Chapter Sixty-Eight: Today Is Not All Bad
Is the Blue Star Community strong? At least that's what the majority of the people think.
It is a nation of human beings; He is a member of the first three rows of the Galactic Civilization Council; He had a brilliant record of defeating empires (vassal kings and vassals) several times on frontal battlefields with fewer victories; He was the first government in the history of galactic civilization to gain independence from the domination of the Empire; Then, for a while, he even had the title of "the third largest military power in the galaxy".
Is the Blue Star Community really strong? At least that's what most civilizations in the galaxy think.
He really has a kind of "third military power" shelf. The total tonnage of naval warships is the third in the galaxy, the third in the capital ships, the dreadnoughts, and the psionics in the formation are all fifth. The total strength of the active army (including stormtroopers, marines, and planetary defense units) is the second in the galaxy, and if the strength of the king and vassal states is not counted on the imperial side, it will reach the first in the galaxy.
Of course, the Titan is actually the third in the galaxy, but this ranking doesn't make much sense. With the exception of the Empire and the Alliance, no country has these ultimate weapons in space, and such ships cannot be produced from shipyards alone.
In any case, with all of the above, the appearance of a strong country is really possessed, even if it is a pasted appearance.
But later history proved that the Blue Star Community had already been riddled with holes, and the hard steel shell outside had long been corroded to the point that only a thin layer remained.
The Tuloon incident was "poked" for the first time. In the original history, because there was no tough response from the senior sister, the destroyer of the big meows finally came to Tulon. When people come, it's hard to leave. Later, after a long period of negotiations, the Kingdom of Kaitai actually carved out an autonomous region in Tulom, with independent judicial power and even a garrison.
Is this the so-called "third largest military power in the galaxy"? The nations did not react, but the big cats who stole the fishy were completely aroused by their greed, and they wanted to gnaw on a large piece of meat to eat, so they simply started the idea of Xingmen.
However, according to the "later" historical memory, this should have happened in the year 831 of the Common Calendar, that is, in February of the next year. Yu Lian was a little confused.
β¦β¦ No, the later history cannot be fully trusted. This is also a mechanical view of history, which will be criticized by Mr. Li. Now that I have been born again, everything has changed. Cathay's meows didn't succeed in Tulon, but they were disgraced, so their subsequent behavior will also change.
First of all, Mr. Li taught us that specific problems should be analyzed in detail, and we must grasp the main contradictions. As long as these are determined, the enemy's behavior patterns can actually be analyzed.
Yu Lian began to think, and Colonel Yang Xiyi on the opposite side smiled when he saw this: "It seems that you should have thought of something, right?" β
"Mr. Yang, I think Kaitai people may want to do a big job, and they want to completely pierce the tiger skin of the community."
"For example?"
"Beat the Outer Ring Fleet, the most powerful main fleet of the community, to a sneak attack. Then they will make a false truce and find a third party, such as their Imperial Daddy, to mediate. β
"Sounds particularly ridiculous...... The reason? β
"This is first of all to start with the situation of the Kaitai Kingdom in the past few years, they ......" Yu Lian organized his language and was about to speak at length, but Yang Xiyi showed a distressed look and interrupted: "Woo, let's wait first." You guy used to be like that, and every time you prep a whole bunch of nonsense, you prepare a whole bunch of tirades. However, it is not me who you are trying to convince, but Admiral Perris. β
"This, I ......"
Like a second-rate scholar, like a third-rate literati, like a small company and social animal, but Yang Xiyi, who doesn't look like a soldier, grabbed his hair helplessly, picked up a military hat and buckled it on his head, and complained: "I've had a lot of troubles recently, and as soon as I took office, I was pushed to everything." The Catechs on the other side, the Buckvi Birdmen, the Buckvi Birdmen, the Separatists of Lumina...... All the information of the forces is under my control, do you understand? Yu Lian. β
Yu Lian nodded sympathetically. If you are the kind of person who is very ambitious in the workplace, of course, you will feel that this is the importance that the organization attaches to you, and you can't wait to show 12 points of diligence. But the problem is that Yang Xiyi, to put it bluntly, is an energy-saver who eats and waits for a dead toad, and he really doesn't want to live too full.
"Then, the 40,000 tons of high-explosive dust ordered by the Ministry of Defense from Xinyumen will be transiting through Xingmen in the next few days, oh, 10,000 tons of them will still be sold to the Empire. Their receiver will come to this starport to inspect in the next two days, so I have to go to this starport to sit in town in person, and be foolproof! And now you're telling me that we're about to face a war? Oh my God, I'm just a part-time worker, but it just happens that my employer is in the military, so why are you pushing me so much? β
"That's it. Otherwise, why would the Outer Ring Fleet assemble here? Yu Lian stretched out his hands and asked confidently.
