In the year 858 of the cosmic calendar, stumbling came.

The 19 years of the Third Solar System Civil War are coming.

In the past year, the Planetary Pass Sect, which was originally the most determined in the Federation's main battle, suffered a heavy setback, and in three battles, the Heavenly Knights were directly killed by more than 600 people. The Federation of Heavenly Knights has a total of 3,000, and these losses are basically above the median, even including four hero positions, and the entire Federation Interstellar Passage Core has been shattered.

The controllers seem to be denouncing the Heavenly Knight now, and they look bitter and hateful, but in fact, these women are very soft in their hearts and don't want the Heavenly Knight to continue to die.

The focus of the Federation's war has once again fallen on the Saturn commanders.

This is the last direction that the Federation can make efforts to fight for the right to speak in this war, and they hope to use the big battle as much as possible to force the Seekers to give up some of their demands before the Magnet Cloud support reaches Saturn.

Now the commanders no longer argue with the Celestial Knights whether they are commanders or celestial knights. - It doesn't make sense.

January 12th.

In Saturn's synchronous orbit, communication satellites are connecting commanders' combat warehouses in various parts of Saturn for a final strategic discussion.

"It can't be delayed." Su Tianji said to the projection of the 62 high-ranking hero commanders who participated in the meeting.

This high-precision military topographic map shows the area of the Eastern Continent - and it is highlighted, and it is the strategic salient that was fought on the Qianchuan in the last breakthrough operation of the stars.

Last year, when the Celestial Knights were fighting an earth-shattering battle, the commanders of the Federation were also making various deployments to prepare for a possible surprise attack on the fifth star. - These high-ranking commanders have now been beaten by the Average Star Five, and they have a deep sense of defense.

However, throughout 857, the 5th Star Picking Star did not launch another super assault, and the performance of this sealing blade seemed to indicate that it had entered the twilight period.

But after the end of 857, the Federation looks back at what the Stars Five had done last year, and it seems that it is more important than the ten major battles. While the Quest for Progress had slowly advanced with trench positions last year, the offensive strength of the Dragon Guard Corps had expanded tenfold.

Compared with the Dragon Guard Assault Regiment 800 years ago, the combat equipment of the assault regiment formed by the Qiujin Association now is mainly intelligent fighters, and the assault formation composed of every 800 intelligent combat mecha is controlled by a five-person human non-commissioned officer organization.

These non-commissioned officers are the new talents under the 15-year re-education system of the Seeking Advancement Association. After each battle, they are responsible for summarizing their experiences and thinking about how to deal with them, and they are the backbone of the confrontation with the elite commanders of the Federation within the Quest Council. The non-commissioned officers also have a light particle emission system, about fifty, which is completely different from the grass and the towering trees compared to the orthodox commanders of the Federation.

Therefore, the elite commanders on the federal side exchanged consumption with this manned formation, that is, exchanging machines for manpower. In times of peace, such a fight would have been a sure defeat for one side, because no one thought that 'death would make people more persistent'.

But in today's war years, it turns out that people in peacetime are wrong, and human beings really make choices beyond the physiology of their own species.

From September, especially in November.

On the battlefields of Saturn's global globe, without the participation of all the stars, the Federation is still losing ground on the main battlefield of Qianchuan.

On the side of the Seeking Advancement, three to five Dragon Guards regiments are often put in to hold back the offensive force of a theater federal commander. Seven to eight more Dragon Guard regiments were dispatched, and under the cover of their own missiles and the early warning of air-based radars on the Federation's nuclear strikes, they completed the combat mission of breaking the defense many times.

Although each attack, the Advance Club often paid the price of 3 to 6 non-commissioned officers. However, this has been able to snatch the time gap with the Federation's Holy Lance Celestials and accumulate a win rate in space.

In 57, Junjie Xingxing, who was near the end of the line, planned a way of war that did not require a 'superior commander' for the Advancement Society, and it was also a summary of everything he had done in Saturn in the past twenty years.

So far.

