Just when Wu Qiao thought everything would be smooth in the future, a special change took place in the situation on the Eastern Front.
The commander-in-chief of the neutral country was named Shan Labao. He was a war madman with a resolute face and never had any ambiguity. Wu Qiao originally admired him very much. Who knows, knowing that Shanla Fort, which is very likely to win according to the plan, is not willing to end this turning point war calmly. Regardless of Tan Yan's objections, he insisted on attacking the Republic's most notoriously impenetrable line of defense, because once victorious, the coalition forces would save a lot of time spent on detours. He wanted to believe in himself for once, to gamble his fame—if he could conquer that line of defense, he would go down in history forever as the god of the army and the sword of the country. He hates being unknown the most. He hopes that his name will be accompanied by brilliance, and the impregnable defense line of the Republic is a gorgeous stage for him to create amazing victories.
However, he didn't win the bet, instead he got stuck in the enemy's position and couldn't escape. The commander-in-chief of the Republic who joined the army after failing to enter the professional table tennis league is much better than Shanlabao, who has not been baptized in many wars. Moreover, most of the neutral countries are recruits, and their skills are still far behind.
The neutral country's self-assertion completely interfered with Tan Yan. Seeing that the neutral country's troops were about to be wiped out, the efforts of the coalition forces would soon be ruined.
"Tan Yan..." Wu Qiao now understood how appropriate the word "headache" was to describe the predicament. At this moment, Wu Qiao really felt a throbbing pain in his head, "I really didn't expect it to become like this."
"Don't worry, I'm here." Tan Yan's voice was reassuring as always.
"Tan Yan," Wu Qiao reached out and touched the center of his brow, "Please think of a way... You must not lose like this." If too many people are wiped out by the coalition forces this time, the advantage that was so hard to build will really be lost.
"Well, good." Tan Yan agreed directly without any hesitation.
Wu Qiao looked at Tan Yan's face in the communicator, and smiled bitterly: "Marshal, I think I'm just like those most unreasonable bosses and foremen, no matter how sudden things are, no matter how chaotic the situation is, no matter the time How urgent it is, no matter how scarce the staff is, no matter how crude the tools are, you must do it—this kind of work is simply impossible, and you hate such a person leading you, don’t you?" How disgusting is the person who does not provide the necessary support but blindly asks subordinates to complete tasks.
"I don't hate you." Wu Qiao heard Tan Yan's voice coming softly, "I love you."
"..." For a moment Wu Qiao wanted to cry.
He didn't quite understand why he was so demanding of the other party, what was worthy of such love. He is a stubborn person, why can he get such good love from his parents, sister, Sheng Chongguang, Su Yiqing, Ji Yao, and Tan Yan? Perhaps, he is really a lucky person blessed by heaven.
"How should I put it?" Tan Yan didn't indulge Wu Qiao too much, "If I were just your subordinate, I would probably hate you very much. But I'm still your lover, so no matter what you want, even if it seems inappropriate In fact, I'll make it happen for you."
"Tan Yan..." Wu Qiao lowered his eyes, "Thank you."
"Thank you for what?"
"Thank you for liking me."
"... You didn't want it at first."
"Hey," Wu Qiao protested, "It was all a few years ago...?!"
"That happened too."
"..." Wu Qiao knew that he would be an annoying boss and foreman for at least another four years. The re-election of the alliance has ended, and Wu Qiao was re-elected with a surprising number of votes, officially becoming the first head of state of the new country.
Regarding how to rescue the besieged troops in a neutral country, Tan Yan's gist is very simple, that is, "evacuate recklessly." Tan Yan didn't intend to increase his troops to force his way through that line of defense, that would really be an approach that would outweigh the gains.
Judging from the forecast, a group of comet fragments will be ushered in not far away. When a large comet approaches a star, it will quickly gasify, and its dust particles will be ejected from the parent body, blown away, and enter the comet's orbit to continue flying. Originally, it was good for human beings to avoid extreme phenomena, but this time, Tan Yan was desperate, planning to cross the orbit of debris, so as to completely get rid of his opponent. Putting debris clusters on top of evacuation routes is an unbelievably bold idea.
However, Tan Yan believes that this is the best route. First of all, by analyzing in advance, they will know more about the comet debris group than the Republic Army. Secondly, the army of the Republic is not psychologically prepared, and I am afraid that they dare not approach the comet fragments rashly. In the end, Tan Yan's personal mecha driving skills were far superior to any of the opponent's soldiers.
On the day of evacuation, Tan Yan was indeed the first to rush to the comet fragments.
Most of the fragments are small and do not pose a threat to battleships and mechs, but some are not.
As a series of bright and colorful light beams were sent forward densely, the attack from the mighty Longyuan formed a battle net, blasting the oncoming large fragments on the narrow established route into residues!
Everyone was shocked by this godlike attack speed!
They couldn't even see clearly, but Tan Yan got through in an instant!
