Chapter 129: Desik's Abacus
Chapter 129 The Desikians' Abacus
Putting down the phone call of General Seuss Bondalev, Martin Gonzalez, commander of the Fifth Fleet of Desik, wandered around the room for a long time, but could not make a decision.
Gonzalez, fifty-two years old this year, is a grey-haired man.
He was once the savior of Prince Annis Bidru. In an assassination against the royal family, he bravely stepped forward to save Prince Annis, and thus rose to prominence. He was also arrested and imprisoned in the internal struggle of Desik and almost died of a life of death.
Decades of storms have cultivated a cautious style of looking at it with one step, and are known as the Fox in the Desik Army.
Before Bondalev called, Gonzalez happened to drop the battle report from the Bermuda Galaxy.
He read this battle report very carefully. He even knew more about what had happened and was happening in Bermuda in a hurry than Bondalev, who called him in a hurry.
Therefore, although Bondalev strongly begged Desik Fifth Fleet to launch reinforcements, he did not make a decision immediately.
Gonzalez lowered his head and walked slowly in the quiet office.
He knew that Bondalev, who had hung up the phone, must be on the way to meet him at this moment. He also rushed to his office, perhaps those royal ministers and military generals of Jepeng.
This is a bit funny.
Although Suss and Jepen are both major members of the Western Conference, these two countries are not very friendly at ordinary times. Whether it is their royal family, their nobles and military, they have never stopped fighting for hundreds of years.
Emperor Su O'Brady III and Emperor Ao's V, in nice words, are both heroes of a generation... If you put it in bad words, these two are greedy and crazy ambitions!
If we have the opportunity to annex the other party, I am afraid no one will hesitate for even a second!
When Gonzalez thought of this, he couldn't help but snorted with contempt. As a general of Desik, he had no good feelings for these two empires before Desik.
However... he lit a cigar, walked to the electronic sand table on the side of the office and stopped. He watched the Bermuda battle situation chart quickly made by the staff members on the sand table based on the battle report, and frowned tightly... It is not a matter of personal likes and dislikes now. The situation in Bermuda is related to the entire Southeast war situation, as well as himself and Annis......
"General, Prince Annis has arrived." The automatic door opened, and the confidential secretary reported.
"Please hurry." Gonzalez was stunned, then subconsciously looked at the time, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
His Highness, obviously, received news that the bandits attacked Bermuda. With his always amazing sense of sensitivity to opportunities, it would be a strange thing to come a few minutes later.
"Uncle Martin!"
Medium-sized, wearing royal lieutenant general uniform, linen hair and a high nose bridge, Crown Prince Annis Bidru appeared at the door. He strode into the door, took off his hat, and hugged Gonzalez to greet him.
“Have you received the news from Bermuda?”
Gonzalez smiled heartily and patted Annis on the shoulder. Twenty years ago, he saved the life of the crown prince who was only fourteen years old, and his mark had been left on his body. In Desik, everyone knows that Gonzalez is the most loyal hound of Prince Annis!
Annis squeezed his eyes from Gonzalez, his thin lips curled up a smile.
"What do you think?" Gonzalez asked directly while turning around and strode towards the electronic sand table.
"We must seize this opportunity." Annis, who was following closely behind, was obviously already making up his mind on the way to come. Therefore, when Gonzalez asked, he immediately answered without hesitation, and took the lead and walked to the electronic sand table, took the electronic putter from a staff officer and pointed at the Bermuda Galaxy.
"Uncle Martin, look..." Annis put down his hat and said excitedly: "The bandits dispatched this time were a total of eleven A-class fleets... This was a complete outpouring!"
Gonzalez nodded. This judgment was not made today. In fact, before that, he had a more profound analysis of the combat effectiveness of the bandit army with Annis.
