Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 514 Misfortune flows eastward
The operation to reclaim the colony system is going well, and not just in War Zone III.

In just a few days, nine theaters successively released good news.Because the military did not make a decision on sending troops, the nine theaters all clearly mentioned that the legions they sent out regained lost ground with the assistance of local civil resistance organizations, and the contributions made by civil resistance organizations were even more significant.In this way, civil resistance organizations became the heroes of regaining the lost ground, while the nine theaters only provided support.

Although this allowed civil resistance organizations to steal the limelight, it was still the nine theaters that controlled the overall situation.

However, not all colonization of galaxies is smooth sailing.

In addition to the third war zone, several other war zones also encountered accidents, and the situation was exactly the same. The fleet sent out did not reach the destination, and the whereabouts of the legions carried by the fleet were also unknown.More importantly, the fleets involved in the accident were all dispatched to colonial galaxies within the jurisdiction of other theaters.

In other words, the nine theaters all believe that other theaters are playing tricks.

What's worse, the commanders of the nine theaters are not very clear about what happened outside.

Although the colonial galaxies of the Human Federation fell shortly after the start of the war, and the nine theaters lost contact with the colonial galaxies within their jurisdiction before they could complete deployment adjustments, but don’t forget that in each colonial galaxy there are of the security forces.The main job of these troops in peacetime is to maintain the order of the colonial galaxy, which is equivalent to the police, while in wartime it is responsible for guarding the colonial galaxy.

According to military regulations, the garrison of the colonial galaxy must live and die with the garrison.

That is to say, the garrisons of each colony system must fight the enemy to the last moment unless they receive an order from the higher command organization.From the commander of the garrison to the soldiers at the lowest level, not to mention fleeing from the garrison, even leaving the post without authorization is a crime of treason.

Because the military headquarters and the nine theaters failed to adjust their deployment in time, when the colonial galaxies fell, most of the local garrisons remained.Although some people must have fled because they were afraid of death, most of the officers and soldiers of the garrison stayed to resist the invading powerful enemy.

Not just one or a few colonial galaxies, but almost all colonial galaxies have resistance organizations led by the garrison and mainly composed of garrison officers and soldiers.Because they could not get in touch with the home galaxy, many officers and soldiers of the garrison turned into civil armed personnel.As a result, the civil resistance organizations in the various colonial galaxies are inextricably linked to the garrisons. After the arrival of reinforcements, most of these resistance organizations returned to the theater where they were located, and accepted the leadership of the theater command, and then they will be reorganized. Combat troops under the theater of operations.It is also true that the various war zones have given the main credit for the recovery of the colonial galaxy to the local civil resistance organizations.

In fact, the problem lies here.

Before the Silicon Demon army retreated, because they could not get in touch with the military headquarters, the federal authorities, and the theater command, the garrisons of the colonial galaxies could only fight on their own.In order to resist a powerful enemy, the surviving officers and soldiers of the garrison can only join forces with local civilian forces and mobilize civilian personnel to join resistance organizations.More importantly, they didn't know the situation outside, so they didn't know that the enemy had begun to retreat.That is to say, if they encounter troops of unknown origin, such as legions from other theaters, they may not necessarily regard them as reinforcements.In addition, the core of these civilian resistance organizations is the officers and soldiers of the garrison, and the officers and soldiers of the garrison only serve their war zone.When encountering armies from other theaters, and realizing that these armies are not here to help them, but to occupy their colony systems, conflict is inevitable.What's more, because of the inability to communicate smoothly, it is very likely that the situation will get out of control.

In other words, none of the commanders of the nine theaters could be sure that it was not the garrisons in their own theater that attacked the legions in other theaters.

Of course, even if they knew, they would not admit it.

In fact, this was not the most important thing at the time.

Although in just a few days, the nine theaters regained some colonial galaxies and "helped" other theaters regain some lost ground, there are still a large number of colonial galaxies in the hands of the enemy, and these colonial galaxies may suffer at any time. The catastrophe.Even if these colonial galaxies are not very important, no one dares to deny their significance to the Human Federation. After all, these colonial galaxies are the property of the Human Federation.If these colonial galaxies are lost, even if the Human Federation still exists, it will not be as powerful as before.If you take a longer view, the survival of these colonized galaxies will even determine the status of the Human Federation in the Galactic Federation.

If you can't even keep the colonial galaxies in your jurisdiction, what else can the Human Federation hope for?

The operation to regain lost ground has only just begun, and it is far from over.However, after the nine theaters successively controlled those colonial galaxies with great strategic value, it would no longer be difficult for the military to take a unified action to recover those colonial galaxies still occupied by the enemy.

