So, is this actually a technology that interferes with or even blocks gravity well signals? King Thorane quickly thought of this possibility. Although he is known as the most capable military commander among elected emperors,
In fact, they also have a master's degree in engineering and the title of senior engineer. In other words, a considerable number of the empire's senior generals have this educational background. In this way, they can understand the performance of the latest cutting-edge weapons more quickly, and it can also be easier
Develop new tactics.
King Thoren, who holds the title of senior engineer, certainly knows that the Wisdom Palace and Tiangong Institute are also developing this technology, but it is only in the demonstration stage. The opposite alliance should also have plans in this area, but the progress should not be faster than our own.
Faster, otherwise the whole universe would have known about the behavior of those profiteers.
But now, this fortress already has mature technology. No, in other words, it is very likely that it is an excellent design idea that is infinitely higher than our own researchers...
King Solane is even more coveted for this fortress. In his opinion, as long as it can be taken down, the Galactic Empire will obtain the greatest Enlightenment creation in history, which will definitely give the Empire and the Alliance the hegemony
Gain a comprehensive advantage in the battle. From this perspective, isn't the invasion of the Predators and the expedition spanning two million light years a good thing?
"This is what people on Earth say about a blessing in disguise...hehe, an interesting proverb!"
The supreme commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force still has no doubts about his side's final victory, and he did not even feel the slightest disappointment because of the failure of his deep penetration tactics. He just calmly comforted the fleet that failed to return and let them
Go back and get some rest.
In addition, King Soren also ordered the arsenal fleet, which had bombarded the entire battle without achieving any results, to withdraw, and invited the scientific officers in the fleet to analyze the situation.
"It should be the shield robot that His Royal Highness King Suliuka mentioned before. We sent assault ships and fighter planes to hide and approach during the bombardment. After losing eleven assault ships and forty-seven fighter planes, we finally
We captured one." Vice Admiral Eggman, the fleet's chief scientific officer, said.
This price is a bit high. King Solain couldn't help but think. However, although he was in pain, he still showed appropriate relief and approval: "How long will it take to crack it?"
"Your Highness, I can't give you an exact time." The lieutenant general, who holds the title of Grand Master of the Wisdom Palace, shook his head in distress: "To be honest, when that thing was trapped by us with the tractor beam, it happened.
Those with high-energy reactions should be preparing to self-destruct. If Brigadier General Sha...Yinmir hadn't used psychic techniques to cool down and strip away the heat source, we wouldn't have been able to successfully capture it."
Brigadier General Yin Mir is of course someone's "Old Enemy No. 2", the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Astral Knights (youth group), and the much-anticipated true genius boy Viscount Shameen. However, since it is during war, naturally
The military rank should be stated first rather than the title.
Thoraine nodded in relief, still very satisfied with the performance of these young men in the Imperial Army, but then, he also showed a troubled expression like Lieutenant General Eggman.
The relics of the Enlightened Ones represent progress and opportunities, but they also represent crises. After all, they are the creations of ancient god-men civilizations that are countless dimensions beyond this generation. No one knows what their true purpose is, let alone the correctness.
What is the safe boot method? Therefore, it happens from time to time that it becomes a big news due to careless operation.
If it weren't for the existence of psykers, the galactic civilization's efforts to decipher and reverse-research the legacy of the Enlightened Ones would have been delayed by at least several centuries.
"Continue to crack, I will mobilize two star officers to fully cooperate with you." King Solane could only issue this order with little nutritional value, but Lieutenant General Eggman was already very satisfied and hurriedly thanked you.
The elected emperor then turned to his adjutant: "You just said that a new tactical plan was handed over from the earth?"
"Yes, Your Highness!" the adjutant said quickly: "His Royal Highness King Suliuka has just concluded the liaison meeting with the community and brought back a combat proposal, which was personally drawn up by members of their staff."
"Members of Earth's staff?" King Soleyn's eyes lit up: "Major General Yang Xiyi?"
The adjutant was slightly startled. Of course he knew that his lord and the higher-ups of the empire had already focused their attention on the young general from Earth, but he did not expect to attach such great importance to him. However, he still said: "Your Highness, Chief of Staff of the Community Fleet."
It’s Lieutenant General Tivington. She is also responsible for this tactical plan.”
