Probably because of his own personality, anyway, when Colonel Yang Xiyi said these words with a straight face, and even a little solemn expression, no one took it seriously. Several of the young officers even laughed out loud.

"Colonel, this is a joke, uh......" Lapash couldn't help but laugh, and commented solemnly, "Although I know that you are the cold-faced joker of our fleet, the number one joke master, this kind of thing is not a joke. ”

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff has taught you a lesson...... However, Xia Guan really didn't joke this time! According to the estimates of our intelligence officers, the enemy Praetorian Fleet is expected to meet them the day after tomorrow, that is, before the evening of December 27, that is, the seventh day of the exercise of the enemy's combined fleet. Major Horn himself, on the other hand, will shut down the Star Fort's defenses by 6 a.m. on December 28. If the subordinates expected it right, before that, the enemy fleet would launch a surprise attack on us! ”

Unconsciously, Yang Xiyi had already said that the "Kaitai people" were "enemy fleets", but it seemed that everyone hadn't noticed this.

"He, why did he do that! …… I mean, the garrison of the defense center of the β Starport in Gibraltar is under the direct jurisdiction of the Security Department of the Military Region, and he does not have the right to enter and cannot deal with so many people. ”

“…… There are already more than 30 commandos lurking in the Star Port of Gibraltar, all of whom have entered the country through Imperial research ships or merchant ships, and our personnel have captured or killed all of them. Their identities have been confirmed as indeed special operations units of the Kingdom of Kaitai, and it has been admitted that they will cooperate with Major Horn in the early hours of December 28. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Xiyi suddenly restrained his usual careless attitude towards harmlessness and said in a straight voice: "Your Excellency Commander, the enemy's war signal is already very obvious. ”

"It's still nonsense, the Cathays, and their allies, the Buckvi Birdmen, all kinds of small actions have not stopped. But now is the era of peaceful development, pioneering and enterprising, and the whole galaxy shares the development of the new continent, and they can't bear the consequences of war! Chief of Staff Rappash scoffed.

Yu Lian noticed that when everyone was discussing, they seemed to ignore the existence of the empire intentionally or unintentionally, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

"What's more, we also made a deduction for the exercise of the Kaitai fleet some time ago, don't you also think that it is unlikely that the other side will start a war?" A brigadier general also questioned, presumably also a member of the General Staff.

Admiral Perris didn't say a word, but he didn't look at Colonel Young's gaze all the time.

"Yes. Until yesterday, I didn't think the Cathay would do such a crazy thing. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the lower officials. ”

Don't you know? So what did you do to scare Major Horn into such a big fight? Yu Lian rolled his eyes covertly.

"I did suspect Major Horn early on, but I really didn't expect the Cathay people to have such crazy plans. It's been so many years since the Star Wars ended, and everyone wants to make a fortune by developing the Andromeda Galaxy. Such a plan, if not careful, could lead to the outbreak of a full-scale war between the two countries, which neither the empire nor the alliance wants to see...... And just the day before yesterday, Cathay's ambassador to Earth reiterated the importance of peace at a press conference. ”

Yang Xiyi paused for a moment, and then said, "If it weren't for the reminder of warrant officer Yu Lian, I wouldn't have thought about it at all." ”

Yu Lian felt the surprised gazes of the senior officers and their whispers, and simply raised his head calmly, making himself look a little more bullish, although he was already scolding in his heart.

"What did he say to you?" Admiral Perris spoke suddenly.

Yang Xiyi repeated Yu Lian's words last night, and said: "The subordinate felt that Warrant Officer Yu Lian's words were very reasonable, so he agreed with him to lure Major Horn to strike first, and after he returned, he quickly flipped through the information about Kaitai. Just like Warrant Officer Yu Lian said, the finances of the Kaitai Kingdom are about to go bankrupt, and the amount of all kinds of military materials they have secretly purchased during this period is already beyond common sense just because of the amount that we have detected. If not for the war, then what? As a result, the subordinate notified the Minister of Security of Xinggang overnight, as well as Colonel Chaimen, who was preparing a special hangar in Xinggang. ”

This guy has such a strong sense of action and organization! The people present, whether they liked him or hated him, had to respect Yang Xiyi at this time.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy is ready for war! Even if it's not this time, it will be next time. They can't hold it! This, coupled with Major Horn's confession and actions, is enough to prove it. ”

Admiral Perris was noncommittal, frowning and deep in thought.

"Commander...... There is such a proverb in our hometown, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent a thief for a thousand days. Yang Xiyi said.

