Chapter 126: Crisis on the Southern Front (Part II)

First Admiral Drevis was a senior member of the Lekima Federal Military Department, serving as Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Lekima and Commander of the Third Fleet during the Ili War. After the end of the war, in the ensuing federal division incident, he was persuaded by Liang Zecheng and others to join the Republic of Berwick. At first, Drevis was not trusted, but he did not compete for power, and while quietly doing his job, he rarely participated in Berwick's political and military planning meetings, and spent most of his time with his lover. It was not until later, at the suggestion of Qi Daoxue and Liang Zechengdi, that he really became a member of Berwick's military leadership and was appointed commander of Berwick's Fourth Fleet.

Drevis was a man of great talent, and during his tenure as Fleet Commander, his Fourth Fleet was the best of Berwick's fleets in terms of training and combat capabilities. And defeated the commanders of other fleets in many mock battles, although he was finally defeated by Qi Daoxue, but Qi Daoxue was the marshal and the commander of the various fleets of Berwick was convinced, so Drevis was still honored despite the defeat, and gradually gained the trust of Qi Daoxue. In this war against Isseras, Qi Daoxue resolutely appointed Drevis as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Front Army.

In the command room, the commanders of Drevis and two other fleets were holding a meeting.

"I think that the Fourth and Fifth Fleets should be used against the three fleets of Iseras, and the Eighth Fleet against those two fleets of Meenland. Only in this way can we evenly fight against the enemies who come from front to back. ”

The other commander nodded his head in agreement.

Drevis thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I'm against it." In doing so, we will not be able to gain an advantage on either side of the battlefield. The battle will be stalemate, and our losses will be significant. ”

"Does the commander-in-chief have any good suggestions?"

"First of all, we don't know if there are three or four of the Iseras fleets at the front," Drevis said. Don't forget, the intelligence shows that the 22nd Fleet of Isseras is stationed not far from the southern front, and with Douglas's character, he will definitely add the 22nd Fleet to the battlefield on the southern front in this flanking battle. If the enemy had used four fleets, the strength of the Fourth and Fifth Fleets alone would have been undefeated, but I estimate that after the battle, the battle loss rate would have been at least 30 percent or more. And colleagues, the enemy will also discover the secrets of the new warships of the Fourth and Fifth Fleets. ”

"So!" His voice suddenly raised: "We must use all our forces to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy before they can react!" Even if Iseras has four fleets, I believe that with our new warships and Wumu-class ships, we will be able to defeat them fiercely! ”

Dreves's emotions are high, with a strong murderous aura, which can easily lead the feelings of the rest of him.

The other two commanders glanced at each other, both moved.

"But, Lord Commander, we have two more fleets behind us that are Menran. Although the combat effectiveness of those two fleets is extremely low, we can't ignore it. ”

Drevis nodded and said, "I see what you mean. As you may not know, Lord Yunyi is coming at high speed with his secret troops, and it is expected that he will arrive here in about two hours. In other words, we only need to block the Meenlan fleet for two hours! Therefore, I plan to send two detachments of the Fourth Fleet to fend off the Meenlan fleet! ”

"Cloud Wing?" One of the commanders, unaware of who he was, asked in surprise.

"Two detachments?" Another commander was surprised by Dreves's adventure: "The two detachments have only 3,000 warships, and although they are new warships, the number of enemies is 30,000." ”

"Lord Yunyi's identity is a secret in the Empire, as long as you believe in his ability to defeat the Meenlan fleet." Drevis said lightly, and couldn't help but think back to the young man whose face was still a little immature. Although he knew some of Yun Yi's identities, he didn't know very well, and it wasn't until he got Qi Daoxue's trust and joined the core of the Fuguo Society that he realized what a great person that young man was.

"As for whether three thousand warships can hold back the enemy's army." He said slowly, "I believe in my soldiers, and I ask the two adults to believe in the warriors of our empire. ”

The two commanders looked at each other again, and nodded to Drevis. These two commanders were both from the top of Qi Daoxue's pirate fleet, and they were considered to be members of Qi Daoxue's family, and they were ordered by Qi Daoxue before they came here, strictly ordering them to obey the leadership of Drevis and strictly implement his orders.

This is also Qi Daoxue's fear that if he sends other fleets over, he will disobey Dreves's orders.

"So, get ready for battle!" Drevis smiled lightly, as if the six fleets that appeared in front of him were nothing more than a pile of rotten wood. He shouted loudly: "For the sake of the empire, for the empress, go!" ”

……

At this time, Yun Yi was still worried about the Maynlan fleet that had disappeared inexplicably.

"It stands to reason that there is neither a Berwick fleet nor any important military objectives over there, so what is Maynland's fleet doing over there?"

