Chapter 530: Winning Thousands of Miles Away
Through the porthole of the space battleship Heian, people in the bridge could see that there was a clearly visible crack on the orange-red alien star that came into view, like a battle mark.
That's Warscar Canyon.
As people stared at it with different eyes, a distinct cluster of light emerged from it.
Thousands of miles away, the light cluster was not dazzling, but it made people feel extremely excited.
At this time, nearly a month has passed since Ji Xinghe was bombarded by the empire with nuclear weapons for the second time and suffered the baptism of nuclear explosion for the third time.
The battle in the Scar Canyon has finally reached the stage of using nuclear weapons.
Little Ivan, from Xiongzhou, under the authorization of the South Heavenly Gate and under the orders of Kentwiss, succeeded in the location closest to the Imperial Leap Base in the Warscar Canyon, and exploded.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Imperial troops were turned into dust, and even the regular-level Imperial mechas, as well as various ordnance, were completely inadequate in front of this nuclear weapon.
All of them are liquid, and then solidified, and there is no longer the same shape.
"How's the situation with the Independence Regiment?"
Su He, who was standing beside Ji Xinghe, looked at the alien star that was getting smaller and smaller in his sight, as well as the light cluster that had disappeared, and asked curiously.
His authority was not enough for him to obtain information on the battle situation in the first place. This function of the 'political commissar' of the independent regiment, with his return to the alien planet with Ji Xinghe, is gone, and there is only one major rank left.
"It's okay, they retreated in time."
Ji Xinghe, who was wearing a helmet, had already seen some of the latest battle information through the picture displayed on the visual window.
What he was most concerned about was the independent regiment responsible for breaking into the hinterland of the empire's occupied territory, with superior mecha troops, cooperating with the attack of the main force, and the fire support of the Federation.
The Independent Regiment succeeded in obtaining the approximate location of the Empire's jump base in the Canyon of War Scars, and was the last Federation force to retreat from the nuclear blast area.
As for whether this 'Little Ivan' can destroy the Empire's jump base, it is almost impossible from a theoretical point of view.
The Empire knew that the Federation had nuclear weapons, so how could it not build a nuclear attack defense base for the jump base?
If you smash a nuclear weapon, you can destroy the Empire's jump base, and this battle will not be fought now.
"That's good." Su He analyzed it with his experience and what he had learned in the last two years.
"As long as the Independent Regiment is still there, then there will be no problem with the war in the Warscar Canyon after that, nuclear weapons will definitely be able to destroy the Empire's defense line in the Warscar Canyon, and the remaining nuclear radiation will also allow the Empire's regular forces to invest more resources than before in order to survive and participate in the war.
Their individual soldier input has always been inferior to ours, and they only relied on better physical fitness to support themselves, playing the tactics of rapid consumption and rapid replenishment. Now that our regular forces are at the top of our game, the Empire should be heavily engaged in mechs in Warscar Canyon.
We have independent regiments, as well as regular forces to support and respond, build positions and constantly compress their space in the Scar Canyon, and sooner or later we can defeat the Empire's jump base in the Scar Canyon.
Moreover, Dongguo Cilian said before that a nuclear explosion can have an impact on the Jump Gate, and Little Ivan's yield is very large, if it can affect the Empire's large Jump Gate in the Battle Scar Canyon, then there won't be too many troops in the Battle Scar Canyon......"
Ji Xinghe looked at Su He with some surprise.
Su He said with some embarrassment: "I'm just talking about it, I'm idle anyway." ”
Ji Xinghe was noncommittal.
If you really want to talk about strategic vision, or even tactical-level combat plans, Ji Xinghe is actually not good.
His tactics are very similar to Xiang Yu, who was called the overlord in Longzhou in ancient times: the main general is the first to break through the formation, and his subordinates follow him.
In contrast, Tu Yuan really has strategic-level military literacy, some like Han Xin, another famous general who defeated Xiang Yu at that time, although he can't fight, he can strategize and win thousands of miles away.
Therefore, he actually doesn't have much say in Su He's analysis, and Su He is very right, and it is indeed a little boring now.
