Chapter 116 encounter
Through the Vichy border, the four-nation fleet continued to move towards the Eagle Kingdom, and obtained the result of the trust vote from the House of Commons. Although the trust vote from the House of Commons will eventually be presented to the Queen of the Eagle Kingdom and the Queen will make the final decision. But everyone knows that since entering the constitutional parliamentary system, the Queen has rarely refuted the vote through parliament, so this message transmitted to them through Ansaibo is the final solution.
"Major General Lin Hai serves as the commander of the Eagle Kingdom Front Army and will become the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces! Although we clearly cooperate with the Eagle Kingdom in this operation, this military appointment is really too ridiculous! Such a young boy wants to command me, Giro?" Giro, an officer from the United States of Mima, slapped the table, and the tablet showing information on the table was shocked and undulating.
A meeting of formation-level officers was held within the coalition forces to this result. According to different military ranks of each country, the generals who participated in this meeting were basically officers and generals from the colonel to major generals. These generals were indeed a little surprised and surprised when facing the final fact that the Eagle Kingdom served as a major general as a coalition commander.
You should know that General Bran, the current commander of the Four-Nation Alliance, has the rank of lieutenant general. If the Eagle Kingdom is not surprised, it should have a rank of equal military rank and a steady experience to convince the public, but it turned out to be a major general.
Bran knew that most of the people in the army were also dissatisfied with this result at this time. He looked around and said, "In just a few years, he was promoted from a major to a major general. Looking back at Lin Hai's personal resume, I can see the glory created by this young man. Even Tuoba Gui, the second-level mecha war god who is famous in the universe, was overthrown by him, which at least proves his extraordinaryness."
In any case, Bran's main task is to safely hand over this army of complex countries to the Eagle people, so the disharmonious emotions that arise should be resolved.
But it is obvious that many people don’t buy it. A general from the Danda Kingdom said arrogantly, “Isn’t Tuoba Gui just a warlord who relies on force to occupy one side… Our country can even wipe out any regular military force.”
"General Bran, but what we need is not a mecha war god, nor is it a cosmic war that can be saved by a pilot. What we need is a coalition commander with outstanding combat experience and heavy resume. If the Eagle people do this, I think we can just let General Bran lead the entire coalition!" said a major general of the Caga Federation.
"After all, we are going to fight on the Eagle Country, so I must not serve as the Supreme Commander. This position must be borne by the person appointed by the Eagle Country." Bran expressed his attitude, "Of course, I believe that the Eagle Country should have carefully considered the choice of such a person. Command and qualifications are not important. As early as 72 years ago, the Covenant Power promulgated the Goldwater Act, which is commonly used by many countries. It clearly stipulates a personnel constraint mechanism, that is, the lower-level officers can have the possibility of serving as the Supreme Commander under special conditions recognized by the head of state, but the generals of the troops at this time also have the power to supervise and evaluate his abilities and make suggestions on appointments and removals."
With the military bills of the Covenant Kingdom and the approval of the Queen of the Eagle Kingdom, Lin Hai was legal in commanding with the rank of major general. Bran also felt the general dissatisfaction within the coalition, so he introduced this decree as a basis.
Sure enough, although the officers of the coalition forces had their own ideas, all soldiers had to act according to the rules in the face of the common bills of the Covenant Powers. Against the backdrop of this cosmic war, these perfect bills formulated in the last century have become the norm for them to unite to defeat Susa and his Axial Community.
These are military rules, these are laws, they are so strict that they do not allow any violation.
"Since the Eagle people have made such a big bet, what else can I say... just wait and see what they do. However, if there are differences in the battle, we will first choose to consider General Bran's opinion!"
Lin Hai will serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, which is a military order. But General Bran has the qualifications to become the first leader in terms of military rank, which is reasonable. These senior officers in front of him are obviously more reasonable.
Although it is impossible to really violate Lin Hai's orders, if Lin Hai, who is still inexperienced, can understand his situation and take the initiative to hand over the advice to Lieutenant General Bran, who will coordinate the planning of the combat plan in the future, he may be a smart person. But he really has to use his meager experience to do things, and he is very happy about merit. Although they dare not do anything on the battlefield, once the war is over, they will impeach the highest combat agency of the Covenant Kingdom. At that time, even if it is the Eagle Kingdom, the queen will have to consider the reactions and strong opinions of the Allies.
As a soldier, who has not made merits and glory in this era, even if Bran is so mature and persistent, he will inevitably become more and more energetic at this time. If Lin Hai can really "ask him for advice" during the battle, Bran feels that he can tolerate this embarrassing position in his battle.
Of course, if he was the hero behind the successful battle of the United Army, I believe that these generals with sharp eyes from the multinational coalition forces will naturally report his achievements in the future. He Bran may also take the lead in the entire sequence of Allied generals. This is something that no general will ever expect.
