Chapter 126 Crisis on the Southern Front
Dreves Level 1* was once the senior officer of the Lichma Federal Army and served as the deputy commander-in-chief and commander of the Third Fleet in the Erie War. After the war, in the ensuing federal secession, he was persuaded by Liang Zecheng and others to join the Berwick Republic. At first, Dravis was not trusted, but he did not fight for power. While silently doing his job well, he rarely participated in Berwick's political and military planning meetings, and spent most of the time with his lover. Later, at the suggestion of Qi Daoxue and Liang Zecheng, he really became a senior member of Berwick's military and was appointed commander of Berwick's Fourth Fleet.
Dreves is very talented. During his tenure as fleet commander, his Fourth Fleet was the best in Berwick's fleets in terms of training and combat ability. And he defeated the commanders of other fleets in many simulation battles. Although he was finally defeated by Qi Daoxue, Qi Daoxue was a marshal and a convincing commander of Berwick's fleet commanders, so although Dravis was defeated, he gradually gained the trust of Qi Daoxue. In this war against Iseland, Qi Daoxue resolutely appointed Dravis as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Front Legion.
In the command room, the commanders of Dravies and the other two fleets are meeting.
"I think we should use the Fourth Fleet and the Fifth Fleet against the three fleets of Iseras, and the Eighth Fleet against the two fleets of Mayland. Only in this way can we fight evenly against the enemies before and after.
Another commander also nodded and agreed to his proposal.
Dreves thought for a little and shook his head and said, "I'm against it. In this way, we will not be able to gain an advantage on any battlefield. The battle will fall into a stalemate, and we will lose a lot at the same time.
"Does the commander-in-chief have any good suggestions?"
Dreyvis said: "First of all, we don't know whether there are three or four Iseras fleets that appeared on the front line. Don't forget that the intelligence shows that the 22nd Fleet of Iseras is stationed not far from the southern front. With Douglas's character, he will definitely join the 22nd Fleet to the battlefield of the southern front. If the enemy uses four fleets, the strength of the Fourth Fleet and the Fifth Fleet alone may be undefeated, but I estimate that the loss rate will be at least 30% after the battle. And colleagues, the enemy will also find the secrets of the new warships of the Fourth Fleet and the Fifth Fleet.
"So!" His voice suddenly raised: "We must use all our military strength to give the enemy a fatal blow before they react! Even if Iseras has four fleets, I believe that we, with new warships and Wumu-class warships, will definitely defeat them fiercely!"
Dreves's mood is high, with a strong murderous spirit, which can easily drive the feelings of others.
The other two commanders looked at each other and were a little moved.
"But, Commander, we still have two Maynland fleets behind us. Although the combat effectiveness of the two fleets is extremely low, we can't ignore it.
Dreves nodded and said, "I know what you mean. You may not know that Lord Yunyi is coming at high speed with his secret troops and is expected to arrive here in about two hours. That is to say, we only need to block the Mayneland Fleet for two hours! Therefore, I plan to send two squadrons of the Fourth Fleet to resist the Mayneland Fleet!"
"Cloud wings?" A commander didn't know who he was and asked.
"Two squadrons?" Another commander was surprised by Dreves's adventure: "The two squadrons have only 3,000 warships. Although they are new warships, the number of enemies is 30,000."
"Lord Yunyi's identity is a secret in the empire. You just need to believe that he has the ability to defeat the Mayland Fleet." Dreves said lightly, recalling the young man with a young face who was still a little young. Although he knew some of Yunyi's identities, he was not very clear. It was not until he gained the trust of Qi Daoxue and joined the core of the Restoration Society that he knew how great the young man was.
"As for whether 3,000 warships can block the enemy's army." He said slowly, "I believe in my soldiers, and please believe in the warriors of our empire."
The two commanders looked at each other again and nodded to Dravis. These two commanders were both from the top of Qi Daoxue's pirate fleet. They were regarded as Qi Daoxue's people. Before they came here, they were ordered by Qi Daozhi to obey the leadership of Dreves and strictly implement his orders.
This is also because Qi Daoxue is worried that she will disobey Dreves' orders if she sends other fleets.
"Then, get ready to fight!" Dravis smiled easily, as if the six fleets appeared before and after were just a pile of rotten wood. He shouted, "For the empire, for the queen, let's go!"
......
At this time, Yunyi was still worried about the inexplicably disappeared Mayland fleet.
