The Third Chinese Empire, the imperial capital.

In the golden hall, there was an extremely gloomy atmosphere.

Emperor Xia Zeping was sitting there with his eyebrows locked, and opposite him, Meng Gu, the head of the Imperial Military Department, reported something with a cold face-

"On November 8, the Far North Fortress lost contact, and all the magic field communications were murmuring. The Liaison Group of the Military Headquarters in the 51st District submitted a report from the 51st District, claiming that it was very likely that the chaos in the Far North had intensified and expanded, resulting in the interference of the first-line magic field of the Far North Fortress. The military headquarters ordered the Daling River defense line, whose communications were still normal, to send reconnaissance troops to check and confirm. ”

"On November 10, the Daling River defense line reported that the Far North Fortress and the Great Wall defense line were unharmed, but the communication of the magic field was very similar to that of natural or man-made interference. In view of the speculation that the barbarians of Academician Qian of District 51 were about to appear when the magic field was about to be strengthened to the peak, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, the military headquarters ordered the Far North Fortress to use the beacon tower again to keep in touch with the Daling River defense line by primitive means. ”

……

"On November 12, the Daling River defense line received an alarm from the beacon towers on the east and west sides of the Far North Fortress and the Great Wall defense line, warning that the barbarians were invading. On the same day, we also received an urgent battle report from the Western Continent Alliance: Barbarian invasion. ”

"The barbarians attacked both the Wuqi Mountains and the Far North Harbor at the same time, and used the first naval and air forces. The front line of Wuqi Mountain was attacked from behind by what seemed to be crossed by the barbarians by some strange means. Most permanent artillery groups have no way to stop the attack of air forces, and they have nothing to do against the army attack from behind, so they can only rely on mobile forces and flesh and blood to defend. ”

"At the same time, the Far North Harbor was also unable to reinforce them, and they were attacked by the barbarian navy. Except for the Dingbei air carrier battle group, which was cruising and exercising, the other two air carrier formations were all blocked in the port area, and even suffered heavy losses under the air raid from the beginning, and the battle situation was extremely critical. ”

"The meeting of the General Staff Headquarters of the three armed services of the empire analyzed and claimed. The loss of contact with the Far North Fortress a few days ago is most likely not due to an accident caused by the Far North Magic Field - but because the barbarians seem to have the means to cut off communication on the battlefield. Otherwise, we can't explain that the front line of the Daling River has not received any other news except for the beacon warning. ”

……

"On the evening of November 14, the first-line battle fort of Wuqi Mountain was the first to be breached, and the barbarian army rushed in from the gap in Wuqi Mountain."

"On November 15, under the attack of the barbarians inside and outside, the western defense line of the Far North Fortress of the Great Wall was lost. On the same day, the barbarian wolf rode along the line of the Great Wall and launched a rapid maneuver. Trying to cut off the back of the Great Wall defense line and encircle it inside and out. ”

"At the same time, Huang Shengli, the commander of the Extreme North Army, made a decisive decision and sent troops to block the barbarian soldiers, and successfully retreated most of the Far North Fortress of the Far North Army to the line of the Daling River, and then the Far North Fortress was lost."

"On November 17, the Far North Harbor was outflanked by the barbarian forces by land and sea. It's hard to hold on. Weibei and Pingbei are two aircraft carrier battle groups that have suffered heavy losses under the sneak attack...... Start the breakout. ”

"On November 18, the Far North Harbor fell, and the Great Wall defense line fell completely into the hands of the enemy. In the process of breaking through, the Weibei formation was the rear of the Pingbei formation, and finally suffered heavy losses. or sink by itself or in battle, and the whole army will be annihilated. The Pingbei formation successfully broke through the barbarian naval encirclement and is now heading for Lianda Port with all its might. ”

……

"Today, the first phase of the campaign seems to be over."

"The Daling River defensive line was strengthened by the retreat of the Far North Corps. Although it was also blocked by the battlefield and lost contact, it has a long river of natural dangers. It is also defended by most of the Far North Army. At the same time, most of the empire's super-level and high-level combat power were also deployed on the front line of the Daling River at the same time. ”

"Therefore, the minister estimates that the barbarians are in a hurry, and it will be difficult to blitzkrieg and invade like at the beginning of the battle."

"And the strange thing is that the barbarian forces are also piled up on the north bank of the defense line of the Daling River. It seems that there is no intention of blitzkrieg invasion at the beginning of the battle, but it is a distant confrontation with our army, and the battle situation tends to stabilize. ”

Meng Gu finished the whole paragraph in a deep voice and looked at the emperor.

……

"This battle...... What about the battle damage? The emperor's face was filled with grief, and he asked in a deep voice.

Meng Gu sighed: "The loss of the combat strength of the Far North Army is about forty percent, mainly due to the loss of troops deployed on the defense line of the Great Wall, as well as the losses on the way to retreat - this is still when Huang Shengli retreats immediately. The Great Wall defense line was stationed with most of the Far North Army, and he had brought back at least about 20%, otherwise...... If the Daling River defense line is not immediately consolidated by the remaining forces, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Well...... Huang Shengli was meritorious, no one expected that the barbarian would suddenly appear when the magic field was still stable. Unexpectedly, after hundreds of years of changes, the barbarians' combat power was actually ...... Hmph, I've learned so many tricks! ”

The Emperor replied in a deep voice, and immediately, he looked at Meng Gu again: "Where is Huang Shengli at this time?" ”

"Your Majesty......" Meng Gu's face suddenly showed a look of grief.

Admiral Huang ...... Die. He whispered.

The Emperor's face shuddered suddenly.

……

"That'...... How are the Far North Demon Generals? He was silent for a long time, but then asked.

