Speaking of which, the attack on NF-01 was led by Groningen, but as the direct boss of the "Pirate" fleet, Fengyu believes that he should bear the main responsibility for this mistake and must find a solution to the current crisis. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

So he stared at the starry sky map of the star field in the isolation zone and fell into deep thought.

Although he did not study commanding, with his excellent awareness and overall view, he soon had a good idea, "I have a suggestion for active defense. ”

"Oh, let's hear it." Edward was still very confident in Fengyu's military qualities, and thought that his proposal should be constructive.

"Through the NF-01 battle, I found that these students still have some good seedlings, and their personal abilities are very strong, such as Valkyrie and Hong Juxing, who are particularly suitable for individual combat, and I believe that combined with the use of awakening ability, pilots below the quasi-ace are not their opponents. I suggest adopting the model of a special ship for ace pilots, and assign a high-speed ship to each of these pilots to serve as a vigilance mission in these star fields. ”

Although Chairman Edward is not a soldier, he also understood what Fengyu meant when he heard this, and looked at the star map with bright eyes and said, "That's right, no must send reconnaissance ships to these dozen star fields to explore first, and only after discovering will the fleet be dispatched." If we take the initiative and have the Awakened pilots take a high-speed ship to alert these fields and sink all the reconnaissance ships that enter, we will not be able to find out our true location. Good idea! ”

Feng Yu continued, "Although this will not prevent NO from eventually sending a fleet, but after the exploration is fruitless, they will not be able to continue to use the reconnaissance ship, but will directly use the fleet to investigate." At this time, the initiative is in our hands. As long as we find any trace of the opposing fleet, we can completely let the 'pirate' fleet organize an ambush battle. ”

The two then discussed some details and refined the active defense plan. Then Feng Yu went to the Ministry of Security, where he was temporarily the minister, to make follow-up work arrangements.

According to the plan, the "Corsair" fleet will send 20 melee pilots who have performed well in the first battle as patrol guards for active defense to strike at NO reconnaissance ships. Coupled with the loss of the two pilots in NF-01, he had to replenish the fleet from among the 171 cadet pilots stationed at headquarters.

As a result, there are only 149 pilots left behind in the headquarters, plus Hong Juxing, who is about to be transferred back to the star field where the headquarters is located, which is just enough for a squadron. However, considering the protective effect of the active defense plan on the headquarters, these pilots are more than enough to sit in the headquarters, and they don't even have much chance to fight.

After a short day at headquarters, Fengyu set off again, accompanied by a transport ship carrying 22 pilots to the stronghold of the "pirate" fleet.

After returning to the fleet, around the Isolation Zone Star Field, in the area within 20 light years of the headquarters, Fengyu arranged several "pirate" operations to attack the caravans related to NO, so that the other party's activities in this area completely disappeared, cutting off their eyes and ears.

In this way, two months after the NF-01 campaign, several NO reconnaissance ships appeared in the separation zone as scheduled, and one of their main fleets was already on its way. It seems that No's determination for revenge is even stronger than Awa-Ker expected, and he can't wait to find out Awa-Ker's stronghold and dispatch the fleet.

But it was obviously impractical to have a fleet cruising back and forth in a dozen star fields, which would take months and consume a lot of supplies. Therefore, the key is to rely on the first few high-speed ships to find the enemy.

Although it is not exactly the same as expected, it does not affect the active defense plan planned by Fengyu. The 20 young pilots, led by Valkyrie and Hong Juxing, also showed strong individual combat ability, allowing only one of NO's reconnaissance ships to run away, and the rest were sunk.

Without reconnaissance ships to sue for the enemy, the NO fleet that arrived later became blind, and could only temporarily stay in the outer area of the isolation zone, facing dozens of star fields in unknown conditions in front of them. Forced by Fengyu's active defense plan, the NO fleet could only send several patrols composed of destroyers to detect in several ways.

Facing the patrol, Valkyrie, who was the first to spot the other party, was as impulsive as ever. The Viking girl went single-handedly to take on the patrol, and was beaten to the ground under the siege of three mobile teams, and almost couldn't come back. It was also thanks to her that she was an awakened pilot, and her "hot-blooded" ability allowed her to show her quasi-ace-level strength, so she broke out of the encirclement after shooting down two enemy planes, and her mobile suit was also hit hard.

As for the other Awakened pilots, they were calm, knowing that destroyers were no better than high-speed ships, and they were not something that a fledgling rookie like them could deal with. Otherwise, sinking a high-speed ship single-handedly does not count in the ship killing record, only battleships with more than a destroyer count.

You must know that even their principal Fengyu did not have the strength to cut ships just after his debut, he only completed the first ship cutting in the second year after two years in the army, and he bullied a destroyer that was moored in the airport and could not fight normally. As for single-handedly picking up a patrol with 3 destroyers and 15 mobile suits, in the fifth year of his military career, he attacked the 9th Fleet Patrol in the "Operation Ignition" in the New African Galaxy in SC0102 when he had become an ace pilot with an exclusive custom model.

Valkyrie's behavior was completely a brainless behavior after the hot blood, and he was scolded by Fengyu afterwards.

Upon learning of the opponent's change, Fengyu decided to take the initiative and strike at these scattered patrols with the superior forces of the "pirate" fleet.

A month later, all three patrols were wiped out, with a total of 9 destroyers and 45 mobile suits lost, and all the survivors were captured. On the other hand, the "pirate" fleet did not suffer, and allowed the young pilots to grow up quickly through a few actual battles.

As a result of this, the size of the NO fleet has shrunk, and the young captains and pilots of the "pirate" fleet have become more mature and stable. The dilemma of the NO fleet no longer dared to send out patrols, but instead cowered in an unnamed star field on the edge of the barrier, sending liaison ships to various NO strongholds in the New African system to seek reinforcements.

The fleet was originally 30 warships and a number of supply transports, nearly three times the size of the "pirate" fleet. After some encroachment by Fengyu, the number of warships remained at this time only 21, and the mobile suits were only in their early 400s, just twice the size of the "pirate" fleet.

If we continue to wait until reinforcements are sent from all the strongholds in the New African System, the balance of forces between the two sides may widen again, even exceeding the previous ratio, reaching a huge disparity of four to one or five to one. This would be a disaster for the "pirate" fleet, which had been formed for less than half a year. Even if Fengyu has the ability to turn the tide, it will cause a lot of losses. Only such a regular fleet of Awa-Kers could not withstand such losses.

In this case, Fengyu made the decision to fight the opponent.
