Just as Marshal Rudolph, Count of Fafnir, was signing the "Covenant of Lipsiutart", events also took place in the distant Alliance of Free Planets.

This incident began with a large march on the Henisons, with countless people taking to the streets to demonstrate, shouting slogans such as "We want peace! It is estimated that millions of people took to the streets in a single day to express their "wishes".

Major General Lynch, who returned from a prisoner exchange, was quietly thrown into prison......

"Does Reinhardt von Royenkram think we are all political idiots?" said someone in the dark, "but it is still possible to use the causes and consequences ......of this campaign to motivate the people in the direction we want."

Things are moving so quickly that the parliament is being called for re-election, and the century-old national policy is also being re-examined—this time with tens of millions of casualties that have finally broken the limits for the people of the League. Some military figures have put forward the slogan of "stand on the side of the people!" The military must shoulder its responsibilities and defend democratic politics.

Under the cover of this slogan, the newly formed Second, Fourth, and Sixth Fleets took over the defense of the planet Heinisen on their own initiative, and the parliament was disbanded and the military bosses stepped forward to take temporary military control, while promising that elections would be held after a period of time to return power to the democratically elected regime, until then the "Military Council for National Salvation" would hold power.

"Whether it's a military coup d'état, a march in the streets, at least our goal, the supreme power of the country, is in hand. Then there's the manipulation of the election. Congratulations to our leader, Admiral Greenhill!"

"Everyone has a good reputation, and then I will leave the military and participate in future elections as a former soldier, so remember to cheer more. ”

Trinihilt was forced to relinquish power during this campaign, but interestingly, he disappeared next...... On April 3, some of the soldiers of Planet Neptius mutinied by force and occupied the planet, declaring their independence from the Free Planetary Alliance. The chain reaction began, and there were independent voices everywhere, but they did not occupy the mainstream. In many galaxies, there is a wave of calls for the end of military control and support for the former down-to-earth regime, and the garrisons everywhere are wavering. It wasn't until the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tryunihilt, suddenly appeared in a galaxy and declared that the current "Military Council for National Salvation" was illegal, and the chaos of the alliance began.

Yang Willy was at a loss, his Iserlohn Fortress garrison fleet had no idea which order to take, according to the official process, the previous regime was overthrown by the popular movement, but "military control" was a reality. As far as Yang Weili's personal understanding is concerned, "it cannot be said that military management is a democratic regime," right? In the end, he had no choice but to stand still and wait for the situation to become clearer.

On the imperial side.

Reinhardt ordered Bidianfeldt to lead 8,000 armed soldiers to take the lead in occupying the military headquarters and detaining Marshal Shangmiu Kenberga of the military headquarters, which meant that he also controlled the command document sending function of the entire imperial army.

Most of the anti-Reinhardites had already left the capital, Odin, so Bidenfeldt met little resistance, except for a colonel in the Shang Scholar's Chamber, who was shot and seriously wounded by Bidenfeldt because he was in front of the door.

The tall former commander-in-chief of the Space Fleet, now the military secretary of the military affairs department Marshal Miu Kenberga, was unmoved when he saw Bidianfeldt striding forward, and his calm attitude was almost arrogant. Who allowed you to trespass without permission? I don't know what you want, but I know that you don't know how to observe etiquette at all!"

A sneer welled in Bidianfeldt's eyes, and he put away his gun and saluted the marshal respectfully. Disrespectful, Marshal. I'm just acting on orders from above! What I'm asking for is that all people should know that times have changed. ”

The marshal refused to relinquish power and was forcibly escorted out of the Ministry of War by the soldiers ordered by Bidianfeldt......

The other admirals were also assigned important tasks as originally planned: Lutz to occupy the headquarters of the commander, Camp to guard the marshal's palace, Ksla to the Duke's palace of Blanche Baick, Murat to the palace of the Marquis of Richheim, Rochenthal to protect the executive government of the Duke of Richland, and Mecklinger to the New Sanssouci Palace...... As a result, the headquarters of the commander and other important places were also occupied, and the head of the headquarters, Marshal Stankhov, was also placed under house arrest.

At this time, the orbits of the satellites outside the atmosphere of Planet Odin were completely under the supervision of the Gilfias fleet, and the outer cosmic regions were on guard by Vallie's fleet. But this is completely useless, those who can run and those who should run have long since run away, and the noble army will soon be formed and Marshal Fafnier will be sent to join......

The Noble Coalition is assembled around the City of Condors. At this time, Reinhardt alone held the three highest positions in the Imperial Army, and while serving as the commander of the Space Fleet, he also served as the military secretary and the chief of the Imperial Army Command Headquarters, fully controlling the military dictatorship.

Emperor Alway Yushev II bestowed the title of "Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army" on Reinhardt, not as a six-year-old child, but as a recipient.

At the same time, the emperor also issued a holy decree to Reinhardt, ordering him to crusade against the bandits such as Blanch Baike, who gathered the party for personal gain and conspired to rebel against the emperor. On April 6 of the standard calendar, news of a series of unrest in the Allied countries reached Reinhardt's ears.

