Chapter 826: House Arrest Before the War
Vormir.
In the outer orbit of the planet, the seven battleships of the First Order are docked at the temporary dock.
One day after the arrival of the First Order, six satellites were placed in the orbit of the planet, and the entire planet Vormir had been scanned, and the distribution of the enemies had been initially grasped.
Judging from the deployment of troops and generals and the large-scale movement of the aliens, it is obvious that they have also discovered their existence.
It stands to reason that it should be time to attack in one go, but at this time something unexpected happened.
In terms of offensive tactics and arrangements, the seven army chiefs could not reach an agreement.
"In that case, let's vote!"
"Raise your hand if you agree to direct ship intervention and air strike." After one of the legion chiefs finished speaking, the legion chiefs on the ring seats raised their hands one after another.
The man looked around, there were six of them, and the dust settled.
"Cheng Qi, I understand what you mean, but what I want to say is that you are still too cautious in the face of a war of this scale."
"Our satellites have been detecting for a day. Although the enemy has various buildings and defenses, they have not scanned the prevention and control forces at all. War is all about speed. We must grasp the opportunity when we see it. Otherwise, the situation will change rapidly and we will lose this opportunity to wait for the other side. The price we have to pay for developing an anti-air solution is very high."
The man's tone is old-fashioned, but there is nothing wrong with what he said.
War is indeed an art of seeking opportunities and making the most accurate judgments amidst rapid changes.
Being submissive and indecisive is not a good commanding officer.
Facing the votes of the other six legion commanders, Ning Chengqi frowned, and recalled the conversation with Link in the past again in his mind.
"Vormir has countermeasures against ships and air strikes. Once it enters the air, it will inevitably be attacked. Therefore, only when the legion enters the ground and fights by land can the enemy be defeated."
Ning Chengqi was deeply impressed by Link's voice, appearance, and determined tone.
Coupled with the wise man's previous prophecy and Link's own admission, Ning Chengqi believed in Link's suggestion even more.
"Vormir is an important place for troops on alien planets. It is impossible to have no arrangements at all. The satellite's surface scan can only show that there are no air control measures on the ground, but it does not mean that there are no underground measures." Ning Chengqi firmly stood his ground.
During the banquet, the expressions on the faces of the other six legion commanders were a little puzzled and strange.
Ning Chengqi's behavior was indeed suspicious.
"But we have already voted with a show of hands, six to one, and we must abide by the decision."
This sentence made Ning Chengxi unable to refute. The votes of the seven legion commanders are in line with the laws of the first order. Once the decision is made, it must be implemented, otherwise it will be regarded as resistance to the law.
Seeing that the plan failed, Ning Chengqi changed his words: "Attacking is also possible, but I don't recommend going in directly in formation. We can use drones or small forces to conduct fixed-point attacks first, which happens to be able to see the enemy's rear. and command."
This time, the several legion commanders present did not directly object, but the expressions on their faces became more and more strange.
"Cheng Kei,
Is there something you are hiding from us? "One of the legion commanders asked.
Ning Chengqi forced himself to be calm, and raised an awkward but polite smile: "No, I just think it's too aggressive. In a battle of this level, we must slow down."
"You can't eat a fat man in one bite, not to mention that Alien has been fighting us for more than a thousand years. If it was solved so easily, the battle would have ended long ago."
Cagle, the head of the First Army, retorted: "It is precisely because we have been timid and overly conservative in our previous wars for more than a thousand years, that caused the war to last so long! Now the enemy is in front of us, and we have no power to restrain the chicken." , instead of concentrating on direct firepower to destroy it, we think about attacking slowly..."
Cagle adjusted his glasses, and a white light flashed across the lens: "Cheng Qi, from the start of this Nest Overlapping Project, your performance is different from the previous battles. It seems that you have something on your mind. I need your explanation."
"That's right, Cheng Qi, you should be the most fighting spirit and the most radical among us. Why did you act a little timidly in this nest-overlapping plan? What are you worried about?"
"Back in Mustafa, the wise men had already decided to attack with the whole army, but you insisted on saying that you were worried about something wrong with the alien planet, so you kept some troops."
"Alien has absolutely no ability to build aircraft. It is superfluous to leave some combat power. At that time, I thought it was just for insurance, but combined with your state along the way, it is really doubtful."
"And you were reticent along the way, looking worried. It is completely inconsistent with your previous posture when you were in a battle."
The other legion leaders also expressed their doubts in unison.
"Ai, if Cheng Qi doesn't say it, you can say it for him." Kagel looked at Ning Chengqi's adjutant Ai.
Ai Weiwei took half a step back, nodded and lowered his head: "I'm sorry, if the commanders of the corps want to hear some stories, then I can only disappoint you, and there is no story."
Ning Chengqi didn't make a statement, and Ai didn't say a word, the two advanced and retreated together.
It can't be said that when I met a person who was prophesied by a wise man before, he said that Alien Star had already prepared for it, right?
If Ning Chengqi said that, there would definitely be a wave of cross-examination. Moreover, Link himself didn't show up. If he revealed the existence of this person in advance, he would definitely be regarded as hostile after Link actually showed up, and Alien Star would have room to breathe.
Most importantly, in the wise man's prediction, Link is the "variable" that ends the war. Since it is a variable, his appearance and exposure must be done according to his own wishes. If he exposes himself in advance and triggers the butterfly effect, no one knows where this war will go in the future.
The other six legion commanders glanced at each other and suddenly felt a sense of danger.
"Since you don't want to say it, according to the regulations, the six of us think that you are dangerous. The Seventh Corps will be temporarily restricted from participating in the attack. And Cheng Qi, you and Ai will be restricted in their freedom of movement, and we will arrange special guards."
Kagel made a decisive decision, although he didn't know what Ning Chengqi was hiding, but in order to be safe in this war, emergency measures can only be used in emergencies.
"We don't doubt your loyalty to the First Order, we just have doubts about your behavior. When you are willing to say it, we will discuss the Seventh Corps to fight."
Due to unexpected changes, the Seventh Corps was restricted in its actions, so the previously mentioned attack by the whole army became a luxury.
Several legion commanders had to allocate part of their troops to guard the members of the Seventh Corps.
Ning Chengqi saw that few people could be dissuaded, but he thought that although he was under house arrest, at least using this method to involve part of the corps' combat power was the only thing he could do now.
Cagle got up, stood on the deck, looked at Vormir under his feet through the wide-angle window of the battleship, and ordered one after another crisply.
Temporary dock.
The Dreadnought of the First Legion and the Resolute of the Second Legion left the dock and began to sail towards Vormeer.
At the same time, there were drones and fighter jets on several other ships, forming a formation to escort around the ship, forming a formation to attack Vormir!
