Chapter 23 News

The preparations for the Filipino coalition forces in the Alxa Fortress were underway in a tense and orderly manner.

Although Hastings' forced disbanding of the upper house of the Union Parliament has attracted a lot of criticism, what has been received is that the combat preparations have been carried out unexpectedly smoothly.

Without the restraint of the alliance parliament, the Supreme Command and the Supreme Command cooperated uninterruptedly. The orders issued were unimpeded. Whether it was the dispatch of troops or materials, whether it was personnel appointments or procurement plans, they could be implemented as soon as possible.

The atmosphere of the Filipino alliance became vigorous with the heads of major allies' agreement on this fait accompli and the consensus reached at the supreme military meetings held one after another.

In Alxa, a large amount of supplies come from major star fields every day. It only took two days to mobilize supplies that could only be completed in a week.

Even though the Allied Command temporarily added 300 quarantine officers, the logistics department was busy. Many logistics officers had just received a batch of supplies and guided a giant transport ship into the port. After receiving a list of long queues of transport ships applying for the waterway, reporting materials, and requesting a dock or waiting for loading and unloading of goods.

In addition to the logistics department, other departments are also like fighting.

The personnel department processes the resume information of thousands of officers every day, talks with hundreds of officers, and issues thousands of transfer orders, applications and confirmation letters.

Engineers in the technical support department face a battle every day as soon as they open their eyes. In their work plan, they are full of Skynet systems that require joint communication between fleets of various countries, need to install and modify electronic instruments, need to update synchronization procedures, and need to troubleshoot problems... Even if they eat, they are guarding in front of the instruments of the warships.

In the Alxa Fortress, what you can see every day are the soldiers of various countries who are rushing around. They are the ground staff who are waving their cursors and flags in their hands to command transport ships and fighter planes. They are the mechanics who drive data detection vehicles and have automatic maintenance arms on their arms, and they are the staff members of various countries who are waving by the sides of the passage in a floating car.

Men, women, women, young and old, everyone ran as fast as possible. Every automatic door was opened and closed at the fastest frequency. Every port, every berth, every base, every warehouse and conference room were busy working people. As the fleets and transport fleets of various Filipino member states arrived at the Alexander Galaxy and joined the Allied combat sequence, the entire Alexander Command became a high-speed operation machine.

However, despite being busy, the Allied Army officers and soldiers were in a very happy mood. In their opinion, the Fei Alliance now truly looked like a military cooperative organization. The companions around us now really looked like a group of soldiers preparing for battle! The former Fei Alliance coalition was not so much a military force as a beast trapped in his hands and feet.

Those intriguing political struggles, those groups that only care about their own interests, those outdated ideas, those procrastination styles and rigid systems are like invisible ropes that are invisible but are wrapped in a slight tangle, which often makes people angry and helpless.

An unquestionable personnel transfer order requires more than 30 chapters, wandering between dozens of departments and spending half a month. A material supplement plan, from application to delivery of materials, is absolutely impossible to complete in a week. Shifting responsibility, procrastination, embezzlement, infringement, dereliction of duty - the bad nature of a person is fully exposed in this old and confusion.

In such an environment, all your ambitions will be wiped out!

Now, all this has finally been changed. Seeing the same army and a military alliance under the control of that iron-fisted hand, looking at the same place in Alxa, the same people's spirit and work style were also chatting and discussing in private. At this time, we slowly smacked our lips, as if we had just come back to the taste.

"Hissings has ordered the Fyyang Army to draw another Double-Head Eagle Fleet and two First-Level Group Fleets from Hydefield to join the Allied Operations Sequence within a week."

In the cuckoo cafe in the Fortress of Axa, General Lyon Uris of the Republic of Ryan gently stirred the coffee in his hand, and his dark blue eyes slightly faced Lieutenant General Ales Marcia, said: "It seems that Marshal Hastings is preparing to gather more than 500 A-class fleets within three months to fight Sauber to the death."

It is the tea time on weekdays, but there are very few people in the cafe. When everyone is so busy that it is already a luxury to walk into the cafe and have a cup of tea.

