Counterfeit Hero

The fierce battle in the airspace of Trifland's jumping point temporarily came to an end with the retreat of the West York fleet again.

The ion stream at the tail of the last Western battleship has disappeared into the black void. The Fei Alliance fleets cruising in groups on both sides of the jumping channel stopped firing. Dragging their scarred bodies, they slowly drew an arc through the void, turned their bows one after another, and sailed back to the Al-Aqsa Fortress, which was suspended 300,000 kilometers away like a giant metal wheel.

Looking from the Al-Aqsa Fortress, the explosions and criss-crossing energy cannons in the distance have disappeared. The nebulae in the distance and the bright stars on the cosmic curtain appeared again.

Against this everlasting background, rows and rows of battleships moved slowly. The dense lights of the tail thrusters and the unextinguished fires in the cracks in the hull formed thousands of gurgling streams. Just like a grand and crazy concert, after the colorful fireworks, changing lights and hoarse roars, there is only the loneliness at the end.

The edge-piercing machine carrying Li Fo and several senior generals passed through the passage of the flagship space aircraft carrier Brave and plunged into the boundless universe. Facing the golden light of the star, it flew towards the huge body of Al-Aqsa Fortress 20,000 kilometers away.

Hundreds of fighter jets waiting for the mothership's recovery signal flew up and down next to the silver-white mango-shaped pierced-edge aircraft. The battleships that were preparing to enter the harbor were like giant metal warriors, retreating quickly from both sides of the edge-piercing machine.

Twenty thousand kilometers passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Fu, who had an iron face, took the lead to step down the gangway and step onto the fortress port. Solid ground.

As Li Fo's right-hand men, Gambier and Suo Ze were already waiting at the port. When he saw Li Fu arriving, he rushed up to greet him. It wasn't until they walked across the wide pier and came closer that they and the officers behind them saw Li Fu's appearance clearly, and they were all startled.

At this moment, Li Fu looked embarrassed. A uniform that was always clean and tidy on weekdays was dirty and wet. The blond hair stuck to his forehead under the military cap looked like it could squeeze out water. There is also a scratch near the corner of the eye that has no time to clean up the blood stains. "Obviously" this was the result of the Brave being directly hit by two enemy battleship-level main guns in the battle just now, and then being attacked by more than a dozen space fighters.

Seeing the eyes of Gambier, Suoze and others, Li Fu waved his hand coldly to indicate that it would be okay, then bent down and got into the flying car that stopped in front of him.

The flying car speeds along the internal road of the fortress.

Only the damaged areas with blazing flames were seen... Damage control soldiers running back and forth set up firefighting mechas that sprayed high-pressure water jets on the roadside, medical soldiers carrying the wounded, and medical mechas placing medical cabins on the spot... …

On both sides of the street, scenes quickly receded to the rear. The entire fortress was a scene of a tragic and busy post-war scene. Rui stared out the window, Li Fo's eyebrows were downcast and his eyes were dark. His face, which was already sickly pale, became even paler.

Gambier and Soze, who were sitting opposite him, also remained silent. They knew that in the battle just now, they had once again lost a group fleet. During the battle, "The Western Fleet once pressed the Fiji Alliance forces to the edge of the fortress, and besieged the fortress for an hour! If it weren't for the solidity of the fortress and several fortress guns with devastating power," he said he had no regrets and looked out the window. It was devastated, and both of them shuddered when they thought of the scene of the Western fleet frantically besieging the fortress.

In less than ten days since Li Fo led his fleet into Triflaland, this is already the twentieth battle that the Iron Army has faced at the jumping point!

Launching such an intensive offensive in such a short period of time, the commander of the West York Fleet, Renbold, is simply a complete madman!

Not only is he a lunatic, the entire West York fleet is also lunatic!

These days, they are like a group of sharks that smell blood, driving battleships into the jumping point again and again. One battleship was destroyed." Another one came up: one fleet had just been completely wiped out, and more fleets had already appeared at the jumping point with clusters of white light. They braved artillery fire and forced an assault, facing the terrifying fortress cannon. It is not uncommon to see the white light firing, even knocking away the remains of its companions and rushing forward.

This onslaught, regardless of casualties, turned the "Treflalan Jumping Point" into a bloody meat grinder! So far, the Iron Army under Li Fo has lost more than twenty super fleets, and the loss of Renbold, More than twice as much! The two sides were like two beasts, biting each other in this dark Colosseum. They were bloody and exhausted but couldn't stop!

