Chapter 37 The Victory of the Federation
Tracking, infiltrating, stabbing, fighting, withdrawing. With a high degree of mental tension, even Yunyi feels a little tired. After returning to the spacecraft, Yunyi found that the federal fleet was still near South Euste, so he decided to take a rest first and make plans after the federal fleet left.
However, he did not expect that the volcanic eruption at the bottom of the sea attracted the close attention of the warring parties preparing for a war.
Due to the attack of the federal army's South Eist Star, personnel from various detection agencies on the planet hid and did not find it. The first to discover the volcanic eruption was the mecha team sent by Lin Yiqing to search for Yunyi.
They followed the direction of Yunyi's departure, all the way from the mainland to the ocean, searching for his trace in the place where Yunyi finally disappeared. However, in an instant, more than a dozen mechas found the explosion of energy in the depths of the sea at the same time, which made them change their colors.
The cloud wings disappeared here, which is very likely to go underwater. Perhaps something was found underwater and there was no time to report it. Now that the volcano has erupted under the sea, and the geological research institutes on South Euste have not detected the signs and records of the possible eruption of this volcano, there is only one possibility that the volcano was artificially detonated.
After passing the news to Lin Yiqing, he sat in the command chair and was silent for a while.
After a long time, he waved his hand and said, "I understand. Go back."
Ise la si' army is coming, and Lin Yiqing will not be distracted by this kind of thing. Only after the end of the war and a detailed inspection there may be able to find out what happened at the beginning.
At the same time, the remnants of Ietheras in South Uist also got the news and quickly transmitted it to Zagu, who was marching towards South Uist. After reading this information, Zagu's face did not change much and quickly issued an order. The fleet turned around and disappeared among the long stars without reaching South East. Zagu walked very quickly and secretly, and the federal intelligence agencies were too backward to find this situation at all. As a result, the 3rd, 11th, 16th and 21st fleets, including Lin Yiqing, were still waiting in front of them and did not notice that Zagu's fleet had left.
In Jinchaokou, the three semi-damaged former Jinchaokou fleet, under the command of Otto's first-class*, biting nearly 30,000 enemy ships behind the enemy's palace. Yang Tiexin's 20 fleet is like a hungry wolf, wandering on the edge of the range of the enemy fleet, attacking quickly and fiercely at every opportunity. Every attack can bite a large piece of meat fiercely. When the 1st and 2nd fleets led by Marshal Werner arrived at the Golden Tide, there were less than 5,000 warships left by Douglas.
Seeing that the general trend was gone, Douglas led the remaining 5,000 warships to surrender to Marshal Werner.
The three fleets led by Otto, who was responsible for the defense of Jinchaokou, had less than 12,000 left after this battle. Werner quickly asked Otto to collect the fleet, take care of the surrender fleet, and clean up the battlefield and rescuers. Then, the 1st and 2nd fleets led by Werner, as well as the 20th Fleet, which did not have much loss, quickly marched towards South East Star.
However, when they arrived in South Eist, they saw several pending federal fleets.
The main fleet of Iceras has completely disappeared.
Although it did not kill the Iraqi emperor and his main fleet, there is no doubt that it was a major victory. In this battle, the Federation paid the lives of 1.6 million soldiers and the loss of nearly 30,000 warships. It not only successfully blocked the overall attack of the Iraqi army, but also fought back the enemy's base camp on the front line, South East, destroyed 31,000 enemy warships, and captured 8,4,700.
The news of the victory quickly spread to the morning star of the federal capital. After seeing it, the president, who had been anxiously waiting for the war report, actually cried like a child. Then, after polishing and exaggeration, the news spread throughout the Federation and several surrounding countries under the impetus of the government. Suddenly, the whole country celebrated, and people took to the streets to celebrate.
Several surrounding countries looked at all this in surprise. In their estimation, even if the Federation successfully defended the Iraqi army's attack, it would only win tragically. But it was unbelievable that Zagu's main fleet would disappear at the last moment.