The Five of the Stars had still not been able to produce a military professional among the mortals of Sato to rival the superior commanders, but the progress of the mortals as a group had forced the Bright Stars to retreat.

Ten years ago, they were only good enough to fight the commanders in the sea with their own help, and now they are standing alone on the ground and charging against the commanders' fire.

A total of 290,000 people in the military organization of the Seeking Progress Association have reached the level of '3 per 10,000' in the past. Far more than the promotion rate of the best in any period of time in the past 800 years of the Federation. And more importantly, these "superior" people, compared with the past, have lost their arrogance of 'being superior', and are willing to work as a collective with those who are weaker than themselves when competing with themselves, and are willing to open the way for the team.

Twenty years ago, if the federal civilians were seeking the spirit of today, artificial intelligence would not have formed the logic of the "Great Purging" at all.

After the end of the three battles of the Heavenly Knight in 857 of the Cosmic Calendar, the Quest for Progress also entered a full-scale counteroffensive posture in the Qianchuan strategy. The large corps has expanded its strategic depth by 1.5 times along the base area that has been picked up in the past 56 years, and has reached the fortress of Kunshan to the west, and has resisted the Haobei Plateau to the north. The blade has reached the interior of the continent directly. This echoes the victory of the Hermit Era over the Celestial Knights of the Federation in the universe.

Su Tianji and others are still making their final efforts. But in my heart, I have given up the standard of 'winning'.

This war has been fought to this day - the elites of the holy spear who have dominated for two hundred years, in the face of the war organization formed by the existence of grass mustard twenty years ago, can only take chess as the highest purpose at the moment.

The celestial tower was born in the stars, and really turned over the chess that was thought to be impossible to turn the game back then.

……

"You can't lose so badly!" When Su Tianji made a wish this year, he repeated this thing like a demon. (Oh, and this year the Celestial Knight has died in a large chunk, and there are indeed more meteors than in previous years.) ）

Su Tianji has lowered his psychological expectations sharply for the third time.

This kind of Tianjiao lowers expectations, but it is not the 21st century when ordinary people make a wish for the Spring Festival every year, last year's "make a lot of money, find (opposite-sex) friends, and lose weight" cannot be realized, and a sentence of haha can be laughed off. Every time the previous expectations are denied, the burden is progressively weighed on the body.

Su Tianji pointed to the map and faced all the participants, introducing his final battle plan for this year.

"Now their offense is getting stronger and stronger, but here, and here—" Su Tianji pointed to the southwest and northeast, and drew an arrow at the root of the salient within the 3,000-kilometer range of the Qianchuan River.

Su Tianji's meaning is very clear, to carry out a wave of strategic outflanking, forcing the Qiu Jinhui to shrink the offensive now; Of course, if it can, it is even more wonderful to annihilate all the land salients of the Seeking Advance Society in one fell swoop and inflict heavy damage.

Of course, the more satisfactory the outcome of the plan, the more difficult it will be to implement, and the other higher-ranking commanders were very solemn when they faced Su Tianji's proposal!

Because the greater the opportunity, the greater the risk, and the success of strategic outflanking certainly has great benefits, but this kind of strategic action spans a very long distance, and its assault corps is very easy to be counter-truncated.

Of course, most of the commanders still stood on Su Tianji's side and advocated fighting! - Because it is not only Su Tianji's 'arrogance' who can hold a meeting here.

But a small number of people felt that something was wrong and said the opposite direction at this time.

When Su Tianji was about to decide on the plan, his wife Rong Jixuan finally stood on his opposite side in this public occasion.

Rong Jixuan: "I don't recommend taking risks, our opponent is a winning chess player, looking at his many years of fighting, his style is to leave no flaws." ”

Su Tianji glanced at her, and then calmly pointed to the huge gaps on both sides of the protrusion on the map and said, "But the flaw has appeared now." If you hesitate, you will lose. ”

However, Rong Jixuan wanted to continue to refute, but Bai Jiuyang stopped her.