\u0026nbaIt took countless efforts and nearly ten years to accumulate the strength, but it was all consumed in the bottomless pit of Trifland?

"General" can't go on like this! "

There was silence all the way. Once he entered Sober's office, Soze couldn't hold back anymore and opened the door. road.

The situation in Triverland has become increasingly dangerous. In recent battles, the West York fleet has broken through fleet interceptions several times and reached the airspace surrounding the Al-Aqsa Fortress to launch direct attacks on the fortress. This is an extremely dangerous sign. It means that the strength of the coalition fleet has dropped to a dangerous level, and Siyo may break through the defenses and rush into Tryland at any time!

Once the Al-Aqsa Fortress was destroyed, even the Iron Army under the leadership of Li Fo, which was famous for its bravery and tenacity, could not be an opponent of the huge fleet in Western York.

The grim reality forced Suoze to remind Li Fo that in this troubled world, only by ensuring that you always have strong power in your hands can you be respected. And without the Tiejun, we are like toothless tigers!

This group had made a bold comeback before, but was respectfully invited back by the Fiji League. As a result, Li Fu even became the actual commander of the coalition forces. Isn't it just relying on the powerful military force at hand?

The Iron Army is the basis for this group to control power and achieve future goals.

Without the Iron Army, there would be nothing!

"General, I suggest" Gambill said with a gloomy face: "Quit Trifland for the time being!"

In the office, it was quiet.

Gambier's words were like opening Pandora's box, making Suoze tremble even though he had thought about this idea countless times.

The Iron Army's withdrawal from Tryland was tantamount to announcing the fall of Al-Aqsa. Not to mention how much the war will worsen as a result, and how difficult it will be to clean up in the future, just thinking about how many planets and cities will be destroyed by the guns of West York, which is enough to make anyone shudder! Soze asked himself After many years of military career, he was used to seeing life and death, so he was hard-hearted. But after hearing Gambier's poisonous words, he still couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.

"The current high-level leaders of the Fiji League obviously haven't understood who they should listen to!" Gambier sneered: "You have successively ordered to summon fleets, but how many fleets have arrived in Triflaran in recent days? They gave a coalition force The title of commander-in-chief just wants us to be cannon fodder at the front, while he hides behind and watches the wind, which is too good a calculation."

Gambier gritted his teeth and paced back and forth for a few steps, then stared at Li Fu: "General, Tryland cannot be defended! Although retreating now will slightly damage your prestige." But it is the lesser of two evils. Instead of us here After spending all the capital, it is better to let the war completely rot! As long as we still have the Iron Army in our hands, we still have the initiative! The more corrupt the situation becomes, the sooner the coalition will gain actual control! "

At the end, Li Fo's number one adviser put his hands on his desk and said word by word: "General, in fact, you have already understood that the reason why Zhao Xi and Hill acquiesced in your becoming the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was Hastings behind them. Si’s shadow!”

Li Fu sat behind his desk and remained silent.

Every word Gambier said actually went through his mind countless times!

The reason why he turned back to Feiyang was because after his defeat in the presidential election, Zhao Xi and Hastings had started investigating him. The investigation report of the joint investigation team is like a sharp sword hanging over his head, which may fall at any time.

Not to mention the shameful things Barbara has done for him over the years, even if he is clean and spotless, his opponents can frame him at will!

If he didn't leave at that time, he wouldn't even have a chance to make a comeback!

However, leaving does not mean giving up, but taking retreat as an opportunity to advance!

He has always believed that as long as he does not become a prisoner of his political enemies, and as long as he still controls the Iron Army and the three major galaxies, the opportunity to return to Feiyang and even join the Feiyang Alliance will come sooner or later!

No one understands the current situation of the Philippine League better than him. Hastings is seriously ill and there are many internal conflicts in the coalition. "Once the war goes bad," no one else dares to say, at least Lane President Carter and the Lane military will be the first to think of themselves!

However, even when Li Fu was the most optimistic, he did not expect that the opportunity would come so soon!

When Sobol used a move of invisible troops like an antelope hanging horns to sweep across the four major galaxies of the Republic of Lane, with the troops pointed directly at Trifland, the entire Fei Alliance fell into a huge panic. .

And Hastings's refusal to return aid made the Republic of Lane completely succumb to him. Lane President Carter rushed to Meima overnight to meet and ask for help, and then made a public speech to promote the re-election process of the Fifa Alliance, which directly set off a wave of anti-mafia.

