After receiving the order, the reserve fleet immediately gave up its previous plan, accelerated while lowering its altitude, and rushed to the second interception point at full speed.
One point and four seconds later, the Sirius on the other side of the earth received an order from the joint command to the reserve fleet. Gao Kai's brows immediately frowned: "Give me the picture of the first fleet outside the country!"
"Yes!" Duan Zhiyang agreed, immediately switched the satellite frequency band, and soon found the real-time monitoring screen of a foreign fleet in Turkey.
Gao Kai stared at the enemy troops on the screen carefully: "What's going on with the enemy?"
Duan Zhiyang said: "There is no news about this yet."
"Not at all?" Gao Kai asked relentlessly, "I mean after the reserve fleet accelerates."
"Probably not." Duan Zhiyang called up the satellite records and compared it with the data of the Turkish fleet. "You see, the enemy's altitude began to decrease not long ago, but its speed has been very stable. There has been no change before and after the reserve fleet accelerated."
Gao Kai's brows deepened: "This is not a good sign... Get me through the joint command. I want to speak directly to the commander!"
"Yes!" Duan Zhiyang agreed, and the communication was immediately connected. Huo Qiang appeared on the screen. Twelve observers from the base group lined up in a row, creating a sense of presence behind Huo Qiang like a background wall.
Gao Kai quickly saluted: "Commander, I received the order from the command headquarters to the reserve fleet."
Huo Qiang said: "Don't beat around the bush, just tell me what you think." He was not a person who liked beating around the bush to begin with. He was currently in a fierce battle with the Turkish foreign fleet, and he was not in the mood to talk nonsense.
Gao Kai said: "Commander, I think the reserve fleet must slow down!"
Huo Qiang was startled: "Why?"
Not only Huo Qiang, but all the twelve observers who served as the background wall pricked up their ears... Proficiency in Chinese is the basic condition for being an observer. If Huo Qiang can't even understand what Huo Qiang says, why bother interfering?
Gao Kai immediately replied: "Commander, the position of the reserve fleet is tens of thousands of kilometers lower than the enemy's second fleet. If it advances at full speed, it will definitely be in position before the enemy's arrival, and it will be in position in advance. But Commander, have you paid attention?
The speed of the army has remained unchanged. If I were the enemy, I would definitely maintain the current speed. After the reserve fleet has flown far away, I will then turn to attack the moon. By then, the reserve fleet will not be able to come back at all. Even if it comes back, it will take time. In that case
The moon is in danger!"
"Then what do you think? Withdraw the reserve fleet?" Huo Qiang asked.
Gao Kai said: "It's best to keep the speed, neither fast nor slow, and don't sell the moon to the enemy!"
Huo Qiang was silent for a moment and said: "Your worries are indeed justified, but have you ever thought about what the enemy would think if the reserve fleet never leaves?"
This time, Gao Kai was stunned. He was only thinking about the safety of the moon, and he really didn't think about it in this direction.
After thinking for a moment, Gao Kai had the answer: "If you keep a proper distance, the two enemy fleets may rejoin!"
"Yes, that's it!" Huo Qiang said, "The enemy is strong and we are weak. It is beneficial for us to divide the enemy's forces. Once the enemy forces rejoin, can our fleet stop them?"
Gao Kai pursed his lips: "Even if we wipe out all the fleet, we can't let the moon fall into the hands of aliens!"
The status of the moon is too important. It is the springboard for mankind to enter space. Once it falls into the hands of aliens, mankind will lose its only warship manufacturing base. At that time, aliens will be able to imprison the humans who have gone into space back to the earth.
It is true that humans have rockets, electromagnetic orbital launchers, and orbital elevators. Even without the moon, we can still enter space from the ground.
But without the moon, the materials needed for the space program need to be transported from the ground. Think about it, a warship weighing hundreds of thousands of tons, all the raw materials have to be sent from the ground to space. What a terrifying scene it is.
The transportation cost of one warship can drag down the finances of all countries in the world, even if they adopt a rationing system.
We cannot build warships, let alone form a fleet. By that time, humans will become toothless tigers, no longer able to threaten aliens, let alone form an expeditionary force.
On the contrary, the aliens have a springboard to attack the earth. They can advance, attack, retreat or defend. They can either attack the earth with their troops, or they can hold back temporarily and wait for Saturn and Jupiter to develop again before making plans.
Of course, without the moon, there would still be Beichen Continent in the northern capital, but Beichen Continent is far away on Mercury and is really beyond our reach.
Huo Qiang said: "It is true that the moon cannot fall into the hands of aliens, but it is not that easy for the enemy to knock it down. According to your idea, leaving the reserve fleet on the moon can indeed play a certain role, but in the opposite direction
Come and think about it, what if the enemy abandons the moon and the fleets merge to attack the earth directly? If the fleet is exhausted, what is the use of leaving only the moon?"
Having said this, Huo Qiang took a breath: "Gao Kai, I understand your thoughts, but the earth is more important than the moon. Defending the earth requires a fleet. I would rather use the moon to attract the enemy's fleet than see our fleet and the enemy."
Fight to death."
Gao Kai was silent for a while and then said: "Commander, I seem to understand a little bit. The enemy may have deliberately approached the moon, and then divided their forces to attract our attention. If we mainly defend the moon, they will attack the earth. Otherwise, they will attack the earth."
Let’s take surgery on the moon…Two plans and one aircraft carrier, how insidious!”
He didn't know if his guess was correct, but at present this was the only guess that could explain why the enemy troops were close to the moon.
"What a plan!" Huo Qiang smiled instead of getting angry, "In that case, let's make a plan."
Gao Kai suddenly thought of something: "Commander, do you want to use the moon to attract the enemy?"
"Yes!" Huo Qiang nodded.
Ever since the development of the moon, Beidu has always regarded the moon as a super fortress. Both Nanyue Continent and Beiyue Continent are under military management. There is no shortage of defense facilities on the moon. Even if aliens attack the moon, they can still hold on for a long time.
After a while, maybe we can even defeat the Turkish foreign fleet.
Gao Kai was a little anxious: "Commander..."
Huo Qiang waved his hand to stop Gao Kai: "The moon has no atmosphere, and there are so many weapons prepared. Regardless of cost or military accounts, it is more cost-effective for the moon to fight against the enemy than the earth to fight against the enemy. What do you think?"
Gao Kaixin has already asked you to speak, what else do you want me to say?
The earth has indeed been prepared for a long time, but the earth is surrounded by a thick atmosphere. Any ground weapon must break through the atmosphere before it can threaten the Turkish extraterrestrial fleet. Even lasers must overcome the interference of the atmosphere. Fighting a war is not an ordinary passive thing.
The moon is different. Everything is exposed to a vacuum, and the gravity is only one-sixth of the earth. The innate conditions are much better than the earth. No matter how you look at it, the moon has the advantage.
