    Chapter 160 A bet you can¡¯t afford to lose

    The fact is as Yi Lexiang speculated, the squadron sent to the jump point quickly sent back a message: the Imperial fleet was discovered.  The Imperials did not get too entangled with the squadron and dispersed away from the jump point.  Song Guorui blocked the squadron commander's attempt to pursue.  This squadron composed of ordinary starships is obviously no match for the Imperial fleet composed entirely of special starships. To catch up will only increase casualties.  What's more, ordinary starships can never catch up with enhanced special starships that perform special missions.

    Waves of attacks from the Empire hit the Kador defense line, and six more numbers of the Empire¡¯s main fleet appeared on the front line. This time the Empire invested all their strength.  The war situation began to reverse. Except for the area under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Fleet, almost other defense areas were frequently reporting to the headquarters.

    "Didn't the Academy of Sciences support a batch of new weapons? Can they be put into the frontal battlefield to temporarily resist the imperial offensive?" Song Guorui turned sideways and asked Yi Lexiang, who was still thinking.  Since the existence of Anokhi and the task force is still top secret, the Ninth Fleet has always claimed that the support fleet from Anoki came from the Academy of Sciences.

    Yi Lexiang had a wry smile on his face. He used all the inductive mines on Tesno. At this moment, the huge black battleships were completely empty.

    "How do you think Tesno's victory came about?" Bo Jiangang shook his head with a wry smile. Song Guorui was in a hurry and sought medical treatment.

    Song Guorui slapped his head in frustration. The Guards fleet that rescued Yi Lexiang only had more than 300 starships. How could it be possible to win Tesno without the support of new weapons?  This is trouble.

    "Communication request from the headquarters." The voice of a confidential staff officer interrupted the conversation of several generals.

    "Come in." Yi Lexiang rubbed his swollen head, hoping that the old marshal could give him some advice.  At this critical moment, except for Marshal Bai Weiqi, who has a neutrino communicator, it is impossible for anyone else to get the news from the front line so quickly.

    Although he had already received the news of Yi Lexiang's safe return, when Bai Weiqi saw Yi Lexiang's young figure appearing in the holographic image, Marshal Bai still couldn't help but smile with relief and surprise on his face.  "It'll be good to come back safely, it'll be good to come back safely."

    After not seeing each other for a few days, the old marshal seemed to have a lot of wrinkles on his face, and his spirit did not look as strong as before.  The situation in Capital Star has put too much pressure on this old man who has spent his entire life in the military.  Looking at the old marshal's increasingly haggard face, Yi Lexiang felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

    "I already know the situation in Kador." The old marshal seemed to be aware of the generals' concerns about his physical condition, and went directly to the topic without giving them a chance to show it.  "It will take time to restore logistical supplies to the base camp. We are deploying troops from local areas to encircle and annihilate the imperial special fleet. You have only one mission: persist until the base camp and annihilate the imperial special ships that circle back behind you."

    "How long will it take?" Yi Lexiang put away the confusion in his heart and asked seriously.

    "One week!" Bai Weiqi nodded happily to Yi Lexiang. He just admired Yi Lexiang's character of being able to take things and put them down.  The most important thing at the moment was to resist the invasion of the Imperial army rather than worrying about his health.

    The generals at the Kador headquarters were each calculating the strength of the enemy and our forces, and the headquarters fell into silence again.  The old marshal on the other end did not urge but patiently waited for the frontline commanders to measure their strength.  Wisdom and keen eyes kept scanning the faces of everyone, and they seemed to be weighing whether the newly established command center could assume the important task of commanding the Kador defense line.

    Bon Ningyan¡¯s unauthorized transfer of command to the Ninth Fleet caused an uproar among Charno¡¯s senior leadership.  The impact of this incident on the Republic of Charno was no less than that of Yi Lexiang's ambush.  As soon as Bo Ningyan returned to the capital star, she was controlled by the heavily armed military police and armed police. She didn't even have the chance to question General Yang Haojun, who almost made her make a big mistake.  If her two brothers hadn't held important positions in the army, and Bo Jiangang had replaced Yi Lexiang in controlling the huge battle group in the early stage, plus the old marshal's vigorous protection, she would have been sent to a military court.

    At this time, with the safe return of Yi Lexiang, the situation that should have been slightly stable not only did not calm down, but became even more turbulent.  Representatives of many forces have proposed revoking Yi Lexiang's command and returning the command of Kador to the government. The candidate with the highest voice for taking over the command is precisely Yang Haojun, who has been questioned by the public because of Yi Lexiang's attack.  .  Thinking of this, the old marshal couldn't help showing a look of disappointment. He had fought for democracy, for the country, for the nation, and for the millions of people in Charno all his life. It can be said that he had no regrets in his life.  But what is the final result?  for one's own benefitThe colluded interest groups ignored public opinion and still insisted on letting the executioner who designed the murder of the general of the Republic replace the role of the commander-in-chief of Cador, who represented half of Charno's military power.  Why they did this was nothing more than selfish desires in their hearts, nothing more than relying on Yang Haojun to control the military and political power of the secret forces, and nothing more than bullying Yi Lexiang, who was just a young boy with no deep roots in the military or political circles.  Democracy and power, power always seems to have the upper hand no matter what.  So much so that at this moment, the old marshal was a little confused and at a loss. Could it be that the goal he had been fighting for all his life could not be achieved?

