Chapter XXXVII: The Victory of the Federation
Track, infiltrate, assassinate, fight, evacuate. The mental tension is high, and even Yun Yi feels a little tired. After returning to the ship, Cloudwing discovers that the Federation fleet is still near South Eust, and decides to rest and wait for the Federation fleet to leave before making plans.
It's just that he didn't expect that the volcanic eruption at the bottom of the sea would attract the close attention of the warring parties who were preparing for a big war.
Due to the attack of the Federation Army South Eust, the personnel of the detection agencies on this planet have gone into hiding and have not been discovered. The first to discover the volcanic eruption was the mecha team sent by Lin Yiqing to search for Yunyi.
They followed the direction of Yun Yi's departure, all the way from the continent to the ocean, searching the place where Yun Yi had finally disappeared, looking for his traces. However, in an instant, more than a dozen mecha discovered the explosion of energy in the depths of the seabed at the same time, which made them unable to help but change their color.
The cloud wings disappeared here, and it was most likely underwater. Maybe something was found underwater and didn't have time to report, and now that the volcano has erupted under the sea, and the geological institutes on South Euste have not detected signs and records of a possible eruption of this volcano, then there is only one possibility, this volcano was detonated by man.
After passing the news to Lin Yiqing, he sat in the command chair and was silent for a while.
After a long time, he waved his hand and said, "I understand, you guys go back." ”
The army of Iseras is coming, and Lin Yiqing will not be distracted by this kind of thing. Only after the end of the war, a detailed investigation of the place may be able to find out what happened in the first place.
At the same time, the remnants of Isseras in South Uist also received the news and quickly passed it on to Zagu, who was on his way to South Uyest. After reading this information, Zagu's face did not change much, and he quickly gave the order, and the fleet turned and disappeared into the long stars, and did not reach South Eust. Zagu walked extremely quickly and covertly, and the intelligence agencies of the Federation were too backward to find out about this situation at all, resulting in the 3rd, 11th, 16th, and 21st fleets, including Lin Yiqing, still waiting in front of them, without noticing that Zagu's fleet had left.
At Jinchaokou, the three fleets of the half-crippled original Jinchaokou, under the command of Admiral Otto, bit nearly 30,000 enemy ships behind the enemy's palace. Yang Tiexin's 20th fleet was like a hungry wolf, wandering at the edge of the enemy's fleet's range, and quickly assaulting at every opportunity, and each attack could bite off a large piece of meat. By the time the 1st and 2nd fleets under Field Marshal Werner arrived at the mouth of the Golden Tide, Douglas had less than 5,000 ships left.
Seeing that the tide was turning, Douglas led the remaining 5,000 battleships to surrender to Field Marshal Werner.
The three fleets led by Admiral Otto, who was in charge of the defense of the Golden Tide Pass, were reduced to less than 12,000 ships after this battle. Werner quickly asked Otto to reorganize the fleet, take care of the surrendered fleet, and clean up the battlefield and rescue personnel. Immediately afterwards, the 1st and 2nd fleets led by Werner, as well as the 20th fleet, which did not suffer much losses, quickly advanced to the south of the star of Youist.
However, when they arrived in South Eust, they saw several Federation fleets waiting for them.
The main fleet of Iserras has completely disappeared.
Although it did not kill the Iraqi Emperor and his main fleet, there was no doubt that it was a major victory. In this battle, the Federation paid the lives of 1.6 million soldiers and the loss of nearly 30,000 warships, not only successfully blocked the overall offensive of the Iraqi army, but also counterattacked, recaptured the enemy's base camp on the front line, South Eust, destroyed 31,000 enemy warships, and captured 8,400 ships.
The news of the victory quickly reached the Dawn Star in the federal capital, and the president, who had been anxiously waiting for the battle report, cried like a child when he saw it. Immediately afterwards, the news after polishing and exaggeration, under the promotion of the government, spread overwhelmingly throughout the entire federation and several surrounding countries. Suddenly, the whole country of the Federation celebrated, and people took to the streets to celebrate.
Several surrounding countries looked at all this in amazement, and in their calculations, even if the Federation successfully defended the Iraqi army's attack, it would only be a disastrous victory. But he didn't expect that at the last moment, Zagu's main fleet would disappear, which is really unbelievable.
