Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

The latter influence is critical.

Planets that are the core nodes of trade circulation often do not have too many troops stationed there.

In other words, there will not be a main fleet stationed with the best equipment and the highest technological level.

This is a self-evident logic in the Star Territory. It does not mean that the Serbs have to do something special...

——Even for pre-interstellar civilizations, military ports on the surface of the planet are often not photographed next to treaty ports.

The military is a violent institution that places the greatest emphasis on secrecy and reducing the visibility of others;

Can commerce and free trade be carried out in concentration camps?

A military station that emphasizes discipline and privacy, and a free and open business center,

Then naturally you can't pee in a pot:

Next to the heavily guarded military port, there is such a large market with many people and many eyes.

If we conduct drills and tests every now and then, how much key information will be revealed in one round!

In this regard, the navy in the interstellar era has much more requirements than the navy on the surface of the planet.

And there's one more thing.

...Their home planet is not only a trade center, but also a free port.

The so-called free port does not mean no tariffs.

Rather, it means that smuggling is not allowed and customs clearance is not strictly checked.

In this situation.

It is inevitable that some people with not particularly clean identities will come in and out.

Although in theory, these black marketeers, smugglers, and even pirates who changed their skins and infiltrated,

They were all carrying a bunch of wanted warrants on their backs, and many of them could be called criminal thieves.

If you are caught, a noose, an electric chair, or a peanut are the best results.

but.

For the Entalos-II authorities, which relied on strong liquidity and reaped the dividends of foreign trade to develop into the core of the star field,

What these people bring are real benefits.

Not to mention broad things like enriching the types of goods and creating transaction demand.

Just the fact that "the opening of a free port can monopolize the black market in surrounding areas to a certain extent and thereby obtain a large amount of tariffs for black market-specific transactions" makes the authorities want to stop.

Even the deterioration of public security caused by black market transactions is tolerated as much as possible.

In this situation.

If the most elite main fleet is stationed next to the home star, everyone will feel uncomfortable:

For soldiers, maintaining order is their bounden duty;

You can't let a thief hide under everyone's nose and then prevent them from attacking him.

It's easy for senior officers to understand, but the soldiers below are really doubtful and even have their minds wavered.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you waver in your thoughts.

I'm afraid that these guys will also catch some diseases and become a family of soldiers and gangsters, which will be great fun - the Serbs only have two or three elite fleets, which can be said to be ace troops, but they don't dare to cause trouble.

And for freeports...

There are all kinds of long guns and cannons that are heavily guarded on the side, and the black marketeers will inevitably be unable to let them go.

Although these guys are rich, capable, and know how to cause trouble.

But at the end of the day, they are all shitty people who feel uncomfortable when they see a patrol.

How could he have the guts to engage in such nonsense under the nose of a heavily armed elite fleet?

...therefore.

Driven by the reluctance to give up the huge income brought by the free port,

The authorities still placed the first main fleet, which was the most capable and the most disciplined, at the Stellar Fortress.

Everyone is happy to be far away from their home star.

To put it bluntly, it means being like the light.

Everyone is familiar with this routine.

The First Fleet is stationed at the Stellar Fortress and maintains high-intensity training to ensure combat effectiveness.

The one sitting on the mother planet became the second fleet.

A second-line force composed entirely of outdated old ships.

Sound familiar?

Yes, this group of people is the same group of dead ghosts that Su Wen took care of.

They have been sitting on their home planet in the past, acting as the maintainers of order between black and white.

It is not clear whether he is colluding with various mercenary groups, pirates, black traders, and slave traders.

A few years ago, we were assigned by the authorities to draw out capable personnel to form a special task force.

Then set off for the solar system.

In the end, the group was completely wiped out by a counterattack led by Su Wen's number one lackey, the first main fleet of the empire.

And on the Serb side...

After the second fleet was transferred to carry out the exploration expedition, Entalos-II lost its naval defense force.

But the authorities didn't think there was anything wrong.

We don’t even plan to continue sending troops to the capital galaxy:

It's not that they don't have troops, it's just that they are not all deployed in the capital system.

As an interstellar civilization that can barely be considered a mid-level in terms of technological level and industrial strength,

The control area of ​​​​the Sainstakers is not small.

With the Entalus galaxy as the center, two full rings radiate outward, and some three-ring galaxies are also occupied.

There are a total of twenty-six sovereign galaxies and one disputed galaxy. Most of them have complete infrastructure construction.

This is a relatively good level in the Milky Way, at least in Orion.

At least beyond the average level of civilization at the same level.

