Chapter 1 Marshal Werner

Among the vast and boundless stars, there are stars. A comet with a long tail crossed the sky, lonely and proud.

Six years ago, the Iseras Empire, together with Hilvanst and Telsey, brazenly invaded the Lichma Federation, the largest country in the southwest universe without any warning. In just three months, the powerful Iseras coalition has had four large-scale battles with the Lichma Federation, and countless other small and medium-sized battles. On the federal side, because of the long peaceful life, soldiers lack training, the combat equipment is old and aging, and they will lose every battle. After four battles, the 4th, 5th, 10th, 14th and 15th fleets of the federal army were completely destroyed; the 6th, 12th and 13th fleets surrendered to the enemy; the 3rd, 6th and 11th fleets were severely damaged and retreated to the rear, and a group of senior officials, including the fleet commander, were sent to military court.

After losing one-third of the executive stars, both the federal president and the chief have resigned one after another. The whole country is in chaos, the workers have no intention to work, the soldiers have fled the barracks, the rich quietly transferred their assets to other countries, and the whole federation is like the end of the world.

In this case, the new president, with the support of more than a dozen large consortia, gave orders and cooperated with the military to carry out a series of activities. On the one hand, we will stabilize the domestic situation, on the other hand, vigorously recruit and train regularly; launch national strategic materials, and more than a dozen spacecraft manufacturing companies and mecha manufacturing companies accept military management to fully produce warships, mechas or various weapons and ammunition. Even some small and medium-sized equipment manufacturing companies have done their best to produce some parts.

After the whole national machine started, the long-standing background of the Lichma Federation was revealed. New warships stepped down the production line, and new mechas were sent to the front line. Young men and women who were full of excitement and vowed to drive the invaders out entered the training camp and became soldiers. They were picking up After three months of short-term training, you will be sent to the front line.

At the same time, the Lichma Federation has requested support from several countries that are close to it, including Chutang, through a series of foreign policies. But somehow, these countries remained silent about this, only symbolically sending some aid and condemning the invasion of Ithellas. But in essence, no soldier was sent. It is unknown what it is for.

But diplomatically, the Lichma Federation has also made some achievements. Several countries bordering Lichma very readily signed non-aggression treaties with them, so that the battleships used by the Lichma Federation to defend these countries could be pulled to the front line to fight. They know very well whether they can guarantee that they will not be threatened by Ithelas after the extremely aggressive Iseras occupies the whole territory of the Lichma Federation? Under the sadness of the rabbit's death, they dare not drag Lichima's back at such a critical moment.

Soon, the Lichma Federation reorganized the third, sixth and eleventh former southwestern fleets, plus the first and second fleets guarding the capital area, as well as the eighth and ninth fleets transferred from other aspects, as well as the newly formed sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth fleets. Ten Manchutes, a total of 100,000 warships, went to the front line and stationed in batches.

After these battles, Iceras also needs time to rest. At the same time, it is necessary to digest the occupied administrative planets, so they did not continue to advance for a while. When Lichma saw that the other side did not have the tendency to attack, he decided to recover the lost land. The ten fleets launched a three-way attack on the area occupied by Iselas, but under the near-perfect defense of Ietheras, the Federation did not achieve any results. At the same time, the commander-in-chief of the federal army, the newly appointed Marshal Werner, found many problems in the fleet in several battles, such as insufficient training, etc., so he pulled the fleet back and trained fiercely while defending. From the fleet commander to every soldier, in addition to the necessary defense of the duty fleet, Twenty-four hours a day, except for eating and sleeping, they are training harshly. Many soldiers, including some junior officers, could not stand such harsh training and became deserters.

In anger, Marshal Werner sent the Federal Military Police Service to cooperate with the local police to arrest all the deserters and sentenced them to decades of imprisonment. At the same time, the marshal and the president jointly issued measures to improve the treatment of soldiers, wartime subsidies, etc., and the various fleets strengthened patriotic education and reasoned, which stabilized the soldiers' minds and basically eliminated the occurrence of deserters.

Litchima Federation, Malosena Star.

