Chapter 394 Miller's Concerns

"You mean a strategic decisive battle?" Brandon quickly realized what Trafalgar wanted to express.

"Yes, a strategic decisive battle that will at least give us the upper hand in the future."

Marshal Trafalgar nodded, his face very serious.

President Brandon fell silent, and his expression did not surprise Miller and Trafalgar, becoming increasingly ugly.

After a moment, he spoke with a gloomy expression:

"Another strategic decisive battle? From the beginning of this war to now, how many so-called 'strategic decisive battle' plans have you given me?"

Brandon's eyes swept across the faces of Miller and Trafalgar. He was becoming more and more unhappy with these two people who currently had the highest say in military affairs.

"We keep gambling on national destiny and pinning our victory on one or two key battles. Is the gap in military strength between us and the Star Dragon Empire so big?!"

"If we could barely keep pace with the times before, now that the unmanned fleet cannot go to battle, at least we are at a disadvantage in terms of the navy."

Trafalgar said calmly. This old marshal, who usually has a hot temper, rarely did not argue with Brandon when facing his questioning.

"So you continue to gamble on national destiny?" Brandon's tone at this time was already a little sarcastic. Although he was not a professional military talent, he still knew that the practice of "gambling on national destiny" was definitely not a good strategy in war.

"Mr. President, if there was a better way, we would not want to do this. But in fact, this war has begun to get more and more out of control. Neither we nor the empire can accurately judge the direction of the war."

Miller sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and his thoughts also represented the views of most military personnel on this war after experiencing the war from the beginning to now.

From the initial high ambitions, to the confusion in the middle, to the gradual loss of patience now

When the general mobilization order was just issued, everyone thought that the war would be fought in one breath to Saint-Saunière, the capital of the Star Dragon Empire, with the unprecedented force assembled by the Federation.

But when they learned that the Empire had issued a general mobilization order almost at the same time as Brandon signed it, some officers felt that the situation might not be good.

When the army entered the territory of the Star Dragon Empire and fought against the Imperial Fleet, which was well prepared and had the advantage of local operations, the "quick victory theory" was directly shattered in the bombardment of both sides.

It was at this time that both sides finally realized that the situation of this war was unprecedented and there was no history to refer to.

Although the war broke out between the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire 80 years ago, the weapons and technology at that time were completely different from those now, and the national strength of both sides was also at the level of 80 years ago.

It's like two candidates who neglected to review were suddenly pulled to take an exam one day. As a result, after finishing the multiple-choice questions, they found that the fill-in-the-blank, application and big questions at the back were all things they had never learned.

Although the two candidates could understand every word in the question, they couldn't understand it when these words formed the question.

Brandon listened quietly to Miller's words. He also got rid of the initial dissatisfaction with the two people. Now he was thinking about Miller's words.

After a while, he said:

"My intuition tells me that you must have some concerns, so you are in a hurry to fight a strategic decisive battle."

"You are still very sharp, Mr. President."

Miller secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that Brandon couldn't listen to it. Now it seems that this president who has a close relationship with the military-industrial complex is not completely the kind of person who is indifferent.

"Our concerns mainly come from two aspects."

Miller took out the report that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Brandon.

"First, some remote galaxies have shown signs of stirring, especially those controlled by the opposition.

After the arming restrictions on the autonomous governments of various galaxies were lifted, many galaxies entered the process of super-standard armaments.

Although they said on the surface that they wanted to strengthen the galaxy's defense and guard against the attack of the empire, in fact, after the main force entered the empire's territory, these galaxies were unwilling to send a large number of troops, which was obviously a move to preserve their strength.

Once the federal government can no longer suppress these galaxies with ulterior motives, what will happen next, maybe I don't need to say more."

"TMD, I didn't agree to open this restriction at the beginning! Now it's all right, what is self-inflicted!"

Marshal Trafalgar suddenly interrupted, and his tone returned to his previous very fiery style.

"You are talking as if I am arbitrary and pushed this bill through." Brandon said unhappily, and he felt a little helpless at the same time.

"Marshal Trafalgar, I know that this war can be transformed from the worst situation at the beginning to the current situation where we have already invaded the empire, all thanks to your planning on the front line.

But you obviously know very little about the situation in the rear. You don't know how many different forces and organizations are behind the advancement of this bill, and how many interests are involved."

Brandon shook his head, obviously not wanting to continue to dwell on this issue, and then looked in Miller's direction.

"So what is the second concern?"

"Atlas."

When Miller said this name, the three people fell silent at the same time. After all, this name brought them a big "surprise" some time ago, and even directly caused the Federation to become extremely passive on the front line.

"You are more or less aware of the growth rate of this group. It can be said to be very terrifying. Moreover, the intricate relationship between them and those long-eared guys in the Thousand Star Empire also makes it very difficult for us to deal with it."

Miller paused, and then saw Brandon and Trafalgar nodded in agreement almost at the same time.

After a moment, Brandon continued what Miller said:

"So do you think it's a bit too much to let this group develop and worry that this private enterprise will pose a threat to the Federation? No matter how fast they grow, they are just a company after all."

"If this company has a complete equipment manufacturing system, its own fleet, and even has battleships and large warships that exceed the battleship level-please note that this does not refer to the guys in the military-industrial complex who only dare to sneak one or two battleships, but the fleet that dares to show it openly and fight the Federation

At the same time, they can also get the endorsement of the Elf King Court of the Thousand Star Empire, and have a relatively stable source of troops. The most important thing is that they have mastered a new communication technology that can be said to be a dimensional strike against other communication methods, and they have truly achieved a monopoly."

With every sentence Miller said, Brandon's expression became deeper. When Miller finished speaking, the president had already laid down on the chair with a worried look.

"Tell me, I believe you should have a plan, and it should not be just a plan of "betting on national destiny", right?"
