The attention of the entire Perseus Commonwealth was shocked by the surprise attack coming from the rear, first the capital planet "Andromeda", then "Atlantis", and now it was the turn of "Eden", and the Bundeswehr felt the great humiliation.

Earlier pursued the Imperial Army "Mao? Marsh? Zhou Jiande's fleet, which rushed to the planet "Atlantis" in time to assist in rescuing the refugees, immediately led his troops to reinforcements after receiving the alarm from the unmanned notification ship of the planet "Eden".

When Vice Admiral Zhou Jiande led nearly a thousand warships to the planet "Eden" in seven days, the Imperial Army had already fled without a trace, however, a careful intelligence staff officer comprehensively analyzed the local National Guard and militia and the reports of attacks, and concluded that the Imperial Army that launched the attack had less than 200 cruisers.

General Zhou Jiande was surprised by his report, because if the conclusion was in line with reality, then they had undoubtedly fallen for the enemy's tricks, so he personally summoned the captain who submitted the report, Luo Xiaochen.

"If it is a sound attack from the east to the west, the enemy's behavior of choosing a planet with little strategic significance such as 'Eden' as the target of the feint, seems to be very unreasonable!" Zhou Jiande expressed his doubts to his subordinates.

Luo Xiaochen smiled and analyzed: "General, starting from the planet 'Atlantis' and flying to the inside of the Immortal Spiral Arm, the nearest planet is only 'Eden' in addition to 'Andromeda', 'Andromoda' because it has been besieged by the enemy once, and the ships of our army are gathering there at full speed, so they don't have to take any more risks, so they choose to feint the planet 'Eden' according to the principle of proximity, and attacking the planet 'Eden' can also achieve another major goal!" ”

"What a goal!" General Zhou Jiande asked eagerly.

"Lead us as far as possible away from their true goal!"

"You're!" The straightforward Zhou Jianjun was unceremonious, he didn't like to listen to his subordinates tell some well-known truths, he then asked: "According to your judgment, where is the real target of the enemy!" ”

"Interstellar Planet 'Yi'!" Luo Xiaochen is very sure.

"The 'Zheng He' fleet that attacked the planets 'Andromeda' and 'Atlantis' with the enemy, combined with the forces that escaped from the battle of 'Eiqueth' before, does not give their commander the certainty of victory!" Zhou Jiande, who was born in a professional soldier, looked at Luo Xiaochen's inference out of common sense: "And it is unlikely that the enemy will be able to grasp the strength of Colonel Luo Bo's attack on the 'Yi' planet in this way, so it is really dangerous to rush to a long distance!" ”

Luo Xiaochen didn't think much of Zhou Jiande's words, he saw farther and more thoroughly, and he carefully analyzed to Zhou Jiande:

"Sir, the enemy is fully able to calculate the strength of Colonel Robb, after the 'Zheng He' fleet meets with the fleeing fleet, we can estimate the strength of our army sent to the 'Yi' interstellar planet according to the situation of the battle of the 'Aegis' star field, and the enemy's 'Zheng He' fleet has successfully attacked our 'Midgard', 'Andromeda', 'Atlantis' and ' The four planets of Eden will put tremendous pressure on our army, which will force President Song Tingrong and the five-star Admiral Bloomberg to concentrate as many ships as possible in the country in order to stabilize the public's confidence! ”

"Obviously, in the battle of the 'Aegis' star field, our army has achieved a great victory, and taking this opportunity, our army should be able to launch a strategic counterattack into the territory of the new Roman Empire, but it was so stirred up by the 'Zheng He' fleet, the president, the Ministry of National Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff had to deploy the main forces in the country for a long time, so to speak, the commander of the 'Zheng He' fleet Jiang Ziyue attacked from the attack From the beginning of Midgard's planet, a game will be laid out, one that will allow him and his fleet to maintain the temporary rule of the Senate in the Imperial Central Fleet, whether victory or defeat! ”

After listening to Luo Xiaochen's analysis, Zhou Jiande realized some mysteries, but he said very quickly: "Our army does not plan to take this opportunity to launch a strategic counteroffensive against the New Roman Empire, Jiang Ziyue is still a little redundant to do so!" ”

"General, war planning must give priority to everything, it is very necessary for the enemy to do so, and if the president and the five-star general Bloomberg can see the current situation clearly, they will inevitably launch a strategic counterattack in the short term, and we are advised to prepare as soon as possible!"