"Oh, that top student!" King Solain chuckled, as if he didn't want to watch anymore. It took him half a minute to sort out his emotions, and then he carefully opened the other party's lips with a pinched nose expression.
Report.
In fact, just as the arsenal ship was bombarding the shield drones that were being grabbed at random, King Sulyuka Brynhilt also personally had a call with the top brass of the Earth Fleet.
As mentioned before, Admiral Conneris, the commander of the Community Fleet, was the first high-ranking member of the Imperial Army to have a banquet with His Highness Brunhildt, the youngest of the elected emperors. However, the final process and ending were unexpected.
They are far from perfect. Although the participants on both sides were still chatting and laughing in harmony, and the Emperor Xuan himself maintained basic etiquette on the surface, anyone with a little bit of discernment could tell that His Highness the Emperor Xuan was...
dissatisfaction and irritability.
...For Admiral Conneris, who organized the banquet, it was simply a torture, and he even had a bit of self-doubt. You know, before this, he had always been very confident in his social skills.
This time, His Highness Brünnhilt came to visit him personally, which made him feel a little bit flattered.
What made him even more flattered was that this time Suliuka's behavior was sincere and gentle, and his smile was as warm and genial as the sun at eight or nine o'clock.
"The war has been going badly these days, and I haven't had time to come back to you. I'm so rude." Brynhild bowed his head slightly and apologized. Admiral Conneris never imagined that one day he would receive an apology from an elected emperor.
, I almost felt that I was about to reach the peak of my life.
Fortunately, as a veteran who writes "general" and reads "technocrat", the general finally regained his senses before completely drifting and asked seriously: "Since ancient times, fortified cities have always been difficult to conquer, but our strategic advantage
It is unshakable. As long as everyone fulfills their duties, there will always be success one day!"
King Suliuka smiled and nodded: "You are right, we really need everyone to fulfill their duties! So, after three days of fighting, is there anything you can teach me?"
Her words seemed to imply that the people on earth were watching a show for the past three days. However, because her attitude was very upright, her voice was gentle, and her smile was amazing, it didn't offend everyone.
In fact, although the main attack in these three days was the Imperial fleet, the community did not do nothing at all. Except for the flagship Independence, which did not move, the remaining half of the fleet with the three Independence-class dreadnoughts as the core also did not move.
Participated in the general attack on the first day, pounced on the other side of the fortress, and sank at least five large and medium-sized predator warships in the melee, and also painted a continuous explosion zone on the outer wall of the fortress.
.
However, during the battle for the fortress, the Community fleet was also sunk by one battle cruiser, three guard ships, two arsenal ships, and three heavy cruisers, as well as more than twenty large and medium-sized ships. Fortunately, because the fleet
The main force suffered no structural damage, the rescue was timely, and the number of sailors killed in the battle was only "just" over 8,000.
However, this was just the first day of the war. The aloof Admiral Conneris was a technocrat. Of course, he was definitely not the type who came from the grassroots actual combat troops and loved his soldiers like his own son. However, after all, he had been serving in the peaceful Central Sector.
, the biggest fierce battle was just to suppress pirates, he had never seen such a scene before. Faced with this bloody and stark number of casualties, he could not help but be shaken.
But no matter what, although the exchange ratio is not good-looking, no one dares to say that the people on earth are just watching a show.
In addition, compared to the fleet, the White Devil fighter jets equipped with light wing accessories performed quite amazingly. They interspersed across the vast battlefield with lightning speed, rushed to the shield at extremely high speed, and then switched to
Relatively "low speed", it physically penetrated the deflection shield of the fortress, launched an attack from behind, and shot down at least double digits of ancient shield drones.
This tactic was of course proposed by Yang Xiyi. He believed that since these abnormally strong deflection shields were emitted by drones, if these drones could be shot down, wouldn't it be possible to peel off the tortoise shell of this fortress?
Of course, these deflection shields are no longer scientific enough to deflect railgun shells, which means they can resist high-speed and low-mass objects. So, can it be penetrated by relatively "low-speed" and "high-quality" objects?
What about trying it?
Yang Xiyi admitted that the tactics he proposed were part of a gamble, and the stakes were not money, but the lives of the pilots. However, as senior generals, this was the cause and effect they had to bear.
But no matter what, he won the bet.
