Him and their stars.

Chapter 1651: Long Live Fleet and Long Live Division

Perhaps Yang Xiyi was really a person favored by the spirit of the universe. Just three minutes later, the second unmanned interstellar ship passed through the star gate, carrying tens of millions of tons of supplies urgently needed by the fleet.

This time, the two destroyers of Yang's fleet that had approached the star gate seemed to be able to clearly see with the naked eye a transport ship that looked like a barracuda, which had just emerged from the liquid shell of the deep blue giant planet. At first glance, it looked like a ferocious beast that leaped out of the abyss sea.

Well... compared to the appearance of the giant planet disguised outside the star gate, the transport ship is also very small. At most, it is a mosquito emerging from the ocean. Of course, it is impossible to see it with the naked eye, but they can at least use a radio telescope to see a high-definition real-time picture without any delay.

After rounding off, of course it can be considered as what we see with the naked eye.

The crew on the destroyer let out an exclamation, which then turned into ecstasy of excitement.

"Destroyer Tooth Soldier 277, requesting trial passage."

"Destroyer Gladiator 121, requesting standby observation."

The crew's request soon reached the Tianshu Laboratory.

Since it was the request of the soldiers of Yang's fleet, Yu Lian certainly would not object, but he still directly suggested to Yang Xiyi: "Are you going to conduct a fly-through test directly? I thought you would at least use drones."

"I also want to be cautious, but I don't have much time. Thirty hours ago, we had a firefight with Viscount Mettig's fleet that was following us. Ha, after being promoted to major general, this guy has awakened his lingering attribute."

"…Mettig? Neat Mettig?"

"Oh, you know this one?" Yang Xiyi glanced at Yu Lian with interest. "The Imperial Army has nearly 40,000 active brigadier generals and 15,000 major generals. It should be impossible for you to remember all of them."

Indeed, Major General Mettig is not well-known now, because he is not the type who likes to show off. However, in another timeline, he was also a Marshal of the Empire. He was known for his steady and solid use of troops, and was a very typical Imperial academic commander. After Ms. Ostana Barr entered the Grand Marshal's Office, he served as the first chief of staff of Queen Brunhilde for a long time when she led the army in person.

Of course, after gradually retiring from the military, he did not follow the traditional Tirello nobles to become a general or a prime minister, but instead became the president of the Imperial Royal University of Arts, which shows his unique personality.

However, this is also a story on another timeline. The current Viscount Mettig is indeed just an ordinary major general of the Imperial Army who was born into a noble family, received comprehensive military training since childhood, and served in the army after graduating from a professional school. This is almost a resume template for the children of Tirilo nobles.

"This should be a very difficult guy to deal with, right?" Yu Lian asked with a smile.

"Indeed." Yang Xiyi nodded vigorously. "There are at least eight imperial fleets chasing me. I have beaten every one of them, but Major General Mettig has always managed to escape unscathed. He is indeed an excellent general!"

The measure of a general's "excellence" is whether he can escape unscathed from you, right? Well, Mr. Yang's mood seems to have recovered a lot, and he started to act smooth again.

"If such an outstanding talent were to perish in this starry sky, it would be better to cut off one finger than to injure ten fingers." Yang Xiyi said in a cruel tone: "In fact, I am really considering setting an ambush to wipe him out."

Yu Lian immediately became interested.

In another timeline, Yang Xiyi had never fought with Mettig. But apart from that, many famous generals of the empire had also suffered a lot in front of Teacher Yang. This was probably because the young and vigorous factions that grew up on the battlefield were aggressive and aggressive. Once they had the upper hand, they could achieve brilliant results, but they were also easily calculated by the shrewd and calculating brain factions like Yang Xiyi.

In comparison, it is difficult for the brainy group to accomplish anything when encountering the steady and down-to-earth academic group, so it can easily turn into a dull battle that tests one's inner strength.

  However, when I think about it, I am actually afraid of the kind of opponent who builds a strong camp and fights a stupid battle. Doesn't this mean that I am essentially a smart general?

Yu Lian immediately became complacent. From now on, if anyone says that I am a psychic monkey who relies on brute force to face the wind and waves, I will be angry with him!

At this time, Yang Xiyi said again: "Viscount Mettig is a calm and steady general. It should be difficult to be fooled. However, fighting a mobile war in the vast starry sea of ​​the Dawn Nebula is different from fighting a positional war in the Milky Way. You can always find some flaws. Unfortunately, I still don't have enough troops. Even if I catch him, I can't make a fatal blow. If I still have a few battleships, the result will definitely be different."

