Chapter 974: Chapter 526, Major Changes in the Situation
Osenia and Tadeusz quickly t at the starport of Flying Wing Star.
After completing so clerical handover tasks, the two also chatted a bit.
They discussed the war at hand.
“Has the Governor already departed from Rage Owl Star?”
“Yes.” Osenia replied, “He should arrive in about two days.”
“Then it will be ti.”
Upon hearing this, Osenia’s expression was still sowhat lancholic.
She lanted, “If only we could avoid war, that would be great.”
Tadeusz did not respond.
He had worked with Osenia for decades. Even though they had never deliberately cultivated a personal relationship, aside from work interactions, they had no other exchanges. Nevertheless, they shared a revolutionary camaraderie built over decades, and they were comrades.
Precisely because of this, Tadeusz understood that Osenia’s lantation was not a sign of weakness from the Alliance Premier.
But there was a little… reluctance.
Over the years, within the entire Dragonhawk Star Domain, economic developnt had been lively, with varying degrees of progress in different areas. Still, overall, efforts were made to localize solutions and improve things as much as possible. Osenia had worked tirelessly for this, and there had been considerable achievent.
Although most of the Alliance’s resources were still tilted towards war these years, the war had not officially begun, but everyone in the Alliance understood that sooner or later, they would have to battle the ‘Iron Fury Stone’ to the north. The strength gap between the two sides was not small; they had to squeeze resources, build military equipnt, expand the military to have the strength to fight.
Even though a vast amount of fiscal investnt from the Alliance was poured into military equipnt, the main environnt was still peaceful, and the mass production of arms paradoxically stimulated economic developnt. Although this stimulus was sowhat unhealthy, the developnt was indeed concrete.
Once the war truly started, the situation would obviously be different.
Thinking of this, Tadeusz sighed.
The next mont, his heart hardened again.
He said to Osenia, “This is a war that cannot be avoided. If we do not prepare, the Iron Armor’s forces will be upon us.”
“Why is it that after the Iron Armor Battle Group swept through the Spiderweb Domain, its main targets were to expand north and west, but it did not make a grand move south? Is it not because we have always remained vigilant, always prepared for war, and we are a tough nut to crack, so war did not co to us?”
“But this situation cannot last forever.”
“More than three years ago, on the North Line battlefield, the three major founding battle groups of Infinite, Blood Angels, and Bats all arrived, each sending a company. The Black Cross Legion even deployed a detachnt, with over a thousand Black Cross Army mbers, commanded by a Fleet Marshal. He also assud command of the entire western frontline, leading a combined force of seven nearby battle groups and a large number of the Star Realm Army and Imperial Navy, forming the main force of the North Line battlefield.”
“On the western frontline, the mother group of the Phoenix, the Phoenix Legion, dispatched a very large force, led personally by the current Lord of the Phoenix: Su Lie. Here, many battle groups were also gathered, most of which were sub-groups of the Phoenix. Although they did not explicitly fly a flag, there was generally an intent to avenge the ‘Lilac’ and ‘Starbreaker Blade,’ the groups extinct in the great rebellion a century ago. In addition, the Heretic Tribunal was unwilling to accept defeat and returned once more. They recruited the notorious Legion of Death and drew over four thousand fighting nuns of the Blood Rose.”
“Counting it all up, the forces amassed on the western frontline were even stronger than those on the North Line.”
“That should also have been when Iron Fury Stone was closest to failure. At that ti, our Military Affairs Departnt was also dragged into, and alongside the Staff Departnt, we held continuous etings day and night to discuss whether we should also join the fray from the south. After all, setting aside the state of the war, we had never broadly mobilized to participate on a large scale in the war within the Spiderweb Domain, imposing significant political pressure on us from both the Empire and the Space Domain Governnt. Pri Minister Oseina, you should be more aware of this than I am.”
Hearing this, Osenia nodded repeatedly.
Indeed, during that period, the Alliance was also struggling, and she bore the brunt of that political pressure.
Above, whether it was the Central Empire or the Space Domain Governnt, they were incessantly urging the Alliance to dispatch troops quickly and early. Despite Mr. Gu having already convinced Galaraldo to alleviate so of the pressure in Holy Terra, the Alliance was still having a tough ti.
Galaraldo himself was having a tough ti; he hadn’t managed to secure a seat in the Supre Council for four years, and even his position as Military Affairs Departnt Premier seed precarious. There were many factions and forces within the Imperial Military Departnt. They would also question why Galaraldo was shielding the Alliance from all this pressure?
However, that pressure soon faded.
It wasn’t due to any change in the Alliance’s actions, but because dramatic shifts occurred on the two major frontlines in the North and West.
In the dual battlefields, each featured legendary military groups, and within a year, they completely stabilized the war situation. No matter how formidable the Iron Armor Battle Group was, it could no longer maintain simultaneous advances on two fronts.
Their military activities were constrained, and even on those two battlefields, a grand counteroffensive took place, compressing Iron Fury Stone’s forces back into the Spiderweb Domain.
