Chapter 1769: The Japs are also complex
"We must not underestimate him. In fact, to be disrespectful, I personally think that the reason we lost the Reminder in the Third Battle of Sayde was that we underestimated that man." Major General Jaeger Sobek said to the holographic projection of a group of senior generals on the scene.

The so-called "Third Battle of Said" was the official name given to the battle that just ended by the Empire in the official military report. Of course, the two sides had tens of millions of troops confronting each other in this small galaxy for more than half a year, and there were more than a thousand battles and conflicts, but they were all scraps that could not even be included in the official war history.

The highest-ranking officer present was Lieutenant General Midbeshi, who was sturdy and had golden hair like a lion's mane. He was a middle-aged man who looked resolute and powerful. He nodded humbly.
"Major General Sobek, I heard that before the third battle began, you actually wrote a letter to the marshal, hoping that he would put all his combat power into the battlefield?"

Jaeger Sobek nodded seriously.

"Not leaving a reserve force is a bit counterintuitive," said the lieutenant general, sounding neither a compliment nor a question, as if he was just repeating an objective fact.

"It's indeed against common sense, but it's because we stick too much to common sense that we suffer so many losses!" Sobaek said stiffly.

This statement really goes against common sense, but everyone actually thought it made sense and nodded.

The lieutenant general also thought it made sense, but he asked again, "Aren't you worried that you won't be able to deploy your troops?"

"This is indeed a problem, but the formation will be tight, and the airtight firepower interception will form the most solid defense line. At least no loopholes will be found, right? The Pilgrimage and the Tirero Yongjin should also be able to be saved, right?" Sobek looked at the silent crowd and quickly shook his hand and said, "Of course, this is just my assumption. It's really hard to say what the real situation is."

The generals looked at each other, fell into deep thought, and then once again showed an expression that said, "What you said makes sense."

"In other words, Commander Sobek, do you think that if we encounter high-level psychics above the level of Saint in the enemy and use the tactic of forced breakthrough, we should use high-power main guns for long-range interception?" asked the chief of staff.

"There is really no other way." Sobaek smiled bitterly.

Lieutenant General Midbeshi sighed sadly, "What a shame! It is obvious that the Empire has the advantage of psychics. It has always been like this, but now, how come it is so easy to attack and defend?"

He certainly didn't want an answer, and no one else could answer it.

Even non-psychics like them knew that if they wanted to deal with the evil dragon, they really had to mobilize multiple saints or even demigods to personally surround and suppress it. Since the "Dawn Dragon" had already proven to be powerful, shouldn't they have deployed a dozen saints and two or three demigods from the beginning?

With the foundation of our great Galactic Empire, which possesses all the sources of mysticism and cosmic spirituality, even though a few big guys have fallen recently, there should be no shortage of various reclusive old monsters and wild geniuses emerging out of nowhere, right?
What do you want to do by always adding oil like this?

However, this was not something that these frontline generals could decide, nor was it something that the Grand Marshal's Office or even the Privy Council could decide. You know, even the Heraldry Academy could not have a list of all the psychics in the empire.

What can these ordinary generals do? They are also desperate!

The lieutenant general said in a sincere and pragmatic tone: "Everyone must remember that in front of the evil dragon that must not even be named, we are all mortals, so we must consider the combat strategies of mortals. Deputy Commander Sobek's tactics may be conservative, but they will definitely work!"

"Yes... We can't defeat saints or demigods, but naval guns can!" said the chief of staff.

After discussing this, everyone felt very sad for a while. How could the mighty Galactic Empire, which always had a psychic advantage, become like this?
But then again, once everyone accepted this setting, they suddenly felt that this feeling of reversing the Tiangang was actually quite intoxicating.

Jaeger Sobek also felt that this kind of working environment should be quite suitable for him.

"Commander Sobek, it is because of this that you think we should mobilize the entire fleet and use firepower to intercept the dragon, right?" asked the chief of staff.

I actually didn't think that deeply. I just thought that it would be better to follow the main force instead of being used as the general reserve to carry out combat pursuit missions, Sobek thought.

Lieutenant General Midbeshi was full of admiration: "...I see, after the failure of the 'Operation Metamorphosis', also known as the Second Battle of Said, Brother Jaeger actually made a judgment on Duke Xia Ming's ability. You don't think that Duke Xia Ming and Admiral Misaro have the ability to stop the blue dragon."

