Chapter 52: The Age of Pilots
Although Groningen was suspicious of the Awa-Ker headquarters more than a dozen light-years away, he did not disperse his forces to the periphery to attack the No's reconnaissance ships, but used the fleet to block the channel of the star field to create the illusion that this was the headquarters.

This is an unnamed K-shaped starfield, and if it hadn't been chosen by Groningen as a stand-in for the Awa-Ker headquarters, it probably wouldn't have been noticed for a long time to come.
The biggest advantage of this star field is that there are many planets, a full 11, and there are many moons of the planets, which can form at least dozens of Lagrange points with the planets to support the space city. Suffice it to say, this star field is actually a replica of the Awa-Ker headquarters star field.
The G-type star field has the closest star environment to the sun, either habitable planets or agricultural stars, which are basically strategic points that governments must compete for, as long as one is found within a few dozen light years, it will definitely spare no effort to send a fleet to explore and develop, and it is not the turn of organizations like Awa-ker or NO to pick up the leaks. The most typical example is the new Beijing Star Domain laid by Fengyu in New Asia a few years ago.
And the M-type star field is the best mining star, only because the stellar light is slightly dim and not easy to be spotted. But as long as it's close enough, you can still find it. Such star fields are basically owned by governments or large consortia, even if Awa-Ker and No have a lot of them.
If Awa-Ker sets up its headquarters in an M-shaped star field, it will certainly have abundant resources for production and construction, but the goal is inevitably too obvious. The Council would rather go to the trouble and pay a little transportation costs than build its headquarters in a relatively safe K-shaped star field.
With the relocation of the headquarters to the Isolation Zone Star Field in New Africa, the related military industry of Awa-ker has also begun to set up factories here, organizing the production of warships and mobile suits and various supporting supplies nearby. Such a large military industrial chain cannot be built without the support of dozens of space cities.
Feng Yu returned from this trip, and he could already see that a large number of space city frames were being built on the Lagrange points of each planet. The first few space cities were already busy in production, providing the Storm Blue fleet with consumables such as armor plates, common spare parts, ammunition, and space mines.
It is said that Dr. M and his mobile suit production base will soon be relocated in its entirety, and the Milky Way is not a place to stay for a long time after all, only the isolation zone of the New African Galaxy is. I believe that it won't be long before Fengyu doesn't need to make a special trip to the galaxy for the super model "Storm", and a full set of maintenance work can be carried out here.
Once NO's reconnaissance ship approaches the periphery of a certain star field, it can basically find out the planetary resource status of this star field, but the artificial celestial body like Space City is too small compared to natural celestial bodies, and can only be seen when it enters the Kuiper belt.
Therefore, Groningen asked the "Storm Blue" fleet to block all the shipping lanes in this star field, in order to give the other side the illusion that this is the new headquarters of Awa-Ker. There is no doubt that this is the main battlefield he presupposed.
The reason why this place was chosen as the main battlefield of the second AN Barrier Battle, Groningen also took great pains to avoid the "Storm Blue" fleet suffering too much loss in the face of NO's positive electron artillery.
Because there are many celestial bodies here, which are the natural shelters of the "Storm Blue" fleet. Groningen is preparing to rely on the seventh planet of this star field, this Jupiter-like planet has as many as two dozen large and small moons, and the planetary ring is also an excellent natural shelter for the positive electron cannon, enough to consume a lot of energy for each cannon.
But his intentions are so obvious, which means that the commander of NO's fleet will not come to the seventh planet to fight against it as long as he is not stupid. This was the most annoying thing for him before, and he was waiting for the two of them to sum up after Fengyu came back, and see if there was any way to make no enter his preset battlefield willingly.
Although Fengyu has brought a better way, he is still very satisfied with the main battlefield chosen by Groningen. If you want to avoid losing in a daze, the more prepared you are before the war, the better.
He looked at the intricate environment of Planet Seven, and couldn't help but think of the previous battle in the Rutan Star Domain. "If you want your opponent to fight on our preset battlefield, then you have to give them a reason to come, such as our headquarters."
Groningen smiled bitterly when he heard this, "I understand what you said, the problem is that there is nothing here, and the enemy is not blind, how can he be fooled?" ”
"If the enemy is not blind, let them be blind!" Luo Yunxi on the side had already guessed Fengyu's thoughts, and couldn't help but interject.
After all, Groningen is no more young than young, and as they get older, their brains are not as active as before, and they are more conservative. Even if Luo Yunxi had been reminded to this point, he still couldn't think of a specific way, "What is blind or not, little girl, don't play dumb riddles, just say it." ”
Feng Yu looked at Luo Yunxi with a smile and motioned for her to answer the question.
Marshmallow was a little embarrassed, just now she suddenly caught the idea of wind and rain, and felt that this was the heart of the lovers, and she was a little too excited for a while, so she shouted out regardless of her identity.
But at this time, since Fengyu asked for it, it was not easy for her to hide it anymore, "Actually, it's very simple, we don't need them to see the space city, just let them think that there is a space city here." Send a dozen reconnaissance ships, occupy the L4 and L5 of each satellite, and then go into optical stealth. In this way, the other side will think that we have made Space City invisible in order to protect the headquarters. ”
"Good! Good idea! In this way, they have to make a trip to the seventh planet for everything. Groningen slapped his thigh excitedly, then turned his head to look at Fengyu, "Remember what I told you before?" Your Luo Yunxi is a material to be the commander of the fleet! ”
Marshmallow was even more embarrassed when she heard this, "Don't say that. This method is not what I thought, I just appreciated Brother Xiaofeng's strategic intentions. ”
Groningen looked at her with a smile, "It doesn't matter who came up with it, what matters is what you said, you can appreciate his strategic intentions!" This era is the era of pilots, and the most needed trait for fleet commanders is to appreciate the strategic intentions of stream-of-consciousness ace pilots, so that the fleet actively cooperates, rather than dragging its feet. ”
Speaking of this, the old man sighed with emotion, "The era of mutual fire of the fleet's main guns has passed, and the tactics of consuming large ships and huge guns that kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 should have been eliminated long ago." The commander of the fleet, who was still delusional about winning the battle with the main guns, would eventually become a loser. I'm glad Awa-Ker has you! In contrast, NO's military discourse is still in the hands of that group of old diehards, and this time the yang electron cannon is the best proof of this. This is the dying struggle and the final counterattack of the big ship and the giant cannon thought! Fengyu, I hope you can defeat them here today, and you will always be able to defeat them in the future! ”
"I'm also glad that Awa-Ker has such an enlightened veteran general as you, no, you are already a far-sighted military strategist. You see farther than I do, you think more than I do. I've been fighting at my own pace and pace, and I've never thought about such a profound question. Just a few years ago, I was regretting that I wasn't a captain but just a pilot. Listening to your words today, I really suddenly became enlightened. ”
The Great War is approaching, and the two supreme military commanders of Awa-ker, one old and one young, have this talk that officially opens the era of pilots, announcing the end of the idea of big ships and giant guns.
