Chapter 2906 Huitian Fleet

Just when His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress Dowager of the New Empire were deeply shocked by the news of a catastrophe and could hardly control the trembling of their facial nerves and hands, Huanglongjie, the capital of the Song family, which was far away from the imperial capital, was also the so-called "old "Empire" His Majesty Emperor Chengwu was walking on the low-earth orbit of the main star, and inside a starship that was as majestic as a sword drawn out of its sheath, some people sighed, distressed by the intricate and dark situation in front of them.

That is the last mobile force of the four major elector families, the supreme commander of the United Fleet, and the sub-marshal of the Imperial Army "Song Bugui".

Two consecutive disastrous defeats in the battle between the Seven Seas Star Field and the Imperial Capital caused the situation that was originally a sure thing to collapse in an instant. More than half of the country was lost. A little bit of the spirit of "sincerity and unity", everyone agrees that today when the "King Kong Fleet" and "Ace Fleet" have collapsed and even turned against each other, the weak and defeated soldiers of each are scattered in the island-like territory. , will only be defeated and wiped out one by one by the imposing reformers.

The only way out is to gather the few remaining cutting-edge warships together to defend "the majesty of His Majesty Chengwu Emperor and the four major electors".

Thus, the United Fleet was born.

From the name of the fleet bestowed by His Majesty Chengwu, the word "Hui Tian", it can be seen that the "Old Empire" attaches great importance to this last fleet.

But Song Bugui, the supreme commander of the "Huitian Fleet", is not a candidate for the commander-in-chief that everyone expects. Even he himself is very clear that he is just a power struggle, mutual compromise and helplessness, "barely make do" result.

In the ranks of the imperial army with shining generals, Song Bugui, who is 184 years old this year, is not the kind of shining famous general, and has nothing to do with adjectives such as bravery, courage, and resourcefulness. In the military career of more than 150 years, although there have been dozens of bloody battles and vicious battles, no matter how relaxed the conditions are, there is no classic battle example that can be included in the textbook, let alone the kind of "with little effort". Many victories, thousands of miles raid" gorgeous record.

He is a very mediocre general, without any personal style, nor the temperament of a famous general. He is not so much a general on the battlefield as a civil servant who follows the steps. In the first half of his military career, he often served as a staff officer or deputy. When he shows his face, when his qualifications are enough to be able to be alone, he often goes to station in the barren and uninhabited world, or is responsible for tasks such as logistics escort. He has worked in the military command department and the education director of the Imperial Fleet for more than ten years. Inexplicably, he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of a certain front army, just to take the blame that no one would take on.

In dozens of bloody battles and vicious battles, his performance can only be said to be barely passable - he has lost battles, but he will not be defeated in a crash, and he can bring seventy to eighty percent of the remnants to safety Withdrawing, he had won battles before, but because of indecision, he missed a good opportunity, and let go of a good opportunity to expand his victories and get promoted and make a fortune.

Overall, this is a general who is inconspicuous, and no one would think of it normally, but if you really care about it, there are no major shortcomings.

As an immortal cultivator, Song Bugui may not have no ambitions when he was young, but after more than a hundred years of hard work, paying the price of countless blood and tears, and wandering around the gate of ghosts dozens of times, the gradually aging Song Bugui Gui is very clear that he is just a mediocre person who does not have the ability to realize his ambitions.

Before the four major families launched a fierce attack on the Seven Seas Starfield, he failed in the family struggle again, and was kicked back to the cold bench of the education director of the Imperial Fleet and the reserve commander of the Song family. At this time, he was already disheartened , just waiting to sit on this cold bench all the way to death, but he never expected that after just half a year, he would become the last elite commander of the four major families, one of the best "big men" in the imperial army. guy".

Of course, Song Bugui has self-knowledge and knows what is going on—surrender and death, taking away his talented and shining comrades one by one, Yun Xuefeng and Song Yushi are in the Seven Seas Starfield, and Countless real materials and well-connected commanders at all levels in the four ace fleets either died in battle, or fell into the hands of the reformers, and ended in a very dishonorable end.

In this way, the high-level executives of the four major families who fled managed to stabilize their positions. When they looked around, they were very surprised to find that they could not choose a fleet commander with both prestige and commanding skills!

And because the main forces of the four major families are now defeated, and there is an urgent need to deploy a large number of reserves and recruits to enrich the fleet, Song Bugui, who has been the education director of the Imperial Fleet and the commander of the Song family reserve for many years, has become the only one that all parties can hold their noses. Candidates.

