Speaking of which, Fengyu and the third-generation jump engine really have an indissoluble bond, and several actions have been accidentally related to this thing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Needless to say, he grabbed engine samples before, and went back to his first visit to the New African Galaxy, which also unexpectedly interrupted the critical progress of UAC research and development. And the FI alloy intercepted in the cargo hold of the Soros caravan this time is simply the core material for the manufacture of the third-generation jump engine, which should be produced in the HM-03 star field. Unexpectedly, after passing a hand in No, it fell into the hands of Fengyu again.

According to the system assessment, the FI alloy of these 10 ships can make more than 100 engines, which is the size of a fleet. In other words, once the Soros caravan successfully transported these FI alloys to NO's shipyard, it would mean the birth of a high-speed fleet with at least 1,000 times the speed of light.

Although FI-298, which constitutes the FI alloy, is known as a stable island element, its so-called long half-life is only compared to other transuranic elements, and it is still an extremely rare resource among the hundreds of star fields that have been developed by mankind.

Regardless of the fact that RSWB, the front organization of Awa-Ker, also has a Fi-298 mineral star in its hands, but the annual production is not enough to produce these 10 ships of FI alloy, and because the ore deposits are too poor, the mining cost is more than twice as high.

I have to say that UAC is very lucky, HM-03 is the star field with the highest known production of FI-298, so the officials who infiltrated it secretly dug the amount of 100 engines from between their teeth, and it was still not exposed, and the gap was erased just by making false accounts.

After knowing the monetary value and strategic value of this batch of goods, Fengyu naturally couldn't let it slip out of his hands. Not to mention that Awa-Ker also needs these supplies, at least in order to prevent no from getting these FI alloys back afterwards, the goods must be shipped away for now.

The "Tempest" is not a transport ship, and naturally does not have the ability to carry these FI alloys. This can only be handled by Monica and Awa-Ker's local intelligence officers. According to the feedback, it is necessary to wait at least 48 hours to ship this shipment without leaving a trace.

Forty-eight hours later, a large tugboat chartered by one of Awa-Ker's shell companies will pull the run-of-power merchant ships into the Kuiper Belt, where the cargo will be transported by barge to Awa-Ker's own transport ship. As long as you get rid of the shell company afterwards, you can wipe the matter away.

Even if NO will eventually settle this account on Awa-ker's head, at least it will not involve those unknown peripheral consortiums and institutions, lest NO attack Awa-ker's consortium like Fengyu attacked the Soros consortium fleet.

The reason why the council dared to approve Fengyu to build a "pirate" fleet to fight NO's consortia and merchant ships was precisely because it knew that NO could not cut off the well-hidden economic chain of Awa-Ker.

The consortia and institutions that have been exposed to the RSWB have been reorganized and transferred their shares to a third-party consortium because of the previous NO's attack on the Awa-Ker submarine base, and have now been largely stripped from the Awa-Ker system. If you attack them, it will only attract the attention and pressure of the governments, and will not hurt the awa-ker.

Having said that, the current situation has changed because of the appearance of FI alloy, and within 48 hours, the "Tempest" must hold these 10 merchant ships whose engines have lost power by them, otherwise everything will be suspended.

Such a long 48 hours may not be enough for inter-star voyages, but it would be more than enough to send a ship from the WG1 shipping center to call for help from the 9th Fleet. Given the enormous value of this shipment, it is believed that the head of NO's assignment to WG1 will do the same.

In this way, Fengyu's plan to lure the snake out of the hole will undoubtedly succeed, but it is not known for the time being whether it will lure out the nest of the 9th Fleet, a nest of poisonous snakes that betrayed the UAC, or whether there are only one or two formations.

But Feng Yu, as the supreme commander of the operation, has already begun to consider all possible situations and corresponding countermeasures in the past 48 hours.

"First of all, I think that the forces sent by the 9th Fleet must be in formation. After the previous two battles, we have completely annihilated two patrols, and they should know that only sending five warships can basically win us, so the troops coming to the WG1 shipping center must start in one formation. Fengyu summoned the "Quasi-Ace Squad" for a pre-war meeting and elaborated on his analysis.

Without waiting for the others to interject, he continued, "So I'll fight this battle, and the 'Tempest' will also operate optically stealth throughout the whole process." ”

At this time, Luo Yunxi asked, "What if the 9th Fleet dispatched more than one formation?" What if there are also ace pilots on the way? ”

These circumstances have also been considered, "After the loss of two patrols, the current strength of the 9th Fleet is equivalent to 4.5 formations. According to the UAC's custom, two patrols performing tasks at the same time will not belong to the same formation, so their current force configuration should be 3 full formations and 2 damaged formations. Taking into account the need to rescue the WG1 shipping center on the one hand, and to garrison the base on the other, they could only choose between several different combinations of these 5 formations. ”

Speaking of which, Fengyu conducted a sand table demonstration on the three-dimensional projection screen, arranging several possibilities for the 9th Fleet to send troops from small to large, namely 1, 0+2, 1+1, 2, 1+2, 2+1, 3, 2+2, among which the number after the plus sign represents the damaged fleet, and the strength ranges from the lowest 1 formation to the highest 3.5 formations.

"From this diagram, we can see that in fact, there are only three general options for the 9th Fleet. The first is to rescue a small number of troops, the second is to divide the forces as evenly as possible, and the third is to leave most of the rescue forces in small parts. In the end, one of their remaining ace pilots will choose between rescue and stay. ”

The 9th Fleet was supposed to have two ace pilots, but one was killed by Fengyu during Operation "Yellow Sparrow in the Rear" last year, so now there is only one lone seedling left. The high-end strategic resources of ace pilots are basically cultivated by the front-line fleets themselves, and it is unlikely that they will be deployed by the military leadership, unless they are irreconcilable with the mobile army like the "Storm Gate" incident at that time, they will be redeployed. Until the owner, the 9th Fleet, returns to the frontal battlefield, they are unlikely to have a new ace.

Therefore, in Fengyu's view, no matter what choice the 9th Fleet makes, the battle of the "Tempest" has a chance to win.

Fengyu's reason is very simple, an ace, half a fleet, is not a problem for him at all.

Last year, around this time, he faced one of the 9th Fleet's aces and two formations alone, and not only managed to recapture the third-generation jump engine, but also killed an ace to deter the pilots.

It is believed that when the aqua-blue mobile suit WS appears in front of the 9th Fleet again, the morale of the other party will immediately drop a lot.

At this time, Valkyrie asked a question that seemed silly, but was actually very curious to most of the Awakened pilots, "You said that the 9th Fleet can dispatch up to two full formations plus two damaged formations, isn't that beyond your bearing?" How else to fight? ”

Feng Yu didn't reprimand her, but showed a smile full of wisdom, "Won't we pick the weak side to fight?" ”
