The atmosphere in the command hall of the West York Flagship was solemn and depressing.
The busy Xijiao staff stopped and stared at the majestic figure on the command platform with bated breath.
Thinking back on the more than forty hours of fighting, it is difficult for everyone to use words to describe the frustration and shock in their hearts.
When the fighter plane clusters were roaming around the capital star, trying to lure out the Fei Alliance fleet in a arrogant manner, no one would have thought that this battle would turn into what it is now.
Until now, everyone still thinks it is a dream. From time to time, he stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh. He grinned in pain and couldn't believe that the West York fleet, which had the advantage in strength, actually, with the famous general Carnegie leading it, and Banning, Keens and Cadell each sitting on the same side, not only did they not The other party got a little benefit from his hands, but he was pressed into the defense chain and beaten to death!
Various rumors have long been circulated in the fleet.
Putting aside some nonsense, there is one rumor that is most recognized by everyone.
Everyone has heard that the reason why the Fei League was defeated in the Double Star Corridor was not because Hastings was not the opponent of General Sobol, but because the cunning Hastings wanted to lure the enemy deeper.
Don¡¯t look at the fact that the Fei Alliance fleet lost a lot of warships when they retreated from Double Star Point. They fled in embarrassment and even lost the natural danger of the Lelei Central System Jump Point. But in fact, everything is under the control of the old man!
Now, there is no doubt that it was Hastings who took action!
Through hundreds of large and small battles in the defense chain over the past forty hours, even a fool can see that in terms of calculations and tactical changes, Carnegie and the others are no match for the opposing commander.
No matter what tactics Carnegie and the others used, the opposing commander was always one step ahead of them.
At first, everyone thought it was because the staff department was too slow in providing analysis and planning suggestions. But later everyone discovered that it was not the case at all!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In many battles that were fought to the death by others, one's own side started the fight first, and the other side just responded. But once they fight, they can't keep up with the rhythm. After calculating and recalculating the battle plan, after a few tactical changes, it became a piece of waste paper. The fleet was led by the opponent's nose, slapped and beaten around.
It¡¯s like two people playing chess. Before you even think about the next move, the other party has already thought of ten moves away.
It would be okay if it was really about playing chess. After all, no matter how powerful the opponent is, he can only lose one piece at a time. Even if he counts a hundred steps away, he still has to follow the rules.
But, this is war. There are no game rules for one person to move forward. By the time the few people here racked their brains to come up with an idea, matured and calculated it, they had already launched a whole set of punch-to-flesh combinations.
When we reached the back, it was obvious that Banning and other famous generals had no confidence at all. The conductor hesitated and hesitated. Not to mention not daring to boldly engage in a battle with equal conditions, even if one's own side has the advantage, they are cautious and do not seek merit but seek no fault. He doesn't have the style of a famous general at all.
"Banning, maybe you can say that you were frightened by the bandits in the Metis system. Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years." excusable. But even Carnegie, Cadel and Keens, who led the most elite night army of the Binart Empire, were like this, which was unavoidable and frightening.
Who else in the world besides Hastings could beat Carnegie and the others into such figures?
The rumor quickly spread among the West York fleet as soon as it appeared.
At first, few people believed it.
But as the war progressed, this rumor became more and more convincing. The spread is also becoming more and more widespread. By the time the rumors of the Salega fleet's invasion of Jeppon and Sousse inevitably spread, no one had any doubts about Hastings's speculation of luring the enemy deeper.
For a time, the entire Western fleet was in panic.
Everyone understands that by this time, Sobol has no choice but to take action.
Sober stood with his hands behind his back.
The command hall was silent, and the communication screen in front of him was still dark.
He frowned slightly and waited quietly. Waiting for the Fei League commander who fought a wonderful battle to appear in front of him.
Unlike the officers and soldiers below, Sobol never thought that this battle was commanded by Hastings.
No one understands Hastings¡¯ commanding style better than he does. Although this man had the shadow of Hastings in the details of many tactical changes, he could definitely tell that they were by no means the same person.
MutuallyCompared with Hastings, this man's commanding style is less sophisticated, but more unbridled; less heavy-handed, but more evil.
And more importantly, this person has powerful computing power that even Hastings does not have!
"Is it really you?" Thinking of Moore's previous report, Sober narrowed his eyes slightly.
