"It was the eastern part of the Union, one of the first places the Federation owned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe local Mimatar people are almost integrated with the Yanhuang people, and we have no way of knowing how many people will be willing to fight for the freedom of the Free Alliance. ”

Just as there are Mimattars who are willing to betray the Yanhuang Federation because of the race in their bloodline, there are naturally Mimatar people who are willing to fight for the peace and tranquility of the Yanhuang Federation. Although people have different ideas and pursuits, it is enough to have the same position in this war.

However, Feng Qingyin objected to Lu Lu's optimism, and the loss of the eastern part would be extremely harmful to the Federation, after all, it was the traditional ruling area of the Federation, and the expression of industrial or agricultural output was only a small part of the total meaning of the eastern region. The Mimatar people who live in the east may not be friendly to the Federation, as this intelligence leak is not an isolated case in the entire Federation Navy.

"Too much trust is indulgence, and there is a truth to that." In the admiral's lounge of Fang Xuan, Feng Qingyin, who was temporarily confined to himself in order to avoid suspicion, was a little embarrassed in the face of Lu Lu, a junior. However, Feng Qingyin also had to admit that she was negligent, she never thought that it was her intelligence staff officer who was suspected of tampering with information. The betrayal of the major general made the entire Gillesis cluster passive.

But now is not the time to complain about federal policy, Lu Lu thought with a wry smile. He had never doubted Feng Qingyin's prestige in the Seventh Fleet, or even the entire Federation Navy. Lu Lu also knew that this would greatly damage the dignity of the Seventh Fleet. If it weren't for the insurgents occupying the intelligence and communications department, he would never have chosen this way in order to avoid the possibility of infighting.

Looking at the calm appearance of retreating, leaving only the tired Feng Qingyan, Lu Lu clenched his fists, and was very sad in his heart. But he couldn't say anything. Just because he is also the Grand Admiral of the Federal Navy, here, no one understands Feng Qingyin's mood better than Lu Lu. Any word is a question of that pride.

"You are the commander of the Gillesis cluster of the Federal Navy, and there is no doubt about that from the moment I received the order from the High Command. So forgive me for the rudeness that I have tarnished your glory before. ”

Falcon's respectful words were apologetic, sincere, and Lu Lu easily discerned the emotion from those words. Falcon, who was also in power, chose to appease, but Feng Qingyin didn't seem to notice this, or rather, the Federation Admiral, who was a little disgusted with Falcon, didn't care about the sympathy of the subordinates. Feng Qingyin raised his head to look at Lu Lu, and then waved his hand with a bit of resentment, as if to dispel something: "There is no next time, Lu Lu." ”

"People's hearts are unpredictable, and you and I can't guarantee it." Lu Lu, who was sitting on the sofa and playing with the scepter, did not comfort him, but accused him in a casual tone. "After all, if you hadn't been too big, you shouldn't have suffered such a loss."

Even Lu Lu could not have imagined that an officer in such an important position as the flagship intelligence staff officer would become a traitor. Not only did it avoid the two-level internal scrutiny of the fleet cluster, but it even called out the thief to catch the thief and frame his colleagues. If it weren't for Lu Lu thinking of launching information interception, he wouldn't have known that Fang Xue had such a major security vulnerability.

"I admit it was my mistake this time. But now, I want to continue to serve as the Cluster Commander. I will let the blood of the Confederates wash away this humiliation. Feng stood up suddenly, and his serious expression made Lu Lu unjust serious.

"Of course, you are the commander-in-chief of the Gillesis cluster appointed by the Federal Naval Command. Until the end of the war, I endorse your orders. Lu Lu's face was only determined, but he didn't say all his thoughts. If Feng Qingyin can't get out of the defeat blow, then Lu Lu can only forcibly take over the command of the cluster, but this is not what Lu Lu wants to see.

In the military system of the Federation, cluster is a more rigorous name than the Joint Command. The supreme commander of the cluster was called the commander-in-chief and was far superior to the commander of the fleet in rank of position. In the past history of the Federation, there have never been only two Grand Admirals in a cluster. Under normal circumstances, under the command of the commander-in-chief, there are at least four admirals and nearly 100 commanders of the detachment.

And with only two Grand Admirals, the delicate maintenance of the balanced cluster of Gillesis is too unconventional. The run-in between the Central Fleet and the Local Fleet has not yet been completed, and it is now only barely maintained. With such a complex status quo of the Gillesis cluster, it can still maintain its basic combat capability, which is completely maintained by the personal prestige of Feng Qingyin, the commander-in-chief. Therefore, Lu Lu didn't want to take over such a hot potato.

"Well, although we lost a lot this time, it was not without gains. At the very least, we fulfilled the tasks assigned by the High Command. Although the meaning of the High Command is to let us attract part of the enemy forces. However, it does not mean that we cannot completely destroy these enemies. After the idle things had come to an end, Lu Lu whispered to Feng about his initial thoughts.

