Chapter 1786 Surrender and Retirement

Yu Lian pressed his temple and frowned: "Isn't this too fast?"

"It's not that fast. It took Count Lamut more than a week to evaluate these coalition forces."

"Damn it, the Green-haired Turtle is just lame! You can't count on the Green-haired Turtle to awaken no matter what you do these days." Yu Lian couldn't help but slam the table.

"Strictly speaking, most Circassians have warm-toned manes, which turn white as they age. Green-haired turtles are probably manifestations of calcium deficiency." Feifei made a careful assessment and added, "Besides, their manes are at least much longer than the main force of the Ring of Miracles' expedition fleet."

I can’t believe that the expeditionary fleet of the Ring of Miracles would be humiliated again a year after being completely annihilated!
"That means I have no right to laugh at them. Is that what you mean?"

Feifei nodded seriously.

"You're worrying too much, Adjutant Fei. I can't even laugh now even if I want to." Yu Lian sighed, and then laughed frankly, almost laughing to the point of tears.

To be honest, when he first learned that the various military leaders of the Circe Kingdom were preparing to unite and pledge their loyalty to their country, he was more or less expectant.

After all, Circe is also a medium-sized military power. In terms of population, national strength, and paper combat power, it can definitely sit in the second or third row in the Galactic Civilization Council.

The development potential of this race is actually quite good.

Although the absolute area of ​​the territory is not large, there are still many planets that can be developed and inhabited. The Circe people look like self-supporting alligator turtles, but the race itself also has the buff attribute of being strong and adaptable, and their adaptability to new planetary environments is much better than that of humans. This means that their efficiency in utilizing planets should be higher than that of humans, and the available land is naturally higher than that of Yu Lian.

The Circassians are big and strong, with thick limbs and only four fingers. They are not good at fine processing, but they are tough and resistant to attack. One or two beaker explosions will not hurt their skin. When it comes to scientific research and production, they are very forward-looking and developmental, and they pay attention to the strength of the bricks. As a result, they have really rubbed out a lot of good things.

In another timeline, the snapping turtles of Circe successfully developed the technology tree of "self-produced dreadnoughts", making them the third country in the universe to unlock this achievement besides the two poles.

At that time, the Blue Star Community was divided into several small countries, but the Kingdom of Circe was still alive and well. Their hatred with the Grand Duchy of Haiyal, which was supported by the Empire, was long-lasting and was estimated to last for several more centuries, but after all, they were still alive and well, and lived out great united front value.

But on this timeline, the beginning of fate is so regrettable.

King Brunhild of Suluka captured the capital of Circassia, Katun, by surprise, forcing them to open their borders and the main waterway that runs through their territory, and also forced most of the Circassian Imperial Guard fleet to surrender. However, this does not mean that this simple and strong nation really has no combat capability.

The local powerful groups in the major military regions may not want to kneel down and submit so early, or they may have been rebelling against the empire for many years but have not come to their senses yet, or they may want to demonstrate the value of united front work. In any case, they have indeed responded to the call, gathered a considerable force, and prepared to advance towards Katun.

There were probably no Eighteen Princes, but there were ten high-ranking generals who had expressed their determination to drive out the invaders and liberate the country. Three of them were particularly radical and even shouted slogans such as "Kill the Imperial Devils" and "Fight the Evil Dragons to the Death" during the live broadcast, looking like generous and passionate patriots.

Feifei said that these people had already bought properties in the alliance, and their entire families had moved there and even become naturalized citizens, but Yu Lian thought that was not the point. We cannot casually doubt a soldier's patriotism.

In short, the combined forces of the various military leaders numbered more than a thousand large and small warships. Of course, there were no dreadnoughts, but the number of battlecruisers and aircraft carriers reached double digits.

Anyway, there must be much more troops than the Empire has entering the Circe Kingdom.

Of course, compared to the Empire's army confronting the Alliance in the Femo Nebula, the strength of these Circe fleets is actually not worth mentioning. But as I said before, the loyalty of the soldiers to the country must not be doubted. If they can recapture Katun before the Empire reacts, the international situation will be greatly different, and of course, the supply line and return route of the Brunhilde fleet that has penetrated deep into the Community will be cut off.

In this way, the "Circassian United Army for National Salvation" was formed, and it was May 5th.