In the bridge that is the command center of the space battleship, in addition to Ji Xinghe and Su He, there are only six people who are really responsible for controlling this space battleship, including Xie Rui, the captain.
The Ping'an, which was originally staffed with similar staff, was transferred away before Ji Xinghe left.
In addition to the fact that the alien is still short of people, it is also because they don't want to go back.
Six people is the minimum configuration to operate this space battleship, and there are three mechanics among them, under normal circumstances, they should not actually stay on the bridge, but there is no problem with the Ping'an, which has been overhauled in the Gods Mountain Theater, so they all want to stay by Ji Xinghe's side.
Moreover, at this time, the widest position of the Ping An was the bridge, and as long as there was space for things in other places, it was almost full, almost reaching the maximum weight of the Ping An.
Theoretically, this shouldn't be the case, and it is impossible for a weight to take up so much space.
But the problem is that the metal boxes carried by the Ping An do not match the size and weight.
They're light, and they're heavy.
"Grandpa."
When the bridge hatch opened, Ji Rong Xinyue shouted and walked in step by step.
She walked very slowly, because it was a little laborious to lift her feet, and the shoes with magnetic attraction function were the reason why she was able to walk in a weightless environment, and it was also the reason why Su He was able to stand beside Ji Xinghe.
"Can I not wear these shoes, I want to fly around."
Ji Rong Xinyue's requirements are very much in line with her current age, eight years old.
"Nope."
Ji Xinghe rejected Ji Rong Xinyue's request, and said softly: "When your feet are off the ground, you will become a rootless Ping, you ......"
"Okay, okay, don't be verbose, grandpa, I know."
Ji Rong Xinyue, who had already walked to Ji Xinghe's side, waved her hand like an adult, but this made her more like a child.
After leaving Alien, her mood was much happier than before, and it didn't have anything to do with going home, her home had nothing to do with Azure Star, just because she didn't have to worry about Ji Xinghe's safety anymore.
"Okay, grandpa won't be long-winded." Ji Xinghe's mood also looks good.
"Are you busy right now?" Ji Rong Xinyue asked again: "If you're not busy, teach us to practice kung fu, everyone is very excited, and they can't sit still at all." ”
"Not busy."
Ji Xinghe took Ji Rong Xinyue's hand, hesitated for a moment or asked her to temporarily turn off the magnetic function of the shoes, so Ji Rong Xinyue flew up beside Ji Xinghe.
It's more appropriate to say that it's floating around.
Su He didn't follow, he still stayed in the bridge to continue working, he was still a war correspondent, and there was still a lot of material to sort out and edit.
The documentary "The Old Man and the Sea of Stars" has been updated to the twenty-fourth issue, which is an average of one update per month.
At present, it has become the favorite documentary of people on the blue star.
Compared with other military documentary programs with strong didactic significance, "The Old Man and the Sea of Stars", which always has some words and stories, is undoubtedly more popular with people.
Xie Rui, who was also bored, came to Su He's side.
"Lao Su, we've known each other for so long, when will you arrange for me to make a show?"
"Didn't you appear a long time ago, when Lao Ji went to save the Heart Moon Fox before."
"You also know that it's the Heart Moon Fox, I'm the captain of the Ping An now, not the captain of the Heart Moon Fox, of course I'm going to appear again."
"But...... You have no deeds to speak of. ”
"Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, and there are so many earth-shattering things like war. I think ordinary deeds can move people's hearts more. ”
"Hehe, everyone is born ordinary, living and ordinary, how can we be happy with the ordinary? What people are looking forward to has always been magnificent and climactic. ”
"Then I have it too, I violated the military order at the time to save Lao Ji, why don't you cut it for me?"
"I sent that part back, but they didn't cut it into the show, and you can't look for me. Besides, do you really want the whole Federation to know about your disobedience to military orders? ”
"This ......"
Xie Rui gave up.
He actually didn't mind, but the problem was that the impact of this matter was very bad, even if it was to save Ji Xinghe.
Needless to say, Xie Rui saw that among the materials compiled by Su He, there was the final fortress used by Ji Xinghe when he underwent the baptism of nuclear explosion last time, so he spoke out with some regret.
