Chapter 1411 Slap
To a certain extent, when facing a veteran, she felt as if she was looking at herself in the mirror. The biggest difference was that she changed from a female body to a male body... or a middle-aged battlefield veteran.
She turned her head to look at the rising sun, and said in a softer tone than before: "I have another purpose for coming to Star Hilde this time --- to pick up Valeria Apollo's ashes Reuniting with Aros, this is the only thing I can do as a comrade-in-arms. You can choose to stay in the Silver Eagle Group, or you can choose to leave with me... After all, according to Valeria's last wish, she hopes that you can complete the ordinary this journey of life."
"Thank you... for everything you have done for our father and son." Yeager said sincerely, looking at her face painted with warm colors in the sun.
Nova said nothing. Yeager turned his head and looked at the words "May there be an afterlife" on the tombstone.
………………
The political turmoil brought about by the long-term loss of contact with the third consul of the Silver Eagles, Thomas Angkeru, remained calm. In less than a month, the Phoenix Empire on the other side has undergone an earth-shaking change.
It is generally believed that Virginia Alexander moved the palace for the second time and left the Fillmos star system because he was not optimistic about the future of the capital star system. Facing the rebellious coalition forces of Kursk Alexander and Ingrid Alexander, even if the Fillmos star system has many experimental weapons, it is impossible to block the attack of the two elite troops of the Empire under the condition of unstable foundation.
Earl Marlowe Smith, who had just recovered from his illness, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Capital Defense Forces, not so much as adding an official to the rank, but as driving ducks to the shelves. Think of him as a civilian politician, how is he good at leading troops to fight.
Others felt that Virginia Alexander was playing a trick. You must know that the slogan shouted by Alexander Kursk before the Darham star system was "the king's side, the traitor".
So who is by the king's side, and who is the treacherous generation? The answer is obvious.
Now that Virginia Alexander has appointed Marlo Smith to command this defensive battle that is almost impossible to win, is it possible to sacrifice Marlo Smith and win some room for maneuver for himself? Thinking about it this way, the fate of Mr. Earl is really too sad.
Ever since Alexander of Virginia chanted the slogan of reform, Marlo Smith was the only one who really put it into action and promoted the process of innovation. Stories of the Earl's gallantry were spread among the crowd. For example, positively satirizing the First Prince, for example, actively rescuing those advocates who took to the streets...
While outsiders were focusing their attention on the Fillmos star system, the people of the Phoenix Empire focused more on Earl Marlowe, hoping that a miracle would come and save him from this disaster.
Some people even voiced their voices in the media calling on Marlo Smith to give up this hot ass official position, and simply flee overseas to protect himself wisely. After all, he has done well enough to be worthy of the people of the Phoenix Empire.
Some people tried to give Virginia Alexander some advice, and sent Marlo Smith to meet Captain Tang in the Dilar star system, and contacted the Adam government through the relationship forged by Morningstar to negotiate on the invasion of the Star Alliance navy. As long as Earl Marlowe handled it properly, it would be easy to drag Morning Star into the water.
In this way, Kursk Alexander and Ingrid Alexander must be cautious and dare not make too much trouble, so as to gain reaction time for His Majesty the Holy Emperor to gather conservative troops. We must know the current situation of the Phoenix Empire, except that the confrontation between the conservatives and the radicals has entered a fierce state, and the Star Alliance and the Monya Empire have also extended their tentacles.
How else can we say that there are many smart people in this world, who can even come up with such a curve to save the country.
Of course, there are also opponents who commented that this method is a bad idea. Perhaps Captain Tang of the Dilar star system is eyeing the Phoenix Empire, hoping that someone will come to his door.
Give him an excuse to send troops to the Fillmos star system... This is not a curve to save the country, this is clearly a way to lure wolves into the house. It is true that His Majesty the Holy Emperor is determined to carry out drastic reforms, but it does not mean that he will become friends with Morning Star Casting.
