Chapter 123: The Master (19)

Admiral Bernadotte, allow me, on behalf of the whole of Chacner, to express my gratitude to you. The agitated Admiral Chakner Rabinski squeezed in front of Bernadotte and grabbed Bernadotte's hand. The lips with a puffy beard trembled slightly because of the excessive agitation: "It's a miracle!" ”

Rabinsky's words drew the echo of the generals gathered around.

Whether it is Husseini of Siljak, McKinley of Fyan, Ureth of Ryan or Hearst of Puditok ~ The generals' gaze at Bernadotte at this moment is very different.

The importance of capturing Humphrey is no longer in doubt. After Yuto Mikami's successful sneak attack on Canglang Star, it is not an exaggeration to say that the bandit fleet saved the entire Resque battle!

The Nineteenth Fleet is still there, and so is the Longbow System! The Humphrey fleet, which was originally the biggest worry, turned from a wave of flood peaks that could destroy after converging with Mikami Yuren to a pool of stagnant water. Such a result can only be described as a miracle.

You must know that modern warfare is about the economy, military strength, and logistical and transportation support. No country can put all its armies into combat or combat readiness. What is needed to mobilize and assemble a force is manpower and huge material resources that far exceed the number of such troops. And all of this takes time!

If the Longbow system is lost, it will only take two or three days for the Humphrey fleet in combat state and the Desik Fifth Fleet, which can be put into battle at any time, to go north to Resker to fight! And in such a short period of time, the reserve forces of the Filipino Alliance simply could not complete the complicated pre-war preparations, let alone enter the Resque and enter the battle!

"Admiral Rabinsky, don't forget, we are allies." Bernadotte waved his hand. His face was calm and modest, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

After knowing the whereabouts of the fat man, he imagined 10,000 possible scenarios, but he did not expect that the fat man would capture Humphrey alive with a ragtag fleet. So much so that the moment he heard the news, his mind was blank!

Although Bernadotte understands that that short-sighted guy probably hasn't thought about the Resque system and the overall situation at all, everything he does is just because he has to meet the needs of the Tibetan Front fleet. However, this favor and this merit, the fat man really earned it for the Lelei Federation!

Bernadotte did not have a good time in the command area.

Leray has been torn apart. Even Hamilton's death has made the people of the Filipino League known to the unyielding Lelei Federation. Even if Flavio won a certain voice and material assistance for Leray in the Coalition Council. But. Already in a few years of war exhausted the entire Levy Ray Federation. Ignorance, consciously or unconsciously, remained inevitable among the Allies.

This is normal. Politically. Le Ray may also be a member of the Filipino Union. Because of the four-year Great Patriotic War was respected. Can be militarily. Lost all and seventy percent of the troops. There is really nothing that makes these generals and their local armies pay attention to the local area with the right to speak on the military power of the land.

in the Atlantis system. Loyal to the government-in-exile of Lere, several federal states were left with local troops. I can't even protect myself. It is also necessary to look at the face of the southeast coalition led by Fisichella. And in the Chaknardi coalition base. Le Lei had only a few detachments and a few armored regiments. All assembled in the local armies under the banner of the Joint Command. The Lelei army was almost negligible.

Therefore. At a time when the process of the war has evolved to a point where the importance of the southeast theater is becoming more and more prominent. The Lelei Federation is already in the eyes of others. reduced to an insignificant spectator.

Although the situation in the southeast is evolving. While Bernadotte was in command. But. He has no authority. But it's just a foil on the conference table. In front of the electronic deduction stage, there is a staff officer with the rank of general!

No one asked for his opinion, and even some of the information that he had access to at his level was ignored by the staff department, intentionally or unintentionally. In addition to the routine joint meetings, many important strategic meetings were not notified to him.

Politics needs to speak with strength, and war, even more so. Bernardo knows this better than anyone else.

In the face of this almost humiliating helplessness in his heart, Bernadotte, who is the highest military commander of Lelei and is now the general of Lelei's military department, can only be silent.

He has to stay here, and he has to endure it all. Because Hamilton, Mihajlovich, Flavio and all the people who have worked so hard for this country are watching him. It was they who together chose this path for Leret. If the Federation of Leray wants to get back on its feet, it must stick to its philosophy of survival. You must follow the rules of the game and keep yourself from being abandoned!

