Chapter 1530： Rekindled

"You... don't anyone want to say something?" Kirkcraft? Stewart said, looking into the distance, his face was calm and serene.

His face is not like the dead hymn of Will Olipod, he is always an expression, no joy or sorrow, no sorrow or happiness, good at hiding things. In the afterglow of the gentle breeze and the setting sun, the original deep and firm facial lines became softened, melted by something, without murderous intent, and no majesty, like a wise man who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, with his wise eyes Eyes look at everything in the world.

Judging from the current situation, he is not like a majestic emperor at all, but he looks very kind and approachable.

Only the people in the chamber know that this is definitely an illusion, an illusion that can kill people under certain circumstances. Unlike many people who are simple-minded and kind-hearted, His Majesty Emperor Kirklaw Stewart will only use beautiful scenery to suppress the emotions in his heart when he is angry.

Is he a demon or an angel? In many cases, the devil and angel are just a turning distance.

Just like the question just now, it sounds soothing, but it's still a discussing tone. However, the above sentence is the fact that Prince Halifax Stewart was kidnapped by Captain Tang.

His Majesty the Emperor summoned them to the Chamber for a talk, with the purpose of finding a solution to the current problem-how to rescue the 13th Prince from Captain Tang.

As the person in charge of the entire empire’s scientific research system, the prince can be said to be the right-hand man of the emperor. Not only genetic engineering, but many conceptual military systems of the Monya Empire were derived from the prince’s team.

His Majesty the Emperor once said this when he was angry that they could not do anything-you people all add up to less value than Halifax.

It hurts to say that, but it is undeniable that what he said is the truth. Taking a step back, even if someone has objections, they would never dare to speak before His Majesty the Emperor at this time.

He is peaceful at this moment, and perhaps cruel at the next moment. His Majesty's moodiness and anger have long been experienced by those present, and no one dared to touch his brow at this time.

"What's the matter? I remember Dior? When Depp led the Royal Navy fleet to the Livia star system, you said a lot. The smile on your face is more beautiful than flowers. Why are they all dumb today?" Erclaf I’s hand was placed on the hilt, and the bottom half-fist-sized spar matched the ruby ​​ring on his ring finger, rubbing the outline of the setting sun.

When they learned that Ouyang Lanlan and Joseph were willing to serve for the empire, they were really happy for a while. They felt that the overall situation after the war was set, and that the Garcia rebels, Tang Fang and his Morningstar casting would surely become history. The dust was buried by the tide of time and became a poor worm that can be slandered and desecrated at will in history books.

However, it turned out that the empire was slapped severely. All their plans, all their excitement, and all their efforts turned into dreams and dreams. More than that, even the 13th Prince Halifax Stewart, the empire's most prestigious 13th prince, became a prisoner of Captain Tang.

No, this is no longer being slapped, it is being rubbed, rubbed and rubbed again by Tang Fang with his foot on his face. The face of the empire was lost.

Of course, this matter was only known to the people in the chamber of the Monya Empire, His Majesty the Emperor, several princes, Dior Depp and a few others. I don't know what kind of consideration Tang Fang didn't announce Halifax Stewart to the outside world. I don't know if he intends to trade with them or has other unknown scruples.

Rockefeller stood behind the great aristocrats in the chamber, and also did not dare to speak out, but constantly used the corner of his eye to capture the back of the emperor, trying to understand the thoughts of the emperor on earth.

He is a man who is good at guessing people’s hearts. He was previously appreciated by Halifax Stewart, and later introduced to Mackintosh Stewart, and then recommended to the seat of Kirklaf I, avoiding the dust of the pearl. The future of life. Although he is still a lieutenant general of the empire, there is no substantial increase in the ranks, but everyone knows that he is the emperor in front of his majesty and the two princes...Of course, for those who can’t understand him, he is the emperor. A faithful dog in front of the two princes.

