After the Commander II-class dreadnought arrived on the battlefield, the fleet strength of both sides reversed again.
The Galactic Republic has 2 Commander II-class dreadnoughts, 81 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, and the number of fighter groups has reached a terrifying 18,000!
As for the Fourth Civilization, it has one Ankhlon-class Titan battleship, 104 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, 20 Cole-class battlecruisers, 9 Dunov-class battlecruisers, and 12 Masha-class guided missile heavy cruisers.
ships, 5 Sova-class aircraft carriers and 3 Rukrihuk-class battleships.
In the blink of an eye, it seems that the fleet of the fourth civilization has an absolute advantage, but in fact it is not the case.
Because the 81 Jaeger-class battlecruisers of the Galactic Republic are actually all aviation battleships, their fighter fleet has reached a terrifying number of more than 18,000!
In contrast, after a series of offensive and defensive battles and bombings on the planet Eriadu, the Fourth Civilization's fighter formations have only more than 4,000 aircraft left, half of which are Vulture robot fighters.
In fact, if Tang Xiao had not secretly implemented the rebirth plan in the Fourth Civilization, allowing many fighter pilots to have the opportunity to be reborn through consciousness transfer, the fighter pilots of the Fourth Civilization would have been exhausted long ago!
From the beginning of the war to the present, the number of fighter pilots killed by the Fourth Civilization has exceeded 30,000. This is because the Fourth Civilization used a large number of Vulture robot fighters to supplement the front line. The loss of fighter jets is secondary, and the real loss of pilots is
It's terrible.
The Fourth Civilization now has a total of more than 30 pilot academies, and the number of pilots provided each year does not exceed 6,000, which cannot keep up with the consumption of the war.
Especially things like pilots, pilot academies, and naval academies rely on accumulation and foundation, rather than just investing some money in training and then it's done.
Bottom line, the Fourth Civilization is really bad.
Fortunately, there is a rebirth plan, otherwise the Fourth Civilization can only rely on vulture robot fighters to support its fighter line, and the results will be catastrophic.
So in fact, the biggest reason why the Galactic Republic has begun to counterattack on all fronts and has a certain advantage is the superiority of battleship technology.
The Jaeger-class battlecruiser, as an aviation battleship, has a combat capability that exceeds that of the Higurah-class, Kang'i-class and Defiant-class. Although it is not as good as the Cole-class and Shenyi-class, there is no qualitative difference. But if it is equipped with
Counting the more than 400 fighter jets, none of these warships can compete with the Jaeger class.
In the final analysis, it is a dual reflection of technical advantages and heritage. If a battlecruiser cannot defeat the opposite aircraft carrier, it must be your own technical problem. A battleship can carry 400 fighter jets and rotate the pilots.
If you have everything, then it’s a question of background.
Strictly speaking, the Cole-class firepower can definitely kill the Chasseur-class, but the biggest uncertainty is the current projectile speed of the super-matter electromagnetic gun. It cannot ensure a hit at a long distance.
Therefore, in this military reform, the Behemoth-class battlecruiser equipped with the energy axis cannon Yamato cannon has been favored, because in the previous small-scale battles, it has been proved that the Jaeger-class cannons can only be fired against the Behemoth-class
, that would definitely be an ending in which the ship crashed and everyone died!
This is the reason why Ling Liang asked his fleet to withdraw to the outer orbit of the planet Eriadu.
Because the Galactic Republic's reinforcements not only brought a large number of fighter jets, but also brought two Commander II-class dreadnoughts! This put great pressure on the Xuanwu.
The Republic Fleet did not intend to let go of the Fourth Civilization. Their fleet destroyed the space factory built by the Fourth Civilization near the fifth planet Tarastra during the previous offensive and defensive battle. After that, the army pressed forward and attacked the fourth planet.
Planet Eriadu!
…
"The Commander II-class dreadnought... looks as ugly as a hunchback. Do you have any more information?" At the command center on the bridge of the Xuanwu, General Ling asked the intelligence department.
What she said is correct. Compared to the elongated Commander class, the Commander II class has a significantly larger dome structure, so it really looks like a hunchback [Note 1].
"At present, our Military Intelligence Department has not received any information related to sea trials and launches, and the Commander II has not been put into actual combat before. But... I only heard such a statement from some shipbuilding engineers at Kuat Power Dockyard.
..." said the intelligence official.
"What statement?"
"It is said that in a simulated battle, about three Disobedient-class light destroyers can fight against one Jaeger-class battlecruiser. The Commander II-class dreadnought can fight against 1,000 Disobedient-class ships..." Intelligence Department official
said.
"Are there any specific arguments to support this exaggerated conclusion?" Ling Liang frowned, she did not agree with this obviously exaggerated statement at all.
"Yes. The maximum output of the Commander II-class engine is almost 200 times higher than the maximum output of the Chasseur-class..." the Intelligence Department official said, "In comparison, the maximum output of the Xuanwu is about 13.42×10 to the 26th power W
, which is about 400 times that of the Jaeger-class. From a purely numerical comparison, it is entirely possible for the other party to destroy the Xuanwu. Judging from the movements of the Republic fleet, they do indeed plan to do so."
"Okay, what about actually?" Ling Liang asked.
The engineering department scientist on the side directly took over the conversation, "Actually, if calculated according to the energy level, the backward main gun of the Defiant class is indeed impossible to penetrate the shield of the opponent's Commander II-class dreadnought, so in this kind of
Under the circumstances, the numbers piled up are all falsely high. I can also say that our Xuanwu can resist 10,000 Disobedient-class ships. Does it make sense? So in fact, I suggest that General, you can directly drive the Xuanwu into their faces.
Go up."
"Can the Xuanwu really resist 10,000 Disobedient class ships?"
"Definitely not, that's 10,000 ships!" The scientist from the Engineering Department replied decisively.
"Deduct his coffee supply for the next month, and he will only have vegetarian dishes for three meals." Ling Liang turned to the T-series tactical robot with an expressionless expression.
"Roger." In many cases, T-series tactical robots are quite good as adjutants.
…
At the same time, the flagship of the Galactic Republic fleet, the Rossana Commander II-class dreadnought.
"General, our tactical computer has gone through more than 4,000 simulations. Even if we have received reinforcements, the probability that our fleet can defeat the separatist fleet is less than 20%..." the staff officer came over and said.
"So in the case of victory, how was victory achieved?" Admiral Theost asked.
"Through large-scale maneuvers, the opponent's Xuanwu will not be able to put turtle shells on all the warships..." the staff officer said.
"Such a result is obviously not enough. What if we concentrate the power of two Commander II-class ships to directly attack the main body of the Xuanwu?" Theost asked.
"I've tried it, but it's very difficult. The other party pays great attention to maintaining the Xuanwu's formation, and it's almost impossible to create such an opportunity for a surprise beheading," the staff officer said.
Theost frowned as he looked at the spherical defense formation of the Separatist fleet on the holographic star map.
