At this point in time when the "Tempest" left GM53, both the Earth Federation Government and the NO headquarters had already fried the pot. Biquge.infogm49, Rutan, and gm72 were attacked successively, and three spaceship production-related enterprises were hit hard.

The point is that the size of 10 prototypes is somewhat unbelievable, which is basically the quasi-ace number of a first-line fleet. However, which country's first-line fleet is willing to send all the backbone of its fleet.

I know Awa-ker and know that this nemesis did it. But the Earth Federation can't think of this, they will only think about the country.

Ace pilots are the mainstay and confidence of a fleet, but it is the quasi-ace who really leads ordinary pilots in group battles. The ace pilots either sit in the flagship and watch the battle, or they are busy containing each other's aces and will not participate in the low-level battlefield of the mobile war group at all.

If a first-line fleet dares to send out all the quasi-aces, once the enemy knows about it, it will immediately fight, as long as the ace pilots contain each other, the mobile brigade lacking the quasi-ace will be collapsed by the opponent in minutes.

In other words, if a country draws a quasi-ace from each of the 10 first-line fleets to carry out this operation, then the impact on their respective fleets can be negligible. The Earth Federation thought that it had found the truth of the matter, and immediately kept a close eye on several fixed wormholes, and strengthened the troops stationed in order to sink the stealth warship that had smuggled in.

This time, the Earth Federation will adopt the highest standard of border inspection, and any outbound ship with a length greater than 150 meters will need to be boarded for inspection. In this way, all transport ships camouflaged by capital ships, destroyers, and transport ships will be included, and there will be no fish that slip through the net.

The Tempest's return journey was not easy. Although it has been remodeled in appearance, its length of 203 meters is just a little more than the length of destroyers of various countries, which is easily reminiscent of its real identity.

For merchant ships, the Tempest is too small to carry much cargo, and the cost of running cross-galaxy routes is too high. Generally speaking, the length of civilian transport ships is more than 300 meters, and it is not surprising that it even reaches the length of 400 meters like the Lanan-class transport ships.

In terms of size, the "Tempest" is more like a passenger ship. However, the passenger spaceship needs to provide a passenger list, and all the crew members on the destroyer, including the pilot, are less than 50 people, so it is obviously impossible to support a passenger list. This number can only pretend to be the private small passenger ship of those big conglomerates, but the size of the "Tempest" is obviously too big.

To be honest, the size of the "Tempest" actually does not stand up to scrutiny. If it's on a normal day when the border control is relatively relaxed, as long as it doesn't involve contraband, the border inspectors generally won't care whether the boat you use is reasonable or not. But in such a special period, I am afraid that this destroyer will be scrutinized.

Although Monica is there, the other party can't see any problems on the surface, but once the size of the ship is seriously investigated, there must be a reasonable explanation that can convince the border inspectors.

What is the situation of Taifei WH at this time, it is not known on the side of the "Storm" for the time being, Luo Yunxi still sailed to the return route according to the original plan. Ten days later, they arrived at TF1.

As a K-type star field with no development value, TF1 has the same prosperity as the Earth-Moon L4 hub port. For no other reason, this is the last stop on the way to Taifei WH.

As a fixed wormhole, the Taifei WH will certainly not be inside the stellar domain, but must be in an open dark matter region between the stellar domains. There is no environment for the formation of wormholes in the stellar field, and the wormholes will swallow all the celestial bodies around them, so even if there were stars near Taifei Wh, they have already become the physical object of this fixed wormhole.

As a result, TF1, which is a neighbor of Taifei WH, has become an important hub on this main waterway, and the number of ships entering and leaving the port every day is larger than that of the Earth-Moon L4, which is the most famous in the solar circle, and it is deservedly the busiest hub port in the human world.

