Section 25 March of the Empire
The commander of the new Roman Imperial Army, Admiral Tsang Tai, suddenly ordered the fleet to leave the battle, but not because he learned of the tactics of General Bloomberg of the Bundeswehr. Quick reading for mobile phones: Ă p.1(6)Îșx text version debuts
The message conveyed by the notification ship was actually Friedrich of the Reich Central Fleet? William? Feng? Order of the Imperial Marshal of Bergdorf. When the notification ship sent to hear that Zeng Tai was commanding the two detachments of "Napoleon" and "Haraldi" preparing for a "fierce" battle with the Bundeswehr, he immediately ordered Zeng Tai to be taken out of the "fierce" battle and join his own fleet. In that case, with the addition of the 2,300 warships of the "Genghis Khan" fleet, the Imperial Army would have a total of more than 4,300 warships in the "Yi" star field, more than half of which would be battleships, thus forming a slight advantage over the Bundeswehr on the whole.
But the battle between the two large fleets has already begun, and it will not be easy to quickly disengage. Although the Bundeswehr's Eighth Fleet was in a state of retreat, and the Imperial Army turned to retreat, immediately widening the distance between the two sides to an effective combat distance of 300,000 kilometers, General Zhou Jiande reacted quickly, followed by a retreat to advance, and accelerated the pursuit of the opponent.
The battlefield situation was repeated again, but the actor's role was reversed.
"Just keep the effective combat distance. Be sure to hold them off. â
On the battleship "Su Yu", Vice Admiral Zhou Jiande issued the same order as his earlier opponent. As long as they can hold off the Imperial Army for at least one more minute, the ferocious Ninth Fleet will be in the cover. At that time, the Imperial Army will be even more 'plugged' and it will be difficult to fly.
The swift response of the Bundeswehr was a problem for Tseng. Whether it is turning around and running away, or spreading out the formation, it is not a safe and efficient retreat action. Faced with the two umbrella-shaped curtains displayed in the tactical command center of the battleship "Napoleon" moving and bombarding each other, Zeng Tai's impatient expression added a lot of worry.
Correspondence came from the flagship of the "Haraldi" detachment "Gustav II", Gus? Colonel Whitehead advised, "Report to the sir, and the lowly advice is to keep in formation, charge straight into the enemy's line, and penetrate them." â
"Like they did to us yesterday?"
"In the way of others, they should be treated as they are."
Gus said calmly. If it were to be replaced by him being in charge of all the Imperial troops, when he received the order to retreat, he would rush into the enemy formation, penetrate the opponent's formation with rapid momentum, and spread out the formation behind it into the speed of light.
Zeng Tai seemed a little hesitant. This kind of operation is risky. At present, the distance between the enemy and us is nearly 300,000 kilometers, and the fleet has stopped retreating and turned to accelerate forward, and the distance spanning 300,000 kilometers is somewhat long, and it is easy to be hit hard in the process of impact.
"Please don't hesitate any longer, sir."
Gus's tone became anxious. Neither he nor Zeng Tai received accurate information on the exact number of enemy troops, and a large number of unmanned reconnaissance ships found the current 2,000 Federation warships. However, in Gus's eyes, the enemy actually took the initiative to adopt the traditional frontal attack tactics when the advantage was not obvious, and it was not defending his own homeland, but when he was on an expedition, so there must be more troops who were peeping at the opportunity. If you continue to stalemate with it, you will meet with accidents.
Just then, a Bundeswehr unmanned notification ship appeared near the battlefield. After sailing some distance at the highest reaction propulsion speed of half the speed of light, it passed a new order from Admiral Bloomberg to the flagship of the Eighth Fleet, the Su Yu, to retreat.
"Full speed ahead! Penetrate the enemy line! â
Zhou Jiande gave the order without thinking. He had the same idea as Gus, penetrating the enemy line and then calmly disengaged.
"The enemy is starting to accelerate! Rush at us! "The early warning sergeant issued a warning.
"Rush forward at full speed and penetrate the enemy line!"
Zeng Tai finally made up his mind.
The two huge formations bombarded each other non-stop, and accelerated towards each other, and in just a few seconds, they 'intersected' each other. Some of the warships almost passed by, and at the same time did not hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity to bombard each other as close as possible. All of a sudden, the space where the two sides were 'mixed' was filled with high-energy 'excited' beams, particle beams, kinetic energy projectiles, and the light from explosions, as well as the debris from the bursting of the hit battleships.
