1572 War Expansion

"This morning's news, the enemy of the empire in the universe, the guardian who threatens all life in the world, has invaded the planet Higgs 4..." On the TV screen, a news anchor sitting at the table People solemnly reported the latest news.

The sudden change of direction of the Watchmen's attack and the surprise attack on the Higgs 4 planet had become the most eye-catching news in the morning news.

Another TV station, a beautiful news anchor, is also introducing the battle situation in the Higgs region: "According to the latest reports, the Empire's 6th Fleet is engaged in battle with the Guardian fleet near the Higgs 4 planet, and the losses on both sides are huge. .”

On another channel, the host switched to some shaky pictures recorded live: "Higgs local TV station reports you the latest news from the frontline...the scene of the Watcher landing and the crash of the spaceship..."

And on a private TV station, front-line reporters are broadcasting live in the Higgs 4 area: "Now Hardison will bring you the latest front-line reports... Have you seen the positions over there? Passing by these soldiers in front of me, Reinforcements are being sent to that position...the enemy is only..."

Because the Higgs 4 planet was attacked suddenly, although there were no civilians to evacuate, there were still some non-combatants stranded.

For example, the reporter in front of the report was actually sent by the TV station to the planet Higgs 4 to interview some local soldiers about their lives.

As a result, he encountered the invasion of the enemy, so he was also lucky or very unfortunate to take pictures of the invasion of the watchmen's troops.

In the footage of the camera, teams of soldiers are running nervously along the trenches towards the front line of defense, and behind them, one after another, anti-aircraft missiles are rushing towards the sky with white tail smoke.

The Guardian troops invaded the planet Higgs 4, and the news that the Irish Empire army rose up to resist was noisy, and people were talking about it everywhere.

Those who once thought that the war seemed far away from them also felt the tremendous pressure brought by the war at the moment when the war expanded.

After all, the war has been compressed near the Higgs 5 planet before, so it has been a long time, and everyone is a little bit disapproving.

Many people believed that the Warden's invasion was nothing more than that, and some even began to feel that His Majesty's previous mobilization seemed a bit of a big deal.

But now, after the invasion of the Higgs 4 planet, everyone feels the tension of war breaking out.

Because the enemy can attack Higgs 4 by bypassing the front line, it is possible to try again and send a fleet to attack Higgs 1, or even other large areas behind Higgs.

A tense atmosphere permeated the air, pedestrians on the street whispered to each other, and the holographic projection billboards on the huge buildings were still broadcasting news about the invasion of the Higgs 4 planet.

On another screen about the size of a badminton court, a sweet-looking host was wearing a pink dress, sitting in front of the camera, and asked the special guest beside him, "Excuse me, Mr. What do you think about invading the Higgs 4 planet?"

The military commentator, whose hairline is already high, crossed his hands on the table, rolling his thumbs back and forth,

Confidently interpreted: "Actually, I have been paying attention to the invasion of the Watchmen's forces. I think that this time the Watchmen's fleet changed the direction of the invasion, which is actually a sign of insufficient strength."

"Oh? Why do you know that?" The host asked based on the rehearsed questions in advance.

The military special guest named Hutching immediately replied: "It's like this. If the warring party feels that their strength is sufficient and the attack is effective when attacking, then they will not change the planned battle plan. .”

"Can you explain in more detail?" Obviously, the host doesn't understand military affairs, so she can only politely ask the expert to explain her point of view clearly.

"Yes, it's actually easy to understand. Only when they think that the offensive force is insufficient, the high-level will give up the original offensive plan under pressure, change the direction of the offensive, and try to make a breakthrough." This military officer named Hutching The expert explained swearingly.

"Oh! So that's the case! So we are not far from victory?" The host smiled and looked at Mr. Hutching hopefully.

Mr. Hutching nodded, as if I had already figured it out: "Yes! I think it is like this. In a year at most, the Watcher's troops who are weak in attack will fail completely... We will eventually get the final victory."

The Irish Hill Empire has never lost a foreign war, so many people are very confident in the outcome of the Empire's victory. All they care about is this process, and all they care about is this process.

However, there are still many people who have analyzed something different from some clues: the Alan Hill Empire has never been entangled with an enemy for such a long time.

In the various wars in the past, it only took less than a month for the Alan Hill Empire to break through and start a counterattack.

But now, the Alan Hill Empire has been fighting fiercely with the enemy for more than a month, but it is still passive.

The enemy has already invaded the Higgs planet 5, and now it is attacking the Higgs planet 4 - after a month of fierce fighting, the enemy has not been driven out of the territory. It's just impossible.

Anyway, the war has expanded, Higgs 4 has become the front line, fighting has broken out on the ground, and the Sweeper army is trying to expand its landing field.

At the same time, on the planet Mayne 1 in the Mayne region, in the bustling city, beside the busy streets, a child held a model of a Z-30 multi-purpose helicopter in his hand, simulating the engine in his mouth. voice, chasing another child ahead.

The child was holding a plastic electromagnetic rifle in his hand. When the trigger was pulled, the transparent parts on the gun's body would flash bright colored lights.

He was also mumbling the sound of machine gun fire, and the two of them chased and played, making a series of laughter like silver bells. They run under the bustling lights, and it seems that the ongoing war has nothing to do with them.

Everything here is still prosperous, the neon lights are still flashing, and the fierce battle continues on the planets Higgs 5 and Higgs 4, which are far away from here. This is war, this is the ongoing cruel war between the Alan Hill Empire and the Watcher!

