Chapter 526: There are trade-offs
"What do you think?"
After sending away Fang Zhicheng and other nine generals, Yang Yi left Jackson behind.
Although Jackson is Yang Yi's subordinate, in order to facilitate command, especially after the battle starts, Yang Yi cannot take care of all aspects, and Jackson is responsible for commanding the reserves, so Yang Yi called him over, and became familiar with the nine generals, and at the same time improved his status, so that the nine generals knew that he was the commander of the reserve, and there would inevitably be many opportunities to deal with him in the future.
"It's not ideal, but it's not bad."
Yang Yi didn't say anything, waiting for Jackson to continue.
"Among them, maybe that Fang Zhicheng can be relied on." Jackson glanced at Yang Yi before saying, "When I was in the Gendarmerie Galaxy, I heard people mention it. After the outbreak of the war, due to the lack of early preparations, the human legions were defeated on all fronts, even in the most well-prepared Third War Zone. In order to preserve the strength and allow more main legions to withdraw to the home system in time, someone must stay behind to break the rear. Although Zhan Ruilin and Lin Xiaoting could directly give an order to let a certain unit be responsible for the break, Fang Zhicheng took the initiative to stand up and take on the task of breaking the back. I heard that when he took over the task, he asked Lin Liexun, who went to give the order, to bring back the suicide note and prepare for death. He was able to return to his home galaxy alive, in fact, it was also thanks to Lin Liexun. According to rumors from the outside world, when Fang Zhicheng led the troops to retreat steadily, in order to avoid a surprise attack, the military headquarters decided to close the route ahead of schedule. It's just that when it was executed, Lin Liexun did not obey the order issued by the military department, and let the route open for one more day. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Fang Zhicheng to return to his home galaxy alive. Because of this incident, Lin Liexun missed the opportunity to be promoted. After that, in order to give an explanation to the military department. Lin Xiaoting also punished Lin Liexun. In fact, Lin Liexun's later departure from his home galaxy was also related to this incident. ”
"So, Fang Zhicheng owes Lin Liexun a great favor?"
Jackson nodded and said, "Actually, they had a fatal friend when they served in the grassroots army, and the personalities of the two are very similar. Your relationship with Lin Feng is not a secret. And Lin Feng is Lin Liexun's favorite niece, it is impossible for Fang Zhicheng not to know. For Lin Liexun's sake, he won't make trouble for you. Besides, he came here, I'm afraid it wasn't just Lin Xiaoting's arrangement. ”
"What do you mean?"
"At the beginning, in the battle after the break, more than half of the legions under his command were killed or wounded, and the officers and soldiers of the galaxy who returned to their home system with him alive wanted revenge. He was the same, I heard in that battle. Nearly all of his proudest men were killed, less than one percent made it back alive to their home system, all of them were seriously wounded, and only eight returned to the team. He and Lin Xiaoting are the same kind of people, and they must be hot-blooded soldiers. In your opinion, a military man like him will give up the opportunity for revenge? Lin Xiaoting sent him over, I'm afraid the main thing is that he wants to come. Jackson let out a long sigh and added. Although we know that the battle here is just the beginning. The war is far from over, but in the eyes of others, it is the last battle. If Fang Zhicheng also sees it this way, he will definitely not miss the last chance. ”
Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood what Jackson meant.
"Actually, the subordinates he brought with him wanted revenge even more. Anyway. Everyone is a soldier. From another perspective, would you pass up this opportunity? ”
"Of course not."
"Therefore, Fang Zhicheng will not be a stumbling block, but the reinforcements sent by the other eight war zones, I'm afraid I can't have too much hope."
"What do you mean?"
"Although I don't know them. But looking at the legions they brought, one can imagine that the other eight theaters are not very enthusiastic about guarding Beacon Mars. The reinforcements sent were just to give the Yu family face, and they didn't want to become the opponent of the Yu family because of this matter, and they didn't want to miss the opportunity to get credit. The point is that the combat effectiveness of these reinforcements is very poor, and if they really want to fight, even if the commander-in-chief is fine, they may not be able to hold their positions. ”
Yang Yi sighed secretly, of course he understood this.
"To put it bluntly, I'm afraid those theater commanders who stayed in the rear didn't figure it out at all."
Yang Yi was slightly stunned and looked at Jackson incomprehensibly.
"No matter what they think, it can be seen from this incident that the only one who really has a clear understanding is Zhan Ruilin, and the other theater commanders either have a trace of illusion or are stupid. If they could realize that this was only the beginning of the Sixth Greenwich War, and that it was far from the end of the war, and that the battle on Mars would determine the course of the entire war, as Zhan Ruilin did, I am afraid they would not be so casual. ”
"The question is, what can we do?"
Jackson smiled wryly and sighed, "Obviously, we have to prepare for the worst. ”
Yang Yi nodded slightly, and then pondered.
In fact, he left Jackson behind and asked Jackson for his opinion, just to know if these reinforcements were reliable and whether he should adjust the defensive deployment.
