The battle begins
Emma Empire, Adiria Domain, Obiel Constellation, Felle System
Rear Admiral Balbas Mellon, Commander of the 107th Fleet of the Imperial First Fleet, was chatting with his lieutenant and staff member Shores on his flagship, the Vangu-class supercarrier Northern.
"Shores, why do you think the military department will delegate command to the Tashmongun family this time? And also dispatched the absolute elite main force of the Imperial Navy, the First Fleet? Major General Balbas was puzzled by this. The command of the major elite main forces of the Imperial Navy is all in the hands of the Imperial Military Department, and the five major Elector Families must be appointed by the Imperial Military Department if they want to command the major elite main forces except for their own family fleets. Since the battle with Atius of Jupiter, the Imperial Military Department has always firmly controlled the command in its own hands, and any major action must be approved by the Imperial Military Department, otherwise it will be a crime of disobedience.
"My lord, in fact, the truth in it is very simple." Shores smiled.
"You also know the words of the head of the Tashmenggong family, this time the Tashmenggong family is probably really desperate. After all, there is such a male heir in his own lineage, if he is killed by a family that does not open his eyes. There are only two fates for the Tashmenggong family: one is to find a way to find an illegitimate child, or the beautiful head of the family to find a marriage with equal status, in short, to have a male heir. The other is to take the initiative to withdraw from the five elector families and let the substitute family take the top. However, in the second case, the Tashmongun family's business is expected to suffer a major blow. He gave Balbas an analysis.
"But why ... Oh! I remember, is it the rule of the five elector families in the imperial holy scriptures? I remember saying that the five Elector families had to have a male heir in the lineage, and they had to be the top families in the entire empire to be elected as the Electors. As soon as Balbas asked, he knew that he was confused, so he quickly remedied.
"Exactly! If the human factor in this operation leads to the death of the young master of the Tashmeng Gong family, I think the entire empire will probably face a purge storm. What's more, this kind of behavior will touch the sensitive nerves of the five Elector families, who will think that if the male heir of the Tashmenggong family is murdered this time and they don't care, it will send a wrong signal to the other families: you can also use this method against their families in the same way. After all, the male heir of each elector family must serve in the army for a year and a half as long as he reaches adulthood, and there are too many uncertain factors on the battlefield, and it is very easy to do it. So they will join forces. Shores said that this was interrupted by Balbas.
"You're saying they're going to join forces? Did I hear me right? Will the five elector families unite to work together with the outside world? Balbas asked incredulously.
"Yes, sir! Don't look at the five major elector families, sometimes they will fight each other in private for the sake of family interests, but once their bottom line is touched, even the Kaezo family and the Kadol family, who are not against the Tashmungon family, will unite with them. Because this has touched on the foundation of the family! And my lord, didn't you find out? The death of each male heir of the five electoral families who served in the army was jointly investigated by the military police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the military military police of the Imperial Military Department. The implication of this is self-evident! I'm sure to tell the adults that this time the little master of the Tashmenggong family didn't have an accident, but once the accident is found to be a deliberate black hand... The empire is about to usher in the most horrific purge in nearly a thousand years! Because it has been too long, too long since anyone dared to provoke the five elector families, once there is a provocateur, they will be jointly attacked and suppressed! So this time the military department had to compromise in the face of pressure. Shores dissected the meaning behind the uncharacteristically handing over command to the generals of the Tashmongun family to Balbás.
“。。。 Shores, I think this time we small families should not get involved in this kind of high-end family game. Anyway, we are soldiers, and soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty! Isn't it? Balbas wiped the cold sweat from his head and said to his adjutant.
"Your Excellency, all fleets are in place. Give the order! The arrival of the herald interrupted their conversation.
"Send a contact signal to the Tashmungon fleet, asking the other party to turn on the inducing force field on the side of the POS, and we will be sent into the field by the Titans!" Balbás gave the order.
"Yes!"
"Inform Major General Balbas that the battle plan has changed. Let them send the regular fleet over first, and then enter the overdue troops after the regular fleet engages the hibernators! "General Bock suddenly changed his plans on the fly.
"General, why did you change your plan?" The adjutant next to him asked puzzled.
"Have you thought about it? The speed and volume of the jump of the super flag? Admiral Bock asked the adjutant rhetorically.
"I see, I'm being stupid." The adjutant suddenly realized.
To explain here, the larger the size of the ship, the greater its inertia. And due to their size, all ships in New Eden are based on the larger the size, the slower the jump speed. As the ultimate force in New Eden, Super Flagships are naturally the largest in size, so their jump speed is also the slowest.
"General! A call from the commander of the Imperial fleet! The herald came running again.
"Read!"
"Hello, Dear General Bock. Rear Admiral Balbas Mellon, commander of the 107th Detachment of the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy, is under your command in this operation. As for your sudden change in your original battle plan, it is not clear at the moment. If you feel that our jump speed is slow and you can't enter the battlefield in time, why don't you induce your unit to assemble the POS in advance and then enter the battlefield in a complete state to crush the enemy army? It is true that turning on the inducing force field near the battlefield can make the appearance of our department sudden, but in this way, the state of our department is not the most complete! ”
Rear Admiral Balbas lowered his posture in his call, and his words revealed respect for Admiral Bock, and there was no arrogance towards the other fleets of the main fleet of the Imperial Fleet. At the end of the message, Major General Balbas expressed his confusion at the sudden change in the battle plan of Senior General Bock and raised his own questions for an explanation of his own.