The reinforcements have really arrived. It is a fleet that Marshal Bonaparte squeezed out from the Nantianmen garrison. Except for the Hyperion battlecruiser, the rest are old warships, but they are well maintained and can guarantee basic combat effectiveness.

In addition, there is the most advanced aircraft carrier, the Enterprise, which Yu Lian has high hopes for.

Just as he was about to share the good news, he saw Yang Xiyi laughing at himself again: "Hey, forget it, a fugitive who is as frightened as a stray dog ​​is actually thinking of making a big news. I am really greedy."

  "Yes, it does not quite fit in with your past low-carbon and environmentally friendly attitude." Yu Lian said with a smile.

“So, it turns out that I was influenced by other comrades in Dawn Nebula.” Yang Xiyi spread his hands.

Other comrades? Yu Lian gave Yang Xiyi a meaningful look.

"Let's take a look at the situation of the Star Gate first." He added: "If everything can be accomplished, my considerations for the Dawn Nebula can come to life."

Overall strategic consideration? Yu Lian's eyes became more meaningful.

"If you can't do something even after trying your best, don't force yourself to do it. If something is within your reach but out of reach, you can't force it. However, if it is within your reach but you turn a blind eye to it, that is irresponsible behavior." Yang Xiyi said.

"Civilization, country or ideology, they are all made up of human subjective initiative, and I admire this. But in the final analysis, I just hope that some people can have some self-awareness besides being double-standard," said Yu Lian.

Then, just when the two were about to start supporting each other again, a new report came.

"Ya Bing No. 227, confirmed that we have passed through the star gate!" Xiaobai's voice was excited.

"Yabing 227 has passed the stargate protection layer and is docking with the Tianmushan supply ship." Luo Zeshi's voice also came over. He even acted happier than Xiao Bai.

Yang Xiyi made a tactical retreat: "There are still 227 tons of gold and 2000 ton of various zero elements on Yabing 1. They are all the spoils of my combat in the Dawn Nebula. Hurry up and load them."

Yu Lian was very moved and felt that Teacher Yang was simply a model robber. Even after being arrested, he would find a way to inform his accomplices of the hidden location of the stolen money. He was a role model of the underworld. Even hundreds of years later, he would surely be praised as the Great Sage by all the brothers in the underworld!

Soon after, an island-class light carrier that looked the most miserable also left the large fleet and staggered towards the star gate.

"This Taiyuandao is really in bad shape, but if it is repaired in time, it may be able to be restored. At the very least, it should be able to be used as a local patrol ship. In addition, there are more than 100 fighter planes in its hangar, so it can still be repaired. Probably..."

Yang Xiyi looked like he knew how to live. In Yu Lian's opinion, he really had some of the charm of our army in the previous life. Of course, that was when our army had not yet become rich.

"The latest Type 33 fighters will be there to make up for it. The White Devil fighters are just a transitional replacement after all, and are no longer worthy of the White Devil Squadron's capabilities."

Yang Xiyi said, "Indeed, the average kill count of the White Devil Squadron pilots has reached double digits. The top ace, Lieutenant Li Baolu, has now accumulated more than 50 kills. He is indeed a flying genius that I have never seen in my life. I vaguely remember that this young man seemed to have been discovered by you from some local aviation school, right?"

Yu Lian was naturally surprised by this record, but at least he was not shocked.

After all, he is the "White Devil" from another timeline, the strongest ace pilot of the Volunteer Army who flies a pure white-painted Cang Fang and makes the Empire tremble in fear.

To be honest, Yu Lian was always worried that the other students in the 830th class would have different experiences from their previous lives, so they were not able to fully realize their potential and grow into complete bodies. However, a combat genius like Li Baolu was another matter. As long as he was given the best equipment, training, and actual combat in advance, he would definitely be able to grow up earlier than in his previous life.

Of course, with the fighter squadron achieving such a record, one can imagine the performance of Yang’s fleet.

"I believe that when I see your log, I will be unable to resist shouting 'Long live Fleet Yang'." Yu Lian said, "Although I have already shouted this in private when the news from the Unity Fortress came."

"You'd better shout like this when you are on Earth. Otherwise, I will definitely be on some masters' blacklist and enjoy the treatment of Marshal Yue." Yang Xiyi sneered.

"It's more likely to awaken you." Yu Lian said.

