Chapter 122: The Mentor (18)
In the universe, the Al-Aqsa Space Fortress is moving at a speed that people can't notice.
It is a ring-shaped artificial celestial body. The huge annular space capsule has an olive-shaped power cabin in the center as the central axis, and rotates 360 degrees. A dense network of connecting passages connects these two opposing and inseparable cabins. From a distance, the entire fortress resembles a spinning top next to the blue ball of the planet Al-Akssa, or rather, it resembles the wheel of a dismantled heavy motorcycle.
Heavy black armor covered the cold silver metal shell of the circular space chamber, forming protruding square lattices. Between the lattices, a glimmer of silver slit and a patch of brightly lit portholes are revealed. The curved space train track runs along the outer wall of the circular space module. Magnetic trains, like a long line of white lights, emerge from the circular transparent station protruding from the fortress, silently staggering on the side-by-side tracks.
The trajectory of Al-Aqsa Fortress is not centered on the planet Al-Aqsa. Rather, it is centered on the stars around which Al-Aqsa orbits. Therefore, the annular space cabin always has one side facing the star. As the fortress rotated, the golden light, filtered by the curved canopy, formed a slowly moving band of light outside the fortress, and the inside of the fortress also showed the alternation of day and night.
Although Al-Aqsa Fortress was so small compared to the naturally formed stars in the universe, its curved skylights, the ships with their flashing guiding lights, the rows of long space train tracks, the huge fortress cannons, and the warships that cruised and patrolled beside it like schools of fish, all gave her a unique charm.
This is a masterpiece of humanity. Countless constructions, decades of time and hundreds of millions of materials, have built this miracle.
A [Unicorn]-class battleship slowly slid into the fortress passage.
When the light of the stars was blocked by the solid iron wall of the passage, and when the flashing indicator lights on both sides appeared in front of him, Li Fo, who was standing quietly by the porthole like a straight marker, coldly put on his hat, turned around and walked off the podium. Dozens of high-ranking officers, naturally according to their ranks, formed two neat rows and strode behind him. Everyone's steps are as if they have been measured accurately.
White electronic lights illuminate the spacious passageway. In the passage, one after another heavy sealed explosion-proof doors were opened. There was silence all around. There was no sound but the footsteps of the officers who were marching forward solemnly.
Thirty officers, thirty pairs of shiny boots, but they only followed the same rhythm of footsteps, following one voice—Alckford's footsteps!
Forty-nine years old this year, Li Buddha. He is 181 cm tall. Slender body. It has a short, dense light brown head and a pair of light green eyes. His skin was very white. Like many white-skinned people. His eyebrows and eyelashes are also very light in color. It makes him look. There is a pathology that borders on albinism.
But other than that. Either way. Li Fodu can be called a beautiful man. Straight nose bridge. Slightly sunken eyes. Sharply defined lips. Fangzheng chin in the Feiyang military headquarters. There is a legend. No matter how many women are standing in front of Li Buddha. All he needed was a smile. to conquer them all. Of course. There had to be a premise for that - if he wanted to. Or that he would laugh.
No one had ever seen Li Fo smile.
Whether it's his superiors. His subordinates are still his friends. I've never seen him laugh. Cold. It's the only thing everyone feels about him. In everyone's eyes. Li Buddha is a 10,000-year-old iceberg. From head to toe. There was a chill in it. Few people dared to joke in front of him. Just his pale green eyes. I look at you deeply. You will be able to immerse yourself in happiness. It's cold to the bone.
It's hard to imagine. Such a characterful person. Able to work in other occupations. Li Fo was born a soldier. A soldier who is so calm that he is almost cold.
And he's talented. This is also evidenced. He thinks clearly. Preciseness. Has an extremely high military IQ.
From the First Army Academy of Feiyang to the Space and Naval Academy of Feiyang Heidefield, Li Fu, who was listed as the first training object, never disappointed his instructors. After six years of advanced training and two years of officer training, he took the top spot with a score of nearly one-fifth that was far higher than the second place.
Not only can he fight, but he is also very good at leading troops. He has a natural power of dominance. From the moment he walked out of the military academy twenty-five years ago, the army under his command has grown up with him under his leadership. Along the way, even though Li Fo left, he left his mark on every army he led.
If, one day, you see several soldiers on the street who are all walking at the same pace, with straight bodies and sharp eyes; If you are in a military bar, and you see a few officers sitting alone on the sidelines who are out of place with other people, with a cold air that no one can approach, with some indifference and pride, don't be pregnant, it is Li Fo's soldiers.