Even if every minute of being in the command was an ordeal, he had to persevere. Leray has been boiling for four years, another four years, forty years, and Bernadotte doesn't care.

People are warm and cold, and at his age, he can already see it very clearly.

Originally, after learning that the fat man had set off for the Longbow Galaxy, his greatest hope was that the fat man could successfully meet with Russell, manage the last bit of vitality of Leray in Mars, and wait for the opportunity. Unexpectedly, until now, it was the generals who controlled the entire course of the battle that looked at their insignificant supporting role, shocked and jealous.

No one thought that when the battle situation suddenly became dangerous, it was the Lelei people who won them time to save everything!

Bernadotte really wanted to laugh.

From now on, all those who had already regarded Le Ray as an inconsequential role before the war will understand the ironclad fact that Le Ray has been fighting this war for four years and will continue to fight. Leray was not a supporting character from the beginning, not now, and not in the future.

No one can despise this country that is fighting in the midst of war! The Lelei people used a destroyer to take down the entire Mars Freeport, and also used a fleet that was not even a B-class fleet, and controlled the entire southeast war!

Bernadotte, who was polite and red-faced, couldn't help but feel a hint of pride at the corners of his mouth.

Dead fat, well done!

Another person stepped forward to congratulate Bernadotte. Although many people are reluctant to admit it, the facts are clearly laid out in front of their eyes.

As a close alliance of countries, the Filipino Alliance has laws and institutions that have been developed over hundreds of years, and they are very strict.

It is the basis for the unity of the member States of the Filipino League. Neither the powerful Republic of Fichakna, nor the annual presidency, nor even the United Parliament of the Filipino League, the highest authority in the Union territory, can arbitrarily undermine these laws and institutions.

It is these legal systems that have continuously integrated the members of the Filipino Union economically, politically and militarily for centuries. At present, although politically, the Filipino League is still self-governing among countries. However, economically, culturally and educationally, they have long been integrated with each other. In particular, in the military, it has a complete set of joint systems.

In the military system of the Fiji League, the teams are divided into six grades according to a strict evaluation standard. Different ranks, in addition to representing different combat effectiveness assessments, also represent different rights and statuses.

From the lowest fifth-level unit to the highest, the military department's attention to the treatment of soldiers, the status of officers, the weapons and equipment of the army, and the degree of attention paid by the military department are all multiplied with each level of promotion. In wartime, high-ranking units enjoy preferential privileges in ground supply, transportation, rescue, air support, long-range strike support, and information support.

Not to mention the special troops and first-class troops, they can be assessed as second-level troops by the headquarters of the Filipino Alliance, which are the treasures of all departments. Many small and medium-sized countries, in the Filipino-allied coalition forces, even have only three levels of combat units.

This kind of level, at the beginning of the war, was not very conspicuous. However, with the progress of the war, with the closer cooperation between the coalition forces of the Filipino Alliance, and as the Parliament of the Filipino Alliance has become more and more powerful in terms of control over various countries in terms of economy and resources, it has become the most urgent desire of all generals to let the troops under their command pass the assessment or accumulate military merits to move up to the next level or two.

In addition to the privileges and status of the army itself, a high-ranking army also represents the right to speak in the United Parliament and in the command of the coalition forces!

And according to the regulations of the military system of the Filipino Alliance, it is not an exaggeration to give them a second-level or even first-class army establishment based on the achievements of the bandit army in the Longbow Galaxy. After all, they fought in the Longbow galaxy and indirectly saved the tide of the battle in the entire southeast galaxy. The times create heroes, and this wave happened to be caught up by them!

In addition to a few ace troops of the big countries, how many can be counted among the entire Fijian Alliance forces that can be rated as first-class troops? No matter in that theater of operations, the first-level troops are the core of the core, the main force of the main force!

If Lelei really has a first-class force, then in the future, Lelei's status in the alliance will naturally rise!

Several generals from ordinary small countries looked at Bernadotte with a trace of envy and even jealousy. They couldn't understand why Humphrey, who was so imbecile, actually let the bandit army blow up the flagship and come to shoot a horse to capture the king.

"Tian Xingjian, Tian Xingjian, etc," a general who had been contemplating beside him suddenly shouted: "It's the Tian Xingjian who laid down the Mars Free Port?!" ”

Obviously, this general from the Northwest Theater of Operations doesn't know much about the hero of Le Lei.