Just when public opinion in the Phoenix Empire stirred up waves of Marlowe Smith's future fate, the joint fleet led by Alexander Kursk arrived outside the Fillmos star system and attacked the defense line deployed by relying on the first layer of warp speed interception network. Launch a ferocious attack.
People had expected the attackers to encounter tough resistance, after all, the capital's guards were not vegetarians. However, unexpectedly, although the coalition forces suffered a certain degree of damage, they broke through the first layer of defense network in a relatively short period of time.
Outsiders have no way of knowing the strategic deployment of the Fillmos star system, and believe that Earl Marlowe has shrunk the line of defense, concentrated his superior forces, and focused his defense on the second layer of defense based on the second layer of warp speed interception network.
But then there was news that the second defensive line was torn apart by the fleet led by Alexander Kursk.
The coalition forces smashed the first layer of defense and the second layer of defense one after another. Wouldn't the capital planet be directly exposed to the enemy's guns? Could it be that Marlo Smith is planning a brutal space orbital battle?
There is nothing wrong with thinking this way. After all, ground weapons can pose a considerable threat to enemies on the orbital battlefield. God knows how many pairs of orbital weapons Virginia Alexander placed on his planet. The coalition forces led by Alexander Kursk broke through the first and second layers of defense one after another. The so-called "one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion", facing the capital guards and orbital defense network that is recharging their energy and waiting for work, the coalition forces must Difficult to sustain for a long time, thus bringing the dawn of the Jedi counterattack to Marlowe Smith.
Who said that Mr. Earl is a civil servant who is good at politics but clumsy at commanding. Ordinary people can't think of such a strategy to defend against the enemy.
The people expected him to make a good turnaround, but unfortunately this did not happen... Kursk Alexander released a message to the outside world. A video, to be exact.
There is no shadow of the Capital Guard at all in the high and low orbits of the capital planet. There are only some miscellaneous troops such as the Orbital Administration, the Ocean Inspection Team, and the National Security Bureau Special Service Fleet. Even with artillery support from the ground, can such a mob defeat the elite of the Empire?
The answer is naturally no.
So what about the Capital Guard and the Allied Defense Fleet headed by Marlo Smith? Any fool can see that Mr. Earl played a funk, almost giving up the capital's star system to the crusade against the coalition forces.
Kursk Alexander did not take down the capital star system immediately, but took pictures of the battlefield and broadcast it to the outside world as soon as possible. Why? The purpose is to humiliate and satirize His Majesty the Holy Emperor and those who care about the safety of Marlowe Smith.
Tsk tsk... The most talented young politician in the empire, the pillar of the country, is simply a coward. Facing him, Alexander of Kursk, he didn't even have the courage to fight a war, so he ran away with his tail between his legs.
There is no doubt that this will damage the morale of conservative lords and officials, boost the morale of radical lords and officials, and will also create his invincible reputation. On the other hand, it can also weaken Marlo Smith's growing reputation in the hearts of the people of the Phoenix Empire, disintegrate the people's expectations for a turnaround, and suppress the hidden wave of change with tyrannical force.
From the battle of the Durham star system to the battle of the Fillmos star system, Alexander of Kursk pushed his military career to the pinnacle of glory.
The successive plot twists stunned those who cared about the country's political situation. Both domestic people and foreign spectators were stunned, wondering if Marlo Smith really evacuated the Filmos star system ahead of time because of the bad situation?
Many people resort to the mental victory method to comfort their wounded hearts---although it is embarrassing to do so, but somehow they saved their lives. , It can be called a strategic shift, and history is not without precedent.
Things in the world are far more dramatic than stories. Kursk Alexander slapped those who expected Marlo Smith with the facts, but before he recovered from the frenzy and excitement, an urgent military message sent by the communication officer made his smile froze on his face superior.
It was an intel concerning the whereabouts of Marlo Smith. He finally knew where the Earl had led his capital guard and joint defense fleet. They were not as greedy for life and fear of death as he thought, and fled the battle. They actually successfully ambushed Ingrid Alexander's Jupiter Expeditionary Army.
