Chapter 6: The First Arrival
After leaving DT1, Storm sailed towards DM02 next to the outer shell of the comet cloud in the Dijing Star Field. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Like Tianjing, the air traffic control in the area is extremely strict, and in order to prevent the reconnaissance ships sent by New Asia from entering the Earth Domain, the lanes in the spherical shell of the comet cloud in this field are covered with surveillance satellites.
The Comet Cloud, also known as the Oort Cloud, is a spherical shell-like region wrapped around the outermost part of a stellar field. Comet clouds are remnants of nebulae before star formation, and there are millions of comet nuclei that can continuously produce comets. With the exception of a few calculated passages where comets will not pass through in the short term, this region is not suitable for transition or curvature flight.
Normally, the thickness of the G2 and G3 stellar clouds is about 0.5 light-years. If you don't enter through the fairway, you will take at least a few years to make a regular voyage, and it will not be possible for any ship to load it. Therefore, it is still necessary to pass through the channel in order to fly through the comet cloud with curvature.
Once a ship passes through the Comet Cloud in the Dijing Star Field through a fixed channel, the next step is to artificially set up a space mine speed bump to force the spacecraft to exit the curvature flight and accept the audit of the monitoring satellite. As soon as the vessel does not obtain a permit, the surveillance satellite will immediately raise an alarm and notify the fleet patrolling inside the spherical shell of the comet cloud with laser communication.
Although the Tempest is not afraid of any patrol, once the new appearance of the revamp is blacklisted, it will not be convenient to move forward in the UAC occupation zone of the new Asian system. So at Morgan's suggestion, Fengyu didn't take the risk.
Three days later, the "Tempest" had arrived at the DM02 star field, which was far away from DT1. From here, continuing to the 9 o'clock direction of the Diyang ecliptic, there is the large rear of the UAC occupation zone, which is nearly 100 light-years deep.
Looking at this starry sky that should have belonged to the New Asian Republic, but it was occupied by invaders at the moment, Fengyu's heart was very uncomfortable. Even though he was no longer a soldier of New Asia, he still had a strong sense of responsibility and mission, and felt the need to recapture these star fields.
If it weren't for the fact that Captain Morgan was a UAC member, he might have been tempted to attack the local garrison fleet in the DM02 star field to vent.
However, if he did make a move, Captain Morgan might not completely disagree.
On the surface, this is the UAC occupation area, but it is also the base camp of NO, and NO's power here is extremely strong. When Awa-Ker was busy clearing out the forces in the Isolation Zone in the New African System in SC0105, No was also frantically attacking some of Awa-Ker's exposed industries.
At that time, there were both NO's own fleet and the local garrison fleet under the command of the UAC New Asia Galaxy Front, which caused a lot of losses to Awa-Ker. It is precisely because of this that Morgan finally confirmed that NO's base camp was here, and that Admiral Goering was NO's military leader.
However, it is clear that Admiral NO and Admiral Goering are entrenched in the UAC occupation zone of the New Asian system and do not care about being known by Awa-Ker at all. They also did not believe that Awa-Ker had the strength to confront Admiral Goering, who held a quarter of the UAC's forces.
This is also the case, even Admiral Goering, who is helpless in the UAC, Awa-Ker is naturally powerless against him. Not to mention the 10 first-line fleets in his hands, 25 ace pilots and a super ace that may exist, even those second-tier fleets, the combat power should not be underestimated.
As a careerist, Admiral Goering naturally would not be satisfied with the limitation of the front army with only 10 full-fledged first-line fleets, but he did not want to excessively stimulate the UAC domestically, so he could only make a fuss about the second-line fleet such as the opponent's garrison fleet.
For example, raising thieves with self-respect, using the New Asian Mobile Fleet to attack and harass the rear mining system, and privately supporting the pirate fleet to plunder civilian merchant ships, creating a situation full of dangers, and then being able to reasonably and legally apply for the establishment of a local garrison fleet in some geographically or economically high-status star fields.
According to the normal military system of the UAC, the first-line fleet of the main battle and the second-line fleet serving as local garrisons are different from each other. The Front can only have jurisdiction over a maximum of 10 first-line fleets, while the second-line fleet is subordinate to the National Guard and is under the dual jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense and local governments.
The problem is that the New Asian Galaxy is far away from the emperor, and Admiral Goering has seized the military and political power here. He is not only the commander-in-chief of the UAC New Asia Galaxy, but also the commander of the UAC occupation zone of the New Asian Galaxy, in fact, compared to the governors of the colonies sent by the European powers in ancient times, so he can also govern the local garrison fleet.
