Chapter 20 In February 2064, the situation of the war became even more treacherous with the dizzying array of deployments between the Filipino Alliance and the Western Covenant around the southeast star field.As early as 2059, when Gacharin invaded the Lelei Federation, the southeast star field was once the focus of attention of people in the whole universe.War broke out here, and the two major military alliances were at loggerheads in the Supreme Council of Mankind because of this war, and the surrounding member states of the Western and Filipino alliances were also in tension.The mood at that time was completely different from this moment.At that time, people just talked about it after dinner.Some people shook their heads at the ferocity of the Gachalin Empire, and some applauded the Lelei Federation for finally gaining a foothold in Milok.Most people don't see the meaning behind this war.No one can connect the war between two small countries, tens of thousands, or even millions of light-years away, to their own lives.A few years have passed, and when people once again focus on the Southeast Star Field, they find that their lives have changed a lot because of the war that broke out in 2059.The flames of war have already spread to the entire interstellar territory of mankind.The once prosperous city has been reduced to ruins.The streets of the city, which were once neat and clean, were nothing but black mud mixed with blood, except for the blackened trees that had been burned in the fire, and the dust, cement blocks, broken bricks, and glass shards scattered on the ground.There seems to be a foul smell in the air forever.When the hot wind in summer or the snowy wind in winter blows through the city, it is no longer the dresses and hair of the fair girls who are flying, and it is no longer the giggling laughter of the children who are having snowball fights.The wind shook the tattered billboards, brushed the thick dust from the wreckage of the roadside flying car, and passed through the charred ruins.Every city enveloped in war resounded with the same whimper in the wind.It was the sound of the wind, and the voice of the ragged, hungry and cold.Even cities that did not survive the war have become increasingly dilapidated as the war progresses.Many countries have experienced the Great Depression because of the war.Prices are skyrocketing, necessities are scarce, factories are closing, and workers are unemployed.Everything that people could not have imagined in 2059 took only a short time to come to them.I don't know when it started, everything that can be sold in the family has been sold.I don't know when they got the dismissal notice and started running every day to survive.I don't know when it started, a standard energy block has risen to a price that they can't afford to sell even after half a year of hard work!
Elderly people queue up to receive food at relief points, and middle-aged people leave their spacious, brightly lit offices to work fourteen hours a day in dimly lit underground factories.Deprived of their ideals, young people stepped out of school and onto the battlefield.When they closed their eyes forever on the battlefield filled with gunsmoke and murderous sounds, many of them were just children who had never experienced anything.Everything revolves around war.When there is only one kind of expectation in life, and there is only one thing worth paying attention to, you can imagine how many people's eyes are focused on the southeast star field in this early spring of 2064!
The people, whether it is the Western Covenant or the Filipino League, stand in front of the television every day, paying attention to the war zone that is far away, but at the moment in their minds more important than the war at their doorstep.A few years of war have been enough to make ordinary people, who are the most ignorant of military affairs, become experts when it comes to the war situation.Even if many of their views are just nonsense of a group of confused guys in the eyes of real military experts, everyone has to admit that these people see one thing very clearly and thoroughly.That is, no matter how the northern theater of operations, the southern theater or the western theater is fought, the most critical place in this war is between the two superpowers of Binarte and Feiyan, or between the Republic of Chakna in the second tier, the Republic of Lane and the Seuss Empire, the Jeppen Empire, and the Naga Federation.If there is one point that the famous generals and staff officers of the defense departments and military headquarters of various countries have a surprisingly consistent opinion with ordinary people after repeated deliberations, it is undoubtedly the Southeast Star Domain, the not-so-famous small and medium-sized country Leray Democratic Federation, played a key role in this war.If you look at it a few years ago, people's impression of this country may have been that of a war, a democratic country that was inextricably linked to the Gacharin Empire.At that time, people never thought about how long the country would be able to hold out in the war, or rather, everyone did not care about it.After all, the Leray Commonwealth of Democracies is just a name.Except for some people who have traveled to this country, the rest of the people have only seen the highlights of the three star fields, five galaxies and twelve immigrant stars on the southeast edge of the interstellar plan.They don't know who the president of the Federation of Le Ray is, they don't know who the famous generals are in Le Ray, they don't know the color of the country's uniforms, and they don't know what happened in the battles that were so short that they were only one sentence long in the news.They only focus on their own country, and only on figures like Hastings of Fiyan, Sauber of Binart, Yuto Mikami of Jeppen, Banning and Lever of Naga, and Qian Berlin.However, as the war progressed, they found that they did not know when, and they had set their sights on the Leray Federation.They knew about the many battles of this small country that was attacked by several Western powers, the capture of Emperor Gachalin, the coup d'état of Le Ray and the suicide of President Hamilton, the student Tian Xingjian of Russell, and the bandit army that came out of nowhere!
