121 Pyrrhic victory
"The Big Victory".
When Yang Wei saw the headline headline, he was a little mixed.
How did you win big?
The 3rd, 4th, and 6th Ship Regiments lost more than 150 ships, more than 40 main warships, and 63,042 dead men.
Here are deaths, not casualties.
The warship did not have a chance to board the rescue pod at all.
In this battle, the 4th Ship Regiment, which Gutun Maha originally controlled, was the most damaged.
It's almost scrapped!
If it weren't for the fact that the 6th Ship Regiment was also under the control of Gutun Maha at this stage, Gutun Maha would have become the weakest warlord in the wind.
More than 7,000 people were killed and wounded by the royal guards, and this casualty was also extremely heavy.
More than 16,000 civilians were killed and wounded, which was also a data that Yang Wei did not expect, but fortunately, most of them were injured.
Yang Wei clicked on the title of the article and looked at it, and there were words praising merit and virtue everywhere, making it clear that it was a notice issued by the royal family.
He picked up his watch and made a voice call out.
"Boss," Ritsu's voice cleared, "please instruct."
"Take the headlines down for me! The title was changed to "National Disaster"! Clip out the pictures of the soldiers who died on the battlefield and put them up, and put the pictures of the victims being killed!"
Yang Wei scolded:
"It's also a special singing and dancing! A bunch of aristocratic waste!"
"Yes, boss."
The voice hangs up immediately.
In the prison car escorting Yang Wei, several heavily armed prison guards looked at each other.
They don't know the specifics of this war yet, and at the moment they are just on a mission to pick up a "prisoner who can't do anything offensive" to serve his sentence in their prison.
Yin Landoxing's original military prison has been abandoned.
- Military personnel who have not committed a crime will be imprisoned in Yin Lan Duoxing.
The prison where Yang Wei was sent was an ordinary prison on the outskirts of Yin Landuo City, and a sign was temporarily hung on the ground floor of the prison and changed to Yin Landuo Military Prison.
He will be the only prisoner on this level.
In the smoothly gliding prison car, a prison guard couldn't help but whisper, "Sir, what did you do?"
Yang Wei smiled: "Battlefield disobedience."
"This is not the time to be shot...... Oh, I'm sorry sir."
"It's okay, my relationship is harder."
Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders, cocked Erlang's legs and began to close his eyes to recuperate.
At this stage, Yin Landoxing's internal and external environment is extremely complex.
The space battle ended ten hours ago, and the palace cannon fired only one shot, and the New Federation's 7th Voyage Ship Regiment paid a terrible price for twenty-five warships.
Of course, being able to string up sugar gourds is also due to the constant mobilization of the layout and forcing the enemy ships into a narrow area.
This super-large anti-ship planetary gun has no chance to fire a second shot.
The 7th Voyage Ship Regiment of the New Federation desperately broke through, and the 9th Voyage Ship Regiment also tore a hole in the defense line of the Sherman Empire Expeditionary Corps at all costs.
In this campaign, the 7th Voyage Ship Regiment of the New Federation lost 890 warships of various types, and the 9th Voyage Ship Regiment lost 25 warships, and the estimated number of soldiers lost by the New Federation reached 86,000.
The Sherman Empire expeditionary ship regiment lost more than 40 warships and 32,524 men.
This is indeed a great victory, nothing more than a great victory for the Sherman Empire.
Again, this is the most humiliating defeat of the new federation in recent decades.
This war has not ended, but has changed from a warship to a struggle for international discourse.
The Sherman Empire hyped up the Battle of the Falling Wind within the Empire.
The 721 Expeditionary Corps has achieved a major victory rarely seen in recent years, and even His Majesty the Emperor is alarmed and is about to make a public commendation.
That's the chance for the wind to fall.
Ritsu and Edwan's intelligence team worked at full speed, and the Fallwind fleet suffered heavy losses
"Victory is based on the heroic struggle of the Sherman soldiers and the fearless sacrifice of the fallen soldiers" as the core keywords, creating public opinion in the Sherman Empire in order to reap more benefits in the future.
Under Yang Wei's arrangement, Law sorted out the battlefield-related information as quickly as possible;
Edwang urgently contacted the officials of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau, and gave a mature diplomatic attack.
Before the new federation could come to its senses, a diplomatic offensive and defensive battle began that would affect most of the galaxy.
As an invader, Luofeng took more than 20 younger brothers from the Sherman Empire camp and began to criticize the "invasion war" of the new Federation.
The new federation quickly began to fight back, constantly controlling and guiding public opinion, beautifying itself as carrying out anti-terrorist operations, and discrediting the Falling Wind Empire as a petri dish.
Falling Wind's diplomatic team argues with each other, using the more popular social media and portals in the galaxy to continuously publish a series of evidence.
The main evidence includes:
the trajectory of the new federal agent who carried out the terrorist attack, the relevant surveillance video, the entire implementation of the terrorist attack plan, and the video of the agent's life in the new federal territory;
The direct attack of the new Federation attack boats on the old emperor in the speech, the fleet commander gave a clear "fire" order;
Captured by the new Union ground forces, abandoned by the fleet, recounted the orders they had received.