If you are on the battlefield and see a group of mechs rushing forward silently under artillery fire, without the slightest hesitation or cowardice; If you are in the starry sky and see a fleet that is impeccably well formed, resolute and thorough in its tactical movements, and extremely accurate from the angle of the ship to the timing of the artillery fire, then, do not doubt it, it is Liver's army.
On the list of famous players, Li Fo ranks fifth. He is one of the five tiger generals of Feiyang, and he is also the first successor who can succeed the military god Hastings in everyone's minds.
However, since the beginning of this war, Li Fo has been staying in the military department. Hastings didn't use him, and he read the war report every day in his own office, looked at the interstellar map, and made deductions with the staff officers to discuss the war situation, and he was at ease. And the troops under his command, like him, conduct routine training exercises every day, get up on time and go to bed on time. Turning a deaf ear to the barrage of artillery fire.
As everyone knows, it's not yet time to use Li Fo. This cold-faced general is the republic
, his army is the Dinghai Shenshen Needle of the Republic.
But now
A senior soldier of Feiyang stepped on the brakes and parked the cargo truck with a load of supplies outside the yellow line designated by the small flag in the hands of the military police. He watched blankly as several senior officers of Fei Yang greeted Li Fo who was approaching, and then watched these officers hug Li Fo and walk in the direction of the general headquarters.
This is the ninth general of the land who runs to and from the port every day.
Before Li Fo, there were already six lieutenant generals and eight generals from different countries who had come to Al-Aqsa Fortress with the same serious expressions. Now, even Li Fo is here, what happened?
The long corridor stretched in the lights, the automatic doors opened one after another, and the guards along the way stood even more upright with their already tall bodies. When Li Fodi's figure appeared at the door of the headquarters hall, the noisy and noisy headquarters suddenly fell silent. Only the sound of neat footsteps was heard, and in the echo of the emptiness of the hexagonal hall that could accommodate thousands of people, he walked up to the platform on the third floor of the hall.
It wasn't until Li Fo led the two major generals into the general headquarters that the frozen air seemed to flow slowly.
However, compared with the previous noise, the officers and staff officers of the Operations Department, the Intelligence Department, the Political Department, the Logistics Department, and other liaison rooms and functional rooms were much quieter. Even though Li Fo left his sight, the remaining twenty-eight officers who stayed outside the automatic door and stood silently and solemnly still made people feel a kind of cold and sharp blade, a kind of depression that was pressed by dark clouds.
"How?!" Li Fo strode into the war room, and his eagle-like gaze stared directly at McKinley, the deputy chief of staff of the Feiyang Interstellar Navy, who was walking towards him.
McKinley, with a solemn face, did not speak, only shook his head slowly.
Li Fu frowned and looked around.
In the war room with an area of 400 square meters, senior generals of the Filipino Alliance countries dressed in different uniforms gathered together.
These Filipino League generals, who are carrying the rank of general or lieutenant general, have completely lost their usual calm bearing. Some of them were arguing around the sand table, some were sitting on the sand in contemplation, and some were restlessly pacing back and forth on the thick blue cashmere carpet, glancing at the time from time to time.
All the causes are because of the unexpected loss of Canglang Star.
Canglang Star is the main star of the Resque system, located at the end of the second spiral arm of the Resque Galaxy, and its geographical location is extremely important. Not only is it very close to the jump point leading to the main passage to the southeast, but it is also not far from the jump point to the Seuss Empire and Lei Fengxing, which is currently in the middle of a great war, and has always been a strategic place in the Resque system.
Originally, Canglang Star had completely fallen under the control of the Republic of Chakna. However, no one expected that when the combined forces of Chakner and Feiyan launched a general attack on the ground forces of Lei Feng Star and Seuss, intending to completely drive Xiyo out of the Reske system, the two super fleets of Jependi, Thunder and Storm, actually used Dosuss to merge eight Souss A-class fleets and raid Canglang Star.
Sixteen armored divisions, twenty fully mechanized infantry divisions, divided into six groups, fell from the sky. Because most of the troops were transferred to Leifeng Star, which had entered a critical moment in the battle, and Canglang Star, which had a weak defense, was declared lost overnight. The two Chakner mixed fleets were annihilated, and the six armored divisions and ten infantry divisions stationed on the ground did not even react at all, and they collapsed under the coordinated air and land operations of the Western Coalition forces.
