too late, organism

And the large-scale Iron Alliance United Fleet started a large-scale military exercise code-named [Joint Offensive] near New Constantinople.

Although the code name of the exercise is Joint Offensive, it is actually a mixed operation of the fleets of the four member states of the Iron Alliance. Apart from the inability to use live ammunition attacks and collision tactics, the only rule is that the winner is the one who stands at the end.

So the three militaristic countries, and a country that is shouting "Remember Magellan No. 7!" Revanchism is on the rise, began to test each other's abilities in this exercise.

The first thing to do is to find out who is the most capable one in this military alliance.

171 Nothing Happened Just Now

The first joint offensive operation exercise ended with the victory of the United Nations of Earth. After all, the United Nations of Earth has invested the most military force among the coalition forces, and the level of technology is also the strongest.

So in the first exercise, basically what the United Nations of Earth did was just push flat, and it won.

In the Joint Staff of the Iron and Steel Alliance after the exercise, looking at the proud faces of the United Nations officers on Earth, several other alliance countries silently sent messages to their fleet commanders, so that they would not have to think about the impact. You have to play nicely.

After all, except for the Holy Roman Empire, which has released all its tonnage, the other two franchise countries are almost fighting with one hand tied.

For example, the female auxiliary fleet sent by the Arbitration Kingdom of Kolo. In the combat system of the Arbitration Kingdom of Kolo, the task of these female auxiliary fleets is usually to become an indestructible anvil on the battlefield, and cooperate with the main fleet to smash the enemy to pieces.

So when the commander of this female fleet habitually spread out its formation and prepared to fight attrition and stagnation, the main fleet of the United Nations of the Earth relied on the Titan to open the way and ruthlessly crushed it with overwhelming force.

This made the commander of the Kolo fleet with black and white hair very upset, and began to think about how to do things.

Also unhappy is the commander of the Human Federation Task Force, as a veteran of the Human Federation, and a task force formed by a large number of warships with the title of Guards. If this fleet is not temporarily organized, basically as long as it has experienced one battle Can be mixed with the title of Guards Fleet.

But it is such a fleet, although it perfectly suppressed the guerrilla fleet of the Earth United Nations in the outpost, but in the battle of the main fleet, the Earth United Fleet composed of Titan ships reproduced the last time it fought against the Sedarik Titans. The tragic situation of the fleet battle was an extremely ugly exchange ratio by the United Nations of the Earth.

Let the commander of the task force, who felt wronged, call the Ministry of the Navy to send Titan support as soon as the exercise ended.

Because after the Human Federation divided the Sedaric Federation with the Holy Roman Empire, it not only obtained the large docks of Sedarik, but also obtained many Sedaric scientists, which made the people who were already stuck on the edge of Titan's construction technology The Human Federation passed that threshold and successfully built the Human Federation's first Titan Champion-class Titan No. [-] Ship Champion.

However, the Human Federation, which is responsible for the loss of supplies and more experienced veterans, has no plans to send the Titans out in this battle.

The Human Federation General Staff is going to let this Titan, and other recruits with eggshells on their buttocks, first experience the following battlefield atmosphere before engaging in high-intensity battles. There is a In the galaxy, there are a large number of habitats that look like crystal-like space creatures, which can be used as a training ground for those recruits.

Therefore, the Navy Department and the General Staff Department of the Human Federation rejected the application of the Commander of the Task Force without hesitation, and asked him to find a way to get his face back, instead of being wronged like a child and going home to find his mother.

The commander of the task force, who failed to apply for support and was trained again, began to gnash his teeth and hold back the water in the bridge.

Only the fleet of the Holy Roman Empire, although lost, is still a peaceful scene.

It's not that Warmaster Lao Qian and Lieutenant General Iron Arm have no temper, but that during this attack, Cotton, who had been promoted to the Governor of the Empire's Core Sector and Prime Minister of the Empire, was uncharacteristically not letting Lao Qian promise to bring the fleet back as complete as possible. .

Instead, let the old money take the fleet casually, as long as the last memory backup of the entire fleet's officers and soldiers can be brought back to the empire, it will be a victory.

After dividing up the resource producing areas of the Sedarik Federation, Cotton felt for the first time that he could be so rich. Instead of planning the use of resources gram by gram, he could boldly carry out large-scale construction on the colony. What do you want? It's done.