"Because the Kaitai people on the other side have to assemble a fleet once a year, and occasionally they will bring their birdman friends to joint exercises. So naturally, the Outer Ring Fleet will do the same. Isn't that the raison d'Γͺtre of the military? β
"They even sent out the Praetorian Fleet this time! Or Charlen Gorilla himself! β
"Yes, a Praetorian Fleet of more than a dozen royal 'cruise ships'! Prince Charron Scarlet's Mane is a showy guy, so it's reasonable to want to come to the army. Even if it is to make the future Great Protector of the Kingdom happy, the Kaitai fleet on the opposite side has to come out with twelve percent momentum! Isn't this also the raison d'Γͺtre of their army? β
In the worldview of cynical absolute liberals, all of the above makes quite sense. Yu Lian was a little speechless for a while.
He was thinking about how to refute it, but he saw that the colonel had already opened the information terminal in his office and connected to the fleet headquarters that was on the Hyperion.
"What about Your Excellency Commander?" The colonel asked.
"Just finished the meeting and was about to go to dinner, Colonel, is there anything you can do?" Do I need to transfer? "The answer was a female officer with the rank of lieutenant, who was supposed to be part of Admiral Pikes's adjutant corps.
"It only takes a few minutes for him. Didn't Your Excellency say that the student who made a contribution to Tulong is a talent, and he needs to be motivated. He just arrived in Hong Kong today. By the way, Lyti, you used Charluvy No. 7 for your lip gloss today, right? It's for you. β
I have to say that although Yang Xiyi's appearance is only the bottom limit of a "handsome guy", he has a good temperament and good demeanor, and he is an "elite bureaucratic group" with a promising future, and his hippie smile is still quite charming. The little lieutenant over there suddenly giggled: "Hee-hee, next time people will change the color, oh, and perfume, guess which one." β
"Okay, let's guess privately."
The little lieutenant was overjoyed and took the signal to the commander.
Yu Lian stared at Yang Xiyi closely, eager to turn his eyes into sharp blades and cut him with a thousand knives.
ββ¦β¦ Don't look at me like that! It's all about surviving in this workplace. Yang Xiyi didn't look back, but the whole person was full of the vicissitudes and sadness of realism.
"I'll tell Sister Jessica."
"Even if you tell her, it's already true! She's in a more brutal profession than I am, and she'll understand. β
"I will also tell Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yong, and Xiao Mi that their father has completely degenerated into a greasy and incompetent uncle!"
"Stinky boy, what do I have to do with you! The matter of survival in the workplace, can, can it be called greasy and incompetent? It's not about children! Yang Xiyi was furious and jumped up to theorize, but saw the light curtain on the communicator over there flash, shining out of an old man dressed in a neat military uniform, not smiling, with a face and body as hard as granite, and four shining stars shining on his collar badge.
He was none other than Admiral Noam Perris, Admiral of the Community Outer Ring Fleet and Commander of the Outer Ring Military Region.
Yang Xiyi quickly stood up and saluted, instantly switched to a solemn and resolute expression, and said solemnly: "Your Excellency Commander, Colonel Yang Xiyi, Chief Staff Officer of Intelligence, report to you." Oh, this is Warrant Officer Yu Lian, he is indeed a talent, right? β
The colonel's action of standing up and saluting was so swift that Yu didn't even react to this psyker, and suddenly slowed down by half a beat; At this time, the old general's eyes had already swept over, and seeing that Yu Lian hadn't even had time to put on his military hat, his eyes suddenly flashed with obvious gloom.
"Warrant Officer Yu Lian, huh?"
"Class 830 cadet of the Central Defense University, Yu Lian, report to you."
"Don't report to me, after you graduate, whether you can stay in the army is a matter of words." The general said coldly: "I heard that you did well in Tulong?" β
"Well, it's all thanks to Senior Sister...... The decisive command of Lieutenant Colonel Eleanor Bonaparte and the heroic slaughter of all the officers and men of the garrison. Xiaguan is just a coincidence. β
"Hmph, overly modest clichΓ©s sound hypocritical, and with your weak face, it's no wonder that there will be such a reputation."
"This, Your Excellency, have you heard of Xiaguan ......"
"Your headmaster, Lieutenant General Maxel, and I are old friends. Still, you won't want to know what he says about you. The admiral sneered: "Anyway, it is true that you have made achievements in Tulong, but having a good starting point does not mean that everything will go well in the future." I hope you can digest the harvest of this internship and make persistent efforts to do it yourself. β
Yu Lianqiang couldn't help but roll his eyes, and with a smiling face, he began to wonder if he wanted to roll this guy into a ball of meat and feed it to the space amoeba. But this guy is old, so the old meatballs can't be eaten even if they are amoeba, right?
"Colonel Young." The general said to Yang Xiyi again.
"The lower official is here!"
"Take this little guy to try the special athlete pot of the Outer Ring Military Region, let him live in the fleet guest house, and book him a passenger ferry ticket for these two days. You 'elite bureaucracy', especially the Moonmen, have some influence at the top and in the media, even if they are useless. I don't want him to go back and say that we in the Outer Ring Fleet don't know how to be polite! Well, dissolve. β
Before Yang Xiyi saluted, Admiral Perris had already cut off the communication.
The colonel sighed and patted Yu Lian on the shoulder comfortingly: "Don't mind, it's not that he hates you, but he hates all the moon people and elite bureaucratic groups. At least you can look forward to our special Jian'er pot, the taste is really good. So, today isn't all bad. β
