Him and their stars.

Chapter 1753 War is about mastering cruelty
Most officers and soldiers, including Taia, felt that the commander was a bit cowardly, but their old comrades who had served in the 13th Fleet back then operated the equipment as if they were used to it.

When a row of array cabinet-like terminals began to flash, a Miss Enlightenment robot wearing a marshal's dress suddenly grew out from a corner of the room like a mushroom after rain.

So you, the zero-element fairy, really rely on the Internet to move? And you still say you are not a cyber ghost?

"Ahahaha, so this is a dragon boat! Very interesting, very interesting, um, it is indeed interesting."

Yu Lian glanced at Xiao Hui from the corner of his eye. The attitude of this female robot ghost today was questionable. She actually used the word "interesting" three times at once.

He himself was just using this huge dragon boat as a tool to break through the imperial devils' defenses, but judging from the look of it, there was an unexpected surprise?

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Xiao Hui is adding drama to her. Now she is looking at her, and then she starts to circle around her in amazement, like a parrot that has eaten too much moon candy.

"By the way, brother Yu Lian, what kind of look are you in? A human pig?"

After all, there were other subordinates at the scene, so Yu Lian decided to pretend he didn't see anything. After all, he had enough experience in ignoring Xiao Hui. Of course, Fei Fei did the same.

Fortunately, perhaps because some of the functions of the dragon boat interested her very much, she only made a brief noise twice and then disappeared behind the wall of a passage.

Then, two screens popped up on the terminal. They were Admiral Sylvester who was still on the Athena, and Captain Tovey and Chief of Staff Mkawa on the Fuxi.

"What is this, a human pig?" Sylvester underestimated it, but he immediately said, "Is this the time to use my general reserve force?"

"That's exactly the case." Yu Lian said with a smile, "Please use the fortress artillery and cooperate with the reserve fleet under your direct command to maintain our retreat route. Don't let Marshal Ikenroga block our retreat."

"They won't make it in time. It's you who was too fast, brother." Admiral Sylvester said.

Although I know you are praising yourself, I still feel that it is too bad.

Fortunately, before Yu Lian expressed his dissatisfaction, the other party said, "In fact, Marshal Ikenroga's fleet is moving very fast, but it can't keep up with your faster speed! How long has it been? You have already captured the Cruise and severely damaged the Titan... By the way, what happened to the Tirrero's Brave Advance?"

"It's a pity that we failed to sink it, but we won't have to see it for at least a year." Yu Lian said. After all, he was playing a storm with two powerful enemies inside the ship, so he still had some confidence. In fact, if it weren't for the master-level assistant Duke Gary Bian who was always following him, he might really be able to kill the Titan.

Well, let's save the pleasure of destroying a ship single-handedly for later. The battle is not over yet, after all, there are plenty of opportunities. As soon as Yu Lian showed a ferocious smile, he felt that he was still a little perverted, and he really had to restrain himself.

"Hahaha, it only took less than two hours. This is a brilliant feat comparable to King Suliuka's Battle of the Ring of Miracles."

"Less than two hours?" After personally riding the torpedo ship cosplaying as Iron Man, Yu Lian was too lazy to calculate the time. When he was disturbed by the space just now, his senses were dislocated, and he has not yet fully recovered, so he is even more insensitive to the passage of time.

"Yes, it has only been 1 hour and 51 minutes since you gave the order to attack." Feifei reported back: "In addition, we have also made major breakthroughs in other areas..."

"A big breakthrough?"

"Yes, to use your words, a revolutionary breakthrough."

Would I not know whether I had a revolution or not?

Just when Yu Lian was still confused, the girl said seriously: "You didn't hold a sacrificial ceremony before the war."

To her, it seemed that no matter what extraordinary things Yu Lian did, they were all very "creative" and "revolutionary".

The so-called sacrificial ceremony is nothing more than burning dolls? I don't have the patience to do that. I'm already exhausted just thinking about how to smother the old waist of the empire master.

"It's just a feudal ritual of summoning gods passed down from the Empire, and it's only been around for a few hundred years. How did it become a tradition for the entire galaxy? Let's just stop it."

In any case, Yu Lian really couldn't appreciate the activities of burning dolls and performing shaman dances. Moreover, he had personally experienced the events that originated from the rituals, so he had no sense of sacred identity.

However, Admiral Sylvester had a different understanding of this issue: "In front of a truly extraordinary hero, tradition can give way. Because what you create is the tradition of the future. Brother Yu Lian, all the soldiers are cheering for you! They are also willing to die for you, and they also firmly believe that following you, victory is within reach."

