"The progress of the finished product? This is currently the highest military secret." Facing Yu Lian's casual question, Colonel Silva put on a fake smile and lowered his voice a bit: "But... Your Excellency, Chairman of the Generalissimo
This is regarded as a key research project, and it should be prepared for the celebration, right?"
Yu Lian was startled for a moment, and then realized that what the other party should have said was the official celebration of the Knights’ Anniversary of the founding of the country the year after next. By that time, six of the dreadnoughts ordered from the alliance will have returned to the country and officially joined the Blue Star community.
Sequence. If the community can be equipped with the space torpedoes that shined in this exercise, the effect will of course be even better.
Although the Antarctic Laboratory's performance has been a bit awkward in recent years, it would be a different matter if there were powerful figures behind it to kick their butts.
"The impact of the Battle of Far Shore Nebula is greater than you think." Colonel Silva said with a smile: "The empire spent countless resources to create sharp weapons, but they also fell into our hands. As long as the new type
If the dreadnoughts and space torpedoes can be put into service on time, the community's national defense will remain rock solid!"
Yu Lian also accompanied Guang Tongchen and took a look at him calmly, confirming that the other party was indeed sincere in what he said, and nodded in agreement with Guang Tongchen.
Colonel Silva is a bureaucrat in the Equipment Research Department, so it is understandable that he has full confidence in new weapons. But it would be a bit scary if it was not just the Equipment Department, but also the decision-makers of the Military Command Headquarters and the National Defense Commission.
Therefore, when discussing this battle with his colleagues, Yu Lian tentatively raised some topics, but surprisingly found that compared to the newly unveiled space torpedoes, everyone was more interested in Admiral Farrell's new display.
I don't have much interest in fleet operations.
Yu Lian sighed, thinking that there were quite a few weapons, armor and intelligence experts in the observation group, but there was one less general with a natural sense of tactics like Teacher Yang Xiyi and the friends from the 830 Party!
Thinking of this, he dealt with the ensuing military meeting with a lazy attitude, returned to his room, opened the source wave communication port, spent a lot of money to open a chat room, and directly attracted everyone from the 830 Party and Teacher Yang.
Come in.
Well, not everyone.
Everyone had their own duties to attend to. Michelle 'Kent' and Chester Rozes chatted briefly, then apologized and left. William Banner simply turned off his phone. It was said that this guy was
Leading a company to conduct field march training.
Deng Zhengqing said a few more words, saying that the Fifth Fleet in which he was serving, that is, the "Inner Cantilever Strike Fleet", had recently encountered many small-scale battles. The cruiser on which he served as the second officer was even more so.
While on patrol, there was an encounter with two unidentified armed ships.
Although it is two against one, if the opponent is just a mere pirate, even if the ship is heavier than our own ship, even if the enemy ship is two or three times more numerous, the majestic community navy will certainly have the confidence to defeat it. But no matter whether the opponent is
The armament of the ship and the abilities of the crew are definitely not comparable to ordinary pirates.
Then, a very classic plot happened. The destroyer Deng Zhengqing was on was hit by a shell on the bridge. Of course, almost all the damage was blocked by the shield and armor. The only negative impact was that the ship
The bridge shook like an earthquake. As luck would have it, the captain was thrown out of his chair, fainted on the spot, and lost the ability to command.
The first mate, an older and purely technical officer, began to faint on the spot.
As a result, Deng Zhengqing, who seemed to be the protagonist, immediately took over the ship and began to counterattack.
In another world line, Captain Deng Zhengqing, the future most famous general of the 830 Party who is good at fleet operations, led his own ship and sank one enemy ship and seriously damaged another with minimal losses.
However, this kind of strange battleship is a bit weird. It was obviously beaten to the point where the hull was half-stretched and the hull was on fire, but it still managed to start the jump engine and disappeared.
"So, what kind of enemy is it?" Yu Lian asked.
Deng Zhengqing looked at Yu Lian through the holographic projection from a distance of tens of thousands of light years. A trace of hesitation flashed on his face, but he still said: "It should be the predator."
Yu Lian opened his mouth slightly and couldn't help but clenched his fist. He felt that he was calm now, his thoughts were clear, and his head was spinning fast, but he had inexplicably entered an extremely manic state and wanted to chop off a few heads to calm down.
.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his spiritual energy, and then calmed down: "Is there any sign of invasion by the predators?"