Among them, the most passive evidence of the new federation is the image of the new federation's ground forces abusing and killing civilians.
Let the most ugly evidence of the New Federation - the cannon of the Falling Wind Palace has killed the New Federation's long-distance fleet.
The video of this cannon has gone viral all over the galaxy.
The Falling Wind Empire became an instant hit.
The diplomatic offensive and defensive battles did not last a few hours.
Seeing that the new federation is about to lose completely, the new federation has sacrificed their killer weapon.
Titles.
They began to delete relevant information on a large scale and directly sanitize the galactic network.
The official account of the Falling Wind Empire was banned;
Millions of ordinary accounts in Luofeng have been banned.
On the interstellar network, Luofeng was directly covered in the mouth.
And it turns out that the citizens of the new federation are not freedom fighters, and when their national reputation and interests are damaged, most of them remain silent, and a small part of them continue to defend and smear.
Seven hours after the war, the Falling Wind Empire formally filed a lawsuit against the New Federation with the Galactic Interstellar Tribunal.
This indictment will inevitably lead to nothing, but it will allow Luofeng to stand firm.
This righteousness can allow the Falling Wind Empire to receive the spiritual support of most of the small and medium-sized countries in the interstellar world, and it can also get more material support from the Sherman Empire.
As for the country of Luofeng, it is now full of excitement, and anti-new federation has broken out in various places***.
Although the surging public opinion has added a lot of unstable factors, in Yang Wei's view, this is at least a hundred times stronger than the indifference and numbness of the people, and it is more conducive to his follow-up actions.
At this moment, Yang Wei was thinking about two main problems in the prisoner car.
One is how to deal with the aftermath and let the military fleet under his control quickly recover.
The other is what to do with the captives of the new Federation.
"These captives must not stay in Downwind."
Yang Wei's eyes became a little sharp.
Several prison guards on the opposite side were inexplicably a little flustered.
Yang Wei thought about it, took out the shielding device, wrapped himself in a soundproof light curtain, and used the special communication method of the watch to dial a video call to Edwang.
Edwan is on a spaceship, presumably on his way back to Yinlando.
"Woo, I'm going to save you!"
Edwan frowned:
"Don't worry, if the military doesn't agree to release you, I'll have my father sign a pardon.
"You are the hero who saved this country! The first shot will surely go down in the annals of the wind!"
Yang Wei said, "No, I want to be clean in prison for a while and think about people
life and philosophy."
Edwan was a little speechless.
The second prince looked haggard at the moment, and his eyes were full of tiredness.
"Edwan," Yang asked in a low voice, "You know what you should be doing now, right?"
"Mourn the dead, compassionate the soldiers, and encourage the people," Edwang said in a low voice, "I will try my best to give more material help to the families of the fallen soldiers, and I will also build a martyr's cemetery."
"No," Yang said, "you're going back to the Sherman Empire now."
"Why?"
"It's enough to condense what you should do, mourning, and mourning into a televised speech, and leave the rest to your subordinates. No matter how much they are rewarded, it is better to give them more pensions and arrange for social welfare agencies to take care of their families."
Yang Wei reminded:
"Take those captives, and the captured New Federation assault boats, and send them to Sherman as gifts...... What martial Sherman nobleman would refuse to capture the new Union military insignia? Don't forget, the Sherman Empire still retains slavery in some areas."
"Oh, this ......"
Edwan hesitated.
Yang Wei said quickly:
"The only way to stop the New Federation from continuing its attacks on us is for the Sherman Empire to exert strong pressure on them.
"How can you guarantee now that the new Federation will not retaliate against us directly by force again? Even if they are afraid of the cannons under the palace and dare not come to Yin Landor Star, what about our other administrative stars?"
"Okay, I'll get ready for a TV presentation right away!"
Edwan whispered:
"Earl Williams left two formations to guard nearby, and I'm going to get in touch with them."
"Leave those dozens of captured Special Forces members behind," Yang said, "and I'll execute them secretly after interrogating them."
Edwang said, "You can decide on this, and I'll let General Felimon contact you directly later."
Yang Wei paused, and then said, "I have already asked Gutun Maha to send people to put your brother under house arrest, since he likes the second administrative star, let him stay there." Next, I will integrate the Falling Wind Army, the methods will be a little bloody, and there is no need for those generals who are watching the battle to continue to exist."
Edwang stared at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei calmly looked at Edwang.
Soon, Edwan frowned and asked, "Do you want to be emperor?" Huh?"
"We know each other, and our goals at this stage should be the same," Yang Wei smiled, "We are all the same, and we are not interested in the throne."
Edwan smiled bitterly.
He didn't know how Yang Wei did it.
But now, the reins around the country's neck are obviously in Yang Wei's hands.
Yang Wei was about to hang up the communication.
