"I want you to take the Marine Regiment to the Golden Lion, and then find a way to urge Meng Kun to start arresting the local rebels for me immediately." Feng Kailong said very seriously: "After catching the rebels, find a way to ask for something useful, even if you catch the wrong one, it doesn't matter, just let it go slowly in the future." ”

"Understood, but I need more intel on the rebels." Chen Weixing nodded and said.

"That's no problem, I'll let the intelligence department cooperate with you, as for what to do, it's up to you to decide who to arrest. If Meng Kun has any objections, you can ask him to ask me, and I will explain to him. Feng Kailong emphasized.

"Yes, I'll get ready right away."

"Go ahead, go when you're ready, and don't have to ask me for instructions." Feng Kailong said.

Feng Kailong is very relieved about Chen Weixing, this Marine Regiment Commander who has followed Feng Kailong for more than ten years is a person who is absolutely obedient to military orders, as long as he is sent, he will definitely be able to turn over the land of the Golden Lion.

In fact, Feng Kailong did not expect this kind of fanfare to capture the rebels' important figures, but such an action could deter the rebels, force them to take risks, and perhaps make the rebel fleet make some changes because of this.

The third encounter with the rebel fleet came later than Feng Kailong expected, and this time the rebel fleet rested for more than thirty hours before taking action again.

Feng Kailong still used the same tactics, arranging the formation early, waiting for the rebels to send them to the door.

The course of the battle was still the same, the warships of both sides were shooting at each other, and no one made any changes, as if it had become an unwritten rule, and everyone had to fight according to this method of warfare.

The 5th Fleet still used its advantage to put pressure on the rebel fleet, and the rebel fleet still made some mistakes and lost some ships.

But this time the rebels made a lot fewer mistakes than before, and in the end less than ten ships were destroyed, and when both sides were tired, the rebel fleet also retreated in time as if agreed.

According to the rules of the 5th Fleet, after each battle, as long as conditions permit, there will always be a summary meeting, but this time even Feng Kailong was not interested in holding this summary meeting.

Because there is nothing to summarize at all, this time is almost exactly the same as the last time and the last time, and it is just a waste of time to hold a summary meeting.

"Don't they want to win at all?" The doubts in Feng Kailong's heart became heavier and heavier.

The more he couldn't find an answer, the more uneasy Feng Kailong felt, it was the first time he had fought such a battle after decades of military service.

The other side did not want to win at all, and the 5th Fleet became more and more demoralized, and it was difficult to have a high sense of accomplishment in defeating an opponent who had no victory.

Feng Kailong said in his heart: "Otherwise, the next time we fight, we will fight a decisive battle with them, if the rebel fleet retreats, simply catch up and fight with him......"

However, Feng Kailong quickly denied this idea of taking risks, and was able to survive decades without losing a battle, relying on prudence and stability, because countless examples told him that the more risk-taking, the easier it is to capsize.

"It's better to deal with the rebels patiently, as long as they are invincible, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for them, the rebels are not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry to fight a decisive battle?" Feng Kailong's heart was no longer so anxious when he thought of this.

In the two weeks since, the two sides have played each other just three times, with little difference in the process and outcome. Now the matter of fighting seems to have evolved into a routine for both sides, and everyone fights back and forth, but it has little impact on the whole situation of the war.

On the contrary, it was the Marine Regiment sent by Feng Kailong to the Golden Lion Star that made a lot of progress, and under Chen Weixing's strong demand, Meng Kun had to start arresting a large number of rebels, and for a time it became huge.

In just two weeks, as many as 10,000 people have been captured in the Golden Lion alone, and how many of these people are rebels and how many are ordinary people can only be found out later when they are slowly examined.

Meng Kun thought that going on like this would seriously damage the local economy and normal order, so he talked to Feng Kailong more than once, asking Feng Kailong not to go too far, otherwise it would be difficult for everyone to explain to the above in the future.

However, this is exactly what Feng Kailong wants, he just hopes to force the rebels to react through the arrest operation, so that he can know what the rebels are having.

So Feng Kailong rejected Meng Kun in a strong word, and Meng Kun complained to the central government of the empire about Feng Kailong, but the top management of the empire expressed their support for Feng Kailong, after all, it is still up to Feng Kailong to fight the war, and it is impossible to transfer Feng Kailong and the 5th Fleet away because of Meng Kun's dissatisfaction at this time.

With the support of the Empire's higher-ups, Chen Weixing continued to expand the arrest operation, not only continuing to capture the rebels in the Golden Lion, but also starting large-scale arrest operations on the other two planets.