We have been working together for two weeks. I think I haven't offended you. Yeager Sobek looked at Lieutenant General Midbech, who had a face like a fierce general but was obviously a chatterbox, with a blank expression and angry eyes.

"Sir, I never meant that."

"I understand, I understand...Brother, we all understand. Don't worry, everyone here is trustworthy." Lieutenant General Midbeshi wanted to pat Sobek on the shoulder, but when he found out it was a holographic projection, he took it back in disappointment.

In short, as the "heart of hope" of the Imperial Army, "the greatest discovery in ten years", and "the flower of a famous general blooming from the sand of the colony", Major General Jaeger Sobek has successfully predicted that it is impossible for his side to completely wipe out the remaining fleet in Said.

He also predicted that Marshal Ikenloga and King Shazamon would mobilize the fleet to pursue and eliminate the Earthlings through a brutal pursuit like a wolf pack hunting.

He even predicted that all the general reserve forces would not only carry out pursuit missions, but might also be responsible for attacking the strongholds in the Far Shore and New Shenzhou star regions, and even be responsible for attacking the South Heaven Gate from both sides.

The above tasks sounded like they were full of visible glory and military exploits, and must have been the goal that all the young generals of aristocratic origin would compete for. However, Sobaek only felt that they were hard, troublesome and dangerous.

Anyway, he felt that all the missions that were related to Yu Lian were dangerous. So, when the imperial army on Sai De's side thought that the auspicious time had come and they could launch a general attack, he actually took the initiative to apply for the attacking role and put forward his own opinions.

Since we all have to face the "Dawnbreaker" anyway, it's better to stick together instead of dealing with it alone. If we can cling to the thighs of Marshal Ikenroga and the Electors, we should be safe, right?

However, King Shazamon, who served as the Chief of Staff, told him: "The victory of the Galactic Empire requires every soldier to perform his duties conscientiously and do his best. Major General Sobek, you are also a psychic and a star knight. Don't you know that the sharp blade should tear open the enemy's throat and pierce their heart, rather than breaking the armor?"

A sharp blade? Me? What on earth am I worthy of? Sobek was as sad as if he had lost his parents. He felt that the task of winning the war could be left to himself, since there were plenty of comrades who could be reincarnated. It would be hard work, but as long as he was careful, his safety could be guaranteed.

The Sand King, however, was totally unconvinced: "Haha, young man, I can see that you are a humble person, but you also have selfish motives."

Sobek had to admit that this was the truth. Of course, he was a selfish little man, and he really didn't have much sense of responsibility for the glory of His Majesty the Emperor and the future of the Galactic Empire. He just hoped to live safely until the day he was transferred to the Logistics Department.

Her Highness Brunhilde had promised that when the time came for her to have the final say, she would respect his application for the position.

Princess Brunhilde is so beautiful, and you can tell at first glance that she is not a liar.

The Sand King's tone then took on a very obvious malicious tone: "I know that you, the followers who are choosing the emperor, have already started to take your positions. Perhaps you think that if you can preserve some strength, you can increase the chances of winning for the lord you choose?"

Sobaek was stunned and cried out that he was innocent.

He could really swear to the spirit of the universe that he was indeed very loyal to Her Highness Brunhilde, but not to this extent. At most, he regarded Her Highness as his benefactor and follower in his career. But, isn't this normal? Didn't the political scholars of the opposite alliance call our empire a "dual monarchy"? Of course, the duality is not the mascot of the Senate and the bureaucrats of the Prime Minister's Office, but is reflected in the influence of the princes, princes, and local lords on their "disciples and old officials" and "householders".

But, so what? Even if it is the opposite community and alliance, those republican countries, whether parliamentarians or bureaucrats, don’t they always have to find a mountain to pay homage?

How did it become a matter of positioning and involve conserving strength?
Has the empire really developed to that point? This, this, this, this is too unscientific, right?

Sobek began to tremble. He suddenly thought of the "bloody disaster" that Yu Lian had mentioned. However, as an ordinary grassroots general of the empire, he certainly did not dare to ask in detail.