The two sides with the same motive quickly 'intertwined' each other, flying behind each other as fast as they could, out of the battlefield where energy was tumbling and debris was flying. Immediately after that, the formation was dispersed, and the Akuberi engine was 'excited', entering the speed of light.
The reason for the suspension of the second battle was the same for both the Reich Army and the Bundeswehr. Marshal Bergdorf feared that his opponents would be defeated individually, so he let Zentai out of the battle so that he could concentrate his forces. After learning of the arrival of the "Genghis Khan" fleet, the five-star Admiral Bloomberg was worried that his old opponent might come out in a 'fierce' battle and engulf him with superior forces. So he decisively suspended the sortie order of the Ninth Fleet and recalled the Eighth Fleet, which had already entered the battle.
Both sides gathered all their combat ships together and planned a new attack.
Bergdorf personally led the "Genghis Khan" fleet to reinforce the defenders of the "Yi" star field in time, completely disrupting Bloomberg's offensive concept. Now he had to rethink a new plan.
On the battleship "Alexander", the general flagship of the Bundeswehr, Admiral Lepnin, chief of staff of the "Quetzalcoatl" operation, reported to the old partner: "The unmanned reconnaissance ship has confirmed that there is one of the battleships of the 'Commander' class 'Genghis Khan' in the enemy's fleet. It seems that Frederick the Younger has taken command himself. â
"Frederick the Younger" was Bogdorf's nickname during his time under Marshal Du Yimin. Because he had the same name as Frederick the Great (Friedrich IIvonPreu?en, der Gro?e, 17121786), and because he was a good fluteer, he was called "Frederick the Younger", in fact, alluding to his rather unbearable style. This nickname was not only widely spread among the Imperial Army at that time, but even the Bundeswehr at that time was called when it mentioned Bergdorf.
Only now, Bergdorf is the only person in the new Roman Empire who enjoys the rank of marshal, and his emperor is also restrained because of his age, so most of his subordinates who did not experience the Great War of 2890 do not know "Frederick the Younger".
"It seems that he should also know that I am the commander-in-chief of the fleet in this campaign, so he will travel thousands of miles to personally lead the fleet to this desolate space." Bloomberg let out a low sigh.
"Speaking of which, I think he's here to get revenge on you." Repnin recalled, "In the Battle of the 'Machu Picchu' Star Field, you led the fleet to successfully annihilate his fleet, resulting in the complete bankruptcy of the Imperial Army's invasion of the 'Yin' plot. Now he must be here to share his rivalry with you. â
"Divide the two?" Mr. Bloomberg was puzzled.
In 2890, Bloomberg and Bergdorf were fierce generals under General Su Yu and Marshal Du Yimin, respectively, and their style of use of troops was both fast and ferocious. The two have 'fought' each other many times, and the two biggest and most crucial 'sexual' battles have occurred in the "Himalayas" and "Machu Picchu" battles.
In the Battle of the Himalayas, Bergdorf, who was the vanguard of the Empire's counterattack, commanded 3,000 battleships to suddenly kill from behind the huge amount of material thrown by the Great Star Flare, which caught the fleet commanded by Bloomberg off guard and forced to dispatch interstellar marines to engage in bloody cross-border battles and ramming battles. However, Bergdorf still broke through his ship formation and smashed the flagship of the Bundeswehr commander-in-chief, Admiral Royenthal, the Royencram the Great, and destroyed it in one fell swoop, thus delivering a fatal blow to the victory of the Imperial Army.
In the Battle of Machu Picchu that year, Bloomberg was finally able to take revenge. According to General Su Yu's deployment, General Bloomberg commanded the fleet to surprise the Borgdorf fleet tasked with supporting the task of blocking the convergence of the invading Imperial fleet. The two fierce generals met again, and the battle was very fierce. The two sides once again resorted to terrifying tactics of broadside combat and ramming, and the two commanders even put on power armor several times to fight in space and on the battleship. In the end, Bloomberg succeeded in inflicting heavy damage on Bergdorf's fleet. Although he also paid a heavy price, it made Marshal Du Yimin's hope for another decisive battle in one place and his troops came to naught. In desperation, Marshal Du announced his surrender and then committed suicide.
