Chapter 559 The much-anticipated battle
Elenita never expected to encounter such a scene.
She originally thought that she was invited to the Elf Court this time because she was being questioned about some matters related to the Atlas Group, but she didn’t expect that she didn’t say a few words at the beginning. She has always been relatively stable and dignified. The queen suddenly started to eat melon.
In the past, although she had a better relationship with Amber, the relatively innocent Ellenita would naturally answer this question openly.
But now, the relationship between Ellenita and Amber is indeed a bit unclear, so the queen's question successfully stunned her for a second or two.
The rich elf woman's cheeks were slightly red, but she quickly regained her composure and responded with a smile: "Her Majesty the Queen is really good at joking~ However, Amber is indeed a very important friend of mine."
Elleni Naturally, it is impossible for Ta to admit his close relationship with Amber in this scene, at least not now.
On the other side, the Phoenix King, who also had a smile on his face after finishing his melon, regained his serious expression. , continued:
"Ellenita, I understand the friendship between you, and I also know that the Yuge family is currently closely related to the Atlas Group, but this does not change the fact that the current tense situation is.
Especially considering that there are many Roma people working for Atlas Group, this makes us have to treat this matter more cautiously. As the Phoenix King, I must consider other people in the country. voice, especially when it comes to the sensitive topic of 'Roma'."
Ellenita nodded and said frankly:
“I do know about the Roma issues, and I have also been a matchmaker for them to a certain extent.
I guarantee you this. The Roma also joined the Atlas Group voluntarily. After all, the salaries there are very high and all benefits are fully paid, so they performed very bravely on the battlefield.”
"I have never doubted whether it is voluntary." The Phoenix King took over Ellenita's words and said:
"As the rising star of the Yuge family, I believe in you Ellenita. He is measured, so he will definitely not make any unreliable moves.
I'm just worried that those 'conservatives' will take the opportunity to disrupt the currently calm public opinion field. After all, as the intensity of the fighting increases, the casualties of Atlas, including those of the Roma who hold office, will definitely increase.
If something goes wrong at this time, it would not be good if those 'conservatives' seize the opportunity to cause trouble. ”
Elenita naturally understands what the Phoenix King means. The latter is not breaking away from the 'lay down' position and targeting the 'conservatives', but does not want any public opinion in the Thousand Stars Empire to appear. Question.
As the future successor of the Yuge family, Ellenita, who often interacts with the Elf Royal Court, knows that the elves in the royal family have truly achieved the unity of knowledge and action in the matter of "lying down". '.
The long life of the elves and their practice of almost never actively launching wars have made the elves accustomed to such peaceful days over the past thousands of years. As the supreme ruler of the Thousand Stars Empire, The Phoenix King is no exception.
Otherwise, he, who is in a high and powerful position, would not take 'plainness is the truth' as his motto.
So when it comes to the Roma people, the Phoenix King does not favor the 'equalists' and ' The conservatives' are of no party, but are 'lying flat' out and about.
As long as the two sides do not cause anything that undermines the social stability of the Thousand Star Empire, the Elf Royal Court will never intervene, which can be regarded as adding a touch of spice to the prosperous and peaceful daily life of the Thousand Star Empire.
It’s just that the casualties of the Roma people currently working in the Atlas Group have been increasing due to the human civil war, and this has also been caught by the 'conservatives' as a matter of public opinion. bullets fired.
Some 'conservatives' even put forward the idea of 'intervening in the civil war of mankind, bringing these displaced Roma people back to their settlements, and living their old lives again'
And such a view obviously touches the bottom line of the Elf King's Court.
Everyone is living a good life, why do we have to get involved in human beings' bad things?
So after listening to the Phoenix King's words, Ellenita also bowed her head respectfully:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to communicate and coordinate, so that Ah The Atlas Group has done everything possible when it comes to Roma-related matters, and I believe Mr. Amber will also attach great importance to this. After all, the Atlas Group started its business by relying on this kind of high welfare benefits."
Speaking of this, Ellenita couldn’t help but smile, and then continued:
"Your Majesty has not had any contact with Mr. Amber, so you may not know. Although he is the actual controller of Atlas Group, judging from daily contacts and some of his decisions, it is difficult to tell that Amber is a human being. Capitalist, it seems that he did not create this company to make money."
