Chapter 136: Jeff's Deterrence
"Lord Deputy Marshal, weishenme, can't you sit down and have a drink with Marshal Ben?" In the outer space orbit of Melsa, nearly 300 warships of all sizes, large and small, are quietly hovering in the orbit of the first space fleet of the San Proli Star Sector. On a SP01001 Behemoth-class battlecruiser, in a luxurious officer's cabin, Jeff, dressed in a white marshal's suit tailored for him, sat leisurely on the sofa, held a goblet full of blood-red wine in his hand, and said with a smile to a gloomy and emaciated old general walking around the living room.
"I'm not in that mood!" This gray-haired old general, also wearing a slightly outdated white uniform, is none other than Admiral Copol, the former Supreme Commander of the First Space Fleet of the new government of the St. Proli Star District. It's just that his current identity is the deputy marshal of the three armed forces and the minister of defense of the new government.
After Jeff proclaimed himself the generalissimo of the three armed forces of the new government, he took advantage of the situation to promote Copol, along with the commanders of the two field army groups, Karui and Lieutenant General Chelsea, to deputy marshal. Then, Jeff quickly took control of the remaining five Wehrmacht army groups on the planet of Mysa that were leaderless, and promoted a large number of young generals who swore allegiance to him.
"Hehe, don't worry, my vice-marshal, these two battlecruisers of yours will not be sacrificed in vain!" Jeff didn't seem to care about Copol's disrespectful tone, took a sip of the red wine in the glass, tilted his head slightly and squinted his eyes to savor it, and then said to Copolo in a very comfortable tone.
"I'm not sorry for those two battlecruisers, Jeff!" Coprola had an old face and sat down across from Jeff. For the self-proclaimed generalissimo of the three armies, Copolo always seemed to lack the respect he deserved. Copolo and Bertlem's old father-in-law, Lucas, used to be old comrades-in-arms. In this way, the young man in front of him, who was wearing a handsome uniform that didn't seem to fit well, was at most equivalent to Copol's grandchildren.
When Jeff's field army caused the Felton Massacre, Copolo in outer space naturally saw it clearly. The reason why he didn't send a fleet in time to stop the atrocities of the field army, and didn't even inform Bob on Tikru and the Wehrmacht generals on other planets, was because he had his own little calculations in mind.
After Bertreum came to power, there was a little friction between Copolo and Wang Guangping in order to compete for the position of the supreme commander of the Wehrmacht. At that time, due to some personal relationships, Bertreum actually favored Wang Guangping a little in the process of dealing with the friction between the two. Although Zuihou Copolo also got the position of the supreme commander of the space fleet, this veteran general, who attaches great importance to his reputation, still hates Wang Guangping because of this, and of course he also begins to have a grudge against Bertlem.
When he received a report from his subordinates about the field army's attack on Felton, Copollo also had the idea of reinforcing Bertlem. However, at that time, due to the field army's implementation of all-channel blocking and jamming of Felton, Copolo did not receive an order or distress signal from the Prime Minister's Office, and his heart was always undecided. In his judgment, Jeff, with two elite field army groups, was more than capable of capturing Felton, which was garrisoned by only a small number of Wehrmacht.
For some reason, Copolo had a very vague idea in his mind at that time, that is, he vaguely hoped that Jeff would successfully capture Felton and "accidentally miss" Bertlem. In this way, it is undoubtedly to remove the invisible shackles of Copol, so that although he is old but still has a lot of ambitions, he can have a broader stage.
However, Copolo was not sure for a moment whether Bertreum could escape from the field army. If Berthrim escapes, then Copolo will undoubtedly be charged with many crimes such as not saving him from death, delaying the fighter, etc., and it is very likely that Berthlem will take off his black gauze hat.
And just as Coppolo hesitated, he received a secret message from Jeff. There was only one sentence on the secret telegram, Bertlem was in Felton, and he would definitely die!
After seeing this secret telegram, Copolo made up his mind and ordered the assembled fleet to stop all operations on the grounds that the situation was unclear. At this point, among the various shili, the liliang that was most likely and the most able to save Bertreum in time gave up the operation inexplicably for special reasons from the commander.
After the end of the field army's operation in Felton, they also sent the news to Copolo that Bertreum had died of his wounds, so that the old general, who was still faintly uneasy in his heart, finally settled down greatly. Then, Jeff and Copolo had a secret meeting for nearly three hours, and in the midst of bargaining, the two sides finally reached a secret agreement and formed a secret alliance that was not known to the outside world.
Because of this agreement and alliance, in the concept of Copol, although he is nominally Jeff's subordinate, he is actually a cooperative relationship with Jeff. Therefore, the gray-haired veteran of the new government did not show due respect when facing Jeff.
"Oh? So what are you worried about? My Vice-Marshal? Jeff put the goblet in his hand on the coffee table, leaned back on the sofa behind him in a very comfortable position, and reminded Copolo of his "current identity" again intentionally or unintentionally.