Admiral Uris sat on the edge of the circular terrace extending from the plum-shaped cafe. The transparent dome and the surrounding ground-to-ceiling portholes did not activate armor protection in a non-war state. At first glance, the sky was filled with bright stars. The nebula in the distance was like burning, and the nearby Aksa star was like a giant ball surrounded by mist, which was particularly beautiful.

The Aksa Fortress, which is full of metallic luster, is like a huge wheel, lying across space. Countless FiMeng warships and transport ships are cruising around like fish. They either just retreated and left the fortress, or ended their transitions in the waterway from a distance, and flew towards the port entrance they applied for along the laser signposts launched by the waterway floating tower.

"To be honest, I'm a little worried."

Lieutenant General Machia, known as the new generation of talented generals of the Ryan Republic and emerged in two beautiful battles in the previous wars, said while rubbing his signature linen hair.

The slightly curly hair that reaches the ears makes this young man with a high nose bridge and concave eyes look more like an artist than a commander.

His face was solemn, and his blue eyes were somewhat distracted at the liquid in the coffee cup: "The first fleet to move south must be divided into three waves due to the different preparations. There are only fifty fleets that can set off south immediately within a week. Fortunately, the fleet behind will be able to set off smoothly in the next two weeks."

As he said that, he turned his head and stared out the window, his eyes becoming more and more confused: "In addition to the two-headed Eagle Group fleet drawn from Hydefield and the two FYAN First-class Fleets that have just arrived, there are only 130 A-class fleets in Alxa. The gathering of more than 300 fleets later is already the limit of the FYAN League."

He turned around and looked at General Uris with serious eyes: "General, with such a small amount of troops, can we really win the decisive battle of Lere?"

There was silence in the cafe.

Admiral Uris held a small coffee spoon in his big hand and stirred it in the cup. After a long time, he sighed: "We all know that the current difficulties facing the Fei Alliance is facing. The channel is not smooth, the time is insufficient, the preparation is hasty, and the troops are not enough. Moreover, everyone understands that the troops that Sober can mobilize are not just the fleets he currently leads to the south......"

"Based on our analysis of the forces of Sijo," Lieutenant General Machia said anxiously: "If Sober needs it, he can at least draw the same number of fleets from the major war zones!"

"We all know these..." General Uris always stopped the meaningless little movements in his hands, raised his head and looked at Lieutenant General Machia with bright eyes, "You said, can you not know about His Excellency Hastings?"

"Care will cause chaos!" Lieutenant General Machia said angrily: "I don't know why, but Lord Hastings is too fond of the bandit army. Not to mention that he used allied funds to equip the bandit army with the twelve generation mechas, just saying that this time the Fei Alliance fight, General Li Fo ran away angrily, which has a lot to do with his spare no effort to cover up Tian Xingjian!"

The young lieutenant general leaned on the back of the chair, raised his chin slightly, revealing a subconscious and stubborn attitude: "Even if the God of War makes such a mistake, it is unforgivable!"

"Your tone is very similar to your resourceful friend Takashi Fujii," Admiral Uris smiled slightly. "I'm afraid you have never discussed this in private about His Excellency Hastings's practices."

"I'm not hiding it with General, I'm also very troubled about this," Lieutenant General Marcia hesitated for a moment and said, "Perhaps because of General Leefo, many of the officers in the Ryan military had complained about Marshal Hastings's insistence on focusing his strategic focus on the Southeast. After all, if it weren't for General Leefo, Ryan might have been ruined in Banning's hands."

He relaxed his stiff body, smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "Actually, I don't agree with everyone's resistance. After all, General Liver arrived at Ryan because of the orders of Marshal Hastings. But what everyone can't understand is why the Lerei Federation has clearly become unsuspected and still has to fight this battle..."

Speaking of this, Machia's face became extremely solemn: "You must know that according to the intelligence, the vanguard commander of Sijo is probably Banning. Whether from the perspective of military strength or command, the bandit army cannot resist Sijo's attack. It will only take one or two weeks to give up the Lere Channel. Besides, there are also Yuren Sankami to block the Allied forces from moving south. No matter how time is calculated, it is not enough!"

