Starfighter

Chapter 571: It's not what it used to be

Views:

Debriefing is a trivial matter. Before leaving Feng Martian, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to write the combat report. Although in accordance with the regulations, after reviewing the combat report submitted by Yang Yi, the military department will arrange for special personnel to ask Yang Yi about some unclear questions, but this time it did not cause such troubles. After receiving the combat report submitted by Yang Yi Later, the Military Department issued relevant documents and the debriefing was over.

Arranging new tasks is actually a trivial matter.

Yang Yi only stayed in the military department for less than an hour before he got the mission statement. As he expected, the new task is to command the army under his command to the Greenwich Defense Line and assist the reinforcements of the Star Weavers to launch a strategic counterattack. All matters related to the operation are determined by Yang Yi. In this task book, the most important part is to clearly define Yang Yi's scope of authority, to be precise, the area of action. To put it simply, Yang Yi can only operate in the area where the Greenwich Defense Line is located, and the army under his command cannot go to other areas without authorization, including the colonial galaxy where these army groups are located. As for fighting in the Northern Alpha Galaxy opposite the Greenwich Line, it is not within the limits.

Of course, this is nothing strange.

Thousands of years ago, when Xiao Wentian stepped forward, while appointing him as the commander-in-chief, the federal authorities also defined the scope of his mission, that is, he can only move around the lighthouse star. If you need to go to other areas, you must Report in advance and obtain approval from federal authorities.

After completing the relevant procedures, Yang Yi did not delay.

When he came out of the headquarters building of the military headquarters, he met Lin Liexun, who had already been waiting outside.

"Go to the spaceport? Let's go, I'll give you a ride."

Yang Yi did not refuse, knowing that Lin Liexun had come to him specifically.

After getting in the car, Lin Liexun said: "I have submitted a transfer report to the military and theater headquarters. As expected, I will also lead the army on the expedition."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Lin Liexun without understanding.

"Although most of the colonial galaxies have been recovered, there are still some remnants in the North Fourth District. In addition, according to the military department, we will not abandon the Greenwich line because of the existence of the Star Weavers. In other words, we need to send an army. Go to sweep the remnants of the North Fourth District and control the key areas of the Greenwich Line. Even if I did not apply, the military will send other generals on the expedition."

"Uncle Seven..."

"This is not for you, but for Xiaofeng."

Yang Yi sighed secretly without saying much.

"Actually, when I first saw you, I knew you were not in the pool. I just didn't expect that this day would come so quickly." Lin Liexun sighed and said, "I didn't mean to blame you, because I Know those people better than you. I’m not asking you, but I just hope you can put the interests of the Federation first. We are all federal soldiers, and our duty is to defend the entire human confederation. Many times, we have to face dilemmas. It’s just that as soldiers, we have nothing to look back on. I believe that the man Xiaofeng fancy will never go far behind. It’s just that I hope that when that day comes, your relationship with Xiaofeng will not be affected."

"Uncle Qi, I have nothing to guarantee. No matter what happens in the future, I will not let Xiaofeng be wronged."

Lin Liexun nodded slightly and said, "I trust your guarantee, but I also hope you can understand that it is important for a husband to do it, and don't let your children's feelings bind your hands and feet."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but smile.

"I've said everything that should be said. This is not a goodbye. Maybe it won't take long before we can meet again." Lin Liexun smiled faintly and said, "I believe that by then, you will let me look at me and prove that I don't have I saw the wrong person, and Xiaofeng didn't choose the wrong person."

Yang Yi also smiled faintly, and said nothing more.

Not long after, the two arrived at the ground transportation station of the spaceport.

Lin Feng was already waiting here, and there were also a group of officers and soldiers from the special investigation brigade including Shen Chengwen.

Although Yang Yi did not take the initiative, after he was promoted to major general, Zhan Ruilin gave him the special investigation team on the grounds that Yang Yi had just been promoted and needed a group of capable subordinates, and then let Lin Xiaoting disband the special investigation team. Brigade. In other words, Shen Chengwen and they all became Yang Yi's men. Because there has been no free time, Yang Yi did not make adjustments to the special reconnaissance team and still retained the previous organization. The only difference is that Lin Feng no longer serves as the captain and is replaced by Shen Chengwen. As for the following squadron leader and team leader, Shen Chengwen arranged for them, and Yang Yi did not intervene. In fact, under Yang Yi, only a few hundred officers and soldiers of the special investigation brigade, including Shen Chengwen, are regular soldiers.

Seeing Yang Yi, Lin Feng didn't say much, and Shen Chengwen also remained silent.

Without words all the way, everyone took the transportation vehicle to the space station and boarded the battleship "Victory".

This is an S-class battleship and Yang Yi's flagship. Although it is a bit old, its combat effectiveness is not bad. According to relevant regulations, after Yang Yi was promoted to major general, he was qualified to own the flagship. In a sense, this is also a status symbol.