King Sand paid no attention to Sobak's expression, but said earnestly: "All nations and countries have their own original sins. Only willing to obey the strong and fight like a parasite, this is probably the problem engraved in the genes of us Tirrero people, right? But remember, Major General Sobak, you will always be a general of the Empire first, and then a disciple and follower of others. Similarly, it is the same for me. I am the chief of staff of the Said Front and the marshal of the Imperial Space Fleet first, and then others."

Sobek's intuition told him that although this gloomy and arrogant electoral king acted very fierce, he actually did not have much ill will towards him.

"Things haven't come to that point yet! If I find anyone putting personal interests above public interest, I will hang their heads on the top of the Tireroyongjin Castle to dry!" King Shazamon looked at Sobaik meaningfully and ended the conversation.

Although Sobaek really wanted to ask why the ship was not hung on his own flagship, he had no choice but to obey the order.

The above was the order Sobaek received before the Third Battle of Said.

The subsequent development of the war was within everyone's expectations. The imperial army launched a general offensive step by step. Although the losses were not small and the Earthlings on the other side created several classic battle examples that could be passed down to future generations, they did capture Said without any danger.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

However, they eventually let the main force of the enemy escape.

More importantly, the remaining fleet fled, but before turning back, they gave the Empire a big slap in the face. In this case, even the most shameless imperial general could not say that "they were forced to flee by their own side".

Of course, Sobek had to know that even so, the development of the situation was actually within the "worst possibility" prediction of the General Staff.

However, he never expected that the Tirrero's Intrepid was imploded, the Mirriage was captured, and even Admiral Misaro was killed in the battle.

He believed that the Marshal and the King of Sand had not thought of this either. The "worst case scenario" prediction of the General Staff definitely did not include these contents.

At this time, Sobaike's heart was completely filled with admiration and fear. If he was really left to face Yu Lian alone, would he still have the courage to resist?

However, one's destiny is not something that one can completely control. By the time he calmed down a little, he had already entered the second half of the Far Shore Nebula as the deputy commander of a pursuit fleet.

There are five such pursuit fleets in total. Each fleet has at least one dreadnought and several battlecruisers. If it were placed in other star regions, it would have been a fleet that could destroy a country.

Sobaek's commander was Lieutenant General Midbeshi, a powerful general who had just been transferred from the country.

Fortunately, although he looked like a fierce general, he actually got along well with me and respected me very much.

Under the advice of Deputy Commander Sobek, they strictly implemented the schedule set by the Sand King: do not engage in a lingering battle with the enemy in the narrow nebula channel, as long as they continue to pursue the enemy, put the greatest pressure on the enemy, and force it to reach the critical point as soon as possible, then they will be considered to have accomplished the mission.

Lieutenant General Midbeth said that he certainly understood this point.

Major General Jaeger Sobek was shocked to find that there were people in this world who understood orders from their superiors better than he did, and he was even more moved.

However, the situation was different now, as we were about to sail out of the nebula. No matter how much we resisted, we still had to fight the dragon that couldn't even be named.

Vice Admiral Midbeshi warned everyone: "Anyway, you have heard what Commander Sobek said, right? When the launch tubes are officially engaged, the biggest threat to us is not the two exhausted Lord Gods, but the dragon itself."

"Captain Midbeshi is right! Captain Sobak is right too!"

"Use the main gun to stop him!"

"That's right! Thousands of cannons fire at once!"

"However, first we have to determine the other party's position."

"Use dense sublight-speed missiles and torpedoes to intercept him outside the line of fire!"

"That's right! We must kill the enemy without sight!"

"This will at least force him to reveal himself, and then our main guns will be useful."

"If possible, we can even send out all the Titanium Blade fighters under our command to block him. I don't believe that we can't find the target in advance! I believe that the latest single-machine light spear cannon will definitely be better than Dragon Breath!"

"That's right! At least the range must exceed it!"

"Yes, even the ancient dragon species cannot withstand the cannons of the dreadnought."

"In this way, the dragon can be eliminated. Raising a dragon is more expensive than raising a cruiser. A dragon ship is even as expensive as a Titan."

"Great, great! You can all be eliminated!"

"I didn't say that! Don't maliciously change my topic!"

"If possible, we can even focus our fire on the Xunli immediately. This is the safest approach!"

"That's right... That's too much! I find that you are a bit complicated!"
