Chapter 196: The Chess of Change
The light penetrates the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the Prime Minister's residence, illuminating the rain outside the building as clearly as a silver thread.
The Secret Service agents in black suits stared at the movements around them with grim expressions like falcons, they only knew that an earth-shattering event had just happened in the Ludao Federation, but they didn't know what was going on behind the matter of Ludao, what it was related to, and which big people were deeply involved.
The staff in the official residence can no longer leisurely hold Massam coffee like those familiar nights, eliminate the fatigue after busy overtime work, and occasionally joke with the kind and gentle Prime Minister Cameron.
At this moment, they can only stay quietly and nervously in their respective offices, anxious and anxious waiting for the upcoming assignment and work.
On this rainy night, this kind of bad thing happened again, and no one was in the mood to care about those petty bourgeoisie.
Prime Minister Cameron is unlikely to continue to joke as usual, he is in a bad mood right now.
Syllable.
The sound of porcelain breaking to the ground and a curse could be heard in the distance!
"Can anyone tell me! What the hell is going on here! Suberyon's whereabouts are as good as the enemy's grasp! â
Prime Minister Cameron, who officially returned to his official residence from the House of Lords, could no longer maintain his demeanor in front of the media at the moment, like an angry white bear, angrily yelling at the members of parliament and his subordinates.
His white face was flushed with unquenchable anger at the moment, but after all, no one could answer the angry questions of the Prime Minister.
Because no one, including Mr. Prime Minister, could have predicted this tragedy, from the attack on Suborion to its fall. and then the Imperial Army's blitzkrieg on Sugaku, everything came too fast and too hidden. No one had received a hint of it beforehand.
This fact made everyone present feel extremely cold, because it showed that there was a large force buried within the Federation that had been infiltrated by the Empire, or that had cooperated with the Empire.
on this. One of them, Xu Changqing, the commander of the Giant Devouring Expeditionary Force, who was projected here through an interstellar transfer, could only express his silence.
In the same way, no one has the right to question him. The intelligence sent from the front line did not show any trace of the Imperial fleet passing through the Canglan defensive line.
This only proves another irritating and worrying fact, the Empire has indeed mastered a passage through the small nova belt of the Blackstone Star Zone, and with the Federation's military strength in the Blackstone Star Zone, it is impossible to complete the deployment of it in a short period of time.
This will mean that Canglan Star will no longer be able to become a barrier against Blackstone in the future, and Suyue Star, which is its logistical strength, will directly face the ravages of the Imperial Army.
The most pressing question facing the federal government at this moment is precisely how to solve the dead knot in front of it.
There was a dead silence in the office of the official residence. Prime Minister Cameron frowned, pursed his lips, and slammed the table twice as hard as if venting, then sighed deeply and fell silent.
After a long time, Prime Minister Cameron regained a trace of calm, slowly fastened the buttons, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Okay, I'm a little out of shape." Now the question is. Have the Imperials really begun to plan to attack Sugaku? â
"It's very likely."
Defense Minister Yang Siqin's face was a little tired, and he replied in a deep voice: "However, the counterattack blow before the fall of the Suberyon also caused heavy losses to the Imperials, and the three light advance ships were forced to land on the Suyue Star together, although there was no ground strike in space orbit for the time being. However, I think they will still use the strength at hand to quickly occupy several important military-industrial and strategic places on Sugaku, such as Ruther, Saipan, and Akama, as a forward base. First, they can disperse the pressure on the battlefield, and second, if they succeed in piercing the nail in Suyue. Then Sugaku Star will become a logistics base for the Imperials. â
"I think this ambush plan of the Imperials was also improvized. It's like we sent the kids from Yuechi to the front line for military training, so they didn't choose to go all out and send all their strength together. â
Xu Changqing's voice was a little blurred because of the signal. However, all the people present were human spirits, and he only mentioned it slightly, and everyone already understood.
"However, the current situation must be within their psychological tolerance, and they will definitely add weight. If I'm not mistaken, at this time, I'm afraid that a fleet is rushing to Sugaku Star as fast as possible through the new passage they have opened, and there must be a feather-class battleship loaded with Loic particle orbital guns and at least 30,000 group troops, and according to their speed, I expect this time to be about half a month to a month. â
Hearing Xu Changqing's speculation that it was very likely to become a reality, everyone's already cold hearts were sprinkled with a layer of frost again.
Because there is another important reason they tacitly did not mention, the restored War Apostle is also on the Suberyon, with its strong vitality, it is likely to be preserved, but the Loic particle orbital cannon is its nemesis, the high temperature radiation is enough to interrupt the War Apostle's strong self-healing ability, and the scene on Titan is a good example.
