Chapter 1685 The spirit of the universe comes and pursues it
Do you think the Fortress of Unity is a public toilet and you can leave whenever you want? Take it if you want? Major General Ducasse couldn't help but look sideways. Although he felt that Yang Xiyi was bragging, he suddenly discovered that if the other party really said that, he would not doubt it.
As the commander of the guard fleet, he occasionally boasted in private that "I will command the Leviathan battle", but now that he thought about it, he would never be able to do it so confidently in his life.
At this time, Major General Ducasse heard Yang Xiyi say again: "I have been thinking about a possibility... If this situation really happens, we must act in advance and make plans in advance, so that we can have a positive impact on the local situation. A little help.”
Sure enough! The so-called wise generals with high IQ must be mysterious to appear smart! Major General Ducasse felt that he had learned a lot.
On the other hand, Lieutenant Colonel Akinayama's glasses seemed to be shining with wisdom, and he said thoughtfully: "This is also taking a risk."
"We take risks every day. Moreover, after diverting the enemy's attention through the Tower of Babel, my risk index has dropped a lot."
You all understand it! Major General Ducasse thought. If he hadn't been older, he would have felt marginalized by now.
"Lieutenant Colonel Qiu Mingshan... When the Blood Gate was razed to the ground, most of the Bakvi Kingdom was burned to scorched earth, and when the main force of the empire in the Sede system was attacked several times but was unable to advance even an inch, what should the empire do? Choice? Can we create the most cost-effective results? ”
In fact, this is not a new question. Although Yang Fleet's staff and decision-making departments are busy playing hide and seek, they often focus on other battlefields, or even the entire battle.
The so-called person who does not plan for the overall situation is not enough to plan for one area. Yang Xiyi still believes in this truth.
Major General Ducasse, on the other hand, continued to be surprised. It's not that he thought he shouldn't pay attention to this issue, but he originally thought that such a high-latitude issue must be a war zone commander or above to be qualified to pay attention.
"I will not launch a forceful attack on Seide Fortress." Akinayama Hachiman's tone was very firm.
"Oh, even if the empire uses the standards of Qingtian Castle in Sai, vigorously builds various military facilities, and concentrates more than three times the strength of the remaining company?" Yang Xiyi asked rhetorically.
"The students were in disbelief at first. However, my boss has seen that the space city is like a railway. It always needs to be repaired. It will not work without repair. After all, the Saide galaxy is the most important transportation node of the far coast channel, Qingtian As long as the fort is built, it is not a waste, and it will always be effective in the future.”
"Very good. Probably because of that guy's influence, when you think about problems, you class 830 can always evaluate the overall situation from a higher dimension. This is where I am actually inferior to you." Yang Xiyi smiled.
Akinayama Hachiman remained expressionless, but tactically pushed up his glasses, and said: "As for the fleet, in the future, if we really want to complete the suppression of the community and restore public security and governance as quickly as possible, this small force will Maybe not enough. And..."
"And they are also planning to annihilate our entire far-shore cluster, so they will not be stingy in squandering their troops." Yang Xiyi calculated.
Without waiting for an answer from his subordinates, he spoke again: "According to the sailing plan, where is Horatio Wayne's outpost fleet now?"
The outpost reconnaissance fleet led by Colonel Horatio Wayne was the first fleet to complete supplies at the Tower of Babel, and was also the first fleet to leave the main fleet for reconnaissance.
It was a small fleet composed of the Victory heavy cruiser, a ranger light cruiser equipped with a deep space probe, a county-class light cruiser, and three destroyers, which he personally led.
Currently, the fleet led by Wayne has been away from the main team for nearly 40 days. As a commander, of course he still has a certain degree of autonomy.
"If there are no accidents, they have passed through the Dawn Galaxy and approached the Dawn Highway via the King Boo Channel. They should now be in the area between the DL182 and 197 galaxies." Akinayama Hachiman quickly opened the star map , calling up the route plan of the Venn fleet.
His answer was that before starting these operations, it meant that he had already memorized the course plan of the Venn fleet in his mind.
"If he has indeed arrived here, he should be able to detect the movement of the imperial fleet near Dawn Pass. We only need to wait three to five days to receive a more specific report."
This means that the Community's fleet moved to the "eastern section" of the Dawn Star Territory for the first time after the Battle of Group Price Fortress. And once again approached Onotia, where everyone had fought and lived, and... the Fortress of Unity.
