Capital Star, Battle Report Communications Department, this newly established department has recently become the favorite place for major media to visit. Some powerful media even rented rooms for their reporters in the nearest apartment, just to be the first to get first-hand battle reports. This agency established by Lieutenant General Yi Lexiang is different from the previous External Relations Department. They will always release some latest battle reports to the outside world from time to time. What reporters love and hate is that this department will not report the latest battle reports to the outside world as before. The information is sent to the media's mailboxes and is announced in the form of a press conference.
Today, the outside of the War Report Communications Office was once again crowded with reporters holding cameras and recorders. Just now, a new announcement was posted on the Electronic Bulletin Board of the Communications Office. A temporary battle report press conference will be held in twenty minutes. According to an unknown staff member, the content of this battle report is extremely explosive. In order to grab a special pass to enter the press conference venue, many hot-tempered reporters fought. In this era of highly developed communications, an important piece of news, even if it is published one minute earlier than others, will bring immeasurable influence to the media that broadcasts the news.
If things were in the past, it would not be a very difficult thing for journalists with great resources to use the news funds in their hands to get a special pass from within. However, since Lieutenant General Yi Lexiang promulgated strict wartime temporary military control regulations, this is no longer feasible. Facing the cruel and severe military police, no one is willing to take this risk. The "Twenty-Six Families" have shed enough blood to alert most military and political officials.
After experiencing a short "pass war", the reporters who got the special passes rushed into the press hall with their resentful colleagues, as if there were delicious food and beautiful women waiting for them there.
A lieutenant colonel with a square face, an upright and unforgettable officer, presided over the press conference. Before he formally read out the speech in his hand, the reporter sitting in the front row had already noticed something different from usual with his sharp professional nerves. The lieutenant colonel actually had an unconcealable smile on his face. This is so abnormal. Since the establishment of this department, reporters have never seen a slight smile on the spokesperson's face. The groups in the battle report represent huge casualties, like a heavy mountain weighing on everyone's hearts. Good news today! The reporters exchanged excited looks with each other, especially the local reporter from Charno, who could no longer restrain the anticipation in his heart and stared directly at the speech in the hands of the lieutenant colonel.
"The latest battle report" The lieutenant colonel read out the battle report briefing in his hand in a rich and slow tone. According to convention, the battle report will not mention the specific time, location and participating troops, and sometimes even the star field where it occurred will not be mentioned. and. Reporters had long been accustomed to this, but what the lieutenant colonel said immediately set the venue ablaze. "The Sixth Corps of the Danube Star Territory left Crete safely at about three o'clock yesterday afternoon under the rescue of our support fleet. The rescue campaign on Crete came to a successful end. In this battle, 400,000 people of the Imperial Marine Infantry Corps were annihilated; support A fleet with more than 700 ships and about 300,000 starship combat personnel, annihilated a total of 700,000 enemy troops. Our casualties were 200,000, including 170,000 casualties in the Sixth Corps, and more than 30,000 in the rescue fleet. ¡¡±
"The Sixth Corps", the reporters here are very familiar with this designation. It was precisely because of the encirclement of this Corps that a series of changes occurred in the future, and directly caused the "Twenty-Six Families" in the Capital Star to be purged. The fact that the number of this regiment appeared in the battle report was eye-catching news in itself, not to mention that after experiencing a series of defeats, Charno finally ushered in an exciting and brilliant victory on the interstellar battlefield. Excited people whispered and kept conveying uncontrollable excitement with their eyes. They couldn't wait to release this news that would boost the national spirit immediately.
"Can you please reveal which general commanded this battle?" a reporter from the Democratic Alliance asked.
The lieutenant colonel smiled and shook his head, "You should know the rules of the Battle Report Communications Department. I have no right to disclose any issues involving military secrets to you. Okay, this is the end of this battle report. I think you can't wait to see it. I¡¯m leaving the venue.¡± The crowd burst into hearty laughter, which was the only good news in recent times.
The lieutenant colonel looked at the reporters who got up and left, thought for a moment, and suddenly picked up the microphone again, "I believe that there will be more and more similar good news in the future. I firmly believe in this, Charno's Tomorrow will be even better." His voice immediately silenced the entire venue. The astonished reporters turned back to look at the confident lieutenant colonel on the stage. A military spokesman would use such a completely contrary public statement. The speech order, the highly personal and emotional statement, is really surprising. No??, his words immediately attracted thunderous applause from the audience. Some quick-thinking reporters looked thoughtfully at the lieutenant colonel on the stage, with an unabashed and determined expression on his face. Perhaps the only one who could bring a glimmer of hope to this war-torn country was the lieutenant colonel. General, could it be that
Guan Xiaotian and his Sixth Corps hurriedly boarded the landing craft parked on the bumpy road damaged by artillery fire. The Sixth Corps was temporarily safe. But it also came at a huge price.
Guan Xiaotian silently looked at the soldiers passing by. He could not find any trace of exhaustion and decadence after the war or disgust for the war that brought death on their faces. On the contrary, the young faces had a hint of aura. Silk is determined because the enemy's casualties are greater than theirs, because even on this remote planet, distant Charno has not forgotten them.
War experts say: When a war reaches a certain stage, the key to victory or defeat will be transformed from the country's military strength, equipment, etc. in terms of hardware standards to whether the country has a tough nerve. Whether the people of this country or nation have the determination to continue the war will often determine the final outcome of the war, and Charno lacks this the most! Thousands of years of civilization have given this country extremely powerful cohesion! This is something no human country has.
It was 8 Earth hours after the Sixth Corps evacuated Crete that the Imperial Theater Command in the Danube Star Region confirmed that a major change had occurred in the war situation. It was 12 Earth hours later that the Charno Theater Command dispatched the First Support Army. But it was all over long ago. The Charno fleet that caused heavy casualties to the Imperials had long since disappeared into the vast starry sky.