"The Extreme North Demon General Group is also four out of ten, and the Demon General Group is the leader of Tan Fei...... Because the barbarians' intention of annihilating the forces of our Great Wall defense line was not perfectly realized, they were so angry that they brazenly mobilized two war emperors to pursue our army during the retreat. Tan Tong took the lead by cooperating with the troops, and the sneak attack injured one person. Later, he was injured in a fight with another person. In the end, Commander Tan successfully withdrew the Daling River defense line. It's just that he is too old and is now ...... Dying. ”

Meng Gu replied in a low voice again.

The sound of "click" sounded, and the handle of the chair on which the emperor was sitting had been pinched off alive, and his face was already iron-blue.

"This is probably our greatest loss since the start of the war...... he muttered.

……

"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Gu said in a deep voice: "One of the six stars is about to go...... At this time, it doesn't matter, I have ordered Yang Qi, the deputy chief of the military department, to be the commander-in-chief of the Dalinghe defense line, and he also brought the other three stars of the empire to the Dalinghe defense line, except for His Royal Highness the King of Qi. and the vast majority of the Empire's high-ranking forces, which were urgently drawn from various legions. The defense line of the Daling River has also been completely stabilized. ”

"But if we encounter a strategic decisive battle in which both sides will do their best, one less star will be lost, and our army will be at a lot of disadvantage...... This is a super-level force that is not dared to be used lightly in ordinary times, but at critical times and decisive battles, it is enough to determine the trend of the battlefield......" Meng Gu also said worriedly.

……

"We shouldn't be...... We're all wrong......" The Emperor closed his eyes in pain, "I shouldn't have trusted the judgment of District 51...... If we had been prepared, why not. Why? ”

"Your Majesty...... You're harsh on them. Meng Gu smiled bitterly.

"In fact, it was because we listened to them that we raised our vigilance. Otherwise, we don't even know that they are about to invade - then the Great Wall defense line will inevitably be wiped out, and even the Daling River defense line will probably be caught off guard. If we don't listen to them, I'm afraid we're going to repeat the story of the Second Empire. ”

"It's just...... They seem to have misjudged the barbarian invasion. Or maybe something unknown has happened that we can't even perceive - the minister prefers the latter, knowing that the Fifty-First Sector of the Empire has never gone wrong. People make mistakes, but science doesn't. The data is error-free, the instrument is error-free. ”

……

"Yes...... Perhaps, this is providence......"

The Emperor sighed deeply, and suddenly, he seemed to remember something again: "What about the Arctic Expedition Group?" Academician Qian and the others...... Shainin they ...... Will it be okay? Oh no, weren't they conducting a scientific expedition in the depths of the far north when the barbarians invaded? Will they be okay? Or, they have ...... How good is that? They're the hope of the empire twenty years later......"

The Emperor asked in surprise, his face beginning to grow worried and painful again.

Meng Gu smiled bitterly. His grandson Meng Qingshi is also in that team, why don't you worry?

He thought about it for a while, but still replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty." Don't worry too much. I reckon...... They may be lost to the far north at this time, but it is highly likely that they have not yet been discovered or caught by the barbarians. ”

"Why?" A bright color suddenly flashed in the emperor's eyes.

……

"You know, it's hard for academics to say. But Xie Ning and they are the youngest generation of my Huaxia Empire, the most elite genius demon battle group, and this is through the battle. It is easy to tell - if they are captured by the barbarians, do you think, with the brutality of the barbarians, they will not hang their heads high in front of the battle to demoralize our army? So far, we have not received any news that the Imperial Expedition has been demonstrated by the barbarians. ”

"So, don't worry too much, I reckon they may have been lucky enough to survive the first wave of barbarian troops. And after that, even if the barbarians noticed them, they would inevitably ignore a small suspected reconnaissance force, but go straight to the defense line of our Great Wall. In this way, they seem dangerous, but they are actually safe. ”

"I thought, at this time, maybe they are deep in the forests of the far north, looking for their way home."

"I only hope that the Imperial Yongwu, whom we have high hopes for, will not be as rigid and enthusiastic as his ancestors, and rush to fight with the barbarians as soon as his mind is hot. It's best to bring them back safely. ”

Meng Gu smiled bitterly.

……

"No, it won't." The Emperor shook his head, "You may have paid too little attention to that child, and you didn't know much. I had always thought that the child would be very cunning—as long as he was the true soul descendant of Uncle Yong's ancestor. Otherwise, I would not have entrusted him with the responsibility of being the head of the regiment. Now, I just hope that they can be blessed by God. ”

He sighed heavily, but then asked, "If they want to escape back to the Empire, where is the most likely choice?" ”

"By sea." Meng Gu nodded back.

"Your Majesty, this is really the reason why I am worried about them - the sea route has been completely blocked by the barbarians, and according to the naval report, the barbarians are pursuing the Dingbei Air Mother Formation, which was spared at the beginning of the encirclement and suppression campaign. If they try to return by sea, they will be spotted or run head-on...... The consequences can be devastating. ”

Meng Gu shook his head, but a thick melancholy appeared on his face.

……

"I hope ...... May they find a chance and return safely...... They are the hope for the future of the Empire...... I'd rather lose one more star than lose them......"

The Emperor was already muttering.

"Your Majesty, about them, we can only pray for them that the ancestors have blessed us......" Meng Gu also sighed, but looked at the emperor solemnly: "But now, Your Majesty, we have to take care of the current ...... It's time for the whole country to mobilize. ”

He said in a deep voice.

"Yes......" the Emperor's face gradually became silent.

"Meng Qing, follow me to the press conference hall...... I'm going to release a national Motoshi speech. ”

He shook his head, as if to banish the confusion of worries from his mind, and he said in a low voice, striding out of the hall. (To be continued......)
