The two sides exchanged military salutes again, and the electronic virtual screen dimmed.
"I order all starships in the fleet to lift their energy shields, reduce the output of the main energy furnace by 40% and start the transition. At the same time, I will inform all officers and soldiers in the fleet that this time we are rushing to the front line with great glory. If a war starts, it will be shaken.
The day when the light galaxy returns to the Federation. Our names are destined to be engraved in the starry sky of the Federation." Watching the screen dim and the admiral's figure gradually disappearing, the fleet commander made a loud noise from his command seat.
military orders.
"Yes! General!"
"Yes! General!"
...
As the staff of the fleet headquarters under the command seat responded loudly one by one, orders were issued in an orderly manner to each starship in the starry sky that had already raised its speed to the highest speed of 10,000 kilometers per second.
In the pitch-black space, visible to the naked eye, the outer layers of the starships were flashing light blue energy shields that gradually faded away. The entire fleet, if not for the lights that were closing the portholes one by one, would have merged with the entire starry sky.
If you want to create a jump point that can pass through the huge 2nd Fleet, the main starships of the entire fleet must contribute nearly one-third of the reserve energy. The energy shield that can ensure that the starships are not attacked by energy cannons has to be
is closed.
This approach is undoubtedly extremely dangerous, especially at the moment of jumping out from the jump point.
If there are enemies in that area, the fleet's jump point will be located based on the huge energy response and an ambush will be prepared in advance. A single salvo may cause heavy losses to the entire fleet.
Obviously, this does not fit with the personality of Lieutenant General Qin Luochuan, who is always known for his caution.
"General, are we too aggressive? If the Jiepen people choose to make a desperate move, then we" the fleet adjutant whispered his suggestion.
Fleet Adjutant Colonel Chen Chuanxin can be regarded as Vice Admiral Qin Luochuan's first staff officer besides the Fleet Chief of Staff, and his ideas naturally have their own reasons.
The safest way for the 2nd Fleet should be to go to the natural wormhole 1.5 billion kilometers away, which can directly reach the wormhole in the center of the third star field. The security station garrison there reconfirmed the radius of 3 million kilometers in the communication two hours ago.
Everything is safe inside.
Judging from the fact that starships from various countries in the starry sky today generally reach a peak of around 36 million kilometers, any fleet that wants to fully reach the energy cannon attack range of 400,000 kilometers will need at least 20 minutes. That is enough time for the starships that have passed through the jump point to restart.
The energy shield is raised.
But the result of that choice is that it will take 4 days for the 2nd Fleet to reach Lafite Planet. If it takes the initiative to jump, the time can be shortened to 2 days, saving at least half of the time. Even if the situation goes as expected, the 2nd Fleet will
You can make another short-distance jump within the galaxy and directly reach Rafi Star.
In order not to be detected by the Jiepen reconnaissance ship, the huge energy reaction of the jump point, the 2nd Fleet had to place the jump point inside the third star field 1.5 billion kilometers away from Lafite Star.
As Admiral Chang Sunhong said, although the entire 2nd Fleet is dispatched, it is trying to maintain deterrence rather than really wanting to start a war. The national strength of the Jiepen Empire is not much different from that of the Federation, and they are the ones that the Federation is afraid of.
The master behind it, the Great Eagle Empire, is a huge force spanning thousands of light-years in the star field. Compared with them, the Southwest Federation is just a region of theirs.
War is only the worst plan. If the Federation really wants to fight Jiepen, then it will not be just one fleet of the 2nd Fleet, but at least three.
All choices still have to be judged based on the results of the small-scale decisive battle of the army forces invested by both sides on Lafite Planet.
Judging from the starships currently deployed by the Jiepen people, it is obvious that they do not want to enter the war early, but nothing is absolute. This time, the Federation people have stirred their nerves.
However, are there too many of these exchanges between the two countries? The "Defection Gate" incident occurred ten years ago, which caused a Lieutenant Colonel of the Army to lead his subordinates to defect out of the Federation and become air pirates. This only made the entire
One of the reasons for the humiliation of the federal military was that a subsequent thorough investigation revealed that the initiator, the Major General of the Army who persecuted his subordinates, turned out to be a Jipeng, and that was the main reason.
Yes, a federal major general who had been investigated for three generations turned out to be from Jiepen. This made the top brass of the federal military lose face. From the moment the director-general of the Ministry of Military Affairs took the initiative to apologize and announced his resignation, the entire federal military took the blame and stepped down.
There were as many as a dozen people.
However, since then, Changsun Hong, who is known as the federal military's toughest foreign attitude in a century, has entered the stage of history.
But the Jiepen people, from their current ambitious emperor to the greedy nobles below, cannot use common sense to deduce, especially in this extremely sensitive period, they cannot be ruled out from having a fight on Blue Star thousands of years ago.
The possibility of "raiding Chacha Port" that their ancestors used to be crazy about.