The wheels of war, no matter where they go, seem to be inseparable from the Le Ray Federation.Whether it was Chuckner or Fei Yang, the core of the Fijian League was unwittingly transferred to the militia unit known as the bandit army.Many people don't know what the bandits are doing in the Ryske system in Chacna, or about the bloody night and the tumultuous presidential election that took place in the capital of Fiyan, Heidfeld.But this did not prevent them from knowing the strong support of the two marshals, Hastings and Li Cunxin, against the bandit army, and it did not prevent them from getting the news of Leray's victory and Sober's southward departure.The war, after going around in circles, is back to square one.The reason for the collision between the two sides was to fight for the central passage of Leray.But unlike when Gachalin invaded the Federation of Lelei, this time it was Sauber who led the Western Coalition to Leray.But in front of Sober were bandits.and the Filipino coalition led by Hastings, who did not hesitate to dissolve the upper house of the Union Parliament and forcibly pass a resolution to go south.The game between the two sides, even a fool can see it clearly at this time.It's going to be a big showdown!
No one could stop the outbreak of this war.Countless fleets of Filipino and Western Covenants will be like two angry bulls, slamming straight into each other, stabbing their opponents into the body with sharp and strong horns until blood splatters.The battle doesn't end once it starts.Both sides will do their best to devote all the forces they can muster.Until one of the two sides falls from exhaustion, or the Sijlos open the central passage of Leray and sweep north through Chacna, or let the Chacner kill Seuss and Jeppen and force the two ambitious nations out of the war!
Although in the Central Theater of Operations, the Binarte Imperial fleet has already invaded Fiyan proper, and the battle between the Naga Federation and the Republic of Lane has also entered a white-hot phase of desperate blood.But every general and staff officer who deduced and analyzed in front of the electronic sand table, and every ordinary civilian who shouted loudly at the wine table, decided that the center of the storm was in the Leray Federation!
This battle is a choice of fate, and it is the inevitability of the situation all the way to the present, and it is not subject to anyone's will!
Whoever wins, takes the initiative!
Let's fight!
The war has been going on so far, and there will always be such a ruthless one.People are tired of the tug-of-war between you and me, and instead of living this kind of life with no future in sight, it is better to let the black and oppressive clouds shine a glimmer of light after the earth-shattering lightning and thunder storm.This kind of depressing days is driving people crazy.If it drags on like this, it will collapse without fighting in the end.Now that the leaders of the two major military alliances have rolled up their sleeves and gone into battle shirtless, what is there to hesitate about the little brother who has already killed the red-eyed brother?
Not to mention that in distant Lelei, even if it is at his own doorstep, he is willing to fight this battle, who is afraid of who is a grandson!
Such ideas exist not only among the general population, but also at the top of countries.In the case of the victory or defeat of the two major alliances, both the member states of Spain and the member countries of the Filipino League have all mobilized.By the time the Sober army departed, the dispatch order from the headquarters of the Western coalition forces had already reached the military headquarters of the member states.And after Hastings dissolved the upper house of the coalition parliament of the Philippine Alliance, the representatives of the lower house have already sent the most serious message to the country - Hastings's requisition order is definitely not a joke.In this era, no country can fight alone from its own military alliances.This is especially true for the member states of other theaters of operations outside the southeast and center.Whether it is the Western Treaty or the Filipino Alliance, several major member states are concentrated in the central and eastern regions, and most of the other regions are small and medium-sized countries, and occasionally a few powerful big countries are also restrained by neighboring countries, and the forces of the two sides are intertwined.No matter how lively the fight is, it is useless.Once the central and eastern parts are decided, blow to this side, and the wind will have to change.Standing on their own boats, they can only help each other in the same boat.The Republic of Fiyan and the Binarte Empire were able to preserve their strength at the beginning of the war, which these countries could not.By this time, everything that needs to be taken out will have to be taken out!
For a time, the interstellar passage was densely packed with warships, and the undercurrents of the two camps were turbulent.On the night of February 8, the general of the Naga Federation, Lavilla.
Banning, led the Western Advance Fleet to the Desik Empire, and joined up with the Western Allied Fleet stationed in Desik, with a total strength of sixty A-class fleets!
On the same day, a large Allied fleet appeared in the A3 public galaxy of the Makek Southwest Passage in Desik.Under the sudden attack of these fleets of Fyan and Chakner, the Western fleet, which was responsible for defending the waterway, suffered heavy casualties and was forced to retreat towards Desik.Along the way, public galaxies and shipping lanes fell into the hands of the Fijian League.On February 9th, Banning woke up to receive a battle report about the A3 public galaxy, and before he could reach the temporary headquarters, he received another piece of news that angered him and shocked the whole world.The six Desik fleets and the six Western Coalition fleets stationed in the Metis system in the southwest province of Desik, were attacked by the bandit fleet when they rushed to the A3 system for reinforcements.Annihilated!
