The debriefing is a trivial matter, and before leaving Beacon Mars, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to write a combat report. Although according to the regulations, after examining the operational report submitted by Yang Yi, the military department will arrange special personnel to ask Yang Yi about some issues that have not been clarified, but this time it did not make such trouble, and after receiving the operational report submitted by Yang Yi, the military department issued the relevant documents, and the debriefing ended here.

Scheduling new tasks is actually a trivial matter.

Yang Yi only stayed in the military department for less than an hour before he got the mission book. As he expected, the new mission was to command his legions to the Greenwich Line to assist the Weaver reinforcements in launching a strategic counterattack, and all matters related to the battle were decided by Yang Yi himself. The most important part of this mission is the clear definition of Yang Yi's terms of reference, or more precisely the area of action. To put it simply, Yang Yi can only operate in the area where the Greenwich Line is located, and the legions under his command cannot go to other regions without permission, including the colonial system where these legions are located. As for fighting in the Northern Alpha system opposite the Greenwich Line, it is not within the scope of the restrictions.

Of course, there is nothing surprising about this.

A thousand years ago, when Xiao Wentian stepped forward, the federal authorities, while appointing him as the general of the unified army, also defined the scope of his mission, that is, he could only operate near the beacon star, and if he needed to go to other areas, he had to declare in advance and obtain approval from the federal authorities.

After completing the relevant procedures, Yang Yi did not delay.

When he came out of the headquarters building of the military department, he met Lin Liexun, who was already waiting outside.

"To the spaceport? Let's go, I'll give you a ride. ”

Yang Yi did not refuse, knowing that Lin Liexun came specifically to find him.

After getting into the car, Lin Liexun said: "I have submitted a transfer report to the military headquarters and the theater command, as expected. I will also lead the army. ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and looked at Lin Liexun incomprehensibly.

"While most of the colonized systems have been recovered, there are still some remnants of enemies in the North 4. In addition, according to the meaning of the military department, we will not abandon the Greenwich Line because of the existence of the Weavers. In other words, an army needs to be sent to sweep away the remnants of the enemy in the North 4th District. and control of key areas of the Greenwich Line. Even if I hadn't applied for it, the military department would have sent other generals to the expedition at that time. ”

"Seventh Uncle......

"It's not for you, it's for Xiaofeng."

Yang Yi sighed secretly and didn't say anything.

"Actually, the first time I saw you, I knew you weren't a thing of the pool. I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Lin Liexun sighed and said, "I didn't mean to blame you. Because I know those people better than you do. I'm not asking you, I'm just hoping that you'll put the interests of the Commonwealth first. We are all federal soldiers, and our duty is to defend the entire Human Federation. Many times, we have to face a dilemma, but as soldiers, we have no turning back. I believe that the man that Xiaofeng likes will definitely not be far behind. Just hope. When that day comes, your relationship with Xiaofeng will not be affected. ”

"Uncle Seven. I have nothing to guarantee, no matter what happens in the future, I will not let Xiaofeng be wronged. ”

Lin Liexun nodded slightly and said, "I believe in your assurance, but I also hope you can understand that the eldest husband should do what he does." Don't be held back by your children's feelings. ”

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I've said everything I have to say. It's not goodbye, maybe it won't be long before we meet again. Lin Liexun smiled faintly. said, "I believe that at that time, you will impress me and prove that I didn't see the wrong person, and Xiaofeng didn't choose the wrong person." ”

Yang Yi also smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.

After a short time, the two arrived at the ground transportation station of the spaceport.

Lin Feng was already waiting here, as well as Shen Chengwen and a group of officers and soldiers of the special investigation team.

Although Yang Yi did not take the initiative to propose it, after he was promoted to major general, Zhan Ruilin handed over the special investigation team to him on the grounds that Yang Yi had just been promoted and needed a group of capable subordinates, and then asked Lin Xiaoting to disband the special investigation team. In other words, Shen Cheng heard that they all became Yang Yi's subordinates. Because he has not been idle, Yang Yi has not made adjustments to the special investigation team, and still retains the previous establishment. The only difference is that Lin Feng is no longer the captain and is replaced by Shen Chengwen. As for the squadron leader and squad leader below, they were all arranged by Shen Chengwen, and Yang Yi didn't ask. In fact, under Yang Yi, only Shen Chengwen and other hundreds of officers and soldiers of the special investigation team are regular soldiers.

Seeing Yang Yi, Lin Feng didn't say anything, and Shen Chengwen also remained silent.

Without saying a word all the way, everyone took a traffic car to the space station and boarded the battleship "Victory".

This is an S-class battleship and Yang Yi's flagship, although it is a bit old, but its combat effectiveness is not bad. According to relevant regulations, after Yang Yi was promoted to major general, he obtained the qualification to own a flagship. In a sense, it's also a status symbol.