If Moore¡¯s judgment is correct, then Sobol must admit that although he repeatedly raised the threat level of the fat man, in the end, he still underestimated him.
Unknowingly, the fat man who entered his own realization by possessing artificial intelligence has grown into a commander who is fully qualified to fight against him!
Thinking back on the more than forty hours of fighting, Sobol felt mixed. Although he did not take action, every change on the battlefield did not escape his eyes. The command ability displayed by his opponent made him stand up from the command seat in shock several times, and he ran around the room with his heart racing!
Carnegie made no mistake.
The reason why the situation is like this is all due to the ability of the opponent's commander!
It was only at this time that Sobol became alert. After the Battle of Double Star Angle, he seemed to have relaxed too much.
The opponent divided his forces to cut off the logistics channels, stormed Desiq, and even sent troops to Salega and Jiangsu to calmly arrange their arrangements step by step. But he, who had always been vigilant, after defeating Hastings, marched his army straight into the central star field of Le Lei.
I thought that by winning the Lelei Capital Star, victory would be within reach!
Thinking of this, Sobol couldn't help but bring up a wry smile.
¡°I don¡¯t know why, but while waiting for the commander of the Fei Alliance whom he had never met before, he suddenly thought of Hastings. If the opponent is Hastings, if this is before the battle of the Double Star Corridor, he will definitely not let down his guard. He will definitely not give his opponent such an opportunity.
But, Hastings lost.
After he failed, another person brought an endgame that was originally without any suspense to the present step by step, and it seems that there is a possibility of turning over!
Judging from the Skynet situation map, the Western York peripheral defense chain at this moment is already in name only. Although Banning, Cardel and Keynes were still in front of the four attack arrows of the Fiji Alliance, the battle situation was not so much about West York blocking the opponent as it was about entangled with each other. The four battleship clusters of the Fei League cannot rush into the inner circle, and the defense fleet of Xijue cannot escape. Thus
Sober raised his head and looked at the hyperopia screen on the main screen of the Central Skynet.
Through the torn defense line, which was full of holes, he saw that the bandit fleet, which had been at the rear, was slowly pressing forward.
This is Commander Xiyo¡¯s last desperate chance, right?
He turned his head.
The little girl wearing a white dress and red leather boots was standing next to her.
She raised her head and looked at the Skynet screen. On a pair of big eyes that are as clear and charming as crystal, long eyelashes are raised high. Under the small and cute Yao nose, the delicate pink lips were tightly pursed. He looks a little stubborn.
"Do you think he will accept the dialogue?" Sober asked.
The little girl was thinking without speaking.
After a long time, she frowned slightly and nodded uncertainly.
Sobol smiled slightly, "Maybe he will show up too."
The person Sobol refers to naturally refers to the mysterious artificial intelligence next to Fatty. Until now, the Western Intelligence Department has not figured out how that artificial intelligence appeared next to Fatty.
The little girl remained expressionless.
"Very nervous, right?" Sobol looked into the little girl's eyes with interest: "If I guess correctly, he has some kind of close relationship with you. Maybe you come from the same place."
This sentence is like a thunder.
The little girl looked at Sobol, her clear eyes gradually becoming serious.
Looking at the changes in the little girl's eyes, Sobol knew that a crack had appeared in the hard shell as he guessed.
He waved his hand. Moore and Alejandro, who were standing beside him, both moved away.
"Now, there are only two of us left here." Sobol said slowly: "More than twenty years ago, your appearance made the Binart Empire even more powerful. It was able to grow from national strength in just twenty years to You deserve a lot of credit for catching up with Feiyang Republic!"
"But, I still don't like to deal with a person who has a secret! Especially a secret with a purpose." Sobol looked at the little girl: "Over the years, I have tracedAll the clues about you. Although it hasn't taken shape yet, the information in my hand is enough for me to make some simple judgments. "
The little girl was silent and looked at Sobol quietly.
After a long time, her clear voice, like a wind chime in the winter snow, rang faintly: "Really?"
"Being stared at by an artificial intelligence is sometimes a very painful thing." Sober said with a smile: "No matter what you do or investigate, you must use the most primitive means to transmit information."
The little girl was silent again.
"There is a place that you should be familiar with." Sobol said leisurely.
The little girl looked at her toes. After a long time, she finally raised her head and asked, "Where?"