As for how to awaken and what to do after awakening, the two did not continue to talk about it, but exchanged a tacit look with mutual contempt. However, Yang Xiyi's subsequent words made Yu Lian's heart sink.

"However, the White Devil Squadron has suffered more than 70% casualties. The captain has changed three times. Lieutenant Li Baolu, who you are most optimistic about, has already taken over the position of captain."

“…War is always like this.”

"The second best player in the team after Li Baolu, the girl named Martha Deacon, do you still remember her?"

"Of course I remember. On Navy Day, Wayne was the flying ace on the Blue Monarch. You are not going to tell me that she died?" Yu Lian sighed.

Although the girl was from Wayne's ship, wasn't Simon the same? In fact, all the members on the two ships during the Navy Day were regarded by Yu Lian as his original team.

Most of these old comrades did not join the army, but after all, swords and guns are blind and things are unpredictable. After the battlefield, even comrades who did not join the Community Defense Forces died in the war, not to mention those in the army.

Yu Lian thinks it is still difficult for him to adapt to this.

Fortunately, Yang Xiyi's tone was not so heavy afterwards: "She survived, but lost a leg and an arm, her eyes were severely burned, and she also had some nerve damage. She needs to go to an orbital hospital with better equipment to receive more adequate treatment. However, even if her hands and legs are restored through the gene therapy chamber, she will not be able to return to her pilot position."

Yu Lian said: "Baiyujing will be the main production base for new torpedo ships and new fighters in the future, and the scale of the aviation school will be expanded nearby. That girl is very suitable to stay and be an instructor.

Hearing that Lieutenant Martha Daken survived the disaster, he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but he couldn't do it at all. He knew very well that this certainly couldn't be the only bad news Yang Xiyi brought to him.

However, before he could ask, he received news that the Dayuan Island light carrier had passed through the star gate.

At this point, Yang Xiyi's expressionless face finally showed clear joy: "Let's let the two immigrant ships pass first. The people evacuated from Dawn, Unity Fortress, and even Yaochi and Miracle Ring are all on board. There are more than 200,000 people now. They are civilians and have no reason to continue to take risks with us. But they are also the most loyal and brave people. Even in the most difficult times, they have never said they would surrender to the empire."

With more than 200,000 people, it is certainly impossible for everyone to refuse to bend, but as long as the overall atmosphere is set, any strange words and dissent will surely be drowned out by the people's thoughts.

"They will be properly resettled. No, they will be given the greatest preferential treatment. The New Shenzhou star region welcomes all strong, loyal and hardworking people, no matter where they come from." Yu Lian said.

"The tone of your voice makes it seem as if this New Shenzhou is really your territory." Yang Xiyi said with a smile.

Yu Lian pretended that he didn't understand his subtext, but grasped the key point of his words: "But, Yaochi? Ring of Miracles? Has the Yang Fleet been here?"

"Of course I have. I even almost recovered the Ring of Miracles." Yang Xiyi said.

"...Teacher Yang is awesome."

"Well, this is of course a mouthpiece. I actually wanted to attract the attention of Marshal Farrell himself and the Vulcan Airan by making a feint attack on the Ring of Miracles. You can say that it was at least half successful."

"I'm very curious." Yu Lian suddenly widened his eyes.

He did not answer immediately, but changed the subject: "As for Yao Chi. I witnessed with my own eyes the 12th Division and Marshal Li Gelu's soldiers and civilians launching a full-scale attack on the imperial defenders. As of December 28, all the imperial strongholds around our position had been eliminated. The only landing position left for the empire on Yao Chi Star was the semi-abandoned settlement more than kilometers away from Marshal Li Gelu."

Yu Lian was certain that this was the battle he had seen in the video.

"Were you there?"

"I was indeed there. I just carried out a tactical maneuver in the outer orbit of the Yao Chi system, which led away the Imperial warships on standby in the Yao Chi orbit. Obviously, our comrades seized this opportunity."

  No wonder. I originally thought it was a reckless attack by the 38th Division, but it was clearly a perfect air-to-ground coordination!

"By the time the battle was completely over on December 12, the Imperial Stormtroopers and Panzergrenadiers had left nearly 28 corpses and prisoners on the planet's plains, which was also three times the number of the th Division. Now, the planet has temporarily resumed a ceasefire, but they are still standing. If there is anyone who can truly shout long live, they are more worthy of such an honor."

"Long live the 38th Division!" Yu Lian raised his hands sincerely and cheered loudly.
