Chapter 44: MacArthur
No matter how difficult this road is, Fengyu will always have to go on, even if it has to pay the price, it is worth it. www.biquge.info This is not only his attitude towards this matter, but also his attitude towards life.
The "Tempest" spent an hour slowly moving out of the flotilla, slowly moving out little by little. As long as they don't make mistakes themselves, it's only a matter of time before they get out of the queue of passing vessels.
In the face of thousands of spaceships waiting to pass through the "Tempest" in disguise, the Federal Army is also helpless. The three fleets together have only 150 warships, which is a fraction of the total number of ships in this airspace. As long as the "Storm" dares to move in the direction of the wormhole, they are even ready to close the entrance passage of the wormhole at any time.
And the "Tempest" really took advantage of the fact that the Federation warships could not fire at themselves, and headed straight in the direction of the passage in an optically invisible state.
In the face of the "Tempest", the three fleets of the Federation Army have different reactions.
The fleet in charge of the waiting area ordered all warships to open the R-particle shield and stand by in line with the principle of caution and no big mistake, but did not make further moves. The two pseudo-aces sent before were the two pillars of this fleet, and they returned home with only one face, which was really demoralizing.
This also made the fleet commander clearly realize that the silver mobile suit on the opposite side was a super ace, and it was definitely not something that ordinary pilots could compete with. The only thing he could confirm now was that the super ace didn't seem to want to cause a kill here in Taifei Wh, and let go of the two pseudo-aces sent by the fleet.
If this is not the case, I am afraid that he will not even have the courage to guard the waiting area at this time, and he will let his fleet withdraw at least 10,000 kilometers. Even so, he was still a little apprehensive, for fear that this super ace was playing to capture the old man, and when the stealth battleship approached his fleet, he suddenly came out and went straight to the flagship.
He turned to the chief of staff and asked, "Can you find this super model?" Is it a 'storm' car? ”
The chief of staff looked at the search and comparison results on the screen in front of him with a solemn face, "I can't find it, this is the first time this model has appeared." As it stands, only 'Storm' is the most suitable. The news that he has become a super ace has just come from the New African galaxy. I just don't know if this invisible ship is 'Storm Blue', it doesn't look like it from the outside, and it doesn't appear at the right time. ”
"Hmm." The fleet commander's expression was slightly disappointed, "Urge the border control center to quickly share the recent trip record of this ship with us, so that we can know if it is 'Storm Blue'." ”
"What if it is?" The chief of staff asked.
The fleet commander was silent after hearing this, and only replied for a long time, "If it's really 'Storm Blue', what can we do?" The UAC's battle-hardened 9th Fleet was crippled by the Storm alone. What can we do with a fleet that hasn't fought in decades? ”
"Then let it go? Left to the MacArthur family to deal with? The Chief of Staff lowered his voice and asked cautiously.
"Well, if we have the opportunity, we should firing a few shots symbolically, so as not to be accused of our inaction." The commander of the fleet set the tone for the operation.
Compared to this fleet, which is on the cusp of guarding the waiting area, the other fleet that acts as a mobile rescue is much easier. When the Tempest began to release R-particles, the fleet slowly approached the waiting area. But when it took only a few seconds for the "Storm" to decapitate one of the "aces" and scare the other away, the commander of this fleet immediately made a decision.
He had his fleet fine-tune the direction of the voyage and make a posture to expand the encirclement. Later, seeing that the shadow area of the "Tempest" was heading in the direction of the wormhole, he simply asked the fleet to sail in the direction of the entrance to the waiting area, and telegraphed to the other two fleets, saying that he was responsible for blocking the passage of the "target" to escape back to TF1.
The other two fleet commanders scolded the "old fox" in unison almost as soon as they received the notice.
Under the small actions of the "old fox", the responsibilities of the three fleets were invisibly divided. His fleet was guarding TF1, with the fleet that had previously decapitated a knight ace guarding the waiting area, while a third fleet, led by Vice Admiral MacArthur, continued to guard the entrance to the wormhole.
Judging by the "Storm" thing, the first fleet naturally bore the brunt, and then the MacArthur fleet, and the "old fox" himself could basically stay out of it.
At this moment, in the bridge of the flagship of the Third Fleet, Vice Admiral MacArthur had a stinky face, "Are the two of them going to throw the burden on me alone?" ”
"But this operation was originally led by the old man, so naturally we should take the lead." His chief of staff reminded from the sidelines.
The MacArthur family, a veteran military family of the Earth Federation, has been active in the military arena since the 19th century. When mankind entered the space age, the leading figure of this generation, Luton. MacArthur also participated in the "War of Five Planets Against Two Planets" in SC0075, accumulating military merit and rising to the rank of general.
However, with the declaration of permanent neutrality of the Earth Federation, it is difficult for soldiers to have the opportunity to obtain military merits. MacArthur became one of the initiators of NO, tying the entire family to the organization.
This blockade of the Taifei WH to intercept the "Tempest" was initiated by Luton, who has been promoted to vice chairman of the Federal Military Council. As the son of Luton, Douglas was expected to do so. Vice Admiral MacArthur II also led his own fleet to join the blockade sequence.
If others don't know the strength and details of the "Storm", as the core members of NO, the MacArthur family must be clear. Needless to say, the fall of the "Twin Stars" in the Rutan Star Field, including Fengyu's entire resume and achievements since joining the army at the age of 16, Lieutenant General MacArthur has checked them in detail.
Now NO's attention to Fengyu has reached the same level as Awa-ker, and he has even created a new "Storm Section" in the Ministry of Intelligence specifically for the purpose of studying and investigating him. If it weren't for Feng Yu who had no relatives other than Luo Yunxi, with the consistent style of NO, I was afraid that he would have already taken action against his relatives.
Vice Admiral MacArthur knew that the fighting power of the Federation fleet could not be helped. His father, Luton, had not expected to be able to take out the Storm with three fleets that lacked high-end combat power.
Its real intention is twofold, one is to delay Fengyu's return to the New African System, buy time for the President of the New African System, and arrange a second large-scale military operation against Awa-Ker.
The second intention is to give Fengyu a chance to "kill" the Federation soldiers, and intensify the conflict between Awa-Ker and the Earth Federation. When the time comes, the MacArthurs and the Rutan Consortium may be able to pull the country back into the quagmire of war.
The problem is that Feng Yu is obviously not fooled, whether it is facing the local garrison fleet of Rutan before or facing the two pseudo-aces now, he has never played a dead hand. The only people who really died at the hands of the Awakened Pilot were the people of NO, and they had nothing to do with the Earth Federation Army.
At Fengyu's age, even if he is a stream-of-consciousness ace, he will not have such high political wisdom. If he could have figured out the roundabout ways, he wouldn't have been deceived into betraying New Asia back then. That was the first thing that Chairman Edward repeatedly told him before leaving the headquarters, and he must pay attention to this.
At this time, the "Tempest" had already sailed out of the waiting area and continued to fly towards the entrance of the wormhole.
All the pressure came to Lieutenant General MacArthur. Without hesitation, he ordered, "Block the passage and order all ships to stay more than 20,000 kilometers away from the passage." Anyone who enters this area, no matter whose ship it is, will be regarded as an accomplice to the 'target' and will be sunk directly! I'd rather see how Storm Blue gets through the wormhole. ”