It must be admitted that Zhan Ruilin is generous.

You should know that the flagship of the commander of the third theater is only an SS-class warship, and as usual, only a lieutenant is eligible for an S-class warship. Yang Yi is a major general, and his counterpart is an AAA-class warship. Besides, the fleet of the Human Federation is not considered strong. There are only ten SSS-class warships in total, while the third theater has less than 100 S-class warships. After the previous battles, less than five can be used normally. Ten ships.

However, Yang Yi did not take this warship seriously.

When the "Victory" left the spaceport and flew to the space node under the guidance of two small warships, Yang Yi called Lin Feng and Shen Chengwen over.

After returning to the homeland galaxy, Yang Yi never had time to meet Shen Chengwen.

Fortunately, Lin Feng said, but Shen Chengwen was different. When he was at the traffic station, Yang Yi noticed that Shen Chengwen was not as casual and a little cautious as before.

"Old Shen, I'm dragging you on again."

Shen Chengwen smiled reluctantly, without saying much.

"Actually, it's just an epaulette." Yang Yi sighed and said, "Anyway, we are brothers and comrades who have faced the test of life and death together. If you think that because I was promoted and became a major general, our relationship Changes will happen, then I can take off this military uniform."

"General..."

"Old Shen, I'm not happy for you to call it that way." Yang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "When I get to the battlefield, the enemy will not take special care of me because of my rank, so I hope you do the same. Just like me. At the beginning, we are brothers and nothing will change."

Shen Chengwen nodded and didn't say much.

"Well, I'm not wordy." Yang Yi sighed secretly, knowing that just a few words can't change much. "The main task of this expedition is to assist the Star Weavers to launch a counterattack. Our combat area is the Greenwich Line. If it goes well, we can quickly control the entire Greenwich Line. However, the combat operation will not end. Our goal is to cross over. The Greenwich line of defense, march into the Northern Alpha galaxy, and have to hurry up before other civilizations send troops. To put it simply, we can push the front to the enemy’s territory as quickly as possible. As for what we are going to do next, and how we should fight, for the time being It’s not within our consideration."

"Just assisting the Star Weaving Clan?" Lin Feng asked first.

"It is nominally to assist the Star Weavers, but in fact we act as the main force. To be precise, it is the Star Weavers to assist us."

Lin Feng was taken aback for a while, looking extremely surprised.

"Relying on our forces to march into the Northern Alpha Galaxy?" Shen Chengwen was also extremely shocked, staring at Yang Yi with a completely unbelievable appearance.

"Why, don't you have confidence?"

"This is not a question of confidence. How many legions do we have? Not to mention the strength of our hands, even if all nine theaters are deployed, it may not be able to cross the Greenwich meteorite belt, let alone gain a foothold in the Northern Alpha Galaxy. , We launched a strategic counterattack. When we invaded the Northern Alpha galaxy, we could say that the lineup was strong, and we also got the support of almost all top civilizations. The result? The battle of "Peace Dawn", we lost our troops. If it weren't for the loss of the Silicon Charm Alliance The confidence and fighting spirit to win, I am afraid the consequences are hard to imagine. Compared with a thousand years ago, we are in a more dangerous situation now. It is good to rely on this little force in our hands, let alone win, and be able to protect ourselves."

After Shen Chengwen finished speaking in one breath, Lin Feng also nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Shen Chengwen's point of view.

"I'm talking about marching into the Northern Alpha system, not winning."

"What's the difference?"

Yang Yi smiled faintly, and said: "Our mission is to advance the front to the Northern Alpha Galaxy, not to give the Silicon Charm Alliance a chance to breathe."

Shen Chengwen was taken aback for a moment, and then he frowned.

"Of course, another purpose of this move is to allow this war to continue, so that everyone knows that the war did not end because of the retreat of the Silicon Magic army, and it will not end because of this. Only in this way can more troops be mobilized, and It is possible to win the final victory."

"But… "

"Old Shen, you are a sensible person. After returning to the homeland galaxy, don't you think that after the retreat of the Silicon Magic army, many people think that the war is over, and therefore start to dream about peace, thinking that it will not be long before we will be like The armistice agreement was signed again with the Silicon Magic Alliance a thousand years ago. Then, in your opinion, if this trend of thought spreads, will we get peace or destruction?"

At this time, Shen Chengwen fell silent.

Yang Yi didn't say much, Shen Chengwen is a wise man, and he just clicked.

"The problem is that our strength is too small. Even if we have the support of many colonial galaxies, there will be no more than 500 legions that can be mobilized."

"Not so many, two hundred at most, and most of them lack actual combat experience. Only the dozens of legions that participated in the battle of Feng Martian can be relied on."

Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but sighed.

"Actually, these are not problems. For us, we first need to understand the current situation and figure out what to do and what to do."

When Yang Yi said this, Lin Feng and Shen Chengwen both laughed bitterly.
