At this moment, Yeager Soback suddenly felt that everyone on the bridge was looking at him.
Of course he understands why everyone is like this. At this time, his fleet, the twenty-four battleships and the 28,000 members on board, are all in a rather embarrassing situation. At this moment, if the people on earth are
The fleet came with malicious intentions and attacked them from another direction. They would definitely face catastrophe. In other words, they could choose to be darker, hide on the side and watch the tigers fight, and wait until both sides are hurt before taking action.
.
In this case, the commanders on the empire's side need to make a wise decision.
Soback was caught in a dilemma. He told himself rationally that war is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships. The empire and the community did not break up, and the Thirteenth Fleet opposite should still be a friendly force. However, as a contented day
Man, he really doesn't dare to place his hopes on the character of the other person.
Fortunately, before he could hesitate for a few seconds, the Thirteenth Fleet on the opposite side did not even move closer to our side, but pounced directly on the drone carrier over there.
At the same time, the Aurora also brought several Ranger-class cruisers and dropped strong photon interference bombs towards the target.
"Well, the people on earth are still friendly forces." Serlu sighed: "It is true that as you said, the people on earth also have warriors who value their sense of honor and will not take advantage of others' danger. However, we can also take advantage of it.
Look, is the other party really practicing some new tactics? By the way, there are also those new assault ships."
Unfortunately, although the eight new assault ships formed an independent combat unit, they were always on standby near the two large aircraft carriers. The strong photon jamming bombs of the Earth people did have an effect, allowing a large number of drones to attack
He lost control in a short period of time and turned into a headless fly hovering in place.
Taking this opportunity, the fleets released by the two aircraft carriers rushed towards the round drone carrier.
The most conspicuous among them is the squadron of White Devil fighter jets equipped with light-wing equipment.
They seemed to be holding daggers in their hands, and moved swiftly and fiercely like assassins. In an instant, they rushed within the warning range of the drone mothership and threw anti-matter bombs at close range.
A total of three of the 12 anti-matter bombs hit. If the distance had not been reached, it would have been almost impossible to achieve this hit rate with the anti-jamming capabilities and maneuverability of these ancient drones.
The three anti-matter bombs did not cause fatal damage to the unmanned mothership, and even only removed its shield and a ring of armor. However, this was enough for the rest of the Earth fighters that came over. They were like a group of
Crazy wasps began to attack a bull whose fur had been torn off, and began to bleed it continuously.
"Your Excellency, we should also have that kind of equipment." Lieutenant Colonel Peggese said to Sobek.
"...Oh, you are referring to the White Phantom fighter?"
"The performance of the fighter jet is excellent, but at most it can only reach 90% of that of my country's new Zidian Dragon fighter jet." Lieutenant Colonel Peggese shook his head and said: "What really brings about revolutionary progress is actually the new accessory component."
"Well, that's called a light wing. However, if such a thing is installed on a fighter plane, it will increase the difficulty of the overall maintenance of the aircraft carrier, and of course it will also have an impact on the number of aircraft it can carry." Miss Sellu said.
The lieutenant colonel nodded, but then said: "But, it is all worth it. I have checked all the achievements of this fighter squadron in the past year's battles. I personally feel that if the people on earth were not equipped with only one squadron,
But several brigades, which may play a decisive role in the fleet battle."
Soback is a bit difficult to understand. He is just an orthodox officer, and naturally a believer in the orthodox cannon and giant ship doctrine. He has always believed that small battleships and fighter planes are used for auxiliary purposes. He is like a flag-waving cheerleader following a knight.
auxiliaries and servants.
Lieutenant Colonel Peggese said: "If I have to give an example, the previous fighters might just be auxiliary archers holding soft bows. They could harass the military formation, but they could not cause effective damage to the heavily armored knights. But what if this is the case?
Fighter…”
"Have you become an elite crossbow-wielding archer?" Serlu asked.
The new captain of the Blizzard said: "It's probably not to that level yet. It's more like a kamikaze with an armor-breaking cone. After all, these drones are only civilian models and have no specialized air defense capabilities. As for the Predator warship, it itself
The design is also very extreme. Most of them have extremely strong firepower and jumping ability. They are strong in attack and weak in defense. They are very afraid of dogfights by small airframes. This is the White Phantom fighter of the people on earth, which can attack its own side with almost no damage.