To put it bluntly, the nine theaters failed to reach an agreement on the issue of sending troops before, and that's what happened.Now, those major colonial galaxies have been controlled, it can be said that the done deal, the dust has settled, and the human federation has begun to send troops to recover the lost ground. The silicon demon army will definitely take action, and will not give the human legion more time.Since the rest are mostly insignificant colonial galaxies, it is not only more efficient for the military to organize the nine theaters to take action, but it can also give the people a satisfactory explanation.As for how to divide the jurisdiction of these colonial galaxies, it is not a problem. At least the nine theater commanders will not fight for these irrelevant colonial galaxies.If you lose the support of the people because of this, even if you win a few colonial galaxies, it will not be worth the loss.

Since it is organized and commanded by the military department, it is necessary to formulate a detailed plan, and it is even more necessary to gather the legions and transport ships in each theater.It also takes a lot of time. Even if the military department is very efficient in wartime, it is impossible to send the legion out in a short period of time.

Since then, good news has been sent back every day.

For the Human Federation, or for those colonized galaxies who have taken refuge in their home galaxies, it seems that returning home is just around the corner.

For these refugees from the colonized galaxy, every day of waiting is a torment.

I have to say that the military department does have problems.

This time, it is not the nine theaters that are holding back, but the military itself.After the commanders of the nine theaters have expressed their unconditional support for the recovery of other colonial galaxies, the military department has yet to come up with a feasible combat plan, not even a basic idea.

In fact, the military cannot be blamed for this.

After its establishment, the military department has never held real power.In the past 1000 years, the military power of the Human Federation has always been in the hands of nine theaters.In other words, in the past 1000 years, the military department was just a decoration. Not only did it not have the power to command and mobilize the army, but it also did not have the military department to formulate combat plans.As a result, the military department not only has no experience in formulating combat plans, but also has no talents in this area.

Of course, people don't know this and don't care.

All of a sudden, the people's spearheads were all aimed at the military.The nine war zones have already completed their preparations and mobilized the legions in their hands, but the legion has not been sent out for a long time. It is because the military department has not come up with a feasible plan and plan, and it is the military department that has held back the nine theaters.

Obviously, the public has overlooked one of the most critical issues.

In addition to the insufficient efficiency of the military headquarters, the main problem at that time was that the legions that the nine theaters could provide were too few, and their combat effectiveness was very weak.Don't forget, before this, the nine theaters had sent out all the most powerful legions.To put it bluntly, even if the efficiency of the military department is improved, there is no usable and strong enough legion, and it is impossible to come up with a feasible battle plan.

Of course, in the eyes of a discerning person, it is actually the nine theaters that have directed the blame of the people to the military.

It can be said that this trick is very clever.Don't forget, before this, the public had been targeting the nine war zones, especially after the three colonial galaxies were destroyed by the army of silicon demons, almost everyone thought it was the result of the nine war zones' inaction and mutual conflict.Although through subsequent actions, the status of the nine theaters in the hearts of the people has improved, but the people will not easily forget the past.Only by creating a new contradiction, the people will forget what the nine war zones have done, and will regard the nine war zones as a savior, especially for those refugees from the colonial galaxy.Obviously, it's helpful for the nine warzones to continue to master the colony system.

To put it simply, the nine theaters are using this method to redefine their spheres of influence.

It can be said that as long as the people are completely disappointed with the military headquarters, they must pin their hopes on the nine theaters.Because it is now a time of war, the military department and the federal authorities are one, so being disappointed with the military department is tantamount to being disappointed with the federal authorities.After this situation is formed, even if the war is over, the authority of the federal authorities in the colonial galaxy will disappear, and the nine theaters will thus become the actual rulers of the colonial galaxy.

Because they can all benefit from it, the commanders of the nine theaters are naturally happy to see it.

The inaction of the military department has already caused the anger of the people to ferment, but to ignite the anger of the people, a spark is needed.

Of course, as long as this situation persists, this Mars will appear.

To put it simply, as long as there are a few colonial galaxies, even if one is destroyed by the army of silicon demons because the military did not send troops in time, the anger of the people will explode.At that time, even if all the other colonial galaxies are recovered, the prestige of the military will be gone.

For the nine theaters, all they had to do was wait and step in to calm the situation when that moment came.

It must be admitted that, including Zhan Ruilin, the commanders of the nine theaters are indeed scheming, and their attitude towards this matter is unprecedentedly consistent.

It's just that they missed one factor.

The military department has long issued the "Comprehensive Anti-Japanese War Order". Although the orthodox status of the military department and the theater has not been shaken, it is no longer the military that has the right to recover lost ground, but everyone.If the military does not act, the nine theaters are happy to see it, but it does not mean that other people are also the same.
