Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 569
Although he didn't want to leave here, after Yang Yi made the arrangements, Jackson didn't hesitate, and immediately left Fengxing with Buck and others.Even in peacetime, going to the Northern Alpha system is very dangerous, let alone in wartime, but Jackson is very aware of the significance of this trip.Regardless of Yang Yi's future, keeping in touch with Curia is extremely important.More importantly, Jackson is the perfect man for the task, and no one can replace him.Yang Yi entrusted him with such an important task, showing his absolute trust in him.For this alone, let alone going to the Northern Alpha Galaxy, even if he went to the mountain of knives and the pan of oil, Jackson would never look back.

After Jackson and others left, Yang Yi was not in a hurry to return to his home galaxy.

At this time, the Command of the Third War Zone had sent a call, and in the name of the military department, Yang Yi was asked to go back to report on his duties, and it was clearly mentioned that the military department decided to reward Yang Yi for his great contribution in guarding the Beacon Galaxy. In addition to granting federal citizenship In addition, the rank of major general will also be awarded.

Apparently, it's not just a tribute.

According to the military regulations that have lasted for thousands of years, only generals have the right to lead the army in battle. Officers under generals, even colonels, do not have this privilege.Take the battle of guarding Fengxing Martians as an example, Yang Yi is only commanding civilian armed forces, and the reinforcements sent from various theaters do not directly follow Yang Yi's command. Yang Yi can only give orders to Fang Zhicheng and others. Reinforcements sent from a war zone.Because he has not returned to his home galaxy, Yang Yi's current official status is still the special envoy of the Human Federation.It is with this identity that Yang Yi can order Fang Zhicheng and other generals.Without this identity, it can be said that Yang Yi is nothing.

Of course, being promoted to four ranks in a row, directly promoted from major to major general, is definitely a great reward.

Although it is not uncommon to be promoted by leapfrogging, especially in wartime, it is rare to be promoted to four levels in a row. There are no more than ten people who have enjoyed such treatment in the past five thousand miles.Even Xiao Wentian back then was promoted to major general three times. He won the title of marshal at the end of the lighthouse star offensive and defensive battle, and was not posthumously awarded the title of grand marshal until the end of the fifth Greenwich War.What's more, Xiao Wentian was already a household name at that time, and he could even be said to be the pride of the Human Federation, while Yang Yi can only be regarded as a minor celebrity now.It can be said that the awards given to Yang Yi by the military have surpassed that of Xiao Wentian at that time, at least giving Yang Yi the same treatment as Xiao Wentian.

The question is, is this a good thing?
Not to mention Yang Yi, even Shen Chengwen could tell that the military's promotion of Yang Yi was not to cultivate Yang Yi, but to kill Yang Yi.

It's very simple, Yang Yi is not Xiao Wentian, and he doesn't have as much influence as Xiao Wentian.

Although Yang Yi led the army to guard Fengxing Mars, he won wide acclaim and gained some influence, but it was limited to some colonial galaxies. In the home galaxies, in the military and federal authorities, Yang Yi basically had no influence at all.At this time, the military department awarded Yang Yi the rank of major general, allowing him to gain the power to command the army, which is tantamount to pushing Yang Yi to the forefront.Even if Yang Yi's actions to come to Feng Huxing have already stated his position, it is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the nine theaters, but he has not reached the point of directly turning his face, but after gaining the command of the army, it will be different.It can be said that even if the military department cannot deal with Yang Yi directly, it can also use this to pose some problems for Yang Yi.

Yang Yi was also very clear about this.

Corresponding to power is responsibility.

To put it simply, as a major officer, as long as he obeys orders, Yang Yi doesn't have to worry about taking responsibility, but as a major general, he has the power to lead the army and fight, and Yang Yi has to take responsibility.To put it simply, at that time, the military department only needs to issue an order, such as asking Yang Yi to command the human legion to recover the Greenwich defense line, or to launch an attack. Of course, it is best to win. As long as you lose the battle, even if you have not completed all For combat missions, Yang Yi not only has to take responsibility, but the military department also has reasons to hold him accountable.During the war, a general who failed to win on the battlefield, not to mention gaining sympathy, did not even have the right to speak for himself.

As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall, and this is the truth.

In fact, Yang Yi received the message from Yu Linglong before receiving the order from the third war zone.

Although the main force of the Silicon Demon army has been withdrawn, there are still many colonial galaxies under the control of the enemy, and the remaining Silicon Demon army is ready to fight to the death.According to Yu Linglong's speculation, because of Yang Yi's performance in Fengxing Mars, the military department is likely to let Yang Yi lead the army to recover these colonial galaxies.The point is that these colonial galaxies are not of much value, but belong to the territory of the Human Federation.Otherwise, it is impossible for the nine war zones to stand still.In other words, these colonized systems that are still under enemy control are completely useless.Even if everything goes well, what Yang Yi gets is just some colonized galaxies that are not of much value.If it didn't go so smoothly, Yang Yi would have to bear full responsibility for the defeat, and the military would have a reason to deal with him.

Because of this, Yu Linglong suggested that Yang Yi stay on Fengxing Mars and not return to his home galaxy for the time being.

