The fierce battle in the airspace at Treflan Jump Point came to an end with another retreat of the Western fleet.

The tail of the last Western Battleship has disappeared into the black void. The Fijian fleet, which was cruising in groups on both sides of the jump lane, stopped firing. Dragging his scarred body, he slowly drew a small arc from the void, turned the bow of the ship, and sailed back to the Al-Aqsa Fortress, which was suspended like a huge metal wheel 300,000 kilometers away.

Looking past the Al-Aqsa Fortress, the distant blast lights and criss-crossing energy cannon lights have disappeared. The nebulae in the distance and the bright stars on the cosmic curtain are re-revealed.

Against this eternal backdrop, rows and rows of battleships moved slowly. The dense glow of the tail thrusters and the unextinguished flames in the cracks of the hull formed thousands of streams, gurgling and flowing. It's like a grand and crazy concert, after the colorful smoke, changing lights, and hoarse roars, all that remains is the silence of the end.

Carrying the prism piercing machine of Li Fo and several high-ranking generals, it passed through the passage of the flagship, the brave, and the space aircraft carrier, and plunged into the boundless universe. Facing the golden light of the star, he flew towards the huge body of the Al-Aqsa Fortress 20,000 kilometers away.

Hundreds of fighters waiting for the mothership to reclaim the signal flew up and down next to the silver-white mango-shaped piercing fuselage. The battleships that were preparing in front of the harbor, like huge metal warriors, quickly retreated from both sides of the piercing machine.

20,000 kilometers passed in a flash, and Li Fo, who was as beautiful as iron, took the lead in stepping down the gangway and stepping onto the fortress port. Solid ground.

As Liver's right-hand men, Gambier and Sozer were already waiting in port. When he saw Li Buddha coming, he hurriedly greeted him. It wasn't until they crossed the wide pier and approached that they and the officers behind them saw Li Fo's appearance clearly, and they couldn't help but be startled.

At this moment, Li Fo looked embarrassed. A uniform that is always clean and tidy on weekdays is dirty and wet. The blonde hair under the military hat clinging to the forehead seemed to be able to wring out water. There was also a bruise near the corner of the eye that had not had time to clean up the blood. Obviously, "this is the result of the direct hit of the enemy's two battleship-class main guns in the battle just now, and the attack of more than a dozen space fighters."

Seeing the gazes of Gambier, Sozer and the others," Li Fo coldly waved his hand to signal that he was out of the way, and then bent down and stepped into the flying car that had stopped in front of him.

The flying car galloped along the inner road of the fortress.

Only the damaged area was covered by the blazing flames............ Soldiers running back and forth set up firefighting mechs spraying high-pressure water jets on the side of the road, medics carrying the wounded, and medical mechs placing medical pods on the spot......

On both sides of the street, scenes quickly retreated to the rear. The entire fortress, a tragic and busy post-war scene, staring out the window, Li Fojian's eyebrows were low, and his eyes were gloomy. The already sickly pale complexion became even paler.

Gambier and Sozer, who sat across from him, were also silent. They knew that in the battle they had just had, they had lost another fleet group. During the battle, "the Western fleet once pressed the Filipino coalition forces to the edge of the fortress and besieged the fortress for an hour!" If it weren't for the solidity of the fortress and a few powerful fortress cannons that destroyed the world," he said that he would not regret it, looking at the devastation outside the window, and thinking of the scene of the Western Covenant fleet frantically besieging the fortress at that time, both of them shuddered.

In less than ten days, this is the twentieth battle that the Iron Army has met at the jump point!

With such an intensive offensive in such a short period of time, the commander of the Western Fleet, Reinbod, is simply a complete lunatic!

And not only he is a madman, but the entire Westward fleet is a madman!

These days, they are like a flock of sharks that smell blood, driving battleships into jump points again and again. One ship was wrecked, and the other came up: one fleet had just been wiped out, and more had already appeared at the jump point with a cloud of white light. It is not uncommon for them to brave artillery fire to force their assaults, fire at the terrifying white light of the fortress cannons, and even rush forward through the wreckage of their comrades.

This onslaught, regardless of casualties, turned the Treflan jump point into a bloody meat grinder! So far, the Iron Army under Li Fo has lost more than twenty fleets, and Renbode's losses are more than double! The two sides are like two beasts, biting each other in this dark Colosseum. Bloody, exhausted, but can't stop!

&nbā spent countless efforts and nearly ten years to accumulate the power that was consumed in the bottomless pit of Triffran?

