense of déjà vu has become concrete, and then naturally transformed into the outline of the thick-browed kissing maniac, and a physical discomfort suddenly rippled in his heart.

So, his emotion was even more beyond words: "Oh, that's really great. If you add the medals sent by various allies, my medals are probably enough to be used as bulletproof vests, right?"

"The ones from the Empire can be used as heart guards. They use the most materials. When you received the medal, the Empire was also an ally." Feifei smiled.

"So, should I order a new dress for myself?"

"You really should order a new dress for yourself." Chief of Staff Mkawa said with a serious face. After all, he is an officer with the attributes of a director of instruction. He always has this expression, and he is very serious even when he is not serious.

Has the old chief of staff let himself go a little recently? At this age, he suddenly unlocked the attributes of a deadpan comedian. Isn't it too disrespectful to those young comedians who have learned crosstalk for ten years and can't even speak coherently?

The chief of staff continued seriously: "Along with the medal certificate, there is also an appointment letter to promote you to general."

This time, Yu Lian's mood finally fluctuated, although it was not big.

Just as he was about to speak, Feifei added: "Don't think about it, you are indeed the youngest admiral in the history of the Blue Star Community. Of course, before that, you were the youngest lieutenant general, major general and brigadier general."

"The history of the community is not long, and this kind of record does not have any special significance, and it will not unlock any achievements." Yu Lian waved his hand unhappily: "Chief of Staff, the key issue is that what the Earth sent should not only be medals and promotions, right?"

"There are also orders. He hopes that we..." The chief of staff just started to speak, and then he stopped talking immediately, with a sly smile on his lips.

This is also the first time that Yu Lian has seen his old chief of staff, who is the type of training director, show such a slick expression. He always feels that the old general seems to have figured out some major psychological issues. Recently, his expression has become more and more vivid. If you don't know, you might think that he is talking about a sunset.

"I have already informed the National Defense Committee that you are studying the twenty-five habits of star dragons on the captured dragon ship. This is a major issue directly related to our national defense development strategy. We cannot disturb you now. However, we will convey the order of the National Defense Committee to you as soon as possible."

Yes, of course, Yu is on the Dragon Ship Tour.

It is indeed a fresh experience to preside over the command of the entire army on the Empire's warship for the first time.

He fiddled with the crystal stone dragon pattern on the seat with interest. Just when he was about to ask what the order from the "National Defense Committee" was, he couldn't help laughing: "Very good, anyway, the defeat of the Tuosen fleet objectively gave us very precious time. Then, according to the original plan, the entire fleet will immediately head to the mountains and seas..."

"Your Excellency." The chief of staff reminded.

By the way, according to the rules, our current military meeting should be recorded and videotaped and sent to the earth, so we should be more cautious.

Yu Lian was thinking while glancing at Colonel Singh, the intelligence chief, who was sitting in the corner.

This former secret policeman of the Commission seemed to sense the commander's wooden pipe, and quickly raised his head and chest with a solemn face, looking like a tough soldier, and he looked like a professionally trained soldier. In fact, this guy should still be a formal member of the National Defense Committee Intelligence Bureau.

Yu Lian retracted his gaze and changed his words: "Yes, Nan Tianmen and Earth need reinforcements. The entire fleet will be dispatched immediately and move to the direction of Nan Tianmen. Of course, the Empire's Tuosen Fleet is in the General Lu Galaxy, and there are more enemy fleets following us in the Earl I Corridor behind us. You can adjust the destination according to the actual situation. When the general is away, the military and civilians will not be affected. This is a truth that the ancients in the cold weapon era understood. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Everyone responded.

"If there are any more orders from Earth, tell them that I will reply. I am the commander! Whether it is the Military Command Headquarters, the National Defense Committee, or the Presidential Office, there is no reason to bypass the order."

"Understood!" Everyone nodded loudly, with a resounding voice.

Of course, until this time, Yu Lian did not ask what the order sent by the National Defense Committee and the promotion letter was, and everyone treated this question as non-existent.

However, this did not delay Yu Lian from starting to regard himself as a general. He is now only one step away from being a legitimate marshal.

Yu Lian ordered again: "Major General Bai Ziqi, be a good liaison between the military and the people."

The holographic projection of "Tia" also nodded and saluted Yu Lian solemnly.

To be honest, this carefree girl is really not suitable to be a general, but more suitable to be a ranger. But this time, her attitude finally has a bit of the flavor of a senior officer, at least not so carefree.

Some people present showed a strange expression.

To put it bluntly, Major General Taia is just a killer who charges into battle. How can he be responsible for the liaison between the military and the people? In this way, the operation of Commander Yu is self-evident.

"You may still be pursued by the imperial army on the road, but this possibility has been reduced to the lowest point. Whether you can successfully reach the destination depends on your efforts. The subsequent command of the fleet will be handed over to Chief of Staff Mkawa. When we reach the destination..."

"I will cooperate with the new commander." Chief of Staff Mkawa said immediately.

The so-called new commander is of course the one with the surname Yang. If the two fleets of Yu can go smoothly, at least the situation in the New World will be alive. Of course, the premise of all this is that the Yu fleet can successfully enter the New Shenzhou, and Yang Xiyi, who has been out of contact for some time, can also successfully return to the Tower of Babel.

However, Yu Lian never doubted this. Or rather, he could not have the slightest doubt.

"Very good. Then, everyone, take your positions."

The projections of the senior officers of the Yu Fleet at the scene fell into silence. The atmosphere was no longer as cheerful as before, and even had a hint of sadness. Each of them knew the follow-up battle plan, and each of them was convinced by the young commander. They all knew that this was also the plan with the highest success rate.

However, when it came to the time of execution, complex emotions were still intertwined in everyone's mind.

They all knew that their actions were using their commander as bait.

But at this time, Yu Lian had already stood up and said loudly: "Hehe, if you continue to act like such a child with your status, it would be hypocritical. The universe is big, but I can hear news from you all the time, and of course you are the same. The fortune teller said that I will achieve success with the sacrifice of thousands of people, but I disagree. Life or death is up to everyone to decide."

He glanced at his comrades and saluted them first: "See you in the new Shenzhou in the near future!"
