Chapter 562, Alfonzo’s Ark Fleet
"Paulitos is a capable man." Gu Hang said with emotion.
At this moment, he was chatting with his wife Yelicia.
The relationship between the two of them as husband and wife is naturally very different from that of normal people.
The two of them spent less time together and more time apart, and spent very little time together over the course of a year.
Gu Hang was very busy, and so was Ye Lixia.
But despite this, the relationship between the two has not been affected by this.
Their combination is not driven by emotion, but by an inseparable combination of interests.
The two of them originally had some appreciation for each other and did not resist being with each other.
But feelings can also be cultivated. Especially after the goals and ambitions are consistent, and many aspects are strongly bound together, the emotions become more stable.
Especially after the alliance that Gu Hang completely controlled became more and more powerful, and he actually became the most powerful person in the entire Eastern Universe, it was impossible for Yelicia to be separated from Gu Hang.
At the same time, as an admiral, Yelicia is also helping Gu Hang to better control the naval power, which is crucial for a space force, and Gu Hang cannot live without her.
Then the relationship can't be bad.
Because of political interests, the relationship is stable; conversely, the same is true, because the relationship is stable, the interests are stable.
The two may have been separated in the beginning, but now, they are more and more entangled.
Or to put it another way, if the relationship is not good, Gu Hang will never be able to leave the important navy to Ye Lixia's control.
As high-level figures in the human empire society, the two of them had previously considered creating a human being together and leaving a bloodline.
But on the one hand, I am busy, and on the other hand, my time is not bad.
Although, both of them are almost fifty years old. However, with the advanced human technology, Ye Lixia, who had already undergone life-extending surgery, has a lifespan of at least hundreds of years and remains youthful forever; while Gu Hang, on the other hand, has not undergone surgery and only became the Raging Owl Star that year. After becoming the governor, to now, nearly thirty years later, his face has hardly changed at all.
Even though he is fifty years old, he still looks like a young man.
The power of psychic energy plays a big role in it. High-level psychics will not actually extend their lifespan, but will have their lives shortened due to the erosion of their bodies by this supernatural power.
But with the help of the system, Gu Hang can fully master psychic powers.
That's a different concept.
It's true that his current life form is still that of a mortal, but how similar his 'life essence' is to that of a normal person... it's hard to say.
Both of them can be regarded as immortals. A life course of fifty or sixty years has reached the end of life for ordinary people, but for them, a long life has only taken a few steps forward.
The concepts of life are very different, and the concepts of future generations will also be different.
Right now, it's a lull in the war. It was at this time that they had time to get together and communicate with each other.
What is communicated is not important, the main thing is the communication itself.
The main force of the Alliance fleet, which had ended the Battle of Heyang, arrived at Bowang Star at a not too fast speed and in silence.
There is not much to say about the planet itself. It is an ordinary world with level 1 development, a population of five to six billion, and the level of technological development in the electrical age. There are no special resources, and it is not on any major transportation route. The defense capabilities of the planet's orbit are very average.
They even lack the means to observe deep space conditions.
There is only one reason why the main force of the alliance is here: According to the news from the front, the Raging Flame Fleet is taking a star road that will pass by Bowang, heading for Wu Qi Star.
It should be noted that Bowang Star is by no means the only way to get to Wuqi Star. It can only be regarded as one of the options, and it takes a long way around. And the reason why the Raging Flame Fleet chose this path was, of course, not of their own free will. They wished they could get to Wuqi Star as soon as possible and use the complete defense system that the planet had as an important passage connecting the two star regions to hold out until the arrival of Alfonzo's fleet. This would be much safer.
The reason for this was purely because he was forced by the blood shark.
The Bowang galaxy was the slaughterhouse prepared by Gu Hang for them.
While waiting for the sheep to arrive, he was relatively free, and Gu Hang had time to have a rare communication with his wife.
It was inevitable to talk about the target to be slaughtered next, and about Paulitos, the new leader of the Raging Flame Chapter.
Gu Hang once again repeated his evaluation of Paulitos: "Paulitos is a capable person."
"Is he capable? Is he capable of being tormented like this by you? You don't seem to take him seriously at all. Even if the war is destined to happen here on Bowang Star, you actually don't care. It's not important at all, it's just your plan Part of it...you don’t take him seriously, or even regard him as an opponent, but you say he is quite capable?”
"It's not a conflict." Gu Hang waved his hand and said with a smile, "He did everything right, every choice, of course he must be praised."
"You did everything right, and ended up in the current situation?"
"Yes." Gu Hang sighed, "This is the difference between the strength of the two sides. It is impossible for him to compete with us in any previous battlefield. Defend to the upper east and Guangfeng? Defend to Mentus II and Aoya. Xing, Heyang VIII? His winning rate will not exceed 30%, and that’s without counting me.”
"As long as he loses, he will lose everything."
"And he made the right choice every time. Objectively speaking, as the weaker side, his strategic thinking of 'existing the fleet' is correct. As long as his fleet exists, we have to find ways to defend against it." It deploys military power to weaken our ability to control the entire Proud Star Territory and the speed of attack. He has done this, and the trouble it has caused us is actually far greater than if he fought a decisive battle and then lost it. degree.”
"He also successfully split our fleet, so that we had to deploy three battle cruisers in the rear to defend against them. Then, he used the Flying Wing, the Furious Owl, and the Koroga as prey. He was also a A smart choice. Tactically, he successfully completed the ambush and almost defeated our precious battle patrol.”
