The fleet, led by Fengyu and Groningen, eventually gave the name "Pirate" according to Fengyu's opinion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the "Corsair" fleet has only 10 warships, with 200 awakened pilots, they are not inferior to a regular fleet, so they are considered to be the first regular fleet of Awa-ker. Prior to this, there were several escort armies of the Awa-Ker holding consortium on the New African side, but these fleets were not at all on the same level as the "pirate" fleet.

First of all, these armed fleets belong to the consortium and are not under the direct jurisdiction of the awa-ker, so it is not convenient to mobilize. Moreover, the transfer of these armed fleets will lead to a shortage of local defense forces, that is, the east wall will be demolished to make up for the west wall.

Secondly, the warships used in these fleets are all retired and old warships purchased from various countries, and they lag behind today's mainstream in terms of armor, firepower and engine. It's okay to use it for medium and short-range escorts or guards in the star field, but it's not enough to carry out the maneuver operations that Fengyu wants.

To make matters worse, these fleets are woefully lacking in mobile suits and rely more on iron balls that have been withdrawn from the frontal battlefield as a fighting force. Of course, Iron Ball is only weak compared to humanoid mobile suits, but it is enough to deal with an equally not-so-powerful pirate fleet. The legitimate pirates of the New African Galaxy are almost on the same level as these armed fleets, or even slightly inferior.

In contrast, the equipment of the "pirate" fleet is quite high-end and atmospheric. The two capital ships are the Iron Wall class developed and designed by Awa-Ker's shipyard in the New African Galaxy, and their performance parameters are comparable to those of UAC's flagship capital ship Supernova. And the 8 Blood-class destroyers are not much different from the UAC superstar. In addition, the rest of the various types of logistics ships are also quite good.

It's nothing, what really moves Fengyu is the configuration of the mobile suit. As a self-developed production model, Awa-Ker actually installed an R-particle generator on each mobile suit, so that it can produce R-particle shields to defend against long-range attacks of particle beam weapons. While this greatly increases the production cost of each Mobile Suit, it increases the survivability of the pilots. In this way, Fengyu is more confident in the success rate of this group of students.

According to the explanation of the chairman of the board of directors, Edward, it is impossible for the awa-ker to develop military forces on a large scale, so it can only go as far as possible on the elite route, and it is worth investing a little more in equipment.

In addition, all warships or logistics ships of the "Corsair" fleet have reserved interfaces for upgrading the third-generation jump engine, and they can be updated only after the engine factory under Awa-ker produces a practical third-generation engine.

Although Awa-Ker did not allow the "pirate" fleet to show a clear direct relationship with the organization, no effort was spared in the investment in this fleet. At the same time as the fleet was formed, the Council also transformed an abandoned mining base in the Barrier Zone into a base for the fleet, making it look more like a real pirate fleet on the surface.

When all this is ready, the first fleet of Awa-ker, nicknamed "Pirates", can finally be played.

Just before the "pirate" fleet set sail, an unfortunate news came first, a caravan of the Awa-Ker's consortium was attacked, not only all the merchant ships were robbed, but even the armed fleet that escorted the ship was completely wiped out. By the time the news reached headquarters, the number of casualties and the number of missing persons in the consortium alone had exceeded 2,000, not counting property damage.

There is no doubt that this is the handiwork of NO, and ordinary pirates will not shoot at merchant ships with escort fleets, because the gains outweigh the losses, and the price paid is likely to be higher than the final gains. Pirates seek money, and any action is based on pure profit, and they will not trade at a discount. Such an attack will be carried out at any cost only for the purpose of fighting the awa-ker.

NO is still a large interest group, but its internal organizational structure has slowly moved closer to the state apparatus. For the greater good in the future, they will set aside military budgets and carry out military operations that do not see short-term benefits, such as fighting awa-ker.

In fact, no had been aware of the Awa-Ker group for a long time, and was aware of Awa-Ker's hostility towards them. It's just that Awa-ker has always existed as a civil society before, and they have never felt threatened, so they don't take Awa-ker seriously.

After two setbacks at the "edge of the world" and WG1, NO has deeply realized that Awa-Ker is a roadblock on their way to world hegemony, an opponent that must be faced squarely and must be eradicated as soon as possible.

So no is ready to use Awa-ker as a whetstone, through military operations again and again to fight this organization that dares to touch the tiger's butt, and sharpen his minions. When the awa-ker is disabled, NO's own fleet will grow smoothly. They will not pin all their hopes on the fleets of those countries that have been infiltrated. The thousands of years of human history is very revealing, only in the barrel of a gun can power come out, and if there are no soldiers in hand, you can only make wedding dresses for others.

The attack on the caravan once again shocked the Awa-Ker headquarters and made people feel the crisis. The ferocity of the NO turned out to be more ferocious than the council expected, and if the resolution and action to form the fleet were delayed for another month, it was predictable how passive the awa-ker would be.

It's impossible for Awa-Ker to be on his own as before. This is a war, a war with NO. If there is no such awareness, Awa-Ker would have given up the idea of stopping NO from hegemony as soon as possible, and honestly became a non-confrontational civil society.

In view of the rampant NO, the Council temporarily decided to increase support for the "pirate" fleet. Although this fleet is still not allowed to enter the star field where its consortium is located, Awa-ker will send a large number of reconnaissance ships to set up an intelligence network in the isolation zone star field, pay close attention to the dynamics of the NO vassal consortium, and collect intelligence for Fengyu. And the council also allowed the "pirate" fleet to freely attack all merchant ships that proved to have a close relationship with the NO.

In this way, caravans such as the Xia Clan Seiko and the Li Consortium are also attacked, and they will not adopt a lenient attitude just because the other party is a merchant.

Since you want to break through the bottom line, then Awa-ker can only fight violence with violence, and never be soft!