"If we can put our troops into the Central War Zone at this time, and restrain the VAT from the other direction, and at the same time, temporarily release the untimely final victory and the stalemate against Suss and Jepen, and form a stalemate in Resk, we will have much greater room for us. If we are eager for quick success and instant benefits, even if Marshal Hastings leads, we will likely gain an unbearable defeat! As far as the current situation is concerned, once the main forces of the Allied forces are lost, the entire battle situation will be out of control."

He finally looked at General Uris' eyes and asked word by word: "Is it worth it to put the strength we can gather into the battle situation in the Southeast, and if we are not prepared enough, it is worth it to implement a strategic decisive battle?"

Uris didn't answer. After a long time, he shook his head gently: "I can't give you an answer to your question."

Lieutenant General Machia looked gloomy with an expectant look.

"The reason is," General Uris raised his head and said seriously: "I am not the God of War Hastings!"

Machia looked at Uris in confusion, pointed his finger out the window, and said to himself: "Did you see these fleets? Compared with the past, what changes have been made in the current Filipino coalition?"

Marcia was silent for a moment and said, "War cannot be carried out completely in a democratic way. History has proved that war is always a game for a few elites. The current changes in the Filipino coalition are due to the forced disbandment of the Alliance Parliament by Marshal Hastings. We never deny this. We are soldiers, not politicians."

"Just just because of forcibly disbanding the parliament?" General Uris narrowed his eyes: "Do you, when you think back now, don't you realize how all this happened?"

Machia stared out the window, thinking.

"The Filipino paid a heavy price because of the pre-war carelessness. At that time, everyone said that the war would not break out, and even Marshal Hastings could not reverse the situation. With the ropes that the parliament and the government were tied around the neck, the soldiers of the democratic countries would never be able to prepare for a war independently!"

Admiral Uris stood up and walked to the porthole.

"When our arms plan and procurement budget were rejected again and again, the war broke out. In the early stages of the war, we could only passively be beaten. We could only watch the fleet that had been armed to the teeth, rushed into our country, slaughtered our unprepared soldiers, and annihilated the fleet that we had never thought of fighting!"

"At that time, Marshal Hastings remained silent. He did not command any battle except for strategic deployment. While everyone was watching him, he delegated his power to the hands of the Alliance, the generals who had not experienced much baptism of war."

Uris looked into the distance: "I didn't understand at that time, but now, I understand."

"If there was no silence of the marshal, there would be no rebirth of the Fei Alliance. If we were still fighting under his protection at that time, then when his illness spreads to the Fei Alliance, we would have collapsed!"

He turned his head and looked at Machia: "As soldiers, have you ever thought about this old and rigid alliance, besides those politicians, who is preventing us from devoted ourselves to this war?"

"There are also the arrogance and conceit of the soldiers," said Lieutenant General Machia: "There are also the greed and stupidity of the chaebols and interest groups."

"Since you can see these things clearly, how can you not see that the reason why Your Excellency Hastings is silent is to make us understand our situation, to let us grow, to expose all the things that hinder us, and to remove them in the end?"

General Uris's voice was ironic: "Let Li Fo, who is ambitious and has been swept too deeply with the interest groups, leave and disband the upper house of the Union Parliament, which is the last blow of the Marshal for the Alliance!"

Marchia was silent, looking at the Ferry Fleet outside the window, recalling Hastings' step-by-step approach, suddenly, he felt moved.

"But, the Southeast war situation..." Machia still couldn't figure it out.

"I said, I'm not Lord Hastings, I don't know what he is thinking," Uris smiled slightly and said, "But I'm sure he is absolutely not confused. His vision, judgment, control, and his foresight are still at the peak. He must have his reasons for doing this!"

A ringtone rang and Uris answered the call.

Machia shook his head with a wry smile. He admitted Yuris's judgment, but for him and the other officers, they still couldn't let go of Hastings' strategy of moving south.

Just like a fish in the water, you can never imagine what the eagle in the sky can see.

"Tell you a message..." Uris put down the phone, was stunned for a moment, said something, and then stopped.

"What?" asked Machia curiously.

"The bandits have wiped out the advance fleet used by Siego to open the way, and lured twelve Siego reinforcements," Yuris sighed, "At present, they have attacked the Desic Metis galaxy."

Machia opened her mouth foolishly, stunned.
