Chapter 519 Surprise
In the following days, Davis launched lengthy negotiations on behalf of the federal government and the Rubian System Autonomous Government.
In addition, through the secret line connected to the autonomous government, he directly negotiated with Chief Executive Alex and others hiding in deep space.
I have to say that Brandon and Miller sent Davis out for a certain reason. Although as Secretary of State, Davis is extremely good at negotiation and negotiation, and his energy after entering the state is unlimited. .
With the help of the medicine that he got up every day, Davis was able to 'confront' the galaxy's autonomous government on his own.
Although the progress of this negotiation was beyond Davis' initial expectations, he must have had many plans as he was fully prepared, and the current situation happened to be one that was taken into consideration in the plan.
Brandon, Miller and others naturally knew that the negotiations with the Rubian Galaxy Autonomous Government would not be so smooth, and would most likely lead to a stalemate.
So Brandon still left some conditions for Davis to make concessions, so that he could use these conditions in negotiations to achieve the final goal.
Whether it is the federal government or the Rubian Galaxy Autonomous Government, they actually have their own weaknesses and goals.
The former hopes to quell the 'rebellion' in the Lubion system and prevent the chaos within the federation from getting worse. At the same time, it also hopes to re-establish prestige in the process, preferably by taking the opportunity to weaken the autonomous government. rights.
The latter needs the support of the federal government to widen the gap in strength between itself and the rebels to prevent itself from being overthrown by the growing rebels in the system - especially the Renaissance Alliance supported by Atlas.
It can be said that both sides have mastered the conditions that restrict the other party, which has also led to extremely slow progress in negotiations between Davis and the self-government.
But this situation soon ushered in a turning point.
As the Renaissance Alliance completed the reception of equipment, training and troop reorganization during this period, it also launched the "Winter Offensive" heading north, with its troops directed at the area controlled by the Galaxy Autonomous Government on Rubian 5. .
At the same time, the autonomous government also discovered through limited satellite reconnaissance that a force from the Renaissance Alliance completed a secret crossing of the sea and landed on another continent.
This continent is also an area controlled by the autonomous government, and the other space elevator "Pillar of Heaven I" standing on the equator is also the most important space and earth hub in addition to several air and space ports controlled by the autonomous government.
Once we fail here, the materials and equipment transported from other planets and industrial colonial satellites can only be transported through aerospace transport aircraft, and the efficiency of material transportation will be greatly reduced.
More importantly, the starport connected to the top of the space elevator is the largest military starport currently controlled by the autonomous government, and it is also the most important mooring area for the garrison fleet near Rubion 5.
Although the forces of the Renaissance Alliance may not be able to launch an attack on the star port through the orbital elevator for the time being, according to secret information obtained by the autonomous government, the Renaissance Alliance is training HCP pilots with the help of Atlas Group, Combat boat pilots and hell paratroopers
The first two are capable of independent combat in outer orbit. As long as the Renaissance Alliance gets a few combat barges to release HCP and combat boats below the planet's horizon, then these small units can Directly use the cover of the debris in orbit to approach the starport.
The Hell Paratroopers are not just light infantry units that are projected to the ground. Their predecessor also has another name - Orbital Commando.
As the name suggests, they are also proficient in breaking into star ports, space stations, and colonial satellites, which means that the opponent can completely threaten the star port with huge casualties.
If Atlas’ combat fleet appears near the planet again at this time, the garrison fleet must choose between ‘protecting the satellite port’ and ‘preserving itself’.
If they choose to defend the star port, they may be able to prevent the Renaissance Alliance from attacking the star port, but the fleet will also be 'tethered' near the star port, once the Atlas Group really intends to carry out a military adventure , then these warships with limited maneuvering range will become targets in orbit.
Although the above are the worst guesses made by the autonomous government based on the current situation, they cannot but think about it because it is directly related to their 'end'.
No one knows what the actual controller of the Atlas Group is thinking. From the previous conflicts between Atlas and the Federation, it is easy to see that this is a very courageous person who does not play by the rules. .
That’s why the top leaders of the autonomous government, including Alex, did not dare to bet with their future that the Atlas Group would not end directly.
On the other hand, Davis calmed down after receiving the relevant information, because he knew that the rapid deterioration of the situation on the planet could be said to have helped the federal government a lot, and the other party had to do something in this somewhat urgent situation. Make a decision.
——
"So what are Mr. Alex and everyone in the autonomous government thinking?"
After the last round of negotiations began, Davis looked at Alex and others projected by the holographic projection equipment in the conference room with a smile.
Today is his last day on Rubion 5. Regardless of the final outcome, he will leave after this negotiation.
Because in his opinion, when the Renaissance Alliance launches a new round of offensive, the most urgent person is not himself.
The federal government is not here to ask for help. On the contrary, the Lubian Autonomous Government is asking for help from the federal government, so if the other party cannot respond, it will not stay here forever.
