With Shepard's team as the vanguard, Xie Yuan, Xili, and the foreign Eldar team as the spearhead, and the Star Alliance elites led by Ashley as the reserve force, they worked together to complete the acquisition of the Collector battleship.
Moreover, the battle damage situation was particularly gratifying. All the collectors from the consul level down were killed, and our own casualties were only about 20 people, only 4 people died on the spot, and only 3 people died after the rescue failed...
Single-digit casualties in an important military operation are basically a huge victory.
Of course, according to the Star Alliance's military system of Bald Eagle, the three people who died after the war failed to be rescued were not considered dead in battle... However, Xie Yuan had planned to privately fund these three unlucky men and provide pensions for those who died in battle in his personal capacity.
equal assistance.
Xie Yuan's troops have a complex composition, including marines and fleet crew members who belong to the regular Star Alliance army; there are mutant troops and crew members who were originally part of his own private army and have now become members of the Pan-Asian Self-Defense Forces; and there are also guests who serve as friendly support.
Army - A large mixed company of Space Marines under Curze and Angron.
The Eldar team can only be regarded as Xie Yuan's mercenaries.
Faced with these troops with complex backgrounds, Xie Yuan tried to treat everyone equally and give them what they needed.
The Space Marines are the most satisfied. Because as the guest army of Curze and Angron, they only need to participate in missions with huge risks and high returns-except for the Collector battleship this time, similar missions in the future will be thanked.
Yuan basically lets professionals use it as a sharp knife.
The functions of the Mutant Forces and Star Alliance Marines will gradually become equal - that is, they will play a cooperative role in subsequent battles.
Fortunately for the mutant troops, after they join the Pan-Asian Self-Defense Forces, members of the Continental Self-Defense Forces will soon join this independent group, which is mainly composed of mutants, to help the chief officer assist in management.
The key point is that Xie Yuan intends to use a pan-Asian stable system to reward, punish and appease his troops.
Because Xie Yuan planned to use meritorious service and bribes against certain Marine Corps officers to corrupt the Marine Corps' loyalty to the Star Alliance Navy.
In fact, in this battle, and even in the last battlefield, the performance of the Marines was unsatisfactory - although they did not lose their vitality, they always made a fool of themselves.
However, there are many reasons for this - a few years have passed since the Battle of Tofan and even the Battle of the Citadel. The Marine Corps has rarely fought small battles, let alone big battles and tough battles.
The number of times is also pitiful.
The basic methods are still good, but no matter how determined they are, they are starting to become lax.
Secondly, the Collector was not given in vain - the precision and ferocity of the combat methods in the last encounter and the rebound gang battle caused the Marines and mutant troops, except for the Space Marines, to suffer considerable casualties.
In this battle, if Xie Yuan alone had not attracted most of the collector's defensive force, or if the Eldar team had exerted its maximum output. How could the Marine Corps expect to achieve a major victory with only so many people killed?
However, this will not reduce the elite status of the Marines in Xie Yuan's heart - because if they were not elite, the casualties would be even more severe.
It's just that when the number of collectors is too large, they do have abnormal resistance capabilities, which cannot be competed by elite human troops who are just flesh and blood.
Under normal circumstances, it is very common to deal with this collector warship and cancel the establishment of an elite marine force. But precisely because Xie Yuan really did not want to participate in the tedious questioning of the hearing and the hateful and sad eyes of the bereaved family members,
He chose to simply carry it on his own.
And this is also the most direct reason why he turned over the mutant troops to the public - since he has no ambition to dominate the galaxy here, then these mutants who are far inferior to him in ability actually have no big impact other than the role of flag-waving.
effect.
In fact, as a public official, Xie Yuan has more power in his hands, the less hidden dangers he will face - he directly hands over intelligence to Ada, hands over military strength to Zephyr and Little Angel, and hands over to Coze for support.
and Angron.
The only thing he needs to do is to hone his personal strength and accumulate connections - he does not want to become Shepard's second best, but at least he must have connections in the power of each ethnic group and have channels of communication.
For example, after capturing the Collector battleship this time, Xie Yuan has already divided the profits - striving to let every force he comes into contact with get a share of pork, so as not to worry about scarcity but inequality.
Because the area where the Collector warship was fighting this time was the Turian border, 15 minutes after Xie Yuan personally intervened in the Collector warship, the Turian patrol fleet also joined the battlefield.
