Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 1090 Accept the reality
It can be said that the extreme situation tribe sent troops to join the war, which can be said to be the biggest turning point of this war, and the situation of the Human Federation has also become extremely dangerous.

In fact, this is also the first time the Human Federation has faced the test of life and death after the Galactic Federation disintegrated.At that time, three factors determined the fate of the Human Federation.One is whether the extreme tribes are going all out to launch an attack, the other is whether the human federation has enough reserves to fill the loopholes in the defense line, and the third is whether the human legion fighting on the front line can withstand the enemy's attack.Among these three factors, as long as one of them goes wrong, the Human Federation will suffer catastrophe.Obviously, there are only three factors that are beneficial to the Human Federation, that is, the extreme race did not go all out in this war, the Human Federation has enough reserves, and the frontline legion can withstand the enemy's attack, the Human Federation is possible Survive, or buy enough time to adjust the defense deployment.

Fortunately, at the critical juncture, the Human Federation did not make low-level mistakes again.

After the fleet of the Extreme Clan appeared near the star system of the outpost, the six elders who presided over the overall situation immediately realized that they had made a low-level mistake and missed an excellent opportunity for a truce.It's just that they didn't make mistakes, but immediately adjusted their strategy.The first thing they did was to ask the Patriarch of the Yu Family to personally come forward to coordinate with the Jijing Clan and try their best to stabilize the Jijing Clan.

At that time, the head of the Yu family was Yu Linglong's nephew Yuzhen, who was also Yu Hongyang's great-grandfather.

Although she doesn't have Yu Linglong's influence, Yuzhen's demeanor is by no means inferior to Yu Linglong's.More importantly, he has been following Yu Linglong and has a good personal friendship with the Queen of the Jijing Clan.In addition, he is also one of the most powerful existences in the Human Federation, and his strength is not inferior to a few elders.Based on the situation at the time, Yuzhen was the only one who was qualified to go to the Queen of the Jijing Clan and made the Jijing Clan hold back.

More importantly, the Jijing tribe did not give up hope of reconciliation with the Human Federation.

With the efforts of Yuzhen, the Jijing tribe made a guarantee that as long as the Human Federation did not unilaterally destroy the current situation, the Jijing tribe would not send more troops to participate in the war against the Human Federation.It's just that the fleet that has already been dispatched is not within this range.The reason is also very simple. The Extreme Realm Race is an alliance with the other three second-rate top civilizations, and a hostile relationship with the Human Federation.It is very good that the Extreme Clan can make some reservations. If there is no good reason, it is obviously impossible for the Extreme Clan to withdraw from the fleet that has already been invested.In fact, this was the best result that could be achieved at that time, at least there was no need to worry that the extreme tribe would become the main enemy.

This promise prevented the Human Federation from being destroyed, but it also became a shackle that restricted the Human Federation, which had a huge impact on the development of the war situation, and it has not dissipated so far.It can even be said that this promise of the Extreme Realm has deprived the Human Federation of the war initiative.However, judging from the situation at the time, there was no way to do it, because without this promise, the Human Federation would have been destroyed long ago.

Shortly thereafter, the Jijing Clan rejected the request initiated by the Bingyu Clan and the Wild Beast Clan on the grounds that they were not fully prepared for the war, did not have enough transport spaceships, and did not have enough material support. Battleships increase the strength of your fleet.

As for the second factor, the problem is not so great.

The Human Federation has already completed the war mobilization and made full preparations.Although many reserves have not reached combat status, that is, the recruits have not yet completed training, there are enough reserves, and most of them already have basic combat capabilities.Even if the combat power is not strong enough, as long as it is needed, these reserve teams can still play their due value at critical moments.

Relatively speaking, the third factor is the key.

Although there are enough reserves, it takes enough time to send these reserves to the battlefield, that is, to deploy them in place.If the enemy aggressively attacks at this time, and the front-line army fails to stabilize the front line, it will not be possible to deploy the reserve team in time.

In other words, the performance of the frontline legion determines the life and death of the Human Federation.

At that time, the biggest problem was not the combat effectiveness of the legion, but the morale and fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers.

Don't forget, the first to participate in the battle are all regular legions, that is, the standing legion of the Human Federation. Not only are all the officers and soldiers regular soldiers, but they also receive strict training at ordinary times.To put it simply, the officers and soldiers of these legions are professional soldiers, and their existence value is to kill the enemy in battle.

As the saying goes, "Raise a soldier for a thousand days, and use it for a while" is also the truth.

Obviously, the combat effectiveness of these main armies is not a problem, and it has been confirmed in previous battles.

The real problem is nothing but anything that makes the officers and soldiers of these legions accept the reality, that is, switch from counterattack to defense, and give up what seems to be an easy victory.If this issue is not handled properly, the consequences will certainly be unimaginable.You must know that if there is a problem with the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers, no matter how strong their combat effectiveness is, they will not be able to exert themselves.If the officers and soldiers cannot accept the reality, they will lose the reason to fight bloody battles with the enemy.It can even be said that if the frontline officers and soldiers misunderstand, such as thinking that the politicians in the rear decided to compromise with the enemy, they will think they have been betrayed. Let alone continue to resist the powerful enemy, it is lucky that these officers and soldiers did not turn back before the battle.