This is not because Chakna's army is weak, but because this sneak attack under the command of Yuto Mikami is hitting Chakna's seven inches.
Because of the tense war on Leifeng Star, the weak defense of Canglang Star is a reason, and the front-line command has relaxed its vigilance because the Suss army has been suppressed. The more important reason is that the time of the attack was 3 o'clock in the morning on Saturday, and the several Chackner Army divisions stationed in the army were only withdrawn from the front line of Leifeng Star at 6 o'clock on Friday afternoon to withdraw the troops from the Canglang Star Advance Base for rest.
The soldiers, who had just withdrawn to the forward base, were not only tired, but also did not even have a normal formation. They came from different units, and they were all temporarily gathered together after being disrupted on the battlefield and sent back to the forward base for rest. Units are based on squads, companies, and platoons. There are almost no battalions and regiments. Some soldiers simply have one person and one squad. Their comrades-in-arms all fell on Lei Fengxing and failed to come down.
At the moment of the attack, dozens of military bases were blown up in flames by Western warplanes. The soldiers, who did not know each other in the first place, suddenly became a mess, and there was no way to effectively assemble and resist.
Obviously, Yuto Mikami got accurate information, and his punch was ruthless and accurate!
In just one night, Canglang Star completely fell into his hands. So far, the Western Army on the Canglang Star has increased to 26 armored divisions and 30 fully mechanized infantry divisions.
All the airports fell into the hands of the Western coalition forces.
To the frustration of all the Fei Yang generals in the field, Yuto Mikami was actually mobilizing his three super fleets right under their noses, but no one saw through his true intentions.
When the three super fleets of Yingsun, Thunder and Storm left Jeppen Military Port and disappeared into the vast universe, the intelligence department and the general staff still took it for granted that these fleets would pass through the Bermuda galaxy and regain the control area of the Longbow galaxy. If Mikami Yuto has other plans, the most he can do is to attack the Newton system and suppress the Fiji Alliance's southeastern coalition forces to the Garileo system and even Gacharin.
Unexpectedly, of the three super fleets, only Yingri went to the Bermuda galaxy. The other two entered the Ress system via Seuss. And then launched a sneak attack.
Mikami Yuren's voice was certainly unexpected by everyone. Suss would agree to borrow the way, which was even more surprising.
You must know that although the two countries of Souss and Anatomy are allies, these two old military empires have always been wary of each other. The royal families of the two countries are also quite ambitious. To risk being known by the other side about the military deployment, draw an interstellar road map, wanton
The danger of conducting electronic reconnaissance and letting the opposing military fleet pass by itself was almost impossible for the Su Emperor.
But the Seuss agreed!
Now that I think about it, Mikami Yuren's hand is not without clues. First of all, the situation in Reske was extremely unfavorable for Seuss. When they were unable to send a new round of reinforcements at home, it became inevitable to borrow the strength of the Allies. Rather than lose Resque, bury Seuss's main force in Seusque, and let the flames of war burn into Seuss's borders, it is better to let your allies pass by.
At least, no matter how ambitious the Jeppen Empire is, it will not want the Suss Empire to do it at this time.
Secondly, from the perspective of the overall strategy of the Western Covenant, the Longbow system has already been attacked by Humphrey's two Elephant-class royal fleets, behind Humphrey, there is also the Desik Fifth fleet, and the Su-Jay coalition forces stationed in Bermuda and the central system of Leray. Even if Yuto Mikami takes revenge, it will be enough to send a fleet at most. After all, as soon as the fleet moves, it is a huge amount of material and money consumption, and Yuto Mikami is angry at the loss of the Longbow Galaxy, which is also not in line with his style.
Moreover, the three superfleets under his command are the trump cards of Jeppen, and now, it seems that it is not yet time to use these three superfleets.
Of course, these are post-mortems. At that time, the battle of Resque had entered a critical period, with the defeat of Chakner's fleet in the Battle of Mars Passage, and the Longbow system facing an attack by Humphrey's fleet. These have already attracted the attention of all the generals of the Filipino League. No one thought that Mikami Yuto would be able to take advantage of the situation in such a smooth way and win with a single move.
Jeppen's first general, worthy of his real name. Perhaps, all these plans have been formed in the minds of Yuto Mikami as early as the moment the Longbow Galaxy was attacked. Humphrey, who coincided with the meeting, was just a magic prop he used to attract attention with him in front!
And now, everyone's biggest concern is the Nineteenth Fleet of the Longbow Galaxy!
