Counterfeit Hero

The Sol star field of the Desik Empire, the Zeus galaxy, and the capital Olympus Royal Space Navy Base.

Banning, who was wearing a dark blue general uniform of the Naga Federation, was surrounded by dozens of senior military officers from various Western countries. He strode into the base building and walked through the spacious and bright hall and the posters with the theme of heroic desik soldiers. In the aisle with electronic posters, walk into the high-suspended sightseeing elevator that can accommodate 300 people at the same time.

As the automatic door closed, the sightseeing elevator flew up to the top-level command center 3,800 meters high like a rocket taking off.

The atmosphere in the oval elevator was solemn. Banning stood in front of the elevator viewing window with his hands behind his back. Behind him were more than 40 senior officers wearing military uniforms from different countries in Western York. Their faces were iron-faced, their lips were pursed tightly, and their eyes were looking straight ahead, like four Like ten solemn sculptures, they are silent.

As the elevator soars up, the Olympus Royal Space Navy Base shrinks below.

The wide training ground, tall buildings, soldiers and mechas running around turned into toys and ants. As the field of vision expanded, the atmospheric transport ship landing at the base airport in the distance, the fighter plane flying into the sky from the ejection port, and the warship floating on the silver-white metal dock further away also... appeared.

Banning's face was livid, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were filled with anger!

Desik people always seem to only make a fuss about the surface. This decadent country, under the leadership of the stupid Bidru royal family, no longer deserves to be called a great country.

When the Bidru royal family named their capital after Olympus and regarded themselves as the gods who ruled this star field, their country's economy was heading towards collapse. Their chaotic cabinet, bloated and decadent aristocratic class, one after another rebellions of lower ethnic groups, rampant corruption and an army full of stupid and incompetent aristocratic officers have become a joke to the entire West!

What's even more ridiculous is that Desik is still unaware of people's ridicule and ridicule. They are still immersed in arrogance and believe that they are a major member of Western Europe and the largest country in the southeastern star region in the true sense.

They put all their energy into decorating the facade. And he was very proud of it. The Royal Space Navy base in front of me, which looks full of modern technology and covers an area even larger than all the bases in the Binart Empire, is just a waste they have piled up with money!

Apart from letting ordinary people who know nothing about military affairs marvel at the majesty of these buildings in the base and be shocked by the number of mechas and ships, this base has no purpose.

Banning believes that only one Naga Federation armored regiment can be used to transform this beautiful and gorgeously decorated city. You can see photos of Desik's so-called famous generals everywhere, and you can see posters of handsome and beautiful male and female soldiers everywhere. The so-called well-defended base that could never be breached was razed to the ground!

"Idiot!" Banning squeezed out the word through his teeth.

The elevator stopped at the top floor and the automatic doors opened. He turned around suddenly and walked out of the elevator quickly.

"Admiral Banning!"

Banning, who had just stepped out of the elevator, looked coldly and saw a group of people waiting at the elevator door to greet him. The first ones were none other than Emperor Desik, Frank, and Bedru, who rushed over after receiving the battle report!

Facing this thin old man who was over sixty years old, with a sparse head and a square chin, and a nose that took up almost two-thirds of the entire face, Banning really couldn't imagine how this guy could think of himself as Zeus, the main god on Mount Olympus.

Is it just his appearance? !

Perhaps it was a huge mistake for the Naga Federation to choose the Western camp.

If the Naga Federation were a member of the Fifa League at this moment, there would be no psychological burden and no difficulty in attacking Desik and annexing this decadent and weak country!

"Admiral, things happened too suddenly..."

When Frank Bidrew saw the livid Banning, he immediately put down his airs as an emperor.

He followed Banning knowingly and accompanied him towards the command center hall. He put down the emperor's figure and explained: "I heard a report from the Secretary of Defense that the situation in the AO galaxy was urgent at that time, and the Filipina alliance's advance was very fast. Hurry, we need support urgently. When we sent reinforcements, we..."

A General Desik quickly opened the automatic door of the command center and quickly backed away.

Frank Bidrew, who had always been aloof and majestic, looked at Xiao Xing at the moment, and not everyone could see it.

Frank Bidrew watched his general retreat with cold eyes, and then explained to Banning: "At that time, although our coalition fleet withdrew from the AS galaxy, the following public galaxies and jump points were all under our control. No one thought that the enemy would appear in the AS galaxy. We still haven't figured out how they came here!"

"Who gave the order?" When Banning walked into the command center, he stopped and looked at Frank Bidrew indifferently and asked.

"This... As the person who issued the order, Bidru was a little embarrassed for a moment. Before Banning arrived in Desik last night, he got the news that the Fiji alliance was attacking the AS system, and he just wanted to get ahead of Banning. Before, using Dercik's right as the host to fight with the Fiji League first, even if it was just a small battle, it would show Dercik's voice in the coalition.

Unexpectedly, the twelve reinforcement fleets that originally seemed to be in no danger at all were completely wiped out just as they left the southeastern province of Metis.