"Of course, as long as Fang Zhicheng can stabilize, the problem is not very serious. If he guards the northern continent, he will be able to form a horn with us. At that time, even if the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent fall, we will be able to rely on each other. As long as Fang Zhicheng didn't release the water, then with the two fortress-level military camps, it would definitely be no problem to hold on to Beacon Mars for a while. Besides, if we want to lure the enemy deeper, we will definitely have to give up some areas. ”
Yang Yi smiled faintly, and Jackson's last sentence was to the point.
Noticing Yang Yi's expression, Jackson didn't say any more. In fact, Jackson knew that Yang Yi had already made a decision and discussed with him, just seeking support. In other words, Jackson just said Yang Yi's thoughts, so naturally he didn't need to say it too thoroughly.
"It seems that this is the only way to do it." After a long while, Yang Yi let out a sigh and said, "As you said, among these three reinforcements, at least one of them must be able to hold out." Now it seems that the only person we can rely on is Fang Zhicheng, at least he is more reliable than others. ”
"In that case, we have to make a decision early."
Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "It's not the time yet. ”
Jackson's brow jumped a few times, but he didn't ask much.
"When will reinforcements from other colony systems arrive?"
"It's just a few days."
Yang Yi nodded slightly and said, "You have to hurry up about this." Regardless of anything else, organize and reorganize the reinforcements of all the colonial systems. When the time comes, you draw up a list of officers, let me see it, and if necessary, send our men to serve as junior officers. It's not that I don't believe in these reinforcements, it's that time is running out, and we have to try to get the reserves ready to fight before the battle begins. ”
Jackson nodded, indicating that he understood what Yang Yi meant.
Seeing that Yang Yi had nothing else to say, Jackson didn't delay much and consciously said goodbye and left.
Actually, Jackson guessed correctly. Yang Yi did make a decision, and discussed with Jackson just to determine whether Fang Zhicheng was reliable. According to Yang Yi's plan, after the arrival of the enemy, he will take the initiative to abandon some areas, let the enemy land on Mars, and then fight a ground battle with the enemy. The point is, which regions to give up? After discussing with Jackson, Yang Yi also had a sense of proportion and knew how to make trade-offs.
Five days later, reinforcements from fourteen colonizing systems arrived on Mars at the same time, along with a large convoy of convoys. Each of these fourteen colonial systems sent ten legions, counting the one hundred and fifty legions brought by Jackson. The Yu family also invested heavily in sending the weapons and equipment of these one hundred and fifty legions with thousands of transport ships, as well as enough combat materials to consume more than half a year.
Of course, these are not the most important things.
In the convoy, there are ten ships with unique shapes. These were ten Weaver Clan's spaceships, and they were carrying exactly what Yang Yi needed most right now.
Fifty large SSS-class primordial converters.
The Star Soul Empress not only fulfilled her promise, but also provided extra help. That's why spare parts for the maintenance and maintenance of these large primordial converters have been delivered.
With these 100 SSS-level Origin Energy Converters, as well as enough spare parts, Yang Yi was confident that he would hold Beacon Mars, or at least that he would force the enemy to land on Beacon Mars and fight on the ground.
On the same day, Yang Yi also received a piece of good news.
That is, the other three fortress-level barracks have been completed, and it will take a few more days to install the heavy weapons and be ready for use. According to the report sent by Carlson, the three barracks were built in strict accordance with the standards of the Lei Ling Clan, as long as there were sufficient troops, sufficient war materials, plus correct command and appropriate defensive tactics, they could block ten times or even a hundred times the enemy's strong attack.
It's just that the space passage connecting the four fortress-level barracks has not yet been completed.
Of course, there's nothing to worry about. The SSS-level origin converter provided by the Weaver Clan has been delivered, and the relevant technology has long been provided to Yang Yi. After the completion of the barracks, as long as Yang Yi is willing, he can build a stable space passage between the four barracks at any time.
In the next few days, Yang Yi was very busy.
The main thing is to distribute the war materials sent by the Yu family, and assign detailed combat missions to the reinforcements stationed in the three fortress-level barracks.
In fact, this is also the last thing Yang Yi wants to do.
Except for the reinforcements from the third theater, which brought enough combat materials, the reinforcements from the other eight theaters did not have materials and needed to be provided by Yang Yi. This means that there will definitely be conflicts when distributing materials, and only Yang Yi is qualified to mediate.
Obviously, it was impossible for Yang Yi to give an order directly.
In any case, those generals had to be given enough face to make them feel valued, so they could only distribute supplies in a consultative manner.
When Otis received the message from the Shadow Ship and hurriedly found Yang Yi, Yang Yi was still worried about some trivial things.
It's just that there is no time left for him.
The Shadow Ship sent out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation successfully completed the mission, not only proving Yuyang and Yang Yi's speculation, but also discovering the dispatched Silicon Charm army.
The enemy has already moved, and in three days it will reach Beacon Mars. (To be continued.) )
