Chapter 469: Come to the forefront!
"These hateful bureaucrats are now only willing to give the government a state of war. Don't they know that now that the Black Jupiter Domain has been completely lost, and the forward troops of the Double Eagle Empire have advanced to the Xianyun Constellation? ”
Barton hurriedly ended the press conference, stepped off the stage, and said to Sam with some anger.
Sam didn't express his opinion, and listened quietly before he spoke, "The latest news, the Third Fleet has been completely wiped out, and the First Fleet is trying to counterattack, but it was repulsed, and now it is stationed in the Immortal Cloud Constellation to confront the Imperial Fleet. And within the Black Jupiter Domain, the Twin Eagle Empire has begun to land and fight......"
In interstellar warfare, the battleship roaming in space is the first line of defense, and when the battleship collapses, the remaining ground war, although it will contain part of the forces of the Double Eagle Empire, will not have any impact on the entire battle situation.
Unlike ground warfare, in a ground war, even if the enemy forces break through the city, in order to stabilize the occupied area, a large number of troops are required, which can delay the entire course of the war.
But in an interstellar war, as long as all the opposing fleets can be annihilated, then it means that the war is over, even if the living planet is actually still in the hands of the enemy, but there is no meaning, without the duel of warships, everything is decadent.
For example, the living planets that make up the countries in an interstellar war are like isolated islands, if there are no warships, then the starry sky will be blocked, and maybe the landing battle will be brutal and will last for a long time, but it will have no impact on the overall situation.
For example, Japan on Earth, if Japan loses all its warships. The surrounding seas are all controlled by Chinese aircraft carriers, so there will be no suspense in this war.
The same goes for interstellar wars, as long as the Twin Eagle Empire annihilates all the Federation's warships. And blockading every planet, then even if they don't occupy a single planet, they can still be said to have won the entire war.
Therefore, someone once proposed that in an interstellar war, we should not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, but should find a way to annihilate all the warships of the other side and then block the planet.
The wars before the Twin Eagle Empire can be said to have implemented the military philosophy in this regard. The Third Fleet was directly destroyed under the sneak attack, and even if there was no landing operation, all planets were still in the hands of the Muller Federation. But without the Space Force, it can still only be reduced to a lost zone.
In this case, the most important thing for the Twin Eagle Empire to consider was not to conduct a landing operation, but to take advantage of the fact that the Federation's fleet had not yet gathered. Relying on the strength of the army. Directly kill the Xianyun constellation and find the main force of the First Fleet for a decisive battle.
But the Twin Eagle Empire stopped, as if their strategic purpose was only to occupy the Black Jupiter Domain, and they were not preparing for war for the entire Mueller Federation.
This change made Sam a little worried and felt that he couldn't understand it.
Although Patton is not a soldier, he is also clear about this basic military common sense, hearing this. Suddenly, his gaze became solemn, "What do you mean ......?"
"It is clear that the Twin Eagle Empire is not prepared for a full-scale war with us. All they want is to occupy the Black Jupiter Domain. ”
Sam said meaningfully.
"New River System...... They want a jump point for the new river system. ”
Patton suddenly understood why the Twin Eagle Empire suddenly launched a war, it turned out that he wanted to get the jump point of the new river system in his hands.
"But ......"
Patton frowned, "I remember that regarding the development of the new river system, we are not already negotiating with the Twin Eagle Empire, and it is said that the agreement has been almost reached. And if it's really just for the sake of the new river system, they suddenly start a war like this, aren't they afraid that the affairs of the new river system will be exposed? ”
"God knows what they're thinking."
Sam shook his head, then looked at his watch, "He's supposed to arrive, shall we go now?" ”
Barton smiled wryly and shook his head, "Let's go." After all, I still have to see him. Similarly, with a national crisis at hand, it's time for a showdown with him, and they can't let their battle affect this war against the Twin Eagle Empire. ”
Barton got into the car, Sam said to the driver, and the car turned around and headed towards the airport, where a spaceship was about to land in the distant sky.
Li Tomb sat in his private spaceship, looking at the planet that was about to land, this planet was not unfamiliar to him, and it was not the first time he had come here, but this time it was different, he would come here as the master of this planet, the ruler of this Federation.
With an indifferent gaze, Li Tomb took a sip of wine, stood up, and looked at Mu Chenggong and the others, who were sitting next to him, a little depressed and depressed, and borrowed wine to dispel their sorrows, "The war has broken out." I don't want anyone to hold me back. ”
Li Tomb said, put down the wine glass, and swept his gaze over Mu Chenggong and the others.
