[The Sherman Empire's temporarily formed Sixth Expeditionary Fleet was ambushed by the Fallen Alliance fleet in the New Ori Empire.
After an hour and a half of fierce fighting, the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet was completely wiped out, and one dreadnought and thirty-two large battleships were captured by the Fallen Alliance fleet.
The rapid support fleets dispatched by the Sherman Empire were all sniped by the combined fleets of the Fallen Alliance and the New Ori Empire, and suffered heavy damage.
The Fallen Alliance fleet has currently withdrawn from the New Ori Empire. The New Ori Empire officially announced its unconditional surrender to the Sherman Empire. However, the New Ori Empire fleet has retreated to the border of the New Ori Empire and is heading to the other two empires that are suffering from the Sherman Empire.
The Empire invaded the former Sherman Empire by declaring independence.
How the Fallwind Alliance fleet captured the dreadnought has not yet been determined.
Currently, the Sherman Empire and the Fallen Wind Alliance have not released any official news related to this.】
…
Allison looked at the battle report in front of him and was somewhat confused.
what's the situation?
Just when the live broadcast between White Ghost and the Emperor of the Sherman Empire attracted the attention of human civilization in the galaxy, the Fallen Wind Alliance took the initiative and made a big move?
How dare they?
Do you really think the Sherman Empire has completely weakened?
Although the current Sherman Empire is in internal chaos, the army is not in chaos. Their New Federation has the most say on this point. The war launched by the Sherman Empire against their New Federation is still beyond their control.
Get started.
But Allison personally feels that under the current circumstances, this New Ori ambush can definitely be regarded as a great victory for the anti-imperial camp!
This is simply a shot in the arm!
Allison felt like she was getting excited!
But soon, the closed-door meeting of lawmakers from both parties that he was attending was poured cold water on him.
"The Luofeng Alliance's military adventure cannot bring us substantial help. On the contrary, they will attract the Levi Fleet."
An old congressman said in a deep voice:
"The Luofeng Alliance is still too immature.
"This emerging political system likes to take this wrong route. They like to simplify some extremely complex issues and thereby ignore the real problems.
"The Sherman Empire went to war against us and has been controlling the scale of the war. In fact, it wants to shape us into the villains that the people think it is.
"Now, the situation is at risk of getting out of control, and we will also be implicated by the Luofeng Alliance."
"The story of Edwan is very touching," another old congressman said solemnly, "but what he can touch is only those political systems that are not in direct conflict with the empire, and those citizens who are overflowing with sympathy. This can't change anything.
At most, it just makes Luofeng Master famous."
"How much military strength can the Fallen Wind Alliance resist the Sherman Empire?"
"Two battle groups, probably. If we only count the strength on paper and don't take into account the strong combat qualities of the Sherman Empire, the fleets in the Luofeng Alliance are made of all nations and miscellaneous brands."
The old man who presided over the meeting said solemnly: "The purpose of our meeting today is to discuss this matter. The Luofeng Alliance took the initiative to attack the Sherman Empire and achieved a great victory in a very short period of time, completely annihilating the Sherman Empire's third army.
The Sixth Expeditionary Fleet severely damaged the military power of the Sherman Empire, how should we express our stance?"
The venue became silent.
The gentle old people were sitting on comfortable sofas, either puffing away smoke or frowning in deep thought.
Someone asked: "How did they do it?"
The congressman in charge of military intelligence said slowly:
"According to the information we currently have, they are cooperating with the New Ori Empire's army internally and externally.
"The New Ori fleet pretended to be defeated and left, giving up the star field near the first star. Their officials took the initiative to surrender to the Sherman Empire, lowering Sherman's side's vigilance.
"Because the Sherman Empire's fleet was temporarily reorganized, many ships were transferred from the battle group that originally threatened the Luofeng Alliance, so the preparations were insufficient. They took this opportunity to carry out preparations in the star system where the first star is located.
"Then, the explosion matrix planted by New Ori in advance caused violent fluctuations in the star's magnetic field and strong flare activity, which damaged sensitive components on some ships of the Sherman Empire.
"The fleet of the Fallen Alliance suddenly appeared near the Sherman Empire fleet. According to the information we received, after the Sherman Empire fleet's detector failed, it accurately jumped to the vicinity of the Sherman Empire fleet.
Sixty-four points surrounded the Sherman Empire in the shape of a sphere, and took advantage of the chaos to launch an ambush.
"What needs to be noted here is that the Luofeng Alliance and the New Ori Empire army seem to have been in secret for a long time, and their cooperation is very tacit.
"Another point is... our technical team has analyzed many possibilities, but cannot determine what method the Luofeng Alliance used to capture the Sherman Empire's dreadnought."
Allison said:
"I also want to say this. There is no video circulating at the scene. The information we have is from the early stages of the war.
"The spherical encirclement net is an ideal fleet tactic. This tactic has a fatal flaw, which is that it is difficult to dispatch. The ranges of the main ships and fire supplementary ships are inconsistent. It is impossible for the spherical encirclement tactic to concentrate firepower at the longest distance.