"General" can't go on like this! ”

Silence all the way. As soon as he walked into Sober's office, Sozer couldn't help it anymore and opened. Road.

The situation in Triffran has become increasingly dangerous. In recent battles, the Western Fleet has broken through several fleet interceptions in succession and launched direct attacks on the fort in the airspace around Al-Aqsa Fortress. This is an extremely dangerous signal. It indicates that the strength of the coalition fleet has dropped to a dangerous level, and that West Covenant could break through the defenses and storm Triffran at any moment!

Once the Al-Aqsa fortress was destroyed, even the Iron Army under the leadership of Li Fo was known for its bravery and tenacity, and it was impossible for them to be a match for the vast fleet of the Western Covenant.

The grim reality made Suo Ze have to remind Li Fo of the fact that in this troubled world, only by ensuring that he always has a strong power in his hands will he be respected. And without the Iron Army, his gang is a toothless tiger!

Previously, this group blatantly turned against Fei Yang, but was respectfully invited back by the Fei Alliance, and Li Fu even became the actual commander of the coalition army because of this, isn't it relying on this powerful military force at hand?

The Iron Army is the foundation for this group to control power and achieve future goals.

Without the Iron Army, there would be no everything!

"General, I suggest" Gambier looked gloomy: "Exit Trevlan for the time being!" ”

In the office, quietly.

Gambier's words were like opening Pandora's box, making even Suozé, who had turned this thought in his heart countless times, tremble.

The Iron Army's withdrawal from Triflan was tantamount to declaring the fall of Al-Aqsa. Not to mention how difficult it will be to clean up in the future, just thinking about how many planets and cities will be destroyed under the guns of the long-driving Western Covenant is enough to make anyone shudder! Suo Ze asked himself about his many years of military career, he is used to seeing life and death, and he can be regarded as hard-hearted. But when I heard Gambier's poison, I still couldn't help but feel numb on my scalp.

"The current top management of the Filipino League obviously hasn't understood who they should listen to!" Gambir sneered, "You have ordered the fleet to be called together one after another, but how many fleets have arrived in Triflan these days?" They gave us the title of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and they wanted us to be cannon fodder in the front, and we hid in the back to watch the wind, and the abacus was too good. ”

Gambier gritted his teeth and paced back and forth for a few steps, Huo Ran stared at Li Fo steadily: "General, Terry Fran can't be defended!" Although retreating now will damage your prestige slightly, "but the lesser of two evils, rather than we have fought hard here, it is better to let the war completely erode!" As long as we still have the Iron Army in our hands, we still have the initiative! The more erosive the situation, the sooner the actual control of the coalition forces will be in hand! ”

In the end, Li Fo's number one strategist propped up his desk and said word by word: "General, in fact, you have long understood that the reason why Zhao Xi and Hill acquiesced to you becoming the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is that there is the shadow of Hastings behind you!" ”

Li Fo sat behind his desk and was "silent."

Every word Gambier said actually turned in his heart countless times!

The reason for the rebellion was that after losing the presidential election, Zhao Xi and Hastings had already started an investigation into him. The investigation report of the joint investigation team is like a sharp sword hanging over his head, which may fall at any time.

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat", not to mention how many things Barbara has done for him over the years have not seen the light, even if he is clean and spotless, opponents can plant blame him at will!

If he didn't leave at that time, he wouldn't even have a chance to turn around!

However, leaving is not giving up, but retreating!

He has always believed that as long as he does not become a prisoner of his political enemies, as long as he still has the Iron Army and the three major galaxies in his hands, the opportunity to return to Feiyang and even join the Alliance of the Filipino Alliance will come sooner or later!

No one knows the current situation of the Filipino Alliance better than him, and Hastings is terminally ill and the coalition is full of internal contradictions. Once the war is eroded, "no one else dares to say it, at least President Carter and the military of Lane, the first one will think of himself!

However, even when Li Fo was at his most optimistic, he didn't expect that the opportunity would come so soon!

When Sober swept through the four major galaxies of the Republic of Ryan with a move like antelope horns, and the troops were directed at Treflan, the entire Filipino Alliance fell into a huge panic.

And Hastings' refusal to return to the aid made the Republic of Lane completely fall to him. President Lane Carter rushed to Maema overnight to meet and ask for help, and then made a public speech to promote the re-election process of the Filipino-Allied coalition, which directly set off a wave of rebellion.

