Chapter 685: Attacking Ranker in a big way
"Audience friends, what you see now is the fleet of the Imperial fleet marching at high speed in the border area."
After announcing bad news at the Royal New Year's luncheon, His Majesty Zhang Shusheng came close to announcing that the Empire would retaliate against the enemy with a thunderous counterattack.
In the simultaneous live broadcast, the picture transmitted from the distant Sino-Lanzhou border made every audience in front of the TV reluctant to leave.
Live broadcast frontline operations, this is something that has not been done for many years.
Officials are also reluctant to broadcast the war live in peacetime, because the war is always full of uncertainties, and it is likely that there will be heavy casualties on their side, and if such bad news is seen by the people, it is extremely unfavorable.
But this time, the Empire's powerful expeditionary fleet was unusually well prepared, occupying a very favorable ambush point, just stuck on the way back from the Frankish Duchy's sneak attack fleet.
According to multiple radar detections on the border, the fleet of the Rankers on the run has been captured.
The more than 70 warships on the screen that were frantically fleeing for their lives made all the Chinese people's blood boil.
Wreck them, be sure to wreck them!
The screen is divided into two screens, one screen shows the sneak attack fleet of the Duchy of Rank, which is frantically fleeing for its life, and the other half screen shows the even more mighty Imperial fleet that is gathering and pursuing.
"You should see that we have nearly three times as many warships as the enemy, and once we catch up with these executioners of the Principality of Rank, we will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on them."
The host and the military colonel are explaining the situation on the screen, and this kind of live and real-time broadcast of the battlefield is the most exciting.
Compared with the military exercises or military programs in Pingyue, the war plots in the film and television, and the live broadcast of the war, although the fierce battle scenes of blood and fire, life and death were not immediately seen, it gave people a more spiritual shock.
The unknown of the battle, the hatred of the enemy, the strong confidence in our army, and the desire to see the incomparably enjoyable battle scene at once are intertwined, and it is the most touching to the hearts of the people.
At this time, not only the spectators on the three planets of the empire's homeland were paying attention, but even the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary fleet were also extremely nervous, full of complicated feelings about the upcoming battle.
"Vice Minister Cai, everyone is a little nervous."
When Sun Xiwu saw the report below, he couldn't help frowning slightly, the big battle was imminent, and the soldiers who didn't know about it asked for war one after another, and they were eager to take out the posture of dying with the enemy to fight.
Patriotic enthusiasm and fighting emotions were mobilized, but Sun Xiwu was a little worried about the next battle.
"Although we have 205 capital ships, the enemy has only 75 capital ships, and the balance of forces is almost three to one in terms of overall superiority. However, although there is a huge disparity in strength, after all, unlike three warships against one warship, we still have to avoid the situation of chasing the enemy and running sheep. ”
Qin Baijiang clenched his fists and said, when making a plan, he was most worried about the situation of grazing sheep all over the slope.
Cai Yi smiled and said: "You don't have such a heavy psychological burden, it's enough to be able to destroy a few battleships and give the people an errand."
Of course, according to His Majesty's intentions, we must chase them and beat them crying and shouting, which is what Your Majesty and I, you, and even hundreds of millions of people are most willing to see. ”
"Then chase them a lost dog."
Sun Xiwu slammed his fist on the table, making a loud noise, but he said what the three of them wanted.
Cai Yi said earnestly: "Your Majesty's mobilization of two-thirds of the empire's fleet this time is to attack Ranke on a large scale.
Our battleship factory has 150 battleships in store for sale to the Orion Alliance, and the situation could worsen if this passage along the Ranke border to the Orion Alliance is not opened, and the Orion Alliance is unable to obtain these battleships.
Moreover, the Knock Merchant Alliance and the Longshan Empire began to fight in depth, which also made this war full of variables, if we don't take the opportunity to attack Rank, tear off a piece of meat when it is the weakest and most chaotic, we must suffer in the end.
We need territory, we need living planets, we need mining stars, and we need to sell our battleships to make them fight more excitingly.
Now that the Lanks have the support of the Silvermoon Empire behind them, and the Longshan Empire has begun to drag out the battle of the Nok Merchant Alliance, relying on the Orion Alliance and some small and medium-sized countries alone is bound to be at a disadvantage in the long run, and providing them with a large number of warships can make them fight more exciting and chaotic, which is more beneficial to us. ”
"In the past, World War I and World War II were fought so wonderfully, the United States and we both fished in troubled waters, and we became the biggest winners in the end.
This time, the chaos in the southwest star field is likely to turn the entire southwest star field of the Milky Way upside down."
"Report, 15 minutes of contact with the right flank of the enemy ship group is expected."
The radar officer appeared on the virtual call and reported loudly, interrupting the conversation between the three men.
"Very well, ready for battle."
Soon, Cai Ye and the three of them saw the latest situation map.
A thick red arrow is speeding through the edge of the Lost Realm near the borderline, while another yellow arrow is also moving fast.
Judging from the intersection, it is indeed only about 10 minutes before the collision.