Even in the past, at least [-]% of the naval budget had to be cut with a sharp axe, and this time it can be paid in full.

So this time Cotton is not worried about the Holy Roman Empire Navy at all, and continues to follow their previous traditions, because they lost too much tonnage at one time, and he has to start tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and forcefully squeeze resources to restore the size of the fleet.

On the contrary, this time Cotton just expected that Lao Qian would continue to carry forward his fine traditions, and completely lose those warships that did not conform to the navy's plan and used hyperspace engines, so that he could come back and directly receive those cutting-edge warships that replaced the curvature engines.

After all, the newly built ships of the navy occupy the dock completely, and there is no room to dismantle these former sweets. If they are completely lost on the battlefield, they will be used as waste heat.

Especially in the last rebellion war, the old money let the Cadia fortress explode and destroy the rebellious main fleet. As a result, in the subsequent battles, the fleet of the Holy Roman Empire basically suffered no losses.

This made Cotton, who had to pay maintenance fees for these outdated gadgets after the Navy revised its equipment plan, very upset.

So the Holy Roman Empire fleet with the mentality that we are here to damage the ship, after being sealed their best ramming tactics, basically has a pure expression of "I'm here to watch the big guy's performance".

This atmosphere continued until the second joint offensive exercise began.

Then, as the supreme commander of the Holy Roman Empire Navy, Lao Qian really saw the world that really belonged to the boss.

The Kolo Arbitration Fleet and the Human Federation Task Force, holding their breath, demonstrated to Lao Qian at the beginning of the exercise what it means to play tactics with a heart.

After the start of the exercise, the Human Federation Task Force headed straight for the fleet of the Arbitration Kingdom of Kolo, assuming that they wanted to kill the fleet of the Arbitration Kingdom of Kolo to save their capital. .

Just when the fleet of the United Nations on Earth, in order not to miss the opportunity of the river clam battle, separated a part of the fleet to guard against the Holy Roman Empire fleet, which was watching the battle, and let the main fleet headed by the Titan formation jump into that galaxy to take advantage of it. .

As soon as the jump was completed, the United Nations fleet on Earth received a message from the main committee of the exercise, informing them that they had suffered a surprise attack and lost three battleships.

At this time, the fleet of the United Nations of the Earth discovered that the carrier-based aircraft formations of the Human Federation were lining up in an F-shape and a U-shape at other times, escaping at the speed of light from the vicinity of the asteroid belt where they ended their transition.

And the Human Federation Fleet and the Colo Arbitration Fleet, which were fighting to the death just now, separated and prepared to evacuate the galaxy as if nothing had happened just now.

Episode 172 Episode 161

When some people stop talking about martial arts, everyone will gradually start to let go of the bottom line. In sociology, this is called the broken window effect. In the humanities field, it is called moral decline. But in the military field, it is called the development of new military technology.

In joint offensive exercises, this moral slippage, or the tendency toward military technological development, accelerates and accelerates like a car slamming on the accelerator on a downhill road.

Just when the scary upright ape and the big cats were showing off their limits, the new Fortress of Constantinople under construction welcomed an unexpected visitor.

The Star Sea Empire lost a lot and gained a lot in the long war with the terrestrial civilization on the mother star for the dominance of the mother star. One of them was to send a small group of armed fleets to attack the unowned areas outside its own territory. habit of inspection.

These small armed fleets composed of frigates and destroyers will conduct irregular random voyages outside the territory of the Star Sea Empire to ensure that there will be no potential threats around the empire, and to allow those alien aliens to discover the location of the empire.

This can be seen from the fact that their scientific research ships are also habitually equipped with weapons of mass destruction. A very important part of the navigation missions of these armed patrol fleets and scientific research ships is to perform the so-called preventive strike mission.

In addition to confirming harmless space creatures such as void whales, the targets of these fleets' preventive strikes include alien indigenous civilizations and all unknown space facilities that have appeared around the empire's territory.

Any starships that might be discovered where the empire's territory is located will be attacked, and those indigenous civilizations that may send signals into space, causing alien aliens to approach the empire, will not hesitate to destroy them.

The neutrino bomb carried on the scientific research ship of the Star Sea Empire is a weapon specially responsible for making those indigenous civilizations learn to shut up.

