Chapter 1758 I Am Here, Always Here

The defeat in the New Atlantis was of course bad news, but it was not unexpected to Yu Lian.

The Solar System Fleet has always been the most valued mobile fleet of the Earth's dignitaries. Before the Battle of the Ring of Miracles, it was the largest fleet in the community, with the most advanced ships and the most complete personnel. It was indeed a group of bright and beautiful street specimens.

At least in appearance, it really has the flavor of a strong army. This was of course before the Battle of the Ring of Miracles.

After that battle, the sense of security of the dignitaries did drop to the lowest level in history, but the local fleet that was rebuilt by squeezing out resources could only be regarded as a mob.

To be honest, Marshal Ferragu was able to bring this mob to the New Atlantis within the specified time. Yu Lian has already looked up to the old chief who was a chef.

...Of course, this could also be the credit of Brother Krel, but after all, he was just an advisor, so Yu Lian decided to ignore him completely.

Yu Lian always believed that if he wanted to stabilize the defense loopholes at the border of the New Atlantis star zone, he should seize Chelo first. But this is no longer a military matter.

And the facts proved that when Brunhilde seized Chelo first, the action of the local fleet rushing to the border of New Asia had lost its original meaning, not to mention the subsequent battle.

"You are right, it is not Marshal Ferragu's decision whether to fight or not." Feifei said.

It is said that when the local fleet arrived at the border of New Asia, Marshal Ferragu was actually quite hesitant, but the Alliance military advisor Krel Belmont really encouraged the entire army to press on. He pointed out incisively that even if the Imperial Army really occupied Chelo like a god, its manpower must be limited. Although our side is a "rabble", at least we should have an absolute advantage in manpower.

Marshal Ferragu thought this was reasonable. The old man was never a famous general with great decisiveness and creativity, but his greatest advantage was that he listened to advice and knew how to listen to people instead of ghosts.

It is said that Marshal Paris also agreed with this.

However, before the whole army marched, it was said that it was stopped by the Presidential Palace.

The Presidential Palace is the commander-in-chief of the whole army in legal terms, but it is a bit abstract to speak directly on such tactical issues. But forty-eight hours later, the Presidential Palace ordered to march again, and even bypassed the military headquarters to give the order to the Mars Cook. This is the quantum state in the abstract.

Indeed, until this time, the enemy faced by the First Fleet was still only one enemy ship plus 50,000 to 60,000 people in the fortress, and the military strength still had an absolute advantage - for the earthlings, this is really a fresh experience.

If everyone is full of fighting spirit, everyone is brave, everyone is united, and everyone is not afraid of sacrifice, maybe they can really get Chero back.

But we all know that it is harder to expect a "rabble" to suddenly transform into such a united iron army than to train a nine-ring psychic.

This is indeed the case. It is said that before the war, the alliance's consultants formulated a plan to land at three locations simultaneously based on their own combat effectiveness. This is actually because they are worried that the Earth army, which is not well trained and organized, will land and attack at the same point, which will cause crowded collisions and non-combat casualties.

However, the local fleet was only irradiated a few times by the fortress guns that Chelo had just repaired, and everyone hesitated. Marshal Ferragu tried his best but could not get everyone to carry out the combat mission according to the original plan.

Then, after the reinforcements from the empire arrived, the community's local fleet, which was attacked from all sides, no longer had the will to continue fighting.

In fact, this newly arrived Imperial reinforcement fleet only had 2 battlecruisers, 3 aircraft carriers, 3 light carriers, 12 heavy cruisers and 12 light cruisers. It could only be considered a vanguard fleet at most, and its total strength was only a quarter of the Earth's native fleet after reconstruction.

But even so, the First Fleet, which was highly expected by the Earth's dignitaries, collapsed again. Even the flagship Cook was hit several times by the Imperial battleships.

Of course, facing the same opponent, at least most of this native fleet escaped, which was already good compared to their predecessors who were completely wiped out in the Miracle Ring.

The military attaché of the Alliance Embassy in Cherk watched this war and said he was puzzled.

"It's hard to imagine that these people and Sai De's group are all from the community. It's really embarrassing for their comrades!"

"Is it possible? Is this actually the true level of the community's army? As for Sai De's group, they are special?"

"So, are those people from Sai De special? Or is their commander special?"

Such conversations and reports may just be the feelings of military observers, or they may be recorded in the report sent back to Nephi. But what specific impact it will have can only be proved by future history.

