Him and their stars.

Chapter 1667 A good news and a bad news

In short, adding a little gossip or a little cosmic ghost story after a heavy topic can play a role in regulating the conversation. This should also be considered a technical means of chatting, right?

No wonder in the previous timeline, more than one person said something like "being with Tan Lang is like drinking fine wine, and getting drunk without realizing it." Although Yu Lian had previously thought that this was to establish the rumor that Tan Jize was a gentle and charming person, the latter is indeed a person with high emotional intelligence, high charm, and good speaking skills.

Afterwards, everyone continued to chat aimlessly, of course, mainly about the universe ghost story of the automatic ghost dreadnought, and the gossip about the various powerful people in the pirate free port city. Yu Lian's boredom was greatly relieved. Although the "psychic class theory" offended him greatly, his resentment towards Tan Jize was not so deep.

Of course, Yu Lian still felt a little unhappy, so he would privately urge his niece Miss Chunjun, whom he had never met, to practice health-preserving techniques and Bajiquan with Comrade Tan Jize.

Yu Lian was not a demon after all. He certainly did not expect that a perfect king's assistant like Tan Jize, who was good at strategy, intelligence and governance, would go into battle and kill people - if there was any area where the latter could not match the Prime Minister Xia Yier of the Flowery Era, it was of course only in combat.

Therefore, as long as those guys grit their teeth and exercise for one or two hours every day to harden their muscles and bones, he will be very satisfied. As the spirit of the universe promised, I am doing this to let Tan Jize live a few more years and make more contributions to the welfare of the people of the galaxy.

He will definitely thank me.

By the time the latter really said goodbye and went offline, Yu Lian's mood naturally calmed down, and he should be able to think calmly about the subsequent issues.

He opened the latest national defense situation star map. On the far shore theater defense line, Marshal Bonaparte controlled the Nantian Gate, which was still the main transit route between the theater and the mainland, and also controlled the theater's general reserve. As the most advanced front of the theater, the total military strength of the empire was still increasing.

At this point, reconnaissance behind enemy lines was almost impossible. Even the Sky Survey Eye that had infiltrated the other side of the Far Shore Nebula was shot down, and the rest could only try to turn back. Of course, even so, there were still two missiles that were too late to return, so they could only silence their communications and begin to lurk.

Looking at the increasing number of black icons representing the Imperial Fleet in the Said Galaxy, even someone as heartless and heartless as Yu Lian felt his scalp tingling. He now really felt like he was waiting for the second boot to drop.

As I said before, the most unbreakable tactic in the world is crushing with hard power.

However, he also believed that there was no tactic in this world that was completely unbreakable.

After discussing with his colleagues at the front and in the rear, they all agreed that the best solution was to do everything possible to inflict the greatest damage to the Empire in a hard battle, so that the galactic nations, mainly the opposing alliance, could see the Empire's weakness. In this way, the injured Dragon Kings could be forced to the negotiation table.

This does have a bit of the flavor of handing your fate over to someone else, but it is actually the only way for small and weak countries to survive.

However, Yu Lian suddenly felt that as a mature commander, he should not only prepare Plan A.

Yang Xiyi said to himself, perhaps he could think about the problem from a higher and broader dimension, but this is a kind of metaphysics no matter how he looks at it, commonly known as "correct nonsense."

So, what is the higher dimension? He is really angry now.

As he was thinking, his eyes moved from Sayde Star towards his homeland.

The reconstruction of the Home Fleet was of course proceeding in an orderly manner, but both the warships and personnel were still a long way from being complete, not to mention compared with the past... Of course, Yu Lian felt that even if the Home Fleet was truly restored to its peak state with six dreadnoughts and twelve battlecruisers, its combat effectiveness would still be questionable.

But no matter what, at least this can be considered a usable reserve team.

His sight finally stopped at the New Atlantis Star Region from the night of the solar system. This is also the border star region of the Blue Star Community, but it has always been a prosperous trade and developed industry. Its GDP is only lower than that of the Terra Star Region. This is probably because the Kingdom of Circe and the Republic of Minlan next to Atlantis are friendly quasi-allies and permanent neutral countries respectively.

  Is the Circassian Kingdom going to rebel?

Yu Lian pondered for a moment and marked the territory of the Kingdom of Circe. Then, the green color, which represented neutrality and friendship, suddenly turned into yellow, which made it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.

But with this operation, more than half of the borders of the Blue Star Community were really surrounded by warm colors such as yellow, orange and red. This scene was really heartwarming, so warm that Yu Lian almost wanted to swear.

"Upwards" is the vast Femor Nebula, the former site of the Ero Empire, now a no-man's land, the site of disputes among warlords and small countries, and the biggest source of all kinds of galactic wars.

The former empire and alliance both wanted to take control of this chaotic yet fertile star field, but found that they were unable to do so. Later, they changed their strategies and wanted to support their own satellite countries here, which led to a series of stories of support and subversion, rise and fall.