"It's not certain yet. However, the Fifth Fleet has entered a state of emergency preparation. Don't worry, although the quality of the Fifth Fleet's personnel and ships are...well, it is actually still unsatisfactory. And they have also built fortresses and forts on the edge of the galactic center.
, what happened eighteen years ago will never happen again." Deng Zhengqing said.
"I understand, thank you for your hard work." Yu Lian said with a smile. He pays great attention to expression management now, at least his friends can't see anything wrong with him at all.
"In addition, you must also pay attention to safety. Your upper limit is at least an admiral. You can't overturn in a group of space hyenas!" Yu Lian reminded again.
"I'm lucky. The ship was damaged and needs major repairs. It will take at least a month before it can sail. It's just a good time to hide." Deng Zhengqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I still have a lot of business to communicate with the shipyard, so I will first
going offline."
"I will send the results of our discussion to everyone." Yu Lian smiled and said: "When I was in college, your fleet formation was always A+, but your strength is urgently needed."
After Deng Zhengqing went offline, Yu Lian looked at the three people left in the chat room, namely Teacher Yang, Hongmao and Glasses, and couldn't help but smile: "Well, we are the most idle as expected. I started with
I guessed it."
Horatio Wayne thought to himself, I was really sympathizing with you before, but I was so kind-hearted that I gave it away to the dog. If I continue to be a bad person in the future, the spirit of the universe will pull gallstones from me!
He sneered and said: "Haha, I never expected that these words would actually come out of your mouth. Comrade Chairman, just with this level of shamelessness, I know why you are the chairman."
Hey! I haven’t seen you for half a year. My red-haired classmate is really good at talking!
However, at this time, Yu Lian was too lazy to talk to him and said straight to the point: "Have you all seen the live military exercise just now? There is a lack of details on the news channel, so I will sort it out and send it to everyone. However, compared to
What I care about more about the space torpedoes is actually the formation adopted by Admiral Farrell. I think this is an important reason why the red side can achieve a decisive victory."
"New formation? Or formation?" Teacher Yang asked with interest.
"At present, it is only a squadron formation composed of arsenal ships and frigates. However, exercises have proven that this kind of strike fleet formation can exert greater firepower. Then, with the empire's capabilities, it is definitely possible to exert more firepower.
This advantage is used to deduce the new fleet formation." Yu Liandao.
Although everyone in this universe has been led into the evil way of fighting the enemy from the bow, it is also because of this that in order to give full play to the frontal firepower advantage and follow-up tactical actions interspersed with separation and encirclement, the commanders will naturally formulate a predetermined fleet
Formations, and changes in formations in response to battlefield conditions.
The larger the fleet is and the more ships there are, the more coordination is needed in the formation.
Of course, ships are not humans after all. Every movement of a ship requires a plurality of crew members to cooperate with the machine. Of course, the formation of the fleet cannot be as complex and changeable as large-scale group gymnastics.
It is simple but not simple.
Currently, the main fleet formations used by the navies of various countries are based on the extended horizontal formation plane.
Depending on the battle situation and the fleet configuration prepared before the war begins, the commander will usually choose to outflank both sides or break through in the center to create a chaotic battle. Although the current fleet's tactical changes are still in a certain amount, this is
In short, it is to find a way to put out more firepower than the opponent and weaken the enemy ship's peripheral strength, and then perform a gang jump on the key warship to paralyze its center.
Sounds simple, right?
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to do some fancy work, but it’s just that they really can’t do it. You must know that all formation changes test the performance of the ship and the execution ability of the captain and crew. Once there are too many fancy things,
Maybe I'll get into trouble first.
In today's galaxy, the Empire has the strongest shipbuilding capabilities, and the Empire has the best crew quality. Naturally, they have to do a lot more formation work than other countries, and of course the tactical choices are also limited.
It's more flexible.
"So, do you think that the formation adopted by Admiral Farrell is a new trick played by the empire?" Yang Xiyi was not so much asking questions as he was beginning to mutter to himself.
"That's it. The red team's formation is not a normal horizontal plane, but a 45-degree trapezoidal slope. This formation takes into account the six-speed acceleration and direction change performance of the new Skyfire Intensive Missile, as well as
The interlocking shield capability of the Guardian 4 guard ship. I tested it with a nearly model and found that the firepower delivery efficiency is at least 10% higher than most planar formations. The defense efficiency is 20% higher.
