Volume III: Scarlet 699 Reorganized

"Our plan worked...... Right?"

Addison looked at the battle damage report presented by the correspondent with a strange expression, he didn't expect the plan he provided to be so successful, but ...... After all, this sacrifice is still a little bigger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Addison, what is your expression? Is our fleet so badly damaged? Look at your eyebrows are almost in a single word. ”

Stevi hadn't read the battle damage report yet, so he naturally didn't know Addison's mood at this time, but despite this, Stevi still saw through Addison's strange expression at this time that the losses caused by the Zaft fleet's offensive to his side were probably a bit beyond Addison's expectations, otherwise he would not have shown this expression.

"This ...... The losses were indeed somewhat large, but they were all destroyer-class and frigate-class, the cruiser-class did not suffer any losses, and the most seriously injured Nemolins-class cruisers were only lightly damaged, which had no effect on the ensuing battle at all. ”

Addison's handsome face was still very strange as he explained on the side, especially his eyebrows, which were almost twisted into a word, which made Stevi feel that his words were a little insincere.

"Show me the battle damage report. ”

Stevi doesn't plan to waste any more time, because at this time, the distance between the Zaft fleet and the United First Space Fleet is getting closer and closer, although the Zaft fleet is unlikely to cool down in an instant because the main cannon has just been launched, but Stevi is not a character who will not fight back after being beaten, although he is not angry now, but the sadness and anger surging in his heart still make him want to kill all the Zaft fleet immediately.

Seeing Addison hand over the battle damage report with both hands, Stevi nodded to him, and then took the battle damage report with his thick hands, he lowered his head, glanced left and right, and read the battle damage report.

"The loss of eight Bannis-class destroyers, eleven Deshasyu-class frigates, Nemolins-class cruisers, Nikosius-class battleships was almost undamaged......"

Silently summed up the battle damage report in his heart, Stevi groaned for a while, and his mellow face showed a surprised expression.

"No wonder you have such a strange expression, the loss of our basic battleship is indeed a bit large......"

Stervi pinched the battle damage report with the index finger and thumb of his left hand, while his right hand caressed his slightly fat and somewhat scummy chin, and his otherwise serious expression softened into a thoughtful expression.

At this time, the number of battleships of the Combined First Space Fleet was sharply reduced by a third after experiencing two salvos of the main guns of the Zaft fleet.

The Akaron-class carrier-based aircraft carriers and Nikosius-class battleships did not suffer any losses in these two offensives, but the Nemolins-class cruisers, which are mid-to-high-end combat power, lost two ships in the first wave of the ZAFT fleet's offensive, and in the second wave of the ZAFT fleet's offensive, perhaps because of Addison's proper strategy, the most traumatic was only the armor that was slightly concave, which did not affect the next battle.

In the first wave of the ZAFT fleet's offensive, the Bannis-class destroyers lost six ships, and in the second wave of the ZAFT offensive, it lost another six; it reduced from the original huge amount of 20 ships to only 8 ships, and the amount of losses was nearly two-thirds of the original amount, which is not an exaggeration to describe as heavy losses.

The type of ship with the greatest losses was undoubtedly the frigate as 'cannon fodder', although it lost only five ships in the first wave of the ZAFT fleet's offensive, which was the smallest relative to other ships in the first wave of the ZAFT fleet's offensive, but in the second wave of the ZAFT fleet's offensive, it suffered the largest losses, up to eleven ships. Of the original forty Deshahu-class frigates, after two waves of attacks by the Zaft fleet, only twenty-four remained, nearly half of their number.

Speaking of which, there was no need for the Deshahu-class frigates and Bennes-class destroyers to lose so much, but because of the importance that Stevi and Addison attached to the Nimorelins-class cruisers, they were sadly reduced to cannon fodder to defend against the enemy's attack; And this is one of the reasons why Stevi was unable to launch a counterattack against the Zaft fleet immediately.

"Now...... What should we do? With one Akaron-class carrier-based aircraft carrier, two battleships, eight cruisers, eight destroyers, and twenty-four frigates, the almost disproportionate battle losses made it almost impossible to arrange the formation...... Do you want to put the Nemolins-class cruisers in the front? Well, it's not impossible. ”

Stevi spoke as if he was talking to himself, but the volume was not so low, at least Addison, who was standing next to him, had completely listened to his doubts. Addison also found this problem quite tricky, and the reason why his sword eyebrows were twisted almost in a single line was because the arrangement of the battleship formation almost stumped him.

However, when he heard Stervi's words as if talking to himself, his eyes widened for a moment, and the sword eyebrows that had been twisted into a single word slowly loosened, and his expression of bitter contemplation slowly turned into an indifferent smile at this time, it seemed that he had already thought of a formation suitable for the situation of the United First Space Fleet.

"The position of the Nikosius-class battleship remains the same, on both sides of the Akaron-class carrier-based aircraft carrier, only in this way can the Akaron-class carrier-based aircraft carrier be accidentally shot down by the enemy; after all, the Roosevelt is carrying 'that thing', once it is down, the wreckage left behind will definitely be able to find its existence, and even if we jump into the 'Rhine' at that time, we will not be able to explain this matter clearly, although we can forcibly plant the plant, but people of insight will never believe our unilateral explanation. ”

When he said this, Addison unconsciously thought of a very good and powerful question, that is: a discerning person would never believe that the colonial satellite explosion was made by the adjusters themselves, because on the colonial satellite, there are tens of thousands of their compatriots.

After analyzing the meeting, Addison couldn't help but shake his head slightly, then put aside this thought, and continued to explain his thoughts: "The remaining eight destroyers are obviously not enough to provide strong enough support for the cruisers, and the remaining twenty-four frigates do not need to be mentioned. protection, but also to further ensure that the Roosevelt-class Akaron-class carrier-based aircraft carrier will not be shot down by the ZAFT side. ”

"The remaining eight destroyers will escort the four cruisers that are not planned, and each of them can be divided into two destroyers; as for the frigates, eight frigates can be assigned to escort the four cruisers that are divided and support the battleships, and the remaining sixteen frigates will escort the eight destroyers that are not planned. ”

Listening to Addison say so much, Stevi couldn't react for a while, and when Addison stopped talking, he still frowned and thought deeply.

Addison didn't rush Stervi's thoughts, because at this time he was still thinking about whether the formation he had come up with on a whim was flawed, but he thought about it and felt that this formation was currently the most suitable for the United First Space Fleet at this time.

After the tea, Stervi finally came back to his senses from deep thought, he opened his mouth like a bloody mouth, and a loud voice like a bell spat out of his mouth: "To sum up, the Akaron-class carrier-based aircraft carriers have two battleships to escort, and the two battleships have four cruisers and eight frigates to escort, and the four cruisers that are not planned have eight destroyers and sixteen frigates to escort them. This will not only strengthen the firepower and protection of the warships in the core area, but also prevent the firepower and protection of the peripheral warships from being too weakened, and the perimeter warships will not necessarily become the enemy's primary target without the drag of the battleships......"

Although Stevi's mind was not as nimble as Addison's, with his experience in battle, it took him a little time to understand what Addison was trying to say, so he said the above sentence, and after speaking, he muttered for a while before agreeing: "Well, in that case, let the ships change formations according to this plan, and the action must be fast...... Because now we are less than seventy kilometers away from the ZAFT fleet. ”

"Yes!"

Addison felt that there were not many loopholes in this formation, so he didn't hesitate any longer, after all, this is a battlefield, and every minute of hesitation may cause a different ending...... Either you die, or I die.