As soon as they heard the general's call, many generals showed a look of sudden realization. It was celebrated for a long time, and only now did they associate the name with the character. It's just a name and a vague impression in their minds. The country of Leray is too small for the huge Filipino League.

The crowd exchanged words for a while.

"Gentlemen"

McKinley's voice quieted the noisy war room hall: "I think the most important thing now is that we should come up with an unfair contract and let the captured Mr. Humphrey sign it." ”

McKinley's teasing drew a burst of laughter.

The generals looked at each other, and the heavy depression since the Canglang Star fell into the hands of Mikami Yuren was thrown out of the clouds at this moment. In particular, Admiral Chacner Rabinski and Lieutenant General Machira, who stood next to Bernadotte on the left and right, were even more happy and smiling. After all, Chuckner was a direct beneficiary of this victory!

"General Douglas." After some whispered deliberation, McKinley turned his head to look at the virtual screen and said with a smile: "This is really good news, but after all, the command is not on the front line and cannot give specific guidance." You know, what you have done has been completely beyond our imagination. The unequal treaties given to Mr. Humphrey are left to you to draw up on your own. All we can do now is to wait for your good news, get your medals ready, and wait for you to come back! ”

McKinley paused, exchanged a look with the generals, restrained his smile, and then said to Douglas: "If there is one only request, it is that I hope you will hold the Longbow Galaxy for at least seventy-two hours no matter what!" I'm sure you've already read the battle report of the Canglang Star Land, and we need time to complete the reinforcement of Resque. During this period, we don't want any Western fleet to appear at the jump point leading to Reske in the Southeastern Main Passage, which is crucial for the entire Southeast War! ”

McKinley said something, and the generals nodded their heads.

Although the headquarters of the coalition forces is responsible for the operational deployment of the entire Filipino-Allied forces, it is absolutely impossible to provide long-distance guidance in specific operations. The kind of people who don't know the situation on the front line and point fingers at will either don't understand military affairs, or their brains have been smoked by farts.

On the battlefield, it is taboo to take all decisions for granted.

Even the god of war, Hastings, usually only grasps the general strategic direction and reviews the battle plans of important battle sites before the battle, and once the battle begins, all the power is in the hands of the front-line commander. Unless there is extremely precise intelligence support or an extremely significant strategic mistake, there will be no intervention in the front line from the rear.

Of course, the generals present would not make such a mistake. The battle of the Longbow Galaxy was originally out of their control. The results at this moment are already unexpected. Rather than pointing fingers at the situation without knowing the situation, it is better to release the restrictions and let Douglas and them wield freely after issuing a strategic request.

"Yes, Admiral McKinley!" Douglas stood up and saluted. Humphrey was in the hands of the fat man, and even if he got too much benefit and dragged this fleet for a few days, he would still be able to complete the land.

Neither Douglas, nor the generals in command, thought of capitulating the entire Humphrey fleet. After all, in modern warfare, no one thinks that the capture of an opposing commander is a victory. Less Humphrey,

Officers from other places. On the battlefield, the Binartes still occupy a certain moment more realistically, taking advantage of the special relationship between Humphrey and the two Royal Elephant fleets to try to gain some benefits.

"Vice Admiral Douglas," At this time, a cold voice sounded on the side of the electronic deduction stage: "Humphrey is now on Rear Admiral Tian Xingjian's ship?" This General Tian Xingjian, can he be contacted now? ”

Everyone turned around one after another, and when they spoke, it was naturally Li Fo.

Compared with the group of generals with excitement on their faces, Li Fo still had a cold and iron-like look, and he looked a little colder than just now.

The generals who were immersed in joy did not appear, and under the stage, Li Fo's fists were already clenched.

This army that suddenly appeared made him hate it to the core!

If it weren't for them, Fiji would have faced a serious defeat. And the only one who can save the Filipino Alliance is him - Alcover!

He has been watching this war for too long. He couldn't wait until everything got out of control, he couldn't wait until that person calmly turned everything into that person's own will. He must go to war, and only war can allow him and his army to be watered and nourished by blood, grow stronger, and sweep the world.

He didn't want to miss this opportunity. Even if he misses it, he'll create another one!

This is the best time for the Livr Army to intervene in the war!

"Yes, sir. You can get in touch, sir. Douglas said in a deep voice: "The bandit fleet and my nineteenth fleet have completed the grouping, I can do it now."