Russell brought out the fleet of the Lere Federation, plus the Duke of Humphrey captured by Lieutenant General Leretian Xingjian in the Longbow Galaxy, plus the Salega battleships they originally owned, the Fyyan, Sousse, and the warships of the Northern League and other powerful forces obtained in the battle, after transformation, it was probably the size of the eleven fleets!
This is exactly consistent with the forces put into force by the bandit army in attacking Bermuda!
The putter in Annis's hand quickly turned around the airspace near the Midway Star and Rodbia Star, circled the warship icons representing the bandit fleet, and said without stopping.
"It is obvious that the bad situation of Newton's leap point has made them unable to sit still. Russell attacked Bermuda several times and even forced the Central Star Domain to make the Sheldon fleet retreat and reduce the pressure on Newton's leap point."
Annis said, turning his eyes to Gonzalez, with a naughty and flattering smile on his face: "But it's a pity that behind Sheldon's fleet is my dear Uncle Martin. With the strict defense of my Desik Fifth Fleet, and General Sheldon was determined to take down Newton's jump point, Russell's harassment did not play any role!"
Gonzalez burst into laughter and took a hard sip of the cigar.
Annis smiled and said, "The bandits were forced to do nothing and could only let the winner go now!"
"It's right!" Gonzalez praised.
Encouraged by Gonzalez, Annis's eyes were even more excited: "If the firewood was not removed from the cauldron, they came to surround Wei and save Zhao! Using the strong attack on Bermuda as bait, we lure us back to reinforce."
"This plan looks good." Gonzalez squirted a sip of smoke and said slowly, "The question is, should we be fooled?"
"God! Uncle Martin, of course we have to be fooled!" Annis laughed loudly, "Don't tell me that the famous Fox in the Desik army will not see the opportunity contained in it!"
He turned his head excitedly to look at the electronic sandbox and said, "In order to understand the dilemma of saving the Newton Galaxy, the bandit army sent troops to attack the Bermuda Galaxy. From a strategic point of view, it is indeed a skillful move!"
The young lieutenant general pointed the electronic putter in his hand at Chakner in the north: "The two empires of Suss and Jepen have tried their best to win Resk! All the troops that can be mobilized in China have been put into the Resk battlefield. In this way, it has only become a stalemate.
Therefore, I can fully understand how panicked General Bondalev would be when he heard the news of Bermuda's attack by the bandits. I'm afraid his first reaction was to call Uncle Martin, right?"
"I guessed!" Gonzalez said lightly with a cigar in his mouth.
Annis narrowed his eyes and said quickly: "It's not only him who is anxious, but also the Jepeng people. The current battle between them and Chuckner cannot be supported by their two empires alone. After all, Chuckner's strength is there. This country has been fully activated since Marshal Li Cunxin's return, and with the support of the Feiyang Republic behind it. By the time they complete the fourth batch of troops to Resk, the situation of Sus and Jepeng will be worse than it is now!"
Annis' analysis made the staff members present nod their heads secretly.
"Opening the central channel of Lere and connecting several empires together is a strategy that I decided before the war in the West End." Annis's eyes became serious and even cold: "In order to achieve this strategy, Gacharin, Suss, Jepen, and my Desik Empire were all on the hard bone of the Lere Federation, and suffered heavy losses."
He turned to look at Gonzalez: "General Sheldon attacked the Newton Galaxy just to send troops to expand the defense zones of the two wings in the southeast. To be honest, the deterrence of the Flavio regime of Lere is far more important than the strategic significance! However, the Bermuda Galaxy is different. This galaxy is originally an integral part of the Lerere Central Channel!"
He used an electronic push rod to push all the Siyo forces in the Bermuda galaxy away on the sand table. Then, from Bermuda to the top, he pulled a long line along the Longbow Galaxy, the main channel in the southeast to the Reske Galaxy.
Gonzalez and his staff watched quietly as the long line winding in the star field, and suddenly divided the two empires of Suss and Jepen again. It was like a natural chasm that could not be crossed!
