When Governor Gu was in Koroga 3, cooperating with a joint investigation team composed of personnel from various forces to investigate the disappearance of the War Apostle, in the Angry Owl Star, on the battlefield on the Western Front, there was tension in the command post of the human side.

Yan Fangxu held himself and the comrades of the staff department tightly in his hands, and spent several days and nights working out the battle plan, looking at the person sitting at the top with an ugly face.

This man is quite majestic and majestic, with a large bald head with a thick beard.

His name is Cai Minjin, he is a major general of the Imperial Astral Army, the commander of the 4th Army of the 3rd Army of the Dragon Eagle Legion, and the commander-in-chief of the Angry Owl Star from the Falcis system this time with a total of one million troops to help the Angry Owl.

The 300,000 who came first, and the 700,000 troops who were already on the way, all belonged to this Fourth Army, that is, all of them were his descendants.

A total of 25 big compilers poured out. And he himself was the first to follow the 300,000 people in the vanguard to reach the Angry Owl Star.

After seven large divisions with a total of 300,000 people landed, he led his troops to the battlefield on the Western Front, and met Yan Fangxu as soon as possible.

He knew that Yan Fangxu was the supreme commander of the so-called 'Raging Bear Legion' here, and he was also the commander of the planetary defense forces on this planet.

Then, if you want to push the war forward as soon as possible and solve the problems on this planet, of course, you have to find this one.

To put it bluntly, Cai Minjin didn't think that this battle was worth wasting his time at all.

He didn't want to come.

The Iron Man Rebellion is quite scary to say, but I heard that after fighting with those so-called Iron Man rebels, the local planetary defense forces of this angry star have won a very big victory at a very small cost.

Then Cai Minjin felt that the enemy he had to face this time was probably just like that.

Since it was arranged by the upper peak to fight, then it was enough to fight.

It's just that he doesn't intend to waste too much time here.

So, as soon as General Cai Minjin came to the front line and summoned Yan Fangxu, when the other party handed over the so-called 'battle plan', he put it aside without looking at it, and then put forward his own thoughts:

"I'm going to get big results in three weeks; In three weeks' time, the follow-up forces of our Legion should also be in place, and then they will be gathered again, and within six weeks, the rebels entrenched on your planet will be completely wiped out. I want my soldiers to be able to rush back to Fastces 2 for the New Year. ”

This group of astral troops wants to end the war as soon as possible, and Yan Fangxu certainly doesn't think there's anything bad about it. Although he felt that this General Cai was a little arrogant, if it was just a matter of attitude, it would be bearable.

People bring an army of millions to help fight the war, no matter how arrogant his attitude is, you can do it!

However, what Cai Minjin proposed next made Yan Fangxu unable to accept it.

Cai Minjin completely ignored Yan Fangxu's battle plan, and the new plan he proposed later was the most disgusting.

He completely saw himself as the commander of the coalition forces.

At the moment, the Alliance's Central Army and half of the Angry Bear Legion, totaling 270,000 troops, have basically restored the position of the defensive line before the 'Flashtail Operation'.

As for the Astral Army from Cai Minjin, the hedgehogs are basically gathered on the Central Avenue.

According to the new operational concept proposed by Cai Minjin, in a few days, the army of the alliance will launch a full-scale offensive; And his Fourth Army, on the other hand, would advance along the mainland, behind the 1st CIMC Brigade. They will support the battlefield at any time, and ensure that within two weeks, they will destroy the enemy in front of them, break through the western desert, and enter the western part of the continent.

His idea, in Yan Fangxu's opinion, is too reckless and too urgent. Do you know how many troops Blackbird Heavy Industries remobilized in a month after suffering heavy losses after Operation Flashtail? What is the distribution of these forces like?

If you don't know anything, you want to swing forward and attack in an all-out way?

And this idea is still secondary, if Cai Minjin lets his army carry out such a high-risk operation, he will at most persuade it.

However, this is clearly not what Choi Min Kim meant.

His seven large divisions did not plan to be put into the front line as soon as possible, but to advance in the back group and support them at any time.

Doesn't this mean that the army of the alliance will go to the biggest and deepest pit?

If you can go through, then you can go; If I can't get there, I'll send troops to support it depending on the situation.

