The lord of salted fish does not want to engage in construction

Fleet to fleet, even if the model of the starship is the same, it will be easy to distinguish actually, because different exterior paint styles will be adopted to distinguish the camp.

The entire fleet under Keith's command at this time has a mixed composition, but he is not too worried about this problem.This is because the starships from the Hollow Force intentionally painted the colors of the Eastern Region of the Federation Army to confuse the view.

But he has another problem to worry about.They are in the opposite direction to all the starships traveling in the star field at this time.Moreover, the deep space detection functions of each other are all out of order. Maybe when they encounter each other suddenly, both sides will face each other face to face!

Although they already have a certain advantage in the number of starships, if they really meet, the biggest problem is the problem of whereabouts exposure.

At this time their position is very close to a major high-speed waterway in the cantilever area, and the exposure risk has also come to the highest position.

"Report! The sentry has entered the air defense identification zone of Kangwen Base, and no defense force has been found!"

"Report! The navigation field of vision has locked the galaxy position of the Kangwen base, and no space cruise power has been found yet!"

"Report! No strange armed forces have been found at the end of the team! It's safe for the time being!"

A series of reports were sent to the command center, Keith listened, and ordered decisively: "Accelerate the landing process!"

"Start the login process!"

"Start the acceleration plan!"

The 33 starships quickly shrunk their queues, and increased engine power based on the latest gravity distribution.The adjustment was completed within half a minute, and the whole team was consistent, switching the travel mode with the minimum noise level, and accelerating together to approach the nearest asteroid belt.

Smoothly crossing a gravitational intersection area, the whereabouts of the entire fleet were immediately hidden in the interlaced shadows of different celestial bodies, and could no longer be seen by vision from outside the galaxy.

After going through a complicated and tortuous flight route, when the wide field of vision of Richer's Spear finally ended its fancy changes, a khaki planet was close in sight.

The familiar scenery made Keith finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's finally here!" The staff team also sighed softly, "The situation looks okay!"

Then, they encountered no more obstacles.

The communication signal was successfully docked before the landing, and the Kangwen base was confirmed to be safe and sound, and the 33 starships quickly completed the landing.

Ordinary base members who were unaware of the external situation were surprised by the sudden big battle, and the person in charge of the base also met with Keith.

"I didn't expect such a complicated situation to happen!" Lieutenant Colonel Shan Xihai, the person in charge of Kang Wen, was shocked after hearing Keith's explanation, "Then if the fleet has landed now, is it safe for the time being?"

"Yes." Keith nodded, "If it weren't for the great concealment here, we wouldn't still have hope."

"So far, the news of the disconnection has only been controlled by the decision-making level of the base, and other production activities have continued as usual without interference from external forces. I am also worried during this period, but more often... Thinking in the same direction..." Shan Xihai was surprised by the implication of that statement, "It is not a problem to complete the supply of the existing reserves, but if there is more demand, it will be difficult to say."

The two officers exchanged glances, but were speechless for a moment.

The Kangwen base is a logistics port established by the military. It is located in an area with complex terrain near the main road, and its main function is to resettle.Settle the wounded and sick second-line soldiers, resettle the failed pioneers rescued by the military from nearby areas, and interstellar refugees without federal status.In addition to resettlement, it is to play a productive role.Therefore, there are not too many combat forces stationed here.

If such a place really faces the impact of the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.

Under the current situation in the eastern region, this is a typical strategic resource point with weak combat power but many people.In particular, the main production content of the Kangwen base is military supplies.

Because of the long-term delicate relationship with the Hoshino Administration, the two sides were wary of each other, so Admiral Liu hid a part of the logistics reserve base of this nature, and only a very small number of key people knew the accurate information.

At the beginning, it was to prevent and balance the Hoshino Administration, but now it is a crooked attack.Especially with a geographical advantage like the Kangwen base, if it weren't for Keith who still remembered the complete landing route, it would be difficult to bring the entire fleet to land safely.

