Chapter 438: Jeppen's Pair

Miyamoto received the report of the Sixth Legion only 72 hours after the Battle of Bermuda, and the First Detachment of the Sixth Legion, which he personally commanded, did not hear any news for a full 24 hours after the jump.

Perhaps because he firmly believed that the fleet under his command would not be lost for any other reason because of the poor communication affected by the magnetic force of the star field, the headquarters of the Sixth Army led by Tanifu Village was not particularly nervous, but called every two hours, and after 48 hours of continuous questioning, he still could not get any feedback, and the proud Admiral Tanifu Village also had to put down his head and report this strange phenomenon to the commander-in-chief Miyamoto Tsuyoshi in charge of this battle.

Rao was just Miyamoto's calmness, and he couldn't help but stand on the spot after receiving this unexpected message.

In order to retrieve several important goods brought back by the empire from the Great Eagle Empire, Itagaki Zheng's fleet is specially equipped with small communication ships, and the highest-end quantum communication can even meet the requirements of ultra-long-distance communication a hundred light years away. Is there such a terrifying region in the Dark Star Field?

As Gufu Village thought, Jeppen's "Flower of Famous Generals" did not associate the reason for the loss of his fleet with the encounter with a strong opponent. Because, even if he encounters a defeat of the main fleet, Itagaki is definitely not a person who has his brain in the water and does not even send a communication back. The most likely reason could only be that the complex environment of the field was much more terrifying than the intelligence suggested, causing a detachment to lose contact with the Empire.

The two Admirals Jeppen didn't expect that they felt that the brain would never enter the water, Itagaki Zheng, was beaten all over the head because of the early battle, and naturally had no face to tell the Legion Headquarters the truth, and when the communication ship finally jumped out, it was exposed to the opponent's energy cannon because of the lack of protection, and the fragile special communication ship did not have the thick armor protection of the combat ship, and it was blown up by the surging energy cannon in less than ten seconds.

The frayed Jeppen fleet was going to take care of what kind of communication ships at that time, and the only thing was to survive the difficult times in order to take out the opponent, and surviving capital ships such as destroyers and frigates was the right way.

As for the Meteorite Star Alliance, only the main battleships in Jeppen's fleet are in their eyes, and for the kind of auxiliary ships that are only one or two hundred meters long, they are not counted in the results of the battle at all. The communication ship, which carried the most high-end communication equipment of the Jeppon Empire, was ignored by the warring parties.

When Itagaki saw the antimatter bomb about to wreak havoc in the starry sky and wanted to leave some last words for the great empire, he tragically found that without a long-range communication ship, his last words could only be said to his colleagues who were about to finish with him.

Of course, the truth cannot be learned by conjecture alone, everything is based on practice. The characteristics of Jeppon people who do not speculate on the truth and must have real evidence before they can make judgments are still commendable.

The Sixth Legion was naturally no longer trustworthy, and Miyamoto Tsuyoshi personally called the commander of the Third Fleet, which ranked among the top five in the Jeppen Empire in terms of combat power, and asked him to send a reconnaissance support fleet.

The commander of Jeppen's Third Fleet, Yamashita, was an extremely cautious person in his own right, and combined with the intelligence of the Imperial Intelligence Department on the interior of the meteorite star sky and the strength of the First Fleet, he sent a reconnaissance ship, a communications ship, a destroyer, and a small support fleet of two frigates.

Although it is impossible for two auxiliary ships and three combat ships to become a support fleet, it is no problem to meet the needs of reconnaissance and communications, and besides, they set off within six hours after receiving the request, which can be regarded as giving Miyamoto enough face.

However, when it came to the location where the First Squadron had lost contact, the commander of the small fleet, the rear admiral, had an argument with Admiral Tanimura, who was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Gu Fu naturally hoped that the reconnaissance fleet would directly jump to the place where the first squadron disappeared to reconnoiter and find out the main reason for the loss of contact with the strongest squadron under his command, but what kind of general there is, what kind of soldiers, and the rear admiral, who inherited the cautious characteristics of his admiral commander, rejected this proposal on the spot.

Your fleet of 11 large warships is missing in that place, where else can I only engage in reconnaissance, isn't that a sheep's mouth? Even if it's due to the possibility of the star field environment, it's terrifying! Besides, you're the commander of the Sixth Legion, when will you ride to the head of our noble Third Fleet?

The commander of the reconnaissance fleet did not look at him as a rear admiral, but he did not have a rank much higher than him, and although he did not speak ill of him, he unceremoniously took the initiative to shut down the communication with Gufu Village.

The reason why this one is so confident, in addition to the fact that he naturally has Admiral Yama behind him to support him, if you know the respective inheritance attributes of their troops, it is estimated that it will be clear. The eight fleets of the Jeppon Empire are actually from the Jeppon Navy on the Blue Star, and the six legions are restructured from the Jeppon Army.