The movement speed of the fragments here is relatively low, but it is also close to 10,000 meters per second. Tan Yan needs to use a light-speed weapon to launch a laser bomb to the calculated position at a specified time. How delicate operation is required to achieve an accurate hit? ! You know, it is almost impossible to complete the plan!
What they saw was that just after Tan Yan finished launching, those fragments came before his eyes, but the large ones had already disintegrated, and the residues hit the shield one by one. It looked very impactful, but it had lost its power.
In this case, the people behind Tan Yan who retreated with him were safe and sound.
The time to cross the debris group is actually very short, but the high tension makes the soldiers feel extremely long.
Tan Yan's claim really slowed down the pace of the Republic's army's pursuit, and they retreated when they approached the comet fragments.
During such a crossing, the coalition forces lost a lot of warships, but finally saved the lives of most soldiers in the neutral country.
"Stop all unnecessary operations and reduce the temperature of the warships as much as possible. Then, the enemy formation will head in the opposite direction according to the original arrangement, and throw a large number of metal fragments to confuse the opponent." Tan Yan commanded everyone, "Also, all warships Turn off the lights, turn off the communication system, stop all signals, so as not to be detected."
Getting rid of the enemy is the first step, and hiding yourself is the second step. Only in this way can you really escape.
In order not to be discovered, Tan Yan even gave up a few new warships that were too large, fearing that they would cause trouble.
—Finally, according to statistics, about one-sixth of the troops were lost in this evacuation, and as many as five-sixths were rescued.
After this incident, Wu Qiao understood that the alliance is not the end, on the contrary, it is just the beginning.
The complexity and complexity of the coalition far exceeded his expectations, and many things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
After a very careful investigation, Ji Yao selected the person who in his mind is most suitable to be the commander of a neutral country army. Wu Qiao took this name and asked Jing Yan to replace the original commander and let the new one take over immediately. Jing Yan is still arrogant, and refuses to act on Wu Qiao's suggestion. Unexpectedly, Wu Qiao was extremely tough on this issue. He made concessions on the issue of the division of interests between the two countries after the war, but he said that if Jing Yan could not appoint a commander-in-chief that he recognized, he would end the matter. Suspend the cooperation between the two parties, because this incident fully demonstrates that it is better to have no allies than an ally that is lagging behind.
"If the neutral country doesn't use him," Wu Qiao said flatly, "they won't be able to cooperate within ten thousand years."
A smile appeared on Jing Yan's lips, "Of course we will change the commander-in-chief, we just want to maintain the independence of the appointment. That's good, we will mobilize the whole country again, and strive to double the number of troops within a month. Similarly, The warships and mechas will also be doubled. How about it? The alliance also shows a little sincerity?" In Jing Yan's eyes, Wu Qiao absolutely could not refuse this temptation.
"Okay." Wu Qiao's voice was calm, "Then I will give in a step, and I will subtract one thousand years-there will be no cooperation within nine thousand years."
"… you!"
"Jing Yan," Wu Qiao said, "this is exactly the same as what I just said, that we must appoint a commander approved by our side, but we can make concessions in terms of post-war interests. Now you know my bottom line, It is necessary to use people we agree with, and all other issues are easy to discuss."
"...Let me think about it." Jing Yan couldn't believe it, the person in front of him was less than 30 years old, and he was already biting like a tiger.
"thanks."
Two days later, under the pressure of the attitude of the neutral domestic elites who "must not stand idly by and must help the alliance win at all costs", Jing Yan agreed to Wu Qiao's request, although he ruthlessly blackmailed him on the issue of the division of benefits after the victory made a fortune.
——The person Ji Yao likes is indeed very reliable, and Tan Yan feels the joy that he has never felt when cooperating with the previous commander.
It took a month and a half for the coalition forces of the two countries to capture an important fortress. Tan Yan led the mecha and light cavalry troops into the long and thin corridor, and interfered with the communication system of the opponent. The people behind the corridor did not know that the front had been captured, and missed the excellent opportunity to catch the turtle in the urn.
After passing this fortress, the coalition forces officially passed through the middle ground and entered the mainland of the Republic.
This is the first time since the war started a hundred years ago, the mainland of the Republic has been attacked.
When you get here, you have to be extra careful every step of the way.
As the coalition forces advanced, they scattered pamphlets on the inhabited planets, which read in the language of the Republic: The coalition forces have no intention of invading, but just want to win the final victory of the just battle. Once the opponents surrender, they will immediately withdraw from the mainland of the Republic, Return peace to all, and restore the supply of green sand, and never monopolize the gift from heaven to all mankind.
There were many people in the Republic who opposed the invasion of the empire. What Wuqiao and the others did was to appease the people of the Republic and prevent them from joining the army as much as possible.
Moreover, when the Republic was struggling to fight the war, the coalition forces flew missiles and relief supplies together, and became the first party to deliver food and medicine.