Mu Chenggong and the others glanced at each other, bitter in their hearts, but they didn't say anything, just nodded subconsciously, under Li Tomb's fierce murderous gaze, they knew that if they dared to shake their heads, Li Tomb might not mind killing them directly, even if at this time, the Federation needed their strength to resist the Double Eagle Empire.
"Very well, I will send someone to take over this war, and as for you, have a banquet. This war will not end anytime soon, and we may need the help of the international community, and we will need your help at that time. ”
Li Tomb nodded with satisfaction, he didn't choose to kill Mu Chenggong and the others, it was still useful for these people to stay, the war between the Mueller Federation and the Double Eagle Empire was only a small part of the plan, and how to pull other countries into the water next depends on Mu Chenggong and these people.
In any case, they are always old aristocrats, and their network among the ASEAN aristocracy is not comparable to Li Tomb. Some news, some plans, and they have to succeed in order for them to do it.
Mu Chenggong and the others breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at each other, and were a little glad in their hearts that the war suddenly launched by the Double Eagle Empire at least made Li Tomb dare not kill them.
But no matter how you think about it, Mu Chenggong still feels bitter, how did things evolve like this?
At first, I just wanted to find a viscount who was behind the pot to help, but in the end, I ushered in a more frightening and worried Earl of Li Tomb.
The spaceship finally arrived at the capital airport in the cranky thinking of Mu Chenggong and others, and there were already many people guarding outside, including Federal Chairman Patton, and some people from the military department.
Seeing Li Tomb and Mu Chenggong coming together, these people were stunned for a moment, but they didn't dare to ask more, got in the car, and went directly to the Capitol.
Li asked Barton to ride in the same car with him, and on the way, Li asked "How is the situation now?" ”
Patton said the latest battle report, and was silent for a moment before he said, "Since my lord has come here with other adults this time, I hope everyone can sit down and talk about dealing with the war of the Double Eagle Empire." ”
"Judging from the intelligence analysis, this sneak attack launched by the Double Eagle Empire may be aimed at the jumping point of the new river system."
Speaking of which, Barton said bitterly, "I know that your lordships have your own interests in the New River System, but no matter what, the Dark Jupiter Domain is the land of the Federation......
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
Li Tomb interrupted Patton's words with a wave of his hand.
"I mean...... I don't want this war to become a compromise between our interests before it even starts, and to lose the Black Jupiter Domain because of the interests of your lords. ”
This is what Barton and Sam were most worried about before, after analyzing that the Double Eagle Empire is not to start a full-scale war with the Mueller Federation, but only to occupy the Black Jupiter Domain, Barton and they are worried that this war may not be over, and the nobles of the Federation choose to compromise with the Double Eagle Empire in order not to expose the affairs of the New River System.
This is also the reason why they analyzed that the Double Eagle Empire launched a sneak attack, and failed to reach an agreement for a long time in the negotiations for the joint development of the new river system, perhaps the Double Eagle Empire wanted to use the capture of the new river system jump point to force the Muller Federation to comply.
In Barton's view, whether it is the nobles of the empire or the federation, as long as their own interests are not damaged, then the country and the nation are just a joke for them.
He feared that the country he loved would eventually be torn apart by the compromise of the interests of the nobles, and that a war that could have been won would end up losing at the negotiating table, which was the real painful thing.
Patton didn't like war, but he knew that sometimes it was necessary. It is better to fight in the end than to compromise without firing a shot.
"Rest assured, it's just getting started."
Li Tomb said softly, Barton's heart froze, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation and coldness, Li Tomb's words made him feel terrible and worried more than choosing to compromise.
He wanted to ask, but Li Tomb didn't mean to speak anymore, and when he arrived at the Capitol, the members of Congress who had been notified had already arrived and were waiting inside.
Li Tomb took the lead, followed by Mu Chenggong and others, seeing this posture, Barton, who got out of the car, was suddenly shocked, and he was in the tube, everyone is a person with a keen sense of politics, just from such an entry posture, you can see the unusual.
But no one spoke, just walked in silently.
Li Tomb entered the Capitol, and without greeting other members of Congress, he went directly to the rostrum, knocked on the microphone, and Ram, who followed, immediately shouted: "Silence! ”
The congressmen immediately quieted down, looked at Li Tomb standing on the stage, and then looked at Mu Chenggong and others standing behind Li Tomb, and their hearts were all chuckling.
"War broke out."
Li Tomb's tone was indifferent, "Expected. There may be some people here who are thinking of negotiating with the Twin Eagle Empire to resolve this war through diplomatic means. But I want to tell you that we have no room to back down in this war. The same is true for the Twin Eagle Empire. We must recapture the ...... of the Darkwood Domain as soon as possible" (to be continued......