This wave is getting bigger and bigger. Finally, with the acquiescence of President Zhao Xi and President Hill of Chakner, he dramatically changed from a rebel to the titular commander-in-chief of the Filipino coalition forces in less than a month!

Of course, none of this made Lever lose his judgment. On the contrary, from the day he returned to the Filipino League, he knew that the attitudes of Feiyang and Ryan were under the control of Hastings.

The old man was not afraid that he would be able to turn the sky upside down.

He suppressed himself and forced himself out of the Filipino League, which had ruined the prestige he had accumulated over the years. Although he still has part of the army in his hands. However, without the Filipino Alliance and the huge resource base of the Filipino Alliance, with these dozens of fleets and three galaxies in his hands, he will not be able to achieve the climate no matter what! Regardless of whether the final winner of the war is the Filipino Alliance or the Western Covenant, they can clean themselves up with their backhands!

As long as he still has ambitions, then replacing McKinley as commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is an offer that cannot be refused. Even if you know that this is a bait, you can only close your eyes and open your mouth to swallow it!

This is his best chance to return to the Filipino League, and it is also a bet designed by Hastings for him to win the southeast campaign, freeing up his hands to return to the army Trevran, and his own coalition commander-in-chief is just an empty title. And once Hastings is defeated or dies of illness, then this title is the biggest capital for himself to seize the power of the Filipino League and ascend to the supreme throne!

Every time he thought of this, "a great sense of fear arose in Li Fo's heart.

Hastings was a mountain he could never overcome.

The old man "has calculated everything!"

Originally, he asked himself to go to Lane because he was going to choose himself as his successor. And later suppressed himself because the fat man of the Lelei Federation became a better choice than himself. He needed to squeeze his self back into the palm of his hand!

However, even when he went south at this moment, Hastings still did not press all the treasures in one basket.

He chose the fat man and "pressed the treasure to the southeast." And at the same time, he also gave himself a chance.

Once the southeast loses, "that fat man will obviously lose the possibility of leading the Filipino League." At that time, the one who won this bet will become the leader of the Fiji Alliance according to his earliest plan.

For the old man, although he is ambitious, he is still a Feiyang person after all.

Compared to Fei Yang's death, he would rather retreat to the second.

Thinking of this, Lever had already vetoed Bill's proposal. As a pawn that never got out of control from beginning to end, he knew that as long as Hastings was still around, he had to be aware of being a pawn. He didn't know what Hastings would do, but his instinctive fear of Hastings made him sure that the old man would never put the whole of Treflan on his own.

As soon as he quits Treflan, he will completely lose the qualification to compete for the first place in the Filipino League!

No matter what, you can't give up on what you see! Only cling to and waiting for change! Li Buddha thought to himself, stood up and paced back and forth two steps. Thoughts have become clearer and clearer.

Treflan is in a war rage, although it can increase the importance of the Iron Army in the short term. But it didn't do him any good to defeat Westo after replacing Hastings. Moreover, during the period of time that they were here, the deployment of troops from the countries of the Filipino Alliance has been much calmer.

If you retreat at this time, you will lose all your efforts!

Of course, Feiyang and Chuckner will immediately turn the other cheeks of the people, and this group of radical patriotic young officers and their staunchest allies, the Republic of Lane, will also give up their support for them because of disappointment!!

"Did the High Command reply about the reinforcements of the coalition forces?" Li Fo walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. A space train speeding past the tracks outside the fortress. The portholes of a grid of speedy skimming, brightly lit. It's like an old-fashioned film film.

"Ryan's fleet is moving relatively quickly, and it has been determined that it will arrive in Trifflan within twenty hours.

However, President Carter can now only draw 20 ships from the various theaters of Lane, which is a drop in the bucket for us. ”

When Gambil listened to Liver's question, he knew that he was in love with his position as commander-in-chief of the coalition forces and was reluctant to adopt his own plan. At the moment, he sighed in his heart and replied: "Although the country and Chackner have promised to send additional fleets, however, there is no definite news yet. ”

"Let's wait a little longer," Li Fo said lightly, "We have not yet reached the point of exhaustion. ”

"General—"

Gambier opened his mouth worriedly and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a wave of his hand.

"I've decided, needless to say." Li Fo stared out the window for a long time, then turned around and said, "However, we don't have to stick to the jump point. If necessary, you can temporarily retreat and let the enemy in to fight! ”

"Put it in?" Gambir and Thorze looked at each other, shocked.