"I thought that this time Major Shen Mu could go back with us, I always wanted to have a good chat with him, and ask him how he came up with those words."
"Nonsense?"
"Yes, there must be no other gods except Ji Xinghe, this sentence is too sassy."
"Indeed. In fact, he can go back with us, the Federal Academy of Sciences said that he would go back to study, but he was unwilling to go back, and he also applied to go to the Gods Mountain Theater from Base 6. ”
Hearing this, Xie Rui fell silent again.
He didn't really want to go back, but as the captain of the Peace, it was useless for him to stay when the Federation didn't have a superfluous space warship to command him, and it was impossible for him to become a real captain in a short period of time.
"It's not like you're going to stay in Azure Star for just a few months." Su He said understandingly: "Send us back, you come back with all the supplies, you are doing the same thing." ”
The Ping An is a space battleship, although the transformation is not comprehensive, and it is difficult to directly participate in the war, but it is definitely impossible to stay in the Azure Star and wait for the Ji Xinghe.
This return is essentially a delivery mission.
After returning to Azure Star, it can also be comprehensively transformed based on the fact that Azure Star is more powerful than Alien Planet, as well as its industrial capacity, as well as resources, so that this original Imperial Space Battleship can truly become a Space Battleship of the Federation.
Then load up the supplies and return to the alien planet to participate in the battle.
"I just don't know how many of them were still there when I came back."
With a sigh from Xie Rui, silence fell in the bridge.
More than four months is not a long time, but for many people, it is eternal life that can never be seen again.
…………
When Ji Xinghe was left alone with Ji Rong Xinyue, Ji Rong Xinyue finally said what she wanted to say.
"Grandpa, when will Xingyue come back?"
"I'll be back in a few days, she's doing things."
"Okay."
Ji Rong Xinyue didn't ask Xingyue what she was doing, she actually knew, because Xingyue had told her.
Not much, just three things.
But because the Ping An is sailing towards the Azure Star, the communication delay is getting higher and higher, so Xingyue cannot appear next to Ji Rong Xinyue at any time, and can only communicate with normal communication.
This made Ji Rong Xinyue, who was used to Xingyue by her side, happy and a little unhappy at the same time.
The grandfather and grandson arrived at a cabin where there were more than a hundred adults in addition to the children.
They were all soldiers who had been discharged from their wounds, and although they wanted to stay on the alien planet, they couldn't.
When the Federation's carrier spacecraft returned to Azure Star from the alien planet, in addition to carrying a large number of alien resources, it was these wounded people who carried the most.
There were people like Han Li who went back normally before, but with the tension of the alien war, it has been more than half a year, and no one in good health has applied for leave, or returned to Azure Star to receive commendations and so on.
They all knew that if they went back once every few years, as they had done before, they might never be able to go back.
When Ji Xinghe came in with Ji Rong Xinyue, some of these retired soldiers were playing with the children, some were wearing helmets or virtual reality glasses, immersed in the virtual world and didn't know what they were doing, and some were exercising......
Noticing that Ji Xinghe came in, everyone stood up and saluted, but because many of them were in a state of weightlessness, the posture looked a little weird.
But it's not funny at all.
They were very serious, but Ji Xinghe didn't return the salute, just nodded lightly and emphasized again: "There is no need for this. ”
Only in this way will they get used to not having to stand up and salute every time they see Ji Xinghe.
The two-month voyage is a long time, and the space for the Ping'an to move around is very small, so it is really unnecessary to meet many times a day.
But the retired soldiers felt that it was necessary, and before they were discharged, they were all incorporated into the sequence of the remnant company, and it seemed that the Federation had given up their order, but it was their closest chance to the independent regiment.
Unfortunately, they didn't make it through.
But now that Ji Xinghe is in front of him, how could they give up such an opportunity?
"General, I did 12,000 push-ups today, breaking the record of the whole army, I think I can do it, do you want to transfer me to the independent regiment."
"What the did in the weightlessness of space, and you broke the military record? It's good to have a face. ”
"What's wrong with the weightless environment, it takes strength to do push-ups in a weightless environment, if you don't accept it, you can also do 12,000 push-ups for me."