The most unbelievably thing is that with the title of "Water Shield of Thorn", General Douglas, Zagu's loyal dog, surrendered to the federal army!
Etheras's decree is extremely cruel. Unlike other countries, they can redeem them with heavy money or exchange prisoners politically. As long as it is surrendered, Iceras will regard him as a traitor. For Zagu, there were only Itheras soldiers who died in the battle, and there were no Ithelas soldiers who surrendered.
Does Douglas' surrender indicate that Iseras is no longer as powerful as when he rose up, and the Federation can successfully recover all the lost land?
Military commentators from various countries have expressed their views. Although their views are not unified, in summary, there are three main problems that led to the defeat of the Iraqi army.
First. Douglas shouldn't be so stupid to the federal people. A fleet of 20,000 warships and 30,000 scrapped warships was used to contain the defenders of the federal Tabesena, but it was recognized by the federal people, which led to the attack of the old nest behind.
Second. Zagu should not regard South Uist as so important. If Zagu's army did not withdraw at that time, but fought a war with the Federation in Jinchaokou, even if the Federation won, it would have been a tragic victory.
Third. Zagu should not have withdrawn the main fleet at the last minute. If Zagu does not withdraw, whether it is to go to South Eist or return to support Douglas, the final outcome may change. After all, the combat effectiveness of Zagu's royal fleet is very strong, and with the support of 40,000 warships from the other three fleets, Ith is not necessarily defeated.
Of course, what critics see is always superficial.
In fact, during Tabusena's defensive battle, if Yunyi hadn't found the enemy's tricks and the fear of the federal army against the Iraqi army, he wouldn't know how long it would take. As soon as Zagu heard that South Uist was captured, the first question he thought of was not how to defeat the Federation, but that the secret base of the Dragon Slayer must not be found! If it is discovered by the federal army, the dragon slaughter will never admit it, and Zagu will become the scapegoat of this secret.
There are some things in the base, and Zagu is clear. As long as the news of this robot is leaked, Ietheras is bound to be jointly attacked by countless countries, and even the support of the Dragon Slayer will not help.
Therefore, South Uyst is even more important in Zagu's mind than winning this battle.
Later, after Zagu learned of the eruption, he immediately guessed that it should have been the Dragon Slayer who destroyed the underground base. However, at this time, no matter which way he takes the fleet, the final situation will be difficult to change. Instead, it is better to retain your strength. With the support of the Dragon Slayer, it is not difficult to make a comeback.
As for Douglas, Zagu felt a little sorry and sad when he first gave up on him. Later, when he heard that Douglas had surrendered, Zaguton felt very angry and immediately issued a wanted notice for Douglas at the suggestion of the Prime Minister.
The battle ended like this.
The next stage belongs to the federal army. Their army will go deep into the enemy-occupied area, recover all the lost land, and drive the Iseras back to their hometown.
The federal army gathered in South Eist has reached a huge number of more than 70,000 warships since Marshal Werner arrived. Yunyi looked at the dense light spots on the screen feebly and moaned, "Why did Zagu run away? Now that so many people are gathered here, how can I drive the boat away?"
The voice of [Sakura] sounded: "Lord Oracle, if you want to leave the spacecraft in this case, the possibility of being found is 99.993245%"
Yunyi shook his head helplessly.
"It's too boring to talk to this kind of artificial intelligence. Forget it, it seems that the federal army will not leave for a while. Let's count the harvest, and I'd better meet the fleet first. Otherwise, the commander will definitely be worried."
Thinking of this, Yunyi shouted, "Sakura, show me the list of materials loaded."
"Yes, Lord of the Oracle."
A moment later, a long list of materials appeared on the screen, which were moved from the base by the [Sakura] command robot. Yunyi smiled and was about to check it carefully when suddenly [Sakura] sounded.
"Lord Oracle, the rebellious vice god of Aquarius has woken up. How to deal with it?"