Sobol looked into the little girl¡¯s eyes and said slowly: ¡°Earth!¡±
As soon as these two words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became depressing.
Even Moore and Alessandro, who were standing far away and did not hear any conversation, felt the dead silence as if time had frozen, and were momentarily confused.
"No matter what you know, that will happen in the future." After hearing the word "Earth", the expression on the little girl's face seemed to become peaceful and relaxed. She raised her face and showed a smile that Sobol had never seen before, "I think you need my help in controlling the other party's electronic system now, right?"
Sobol frowned slightly.
He didn¡¯t expect that he would drop such bombshells one after another and not get the final answer.
However, compared to the secret behind the little girl, he cared more about what the little girl just said.
"Can you?"
Sobol sat down on the command seat.
He understands better than anyone else that without that little boy, the Fei Alliance fleet would never have been able to reach the current situation.
You must know that a fleet with artificial intelligence as its core has an overwhelming advantage over ordinary fleets in terms of command system, fire control, information transmission, intelligence collection and battleship control.
Prior to this, the two sides were evenly matched in electronic warfare. Sober believed that this was because the other party also had artificial intelligence in charge.
But at this moment, the little girl¡¯s words gave him a different idea
"Maybe" The little girl turned her head away.
While speaking, the signal light on the communication screen lit up.
At this moment, whether it was in Sobol's flagship command room, the parliamentary observation ship hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, or the battleship still engaged in fierce battle, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
The thin Carnegie had dark eyes and clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh.
The exhausted Banning stood up from the command seat.
Keens lit a cigarette, half-squinted his eyes, and looked at the communication screen through the curling smoke.
Kader sat up straight, took off his military hat, smoothed his hair that was soaked with sweat, and put the hat back on.
These four people are all Sobol¡¯s right-hand men.
More than forty hours ago, when the Fei Alliance fleet appeared as scheduled, every one of them was full of ambition. I thought this would be an overwhelming victory without any suspense.
In their view, as long as this battle is over, no one in the Fei League will be able to stop their own steps.
From here to Lesk, from Lesk through Chalkna and straight into Triflaland, and then attack from two sides and sweep across the two great republics of Fejan and Lane, they will accompany Sobor and achieve something that no one has achieved in thousands of years. Dare to imagine the grand hegemony!
However, more than forty hours of fighting had drained away their fighting spirit bit by bit.
No one expected that the Philippine Alliance, which had many internal conflicts, would fight to such an extent. No one would have thought that after losing Hastings, another person would step up and command the Fiji Allied Forces in combat with more powerful computing power than Hastings.
As people who have directly fought against the opposing commander, they are full of curiosity about this guy who they have exhausted all their strength but cannot defeat.
The communication screen slowly lit up.
When they saw the person on the screen, everyone fell into silence.
A young General Le Ray appeared on the screen. Short hair, round face, small ears, honest eyes and expression. If not the fat man Le Lei who has been spinning in everyone¡¯s minds countless times, who else could it be?
"It's really him!" The staff couldn't hide their surprise and started talking about it.
Carnegie and others were even more focused.Staring at the fat man, his eyes were surprised and confused, as if he was desperately trying to connect the Fei League commander with superb command, and the unremarkable fat man in front of him.
However, it can be seen from their half-open mouths that this is very difficult!
"Admiral Tian Xingjian," Sobol said after a moment of silence, "we finally meet."
"According to the etiquette of Western York nobles, I should say I am honored, right?" On the command platform of the flagship [President Hamilton], the fat man stood on the railing and stared at Sobol on the main screen of Skynet in front.
Beside him, hundreds of base camp staff officers and officers stood silently, looking at their commander solemnly.
Although many of them were so tired that it was difficult to stand up, their hair was wet, and their clothes were soaked with sweat. However, everyone straightened their spine.
More than forty hours ago, not everyone thought Fatty was qualified to play against Sobol. And more than forty hours later, Fatty has used his command to win the heartfelt respect of every Fiji League officer and soldier, and has also naturally earned the qualification to talk to Sobol as an equal opponent!
"Kill!" At this moment, the communication channels of many staff headsets were still roaring through the sky.
The battle did not stop with the meeting of the commanders of both sides. In the starry sky outside the porthole window, the battleship was still swimming at high speed, and the energy cannon light was still criss-crossing. Countless Fei League officers and soldiers were rushing towards the enemy one after another.
