Chapter 858: Priorities
It must be admitted that the arrival of Yang Yi and Lin Feng is indeed an exciting thing. Although the two of them only brought fifteen fast spaceships and did not bring reinforcements, and the weapons and equipment carried by the spacecraft were only enough to arm the two legions, Yang Yi and Lin Feng were the most powerful reinforcements for the officers and soldiers of the Human Expeditionary Force.www.biquge.info From the standpoint of the officers and soldiers, as long as the commander-in-chief is there, what else is there to worry about?
Obviously, Yuyang will not miss this good opportunity to boost morale.
Before Yang Yi and Lin Feng arrived, Yuyang announced the news and asked the commanders at all levels to convey it, telling all the soldiers that the commander of the expeditionary force had returned and would fight side by side with everyone until the enemy was completely defeated. Next, that is, when Yang Yi went to find the Dragon God Empress, Yuyang summoned the senior officers of each legion and asked Lin Feng to meet with everyone, so as to make everyone believe that the commander had come here. Although Yang Yi did not appear, the officers and soldiers knew the relationship between Lin Feng and Yang Yi, so the effect of letting Lin Feng come forward was the same. Because he hadn't seen Yang Yi yet, Yuyang didn't reveal more information. Before meeting Yang Yi and figuring out Yang Yi's thoughts, Yuyang couldn't casually reveal the news to the officers and soldiers. He is only the chief of staff of the expeditionary force, and when Yang Yi returns, he is not in charge. There were no officers to ask Lin Feng, after all, Yang Yi and Lin Feng had just come here, and they would definitely need to spend some time to understand the situation. Only after mastering the situation on the battlefield will Yang Yi make a decision. Even if Yang Yi is the commander, he can't make decisions casually.
When Yang Yi returned, Yuyang was with the senior officers of the various legions, preparing for the next propaganda.
"How?"
"The situation is not as ideal as we imagined, and it is even worse than what Lao Shen said." Lin Feng sighed secretly before he said, "Although the fighting spirit of the main officers of each regiment is still very strong, and the morale is not very bad, the situation of the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level is definitely not so ideal. At the beginning, some of the officers asked me why I was fighting here instead of leaving this hellish place. Obviously, Yuyang greeted the senior officers and asked them to pay attention to their words, but it was clear that many officers and soldiers had doubts about this war, or did not know the purpose of this war. If you don't know why you want to fight the enemy here, why you want to shed blood and die here, even if they obey the order and fight with us, they may not do their best. ”
Yang Yi frowned, nodded thoughtfully, and seriously thought about the question Lin Feng mentioned.
"Of course, I have already mentioned to them that the Galactic Alliance has established an Alliance Expeditionary Force, and you have been appointed as the commander-in-chief, and you will be fully responsible for the combat operations of the expedition to the North Alpha Galaxy, including several top civilizations, and all the civilizations of the Galactic Alliance will send troops to the war. It's just that I didn't mention what happened in the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, or when the Union Expeditionary Force would arrive. ”
Yang Yi was slightly stunned and looked at Lin Feng.
"Now, what you need is a hope, knowing that you are not fighting the enemy alone. As long as there are reinforcements, and the reinforcements will come one day in the future, the officers and men will have the fighting spirit to persevere. If we let everyone know that we have no way out, even if the Galactic Alliance forms an expeditionary force, it will not be able to arrive in time, and we can only face a powerful enemy alone, which will inevitably have a devastating blow to morale. ”
"Unfortunately, we won't be able to hide it for long."
"Better than ......"
"According to the previous arrangement of the Yu family, a fleet will be sent every half a month to send supplies, weapons and equipment to the expeditionary force. That is to say, after half a month, the officers and men will find out the problem, and they will know that we have concealed the truth, even if it is just an unfounded speculation, and after planting the seeds of distrust, how can we make the officers and men of the two hundred regiments believe us and follow us to fight the enemy? ”
Lin Feng sighed and said, "At that time, I didn't think about it so much, I just felt that telling everyone now would definitely have an impact on morale. ”
Yang Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood Lin Feng's difficulties.
"How's the Dragon Empress?"
"Almost, just as bad, it's just that the problem has been solved. She has gathered the chiefs of all races and reorganized the legions. ”
"You promised?"
Yang Yi nodded and said, "Our forces are seriously insufficient, let alone regaining the lost star system, even if we hold the current star system, we can't do it." We need more troops, and with reinforcements out of our reach, the only one we can rely on is the Silicon Legion under the Dragon Empress. ”
"But......" Lin Feng hesitated a little before saying, "Before making a decision, you should discuss it with Yuyang and them." ”
"I am the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force."
Lin Feng sighed secretly, and didn't know what to say.