Although the Turians actually just put up a posture and fired a few shots in the end, their names must be recorded in the battle report to describe their achievements.
The first choice in the military merit book is Kayden, followed by Ashley, followed by the Star Alliance sailors and marines on the battleship - this time the military merits are all due to the Star Alliance Council's free employment, the Star Alliance Navy's bold plan, and Major Kayden of the Restoration
Heroic, calm command and Sergeant Ashley's ferocious drive lead the charge - and only by uniting and not fearing sacrifice can the Marines win the battle.
It can be said that most of the military merits and honors this time were given to the Star Alliance, while a small part was given to the Turians.
Now that the Star Alliance Council and the Navy have gained face, Lizi shouldn't care too much - the first thing is that the Collector's ship must be handed over to the Citadel Council, along with the rest of the ship and the Restoration in its hull.
The bodies of the collectors from the Shangtiao Gang must also be delivered together.
There is no way. Now the senior officials of the Citadel are very clear that the collectors are the Protheans who have survived after being taught. Since they are the relics of the Protheans... or even the remains, they should be controlled by the Citadel and centralized.
manage.
At this point, Xie Yuan could not defy the rules, nor could he not follow them - the ghost agent's first allegiance was still the Citadel.
However, the ownership of thousands of pods, which are not the original objects of the Collector warship, is particularly important. Here Xie Yuan intends to allow Pan Asia to gain the right to comfort these rescued residents.
All in all, my relationship belongs to Pan-Asian, so it’s impossible not to do something for Pan-Asian, right?
Of course, on the other hand, Pan Asia may not come alone to save so many residents - the Star Alliance Council will not give up the glory of gaining such a large public support... the operation may very well become a joint operation.
But who cares, if it weren't for the name Pan Asia, Xie Yuan would have all the means to make it impossible for his entire fleet to get through - why should I, a member of Pan Asia, let the Star Alliance get such huge benefits?
Who do I belong to in the Star Alliance? I sold a favor to Cerberus, and Cerberus knew how to return it properly - giving a favor to the Star Alliance Council is worse than throwing money into the water - at least I can still hear the sound.
!
However, all this is false. What Xie Yuan has to do now is to return to the ship to rest after clearing all hostile signals - the Turians and Star Alliance Marines have taken over some internal security, and the mutant troops are stepping up their efforts.
Open the pod, rescue all the dying residents inside and send them to the Guangfu for emergency treatment.
…
Fortunately, Xie Yuan greeted them early, and three hours later, the first batch of large-scale civilian fleets suddenly appeared in this galaxy.
After saying hello to the Turian border patrol fleet, a large number of non-military ships began to approach the Restoration, while another group of ships began to sail toward the Collector battleship.
Of course, as expected, the two locations were blocked by the Marine Corps, but Xie Yuan soon used his captain's authority to forcefully approve the request to approach.
Of course, this unsurprisingly also aroused Kaiden's dissatisfaction.
"Yuan!" Kaiden came to Xie Yuan's captain's office and said frantically, "Rescuing refugees needs to be done in the official name of the Star Alliance Council."
"But didn't you listen to the Turian people's request?" Xie Yuan glanced at Kaiden doubtfully, "They asked that they must come to pick them up in an unofficial way - does Pan Asia belong to the official? Doesn't Pan Asia belong to the Stars?
Union Congress?”
"But -" Kaiden was also speechless for a while. He had just spoken to Udina, who sternly asked him to hold off the Pan-Asian civilian rescue fleet until the Star Alliance transportation fleet arrived.
But Kaiden knew very well that the refugees needed to be rescued as soon as possible, and Xie Yuan was determined to designate Pan Asia to pick them up this time - being caught in the middle made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Don't worry about what other people say. I am your immediate superior." Xie Yuan came over and patted Kaiden on the shoulder. "This time it's just some people who want to do a face-saving project - as long as the military doesn't give you an order, you don't need to pay attention.
.”
"Yes, Captain." Kaiden also sighed helplessly, "But I really don't want to see the conflict intensify... I'm going to handle the matter."
"Go ahead."
After Kaiden saluted Xie Yuan and said goodbye, he turned around and left the captain's cabin. Then he opened the door and saw the dusty director-general.
But the two of them just nodded and then passed by each other.