Afterwards, the Mars Cook dreadnought retreated to New Atlantis and began to gather the defeated soldiers and re-arrange the formation, but normal people know that as long as the empire launches another attack later, this group of frightened rabble will not be able to hold on for half a day. If they can get the headquarter to relax, they will definitely flee back to Earth without hesitation.

"Escape. I'm afraid that they are not afraid now, and I'm more afraid that Earth will issue some chaotic orders to resist to death. Feifei, let's send a warning to the Earth in my name." Yu Lian said helplessly.

"I will tell the staff to do it right away." Feifei said.

Yu Lian was naturally relieved when Feifei was doing things. However, he couldn't help but complain: "In the current New Asia, instead of relying on the local fleet to hold on, it is better to rely on the Circassians to show some fighting spirit, so that at least they can harass the logistics of the imperial army. It will be difficult for King Suliuka to maintain the army in this direction."

"There are only two of us here, so there is no need to be so deliberate." Feifei smiled and said, "You can call her Brunhilde or Brin. Yani and I actually call her that."

Yu Lian pretended that the girl was fishing and continued as if he couldn't hear her: "After all, they They have always regarded themselves as the vanguard of the anti-empire movement, and have been rebelling for hundreds of years. The surrender of the royal family of Katun does not mean that the generals have surrendered as well. I remember that in addition to the royal family, the commanders and governors of various military regions also have great autonomy. Many forces, but there are no middlemen, and they directly receive assistance from the alliance. "

Fei Fei nodded and said, "Yes, their full name is the United Kingdom of Circe, and the system of the entire country is not more centralized than that of Byzantium. Well, maybe it is not as centralized as that of Byzantium during the Macedonian Dynasty. "

This is a bit too insulting. Yu Lian felt that the stability of the system and the central authority of the Kingdom of Circe were at least equivalent to those of the middle and late Tang Dynasty before General Chongtian entered Chang'an.

...Wait, so to speak, Circe's "Chang'an" has really been entered by the imperial masters!

What a poor alligator turtle friend. They obviously did nothing, just watching the war, but after only one month, the country was functionally destroyed.

In short, the situation in Xinya has completely collapsed, and it is only slightly better than the worst. However, to be hypocritical, it should have been expected, so it is not too out of control.

What was really unexpected was the Nantianmen direction, which was thought to be the most tightly guarded.

"Gibraltar is indeed in a tough battle. Marshal Bonaparte is indeed trying to maintain it, but it is almost impossible to send reinforcements here."

To be honest, Yu Lian no longer expects to get reinforcements from Gibraltar. Everyone has to admit that Marshal Bonaparte and the Outer Ring Fleet have done everything they can.

Last year, just after the Kaitai Battle, when Yu Lian led his troops to the Far Shore Nebula, he took away all four Lord God-class ships, ten of the eighteen Yinglong-class strategic cruisers, half of the new battleships and a large number of experienced crew members.

At the critical point of the "half-time break" of the battle, Marshal Bonaparte met the requirements of Yu Lian and Yang Xiyi and sent another part of the fleet to New Shenzhou, giving the exhausted Yang fleet a chance to breathe.

In addition, when the newly trained recruits were sent to Terra, Marshal Bonaparte would try to keep the recruits while ensuring that the functions of the warships in various departments would not be imbalanced, and send the veterans of the fleet to Sede for reinforcement.

Up to now, the Outer Ring Fleet stationed in Gibraltar has less than half of its strength in its heyday. Considering that it is full of rookies, its combat effectiveness may be less than 40%.

The core of the battle is the four old-fashioned Independence-class Dreadnoughts. They are also the only few veterans of the Independence-class that were established with the community.

However, even with only this little force left, Marshal Bonaparte and Yu Lian are still optimistic about the future battle situation.

After all, after the end of the Kaitai Campaign, the only enemy Gibraltar had to deal with was the New World behind the Nantianmen. This is actually the fundamental reason why Yu Lian wanted to sneak attack and defeat the Blood Gate, and then he must take the initiative to attack with all his troops and burn most of the Kaitai Kingdom to the ground.

After all, it is a war, the most cruel activity that eliminates all kindness and gentleness. Yu Lian can't care how many Kaitai people will be displaced and their families will be broken up. As long as it can eliminate the threat of Gibraltar being attacked from both sides, this is a price that can be paid.

And the facts have indeed proved that this approach is effective.