After the federal counterattack was not effective, Marshal Werner deployed the fleet on the defense line, and the originally unknown Malosena Star, because it was relatively close to the defense line and at the meeting point of several wormholes and traffic arteries, has naturally become the general headquarters of the front line. The cosmic port of the whole planet is full of all kinds of war materials, from food, medicine, quilts to weapons and ammunition, which are continuously transported from the rear to warehouses and sent to the front line after * distribution. In the berth of the space port, almost all the ships docked are all kinds of transport ships and are requisitioned to transport these materials.

The most luxurious hotel in the space port of Malosena was requisitioned by the military and became a temporary headquarters on the front line of operations. Because of the war, the hotel does not have much business, and the government will pay enough fees for this. The hotel does not have too many complaints, and the services it should have not been reduced due to expropriation.

At this time, in an office on the highest floor of the hotel, Werner turned his back to the crowd, looked at the huge three-dimensional star map in front of him, and his eyes kept swimming on the defense line. Werner, who is in his 140s, looks a little old and rickety, but the five golden stars on his shoulders are still shining. Below him stood several officers of different ages, from one to four stars on his shoulders.

For a long time, Werner sighed and looked a little weak.

He turned around and swept through the crowd. All the officers he watched did not dare to look into his eyes and lowered his head slightly.

"Etheras's side is very well defended, and it is also possible that the deployment of the other party cannot be detected. However, the intelligence investigation must not stop. No matter how much effort it takes, we must get their deployment!"

An officer hesitated and said, "But Marshal, we have lost tens of thousands of excellent investigators in the past few months, but we still haven't found any useful information to reduce the number of personnel in this field..."

"Absolutely not!" Marshal Werner stared at him and scolded, "There are clouds in ancient law. Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Even if the detailed deployment of the other party cannot be detected, they must know the movement of their fleet. Otherwise, when the enemy has launched an attack, we will be forced to fight. How can we win this kind of battle?

After a pause, Werner's voice softened a little and said, "I understand that you are worried about the lives of those investigators. I think you also understand how important the role of intelligence is. In war, if we are not careful, we will have to pay the lives of millions or even tens of millions of soldiers. For the benefit of the whole country, we need the efforts of these investigators. Do you understand?"

"I see, Marshal." Although the officer nodded and agreed, he was still a little unhappy in his voice.

Werner took a look at him and whispered, "My little grandson Tom will graduate from the Federal Military Academy in a few months, with excellent grades. At that time, I will ask him to report to your intelligence department..."

The officer was shocked and looked at the old man in front of him in disbelief. Several other officers also showed a shocked look and came forward to dissuade them.

"Marshal!" The officer in charge of intelligence hurriedly said, "This must be done. Tom's grades in school are excellent. Besides, his specialty is also fleet commander. You can't do this."

Werner waved his hand: "I have already decided on this matter, and Tom himself is willing to do it. Don't worry, he will be a good intelligence officer. That's all for this matter. Is there anything else you need to report?

Serious officers looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Oi, let's go back. Remember to train quickly. There is not much time left for us.

The officers saluted together and walked out. Just as they were about to go out, the marshal's communicator suddenly sounded. Hearing this sound, everyone stopped and turned around, looking a little ugly.

Marshal's communication is usually transferred through the secretary. And now it rings directly on the marshal's communicator, which seems to be a very serious thing.

Werner's expression changed, and his right hand pressed on the communicator, and his hands trembled a little. Finally, when he saw the line of words displayed on the screen, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely wonderful.

"Hahaha..." Werner suddenly looked up and smiled for a minute.

Several officers looked at each other and didn't know what Werner saw. Just as he was about to ask, Werner looked excited and shouted, "Good news, what good news! Notice, today is a holiday. Except for the duty fleet, everyone will have extra meals and have a day off... Well, half a day off, normal training in the morning, afternoon off, and return to normal at 7 p.m.

Subsequently, except for the two deputy commanders and chiefs of staff, everyone left the office full of doubts.

Chief of Staff Otto* quickly closed the door and couldn't wait to ask, "Marshal, has Chu Tang sent troops?"

Seeing Werner nodding gently, he said with a smile, "That's good. Just now, the fleet of the Chutang Empire passed the Kingdom of Keira and entered the border of our country..."