Yun Yi kept thinking, considering all kinds of possibilities.

Beside him, Little Bear also held his head and thought, "Yes, Dad, what do you think they are doing over there?" There's no wormhole over there to go straight to......"

"Wait!"

Yun Yi jumped up from his seat and shouted, "Wormhole! Yes, there must be an undisclosed wormhole there! That's right, they must have passed through a wormhole to reach the destination at high speed! Little Bear, how long do we have to get to the AC-T901 Nebula? ”

Little Bear immediately replied, "About one hour and forty-three minutes." Boss, do you need to start the engine overload state? ”

Yun Yi thought for a moment, and his hands tapped on the keyboard quickly. After a few moments, he said, "Run the engine this way." Overload the engine by 140 percent every ten minutes for three minutes without causing too much damage to the engine! “

"Yes, boss!"

……

"It can't be!"

In the command room, Drevis abruptly stood up from his seat and stared at the screen in disbelief. On the other two screens, the commanders of the Fifth and Eighth Fleets also showed shocked expressions.

Prior to this, Drevis had sent two of the most defensively maneuverable sub-fleets of the Fourth Fleet to contain the Meenland fleet from afar. The remaining 42,000 warships formed a sharp formation most suitable for assault, and prepared to launch the most fierce attack on the Isseras fleet.

However, when they were ready, and the morale of all the officers and soldiers was high, and they were ready to start the first stop of the annihilation, the countless dense fleets that appeared in front of them made everyone watch all this in disbelief.

In front of them was not the three fleets on the southern defensive front of Iseras, nor the four that had joined the 22nd Fleet, but a huge army of nine fleets with a total of 135,000 warships! The blackened battleships rushed out of the nebula, like hideous and hungry beasts, roaring and rushing towards the Southern Front Legion.

Relying on the new warships, Drevis never worried about the southern defense fleet of Isseras. Three fleets he could easily wipe out, even if there were four or five fleets, he wouldn't have the slightest worry.

But now, there were nine fleets in front of him!

"The Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Fleets of the Southern Defensive Front, and the Twenty-second Fleet, which is mobile; the Eleventh Fleet stationed south of Iseras, the Liedler family who had rejected Zagura's wooing; There are also the twelfth, thirteenth, eighteenth and twenty-first fleets, which ...... This is the enemy fleet of the Central Defensive Front of Iseras. Could it be that they have given up defending the midline? ”

The commander of the Eighth Fleet said dumbfoundedly, with unspeakable doubts in his voice.

Drevis stared at the overwhelming battleship and said slowly, "It seems that the legion among us has fallen for their tricks. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid we've lost communication with the outside world by now. ”

As soon as his words fell, the officer in charge of communications ran over and said nervously: "My lord, external communications have been interfered with, and this place has completely lost its connection with the interstellar network. ”

Drevis waved his hand and motioned for the officer to stand down.

Then, he tidied up his military uniform, gently stroked the general star on his shoulder, and said indifferently: "I believe that Marshal Qi will be able to detect the movement of enemy troops in the shortest possible time, which is a good and excellent opportunity for the empire." As long as we can drag the enemy army here to the death, the army on the central line will no longer be hindered, whether it is going north or south, or even directly attacking the enemy's capital. ”

He picked up the red wine next to him, and his handsome face showed a smile: "We have won this war." ”

The two commanders stared at him stunned, but soon they understood what Drevis meant.

They laughed at the same time and raised their glasses: "Good luck!" ”

"Good luck!"

The three of them drank the wine in the glass at the same time, and smashed the glass to the ground in unison.

Drevis laughed: "Brothers, the victory is ours. The future belongs to the empire and to Her Majesty the Empress! Fight, even if it is death, let the Iserras know that our Fourth, Fifth and Eighth Fleets are by no means meat on their chopping block, but real hungry wolves! ”

The commander of the Fifth Fleet also shouted: "Come on, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one, for the sake of the empire, rush!" ”

The Eighth Fleet was not far behind: "Brothers, show your blood, don't forget that in the days when we robbed the border, we were not allowed to lose the marshal's people!" Eighth Fleet, charge! ”

They knew that with an enemy nearly four times their size, it was impossible to win the battle.

They also know that Douglas's piercing shield is no longer the cautious and steady character of the past. The mobilization of a large number of fleets was for the sake of risk, and if it was to succeed, it would be necessary to completely annihilate all three of Berwick's fleets. So, even if they wanted to run, they didn't have any chance.

Rather than being chased by the enemy and fleeing, it is better to fight to the death, firmly contain it here, and create an opportunity for the army on the central front.

Even if it is dead, it must be nailed here like a nail!