"Yu Liandao: "Of course, it is a bit difficult to change this kind of formation. Whether it is to pursue or switch to gang-hopping chaos, there is a lack of flexibility."
Having said this, he couldn't help but spread his hands and said: "I mentioned it to everyone in the observation group, but no one seemed interested."
Horatio Wayne's brows suddenly furrowed, as if he was so angry with these insects that his blood pressure rose. Of course, he did not jump or speak directly, which shows that in the past two years, the cultivation and the city government have indeed improved.
Made great progress.
As for Akinayama Hachiman, he pushed up his glasses, hiding the disdain in his eyes behind the lenses.
"It's just because it's a new tactic. As people get older, it takes time to accept new things." Yang Xiyi shrugged: "Besides, this is the result of an exercise after all. It has not been tested in actual combat. Yu Lian, you
You know, even if a new weapon has not been tested in actual combat, some people will have doubts, let alone tactics."
Yu Lian thought that although this was the truth, new tactics often appeared for new equipment. When the technology of new equipment matured, it was only a matter of time before the skills of new tactics matured.
In fact, at most five years later, the fierce strike formation that appeared in this exercise will become the standard tactic of the imperial fleet, and will be officially named the "Sky Bow Tactics". In order to combine the skyfire missiles and space torpedoes,
To maximize its power, the empire even specially developed a "Tiangong" class proprietary arsenal ship. It only took less than three years from design to service. That kind of obsession is really creepy.
From this point of view, even the second-year Imperial Japs are no better than the Japs from District 11 in our hometown.
"However, the fact that the empire has begun to innovate fleet tactics is a very alarming signal. Silva is a nerd. I knew it in school. However, I really didn't think about it. The other gentlemen in the observation group have no brains.
All of them are as tough as wild boars that can't turn, but they can still participate in such an important military delegation? What are the big shots in the National Defense Committee thinking? Do they expect wild boars to repair routers? "
"Because it's not a wild boar but a domestic pig, Teacher Yang." Hachiman said: "Foreign military observation group is a very important resume. The time is short, the treatment is good, and the gold content is high. The major factions in the military are fighting for it.
"
"Why does the military have factions? Don't you know that it is the minimum professional quality for soldiers not to interfere in politics?"
"The army must have factions to prevent it from interfering in politics! The Dukes of the National Defense Committee and Congress know this very well."
Yu Lian wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this, but this was not the time for these guys to discuss military functions and ideas. He directly interrupted the discussion between the two and said with a smile: "In short, Hachiman, here is your chance to change the world.
Come on! Let’s quickly deduce the possibility of this formation and how to restrain it, and then formulate a counter-tactic.
Akinayama Hachiman looked at Yu Lian with a dull look that was about to lose focus, pushed up his glasses again, and almost gritted his teeth, and then said helplessly: "The Thirteenth Fleet is just a total force.
A small fleet of forty ships is destined to have no chance of a decisive battle with the large fleet. I like the team atmosphere here very much, and I also like the new continent full of mysterious and unknown things. I even want to stay here forever."
Therefore, it’s none of my business whether the fleet’s battle formations are mutually exclusive or counter-attacking! This is probably what he wanted to express.
However, Yu Lian pretended not to hear: "Zhengqing is a master of fleet formation organization. You can discuss with him more. But he is busy fighting the predators now, so he mainly depends on you. By the way, there is Teacher Yang.
I'll help you keep an eye on it, so you can just think about it as you please, and you don't have to worry about going astray."
What does it have to do with me? Yang Xiyi was about to speak, but Yu Lian couldn't help but said: "You can test it with a simulated battle first. If Teacher Yang thinks it is feasible, let Brother Horatio try to practice it in the Solar System Fleet. Now
Admiral Tulio, Commander of the Fleet, is Admiral Juan your uncle, right?"
"It's just a show." Wayne said angrily.
"Then blood is thicker than water. And you are also very interested in thinking about new tactics. You happen to be very free recently."
Horatio Wayne thought to himself that if you didn't add the last sentence, I would really think you had changed your gender. Just when he was about to curse, Yu Lian changed the subject again and said to Akinayama Hachiman: "Okay, then again
Let’s talk about the New World. How is the situation now?”
Hachiman pondered for a moment and said: "It's nothing more than suppressing bandits, exploring, collecting intelligence, drawing new star maps, etc. Our manpower is limited, so we can only act cautiously. It's just..."
"only?"
"Recently, there seems to be a lot of strange things happening here in Xinyumen."