The Kangwen base is very important to the easy fleet.Because come here, the original reserves of the fleet will basically be exhausted.

"Colonel, it seems that half of the warships in the fleet do not belong to the Federation?" Shan Xihai came back quickly, "The people inside?"

Keith nodded solemnly.

This is the key.

Thirty-three battleships, one H33-class main ship Richer's Spear, two G-class main ships, nine F-class ships, twelve E-class ships, three D-class ships, and six transport ships, can reach the combat power of a division.But half of them were collected and compiled on the way of their escape.

When they captured Rezhe Sooh, they knew that the Yi fleet that was moving forward had a high probability of colliding head-on with the main camp of the enemy camp that Patriarch Sooh himself was sitting in.If they all arrive in the Sanjia star field as planned, the force will reach the level of at least 5 warships in 150 divisions, and there will be a steady stream of reserve forces arriving in the future.

These advancing forces in batches were headed by a regiment of King Lei Zhe's fleet, arranged in a pattern similar to "A" and approaching there.

Surrounded by enemies in front and behind, they were eager to try to convey information to the infield, and finally chose a "Z" roundabout route, successfully bypassing the enemies in three directions and cutting out the cosmic tidal range.

Unfortunately, the original goal completely failed because of Martin.They don't have time to stay in place for a long time.The location at that time was actually a key intersection for Kong Kong's follow-up force to enter the Hoshino East District. If they walked slowly, they would encounter the follow-up echelon who was about to join Seoheh's main team.

Therefore, without receiving any support, the Yi fleet, which had already consumed half of its reserve ammunition, retreated again, followed the route that the enemy had just walked back into the tidal zone, and then followed the route parallel to the high-speed channel but the situation was complicated. Under the cover of various celestial bodies, they detour away from the infield.

In order not to expose their whereabouts and fall into a tight siege, they used the powerful detection capabilities of the web weavers to avoid most of the enemies, and only in the case of unavoidable encounters, they took down the enemies with the smallest movements without leaving any traces.

In order to clear the tail, they must also advance together with the defeated enemies, and the fleet has therefore become larger and larger.

Behind what seems to be getting stronger, there is a more dangerous situation.

Now, the main commanders and key pilots of the 33 warships have all been replaced by active-duty soldiers. Only then can they really achieve such a large number of starships that can still be coordinated.

But this is also the limit.In the beginning, all the soldiers brought in from all the warships and transport ships of the Easy Fleet were used up, but they were not enough to cover all of them.Almost every battleship has to use part of the original empty crew to continue cooperative driving.If any one of them waits for an opportunity to make a small move...

And it is conceivable that going forward, such contradictions will only become more and more prominent, and the pressure of not revealing their whereabouts will also increase.

"In the fleet, the number of captives has exceeded our number, and the control level has reached a critical value." Keith did not hide from Shan Xihai, "This has become the most critical node for the fleet to rest, I need to know, what is going on here now? How many people can use it?"

Shan Xihai showed a thoughtful expression when he heard the words: "There must be more supplies, but people... To be honest, we have never organized military training systematically, and the proportion of active soldiers is far smaller than that of pioneers and aborigines. The skills are probably very unbalanced. More depends on the strategic goals. But even if they are all replaced by their own people, this number is still..."

"33 vs. 3000, it's really a gnat shaking a tree." Keith smiled wryly.

Now, they are a lone army, betrayed by all relatives.

The garrison in the Eastern District, the forces in the void, and the forces that may be drawn from other parts of the Federation in the future add up to about 3000 warships.This is directly equal to the intensity of the war that may break out at any time in the future.

Right now, as time goes by, empty strategic deployments are gradually put in place, and the federal infield's estimate of the enemy's situation is getting more and more deviated from the truth, and the gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.No one knows when an all-out war will be triggered.

