Him and their stars.

Chapter 1652: Admiral Yang's Three Caves

After Yu Lian finished cheering loudly, he suddenly realized that from now on, the title of the 38th Division might become "Long Live Division". As for whether this will really become an official title and whether it will become a legend in history, it should only depend on the influence of the person in the future.

He suddenly felt that even if he did not want the achievements of the soldiers in the New World to be buried in the dust and eventually forgotten, it was probably necessary for him to enhance his own voice in history.

However, would this lead to something unspeakable? Yu Lian immediately fell into a struggle.

Perhaps because of the screen, Yang Xiyi did not see Yu Lian's micro-expression, or perhaps he saw it but was too lazy to argue with him. Anyway, seeing that there was still time, he explained in more detail what he knew about the war situation in the New World.

In fact, on November 11, before Yang's fleet had contacted Yaochi, the soldiers of the 20th Division had already launched a counterattack against the imperial base in Shanbei. They not only repelled the imperial army that had entered Marshal Li's Gele, but also flattened more than half of the so-called Shanbei camp of the empire.

"They also killed Major General Hongkas, the then deputy commander of the Imperial Yaochi Front. The commander of the front, Major General Sulme, also committed suicide out of fear of punishment." Yang Xiyi said.

Again, the Imperial Army had more than 10,000 major generals, and unless they were future "historical celebrities", it was impossible for Yu Lian to know them all. However, they were generals after all, and the death of two of them at once was definitely not an ordinary loss that could be dealt with calmly, even for an empire with so many generals.

"The video I received took place on December 12th... That is to say, before that, Yao Chi had already launched a full-scale counterattack and often won." Yu Lian said.

"Yao Chi has been attacking all the time. In terms of initiative, the soldiers of the 38th Division are enough to shame all the combat units in the army, including you and me." Yang Xiyi said.

Yu Lian wanted to shout "380,000 years old" again, and exclaimed loudly: "Indeed, I am just hiding behind the fortress and defending it, and you are just hiding here and there."

Yang Xiyi said: "After Major General Surmey committed suicide with honor, the defense of Yaochi was temporarily handed over to Colonel Arianne Einahe."

"..."

"From your expression, you know her?" Yang Xiyi was slightly startled, then suddenly realized and said: "Indeed, I heard that she is a beauty, and she is also a member of the shogunate of King Suliuka. You should know her."

I do know her, but I have only met her once in my life and we have never spoken. Yu Lian thought. However, does Countess Einach, who served as the chief steward of the Hoshimi Pavilion in another timeline, have the skills to command land battles?

Or, relying on prophecy? But Miss Arianne Einacher is not even twenty years old now. I remember that she is just a dumb little girl who has just reached the third ring. Her future vision skill has not yet awakened.

"Of course, Colonel Einah is only acting as the commander. The New World Theater will let Major General Mettig take over the Yaochi area. It is said that this is the suggestion made by King Suliuka to the Grand Marshal's Office."

This was the Nth time that Yu Lian had heard the name of this future imperial general. The future chief of staff of the imperial army was indeed an all-rounder, not only an excellent fleet commander, but also quite methodical in land warfare command.

If he were the enemy on the Yao Chi side, even if he couldn't capture Marshal Li Gelu, he wouldn't suffer a big loss.

However, considering that a month later, the Empire even lost its main base in front of Marshal Li's Gler City, and Major General Mettig was still playing hide-and-seek with Teacher Yang, it means that this matter did not come to pass.

In fact, every week after the battle that cost the Imperial Army two major generals, Colonel Arianne Einach was also transferred away. Then, a major general of the Imperial Army named Chagtai Kongcheek took office on the Yaochi side.

"This name sounds like an Anmon...An Anmon." Yu Lian still couldn't remember these passers-by.

"He is from Anmons, and he is also the commander of the 8th Royal Armored Grenadiers Division, and he is also a disciple of King Shazamon." Compared with Yu Lian, Yang Xiyi seemed much more professional. Although he always wanted to be a second-rate historian, he was a top-notch commander and a staff officer.

Well, this is not surprising. Yu Lian shrugged his shoulders. It is impossible for the Imperial Privy Council and the Grand Marshal's Office to always be of the same mind.

Remember that the contemporary King Shahzamun is also a strong contender for the throne.

He is not the most capable fighter like King Soleon and King Slen, nor the richest like King Bedor and King Tamir, nor a top scientist like King Weilunt, nor the most handsome and naturally domineering like King Suliuka. However, he is always regarded as a "wise king" by the court and the public. Naturally, it is because he has the best popularity.

The "virtuous king's" disciples volunteered to take the most dangerous position. Isn't this in line with his character?

