Counterfeit Hero

Ordinary people may not understand, but for any Commander, Hastings’ battle map is a priceless treasure! It is not just a map, but Hastings’ combat mindset, deduction process, tactical conception... How much they learn from these arrows and annotations, they do not know, but each of them understands that this map represents an opportunity, an opportunity to follow Hastings’ thoughts on a journey!

Over the past twenty years, Hastings has always deployed the overall strategy at military preparation meetings. The specific tactical execution is the business of the frontline command. To obtain a battle map personally created by Hastings is as difficult as reaching the sky!

No one expected that a battle map from a generation’s Military God would appear at this time, and it’s not even related to Feiyang’s most critical Karsdon Battlefield, but rather a battle map far away in the Southeast Star Domain.

Could it be that the Southeast Star Region is more important than the Karsdon Star River?!

”I’ve already sent Glasier to replace you at the Karsdon Battlefield and 5th Mixed Group Fleet.” Hastings said slowly, ”This time I asked you back for other work.”

Qian Bolin stared at the interstellar map, years of military training allowing him to instantly transform this three-dimensional interstellar map into a cosmic space in his mind, and those arrows became battles and actions in his mind.

Hastings giving him this battle map had already made him understand where he was going.

However, seeing the increasingly tense situation of the Karsdon Star River, there is bound to be a fierce battle between the Republic and the Binart Empire. Leaving Karsdon Star River at this time is like cutting flesh for any soldier eager to achieve great accomplishments and make history.

Seemingly catching a trace of hesitation and confusion in Qian Bolin’s eyes, Hastings said, ”Regarding the Southeast Star Domain situation, what’s your view?”

Qian Bolin hesitated.

Feiyang and the Binart Empire are the main forces of this war. Ultimately, the two major alliances boil down to the confrontation between these two superpowers. Whoever loses, drags the alliance down with them.

Now, both the Fei Alliance and Western Alliance have formed Joint Armies. Their wars are no longer like the independent conflicts between Leray and Gazalin. Fei Alliance Joint Army and Western Alliance are playing chess across the entire human interstellar map.

The players are naturally Hastings and Sobel.

Analyzing the Southeast Star Domain situation is not just simple situation analysis. It’s analyzing a very crucial part of this game of moving the entire board with a single move. The victories and defeats there directly affect the outcome of the entire game.

Analyzing situations is simple, but trying to guess the thoughts of Hastings and Sobel, these two chess players whose intellect borders on genius, is as hard as reaching the sky.

”Speak your thoughts,” Hastings said lightly, ”Speak freely without concern.”

”Marshal, I believe...” Qian Bolin gritted his teeth, moving his gaze away from the battle map he just started reading, and said solemnly, ”From an overall perspective, the Southeast Star Domain is currently evenly matched.”

He was organizing his thoughts in his mind, summarizing his usual analysis of the Southeast Battle Zone: ”I’ve analyzed the Resk Star System battle. Chuckna clearly hasn’t shown its real strength yet. This country has always been like this; no one can fathom their depths until they’re cornered. Without presenting their utmost effort, Suss and Jiepeng can’t decide the ownership of the Southeast Passage.”

”Oh?!” Hastings closed his eyes, gesturing for indication, ”Then you think our current strategy should be...?”

”Delay!” This word had already been circling in Qian Bolin’s mind countless times; saying it now, it came out exceptionally crisp: ”The ambitions of the two empires, Suss and Jiepeng have never been small. Without gaining enough benefit first, they can’t dispatch troops along Leray Central Channel to intervene in the Karsdon Star River war. Moreover, at this time, in the Southeast Star Domain, we still have the Southeastern Front Army led by General Fiscella threatening Leray Central Channel, with Tatania and Puditok holding back Desic, Mars Front Army, and Chuckna 12th Group Fleet threatening Southeast Passage...”

At this point, Qian Bolin paused, seeing Hastings indicate to continue, he then said: ”In my opinion, with Chuckna restraining the Southeast, even if Western Alliance is organized closely, under the circumstance of still being in our threat in the Southeast, Sobel has no reason to order the Three Great Empires to dispatch troops to Karsdon Star River. And to stabilize the Southeast, Suss and Jiepeng will be constantly held back by Chuckna.

Our strength is superior to the Binart Empire, no matter how you calculate it, the current situation is to our advantage. The only concern is Mars Free Channel. Recently, Chuckna 12th Group Fleet, using Luu Zecheng Formation, has annihilated two Suss A-level Fleets. Given the Suss people’s character, they won’t let this go. If Mars Channel falls, Suss and Jiepeng unite, block Resk Star System, and Western Alliance has no worries, relying solely on General Fiscella might not hold them off......”

”Precisely analyzed,” Hastings nodded, opened his eyes, looked at Qian Bolin, and with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth said: ”However, you are no longer the Commander of the Karsdon Star River Battlefield!”