The time was ripe for battle, Reinhardt left the rebellion in the border area to Gilfias with full responsibility, and he personally led the main force to the city of vultures where the noble combined army gathered, and the two shook hands and said goodbye temporarily. Gilfias will lead an army that accounts for one-third of the entire army, with two generals, Camp and Lutz, to organize into a special force and carry out activities. What they had to do was the fleet of Field Marshal Favinir, who was not currently stationed in the City of Condors, but had been operating around the Chihoisa system.

At this moment, the League was still in chaos, with supporters of independence, the former regime, and the current military regime fighting with each other, and the exiles of the former regime and the current regime were also issuing orders to the outer armies in the name of the orthodox regime, treating each other as wanted criminals. There are no large-scale battles, but there have been small-scale battles in some systems where there is economic and trade friction. Willy Young's fleet had to be dispatched to quell part of the commotion in the rear.

Marshal Fafnir was not in a hurry to lead the fleet to the city of vultures, and the first thing he did was to go straight to the semi-independent territories of the southern nobles, and carry out large-scale co-optation and some small collection of military expenses and factories in the name of the "comrades-in-arms" of the Alliance. Relying on the advantage of 40,000 troops, Fafnir carried out the military reorganization of the southern galaxy at a rapid speed. "Colonel Dior. Rapid design and production of an ultra-jumbo vape engine. Fafnier summoned his subordinate, Colonel Dio Storm, who was focused on the development of his technique. The colonel is a drunkard, but he has a family background, and his ancestors have been engaged in the research department of the imperial military for several generations, and he has many wonderful ideas, but he is pressed by his superiors and cannot get out...... Regarded as a waste and a freak many years ago, he was thrown into the Favenir fleet as a technical officer. Now the marshal called him over and made his own request.

"Your Excellency Marshal, can you ask, how big is this vape engine going to be used to propel it?"

"Based on 10 billion tons, plural allocation. Okay, let's go. Don't ask too much about the latter ones. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

The Noble Coalition Combat Meetings are also often influenced by the emotional likes and dislikes of the nobles.

Duke Branche came up with a strategy. He wanted to start from Odin, the capital of the empire, and set up nine military strongholds on the way to the fortress "City of Condor", and each stronghold was heavily armed, and when Reinhardt attacked these places one by one, his troops and ships would gradually wear out, and then our army would attack from the City of Condor and destroy it in one fell swoop.

Merkaz was quite skeptical of this strategy. For Reinhardt would have been best if he could attack the strongholds one after the other, as they had expected. However, if he did not do so, and instead destroyed the supply lines and communication networks of the various strongholds, making them useless, and then marched directly at the City of Condors, this strategy would be completely useless. And if heavy troops are stationed on these nine strongholds, it will weaken the forces of the Condor City.

General Stettin proposed another strategy: "We can form a large special forces to lure the blonde boy into approaching the city of vultures, and then attack the undefended capital of Odin, and then His Majesty the Emperor will become our support." At this time, it is too late for him to rush to the capital to rescue the driver!" Well...... Then the situation changes completely. This blonde-haired, yellow-mouthed kid will immediately become a homeless orphan in the universe!"

The young nobleman, Earl Ofret of Lanzbeck, cried out. He looked quite excited, and innocently praised Stettin's plan of battle as a positive, great, flawless proposal. "But who is going to command this Einsatzgruppen? This position is not only very prestigious, but also has a lot of responsibility. ”

The room suddenly became silent again.

As soon as Afret, Earl of Landsbeck, said this, the people and the air around him immediately became solemn as if they had fallen into a miasma.

If anyone can successfully attack the capital Odin and hold the young emperor hostage this time, then he is the person who has the most credit in this civil war, and the credit for luring Reinhardt to take the bait in the city of vultures is not so great. The former is like the light of a star, while the latter is like an asteroid, eclipsed by the star.

When dealing with post-war issues, the person who has the most credit must have the most say. In fact, as long as the Son of Heaven can be coerced to order the candidates, even if it is a formal relationship between monarchs and ministers, they can still control the supreme position freely.

Therefore, it only takes a "royal decree" to monopolize the position and power at that time.

This is the commander of the Einsatzgruppen.

A stepping stone to the highest power.

There was a strange light in the eyes of Blanche Baick and Lidian Heim, and they were thinking at the same time, how could such a position be handed over to others? In fact, the crux of the problem has long been separated from strategy and tactics, and has evolved to the level of political strategy. But these people don't think so, they are like foolish hunters who, as soon as they see a forest, are anxious to calculate the value of the fur of the sable hidden inside. Actually, they didn't necessarily have to be able to hunt these sables at all! Merkaz had already thought of this method. In terms of pure military strategy alone, it was indeed worth trying, but Merkaz did not hesitate to abandon this plan. The reason is very simple, because this method of warfare can only be successfully implemented with the cooperation of a highly united army organization. The commanders of all armies must be able to rely on each other and cooperate with each other.