“…… Your Excellency, if we take action first, we will not be able to escape the responsibility of initiating a provocation. Chief of Staff Lapash whispered.

"Shahrukh, they're already in Starport!" Admiral Perris said with a blank face.

"However, all this was only the personal act of Major Horn, and his confession did not constitute ironclad evidence that the Cathays were ready to do it. If we really want to make a lawsuit in the civilized parliament, we must be the ones who will suffer. The earth won't support us either, maybe ......"

Maybe we'll be pushed out of the way. The chief of staff omitted this sentence, and he knew that everyone would understand, so he continued: "In addition, although our fleet is assembled, it is only monitoring the opponent's exercises, and there is no battle plan. Moreover, the enemy's First and Third Fleets combined are more than 1.5 times our existing strength, and with the Praetorian Fleet that is approaching, it is extremely unfavorable for us to go to war rashly! Therefore, it would be good to let the whole fleet ensure a state of alert and not let them take advantage of the loopholes. ”

"Now, reinforcements are coming from the 2nd Mobile Fleet...... When they arrived, even if the other side had the Janissary fleet of the Cathayans, the strength would be equal. The brigadier general also said.

"But, they'll be a day behind Kaitai's Praetorian Fleet, won't they? Lars, that moon peacock, can come over and help me, an old stubborn standing on the street, is already the limit of his pinching nose, right? Can you expect him to work day and night? ”

Well, Vice Admiral Lars, the commander of the 2nd Mobile Fleet, was also born on the moon, and has a grudge against Admiral Perris, and is said to have been slapped on the spot by the old general.

The only two Moonballs present looked at each other, but they didn't feel any empathy at all.

"But the day after tomorrow, after the arrival of the enemy Praetorian Fleet, they will have at least 24 hours to outnumber our troops, and at that time to launch an attack, what should we do? You can't rule it out, can you? Shahrukh. Admiral Perris replied.

“…… This, this, we just need to be prepared to defend. They shouldn't dare to do it...... Right? ”

"Shahrukh, do you want me to hand over the fate of the more than 1,000 warships on the millions of soldiers on the more than 1,000 warships, the nearly 10 million soldiers and civilians of the Gibraltar Military Region, and the fate of Nantianmen to others?"

The chief of staff was speechless for a moment.

Yang Xiyi handed over a document without a needle: "This is the preliminary battle plan drawn up by the lower officer, of course, it is one of the preparatory plans that the chief of staff has already drawn up with all of us. ”

"Oh, is it? Hard, thank you. His Excellency the Chief of Staff had a constipated expression, but the other party was so watertight that he didn't even have a chance to express his doubts.

However, Admiral Perris quickly scanned the electronic file, and his face was much better: "It's kind of interesting!" Thank you, Shahrukh. And Colonel Young. ”

"Yes! This is the duty of the subordinates, and the commander has been awarded! Lapaš reflexively showed his triumph, and said to himself with a false humility.

Admiral Perris added: "If you follow your plan, we will have a huge advantage in the event of a war!" But, Colonel Yang, since the enemy is preparing to attack, it is different from the past, why do you think that they will leave us such a vacancy? ”

Yang Xiyi glanced at Yu Lian covertly, and said in a straight voice: "Because even their middle and low-level officers probably won't think of the real purpose of this time at this time, let alone us." The commander of the fleet on the other side is Marshal Reed Redeye, a scheming gambler who has dealt with you for more than ten years, and knows you very well! In that case, it's better to calculate it! ”

Yang Xiyi said without beginning or end, but Admiral Perris seemed to understand in seconds.

"Indeed...... Marshal Li said that I was missing a tendon in my head, and now that I am old, I have not grown much, and I have become an old-fashioned old stubborn. The admiral laughed, a look of remembrance.

Everyone was laughing awkwardly with the commander. They knew that the "Marshal Lee" mentioned by the old general must be the father of the nation. Marshal R. Lee. Here, only this eighty-year-old man can say such things, and the others are not even qualified to interject.

"Shahrukh, you've trained a good subordinate." Admiral Perris praised the chief of staff again, and said in a deep voice: "This plan can be implemented!" ”

"It is the greatest honor of our staff members to share your worries......" Lapash reflexed again, but then realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "But, Commander, even if we have a chance of winning, we still have to be cautious." You can't turn yourself into an aggressor! ”

Admiral Perris was silent again.

"Actually, there's a way." Yu Lian said coldly.