In this way, his control over the local garrison fleet is naturally much higher than that of the Ministry of Defense in the New American galaxy. He is responsible for the evaluation of officers and the nomination of promotions for these second-tier fleets, and then reports to the Ministry of National Defense. He even implemented regular rotations between the first-line fleet and the local garrison fleet, so that senior officers and pilots had the opportunity to go into the field and gain combat experience.
To put it bluntly, these local garrison fleets are equivalent to the reserve forces of the first-line fleet, and when necessary, they can be pulled into the battlefield to fight a tough battle with the enemy's regular fleet. If you want to say what are the shortcomings of these second-line fleets, that is, there is no ace pilot, otherwise the two local garrison fleets are basically equivalent to a first-line fleet.
It is precisely because of this strength that Admiral Goering will become a new era of warlords that will cause headaches for all sides. He blatantly used the local garrison fleet to take action against Awa-ker's industry, and he was not afraid of being said at all, but he could also take the opportunity to train his troops.
The industries that Awa-Ker had exposed in the UAC occupation zone of the New Asian System had been slandered by Admiral Goering as pirates, and were now under the control of the local government. According to the statistics of the Minister of Commerce and Trade of Awa-Ker, nearly 40% of the industry's industry has been lost, which can be described as a heavy loss.
However, Awa-Ker's industries here are mainly mining and basic manufacturing, and there are no military-related enterprises, so it does not have much impact on the organization's already not strong military strength.
Although after coming to DM02, in the face of the double hatred of the invader and NO, Fengyu was not at all calm in his heart, but he finally resisted the urge to do it immediately. When the Tempest first arrived, the first thing was to obtain an identity that could operate in the UAC occupation zone of the new Asian galaxy for a long time, rather than immediately creating tensions and making the approval process more difficult.
Yes, neither NO nor Admiral Goering could have imagined at this time that Awa-Ker would actually send a battleship deep into their base camp to conduct a military operation. And Captain Morgan just wants to take advantage of the time when the other party can't think of it, and hurry up to obtain a legal identity for the "Storm", otherwise it will be difficult in the future.
Feng Yu endured this breath and asked Luo Yunxi to continue to step in circles and learn about the star fields around Dijing.
After leaving DM02, the next stop is DM03, which is also the Mining Star Field, which is much the same, and there is not much to pay attention to. Moreover, compared to DM02, DM03 does not even have a local garrison fleet because it is not on the main shipping lanes and does not have any particularly important strategic resources.
According to Captain Morgan, DM03's industrial structure is biased towards basic people's livelihood, and it has little to do with NO, so even in the future, it is not worth doing anything about this star field.
Since DM03 was nothing to look at, the "Tempest", which had already circled, continued to sail clockwise around Jijing. Before they knew it, they had come full circle and were back in W8 again.
After this circle, the "Tempest" also sailed for almost 30 light years and took about ten days. At this time, assuming that this is an ordinary business spaceship with a second-generation jump engine, it does not dock at W1-W7 on the way, and it happens to arrive at W8 in time, so the "Tempest" officially sails into this star field and begins to go through the process to apply for entering the Dijing Star Field.
As a newcomer, the vetting procedures for the Storm were quite complicated. However, at present, this "business ship" is nominally the property of Captain Morgan, and the old man has UAC nationality, and the company under his name is also based in the New American system. At the same time, Captain Morgan prepared a fairly complete registry and logbook for the "Tempest", which is enough to prove that the ship flew from the New American system. So it's not very difficult to apply for an access permit, and all that is needed is time.
According to the regulations, the newcomer ship must submit the declaration materials in the W8 star field, and then the W8 port inspection department will summarize the information and send it to Beijing, and then this information will go around in a number of military and political departments including the Air Traffic Authority, the Commerce and Trade Bureau, the Security Bureau, and the Beijing Garrison District, and finally the Beijing Access Pass will be issued by the Air Traffic Authority.
Not counting the time required for the review of various departments, this back-and-forth voyage alone would have taken at least a week.
According to Captain Morgan's declaration, this is a commuter ship specially used for business travel, carrying the company's senior management around the world to inspect the market, assess the branches, and conduct some business negotiations.
Such business commuter ships are very common in large consortia, and even a consortium will have several commercial ships that are responsible for the work of different galaxies. And the scale of the industry under Captain Morgan's name is not big, nor is it small, although there is no way to get a few or even a dozen business ships like a big consortium, at least one can still be done.
According to Captain Morgan's application materials, the "Storm" will go on a one-year business cruise in the UAC occupation zone of the New Asian Galaxy, and apply for a one-year pass to enter the Dijing Star Field.
The report, carefully prepared by the Ministry of Intelligence, was so detailed and plausible that it was impossible to find any suspicion or reason for refusal. Therefore, after W8 waited patiently for half a month, the long review process was finally completed, and the "Storm" was allowed to enter the Dijing Star Domain.