"No," Lever interrupted Douglas with a wave of his hand. He frowned slightly and said, "If I remember correctly, Major General Tian belongs to my Mars Front, why did he appear in the Longbow Galaxy?" ”

"This" Douglas didn't know the fat man's current situation, and was a little hesitant for a while. The others standing next to Li Fo had stiff faces and looked at Bernadotte.

Li Fo's words reminded many people present who knew the inside story.

Tian Xingjian's attribution to the leadership of the Mars Front Army caused a discussion at that time.

Regarding the behavior of Fiji League picking peaches, many people actually have some disdain in private. However, after all, the Filipino Alliance was based on the Republic of Fiyan, and Leray at that time did not have the ability to defend the fruits of victory. However, he has a deep memory of Tian Xingjian's transfer to the Mars Front.

And now, when the Mars Front has been defeated and retreated under the attack of the Seuss fleet, the bandit army that was supposed to be led by the Mars Front in the Mars theater has appeared in the distant Longbow Galaxy, which is obviously a bit unreasonable.

Even though the bandit army was not officially included in the establishment of the Filipino Alliance, their commander Tian Xingjian was the commander of the First Army of the Mars Front!

Douglas and Tian Xingjian did not unite before the war, and the command did not give an order for reinforcements from the bandits. So, what did he lead his bandit army, which had an unknown number, an unknown combat effectiveness, and an unknown number of members, to the Longbow Galaxy?

If the bandit fleet was sent to the Longbow system by Carolina, I'm afraid even a fool wouldn't believe it. The Longbow Galaxy has nothing to do with the Mars Front, and Carolina doesn't have the skills of an unpredictable prophet or a self-sacrificing spirit.

For a moment, there was silence in the war room.

On the one hand, the merits of the bandit army are real on the surface. On the other hand, acting without authorization and disobeying orders are also taboos in the military. Besides, this Major General Le Lei also had a criminal record before!

"Sir" In silence, Douglas spoke, "Colonel Margaret, now in the bandit fleet. ”

"Margaret?!" McKinley was startled.

Although Douglas's sentence seems to outsiders to be a little incomprehensible, McKinley knows the meaning of it. Since Seuss attacked Mars, he has not contacted the Mars front, and he is very worried about Margaret's safety, but unexpectedly, Margaret is not with Carolina, but follows the bandit army to the Longbow Galaxy.

Things are starting to get complicated. Margaret is in the bandit fleet, is it her personal meaning or, Hastings's meaning? If it is Hastings' meaning, then, among the people present, I am afraid, there is no qualitative right. What is the relationship between Margaret and Hastings, others don't know, don't you know?

Huo Ran turned around, and McKinley saw Li Fo's face, so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping.

Ordinary people and soldiers think that Li Fer is the first successor of Hastings, but at the top of the Filipino League, who does not regard Margaret as the real first successor?

With Margaret's talent, with the training she had received from Hastings for twenty years, with her status, and with the intertwined entanglements of interests at the top of the Filipino League, it was impossible for Lever to control everything. Li Fo is a steel knife. Maybe invincible. However, the sharper he is, the more he needs to be controlled!

"Nonsense!"

Li Fo snorted. His eyes flickered, and he didn't know how many thoughts had turned in his heart.

He has been paying attention to this war, and he has worked harder than anyone else. The information about Tian Xingjian, as well as the current situation, instantly turned around in his mind a few times, and he snorted in his mouth: "How could she be there." ”

Then, Li Fo lingered two steps, Huo Ran stood still, looked at McKinley and said: "Admiral McKinley, I suggest that the command order General Tian Xingjian to hand over Humphrey to Douglas immediately, and set off immediately to escort Colonel Margaret back to Al-Aqsa." Colonel Margaret is a special person who is not suitable to stay in the Longbow system. ”

"In addition, Marshal Chakna Li Cunxin is trapped in Canglang Star, and since the command cannot send troops immediately, I think it is better to let General Tian take the opportunity of the return trip to the rescue. You must know that in addition to Marshal Li, there is also the alliance mecha research and test team that is trapped at the same time. Six of the panelists were Le Ray scientists. Among them," Li Fo looked back at Bernadotte and said expressionlessly: "It also includes Mr. Boswell, the scientist of the Leray expert group." ”…… There is another chapter later
