Chapter 105: The Storm Rises (1)
The war escalates!
The emergency documents of the Western Theater, the Northern Theater, and the Southern Theater were piled up like snowflakes on the desks of the Allied High Command.
In front of the square building in Hyde and Gerde, the capital of Feiyang, the flying cars of the officials of the various parks were parked. In the corridor of the building, the staff members who are in a hurry are buzzing like a swarm of headless flies. One moment to the east, the other to the west.
The officials who were originally dressed in suits and leather shoes and had a good demeanor have completely lost their calmness and stability.
They walked back and forth, anxiously waiting, or stuck in a heap, talking worriedly. Their eyes were "watching their surroundings at all times, and whenever the confidential secretary of a certain official of the headquarters came out to watch, they would hula and surround them, or roar loudly, or plead bitterly."
Footsteps, phone calls, shouting, one after another. The whole building is as if it is firmly wrapped in a deafening sound, and all kinds of sounds can't stop drilling into the ears, and Cao Zao's noise can't stop it. "Did you hear that the third line of the Carlston Galaxy has been lost, and the Binalter fleet has already arrived at the Feiyang Landscape Line!" "The worst in the west, the Muharraq system has been lost, the commander of the three armies of Elon Republic, Admiral Muraf, was killed, 1.2 million troops were wiped out on Muharraq, and the Republican fleet was almost incapacitated." "What's so bad about that, Elon was originally in a remote terrain, no matter how he fought, at least it wouldn't affect the overall situation, and eighty percent of the important spatial jump points in the northern theater of operations "have already been controlled by the Western Covenant" and will be unbearable. If the General Headquarters does not send additional reinforcements, none of the thirteen member gardens in the Northern Theater will be spared! "God, where did Siyo get so many troops?" "Sober was in full swing. The forces of the Western Covenant had already been integrated by him. Contemplating the West Covenant up and down with one mind. The military power of each garden has been handed over to the command of Sober, and it is under the unified coordination and command of the famous generals of the Western Covenant. The troops only obeyed the orders of the coalition command, and did not even listen to the orders of their emperor! It can be done to this extent. It's no wonder you can't win. It's ridiculous that we are still arguing and fighting. Fuck, if it goes on like this" in less than a year, everyone will be finished together! ”
"I heard that the bandit army has come out of the moth again. They want to start a new coalition. ”
"These guys don't weigh themselves either.
They set up another coalition and obediently cheated on their command? ”
"That's a good thing! Looking at the Filipino League, I can see it. A plate of loose sand. Everyone cares only about themselves. In addition, a group of idiot parliamentarians are involved in the middle, and they can't do their business, and they are desperately dragging their feet, and sooner or later they will be finished. The bandit army is a reputation in the end. With the support of His Excellency the God of War, "starting a new stove is to painfully fight this battle." Hey, as long as you can get down to the Pinarte Imperial Garden, don't talk about the bandits. Just fucking hooligans, I'm also participating. "At the Thunder Mecha Trial, the bandit army showed a big face. These guys, who don't know where the advanced technology came from, gave all the scholars in the garden to Zhenrui's super arms dealers at that time, and when they mentioned the purchase of thunder, their heads were about to shake off. "There are bandit mecha in front." Whoever wants their mech, who is an idiot. ”
"Meteor Company, this time it's the right bet. As soon as Robinson went back, the board of directors directly promoted him to the CEO of Meteor, and Matt's old guy saw Robinson and went up to be a bear hug. Management meetings. There was a jealous suggestion that he shouldn't offend Li Fo's side, so he asked Matt to get out at that time. ”
"That guy deserves it, Matt wants to be the first arms dealer, and he has thought about it all his life. Robinson earned him such a big credit, not to mention one Li Fo, even if it was ten Li Fo, Matt didn't care. This old guy is notoriously soft and hard. Big hands, lots of friends. There were a lot of people behind him to support him, and Guan Zai took this opportunity to hug the thigh of His Excellency the God of War, and the old guy didn't know how to be famous! ”
"The twelfth generation of mecha has already begun to be produced, and it has already been finalized, and the new technology of the bandit army is also completed, or it will take less than a month. As soon as the mecha is pulled, it's time to get off the production line. It's just that I don't know if the bandit army is ready to wait until the new mecha is dispatched this time. The situation in the Southeast Star Field. It's not that pretty. ”
"These Lelei people are really incomprehensible. Under the siege of several large gardens in the west. After persisting for four years, not to mention, when it came to Guanzai, it actually conjured up a bandit army with independent command.
Hey, I'm convinced. They are men in the war, and they are no worse than anyone else in this calculation.
I didn't know what they wanted to do when they gave their fat man an independent command.
