the days before i bought the galaxy

In the campaign against pirates that began in early May 1213, one-third of the pirates were wiped out within the first two weeks.

The Slim family's guards were divided into 27 teams and set off from each planet successively. Each team was responsible for destroying 4 to 5 targets, and then joined other teams to attack higher-risk targets.This spate of precision strikes leaves no time for the pirates to react, as they are wiped out before they can communicate with each other.

Due to the lack of command personnel, a large number of high-level Slim families, including Warren, Odin, Lan, and Bogo, were dispersed into various fleets.Together with the borrowed veteran general Sieghui, Warren is in charge of commanding the overall situation.

The eighty-year-old veteran Qi Gehui once served as the commander of the local security forces. He is currently the principal of Bethel Military Academy and also a teacher of Montgart.He is determined to train Montgart to be the next generation leader of the local security force. Facing the situation that his beloved student can't even speak, his anger far exceeds everyone's.This is the main reason the administrator can persuade him to join the anti-piracy operation.

What Warren has seen before, the defensive warfare that Menggalt is good at is learned from the veteran Sieghui.The strength of Sieghui is that he has an amazing ability to control the details, and can often create a situation that is beneficial to his side through precise command of the local battle situation.The play style of blooming everywhere is exactly what this veteran put forward.

Each fleet seems to be fighting independently, but in fact they can help each other, which can stabilize the morale of the army to a large extent, allowing the insufficiently trained army to exert extraordinary strength.

Sieghui is also very good at grasping the overall situation.Probably related to having a high rank in Go, this veteran general can think about angles that ordinary generals cannot see.He once told Warren that his student Montgalt was fond of painting and had a perfect pattern in his mind before the war, which was the biggest reason why he admired Montgalt.

Each general has different leadership characteristics because of their different personalities. Sieghui, who has been teaching at Bethel Military Academy for many years, knows this best, so he wants to train Menggalt into a super famous general with personal characteristics.

"I want to teach him to draw a flowing picture scroll in the universe, a picture scroll that can trap any enemy. What I am doing now is to give my students a little motivation to get out of the haze." He said Say it to Warren.

Ninety percent of the officers of the local security forces who participated in this operation graduated from the Bethel Military Academy, and more than half of them had received instruction from Sieghui.Qighui is the person who knows them best, and only Qighui can convince them.After seeing the veteran's strength, Warren admired the administrator's arrangement to the extreme.This also made him understand that he still has a lot to learn in terms of knowing people and making good use of them.

In just two weeks, Sieghui commanded the convoy to wipe out all the pirates whose danger level was marked as D-level and C-level, and the loss of the convoy was almost negligible.Now the guards have merged into 12 groups, ready to attack a more powerful enemy.

There are a total of 20 pirate groups marked as B-level. Sieghui thinks that it is not difficult to eliminate them. The difficulty lies in how to separate them and prevent them from being classified into other pirate groups.In addition, there are 8 pirate groups marked as dangerous level A, and 1 pirate group marked as S level. It is necessary to prevent these powerful pirates from cooperating with each other or even launching a counterattack against the escort.

"At present, the ratio of the number of ships between the enemy and us is 4 to 1. Reducing this ratio to 2 to 1 is our next goal." Zighui said, "How to choose the target of attack is very important. The pirates should have already been alerted, they are very A trap may be set, and if one accidentally steps in, we will lose an entire fleet."

Warren frowned: "Can't it be rescued?"

"At the beginning of the war, it was indeed possible to launch a rescue operation without hesitation, but now the battle situation has become more complicated, and easy rescues are likely to be surrounded by people. Hmm... Warren, you'd better be mentally prepared. We're going to lose a fleet or two before we get down to 2-1."

Warren's heart couldn't help but stagnate. He had his most important subordinates among the twelve teams, and he couldn't accept losing any one of them.But he knew that even if he forced Sieghui, it was useless. This was a real war, and even the best generals couldn't make a [-]% correct judgment.The cruelty of war determines that life and death are like roulette, which must happen according to a certain probability.

"I see." Warren exhaled slowly, "How long do you think it will take before we can reduce the ship ratio to 2:1?"

"There are too many possibilities, I can't tell the exact time. Don't worry! Your people are doing well, our combat effectiveness and morale are rising a little bit, while the pirate side is just the opposite. When the ratio of ships reaches 2: 1, our actual strength is already higher than that of the pirates. As long as there are no major mistakes in the closing stage, it is not impossible to swallow our last enemy with low losses." Zighui's finger fell on a stream called On the S-class pirates of Dulong, the number of ships of this pirate group is almost equal to that of the entire escort.