It also cannot play the role of a shield ship when attacking fortresses, which is an extremely serious flaw in ship-to-ship bombardment.
"I personally feel that since the Luofeng Alliance dared to go to war against the Sherman Empire and achieved such a huge victory as soon as they did it, they must be prepared and have their cards hidden."
The old congressmen thought for a while.
An old man asked: "Allison, in your opinion, what happened to the Luofeng Alliance?"
Allison's heart almost skipped a beat.
Yes, he is still maintaining his prophetic persona, which is his greatest value to the old men in front of him.
Although his predictions were wrong before, fortunately, he made the right bet on the matter of 'White Ghost will betray the Empire', which allowed him to regain the trust of these old people.
Now he predicts...what can he predict?
In the "Abyss" he knew, the empire declined due to the successive "exclusive" insect plagues. The New Federation rose rapidly and was able to face the empire with ease.
The current Milky Way has been turned into a mess by that bastard White Ghost!
Allison thought quickly in his mind. He must now figure out his position and figure out what these old congressmen are thinking. Facing the Sherman Empire and the powerful Levi fleet, the Fallen Alliance has no chance of winning... right?
.
"Luofeng will fail. I personally think that Luofeng will fail."
Allison said in a deep voice:
"But the Sherman Empire will suffer a huge blow and there will be violent internal turmoil. The white ghost will return like a king and set off a huge revolution within the Sherman Empire."
The old people fell silent again.
"Since they will fail, then we don't need to care more about verbal support."
"We can also show our own tolerance by not taking the blame for Luofeng. This will be a good publicity."
"Luofeng's ability to achieve such a huge victory is a sign that the democratic camp has once again defeated the evil empire. Justice must win, and democracy must win... Is that what the press release says?"
"Very good. Find a few more people to show up and publicize this great victory throughout the country. Let the CIA consider it."
"Supporting Luofeng is not our purpose. It is our purpose to consume the Sherman Empire's military reserves."
“Does the frontline need to expand the scale of the war?”
"Will this force the Levi fleet out?"
The old man in the middle sighed and began to summarize this brief meeting:
"Whether we expand or not should not depend on us and the Empire, but on the United Free States and the Guel Alliance.
"If either of them sends a fleet to support the Luofeng Alliance, then we will double the scale of the war and involve the Imperial Expeditionary Force.
"If both of them send fleets to support Luofeng, then we will completely expand the scale of the war and adopt a comprehensive counterattack posture so that this imperial expeditionary force cannot escape. This is a major counterattack by the democratic camp.
"Of course, we don't want to engage in fierce exchanges of fire with them. It's enough to maintain a posture and maintain a local conflict.
"If the two of them only verbally support Luofeng, then we will withdraw part of the troops on the front line. They are just three marginal planets, and there is no value in causing us to lose blood. The flame of democracy will not be extinguished because of a temporary failure.
"As for Luofeng, we must fully express our regrets and express our sympathy."
Many members nodded slowly and raised their hands in agreement.
Allison sighed inwardly, but a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
This is the new federation, and risks can never be taken.
He likes this model.
…
at the same time.
Near the first star of the Guel League.
Tatamado, who was having breakfast, almost had his eyes popping out of his head after seeing the first-hand information about the 'New Ori Victory'.
"Oh, Goddess, are my dear friends crazy?"
Tatamado looked at his subordinates beside him, put down his knife and fork, took off his scarf, and read the battle report again, his wrinkled face full of doubts.
"Are you sure this isn't an old April Fool's Day joke?"
"No, General. In fact, we have verified it. Insiders within the Imperial Military Department told us that the top brass of the Imperial Military Department are almost crazy. They also cannot believe that the weak Luofeng Alliance dared to provoke the powerful Xie Er.
The Man Empire, in such a short period of time, completely wiped out one of their well-equipped conventional combat groups.
"There are reasons for cleverly utilizing stellar activity, and there are also many factors that we cannot analyze so far."
"Oh my god! ***!"
Dotamado cursed:
"Yang Ming told me before that as long as the empire's fleet rushes towards Luofeng, Luofeng will definitely launch a counterattack against them, and we can rush to support them at that time.
"We have the fleet ready.
"The story about Edwang's death that he made has made our citizens feel 10,000 percent sympathy for Luofeng. If we support Luofeng, we are in compliance with public opinion and can win the support of the people!
"He didn't tell me that they actually took the initiative to attack the empire's fleet and swallowed up an entire battle group...how did they do it?"
"I don't know, General... they even captured a dreadnought from the Sherman Empire."
"What?!"
Dotama had a question mark on his face.
"Call me General Yang Ming's message... Be polite, I want to ask when is the best time for our fleet to enter the country."
"Yes, General."
"They are simply a miracle team, and their enemies are truly terrifying."
Tatamado muttered to himself.
…
Outside the First Star of the Free United States.
Forerunner No. 4 was swimming happily in the swimming pool, and his men on the side hurried over, knelt on one knee by the swimming pool, and quickly announced the victory of New Ori.