In the following six months, the Empire completely lost the possibility of attacking the South Gate from the direction of the Blood Gate. In the whole year of 834, the largest fleet that arrived at the Blood Gate was just a reconnaissance organization.

If there is only one direction of enemies to guard against, the work will be much easier.

Of course, in order to keep the direction, Marshal Bonaparte did not even consider a decisive battle with the Imperial Fleet in his own territory in the New World, but instead withdrew all his forces to the Gibraltar system.

This move is a bit conservative, but understandable. With the current combat power of the Outer Ring Fleet, relying on the home advantage of Gibraltar, it can play defense, but it is almost impossible to confront the God of Fire, Aran, head-on in a galaxy in the Western Continent that is not indefensible.

Of course, this also means that the two inhabited planets of New Lushun and New Yumen, with a total of more than three million soldiers and civilians, and at least 200 million sand people who have obtained community household registration, have become abandoned.

Marshal Bonaparte apologized to Yu Lian for this problem. However, Yu Lian expressed complete understanding of this.

This is a war after all, and both sides are placed in the furnace. The fate of the army, ships, farmland, factories, cities, planets, and every ordinary person is just part of the fuel. This is the case with the Empire and its allies, and of course it is the same for the self.

Yu Lian knew that Marshal Bonaparte had equipped a large number of powerful forts around the star gate - compared to the vast starry sky, a star gate the size of an ordinary planet was much easier to aim at. Once the Imperial fleet pours into the Gibraltar Beta system from the Star Gate, it will inevitably encounter a concentrated fire.

For example, Polaris Company produces the Tiangong MK17 turret. This space equipment is equipped with Alliance Dreadnought-class ion cannons. As long as it can hit accurately, it can still shake the Titan ship.

And just for this kind of turret, twenty of them were built around the star gate in the outer ring.

Yu Lian is not clear about the fleet deployed by the empire in the New World. However, he felt that in the face of such a defense, even if the empire concentrated more than twice the strength of the Nantianmen defenders, it might take a week or two and sacrifice a large number of ships and soldiers to break through the Nantianmen. Tianmen.

Then, there is the tug of war in the Gibraltar galaxy. At this stage, the people on Earth still have the home field advantage.

"So, Nantianmen has been breached?" Yu Lian asked.

Feifei smiled bitterly and repeated the report: "The Vulcan Airan has broken through the Nantian Gate and entered the Gibraltar Beta Galaxy. Everyone is fighting around the star gate."

"This is equivalent to laying a bridgehead in the Gibraltar galaxy. Why is it so smooth?" Yu Liandao.

"The Imperial Army... adopted the tactics that Teacher Yang used at the Unity Fortress."

Yang Xiyi has used many fantastic tactics. Yu Lian was curious about which one it would be. It couldn't be like igniting a black hole inside the Fortress of Unity, right?

"However, it was still called the Devil's Throat at that time." Feifei added.

Yu Lian understood immediately, but still asked in disbelief: "Rush, rush the car?"

"Rush the car." Feifei made a affirmative gesture with a heavy expression.

"But for what?"

In the beginning, Teacher Yang was able to use the rush car because he had ready-made materials, including the Leviathan that he had killed with his mental skills. However, when the Leviathan's insect shell broke through the thickest armor wall of the Demon's Throat, it was already shattered. But where did the empire get such a strong and anti-physical body of a car?

"Just use unity to defeat yourself." Feifei said.

Yu Lian was startled for a moment, and then he immediately understood something. He couldn't help but sigh: "Can this be considered retribution in this world?"

"Retribution? I don't believe this. Even if there is, it should be repaid to the empire." Feifei said proudly: "In this war, we stand on the high ground of justice. This is the only point you should not deny. ”

"Yes, Colonel Fina Li, we are fighting a just war now." What she said was really reasonable, and of course Yu Lian could only agree:

"It's just that our enemies are evil but powerful. They have never been fools, even in this civilized era, the most successful war race in the universe. I have forgotten such a simple thing as showing leniency to the enemy. It's a shame. !”

"It's not your fault, and that's not your defense zone." Feifei quickly comforted her.

But Yu Lian didn't realize it and said loudly: "If you get carried away! If you get carried away, you will definitely be unlucky! I will definitely make mistakes in the future, and even make similar mistakes. Feifei, someone must remind me."

Feifei looked at her lover grieving in the jar and replied naturally: "Okay. Yu'er. I'm here, always."