"The Suss and the Jaipen Empire had insufficient troops in Bermuda. Therefore, when General Sheldon wanted to attack Newton's jump point and we were responsible for guarding the central star field of Lere, they could only allow Russell to harass the Bermuda galaxy. However, as the losses of the transport ships on their channel intensified, Bondalev had long been so distressed that he was about to vomit blood."
Annis gently tilted the corner of his mouth and then said, "If it were just harassment, no matter how much blood he vomited, he could only endure it himself. But now, the bandits were attacking Star and Rodbia Star in the middle of the attack, and after dispatching their army armored forces, he could no longer remain silent. Because the emergence of the army completely changed the nature of the entire war!"
He looked around: "The bandits not only want to surround Wei and save Zhao, they also want to close the entire Lele Central Channel! Once they take down the Bermuda galaxy, the Suss and Jepeng empires will be separated from us again. This is definitely a disaster for these two empires. If we cannot open up the Bermuda galaxy again in a short time, then Suss and Jepeng will face the danger of the Fei Alliance moving south from the southeast main channel, going around Bermuda, and attacking their local areas!"
"More importantly, no one can help them at that time." Annis sneered: "The reason they were able to spend all their money to put their troops into Resk is because they had the support of Siego. They have been waiting for General Sober to send troops to the southeast and wait for our reinforcements. However, once Bermuda is closed by the Filipino League and they would not have the upper hand in Resk, their best choice is to quickly withdraw all the troops at hand."
"Retreat?" The staff members looked at each other. The fleet was easy to retreat. The problem was that Sus and Jie Peng were not so easy to withdraw from the army of Canglangxing and Leifengxing. Prince Annis's words were equivalent to letting Emperor Su and Emperor Jie destroy their martial arts. Once they retreated, I don't know how many army would surrender the entire army.
"I can fully imagine General Bondalev's anxiety at this moment." Annis and Gonzalez looked at each other and smiled: "To put aside the importance of Bermuda, just losing the only record they can achieve in the country would be like a crushing defeat. By then, the economy that is almost collapsed will completely collapse and the domestic political situation will quickly fall into turmoil. They can't afford to lose Bermuda!"
"I guess in ten minutes, our dear Admiral Bondalev, it's time to arrive." Gonzalez turned off the cigar in the ashtray, looked at the watch, and smiled sly at Annis: "We have some time left to discuss how to knock on the bamboo rift between Sus and Jepen!"
Annis took a deep breath, trying hard to stabilize his emotions, but his face could not suppress the excited light.
He knew that no matter whether Gonzalez was convinced by him or simply realized the meaning of this opportunity to him, he had agreed to send troops.
From the overall strategy of the West Joseon, it is indeed urgent to reinforce Bermuda. The bandits that came out of their nest have already taken out their greatest strength. The twenty armored divisions are not ordinary armored divisions. The scene of their mecha war god fighting with the Judgmenter on Leifeng Star has spread among the top leaders of the West Joseon through secret channels.
Once Bermuda is occupied by them, Suss and Jepen will quickly fall into panic. If the Filipino Alliance can quickly invest its troops and go south along the southeastern channel, and consolidate the defense line of Bermuda's jumping point before the Western Conference, it will be a catastrophe for the two empires! With their own strength, they will be unable to open up the Lere Channel again!
But for yourself, what is more important is the benefits brought by this opportunity!
The Desik Empire is considered an old-fashioned power. However, throughout the Western Conference, Desik's status is fifth in the Naga Federation, the Seus Empire and the Jepeng Empire!
On weekdays, the Desik Empire suffered a lot of eyebrow because of its decay and its poor combat effectiveness. General Suss and General Jepen have always looked at people with their eyes slanted. In addition, since the war started, Desik attacked from all sides but gained nothing. The war with Tatania and Puditok was in a stalemate. The Galillo Galaxy, which had originally taken down Lere and the Pyrenees Galaxy, which were finally lost.