Both men have won crucial victories over their opponents for their countries and their armies, so they are not easy to distinguish between them.
"This time, we have to beat him. Then we have a two-to-one win ratio. Lepnin analyzed.
"Leonid, how do you think of war as a ball game?"
Lepnin smiled and said, "Sometimes, if we regard the brutal fight as a game, maybe we will not have any 'spirit' burden and can devote ourselves to the journey for victory. â
"This was said by General Su Yu."
"yes. After we resigned after the failure of the last 'Yi' Star Field battle, I often thought about how the stage of life would end. "After receiving the assignment, I felt that this was a unique opportunity. Erik, we should seize the opportunity and do a gorgeous curtain call. â
"A glamorous curtain call?" Bloomberg, however, expressed doubts, "The two great battles with 'Frederick the Younger' were very bloody and tragic. If you do it again, how can it be called gorgeous? It is now certain that the number of ships of the 'Little Frederick' exceeds ours, and in the event of a direct confrontation, it will be unprecedentedly 'fierce'. â
"There doesn't seem to be a better way than a direct confrontation." Lepnin said embarrassed.
"I decided to avoid the Imperial Army and fight the 'Little Frederick'. Waiting for Minister Higgins to attack Iserlohn from Pellion, 'Frederick the Younger' will have to go back to look after his lair, and we will hunt him down from behind. â
"It doesn't seem to fit your style." Lepnin said.
This is General Su's usual practice. We can't just keep fighting in the same way as before, because the brothers have suffered too many casualties. â
Bloomberg provided further clarification. Now in his last years, he has lost interest in the victories of the past, which were based on brutal bloody battles. The sharpness and momentum of the year have also been ruthlessly worn away by the years. Although he still wears as many as nine "Freedom Star" medals, which are unique in the world, he has long understood the essence of the former superior, General Su Yu, to maximize the value of every drop of blood.
He continued: "You and I have lived almost a lifetime, and even if we die now, we have no regrets. However, all of our brothers are still very young and have just stepped onto the stage of life. We don't have the right to let them come with us. â
Hearing him say this, Repnin also nodded and said, "It's okay." We will develop concrete action steps along this line. â
Unfortunately, however, their "little Frederick", Marshal Bergdorf of the New Roman Empire, had a "hole" in their heavenly opportunities.
On the three-dimensional imaging of the communication conference terminal, he was wearing a luxurious imperial marshal's uniform and sitting upright on the command seat of the tactical command center of the battleship "Genghis Khan", like a domineering commander.
The epaulettes made of pure platinum are inlaid with the imperial double-headed eagle emblem hand-carved by natural rubies and a pair of pure gold 'cross' and 'stick' bundles, the large gold double-headed eagle emblem tied in the middle below the standing collar, and the diamond sword and oak leaf gold Caesar medal worn on the left 'chest' on the nine rows of noble medals, all of which shine brilliantly, all showing the outstanding exploits of the marshal.
He said to the generals, "Military intelligence has confirmed that it was Eric who commanded the Federation forces to fight for the interstellar planet 'Yi'? Feng? Bloomberg. But now that our three fleets have converged, he is no longer actively attacking us, and must be trying to deal with us in order to create an opportunity for the other Wehrmacht fleets to attack the planet Iserlon. â
"In this way, our army will have to take care of the defense of the two places at the same time, and the pressure will be very heavy."
Zeng Tai said worriedly. Once something happens to the planet Iserlon, Bergdorf will inevitably lead the "Genghis Khan" fleet back to defense, so the responsibility of guarding the interstellar planet "Yi" will all fall on his "Napoleon" fleet. At that point, he would have to fight the Federation Army at a complete disadvantage.
"Regarding the defense of the planet Iserlon, you don't need to worry too much." Bergdorf said confidently.
The capture of the planet Iserren could only be the beginning of a march into the Empire. However, based on the current military strength, it is unlikely that the Bundeswehr will use the planet Iserren as the main direction of attack, and its main purpose is to seize the interstellar planet "Yi". Therefore, Bergdorf believes that the opponent will definitely send a fleet to cross the 135th parallel and launch a feint attack on the Iseron star field at the same time as attacking the "Yi" star field, in an attempt to cause the imperial army to fall into a situation where one is lost and the other is lost. Since the two planets are more than 4,000 light-years apart, it would be easy for the Imperial army to be exhausted if they were to be kept at both ends.