When the army of the Raging Owl is cannon fodder?

Where is there such a thing?

Can...... For the most part, that's exactly what it is.

The Astral Army is considered by many to be 'cannon fodder', compared to the Space Marine Warband, the Sisters, some elite troops, and the precious Imperial Navy fleet. But in fact, the Astral Army, known as the 'Hammer of the Empire', is the Empire's main combat force on the ground battlefield.

They are outnumbered, fierce, and unafraid of sacrifice, with artillery and armor as the main force, like a determined war hammer, crushing all enemies of the Empire.

They are indeed not as flashy and cool as those special elite troops, and in many cases they are reduced to backdrops, consumables that can be consumed when creating opportunities for those elites. But this does not erase their own merits and value.

But in comparison, the Astral Army is not the lowest level of the Imperial military system, and the planetary defense force is.

Although it can't be said that all of the planetary defense forces are straw bales, there are also powerful ones, but that is always a special case. Overall, their combat effectiveness is far worse than that of the Astral Army.

Moreover, often on the battlefield where the Astral Army is needed to come to support, that is, there is a big problem on the planet, and the local planetary defense forces have not been able to solve it. In this case, the Astral Army, with its higher status, stronger strength, and identity as a savior, can always easily become the stronger side.

Although, in the strict sense of the word, there is no difference between superiors and subordinates. But in fact, according to some of the Empire's military regulations, the Astral Army does have the right to obtain the command of the local planetary forces when 'necessary'.

And although Yan Fangxu also has the identity of the commander of the Astral Army, it is obvious that the size of the Angry Bear Legion and Yan Fangxu himself is only a colonel, which is far worse than Cai Minjin, a serious imperial major general.

When the other party was determined to take this command, Yan Fangxu really didn't have any good way.

If you don't need this group of astral troops, then it's okay to say, it's just a bird, if you really want to seize power, then you have to see if you can do it.

But isn't the point that this is just begging people?

Yan Fangxu had already persuaded the other party twice, and even revised his battle plan many times. If you want to speed up, then speed up, but only use the alliance's army as cannon fodder to go to the mines, that will not work.

Before, Gu Hang and Yan Fangxu thought it was quite beautiful, and they felt that after the Astral Army came, they would hand over the main difficult battles to them to gnaw, but now it seems that they are thinking too much, and they just want to pick peaches.

So, abandon the illusion, whose life is fate, I don't want to trap you to carry the mine, everyone fights this battle normally and equally, hurry up and finish the battle, isn't this okay?

General Cai Minjin means no.

"Stop wasting my time here with all your scrap paper." Cai Minjin said, "Starting tomorrow, I require all the reconnaissance troops to set off; After four days, the offensive on all fronts must begin. ”

At this point, Yan Fangxu has given up normal means. He said, "I'm sorry, General Cai, your order conflicts with another order I received, and I can't carry it out." ”

Cai Minjin's fierce eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?" On this planet, in terms of military affairs, there are people who are heavier than my orders? Is that your governor? A brigadier general, who is not there, what qualifications does he have to command the army? ”

Speaking of this, he saw that Yan Fangxu still wanted to speak, so he simply waved his hand and interrupted: "With the Imperial Wartime Act, I now formally ask you to hand over all the troop commands to my command post, do you understand what I mean?" ”

As he spoke, he even pulled out a pistol.

He didn't say the threatening words, but the action was clear.

If necessary, he has the right to execute officers with a rank less than two of his ranks.

Yan Fangxu, the colonel, is within this range.

Yan Fangxu spread his hands, and indeed didn't speak anymore.

And at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the command post was lifted.

Cai Minjin frowned.

This place has been taken over by his guards, and no one can approach it without an order.

His gaze was fixed on Yan Fangxu again.

Is this colonel making trouble?

Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill?

Under his fierce gaze, Yan Fangxu didn't say a word.

You won't let me speak.

A moment later, the curtain on his door was lifted.

A behemoth with a short head and dressed in scarlet Terminator power armor stepped in.

Cai Minjin stood up in surprise, and forgot to take back the gun in his hand.

What did he see?

A Space Marine!

In his thirty-year military career, he and the Space Marines have only fought side by side once - it is a bit reluctant to say that they fought side by side, and that time, he can only be regarded as watching the sassy and heroic posture of others on the battlefield from afar.

