Him and their stars.

Chapter 1662: Victory and Horatio are a good match

This is how war is. Soldiers on the front line only need to figure out how to kill the enemy and try not to be killed, but the big guys in the rear have a lot to consider.

Logistics, supplies, personnel, production, public security, and the impact of the war system on the entire society, as well as strategic considerations for the entire country and even the entire universe, are all areas that the officials need to devote all their energy to.

Regardless of whether your thoughts can play any positive role, they have thought about it after all, so it is some hard work.

In addition, in addition to planning things, you also have to plan people, which naturally makes things more laborious.

Only when the person is right can the matter be right. Anyway, the more prestigious the boss is, the more he believes this.

It is of course difficult for a frontline commander like Yu Lian to understand the hard work of the people on Earth. He just wants to do the current things one by one.

So, in the past month, although it was busy, it was also simple.

Overall, this month was still in a stalemate phase. The situation at Nantianmen was calm, and the small conflicts on the far shore were more like routine matters. Yulian did not have any urgent battles to deal with, but the overall process was still quite fulfilling.

In the Tianshu galaxy, Yu Lian, his friends and other scientific researchers still haven't figured out the activation rules of the eighth star gate.

Professor Zinov believes that this is still due to insufficient samples.

"You said the same thing before the Yang Fleet arrived."

"Yes, so I regret it. Science is like this, constantly hypothesizing and constantly refuting. The general is a man of general knowledge and reason. He wouldn't not understand this, right?" Professor Zinov didn't even drink a bottle of vodka this time. He smiled and patiently explained, "At present, it seems that the modulus is still too small to summarize the formula if we only rely on the Yang Fleet and the Star Zone Guard Fleet. If you transfer the main fleet of the war zone to go over, maybe it will work."

"Why don't we just lure the Empire over here? If we drill into Poseidon's ship, Titan, Colossus, etc. a few times, we'll succeed faster."

"General, don't worry. I'm just giving you the reasons." Professor Zinov continued to spread his hands: "We still need time to do research. At worst, we can just use exhaustive method."

"...Can exhaustive enumeration be considered research?"

"This is how basic science progresses," Professor Zinov said with such certainty, as if no one understood basic science better than him.

Of course, it is fortunate that the Tower of Babel has no ill will towards anyone. Even if the ships cannot pass through the silver space gate in the center, they will only come out from the other side.

This means that everyone can continue to try and error, and there are indeed updates to the exhaustive execution method.

As long as you are careful not to be discovered by the occasional passing Imperial fleets and probes, there is no danger.

Well, even though the rules of the star gate's opening and closing cannot be summarized for the time being, it does not delay the overall work of the fleet. Everyone's mood is very stable, and some even feel relaxed.

By this calculation, the Tower of Babel is indeed a very willful miracle creation of the Enlightened One, but it is also a very gentle and loving star gate, with no ill will towards everyone, just like the baby car left by the Enlightened One mother for everyone. Although I don’t understand the functions of the buttons on the car, this is all the baby’s problem.

Therefore, some people in Yang Fleet even called the Eighth Star Gate "she".

After twenty days of hiding and lurking, Yang's fleet finally got sufficient supplies and crew members through the Tower of Babel, which was sometimes effective and sometimes not.

The reinforcement fleet that arrived at Tianshu from the South Gate of Heaven, led by Brigadier General Ducas, officially joined Yang's fleet.

So, after three years, Teacher Yang finally returned to his loyal Hyperion.

...Of course, when he was serving in the Outer Fleet, the highest position he held was only deputy chief of staff, which was far from being the owner of this battlecruiser.

However, he didn't know why, but Yu Lian always felt that the Hyperion and Teacher Yang were a good match. As long as he was on the Hyperion, he would be invincible. But once he changed ships, it would be a bit dangerous.

This idea is of course superstitious, but Yu Lian could not help but worry about Teacher Yang's safety before. Now that he has the Hyperion, he feels much more at ease.

Yang Xiyi certainly didn't know that Yu Lian was going crazy again. Compared to the main battleship, the new personnel made Yang Xiyi more relieved. The battle had reached this point, and almost everyone in Yang's fleet had been tempered into a tough man, but after all, there were also seriously injured soldiers who were disabled, and the conditions on the fleet could not make them recover. After all, there were also people whose will and physical strength had reached the limit, which did not mean that they were cowardly, but that everyone's mental endurance had different levels and limits.

Whether out of humanitarianism or based on realistic considerations in building the army, this rotation is indeed necessary.

