Li Shaojun retracted his arm in embarrassment and cursed in his heart. He clearly told the sentry Yi Lexiang to greet him in advance when he came back. This time, Yi Lexiang was caught. However, he, who is usually thoughtful, forgot that the sentry position was rotated every three hours. He did not explain the reason, and the sentry did not particularly care. As a result, he forgot to tell the person who took over the post.
"What's going on? Li Shaojun, you are very courageous. Do you really dare to hold a meeting without permission when the general is not here?" Chen Yatian stared at him. He had been staying too long with the gang of guards. You could tell by the expressions on other people's faces, but Yi Lexiang's joke hit the mark. "Tell me, what's going on? Otherwise I'll call the guards!"
"No, no," Li Shaojun waved his hands repeatedly. Chen Yatian could only describe Yi Lexiang as loyal. If he was too slow to explain, he might actually call the guards in. He exaggeratedly wiped his forehead. If Xin Qiang were here, he would have pushed himself down without saying anything. There was a burst of snickering in the conference room.
Yi Lexiang also found that something was wrong, but he didn't think that Li Shaojun dared to go against him. However, Li Shaojun must be hiding something from himself. "Li Shaojun, what are you doing? Tell me, what are you hiding from me?"
Li Shaojun left his seat with a smile on his face, but he looked a bit vulgar and not at all like the cold-faced evil star just now.
"General, the detection report sent back by the unmanned detection ship."
Yi Lexiang looked suspiciously at Li Shaojun, who was snickering. Li Shaojun usually had a gloomy face, but today was indeed a bit abnormal. Taking the report from Li Shaojun's hand, he understood everything immediately after looking at the report.
"Why do you have any ideas?"
Li Shaojun shook his head subconsciously, then woke up and nodded again.
Yi Lexiang looked at the commanders in the conference room and asked, "Are you the same?" The conference room was full of officers of the Guards, and it was obvious that these people were gathered together.
Everyone looked at each other, and there was no sound for a while. Li Shaojun stood behind Yi Lexiang and kept making gestures, but no one dared to answer Yi Lexiang's words. They followed Yi Lexiang in the north and south, and they also knew a little about Yi Lexiang's temper. Although this general is usually very easy-going, he is very strict in running the army, and he can't muster the courage to express his thoughts.
Chen Yatian took the report from Yi Lexiang's hand, glanced at it twice, and immediately shouted: "What the hell are you thinking about? Isn't this pie in the sky? Take it down, take it down, never go up. Hand in." He patted Li Shaojun on the shoulder vigorously, "You should eat alone, I support you."
The officer who was teasing Li Shaojun gritted his teeth and said, "General, we want to build a secret base here. It's time for our new army to have its own territory."
Yi Lexiang looked at the officer, and then at the officers in the conference room who had evasive but expectant looks.
"Well, let's do what you want!" Yi Lexiang replied indifferently.
"Generalhuh?" The officer who was racking his brains and preparing to argue looked at Yi Lexiang dumbfounded. He didn't believe his ears. This was not like his general's usual style of talking all the time. It was stuffed back into my stomach.
"Is there anything else? If nothing happens, go call the people from the Sixth Army and let's hold a combat meeting."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all stunned.
"Well? Is there anything else?"
An officer sitting at the door jumped up suddenly, "No, no, I'm going to call the Sixth Corps."
Yi Lexiang strolled towards his seat, seemingly not paying attention to what just happened. After so many years of military career, he had already understood many truths. He has gone from an ordinary private to today, with over 10 million soldiers, and so many people have followed him to conquer the north and south without any regrets. Sometimes some selfishness is unavoidable, and there is no need to be so dogmatic. He believed that the officers who had been following him were no less loyal to Charno than he was. The fact that so many soldiers fought bloody battles and defended Charno with their lives was enough to prove this. In this case, it actually doesn't make much difference in whose hands these resources are. On the contrary, if it is handed over to the high command, no one knows how many "worms" will peek at these astronomical resource planets.
Li Shaojun¡¯s report to him recorded in detail the detection results of the ¡°Black Star¡±. The Black Star was made entirely of rare and pure special metals. By analogy, even if one tenth of the black stars here have a similar composition, it will be an uncountable wealth. It is no wonder that his generals are jealous. What war is about is nothing more than two things, one is soldiers and the other is resources; even the essence of war is the plunder of resources. With such a batch of resources in his hands, no matter where he comes from,All aspects are beneficial.