Lord Halifax of the Strong Empire may be the person who knows the best about what is happening in this star field besides the Charno people. However, out of selfish motives to protect himself, he did not tell the imperial command everything he knew. everything.
The Imperial High Command was furious about this. This was the highest number of casualties among the Imperial fleet since the Kador defense line was breached. The Tactical Behavior Analysis Room under the Imperial High Command immediately analyzed the battle.
The Tactical Behavior Analysis Room is a non-military department composed of a large number of personality analysts and psychological profilers. The analysis conducted by this unit basically has nothing to do with military tactics and is more like a purely scientific research unit. However, their guidance played a decisive role in the Imperial High Command's formulation of tactical strategies. Specifically, the main job of this analysis room is to collect the tactical styles and command characteristics of commanders at all levels on both sides, and to draw guiding opinions through complex psychological deductions, a bit like what human behavior researchers do. work, but their research targets are more specific. Generally speaking, any military commander has his own unique command style; he is likely to make the same tactical arrangements when facing a specific battlefield situation or specific emotions. The purpose of the analysis room is to find out these.
Soon, the analysis report from the Tactical Behavior Analysis Room was placed in front of Imperial Marshal Tire. Looking at the analysis report in front of him, Tire couldn't help but frown. Why is it this young man again? To say who Tire had the deepest impression on among the many generals in Charno, it was undoubtedly Yi Lexiang. Several battles commanded by this young general who rose like a comet caused heavy losses to the Alliance. Although for a marshal who focuses on the entire human territory, the Charno War Zone is only a part of this war, it is undeniable that this ancient country brought him surprises far beyond his original estimation.
Since the outbreak of the war, this country has lost one-half of its land area, one-third of its population, and almost exhausted all domestic resource reserves; on the frontal battlefield, Charno has achieved almost nothing impressive. The eye-catching military victory, even the victory of the young General Charno, can only be regarded as slightly eye-catching in Tyr's eyes. For the overall trend of the war, such a victory can only be regarded as better than nothing.
On the other hand, what happened in this country was very puzzling to Tyr. Under such embarrassing circumstances, some people in this country did not forget to fight for power, which eventually led to the death of the "God of War" whom the God of Tyr had been friends with for a long time. The most surprising thing is that the power grabbers (this is what Tier called Yang Haojun and others), for some unknown purpose, accidentally dragged the "Holy Alliance" into this war, completely disrupting it. The combat deployment of the Supreme Command. Shortly after the Supreme Command adjusted its overall strategy and launched the offensive again, soldiers led by Yi Lexiang suddenly appeared and regained actual control of Charno. The "Holy Alliance" temporarily withdrew, and the "Democratic Alliance" Just as they were about to try, the interstellar situation had undergone major changes, and the Supreme Command had to start revising the overall strategy again. This series of dizzying changes stirred the nerves of those in power throughout the human kingdom. However, so many changes seem to haveSince Charno, the center of the storm, did not bring any irreparable scars, one has to lament the country's strong internal digestion capacity.
Tire slowly put down the report in his hand. While many military strategists and historians within the alliance were surprised and puzzled by the strong resilience shown by this country, the military held a completely opposite attitude towards this. , in their eyes, this country is already terminally ill, and some radical generals have even begun to study the next military plan for confrontation with the "Democratic Alliance". This made Tire very worried. The soldier's intuition developed during his decades of military career told him that this war with Charno was far from over. This country, this nation, is like a spring being squeezed inward from both ends, and may surprise the entire world at any time.
And what he, Tyr, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the Imperial Alliance Supreme Command, has to do is to destroy this "spring" before it rebounds. His eyes slowly moved to the report at hand. Perhaps, this was a good opportunity, an opportunity to completely destroy Charno's will to resist.
"For notification, I will convene a meeting of the Joint Chiefs of Staff immediately." Till pressed the communication button on the table. Tier looked at the report in his hand. There was a photo of Yi Lexiang printed on the cover of the first page. He had a young, slightly immature face. Tire couldn't help but put on a self-deprecating smile on his face. At the Alliance's Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting, he went to discuss the encirclement and suppression of a young general in Charno, and whether he was making too much of a fuss.
Yi Lexiang felt that something seemed a little wrong. A few hours ago, his fleet jumped to the River Starfield, and there was a jump point near the Sagittarius star system. After passing here, the fleet can jump directly to Charno's actual control area. However, an accident happened. The fleet's power technical officer had just found him with a nervous look on his face, and the space alarm of the jump thruster sounded an early warning alarm. This indicates that there is a certain energy position in this star field, but a few days ago, the fleet just passed here and rushed to Crete, and everything was normal at that time.
"Could it be abnormal spatial fluctuations caused by changes in celestial bodies?" Yi Lexiang raised a possibility.
The power technical officer shook his head, "Definitely not!" His answer was firm and powerful.
"Thenwhat do you mean"
"The Empire! They set up an energy position transmitter!"
"I understand. You go back first and continue to monitor the fluctuations of nearby capabilities. Yatian, make arrangements immediately. I want to hold a tactical combat meeting immediately!"
A few minutes later, Yi Lexiang walked into the combat conference room. The commanders who had received the news were whispering in low voices. Except for the officer of the Sixth Army who had just joined with a slightly uneasy expression on his face, everyone else seemed quite relaxed. .
"You should have received the news that the Empire has built an energy field in the River Star Territory, and our way home is blocked. There is currently not enough evidence to show that this action of the Empire is against us, but we We must prepare for the worst. What if the Imperials are really coming for us?¡±
