Him and their stars.

Chapter 1147

This remote meeting of the Privy Council lasted until the source wave transfer device was a bit overwhelmed, and it finally came to an end.The youngest member of this session of the Privy Council, Suliuka King Brunhilt will serve as the governor of the dawn star field and the commander of the expedition fleet, and the order will also spread throughout the universe within a few days.

However, before that, some positive changes that seem to ease the situation are already underway.

On March 833, 3 in the common calendar, at 13:18 galactic standard time, in the galaxy that has been tentatively named the "Circle of Miracles", the commander of the expeditionary force, the flagship of the blue star community's expeditionary fleet, the dreadnought ship Independence Admiral Connerys received the good news while having dinner with the right and left hands of the fleet.

"So, the Third Fleet of the Imperial Guard has already confirmed that it has left the Dawn Star Domain?"

"Yes, the reconnaissance fleet is here to report that the Third Fleet of the Imperial Guard has a total of 890 seven warships. After completing maintenance from the Unity Fortress, they all left the Dawn Star Domain at 3:2 on March 14, along the New Continent Highway. Heading towards the glory colony of the empire." The intelligence staff replied.

Admiral Connerys subconsciously looked at the time on the clock next to him, and found that nearly two weeks had passed, and he felt an uncomfortable feeling of being thrown back into the primitive society.

But there is no way, this is a new continent, there is no coverage of the source wave terminal, and the communication basically depends on the (gravitational wave beacon) roar, it is already very good to be able to send the news in its entirety.

"If there are no accidents, the Third Guard Fleet of the Imperial Army should arrive at the Gate of Glory within three days. Our intelligence personnel will naturally detect it." Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Tivington said.

"The fleets of the imperial princes and star fleets in the dawn star field have been withdrawing one after another in the past two months, and if you count the withdrawn guard fleet, the imperial army that is still in the ring of miracles and its vicinity besides……"

"Half of the Fifth Imperial Guard Fleet, and all of the Ninth Frontier Strike Fleet. Including the Titans Dawn Angel and Vulcan Ayran, as well as two dreadnoughts." The chief of staff paused, and said: "If you throw Regardless of these battleships, the strength of our fleet deployed here has already reached twice that of the empire."

"Even if capital ships are counted, we should surpass the Empire." Lieutenant General Picard, the admiral of the Tenth Fleet and (in name) second in command of the Expeditionary Force, also showed a satisfied smile: "We have already put the whole country to use All the dreadnoughts have been transferred here. Ten vs. four, I have the advantage!"

Admiral Connors always felt that his adversary was pissing him off, but he couldn't find any proof.However, this is not the time to care about this.The point now is that the main force of the imperial army has been moistened. What does this mean?

"Your Excellency, I heard that the Prime Minister of Valpolis was very friendly at Huaxu's Galactic Civilization Council. I guess the empire has no plans to go to war with us." The chief of staff paused for a moment, then laughed again Said: "Of course, neither do we."

There is one thing to say, although there are many historical issues left over from the empire and the community that have not been resolved, and some small disputes and small frictions will inevitably occur in this operation, but overall, the two sides can be regarded as sincere cooperation in combat.

As for after breaking through the Devil's Eye and capturing the Devil's Throat, everyone's behavior of grabbing territory is also understandable.After all, it is a land of no man. If you grab more planets and occupy more waterway nodes, you can always gain some advantages in the follow-up land negotiations.

However, even in such a frenzied staking process, there were quarrels, brawls, even armed fights and deaths, but no heavy weapons or warships were used. This can already be regarded as a harmonious relationship up.

It can be seen that neither side really intends to tear their faces apart.

Then, the empire withdrew its troops in the next step and made a friendly move to lower the pressure on the front line. This is also a very smart and responsible move.

However, Commander Connors still couldn't believe it.Even if you don't intend to tear your face apart.How could the majestic Holy Galactic Empire be so knowledgeable?If the giant dragon sees the shiny treasure and doesn't flap its wings, why should it change to a vegetarian diet?

"So, Your Excellency, it is actually your extreme pressure that has the best effect." Chief of Staff Tivington said: "Before both sides have made up their minds to go to war, whoever can show the greatest determination will be able to occupy The initiative. Your Excellency, now I have the advantage, and this is all thanks to you!"

