Predatory map of ominous birds

According to the orders of His Excellency Marshal Rohenkram, the fleet deployed under his command to resist the big offensive of the Allied Forces was dispatched to several galaxies located in the exit corridor of the Iserlohn Fortress Empire to collect local supplies, especially food. in the activities.

Under his command, the fleet of First-Class Admiral Fafnir also took charge of the fortification and clearing operations in the two galaxies of Xiangtao and Trabaja, "Remember! Robbery activities must be organized and disciplined! The chaos of women All activities are prohibited! If you want to be shot by the marshal, you can't control your **!"

"The Fafnir fleet carried out a complete robbery in Xiangtao and Trabaja!" This report was quickly placed on Reinhardt's desk.When Reinhardt was about to issue a disciplinary order, he was stopped by the prosthetic eye's staff officer, Colonel Oberstein, "Lord Royankram, please don't issue this order. Because Lord Fafnir won't listen at all .his conduct has the legal status conferred by Your Excellency."

"Then! I'm going to watch this scoundrel rob in my name! Well, Oberstein! I won't issue harsh orders, but I can send gendarmes to picket!"

As in the past, the gendarmes sent by Marshal Royankram in the name of the Imperial Gendarmerie Command were put under house arrest by Fafnir in the fleet.The organized and orderly robbery on the ground is still going on, and interestingly, it is faster and more powerful than the fleet commanded by the generals in the marshal's mansion of Marshal Royankram to execute orders...

While the Mecklinger fleet was still carrying out the confiscation operation step by step, Fafnir had already completed the "robbery" mission of the two galaxies, put aside the resentment of the civilians on the ground, and escorted the evacuated nobles to leave. the planet's surface.

"Rudolph, do you think the Golden Retriever's strategy will succeed? I don't think it's reliable." Lieutenant General Shutkehaojian said.

Fafnir gnawed at the fresh fruit just delivered from the refitted space feeding ship and said, "As long as your mathematics is a primary school graduate, you can know. The transport ship of the alliance is more than 400 meters long, and the cross section is A square, that is to say, is close to 400 meters in height and width, so the volume is less than 9000 million cubic meters. If we remove the propulsion system, outer armor, control system, etc., there is still at least 520 million cubic meters of volume to store Material. The weight of flour per cubic meter is about 520 kilograms. After removing the space and shelf volume when stacking, there are at least 40 million cubic meters of flour that can be placed. 3000 multiplied by 6000 million is [-] billion kilograms. The conversion is one A little more than [-] million tons. The alliance has [-] million soldiers, and the number of empty-belly civilians we expect to throw at them is about [-] million. Even if there is no grain in the alliance fleet, it only takes A standard transport ship, it is not necessarily true that everyone has to eat a ton of food every day? So this strategy was based on the failure of primary school mathematics and normal appetite..."

"The halo of brain damage is indeed infinitely powerful." Fafnir thought in his heart after saying the above words.

In the first month, all the officers and men of the Allied Space Fleet's Imperial Field Expeditionary Force made friends with the excitement surrounding them, but this pleasant friendship quickly cooled down, and all that was left was a disappointment. Mood and restlessness and anxiety.The officers asked where there were no soldiers, and the soldiers asked where there were no officers, and each had the same question—why the enemy was never seen?

With the Tenth Fleet of Admiral Woolanf as the vanguard, the Allied Forces invaded the territory of the Empire five hundred light years away.More than 5000 star systems have fallen into the hands of the Allies, of which [-] are low-developed but inhabited by humans.There are a total of [-] million people.The governors, frontier earls, tax collectors, soldiers, etc. who had ruled them all fled, and were taken, so to speak, without any resistance.

"We are the People's Liberation Army!"

The Xuanfu officer of the Allied Army said this to the farmers and absentees who were left on these planets.

"We will bring you freedom and equality, and you will no longer have to suffer from the tyranny of communism. We will give you various political rights, and you will start a new life as free citizens!"

However, to their great disappointment, after what they thought was an exciting speech, what greeted them was not the warm cheers and applause they had imagined.As if turning a deaf ear to the boring and enthusiastic words of the Xuanfu officer, the farmer representative said: "Before any political rights, I hope that we can be given the right to live first! There is no food, not even milk powder for babies. Taken away. So may I give us bread and milk before liberty and equality?"

"of course."

To this request without any ideals, the Xuanfu officer endured the disappointment in his heart and answered.They are the People's Liberation Army after all.It is as much a part of their sacred duty as fighting to give security to the poor people who have broken free from the heavy shackles of the empire.