...

In the universe, inside the flagship bridge of the Fifth Fleet of the Elland Hill Empire, which suffered heavy losses, General Walter sat pale in his command position.

In the past day, his fleet lost more than 240 battleships and sank more than 510 cruisers. The wreckage of the warships of the Elland Hill Empire is floating everywhere in the universe, and space junk is scattered everywhere.

The losses of the Watcher fleet on the opposite side were even heavier, because the Watcher forces were attacking with all their strength, trying to drive the fleet of the Alan Hill Empire out of the nearby space domain.

But to their surprise, the space fleet of the Alan Hill Empire near the planet Higgs 4 did not retreat, and even continued to invest troops to organize counterattacks.

Two hours ago, the fleet of the Alan Hill Empire even drove the Guardian fleet away from the Higgs 4 planet. But then the Watcher fleet counterattacked again, regaining control of part of the universe near Higgs 4.

"General! The battleship Anger was severely damaged, and the maintenance battleship is dragging it away from the battlefield. Captain Surat called, and he regretted not being able to complete the task of repelling the enemy." The adjutant walked behind Walter and reported. .

In fact, the news that the seriously injured warship was dragged away from the battlefield is a second-class news that can be reported or not. At this time, the adjutant reported the news, but the most important thing was to help Walter get out of the deep self-blame.

The enemy forces indeed infiltrated the Higgs 4 atmosphere from under the nose of the 5th Fleet, and the 5th Fleet must be responsible for this.

"I see..." Walter bowed his head a little dejectedly. He has not eaten or rested for 24 hours. Facing such a mistake, he really refuses to forgive himself.

"General! The video of the Alan Sirius special line..." The officer in charge of communications was taken aback when he saw the call signal, and then immediately spoke to Walter who was not far behind.

Walter was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head to look at the main screen of the bridge, and soon a figure appeared there, an extremely majestic figure in a dress.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!" The clone officers and natural officer officers in the bridge, and even some elf or dwarf officers stood up from their seats, raised their chins and stood at attention and saluted. .

The busy non-commissioned officers and officers who were walking around also stopped their steps and shouted loudly to the man on the screen: "Long live Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"Walter!" On the screen, Chris seemed very dissatisfied, and his voice was stern.

Walter's nose was sore, and tears almost flowed out - he was a veteran who joined the army with His Majesty the Emperor, and he was also one of the most confidant generals of His Majesty the Emperor of the Alan Hill Empire.

Originally, he was the commander-in-chief of the most elite 2nd Army in the empire, and later he was directly promoted to the commander-in-chief of the 2nd Army Group.

At a young age, he made great contributions to the empire, and at the same time became a high-ranking official of the empire.

Later, he was transferred to the Space Force and became the commander of the Space Fleet. As His Majesty's confidant, he even got the opportunity to command the fleet more advancedly than the more experienced generals such as Plun Aike.

Today, as the commander of the 5th Fleet, he failed His Majesty's trust and let the empire's territory burn in flames of war. This sin... oppressed Walter to commit suicide and apologize.

"It's my fault for making you so terrified..." In the video call, Chris's words continued, but the content of the words made Walter raise his head suddenly.

"Your Majesty! It's my servant..." Walter was not willing to let Chris take the blame for him, and immediately took the initiative to argue: "It's my servant who didn't finish it..."

"Walter! I don't want to see the general I trust so depressed! Failure is not terrible! The terrible thing is that after the failure, he gave up on himself and fell down like this!" Chris interrupted Walter, with a sullen hatred of iron and steel, shouted loudly.

"We have been victorious in the past, making you all feel that victory is inevitable and within easy reach..." Chris continued: "This is wrong! One failure doesn't mean anything. In my opinion, your failure came too soon. It's a little late!"

"Cheer up! My general shouldn't fall down because of one failure! Be brave! Turn today's lesson into valuable experience and make yourself stronger! More perfect!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Walter did not stand at attention with the new military salute, but knelt down in front of the screen on one knee. This is the kneeling ceremony of the Siris era, and it is also the etiquette for Walter to meet Chris for the first time and take over the use of the 2nd Infantry Regiment from Chris.

"Your Majesty must live up to His Majesty's teachings! Fight to the death for Your Majesty!" He lowered his head, speaking with a fierceness piercing his heart.

"Death is not a good destination! I hope we are all alive, to witness the advent of a new era, to witness the glory of the empire... I hope you can return with a brave warrior instead of a tragic death in battle! Do you understand?" Ke Reese corrected Walter again.

Walter had tears in his eyes, because he knew it was really between Chris and him personally. As the emperor of the empire, Chris was able to take the initiative to connect to the video call to comfort a courtier who made a mistake. This is already a great kindness.

In fact, if Chris doesn't miss the old feelings, such a mistake that affects the battle situation, replacing the commander Walter, and killing him as an example is not too much.

After all, as a fleet commander, such a mistake is unacceptable in terms of results.

"Your Majesty..." Choking with sobs, Walter didn't know what to say for a moment. The man who commanded thousands of troops couldn't help sobbing at this moment.

"Okay! What does it look like! Go! Become my invincible and invincible general Walter again! Lead the brave and tenacious 5th Fleet to defeat the invaders!" Chris encouraged.

"Yes! Your Majesty! The minister will definitely find himself and fight for the Alan Hill Empire to the last moment!" Walter stood up from the ground and replied firmly.

"I'm waiting for your good news!" Chris nodded: "Goodbye!"

In the next second, the big screen in front of Walter went out.