Under such circumstances, the reason for achieving such military exploits is that if we encounter our close defense network composed of Holy Shield class and Iron Guard class, even if we can get close quickly with this light wing, the casualties will definitely be huge. But..."
"But it's worth it, right?" Soback said.
Lieutenant Colonel Peggese nodded: "Even if a hundred fighters are sacrificed, 20% of them can break through the defense network and drop anti-matter bombs, and it is possible to severely damage a Dreadnought. This kind of battle loss ratio is so worth it."
Soback thinks this makes sense.
Serlu on the other side seemed to be thinking more, and immediately showed a heavy expression: "Sir, your new paper should preferably include an evaluation of this new type of equipment and countermeasures."
Why is this paper becoming more and more complicated even before it’s even started? Soback started to get nervous after hearing this.
"...However, I'm afraid the gentlemen in the Generalissimo's Mansion would find it difficult for us to introduce aircraft models from Earthlings!" Serge said.
"Yes, even just introducing light-wing equipment is very difficult." Lieutenant Colonel Peggese also sighed. Before becoming the captain, he had been serving in the central organization of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, and he was very aware of the problems in the central department.
Bureaucratic habits.
In other words, all large organizations with a long history will inevitably suffer from this problem. This does not depend on whether the Tirello people have strong martial virtues.
"Unless the person responsible for the matter in the Generalissimo's Mansion is His Highness King Suliuka." Soback said casually.
As soon as he said these words, it was not easy for others to answer the question. Lieutenant Colonel Peggese simply focused all his attention on the battle command, as if the conversation just now had never happened. Miss Serru pondered.
Half a minute later, he bit his lip and whispered: "Your Excellency, I personally cannot represent my family, but I can represent myself. If you really make a decision, we old subordinates will follow your decision.
of."
Soback also felt as if he had just said something extraordinary casually, and immediately shuddered greatly.
Fortunately, there are other situations at the scene that can divert attention.
No, when Earth's first wave of fighter jets ran out of ammunition and began to return, the fire on the spherical drone carrier became more intense. But in this way, wouldn't a human head be equivalent to being killed by Earth?
Has anyone robbed it?
The Imperial Army officers and soldiers were freed from the sense of crisis of being flanked by two sides, and immediately realized the problem, and everyone began to move forward bravely.
In this way, the target being attacked from both sides became the drone mothership and its fleet that had entered the galaxy randomly.
The scale of this ancient drone group is indeed very large. Even in the Battle of the Dawn Star Territory, the expeditionary army soldiers rarely encountered a group of enemy aircraft of this size. In addition to the A-type attack aircraft that used close-range disintegration, cutting and impact, and
There are B-types with short-range cutting lasers and long-range light speed traction, and there are also many C-types that can project orbital artillery shells and electromagnetic interference missiles.
It has been difficult for the top leaders of the coalition to understand that since these drones are used for mining, what is the deal with this type C equipped with military weapons?
It can only be said that it is to prevent pirates and space beasts. Who can guarantee that there will be no pirates in the era of enlightened people?
If a fleet of this size appeared on the most intense battlefield of the Battle of the Dawn Star Territory and cooperated with the complete fleet of predators, it might really cause trouble for the main fleet of the expeditionary force. But now, no matter how many they are,
, has indeed become a type of "space beast". Faced with the two-sided attack of the Community and the Empire, these drones will not even run away or hit the troops to deal with them all the way, but will be exhausted in the pull, and then perished in the fierce battle.
under gunfire.
Three hours later, the fleets of both sides finally met victoriously next to the wreckage of the fallen drone mothership, after paying a total of less than 200 casualties and five warships with minor injuries.
"Thank you for your support." Soback said.
"No, it's thanks to your army's frontal combat that it gave us the opportunity to outflank it," Marklov said.
"What a perfect collaboration."
"Yes, it's the same as countless battles in the Dawn Star Territory."
"Want to come over for a drink?"
"why not?"
Then, the two commanders burst out laughing at the same time.
This is called human kindness! Miss Serlu on the side couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Then, the two sides began to exchange information with a candid attitude.
According to the Thirteenth Fleet, after speeding away... and splitting up with friendly forces, they left the main channel of the New World Highway and prepared to go to some branch channels to observe. You know, they were driven out of the main channel by the patrol fleet.
The pirates in the channel can only scatter towards the nearby unmanned star systems. These pirates are like acne. Even if they are eliminated quickly, they will always thrive as long as there is oil and water.