In addition to supplying food from the supply departments of the fleets, they also made the following requests to Iserlohn's headquarters—5000 days' worth of food for [-] million people, more than [-] kinds of edible plant seeds, and artificial protein. Forty manufacturing plants, sixty hydroponic equipment, and ships to transport all the above resources.

"Our chance has come!" People cheered in the distant logistics headquarters and general staff of the Heinesen Alliance, as well as in the forward supply headquarters of Fortress Iserlohn.

During the century-long war, the Allied Army has accumulated countless holes and black tents, most of which are materials that must be on the books but not in fact and some things that have been divided up. Budget, so with regard to logistics materials and losses, sometimes more and sometimes less are reported, and there has never been a situation where the books can be consistent with reality.

Now there is a huge opportunity falling in front of the logistics department and the general staff. They finally have the opportunity to write off all the loopholes and holes of the past century in one go, and only need a small "mistake".They have a chance...

"To completely rescue the residents of the liberated areas from starvation, at least this much resource is required. As the liberated areas gradually expand, this value will also expand accordingly!"

Seeing the request letter with such annotations attached, Major General Kaguerun, who is the chief staff officer at the rear of the expeditionary force, couldn't help but smile happily.

As far as the 5000-day food for 50 million people is concerned, the grain alone is as high as [-] billion tons.Five hundred one-thousand-ton delivery ships are required.First of all, this has greatly exceeded the grain production and storage capacity of Fortress Iserlohn.

"By the way, do we have such a small transport ship? And the guys behind really dare to write off the account! It is 50 billion tons in one breath... You know, feeding a country with a population of 14 billion in the AD era is only [-] million tons of food. Enough..." Major General Kaguerun said solemnly. "It's just right, fill in the gaps in the battleships we have accumulated here. The gaps in mine are about a thousand destroyers, and they will be added to the establishment of the transport fleet."

A Confederate officer who had a good relationship with the bad guys of the empire in Feisha hurried out, and soon a telegram was placed on the desk of Lieutenant General Shutkehaojian.

"Your Excellency Fafnir, this is the information from over there."

"Oh, the transportation plan. By the way, did we give them the strategic plan here? What price did they offer?"

"One hundred million Reichsmarks, Your Excellency."

"Oh, among the senior officers, those who know about this matter will get a share. Also, find a reason to hand over this transportation plan to Jin Mao. We also have to do our duty as a member of the Imperial Army."

In Henessen, the capital of the Free Planet Alliance, a fierce debate is being waged between the two factions regarding the large-scale material request from the expeditionary force.It's just that both sides of the debate are either well aware of the shady scene and don't consider the rationality, or they are guys who haven't graduated from elementary school.

The pro faction advocated that the original purpose of the expedition was to liberate the people of the empire under the pressure of the imperial regime.Humanely relieving the starvation of 5000 million people is also a matter of course.In addition, after they received relief from our army, coupled with their aversion to the imperial government, the hearts of the people will inevitably lean towards the alliance.Regardless of military reasons or political significance, the requirements of the expeditionary force should be met to provide food for the residents of the occupied areas, etc... .

Some people also raised counterarguments-the original expedition was a reckless move.Even if it was originally estimated, the funding would be as high as 2000 billion yuan, which is [-]% of the national budget for this year, equivalent to more than [-]% of the military budget.Even so, it is certain that the actual financial expenditure will greatly exceed the original budget. In addition, it is necessary to ensure the food supply of the residents in the occupied areas, and the financial loopholes will be visible everywhere.So now is the time to suspend the expedition, abandon the occupied territories, and return to Iserlohn.As long as Iserlohn can be secured, it will be enough to stop the empire from aggression...

Some people think that this kind of debate will continue without end, but—"Give our generals a chance to die in battle! If you don't do anything like this, you will only starve to death in disgrace."

This report from Iserlohn should be said to be a scream of distress——it sorted out the situation.After finally collecting the requested supplies and starting to deliver them, an additional request almost equal to the last time was sent again.The occupied area has expanded, and the population of the occupied area has exceeded [-] million.Of course, the amount of necessary supplies also had to increase....

This time even the supporters were terrified.

The opposition said: "Look at this, won't it be endless in the future? 5000 million will become [-] million. In the future, it will probably change from [-] million to [-] million? The empire just wants to destroy the finances of our alliance, so it is confused The government and the military for their tactics cannot escape responsibility! Now there is no other way. Withdraw!"

"The empire uses innocent people as weapons to counter our army's attack. Although it is a despicable method, since our army is in the name of liberation and relief, we have to admit that this is a very effective strategy. It is time to withdraw troops Otherwise, our army will stagger forward with the hungry people, and will be completely defeated by the enemy's general counterattack when it is exhausted."

Chairman of the Finance Committee Gian Ribero spoke at the Supreme Council.

