To a certain extent, when facing veterans, she seems to feel that she is looking at herself in the mirror, and the biggest difference is only from a daughter to a man...... is still a middle-aged battlefield veteran.

She turned her head to look at the rising sun, and said in a softer tone than Fang Cai, "I came to Hilde Star for another purpose------ pick up Valeria?" Apollo's ashes went to be reunited with Aros, which was the only thing I could do as a comrade-in-arms. You can choose to stay with the Silver Eagle Regiment, or you can choose to leave with me...... After all, according to Valeria's last wishes, she wants you to complete this journey of life in an ordinary way. ”

"Thank you...... Everything that has been done for our father and son. Jaeger looked at her face in the sun, painted a warm color, and said sincerely.

Nova had no words. Jaeger looked back and looked at the words "May there be an afterlife" on the tombstone.

………………

Thomas, the third consul of the Silver Eagles? The political turmoil caused by Anklu's prolonged absence has been unsettling. In less than a month, the Phoenix Empire on the other side has undergone a earth-shaking change.

People generally think that Virginia? Alexander moved to the palace for the second time, leaving the Fillmos star system because he was not optimistic about the future of the capital's star system. Facing Kursk? Alexander vs. Ingrid? Alexander's rebellious coalition forces, even though the Fillus star system has many experimental weapons, will not be able to hold off the attack of the two elite imperial forces with a shaky foundation.

Marlowe, who has just recovered from his illness? The title of Earl Smith as commander-in-chief of the capital's defense forces was not so much a knighthood as a duck on the shelves. I think he is a civilian politician, where is he good at leading troops to fight.

Still some people feel Virginia? Alexander is playing the golden cicada shelling scheme. To know about Kursk? The slogan shouted by Alexander's soldiers in front of the Ham star system was "Clear the king's side, punish the traitor".

So who is on the king's side, and who is the traitor? The answer is obvious.

Virginia now? Alexander delegated Marlowe? Smith commanded this almost impossible defensive battle, did he sacrifice Marlowe? Smith, the possibility of earning yourself some room to manoeuvre? Thinking about it this way, the fate of Mr. Earl is really too sad.

Since Virginia? Alexander shouted the slogan of reform, and the only person who really put it into action and promoted the process of reform was Marlowe? Smith, whose efforts and persistence were seen and remembered by the learned middle class intellectuals, disseminated among the crowd through various channels about the heroic deeds of Monsieur de Earl. For example, satirizing the First Prince positively, such as actively rescuing those activists who took to the streets......

While outsiders were betting on the Fillmos star system, the people of the Phoenix Empire focused more on Count Marlowe, hoping that a miracle would come and save him from this catastrophe.

There are even people in the media who have spoken out to call for Marlowe? Smith gave up this hot ass official position and simply fled overseas to protect himself. After all, he has done well enough, and he is already worthy of the people of the Phoenix Empire.

Someone else tried to give Virginia? Alexander's move, delegating Marlowe? Smith went to Dillar Stellar System to meet with Captain Don and get in touch with the Adam government through Morningstar's foundry connections to negotiate the Covenant naval invasion. As long as Count Marlowe does it right, it will be easy to drag the Morningstar Casting into the water.

So Kursk? Alexander vs. Ingrid? Alexander must have thrown himself into a trap and did not dare to make too many mistakes, so as to gain time for His Majesty the Holy Emperor to gather conservative forces to react. You must know the current situation of the Phoenix Empire, in addition to the confrontation between conservatives and radicals has entered a white-hot state, the Star Alliance and the Mengya Empire have also stretched out their tentacles, which have become chaotic, and a Morning Star casting is nothing.

Otherwise, there are many smart people in this world, and even this kind of curve to save the country can come up with it.

Of course, there are also opponents who comment that this method is a bad idea, and Captain Tang of the Dillar star system is looking at the Phoenix Empire with a tiger's eye, wishing that someone would send it to the door and give him an excuse to send troops to the Fillmos star system...... Where is this curve to save the country, this is clearly to lure the wolf into the house. His Majesty the Holy Emperor is determined to carry out drastic reforms, but it does not mean that he will become friends with the Morning Star Forge.