Su Tianji stared at Rong Jixuan and seemed to be ordering, but in fact he explained, and even said with a hint of begging in his eyes: "He is already a stranger, but this is my last chance." ”

In the past 20 years, Su Tianji really wants to have an all-out contest with Jun Xingxing.

Bai Jiuyang looked at Su Tianji: "Since you are ready, you must do it well." ”

……

After the meeting.

Bai Jiuyang and Rong Jixuan still kept their correspondence.

Bai Jiuyang: "I know, you feel that something is wrong, but Jixuan, war is a continuation of politics. We are holding back the line of troops on the fortress of Kushan and dragging it down, and the results we are about to get are meaningless to us. The feathers in space seem to be in touch with you as well, and the controllers are becoming more and more pessimistic about this war. ”

Rong Jixuan immediately responded: "Yes, we are about to lose in this 18-year confrontation, but at the end of the day, this is not a reason to mess around!" Senior, as a heroic commander, can't you see this! Rush the attack, it's more defeats and fewer wins! ”

Bai Jiuyang looked at Rong Jixuan and said slowly: "And in the stalemate day and night, people's confidence is constantly being eroded, and we are actually defeated!" Summoning up the last of your confidence and fighting another battle, the result will not be much worse! At least now there is a new hope. ”

Rong Jixuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he thought of Su Tianji's unwilling eyes, the words turned into a sigh.

Bai Jiuyang: "Win or lose." Everything, everything has to have a result. Su Tianji and your brother are the same, and they can't afford to consume that person. And he, well, should have figured that out as well. ”

Rong Jixuan was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Senior, do you know that Jun Xingxing will be like this!" So why, no-"

Bai Jiuyang silently looked at Saturn outside the space window, and exhaled: "Alas, I couldn't see it before, but now I can see it clearly, he is only Shenger." ”

Bai Jiuyang never thought in the past that when the war broke out, the side that was willing to spend twenty years to win would be the one who had a short career.

……

Meanwhile.

Saturn, from the Eastern Continent to the oceans of the world, the supreme decision-making meeting of the Seeker's War is also in full swing.

Supersaturated information optical cables laid underground, and dense and complex information networks are being built.

In particular, in the ocean, in the major deep-sea basins, when the Qiujin Society firmly occupies the seabed, its informatization density is unprecedented, and there is an information station almost every 100 meters.

If before the war, human beings controlled the ocean, and controlled every inch of the ocean's skin, then now the control of the Seeking Advancement Association is to the point where 'the details of pores can be seen'.

Under the control of such information, the talent chain of the Seeking Advancement Association is more than enough to cope with the sea counterattack, but last year the land landing war was opened, and the demand for the talent chain has increased again.

In Jun Juexing's view: Now in the Seeking Advancement Corps, only 290,000 people have reached the micronization of the body. With two million people, five or six new battlefields similar to Qianchuan could be opened around the world.

In 57 years, the casualties of the land war reached 5,633, a large number of experiences were summed up, the organizational structure was constantly run-in, and 38,744 people were added. In 58, we will strive to reach 60,000 soldiers in terms of replenishment.

Ten years ago, the idea was for the Magnetocloud to land in the Cryptozoic Era, and with interstellar support, Saturn would win the war of resistance.

And now, Jun Juxing has confirmed the requirement that 'the Hidden Era can win the war without landing'.

Of course, if there is another twenty years of development, the Jacking Star 5 feels that the Cryptozoic Era is to retract the Magnetic Cloud Star, and the Federation fleet will come back, and the Advance Society will be able to win the war. ——With the development of time, the faster the strength of the people will grow, and in the future, there will be not only millions of non-commissioned officers, but also a large number of elites who will be reborn and no less than the commanders of the Federation.

Of course, like the Federation, there is no time left.

Deep in the ocean, in the virtual hall, the 1,245 members of the Seeker Association are discussing this year's final showdown.

These people from the various war modules of the Seeker Association fully exchange the war information obtained from their own perspectives.

