Chapter 782 Matt Horner’s Brainstorm
781 Matt Horner’s Brainstorm
In just 3 days, he accepted employment and came to Terminus. The number of mercenaries on the battlefield in Fermoth City, the planet's capital, has exceeded 10,000.
And most of these people also brought their own spaceships, further enhancing the Galactic Republic's air superiority.
Of course, just to hire these people, the Galactic Republic paid close to 50 million credits.
The Fourth Civilization's robot legion's attack in the western suburbs was ultimately defeated. With the reinforcements of these mercenaries, the Galactic Republic's army began to gain an advantage even in terms of numbers.
More than 20,000 robots were destroyed on the battlefield in the western suburbs.
After sending away these robot armies, the ground battlefield of the Fourth Civilization fell silent, and no further offensive was launched.
In fact, the series of offensives by the Fourth Civilization made the Galactic Republic itself feel very uncomfortable. When fighting the Fourth Civilization Army, the battle damage ratio suffered by the clone army was incomparable to other battlefields.
Now that the other side has finally stopped, the Republic is also seizing the time to transport supplies and soldiers, renovate spaceships and equipment, and prepare for the next wave of offensive.
In fact, the Fourth Civilization is indeed preparing for the next wave of offensive.
Three days ago, Matt Horner submitted his next action plan and asked the scientific research department to put into use the prototypes of the two new warships currently being studied, and to a certain extent. modification.
His application put the scientific research department in a difficult position. In the end, they really had no way to make a decision, so they submitted this request to Tang Xiao, because this application may delay the development of new warships by at least Half a year.
What nonsense, you have taken away the prototype ship, what should we use for testing?
After Tang Xiao saw Matt Horner's plan, even he, a Sith Lord, couldn't help but cursed, "Madman."
But he still agreed to Matt Horner's request, because when he saw the plan, he couldn't help but connect the plan with a special force in his mind.
Hmm...the army in "Halo".
Although I don’t have the money to buy that thing now, it should be possible to come up with some substitutes.
All he can say about this is that he really pushed Matt Horner to the edge. His imagination is not inferior to Severance Tann, one of the best players in the galaxy today. of.
And to put it another way, the scientific research department of the Fourth Civilization has recently been conquering three main types of new warships. As long as it does not affect the other two that Tang Xiao values especially, Matt Horner wants No matter how much you mess around, it's still within the acceptable range. And what Matt Horner is interested in is really the one that Tang Xiao doesn't care about.
……
Time passes to 22BBY, October 13th.
Matt Horner finally got the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time - two prototypes of new warships that had been refitted, and news from the Hutt Oruba Gorensla. The flashing white light lit up when the large battleship left the hyperspace channel, and then two flat, ugly battleships flew over.
It is not an exaggeration to say that these two battleships are ugly.
This kind of warship is 1,350 meters long and 540 meters wide. The entire warship does not have any protruding superstructure and is completely a flat plate. If I must say it, there are five large modular bays installed on both sides of the battleship.
If no one explained it, then this battleship would probably be thought to be used for coal mining.
Of course, this kind of warship from the Emergency Traders Alliance in "Sins of the Sun Empire" is indeed converted from a cargo ship. It is precisely because of this that the scientific research team of the Fourth Civilization developed this kind of warship. The main reason is that the research and development work is simple, and it can also try to see if it can bring some new tactics to the navy.
At least one that can scare the Republic.
The Corsev-class battlecruiser (CorsevBattlecruiser) is the name of this kind of battleship.
This is a battlecruiser for battlefield support. This battleship does not use artillery or fighter jets for support, but uses marines.
That’s right, it’s a gang-hopping fight!
The ten large modular pods on the battleship are actually used to launch assault spacecraft filled with marines. This kind of assault spacecraft can accelerate to an extremely fast level in a short distance, and is equipped with a high-power laser welding gun in front of the spacecraft, which can be used to cut the hull armor. It is also equipped with pressure increasing and reducing equipment to stabilize the atmospheric pressure inside and outside.
The Kesov-class battlecruiser waits until the opponent's battleship shield is destroyed, launches a raid spaceship to allow a large number of marines to board the enemy ship, and eliminates the enemy ship's resistance from within. Good luck You might even be able to capture your opponent's warship.
The reason why the Fourth Civilization scientific research team believes that this tactic is useful is mainly for two reasons - the first is that the resistant steel armor used by the Galactic Republic battleships is really strong. In almost every space battle, Many of the Republic's warships were only damaged but not destroyed. If they could not gain a decisive advantage in the battle, the Republic's fleet would often retreat with a large number of injured warships.
Then he took it back for overhaul and a month later it was a good man again.
The second problem is that the entire Federation of Independent Systems now has a huge number of combat robots, but it lacks enough carrying capacity to allow these robots to exert their combat effectiveness. Otherwise, the Confederacy of Independent Systems on any planet can throw in 100 million battle robots, and your mere hundreds of thousands of clone soldiers and laxly armed local defense forces can fight them slowly.
What's more, these combat robots are not yet able to play a role in space battles.
The Kesov-class battlecruiser is the battleship that allows these combat robots to play a role in space battles - wouldn't it be great to turn space battles into land battles. This is just like the battle between ancient Rome and Carthage. Since the Romans couldn't defeat Carthage in a naval battle, they could use the Crow Battleship to directly engage the Carthage in a land battle.
So sometimes history always appears in a unique way.
The scientific research team of the Fourth Civilization developed the Kesov-class battlecruiser to verify the feasibility of this tactic.
But Matt Horner wanted these two Kesov-class battleships, but that was not his intention.
After everything was in place, Matt Horner finally issued the order to attack with all his strength!
"The whole army attacks! After this battle, the planet Terminus will be captured! If you don't succeed, you will be punished! I will be a natural disaster!!" Matt Horner stood upright in the bridge, exhausted. Roar loudly with all your strength.
All the battleships of the Fourth Civilization gathered here mobilized and launched another all-out attack on the Galactic Republic fleet!