In the next few days, Warren clearly felt Sieghui's cautiousness.The veteran stared at the star map for a long time and thought, often without saying a word for several hours.Every order is the result of careful consideration. In order to avoid misjudgment, Sieghui ordered all the staff officers to give him an independent opinion, and then discuss and decide the final result together.

Seven B-level pirate regiments were wiped out one after another. In order to reduce losses, the guards will not take action easily when they are not fully sure.Warren also worked with the smuggling ring to lure and eliminate a band of A-rank pirates in key locations with supplies.But he knew that this kind of action could only be carried out in small quantities, otherwise it would definitely arouse the suspicion of pirates and destroy his current efficient intelligence network.The battle slowed down significantly, and the pirates were more cunning and suspicious than before. They basically stopped their activities and hid themselves in the starry sky.

Unlike Bethel's news media that the victory was just around the corner, Warren felt a sense of anxiety pervading every member of the guard.Long-term mental tension makes people irritable, and they can no longer follow orders as before.Fortunately, some people had experienced long waiting and despair in the previous battle to defend the Red City, which suppressed their aggressiveness.Despite this, Warren knew that this situation would not last long, and even he himself was eager to fight the enemy.

The guards of Slim's family were touted by the media as combat heroes, how could the heroes just sit back and wait quietly?

Qi Gehui is worthy of being an experienced veteran, but at the moment when everyone's mood was fluctuating, he gave the order to die, and he was not allowed to attack lightly.In order to prevent the pirates from predicting the movements of the convoy, he also ordered all fleets to keep moving.It's like a battle between two blind men, and the one with the stronger ability to analyze and calculate will get the upper hand.

More than two months later, except for 20 of the 3 B-level pirate groups whose whereabouts could not be found for the time being, the rest were all eliminated by the guards, and only 5 A-level pirate groups remained.At the same time, veteran Zighui's energy consumption is almost approaching the limit, and he almost relies on nutrients and stimulants to support his body.

"One or two more local battles will close the net." Zighui said confidently, "At present, the ratio of ships between the enemy and us is about 2.2 to 1. As long as a group of A-level pirates are eaten, the second stage of the battle can be announced. Finish."

Warren couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. After completing the second stage of the tug-of-war, the formation of the escort fleet will undergo a great change. The original twelve fleets will be merged into three, which greatly improves safety.

"What we need to do now is to choose a target..." Sieghui murmured to the star map, "the safest target. It must be geographically isolated, and we have to deploy troops on the periphery to prevent other pirates Come to the rescue, there must be no blind spots in detection...the best target...is...where?"

Warren saw the tiredness on Sieghui's face, and couldn't help stepping forward to comfort him: "If you can't decide for a while, you can order the staff officer to hold a meeting to discuss it."

"No, no, no, they can't discuss the result. According to the current situation, they will only argue between here and here. Do you really want to choose one of these two groups of pirates as a target? Or choose another Other places? These two seem like the best choices. But..." Sieghui's body suddenly shook.

"Principal!" The orderly on the side immediately supported the veteran.Seeing that Qi Ghui's gaze had begun to slacken, the orderly immediately injected him with an injection.

"It's a heart attack caused by fatigue," said the orderly.

Warren: "Get to the infirmary immediately! Call the medic!"

"No..." Sieghui's lips twitched.

"What?" Warren couldn't make out what he was saying.

"no……"

"Principal Sieghui! Which one is it? What do you want to tell me?" Warren asked anxiously.

"..."

As Sieghui's health deteriorated rapidly, and no target was selected before he fell into a coma, Warren had to call a meeting of all staff officers.As Sieghui expected, the opinions of the staff officers were concentrated on two goals, they argued endlessly with each other, and no one could persuade the other to accept their own opinions.

Warren thought about what Sieghui wanted to express in the end, which one is it not, and which one should he attack?The battle situation is changing rapidly, and if it is delayed, the situation may change.

What Warren didn't expect was that another piece of news that followed almost brought him into a state of collapse.

One of the twelve fleets was suddenly ambushed by pirates, killing everyone including the commander, who was the only robot among all fleet commanders.

Warren never thought he would say goodbye to Lan in this way...