This war apostle originally planned to let the Suborion unload the Yuechi and others on the Suyue Star and fly to Canglan as the front-line trump card, but now he was caught off guard, and it was actually a chicken and egg beating, how could it not make people regret and resent.
"How long will it take for the fleet of the Giant Devouring Army to reach Sudake?" Prime Minister Cameron didn't look back, put his hands on his somewhat sore waist, and asked softly.
At this moment, he couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, if it wasn't for such a quick success, then whether he could at least save the trump card of the War Apostle.
The sadness and self-reproach on the face of Xia Jingming, the chief of staff of the military department, who had never spoken on the side, swept by, and was immediately transformed into calm and perseverance by the strong will of the soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Prime Minister, the Giant Devouring Fleet is sailing at full speed, and it will be thirty-seven federal standard days, and it will be too late." â
Cameron's brows furrowed deeper and he asked, "What about Canglan?" Is it really impossible to send reinforcements? â
Xu Changqing glanced down at the analysis report just sent by the staff officer, and replied: "According to the precious information sent back by Colonel Su Ye's order to the Suberyon before his disappearance and his own judgment, it is very likely that the Empire has sent a fleet to lurk near the Canglan defense line, once we transfer troops, whether they pursue and intercept, assault the Canglan defense line, or directly return to the Canglan Star, we will fall into great passivity." And I myself also maintain this judgment. â
Hearing the other party's analysis and judgment, Prime Minister Cameron couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, and asked seriously: "This judgment will directly affect the government's next response decision, and it is related to the security of the federation, are you sure?" â
"Yes." Xu Changqing thought for a moment and replied: "With my half-life experience and the head of the Xiang Shang, I will vouch for it. â
"I also support the judgment of Colonel Suye and Senior Commander Xu." The Minister of Defense said tiredly.
"Seconded." Xia Jingming said. Then several important figures seconded the motion.
In the official office, there was silence again, and Prime Minister Cameron raised his head, as if he had aged a lot.
"Is this a dead end?" He looked at the important officials of the federal government and asked, "If this situation continues, Su Yue Star will inevitably be lost, and Canglan Star will follow, and when the time comes, what face will we have to face the hundreds of millions of angry federal people." â
No one can do it.
The current situation between the Empire and the Federation in the Blackstone generation is like a chess game, any order transfer is a trigger for the whole body, once any chess piece is used, it will speed up the defeat.
At this moment, the Ministry of Education, who had been silent with a cup of coffee on the side, Nangong Chiyue suddenly spoke: "If I remember correctly, there is still a force in the Black Stone Star Region that is not controlled by the battle situation. If she's willing to go to Sugaku to help, she can't have a chance to change the tide of the battle. â
The next moment, I saw that everyone's eyes in the official residence were looking at her, and Prime Minister Cameron's eyes were even more red like anxious rabbits, full of contradictions and struggles.
Obviously, everyone present knew what the so-called power that was not contained by the battle situation represented, but everyone tacitly did not mention it.
"But it's only a light advance ship, and, most importantly, His Highness is still on board."
Although Nangong Chiyue is only a teacher at Yuechi University, because she is one of the three lords and five surnames of Nangong family, she also came to the official residence today as a member of the Ministry of Education and participated in this rainy night meeting.
Due to the early start of the Canglan Star War, the starry sky outside the Blackstone Star Region was full of fleets swimming and confronting each other, and the itinerary of the battleship that Isa was riding was greatly affected, and it has stayed behind the Canglan defense line so far.
Others have scruples, and she has scruples too, but she really can't stand this stalemate continuing.
Many of her students died in the sky above Suyue Xing, and the rest are now trapped in Suyue Xing, which makes her who has always been calm have irrepressible anger, so she said coldly: "Instead of struggling here for no sense, you should ask her what you think." â
Everyone glanced at each other, and they could see the solemn struggle in each other's eyes.
That His Highness is the heart and soul of His Highness, if that Highness has another accident, I don't know what kind of anger Lu Dao will face.
So they were considering whether or not to make some inquiries to His Majesty in Sauron Castle first, but they seemed to have guessed the inevitable outcome of such an attempt.
After a short silence, they seemed to have finally reached some kind of tacit understanding, Prime Minister Cameron took a deep breath, his face flashed a trace of indomitable perseverance, his hands pressed on the desk, leaned forward slightly, and said in a solemn tone to the parliamentary secretary general waiting for the mandate in the distance: "Connect me, Your Highness Isa!" â