"If I still have hands, I'd have to do 20,000 push-ups for you."
"Hehe, I can't do push-ups without hands, I don't have legs anymore."
Ji Xinghe, the general, is not majestic, and he can be regarded as a general step by step from a big soldier, so although people respect him, they will not be too alienated because of respect.
This is also what Ji Xinghe wants to see.
No hands, no feet, this physical mutilation, did not sink their will, it was really good.
"I'll choose people, and when I return to another planet, I'll choose people from among you and more of you to join the independent group. So, if you have an idea, don't give up on yourself when you go back, it doesn't matter if you don't have hands and feet, as long as you can adapt to the neural link technology, you can also become a mecha warrior......"
Ji Xinghe told another white lie.
He didn't know what was going on, the higher the rank and influence, the more lies he had to tell.
And more often than not, the lies he said are known to everyone, such as the lie he just said.
Neural link technology is indeed capable of driving mechs for people with crippled limbs, and the blind and lame are among the best among them, and their mechanical prostheses are no longer useful when piloting mechas.
However, the level of synchronization rate is very critical, and when mecha are still scarce, high synchronization rate has become the most basic condition for the selection of a new generation of mecha warriors.
Some of the 300,000 mecha warriors currently on duty in the Federation have not yet piloted mecha because of this, and they may completely lose the opportunity to drive mecha to fight.
As long as the active mechs of the Federation have all completed the outfit upgrade, then they will be ruthlessly eliminated.
But this kind of lie that people know is well known, but no one debunks it, and the people who have been deceived are like holding on to the straw floating on the water when they are drowning, and they are full of hope for it.
After Ji Xinghe chatted with the adults, he began to take the children to practice.
The weightless environment of space made the children very uncomfortable, but their willpower was so strong that the retired soldiers who thought they had strong willpower were shocked.
Time passed day by day, and Ji Xinghe left the alien planet, but the legend he left behind still inspired people to participate in this war between the Federation and the Empire with the belief of victory.
When the space battleship Ping An had already crossed 25 million kilometers in space.
An encrypted message was transmitted to Ji Xinghe, and in the third minute after that, Ji Xinghe learned a message through normal channels.
Kentwis, who commanded the Warscar Canyon Theater and achieved major victories, was about to officially become the new commander-in-chief of the Federation the day before he was about to officially become the new commander-in-chief of the Federation.
He's dead.
The cause of death was heart palsy, which looked like a sudden illness, but everyone knew that his death was not so simple.
There is no murderer, not even evidence of Kenteves's murder, but as long as many people feel that he should not die like this, and his death will damage the interests of many people, then he must be a victim.
And the perpetrator must be the biggest vested interest.
Tu Yuan became the target of public criticism for a while, and even the Federation Continent was also affected, and the federal military, which had achieved many victories, was in chaos for a while.
Li Anbang, who had just completed the handover work, failed to get on the ship that was going to take him home as scheduled.
Except for him, no one can control the situation of the Federation on the alien planet under such circumstances, and at the same time not let the chaos expand, but also continue to expand the results of the war.
Tu Yuan can't do it, he is now hovering between cool and not, it is possible to become the new commander-in-chief, or it is possible to be directly cold.
So he scolded in his heart: this old horseman is simply reckless and stupid.
There is another person who is also scolding, but not in his heart, but directly scolding.
Li Yuanba said angrily to Xingyue: "You did such a big thing without consulting me?" Is Ji Xinghe crazy, or are you crazy? Yes, I said it, but it shouldn't be done at this time, it's stupid to the extreme......"
Xingyue didn't bother to argue with Li Yuanba, and she didn't want to explain the information she had obtained about Kentwiss and the Toptop Organization, and there was no evidence to say it, so there was no power in words.
It's like this matter, as long as there is no evidence, it's my lord's business?
No one can connect this matter with Ji Xinghe, which is thousands of miles away, and neither can Li Yuanba.
So Xingyue asked rhetorically: "What are you talking about, I don't understand, if you say something like this that I don't understand, I'll go back to Azure Star." ”