The most unbelievable thing is that with the title of "Thorn Water Shield", the first general of the Iseras Empire, Zagu's loyal dog, General Douglas, actually surrendered to the Federation Army!
The edicts of Iserras were extremely cruel, and unlike other nations, they could be ransomed with large sums of money or politically exchanged prisoners for enemies who surrendered. As long as they surrendered, Iserras regarded them as traitors. For Zagu, there were only Iserran soldiers who died in battle, and there were no Iserran soldiers who surrendered.
Does Douglas's surrender indicate that Yseras is no longer as powerful as it was when the army first started, and that the Federation can successfully regain all the lost territory?
Military commentators from various countries have expressed their own views, and although their views are not unanimous, summing up, there are three main problems that led to the defeat of the Iraqi army.
First. Douglas shouldn't have thought the Federalists were so stupid. used a fleet of 20,000 warships and 30,000 scrapped warships to contain the defenders of the Federation Tabesena, but the Federation people saw through it, which led to the attack on the lair behind.
Second. Zagu shouldn't have taken South Juist so seriously. If Zagu's army did not evacuate at that time, but instead fought a big battle with the Federation at Jinchaokou, this battle would have been a disastrous victory even if the Federation won.
Third. At the last moment, Zagu should not have withdrawn the main fleet. If Zagu hadn't withdrawn, whether he had gone to South Eustor or returned to support Douglas, the outcome could have changed. After all, Zagu's royal fleet was very strong in combat, and with the support of the other three fleets with a total of 40,000 warships, Iserras would not necessarily fail.
Of course, what critics see is always what is superficial.
In fact, during the defensive battle of Tabersena, if it weren't for Yun Yi's discovery of the enemy's cattiness, and the fear of the federal army against the Iraqi army, I don't know how long it would have been grinding. And as soon as Zagu heard that South Eust had been captured, the first question that came to his mind was not how to defeat the Federation, but that the secret base of the Dragon Slayer Society must not be discovered! If it is discovered by the federal army, the Dragon Slayer will never admit it, and Zagu will become the scapegoat for this secret.
There is something in the base, Zagu knows it clearly. As long as the slightest leak of the news of this robot, Iserras is bound to be attacked by countless countries, even with the support of the Dragon Slayer Society.
Therefore, the importance of South Eust in Zagu's heart is even more important than winning this battle.
Later, when Zagu learned of the eruption, he immediately guessed that it was the Dragon Slayer Society who destroyed the underground base. However, at this time, no matter which side he took the fleet to, the final battle situation would be difficult to change. Instead of this, it is better to retain the strength, and with the support of the Dragon Slayer Society, it is not difficult to make a comeback.
As for Douglas, when he first gave up on him, Zagu still felt a little pity and sadness. Later, when he heard that Douglas had surrendered, Zaguton felt furious, and at the suggestion of the prime minister, he immediately issued a maximum arrest warrant for Douglas.
The battle, and so it ended.
The next stage belongs to the Federal Army. Their armies will penetrate deep into enemy-occupied territory, regain all lost territory, and drive the Iseraths back to their homeland.
The Federation forces converging in South Juyster, by the arrival of Marshal Vilna, had reached a huge number of more than 70,000 warships. Yun Yi looked at the dense dots of light on the screen weakly, and groaned: "Why did Zagu run away, now that so many people are gathered here, how can I drive the boat away?" ”
Sakura's voice rang out: "Oracle-sama, if you want to drive the spaceship away in this situation, there is a 99.993245% chance of being discovered."
Yun Yi shook his head helplessly.
"It's boring to talk to this kind of AI. Forget it, it seems that the federal army will not leave for a while and a half, take stock of the harvest, I still will meet the fleet first. Otherwise, the commander would have been worried. ”
Thinking of this, Yun Yi shouted, "Sakura, show me the list of supplies loaded on the ship." ”
"Yes, oracle lord."
After a few moments, a long list of supplies appeared on the screen, all of which Sakura commanded the droid to move out of the base. Yun Yi smiled, and was about to take a closer look when suddenly the voice of [Sakura] sounded.
"Lord Oracle, the rebellious Aquarius Vice Deity has awakened, what should I do with it?"