The scientific research ships of the Starfish Empire almost never failed to eliminate those indigenous civilizations. They only made a mistake when facing the terrestrial quadruped alien, but presumably after cleaning up an alien colony, those aliens should also learn Fear the authority of the empire.

So when the armed patrol fleet passed through the wormhole and saw a large-scale star fortress group that was nearly completed, the hearts of the five starfish ships collapsed, and even the fleet commander asked whether the navigator was traveling through the wormhole. What happened to the wormhole.

After all, traveling at the speed of light between galaxies is not like rowing a boat in the ditch at the door of the house. Although the probability is not high, every year there will always be some unlucky people who find themselves in a strange star field after completing the hyperspace flight. To one in ten million, but this probability still exists.

Just when the armed patrols of the Star Sea Empire panicked and thought they had encountered a rare super-beam navigation accident, the Iron Alliance troops and engineering teams near New Constantinople were also frightened by the sudden arrival of the Star Sea Empire armed patrols. Not light.

After reading the shipboard computer data of the earth's United Nations battleship sunk in the Magellanic system, the Iron Alliance added the identification mark of the Star Sea Empire to the target identification library of all starships and space structures, and added the threat level of this mark to The markers are black on top of the hostile red markers.

The black identification mark represents that the Iron Alliance will not accept any negotiation requests from these hostile units, and will not accept their surrender applications at the same time. The only kindness that will be given to them is quick and ruthless destruction.

When the monitoring radar confirmed that the identification marks of these strange units that suddenly appeared through the wormhole were black, the highest level of battle alarm was sounded in the entire fortress group, and all the weapon systems that had been built immediately locked on the five ships. Debating whether to send out a communication that they are lost ships, or to immediately perform an emergency hyperspace voyage to evacuate the galaxy.

Then this fleet composed of five light battleships no longer has to hesitate about this question. The armed space station that has been completed in advance covered the five Star Sea Empire light battleships with their firepower enough to severely damage a battle fleet. Within 0.1 second, the five warships were restored to their molecular state.

After the emergency suspension of the exercise, he arrived in Constantinople as if facing a big enemy, preparing to use his own flesh and blood to resist the first wave of the Star Sea Empire's offensive, and for the completion of the fortress group and the follow-up fleet to gather time for the joint fleet to arrive in Constantine after the fort.

Nothing happened for two full days, but the General Staff of the Iron and Steel Alliance immediately began emergency mobilization after judging the appearance of the five Star Sea Empire patrol ships as the prelude to the Star Sea Empire's large-scale invasion.

Although they were planning to launch an attack on the Star Sea Empire before, that was after the fortress group was completed, the joint fleet completed the exercise and found out the way of joint operations.

But now a large amount of the materials arriving at the front line are engineering materials for the construction of the fortress. Those military supplies that are going to be used for a large-scale offensive are still stranded in the rear warehouse due to limited transportation capacity and the unfinished construction of the fortress.

Although the fleet gained some new ways of playing in the exercise, it is probably still a short distance from the Ottomans to the Eastern Roman Empire from the establishment of the joint combat system.

Although not in line with expectations, it is not that the horror of the erect apes has not been in a war without complete preparations. Starting a full-scale war a few years in advance is common in the history of the horror of the erect apes.

Therefore, when the emergency mobilization order was issued, a large number of civilian transport ships were dispatched urgently. After directly discarding the goods they originally transported in space, they directly loaded the materials waiting to be transported in the star port and rushed to New Constant. dingbo.

The staff of the fleet staff and the general staff also began to drink coffee like drinking water, and began to make fine-tuning on the basis of the previously prepared battle plan.

After the United Fleet conducted an emergency replenishment, the General Staff also issued a new combat plan to the United Fleet.

Combat Code【Uranus】

It is planned to use all the fleets except the female auxiliary fleet of the Arbitration Kingdom of Kolo to launch a strong attack on the Star Sea Empire, and before the Star Sea Empire's large-scale offensive fleet crosses the wormhole, the war will be burned to the Star Sea Empire's territory.

The task force of the Human Federation, the main fleet of the United Nations of the Earth and most of the fleet of the Holy Roman Empire will undertake the main combat tasks and hold back the main fleet of the Star Sea Empire before the completion of the new Constantinople fortress system. , preventing them from crossing the wormhole and interfering with the arrangement of the fortress group.