It must be admitted that Zhan Ruilin is very generous.

You know, the commander's flagship of the 3rd theater of operations is only an SS-class battleship, and according to convention, only a lieutenant general is eligible for an S-class battleship. Yang Yi is a rear admiral, and his counterpart is an AAA-class battleship. Besides, the fleet of the Human Federation was not very strong in the first place, with only ten SSS-class warships in total, while the third theater had less than a hundred S-class warships, and after the previous battles, there were less than fifty that could be used normally.

It's just that Yang Yi didn't take this battleship seriously.

When the "Victory" left the spaceport and flew to the space node under the guidance of two small warships, Yang Yi called Lin Feng and Shen Chengwen over.

After returning to his home galaxy, Yang Yi never had time to meet with Shen Chengwen.

Lin Feng said it well, but Shen Chengwen was not quite the same. When he was at the traffic station, Yang Yi noticed that Shen Chengwen was not as casual as before, and he was a little restrained.

"Old Shen, I'm dragging you again."

Shen Chengwen smiled reluctantly and didn't say anything.

"Actually, it's just an epaulettes." Yang Yi sighed and said, "No matter what, we are brothers, comrades-in-arms who have faced the test of life and death together. If you think that because I was promoted and became a major general, our relationship would change, then I can take off this uniform. ”

"General......

"Old Shen, I'm not happy if you call me that." Yang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "On the battlefield, the enemy won't take special care of me because of my rank, so I hope you do the same." Like I said at the beginning, we are brothers and nothing will change. ”

Shen Chengwen nodded and didn't say anything.

"Okay, I'm not going to be verbose." Yang Yi sighed secretly, knowing that just a few words couldn't change anything. "The main mission of this expedition is to assist the Weaver reinforcements in launching a counterattack, and our area of operation is the Greenwich Line. If it goes well, we will be able to quickly take control of the entire Greenwich Line, but the operation will not end there, and our aim is to cross the Greenwich Line and enter the North Alpha System, and we will have to do it before other civilizations can send troops. To put it simply, we were able to push the front to enemy territory as quickly as possible. As for what to do next and how to fight, it is not on our radar for the time being. ”

"Just to help the Weavers?" Lin Feng was the first to ask.

"Nominally, it is to assist the Weavers, but in fact, we are the main force, to be precise, the Weavers assist us."

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, looking extremely surprised.

"Rely on our forces to march into the Northern Alpha System?" Shen Chengwen was also shocked, staring at Yang Yi with a look of complete disbelief.

"What, no faith?"

"It's not a question of faith. How many legions do we have? Not to mention the small amount of troops we have, even if all nine theaters are dispatched, we may not be able to cross the Greenwich meteorite belt, let alone gain a firm foothold in the North Alpha system. At the beginning, we launched a strategic counterattack, and when we attacked the Northern Alpha system, we could say that we had a strong lineup, and we also had the support of almost all top civilizations. The result? In the battle of 'Dawn of Peace', we lost our troops. If it weren't for the loss of confidence and fighting spirit of the Silicon Alliance to win, I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable. We are in a much more precarious position now than we were a millennium ago. With the little strength we have, let alone winning, it would be good to be able to protect ourselves. ”

Shen Chengwen finished speaking in one breath, and Lin Feng also nodded slightly on the side, expressing his agreement with Shen Chengwen's point of view.

"I'm talking about marching into the Northern Alpha system, not winning."

"What's the difference?"

Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Our task is only to advance the battle line to the Northern Alpha System, and not give the Silicon Charm Alliance a chance to breathe." ”

Shen Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then tightened his brows.

"Of course, another purpose of this move is to keep this war going on, to let everyone know that the war didn't end with the retreat of the Silicon Charm army, and it won't end there. Only in this way can more troops be mobilized and it will be possible to achieve a final victory. ”

"But ......"

"Old Shen, you are an understanding person. After returning to the home system, don't you think that after the retreat of the Silicon Charm army, many people thought that the war was over, and therefore began to fantasize about peace, thinking that it would not be long before we could sign a truce with the Silicon Alliance again, as we did thousands of years ago. So in your opinion, if such a trend of thought spreads, will we get peace, or destruction? ”

At this moment, Shen Chengwen fell silent.

Yang Yi didn't say much, Shen Chengwen is a smart person, it's enough to point to the end.

"The problem is that we have so few troops. Even with the support of many colonial systems, there will be no more than five hundred legions that can be mobilized. ”

"There are not so many, at most two hundred, and most of them lack actual combat experience, and the only ones who can really rely on are the dozens of legions that participated in the battle of Beacon Mars."

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but sigh.

Actually, none of this is a problem. For us, we need to first understand the current situation, figure out what to do and what can be done. ”

As soon as Yang Yi said this, Lin Feng and Shen Chengwen both smiled bitterly. (To be continued.) )