Everyone understands that now Tyresk has become a more terrifying meat grinder than Stalingrad during World War II on the ancient earth. Both sides are in a tug-of-war, and whoever can't hold on will lose the entire Southeast Star Domain, and will also lose the current balance of war. The defeat is like a mountain, which no one wants to see. If the Longbow system can be held for a while, the High Command can also mobilize reserves and engage in the Battle of Resque. If Douglas's fleet is completely annihilated, then, in the face of the two-way attack of Western Covenant, the battle of Reske will be even more difficult.
"General Leeford. I didn't expect you to be invited too" Seeing Li Fo, Leon Reese, Admiral of the Republic of Lyon, walked up and shook his hand, and sighed: "It seems that the Alliance Council and the Supreme Command are really in a hurry. ”
As a high-ranking military general in the Republic of Lane, the closest ally to Fiyan, Yuris has cooperated with Li Fo on many occasions in joint military exercises and regional operations between the two countries, so the two are very familiar with each other, and they rarely speak politely.
"What's the use of being in a hurry?" Li Fo stared at the electronic sand table, snorted coldly with an expressionless face, and turned his head to look at several combat staff officers on the side: "How is the situation in Lei Fengxingdi?" Is Douglas in touch? ”
Before the staff officer could answer, Yuris had already waved his hand at the staff officer and explained in person: "The Leifeng Star battle situation has not been affected for the time being. Six armored divisions and nine fully mechanized infantry divisions of Souss have been suppressed by our coalition forces east of the Nobis Plain. However, with the fall of Canglang Star's forward base, the supply and air support of the front line will be affected over time.
At the moment, the Western Fleet is attacking all Fijian ships in the Resque Passage. Their main force is also looking for an opportunity to attack Lei Feng Star, and judging from the comparison of the combat strength of the two sides, it is estimated that within a week, they will be able to land on Lei Feng Star. ”
"As for your army's Nineteenth Fleet," Yuris shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile: "A few minutes ago, the War Department reported that the encrypted battle report they sent had been confirmed to have been received by the cipher of the Nineteenth Fleet. However, no direct communication channels have been established. The exact outcome of the battle is still unclear. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the sweaty communication staff officers in front of the central computer, as well as the generals who were spinning around like trapped beasts behind the staff officers, and sighed: "No matter how you look at it, the situation is not optimistic, once the Douglas fleet misses and the southeast main channel opens the gate, I'm afraid, you will have to go out in person, brother." ”
Li Fo was noncommittal, still expressionless.
Yuris sighed and looked at the military watch on his wrist, he didn't notice that the faces of the two major generals standing behind Li Fo had changed slightly by the time he said his last words. Under the upright military posture like iron beating steel, there were two pairs of clenched fists that trembled slightly. In those cold eyes, a trace of fanaticism flashed!
"I'm afraid, your brother will have to go out himself!" They have been waiting for this sentence for too long!
The two major generals stood quietly in this somewhat noisy room. The blazing adoring gaze only fell on the arrogant figure in front of the electronic deduction stage. It seems that there is only such a person in the whole world. The generals around him did not judge the intentions of Mikami Yuren, but it does not mean that Li Fo did not judge either! In fact, as early as the moment Yuto Mikami mobilized Jeppen's three super fleets, his intention to attack the Resker system had already been seen through by Li Fo!
It's just that Li Fo didn't say it, and his core staff headquarters also remained silent! They are not treason, they just don't want to let this war continue to drag on so tepidly!
This era is destined to be the era of soldiers. Politicians in peacetime, social order and rules in peacetime should all be eliminated. All matters concerning the war zone should be done by the military. Those politicians and ordinary people will only be counterproductive.
Build one by the military
The world, the establishment of a new order guided by military personnel, is the dream of all military personnel. The Republic of Fiyan has weakened too quickly, just like the military god in a wheelchair, who has been going downhill since his most glorious moments. If we want this huge and weakened country to rejuvenate, we must break everything and establish a new order!
And the only place that can accomplish all this is Li Fo!
However, Li Buddha was frozen. His troops, in the name of Feiyang's most ace troops, were also refrigerated by those politicians.
I have to admit that those who hold the fate of the republic in their hands have an unusually sensitive sense of smell. Although they didn't know what Lever and his team were planning. However, they still preferred to let the tiger sleep rather than let it out. Otherwise, why could McKinley, who ranked ninth on the list of famous generals and ranked second among the five tiger generals, become the chief of staff of the High Command, while Li Fo has not been entrusted with any position so far?!