The TF1 Shipping Center is not just a space city like WG1 on the other side of the wormhole, but is composed of a cluster of space cities. Because on the other side of the Taifei WH, there will be three shipping lanes, which lead to the Earth Federation, the UAC and the new EU occupation zone, and on this side, there is only TF1, a unique hub port, which is far from being able to withstand a space city.

First of all, there are three terminal space cities in TF1, corresponding to the occupation zone of the three countries on the other side of the wormhole, where all merchant ships receive pre-entry of flag information before going to Taifei WH, and then the communication ship will deliver the information to the border inspection station for passage and queue, and then leave TF1 for Taifei WH after the number is queued.

In addition to the three terminal space cities, the TF1 Shipping Center also includes a supply space city, a commercial operation space city, a border control center space city, and a federal fleet base. Together, these seven space cities form a complete shipping center.

Due to the increase in border inspection specifications, the speed of passage of Taifei WH has decreased, and a large number of ships are congested at TF1 waiting for the number.

And because of the level of communication, there is no real-time data exchange. The data of the space city of the three terminals need to be summarized to the space city of the border inspection center before the numbering work can begin, which causes the opacity of the news and the increase of black-box operations. Often, the ships of large conglomerates can get the number faster, while the ships of small and medium-sized enterprises have to wait for two or three days.

In this way, in the process of waiting for the number to be called, everyone can only go to the commercial operation space city to pass the time, inquire about news, and exchange information. As an organization with strong intelligence capabilities, Awa-Ker also has intelligence officers stationed in TF1's commercial operation, Space City, and operates a café.

After the "Tempest" arrived at TF1, seeing the congestion at the airport of the terminal Space City, Fengyu knew that the Earth Federation must have made a move. So Luo Yunxi did not pre-enter the registration information as soon as possible, but asked Monica to go to the business operation space city to inquire about information.

When the exclusive intelligence officer of the "Tempest" came back, he brought the latest news, "The Earth Federation has made a big deal this time, and directly arranged 3 fleets in Taifei WH, and is determined to kill us." ”

This result was not unexpected by Fengyu, but 3 fleets were still a bit much. So he asked, "If one WH is stationed in 3 fleets, then a total of 4 WH should be stationed in 12 fleets?" The Earth Federation doesn't have that many first-line fleets, right? Can't always use the second-tier fleet to fill the number? ”

Monica naturally inquired about this question clearly, so she immediately gave the answer, "No, the other three fixed wormholes only have one fleet, and only Taifei is here." The official statement of the Earth Federation is that there are many ships here, so there are many fleets sent. But according to our intelligence, it was no behind the scenes that hinted that the Earth Federation was putting heavy forces on this side. ”

"Oh, how much more did you say?" Fengyu is more worried about dragging RSWB into this mess again.

This time is not as good as last year, when the RSWB standing in front of the Awa-Ker stage was still slaughtered by the Earth Federation as a victim, ceding a lot of benefits. If you are caught as a perpetrator this time, you are basically waiting for your life to be raided. Of course, in this era, there is no such thing as confiscation, but the opposite direction is to squeeze out a legal entity through various huge amounts of fines and confiscations, and compensation, which is still the same in essence.

"Not much, that's pretty much it. After all, they can't see the light themselves, and if they talk too much, they will expose themselves. Monica obviously asked this question as well, and she is really a very professional intelligence officer.

Since there is no need to worry about problems on the RSWB side, it is much easier to do it on the Tempest's side. Awa-Ker had already prepared a complete registry and itinerary for this camouflaged "cargo ship", and there would be no problems on the surface.

It's just that Monica provided another piece of news, "Although we have not exposed the 'Tempest' in our operations in various star fields, the NO side still suspects us, and suggests that the border inspection center will focus on the inspection of ships about 200 meters long." ”

According to Awa-ker's intelligence, the Taifei WH border control center was basically infiltrated by NO. This was originally intended to reserve a back door for the future of NO's fleet to pass through the wormhole, but I didn't expect it to be used against the "Storm" this time.

The way home is not easy.