After all, in Bran's opinion, there is actually no suspense in the Eagle Kingdom battlefield. Once their multinational troops intervene in the war, they may tear a breaking hole with the Eagle Kingdom on the front line. The hole will grow bigger and bigger like a snowball. The only thing they are worried about is the army of Manstein, a famous general of Susa. Therefore, they want to launch an interception war with the Eagle Kingdom, concentrate superior forces to defeat Manstein, and then free up their hands to solve the troubles on Fei Yuanxing's front line.
Fortunately, if the coalition forces gathered together, their strength may be far greater than Manstein. This is because the Susa people's offensive strategy is constrained. The Susa Axis troops are currently conducting large-scale operations against the land of Gran and the United States. Manstein's troops do not have too many troops, and they are waiting for their leisure to work. The coalition forces are likely to win a beautiful battle. Of course, the premise is that the commander cannot be fooled. However, Bran believes that with himself watching Lin Hai and the support of many joint generals, Lin Hai's command can be largely influenced.
After all, in the end, I still have to have a duel with Manstein.
Bran is already a little excited about this rumored famous Susa player.
After the meeting, the fleet continued to move forward, but during this process, the fleet had been receiving messages from all parties in all directions. Soon, the new Elder of Eden, Ma Kenson, also agreed that Lin Hai's message as the commander of the coalition forces also reached the fleet. However, when this news came, many generals and officials in the coalition fleet were a little accustomed to it. Of course, they would not publicly object, but when Lin Hai met and took office, he would taste a lot of soft nails.
The flagship suddenly called the police, and in a brief trance, it diverted Bran's attention.
"What's going on?" Bran left the command seat and came to the electronic control area.
An intelligence officer said urgently, "General, we detected the relevant magnetic field in the magnetic detector that opened the circuit in the star field ahead. According to the magnetic field gradient, this is the magnetic field characteristic of an artificial object!"
The entire fleet became nervous at this moment.
"What is the scale? Direction? Mark it on the star map!" Bran came to the three-dimensional marking star map. In the northwest direction of their fleet, a mass of magnetic field detected by the magnetic detector appeared on the hologram.
"The scale cannot be determined, but it has at least 9,000 stagnant magnetic strength! And the gradient model is changing incrementally."
"Give me the star map surveying and mapping information of the Cagadi Star Ring!" Bran made a quick decision, and the holographic star map in front of him changed again, turning into a star-rotating scene. Bran operated on this hologram with both hands, dragging countless dotted lines, and his hands kept participating in the calculation. After a while, Bran's fingers brought out a red line. The red line circled a spiral line through the Cagadi Star, and then dragged it to the fleet orientation channel where they are currently located, seamlessly overlapping. The extension of this path is the direction of the star gate group leading to the Milan star area of Eagle Inter!
At this time, in the command chambers of the main ships of each formation, the commander of each formation saw the deductions made by Bran on Kubu's flagship.
Until this result came out, everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
"This is……"
"Menstein." Bran's hand slowly retracted from the holographic star map. The shocking red line was showing a fact!
They and Manstein's troops met unexpectedly!
"It's really amazing. They jumped out of the Blyden Star Gate and were at least seventeen days later than us. According to our expectations, these times are enough for us to meet with the Eagle Kingdom army, and then simply complete the combat running-in, waiting for Manstein's arrival... It's true that they are the 'lightning god', which makes the entire fleet risk passing through the Bermuda zone, and running at full speed, reducing this period of time and actually having an encounter with us!" Bran sighed.
"General, the other party has changed, the direction of the magnetic field traveling is shifting... coming towards us!" The voice of the intelligence officer came from the side.
All warships in the entire formation are adapting to and accepting this emergencies as quickly as possible.
Bran raised his head and said, "While we found them, their detectors also detected us... broadcast to the entire fleet, we encountered the Manstein fleet, first-level combat readiness! Get ready for combat!"
Beside Bran, all the adjutants and staff immediately picked up the communication microphone and shouted various commands to the other end. In the quiet universe, countless warships began to adjust.
"Don't panic, don't be confused, let the young men take their place. We are surprised. I believe the other party is also shocked! So at this time, whoever is more calmer than who has a better chance of winning!" At the critical moment, Lieutenant General Bran quickly entered the calm state of a qualified commander and was able to give orders calmly!
"All warships expand their formations in hedge arrays! Adjust the orientation to nine-to-twelve degrees on the flag plane!"
"The one ahead of us may be that fierce lightning god Manstein! If we defeat him here, we can solve the strategic intention of the Susa people to open up a second battlefield in the Eagle Kingdom once and for all!"
"Warriors, follow my Bran command..."
Chapter completed!
