The reconquest of the colonized galaxy is going well, and not just in the Third War Zone.

In just a few days, nine theaters of operations have successively issued good news. Since the military headquarters did not make a decision on the dispatch of troops, the nine theaters explicitly mentioned that the regiments they sent had regained lost territory with the assistance of local civil resistance groups, and that the contribution of civil resistance groups was even more significant. In this way, the civil resistance groups became the heroes of the reconquista, and the nine theaters only provided support.

Although this has allowed civil resistance groups to steal the limelight, it is still the nine theaters that control the overall situation.

However, not all operations in colonizing the galaxy have been smooth sailing.

In addition to the third theater, several other theaters also encountered accidents, and the situation was the same, the fleet sent out did not reach its destination, and the whereabouts of the legions carried by the fleet were also unknown. What's more, the fleets that had the accident were all sent to colonial systems in other theater jurisdictions.

In other words, all nine theaters believe that other theaters are playing ghosts.

What's even worse is that the commanders of the nine theaters are not very clear about what is going on outside.

Although the colonial systems of the Human Federation fell one after another soon after the start of the war, and the nine theaters lost contact with the colonial systems in their jurisdictions before they had time to complete the deployment adjustments, don't forget that in each colonial galaxy there are garrisons subordinate to the war zone. The main job of these units in peacetime is to maintain order in the colonial system, which is equivalent to the police, and in times of war, they are responsible for guarding the colonial system.

According to military regulations, the garrison of the colonial system must live and die with the garrison.

In other words, unless ordered to do so by a higher command authority, the garrisons of each colonial system must fight the enemy until the last moment. From the commander of the garrison to the most junior soldiers, let alone fleeing from the station, even if it is just leaving the post without authorization, it is guilty of treason.

Because the military headquarters and the nine theaters failed to adjust their deployment in time. So when the various colonial systems fell, most of the local garrisons remained. Although some must have fled out of fear of death, most of the officers and men of the garrison stayed behind to resist the invading enemy.

Not just one or a few colonial systems, but almost all colonial systems have resistance groups led by garrisons and dominated by garrison officers and soldiers. Because it is impossible to get in touch with the home system. As a result, many of the officers and men of the garrison have been converted into civilian armed personnel. As a result, the civilian resistance groups in each colonial galaxy are inextricably linked to the garrison, and after the reinforcements arrive, most of these resistance groups will smoothly return to their respective theaters of operations and accept the leadership of the theater command, and then they will be reorganized into combat units under the theater. It is precisely because of this that the various theaters of war have given the main credit for the recovery of the colonial galaxy to the local civil resistance groups.

In fact, this is the problem.

Before the Silicon Charm army retreated, it was impossible to get in touch with the military department, federal authorities, and theater command. Therefore, the garrisons of each colonial system can only fight on their own. In order to resist the powerful enemy, the surviving officers and soldiers of the garrison had to act in conjunction with the local civilian forces and mobilize civilian personnel to join the resistance. What's more, they didn't know what was going on outside, so they didn't know that the enemy had begun to retreat. In other words, if they encounter an army of unknown origin, such as a legion in another theater, they may not take it as reinforcements. Furthermore. At the heart of these civilian resistance groups are the officers and men of the garrison, who owe allegiance only to their war zone. In the event of encountering armies from other theaters of operations. And realizing that these armies are not here to help, but to occupy their colonial system, conflict is inevitable. What's worse is that because of the inability to communicate smoothly, it is very likely that the situation will get out of control.

That is, none of the nine theater commanders could be sure that it was not the garrisons of their own theater that attacked the corps of the other theaters.

Of course. Even if they knew, they wouldn't admit it.

Actually, it wasn't the most important thing at the time.

Although in just a few days, all nine theaters have regained some colonial systems, and have also "helped" other theaters to regain some lost territory. However, there are still a large number of colonial galaxies in the hands of the enemy, and these colonial galaxies could be destroyed at any time. Even if these colonial galaxies are not very important, no one dares to deny their significance to the Human Federation, after all, these colonial galaxies are the home of the Human Federation. Without these colonial galaxies, even if the Human Federation still exists, it will not be as powerful as it used to be. If you think a little longer, then the survival of these colonial galaxies will even determine the status of the Human Federation in the Galactic Alliance.

If even the colonial galaxies in the jurisdiction can't be saved, what else can the Human Federation hope for?

The reconquista has only just begun, and it is far from over. It's just that after the nine theaters have successively taken control of those colonial galaxies with great strategic value, it is no longer difficult for the military department to take unified action to recover those colonial galaxies that are still occupied by the enemy.