Just in the Phoenix Empire public opinion for Marlowe? When Smith's future fate stirred up layers of waves, Kursk? Alexander's Combined Fleet arrives outside the Fillmos star system and launches a ferocious assault on a defensive front based on a network of first-tier warp interceptors.

It was expected that the attackers would meet with stubborn resistance, after all, the Capital Guard was not vegetarian. Surprisingly, however, the coalition forces were able to breach the first layer of defense in a relatively short period of time, despite some damage on their part.

Outsiders have no way of knowing the strategic deployment of the Fillmos star system, and it is believed that Count Marlowe has shrunk the defensive line, concentrated superior forces, and focused the garrison on the second layer of defensive front built on the second layer of warp interception network.

But then there was news that the second layer of the defensive front was taken by Kursk? The news of the tearing of the fleet led by Alexander.

The coalition forces have successively crushed the first layer of defensive front and the second layer of defensive front, so that the capital planet will not be directly exposed to the enemy's artillery? Could it be Marlowe? Smith intends to engage in a brutal space orbital battle?

It's understandable to think like this, after all, ground weapons can pose a big threat to the enemy in the orbital battlefield, God knows Virginia? How many pairs of orbital weapons Alexander laid on his planet. Kursk? The coalition forces led by Alexander broke through the first and second layers of defensive lines one after another, and the so-called "one drum, then decline, and three exhaustions", in the face of the capital guard and the orbital defense network that were recuperating and waiting for work, the coalition forces would be difficult to hold for a long time. Smith brings the dawn of the Jedi Strikes Back.

Who said that Monsieur Count was a civil official, good at politics, and clumsy in command, like this kind of policy of resisting the enemy, ordinary people can't think of it.

The people expected him to make a good comeback, but unfortunately that did not happen...... Kursk? Alexander released a message to the outside world. A video footage, to be exact.

There is no shadow of the Capital Guard at all in the high and low orbits of the capital's planets, only some miscellaneous armies such as the Orbital Administration, the Maritime Inspection Team, and the Special Service Fleet of the National Security Agency. Even with artillery support from the ground, with such a rabble, will it be possible to defeat the elite of the Empire?

The answer, of course, is no.

And what about Emalowe? What about the Capital Guard and the Combined Defense Fleet led by Smith? Fools can see that Mr. Earl has played a kind of escape game, almost giving up the capital's star system to the crusading coalition forces.

Kursk? Alexander did not immediately take down the capital star system, but filmed the battlefield footage and broadcast it to the outside world as soon as possible, for what? In order to humiliate and satirize His Majesty the Holy Emperor and those who care about Marlowe? Smith is in danger.

Gee...... What empire's most talented young politician, what pillar of the country, simply a coward, faced him Kursk? Alexander, who didn't even have the courage to fight, fled directly with his tail between his legs.

There is no doubt that this will demoralize the conservative lords and officials, boost the morale of the radical lords and officials, and will also build his invincible prestige. On the other hand, it can also weaken Marlowe? Smith's growing popularity in the minds of the people of the Phoenix Empire shattered the people's expectations for a turnaround, and suppressed the hidden wave of change with force.

From the Battle of the Durham Star System, to the Battle of the Fillers Star System, Kursk? Alexander pushed his military career to the pinnacle of glory.

The continuous plot twists made those who cared about the country's political situation stunned, both domestic people and foreign spectators were confused, wondering if it was Marlowe? Did Smith really see that the situation was bad and evacuate the Fillmos star system early?

Many people use the spiritual victory method to comfort their wounded hearts------ although it is humiliating to do so, but they have saved their lives, and the husband can bend and stretch, and a failure is nothing...... No, not to the point of failure, well, it can be called a strategic shift, and history is not without precedents.

Things in the world are far more dramatic than stories. Kursk? Alexander gave those to Marlowe with facts? Smith slapped the expectant man, but before he could recover from his frenzy and excitement, a smile froze on his face from an urgent military intelligence sent by the communications officer.