Yu Lian was still looking forward to their actions. Even if they couldn't recapture Katun, they could at least threaten the empire's supply lines, which should slow down Brunhilde's advance.

perhaps……

To be honest, General Circe's national salvation operation was actually very effective. The Joint Forces Headquarters was established on the 25th, but the fleet was mobilized just as June began.

Fleets from various major military regions set out one after another, heading towards Katun, advancing in unison and suppressing the enemy from all directions.

This gives me a sense of déjà vu.

This may be because the National Salvation Army really lacks a leader whose words have final say.

Speaking of which, Marshal Urodi, one of the potential leaders and a very influential person in the military circles of the Kingdom of Circassia, did not join the coalition army, but instead prepared to carry out military and political reforms in his own area, as if he was really preparing to split the land and become a local emperor to manage his own territory. Because of this operation, Marshal Urodi was also criticized by the public as a traitor, and his prestige was greatly damaged.

Of course, this does not mean that these Circassian warlords are really fools. They are certainly aware of the dangers of being defeated one by one. The so-called "moving forward together" is also temporary.

According to the original plan, most of the fleets should meet at a certain transportation route system some distance away from the capital. In this way, they can not only "go east" to retake the capital, but also "go south" to retake Chelo. Even if the war is not going well, they can overlook King Suliuka's supply line from a high position.

As for who should be in charge of commanding the entire army once everyone unites, well, this is a tactical issue that can be slowly discussed and resolved.

For a group of military leaders who have too much independence, this may be the best solution?

If the Barbarossa, accompanied by a small number of high-speed warships, had not suddenly rushed out and launched an active attack, everything would have been perfect.

Before the coalition forces completed their turn, the red dreadnoughts burned in front of every Circumcision fleet like a raging flame.

In just two weeks, Vice Admiral Giafir, Countess of Granchar, won seven battles in a row, sinking and capturing nine battlecruisers and seven aircraft carriers, as well as more than 200 other warships of various sizes.

Judging from the absolute numbers, it should be equivalent to less than a quarter of the strength of the "United National Salvation Army", but considering that there is a marshal, three admirals and three-digit generals on the casualty list, the development of the war situation is enough to take shape in the minds of most people.

The morale of these Circassian officers and soldiers was not high to begin with, and when the most radical leaders were targeted and eliminated, they could only choose the most realistic approach.

At this time, anyone who can still flee to the base in the outer star zone is considered to be very patriotic.

After two weeks of fighting, Giafil successfully eliminated the threat of the Circe Regional Military District to Katun and her own supply lines. She successfully proved to the entire universe that she was not only a talented psychic, the well-deserved leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Astral Knights (Youth Group), but also a talented general.

She is a woman who can become the pillar of the Empire. Regarding this battle report, Yu Lian could only sigh that she was worthy of being called the "Scarlet Comet". As Brunhilde's right-hand man, the red-haired knight lady had this skill. However, he did not expect that this girl would awaken so quickly.

"Now I know that the tactic that Brin and her sisters are best at and like the most is to use their bravery and high-performance warships to attack! As long as they can knock out the command level before the opponent reacts, they can then slowly harvest the enemy's heads."

It has the style of a general family in the late Ming Dynasty.

Feifei smiled and said, "Isn't this the so-called military situation? "Zhu Tu" is just a neutral word, but knowing where to Zhu Tu is the difference between the courage of a famous general and the courage of an ordinary man."

Yes, this is also the difference between "generals in the late Ming Dynasty" and "famous generals".

"In fact, most of the coalition's fleet has been defeated. This is also a disguised way of breaking up the whole into smaller units." Feifei said, "From now on, the security war in the Kingdom of Circe will definitely consume a lot of the Empire's energy."

Yu Lian nodded: "You are right, but the Empire does not have to worry about the supply lines."

Feifei sighed, "What a tragedy. However, whether the Empire wants to turn Circe into a satellite state or annex it directly, it must deal with the public security issue. Under this circumstance, the red-haired girl under Brin should not have the energy to cause trouble for Marshal Urodi."

Yu Lian thought of the general Cherk who had studied the recipe of "Bombing the Sky" with him on Luyuan Star. In another timeline, he was a hawkish man who became Cherk's deputy prime minister and defense minister, and a staunch patriot and anti-imperialist. But in this play, he seemed to have become a dog who was criticized for guarding the house.