Hey" view, I really have to admire. Just this fat man, born in Mars, pulled up another army for Leray! "In terms of the situation, the most dangerous is the southeastern theater. Several of the main members of the Western Covenant are here, and the three gardens of Souss, Jeppon, and Desik, have been united. In addition, this time the Sheldon fleet took over the Leray Central Star Field, so that Susjiepeng freed up his hands to fight Reske, this battle, the bandit army is difficult! "The hardest of all is His Excellency the God of War, and Sober is clearly here for him. The members of the United Council have already begun to step up their actions against His Excellency the War God, if the southwest war is lost. Li Fo can do a big job in the Lane war zone, and I'm afraid the command can't withstand it. If you defend Your Excellency the God of War, they will be impeached. "People gathered and talked about the situation in front of them.
Outside the headquarters building, there was a wide isolation area, and hundreds of guards and park security personnel with serious expressions made the building look as silent as ever. And in the building, there are all kinds of voices talking.
Lord Hastings, when do you want to see it on the sidelines! This time, is he still not going to make a move? If that little ally of his loses, I'm afraid that the entire Filipino Alliance will have to change the sky!
The heavy door to the conference room opened, and Francis walked briskly into the room.
The heads of the gardens who had been waiting in the conference room for a long time all stood up to greet the president of the head of the Filipino Alliance, the supreme commander of the command.
Shaking hands with the leaders one by one, Francis sat down on the first seat, looked around and said, "Gentlemen, it is clear that we are in big trouble. He gestured to Admiral McKinley: "Admiral McKinley, you will explain." "Yes," Your Excellency the President. With a serious expression, McCutter stood up, walked to the interstellar map on the side wall of the conference room, and began to explain the new round of military operations in the West Covenant marked by the Sheldon fleet's appearance in the central star field of Leray. From the "Southeastern Theater of Operations" to the Eastern Theater of Operations, to the North, to the West, and now to the Carlston Theater of Operations.
As McKinley spoke, the already ugly faces of the heads of the gardens became even more ugly.
Before coming here, they were very aware of the blow they had suffered, but in their view. That was only the beginning of a series of military operations in the West. With the collapse of the jump points related to each park on the interstellar map and the current distribution of forces in the Western Covenant, the situation is actually more severe than what is currently encountered. "The sudden offensive of the Western Covenant" has exceeded our expectations. McKinley said heavily, "Command must admit that we have miscalculated the strength of the Western Covenant. ”
"This estimate is based on a combination of intelligence over the years and the economic and military situation of the western parks," asked a president from the western part of the country, "how can there be such a big error?" ”
This president, who used to be a well-known general in the Western Star Field, is obviously much sharper in military affairs than many politicians here who have never even touched a gun. He questioned: "Judging by the current offensive situation in Western Covenant. They need to increase their military strength by nearly forty percent before it is possible to launch such an offensive on the entire interstellar territory, and such a huge force is absolutely impossible to be outside the range of our intelligence officers. ,”
"Right now, we're doing a new assessment," McKinley nodded, "and that's exactly where we're confused." The only explanation is that the West Covenant has completed the integration, unified deployment, and unified command of its members. Unified action to give full play to its greater combat effectiveness. The Western Covenant troops, which are different in the major theaters, also support this inference.
"Integrating troops can increase their attack strength by forty percent?" Marshall, the Minister of Defense of Lane Republic, frowned, tapped his knuckles on the armrests of the mahogany soft leather seat, and said loudly.
"There are 36 member gardens in the West that participated in the war, among them, the geographical location, military strength, economic and logistical capabilities, weapons and personnel quality of each park are different, not to mention anything else" Their space fleet alone spans at least three generations. The old man is still using the fleet model of sixty years ago, relying on numbers to win. The latest ones are the new warships ordered from the Naga Federation and the Binalte Imperial Garden, who can integrate such a complex force composition? How to unify the logistics supply and command system? Not to mention increasing its combat effectiveness by 40%! Marshall's words drew the echo of the heads of the gardens. In everyone's opinion, this inference is completely untenable. To lead the army of a garden family has required the cooperation of countless people, to integrate all the troops of the garden family in the West Covenant, unified command, unified logistics supply, unified coordination, this is equivalent to concentrating a separate game of chess into a huge chessboard, and the workload involved is a lost number.
No matter how huge the staff in this world is, no matter how powerful Skynet is, it is impossible to accomplish such a job. And without a unified Skynet, even if Sober has countless famous generals, there is no way to effectively command the army of the various gardens that he does not know at all. "Your Excellency President Francis," Marshall said, standing up, solemnly, "in view of the present harsh situation, we ask Field Marshal Hastings to explain. As the chief commander of the coalition command, "he is responsible for the current situation." If he does not fulfill his duties, he should not continue to sit in this position! ”
Marshall looked around, looked at the eyes of the leaders of the gardens, and said suddenly: "We need a leader to lead us to win this war!" ”
"How's it going, to the limit?" Hastings' withered fingers tapped rapidly on the virtual keyboard of the deduction computer. On the huge virtual light curtain in the middle of the oval room, the red and blue troops are fighting.