"Do you think we should go back to Planet Aegis right away!" Zhou Jiande immediately asked.

Luo Xiaochen replied, "No, sir, leave the logistics supply fleet to assist Teresa?" Once our army is determined to counterattack, the five-star Admiral Bloomberg is likely to divide his troops into three ways, and our fleet will be able to attack from the 'Andromeda' and attack the enemy's planet 'Iserlon'! ”

"How could you possibly know that the five-star Admiral Bloomberg was attacking the New Roman Empire in three ways!" Although Lieutenant General Zhou Jiande was disdainful of the small lieutenant staff officer in front of him on the surface, he was already impressed by him in his heart.

"Before our army completed the assembly on the planet 'Aegis', Colonel Robb worked with me to formulate a series of future strategic counterattack plans, the content of which is based on the victory and defeat of our army after this battle and the comparative changes in the strength of the enemy and us, the strategic deployment is carried out, and the most ideal design is that our army will win a big victory, annihilate the main force of the enemy's Central Fleet, and then successfully launch a strategic counterattack, our army will annihilate the remnants of the enemy and force the other side to make peace!"

"Our army has won a big victory, but it doesn't seem to be going well to counterattack!" Zhou Jiande couldn't help but interrupt the other party's words.

"Yes, sir, the threat posed by the remnants of the enemy's fleet fleeing and Jiang Ziyue's 'Zheng He' fleet led by Jiang Ziyue is unexpected, but what can they do now? The destruction of the planet 'Atlantis' can't cause fatal damage to us, and the attack on several other planets can't do anything to us, these actions are at most to delay the progress of our actions, and give the new Roman Empire itself a little time to survive, but just such a little time to survive cannot recover their heavy wounds, and it just so happens that the deployment of our three-way counterattack can also take advantage of the situation, and the code name of the counterattack plan is 'Radish'! ”

"But haven't you already deduced that Jiang Ziyue is preparing to attack the interstellar planet 'Yi' with his method of attacking the east and west? Shall we just let him go against Colonel Robb's fleet and give up 'Yi'!" ”

"We can get the interstellar planet 'Easy'!" Luo Xiaochen was deeply skeptical, and he continued: "Sir, have you forgotten what happened to the Fourth, Seventh, and Thirteenth Fleets? ”

Zhou Jiande looked at him in surprise, this little captain actually knew so many battles that only senior generals could know.

Luo Kaochen said calmly: "It is impossible for us to get the 'Yi' planet, and the enemy is impossible, even if the enemy occupies the airspace around it, with the current state of troops, it will not be able to hold it at all, Colonel Robb's attack on the 'Yi' planet is just a ploy to attack the east and west, and the real action is to attack from the direction of the 'Yi' planet, and attack the 'New Byzantium' planet, the capital of the new Roman Empire, in a roundabout way, so we can completely ignore Jiang Ziyue and his 'Zheng He' fleet, and act according to our existing plan!" ”

After Luo Xiaochen's analysis, Zhou Jiande finally had a full understanding of the overall battle situation, and he immediately said: "Captain Luo, then according to your suggestion, let the logistics supply fleet go to the planet 'Atlantis' to continue to assist in disaster relief, and we will return to the planet 'Andromoda', and since you are very clear about the battle plan that you have taken over, I will promote you to the operational staff of the headquarters and directly assist me and the headquarters in the operational command work!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" Luo Xiaochen happily responded that his talent was recognized by his superiors, which brought him one step closer to his political goals.

As Luo Xiaochen analyzed, Jiang Ziyue did only dispatch 200 cruisers to attack the planet "Eden", and he himself led the rest of the ships to run wildly all the way and pounced on the interstellar planet "Yi" on the outside of the Yingxian spiral arm.