This is a crime that even the Emperor of Desik cannot bear.

Frank, although his military level is not as high as Drew's, he is. "I have the air of a mighty emperor. But he actually understands his status in Du Xie Publishing House better than anyone else.

Not to mention compared with big countries like Binart, Naga Federation, Suss and Jepen, even compared with the monarchs of some medium-sized countries, his ranking among the Western Royal Family is not high.

If it weren't for the population and territory of the Desik Empire, and if it hadn't been following the footsteps of the Binart royal family, I'm afraid the Desik Empire would have been unable to maintain its status as a major member of Western York!

"The order is given." Flack was hesitating whether to tell the truth or find a scapegoat, when he saw Banning wave his hand suddenly.

"No matter who it is, your country is prepared to send him to a military court in Western York. In addition, your Majesty needs to personally explain this matter to General Sobol! I don't care about the rest. Now I only have one request..."

Under Banning's sharp eyes, which were as sharp as knives, Frank broke out in a cold sweat, swallowed hard and said, "You tell me."

"Immediately transfer the command of the Desik fleet that has joined the coalition forces, as well as the ports and bases where the coalition forces are currently stationed, to me. The officials in charge of the logistics department will immediately contact the logistics department of our coalition command headquarters to ensure logistics supplies." Banning stared at Di Lanke said in a precise manner: "From now on, the coalition forces will form their own system and have nothing to do with Dexik. Except for logistics supply, I don't want to see any orders that are not issued by my command system!"

"No problem, no problem at all." Frank, who had already made up his mind not to intervene, immediately agreed.

Banning's expression softened slightly and he nodded slightly to Frank.

Although he was appointed by Sobol as the forward commander of the Western Coalition Forces, he had absolute control over the Western Coalition Fleet. But no matter how cowardly Frank is, he is still the king of a country. In fact, it cannot be said that it is the fault of the Dexi people and us that something like this happened before the formal transfer of command. Anyone else would have made the same decision to reinforce.

In addition, the Western-Jordan coalition forces gathered in the Desik Empire and used bases provided by the Desik Empire. In terms of logistics, about 50% of the supplies relied on Desik's supplies.

In addition, the transportation of other supplies, escort, and the assembly of troops also need to use Desik's interstellar channels, and even pass through the Desik Empire's capital warning range.

Accountability is a matter for coalition command. Banning still has many areas that require Frank's cooperation, and he cannot embarrass Frank too much at this time.

Moreover, as Frank said, this battle was a bit strange.

Banning, surrounded by Frank and others, strode into the command center hall.

Although the combat effectiveness of Dexik's military was extremely poor, all government departments from the royal family down were very happy with their success. However, the command center in this Royal Navy base was built extremely well thanks to their face-saving projects.

The command center occupies the entire eight floors of the main building of the base. The command hall on the top floor is a circular room with glass walls on all sides. It is equipped with deduction rooms, tactical analysis rooms, pre-war conference rooms, Skynet information rooms, etc. Various functional rooms are equipped with complete equipment, and the instruments used are also the latest models imported from Binart Export.

Banning walked towards the podium. The moment he walked into the command center, his staff who had already arrived at the command center stood up and were ready to report to him.

"How's the situation?" Banning asked.

The staff officer who reported the report looked solemn. After saluting, he handed over an electronic folder and said in an unbelievable tone: "Currently, all communications with the advance fleet in the southwest of the Metis galaxy have been cut off. Except for the ten fleets dispatched in advance, It is confirmed that apart from the three fleets of the Anlonis Empire that were completely annihilated in the AS system, all other fleets have lost contact."

The situation was more serious than imagined, but Banning seemed more calm and calm. He opened the electronic folder, checked the description of the Fei Alliance fleet, and then carefully checked the time and location of the last contact with his own fleet. Then he walked to the electronic star map and quickly traced the criss-crossing channels with his pen. make a mark.

"According to the previous report of the advance fleet, all the bandit fleets currently stationed in the Leray Federation have been dispatched," Banning said. While he was speaking, all the officers of the Western-Jordan coalition had gathered around him and stood silently behind him, listening intently to the first strategic analysis of the Naga Federation's first general after arriving in Desik. .

"This is where the bandit fleet first appeared." Banning zoomed in on the O3 galaxy and drew a mark on one of the airspaces with the electronic pen in his hand, "Double Star Angle."

Everyone focused their attention on the electronic diagram and heard Banning continue: "The Double Star Angle is the most complicated section of the AS galaxy channel. It is composed of two stars that are relatively close to each other. Because of the gravity of the stars, the transition channel is here. We need to turn a 180-degree turn and jump back 1.2 million kilometers before entering the next section of the channel."

Banning said, holding his arms, putting the pen to his lips, thinking for a while, and slowly said: "It is not unexpected that the bandits chose this place as the attack site. They should have left the main channel and walked along the The edge of the Peridot Nebula moves forward silently, hiding behind the asteroid numbered as+6o, which is 300,000 kilometers away from the double star angle, and then makes a short-distance jump to launch an attack!"