However, the Noble Coalition could not do this. It was because Reinhardt, the Marquis of Royankram, saw this fact clearly, that he was confident and bold to defend the capital with a small number of weak troops. However, "How could I have forgotten this!...... Am I really old?" Admiral Merkaz's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered the real variable! "Faffnir!Marshal Faffnir!His army is not in the City of Condors, and it is clear that this fleet is much more unified than the Noble Coalition Army!The attack on the Emperor is very likely to succeed" But soon, the First Admiral fell into decay again, "It's still the same problem, this proposal will not pass for the same reason." However, maybe I can tell my student in private...... After all, neither Branche nor Rieden Helm could give him an order......"

At the end of this eventual meeting, Admiral Merkaz used his own channels to send Fafnir his battle idea, but there was no response......

From then on, Merkaz had to choose between the two known outcomes of compromise or neglect in warfare - a choice between two undesirable outcomes. Because they are not accustomed to obeying others, it is very difficult for them to restrain themselves. The older aristocrats, even if they were a little restrained in their actions, secretly instigated the young men to achieve their own interests.

Merkaz's first experience of compromising with others was to put Stettin, who had a clear sense of competition with him, as a pioneer. Young aristocrats always advocated fighting one of them first in order to spy on the strength of the enemy's army.

"It is also necessary to let them suffer a defeat", Merkaz thought only that.

Stettin foolishly divided his forces, and he divided the sixteen,000 warships into two parts, ready to bypass the spacemachine minefield and outflank the 14,500 warships of Midamaia on the left and right......

The result was also predetermined, Stettin could only take his direct fleet for escape training, and Count Hildesham was buried in the Ardina system with more than 10,000 warships......

When Stettin was defeated by Midamaia and pursued by Reinhardt's army, he desperately fled back to the fortress of Liandianberg in order to save the remnants of his army, exhausted and in need of a good rest. The fortress of Liandianbelk is the third stronghold set up by the aristocratic coalition led by Duke Blanch and Baick, located on an asteroid in the Flya system. Although it is not as large as the fortress of Iserlohn or the city of vultures, it can accommodate a million generals and more than 10,000 ships. The interior also includes combat, communications, supplies, maintenance, and medical functions, and is strategically important for the Noble Coalition.

Originally, Reinhardt didn't pay attention to the existence of Liandian Berk Fortress at all, he just regarded it as a small rock on the side of the road. But now he found that the fortress was equipped with many reconnaissance satellites, floating radar control centers, faster-than-light communication centers, communication jamming systems, and ship maintenance facilities, and so on, and that its troops were much larger than before the war. If you ignore its existence and continue to chase down the defeated soldiers, you will be attacked from the back and increase your own danger. In view of this, it is better to get rid of this scourge as soon as possible. Capture the fortress of Liandian Berk with all your might!

Reinhardt gave the order. He gathered the admirals together and explained to them the plans and sections of the fortress, and told them the strategy of the battle.

When the military ministry in the capital Odin was received, most of the classified documents fell into the hands of Reinhardt, including the plans and sections of the fortress. As a result, Reinhardt was able to clearly understand the shortcomings and strengths of the fortress, and he understood that it was too late for the enemy to remedy the weakness of the fortress. However, the sixth line of attack seems to be problematic. Because the center of the fortress is the fusion furnace, this is where the energy supply of the entire fortress is supplied. The sixth route is the shortest way to the fusion furnace, from where the fusion furnace can be captured, and the fortress can be quickly killed. However, if the fusion furnace were to be attacked directly, there would be a risk of a nuclear explosion.

When I think about this, I really don't know how to decide, to avoid using thermal weapons such as beam guns, it seems that the only way to occupy the sixth passage is to use hand-to-hand combat.

Three days later, Reinhardt's fleet approached the fortress of Liandianberg and began a general assault. The actual command of the campaign was Rochenthal and Midamaia.

Then they found that they had nothing to gain, and that the fortress of Denberg had exploded while their fleet was carrying out the landing work, and that the garrison fleet and Stettin's defeated army had all disappeared - including the first Admiral Ofresha, who was supposed to defend the area, was gone. Later, when collecting the remaining video records from the wreckage, it was discovered that Steten's fleet had been disarmed as soon as it reached the fortress, and then the fleet had left with the garrison fleet and the soldiers and Stertin's defeated army......

Ffnier loosened his bones at the fortress of Liandianberg with a small fleet of high-speed cruisers, and he easily broke Admiral Ofresa's special crystal axe with his bare hands, and then beat Admiral Ofresha into a pig's head, satisfying Admiral's long-standing desire to "fight" with someone......

The main fleet of Fafnir, which is carrying out "cleansing" activities in the border system at high speed, will soon face the challenge of the Gilfias fleet......

But before that, after a big quarrel between the Marquis of Helm and the Duke over the command, he left the Condor City with 50,000 warships, preparing to engage the Gilfias fleet in the name of recovering the border system.

"Very well, we also speed up, following the Marquis of Waste. There's something good to pick up this time!" Fafnier, who had returned to his flagship Loki, gave orders to his subordinates.