However, Davis had a vague hunch that today's negotiations might get the result he wanted.
"Mr. Secretary of State, the conditions you proposed in the last round of negotiations were really harsh." Chief Executive Alex sighed, and then continued:
"And you also know that the conditions aboard Lubion 5 The situation has deteriorated. Even if we agree to propose your conditions, it does not seem to be able to alleviate the current situation."
"Who said it can't be alleviated?" Davis said slowly, "It's not necessary at this time. Without telling you, the 17th and 18th fleets of the Federation Navy are currently on standby three standard jump distances away."
As soon as his words came out, Alex and others were stunned. His expression was like that of a thirsty traveler in the desert who saw a clear spring.
Their expressions were naturally what Davis expected. If the conditions that Brandon granted him to make concessions were bargaining chips, then these two fleets were his biggest trump cards.
After admiring everyone's expressions for a while, Davis continued with a smile: "If you all agree to the conditions I proposed before, then the Rubian system will be supported by two fully equipped main fleets in three days."
< br>——
Twenty minutes later, in the convoy heading to the Skyport outside Breske City.
After watching the motorcade drive out of the city, Davis contacted Brandon in the capital through an encrypted communication terminal.
"Mr. President, they finally accepted Plan H. Although we also suffered certain losses compared to the best result, I personally think it is still acceptable.
The Renaissance Alliance suddenly launched a large-scale offensive from a certain In this sense, it has helped us, but I suggest that the seventeenth and eighteenth fleets should enter the Rubian system as soon as possible to prevent the Atlas Group from carrying out military adventures
Yes. , Atlas Group and the Renaissance Alliance have already launched in-depth cooperation, so they are likely to cooperate with the Renaissance Alliance to carry out operations."
When Davis ended the call with President Brandon, the team also It drove directly into the vicinity of a large mass accelerator in the space port. The space plane used to transport Davis and other accompanying personnel had completed preparations and docked at the end of the acceleration track.
Soon, the delegation from the federal government also completed boarding, and the aerospace plane would also send them into space and dock with a captain belonging to the 18th Fleet parked in orbit. Distance penetration on the reconnaissance ship.
The mass accelerator, which had completed all preparations in advance, began to power on shortly after everyone completed boarding, and the skyport tower also approved the ejection request of this special plane.
"Attention TJ-1121, this is the tower, the mass catapult has completed ejection preparation, and the ejection countdown is 1 minute"
"TJ-1121 received, has completed flight preparation and is waiting for ejection, thank you Guidance~"
"The target is ready to eject. Move quickly!"
On an air defense position near Skyport, an air defense machine is covered with anti-infrared and anti-radiation camouflage nets. Near the vehicle, five 'government' soldiers were throwing several bodies dragged out of the anti-aircraft vehicle onto the ground.
After leaving two people to guard outside, the remaining three people immediately got into the air defense vehicle and used the terminal pulled off the body to gain permission to switch the 'automatic alert mode' of the air defense vehicle to 'manual mode'.
"The Identification Friend or Foe unit has been closed!"
"The current atmospheric data has been updated, and the high-energy laser killing efficiency is 82%!"
"It is enough to lock the target. Enter the quality accelerator parameters and calculate the continuous tracking advance"
"OK system has completed the calculation!"
As the three people operated, the heavy-duty high-energy laser turret mounted on the anti-aircraft vehicle also began to rotate, and finally pointed at a 'virtual extension line' of the mass accelerator orbit.
But at this moment, the communication unit in the car suddenly rang. The leader of the three glanced at the screen. It was a communication request from the command vehicle of the air defense battalion.
The leader quickly clicked on the screen, and the communication unit switched to silent mode.
And this behavior of not accepting communication requests, coupled with the sudden adjustment of the angle of the fort, naturally aroused the vigilance of the command vehicle.
The two soldiers on guard outside quickly noticed the other party's movements.
"Captain, there is a Mongoose coming this way, 600 meters away. It should be someone from the infantry platoon assigned to this air defense battalion."
"It's okay, our goal will be achieved soon. "
The soldier called the captain had a fanatical look on his face, and the other two soldiers in the car were breathing heavily.
“400 meters away!”
“300 meters away!”
"Distance is 200 meters! The opponent has put down their infantry and launched a battle formation! Get ready for battle!"
As soon as the soldiers on guard outside the vehicle finished speaking, the huge mass accelerator in the distance finally released the stored energy Released.
Under the huge acceleration, the aerospace plane carrying the federal government delegation rushed out of the end of the arc-shaped acceleration orbit in the blink of an eye and shot straight into the sky.
The next second, a red beam of light suddenly illuminated the aerospace plane, and melted the outer structure of the aerospace plane under the continuous tracking and irradiation for several seconds.
“Boom!”
In the eyes of all the witnesses who could not believe it, the aerospace plane disintegrated and exploded in the air, and eventually turned into several fireballs and fell to the ground under the influence of gravity.