When the enemy mobilizes their forces, they are still difficult to match. When the war really breaks out, the entire Hoshino East District may be unable to move an inch.

"Even if it is impossible, there is no turning back. Our current strategy is very simple, all swaps. Use the shortest time to exchange all the prisoners in the fleet with the personnel in your base, take away all supplies, materials and combat power, destroy The rest of the communications and military equipment will be used as a prison, and all the prisoners will be left here, and we will leave as soon as possible.”

Compared with the need to hide their whereabouts, their movements should be as small as possible.It would be best if the enemies he encountered could disappear silently.

But based on the consideration that more power will be needed to control the situation in the future, they must continue to try to grow.Only relying on the original batch of soldiers to operate, it is impossible to launch a fleet of 33 warships.But keep the captives for use, and these people will be the biggest constraints, and they will always need to spend time on vigilance.

This is like a mecha that requires a light body but carries a heavy load.

"Exchange all? Everyone leave, give up here?"

Shan Xihai was very surprised by this rather absolute style of action: "But outside...are you sure? Those of us..."

Shan Xihai got stuck twice. After meditating undisturbed, she wanted to say something, but she heard two alarms coming from the room—one from her subordinate who rushed into the room, and the other from Keith terminal calls.

"An unknown starship signal appeared in space, and it is approaching rapidly!"

"Reconnaissance confirms it is an enemy warship!"

"Please get ready to meet the enemy immediately!"

I just said that the geographical location here is very good, and the concealment is excellent. A series of alarms rushed in impatiently.

Shan Xihai immediately stood up and rushed to the command room next door.

The geographical location of the Kangwen base is indeed very good, but it is correspondingly more difficult to leave this base.

The most important factor why this is just a logistics base and not a garrison for the regular army is that it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. If the enemy blocks the only access, no one inside will be able to escape!

Shan Xihai rushed into the command room, and the few investigative facilities that were still in operation sent back all the information outside.

Out of the space of a small planet similar in size to the satellite port, six warships that looked very similar to the garrison in the Eastern District approached back and forth, and they were already about to pass the last turning point.At this distance, as long as they fire, they may damage the defense of the base.

Although the battleships docked by the Yi fleet have the strength to fight against them, but the whole team is currently under maintenance, and the forced launch will not only damage the combat power, but also attract enemies from farther away.

Shan Xihai's spirit tensed instantly: "All the guards are ready!"

"Wait! It might not be the enemy!" Keith followed her to the command room, and when he looked up, he saw the battleship outside as if he was going home.

"What? What is not an enemy?"

"Look, the routes of these battleships are completely correct. If they didn't know the routes, how could they rush here without sending any sentries?" Keith also ignored the issue of interfering with the command of the garrison officers, and raised his voice to stop them again. The base is preparing to issue an expulsion signal, "Look at the communication, is there any communication signal?"

"But where did the others come from?" Shan Xihai was confused, "What if—"

"There is no chance!" Keith stared at the screen, and he soon discovered the special signal that was constantly flashing on the incoming warship, "It's the friendly army. Didn't you notice that Rongdi from the easy base is not with us?"

"Jondi? Do you have another team out there?"

"No, he only has three mechas and one D4 battleship." Keith shook his head decisively, "We split into two groups a few hours ago, and we rushed here directly. They are responsible for flank escort and alert the enemy's whereabouts. .”

Shan Xihai was even more confused when he heard this: "Then these are clearly six warships, Colonel, this..."

"There was only one battleship when we went out, and now the extra ones should be prisoners." Keith replied quickly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what he said, "It seems that there are indeed enemies on the main road."

Shan Xihai's eyes widened, "A warship captured five warships?"

Just as he was talking, the communication signal was finally successfully connected due to the rapidly shortening distance, and Rong Di, who was sitting in the cockpit of the mecha, appeared in the video call.Turning his gaze, he immediately locked on to Keith behind the command room: "Hey, I got the information you wanted back."