In total, there are more than Mr. Su:

The empire now controls more star systems than the Serbs, but after all, Su Wen has just started his business for only a year. Even if the efficiency of infrastructure is hundreds of times higher than that of the Serbs, it will not be able to catch up with thousands of years of accumulation in a short time.

It's also obvious from here.

The Serbs' external defense pressure is estimated to be little less than that.

Although the most elite and most powerful First Fleet is deployed in the capital galaxy.

Equivalent to the nature of the Guards.

But the largest fleet of the National Defense Force is deployed in the second and third ring systems, stationed in various frontline fortresses, and assumes frontline defense responsibilities.

On the contrary, it is the capital system where two fleets were deployed before.

In fact, it only has the effect of 'presence of the fleet', and we are not too worried about the capital's defense issues:

——This is an idea that combines offensive defense and provides great depth, which is not much different from Su Wen.

It all relies on "controlling all the inner ring galaxies with direct hyperspace jump capabilities" to provide sufficient strategic depth.

In this way, the innermost capital galaxy naturally sits back and relaxes.

...You can now sit back and relax, and you still worry about the garrison fleet, right?

The Second Fleet left as soon as it left. They were all old and young anyway.

They are only on the sidelines to deal with people's emotions, and the authorities don't think they can provide any defense.

Just as the joint expedition set sail, all the major forces in the star field got involved, and a lot of mercenary pirates also ran away, so that after they set sail together, the trade in the past few years has been very sluggish...

In this case, the taxation of the free port black market is naturally more important to the authorities.

The Council took advantage of the situation and suspended the discussion to discuss the proposal to supplement the second 'Main Star Defense Fleet'.

It can also be considered as further appropriate relaxation of regulations to provide room for upward trade quotas...

...Then this relaxation lasted for several years.

The problem finally came up.

——When this terrifying deformed Titan fleet inexplicably jumped into the face of its home planet, the only first fleet in the capital galaxy that could fight was still damn far away from 1.5 astronomical units!

..

The long distance of more than 200 million kilometers made the First Fleet at the other end much slower to respond.

The most terrible thing among them is naturally the mysterious "anti-blocking jump ability" of the deformed Titan fleet.

should say...

Objectively speaking, this ability is possessed by the fleets of many star domain bosses.

But this is the first time that a small fish and shrimp of the Serb level has suffered such a loss.

In particular, the delivery capability of this deformed Titan fleet is really outrageous, and it also has its own shielding, so all detection equipment failed to actively detect it.

So much so that the Serbian First Fleet, after receiving the high-risk warning from their home planet, the listening station

Only then did he see the intruder through the most primitive optical means.

And after they quickly set sail,

The most serious problem has also come:

——Distance, still distance.

One point five astronomical units, more than 200 million kilometers.

Is it far?

Far.

Based on the level of human civilization on Blue Star, if we do not rely on alien technology, it is estimated that it will take the next century to be qualified to consider an expedition of this level.

As for interstellar civilization...

Compared to inter-galactic voyages that can take dozens or hundreds of light-years, this is indeed not that far away.

But if there are no means such as 'hyperspace navigation', 'curvature jump', and 'wormhole jump'.

Sailing at sub-light speed, even at ultra-high sub-light speed close to the edge of 300,000 kilometers per second, would take more than ten minutes!

At present, these invaders have torn a huge gap in the local defense network.

Dozens of defense platforms were destroyed in one encounter.

If they had waited for them to drive past slowly, they would have been waiting for someone to collect the body!

"Send the order, close the space trap and prepare for a short jump!"

The Commander of the First Fleet and the Chief of General Staff of the Home Defense Operations Department who were stationed at the Capital Star Barrier made this decision together.

"But if you close the space trap, just in case..."

The adjutant next to him looked at them in astonishment.

Qi Qi Ai Ai didn't finish her sentence before she was interrupted by the impatient commander waving his hand:

"Everyone can make anti-blocking jumps, but our space trap is still the same as nothing!

On the contrary, if it is closed, we can get there quickly and won’t have to drive for more than ten minutes! "

Well, that’s a really strong reason.

The following immediately started moving, and at the same time, the hyperspace engine heat engine was quickly arranged.

After a while.

As the energy was cut off, the space trap covering the entire galaxy slowly dissipated.

The commander of the First Fleet had no time to delay and immediately prepared to order the jump.

However...

Before he could speak.

Hundreds of ominous purple-black lights, somewhat similar to those before, suddenly lit up around the deformed Titan ships.

The commander was stunned for less than a moment.

Immediately afterwards, his expression turned extremely ugly.