The fighter group spearheaded by the White Devil Squadron did indeed pass through the interception network formed by the deflection shield, and then started fighting with the Predator fighters. They opened a smooth path for the arrival of subsequent friendly fighters.
The two young pilots Li Baolu and Martha Daken have officially turned themselves into double aces. The average number of kills of the White Devil Squadron has also exceeded five. With this fighter alone, the record of the squadron commander Colonel Dutt It can already be included in the air combat textbook.
However, Colonel Dutt realized that even if the deflection shield was torn, it would be impossible for the fighter plane to break through the subsequent fluid metal layer and energy film shield. More importantly, he suddenly discovered that there were more A shield robot of the same type emerged from under the rock formations of the fortress, like a soldier ant emerging from its nest, and immediately ordered all fighter planes to evacuate.
In short, the Community fleet fought hard for a day and returned without success. However, compared to the fierceness of the neighboring empire that braved intensive enemy artillery fire to successfully land on the fortress, the fighting here was indeed a little too "flat". .
King Suliuka was clearly not blaming himself, but General Conneris still felt an inexplicable sense of guilt, so he could only look at Lieutenant General Tivington, who quickly came up with a new strategy. plan.
The Thirteenth Fleet, which acts as a guerrilla fleet on the outskirts of the galaxy, successfully intercepted a predator fleet that had been lying in wait here for an unknown length of time at the edge of the orbit of the eighth planet in this galaxy, a huge polar planet. Then It is a small fleet composed of a large work ship, two large motherships and more than ten ordinary warships.
The Thirteenth Fleet successfully sank one mothership, seriously damaged another, dispersed the remaining enemy ships, and captured the work ship. By the way, they also killed a group of Marauder Marines who had landed on the surface. We learned from the captured Marauder officers that the Marauders' defense line on the Devil's Throat was not just a fortress, but spread across all the surrounding planets where defense facilities could be built. The most important of these is the defense line near the fortress. Two polar dwarf planets.
"The captives of the Predator confessed that they did get some kind of weapon that shielded the signal of the gravity well from the legacy of the Enlightened One, but not all of these weapons were installed on the fortress. There were relay equipment on the two dwarf planets nearby. , The fifth and sixth planets have second-round diffusers. If the diffusers are set up on the eighth planet, the gravity well shielding signal can be spread to the entire galaxy."
Seeing Brunhildt's thoughtful expression, Lieutenant General Tivington felt a little proud, so he took the opportunity to propose that he would launch a strong attack and landing operation on the two dwarf planets, and he must seize the transfer equipment above! "
"If it doesn't work, we can still destroy it. If we can really destroy the Predator's gravity well shielding weapon, we can find a route to the hinterland of the star field."
At that time, whether the fortress should be attacked or besieged depends solely on everyone's judgment.
"The two dwarf planets are within the coverage of the fortress artillery. We have no way to provide orbital bombing support," Brunhildt said.
"We will land from behind the planet." Admiral Conneris quickly added: "We can also avoid the attack of the fortress. We will launch the attack on time before 6 o'clock tomorrow morning! If everything goes well, in 20 hours
Within a few days, you’ll get some good news.”
Regarding this combat plan, Brunhildt was noncommittal, but still left an encouraging smile: "Then, I will wait for your good news."
Then, just after closing the communication with King Suliuka, Yang Xiyi immediately put forward a different explanation.
"Let's not talk about whether the information left by the captives of the Predators is true. Even if such a strategic target does exist, we still know nothing about the conditions of these two dwarf planets. But in comparison, the Predators are at least already on them.
It has been in operation for two or three months. We need to conduct at least a week of preliminary reconnaissance operations, and also..."
However, Lieutenant General Tivington interrupted the other party: "I understand what your noble officer means, and your considerations are also the words of the country."
"So……"
"But, this is really just a military consideration! Major General Yang, if we only consider it from a military perspective, things would be too simple." Lieutenant General Tivington showed a reserved smile and said, "Young man, you
It’s still superficial”.
Are you really a graduate of the Alliance National Naval Academy? Isn't it a private salon run by some politician? Yang Xiyi finally suppressed his snort and looked at the Commander again.
Didn't you say that you would entrust me with military affairs? Yang Xiyi expressed this meaning with his eyes.
However, Admiral Conneris turned his eyes away slightly, flashing a trace of guilt, but still pretended to be firm: "We need to get some gratifying results in advance before the empire!"