To put it bluntly, the nine theaters of operations have not been able to agree on the issue of sending troops before, and it is on this point. Now that those major colonial galaxies have been controlled, it can be said that the dust has settled, and the operation of the Human Federation to send troops to regain the lost territory has begun, and the Silicon Phantom army will definitely take action, and will not give the Human Legion more time. Since most of the rest are some inconsequential colonial galaxies, it is not only more efficient for the military department to organize the nine theaters to take action, but also to give a satisfactory explanation to the people. As for how to divide the jurisdiction of these colonial systems, it is not a problem, at least the nine theater commanders will not fight over these inconsequential colonial systems. If you lose the support of the people because of this, even if you win a few colonial systems, it will not be worth the loss.

Since it is organized and commanded by the military department in a unified manner, it is necessary to draw up a detailed plan, and it is even more necessary to gather the corps and transport ships in various theaters together. It will take a lot of time, and even if the military headquarters is very efficient in wartime, it is impossible to send the corps out in a short time.

Since then, good news has been sent back every day.

For the Human Federation, or indeed for the colonists who have taken refuge in their home system, it seems that a return to their home is just around the corner.

For these refugees from the colonial galaxy, every day of waiting is an ordeal.

It has to be said that there is indeed a problem with the military department.

This time, it is not the nine theaters that are dragging their feet, but the problem of the military department itself. After the commanders of the nine theaters have stated that they will unconditionally support the operation to recover other colonial systems, the military department has not come up with a feasible battle plan for a long time, and does not even have a basic idea.

Actually, the military department can't be blamed for this.

Since its establishment, the military department has never held real power. For the past 1,000 years, the military power of the Human Federation has always been in the hands of nine theaters. In other words, for the past 1,000 years, the military headquarters was just an ornament, not only did it not have the power to command and mobilize the army, but it was also not the turn of the military department to draw up operational plans. As a result, the military department not only has no experience in drawing up operational plans, but also does not have the talent to do so.

Of course, people don't know about this and don't care.

All of a sudden, the people's spearheads were all aimed at the military headquarters. The reason why the nine theaters have already completed their preparations and mobilized the corps in their hands and have not sent out the corps for a long time is because the military headquarters has not come up with feasible plans and programs, and it is the military headquarters that has dragged the nine theaters back.

Clearly, the population has overlooked one of the most critical issues.

In addition to the lack of efficiency of the military department, the main problem at that time was that the nine theaters of operations could provide too few corps, and the combat effectiveness was very weak. Don't forget, before that, the nine theaters had already sent all the most powerful legions out. To put it bluntly, even if the efficiency of the military department is improved, there is no usability, and it is a strong enough corps, it will not be able to come up with a feasible battle plan.

Of course, in the eyes of discerning people, this is actually the nine theaters that have led the people's reproach to the military department.

It can be said that this trick is very clever. Don't forget, until then, the populace had been targeting the nine theaters, especially after the three colonial systems were destroyed by the Silicon Charm army, and almost everyone thought it was the result of the inaction of the nine theaters and the fact that they were tilting against each other. Although the status of the nine theaters in the minds of the people has improved through subsequent actions, the people will not easily forget the past. Only by creating a new contradiction will the people forget what the nine war zones have done, and will also regard the nine war zones as saviors, especially for those refugees from the colonial galaxy. Obviously, this will be helpful for the nine theaters to continue to master the colonial galaxy.

To put it simply, nine theaters are using this method to redraw spheres of influence.

It can be said that as long as the people are extremely disappointed with the military department, they will inevitably pin their hopes on the nine theaters. Because it is a time of war, and the military department and the federal authorities are one, disappointment with the military department is equivalent to disappointment with the federal authorities. After this situation is formed, even if the war ends, the authority of the federal authorities in the colonial system will be lost, and the nine theaters will become the de facto rulers of the colonial system.

Because they can all benefit from this, the commanders of the nine theaters are naturally happy to see it happen.

The inaction of the military department has already fermented the anger of the people, but to ignite the anger of the people, a spark is needed.

Of course, as long as this situation is maintained, this Mars will appear.

To put it simply, as long as there are a few colonial galaxies, even one of them being destroyed by the Silicon Phantom army because the military department did not send troops in time, the anger of the people will explode. At that time, even if all other colonial systems are recovered, the prestige of the military department will be lost.

For the nine theaters, all that is to wait and calm things down when that moment comes.

It must be admitted that the commanders of the nine theaters, including Zhan Ruilin, are indeed scheming and calculating, and their attitudes toward this matter are unprecedentedly unanimous.

It's just that they missed one factor.

Although the military department has long issued the "all-out anti-Japanese war order", although it has not shaken the orthodox status of the military headquarters and the theater, it is no longer the military that has the right to come forward to recover the lost territory, but everyone. The fact that the military department does not act, and the nine theaters are happy to see it, does not mean that the others are the same. (To be continued.) )