Among the members who participated in the meeting, on the high-definition light and shadow display, some of them were wearing combat readiness sensing suits, and the magic vein system on their bodies had not yet cooled, obviously just coming down from the battlefield duty.

On the three-dimensional projection sand table on the ground, there is a strategic map of the entire Qianchuan, and the map is clearly marked with the blue arrow of the Federation, and the possible attack from the two strategic directions of the northeast and southwest.

And the sand table is also rapidly deduced and developed. When the Federation launched an attack, the 6,000-kilometer coastline was immediately followed by a large-scale landing. As many as twenty red arrows carried out a counter-outflanking of the Federation, each arrow was a group assault force composed of forty or fifty thousand men.

"They attack, we will attack!" "Here, here, and here—"

With the wave of the information transmitter on the arm, the offensive lines were determined, and the time, place, and size of the troops began to be distributed in a precise calculation. Stereoscopic projection pop-ups pop up at nodes in the red offensive line. Jun Xingxing is still high-spirited, and it seems that he can fight for another 10,000 years.

With the above strategic deployment, it is obvious that the side of the Seeking Advancement Association cannot lose. However, when it came to securing the fundamentals, Jun Xingxing further despised the other side strategically. ——Different from "only adventures in times of crisis", this is "only skin when it is stable".

The strategic deployment of Jun Xingxing is not only to contain outflanking, but also to play anti-outflanking! This war can be won in the mode of seeking advancement, but Jun Jiexing himself still has to play at the level of his superior commander and play his own style.

Later in the session.

Jun picks up stars (chuckles): "The outflanking and cutting off of the 6,000-kilometer span, the size of the corps used, and the theater of operations involved are very large. In the gap generated by the transfer, he has a really big heart, no matter what, as long as he dares, I dare to return. ”

Jun Jiexing walked to the north of the strategic map, based on Gushan City, and with a wave of his hand, he directly deployed the 30,000 scale and 30 assault regiments directly at the front.

This war will be the largest star watch war in Saturn's history,—— and this time it will be an 'unprecedented' achievement.

"Comrades, I've finished my introduction, do you have anything to add?" ”

A large number of hands were raised in unison at the venue, and in this virtual venue, the tips of each person who raised their hands were marked with pop-up windows. Obviously, there are many opinions, so looking at the pop-up window in front of him on the rostrum, Jun Xingxing paused, and pointed to Tian Jiebo to speak in the order of raising his hand.

Tian Jiebo: "Sir, the central salient lures the enemy, there is a major risk, I think this task, I think it may not be appropriate for you to carry it out......"

Four minutes later, he finished his speech, sat back, and looked at the meeting chief with the others, waiting for a further response.

Jun Jiexing is still clinging to his original decision: "This task is only for me to carry out." ”

Jun Jiexing's smile at this time was calm and impassioned, and he raised his hand and said: "On the other side, there are Su Tianji, Rong Jixuan, Bai Jiuyang, etc., they are all my acquaintances."

Each of the senior commanders has a unique style of operation, and I have studied each of them very well, in other words, I have been studied by them for a long, long time, so as soon as I appear, they can be recognized within an hour, in other words, you can't pretend to be me. ”

There was silence for a while, and then there was a conversation between the heads and ears, and it was obvious that some people in the Seeking Advancement Club did not want to give up the 'persuasion to pick up the stars'.

Jun Xingxing also encouraged everyone with a smile as he did 18 years ago: "The bright future is always a gap with us in reality, and if we want to move forward, we always need some people to fill it." To this day, the other side has been defeated, but it still wants to implicitly accept this historical lesson - this can't be!

The three battles of the Magnetic Cloud Star Knights wiped the truth completely and slapped it on their faces, (all of them pointed to their feet) and then they were still here, raising their winged knives to pry open the mouths of those guys who had gone to the sky hundreds of years earlier, and read the truth to me! ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Jun Jiexing said word by word the concept that he believed in the fourth life: "The just war of history is not aimed at eliminating the weak, but to determine the right - when civilization moves forward, the weak should be beaten for backwardness, and the superior should also be beaten for advancement." ”