"Oh~?" After hearing Ellenita's description, the Phoenix King asked with interest:
"Then what is this Mr. Amber doing?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I don't know what he is doing. Maybe it's just for fun. Speaking of which, I always think he is quite suitable to come here. Star Empire lies down~"
"Is he also a fun person? Interesting."
The Phoenix King rarely showed a look of laughter, while the queen beside him had already covered her mouth and chuckled.
After a moment, the supreme ruler of the Thousand Stars Empire looked at Ellenita again.
“I believe Ellenita that you can coordinate these things with Mr. Amber. If the Roma people can really find their own way through the Atlas Group, it may not be a problem. Bad thing, isn’t it?”
——
After a while, Ellenita left the Elven Court under the guidance of the waiter.
And her mind was still thinking about the Phoenix King's previous rhetorical question.
“Forging a path belonging to the Roma people, Your Majesty, are you finally planning to end this dispute?”
Elenita slowed down and looked back into the depths of the forest. In that looming ancient building complex, she suddenly realized that a change that was about to sweep across the entire empire seemed to have begun to take shape here.
“What will happen when the ‘lying-flat faction’ no longer lies flat?”
This question popped up in the mind of this wealthy woman, and at the same time I thought about Amber and the Atlas Group again - to a certain extent, if something happened to the Thousand Stars Empire later because of the Roma-related issues, then Amber would be the trigger of all this. .
"Amber, Amber, why didn't I realize before that you are a man who is so good at causing trouble?"
Alenita got on the family car and drove towards the airport, thinking as she answered the call. Communication from one’s own assistant.
"Mina, I'm done here. The spaceship can start preparations for departure. When I arrive, it will set off directly back to the family headquarters."
"Received, Lord Yuge, It's been arranged." A capable voice came from the other end of the communication. This was the newly promoted assistant of the rich woman after Shikodi was completely seconded to the Atlas Group.
Elenita: "Is there anything new over there in the Lubion Galaxy?"
Mina on the other end of the communication nodded and said with a serious expression: "After you went to the Elf King's Court, there was a large-scale electronic interference situation near Lubion 5, and all civilian communication methods also failed. We infer that The two sides may have entered the electronic warfare stage before the official exchange of fire.
By the way, according to the information sent by the Atlas Group Liaison Department and what our reconnaissance ships discovered at the scene, these days A large number of third-party reconnaissance ships and disguised spy ships have entered the Rubian system one after another, and have approached the vicinity of Rubian 5.
At present, the identity can be roughly determined. There are the federal military-industrial complex, forces within the federation that are demanding independence or have launched armed rebellions, the regents, princess parties, royalists, state religions, and major nobles on the Star Dragon Empire side.
Yes. Yes, Atlas also discovered a research vessel from the 'Quest for Truth Foundation'"
"Wait a minute, so many???" Ellenita was stunned for a moment, then raised her jade arm to pinch her eyebrows, and said with a wry smile:
"I really didn't expect so many forces to come and watch. ', but judging from what you said, the two sides should be about to start a fight. What was the previous battle deployment of the two sides? "
"As for the battle deployment information, the latest we collected was five hours ago. After that, both fleets turned on optical camouflage and black body coatings and entered covert action mode.
There were also many destroyers on the periphery that were driving away third-party ships approaching the war zone, so after that. We can only collect some information through electromagnetic signals.
But after the two sides enter the electronic war, there is no way to collect electromagnetic signals. Ah! Master Yuge, I will compile the battle deployment before. The message has been sent to you.”
Hearing Mina's words, Ellenita opened a newly received document, which was information about the combat deployment of the Lubion system compiled by the Yuge Family War Information Department.
Mina on the other side of the communication continued to say to her at this time:
“According to the information we collected, the four fleets of the Federation Navy accelerated along the Lubion 4. The ecliptic plane rushed to the space area 520,000 kilometers away from Rubian 5 and completed its deployment
The second and third unmanned fleets and the third task force on the Atlas side also did the same. The deployment was completed on the ecliptic plane near Rubion 5 - that is, the front of the Federation Navy.