"It is also said that the Enbu people, as a vassal state of the empire, will send two ace Claw special forces to the New World, specifically for the attack on Yaochi." Yang Xiyi added.

"When it comes to underground tunnel warfare, these armored moles are experts!" Yu Lian frowned.

Yang Xiyi nodded slightly: "However, they were not transferred here. It is said that they were all wiped out when they were gathering in the mainland."

Yu Lian felt as if he had heard this somewhere before, and was slightly startled. It took him three seconds to get some information from a certain groove in his cerebral cortex... He vaguely remembered that when Commodore Bazin led a squadron through the Far Shore Nebula and entered the Empire's sphere of influence to play a game of breaking the battle, he reported something similar.

"So, this has something to do with you?"

"This can only be called fate, it's amazing. There is obviously no connection, but they can cooperate with each other across two million light years. This can only show that the fighting spirit of workers is always similar." Yu Lian said.

The above information was learned by Yao Chi from the imperial prisoners.

As for the Yang Fleet, when they officially contacted Yaochi, it was actually December 833. Two weeks had passed since the end of the war on November 12.

At that time, Yang's fleet was resting in the sixth planet of the DL282 star system. The planet looked like an ordinary barren planet. Although it was an earth-like planet with a stable crust, it had very low oxygen and water content, and no living organisms. The Imperial Fleet cruised past this star system several times, but found nothing.

However, the surface of the planet DL302-6 is covered with rugged mountains and rocky valleys. At first glance, the entire planet looks like it is covered by a gray-brown cerebral cortex.

However, within those rocky valleys, there are always entrances and exits leading to underground caves within the planet.

This strange planet contains hundreds of underground caves. The space of a cave is large enough to accommodate a complete ecological chain and even breed a civilization. There is a considerable reserve of groundwater in the cave, and elementary fungi and algae similar to lichens have evolved. Above the cave, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of meters of thick rock layers covering it. It is impossible to find any clues about the interior of the planet just by scanning from space.

In the space age, this planet was a natural refuge. Its detailed information was captured by the Yang Fleet from a certain Myshandar troll captain during the Judgment War. The existence of this planet was a little secret of that troll warlord, and the Great Khan was unaware of it. Now it has become a little secret of the people on Earth.

This can explain two problems: First, the universal empire of multi-racial equality that Great Khan Tomiteli wanted to establish was actually not as united as imagined. The trolls and the long-bearded demon warlords were always secretly on guard against her, the Great Khan of the Ero people. Second, in the war of judgment, the alliance between the community and the empire was not sincere from the beginning.

However, most of the international alliances were not sincere, which was understandable. The Empire's fleet tightened its pockets on all sides, thinking that it had pushed the Yang fleet into a desperate situation, but found that the latter had disappeared. This was actually because the latter was playing hide-and-seek in an underground cave in "Wartheim".

The official name of this planet is "Vartheim", named after the country where the dwarves live in one of the nine worlds in Norse mythology. Of course, this name has not yet been included in the standard star map of the Standard Shipping Association.

“But in Norse mythology, the world of dwarves is not one that lives underground. All dwarves who dig holes underground are secondary creations influenced by the League’s popular culture,” said Yu Lian.

"I know, my major is history! No one understands the classical mythology of the mother planet's era better than me. But, after all, it's a period of exploration, and this kind of atmosphere is what we need." Yang Xiyi glared at Yu Lian, as if to say, "If you are going to argue over such details, I'll get angry with you."

To be honest, Teacher Yang has always been portrayed as a celebrity who is as calm as a chrysanthemum, except when Yu Lian is arguing with him.

In short, after Yao Chi, it was Onotia, and now it is Watheim. The Dawn Star Region is really becoming more and more filled with gods and Buddhas, and there is no working people at all.

"Thanks to the diversity of the Dawn Nebula and the mercy of the Enlightened Ones, we can find surprises in every galaxy." Yang Xiyi shrugged: "I really plan to build Watheim into our guerrilla base."

"But... in guerrilla warfare, having a stable base is not necessarily a good thing." Yu Lian couldn't help but pour cold water on him. No matter how hidden a hiding place is, it has its limits. If Yang's fleet always loses its trace nearby, even if the imperial army thinks on their knees, they will always find the problem. At that time, the empire can search the surrounding star systems and even bring the top star officers.

A ten-thousand-meter-thick layer of solid rock may not be able to withstand the most sophisticated technological detection methods, let alone psychic means.

"Of course I understand that. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. We can't be worse than Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest. However, although the Dawn Nebula is large, it is still difficult to find a stronghold that can serve as a hiding place under the oppression of the empire. So far, I have only found two places." Yang Xiyi said.