As a fleet destined to gnaw hard bones, this fleet is supported by the medical fleet of the SCP Foundation, and all medical ships of the SCP Foundation will accompany them in combat.

And the fleet of the Holy Roman Empire will be divided into two. After those warships using hyperspace engines accompany the main force of the joint fleet to fight, let the remaining warships using curvature engines perform their best tasks. The fire burned to those hinterlands protected by heavy fortresses, and tried their best to destroy the war potential of the Star Sea Empire.

The female auxiliary fleet of the Kolo Arbitration Kingdom was left in the New Constantinople Fortress Group, ready to support the main fleet at any time as a general reserve, or cooperate with the fortress group to destroy the Star Sea Empire fleets that passed through the wormhole.

In the slogan "For Magellan VII!", the largest fleet in human history so far began to pass through the wormhole, preparing to use steel and flesh to interrupt the upcoming large-scale offensive.

173 Their land

After the United Fleet passed through the wormhole, the frigate formation driven by several of the most experienced veterans in the United Fleet broke away from the United Fleet and began to follow the channel explored by the scout ship last time, and began to scout this unknown land. The star map, while the main force of the United Fleet went straight to the galaxy occupied by the Star Sea Empire discovered by the last reconnaissance ship.

In the war philosophy of the terrifying Homo erectus, the best way to prevent yourself from being attacked is to maim or annihilate the hostile forces before you are declared war.

Therefore, the Horror Upright Ape has countless skill points on this skill tree, from the beginning of preventive war all the way to the end of all wars. The intervention of the nuclear bomb that owed them a peace prize, and the theoretical point of nuclear binding and the ability to ensure mutual destruction, the terrifying erectus apes can do countless tricks just by staying on their home planet.

Therefore, after sending out the scouting fleet, the main force of the United Fleet did not hesitate to go to the galaxy occupied by the Star Sea Empire discovered by the scouting ship sent last time.

Although there is basically zero information about the empire at present, the staff of the Iron and Steel Alliance believe that as long as an attack is launched, the fleet that the Star Sea Empire is going to use to launch the attack must be used to deal with the main fleet of the Iron and Steel Alliance, not according to their plan. The original plan was to launch an attack, thus disrupting the rhythm of their attack.

However, it is not ready to launch the large-scale attack that the Iron Alliance imagined, and there is not even the Star Sea Empire that wants to carry out large-scale military operations, and it has not deployed troops in the border galaxy other than the military police used to deter some unscrupulous businessmen.

And those troops who read as military police and write as armed police are at best equipped with retired military frigates and warships with their main guns removed. After all, the mission of the military police is to investigate and deal with smuggling and tax evasion, and at best they can deal with hot-blooded fools. individual light weapons.

If any unscrupulous and unscrupulous businessman dared to put heavy weapons on the smuggling boat, then it would not be the gendarmerie, but the imperial regular army that could blow up the entire family of any unscrupulous businessman.

So when the combined fleet of the Iron Alliance broke into the border of the Star Sea Empire, they only encountered a little symbolic resistance. While the two old-fashioned frigates of the Gendarmerie fired at the combined fleet with a point defense system, they tried to collide with the sacred ship that was the forward of the combined fleet. Roman Empire Pocket Battleship Formation.

Then, under the attack of the main guns of the pocket battleship, the two frigates turned into a piece of gradually icy wreckage.

After the sinking of the two brave frigates of the Gendarmerie, the Combined Fleet met no resistance in the system.

And the pocket battleship formation of the Holy Roman Empire, which was the vanguard of the combined fleet, also fulfilled their task as the vanguard of the fleet very well.

Just like what the Romans did to Carthage, they mercilessly destroyed all the space buildings of the Star Sea Empire in this galaxy, and destroyed the escape capsules with space stations and the shuttles trying to escape from this galaxy .

Only a few dozen "lucky ones" were trying to obtain the star map information of this alien empire from their navigation computers, and the marines who launched the attack on armed shuttles captured it, but these "lucky ones" were only lucky enough They lasted until the main body of the combined fleet arrived.

When the main force of the United Fleet arrived, these captured giant starfish were handed over to the intelligence agencies of the countries that joined the fleet.

Those intelligence personnel who are even more familiar with the physical limits of carbon-based creatures than doctors will be responsible for obtaining everything the United Fleet wants to know from these alien creatures.