Everyone looked at the youngest and lowest-ranking person on the bridge, and their eyes were different. Yang Xiyi kept glancing at Yu Lian, but the latter continued as if he hadn't seen it:

"The Kaitai people are a proud martial people, and Charlen Scarlet's Mane is conceited and arrogant, brave and unscrupulous! Always think that he is following the traditional martial arts of Kaitai martial arts honor. He is now leading the royal fleet, that is, more than a dozen royal cruise ships have arrived, so this is our best chance! ”

Yu Lian paused: "The so-called sense of honor, which seems to us humans to be somewhat unreasonable, is the norm for Kaitai people. You know, even now, they still have a tradition of martial arts trials and king competitions...... So, just let them admit it to themselves! ”

Yang Xiyi was thoughtful, but the others were different, some didn't know why, some felt ridiculous, some sneered and disdainful, and overall, the atmosphere was not friendly.

The chief of staff directly showed anger, probably because he felt that a mere student was not worthy of speaking here, and just wanted to reprimand a few words, but his top boss spoke first with a straight face: "Your name, what's the matter?" ”

Yes, yes, that's it! scolded this kid well, but he learned the rules and made him doubt life. Lieutenant General Rappash thought.

"Warrant Officer Yu Lian, Class of 830, Central Defense University, 4th year student of the Department of Strategic Studies!" Tsk, I introduced it once yesterday. Do you have Alzheimer's?

Only then did many people know that this unruly stunned young man turned out to be a "moon man", and he was born in the strategic research department of the "Admiral's Cradle", and his attitude suddenly changed, and the malice that was revealed quickly reined in. Some people looked at him, although he was the one who had sneered at him before; Someone nodded in admiration, although it was he who shook his head and sneered before.

Anyway, the atmosphere is indeed much more relaxed and friendly.

It's so realistic, you guys!

"What about your parents? Is it a military man? The old general asked again.

Yu Lian didn't know why, but he also replied calmly: "Huh? My father, Yu Xiao, was a space engineer and died for 10 years. His mother, Captain Liu Qiluo, served in the Third Strike Fleet of the Cantilever Fleet as a carrier-based aircraft pilot. ...... died in the 'New Paris' incident 18 years ago"

"O orphans of the martyrs of New Paris! No wonder ......"

A gentle smile seemed to flash across the admiral's face, but it quickly converged, so fast that many people thought it was a delusion.

He immediately slapped the table and said in a voice as hard as granite: "General Staff, immediately start discussing the battle plan formulated by Colonel Yang Xiyi!" If it passes, it's ready to execute! Those two-legged big cats have been dangling in front of labor and management every day for more than ten years, and they have long wanted to peel off their skins to make mats! Destroying the enemy outside the country is also in line with the glorious tradition of mankind for a long time! If there are any consequences, I will bear it! ”

Chief of Staff Lapash's face seemed to turn a lot whiter, and he whispered: "But, Your Excellency, we should inform the Earth side of this kind of thing first, right?" ”

"Yes...... But there's no time for that now, so let's wait until we start executing. I am the Overseer of the Outer Ring Military Region and the Commander of the Outer Ring Fleet, and I have the right of active self-defense granted by the Senate. Shahrukh, you know, I have this permission! ”

"But, but, it has to be our ......"

"Yes! You, Major General Donard, and Lieutenant General Cohen on the Blue Ark, have veto. So, will you use this right? ”

The Chief of Staff was caught in a fierce battle between heaven and man, and thought to himself, who doesn't know that Major Admiral Donard, the chief of navigation, and Lieutenant General Cohen, the deputy commander, are all sworn friends of your old fellow, and they have always been the only ones who look at your horse. If we want to stop this madness, it is up to me, the courageous and wise Shah Rukh Lapash, to take up this burden!

He was about to speak, but he found that the commander had been looking at him, and there was no warmth in his eyes, as if he was looking at his prey, the eyes of a lion.

"Got it! Your Excellency, I will be with you! Until death! Chief of Staff Rappash said loudly.

The corners of the commander's mouth curled slightly, which was probably a smile of his gratitude.

Mr. Chief of Staff was also laughing, and at this time, he probably didn't know what expression to make besides smiling, right? Seeing that the other people on the bridge seemed to be a little confused, they immediately shouted again: "What are you doing in a daze?" Let's all go to work! I don't have to tie you to a proton torpedo to move, right? ”

This time, everyone was moving. The action is very sharp.

Yu Lian looked at the old general who had fallen silent again, like a granite statue, and secretly clenched his fists.
