Chapter 548, puncture the window paper
On many worlds that have changed their flags, there are apparently still rebel princesses stationed on their native planets.
Moreover, it is not certain that the governors of these planets who have made gestures of surrender are really determined to follow the Alliance.
The main reason was that the Fury Corps' repeated concessions in the Proud Claw star field made the governors and leaders in the star field very dissatisfied.
You have your grand strategy, but we are the ones who suffer!
They pulled back resources and troops, and then they withdrew as soon as the Alliance arrived. Instead, they asked us to lead the Planetary Defense Force and resist to the end... Why?
The lives of the defense forces are also lives!
When dozens of worlds are presented as living examples, one cannot help but be shaken.
But is the alliance a good thing?
They were ruthless in clearing out local forces in the areas they occupied, which was frightening; but fortunately, if you are more cooperative, it seems that you will not be treated particularly harshly.
They will also shrink their defenses and abandon the outer world under the harassment and attacks of Fury. When Fury comes back, how will he treat these surrendered governors?
It's very difficult to be on the right or left side.
Then we will side with whoever comes.
But even if you have a tendency and will surrender to whoever comes, you can't be the kind of die-hard who follows blindly.
The general attitude is that you can come as you please, I will provide you with any resources you want, but if you want me to fight for my life, I will pretend to obey you but secretly disobey you...
The most direct manifestation is that these planets that changed their flags and joined the Alliance did not even suppress or eliminate the small number of direct descendants of the Royal Princess Legion rebels originally stationed on the planets.
The top leaders of the alliance are basically aware of this situation.
In this regard, the alliance did not push these places too hard.
Now that the alliance has formulated its own strategy, it must implement it with great determination.
As for those wavering fence-sitters, the Alliance simply sent out envoys to force them to announce their change of flag, gathered a wave of supplies and troops, issued orders that were unlikely to be followed to wipe out the rebels and defend the homeland, and then left them alone.
The main force of the alliance is nestling on Mentus II. Most of the troops are resting. The army is stationed, resting, taking holidays, replenishing supplies and holding some internal activities. In short, they are trying to boost morale.
The fleet was parked near the wreckage of the starport that was being repaired to repair the ships. Of course, some ships that needed major repairs had to be sent to the shipyard for repair. Fortunately, there was a shipyard in the area of the Proud Claw Starfield controlled by the Alliance that could undertake this part of the work.
The technical level of that shipyard is not very good, it is a small field. But there is no other way. If we don't use it, if we want to send it back to the Alliance, the nearest one has to go to the Granya Shipyard in the Menghe Star Region.
In addition to the resting troops, there is only a small part of the army, cooperating with some small ships to clear out the rebel forces that may still remain on the planet, but that is no longer the theme on Mentus II.
The rest lasted for a month and a half, and the main force of the alliance set out again.
This time, they included two worlds as their intermediate stopovers on the road, built them up a bit, and then rushed to Aoya Star.
As the capital of the star region, Aoya Star's defense level is also not bad, at least it is on the same level as Mentus II.
However, if the Fury Fleet completely abandons the planet, the fate of Proud Fang Star will be no different from that of Mentus II.
that's the truth.
Four months later, Aoya Star was recovered.
This result further shocked the entire Aozhua star region.
Presumably, in the future, when the Alliance goes to recapture other worlds in the Proud Claw Star Region, it will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Just like they could issue an order to the surrounding areas after they took down Mentus II. Although they were not determined to surrender, Gu Hang himself would not have too many expectations for the world he had recovered. Don't make trouble. If you can provide some supplies, it will definitely be much better than normal.
So far, two of the three key worlds mentioned by the Alliance in the previous military council have been conquered.
With Mentus II and Aoya Star, almost the entire Aozhua Star Region can be covered.
The last remaining target is Heyang VIII.
This world is relatively isolated, and apart from being rich in resources, it doesn't have much strategic value. Unlike Mentus II and Aoya, after being conquered, it can cause the mentality of a large number of surrounding planets to waver and surrender.
There is no such effect when fighting He Yang VIII.
The planet's abundant resources were only relatively speaking. If the Alliance only wanted resources, the Alliance would have been able to take whatever it wanted from the hundreds of worlds in the Aozhua Star Region, and it didn't have to cause trouble for Heyang VIII.
The Alliance's purpose in causing trouble for this planet is very clear: to provoke the Alfonzo sect behind it and see what their attitude is.
The generals of the Alliance Army actually raised objections.
When we fought against the Fury Fleet, we did chase them all the way, and there was a big gap in strength. But weren't we always on guard, wondering if the main force of the Iron Fury Fleet would move south?
Didn’t we agree that time is on our side, and that we should just leave it like this for now after we take over the Aozhua Star Domain?
Then why bother looking for trouble with He Yang VIII?
It is very important to test and determine the attitude of the Alfonzo sect. All kinds of diplomatic means have always been countered by the group of oil men with various statements. Like this, directly touching the core of the other party's interests will have a more obvious effect.
But what if we really force the Alfonzo sect to the Iron Fury Rock? What if we force them to go down?
Gu Hang criticized these statements in parliament.
"Don't take any chances."
"Will the Alfonzo sect be a neutral party? Will they stand on the side of the Empire?"
"This is impossible. The bond between them and the Iron Rage is so deep and so firm. Without their strong support, how could the Iron Rage have grown so big and strong over the years? With the Iron Armor Legion clearly turning the tables, no matter how many excuses and statements the Alfonzo Cult has, their actions will prove it. Not only did they not stop supplying arms to the Iron Armor, they even increased the supply."
"This is a typical enemy. They haven't raised a clear banner at the moment, that's just because the pressure is not enough. We must realize that Alfonzo will never be a target to be fought for, but a real enemy."
Someone else came up with an idea: Since the other party hasn't clearly raised the flag and the pressure hasn't come yet, why should we put pressure on them and break this window paper?
Gu Hang then asked back:
"If we don't stab them, won't they stab us?"
"If we leave Heyang VIII like this, a planet with abundant resources will continue to provide blood transfusions to the Alfonzo sect, and there is also a powerful Titan Legion on standby, as well as the Alfonzo sect's mechanical fleet. How many troops should we send to defend Heyang VIII? If we ignore this planet, then when we fight with Fury and even the main force sent by Iron Armor to the south, and they attack from the side, what should we do?"
"When a confirmed enemy appears on our flank and has the potential to cause trouble for us, we must not ignore it."
At this point, no one said anything.
Gu Hang's authority was implemented.
However, when the main force of the alliance was about to arrive at Heyang VIII, something went wrong in the rear.
----
Yes, but it's probably a bit late.