After handing over the dozens of lucky starfish, the pocket battleship formation of the Holy Roman Empire, the vanguard of the joint fleet, continued to advance to the hinterland of the Starsea Empire. Anyway, they had nothing but destruction of the starfish empire Just know nothing.

Therefore, before the intelligence personnel obtained enough information from these starfishes and completed the deciphering of several Star Sea Empire navigation computers obtained by the marines, the actions of the United Fleet were purely based on old-fashioned intuition.

And after signing a contract with the pioneer's echo and being fed with a processor's psychic power, he was originally the little prince of punctuation when he was chasing chickens, and he was able to lead a group of dogs straight to the decisive circle without firing a single shot. Qian even walked out of an offensive route like a post-modern abstract art, bypassing all the interdiction fleets temporarily assembled by the Star Sea Empire all the way, and going straight into the hinterland of the Star Sea Empire.

Along the way, the United Fleet destroyed all the space structures of the Star Sea Empire they found, and destroyed all the escape pods and shuttles. When passing through a planet colonized by the Star Sea Empire on an offensive route, the pocket battleship formation of the Holy Roman Empire will first colonize the planet. The space facilities in orbit were directly pushed into the gravitational circle of the colonized planet, causing those space facilities to fall to the surface of the planet.

Then the main fleet of the United Fleet, which arrived later, fired a salvo of main guns at the colony in orbit to melt the glaciers at the two poles of the colonial planet, and at the same time fired a round of earthquake bombs at the colonial planet.

When the United Fleet left this galaxy, the Star Sea Empire lost nearly half of the population on this colonial planet due to violent geological activities.

And at this time, after obtaining enough data samples, the intelligence personnel in the United Fleet almost figured out the locations of the important industrial galaxies of the Star Sea Empire.

After all, under the raid, although the port staff and navigators had time to delete the navigation information and star map data, they only needed to check the public information such as shipping documents to know which area could provide the most industrial output.

Haven't encountered the combined fleet planned to be used by the Star Sea Empire to launch a large-scale offensive fleet to intercept them. After obtaining the locations of several galaxy locations that may be important industrial areas from those intelligence personnel, they began to attack them without hesitation. A galaxy ahead.

In the view of the staff of the United Fleet, the main fleet that the evil empire is about to launch an attack on the Road-Railway Alliance has not yet appeared near the United Fleet, either because the United Fleet has not hurt them yet, and they are worried about what is happening in the hinterland. The losses suffered were too severe to give up the attack plan, and instead came to attack the combined fleet that broke into the country.

Or, the ruler of this country is cold-blooded enough to sit back and watch his empire turn into scorched earth and destroy the Iron Alliance.

Regardless of the possibility, the combined fleet must continue to attack until that fleet appears.

174 163 Their people

"There must be a traitor among us!"

In the Defense Department of the Star Sea Empire, the Minister of Defense of the Star Sea Empire, an orange-red starfish with black tentacles, is roaring in the highest command room of the Star Sea Empire.

"Seven fleets! A whole seven fleets! Even if I put a coral polyp in command, I won't let them run away!"

Although the raid launched by the Iron Alliance caught the Star Sea Empire by surprise, due to the lack of intelligence, the Iron Alliance's main fleet was unable to cause truly irreparable losses to the Star Sea Empire.

None of the fleet's anchorages or important industrial bases were raided by that fleet, but currently more than four colonial planets have been attacked, and the direct casualties alone have exceeded 15 billion people, and there are even several times more than that. Refugees are waiting for rescue from the government.

And the navy of the Star Sea Empire is not just doing nothing, allowing this fleet to wreak havoc within the empire.

In the second hour after that fleet broke into the territory of the empire, the navy of the Star Sea Empire sounded the combat alarm and began to mobilize the navy to prepare for battle.

It’s just that the Navy of the Star Sea Empire, which had never expected a war in the near future, was still in a three-point rotation state in peacetime before the war broke out, that is, a fleet patrolled the empire’s territory, and a fleet was on duty in the home port. , another fleet is maintained in the dock.

Although the Star Sea Empire has a naval tonnage that is superior to that of the entire Iron and Steel Alliance, the Star Sea Empire occupies a third of the territory of the cantilever, which seriously delays the Star Sea Empire's fleet assembly speed.