"I would like to assign those recovered wounded soldiers and veterans who have completed their rest to the major war zones according to their requests. Especially for the Solar System Fleet that is still being rebuilt. If all goes well, these elite veterans can actually greatly enhance the capabilities and organizational strength of the troops." Yu Lian said.

Using the old to guide the new has always been the correct principle in building an army.

"But if things don't go smoothly, they will fall along with the street specimens and veteran soldiers, right?" Yang Xiyi sighed, "There are many examples of heroes falling, and veterans are no exception. The environment on Earth is too comfortable, and many people can't grasp it. It's very suitable for people like me to retire there."

Well, the strong character was softened by alcohol and sex. This has always been a debate about human nature.

"Yes, the atmosphere of the general environment and the discipline of the organization are very important. After all, the Pioneer Party is only a new member of many political parties, and it is not possible to build an organization in the solar system fleet. Therefore, I still want to place them all in New Shenzhou. When the guard fleet is expanded, they will be the on-site instructors and ready-made senior squad leaders." Yu Lian said in a negotiating tone. He assured the Spirit of the Universe that he really hoped to get Teacher Yang's opinion.

However, Yang Xiyi showed a shocked expression: "Why are you asking me about New Shenzhou?"

Mr. Yang's acting skills were indeed average, at least far worse than his own, who had been taught by a great director. His shock was so exaggerated that it was superficial.

"The Terra star region alone, no, the solar system alone gathers nearly 10% of the community's population. The Earth was the focus of the empire's colonial era. The old guard and the compradors still have great say, and the overall environment still needs to be transformed. Most of the people in the New China are pioneers. They may be a little rebellious, but they don't have so many messy ideas in their minds," said Yu Lian.

The latter's shock suddenly showed a hint of emotion, and then turned into an even more exaggerated expression of resistance: "Don't make such outrageous remarks in front of me as a matter of course. I understand now that the more I know, the more difficult it is to pretend to be ignorant. This is very bad for my physical and mental health!"

Yu Lian shrugged regretfully: "Well, let me just tell you something you want to hear. This fleet is the only reinforcement that can be sent to the Far Shore War Zone for quite some time."

"This has far exceeded my most optimistic estimates in the past. Now I am really just grateful and fortunate. As I said, after I confirmed the existence of the star gate, I never worried about the military strength. The only thing I worried about was that the soldiers would lose morale and military spirit after they had a retreat." Yang Xiyi said.

"If it were someone from an academic school who is well-versed in military books, they would rather pretend that the Star Gate does not exist."

"After all, they are gone, and I don't want to say anything bad about them... But I hope they die in peace."

Some "academicians" killed four million elite sailors of the community. This was a functional injury that would take more than ten years to recover from. Yu Lian and Yang Xiyi were so resentful that they were too lazy to show any manners.

This is actually the reason why all members of Yang's fleet stayed in the Tower of Babel for three weeks. Waiting for reinforcements and supplies is one aspect, but rest and reorganization of the personnel is also very important.

Of course, in order to avoid being discovered by the Empire, some of the warships that had completed the supply set off early.

After they left the Tower of Babel galaxy, they even bombarded all the signal beacons and space probes left behind by the empire with drums and gongs, just to show their strength.

This task was naturally carried out by Horatio Wayne who volunteered. He seemed to like doing this kind of thing very much and was also very good at carrying out this kind of task.

In fact, due to his military achievements, he was indeed the first non-psychic among the 830th class to become a colonel. This was the official appointment letter sent by the National Defense Committee.

The National Defense Committee also stated that if it were not for his age and resume, Wayne would definitely be qualified to become a general. Even if he lay down and did nothing now, he would definitely wear the general star before next year.

...Of course, the premise is that you can live until next year.

In addition, Wayne's flagship was changed from the battle-hardened Fletcher III destroyer to the newly launched Xiaguang-class heavy cruiser sent by Nantianmen, which was named "Victory".

Since it was called the Victory, the man named Horatio must be a good match. Colonel Wayne immediately became very motivated.

"Actual combat is the best way to grow and the easiest way for people to discover themselves. I suddenly realized that I am actually quite suitable for this kind of work of luring the enemy and conducting reconnaissance. This will naturally not bring us much attention, but since we dare to play hide-and-seek with the enemy's main force in the New World, we need everyone to perform their duties conscientiously. Don't worry, Yu Lian, I still haven't given up. I will definitely become a marshal before you."