"Ha," Forerunner No. 4 sneered, "This Luofeng is really brave. This kind of victory is also based on the empire's carelessness in underestimating the enemy. What should they do next? Relying on the indignation of the whole people.
Emotions, drowning the Empire's Armada with saliva? The most terrifying thing about the Empire is its size. It uses its own size to raise the largest fleet in the galaxy."
Another subordinate came quickly from the side, knelt on one knee and whispered:
"Brother, the dedicated communicator numbered 001 is ringing!"
Forerunner No. 4 was stunned for a moment, and then an excited spirit climbed out of the swimming pool and ran barefoot towards his own small private space.
A few minutes later.
Forerunner No. 4 scratched his head and walked out of the room, calling a few younger brothers beside him.
"Help me contact some ministers.
"The righteous Fallen Wind Alliance has launched a full-scale counterattack against the Sherman Empire. As the spiritual leader of the freedom camp in the galaxy, how can we, the United States of Freedom, watch this great country be defeated by the Sherman Empire?
"The Sherman Empire is just a paper tiger now.
"Well, the premise is that high-dimensional civilization really wants to kill the Sherman Empire."
Several younger brothers looked at each other in confusion.
…
"Okay, that's it, the people of Luofeng will not forget the friendship of the Guel Alliance."
Yang Ming impatiently hung up the communication with Dotamado, then turned and ran to the particle transmission machine nearby.
A burst of bright light flashed, and Yang Ming's figure appeared at the open outer hatch of the dreadnought.
They are currently at the border of Luofeng Empire, near Dark Star Base 3.
The captured Sherman Empire dreadnought, together with the more than thirty heavy battleships, were currently hovering near a meteorite belt, surrounded by hundreds of high-performance Dark Star battleships.
After Yang Ming entered the outer cabin, the first thing he saw was the body bags and corpses.
A dreadnought is like a small city inside, with over 10,000 soldiers inside.
In previous battles, in order to ensure that their drone swarm combat method would not be exposed so early, and to improve the efficiency of taking over the dreadnought ship, 60% of the soldiers in the dreadnought ship had been cleared, and the rest surrendered.
The dead soldiers were deeply anesthetized and moved to several transport ships to use as bargaining chips in subsequent negotiations with the empire.
According to interstellar convention, this meteorite belt is the burial ground of these imperial soldiers.
Let their corpses accompany the dust in the universe.
This made Yang Ming lose most of his interest in admiring his first dreadnought.
He put his hands behind his back, wearing the military uniform of the Fallen Alliance, and walked in front of the mountains of body bags. He watched the mechanical guards move the bodies near the hatch and throw them out of the hatch like they were carrying goods and cleaning up garbage.
particle protective film, I felt infinite emotion in my heart.
This is war.
"Boss," Lu's voice sounded from beside him, "Are you too rude?"
"It's nothing," Yang Ming said, "Pay attention to efficiency, we will use this ship on the battlefield soon... Can it be used?"
Law explained: "It will take about thirty-six galactic hours to prepare, and it should be ready before the empire officially sends troops."
Yang Ming asked: "Is the second ambush point going well?"
"It didn't go well. The imperial fleet responded quickly. They started to escape quickly."
Lu's realistic image gradually took shape, also wearing an imperial military uniform, following Yang Ming with his hands behind his back.
"Our purpose is to annihilate part of the empire's conventional military forces and achieve a series of political goals. We have now achieved our expected goals.
"In the next half hour, three tributary countries will declare independence and apply for political asylum in the new federation.
"The New Federation will give us verbal support. There will be two battle groups on the Guel Alliance's side that will jump to the border of the Fallen Empire. The Free Republic is not sure. The bottom line is that there will be one battle group to create momentum. If you want
Letting them join the war will cost us a little more."
"In fact, in the final analysis, it still depends on us."
Yang Ming sighed, walked to the side window, and stared at the meteorite belt.
"The Fallen Wind Alliance needs to be a rock to break the huge waves coming from the Sherman Empire. That will become the real point of decline of the Sherman Empire.
“But there is a price to pay in blood.
"Liu, I have some self-doubt... Does it really make sense to let so many people die for an idea of mine?"
Lu said softly: "Boss, when cancer occurs in the body, only by eliminating the cancer cells can the body survive."
"But I don't have much thought for the development of human civilization in the galaxy. I am not a noble person."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows:
"This is always my selfish interest. What I want is to let Luofeng rise and be controlled by me, so that I can give my hometown super treatment, and then use my true strength to threaten other forerunners and let them inform their mother.
Star, don't compete with my hometown... Yes, that's my purpose.
"I am just a despicable and shameless war initiator.
"There's nothing wrong with that, and I don't need anyone to agree with me.
"I can also accept the backlash of the failure of this operation calmly. I must fight hard, otherwise my hometown has no chance of winning."
After saying that, Yang Ming turned to look at Lu, his eyes were firm, his face was calm, and his eyes did not waver at all:
"The whole territory of the Fallen Wind Alliance is broadcasting the victory of New Orui, eliminating all discordant voices, and allowing people to start entering the shelters built during the insect wave."