Edwan suddenly asked, "By the way, my father doesn't seem to be able to control the cannons under the palace...... What the hell is going on?"
Yang Wei blinked: "It should be an automatic counterattack device, I don't know much about this anti-ship system, it should be its system detects a huge threat, and then automatically fires the cannon, a gift from your ancestors to this country."
"Father might have to dig up the mountain, and he really will."
"Don't worry," Yang Wei said, "His Majesty the Emperor can't find anyone who can help him with this work, you should think about how to mourn the deceased."
"Alas, may their heroic spirits rest in peace."
Yang Wei sighed softly, hung up the communication, and put the brooch-sized shield back into his pocket.
Several prison guards opposite him had already received the laser gun behind their backs at this moment, and when they saw Yang Wei looking over, they suddenly showed a somewhat flattering smile.
Of course, the prison guards didn't hear what Yang Wei said just now.
But they saw the projection of His Highness Edwang, and the demeanor of both sides when Yang Wei spoke to His Highness Edwang.
This young officer is a confidant of His Royal Highness Edwan?
Judging from the change in the demeanor of the two when they were talking, it was His Royal Highness Edwan a few times
Speechless and helpless, the young officer in front of him has always been calm and full of confidence.
When getting out of the car, the guards quickly pulled the car door.
Just as they were about to inform the warden, there was a sudden sound of neat stamping in front of them.
Two rows of escort soldiers saluted in front.
Lieutenant Colonel Ace stood in front with a helpless face, and after seeing Yang Wei, he smiled a little.
"Oh, my old sir," Yang Wei sighed in a slightly exaggerated tone, "I didn't expect you to welcome me here."
Lieutenant Colonel Ace whispered, "This is probably the most outrageous order I've ever received in my life."
"What order?"
"General Felimon asked me to accompany you to prison," Lieutenant Colonel Ace smiled bitterly, "I will be on duty here for the next six months to protect you throughout the whole process."
Yang Wei looked at Ace's bitter gourd face, couldn't help but laugh a few times, and hooked up with the noble lieutenant colonel.
"It's not a bad errand, trust me, it won't take you half a month to fall in love here...... What about the warden?"
"In the back, do you want him to come over?"
Yang Wei smiled: "I have a decoration plan here, let him decorate the bottom layer for me within a week, of course, I won't let him spend money."
Lieutenant Colonel Ace lowered his voice and asked, "Is it true?" You ordered your cruiser to fire first? Now the news is spreading everywhere in the army."
"Why else would I want to serve my sentence here?"
"Oh, you're ...... It's crazy, it's the invincible ships of the New Federation!"
"Invincible? They have been defeated."
Yang Wei pouted slightly:
"Soon there will be a strong group of ships in the downwind. And Lieutenant Colonel Ace, you know what?"
"Huh?"
"In my opinion, what this country lacks most today is not advanced equipment, but the courage to show its sword in the face of the strong."
Yang Wei patted Ace's shoulder:
"The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road, and that's the only reason why we can win this time."
Lieutenant Colonel Ace was stunned and looked at Yang Wei's back as he slowly walked forward.
His figure formed a strong color contrast with the gray prison gate in front of him, which made Lieutenant Colonel Ace's nerves touch slightly.
Yang Wei: ......
Watching more TV series is also beneficial.
At least you can use your lines to make some poisonous chicken soup.
……
Half a day later.
Edwan began his post-war speech, which received a frightening number in viewership, with half of the people of the Downwind Empire tuning in directly to the speech.
Yin Landoxing began to build a martyr's cemetery and a war memorial park.
Two days later.
The Sherman Empire began a military exercise called deterrence.
Twelve regiments of long-distance ships, 1,600 warships of various types, and two dreadnoughts appeared in front of the border monument of the new federation, and the barrels of their guns were aimed at the borders of the new federation.
The new federation chose to avoid war.
Emperor *** might, no two for a while.
Three days later, the Sherman Empire announced that the third heir to the throne would lead a delegation to visit the Falling Wind Empire, and the Sherman Empire would give away a number of semi-retired main warships to the Falling Wind Empire for free.
The two sides intend to re-sign a military alliance contract, and if Luofeng is attacked, the Sherman Emperor's *** regiment will support unconditionally.
That's the value of this battle.
However, Yang Wei, who was sitting in a single cell and reading the newspaper leisurely, encountered several new troubles one after another.
"Valkyrie has been caught, boss...... Also, the old emperor has already moved his mind to summon you, and he should pardon you, which is completely contrary to our plan."
Yang Wei had a little headache: "Law, isn't there some good news?"
"Lady Salul has been removed, and the new Federation has abandoned its plan to target Falling Wind, and has removed the remaining agents in Falling Wind, leaving only some of the intelligence personnel."
"Made! dealt with this group of federal elders, and sure enough
It's a cannon that works! When they say we have weapons of mass destruction, we'd better really have!"
Yang Wei waved the electronic newspaper in his hand.
"Report me in detail from the Valkyrie."