The problem is that it is obviously not an easy task for frontline officers and soldiers to accept the reality.

Quite simply, the battle situation at that time was still in favor of the Human Federation on the surface, at least it seemed that the Human Legion held the initiative.As long as the star system of the outpost is defeated, the pre-war defense line can be restored, thereby controlling the entire northern region, and even forcing the four second-rate top civilizations to accept the truce.More importantly, the previous propaganda of the federal authorities was all based on this, in order to encourage frontline officers and soldiers to fight bloody battles.As a result, front-line officers and soldiers believe that if they can withstand the pressure and occupy the outpost star system before the arrival of enemy reinforcements, they can create an ideal truce environment and thus end the war, at least temporarily. .Now, to convince the front-line officers and soldiers that the Human Federation has missed the best opportunity, and continuing to fight will not only fail to win the final victory, but also worsen the situation, or even suffer a disastrous defeat, what is needed is not just one reason, let alone several It's that simple.

It was at this time that a person stepped forward and became the first military commander of the Human Federation in this war, that is, the first soldier to receive the rank of marshal.

He is also from the Yu family, named Yu Qingyu, the fifth son of Yuzhen and the grandfather of Yu Hongyang.

At that time, he was just an ordinary legion commander, and the legion he commanded was the main force to attack the outpost star system.

When Yuzhen went to negotiate with the Jijing clan, he received the news that the general situation was over, and the next thing to do was to consolidate the existing line of defense.Although he couldn't accept this result at all, he knew very well that if the opportunity was missed, the Human Federation would have no future to speak of.However, he also knew that a few words were definitely not enough to convince the grassroots officers and soldiers, especially the backbone of the legion, that is, the grassroots officers.The only effective way for officers and soldiers to accept this cruel reality is to allow officers and soldiers to recognize the reality.Only when there is a direct understanding, can officers and soldiers believe that retreat is the only feasible way, and they will willingly implement the orders issued by the military department.

Obviously, the key point is how to make officers and soldiers recognize the reality.

For this reason, Yu Qingyu did something that was absolutely stupid for him, but absolutely correct for grassroots officers and soldiers, for the Legion, and for the Human Federation.

That is, an attack was launched before Yuzhen reached a secret agreement with the Jijing clan.

At that time, the fleet of the Jijing tribe had already participated in the battle, repelled the human fleet, and controlled the route of the star system of the outpost.Although the human fleet has not been wiped out and has not left the battlefield, it is no longer able to provide support for the legion as before, let alone assist the legion in launching an attack.More importantly, a transport fleet of the Jijing tribe has arrived to deliver combat supplies to the Kunyang tribe guarding the outpost star system.Even if the Kunyang Legion has not adjusted, the human legion still has some advantages, but it is already impossible to take down the star system of the outpost.As long as the Jijing fleet is still there, the human legion will have to evacuate the outpost star system sooner or later.

In addition, the military department has long issued an order to the frontline army to prepare for the retreat.

Of course, the order was given to the head of the legion, and the head of the legion carried it out.

In addition, Yu Zhen also sent a message to Yu Qingyu to make Yu Qingyu prepare. After all, Yu Qingyu commanded the most powerful army at that time.As expected, in the next retreat, the legion commanded by Yu Qingyu will take on the post-break mission.

That is to say, under such circumstances, Yu Qingyu did not consider his personal future and made a choice that was more beneficial to the officers and soldiers of the legion.

The counterattack initiated by him this time will obviously not have any good results.Leaving aside the combat effectiveness of the legion, just a legion cannot change the situation on the battlefield at all.

Of course, this counterattack and Yu Qingyu's performance in the counterattack produced infinite value.

Although there is no way to prove it, it is conceivable that when making this decision, Yu Qingyu never thought about being able to leave the outpost star system alive.It's very simple, even if he survived, he would be sent to a military court for disobeying the orders issued by the military department and organizing the army to launch an attack without authorization.Even if he is Yuzhen's son, as long as he is convicted of the crime, he will at least be dismissed from the army, and in serious cases he will be sentenced to death.

As a result, in the counterattack, Yu Qingyu took the lead and always rushed to the forefront.

It's just that he didn't die, otherwise there would be no generalissimo later.

More importantly, other legions also entered the battle in time, and the legion led by Yu Qingyu was not allowed to fight alone, and finally defeated the enemy, saved this legion, and also saved Yu Qingyu.

Of course, this counterattack with almost no return also made the frontline officers and soldiers, especially the officers and soldiers of those legions in the star system at the outpost, clearly realize that the situation has reversed, and even if all the legions go all out, they cannot wipe out all the enemies , let alone take back this crucial star system.Only by retreating in time can we save valuable troops and continue to resist powerful enemies.

Although Yu Qingyu lost his left arm and right eye in this battle, he achieved his goal of launching an attack.