This wave is getting bigger and bigger. Finally, with the acquiescence of President Feiyang Zhao Xi and President Chakna Hill, he dramatically transformed from a rebel to the nominal commander-in-chief of the Philippine Alliance in less than a month!

Of course, all this did not make Li Fu lose his judgment. On the contrary, from the day he returned to the Fei League, he knew that the attitudes of Feiyang and Ryan were under Hastings' control.

The old man was not afraid that he could make a difference.

He suppressed himself and forced himself out of the Fei League, which had destroyed the reputation he had accumulated over the years. Although he still controls part of the army. However, after leaving the Fiji Alliance and losing the Fiji Alliance's huge resource base, just relying on the dozens of fleets and three star systems in hand will not be enough! Regardless of whether the final winner of the war is the Fei League or the Western Union, they can take care of themselves with a backhand!

As long as he still has ambitions, then replacing McKinley as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is an offer that cannot be refused. Even if he knew it was a bait, he could only close his eyes and open his mouth to swallow it!

This is his best opportunity to return to the Filipina League, and it is also a bet designed by Hastings for him. If Hastings wins the southeastern battle, he will be free to return to Treflaland, and his coalition commander will be Just an empty title. Once Hastings is defeated or dies due to illness, then this title will be his biggest asset in seizing the power of the Fei League and ascending to the supreme throne!

"Every time he thinks about this," Li Fu will feel a huge sense of fear in his heart.

Hastings is a mountain he can never climb.

This old man "has calculated everything!"

At the beginning, he asked himself to go to Ryan because he was ready to choose himself as his successor. Later, he suppressed himself because the fat man from the Leray Federation became a better choice than himself. He needs to squeeze the self that has been out of his control back into the palm of his hand!

However, even when heading south at this moment, Hastings still did not put all his treasures in one basket.

He chose "Fat Man" to put his treasure in the southeast. At the same time, he also gave himself a chance.

"Once Southeast loses," the fat man will obviously lose the possibility of leading the Filipina League. At that time, he who has won the bet will become the leader of the Filipina League according to his earliest plan.

For the old man, although he is ambitious, he is still a wealthy person.

Compared to Feiyang and his country, he would rather settle for the next best thing.

Thinking of this, Li Fu has already rejected Bill's proposal. As a chess piece that could not escape control from beginning to end, he understood that as long as Hastings was around, he must have the consciousness of being a chess piece. He didn't know what backup plan Hastings had left, but his instinctive fear of Hastings made him sure that the old man would never put the safety of the entire Trifland on himself.

As soon as he quits Treflaland, he will completely lose the qualification to compete for the top spot in the Fei League!

No matter what, I can't give up everything in front of me! Just hold on tight and wait for the change! Li Fu thought to himself, stood up and took a few steps back and forth. My thoughts have become clearer and clearer.

The war in Treflaland was eroded, although in the short term it allowed the Iron Army to increase in importance. But it does no good for him to defeat West York after replacing Hastings. Moreover, during the time that I was here on top, the deployment of troops by the countries in the Fiji Alliance has been much more relaxed.

If you retreat at this time, all your previous efforts will be wasted!

Of course, Feiyang and Chakna will immediately turn against the people. This group of radical patriotic young officers and their strongest ally, the Republic of Lane, will also give up their support for them out of disappointment! !

"Has the Supreme Command responded to the matter of coalition reinforcements?" Li Fo walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. A space train flew past the track outside the fortress. The windows that flew by quickly were brightly lit. It's like an old movie reel.

“Ryan’s fleet moves relatively quickly and has been determined to arrive at Triflaland within twenty hours.

However, President Carter can only mobilize twenty class warships from various theaters in Lane. This small amount of troops is a drop in the bucket for us. "

After listening to Li Fo's question, Gambier knew that he was obsessed with the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces and was unwilling to adopt his own plan. At that moment, he sighed in his heart and replied: "Although China and Chakna have agreed to send additional fleets, there is no definite news yet.".

"Wait a moment," Li Fo said calmly, "We are not at the end of our rope yet."

"General——"

Gambier opened his mouth worriedly and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Fu waving his hand.

"I have decided, no need to say more." Li Fu stared out the window for a long time, then turned back and said: "However, we do not have to stick to the jumping point. If necessary, we can temporarily retreat and let the enemy in to fight. !”

"Put it in?" Gambier and Soze looked at each other and said in shock.

"Don't forget, we still have an Arbitrator in our hands!" Li Fu's eyes were serious: "He has been here for so long, it's time for him to stretch his muscles! She didn't send him here to provide for him in old age. of!"

