Except for the warships performing missions outside, the remaining 15,000 warships of the Fourth Fleet have all been assembled here.
The transport ship hijacked by Wood was already in front of him, but the Fourth Fleet had to stop.
Because at this moment, the Oaks fleet hidden in the asteroid belt has revealed its figure and blocked the way of the fourth fleet.
A full 30,000 battleships passed through the asteroid belt, and the Mars base was not even aware of it. You must know that there are a large number of detectors deployed on the federal side of the asteroid belt.
"The Scott family..."
In the flagship of the Fourth Fleet, Liang Xingchen gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
Such a large fleet has avoided all the federal detectors in the asteroid belt. If there is no traitor, even if Liang Xingchen is killed, he will not believe it. Combined with the incident of Wood rescuing Duolun, it is natural to think that it is inevitable.
It was the Scott family that took action.
"Commander, we are still outside the asteroid belt. If we fight against the 30,000 battleships of the Ox Empire here, we have little chance of winning!"
Liang Xingchen's adjutant Jiang Hai said with some worry.
"I understand, but when things have reached this point, it is no longer a matter of intercepting and rescuing people. Once we cannot defeat them here, the Oaks Empire can continuously reinforce the subsequent fleets, and then the Federation will really be finished.
.”
Liang Xingchen saw it clearly. Although he still didn't know how Scott did it, the Oaks Empire only came with 30,000 warships, which showed that the Scott family's actions were not enough to defeat the entire Oaks Empire.
The fleet can pass through the asteroid belt without being discovered. 30,000 ships should be the limit of how far they can hide.
Even so, the fleet of the Oaks Empire is no longer hidden at this moment, so the follow-up fleet can pass through the asteroid belt to come to support without any scruples.
Based on the sailing speed of the Ox Empire's fleet and the current distance between Jupiter and Mars, Liang Xingchen immediately calculated that the opponent's follow-up fleet would arrive in 42 hours.
In other words, the Fourth Fleet must defeat the fleet in front of it within 30 hours before it has enough time to enter the depths of the asteroid belt to deploy snipers and gain a glimmer of hope!
If we were in the asteroid belt at this moment, Liang Xingchen would still be very confident in defeating the 30,000-strong Oaks Empire fleet in 30 hours.
But in the current position, just as Jiang Hai said, the chance of winning is not very good. Even if he wins, he will definitely be disabled, let alone snipe the opponent's follow-up fleet.
But can he retreat? Obviously he can't. Once humanity loses the asteroid belt, there will no longer be any danger to defend, and the only way out for the Federation is to perish.
It must be said that Adams played this skill very well. With one battle and two shipments, he could not only rescue the Ninth Prince, but also break through the stalemate that had lasted for seven years.
"Jiang Hai, let the first to fifth squadrons form an assault formation and turn to 010! Give me a full breakthrough!"
"Commander, that's where it is!"
Jiang Hai's eyes widened and he looked at Liang Xingchen in disbelief. What was in that direction? That was the direction of the transport ship where Wood was.
As Liang Xingchen's adjutant, he knew that the commander's precious daughter was on that transport ship right now. It was difficult to guarantee that the transport ship would not be damaged by the full force breakthrough of 5,000 warships.
"Stop talking, is it time to consider my daughter? Execute the order!"
"yes!"
After finishing speaking, Liang Xingchen closed his eyes in pain and whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
"I hope the Ninth Prince is really that important."
This is a big gamble, but for Liang Xingchen, when is the war against the Oaks Empire not a big gamble?
The equipment is not comparable, and the quantity is not comparable. Every time, I can only rely on the asteroid belt and use various tactics to do everything possible to achieve greater results with a small amount!
...
The emergencies at the Earth Federation Presidential Palace and the Mars base have now reached Lin Zhen.
"Pa..."
In the office, Lin Zhen slapped the table hard!
He originally thought that the Scott family's infiltration of the Fourth Fleet was just to gain greater power, but what about now?
"Ed, arrest everyone in the Scott family immediately, and be sure to find out within 30 hours what tricks they did to allow the Oaks Empire to avoid all our plans to pass through the asteroid belt."
"I'll go right away!"
"Remember, any means are allowed. The sooner we let them talk, the greater our chances of getting through the crisis."
"clear!"
Seeing Ed walking out, Lin Zhen also fell into deep thought at the moment. There were still many doubts about the whole matter.
What puzzled Lin Zhen the most was that since he had taken action, why did the main members of the Scott family still stay on the earth? Waiting to catch him?
It seems that the only way to know the answer is to bring people back and pry open their mouths.
However, Lin Zhen didn't know that the Scott family was already in chaos at this moment!
Obviously, they, who are extremely powerful in the army, have also received relevant intelligence.
But they obviously just arranged for Wood and some cronies to create an opportunity for Duolun to escape, and then prepared to put a shit basin on Liang Xingchen's head, and finally pulled him down and replaced him with someone from their own line.
How did it happen that Wood personally went into battle to rescue Dolan, and even escaped with Dolan?
Besides, the conspiracy that the family arranged for the asteroid belt detector was purely to allow Doron to escape smoothly. When did it turn into betraying the Federation and leading the way for the Oaks Empire?
"Is it Wood?"
Harvey Scott, the head of the Scott family, finally thought of the key. It turns out that the entire plan was proposed by Wood and was in charge of it.
Immediately afterwards, Harvey thought of another incident seven years ago, and an even more terrifying guess appeared in his mind.
"So that's it, Wood, hahaha, I didn't expect that my Scott family would be destroyed in the hands of my own son, hahaha!"
"Bang!"
Just when everyone looked at the head of the family who suddenly became crazy and laughing, wondering why, the door of the Drizzt family was knocked open!
"Raise your hands and don't move at all!"
A large number of heavily armed personnel rushed in and quickly took everyone in the Scott family under control.
"Harvey, look what good you have done!"
When Ed walked in, he punched Harvey directly!
"Ed... do you think if I did it, I would still be here waiting for you to catch me? I want to fight for power, but I will never betray the Federation or humanity!"
"Is it true that Wood rescued Dolan, kidnapped Liang Xue and led the Oaks Empire fleet to invade?"
"No, I will tell you the whole thing now. I hope it's not too late?"
"Um?"
Ten minutes later.
"This is what happened, I have nothing to hide!"
"Then how do you explain Wood's behavior? And how do you explain that Oaks' fleet took advantage of your arrangement and sent 30,000 troops directly to us?"
"I just figured out this question too! Do you still remember how Wood returned to the Scott family?"
After hearing Harvey's words, Ed's eyes suddenly widened, and a chill rose from his back!
"Could it be that what happened 7 years ago was actually true?"