Such investigative operations cannot be done without boldness. However, according to Yang Xiyi's judgment, the size of the empire's squadron to encircle and suppress him has been increasing. No matter how tight the patrol network is, there will always be loopholes, which will lead to the possibility of forward investigation.
Then, Horatio Venn, who was as fearless as a red-haired honeypot, naturally said that the Yang fleet needed everyone to do their duty. Even if the empire's patrol network is still intact, reconnaissance in front of the enemy is still its own task and must be carried out.
As a former enemy commander, he even has the autonomy to decide whether to launch a surprise attack on the Empire's patrol fleet and transport fleet.
Of course, since it is a war, risks will always exist. If you don't receive the latest notification next week, it will prove that the Venn fleet is actually in danger.
"If we successfully receive enemy information from the Venn fleet, what will be our action?" Akinayama Hachiman asked.
"Naturally, we will head towards Onotia to meet up with the Venn fleet." Yang Xiyi said.
"What if not?"
"Of course, we will proceed to Onotia cautiously and wait to meet up with the Bonaparte fleet." Yang Xiyi said in a matter-of-fact tone.
……
In fact, the Venn fleet, composed of six small Kalami, had just escaped a near-certain hunt.
"It's really dangerous! We are only one reconnaissance plane's collapse away from being killed." Colonel Horatio Wayne looked at the porthole with lingering fear. The red hair also drooped down, as if it had changed from a burning torch to a faint ember.
As a fellow member of the 830th class, Wayne almost never showed such a gesture as he was the bravest lion in the Lion Heart Club and was responsible for his courage and honor. He himself also knew that if his current appearance was seen by other friends, especially Yu Lian, he would definitely be laughed at until the next century.
He himself always believed that it would be impossible for him to show fear in front of ordinary officers and soldiers... unless he couldn't help it.
But now, the captain of the cruiser Victory and the commander of the reconnaissance fleet, Colonel Horatio Venn, tactically took two puffs of his cigar, and then blew out a puff of smoke at the end of the porthole.
An hour ago, the empire's incredibly fast dreadnought ship Barbarossa disappeared from that direction.
Horatio Vane and his friends certainly had reason to be frightened. At the most critical moment just now, the five warships belonging to the fleet completely shut down almost all engines, communication systems and even life support systems. All members wore space suits and relied on oxygen bottles to survive. The battleship sticks to the back of the dwarf planet, disguising itself as part of the meteorite, which is commonly known as pretending to be dead. As for the empire's silver-painted Barbarossa dreadnought, it also passed through the asteroid belt. Like a hungry wolf chasing a rabbit, she lingered in the asteroid belt for nearly an hour. At the latest, she was less than 1 million kilometers away from the dwarf planet where Victory was located.
This is simply a movie scene. In fact, this section really happened in the story of "Galactic Rangers 3: Mithril Horse", and it is one of the classic scenes in the history of universe movies.
However, Horatio Venn, an expert, sneered at this passage. I assured the spirit of the universe that I was really just discussing the matter, and it was definitely not because Yu Lian was a fan of "Galaxy Ranger", and I definitely didn't have the taste to laugh at that guy.
All in all, perhaps due to the blessing of the spirit of the universe, although everyone was like a rabbit whose hole was blocked by a wolf, the predator did not stick its mouth into the hole after all.
In addition, perhaps this huge imperial warship also had other missions. She was not completely sure about the existence of Horatio's fleet, so she left disappointed.
There are no near misses, but the pressure on people does exist.
Horatio Wayne never thought that the scene in the movie that he despised would actually happen to him. Even with his shame, his face hurt a little from being hit by the boomerang.
Wayne said: "Maybe we should continue to hide in the Dawn Galaxy, so that we won't be forced to take risks."
"Your judgment is actually correct. If we had taken a step later, we would have been blocked in the Dawn Galaxy. It was too bright there and we had no room to hide." Emma Bao, who is more than ten years older than Wayne Lieutenant Colonel Walter said.
She is the captain of the cruiser USS Middle and second deputy commander of the fleet.
Wayne was grateful to have an understanding elder sister in the fleet command to provide emotional value.
"What we need to pay more attention to now is why the empire's main warships appear in this direction." Lieutenant Colonel Adi Mesud, deputy commander of the fleet, also said.