"No, pass the salary. Your concerns just now are not wrong, but I judge that this battle cannot be fought." Lieutenant General Qin Luochuan stood with his hands behind his hands and confidently explained to his confidant staff officer: "You see
Yes, it’s just our two countries, the Southwest Federation and Jipeng. If you look at the stars, you will find that the situation among the countries in the starry sky is complicated and affects the whole body. Emperor Jipeng does not just do whatever he wants."
Seeing that Chen Chuanxin was still a little confused, Lieutenant General Qin Luochuan smiled faintly: "Although the Human Federation has long existed in name only and has lost control of the conflicts between human countries in the starry sky, it does not mean that the Eagle Empire, which has the strongest military strength, can
Do whatever you want. The people in the Kyushu Alliance, the only country that can compete with the Great Eagle Empire, have already become passionate about the Great Eagle Empire, which is fanning the flames everywhere and causing local wars in the starry sky. In particular, some young and hawkish soldiers have long spread all kinds of rumors that they will not hesitate to fight against the Great Eagle Empire.
During the war between the Eagle Empire and the Great Eagle Empire, there were also many internal conflicts. If they intervened in the war between medium-sized countries like the Southwest Federation and the Jeppon Empire, they would most likely be forced to dispatch regular fleets, which would be like dynamite with a fuse set on fire.
Barrel, war will break out across the entire starry sky. Judging from the number of Eagle Empire starships in service over the years, it is obvious that they are not ready for a full-scale war. From what I know about them, they prefer to use various conspiracies to
Quietly destroy powerful opponents and become the boss of this starry sky instead of risking the use of force.
Have you forgotten the Rus Empire 500 years ago? It was known as the second most powerful country in the starry sky, but in the end, Daying used Ziwu's false "Galaxy Center Exploration Plan" to bring down the domestic economy and lead to a coup, which eventually led to dozens of
The region established an independent country, and its territory has grown from the vast 800 light-years to only 400 light-years now. Even now, it has not completely recovered its vitality. If the Kyushu Federation hadn't helped, it might still be in the second place.
The group is mixed together, but it is not much stronger than our Southwest Federation.
The ambitious emperor Jie Pen seemed to have great ambitions but little talent, but in fact he knew very well that without the help of the Great Eagle Empire fleet, they would not be able to get any benefits in the war, and even the whole country would be dragged down.
A hundred years ago, if the Great Eagle Empire had not replenished their warships and mechas regardless of the cost, they would have been pushed back to the surface of the planet to farm by our Southwest Federation. In this case, both sides naturally want to curb the war.
Just like the current situation, a Fubuki-class intelligence ship is covering a long-distance attack on the border of our federation by a Tide-class destroyer, using all kinds of disguises, just to capture the super spy of our federation, while the two ships staying at the border seem to be
In my opinion, the menacing Yamato-class battleships only emboldened the mecha troops they transported to Lafite Planet. In fact, it was to show my federation that they would not hesitate to fight. In fact, they are just strong on the outside and weak on the inside. They are too powerful.
You underestimate the president of our federation. If you want to fight, then fight. Commander Changsun has the ancient customs of our Chinese race!"
"Chief Changsun, he is indeed a tough person..." Chen Chuanxin nodded and agreed.
"No, you are wrong. Everyone thinks that Chief Changsun is a hawk and uncompromising with the outside world." Qin Luochuan shook his head and sighed: "This time, the man who escaped from the Jipeng Empire and hid on Lafite Star in our federation
A top-level spy is related to national security information, so we must take him back at all costs. But if the Jiepen Empire warship invades the border and the federal people know about it, what a shocking event will it be? Once it is exposed,
, under the high-pressure protests of the people, a political struggle that could endanger the security of our federation will be forced to take place, which will be no less than the losses caused by a war. Moreover, I am sure that two starships from the Jeppon Kingdom will sneak in.
The holographic images in our federation have long been on someone's desk... So for this matter, even if we do not hesitate to fight, the intensity of the war must be controlled within the range that we can control. Chief Changsun can stay here
His position depends not only on his toughness, but also on his political wisdom!"
Chen Chuanxin looked astonished and sighed: "It is said that politics is a fig leaf for the country and big figures, but the military is the big stick of politics. This sentence is indeed true."
"You are right, but you and I, as soldiers, are here to serve this country and nation. Just don't forget your original intention." Lieutenant General Qin Luochuan took a deep look at his close staff officer and said calmly. "
It is true that I ordered the fleet to start the jump to gain two days, but that was to rescue the most promising genius scientist in our Southwest Federation, not because she is the daughter of the Director-General of the Ministry of Military Affairs."
Obviously, this is a very pure soldier and does not want to participate in higher-level political battles.
But when it comes time to take sides, who can stand alone?
The colonel's adjutant did not see the slight melancholy in the eyes of the lieutenant general commander who turned around!
From the moment he issued the military order, he finally made the choice without hesitation.
After all, that person stands in the interests of the entire country and nation.