Gambier and Soze suddenly realized.

Not even the Iron Army knew about this most secret force in Li Fo's hands, let alone the coalition forces.

Back in Heidfield, Barbara had no choice but to dispatch the Adjudicator, and immediately activated the self-destruction device after the failure, leaving the opponent unable to grasp the control. In this jump point airspace, large-scale use of adjudicators will obviously give people clues.

However, putting enemies into the Tryfland system is different.

By that time, both the Western and Allied forces will be broken into pieces in order to compete for surrounding waterways, jumping points, immigrant planets and space bases. When the judge is dispatched, no one is aware of it.

As long as he can accumulate a few partial victories, Trifland may not necessarily fall into the hands of Renbold. Moreover, the loss of the jumping point was also a shock to the Fei League. Those procrastinating coalition forces may be eager to rush in for reinforcements at the speed of light!

Worries were swept away and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Just as Gambier walked to the corner of the room and was about to pour three cups of coffee, suddenly, a nervous electronic sound came. He pressed the communicator next to the automatic door and frowned: "What's the matter?"

"Urgent battle report!" The hurried but unable to conceal the surprise of another Li Fo's confidant, Hecker, sounded outside the door.

The automatic door of the office had just opened halfway when Hecker rushed in.

"General, Southeast Battle Report!" Under the surprised gazes of the three people, Hecker quickly walked to Li Fo and handed over an electronic folder: "Our Southeast Allied Forces and West York broke out in the Double Star Corridor of several galaxies. After a fierce battle, Marshal Hastings was defeated. Currently, the coalition forces have retreated to the LeRay Federation! Judging from the battle interpretation, Marshal Hastings may have lost the ability to command!"

What? !

Before they could recover, Hecker, who took a quick breath, continued: "In addition, after receiving the news of Hastings' defeat, Feiyang's forty-two-class fleet and Chuck Twenty-three Na-class fleets have already set off for here. They are expected to arrive in Triflalan in sixty hours!"

\u0026nba. Even with Li Fu's calmness, he couldn't help but tremble with his hands when he opened the electronic folder.

After quietly reading the battle report, Li Fu handed the folder to Gambier and Soze, who were already so excited that their eyes were red, and turned around to stand by the porthole, staring out the window, tightly clenching the window frame with their hands.

"Zhao Xi and Hill, surrendered to us! General!" After a long time, Gambier's trembling voice came from behind: "Congratulations!"

Li Fu was so stubborn that he gritted his teeth.

"Send an electronic ship and find a way to contact Fujii Tsuyoshi. I want to speak to him personally!"

"The war went through twists and turns, and finally in 206-4, with Hastings's illness and the defeat of the Battle of Double Star Point, he broke free and ran wildly in an unknown direction."

After the war, a professor from a military academy told this period of history in the "Hundred Schools Forum" with emotion.

"At that time, no one thought that the Southeastern Allied Forces had the power to make a comeback. Opposite them was the main force of Western York led by Sobol. And behind them was the ambitious Lever. Even the President of the Feiyang Republic Zhao Xi and President Chakna Hill also expressed their attitude by sending reinforcements as soon as possible. "

The professor opened the book: "Let's see what happened at that time."

"April 18, 206-4", the Southeastern Allied Forces, which had been fighting and retreating, retreated into the Leray Federation's [Central] star system. Relying on the jumping point, they fought fiercely with the invading enemy forces. "

"On the same day, in the Lesk theater, Chamberlin and Li Hongwu led the coalition fleet to complete the control of the outer space airspace of Canglang planet. At 11 a.m. standard time, they completed the deployment of space carrier clusters in twelve directions of Canglang planet and dispatched a large number of space carriers. The fighter planes entered the atmosphere, combined with ground forces, and launched the sixth comprehensive attack on the Western York Army led by Prince Bobet of Jeppon starting at noon."

"Also on this day, Emperor William III of Binart led a powerful force of 300 fleets to arrive at the Naga Federation. The Naga Federation held a grand military parade to welcome the arrival of William III. Thousands of people The battleships lined up into a space corridor thousands of kilometers long and fired their guns at the same time. This scene was recorded by the photographer of Western Rio and became an eternal memory of Western Rio's heyday."

"On the 21st, after judging the war situation, William III, who believed that the southeast was already under control, decided to go north to assist Renbold in completing the occupation of the Tryflan system as soon as possible. This decision was also adopted by many after the war. Military experts believe it is the key to the entire strategic turn. However, even the harshest critics admit that based on the situation at the time and his trust in Sober, it was impossible for William III to march to the southeast.

