Chapter 432: The Federation’s plan to kill two birds with one stone
“Dr. Mephisto, are you sure you want to come in person?”
The commander of the 24th Fleet, the newly promoted Rear Admiral Mueller After finishing his exchange with the commander of the 23rd Fleet, he turned to look at Dr. Mephisto aside.
"If others can't handle it, I will definitely do it myself." Dr. Mephisto came back to his senses and looked at Major General Mueller and said:
"I went to the deployment bay to prepare. After that, it’s up to you to command us to break into the appropriate distance.”
Before Mueller could say anything, the old man floated towards the hatch of the bridge, preparing to take the elevator to the deployment bay on the bottom deck.
"Doctor, pay attention to safety."
"Don't worry, Major General, just concentrate on your command and don't worry about us."
Dr. Mephisto smiled and said Before closing the hatch, he finally said:
"If something goes wrong with the operation and we are trapped in the fortress, don't hesitate and don't send people to rescue us. Command the fleet to evacuate immediately. You have more important things." Mission.”
As Dr. Mephisto finished speaking, the hatch from the bridge to the outside world was closed again.
Rear Admiral Muller sat back on the captain's seat, looked at the burning space outside the panoramic window, took a deep breath and ordered:
"All fleets, start fighting as planned Plan an attack and cover the assault team to break into the target fortress!”
Under his order, the internal lights of all battleships turned to red lights in combat status, and the mixed red lights shone in Muller’s cabin! His expression was hidden on his transparent helmet.
As the fleet commanders of the new 24th Fleet, Muller and Barak, who was also just promoted to rear admiral and was responsible for commanding the new 23rd Fleet, were originally going to bring two units with them. The fully manned fleet went straight to the front line as a new force to support Marshal Trafalgar's 'strategic decisive battle'.
But a few days before departure, Defense Secretary Miller temporarily blocked the two fleets after communicating with Marshal Trafalgar. At the same time, he and the Chief of Staff of the Naval Command personally approached the two fleets. A newly promoted major general, let them secretly lead the fleet to participate in the battle against Atlas.
As for this private company that defeated the federal army and even directly defeated the Thirteenth Fleet in the conflict on Para IV, the two of them naturally heard about it.
At first, the two of them thought they were going to lead the fleet to directly support the military-industrial complex’s fleet battle—this was indeed the arrangement when the federal government and the military-industrial complex discussed it.
But when they arrived at the attack preparation airspace and opened the encrypted message left by Miller, they learned that their real mission was to escort the commandos and Dr. Mephisto to break in while the corporate fleet was attacking. fortress.
In other words, regardless of whether the fleet of the military-industrial complex will send a distress signal to them, the 23rd and 24th fleets will find opportunities to enter.
Mueller was born into a naval family. Growing up in such an environment, he still knows much better than ordinary people about the unforgivable matters between the federal government, the military, and the military-industrial complex.
So after seeing the real mission of their two fleets this time, he quickly guessed that this was actually a plan by the Federation to kill two birds with one stone.
When he sat on the captain's seat and came out of the jump, and saw the beaten combined fleet to pieces, he knew that his guess was probably true.
When the joint corporate fleet and Atlas are fighting fiercely, they can take the opportunity to send the commandos into the fortress to perform tasks, and at the same time, they can seriously damage the military-industrial complex or Atlas.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that the losses of the military-industrial complex are even more severe. Muller estimates that if their two main navy fleets do not take action, Atlas may really be able to unite the military-industrial complex. The fleet is exhausted.
On the other side, Amber, Guterres and others, as well as the military-industrial complex, also noticed the two federal navy fleets that came to 'support'. This moment can be said to be a moment of joy for some and sadness for others. Amber and the others were still a little surprised and nervous when they saw these two regular fleets that were well-organized and the quality of the ships had not shrunk at all.
I didn’t expect that the federal government would develop two full fleets. Secondly, I didn’t expect that the federal government would paint these two fleets, which looked very new. Sent to support the military-industrial complex.
After Megan, Bell and others saw the 'friendly' fleet finally arriving, a feeling of hard work came to their hearts. The former even shouted in the communication channel with a trembling voice. : "Reinforcements have arrived, and victory will eventually belong to our side!"
But soon, both Amber and Meghan discovered that the situation seemed a little different from what they thought.
The two newly entered federal naval fleets did not follow the conventional steps and launch a standard artillery formation to attack the unmanned fleet or the A. Bawa Ku asteroid fortress. Instead, they put up a forceful invasion formation and headed towards the fortress. He rushed directly in the direction.
Seeing this scene, Megan's excitement on his face was quickly extinguished. He immediately realized that the two federal naval fleets that entered the scene were not here to support them at all.
"Warning! The deflection field generator is overloaded!" The sudden warning from the shipboard control personality brought Megan back to her senses.
Since the unmanned fleet entered the scene and began to attack, his flagship has become the opponent's key target of attack. Under the control of those shipboard control personalities adjusted by Lilith, the shooting of the unmanned fleet The accuracy is so much higher than that of the Enterprise Combined Fleet.
So the deflection field of the USS Hood battleship where Megan was located, after resisting several rounds of concentrated fire from the unmanned fleet's battleship, finally could no longer hold on at this moment and was directly overloaded.
"This ship makes an emergency evasion! Send a signal at the same time for the Bunker Hill and the Evenness to go up. The damage control team and the technical team immediately organize emergency repairs!"
At the same time as Megan issued the order, the straight-line distance was 6500 The most well-organized unmanned fleet kilometers away also captured the Kraken-class battleship, which was the key target of the attack, and was urgently adjusting its posture in an attempt to hide behind the friendly forces.
The shipboard control personalities of the five Kraken-class unmanned battleships reacted quickly at this moment. After the main guns on the bow of the ship released working fluid for forced cooling, they immediately launched a new round of firing. shoot.
Dozens of heavy metal ion jets spanned a distance of 6,500 kilometers and arrived in front of the Hood two seconds later. However, most of the attacks were blocked by the other two heavy cruisers already in place.
Although this round of salvo also overloaded their deflection field generator, it still prevented the Hood from using its 'physical body' to directly connect dozens of heavy metal particle jets. .
Unfortunately, there were still two heavy metal jets that almost missed the heavy cruiser's deflection force field, and under the influence of the magnetic field, the attack that was supposed to hit the main armor belt on the bow of the Hood was slightly deflected
The side armor of the USS Hood battleship was directly torn open at a large angle, and then the scattered heavy metal particles were like shotguns fired at close range, turning the black body cladding and titanium alloy frame under the main armor into a hole-like shape. and eventually swept through a group of superconducting battery stacks.
"Warning, No. 04 superconducting battery stack quenched! Emergency isolation is in progress."
"Boom!"
The high-temperature plasma that lost its restraint rushed away manically. It hit the isolation door before it could fall down, and then followed the passages and pipelines directly to the other two adjacent sets of superconducting battery stacks.
"Fuck!"
Combined Fleet Commander Megan Ford finally had time to curse out the last word, and was swallowed up by the high-temperature plasma fireball along with the Hood and thousands of crew members on it.
