broken world

"What is this?" Reinhardt stared at the [-] alliance warships on the bridge screen at the cosmic orientations α[-], β[-], and γminus [-] (azimuth ①), among which the Alliance was clearly visible. The flagship of the [-]th Fleet of the US Army, Leonda, and the countless small black spots faintly visible behind the battleship - detect jammers and mines.

The previous detectors of the Imperial Army showed that there were [-] warships of the Fourth Fleet of the Allied Forces at this position, but when the Imperial Army came into close contact with this Allied Fleet at this position, only the warships appeared on the monitor screen. [-] warships, including Leonda, the flagship of the Alliance's Fourth Fleet.

"It seems that our army's detectors were fooled by the nuclear engine jammers placed by the enemy's engineering ships." Gilfies said this obvious fact, "Overly relying on instruments often makes such mistakes."

Reinhard clenched his fists angrily: "Then what is the enemy's intention?"

"Are you trying to lure us to attack?" the red-haired man asked, "or..." Just trying to delay time?Gilfies didn't say this conjecture.

The blond boy fell into deep thought, tapping the armrest of the chair with his fingers regularly, repeating several key data: "Twelve thousand ships... [-] ships... and [-] alliance fleets are near us!"

"Lord Reinhardt, for the sake of prudence, please only send part of the fleet to meet the enemy. The rest of the fleet will maintain a second-level readiness status, and at the same time send four cruisers to conduct further investigations on the surrounding star field." This is Jill so far. The safest countermeasure Faez could come up with.Still, he was uneasy.

Why is it?

Twelve minutes after the start of the battle, almost all of the [-] warships were reduced to cosmic stardust.And the Imperial Army finally realized that what they were facing was actually a battleship controlled by artificial intelligence. Reinhardt watched the fire on the bridge: "Artificial intelligence! First it was a jammer, and now it is artificial intelligence. How many tricks are you going to play?"

Gilfies received a report from the cruiser, "Master Reinhardt, the cruiser said that they did not find any traces of the Allied fleet in the nearby star field."

"Then where did they hide? Could it be possible to use the speed of light and space jump to evacuate from the battlefield?"

"No..." Gilfies quickly flipped through the interstellar map in the report, and then his eyes stopped at [-] light-seconds from the universe orientation (Azimuth ①) of α[-], β[-], and γ minus [-] On the asteroid group, a terrible conjecture gradually materialized in his heart...

"Lord Reinhardt, please immediately order the entire army to enter a combat state, because the enemy is likely to come from..."

"α 23, β 1. ○, γ negative ○. [-] universe azimuth (referred to as azimuth ②), our army found a large number of enemy ships in the left rear." The bridge communication officer reported in horror. (Note [-])

Reinhardt shouted: "Switch the image of the enemy ship to the bridge, how many are there?"

I saw the screen flickering, and countless fleets shining with dazzling neutron gun beams in the dark starry sky rushed towards the Imperial Army like meteors in the dark night.

While the communication officer was quickly counting the number of warships, Reinhardt, the commander of the Imperial Fleet, issued a command: "The right rear of the fleet, Stetin's fleet, immediately order him to adjust the bow of the ship to face the enemy immediately. Fahrenheit's troops..." Reinhardt was about to order Fahrenheit to assist Stetin in blocking the alliance.

The communications officer shouted: "2 ships! According to the results obtained by the technology department through the nuclear reaction engine, there are currently [-] enemy ships attacking our army." (Note [-])

Twenty-five thousand ships are equivalent to the combined strength of the remaining [-] ships of the Allied Fourth Fleet plus the [-] ships of the Second Fleet. What's going on?Could it be that the alliance suddenly changed its battle plan, brought the two fleets together in advance, and used the [-] fleet controlled by a small number of artificial intelligences as a bait to launch a joint attack from behind the imperial army?

Whose strategy is this?

As far as I know, the commanders of the three fleets of the Confederate Army are mediocre and mediocre!

As if in response to Reinhardt's answer, the communications officer reported again: "Your Excellency, the enemy ship sent a communication signal, do you want to receive it?"

Gilfies calmly looked at the furious Reinhardt. This was the first time Reinhardt encountered such a treacherous tactic. If he was not allowed to know who his opponent was, he would probably feel uneasy.After obtaining Reinhardt's consent, the red-haired colonel ordered: "Switch to the big screen on the bridge."