Then, 20 hours ago, the Thirteenth Fleet discovered this group of drones in the D-4-188 galaxy on the branch line of the New World Highway. However, they did not actively attack the people on earth, but went directly towards the main channel.
Started months ago.
If these rampaging killing machines were allowed to enter the main waterway where there were many civilian ships, the consequences would be disastrous. The Thirteenth Fleet pursued them all the way.
Fortunately, the drone swarm did not rush to the main channel in the end, but encountered the imperial fleet in an unmanned system that was three jumps away from the main channel.
Then came this jungle battle with two sides attacking from both sides.
"However, we always feel that the other party's transfer is not blind, but has a certain purpose." Major General Marklov said: "Could it be for your army?"
Soback was not sure for a moment whether the other party was joking or serious, so he could only make a thinking expression like a reflex: "This is not scientific, and of course it does not conform to our past combat experience."
"So, I'm just guessing. Hahahaha, maybe people just start to have random thoughts as they get older?"
"If these drones are only going to attack us, who stands to gain the most?"
The two fleet (real) commanders, who were two generations apart, looked at each other and burst into hearty laughter again. The two of them had no idea why they were laughing, but it seemed that it would be bad not to laugh at this time.
It's over.
In short, both the process and the result of the battle were almost perfect. The only flaw was the heavily damaged armed merchant ship Candide. These out-of-control ancient drones could attack regardless of whether they were in front of a warship or a merchant ship.
All living beings are equal. In other words, because the merchant ship was hit by a bullet at the beginning, its movements immediately slowed down, and it suffered more attacks in a short period of time.
So, when the battle ended, this fat armed merchant ship had been broken into two parts in the middle, lost all energy responses, and completely reduced to space junk.
"What a pity. As soldiers, it is our duty to protect the people! However, we can only watch the people being massacred and do nothing." The imperial officers expressed very guilty.
"But, in this case, will the spices on the ship become ownerless?" another officer said.
"...You are really nothing! What's the difference between this and touching a corpse to eat a dead family?"
"But, the registration of this ship is with the Alliance."
"Oh, that's no problem."
Even so, Soback sent a rescue team to the wreckage of the ship out of the basic conscience of a living person. After the Earth side learned about it, they also took the same action.
They then rescued more than 20,000 tons of spices packed in space containers from the wreckage of the ship, plus more than 30 survivors. However, after a random face recognition, they found that half of these people were on the wanted list.
On the scene, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became subtle.
As a result, the twenty thousand tons of spices were added one by one to five, and the empire and the community were divided into half. The happy scene of the two armies getting together suddenly became beautiful.
Soback was in a particularly good mood. He originally thought he would buy it at a low price, but now it is a free prostitution. After all, even if it is only half, it is enough to give two to three thousand to all the soldiers in the army.
I still have a lot of the Golden Dragon bonus left.
"I have some connections at the Gate of Glory. How about we sell them together? I'll just charge a 3% handling fee and shipping fee. There's no other way. If it's just me, I can save all this money. But
There are so many brothers below, so we don’t dare to be willful." Soback said.
"I understand, I understand, this fee is very reasonable. We can accept it," Marklov said.
"It's just that when you come to the Gate of Glory this time, you should have other official matters, right? Handling our trophies won't waste your time?" Eleanor Bonaparte said.
"It won't be delayed. You must have been overly worried. We are all very experienced while doing business and personal work at the same time." Miss Viscount Cerro said.
"Ahahahaha, business is business. It's not easy to collect 10,000 tons, but it's easy to get discounts when it comes to 20,000 tons. I'll collect the cash directly and send it directly to Tuanjie?" Soback laughed.
"No, no, let's send it to the D17 galaxy on Dawn Road. Then we can make an appointment casually," Marklov said.
"Oh, will you use Dawn Continent as a security patrol area in the near future?" Serge said.
"No, no, we are going to plant some mines somewhere. If these drones appear again, they might be killed by themselves," Eleanor said.
"You are really witty. I thought that all graduates of your country's Central Defense University lacked a sense of humor."
"Both and each other, I also thought that the Astral Knights were all majestic and solemn types."
"Ah ha ha ha ha..." Everyone held the wine glasses, laughed and toasted to this great era of increasing prosperity and development. At least at that time, the soldiers of both armies felt that peace was actually very beautiful.