Then the two sides entered the 'covert action mode'. According to the War Intelligence Department, this was the human navy. In the 'hide-and-seek' phase that is likely to occur before the battle, the fleets of both sides will constantly adjust their battle positions in an attempt to gain the initiative to initiate the attack."
At this point, Mina paused, and then continued with some confusion:
"But the Atlas First Fleet led by Mr. Amber still doesn't know what happened after it jumped away two days ago. Whereabouts, Atlas did not disclose any information to us
According to the reply from the intelligence department, it seems that other forces present in the system, including the Federation Navy, are also looking for this fleet. "
"Interesting. It seems that this arrangement is Amber's 'winner' in this battle~" Ellenita said suddenly.
After the cooperation with Amber and the Atlas Group has become more and more in-depth in the past two years, this elf who has been "for a long time" has also gained some knowledge about human naval operations.
Although I can't command the battle yet, at least I can understand what's going on as an 'outsider'.
So she quickly guessed that the Atlas First Fleet led by Amber was likely to be the key to determining the direction of this battle.
Mina: "Yes, Lord Yuge, the War Intelligence Department has also come to the same conclusion! They believe that Mr. Amber may want to use the First Fleet's surprise attack to gain the upper hand in the battle. Advantage, but this raises a new question."
Elenita: "What problem?"
——
"Do you think that Atlas's fleet, which is still hidden now, wants to eat up the concentrated fire of our four fleets when it leaves the jump?"
The flagship of the Eighteenth Fleet' In the Galileo's combat conference room, Admiral Bonelli, who was projected by a holographic image, frowned and asked impatiently.
Beside him, there were the commanders of the other three federal fleets. In addition to Stoner, the commander of the 18th Fleet, the other two also appeared in the battle in the form of holographic projections. In the conference room.
Under the latest order of Marshal Trafalgar, Major General Stoner, who became the commander-in-chief of the 'Grand Fleet', was sitting in the main seat of the conference room looking at the three-dimensional star in the middle of the conference room. Tu remained silent.
“Based on our experience fighting in the A. Bawa Ku asteroid fortress, the opponent’s coach is definitely not someone who would make such a low-level mistake. He would never let this fleet be so big. Jumping in our faces."
The first person to speak was Commander Muller of the 24th Fleet. This rear admiral who had had brief contact with the Atlas Combat Fleet obviously did not agree with Benelli's view.
"Then tell me, how can this fleet enter the battlefield calmly after our four fleets have completed the battle?"
Benelli said, while operating the three-dimensional The star map shows his thoughts simultaneously.
“At present, the enemy’s fleet size is definitely smaller than ours, with a ratio of about 3:4. The opponent may not even reach ‘3’.
In this case, the best way for the enemy fleet command to deal with it is to concentrate all its forces and use their two 'super flagships' to try to fight us head-on, and maybe there is a chance of winning.
But now this method of dividing the troops and then planning to use this hidden fleet to launch a sneak attack is simply making it more difficult for oneself.
No matter which direction the other party wants to 'jump' from, there will only be two results after we detect the spatial fluctuations.
One is to be attacked by four fleets after leaving the jump.
The second result is that after we detect the space fluctuations, we will use the absolute strength advantage of all four fleets to crush the two fleets in front of us first."
Rear Admiral Benelli's words caused a silence in the operational conference room. Both Muller and Barak had to admit that this Rear Admiral, who looked younger than them and even somewhat 'young and energetic', was indeed telling the truth. Nothing wrong.
In the previous '2 vs. 1' situation, Atlas' super flagship may still be able to support the battle with its performance advantages.
But when the Federation's forces come to the four fleets, the improvement in its strike capability is not as simple as 2+2, but a completely exponential increase.
If the opponent's super flagship dares to rush forward and act as a human shield, the salvos of the four fleet battleships will definitely make it hateful on the spot
That's why the opponent's current 'splitting of troops' In their opinion, his actions really seemed like "digging one's own grave".
But at this moment, Major General Stoner, who had been silent, broke the silence.
"What if the opponent doesn't plan to rely on the jump to enter?"