"Don't forget, in our hands, there is another adjudicator!" Li Fo's eyes were calm: "He's been here for so long, it's time for him to move his muscles!" She sent him over, but she didn't come to support the elderly! ”

Gambier and Thorze suddenly realized.

This is the most secret force in Li Fo's hands, not to mention the coalition army, even the iron army does not know.

At Heidfield, Barbara was forced to use the adjudicator, and immediately after the defeat, she activated the self-destruct device, leaving her opponent with no way to handle it. And in the airspace of this jump point, the large-scale use of adjudicators will obviously make people see the clues.

However, putting enemies in the Trevlan system is different.

At that time, whether it is the Western Covenant Army or the coalition forces, in order to compete for the surrounding waterways, jump points, colonization planets and space bases, they will be reduced to zero. The adjudicator is unaware.

As long as he can accumulate a few partial victories, Terry Fran will not necessarily fall into the hands of Renbord. Moreover, the loss of the jump point was also a shock to the Filipino League. Those procrastinating coalition forces are afraid that they will rush to reinforcements at the speed of light!

The worries were swept away, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Just as Gambil walked to the corner of the room to pour three cups of coffee, a nervous electronic sound was heard. He pressed down the communicator next to the automatic door and frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"Urgent war report!" Outside the door, the voice of Heckel, another confidant of Li Fo, hurried but could not hide his surprise.

The automatic door of the office was halfway open when Heckel rushed in.

"General, Southeast War Report!" Under the surprised gaze of the three of them, Hecker walked quickly to Li Fo and handed over an electronic folder: "A fierce battle broke out between my Southeast Alliance and the Western Covenant in the twin star corridors of several galaxies, and Marshal Hastings was defeated At present, the coalition forces have retreated to the Lelei Federation!" Judging by the interpretation of the battle, Field Marshal Hastings may have lost his ability to command! ”

What the?!

Before they could come to their senses, Heckel, who was gasping for breath quickly, continued: "In addition, after receiving the news of Hastings' defeat, the forty-two fleets of Feiyang and the twenty-three fleets of Chackner have already set off for here. Expect to arrive in Trevlan in 60 hours! ”

&nbā。 Even with Li Fo's calmness, when he opened the electronic folder, he couldn't help but tremble his hands.

After quietly reading the battle report, Li Fu handed the folder to Gambier and Sozer, who were already red with excitement, turned around and stood by the porthole, staring out the window, and clenching the window frame with both hands.

"Zhao Xi and Hill, give in to us! Checkmate! After a long time, Gambier's trembling voice came from behind him: "Congratulations! ”

Li Fo was so dead that he gritted his teeth.

"Send an electronic ship, find a way to contact Tsuyoshi Fujii, I want to talk to him personally!"

"The twists and turns of the war, finally in the month 206-4, with the fall of Hastings and the defeat of the Battle of the Two Star Horns, broke free from the reins and ran wildly in the unknown direction."

After the war, a professor at the Military Academy told this period of history with emotion.

"At that time, no one thought that the Southeast Coalition Army still had the power to return to heaven. Opposite them was the main force of the Western Covenant, led by Sober. And behind them is the ambitious Li Fo. Even the President of the Republic of Feiyang, Zhao Xi, and the President of Chuckna, Hill, "also expressed their attitude by sending reinforcements as soon as possible." ”

The professor opened the book: "Let's see what happened at that time. ”

On April 18, 206-4, the Southeast Coalition retreated into the Central Galaxy of the Lelei Federation, relying on the jump point to engage in fierce battles with the attacking enemy forces. ”

"On the same day, in the Resque theater, Qian Bolin and Li Hongwu led the coalition fleet to complete the control of the outer space and airspace of Canglang Star, completed the deployment of space carrier clusters in twelve directions of Canglang Star at 11 a.m. standard time, sent a large number of space fighters into the atmosphere, and united ground forces to launch the sixth full-scale attack on the Western Army led by Prince Jeppen Bobet at noon."

"Also on this day, Emperor Wilhelm III of Binart, with a strong force of three hundred squadrons, arrived at the Naga Federation. The Naga Federation held a grand military parade to welcome the arrival of William III. Thousands of battleships lined up in a thousand-kilometer-long space corridor and fired their guns at the same time. This scene, recorded by the photographer of the Western Covenant, has become an eternal memory of the heyday of the Western Covenant. ”

"On the 21st, after judging the situation of the battle, William III, who believed that the southeast was already under control, decided to go north to assist Renbod in completing the occupation of the Trevlan system as soon as possible. This decision was also considered by many military experts after the war to be the key to the entire strategic turning point. However, even the harshest critics admit that with the situation and the trust in Sauber, Wilhelm III could not have marched to the southeast.