The other party was really praising him too much. Even with Yu Lian's current shame, it was a little difficult to accept. In the medical cabin, he wanted to put his head in it. "Sir, this is not allowed!" Yu Lian said.

"What's the point? Victory? Or death?"

Of course, neither is allowed. Yu Lian was about to say this when he heard Feifei whisper, "To die for one person instead of for the country, this is clearly the beginning of warlordism!"

Tai Aze muttered, "Hahaha! It's more than just warlordization, it's simply the advanced stage of warlord cancer."

Yu Lian decided to pretend that he didn't hear it. Anyway, the only one who knew my fault was the Spring and Autumn Annals.

Fortunately, although the senior student was a little overexcited and his mental state seemed worrying, he was an old bureaucrat after all. Even if he was overly excited, he was generally under control. He quickly regained his composure and began to discuss real issues.

"The Imperial fleets on both wings are still advancing steadily? Our blocking efforts were effective, but only effective. It was far worse than I expected. I just received news that the No. 3 Fortress in the outer ring is still resisting, but it has been confirmed that Brigadier General Zuo Wanhu has been killed in the battle."

Yu Lian closed his eyes for less than a second, but opened them again, his eyes still sharp and firm: "Your original estimate was just an optimistic deduction. At least, the Imperial Fleet tried its best but still couldn't suppress the gravity well, so your construction was successful."

He was not trying to comfort anyone. With limited manpower, they were able to drag the Imperial Fleet to its current state. Even though it was because this was indeed an era where the weak were attacked and the strong were defended, Senior Sylvester, who was born with a holy body, had made an indelible contribution.

There was a look of emotion in the senior student's eyes, perhaps he was really comforted.

Chief of Staff Mkawa said: "According to your original plan, the entire fleet will begin to shrink its formation. The cruiser formation will immediately begin the next step of torpedo preparation."

"Very good. Modify the combat plan and have the 7th and 8th cruiser formations standby in the T45 star field. The formation commanders will decide when to launch the torpedo attack. What about the 4th aircraft carrier formation? Can the fighter jets be deployed?"

After receiving a positive response from the other side, Yu Lian immediately ordered: "Then press on, and the remaining two torpedo squadrons will attack immediately."

The commander looked as if he was ready to put all his chips on the line. Although Chief of Staff Mkawa was a little confused, he immediately stood at attention and said, "Understood!"

Of course, Yu Lian believed that an excellent leader must not resort to mysticism unless there was really no way to explain it, so he said, "When I was on the Tirero Yongjin just now, I heard the enemy ship's broadcast, saying that they wanted to recapture the Xunli at all costs. If nothing unexpected happens, the fast fleet under the Xiaolong will be dispatched immediately. Maybe she will also move herself. However, it is a technical job to organize so many warships together in an orderly manner. There are not many opportunities for such a head-on attack."

"Even if the Xiaolong doesn't come, we can still kill the enemy fleet!"

"In the next hour, we will face the most fierce counterattack from the enemy fleet. However, as long as we can repel them temporarily, we will have a brief respite. Our ship should be able to reunite with the Fuxi within three minutes. Let everyone be prepared." Yu Lian said.

Chief of Staff Mkawa naturally nodded and accepted the order.

Admiral Sylvester asked, "What happens after you take a breath?"

Yu Lian also had a brief, almost negligible silence. He moved his eyes, quickly scanning the dynamics of the two armies on the big screen, and then slowly said: "Sir, you and I both know that this victory will not change the overall situation. You have actually been mentally prepared for a long time."

The admiral smiled awkwardly: "This is my problem. I am already old, and I shouldn't still have such childish fantasies."

"I've said it before, you just always maintain an optimistic and positive attitude towards our final victory. In this difficult time, this is the most precious thing." Yu Lian said.

"Thank you for describing the refusal to accept reality in such a refreshing way. Brother, with your eloquence and the emotional value you give to your subordinates and colleagues, you should have become the supreme commander of the entire army long ago." Admiral Sylvester laughed heartily, and the difficulty and depression just now were swept away.

He said in a serious tone: "Brother Yu Lian, is reality always so cruel? Or is it only like this during war?"

"Hope always suddenly shatters and suddenly reappears, especially in war. I don't know whether it is cruel or not, I am used to it anyway, but we have no choice but to control it."

Although Yu Lian was inside the medical cabin of the aircraft, with only his head sticking out, his eyes and tone were unwavering. He was really trying to make everyone believe that everything was under the commander's control.

"Understood! Please give the order."