"Being able to achieve this level is enough for me to appreciate him. He lost because of the information gap. The Blood Shark Chapter... is very special. Even I am a little surprised by their elusive ability. . Without getting the blood shark’s information in advance, he certainly couldn’t make the right decision.”
At this point, Gu Hang added: "I think he is more powerful and more difficult to deal with than his predecessor, the former leader of the Raging Flame named Erso."
Yelicia smiled and said: "But he still lost. Are you praising your opponent to prove that you are better?"
"That's not true. I'm just making an objective evaluation." Gu Hang said, "Of course, he can do better."
"For example? What would you do if you were in his place?" Yelicia asked curiously. "If possible, I will continue to implement the retreat strategy, not only giving up the Proud Claw, but also giving up the Nepeta Star Territory. The alliance's power, rapid expansion and control of a star territory is already the limit. If you dare to pursue the Nepeta Star Territory, then the alliance will be torn apart later. The opportunity becomes greater.”
"But there may be political factors, so he can't do it?" Yelicia pointed out this point, "The military can never be independent of politics. Just like us, launching an active attack at the current time is not necessarily a big deal. Good choice.”
"Yes, every commander would like to simply think about how to defeat the enemy, but that is often not realistic."
"What if you can't retreat? What will you do?"
"Decisive battle." Gu Hang said.
Yelicia said in surprise: "Don't you think that retreating is the best choice? The winning rate in the decisive battle is not more than 30%."
Gu Hang thought for a while and said: "As a disadvantaged party, if you want to reverse your disadvantage and create a miracle, you have to walk a difficult road, and then find and do something in the difficulty to turn the impossible into possible. ”
Yelicia stared at Gu Hang's face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing, I just feel... when others say this, it seems like they are bragging, but when you say it, it seems a bit unreasonable."
"Haha!"
……
A Terran Standard month passed quickly.
Alfonzo's Ark fleet arrived in the Proud Claw Star Territory.
This is news that shocks everyone.
The entire Proud Claw Star Territory became anxious and uneasy.
The world that has already turned to the Alliance is worried that the arrival of Alfonzo's Ark Fleet will bring liquidation; the world that has not yet turned to the Alliance is rejoicing.
This news, which marked the end of Alfonzo's sect's formal participation in the war, even quickly reached Holy Terra.
Paying close attention to the huge civil war in the Eastern Frontier of the Empire that involves several space domains and more than 20,000 Space Marines touches the heartstrings of the gentlemen on Holy Terra.
Although most people can realize that the Alfonzo sect is definitely the enemy and should not have any illusions about them.
But after all, they have never officially participated in the war, and everyone seems to be able to be the ostrich with their heads buried in the soil.
But now, this illusion has been completely exposed, and the panic that should not have been there will still spread.
Especially after further information came in, they were even more stunned when they saw the specific strength of the Alfonzo Ark fleet.
Two Retribution-class battleships, one Zhuge-class aircraft carrier, and nine Dragon-Snake-class battlecruisers... This is already a very powerful configuration. The combined naval power of the empire in a regular space domain is not so strong.
Moreover, these can only be regarded as conventional ships.
Among this Ark fleet, there are two warships that make people tremble when they hear them.
One is the Mechanical Ark itself. According to the intelligence coming from the front line, it was no ordinary Mechanical Ark. After all, although the Ark of the Mechanicus is powerful in combat, it is mainly used as a base for the Mechanicus during space navigation. It also integrates a large number of production, industry, scientific research and other functions, which is equivalent to a Mechanicum that can move freely in space. Forge World.
However, this ark can be called a 'war ark', and it is an ark ship specialized for war. Its combat effectiveness must be above that of a normal battleship.
The Alfonzo sect is quite wealthy, and the configuration of the war ark they built is probably so high that it makes people tremble.
The other warship is also a battleship.
Emperor class battleship.
This is the most powerful battleship model among the human empire.
If the Retribution class is the mass-produced and standard version of the battleship, then the Emperor class is the luxury and flagship version of the battleship.
Its cost is more than three times that of the Retribution level.
The cost and construction period are still on the one hand, but the rare and difficult technology is the more important factor in its scarcity.
And its combat power is worthy of its price and rarity.
Such a fleet configuration that is extremely powerful in terms of scale and top-notch ships, placed on the northern and western fronts, is a heavy weight that can change the situation.
What's more, the power held by the alliance on the southern front is actually weaker than that on the northern and western fronts.
Now the public opinion has changed instantly.
There were many voices in Holy Terra asking why the alliance didn't speed up its action, why it didn't quickly destroy the Raging Flame Fleet, why it didn't push the front to the deeper areas of the Iron Armor Chapter earlier, and cause them more damage. big threat.
Now, some voices are starting to come out, asking why the alliance is so aggressive, why it wants to mess with the Alfonzo sect, and why it doesn't guard it properly, as long as it ensures that the south does not collapse.
Now let's fight and provoke Alfonzo... Now, if the main force of the alliance is sent, not to mention the Proud Claw Star Territory that was eaten will be sent back, I am afraid that Alfonzo's Ark Fleet will take this force with it all the way. Go south and penetrate the Eastern Universe.
The most optimistic people do not believe that the Alliance is a rival to such a fleet.
The Alliance hasn't even destroyed the Raging Flame Fleet yet!
The news is terrible.
