Chapter 1349 A Tragic Victory
"Report to Your Majesty, there is a communication from General Otan.",
Twelve hours later, Shenzhou Great World.
In the imperial capital of Xianyang, in the Xianyang Palace, Zhao Gaozheng reported this to His Majesty the Emperor.
"read!"
Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Ying Ji waved his hand and said, but he already had some guesses in his heart.
"promise!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao bowed to his promise, and then reported the communication from General Otan truthfully.
…
"Report to Your Majesty: As of the forty-fifth year of Genesis, on May 28, the forty-fifth year of the First Emperor, after half a month of fierce fighting, our First Cosmic Expeditionary Army has successfully defeated the invading enemy and won the second cosmic war. ."
"The specific battle report is as follows:
"Half a day before the first day of the war: our army sent four naval fleets and an immortal second-level powerhouse (deputy commander Fengyun Wuji) into the hyperspace to lure the enemy, and succeeded after paying a great price Lead the main force of the enemy from hyperspace to the 309th star field, and the second cosmic war officially broke out."
"Half a day after the first day of the war: My First Cosmic Expeditionary Force seized the fighter and detonated the star of the 309th star field when the battle was fierce, and finally successfully destroyed nearly 300,000 combined fleet battleships, which once made the enemy of the universe lost. Offensive capability."
"The second day of the war: After nearly half of the enemy's main force came, our First Cosmos Expeditionary Corps skillfully used a trick to move the tiger away from the mountain, and finally succeeded in removing the immortal second-order level in the enemy's army under the circumstance that the deputy commander Feng Yun Wuji personally took action. When the strong move away from the battlefield, the plan to move the tiger away from the mountain succeeds."
"The third day of the war..."
"The fifth day of the war..."
"The seventh day of the war..."
"The tenth day of the war..."
"The fourteenth day of the war..."
"The above is the specific war report, I hope His Majesty the Emperor will learn from it."
"—The forty-fifth year of Genesis, on May 28, the forty-fifth year of the First Emperor, Aotan, commander of the First Universe Expedition Army of the Great Qin Empire."
…
"How about the casualties of the First Universe Expeditionary Army?"
After listening to the war report, Yingji Gujing Wubo's face did not show the slightest joy or anger.
Without expressing any opinion on this war report from the front line, Ying Ji turned to Zhao Gao and asked Zhao Gao about the casualties of the First Universe Expeditionary Army.
…
"Report to Your Majesty, there is indeed a detailed casualty report of the First Universe Expeditionary Force in the communication from General Otan, and the casualties are not low."
"According to General Otan's report, although the First Universe Expeditionary Force miraculously defeated the cosmic enemy who had an absolute military superiority in the Second Universe War, the First Universe Expeditionary Force paid for it. The price is also quite high.”
"During the half-month battle, the First Cosmos Expeditionary Force destroyed and damaged more than 500,000 enemy warships, but it also suffered losses of nearly 40,000 space warships of various types."
"It includes 37 star destroyers, 84 space aircraft carriers, 321 battleships, and nearly 1,000 cruisers and other strategic and quasi-strategic warships."
"In addition to the loss of battleships, fifty naval fleets, with a total of one million marines, also lost as many as 730,000, and the number of martyred generals was 65."
"Among them, there are 34 brigadier generals, 16 major generals, and 15 lieutenant generals."
"It's just the Navy's losses, the Army's losses in the war were equally heavy."
"In the half-moon war, the army lost a total of seventeen planetary cannons, and more than 1.14 million soldiers died in the battle. A total of forty-seven schools, eleven cities, and four brigades were all formed in the war. Eighty-nine generals died."
"Among them, there are forty-seven brigadier generals, twenty-three major generals, and nineteen lieutenant generals."
"Overall, the navy has a 70 percent fatality rate, and the army's death rate is around 20 percent."
"However, because of the huge size of the army, the army's 20% death rate seems to be far lower than the 70% death rate of the navy, but the actual number of casualties in the army far exceeds the navy."
…
Hearing His Majesty the Emperor asked about casualties, Zhao Gao felt a little nervous, but he still reported the actual casualties of the First Universe Expeditionary Army to His Majesty the Emperor.
After reporting the casualties, Zhao Gao, who was proficient in conspiracy and power, was also a little uneasy at this time when he suddenly fell into the silent Xianyang Palace.
For fear that His Majesty the Emperor would be furious because of the huge casualties.
If that is the case, Zhao Gao dares to guarantee that a lot of people's official positions may be lost in an instant, including himself.
...
"With absolutely weak soldiers to defeat the absolutely superior enemy, destroy and injure more than 500,000 enemy warships, and kill more than 60 enemy longevity-level powerhouses."
"It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely an unprecedented victory for Da Qin since its founding."
In the Xianyang Palace, which was so silent that even breathing was unusually harsh, after being silent for a while, Ying Ji slowly opened his mouth and said, already recognizing the brilliant achievements of the First Universe Expeditionary Army.
Hearing His Majesty the Emperor's words, just when Zhao Gao felt a little more relaxed, Ying Ji spoke again.
"but……"
This one, however, immediately made Zhao Gao's heart relax again.
"But the casualties of the army are still a little too high."
Looking at Zhao Gao, Ying Ji said slowly.
"The navy's death rate is 70%, and the army's death rate is 20%..."
"The number of generals killed in the navy reached 65, the number of generals killed in the army reached 89, and a total of 154 generals were killed in the two armies..."
"The combined casualties of the naval and land armies are close to two million..."
"This price is too high, you must know that these are the elites of the empire."
"If you lose so many elites and equipment at one time, I'm afraid that you won't be able to recover at all in three or five years."
"And more importantly, nearly two million soldiers and soldiers represent the brokenness of nearly two million or even nearly four million families."
""After this war, although the history of the empire's foreign expeditions will add a splendid page, nearly two million heroic spirits will also be added to the Monument of Loyal Souls. "
"I don't know how many orphans and widows, and how many orphaned old people there will be in the world."
"So many things, how can I bear it in my heart?"
"Ugh!"
At the end, Ying Ji sighed heavily, and his words were full of unbearable meaning.
It's not that Ying Ji is playing on the scene, but that the truth is revealed.
After all, from the beginning to the end, whether in the Great World of Shenzhou or the World of Experience in the Heavens, Ying Ji has never regarded his subordinates as tools.
In Ying Ji's eyes, whether it is the soldiers of the Perfect Great Qin Xianting or the soldiers of the Great Qin Xianting of Shenzhou, they are all real people with flesh and blood, family members and feelings.
Today, nearly 2 million flesh-and-blood soldiers were killed in World War I, which made Ying Ji gratified but also gave birth to a lot of unbearable.
It can be seen from this that Ying Ji is not walking the ruthless way.
