71, The Great Air Battle of Rendili (Part 1)

It is 10 o'clock in the evening standard time on the planet Rendili, and there are still 9 hours before the fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems arrives.

On the bridge of the Jaeger-class cruiser Sandivo, the flagship of the Republic's special mission fleet, a small device is placed in front of the desk of the fleet commander, Admiral Yang Dodenner. Most of this thing has been charred, basically

I can't even tell what it was originally.

"The technical department has conducted a thorough inspection of this device and eliminated all possible dangers. It is not a bomb or a computer virus, nor does it have any eavesdropping function. It has only one function, which is to regularly clear the data of the aerospace robot it is in.

." An officer said next to him.

Dodenna frowned, "Just clearing the data? Why would it have such consequences if it was just clearing the data? Let it control one of our main guns and fire it?"

"This can only be inferred. In other words, the data of this robot must be cleared before it can do the next thing. In other words, it is possible that it has been reprogrammed." The officer obviously knew a lot of technology and answered.

"Reprogramming requires clearing data? What is the program in the robot now?" Dodenner asked.

"Completely blank, General. The opponent's hands and feet are very clean..." the officer replied.

Admiral Dodenna's expression turned ugly. He shook his head and said: "No, this is their style...Guardian Planet!! On the battlefield where all the robot legions of the Guardian Planet participated in the battle, the recovered robot remains were all blank!

!There is no doubt that this is what they did!!”

"But... if we just fire one shot at Rendili's defense fleet, is there any need to go to such great lengths?" a staff officer asked doubtfully.

Admiral Dodenna stared at the direction of Rendili's defense fleet in the distance, his eyes a little gloomy, "I don't know... But now, our most important thing is to ensure the safety of our own fleet! Since the other party can do it on our flagship

If they can't control their own warships, then they may do something on other warships!! No matter what Lundili does, if we can't even control our own warships, then this battle can't be fought!!"

"Our technicians are thoroughly inspecting every robot in the fleet, but there are more than 0,000 robots of various types on 0 warships in the entire fleet. I'm afraid it will take some time to ensure safety," the officer replied.

"It doesn't matter, the initiative is in our hands. As long as we can exert our combat effectiveness normally, people like Lundili cannot pose a threat to us!" Dodenna paused, and then said: "Inform all ships to do this

We are ready for battle. Rendili’s fleet has not responded yet. I don’t know what impact the previous shot had. In short, let’s wait for now.”

"General, just now Master Shakti sent a message, asking us to launch an attack on Rendili's fleet when the time is right." The adjutant came over and said.

"Take the initiative to launch an attack?" Admiral Yang Dodenner frowned. This was a decision that would trigger a diplomatic incident or even a war! But is this really good? He went on to say: "Call back Master Shakti and confirm.

This order. And tell her that if we take the initiative to provoke a war, everything will be irreversible. Fleet Commander Jess Darling on Rendili's side has already obeyed the Republic, and we need to wait for him.

Feedback on the situation.”

"Yes!" The adjutant called for help immediately, but soon came back to report that Master Shakti had not responded. Admiral Dodenna did not order an active attack, but chose to continue waiting for orders.

Yang Dodenna didn't know that the standby instruction he just gave, although it was not a big mistake out of caution, had caused the Republic's special envoy fleet to lose its last chance to win...

…

It is 1 o'clock in the evening standard time on the planet Rendili, and there are still 7 hours before the arrival of the fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

A bright light lit up from the Victory II-class Star Destroyer, the flagship of the Rendili Defense Fleet. It was the light of the super-heavy turbolaser cannon equipped on the Star Destroyer! This blue beam instantly illuminated the Republic

On a Jaeger-class cruiser at the edge of the Special Envoy fleet array, just one shot caused the cruiser's shield to collapse!!

Immediately afterwards, all the warships of Rendili's defense fleet opened fire at the same time, and countless laser cannons and missiles were launched, raining down on the Republic fleet like a rain of light! The Republic's warships have also been on standby to prepare for war, and launched a counterattack immediately after being attacked!

At this stall, one of the two battlefields that determines the fate of the Galactic Republic - the great air battle in the Lundili Galaxy, finally begins!!

The Rendili defense fleet was fully prepared and deliberate. With its extremely powerful firepower, the five Victory II-class Star Destroyers paralyzed the two Jaeger-class cruisers of the Republic's envoy fleet in the first salvo. Almost at the same time,

The shipyards of Rendili Interstellar Dynamics Company were spread out all around, and a large number of Z-95 starfighters and ARC-170 heavy fighter jets took off to join the battlefield!

The interstellar dock of Lundili Interstellar Power Company is not fixed, but is set up based on dedicated spherical engineering spacecraft. These spherical engineering spacecraft vary in size, some are more than 1,000 meters in diameter, and some are only about 100 meters in diameter.

diameter. A large number of battleship manufacturing modules are installed inside the engineering spacecraft. When manufacturing a battleship, you only need to set up an external gantry outside that matches the size of the battleship.

Therefore, Lundili's interstellar shipyard will be much more flexible when it comes to shipbuilding tasks. Sometimes it can fly directly to resource production areas to mine minerals on the spot and build spaceships at the same time. Of course, the price of flexibility is that they build very large spaceships.

Its capacity is not as good as the star-shaped shipyard of Kuat Dynamic Shipyard, and the production cycle will be longer.

Now in combat mode, these spherical engineering spacecraft have detached themselves from the worthless gantry, sealed the entire spacecraft, and poked out laser turrets for self-defense. There are also internal hangars that are usually full of various engineering spacecraft and engineering robots.

Inside, what is currently loaded are various star fighters!!

Rendili Interstellar Power Company and Income Corporation have been working together to oppose the Republic for a long time. Therefore, although many of the fighters equipped by Rendili are outdated Z-95 fighters, the ARC-170 is relatively cost-effective.

Although the Republic does not have many heavy-duty fighter jets, Rendili has equipped more than 5,000 of them!! This is equivalent to more than half of the total number of fighter jets in the Republic's special mission fleet!!

The Republic also acted very quickly. While launching a counterattack, they also took off fighter jets. The 0 Jaeger-class cruisers carried a total of more than 8,000 fighter jets of various types, mainly V-wing fighters, supplemented by a small number of ARC-170 fighters.

and Y-wing bombers.

The fighter jets from both sides immediately fought together, and fighter jets were shot down almost every second!

After the bloody mutiny and massacre of the Rendili Defense Fleet, almost every soldier exuded a terrible rage in his heart, burst out with unparalleled morale, and frantically attacked the Republic fleet. Although the Republic was attacked

, but after all, he was ready for battle and did not suffer too much.

On the one hand, the Republic's battleships are more powerful, and the clone troopers are also extremely elite; on the other hand, Rendili's fleet, although its large ships except for the five Victory II-class Star Destroyers, cannot compete with the Jaeger-class

, but after all, in a home battle, the surrounding spherical engineering spacecraft can also provide fire support, and the fighter jets taking off also make up for the weakness of the Lundilli warship's small number of aircraft.

The fleets of both sides were evenly matched in this confrontation. Fighters like dark clouds rushed towards each other crazily, beams of light like raindrops flashed continuously, and various advanced missiles were launched with tail flames. All warships also deployed air defense.