The Central Fleet "Mao" who followed Jiang Ziyue to fight against the "Zheng He" fleet? Marsh? The officers and men of the "Eastern" detachment finally saw and experienced the crazy flight of Jiang Ziyue and the border fleet this time, and most of the faster-than-light flights rushed to the speed of the "Akuberi" above the speed of 6.5, and sometimes Jiang Ziyue even asked everyone to overload the "Akuberi" engine of the battleship and launch an attack towards the equivalent speed of 7 of 5 million times the speed of light.

Despite the excessively high speed and the amount of time and effort required to maintain the "Akuberi" engine after each change to exceed the speed of light, in fact, the entire fleet only took less than 100 hours, spanning nearly 5,000 light-years of space, and completing the assembly in the predetermined airspace close to the interstellar planet "Yi".

On April 20, 2020, the unmanned reconnaissance ship that arrived in advance reported the results of the reconnaissance of the planet "Yi" and the surrounding space, and there was no Immortal Interstellar Bundeswehr fleet, and the New Roman Empire scientific expedition team that had previously investigated here was also missing.

This result was completely unexpected by Jiang Ziyue.

Under the background of the vast starry sky, the dim and dull planet "Yi" makes it difficult for Jiang Ziyue in front of the porthole to distinguish clearly, this wandering planet without stars is very mysterious, and it has made the two countries of the Yingxian spiral arm interstellar human world fight and shed blood, and even once took it upon himself to slaughter the human fleet.

But Jiang Ziyue didn't care too much about the strange planet in front of him, which seemed to be at his fingertips but was extremely far away, he knew very well that even if there was no appearance of this planet, the war between the Senate and the Roman people and the Immortal Interstellar Federation would still break out again, human beings are born a war race, and they are also a race of intraspecific war, and he is an excellent warrior of this race.

He led the fleet deep behind enemy lines to launch guerrilla attacks. Although it has caused serious damage and great deterrence to the adversary, it is also difficult for other friendly forces fighting in space to make effective contacts, so that it is also difficult to understand the current situation of the enemy.

Jiang Ziyue held a correspondence meeting with the commanders of the Mao fleet and the detachments below to discuss the next move.

Anatoly? Major Sherinsky was the first to suggest an immediate return to the planet "Iserlon" to rendezvous with the Frontier Fleet and the remaining fleets of the Frontier Fleet, because the Empire was already completely inferior in the comparison of existing forces, and urgently needed all forces in a hurry to carry out a mobile defense.

Including Adolphina? Steinmetz included: "Mao? Marsh? Many of the officers of the East Squadron preferred to stay and control the space around the planet Yi, so that they would have a solid record in this battle.

At this moment, a hospital ship of the Immortal Interstellar Bundeswehr "Emir? Adolph? Feng? The "Behring" intruded into the airspace where the Imperial Army was stationed, and the hospital ship was supposed to search for survivors around the planet "Yi", but the two unmanned reconnaissance ships it carried broke down at the same time, and the unmanned reporting ships were all dispatched, and as a result, they were not able to learn about the surrounding enemy situation in time.

"Immediately detain it, send out the interstellar marines, and prepare to board the ship!" In the communication meeting, Jiang Ziyue immediately gave an order.

"But Colonel Jiang, the other party is a hospital ship, and we are still subject to the Geneva Conventions?" Adolphina? Colonel Steinmetz reminded that she did not agree with Jiang Ziyue's approach.

"Now, I can't care so much!" Jiang Ziyue looked a little anxious: "This time it will be carried out by my people, so let's get here first!" ”

After Jiang Ziyue finished speaking, he quickly cut off the communication, and instead ordered the "Zheng He" fleet to round up the "Belin".

The unarmed hospital ship "Behring" complied with the request of the Imperial Army and stopped for inspection, but the captain Dwight? Captain Decker and his crew soon noticed that things were going badly.

The Imperial warships arranged a dense umbrella array, tightly surrounding it from the front of the "Behring", and there were also a large number of interstellar marines boarding the ship, and hundreds of marines wearing power armor entered through the various hatches of the spaceship, and quickly controlled the various departments of the spaceship.