There was a silent commotion among the officers behind them. Some people looked at each other, and some people suddenly realized. The Dexik generals present were even more stunned. When they looked at Banning, they couldn't help but express admiration and awe in their eyes.

The incident happened only a dozen hours ago. Because the fleet at the front lost contact, the rear knew very little about the specific battle information at that time. The staff repeatedly deduced on Ermeng and only marked out the clear things in the intelligence. During the battle, where did the enemy appear from, and the fleet There are big gaps in how the attack occurred.

And Banning, in just a few minutes, deduced the location and method of the bandit fleet's attack! After hearing his inference, and then looking back at the intelligence and interstellar maps, everything seemed like seeing it with my own eyes.

"At that time, the First, Second, and Third Task Forces of the Anlonis Empire were located in the Double Star Channel. Since the enemy's strength was far greater than theirs, and the attack was too sudden, the battle was one-sided from the beginning. The ending." Banning analyzed expressionlessly, as if what he said in his mouth was just a series of meaningless numbers. He used his pen to draw out the three task force fleets of the Anronis Empire, and continued: "If the rear fleet could have received the news in time, some of the warships might have been rescued. However, it was not until the fourth task force of the Anlonis Empire that When they arrived at Double Star Point, they did not receive any distress or warning messages, which shows that the enemy has an absolute advantage in electronic interference!"

"The news of the destruction of the fleet ahead came from the reconnaissance ship of the Fourth Task Force of Anlonis!" Banning's eyes coldly swept across several officers from the Anlonis Empire and the other two empires behind him and said: " When they learned that the fleet in front was completely wiped out and that a large number of fleets from the Fei Alliance were approaching, the fleet in the rear chose to retreat as soon as possible!"

A red line appeared on the interstellar map with Banning's electronic pen. From the 66 galaxy, it extends to the ao galaxy.

“One side came prepared, and the other side retreated hastily.” Banning sneered: “So, this battle turned into a rout in which everyone lost their armor.

"No need to contact them!" Banning's electronic pen quickly drew retreating arrows on the interstellar map, and also drew pursuing and roundabout arrows. Each time the previous and following arrows overlapped at a certain location, He just drew a circle and coldly reported the number of a fallen fleet.

When he finally stopped in the AS galaxy, after a long time and threw away his pen, his face was already ashen.

"Which fleet is responsible for the defense of the Metis galaxy jump point?"

Looking at Banning's cold eyes, Frank's pupils shrank, and he suddenly turned back to look at the Dethick generals under his command.

He knew that the jumping point of the Metis system was defended by Desik's own fleet and had nothing to do with the West-York coalition. Banning did not know the details.

However, when he asked this question at this time, it was definitely not just out of curiosity!

How dare you...

"It's the Athena local fleet drawn from the Sol star field, 'a total of four A-class fleets,'" Admiral Desik said in panic. He looked at Banning with an unbelievable bitter smile on his face, "It's impossible. It’s absolutely impossible—” He shook his hands, and the smile on his face became even more ugly: “How dare the bandits attack Metis? It’s impossible! "

The entire command center was silent.

Everyone looked in silence at Admiral Desik, who had beads of sweat on his forehead. They knew that even if the admiral was waving his hands desperately, he could not deny the fact that Banning had speculated all the way... The bandit fleet may have invaded Metis!

"We" Frank's eyes were a little distracted. He swallowed and asked, "How many fleets do we have in Metis?"

Admiral Desik, who was already weak, said with difficulty: "Before the coalition forces dispatched, there were a total of twenty-eight fleets stationed. After the advance fleet dispatched, there were only eighteen fleets left. After the reinforcement fleet dispatched last night, except for the two coalition fleets, There are only four guard fleets at the jump point. There are six A-class fleets in total."

"But" he looked at Frank's face and hurriedly added: "We still have a large number of B-class and C-class fleets. Besides, the Metis Galaxy has always been in contact with us. I haven't heard of..."

Before the admiral finished speaking, he saw a staff officer hurriedly ran up to the command podium. After saluting, he handed a folder to Ban Ma.

Under everyone's gaze, Banning opened the file, then raised his eyelids coldly and looked at Admiral Desik: "Do you communicate with the fleet ahead every two hours?"

"Yes, we have always been in contact every two hours. You know, the current interstellar communication cannot be maintained all the time." Admiral Desik swallowed, and his voice suddenly became hoarse: "What?"

"Communications have been interrupted. The fleet has not contacted your command headquarters for twenty minutes." Banning threw the folder to Admiral Desik and said calmly: "If my judgment is correct, you are going to give it to them. Collect the corpses! Perhaps you also need to prepare a large amount of funds to rebuild Metis's airport and space base."

He turned around suddenly and ordered to the officers behind him: "Order the fleet to go out immediately and rush to Metis!"

After saying that, Banning left behind a group of Desik people who were stunned and stunned, and strode out of the command center, which was brightly lit and filled with various advanced instruments.

"A bunch of idiots!"