The fact that there are Space Marines on the Angry Owl Star is not a secret, and Gu Hang did not deliberately hide anything.

However, after all, the current communication between the Angry Owl and the outside world is very small, and the starport has just been built, and it is still a very small port; There are no interstellar travelers either; The Star Whispering Tower of interstellar communication is only available in Gu Hang's Governor's Office in Fuxing City......

The environment is closed, and people with a heart may be able to know some things, but for people who don't pay attention to the Angry Owl at all, such as Cai Minjin, he really doesn't know that there are Space Marines active on the Angry Owl!

"General Cai?"

Cai Minjin subconsciously clasped his hands to his chest, made a sky eagle salute, and responded: "Yes...... Yes, I'm Cai Minjin, the 3rd Army of the Dragon Eagle Army Corps, Major General, may I ask what you are ......"

"The Undead Warband, Warlord, Martins Salas."

Martins also reciprocated his identity, and then said: "The command of this battle, I took over. ”

He succinctly informed Cai Minjin.

And this General Cai, there is nothing to say.

Just like the Imperial Wartime Code he mentioned earlier, the senior generals of the Astral Army can command low-level officers who are not in a system at the necessary time, as well as unify the command of the planetary defense forces on a planet, to ensure that all Imperial troops can have a unified command when facing a strong enemy and avoid chaos.

And in this case where the sequence of all levels is specified in detail, the leader of a Star Marine warband is extremely high in the sequence among all the characters.

In the sequence of the Astral Army, at least one general must be pulled out before he has the right to make suggestions; If you want to fight against the court, you have to take out the general with the rank of general; If you want to fully command a wargroup in wartime, you have to have a Marshal of the Astral Army.

Of course, rules are dead, people are alive.

In the midst of a war, when there is mutual cooperation between multiple branches of the military and multiple systems, it is up to everyone to discuss who is in charge. There is no one who has a high status just because of his status, but if there is not a soldier here, he is a bare-bones commander, and he can also rely on his rank and status to obtain actual command.

But at the moment, this is clearly not the case.

Previously, Cai Minjin could ignore Yan Fangxu because he had enough strength under him. 300,000 troops, plus 700,000 troops estimated to be able to reach the Star Harbor of the Angry Owl Star tomorrow, a total of one million people, this is his confidence.

With this confidence, plus the legal principles and status are high enough, of course he can be unscrupulous.

But now, no.

There are also hundreds of thousands of people in the local troops of the Raging Owl and the Raging Bear Legion, plus this Space Marine who came out of nowhere, but looking at the Terminator armor and the huge body, it is definitely not fake......

At this time, Cai Minjin can't win safely, whether in terms of status or strength.

……

The appearance of Martins, of course, was Yan Fangxu's handiwork.

Or rather, it was Gu Hang's handwriting.

When he left the Raging Star, he had considered the issue of military command, and he was worried that the astral army that came over would take the lead.

So, before he left, he had a deep chat with Martins and Yan Fangxu.

As a result, this is where it really comes in handy.

With Martins and thirty Space Marines in the center, there were no other waves.

The joint command post was successfully established, and Cai Minjin honestly merged his staff and the staff of the alliance army into one and began to prepare for the war.

He didn't make any trouble.

Although he had not heard of the name 'Immortal Bird', he didn't even dare to fart when thirty space marines, like thirty giant and majestic statues, stood in front of him.

However, Yan Fangxu and Martins didn't do anything like a personal vendetta.

They even fully considered Cai Minjin's desire to finish the battle as soon as possible—which in itself was also the need of the Raging Owl Star Alliance—and formulated a new plan on Yan Fangxu's previous battle plan.

A few days later, fighting resumed in the Western Desert.

600,000 human troops marched westward.

At the same time, the remaining 700,000 men of Cai Minjin's Fourth Army arrived, and they were coming down from Star Port in an orderly manner, and were expected to move to the front line of the Western Front in two to three weeks.

At that time, the number of human coalition troops will directly exceed 1.3 million people.

This battle really has to be fought quickly, otherwise, maintaining the supply of such a large army will also be a very serious challenge to the alliance's logistics system.