Song Bugui became the supreme commander of the Huitian Fleet just like that, and was also given a nondescript military rank of "Second Marshal" - this is a newly established military rank after the new emperor ascended the throne. Originally, the empire only had the distinction between general and marshal For the supreme commander of the combined fleet of the four major families, it is not an exaggeration to confer the rank of marshal, just like Lei Chenghu who is "opposite", but I am afraid that even Song Bugui himself thinks that conferring the rank of marshal to him is too much. It's too absurd, too much, and I'm too sorry for the marshals of the empire in the past hundreds of years, so, the second commander is the second commander!

At least, Song Bugui looked at the rank of sub-commander on his shoulder, and thought that these two words were like his current situation, which could not be more appropriate.

Although he has become the supreme commander of the Huitian Fleet and a theoretical "military boss", Song Bugui has no sense of authoritarianism at all - he knows very well that his supreme commander is just auspicious on the surface However, the Huitian Fleet is not a united fleet at all, and its control is still firmly in the hands of the big bosses of each family. Without the approval of the emperor, he even Even the Song family's own fleet can't command it.

Not to mention the extremely weak control under his hands, there are dozens of "mother-in-laws" pressing on his head. As the saying goes, dogs can't change eating shit. It's better than dogs not eating shit if they want the powerful and nobles of the four major families not to fight for power and profit. Even more unlikely, even in the early days of the great defeat, the four families were able to unite sincerely and form the Huitian Fleet, but after gaining a firm foothold, their selfish nature was unavoidably revealed, especially after the new Emperor Chengwu ascended the throne, Those "officials" who have made meritorious deeds have made no secret of their desire for power and ambitions. They sell their officials and ranks, award rewards, fight openly and secretly, and take advantage of the opportunity to be in power. Things like this are not uncommon, emerge in endlessly, and intensify!

Thinking about it, the imperial court controlled by the four major families has been so dilapidated that even the imperial capital has been lost. If they want to gather people's hearts again, the only way to go is to reward them generously.

And the great defeat of King Kong Fleet and Ace Fleet, countless generals and masters fell one after another, and a lot of positions were just rightly vacated. If we don't send more official hats at this time, when will we wait?

Song Bugui didn't care about these dirty and messy things at first - just the thought of him going against Liaohai Hou Lei Chenghu who is known as the "God of War" is enough to make people tremble and his eyes turn black!

More than 50 years ago, Song Bugui had worked with Lei Chenghu for a period of time. At that time, he knew exactly what a "famous general" was, and the gap between himself and a real famous general.

Song Bugui guessed that he had two paths, either he was defeated by Lei Chenghu on the battlefield like chopping melons and vegetables, and was blown up together with the flagship; A big and heavy black pot, accepting the anger of Emperor Chengwu and the sanctions of military law.

If it wasn't so dangerous, how could the throne of "Commander of the Huitian Fleet" be attached to his ass, and he couldn't shake it off?

Song Bugui originally didn't want to care about the bad things in the court.

But they can’t stand the new king or the four major electors. In order to gather people’s hearts, they sent a lot of officials, which caused the entire court and military bureaucracy to expand. In addition to the military command department, there is the military and political department. Next to the General Staff Headquarters, the High Command Headquarters was set up, and all these messy structures were "coordinated" by a base camp. Above the base camp, a damn military committee was set up. This department, that battalion, dozens of ministers, The chief, deputy chief, and general chairman can all intervene in the combat preparation and command of the Huitian Fleet; each of them has thrown out countless "conspiracies and tricks" that can easily defeat the "God of War" Lei Chenghu; They all stared at Song Bugui with extremely vigilant eyes, and almost poked their fingers on the tip of his nose, reprimanding him for fearing the enemy like a tiger and even secretly informing against the party.

If it wasn't for secretly informing the rebellious party, why did the revolutionary rebel fleet plunder the Song family's territory, show off its power, and even destroy several reinforcement fleets and supply fleets in succession? , Still standing still, afraid to move forward?

General chiefs, deputy chiefs, ministers, etc., Song Bugui can deal with it with a "humming hahaha".

But in the face of the questioning of Song Lixing, the "Chairman of the Supreme Military Council of the Real Human Empire", Song Bugui couldn't be perfunctory.

Not only because Song Lixing is his immediate boss in the military system, but also because Song Lixing has made great contributions in supporting the new king to ascend the throne, "the holy family is prosperous", and because Song Lixing is one of the four major electors. One, the eldest son of the Patriarch of the Song family, the next emperor and the most promising successor of the Patriarch of the Song family, naturally, Song Bugui is overwhelmed by every aspect!