That's a copy of Marlowe? Intelligence on Smith's whereabouts. He finally knew where Mr. Earl had gone with his Capital Guard and the Combined Defense Fleet, and instead of being as greedy for life and death as he thought, they had successfully ambushed Ingrid? Alexander's Jupiter Expeditionary Force.

Kursk? Alexander did not expect such a situation in any way...... No, to be exact, almost no one thought of Marlowe? Smith is going to run and fuck that stinky bitch.

As an important figure in the country's civil war, he was able to get the latest battle reports from the front line at the first time, and then make various reactions. The domestic and international populations who are following this war are slower to learn the news, but they cannot be kept in the dark for a long time, after all, this matter is too big, Kursk? Alexander could have blocked the spread of the news in radical-controlled areas, but there was no way to cover all the lids.

There was an uproar throughout the Hillenbuir region, and at first Marlowe? Smith's behavior was somewhat disappointed, and those who gave understanding were excited by the good news. Many people can't resist pouring themselves a glass of whiskey, taking a sip of vodka, lighting a cigarette and putting it in their mouths, or even having a good meal.

And the people in the areas where the descendants of the Chinese people live like to use firecrackers to express the joy in their hearts.

From this, you can imagine Marlowe? Smith's recent series of initiatives have won the hearts of the people.

Although he gave up the Fillmos star system, he let Ingrid? Alexander's stinky woman made a fuss, losing more than 30% of her troops, and the interceptor's combat attrition was less than 10%, which can be said to be a big victory.

Can't think of Marlowe? Smith had such a clever and ingenious performance in the first command of the army, and such a development surprised many people at once.

From the standpoint of ordinary people, and even most generals and politicians, in the face of the Prince Kursk coalition army that is about to arrive in the Fillmos star system, the first best option is naturally to strengthen the defense of the capital city and cooperate with the capital guard and the joint defense fleet to fight a rigorous defensive battle. If you don't have the confidence to win this war, the second option is to give up the territory and follow the example of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

But Marlowe? Smith didn't do that, he actually dangled a shot, let the Prince of Kursk coalition army, and ran to snipe the Ingrid coalition army.

Because of the time and distance of the troops, the Prince of Kursk coalition will arrive at the periphery of the Fillmos star system earlier than the Ingrid coalition army. In other words, Marlowe? Smith's biggest enemy in front of him is Kursk? Alexander.

According to the normal war deduction results, Ingrid? When Alexander's coalition forces arrive at the Fillmos star system, there is a high probability that the battle will come to an end. Unless Kursk? Alexander tried his best to restrain his men from attacking slowly, actively waiting for friendly troops to arrive and attack the target together. Such an arrangement may reduce the losses of the coalition forces, but on the other hand, it will give the conservative lords more time to react, which is the last thing the radicals want to see.

Based on the above information, most viewers do not think that the Ingrid coalition will be the protagonists of the offensive and defensive battles of the Fillmos star system, and thus ignore their existence...... Until the Count of Marlowe caught everyone off guard.

There is a coalition army of Prince Kursk in front, Ingrid? Alexander certainly wouldn't be overly vigilant about the situation along the way, and the most reasonable arrangement was to conduct a normal level of inspection, and spend most of his energy on the road, arriving at the Fillus star system as early as possible to buy more time for the radicals.

If it's a fleet of average caliber ...... No, even the Capital Guard is unlikely to bypass the Jupiter Expeditionary Army's scout fleet and learn the route of the main force of the Ingrid. But don't forget that His Majesty the Holy Emperor has a new weapon at his disposal that is even more stealthy than the original Deep Diver fleet. Its presence provided the basis for the success of this interception operation.

Marlow? The number of ships under Smith's command is the same as that of Ingrid? The difference in the number of ships under Alexander's command was four to five times, and if we do not mention the ending, in terms of the number of enemy ships destroyed, there is no doubt that this is a victory that can be written in the history of the war.

What is called strategic retreat, this is called strategic retreat, a calm migration with the result of reducing the enemy's elite strength by 30...... This is not the so-called "strategic shift" that has been touted in history.

Kursk? Alexander's previous publicity and propaganda were completely reduced to a laughing stock, and His Royal Highness, who got carried away from his successive victories, was slapped in the face.