Oh, so I am so good!The commander suddenly felt overwhelmed, and even the unpalatable fried lunch and compressed biscuits on the plate seemed delicious.

In fact, Admiral Connors was indeed very proud of his decision at the time.After receiving the report from Lieutenant Colonel Horatio Wayne and seeing the data and images of the "Ring", he decisively ordered the fleet of the entire army to quickly assemble and rush to the scene for support.This move caused the Commonwealth Expeditionary Fleet to lose control of most of the route nodes in the Dawn Star Domain, and even had to abandon some temporary space stations that were half built.However, in the later days, the people on earth have always maintained a stronger force than all potential competitors near the ring.

The gains and losses in this can only be proved by history.But at least for now, both the central government of the earth and the top leaders of the expeditionary force are mostly admiring the decisiveness of Commander Connors.

Even Lieutenant General Picard, who has always thought that Connors is a "general road specimen" and "only worthy of being a commander of the guard of honor", actually has to look at the former with admiration.

"In this matter, you have indeed shown extraordinary courage and courage."

Since even the old enemy said so, it should be true.Ever since, Admiral Connerys became even more supportive.He always felt that he might not be good at commanding in battle, but he was indeed a super brave and decisive commander.

"So, what should we do next?" Lieutenant General Picard asked while cutting the luncheon meat on the plate.

"What are you referring to?" The commander was in a good mood, and asked back with a smile on his face, while pouring him a glass of wine - there was no more red wine, but it was rum mixed with the boiled water.

Then, he poured another drink for Lieutenant General Tivington on the opposite side.After all, she is a woman, and it is a basic interest not to force women to drink.However, the freshly squeezed juice is of course gone. The so-called beverage is boiled water mixed with saccharin.

Lieutenant General Picard had nothing to say for a while.He was beginning to feel that Admiral Connerys was not a commander, but more like a well-rounded chief of staff.But the problem is that the other party put on such a low profile, and I have to admit it.

So, he could only squeeze out a stiff business smile, took the cup with both hands, and spent several seconds sorting out his words before saying:

"The empire is withdrawing its troops and has already shown its attitude. So, shall we follow up?"

Admiral Connerys was slightly taken aback, and then showed a pensive expression.

Chief of Staff Tivington said: "Sir Picard, the premise of extreme pressure is the limit. If we relieve the pressure before the dust settles, we may be injured by the rebound."

"So, Madam Chief of Staff, when will the dust settle?" Lieutenant General Picard asked back.

"This……"

Before the other party could speak, Lieutenant General Picard stretched out his fork and poked the lunch meat on the plate: "Your Excellency, we have gathered more than [-] warships in the three surrounding galaxies, with nearly ten million sailors and stormtroopers. Maintain We can extract the energy for basic facilities nearby, but the food, medicine, clothing and daily necessities needed by the army are astronomical every day. The production bases closest to us are New Yumen and New Lushun. Now , all supplies and supplies have to take the New World Highway, passing through the Devil's Throat... Uh, no, the Dawn Pass galaxy transits. The supply line is nearly twice as long as when we besieged the Devil's Throat."

Lieutenant General Tivington covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Lieutenant General Carter, who sits in Xinyumen behind, didn't say these words."

That is to say, the logistics minister responsible for the supply of the entire army didn't complain, but you, the deputy commander, insisted on saying strange things, isn't it a bit of an overreach?

The lady chief of staff said again: "I know that the soldiers of the whole army have not been able to eat fresh meat, fruits and vegetables for two weeks, but at least we have not stopped cooking, haven't we? We are also sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers."

Indeed, because the supplies brought up from the rear are limited, everyone can only live on compressed rations temporarily.This thing is actually the same type as kerosene fruit, and the taste is naturally hard to describe.

Then, His Excellency the Commander declared that difficulties are temporary, but glory is eternal.For the final victory, the whole family must unite as one, share joys and sorrows.Then it was ordered that the meals of officers and soldiers must be consistent.As long as a soldier eats compressed biscuits, officers don't have this to eat bread and steak.

With this operation going on, not to mention how much resentment the officers have, at least the morale of the soldiers has been maintained for the time being.

Chief of Staff Tivington also said that high-ranking generals like us have been eating kerosene-flavored field lunch meat with you big soldiers, and have made such a big sacrifice. You should be a little moved, right?
Lieutenant General Picard sighed: "Madam Chief of Staff, the arrogant soldiers don't care if you eat more meat than them, but whether you have meat or not."

