After discussing with Shen Chengwen, Yang Yi went to find Yu Linglong again and inquired in detail.

After Yang Yi and the others left, the Human Federation carried out war mobilization step by step, no one thought that the advance speed of the Silicon Charm army was so fast, and no one could have imagined that the seemingly impregnable Greenwich Defense Line would be breached, and when all this happened, it was too late to wake up.

How the Greenwich line was breached, Yu Linglong is not very clear.

In her words, by the time the news spread, several colonial systems close to the Greenwich Meteorite Belt had fallen, the shipping routes from the Greenwich Line to the home system had been blocked, and several of the garrisons deployed on the Greenwich Line had lost contact with the rear, including the Third Theater. At the moment of the Great Enemy, terror spreads like a plague, and the inhabitants of various colonial systems flock to their home system.

As you can imagine, unrest broke out everywhere.

Fortunately, the situation did not get out of control.

Although mobilization for war is not yet in full swing, all nine theaters have formed mobile units based on mobilized reservists, and most of them are stationed in home systems. These newly formed units did not play a role in the battle to defend the Greenwich Line, but they played a vital role in maintaining order. It is precisely because of these forces that the situation in the Human Federation has not gotten out of control.

In addition, the federal authorities also contributed to it.

It took only one day for the usual bureaucratic federal officials to pass the "wartime resolution", and then the Bundestag passed a proposal to enter a state of war. In other words, the federal authorities handed over power to the military department, and the first order from the military department was to conduct wartime control. Immediately afterwards, the mobile troops sent by each theater arrived at the colonial system that had not yet fallen and began to carry out strategic evacuation. With the assistance of the Mobile Unit. Residents of the various colonial systems have traveled to their home systems, and a large number of adults have joined the military on orders issued by the military headquarters. By the time Jade Linglong left the Bone Star, a full-scale war mobilization had already been launched in various places, and thousands of adults had put on military uniforms.

Of course, it's not just people who are mobilized.

All private enterprises in the Federation, including the Yu family, must be subject to the dispatch and arrangement of the Ministry of War. All cargo ships were called up by the military department.

It's just that it will take some time to complete the mobilization for war.

Because the standing forces were limited, and the main forces of each theater were deployed on the Greenwich Line, and after the defense line was divided by the enemy, it was equivalent to losing these forces, so while the war mobilization was carried out, the various theaters began to shrink the defense area and began to deploy new defense lines.

To put it simply, the Confederation of Humans abandoned the Greenwich Line.

The question is. The home galaxy is just too close to the Greenwich Meteorite Belt.

It can be said that the Federation of Humanity has nowhere to retreat.

For thousands of years, in past wars, the Greenwich Line has been both the first and last line of defense for the Human Federation.

To put it bluntly, there is nowhere to defend between the Greenwich Meteorite Belt and the home galaxy.

Abandoning the Greenwich Line, the Human Legion can only retreat to its home system, and the next thing to do is the battle to defend it.

Apparently. Time is running out for the Federation of Humans.

Although the surrounding colonial galaxies stopped the advance of the Silicon Army, and the Silicon Army only broke through the Greenwich Line. If you don't completely occupy the Greenwich Line, let alone wipe out all the garrisons on it, you have to leave enough troops to sweep the Greenwich Line and eliminate worries, so the forces that can be used to attack, especially the home system, will be very limited. But for the Federation of Humans. Obviously, one cannot pin one's hopes on the enemy. Because there is almost no defense, as long as there are enough troops, the Silicon Phantom army may appear outside the home galaxy at any time, so the Human Federation is facing a dangerous situation of fighting against the water.

By the time Jade Linglong left the Bone Burial Star, the home system had already been attacked.

Although, in her words. The Silicon Charm fleet attacking the home system is not very strong, and it was stopped by the combined fleets of the three major theaters before approaching the home system, and was finally defeated, but as the Silicon Charm army swept the Greenwich Line and captured the neighboring colonial system, it was only a matter of time before they entered the home system. Because the previous combat preparations were not in place, it was difficult for the Human Federation to hold the nearby colonial system.

In fact, the home galaxy is already surrounded.

It is precisely because of this that Yu Linglong started the "Tianyang" and came here by mistake.

"In addition, I received a message. The federal authorities and the Ministry of War have alerted all civilizations in the Northern Region and, in accordance with the relevant regulations of the Alliance, have requested their support from these civilizations. Of course, whether there is a result or not, I'm afraid no one can say for sure, after all, there are few advanced civilizations in the northern region. As for counting on the Galactic Alliance to send troops, it is even more out of reach. All we can count on now is to be able to hold on for a little longer. ”

Yang Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Yu Linglong meant.

"I'm afraid, I won't have that good luck this time."