In order to prevent this unfavorable situation, Bergdorf specially pleaded with Wang Zeren, the imperial consul who had always been at odds. Under the joint lobbying of the two, the Senate finally agreed to transfer the "Constantine" fleet stationed on the planet of New Byzantium and the "Hannibal" fleet stationed on the planet Africa to Iserlonian to assist in the defense. In this way, Bergdorf can have no worries and let go in the "easy" star field.
"Our priority is to force the enemy to a decisive battle with us as soon as possible and strive to annihilate them in one fell swoop."
"Your Excellency Marshal, since the enemy has shown that he is not in a hurry to carry out a decisive battle, it is naturally difficult for our army's intention to concentrate all its ships on their decisive battle. The lowly suggestion was to divide into multiple small fleets and constantly harass them, so as to carry out the tactics of cannibalization and eliminate them little by little. "It's Gus who is making the suggestion? Colonel Whitehead.
Bergdorf glanced at the white-haired young commander of the detachment, but he did not immediately respond. If it weren't for the insistence of the Imperial Archon Wang Zeren, he would never have agreed to let a small colonel serve as the commander of the detachment, although the "Haraldi" fleet was much smaller than the ordinary detachment. That being said, Bergdorf is appreciative of Gus's consistently excellent performances.
"It looks good, but it's too inefficient." "While we don't have to worry about the defense of Ixellon, the main fleet can't stay here for long. Therefore, it is necessary to think of a faster way to 'trick' the enemy into a decisive battle. â
Only he knew that the stability of the planet Iseron was built on the cost of the imperial capital and the empty defense of the important food base. If the war in the "Yi" star field drags on for a long time, once the Federation learns of the inside of the Imperial Army, it will definitely take the risk of attacking the Empire's Eagle's Nest New Byzantine Planet as it did in early 2890.
"Unmanned reconnaissance ships and notification ships were stationed in the police. Having found the enemy, our troops divided into three lines and besieged them from three directions. Gus didn't think about it, but then he said with some concern: "Of course, there are risks in doing this, and if the timing is not right, the enemy will escape, or even break us all." â
Bergdorf finally looked at Gus this time, even if it was only in front of him.
After weighing some time, the Imperial Marshal finally made up his mind and said, "Colonel Whitehead, draw up a new plan of attack based on your proposal. â
The communication meeting was over, and Gus finally breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere of the meeting with the Imperial Marshal was more serious than the scene of meeting the Imperial Consul, which made him feel very uncomfortable as he had always liked to be light-hearted and lively.
After handing over the details of a possible future battle to the staff officers, Gus connected to the 'private' communication with the "Vector" No. 3 research ship nearly a million kilometers away.
Chen Weiyin's image immediately appeared in front of Gus's eyes.
"Hello, Doctor." Gus greeted warmly.
"Hehe, it's you again, Commander Whitehead." Chen Weiyin said with a smile, but her tone was a little annoyed.
In fact, since he got acquainted with Gus at the wedding of his ex-boyfriend Jiang Ziyue, this white-headed man seems to be quite interesting to himself. Especially after he led the fleet to the "Yi" star field this time, he always had nothing to do. However, Chen Weiyin has little feeling for a man like Gus.
Gus ignored the other party's attitude and continued in a rather "brazen" manner: "Is there any progress in your research? â
"It's been almost half a year, and Planet Yi has not responded to all of our requests for communication." Chen Weiyin said coldly.
Gus couldn't help but smile, isn't this the situation he is facing? For half a year, he has been courting Chen, but Chen has no reaction to him. "Looks like we're helpless." He smiled wryly and said, half talking about the connection with the "easy" planet, and half talking about himself and Chen.
Chen Weiyin also smiled, and she seemed to hear the voiceover. But she didn't say anything, but said, as usual, "I'm busy, and if there's nothing to do, I'll stop the correspondence." â
"Well, it's not true." Gus said honestly.
The correspondence was soon terminated by Chen Weiyin. Gus had no choice but to sit in the command seat, staring blankly at the cosmic void on the display system.