In Yu Linglong's words, it is not difficult to eliminate the stubborn Simei army, all it takes is time, and the Yu family has already started to arrange it.After everything is arranged properly, even if Yang Yi doesn't command the army himself, the Yu family will still have the means to recover these colonial galaxies.

Obviously, Yu Linglong saw it very clearly.

All the arrangements she made were for Yang Yi's sake, to prevent Yang Yi from falling into the trap set by those guys in the military department, and to try her best to protect Yang Yi's interests.

Yang Yi followed Yu Linglong's advice, but not because he was afraid of taking responsibility.

In fact, all Yang Yi needs is time.

The Yu family is working hard to recover those colonial galaxies that are still under the control of the enemy. Another force, the Star Weaving Clan reinforcements commanded by the Empress Star Soul, is also working hard, but it is not to recover those insignificant colonial galaxies, but to seize The crucial Greenwich line of defense.

When Yu Linglong sent the message, Yang Yi also received the message from the Star Soul Queen.

According to the arrangement of the Star Soul Queen, the reinforcements of the Weaving Star Clan have left Proxima Centauri and are heading towards the Greenwich defense line, trying to reach and control the Greenwich defense line before the human legion.For this reason, the Queen of Star Soul clearly mentioned that she hopes that Yang Yi can stay in Fengxing for a while.The reason is that if Yang Yi returns to his home galaxy at this time, the military department will definitely entrust him with the task of recovering other colonial galaxies, and the nine theaters will be able to mobilize enough troops to control Greenwich before the reinforcements from the Weaving Star Clan line of defense.

Obviously, that's the point.

Because the Silicon Charm army has already retreated, after the human legion takes control of the Greenwich defense line, they will definitely try to strengthen their defenses and will not consider counterattacks.As long as this situation is formed, in the short term, both sides will focus on defense.If the war ended like this, it would be acceptable.However, the war will not end because of this, at least the Silicon Magic Alliance will not cease fighting because of this.After missing the best opportunity to launch a strategic counterattack, when the Silicon Magic Alliance launches an attack again, not only the Human Federation, but also the Galactic Alliance will suffer a disastrous defeat.It can be seen from this that the most urgent task is to seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and to control the Greenwich defense line without giving the enemy a chance to breathe.

It can be said that the situation is very obvious.

In order to safeguard their own interests, those in power in the military did not consider counterattack at all, but just wanted to seize this opportunity to consolidate their sphere of influence.If Yang Yi returns to his home galaxy at this time, he will definitely be reused, which is equivalent to helping the nine theaters expand their sphere of influence.As long as Yang Yi stays in Fengxing, the nine war zones will send troops to recover those colonial galaxies that are still under the enemy's control, so there is no time for him.

That's why Yang Yi stayed in Fengxing on the grounds that the battle was not over yet.

Of course, this is not a long-term solution.

As a soldier of the Human Federation, it is impossible for Yang Yi to ignore the orders of the military department.Even if there is a reason to stay, it is only temporarily.

Fortunately, all Yang Yi needs is to delay for a while.

After nearly half a month of hard fighting, the human legion commanded by Yuyang wiped out the remaining enemies on the southern continent, and the battle on the northern continent was almost complete.All that was left was to recover the eastern and western continents, and Yuyang had already drawn up a battle plan, which was approved by Fang Zhicheng.Even if something unexpected happens, the battle on Fengxing Mars will definitely end within a month.

More importantly, the warship sent by the military to take Yang Yi back to his home galaxy has arrived.

To Yang Yi's surprise, it was Lin Liexun who had been promoted to lieutenant general to pick him up.

Since Yang Yi was about to obtain the rank of major general, it was reasonable to send a lieutenant general to pick him up.It was obviously Zhan Ruilin's arrangement to send Lin Liexun to meet Yang Yi.To put it bluntly, Yang Yi may not take other people seriously, but he will not give Lin Liexun face.

Obviously, at this time, Lin Liexun is probably the only one who can invite Yang Yi.

Now, Yang Yi has no reason to refuse to return to his home galaxy.

Fortunately, before this, Yu Linglong had already sent a message that in addition to the previous dozen or so colonized galaxies, the Yu family had united with more than 20 other colonized galaxies to form a secret alliance.In other words, the autonomous governments of these colonial galaxies will unconditionally support Yang Yi.More importantly, the armed forces of these colonial galaxies have been integrated by the Yu family, and their strength must not be underestimated.

Although no news from the Star Soul Queen has been received yet, according to Yang Yi's speculation, the reinforcements from the Weaving Star Clan are enough to reach the Greenwich defense line within half a month.Besides, it will take some time for Yang Yi to return to his home galaxy, which means more time for the Weaving Star Clan's reinforcements.

After handing over the command to Yuyang, Yang Yi boarded Lin Liexun's flagship, an S-class warship.

Because there was no suspense in the battle, Fang Zhicheng also handed over the command to his officers, and returned to his home galaxy with Yang Yi.

Although the battle on Fengxing Mars is coming to an end, in Yang Yi's view, the war has just begun.