When Shen Cheng heard this, everyone looked at him.

"Don't say that the current Human Federation doesn't have a commander like Generalissimo Xiao Wentian, even if there is, I'm afraid it won't be able to return to the sky." Shen Chengwen sighed and said, "The key is that the current human legion is not the human legion of a thousand years ago, and the peace lasted too long, making too many people forget the threat, and too many people let down their guard. Perhaps until now, there are still many people who do not believe that war has broken out. ”

"That's true." Jackson sighed as well. "Even if the war mobilization is completed, the human legion may not be able to stop the Silicon Charm army."

"What do you mean?" Yang Yi asked Jackson.

"If there are not enough and sufficiently advanced weapons and equipment, it is useless to mobilize more soldiers."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and his brows immediately locked together.

Obviously, in Jackson's words.

The real problem is not that the enemy is too strong, but that peace has lasted too long.

Over the past few thousand years, there have been five Greenwich wars, five full-scale wars in less than four thousand years to be exact, with an interval of about five hundred years and never more than a thousand years. Because the threat is always present and there has never been true peace, for thousands of years, the Human Federation has been preparing for war all the time, and even in peacetime, the Human Federation is in a semi-wartime state.

The problem is that after the Fifth Greenwich War, peace flourished for a thousand years!

Although the Human Federation has been promoted to a sixth-class civilization and has become the master of the North Fourth District, and its military strength has been improved, on the contrary, the jurisdiction of the Human Federation has increased by hundreds of times. As a result, the Human Federation and others defended a hundredfold number of jurisdictions with ten times the original force.

What's more, the Human Federation has taken over the task of guarding the entire Greenwich Line.

This means that the density of troops in the human federation has dropped to one-tenth of what it was before the Fifth Greenwich War, and the density of forces on the Greenwich Line has dropped by two-thirds. Not to mention Zhan Ruilin and other nine marshals, even Yang Yi, a small soldier, can see the problem.

In fact, this is also a difficult problem for all federal soldiers for thousands of years.

Of course, for thousands of years, in order to solve this problem, the Human Federation has made unremitting efforts.

Initially, people pinned their hopes on the Galactic Alliance, hoping to get more support, if only morally, from the Galactic Alliance. To put it bluntly, as long as the Galactic Federation Council relaxes its control over the Human Federation, even if it is only as a special case, giving the Human Federation the privilege of expanding its military strength, and allowing the Human Federation to have more standing troops, it will be able to fundamentally resolve this problem.

The Federation of Mankind does not lack soldiers, what it lacks is the power to expand the size of the army.

Unfortunately, in the opposition of more than half of the parliamentarians, the reasonable demands put forward by the Human Federation were rejected by the Galactic Federation Council.

Since then, the Human Federation has turned to the Hidden Spirits for help.

If the size of the army cannot be expanded, then improving the combat effectiveness of the army will become the only option, and improving the combat effectiveness requires sufficiently advanced weapons and equipment, as well as corresponding science and technology.

At the time, many people believed that the Hidden Spirits would help the Human Federation.

The Hidden Spirit Clan did agree to the request of the Human Federation and provided some advanced technology, but the combat effectiveness of the Human Legion did not improve much.

The point is, the Hidden Spirits are not providing the most advanced technology, nor is it the most needed technology for the Human Federation.

After the path of expanding military strength is blocked, the Human Federation can only retreat to the next best thing and make a fuss about military deployment, that is, to improve the efficiency of the use of military force.

It can be said that this is the cause of all this now.

In order to make full and effective use of its limited military strength, the Human Federation had to adopt a theater system, dividing its jurisdiction into nine regions, which were garrisoned by nine theaters. Although these zones are under the unified administration of the federal authorities, in wartime, the nine theaters have a high degree of independence. Similarly, the Greenwich Line, which was originally a monolithic unit, was divided into nine sections, each of which was garrisoned by troops from each of the nine theaters. This implicates more problems, such as the independent logistics support system of the nine theaters and the infrastructure needed to maintain this system. The most fatal thing is that the nine theaters are divided together, and it is difficult to coordinate in wartime, let alone in peacetime.

Because the federal authorities determine the military budgets for the nine theaters based on the deployment of troops on the Greenwich Line, in peacetime, almost all of the standing forces in the nine theaters are deployed on the Greenwich Line, and only a very small number of troops remain in the rear as reserves.

This means that the Greenwich Line is everything in the Federation of Humans.

To put it bluntly, if the Greenwich Line is lost, the home galaxy will be directly exposed to the enemy, and the Human Federation will have to fight with its back.

Although many people understand that there is a very serious problem with this kind of forward deployment of troops, it is the general trend, and no one disputes this.

When the problem is exposed, it is obviously too late to figure out a solution. (To be continued......)