And now, it's the tiger's chance to get out of the cage!
Chacner's sacrifice had nothing to do with Feiyan. Douglas's sacrifice, and now at Resker's Champerin Division, was a sacrifice made by Lever as he came out of his cage and offered to the Goddess of Victory.
All the soldiers who follow Li Fu will not conceive, under the leadership of Li Fo, the victory they win will be ten times and a hundred times the price paid at this moment!
They are already ready to follow Li Fo and sweep the world!
"Nineteenth Group Fleet Communication Signal!"
The cry of surprise from a communications staff officer broke the dullness of the war room.
I could only hear the sound of chairs moving and footsteps messily, and the senior officers, who were calm and steady in front of their subordinates on weekdays, were already like children who had seen a cake, and they surrounded the central computer console with a hula.
A moment later, as the wandering light cluster of the virtual light curtain gradually took shape, Douglas's figure appeared in the light curtain.
"Admiral McKinley, Admiral Liverwell, generals." Douglas stands in front of the picture and salutes.
"How's the battle going?!" McKinley anxiously went straight to the point.
"The situation is complicated at the moment," Douglas transmitted a battle report to the command and gave a brief account of the campaign that had just ended. Finally, he said: "At present, Humphrey's fleet has stayed where it is. Form a confrontation posture with our fleet. Here, I request the command for guidance on the next stage of operations. ”
Douglas's voice dissipated in the silence of the war room.
The generals stared straight and were silent.
After a long time, McKinley turned his head, and Euris and the others also turned their heads. Even Li Fo, who had been moving in front of the stage, raised his eyelids. Everyone's eyes were focused on one person's face.
One, the least valued person in this command.
Federal Admiral of Leray, Bernadotte.
If it weren't for Douglas being right in front of me at this moment, no one would have believed that all this was true.
A patchwork army actually captured the commander of the other party in the duel between the main fleets of the two superpowers, and turned the already inevitable battle situation into the current situation.
Judging from the performance of the Humphrey fleet, even if the Humphrey fleet could not be completely annihilated, the Filyang 19th fleet was at least not much in danger. Moreover, if the operation is done well, it is impossible to coerce Humphrey and order Humphrey's fleet to withdraw from the Longbow Star Field, and fight for three to five days!
All of this was done by the fat man named Tian Xingjian with a gang of Mars miscellaneous troops
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, Admiral Chakner Rabinsky jumped up and down and laughed like crazy. His laughter, like the gongs and drums of the celebration, suddenly broke the silence of the war room.
The generals of the Filipino Alliance in ecstasy seemed to have come to life from petrification, waving their fists and high-fives in celebration.
No one can describe their joy and excitement. Five days, no, only four days, or even three days, for the Filipino Alliance to complete the assembly of reserve forces and put them into the battle of the Resque. At that time, even if all the fleets of the Western Covenant poured into Reske, the Filipino Alliance would not be afraid. As long as Xiyue can't form an offensive against the top of Mount Tai, as long as he can form a stalemate in Resque, this battle will still have to be fought!
War, not afraid of attrition, afraid of temporary loss of power.
If we compare Westo to a flood, then Reske is the dam that holds back the flood. Prior to this, the Fijian League's underestimation of the deployment of Western Covenant troops and the tactics of Mikami Yuren caused Western Covenant to form a victory in Changhong after the sneak attack on Canglang Star. If it can't withstand it at this time, then the Filipino coalition army, which is defeated like a mountain, will be like a dam that has burst its embankment and cannot be cleaned up. The monstrous wave will sweep everything with an unstoppable force.
When the time comes, not to mention the loss of the entire Southeast Star Domain, Reske will also be declared lost. There was no other way but to retreat. However, this retreat is likely to turn into a rout. No one knows where this retreat will be! If Sauber launches a strong offensive against the Karlston Galaxy at this time, then even if the Filipino Alliance can withstand it in the end, it will pay an extremely heavy price.
And now, the Humphrey fleet, which originally occupied a considerable part of the flood and was no less threatening than the three superfleets of Jeppen, was unexpectedly beaten into a stalemate by Douglas and Tian Xingjian. The Longbow Galaxy is also still in the hands of Fimeng. This means, then, that Westo's fleeting opportunity is likely to be lost in the end because of Humphrey's defeat at Longbow.
As long as you can withstand the flood peak, there is still room for redemption!
This is almost miraculous news, how can the generals of the Filipino Alliance present not be ecstatic?!
