Wings of the Starry Sky Two Hundred Zero One, the Empire's number one enemy

The main text is two hundred and one, the number one enemy of the empire

"To be precise, to be prepared for a total evacuation of the Siberian system, which is a measure that needs to be taken in the worst-case scenario, but we had to prepare in advance so as not to be caught off guard and cause significant damage." A woman walked over and took Risen in time.

"Madame," "Madame." Risson, Sonia, and Colonel Taylor bowed slightly.

"I heard that it's because the headquarters in the Siberian system has been discovered by the Imperial Army?" As soon as Risen raised his head, Risen immediately asked eagerly.

"Yes, unfortunately, the intelligence has been confirmed." The lady nodded with a heavy face, the smile on her face that had disappeared from the previous award.

"It's a shame that so." Risen didn't seem too surprised, he had this premonition as early as when Mrs. Elmeda explained to him the reason for the attack on the Pearl Harbor base, he just felt regretful, he didn't expect that so soon, his premonition would become a reality.

"An important reason why you mentioned that you launched a life-and-death line combat operation is to fully integrate our forces, form a group of stars controlled by the alliance, win a strategic buffer space, and gain more time and space to resist the invasion of the Empire, and maybe even make the Empire abandon the attack on Siberia, and now that the order to prepare for evacuation is issued so quickly, it seems that things are not going as we expected." He said in frustration.

"It's a shame indeed, Risson, but that's why this battle of the Shangri-La galaxy would be so important if we hadn't launched it in time. If it weren't for your efforts to destroy Pearl Harbor, which was the base for advancement, it is estimated that the Empire would have directly launched a general attack on the Siberian galaxy by now, and even if we could get an early warning, although we could evacuate all the personnel in such a short period of time, the production lines, equipment, docks, and large quantities of materials stored here would not have been able to be evacuated in time anyway. These are vital resources for us to continue our rebellion against the Empire. If destroyed. That would be a great loss to our business, and even if we could rebuild, it would take years. ”

"The destruction of the Pearl Harbor base, while not the best we had envisioned, was precious, more important than the vast amount of supplies destroyed and the large number of Imperial warships and warplanes destroyed in this operation. It gives us a lot of time and space, even if the evacuation is inevitable, we can do it in an orderly manner, we can dismantle most of the production lines, we can remove as many materials as possible, so that they don't fall into the hands of the Empire, and we can save a lot of time and energy when we rebuild in the future, we can't expect everything to be smooth sailing. Frustration is inevitable sometimes. What we need to do now is to minimize the damage caused by the setback, if it is unavoidable. Mrs. Elmeida said firmly.

"But in any case, forced to evacuate the Siberian system. It's always a failure. He muttered, how nice it would be if he didn't have to evacuate?

He was suddenly taken aback by his own thoughts, if he insisted on not evacuating, it would mean that he would have to defeat the possible attack of the Imperial Army, which was no longer what they were good at taking on surprise attacks and guerrilla warfare before, but a regular battle head-on, because they had no possibility of retreating, the Siberian Galaxy, the entire Alliance headquarters was behind them, could they do it?

He lowered his head, secretly considering this possibility, the strength of the Alliance, the possible offensive strength of the Empire, the strategic buffer space obtained, and the advantage of intelligence......

"Risen ......." Seeing his sudden gaffe, Sonia secretly pulled him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am, I was thinking about something and got distracted." He was stunned for a moment, and when he saw several people staring at him curiously, he couldn't help but blush, and said embarrassedly.

"What do you think? Rissen. Mrs. Elmeida asked, not reproaching him.

"It's nothing, just thinking, it would be nice if we didn't evacuate, now we are not the weak military force of a few years ago, our current fleet is already quite strong, I heard Colonel Taylor say just now, there is another space carrier Challenger ready to be completed and put into service, then there are a total of five space carriers, I think, if we have a way to repel the attack of the Imperial Army, can't we not evacuate?" He spoke his mind.

"That's a good idea, lad, in fact, not just five, counting the Victor under construction at the Haikou shipyard, we will have six space carriers in a short time." General Martin, General Alfred, and Yao Feilun walked over, and they had noticed the conversation here.

"Six space carriers," Risen was so excited that his heart was pounding, such a powerful force, not to mention that the Thirteenth Fleet launched an attack with all its might, even if there were more imperial reinforcements, they would definitely be able to defeat it.

The general glanced at him and seemed to guess what he was thinking, however, he still shook his head and sighed, "Yes, it's very powerful, we had the same idea as you at first, but in fact, after careful analysis, the difficulty is very great, it is really not feasible, after the battle of Pearl Harbor, the only remaining Imperial Fleet in this star field group is of course not too much of a threat to us, but the Empire is also constantly building new ships, and they can also transfer troops from other star fields, The combined strength of their fleet is still far stronger than ours, even if our army's morale is higher and the quality is better, but the outcome is really difficult to predict, even if we can get lucky enough to repel the enemy's attack, the losses will be considerable, since the enemy knows the secrets of the Siberian galaxy, and may launch a second or third attack, it is impossible for the alliance to fight this kind of war of attrition with the empire, we do not have this ability at present, nor do we have the capital. ”

"I'm sorry, I thought it was too simple." Risen said ashamedly, the general's words undoubtedly poured cold water on his excited head.

"No, in fact, within the Alliance, there is also a great debate on this issue, and there are many people who insist on fighting a war to deal a head-on blow to the Empire, and maybe they will get unexpected results. But the newly obtained information prompted us to agree and resolve to prepare for the evacuation. Lady Almeda looked at the somewhat dejected young man and said gently.