"Fart", the fat man opposite, already sweating profusely, nervously dispatched his troops, left and right on a front, hundreds of kilometers long, resisting the mercury-like attack of Hastings, and shouted, "It's not fair that you play like this." You don't count the casualties. It also requires that my casualty rate should not exceed 10 percent. "There's no way, whoever told us to have only such a small number of troops", Hastings's face was cold: "If you can't stop it, the Southeast Star Domain will simply be thrown to Sober." The "Whoa...... electronic sound, and the fat man collapsed in his chair, stunned as he watched the 11 percent casualty rate on the virtual screen.
This is his twentieth defeat today. Although his total strength was four divisions and Hastings had only two armored divisions, "he could not exceed ten percent casualties" in the setting of the conditions for victory in the confrontation. In the face of Hastings' frantic attack, it was an almost impossible task.
This is an offensive and defensive deduction game that revolves around a city. In the first few confrontations, the fat man lost because the casualty rate exceeded the set line when the battle progressed less than 30 percent, and in the next few times, he finally dragged the battle to the middle game. But until the end of the war, there is still no time to go.
How do you stop Hastings' near-frenzied attack with a casualty rate of 10 percent? The fat man's gaze searched back and forth on the combat map. The lines of defense, strategic points, highways and passages, in his eyes, turned into deduction symbols, densely rotating and evolving, giving him a headache.
"Take a break." Hastings pushes the wheelchair. Said to Margaret on the side: "Maji, give me a cup of tea." ”
Margaret looked worriedly at the fat man who was frowning and looking at the computer screen in a daze, turned around and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Hastings, and said softly: "Grandpa, why don't you let him" Some things "need him to understand by himself, the process is very painful", Hastings waved his hand lightly and took a sip of tea" "What seems impossible, in fact, there are countless possibilities. It's just that he can't see it yet. By breaking through the bottleneck of his thinking on his own, he will get much more than I can give guidance. "General Russell. And so it was with him," Margaret's delicate body squatted down slightly, and placed her hands affectionately on Hastings' knees.
"This kid is a genius", Hastings recalled the small-scale troop command skills he had shown in the fat man's previous exercises, and his eyes showed a hint of approval: "It is precisely because he has not accepted formal military theories that he can go off the rails and complete so many miraculous battles." Defeat opponents who are far stronger than him. Russell did the right thing, and we could only guide him to naturally form his own tactical thinking and style, not to influence it. ”
"But we don't have time, the situation in the southeast," Margaret said worriedly.
"His opponent is Sober," Hastings said expressionlessly, "If I only focus on the Southeast Star Domain, why should I bother with such efforts. What I need is a commander who can continue this war after me. This man must have a sharper sense of touch and a wider view than Sauber. ”
Hastings said, patting Margaret's hand lightly, and his expression relaxed: "I know that Leray's current situation makes him unable to concentrate at all, and his heart can't calm down.
And this "is precisely his greatest weakness." His identity is not that of a charging soldier, but of a commander. He needs to learn to control his emotions. "Control your emotions?
A wry smile appeared on Margaret's beautiful face, "Look at the fat man with pity."
Since he knew that Sheldon, the famous general of the Western Covenant, had come to the central galaxy of Leray, the fat man had hardly slept well in the past few days. The small building that Bernadotte specially arranged for him, he basically never went back.
The manufacturing of the Thunder Mecha, the preparation of the Joint Research Department, and the training and combat readiness of the bandit army He not only had to deal with the affairs of the bandit army, but also took into account the Chakner army that was out of the body of the Guanzai and the bandit army. There are so many official documents at hand and battle reports from the front line that I can't read them all.
It's just tired, that's it. But Margaret knew that "what really made the fat man miserable was the situation in Newton's system." Several times, she saw the fat man staring at the central galaxy of Lelei on the interstellar map in a daze. The blankness in her eyes made her heart ache and tighten for a while.
From an exiled destroyer to Guanzai, he desperately tried to catch up with the pace of time, but the monster of war once again ran ahead of him.
Margaret didn't dare to imagine how much of a blow Newton's jump would have to hit the fat man if he was breached.
However, if you don't defeat Yuto Mikami, if you don't completely wipe out Suss and Jeppen, there will be no way to get a fundamental reversal in the Southeast Theater.
Only by defeating Reske can Chuckner free up his hands and help the bandits recapture Leray Central Field. And with the strength of the bandit army, it is impossible to oppose the Binarte Imperial Garden.
How long will that be?
By that day, will the Newton galaxy still be there?
Margaret couldn't even bear to think about this answer. "Come again, old man!" The fat man's vicious voice came......
