Chapter 634: Do the whole show
Aquila Nebula, 'Pillar of All Beings' area.
Outside the majestic huge dust cloud, a series of space fluctuations appeared without warning, and giant steel ships suddenly appeared in this space in the white flash caused by the space fluctuations.
As the huge fleet completed its overall jump, the fleet also quickly and uniformly lit up the main propulsion array for more than ten seconds. After gaining a certain speed, it immediately turned on optical stealth and blended into the cold cosmic background.
Within 30 seconds from the flash of light caused by space fluctuations, this huge fleet also disappeared from the outer space of the 'Pillar of All Living Beings'.
Amber was sitting in the captain's seat on the Infinity-class super flagship No. 3 ship, the Eternal, which had entered the 'covert action' mode and was leading the raiding fleet to a certain coordinate. , listening to the information reported by the shipboard control personality.
"The blackbody cladding has been activated, the cooling layer working fluid water has begun to operate, and the surface temperature of the ship body is decreasing, and it is close to the background temperature of the universe."
"The passive radar early warning device has not detected any radar waves until now, and the possibility of the fleet being detected by ultra-long-range long-wave radar continues to decrease."
The most dangerous and easily detectable moment for the entire fleet is the less than 30 seconds just after the collective escape from the jump and before entering the 'stealth mode'. During this time, infrared detection equipment and radar can detect this. Of a fleet.
However, until the entire fleet re-entered the 'covert action' mode, no characteristics of any detection methods were found - although infrared and ultraviolet optical detection were indeed undetectable, after the fleet turned on the black body coating and lowered the surface temperature, it wanted to Continuously tracking the target still requires radar assistance. Therefore, the newly appointed shipboard controller on the Eternal quickly made a judgment.
"Commander, judging from the current information, our jump behavior was not noticed by the enemy. Will we sail silently according to the planned plan?"
After hearing the question about the personality of the shipboard controller, Amber thought for a moment and then said:
"The entire fleet has entered Level 2 combat readiness, all personnel have changed their cabin suits, non-main cabins have been given priority to drain oxygen, the main superconducting battery stack is charged, and HCP and heavy armored combat craft personnel are in place"
The shipboard control personality naturally obeyed Amber's orders unconditionally, so she soon began to issue instructions to the entire fleet through the tactical network.
This skipped the tactical adjutant and communications officer and simplified it to 'fleet command → command ship (flagship) shipboard control personality → fleet'. It extremely tests the ability of the top commander, and at the same time ties the entire fleet to the hands of the fleet commander. The command mode is also an experiment currently carried out by the Atlas Combat Fleet on the Infinity-class No. 3 ship.
However, this experiment was only halfway through. The No. 3 ship, the Eternal, was urgently installed along with a group of newly launched warships, and participated in this secret combat operation.
Although the shipboard control personality will obey Amber's orders unconditionally, other officers on the bridge will still be somewhat confused by Amber's orders after listening to the previous information.
Especially Ramos, who had just been promoted to Fleet Tactical Adjutant. The commander of the special strike formation, because of his outstanding performance in several previous missions, was urgently promoted to Fleet Tactical Adjutant this time to follow Amber.
It's not that Amber doesn't want to bring other more experienced people, but Cliffs, Randall and Guterres, who are all commanding the fleet to confront the federal fleet at the edge of the federal controlled area.
Although the offensive posture put up there is just a cover and a tactical deception, it is the entire assets of the Atlas combat fleet anyway, so Amber can only command the three most experienced fleets. Stay over there.
If the federal fleet couldn't think of anything and took the initiative to launch an attack, they would be able to stabilize their position and take the opportunity to counterattack. However, when it comes to the secret fleet led by Amber, the senior officers will naturally have to promote a group of new people.
Fortunately, Guterres was not idle when he came to the Atlas Group. He completed the revision and improvement of the combat fleet training syllabus very early, and at the same time paid close attention to the training and assessment of senior officers in the Polish fleet, so In fact, there is not much problem with the ability of these officers. The main problem is their lack of experience.