"I heard that Old Tan is now working as a consultant in his shogunate?" Yu Lianqi asked.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Yes, it was Mr. Tan who persuaded us not to join the 'coalition'." Feifei said, "Urodi has already invited most of the primary elements in the Circe Kingdom to his territory while keeping his troops inactive."

"…Are you really going to concentrate on farming?"

"Yes. The tentacles of Katun's royal family and the great nobles can no longer reach out, so we can really do something practical for our fellow countrymen. As long as we can guard the pass and maintain restraint, we can buy us enough time. Hahahaha, we are very good at being cowards."

Yu Lian looked at Feifei, as if he had no idea how to express himself.

"Of course, this was said by Marshal Urodi, and relayed by Mr. Tan. I don't know whether there was any exaggeration in it." Feifei spread her hands.

"No, that's exactly what that person could say. In fact, Lao Tan should have deleted some of the discordant words."

This was probably the only good news in this Cherk campaign. Yu Lian was actually quite interested in Marshal Urodi's farming activities. He really wanted to see how "Original" would work in another social environment that was completely different from that of humans. This would definitely become a valuable experience for himself and all revolutionaries in the universe.

However, whether it is Marshal Urodi or myself now, we are just survivors after all. No matter how valuable the revolutionary experience is, it can only be used after we survive.

Yu Lian decided to put aside the fate of the Circumcision people, the safety of the Outer Fleet, and the future of the Earth for the time being.

"According to the original plan, move in the direction of New Sevilla."

"I see." Feifei saluted: "Also, I just received the fifth letter... I guess you don't want to hear it, right?"

"As a soldier, my mind is in a mess right now. I have done my best to keep a clear head and command the fleet. Don't let anything disturb my mind now."

"Understood." Feifei obeyed but did not leave immediately: "However, after arriving in New Seville, would you like to take some time to meet everyone?"

Yu Lian was slightly startled.

Feifei said, "We should still meet Yu'er, at least we should make a video call and meet them in person. You said they were not born to go with us. Even if we can't protect them now, we must explain it to them clearly."

This time, Yu Lian's silence did not last too long. He nodded sincerely: "You are right."

"I'll let them know when I'll be online."

"No, let's land. We don't lack this little time."

On June 6, the Reminder finally entered the New Seville Galaxy. More than three years later, Yu Lian once again returned to the place where he had fought and worked.

To him, this galaxy with two inhabited planets really had a different meaning. So, at this moment, he actually felt a little homesick.

Three years had passed, and Fengcheng had doubled in size since Yu Lian left last time. There were already several buildings over 100 meters high, and it looked like a modern city. The light rails in the air extended from the city and the core to all directions, connecting almost all the settlements of the Lumina people.

Yu Lian also knew that deep in the dense forests north of the mountains, a new city was rising on the site of the ancient capital of the Rumina people.

At present, the number of Lumina people who have officially obtained the citizenship of the Blue Star Community has already exceeded 200 million, which is more than half of the Lumina race that can be counted.

If he had time, he really wanted to spend some time walking around this planet.

In the city hall of Maple City, Yu Lian met the leaders of the two planets, including Mr. Alfonso, the governor of New Sevilla - he is also Lilia's father, the commander of the Marine Militia and the Guard, Mr. Ruge, the old director of the Red Maple Factory, and of course representatives of the major tribes of Lumina.

Faced with the complicated looks from these elders and fellow villagers, Yu Lian didn't know what he should say for a moment.

However, before he could speak, Mr. Alfonso asked, "Has the fleet reached Shanhaiguan?"

After receiving a positive answer, he smiled brightly: "Then I am relieved and can surrender with peace of mind."

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene seemed a bit tense, the old man said unhappily, "My unfilial daughter, 10 million strong young people were relocated from New Seville, and all the veterans of the gendarmerie and the famous regiment were also taken away. I am the only old man left. The whole planet is full of old, weak and sick people. Shouldn't we surrender?"

"Yes, yes. The technical backbones of the factory have also been taken away by our young lady mayor. From today on, the Red Maple Factory can finally stop production! I can finally retire." Old Director Ruger grinned and laughed, as if he was really looking forward to a pension and a wonderful life with grandchildren.