However, even a smart person like him is somewhat helpless about the current situation. First, the Tang side stood still, and the empire was unable to determine what he thought. Secondly, the hostages related to Tang Fang and Tanglin’s family kidnapped by Kirklaf I were all dead... Regarding this incident, he was very upset when he knew it. Yes, because if Kirklaf I was not insatiable, he wanted to have hostages to threaten Tang Fang, but also wanted these hostages to become the sharp edge of the empire. After he was thrown into the enemy camp, he would collect intelligence or launch a surprise assassination. The result? Stealing chickens won't eclipse rice, and now there is no proton that can be used to pinch Tang Fang.

"What to do? What to do..." He kept asking himself from the bottom of his heart, until the afterglow of the setting sun moved to his face, blinded by the sight, and still did not think of a feasible way.

Kercraft Stewart no longer looked at the setting sun in the distance, and slowly turned around, and walked from the vertical door frame to the innermost platform of the chamber. On the stairs, there was a very simple chair. The alloy casting looks extremely heavy and has a special metallic luster.

He was bathed in the fading sunset, his expression on his face changed little by little from serene and calm, toward seriousness and coldness, and the breath radiating from his body was also terrifying and suffocating.

Rockefeller seemed to see the hairs on the back of Prince Walker's head stand up, not knowing what he was afraid of.

There was still no one talking, even the sound of coughing could not be heard, the important officials of the empire lowered their heads, and the brothers of His Majesty did not dare to look up, and each had a small calculation in their hearts.

Rockefeller also did the same, because from the emperor's behavior and expression changes in a discovery-Kirklaf I has made a decision.

In fact, the question just now, and the ridicule at the back, are not so much soliciting their opinions and ignoring their stupidity and uselessness, but rather venting the resentment of losing their son. Based on what Captain Tang did in the past and the character data collected by the Empire, the kid must hate Halifax Stewart's experiment. Dewey Hansel's death clearly demonstrated this point. So... Is there any hope of survival for the thirteenth princes falling into the hands of Captain Tang? This is likely to be a small probability event.

Kirkcraft Stewart stepped up the stairs step by step, walked to the black stone seat that belonged to him, slowly turned and took a seat, raised his head and looked at the empire's important ministers standing on both sides of the red carpet, and his eyes passed through the open hall door. , Headwind shot towards the sunset blocked by the red wall, narrowing his eyes slightly.

………………

To everyone's surprise, the chaos in the Phoenix Empire has not been resolved, and the ZHI reform plan has not been included in the charter. Shocking news broke out on the other side of the Tianchao star area.

Earlier, because of Tang’s involvement in the no-man’s land war, the Monya Imperial Navy headed by Mackintosh Stewart and the Sulu Imperial Navy headed by Abdul Abdul withdrew from the front lines and returned to their own territory. The war in the no-man’s land transitioned from a physical confrontation to a strategic confrontation. The Star Alliance was trapped by social problems and the subsequent invasion of the Jupiter Expeditionary Army. It had no energy to fight back against the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire, and it only relied on Tang. The prestige of the two empires shocked the naval fleets.

The Star Alliance Navy, led by Spartacus United, under the leadership of Jean Johnson, beat the Phoenix Imperial Navy and regained a city for the Star Alliance. Because of the various advanced battleships provided by Morningstar Casting, the Star Alliance Navy and the Star Alliance people have regained their confidence, and have shown achievements and courage.

Under such circumstances, the international community generally believes that the Star Alliance Navy will attack the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire after digesting and assimilating the combat experience accumulated in previous military operations, and avenge the humiliation of the past.

Many people are waiting and waiting for the Star Alliance Navy to complete the rest and reorganization operations, reignite the flames of war in the no-man’s land confrontation zone, and take back the Tiantuk star system and the Kalilan star system controlled by the Monya Empire. Recovery belongs to the stars. The territory of the League.

Unexpectedly, however, the Star Alliance navy headed by Spartacus United has not recovered from rest. The Hydra Corps stationed by the Ernaga Star System and the Saint Anthony Fleet on the Sulu Empire Defense Line , Broke into the Star Covenant Naval Security Zone at a speed that caught people off guard, and launched lightning operations against the Star Covenant.

This is not an undeclared war, because the two sides are in a state of confrontation, and restarting the war is a logical matter. However, the real situation is better than undeclared war.