"Congratulations, Xie Yuan." The Director General bowed his hand, "You have just taken charge of a battleship and you have made such an extraordinary achievement. The future history of space ships will definitely have such a strong mark."
"Alas! It's just a small victory." Xie Yuan didn't take it seriously, and then looked at the Director General, "It seems that the Star Alliance Council is a little anxious."
"That's right. But it's useless to rush. The Star Alliance rarely has a civilian fleet with great maneuverability like ours. It prepares, reports, and then dispatches... ten days and a half are spent like this."
The Director General glanced at Xie Yuan as he spoke: "And this time you shared a huge amount of military exploits with the Turians and the Star Alliance Navy, and handed over the Collector battleship to the Citadel Council. These three direct
Your related parties don’t mind reciprocating the favor and giving us some feedback.”
"Although the Star Alliance Navy needs to get the parliament to approve annual funding, a dazzling victory can make them more confident in asking for money - of course they will not trouble me." This is why Xie Yuan is confident that his plan for dividing piles is not bad.
The biggest reason.
However, when he said this, Xie Yuan also showed a worried look: "I am very worried. After you pick up the person again, will the Star Alliance Council secretly cause trouble? Do you need me to follow you all the way to escort him?"
"Stumbling blocks are inevitable, but there is no need to worry about this. The civilian fleet also has resistance, and the Star Alliance Council only dares to harass, not forcefully." The Director General affirmed Xie Yuan's concerns, but did not take it seriously.
, and also rejected Xie Yuan's suggestion, "Your existence must always be in a neutral position, otherwise it will have a bad impact on your perception in the eyes of the members of the Citadel Parliament."
"I understand." Xie Yuanxu accepted the instructions with an open mind.
"Well, then, is there anything else you need my help with?" The director-general stayed for a while and was about to say goodbye.
"Well...it really is. I hope you can help secretly publicize Shepard's main role in this operation." Xie Yuan thought for a while and finally made a request.
"Why? You should know that Shepard has a very strong background in the Star Alliance, and it is impossible to switch to another alliance with such a connection." The Director General was puzzled by this.
Indeed, Shepard has a very deep background in the Star Alliance - his mother, a high-ranking official, has passed away, but his father, who is also a high-ranking official, and his boss and master, Senator Anderson, have an unimaginably deep bond.
But it is precisely because of this that Xie Yuan insisted on doing this: "First, as a hero, Shepard has made great contributions in this operation, and she needs reasonable publicity.
Second, Cerberus, as the leader, needs to be rewarded - one reward for scientific and technological resources, and one reward for information publicity.
…”
"Third, let the Star Alliance Council increase its hostility towards Shepard and make him fall into conflicts..." Before Xie Yuan could finish speaking, the Director General had already added what Xie Yuan wanted to explain, and then happily
Accept, "Okay! Let's do this, and at the same time, it will divert their attention from us - such a bright flag and such a blatant surrender to the enemy... it is definitely a naked blow to them."
"Heretics are always more hateful than aliens." Xie Yuan concluded.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, I will make proper arrangements." The Director General waved his hand and prepared to say goodbye, "Now you need to be careful. After all, you directly killed a Collector warship this time.
It’s hard to predict how collectors and even reapers will focus on you in the future...you have to be on guard.”
"Yes, I will be careful." Xie Yuan nodded solemnly.
The Director General walked to the door: "Then I will leave. The civilian fleet will not stay here for long. We can leave in two days at most."
"Then don't forget to listen more and watch more." Xie Yuan stretched out his hand and waved, "After all, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are."
"Brush!" The door opened, and the director-general showed an intriguing smile, "This is natural. We are not rich enough to eat the cake, so we forgot about the big cake - we are still poor! We don't have such a strong appetite."
The next two days were simple. The Pan-Asian reception fleet began to transport away the refugees stranded on the Collector battleship and the Restoration in batches.
Xie Yuan, on the other hand, held meetings for the Star Alliance Marines and the Mutant Forces in batches: the Star Alliance held a combat summary meeting, while the mutants held a welcome and summary meeting... Anyway, these two forces
They all had to summarize and reflect on the mistakes and omissions made in the last two missions - it was just that the latter included several Pan-Asian active political//work cadres.
Two days later, the containment fleet left gracefully, and the new arrival was a huge armed escort fleet from the Citadel organization, who wanted to take over the Collector battleship.