"Completely killed? Where do you think we're now? It's just a small galaxy, and there's not enough resources for us to build a base. Otherwise, the Confederates would not have set up an ambush ring here. Time and resources are not permitted. ”

"It's really barren around here, but there are still tens of thousands of warship wrecks on the battlefield. We can try recycling. ”

The wreckage floats in the shipping lanes, and perhaps after the truce, the junk merchants and scavengers will push the low-value wreckage into the stars. But now, it's a resource that can be recycled.

"I've calculated, this part of the resources is enough to build most of the fortress." Lu Lu casually opened the file in his personal terminal, and the data collected after the battle constituted this report. "We can build an armed fortress here, and the insufficient part can be connected with a transport ship or an aircraft carrier. If the construction is successful, the cluster can use this as a foundation to contain the enemy's main fleet here. At the same time, we are sending elite forces to disrupt the enemy's supply lines and provide support for the eastern theater. ”

"How much time does it take to build a fortress? You know, we're in a situation where we don't have support and we don't have an industrial base...... Hmm, I heard you're doing a good job in the Wellspring Domain? But you see, now our army is in a weak position, and the enemy, once ready, will attack again. As Lu Lu expected, Feng Qingyin's attention shifted to the work schedule of the Gillesis cluster.

"The enemy will not come anytime soon." Lelu opened the star map and swiped his finger across the red-dyed eastern part of the Federation, eventually landing on the nameless galaxy now marked green. "When the previous battle began, did you think about it now? When the enemy's main fleet jumps into the battlefield and you choose to lead the fleet to block it. ”

Feng Qingyin listened to it, and only wanted to reply with one word: nonsense. At the time, I was scared to death, but now it seems that I was scared of myself.

Any qualified fleet commander, with twice the number and twice the advantage in bearing, could not have lost in an engagement. Therefore, Feng Qingyin at that time was almost frightened to death by the number of enemy troops that exceeded the expected number by nearly four times. If the commanders of the two armies get along with each other in different places, let alone turn defeat into victory, it is normal for the opponent to be annihilated.

"Even I, in that case, am at least sure to keep you." Lu Lu smiled and opened the battle record casually. Feng Qingyin unexpectedly discovered that this was the strategic record of the fleets of both sides. "Jumping into the battlefield is a classic in terms of timing and position. At this time, if you choose to join me, they will have not six directions, but sixteen. ”

Whatever your thoughts at the time, at least that choice influenced the future. As your fleet prepares to enter the sniper position, Feng Yiwu reacts at the same time. Her fleet maintained an artillery formation, moving to the left behind me. To cover her, and also to provide you with support, I move towards your right flank. Lu Lu poked the blue mark on the chart a little unwillingly. Our intentions are clear. So, if you were the commander of the Allied forces, what would you do? ”

In the military schools of the Federal Navy, there is an optimal standard answer. Let go of the first echelon and directly attack the junction of the second and third echelons. It's not a weakness in the formation, it's a weakness in the whole battle. Whether it is the use of artillery shelling shielding, or the direct interception of the fleet assault, it is more correct than the Allies doing nothing.

"The Confederates didn't do anything, just let you occupy two positions and provide us with a barrier at the same time." Lu Lu pointed to the red enemy mark, and the corners of his mouth were extremely unpleasant. Lu Lu and Feng Yiwu had a very tacit understanding at that time, and they prepared many back-ups, but they didn't use any of them. On the battlefield, there is nothing worse than the commander doing nothing.

"At first, I thought it was a deliberate flaw, after all, I could personally come up with dozens of countermeasures. But in fact, they did not attack this area until the end, not even a single shelling. They continued to assemble until half an hour later, when we were out of the area. At this time, this position is already in the zone of our all-out attack. ”

After numerous sacrifices in the space of half an hour, the Confederates rallied the fleet within the artillery coverage of the Union Navy. If it weren't for the fact that they had more troops, the battle would have ended long ago, with the Union Navy winning more with less.

"Well, I guess I see what you mean." Feng Qingyin had already understood. After all, he was one of the best commanders in the Federal Navy, and perhaps the situation at that time did not allow her to think carefully. However, Lu Lu had already given a reminder, and she naturally figured it out. "That's what you mentioned in your report a year ago, the shortcomings of the clone fleet?"

Stable and mechanical, when paired with a good commander, is a nightmare for all armies in the world. However, the Confederates demonstrated the fact that the Clone Fleet was no match for the Federation Navy without numerical superiority.

"The Confederate Forces shouldn't have that many troops. They won't engage us on a large scale until they have a greater chance of winning. Lu Lu said with almost certainty, but in his heart he felt sorry for his opponent. That fleet of clones does have a strong will. Their obedience, their sacrifices, were given to a group of amateur commanders.

Regarding the Freedom Alliance's somewhat quick success, Lu Lu tapped the star map that would always be in the Admiral's Lounge almost mockingly. The gaze lingers on the area occupied by the Liberal Alliance, where numerous galaxies have been marked red, and the eastern part of the former Federation is now blinding red. (To be continued.) )