Just like Ramos next to Amber, he raised his question to Amber with some doubts. This is also the order Amber gave to all the newly promoted officers - if you have any questions before entering the battle, please ask immediately. After the battle, follow the command for all actions~
"Boss, weren't we discovered? Why did we enter combat readiness in advance? Could it be that you noticed something was wrong?"
"Your first sentence was wrong." Amber shook her head. "We are currently not sure that we have not been discovered. If it is infrared, ultraviolet and other optical detection equipment, it can completely detect us without alerting us. , discovered our fleet.”
"But if the other party does not conduct continuous radar tracking, won't the target be lost after the fleet enters the 'covert action' state?" Ramos was still a little confused. "No, this is purely a matter of experience. You all should listen to it~"
Amber raised his hand and called several tactical staff officers, intelligence officers, gunnery officers and others on the bridge over.
"When you encounter similar situations in the future, you must try to put yourself into the perspective of the opponent's commander. Now think about it, if you are the commander guarding here, and suddenly receive a report that an unknown fleet has been discovered, And the other party quickly entered a state of covert action. Do you think you still need to continue to follow it?
This fleet suddenly appeared in this top-secret area. Do you think their target could be anywhere else besides the secret location you guard? ”
Hearing this, the young officers almost simultaneously made expressions of "sudden realization" and "that's it", and Ramos started directly:
"So Boss, are you giving the command based on the situation of 'assuming that the other party has discovered us'?"
Amber nodded: "Yes, hypothetical principle. When you are unable to obtain more clear information, there is nothing wrong with remaining cautious and being lenient with the enemy."
"Then do you think the Federation will guess our operation and deploy heavy troops here in advance to catch turtles in a urn?"
"First of all, please shut up your 'crow's mouth'. Don't think that because the previous fleet codename was 'Red Hand', you can speak unscrupulously. You must maintain awe of 'metaphysics'."
Amber's words made the young officers around him laugh. Only Ramos subconsciously raised his hand to scratch his head in embarrassment, and then put it down after realizing that he had put on the cabin suit.
"Secondly, regarding this question, my answer is - I don't know either."
Amber shrugged helplessly, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he really couldn't guess what Marshal Trafalgar would choose when faced with Atlas's strategic fraud.

To be honest, Amber felt that she had really gone to the extreme in order to complete this strategic fraud, and all the arrangements were down to the smallest detail.
Since we don’t know how well the Federation knows about the hull numbers of the Atlas combat fleet, all the fleets that have appeared publicly and participated in the battle before, including the two super flagships as ‘emblems’, have all been left behind. On the other side of the confrontation line, it looked like "the main force was deployed in full force".
Cliffs, Randall, Guterres and others also stayed there to command the fleet, giving the fleet a "sophisticated" tactical style.
At the same time, Murat's plane was painted exactly the same as Amber, and when he needed to go out, he would try his best to imitate Amber's characteristics in his driving habits.
This is not a difficult problem for the HCP unit commander. After all, Murat, Louis and other ACEs are usually trained in simulated battles with Amber afterimages with a simulation degree of up to 90%. '.
On the other hand, 65% of the warships participating in the attack on the proton annihilation bomb assembly center were newly launched, and the rest were all warships whose hull numbers had not yet been exposed, which also means that this is a force that has broken away from the Federation. 'Stealth Fleet' controlled by intelligence.
The biggest shortcoming of this fleet is naturally its insufficient training and lack of actual combat experience.
However, the 'new command model' centered on fleet command and flagship shipboard control personality can make up for this in a sense - anyway, the main instructions are issued by Amber through the shipboard control personality of the 'Eternal' When it comes to the entire fleet, all ships in the fleet can execute orders unconditionally. At this point, they have no problem.
Therefore, it can be said that Atlas has made this operation as perfect as possible, and in the few brief communications received quickly after the fleet left the jump, it was also confirmed that a large number of federal navy appeared on the other side of the confrontation line fleet.
It can be said that the opponent was eager to try, and even forced the six 'Spectral Destroyer' battlecruisers originally intended to be used as secret weapons to conduct five consecutive rounds of light-second level sniping, and sank the flagship of a federal fleet
Seeing this news, Amber couldn't help but feel lucky.
"Brother, I've already acted to this extent. The marshal can't resist taking the bait, can he?"