As soon as Guan Xiaotian walked into the conference room with a group of officers in his hands, he felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit strange. On weekdays, the busy and upright Guards officers all stand straight, their eyes lowered, staring at the table in front of them, like good babies, as weird as they want. Looking at Yi Lexiang sitting in the main seat, his face was calm, and he didn't seem to have just lost his temper. He couldn't help scratching his head, and he couldn't help but feel a little more careful. Chen Yatian, who was sitting on the left side of Yi Lexiang, laughed secretly when he saw that the people in the Sixth Corps were also looking very cautious. It's a pity that they didn't know what happened, and they suffered a share of the blame.
"This is probably the case." Yi Lexiang explained the situation of the space gate in detail, without mentioning the discovery of the "Black Star" by the exploration ship.
Guan Xiaotian clearly felt that the Guards officer sitting next to him breathed a sigh of relief, and he glanced at him in confusion. The officer felt Guan Xiaotian's gaze, and he smiled back at Guan Xiaotian. Guan Xiaotian also smiled, but the doubts in his heart were even greater. What happened to the SS officers who are not afraid of the sky or the ground today? He always felt that they looked at him and others strangely.
"The exit points of the space gate are distributed within a range of 100 light-years. At present, we do not have accurate data. But it is basically certain that the exit point of the Herbie Nebula is closest to Charno." Yi Lexiang said from his wrist Remove the wrist-mounted biological brain and plug it into the external port on the table, and the three-dimensional image immediately turns into an interstellar panorama. The space gate's jump-out star field is marked on the interstellar panorama with a silver border.
"Returning the way we came is of course the most convenient route, but the Empire is probably still searching for our traces near the Herbie Nebula, and that Nebula monster To be honest, I don't really want to see it." There was a burst of laughter in the conference room. , if they knew that the combined fleet's action of escaping into the space gate angered the Nebula monster and caused the annihilation of the two Imperial A-class fleets, they would probably laugh even happier.
"There are several space jump points whose star fields are no longer in the starry sky map database, so we don't consider them. The remaining options" Yi Lexiang did not continue.
Everyone already understood what Yi Lexiang meant. In fact, there were not many choices left. Most of the other jump points are concentrated within the Empire Alliance, and most of them are in remote star systems, which means that the only way to return to Charno is to fight all the way back.
"I suggest you take the jump point within the Empire Alliance." Li Shaojun stood up and walked to the three-dimensional map. "Lieutenant General Yi has just mentioned the danger of returning the same way. I would like to add a few words: Our Intelligence Department carefully After studying the Herbie Nebula and the abnormal military deployments in the Empire's occupied areas in recent times, we believe that the purpose of the Empire is not to encircle and suppress the Combined Fleet. Such a huge strategic deployment and troop mobilization is simply not worth it for a small Combined Fleet. Their target should be Lieutenant General Yi Lexiang himself. Since the Battle of Orit, the Imperial Alliance has suffered heavy losses at the hands of Lieutenant General Yi many times. No matter how slow their intelligence department is, they should now understand that Lieutenant General Yi will lead the entire Char Piaotian Literature?" A combat staff officer of the Sixth Army asked doubtfully.
"That's right!" Li Shaojun nodded, "Whether it's in the occupied area or within the Empire Alliance, as long as the Empire discovers us, they will definitely try their best to encircle and suppress us. But encirclement and suppression are different.
The imperial troops in the occupied area are all front-line combat troops, and they should be the strongest in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will; but it is different within the imperial alliance. In addition to the planetary garrison, it is a new army that is ready to go into battle. As long as we avoid Important strategic goals, in fact, the direct pressure is not great. The most important thing is that the military deployment of the Imperial Alliance is not aimed at us, but the occupied area is different. It is simply a huge open net waiting for us. Moreover, by launching an attack from the direction of the Imperial Alliance, we are equivalent to striking out from behind the Imperials and attacking them unprepared; if we switch to the occupied area, to be honest, no matter which direction we break out from, we are actually facing a head-on confrontation with the Imperials, and there is no retreat at all. Combat. "
"How long will it take if we retreat from the direction of the Imperial Alliance to Charno?"
"One and a half to two months, if everything goes well."
"It's been a long time! If General Yi doesn't show up"
"Are you worried about the situation in Charno?"
"kindness!"
"This is also what I'm worried about. It's hard to say whether the family forces in Capital Star will take advantage of this to cause trouble."
Yi Lexiang waved his hand, "Don't worry, Anokhi's two main forces will arrive at Charno soon. With them there, there is nothing to worry about. Besides, President Ye Haoran is still in charge of the overall situation."
Yi Lexiang thought for a while and drew a dotted line on the starry sky map with the electronic pen in his hand.