The big screen that originally broadcast the fierce battle between the two armies switched to the bridge inside the Allied Army. A woman with short black hair and bright eyes gave a standard military salute of the Allied Army, and her face was full of glory that only the goddess of victory can have. : "Everyone in the Imperial Army, I am Yang Xiaoli, the commander-in-chief directly appointed by His Excellency the President of the Free Planets Alliance. Now your army has been surrounded by the fourth and second fleets of our army. Soon after, our army's A total of [-] warships from the Sixth Fleet will join forces with our Fourth and Second Fleets. I advise you to cherish your life, give up resistance, and submit to our alliance..."

Zila, the picture is full of snowflakes.

The signal was cut off by Reinhardt's order.The Imperial Army was in a panic of being surrounded.

There was cheering on the bridge of Huberion, the flagship of the Allied Fourth Fleet. They almost saw the dawn of victory.

One person snorted coldly and said, "We actually only have [-] warships."

Yang Xiaoli turned her head to look at him, remembering that he was Warrant Officer Zhou Han, who had just graduated from the military academy and was assigned to the Fourth Fleet not long ago.He smiled and asked, "What is Zhunwei Zhou's opinion?"

Zhou Han said with a serious face: "Because in the α[-], β[-], and γ-[-] cosmic azimuths (Azimuth ①), our army has created a fourth fleet of our army by placing a large number of detection jammers. The [-] warships are actually still in the illusion of this position, so—”

Yang Xiaoli pretended to be curious and asked, "So what?"

Zhou Han: "So the enemy army will soon have doubts about the strength of our army's '23 warships', and through image analysis, they will soon conclude that our army's so-called '[-] warships' The battleship' is also an illusion created by using a large number of jammers. In this way, following this line of thinking, the enemy can easily calculate that α[-], β[-].○, γnegative[-] are now appearing in their left rear In fact, there are only [-] warships of the Fourth Fleet in the space orientation (Azimuth ②).

"And then?" Yang Xiaoli asked with a smile.

Zhou Han didn't understand why she could still laugh when it was a matter of life and death, so she continued to say: "The enemy will gather all their forces, a total of [-] warships will launch a fierce attack on our army, [-] against [-], our army will only have the entire army Destroy an ending."

The bridge was once again submerged in a silent atmosphere of death.

Yang Xiaoli's smile remained unchanged: "But in fact, my strategic goal is not to fight with [-] against [-]?"

Zhou Han was not convinced: "Then what do you want to do? Even if our army takes the initiative to launch an attack before the enemy finds our [-]-ship ambush and takes a small part of the opportunity, it is impossible for us to fight against the situation of disparity in strength. Let’s completely defeat the Imperial Army with [-] battleships.”

Yang Xiaoli curled her lips unhappily: "You still don't understand what I mean, warrant officer? Even if the Imperial Army has [-] warships, it will destroy all [-] warships of our army, and it will be too long before our army takes the lead in launching a surprise attack." In the case of preparation, conservatively estimate that it will take at least four hours."

What Yang Xiaoli didn't say was that in the real battle of Asti, Reinhardt led [-] warships to destroy all [-] warships of the Allied Fourth Fleet, which took four hours.Therefore, the most conservative estimate is that [-] warships can definitely support more than four hours if the Fourth Fleet is well prepared.

Zhou Han retorted bluntly: "Four hours? What's the point of four hours? After four hours, our army will eventually be wiped out by the imperial army."

"However, if I want to say..." Yang Xiaoli showed a sly smile, "In at most an hour, the Second Fleet led by Vice Admiral Pat will actually come here to join our army, what else do you want to say? What, Warrant Officer?"

The communications officer also confirmed what Yang Xiaoli said at the right time: "Report to Your Excellency, Commander of the Second Fleet, Lieutenant General Pat, sent a message through the cruiser, and the 45 warships of the Second Fleet will join our fleet in 23 minutes. Meet at α[-], β[-].○, and γminus ○.[-] (direction ②).”

The cheers on the bridge were louder and louder.

【Note】

Note 1: α23, β[-].○, γnegative ○.[-] cosmic azimuth (abbreviated as azimuth ②), is the Allied Forces Fourth Fleet led by Yang Xiaoli has been lying in ambush in the asteroid group for a long time, waiting for the Reinhardt Army After focusing on the [-] "unmanned fleet", the [-] warships of the Fourth Fleet rushed out of the asteroid group, and decisively circled to the left rear of the Reinhardt Army to launch a surprise attack.There is a certain distance from azimuth ①.

Note 2: It is still a "blind way" to detect jammers.This kind of jammer can only work against the detector, that is to say, it will be a matter of time before Reinhardt finds out that there are actually only [-] warships attacking the Imperial Army.