This old sailor, who is thirty years older than Wayne, can also be regarded as the latter's old partner. They have been working together since the Battle of Conviction. Currently, he serves as the captain of the reconnaissance light cruiser Captain Lake and the deputy commander of the reconnaissance fleet.
Wayne is also very grateful that he has an experienced elderly person as his assistant to check for his mistakes and fill in his gaps.
It took him three seconds to dispel the panic, and another half minute to get himself back into combat mode, and began to carefully analyze the intelligence he had just obtained: "I can confirm that the dreadnought just now is Barbarossa. The third ship of the class, the Duke of Medea, was still in the Circle of Miracles in December.”
This piece of information was naturally sent from the Mallowan Department of Miracle Circle. One of the practical meanings of Miracle Ring's resistance is reflected here. Even if there are only one or two observation groups left operating among more than 20,000 continental plates, they can provide on-site Imperial Army intelligence in a timely manner.
"The Duke of Medea and the United Prince are all reinforcements transferred from the mainland to destroy us. I have heard this statement." Lieutenant Colonel Mesud said.
This time, it only took Wayne half a minute to make a decision: "Then, according to the original plan, continue along the Queen of Brunhilt route and maneuver towards the Dawn Channel. The maneuver target was revised to Dawn Pass. ”
No one objected. In fact, the purpose of their operation originally included the reconnaissance of Dawn Pass and Unity Fortress. It would be even better if we could find an opportunity to make a big move against one or two guerrilla fleets that lacked escorts.
As for the fact that he was almost caught and destroyed by the empire's capital ship just now, it was just a small accident.
The small fleet of six warships made a very enchanting U-turn, and 40 hours later, they returned to the Dawn Galaxy where they had just encountered the enemy.
Fortunately, the automatic detector left in the galaxy was not killed by the imperial fleet that just came over. This should be the result of its simple and low-key appearance. More importantly, after the control program has been rewritten, the unmanned probe will put itself in a silent communication state when it senses the presence of a non-identified ship in the local system.
Of course, while the communication is silent, its computer is still running, analyzing the movements of the enemy fleet through subtle gravitational changes and mass flows within the galaxy.
As a result, Horatio quickly extracted the past 40 hours of gravity and mass change data from the detector's database.
The technical team has already entered standby mode. This long period of hide-and-seek exercise has indeed allowed them to accumulate a wealth of experience. So, only ten minutes later, an analysis report that made the commanders frown was delivered to them.
"...Titan ship? Are you sure? It's not a large transport ship? And it's still using gravity well No. 1?" asked the old lieutenant colonel.
"The Empire does not have a transport ship of this quality equipped in the New World. If you take into account the overlap of the projections of the mass contours, it can only be a Titan. Moreover, I am 80% sure that it is the Vulcan." said the technical officer.
This technical officer is about forty years old and is in the golden age of a technician. He is a smart, diligent and calm technician, and he was born in the Red Star Research Institute.
Horatio Vene decided to trust the other party's judgment completely.
However, since there is no technical problem, the military problem is very confusing.
"This means that the Vulcan and Marshal Farrell have left the Circle of Miracles? If they are taking Gravity Well No. 1, they are moving in the direction of the Unity Fortress? So, where will their destination be? ”
After being confused for half a minute, Wayne suddenly tapped his palm: "There is no point in continuing to be suspicious here. Pass my order and send a report to the fleet headquarters to inform the situation here. Tell Commander Yang that we will revise the cruise route. Accelerate through the New Union Channel and bypass the Liming Highway, trying to reach Liming Pass before April.”
"Are you planning to intercept the Vulcan at Unity Fortress?" Lieutenant Colonel Mesud smiled.
"If I have one or two enterprise-class ships, I might be able to give them a try." Horatio Wayne said.
As an old comrade in arms, Lieutenant Colonel Mesud can certainly see that this guy is indeed sincere!
"However, to be realistic, you can still arrive at Dawn Pass in advance to ambush and observe the enemy's movements. If you really find a Titan, you can follow her for a while to determine her movements."
Everyone always thinks that this order is actually a bit crazy, but considering that Horatio Wayne is like this, and no matter what, it sounds better to follow the Titan than to attack the Titan with one or two aircraft carriers.
However, Lieutenant Colonel Emma Bolt thought about the scene carefully, and suddenly showed an ugly expression: "Is the tail (meow) going to the Vulcan? I always feel that it is very serious!"
"No, it's actually a pursuit." Wayne said seriously: "Even if the spirit of the universe comes, we will still pursue it!"