As soon as a large group of people boarded the ship, they immediately rushed into the bridge (central control room), and the leader lifted the heavy armored hood, and introduced himself in a cold tone:

"I am the commander of the 'Zheng He' fleet of the border fleet under the command of the Senate and the Roman people, Colonel Jiang Ziyue, I want to see your captain!"

Dwight? Captain Dyck grabbed the safety buckle, stood up from the console, and said, "I'm Captain Dwight?" Captain, Colonel, this is the hospital ship 'Emir?' Adolph? Feng? Belin', your army is obliged to abide by the Geneva Conventions and to give us full protection and respect......"

"Captain, don't mention any covenants to me, I'm here for law and order, for your life and death!" Jiang Ziyue said as he raised the high-power particle emitter on his right arm and aimed it at Captain.

Dekker and everyone in the room were taken aback.

However, Jiang Ziyue continued:

"Before coming here, I led my brethren to attack the planet 'Midgard', surrounded the planet 'Andromoda', destroyed the planet 'Atlantis', made her uninhabitable again, your people gave me the nickname 'Star Destroyer', and I slaughtered even my own people in my own homeland, the planet 'New Rhine', for the sake of victory!"

This series of rhetoric not only frightened the Federal Army, but even the Empire's own officers and soldiers were surprised.

Jiang Ziyue continued to shout in a threatening tone: "What is your little hospital ship and that illusory convention? So, Captain, please answer my questions honestly! ”

Dakker was frightened, but fortunately there was a radiation-proof helmet in a space suit, and everyone couldn't see his pale face clearly, but his trembling voice still came from the speaker of the space suit:

"Colonel Jiang, you also know that our hospital ship is purely on a rescue mission, and it is impossible to know the details of the military operation!"

Jiang Ziyue saw that Ma Wei had played a role, so he asked directly: "Which fleet do you belong to?" ”

"Eighth Fleet!"

"The Eighth Fleet is desperate for its life on the planet 'Aegis', and you are clearly lying when you don't save the lives there, but run so far away!" Jiang Ziyue poked the other party very dissatisfied.

"We are indeed part of the Eighth Fleet, and when we arrive on the planet 'Aegis' at the end of March, we will assign it to the 'Robb' Task Force and follow us to fight here!" ”

"You're fighting here!"

"Not to mention combat, there aren't many ships of your army here, we only caught two scientific research ships!"

"You have captured the expedition!" Jiang Ziyue's tone looked very disappointed.

"Yes, now they're probably sent to the planet 'Aegis'!" 's voice had returned to normal, and he looked a little smug.

But Jiang Ziyue then asked: "What about the 'Robb' task force?" ”

"Standard time, after they left on the 17th, we don't know where they went!" replied helplessly: "You also know, the authority of the hospital ship ......"

"The commander of the task force left you here to search and rescue, without instructing the next move!"

hesitated, he really didn't know the whereabouts of the "Robb" task force, but he also made it clear that the instructions Robb gave him at that time would probably reveal the whereabouts of the task force.

Jiang Ziyue shook his right arm and reminded: "Please don't hesitate, Captain, the life and death of you and your people are decided on your mouth!" ”

"Alright! Colonel, Colonel Robb wants us to fly into your country after completing the search and rescue work! ”

"Pass us all the scheduled rendezvous coordinates that your ship has obtained!"

"This ......"

"There's a limit to my patience, Captain!" Jiang Ziyue spoke viciously.

Faced with this man with a heinous war record in the past, had to choose to give in and sent Jiang Ziyue the coordinates of all the scheduled rendezvous points between the hospital ship and the "Robb" task force.

Although this would not pose much danger to the "Robb" task force, Jiang Ziyue could easily deduce the route of its march by virtue of the distribution of these predetermined coordinates.

Jiang Ziyue achieved his goal and said to with satisfaction: "Captain, your attitude and behavior are admirable, and after my people have searched it, they will allow you to leave!" ”

With that, he put on his protective hood and turned back.

shouted from behind: "Colonel, you have seriously violated the Convention, and you have set a dangerous precedent!" ”

Jiang Ziyue ignored it, turned on the propulsion device of the power armor, and accelerated away from the central control room of the "Behring".