The power and strategic balance of the two poles are still balanced, and the Fermor Nebula can only continue to be in chaos.

However, the current situation has changed a little. The war has been going on for nearly a year. Although the Galactic Empire has suffered heavy casualties and has not made any progress, the opposing Alliance has taken the initiative to shrink its forces. This is probably because the internal situation of the latter is not stable.

Yu Lian pondered for a moment, then thoughtfully drew an asterisk at the location of the intelligence station where the donkey hung the flag, and then marked a warning.

He thought about it, then opened the file sent by Tan Jize and superimposed the route of the ice ship expedition he was leading on the star map.

Although they are all dotted lines, when they overlap, the Abyss Nebula, which originally seemed particularly empty, suddenly becomes full.

Is it really a coincidence that the automatic dreadnought appeared near Zizai City on its own initiative?

But even if it was true, what would it do? What impact would it have on our current war situation? His thoughts were interrupted by a communication prompt from the loyal, reliable, capable and astute adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Chester Rozes.

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest. But here are two pieces of news that you must handle personally..."

"Well, usually at this time, if there are really two pieces of news, it should be one good news and one bad news." Yu Lian said.

Considering that Mr. Rosset would not be his adjutant for too long, he was actually a little disappointed.

Ross said: "First of all, the Odin and Athena have arrived at the South Gate of Heaven."

Oh, this is certainly good news. Poor Zeus has been destroyed, and the other three main ships have also been seriously injured. The Titan ship seized from the Empire is still being modified. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the main battleships in the Far Shore War Zone is indeed at its weakest stage.

Now, with these two newly arrived dreadnoughts, the sense of security on the front line should be much stronger.

"In addition, Colonel Fina Li also returned with the ship and is now at Nantianmen."

"Oh, double happiness!" Yu Lian's heart warmed. Feifei had of course told him that she would return home with the Odin.

But when he heard the girl's name again, he suddenly realized that the last time he spoke to the girl was in December last year.

Thinking about it more carefully, he even forgot to call his uncle's family who were still in the alliance to say "Happy New Year".

He suddenly felt a little scared. Once a person is forced into a job with a lot of things to do every day, it is really possible that he will be so busy that he will completely forget all his personal affairs.

"In this way, Luo Zeshi will be notified, and you can be released. To be honest, Davarishi Luo Zeshi, it is really a waste of talent for a talent like you to always be my adjutant." Yu Lian smiled and said, "This is from the perspective of reasonable utilization of human resources, and has nothing to do with my personal feelings."

Rozes nodded seriously, "Yes, during the Judgment War, Colonel Li was your adjutant. And I do have the ambition to lead troops in battle. However, I may be able to help out a little at the Titan maintenance site. This is of course a win-win situation in terms of personnel."

Chester Ross had declined the offer to serve as first officer aboard the new aircraft carrier HMS Enterprise.

Of course, his reasons were very sufficient. Becoming a member of the Enterprise meant serving under Yang's fleet in the New World. However, he felt that the local war situation needed him more and he was more familiar with it.

"In addition, I still think that your personal feelings are also important. If you can maintain a cheerful mood and high morale, you will definitely be able to demonstrate extraordinary courage and leadership, which is good for the entire army!"

"… Mr. Ross, have you noticed that your official skills are becoming more and more sophisticated? Although I know you have potential in this area, if you only progress too fast in this area, you will become greasy one day."

"Then I will strive to maintain the same progress in other aspects. However, a general is the courage of the three armies. What I think and say are all sincere from the bottom of my heart." Rozes said with a smile. His tone became more sincere.

Since the other party showed such sincere feelings, Yu Lian of course accepted it with pleasure.

Of course, considering workplace ethics and social norms, in theory, there shouldn't be any personal relationship between the chief officer and the deputy officer. However, even the dignitaries on Earth would be embarrassed to bring up such a thing.

"So, when is our Lord God going to arrive?"

Luo Zeshi's face showed obvious distress: "The battleship itself is still stranded at Nantianmen and is trying its best to resupply. But Colonel Li and his men are coming to the Saide Fortress."

“…Why do we have to stay here? Our Lord God class ship is not such a useless one.” Yu Lian said.

This greatest dreadnought in history was designed, to some extent, for long-range raids in asymmetric warfare. When I was leading the Fuxi, I fought all the way from the open sea to the Cuiling Fortress.

"The National Defense Committee called and said that the two new God-class ships could be considered for deployment to Earth. This would be very useful for rebuilding the domestic fleet."

Yu Lian didn’t know what his expression was at the moment, but the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became depressing, making the expression of Rosse opposite him extremely serious.

"Marshal Bonaparte is negotiating with the Earth. These two god-class ships can only be maintained in the Gibraltar Fortress for the time being." said Ross.

"...What a classic setting. Mr. Luo Zeshi, this is really a good news and a bad news!" Yu Lian said gritting his teeth.

"That's why I didn't want to answer like this at the beginning."