"I'm worried that if you're doing this, will it be self-defeating and startled?" Copolo seemed to inadvertently ignore Jeff's reminder, sighed lightly, and said, "I understand this old fellow Bob. Although he is not as sophisticated as his brother in dealing with people, and the city government is not so deep. But in major matters, he is also an extremely knowledgeable person, who sees things clearly and is good at touching others. If Bob and his men were alerted by the surprise attack of these two warships, and quickly came up with a countermeasure. Then, at that time, the effect of a large-scale official offensive of our army will be greatly reduced! I would like to remind you that space battlecruisers are not omnipotent. Once the enemy drags the battle into a melee phase, the space battleship's support effect against friendly forces in a melee state is reduced by at least half. ”
"Of course Marshal Ben understands this, my Deputy Marshal!" Jeff smiled contemptuously and asked meaningfully, "Still, don't you think it's better to be able to make the entire planet of Tikru submit to my rule without bloodshed than to make it a bloody planet?" ”
"Bloodless?" Copolo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then snorted coldly, and said in a faint mocking tone: "My marshal, do you think that these two battle cruisers alone can make Bob frightened and come to you to beg for mercy?" Do you think that the three near-Earth combat army groups on the planet Tikru are all a bunch of ornaments? Also, as you probably know, Bob himself is also a soldier, and he has experienced no less battles than you! For such an iron-blooded figure, don't you think the deterrent power of those two battleships is a little too small, right? Marshal! ”
"Oh? Hehe, if you were me, what do you think we should do? Lord Vice Marshal! "Probably after the success of the mutiny, Jeff's temperament changed drastically, and he was not as easily provoked as before. Jeff still smiled faintly at Copol's obvious sarcasm and asked Copol.
"It's very simple, while all the defense forces on the planet Tikru have not yet completed their assembly and deployment, use my space fleet and take your two elite field army groups to launch a full-scale attack on Tikru." A cold glint flashed in Elder Copol's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "With the space and medium-altitude superiority that the space fleet can obtain, plus your two well-trained field army groups, I am absolutely sure that I can completely wipe out the entire planet of Tikru and wipe out all the rebels within a month." Of course, Bob and other bosses will never be allowed to escape Tikru! ”
"Hey, my lieutenant marshal, it seems that you are still old!" After listening to Copol's suggestion, Jeff sighed noncommittally, then casually raised the half-drunk glass of red wine, took a sip again, tilted his head slightly to make a very intoxicated wine tasting look, and said softly: "Wine tasting, naturally you have to take a small sip of it, so that you can really taste the taste of fine wine." Like an old general, he swallows the sea and drinks, but what kind of taste can he taste? ”
"So, what do you mean?" Copolo was stunned, obviously a little confused about the young man's thoughts.
"According to your meaning, old general, aren't we going to fight with the three full-fledged Wehrmacht Close Combat Army groups on the planet Tikru, and we're going to have a river of blood and corpses all over the field? And then, Zuihou just got a Tikru planet littered with ruins? Unconsciously, Jeff's address to Coporough was changed to "Old General", and his tone was a little more solemn, "Could it be that the fate of the second largest planet in my St. Proli Star Region can only be like this?" ”
Speaking of this, Jeff, who has always been cold and ruthless, actually showed a compassionate expression for the first time, and the old Copolo was silent for a while.
"Trying my best to get two battleships and sneak attack on the day of Irene's engagement ceremony, in fact, I just want two words!" After a slight pause, Jeff stared at Copolo and said, "Deterrence! ”
"I'm sorry, Marshal, I still don't understand!" Seeing Jeff's expression so serious, Copolo was a little surprised in his heart, and asked in a rare respectful tone.
"Adjutant, bring in the picture!" Jeff smiled slightly, looked up and seemed to say something into the air.
The next moment, on the wall directly opposite the living room of this cabin, a huge holographic screen suddenly appeared. With the sound of fierce artillery fire, the images of the two battleships, one in front and one behind, suddenly emerged from inside. However, the former battleship was surrounded by countless Viking fighters, and the fire was shining everywhere and the eyes were scarred, while the bow of the other battleship was suddenly full of fire, followed by a huge fireball with a huge brilliant tail flame like the sun, roaring towards a city directly below. The next moment, when the fireball merged with the phantom of the city, a huge mushroom cloud rose up, engulfing most of the city in an instant.
Seeing this set of pictures, Copolo opened his mouth in shock, as if he wanted to say something, but Zuihou still held back.
"My Lieutenant Marshal, imagine if you were Bob, would you want every city on the planet Tikru to be like this?" Jeff triumphantly raised his wine glass, gently shook the red wine in the glass, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and said with a smug smile.
Hearing Jeff's words, Copelo seemed to understand Jeff's intentions a little. Jeff's move was clearly killing the chicken to show the monkey. In addition to deliberately giving Bob and the others a look at the so-called engagement ceremony, he also wanted to tell Bob that he has the ability to turn every city on the planet Tikru into ruins. For his sake, even at the expense of two battlecruisers......