Kursk Alexander did not expect this to happen anyway... no, to be precise, almost no one expected Marlo Smith to go off and fuck that slut.
As an important person who started the country's civil war, he was able to obtain the latest battle reports from the front line at the first time, and then make various reactions. Domestic people and international people who are concerned about this war are slower to learn the news, but they cannot be kept in the dark for a long time. After all, this matter is too big. Kursk Alexander can block this news in the radical-controlled area spread, but there is no way to cover all the lids.
There was an uproar in the entire Hillenbel region. At first, they were a little disappointed with Marlo Smith's behavior, but those who understood were excited by the good news. Many people can't help but pour themselves a glass of whiskey, or take a sip of vodka, or light a cigarette and put it in their mouths, or even have a good meal.
People in the settlements of Huaxia descendants like to use firecrackers to express their joy.
From this we can imagine how popular Marlo Smith's recent series of initiatives are.
Although he gave up the Fillmos star system, he made Ingrid Alexander, that stinky bitch, ashamed and lost more than 30% of his troops, while the interceptor lost less than 10% of his troops. It can be said to be a big victory.
Unexpectedly, Marlowe Smith had such a clever and ingenious performance in commanding an army for the first time. Such a development suddenly surprised many people.
From the standpoint of ordinary people, and even most generals and politicians, facing the coalition forces of Prince Kursk who are about to arrive in the Fillmos star system, the first choice is naturally to strengthen the defense of the capital city and cooperate with the capital guards and the joint defense fleet. A rigorous defensive battle. If you don't have the confidence to win this war, your second choice is to give up the territory, and just like His Majesty the Holy Emperor, just smear the soles of your feet and slip away.
But Marlo Smith didn't do that. He actually shot a feint and let Prince Kursk's coalition forces run to snipe Ingrid's coalition forces.
Because of the relationship between the time and distance of sending troops, the Kursk Prince's coalition forces will reach the outer reaches of the Fillmos star system earlier than the Ingrid coalition forces. In other words, Marlo Smith's biggest immediate enemy is Kursk Alexander.
According to the results of normal war games, when Ingrid Alexander's coalition forces arrive at the Fillmos star system, there is a high probability that the battle will come to an end. Unless Kursk Alexander tried his best to restrain his slow attack, and actively waited for the arrival of friendly troops to attack the target together. An arrangement like this may reduce the loss of coalition troops, but on the other hand, it will give the conservative lord more time to react, which is exactly what the radicals don't want to see.
Based on the above information, most viewers did not think that the Allied Forces of Ingrid would become the protagonists in the offensive and defensive battle of the Fillmos star system, thus ignoring their existence...until Earl Marlow caught everyone by surprise.
The coalition forces of Prince Kursk are leading the battle ahead. Of course, Ingrid Alexander will not be overly vigilant about the situation along the way. The most reasonable arrangement is to conduct general inspections, spend most of his energy on the road, and arrive as early as possible. Fillmores star system, buy more time for radicals.
If it's an average fleet... No, even if it's the Capital Guard, it's not very likely to bypass the Jupiter Expeditionary Force's scout fleet and learn the route of the main force of the Ingrid Alliance. But don't forget that His Majesty the Holy Emperor still has a new weapon that is more powerful in stealth than the original deep diver fleet. Its existence provides a successful foundation for this interception operation.
The number of warships under Marlo Smith's command is four to five times that of Ingrid Alexander's. If you don't mention the ending, but only in terms of the number of enemy warships damaged, there is no doubt that this is a victory enough to be written in war history.
What is a strategic retreat? This is called a strategic retreat, a calm migration with the goal of reducing 30% of the enemy's elite troops... It is not the so-called "strategic transfer" that boasted in history.
The previous campaign and propaganda of Alexander of Kursk was completely reduced to a laughingstock, and His Royal Highness, who was overwhelmed by successive victories, was slapped loudly. (Tianjin Novel Network)