The battle is far more brutal than words can describe.
Feyans, Leres, Laings, Chakna, Tatanians, Puditoks, Silyaks, Bemathese wear different colors Soldiers in different styles of uniforms are united as never before and fight bravely.
This voice, this light, seems to have traveled through time and space, coming from the Lerei Patriotic War four years ago.
Freedom, democracy, family and country, glory
Everything is in this battle!
"I should be the one who feels honored." Sobol carefully looked at the young man in front of him.
This was the first time he saw Tian Xingjian. What is different from the photos and video materials is that the young man in front of him looks calmer than a few years ago, and his eyes are more determined. The greenness on his face has long since disappeared with the temper of the war. Although he is still chubby, there is a vague military edge all over his body that makes people feel heartbroken.
Even when he was standing in front of him, his eyes were not afraid!
While Sobol was sizing up Fatty, Fatty was also sizing up his biggest enemy in his life.
"Two eyes, one nose, two ears, one mouth" The fat man counted carefully several times, feeling a little confused for a moment. Damn it, it¡¯s nothing special. His eyes slid down Sobol's body Could it be that he had two? Hiss!
Even if Sobol's head was broken, it would be impossible for him to guess what the resolute-faced fat man in front of him was thinking.
Sobol asked: "How is Marshal Hastings' health?"
"It's not good." Fatty said bluntly.
"It's a pity," Sobol said with a faint smile on his lips, "I originally expected to be able to defeat him for the second time."
As soon as Sobol's words came out, the eyelids of the generals on both sides jumped at the same time.
Older gingers are more spicy!
Everyone knows that Sobol¡¯s most important purpose in sending his troops south is to defeat Hastings head-on and completely cut down the last spiritual pillar of the Fiji Alliance!
Precisely because they defeated Hastings in the battle of the Double Star Corridor, the Western-Jordan coalition forces swept away the panic they had experienced since their march south, and their morale was high. After that, they pursued one after another and swept across the southeast with the sword pointed at Reske.
But who would have thought that they actually encountered a stubborn resistance from the Fiji Alliance in the central star field of Lelei!
This moment is the most critical moment of the battle.
On the West York side, they have landed on the capital star of Lelei. After more than 40 hours of fighting, the Fiji Allied Forces tore the outer defenses of West York to pieces. Xijiao's troops still had the upper hand, but the Fei League cut off Xijiao's logistics and launched a battle against Desik, Jiepen and Sous.
Overall, the situation is evenly divided between the two sides.
Therefore, when he is about to take over the command of this unwinnable battle, Sobol needs to boost his own morale. Let the exhausted officers and soldiers forget everything that happened in the past forty hours. Follow behind him.
Although it¡¯s just a short sentence. However, while this sentence suppressed the fat man with his momentum, it also had an immeasurable encouraging effect on the demoralized officers and soldiers of Western York.?.
There are two meanings in his words.
1. The commander of the Fei Alliance fleet is not Hastings. No need to worry at all.
Second, even Hastings is just a defeated general. If he can defeat Hastings once, he can defeat him a second time!
Whether one is good at using any environment and conditions to create a situation that is beneficial to one's own side is one of the basis for distinguishing a commander's talent. In novels, martial arts masters can injure others by picking flowers or folding leaves. In reality, commanders are equally good at using any subtlety to gain victory for themselves!
This is no small trick.
This is the road to victory!
In the silence, Russell, McKinley and other Fei League generals clenched their fists.
Sobor has been at the top of the famous rankings, and has been as famous as Hastings for many years. Even they felt endless pressure when facing Sobor.
"The same thing that others said was an arrogant joke, but Sobol said it with such force that there was no way to refute it.
As a commander, once the opponent suppresses his momentum, he will be restrained everywhere in the future. However, whether it was in terms of experience or reputation, the gap between Fatty and Sober was too big.
What¡¯s worse is that no one can help him at this time. Everything can only be done by the fat man himself. The others jumped in to retort at this moment. Their identity and confidence were already weak, so their momentum was weakened. When they came to the rescue for the fat man, they were even weaker.
I¡¯m afraid that the battle has not even started yet, and the psychological shadow will fall on me.
Just when everyone was feeling anxious, Fatty laughed in his heart.
Very few people know that the psychology works that this guy studied in the laboratory of the Garipalan Military Academy could have beaten Sobol to death!