On the same day, the Fyan and Ryan fleets, led by Glaser and Feng Zhi, respectively, entered the Triflan system and joined the coalition fleet under the command of Liver. Since then, together with the other Allied fleets that have arrived one after another, and the returning Fisicella fleet, Liver's fleet has reached 170 troops, which is basically the same as the attacking Renbord's forces. The situation in Triffran's battle, after the most dangerous ten days, temporarily stabilized. ”

The professor read, turned the page, and said, "Let's look at it next." ”

"On the 22nd, after a hard battle, the Southeast Coalition Army led by General Tian Xingjian was forced to abandon the jump point and retreat to the depths of the Lelei Central Star Field. The gate of the Leray Federation was declared lost. ”

He raised his head and said to the audience: "After basically confirming that Hastings is seriously ill and has lost his ability to command, this news is considered to be a harbinger of the defeat of the Southeastern Coalition Army. At the time, no one doubted that Sober would eventually emerge victorious. Whether it is the top level or the people, whether it is within the military or the media of public opinion, everyone unanimously agrees that the defeat of this mechanic general is already fate. ”

On the same day, a major breakthrough was made in the land campaign of the Rensk Canglang Star. The Western Army, led by Bobet, lost three important defensive positions in succession. So much so that the entire Western Army was cut into four pieces by the Filipino coalition forces that broke through at high speed to depth. Millions of army soldiers retreated in a hurry, and the scene was extremely chaotic. By this time, Yuto Mikami, who had been avoiding the war, could no longer sit idly by. According to a post-war interpretation of classified Western documents, it was later in the day that Yuto Mikami decided to return to the army, seeking to prevent the air support of the army by the Filipino coalition space carrier cluster in a small and rapid battle. ”

"On the sunken day, the situation of the Resque battle has changed significantly. Due to an intelligence error, when launching a diversionary attack on the Canglang Star Sky Domain, Yuto Mikami's command cluster was bitten by the 25th and 26th fleets of Chakner that suddenly appeared behind him. Four hours later, the battle was staged for a strategic decisive battle as more fleets on both sides concentrated in the airspace of engagement."

"On the day of the moon, the southeastern coalition retreated to the capital star of Lelei. Relying on the airspace near the capital star, Dao delayed the offensive pace of the main force of the Western Covenant. However, as the offensive of the Western Fleet intensified, the room for maneuver of the coalition forces became smaller and smaller. In order to avoid being surrounded by the West, the coalition fleet abandoned the inner ring of the capital's starry sky and turned to the periphery to harass. Since then, the Western coalition forces have obtained the conditions for landing. ”

On the same day, the vanguard of the Western Coalition led by William III arrived in Trivoran via the four systems that Lane had occupied by the West. The center of gravity of the war has shifted to Trevran. ”

"On the day of the moon sword, after an unsuccessful attempt to break away from the battle, Yuto Mikami was forced to lead an army to face off against the Fijian Alliance."

In this battle, the two sides exchanged fierce fire in the airspace near Canglang Star. The battle lasted two whole days. In the end, Mikami Yuu and Qian Bolin Li Hongwu were evenly divided at the cost of 40 percent of the casualties of each force. However, after this battle, the three super fleets under the command of Yuto Mikami were basically disabled, and they lost the ability to conduct another large-scale battle. Raiders are on the verge of bankruptcy and can only hope for Sober's arrival. ”

"It was also on this day that Rennebod, who had been replenished with troops, continued to attack the Treflan jump point. The two sides fought for nearly 14 hours, losing a total of more than 12,000 warships. Al-Aqsa Fortress was completely scrapped due to the destruction of the core power area. A series of violent explosions blew up a third of the fortress's cabins. To this day, this abandoned fortress still hovers in the center of the battlefield. As a symbol of that great war. ”

"This is the most tragic battle in the history of human warfare.

In just fourteen hours, the number of casualties exceeded that of any other battle. It wasn't the most intense battle, though. Maybe it was. But with the arrival of the 28th of the month, the giant transport ships of the Sauber fleet gathered in the sky above the capital star of Lelei, and one after another Siyo space fighters rushed out of the ejection channel of the space carrier and flew into the atmosphere, and a tragic battle in space and land at the same time began! ”

"History says that the Battle of Ludritte. Also known as, the uninhabited planet defense war! ”