No one expected that the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire in the Star Alliance navy battle equipment is becoming more and more advanced, and the tactics are becoming more and more mature, and now suddenly launch a second wave of offensive, and it is more fierce than the first.

People don’t know who gave Kirklaw Stewart and Zaire Abdul the courage to act against the Covenant Navy under Morningstar’s eyelids, but it just happened. It was strange and said. Not out of weird.

The chaos in the Republic of Date continues; the civil war in the Phoenix Empire has only come to an end, without a stop sign; the Silver Eagle regiment government still cannot provide a reasonable explanation for the loss of the third consul; it is in this situation that the Star Alliance borders The curtain of war in no man's land has been opened again. This is really... how to put it, let's start another wave after another.

The Star Alliance was caught off guard. Although the Honor Legion had been deployed in the Ayalos-Koplin-Srandall No Man’s Land, it did not obstruct the future enemy on the border line. Instead, it attacked under the order of David Conan. The rear retreated and actively gave up the defensive line of the Coplin star system and the Rutonado star system.

This is because not only the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire launched a surprise attack, but the border between the Star Alliance and the Republic of Date is also uneven. But I don't know what benefits the two empires promised to the separatist warlords of the Date Republic. They risked being annexed by the Star Alliance, Charles Federation, and the Dolanx Republic to support warlords to pressure the Star Alliance.

This pressure is different from the lightning assaults of the Sulu Imperial Navy and the Monya Imperial Navy, and is similar to the raids and murders of the ancient Chinese nomads against the people of the Central Plains. The main targets are the Star Alliance caravans, deep space service stations, and scientific research facilities. , Civilian settlements are such a weak point of combat power.

David Conan chose to shrink the line of defense to resist the safari attack from the Republic of Date, while at the same time lengthening the fronts of the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire, so that the enemy could expose weaknesses. At the same time, it won the reaction time for the Spartacus United and the Star Alliance 2nd Fleet, 16th Fleet, 25th Fleet and other Star Alliance Navy main fleets that were originally stationed on the Sokanada Defense Line, and rushed to the uninhabited battlefield as soon as possible to deal with the strong enemy.

After experiencing the first offensive and defensive battle in no man's land, the Sokanada defensive battle, and the Phoenix Empire long-range attack battle, the Star Alliance Navy has made great progress. Including David Conan and middle-level and high-level military officers and generals, it is not so important to hold the position The withdrawal of the defense line is not a shameful thing. Today’s withdrawal is for the future. The victory creates the necessary conditions. Just as the Sokannada line ignited before war, Ingrid Alexander and her Jupiter Expeditionary Force captured the Sotuk star system of the Star Covenant.

At that time, domestic public opinion was in an uproar, and pessimism spread in society.

However, a series of events that happened later made many people understand that a momentary victory cannot determine the outcome of a national-level battle. Ingrid Alexander took great efforts to conquer the Sotuk star system, which seemed to be a great achievement, but this great achievement became a shackle in the future, and she was firmly anchored in that land and entered- Those who can't advance, retreat-retreat and are not reconciled.

The end result was that after she paid a lot of casualties, she obediently returned the Sotuk star system to the Star Covenant. This is really embarrassing, embarrassing, and silly.

The situation in the no-man’s land is similar. Since the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire are so radical, they might as well give them this deserted land. What are the consequences of the lengthening of the battle line are not to be discussed in detail. The so-called slamming, and then declining, once the Monya Imperial Navy and the Sulu Imperial Navy penetrate into the territory of the Star Covenant, they will be easily affected in one way or another, resulting in various situations. , Revealing a fatal flaw.

To overcome this kind of dissatisfaction, the Monya Imperial Navy and the Sulu Imperial Navy must fight steadily and control the occupied areas, especially the supply lines. This will inevitably take a certain amount of time for the Spartacus United, 16th Fleet, and 25th Fleet. Wait for the experienced brigade to arrive in time to buy time.

In this war, David Conan will retreat to the highest level.

In addition, he decided to shrink the line of defense with another purpose-to expose the Delar star system directly to the enemy.