The entire Leon Star system is now at risk, and everyone is afraid that they will be caught if they say the slightest mistake.

Although the people who were arrested were not subjected to any abuse, the feeling of being locked up in prison was unpleasant after all, and in such an atmosphere, more and more people fled the Lion King system.

"When will this battle be fought? It's been procrastinating, it feels meaningless! A crew member of a particle cannon under repair complained.

"Get to work! Maybe it's going to start again! The maintenance squad leader urged.

"Squad leader, it's not me complaining, how can there be such a war, is it okay to have a good time?"

"the fart! If it's really happy, do you know how many people will die? The squad leader scolded angrily.

"Will our 5th Fleet still be afraid of these rebels? Such a procrastination really has the prestige of the 5th Fleet......"

"Okay, you're so powerful, why don't you tell the commander?"

The crew was chatting and unhurriedly repairing the ship's equipment, when suddenly the red warning lights lit up, followed by the sirens began to sound, and a new battle was about to begin.

Another two weeks have passed, and more than a month has passed since the start of the war, and the fleets of both sides are still in a stalemate. The caution of both sides turned the battle into an endless attrition, consuming not only a lot of supplies, but also the spirits of each other.

Even Feng Kailong, who has always been calm, began to sit still, mainly due to pressure from the top.

Due to Chen Weixing's arrest of a large number of suspected rebels, the entire Lion King Galaxy was extremely dissatisfied, and various complaints were sent to the high-level officials of the imperial capital, causing the high-level to also begin to express dissatisfaction with the slow progress of the battle.

"General, the Imperial Capital General Headquarters has sent another email, urging us to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible." Feng Kailong's adjutant said.

"Alas......" Feng Kailong sighed, in fact, he didn't want to end this battle as soon as possible, but he always felt that there was a conspiracy behind the rebels, and if he acted rashly, he didn't know what the result would be in the end.

"General, if we don't take any action, I'm afraid that the higher levels will really be held accountable, and I'm afraid it will be ......," the adjutant advised.

Feng Kailong understood what the adjutant meant, and pondered for a while before he said slowly: "Okay, let's send a detachment to go around behind the rebels and cut off their supply lines, so that we may be able to force the rebels to change." ”

"This is a good solution, which is safe and can temporarily stop the senior management from asking questions." The adjutant gave a thumbs up.

Feng Kailong was not so happy, this is also a helpless way, as for whether it can really work, in fact, no one knows.

After the order was given, a detachment of thirty ships broke away from the large force and flew around the edge of the Lion King system, trying to cut off the supply lines from behind the rebel fleet.

The rebel fleet did react, and if the supply line was cut off, they would not be able to confront the 5th Fleet for a long time, but the rebels did not split their fleets to meet them, but transferred another fleet from elsewhere.

The fleet reinforced by the rebels was a fleet of pirates of all kinds, and such a fleet was not at all a match for the well-trained 5th Fleet.

The battle between the two modest fleets took place at the edge of the Lion King system, and it was no surprise that the 5th Fleet had crushed the pirate fleet, destroying most of the ships except for a few who escaped.

When this news was transmitted back to the imperial capital, the military top brass was very happy, and they immediately commended the 5th Fleet, and also commended Meng Kun, the chief commander of the Lion King Galaxy.

Although it was only a small victory, it also saved many doubts about the 5th Fleet, and Feng Kailong also regained the trust of the military leadership.

However, just when the emperor was full of confidence, the rebels finally made a big move, and a large fleet came to the vicinity of the Lion King planet.

When this fleet appeared, the detachment of the 5th Fleet, which was responsible for cutting off the supply line, immediately noticed it, and they immediately reported it to the commander of the fleet, Feng Kailong.

Feng Kailong was also taken aback when he learned that this was a large fleet, and if the previous rebel fleet was added, the number of enemies now far exceeded that of the 5th Fleet, and the situation suddenly became critical.

"Report to the military hierarchy immediately and ask them to send a fleet to support!" Feng Kailong said to the adjutant.

"Yes! I'll go! ”

"Also, let the detachments in front withdraw immediately, and don't fight the rebels, this fleet is impossible to fight the enemy's opponent." Feng Kailong said worriedly.

"Understood!"

After receiving the order, the detachment in front immediately turned around and retreated towards the White Lion, and at this time, behind them, one after another battleships were breaking away from the leaping subspace, and then heading towards the White Lion Star at high speed.

The officers and soldiers of the 5th Fleet, looking at the steady stream of rebel fleets, began to be afraid, "With so many ships, how can we resist them?" ”