    "Kador can't hold on for that long." Yi Lexiang's calm words broke the quiet communication. Several generals raised their heads in surprise at the same time and looked at Yi Lexiang who made a decisive judgment.  This young general actually made a more pessimistic conclusion than the old men, which was really beyond their expectations.

    Bai Weiqi on the other end didn¡¯t seem surprised that Yi Lexiang was so pessimistic, ¡°Tell me your reasons.¡±

    "It's actually very simple. First, the Empire's main fleet appears on the frontal battlefield at the moment as many as twenty-two, which is more than three times ours. This does not include the Empire's other auxiliary fleets; and our main fleet  After several months of fierce fighting, most of them suffered serious attrition and great losses in combat power. In fact, the entire Kador defense line was supported by the land-based defense force of the Space Fortress. Second, the Empire's reserves of conventional combat readiness supplies  The amount is one week, and we only have three days. In other words, the high-intensity attack of the Imperials can last for at least five days, but it only takes three days for us to fall into a predicament with no ammunition, no supplies, and no energy replenishment.  Third, although Tesno's logistics base has been destroyed by me, Tesno's land-based airport facilities have remained intact, and the Imperials can continuously replenish them from the rear. This greatly extends the sustainability of the Empire's offensive;  On the contrary, the imperial special fleet has completely blocked my logistics supply channel, and I can hardly get any supplies." Yi Lexiang paused for a moment.  Several senior generals in the headquarters looked thoughtful and marked something on the electronic folder from time to time. They were obviously confirming their own inferences based on Yi Lexiang's narrative.

    "What else?" Bai Weiqi asked seeing that Yi Lexiang didn't seem to have finished speaking.

    "Andif the Kador defense line completely collapses, the imperial special ships will become a serious problem for me. I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to escape if we are entangled by then." As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.  .  At this time, everyone suddenly realized that the tactical significance of special ships, special ships, and special ships is starships that perform special missions.  Entering the enemy group, blooming in the center, and surviving after death, this is the purpose of the existence of special ships.  The special ships are not only well-equipped starships, but their starship soldiers are also elite troops who are not afraid of death.  Coupled with the equipment being equipped with a large amount of equipment for special combat purposes, it is entirely possible for the special ship fleet drawn from the sixteen main fleets to block the retreat route of the entire Charno Interstellar Corps.  After all, Charnor's Kador defense line is different from the Imperials. Its main combat force is the land-based troops stationed in the space fortress, and the interstellar force is only seven main fleets in size.  Once the war situation completely collapsed, those land-based soldiers had virtually no hope of escaping.

    "Before we win, we must say defeat. Very good!" The old marshal on the other end smiled. This was exactly what he was worried about.  The most worrying thing for Kador has always been not the collapse of the front, but that once the entire defense line collapses, it means that half of Charno's troops will never be able to return to Charno's land, even if the Imperials  Time could not conquer many fortresses, but these soldiers truly disappeared into the organization of Charno's army.  Such a blow is Charno's real unbearable pain.

    Silence, suffocating silence enveloped the headquarters.  Everyone was thinking about Yi Lexiang's words. If they persisted, of course everything would be put aside and the battle situation would return to the starting point.  But if it fails, it will be an abyss of eternal destruction, and there will be no turning back in one step.  Such an unbearable result undoubtedly puts everyone in a state of uncertainty.

    "Jia Lie, Jia Lie, he is worthy of being the leading general in the interstellar world." The old marshal sighed, "This is like a gamble. He bet on the special fleet. If he wins, everything will be lost. If he loses, everything will be lost.  All special warships. Unfortunately, he can afford to bet, but we can't afford to lose. Everyone also talks about their opinions. Lieutenant General Yi Lexiang put forward just a hypothesis. Let's see what you have to add."

    "" Several generals looked at each other, and they all saw a look of deep concern on each other's faces.  This is not just a hypothesis. If the war situation is really as Yi Lexiang speculated, it is almost certain that what awaits Charno will be the fate of the country and his family.

    And in the distant capital star, many staff members such as the headquarters and the general staff are conferring in the conference room adjacent to the old marshal.The crisis situation facing Kador was discussed nervously.  However, compared to Yi Lexiang's pessimism, they obviously have not realized that the Kador defense line has reached a critical moment.  Some people even asked whether Yang Haojun should first mobilize a special interstellar formation from the secret forces to break through the imperial blockade and take over the command of the Ninth Fleet.  Bai Qiwei looked at the instant meeting minutes in front of him in the office and burst into laughter.  How long has this been? There are still people cheering for Yang Haojun. I am afraid that even if you pass such a decision, Yang Haojun will never agree.
