Chapter 34: Fleet Warfare (I)
"Noble senators, free people, be still and listen to me!" Far from the battlefield, on the planet Kloha, the capital of the Galactic Republic, a brightly dressed senator is presenting his opinion to the Senate, "The brutal blockade of the Trade Alliance has sparked a war between them and the Duchy of Beyeland, and the war has spread to the planet Anduin!" This is a civil war between the main members of the Galactic Republic, a betrayal of the 500 senators who started our business! It is a trampling on the Magna Carta! It is a blasphemy against our great republican spirit! ”
"That's right!" Representatives from the manufacturing coalition and the military-industrial complex banged on the table.
"I believe that a mighty Republic fleet should be formed at once, under the command of the Supreme Speaker, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Knights Templar! Interfere and isolate the warring parties! "The delegates who spoke were encouraged and spoke louder.
"Well said!" Fields of applause rang out, and the sound of knocking on the table was like a thundercloud rolling in the sky.
"!" The applause was mixed with angry shouts from the Trade Union legislators, their allies, all sorts of liberal legislators, and soy sauce senators who could not make a profit in the Republican fleet.
"This fleet should be stronger than any previous combined fleet of member fleets!" The volume of the rep was raised by another eight decibels.
“BRAVO! It's long overdue! So what are we waiting for? "Shh The senators were divided into two factions and had begun to spit on each other and throw teacups and notebooks at each other's heads.
"Of course~" the well-dressed representative smiled and took a breath, then straightened his collar, "the formation of this fleet requires the glorious and correct Senate to pay for it." Or, whoever pays for it. ”
"Warmongers!" A group of liberal parliamentarians yelled and pushed away the guards, rushed to the stage and knocked down the delegate who had spoken, and punched him in the handsome and frightened face, "Lackeys of the arms dealers!" ”
The deputies who supported the bill rolled up their sleeves and rushed up, and got into a scuffle with the liberal parliamentarians: "Kill you Virgins!" Nothing good little Bourgeois! ”
"Merchant of Death! Devil! There was chaos in the halls of the noble Senate, each shouting a different slogan, "Peace not war!" ”
"The war has come! Idiot! "Hang the arms dealer!" "Our Lady of Heavenly Punishment!" "Winter Horse Junior!" "Yukina Bichi!"
……
After the fruitless meeting, Marshal Tyrion pushed the door open and entered a spacious meeting room, sat down on the sofa and snorted heavily.
The owner of the parlor put down the pen in his hand, looked up at the annoyed marshal, shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Your Excellency the marshal, the parliamentary struggle is a long, serious and arduous process, just like the security war in the outer ring that we once participated in. And ~"
The master of the parlor stood up and walked past the large desk to the large, bright floor-to-ceiling window. He was about 60 years old, dressed in a black robe inlaid with gold and red ornaments and ribbons, and his appearance was noble and handsome, gentle and kind, and his blue eyes flashed from time to time with a free, witty and humorous brilliance, not at all like a 60-year-old man.
"And what? Senator Hasting? Marshal Tyrion gulped down the black tea from his cup.
"And the number of systems that agree with and support us is growing, and the free people are generally sympathetic to Bayerland's struggle to defend independence and freedom," Senator Hastings said without hesitation, "but we must also recognize the strength of the enemy and the complexity of the struggle." The fight against the trade union will be long, hard work, and we need to keep the faith and optimism in it. ”
"Say whatever you want...... "The marshal picked up the teapot and poured it into his mouth, "that little girl in a vase, you want to summon her back to the capital, right?" She might be of some use...... If you don't go up and fight. ”
"Why? Personally, I agree with the decision of Miss Sonia de la Mor to stay on the front line in Baierán," the senator turned from the bright window, "the king has the value of the king, and the chef has the ability to cook. If some members of parliament think that Miss Sonia is an insignificant mascot, I cannot but say that this judgment is too hasty. The battle that is now taking place in Bayerland and other systems will be important for the upcoming vote, when she returns to Chloha from the front lines...... Real perceptions and feelings make much more sense than empty words. ”
"Humph!" Marshal Tyrion snorted noncommittally.
"She is not needed for the Senate debates, and it may be necessary to return to the mixed capital to present Miss Lamour," Senator Hastings paused and looked at the Marshal with a smile, as if trying to read something from his expression, "If the Bayeran fleet can destroy a few more trade union capital ships, we will have a lot more arguments." Everyone knows that they have sunk an escort aircraft carrier, and that's good! ”
……
Relying on the advantage of speed, the pursuing fleet once again brought Titania into the attack.
"The enemy ship Titania is turning and sending carrier-based aircraft," although Berenhill's reconnaissance plane has a limited range, its speed is about twice the speed of the battleship, and it has already followed Titania and transmitted the battle report in real time, "It has been detected that 4 Trade Alliance X4 carrier-based aircraft have been released. ”
"Looks like they're not going to escape," Captain Mugel gently rubbed his pale blonde hair, "and the all-speed flight for the past few hours may have been an attempt to distance us from the battle, to take advantage of their naval guns, and to reorganize the remaining fighters." ”
"How is the captain going to deal with it?" Major Faphnir asked, standing beside the captain, smiling and bending slightly.
"Faphnir~ you asked knowingly," Captain Violet von Mügel glanced at the lieutenant with a smile, "I don't know how far they can use the N-neutron interference, but after all, they only have one mobile armor and a small number of carrier-based aircraft." Faphnir, go on the offensive and let them know that one or two advanced weapons don't make sense in front of a complete system! ”
"As you wish, Captain." The smile in the major's eyes vanished, and was replaced by a serious and determined look, "The carrier-based aircraft are dispatched and launched into the attack in three waves!" Keep your distance as the battleship makes a detour to the enemy's rear! ”
Brenhill, Helo, and Oscar accelerated with all their might, heading towards the stern of the turned Titania; At the same time, 8 Meteor carrier-based fighters, 8 Swordfish attack aircraft, and 8 villain bombers outflanked Titania's bow.
"The enemy fleet and carrier-based aircraft are unfolding! I surround this ship from both wings! The crew of the Titania reported to their commander, Colonel Machar, "This ship is at a disadvantage in speed and is about to be surrounded. ”
"Release 4 more X4 fighters to cover the ship, maintain the CAP position to cover the ship, and don't let the Bayeran carrier-based aircraft release torpedoes on our engines," Colonel Machar sat on the bridge with a non-confused expression, "Pick up Mandol for me." ”