At the same time, this picture of the situation also appeared in front of the imperial audience on televisions, computers, and virtual screens.
"Quick, look at it and catch up, it's good, sneak attack from the side, beat them." Countless people thought like this, and even the vast number of imperial officers and soldiers who watched the live broadcast were extremely nervous. "I used to only know that martial arts training was intoxicating, and it turned out that the battlefield was so desirable."
In the new barracks, Hu Wenxuan, who had reached the strength of a military general, felt more and more that his choice was not wrong, and his decision to sign up for the army was right.
At five minutes, Cai Ye gave the order.
"Order, the main gun of the first attack cluster will start charging, and the second attack cluster will start charging in three minutes." Charging the main cannon is a relatively slow process, even if it is the advanced main gun technology of the Chinese Empire, it takes about three minutes to complete the charge.
It is very necessary to recharge in advance to ensure the sudden appearance of the first round of firepower.
"Everyone, pay attention to the screen, our fleet will soon encounter the enemy's sneak attack fleet, and a big battle is about to break out."
In the live TV program, the military colonel also suddenly spoke, ordinary people can't see it, but he can know from the light change in the position of the main gun of the fleet battleship that it is the battleship charging.
"Our main guns are already being charged, and it only takes 10 salvos of the main guns to knock out a tenth of a moon, this is the power of the main guns, it only takes 50 battleships to shoot at the moon at the same time, and it only takes one salvo to completely destroy the moon."
……
"General Mungo, why don't we attack the hinterland of the Chinese?"
On the flagship of the Rankers' sneak attack fleet, a newest Type G battleship, a rear admiral is questioning a Vice Admiral Ranke.
"I also have a last resort."
Mungo was the commander of the sneak attack, and after completing the sneak attack mission brilliantly, he originally wanted to command this fleet to destroy the Chinese guerrilla fleet.
75 capital ships, which is no longer the scale of the previous petty fights.
Since the Duchy of Ranke received a 'gift' of warships and technology from a certain family of the Silvermoon Empire through the space gate of the capital star, the entire Duchy of Lank seemed to have been rejuvenated.
A steady stream of fleets headed for the front line, and brand-new G-type battleships appeared in border battles with the Nok Merchant Alliance, the Orion Alliance, and nearly 10 small countries, large and small.
Up to now, the Principality of Ranke is still guarding its 12 living planets, more than 50 mining stars, and a total of more than 200 planets including uninhabited planets.
Although these barren planets cannot produce economic value, they are excellent means of defense in the war years, and some planets with good terrain conditions are selected to form a defensive circle, relying on planetary defense guns and fleets to delay the enemy's attack.
"It's a pity, otherwise we would have been able to make a great military achievement."
Although the Principality of Ranke is weak, even if it is on the verge of destroying the country, it will be a huge profit.
Therefore, the Principality still attaches great importance to the Lost Star Domain at present, and it may be attacked by a large army at any time.
However, now is clearly not the time.
"This is an order from the new Minister of Military Affairs of the Principality, asking me to rush immediately to the front line of the battle with the Nok Merchant Alliance, where the war is tight."
Meng Ge opened the virtual device in front of him, and a person appeared on it, it was none other than the core member of a giant family from the Silvermoon Empire, the new Minister of Affairs.
It is these people who have entered the core of the power of the principality who will sooner or later completely empty the principality in the future.
Mungo often wondered if the king of the principality was betraying his country by doing so.
However, those obviously did not take his turn to think about it, and now what he had to do was not to be destroyed by the enemy and hold the defensive line.
"Are we going to give up this starry sky?"
When the major general saw it, he was immediately stupid, according to the order of the Minister of Military Affairs, not only did he temporarily suspend the exploration of the Lost Star Field, but even a barren star field close to the Lost Star Field in Rank's territory had to be abandoned, and the defense line should be retreated to the nearest B-level life planet, which is also the closest life planet to the Lost Star Field, which is equally important to the Principality of Ranke, although it is only B-level, but it is one of the 12 life planets.
"The Chinese's offensive ability is limited, leave the barren starry sky to them, wait for us to slow down and take the Lost Star Domain in one fell swoop."
Mungo said.
The two then chatted a few more words, and Mongo was ready to go and rest for a while, there was still a dozen days to go from here to the front line of the battle with the Nok Merchant Alliance, and without the jump gate, he could only rely on the spaceship to slowly snail.
Not long after he fell asleep, he dreamed that he commanded this detachment with a good lineup and made great achievements on the front line, destroying one of the enemy's flagships in one fell swoop.
Subsequently, he dreamed that he was surrounded by countless applause and flowers, that he had become a hero of the Duchy of Ranke, and that he had even finally reached the heights of power.
"That's not right!!"
Mongo jerked to his feet, and where there were big victories, where there were flowers and applause, there were only crazy cacophony sirens.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!"
Mungo quickly turned on the communicator in his bedroom, and a picture immediately picked up.
"My God, this, what is this......"
On the screen, the dense battleship is approaching at high speed, the main gun in the belly of the battleship is shining with the light of death, and the enemy ship is about to enter the firing range.
