Chapter 279 The Battle of Betales - Tragic Victory and Response
Chapter 279 Battle of Betares - Tragic victory and response
When the last freedom camp dreadnought was destroyed, a burst of excited cheers suddenly erupted from the Betales Federation fleet.
For the first time in decades, they fought against the freedom camp on a frontal battlefield and won.
Thinking back to those years of desolation when I was attacked by several pirates and had no choice but to do anything, it felt like a lifetime ago.
Faced with this situation, although Lao Qian also had a look of pride on his face, he was also extremely worried in his heart.
This victory was a tragic victory.
The Betares Federation this time dispatched the second mixed fleet and the first fearless fleet, using less to attack more, leaving behind both the two fearless fleets of the freedom camp, and even four of its regular fleets.
But the price is also extremely heavy.
At present, more than half of the Second Dreadnought Fleet has been lost. Although the dreadnoughts of the Second Mixed Fleet have not suffered much losses, the battle losses of the conventional fleet have exceeded 80%!
The loss of the battleship is still a trivial matter, the focus is the loss of the pilot, which is the most important.
The population base and war potential of the Betares Federation are here, and the loss of every pilot is irreparable for them.
So now, after the battle is over, the second mixed fleet can only retreat to rest and send the third or fourth mixed fleet up, but cannot add more troops.
Because they have no reserve troops at all.
Facing Frederic McGee's defeat, Michael Black suddenly felt extremely lucky.
"Mader, New Eden actually traded this thing to Betares. Fortunately, I am cautious!"
He couldn't help but be careless!
This time, it was Frederick McGee who made the minefield for them, blowing away almost all the arrangements and territory of the Betares Federation, which made their subsequent arrangements much easier.
"Commander-in-Chief, do you want us to report this to New Eden?"
A staff officer thought about it and said.
After all, this New Eden is a member of their justice order, and they obeyed the leadership of the justice order and came to Betares star field to resist the freedom camp. This New Eden gave Beta the big killer weapon of the Shadow Cavalry carrier aircraft.
Les Federation, isn’t this siding with the enemy?!
Moreover, even the current military fortresses and main battleships of the Betares Federation are all handicrafts of New Eden. You can find out by just looking up, and even New Eden has no cover for these.
And although they have never seen the dreadnought of the Betares Federation, which has a somewhat ridiculously strong defense, it definitely has something to do with New Eden!
Otherwise, a civilization that was unable to deal with even a few pirates half a year ago has become the force that is now capable of fighting on two fronts in less than half a year, and its opponents are still their two camps. If this has nothing to do with New Eden, who would dare?
letter?
"Report it! It must be reported!" Michael Black said immediately, "Report this matter immediately to the Justice Order Trial Court and require New Eden to immediately stop all kinds of support to the Betares Federation."
Although I know that this approach is probably useless, as long as New Eden can't come out openly and the support is reduced, the pressure on him will not be so great.
Otherwise, if New Eden keeps selling [Shadow Cavalry] to the Betares Federation, then I don’t know how many dreadnoughts they will lose in the hands of this thing.
Thinking of something, Michael Blake stopped the staff officer who was about to leave and added another sentence.
"Report to the high command again and say that I suspect that New Eden has also traded the super aircraft carrier to the Betares Federation, and ask the headquarters to send someone to New Eden to investigate."
To be honest, even though he knew that this possibility was very small, he did not dare to bet on whether New Eden would be so crazy in the face of the series of gadgets of the Betares Federation.
Besides, as long as the headquarters sends people to delay New Eden's actions against the Betares Federation, it will be great. After all, New Eden is also bordering the Betares Federation. You can just drive in without talking about martial ethics.
They robbed this ancient ruins, but they couldn't do anything about it.
And this is what Michael Blake is most worried about.
The staff officer also understood immediately and took the order immediately.
"yes!"
After the staff officer left, the conference room became lively again.
"Commander-in-Chief, judging from the battle at the Dazzling Fortress, the mixed fleet of the Betales Federation is really difficult to deal with. The conventional main fleet will be given away in vain, and the fearless fleet will easily be defeated by the mixed fleet. The fearless fleet will be easily defeated by the mixed fleet.
The ship and the shadow cavalry in the fortress attacked from three sides.
The whole fortress is like an iron bridge, it’s not easy to deal with!”
A fleet captain watched the battle at the Dazzling Fortress and analyzed the Betales Federation, frowning.
I have to say that Lao Qian's method of forming a mixed fleet is really good.
Especially now that the Betares Federation is in a defensive posture and will not take the initiative to attack at all, facing this situation, it makes them feel a little unable to make a move.
In response, Michael Blake showed a confident smile.
"Don't worry about this, I already have a countermeasure."
Everyone was a little surprised.
"Oh, what is the commander-in-chief's countermeasure?"
"You will know when the things arrive in a while."
Michael Blake smiled, shook his head, and made a riddle.
Then, without waiting for others to ask further questions, Michael Black continued: "The current main task is no longer to break the fortress, but to find ways to consume the effective strength of the Betares Federation. They don't have the troops at any time like us."
In addition, if every driver dies, there will be one less driver."
After the battle at the Dazzling Fortress, facing the Shadow Cavalry, he no longer thought about breaking through the fortress quickly, and he did not believe that Frederick McGee could break through the defense line with his current strength, so
Before the things he applied for arrive, he won't launch any decisive large-scale attack.
"But if the people of the Betares Federation keep staying within the fortress defense range to avoid fighting, there is nothing we can do!"
A fleet captain touched his bare head and couldn't help but say.
The Betares Federation is not stupid, and it has always stayed within the defense range of the military fortress since the war began, and will not take the initiative to fight.
And if they take the initiative to go, the disastrous defeat of the freedom camp just now will be their fate.
Michael Blake smiled slightly.
"I have ordered people to modify the equipment of several fleets of exorcist-class heavy assault ships. Their attack range has now been increased nearly ten times. We can attack outside the attack range of military fortresses."
"But wouldn't this reduce the exorcist-level attack power and defense power to the extreme?"
Some people were very surprised.
You must know that although there is equipment that can increase the attack distance, it will occupy the original equipment position, which will greatly reduce the defense of the battleship, and even the attack power will be greatly reduced.
If it were a formal battle, the gains would outweigh the losses!
"Don't worry, the goal of these specially modified fleets is not to fight, but to consume the opponent's vitality from a distance. If the opponent wants to fight in close combat, they can just retreat."
In game terms, Michael Blake's move is called: Firepower White Whoring!
Emmm, something happened. Let me finish it first. There will be another chapter later.