On the same day, the Feiyang fleet and the Lane fleet, led by Glasser and Feng Zhi respectively, entered the Tryland system and joined the coalition fleet under the command of Li Fo. Since then, coupled with the arrival of other allied fleets and the returning Fisichella fleet, Li Fu's strength has reached 170-class fleets, which is basically the same as the attacking Renbold's strength. The war situation in Triflaland has temporarily stabilized after spending the most dangerous dozen days. "

The professor read, turned the page, and said, "Let's look at it next."

"On the 22nd, after a hard battle, the Southeastern Allied Forces led by General Tian Xingjian were forced to abandon their jumping point and retreat deep into the central star field of Lelei. The gate of the Lelei Federation was declared lost."

He raised his head and told the audience: "After it was basically confirmed that Hastings was seriously ill and lost the ability to command, this news was considered to be a harbinger of the defeat of the Southeastern Allied Forces. At that time, no one doubted that Sobol would eventually win. Whether it is high-level officials or the public, whether it is within the military or the public opinion media, everyone unanimously believes that the failure of this mechanic general is doomed."

"On the same day, a major breakthrough was achieved in the land battle on Lesk Canglang Star. The Western York Army led by Bobet lost defensive positions in three important areas one after another. As a result, the entire Western York Army was driven deep into the Fei League at high speed. The coalition forces were cut into four pieces. Millions of army soldiers retreated hastily, and the scene was extremely chaotic. By this time, Mikami Yuuto, who had been avoiding the war, could no longer sit idly by. According to the post-war interpretation of the secret documents of the Western Treaty, the situation was extremely chaotic. It was later in the day that Mikami Yuuto decided to return to the army and seek to prevent the PAF air support of the army from the FAF carrier group in a small and fast battle."

"On the concave day of the moon, the battle situation in Resk changed again. Due to an intelligence error, when launching a diversionary attack on the Canglang star airspace, Mikami Yuuto's command group was intercepted by the Chakna 25th who suddenly appeared behind him. and the fleet of the Twenty-Sixth Group. Four hours later, the battle turned into a strategic decisive battle as more fleets from both sides concentrated in the combat airspace."

"On the coincidental day of the lunar month, the Southeastern Allied Forces retreated to Lele Capital Star. Relying on the peace of the airspace near the Capital Star, they delayed the attack of the main force in Western York. However, as the Western York fleet's offensive intensified, the coalition's room for maneuver became smaller and smaller. . In order to avoid being surrounded by Western York, the coalition fleet gave up guarding the inner circle of the capital's star space and turned to the outside to conduct harassment. Since then, the Western coalition has obtained the conditions for landing."

"On the same day, the forward troops of the Western Allied Forces led by William III arrived in Trifland via the four systems occupied by the West in Lane. The focus of the war has shifted to Trifland."

"On Moon Sword Day, after trying unsuccessfully to break away from the battle, Mikami Yuuto was forced to lead his army in a duel with the Fiji Alliance forces."

"In this battle, the two sides exchanged fire fiercely in the airspace near Canglang Star. The battle lasted for two full days. In the end, Mikami Yuu and Qian Bailin Li Hongwu were evenly divided at the cost of 40% of their troop casualties. However, this time After the battle, the three major super fleets under Mikami Yuuto were basically disabled and lost the ability to conduct another large-scale battle. The plan to conquer Resk is on the verge of bankruptcy, and we can only look forward to the arrival of Sobol."

"On this same day, Renbold, who had received additional troops, continued to attack the Trifland jump point. The two warring parties fought bloody battles for nearly fourteen hours, with a total loss of more than 12,000 warships. Al-Aqsa The fortress was completely scrapped due to the destruction of the core power area. A series of violent explosions destroyed one-third of the fortress. Until now, this abandoned fortress is still suspended in the center of the battlefield. As a reminder of that great war. sign.”

"This is the most tragic battle in the history of human warfare.

The number of casualties in just fourteen hours exceeded that of any other battle. However, this was not the fiercest battle. Maybe it was then. But with the arrival of January 28th, the giant transport ships of the Sobol fleet gathered over the capital planet of Leray, and the Xyo space fighters rushed out of the ejection channel of the space carrier and flew into the atmosphere. A battle between space and land was going on at the same time. The tragic battle has begun! "

"Historically known as the Battle of Ludlit. Also known as the Battle of the Unmanned Planet!"