"It is reasonable that there is neither the Berik fleet nor any important military targets there. What is Mayland's fleet doing there?"
Yunyi kept thinking about various possibilities.
Beside him, the bear also held his head and thought, "Yes, Dad, what do you think they are doing there? There are no wormholes over there that can go directly..."
"Wait!"
Yunyi jumped up from the seat and shouted, "Vimphole! Yes, there must be an undisclosed wormhole there! Yes, they must have reached the goal of reaching the high speed through the wormhole! Bear, how long will it take for us to reach the AC-T901 Nebula?
The bear immediately replied, "About one hour and forty-three minutes. Boss, do you need to start the engine overload state?
Yun Yi thought for a while and tapped on the keyboard with both hands. A moment later, he said, "Run the engine in this way. Overload the engine by 140 percent every ten minutes for three minutes, which will not cause too much damage to the engine!
"Yes, boss!"
......
"This is impossible!"
In the command room, Dravies suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at the screen in disbelief. On the other two screens, the commanders of the Fifth Fleet and the Eighth Fleet also showed shock.
Before that, Draves sent the two most defensive and maneuvering squadrons of the Fourth Fleet to contain the distant Mayland Fleet. The remaining 42,000 warships formed the most suitable front formation for assault, ready to launch the most violent attack on the Iseras fleet.
However, when they were ready and all the officers and soldiers were ready to start the first stop of the destruction of the country, the countless dense fleets appeared in front of them made everyone look at all this unbelievably.
In front of them are not the three fleets on the southern defense front of Ise, nor the four that have joined the 22nd Fleet, but a huge army with a total of 135,000 warships of nine fleets! The black warships rushed out of the nebula, like ferocious and hungry beasts, roaring towards the southern front legion.
Relying on the new warship, Dravis has never worried about the Southern Defense Fleet of Iseras. He can easily destroy the three fleets. Even if there are four or five fleets, he will not worry at all.
But now, there are nine fleets in front of him!
"The sixth, seventh and eighth fleets of the southern defense front, as well as the mobile 22nd fleet; the 11th fleet stationed in the south of Iseras, which is the Lidler family who rejected Zagula's bidder; and the 12th, 13th, 18th and 21st fleets, which... This is the Central Defense Front of Iseras The enemy fleet. Have they given up their defense against the middle line?
The commander of the Eighth Fleet said in a daze, with unspeakable doubts in his voice.
Dreves stared at the overwhelming warship and said slowly, "It seems that the legion among us has been tricked by them. If I guess correctly, I'm afraid we have lost communication with the outside world now.
As soon as his words fell, the officer in charge of communication ran over and said nervously, "Your Excellency, external communication has been disturbed, and this place has completely lost its connection with the interstellar network."
Dreves waved his hand to signal the officer to retreat.
Then, he sorted out his military uniform, gently stroked the general star on his shoulder, and said indifferently, "I believe that Marshal Qi can find the enemy's mobilization in the shortest time, which is an excellent opportunity for the empire. As long as we can drag the enemy here, the middle-line army, whether going north or south, or even directly attacking the enemy's capital, will be barrier-free.
He picked up the red wine next to him and smiled on his handsome face: "We have won this war."
The two commanders looked at him in a frenze, but soon they understood what Dreves meant.
At the same time, they laughed and picked up their glasses: "Want victory!"
"Want to victory!"
The three drank the wine in the glass at the same time and smashed the glass to the ground fiercely.
Dreves laughed and said, "Brothers, victory belongs to us. The future belongs to the empire and her Majesty! Fight, even if you die, let the Ethelans know that our Fourth Fleet, Fifth Fleet and Eighth Fleet are by no means meat on their cutting board, but real hungry wolves!"
The commander of the Fifth Fleet also roared, "Go ahead, kill one enough, kill two to earn one, for the empire, rush!"
The Eighth Fleet is not willing to lag behind: "Brothers, take out your blood and don't forget the days when we robbed the border, and you are not allowed to lose my marshal! Eighth Fleet, charge!"
They know that this battle cannot be won in the face of an enemy nearly four times their own.
They also know that Douglas's shield is no longer the cautious and steady character he used to be. Mobilizing a large number of fleets is to take risks. If you want to succeed, you must completely annihilate Berwick's three fleets. Therefore, even if they want to run, they have no chance.
Instead of being chased and run away by the enemy, it is better to fight to the death and firmly contain it here to create opportunities for the middle-line army.
Even if you die, you must be firmly nailed here like a nail!