"It sounds like a group of mercenaries, not professional soldiers of the community." The chief of staff sneered.

It's as if we professional soldiers are not mercenaries.Lieutenant General Picard sneered in his heart, but said: "Do you think I'm just talking about food?"

He was about to say something more, when Admiral Connors patted the table: "Okay! Alright! Both of you, you have three general stars on your shoulders, can you at least behave better than the third grader?" Students above grades are more mature? Chief of Staff, there will be a price to pay for extreme pressure, I have expected it, but this does not mean that we are not wrong at all."

Chief of Staff Tivington quickly bowed his head and apologized.

What a talker!Lieutenant General Picard couldn't help but be amazed, and felt that if he had this ability, the commander of the coalition forces might not be able to turn to the "General Road Specimen".

Admiral Connerys said again: "I understand your worries, Your Excellency Picard. However, thanks to Brother Yang's plan in the rear, our army has organized farming and production on several planets. Now they have begun to harvest. .Especially in Yaochi, they have already sent us 30 tons of grains, fruits and vegetables and frozen fresh products. Once their supplies are delivered, all problems will be solved.”

Lieutenant General Tivington: "I didn't expect the soldiers of No.30 Eighth Division to be very good at drills, and they are also good at production in the field! Brigadier General Schiller is worthy of being a seasoned veteran. People are disappointed. Of course, this is also thanks to the people we liberated from the looters, and their representative, General Lombard, for their full cooperation. They have proved with their actions who is the real beacon of civilization."

"Chief of Staff, when the support from Yaochi Star arrives, we should apply to the National Defense Commission to award Brigadier General Schiller and General Lomba the Crown Medal. Oh, yes, it is best to give General Lomba the honorary rank of a guest general." .”

"I will personally write the application." Madam Chief of Staff said.

What is 30 tons of food enough for?Enough for us to eat a few meals!Also, am I talking about food only?General Picard wanted to slap the table, but he picked up the rum in front of him and poured it with water.

I have to admit, the taste is really hard to describe.It would be great if Yaochi could send some self-brewed wine over there.

The commander said again: "However, we really can't throw all the burdens on the colony and the newly established camp. This ring can actually be used. The exploration progress of Lieutenant General Sayo and Major General Marlowin, Where are we now?"

"There is still no trace of the Great Khan. In addition, there are only ten floating continents above the ring world that can be entered. Lieutenant General Sai Yue personally sits in charge, and the exploration progress is steadily advancing." The chief of staff said.

There is no way, although more than 10 of our own marine troops have fallen on the ring world, but these soldiers and horses, placed on these continents suspended in the universe, are indeed like pepper noodles sprinkled in the sea.

"However, the forward headquarters has been established, and we can also try to let the engineering troops reclaim the fields on it." Admiral Connors pondered for a while, and then said: "However, let everyone be sure to Raise the realm, especially to prevent the empire from coming to our continent to cause friction."

"The empire's local army is generally restrained. The trouble is the troops of some vassal states. You know, the Kaitai, Bakwe, and Angman are all happy to serve as minions for the dragon."

"If it is the army of the empire headquarters, report it immediately. If it is a vassal state, resolutely fight back! The land and dignity of the earth people are not something that some big cats and birdmen can offend!"

You bastard, you have already considered yourself the governor of the Dawn Star Region.Lieutenant General Picard thought.

However, he also had to admit that, whether as the commander of the expeditionary force or the (self-appointed) interim governor of the Dawn Star Region, Commander Connerys hadn't made any mistakes so far.

Compared with the commander of the army, he seems to be suitable for this kind of civilian work.

But the question is, is the situation really stable enough to consider the problem from a development perspective?

The lieutenant general looked out of the porthole in the distance, and the "Ring World" left by the enlightened ones was still bathed in the starlight just like the past thousands of years.The mirror surface of the dome reflects the sun's rays, forming a string of radiant jades, still like the necklaces worn by the gods to the stars.

Now, uninvited guests from the galaxy have landed nearly 20 individuals on this necklace.However, they are like ants who have broken into the kingdom of the gods, as if they will never be able to penetrate the secrets contained in it for a lifetime.