One of them is naturally the planet of Watheim. The other is more traditional, which is the asteroid belt located in the DL218 system.

The reason why it is called traditional is that pirates from all over the universe like to establish bases in places like asteroid belts and dwarf planets. In a sense, what Yang's fleet is doing now is like pirates.

This is almost the most dense and complex asteroid belt Yang Xiyi has ever known. The huge ice crystals and rocks have turned into a secret starry sky maze, and also formed a chaotic magnetic field area that can almost block all existing detection methods. Hundreds of dwarf planets are hiding in this starry sky maze. If one or two are hollowed out, a natural space base can be formed.

It just so happened that the plunderers had actually dug three bases here before. This was the work of a certain long-bearded demon chief, and it was also a private job that was unknown to the Queen of the Ero people.

...Yu Lian suddenly felt a little sympathy for Great Khan Tomitaili.

In another timeline, she did not have a grand strategy to enter the New World, but she did play a role in the turbulent times. She was the Great Khan for nearly half a century until she was destroyed by the Galactic Empire 860 years later.

In the final battle, the Ero, trolls and longbearded demons sang songs of freedom and died side by side. It was a tragic scene. Although Queen Tomiteli was defeated and died at that time, everyone still admired her courage and leadership, and envied the scene of the various races under her command fighting side by side against the same enemy.

But what is going on in this timeline? The faster he jumps, the faster he draws the list. And after careful consideration, it seems that all his subordinates are traitors.

Yu Lian now felt that even if he did not cause trouble, this multi-racial and equal plundering empire would surely be destroyed by civil strife.

It turns out that being able to share adversity but not wealth is a standard flaw of all major civilized races in this generation, right? What a sad scene!

Speaking of which, up to now, there is still no trace of Great Khan Tomitaili, either alive or dead. No one knows whether he is living a restless life or passing away in a restless way.

Anyway, back to the point, this asteroid belt is very suitable for hiding and guerrilla warfare. If it weren't for the fact that it's impossible to farm, mining and building factories would definitely attract pursuers, and at most they could only replenish some fresh water. In fact, they are more suitable for being Yang's fleet's secret base than Valheim.

Therefore, Yang Xiyi named this asteroid belt "Liangshan". This finally has a bit of the flavor of the lower class working people.

As guerrilla warfare bases for the Dawn Nebula, both of these options are very good.

"Then, what if we add the eighth star gate?" Yu Lian asked with some anticipation.

"Then thank you, and congratulate me, for finally reaching the average level of rabbits." Yang Xiyi smiled with relief: "The universe is huge, and searching the mountains and seas requires a lot of resources. Every time we add a place to play hide-and-seek, the cost of the empire will increase exponentially. What's more, the Enlightener Star Gate is not only a cave, but also a retreat. If everything goes well, we can find a chance to bring Michelle and the others back. Although they may not want to leave."

"… Michel stayed in Waltheim?"

"Not only him, but also 10,000 pioneers from Onotia, plus a brigade of marines. Michel thinks that the underground caves of Watheim are equivalent to islands with rich resources, so it's okay not to use them. He thinks it can be used as a simple logistics base, and if he's lucky, he might be able to build a second Marshal Li's Grad."

Yu Lian was still just surprised and not at all shocked. He had said many times that among the 830th class, the ones with the most political family characteristics were Rozes and Michel. The other guys would definitely become famous generals in history, and these two would be able to become generals and ministers.

However, the ambition of building another Marshal Li's Grad in Watheim really made Yu Lian astonished.

"Come to think of it, Yaochi also has huge natural caves like Watheim." Yu Lian pondered, "I still remember that in the defense plan Simon sent me, there was an opportunity to open a branch city in a nearby cave."

"Indeed. However, Yaochi also has deep seas, high mountains, vast grasslands, dense forests and deserts, and all kinds of terrains. I always feel that the holy planet is clearly a geographical museum created by the Enlightened Ones." Yang Xiyi said.

Therefore, the 38th Division took advantage of the underground veins of the cave to build tunnels that extended in all directions and prepared a forward base for the general offensive.

Then, there was the full-scale offensive on November 11. The former wiped out the Shanbei camp and killed two imperial generals at one time.

However, almost at the same moment, in the distant ring of miracles, another form appeared.

"The Imperial Army launched a full-scale offensive on this day. The death of Lieutenant General Sindha Sayo has been confirmed. Major General Watt Lar lowered his arms with the surrounded remnants." Yang Xiyi spoke the bad news in a calm tone.

Although Yu Lian had already expected this, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

"The silver lining is that Brother Lal is still alive. Maybe there is still hope."

Yang Xiyi agreed: "And it's not all bad news for the Ring of Miracles."