"I'll take care of this matter, but we don't have a choice when it comes to forming the Silicon Legion and getting the Silicon Legion into battle." Yang Yi sighed and said, "As you said at the beginning, the problem now is that the soldiers of the expeditionary force don't know why they are fighting the enemy here, and they have lost the goal of bloody battle. However, this is a long-term problem that cannot be solved in the short term. The top priority at the moment is to raise morale and convince officers and men that we are capable of defeating the enemy. It's clear that we need a win, and a huge win. After winning this battle, after the morale has been boosted, we will think about and solve other problems. ”
Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"From Yuyang down, the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force no longer believe in the Dragon God Empress, thinking that the Silicon Charm Legion has dragged its feet, and even has been betrayed by the Silicon Charm Legion. If we don't rebuild the necessary trust, we'll be left alone, and there's no reason to stay here. This problem must be resolved as soon as possible, and the most effective way to do so is for the Dragon Empress to command the Silicon Legion to fight a big victory. ”
"This ......"
"Of course, it's not just the Dragon Empress, it's us. To put it simply, in this way, let the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force know that the Silicon Charm Legion under the command of the Dragon Empress, under the command of the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, defeated a powerful enemy, so as to make the officers of the expeditionary force believe that I am the supreme commander. ”
Lin Feng pondered for a while before he said, "If you personally command the Silicon Charm Legion and directly command the battle, you can't exclude the expeditionary force, and even count the Weaver Clan Legion. The point is that the suspicion of the Expeditionary Force and the Weaver Legion about the Silicon Phantom Legion is related to the previous battle. It's just that the Silicon Charm Legion can launch a counterattack alone, without the assistance of the Expeditionary Force and the Weaver Legion, the effect will not be too obvious. ”
Yang Yi nodded slightly and said, "These are all easy to say, but the question now is when and where to launch a counterattack." ”
"Obviously, you have to ask Yuyang."
"Okay, let's go find him."
"No, he'll come to us after the officers are arranged."
Yang Yi nodded and said, "The Dragon God Empress is in a very bad mood, although I didn't believe the inquiry, but I feel that she has doubts about her ability. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It is very likely that those betrayed Silicon Phantom Legions were influenced by the Phantom Ghost Emperor, and the Dragon God Empress knew this, so she believed that her influence was not as strong as that of the Phantom Ghost Emperor." Yang Yi sighed and said, "Although after we came back, she regained her confidence. It's just that we can't always be by her side, and we can't always be her protector. Even if her current strength and influence are indeed inferior to the Phantom Ghost Emperor, if she doesn't even have the confidence to surpass the Phantom Ghost Emperor, then sooner or later, she will encounter the same problem again. In fact, it was after considering this problem that I felt that it was up to her to regain her self-confidence through this counterattack. ”
"This ......"
"To put it simply, I'm afraid we'll have to prepare to fight the Phantom Ghost Emperor."
Lin Feng frowned, thought for a while, and then said, "Although with your current strength, it is not difficult to defeat the Phantom Ghost Emperor. The problem is, the Phantom Ghost Emperor may not be able to duel you. Besides, it's the Dragon God Empress who needs to regain her confidence, and it obviously doesn't make much sense for you to defeat the Phantom Ghost Emperor. If the Phantom Ghost Emperor realizes this, he will definitely take advantage of it, which will adversely affect the entire counterattack operation, and may even lead to the failure of the counterattack. ”
Yang Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Lin Feng meant.
"Obviously, we have to make trade-offs." Lin Feng sighed and said, "We're back, there shouldn't be any big problems on the Dragon God Empress's side." It is imperative that we win a battle, not only to boost the morale of the army, but also to change the situation that is unfavorable to us. As for whether he will encounter the Phantom Ghost Emperor and whether he can defeat the Phantom Ghost Emperor, it is actually a secondary issue, at least it cannot be regarded as the main purpose of the counterattack. ”
Yang Yi thought for a while before he said, "You're right, I'm thinking too much. You can only take it step by step, and you can't blindly win. ”
"Of course, it would be great if the Phantom Ghost Emperor didn't have long eyes, or thought that he could end this war by killing us."
Yang Yi smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
At this time, Yuyang rushed over.
Seeing Yang Yi, he just nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting. It's just that he brought a message and asked Yang Yi to quickly contact the rear. It's not just Yu Linglong who is looking for Yang Yi, but also Yu Tianba. Because it was very urgent, Yuyang didn't dare to delay. As for why he was looking for him, Yuyang didn't mention it, and Yang Yi didn't ask much. If it wasn't a particularly important matter, Yu Linglong wouldn't be in a hurry to find him, nor would she alarm Yu Tianba. Of course, Yang Yi had already guessed that it must be related to the situation of the Human Federation after the route was cut off. It can be said that even if there is turmoil in the rear, Yang Yi will not be surprised, because this has long been expected by him.
After asking Lin Feng to discuss the counterattack with Yuyang, Yang Yi went to the communication center.
Although the route has been cut off, the communication line based on quantum technology has not been affected, and it is still able to communicate with the rear in real time. (To be continued.) )