Those in favor of sending troops had nothing to say, and sat silently in their seats.

Mrs. Windsor, the chairman of the Information and Communications Committee, stared at the cold computer monitor screen with no image on her face.

Now there is no other way but to withdraw troops, which Mrs. Windsor understands very well.What has been spent so far has been spent, and if there are other expenditures, the finances will not be able to support it.

However, if the troops were withdrawn without any results, she would be unable to take a stand against those who supported the dispatch.Needless to say, the initial opposition, even the main fighters who support her will hold her politically accountable.And the throne of the chairman of the Supreme Council, which she has been pursuing since she aspired to become a politician, will also be far away from her.

What the hell are those incompetent guys at the Expeditionary Command headquarters doing!The gnashing of teeth drove Mrs. Windsor, she clenched her hands, and her beautifully painted nails almost penetrated into her palms.

Withdrawal of troops is a last resort, but before that, only one is enough, as long as there is a military victory against the imperial army.In this way, her face will stand up, and future generations will not criticize this expedition as a symbol of folly and waste...

She looked at the old Councilor - the dull, indifferent old man who occupied the highest position of power.

This head of state who was ridiculed as "unelected" is a politician who has become a transitional role under the low-level game of the interaction of various political forces, and finally gained the benefits of the fisherman.It was his mention of the next election that made us follow along - she hated the speaker in her heart for getting her into trouble.

On the other hand, Treunisit, Chairman of the Defense Council, was content with his foresight.

Already knew this was going to happen.It is impossible to successfully invade the empire with the current national strength and combat power.In the not-too-distant future, the expeditionary force will fail miserably, and the current regime will lose the support of the citizens.But I will be regarded as a brave and insightful person because I opposed this reckless dispatch of troops.At this time when the country is hurting, it will increase its own worth!Although there are still two competitors, Libero and Hewang, but they do not have the support of the army and the arms industry, and they will eventually ascend to the throne of the Supreme Council Chairperson.

A knowing smile appeared in his heart. The title of "the wisest head of state in the history of the alliance that defeated the empire" should be awarded to him.No one is worthy of this radiant honor except myself...  

As a result, the theory of troop withdrawal was once again rejected.

"Until there are any results on the front lines, there should be no restrictions on the movement of the military."

This is the claim made by the main combat faction in a guilty tone.The so-called "result" is exactly what Trunicit longed for, but the "result" he expected and the main combat faction are two completely different things.

For this result, the military department welcomes it with both hands...

The situation on the front line was much better than the situation passed on to the rear. There was no fierce fighting, and ammunition and energy were relatively sufficient.And the food problem that Luo Yankram and his subordinates had high hopes for—it didn't happen at all... The alliance just used standard transport ships to follow the fleet from the fortress, which was enough to send them enough rations to eat Odin, and there was still room to deal with it. Civilians resupply.

What Logan Klum expected never happened.On this day, first-class general Rudolf von Fafnir entered his Marshal's Palace, and in front of Colonel Oberstein, Shuangbi, Heiqiang, etc., he calculated the numbers...all the people in the Marshal's Palace The faces are very wonderful.

"Actually, you are an idiot, Your Excellency the Marshal." These are the original words of the First-Class Admiral Fafnir who left with a big smile, "It is better to launch a surprise attack quickly, at least now that the enemy has dispersed, we have insiders and troops advantage."

Fafnir doesn't know what's going on in the Marshal's Mansion later, but even if he didn't see it, he can think, "Golden Retriever, I'm a good person. This time I won't make this kind of joke into a joke and tell it in the Imperial Square and the Noble Salon Hahahaha." Fafnir thought so, overjoyed.

Soon, the order was issued.It seems that the fleets to which the marshal belongs have attacked one after another and started to face the previous alliance fleet. "It seems that the golden retriever is really a fool! Don't you understand the concentration of superior forces? Did I hit his IQ too hard?" Fafnir said looking at the attack list.

"Your Excellency Rudolph, which alliance fleet are we facing?" Lieutenant General Shutekhajan, who was cramped with laughter after hearing Fafnir's going to the Marshal's mansion, said with a snotty face.

"Wipe the damn snot! Haha, I can't help but still laugh! It's a pity you didn't see the face of the golden retriever! Alright, let's go directly to the Third Fleet! Shutekhaojian! Order the entire fleet to pull out Anchor! Prepare to annihilate the Third Fleet!" Fafnir stood up and gave Shutekhaojian an order with a wicked smile on his face.

The huge "Rocky" flagship began to emit brilliance, and behind it was a group of battleships like stars. The No. 17 fleet with a total of [-] ships officially began to speed up and prepare to meet the enemy.