Annis admitted that both the royal family, the imperial officials, and themselves were always jealous of the territory occupied by Suss and Jepeng.
And this time, the Desik Fifth Fleet sent troops to Lere, but there was no benefit.
Bermuda is the territory shared by Suss and Jepen. The central star field was taken over by the Binard Empire and quietly occupied. Sheldon attacked the Newton Galaxy and asked the Fifth Group Fleet to guard the guards, obviously he was not ready to leave any soup.
The benefits were taken away by others. The Desik Empire had been foolishly fighting for so long, but nothing was taken away. This was unbearable for the entire empire.
Therefore, when he learned that the bandits were coming out in full swing and forced Suss and Jepen fleets to retreat to the airport with a beautiful lightning attack, Annis realized that his chance had come.
This is not only an opportunity for the Desik Empire, but also a great opportunity for Annis to ascend to the throne in the future!
It is true that the bandit army's surprise attack was hidden, with rapid, accurate and ruthless attack principles. It fought beautifully in tactical terms, and strategically, it made the West Joseon coalition forces in the Southeast Star Domain mess up. It played a role in surrounding Wei and saving Zhao. However, if you analyze carefully, this is actually a dangerous move by the bandit army in helplessness!
Annis and Gonzalez, at the same time, leaned their hands on the electronic sand table, staring at the red warship icon representing the eleventh fleet of the bandit army. The two looked at each other, and suddenly felt a little dry.
That is not a bandit fleet, it is a fat prey!
And behind this prey, the Salega Longbow Galaxy is now the only one left Douglas's 19th Group Fleet. It is a more plump prey!
As a commander, if you don’t have a good appetite, you will never achieve great success.
Only by daring to think can you dare to do it.
Annis looked up at Gonzalez, who lit another cigar, sucked hard, sprayed smoke out of his mouth, completely wrapped his head, staring at the sand table without saying a word.
The reason why bandits are sporting a dangerous chess is that war is like playing chess, and they cannot move all the chess pieces at once, or scatter them in one hand, and put all the pieces on the board.
When Feiyang faced the Carlston Galaxy retreating step by step and Chuckner was still desperately gathering the fourth batch of troops to reinforce Resk, the bandits were desperate to invest all their forces in attacking Bermuda, which was not a good time!
At this time, they did not receive support from the Fiji League. On the contrary, in order to win Bermuda as soon as possible, they had to leave Douglas's 19th Group Fleet in the Longbow Galaxy.
With the size of the six A-class fleets of the Desik Fifth Fleet, perhaps it is impossible to eat the bandit army in one bite.
However, Desik has a lot of choice.
Direct reinforcement of the Midway Star and the Rodebia Star can bring together the Suss and Jepen fleets to form an advantage over the bandit army. If there is no direct reinforcement, it can defend the jumping point from Bermuda to the Longbow Galaxy and cut off the bandit army's retreat!
The Sheldon fleet now has entered the end of attacking Newton's jumping point. Perhaps in a few hours, Newton's jumping point will be broken. And the bandits do not know about these.
As long as the Sheldon fleet turns back, the huge force of the twenty-four A-class fleets can be shattered into the cage! By then, not only will the bandits like a thorn on their backs be wiped out, but even the Longbow Galaxy, which the Desik Fifth Fleet attacked several times, was the item in the pocket of the Vanguard!
After this battle, Desik will make a fortune!
If the Fifth Group Fleet sends troops, Suss and the Jeppen people have to give up some of the interests of Bermuda. Desik will also take the main contribution to the Longbow Galaxy, and at least one-third of the interests can be obtained from Sheldon!
Looking at the electronic sand table in front of him, Annis's eyes were bright.
Gonzalez bit the cigar and frowned gently.
This temptation is too great.
Although I don’t know if the enemy has any other moves, as long as you are cautious enough, maybe it can be done!
At worst, please withdraw!
Chapter completed!