"What?"

A sense of foreboding, this is definitely not good news.

"The latest intelligence indicates that the Empire is determined to repatriate most of its forces from the front line of the confrontation with the Federation to join in the purge of our army, it is estimated. Newly redeployed to the fleet. Including the strength of at least seventeen space carriers. ”

"What? Federation? It was Yao who screamed. Even Sonia, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but change her face, not only because of the huge number of troops transferred back, but also because of the word Federation, which had a close connection with them, and the connection between the Alliance and the Federation had been completely interrupted since the massive eruption of the Grim Reaper's eye. It's been almost a year now, and they've avoided mentioning it.

As for Risson, this news made him feel like a bolt from the blue, and he felt that his mind was about to freeze: there were seventeen space carriers alone, not counting the other ships, and the scale of the Imperial Army's repatriation of troops and the determination to completely destroy the Alliance could be imagined, as far as he knew, this was far beyond the Alliance's possible confrontation capabilities. Siberian galaxy. They can't stay any longer, and if they don't want the alliance to be completely wiped out in the Siberian system, they have to evacuate. There is no other way.

"And what about the Federation? With so much military power transferred at once, the Empire's front-line galactic defenses became like paper and shattered, isn't the Empire worried that the Federation will take this opportunity to attack? With such a large-scale military mobilization on the front line, it is impossible for the Federation not to know about it? What is their current reaction......" Yao Feilun asked eagerly.

"The movement of the Federation is not yet clear, and the large-scale military movement of the Imperial Army has not yet begun, but it is planned, and we have not had the opportunity to inform the Federation of intelligence, and as you know, the exchange of intelligence with the Federation has been interrupted for a long time." Mrs. Almeida said calmly, General Alfred, General Martin, and Colonel Taylor did not react too shocked, they had already known the news, and they also understood the shocked reaction of Risen and the others, because, when they first heard the ground, they were not much different from the reactions of Risen and others.

"The Empire really looks up to our Alliance, they will risk transferring most of their forces against us regardless of the danger of the Federation's attack, it seems that we have replaced the Federation and become the Empire's number one enemy." Risen smiled wryly.

"That's right, and it's said that this plan was developed by Giraud. Admiral Steve was the first to bring it up, Resson, you should remember him. ”

"Of course I do." Risen nodded, of course he couldn't forget the old man, it was this old man who changed the trajectory of his life.

"In the report he submitted, he believes that our alliance has surpassed the threat to the rule of the Empire, and the previous war between the Earth Federation and the Galactic Empire was first provoked by the Empire, and the Federation is only for self-defense, not with the goal of overthrowing the rule of the Empire and occupying the territory of the Empire, but we are different, remember the charter of the Alliance? Our goal is to point directly at the Galactic Empire, directly to the dictatorship of the Steve family, when we were weak before, we were too far away from our goal to see any hope, of course the empire will not take it to heart, but now we have the ability to achieve our goal, it is different. For the Empire, the Federation has this ability, but not the will, and we have both the will and the ability, so we have naturally replaced the Federation as the Empire's number one enemy. ”

General Martin turned his head and asked Yao Feilun with a serious face, "Lieutenant Colonel, you are Senator Yao's daughter, and you have some understanding of the politics and bureaucracy of the Federation, do you think that even if the Earth Federation knows that the Empire's frontline troops are weak, even if they know that the Empire's transfer of troops is to launch a purge against us, if the Imperial Army does not provoke, may they take the initiative to attack on the front?" ”

"This ......" the girl hesitated, not knowing what to answer.

"But the Union Army may do something about it, and Philen'.......s father and General Hamilton are also supporters of the Alliance," Sonia said, dodging the question.

"Yes, I appreciate the support of the two of them for the Alliance, but the two of them are not dictators like Steve, they do not have the right to decide the war, the decision to decide the war is in the hands of the Senate, and the Union army certainly has the right to defend itself in the event of an Imperial attack, but in the case of a greatly weakened Imperial front, I am sure that the Imperial authorities will definitely give a death order prohibiting any possible provocation, and in the current calm and calm détente of the armistice, the Senate will pass the decision on war, although it is not impossibleBut to convince enough senators, to get the support of public opinion, you need to do a lot of explanation, persuasion and other work, it is impossible in the short term, don't forget that the last armistice agreement was vigorously promoted by the anti-war faction in the Senate, and even General Hamilton and Senator Yao were helpless. ”

"And the measures that the Federation Army can take are nothing more than some diversion or feints, but as long as it does not take the initiative to start a large-scale war, I don't see how effective it can be in the face of the Empire's determination to withdraw troops from the front line on a large scale." General Martin mercilessly pointed out the essence of the problem.

"Martin, don't be too pessimistic." "This is just another low point in our career, we have survived the worst of our year in 807, when we didn't even have a single space carrier, and now our alliance is far more militarily powerful than it was then, and we are currently supported by many internal anti-imperial forces, and we have thwarted the Empire's attempts to destroy us countless times before, and this time will be no exception." ”

In a majestic, slightly deep tone, she asked in a deep voice, "Do you have faith?" Answer me. ”

"Yes, ma'am." Everyone replied loudly.

Although she was only a woman, she deserved to be the supreme leader elected by the League, and Risen looked at this lady with admiration: no matter what the difficult moment, she was always full of optimism and a firm belief in victory, and she was never discouraged. Her spirit and faith are the true soul and heart of the Resistance League. Two hundred and one, the number one enemy of the empire