The dispute between the Jeppen Navy and the Army began almost from the moment the Navy was formed. Thousands of years ago, when it was still in the age of gunpowder weapons, the Jeppen Navy, which had strong ships and guns, ridiculed the Jeppen Army as a red deer and a turtle, while the Army retorted that the Navy was a fool's loser.

If it's just verbal scolding, it's okay, but the Jeppen people are very "bloody", and the two branches of the military are not a gap at all but can be called hatred.

The most awesome thing is that in a famous island attack and defense battle that swept the whole planet, a certain army general led the army to take a navy transport ship to reinforce the island defended by his own army, but the frenzied navy actually sank the transport ship that the army general was riding behind the buttocks, and fortunately, the body was as stocky as Itagaki Zheng, and his physical fitness was good, and he finally went ashore after swimming for several hours, and finally did not become killed by his own navy." Adversary" list.

If this may be a personal vendetta, maybe it is the army general who has greened a certain admiral? That's even more exaggerated. A certain naval staff officer once said: "The combined fleet of the Imperial Navy uses 70 percent of its strength to fight the land and 30 percent of its strength to fight the Great Eagle Guys." With the successive victories of the Jeppen Army on the land of the Chinese, while strengthening himself, he invited the emperor for credit, and at the same time did not forget to mock the Jeppen Navy who only served as a sea transport team in the early stage of the war. Of course, the blood in the bones of the Jiepeng Navy couldn't bear it, and it didn't take long to find a country with the strongest naval strength in the world to start a knife, and tell the army with practical actions: Nima coin, have the ability to learn from my brother?

The sneak attack on a certain port, which is enough to be recorded in the history of human warfare, is actually just the product of the fighting spirit of the naval and land services of Jiepeng.

Otherwise, I have to say that the Jeppen people are really a very stubborn people.

From before the Great War to after the Great War and then to the starry sky, the names of the navy and the army are gone, but the absence of the name does not mean that there is no tradition, and the fleets and legions that have inherited the glorious traditions of their respective services have continued the dispute to the starry sky. Perhaps, it will be passed on even longer.

In fact, comparing the military system of the Southwest Federation, it can basically be seen that the competition between the two major branches of the military is not over.

The Southwest Federation has ten major fleets and three major military regions, but the fleet's combat power is mainly based on starships, and the strategic goal is to compete for control of the airspace outside the planet, supplemented by the control of the planet's surface; The three major military regions are mainly ground defense, most of which are mecha troops and planetary fortress defense units, and the starship fleet outside the control planet belongs to transportation and protective auxiliary forces.

On the side of the Jiepeng Empire, in addition to the fleet, the eight fleets also have a large number of mecha troops, which means that the Lao Tzu fleet can handle everything, and it means that you little scum legions want to do wool. Just looking at the fact that a sub-fleet of the Sixth Legion can almost compete with one-third of the strength of the main fleet such as the Eight Fleets, you can know how much the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Legion, who have inherited the glorious tradition of the Jeppen Army, want to lose the title of "turtle" that has been sung for thousands of years.

Did the previous emperors of Jeppon know? They must know! But they can't change it. In this kind of imperial state where the aristocracy rules the commoners, the Jeppen royal family is just the leading brother of a group of younger brothers, who can take the little brothers to eat and drink spicy, and the little brothers will support you to continue to do it, but if you want to move the traditions of others to dig up the roots of others, the little brothers represented by the eight nobles may have to turn their faces. Even the strength of the Jiepeng royal family, which occupies one-third of the Jiepeng Empire, is still divided into two major factions: today you beat me in the mouth, and tomorrow Lao Tzu will give you a slap in the face!

Just like Miyamoto Gang, don't look at him as the commander of the First Army Corps who has become one of the top ten admirals of Jeppen, but he is an army department, and the commander of the eight fleets can completely dismiss him, that is, the Third Fleet belongs to the power controlled by the Jeppen royal family, so people give him face to send troops, but it does not mean that Miyamoto Tsuyoshi can arbitrarily point fingers, let alone the Gufu Village of the Sixth Legion.

After his participation, maybe the reconnaissance fleet still has the intention of directly jumping, but at this time, there is no such idea at all.

This also led to the strange scene of the Sixth Army Headquarters being in a hurry, but the reconnaissance fleet was still in the void leisurely and traveling. Although it is not that they do not contribute to the work, the life and death of the sixty-thousand-dollar imperial "turtles" are not too serious in their hearts.

In the end, it was Miyamoto who had just put down his face as the "flower of the famous general" and once again telegraphed Admiral Yamashita, commander of the Third Fleet, to give a brief notice of the tasks carried out by the First Squadron, and the reconnaissance fleet was forced to make a jump to the space point where the First Squadron had jumped.

By then, it had been five days.

Cautious enough, Rear Admiral Imamura allowed his fleet to linger for five more days. This may also be the reason why he can still leave his name in the history of the beginning of the Star War.

Because, apart from this, his performance after this is ordinary, and there is nothing to praise.

Perhaps, it would be more accurate to call him an unlucky egg. Together with Major General Itagaki Sei, he is known as Jepeng Double Mold, and his name is in the history of the stars.
