Chapter 222: Growing Tensions
Just when Zhang Hai was picking out the situation of the Barlow Empire, he saw the first mate Wang Kang said quite proudly: And rest assured, there are extremely chaotic Youshi Galaxy regions around the Barlow Empire, and those small and medium-sized empires in the Youshi Galaxy area are perennial wars but have not been able to achieve any results, although they have been quiet for a few years recently, but I heard that they fought again half a year ago, and this time this war I heard that there are eight small and medium-sized empires involved, and there is a medium-sized empire between this war-torn area and the Barlow Empire. At the same time, the war in this chaotic region had no small impact on the economy of the Barlow Empire.
And after the full-scale confrontation between our Kunlong Empire and the Orca Empire begins, we will definitely not let the situation around the Barlow Empire be too quiet. Just when Zhang Hai and the five of them were talking about the surrounding situation, Captain Feng Qi looked at the sky outside the porthole of the command room in a blink of an eye, and found that the sky outside was already full of stars, and then he said to everyone: It's already night, let's rest early, we just arrived in Haipuxing, it's better to fall down the jet lag early, after all, we don't know how long we will stay here at Haipuxing this time.
After listening to Feng Qi's proposal, Zhang Heng, deputy of the sailor battalion, yawned and said to Feng Qi: Don't say it, after your reminder, I really feel a little sleepy, but the current logistics supply operation is still ongoing, and the five of us must still take turns to command on duty. After Zhang Heng said the problem of duty, Zhang Hai and the five of them immediately divided the shifts, and after determining the order of duty, the people on duty stayed, and those who did not have duty tasks quickly returned to their cabins to rest. After the other three went back to rest, the first mate Wang Kang sat on the control console in the command room, and next to him sat the second officer He Hai, who was on daily duty.
Zhang Hai sat at the Eight Immortals Table and chatted warmly with the commanders of the 5th and 6th Companies of the Lucky Cat Sailor Battalion who were on duty at the moment about the latest scientific and technological progress in land mecha and the pioneer technology being developed in various well-known advanced laboratories in the Kunlong Empire, and at the same time discussed the possible impact of these new technologies on the current land mecha tactics.
Just when all the departments on the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier were on duty in an orderly manner, the logistics department of the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier was also working with the personnel of the logistics department of the Tiger Ben Security Company to carry out a series of replenishment and hull maintenance and repair work on the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier, after all, the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier had just participated in an encounter with high combat intensity, but compared with the other starships of the Sixth Task Force, the maintenance and repair work of the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier was already very easy. After all, the Tempest and the Storm Cruisers played a key role in the operation of the left wing starship cluster of the Sixth Task Force, and correspondingly, these two cruisers also suffered a lot of damage and wear and tear in high-intensity operations, so the logistics department at this time also put a lot of effort into the maintenance and repair of these two cruisers.
At the same time, the two brand-new frigates that had just been deployed by the superior were also replenished to the starship cluster of the Sixth Task Force in time to replace the two frigates that had been heroically sunk in the previous encounter, and the crews of the two frigates that had sunk were also happily lined up to receive the new frigates under the leadership of the commander. However, the busiest on the scene were the two battlecruisers and two battleships docked in the center of the Sixth Task Force Starship Cluster Array.
At the beginning of the encounter, these large starships engaged in a long artillery battle with the central battle formation of the 805th Brigade, and held on until the support of the left flank cluster where the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier was located, and was able to completely defeat the large starship group in the central battle formation of the 805th Brigade, and by the end of the battle, only 60% of the outer armor belts of the two battlecruisers and two battleships were intact, and the other 40% of the armor belts had long been shattered by enemy artillery fire in the battleAt this time, the two logistics ships of the 6th Task Force, with the cooperation of the personnel of the logistics department, were working hard to repair the armor belts and electromagnetic shield modules on the two battle cruisers and the two battleships.
And witnessing the current hot scene, it is the officers of the command of the first operation department of the tiger security company who have just arrived at the ground airport here, because the sixth task force has very beautifully wiped out the 805th brigade of the iron claw security group, and has made a good start in the current situation of the continuous dark war between the Kunlong Empire and the killer whale empire, which is of milestone commemorative significance, and has also accumulated more valuable combat data, so the deputy director of the first operation department who led the team this time is the deputy director of the first operation department. The Taizhong doctor who went up from the fourth grade, Duke Wang Kai.
At this time, the officers of the headquarters of the 1st Operations Department of the Huben Security Company led by Duke Wang Kai were on the battleship Jianzhu where the regimental headquarters of the 6th Task Force was located, together with the commander of the 6th Task Force, Marquis Zheng Fen, and the regimental Zhenfu Marquis Wang Li, discussing the various battle data summarized after the review of the encounter with the 805th Brigade in front of the brightly lit and busy and orderly airport.
While Duke Wang Kai was discussing the tactical details of the encounter with the regimental commander Marquis Zheng Fen and the regimental commander Marquis Wang Li, all the starship clusters of the Sixth Task Force in the entire ground airport were also seizing the time to repair, and in the brightly lit airport, the personnel of the logistics department were quickly repairing and maintaining the starship cluster of the Sixth Task Force with high efficiency, and in the busy atmosphere in the airport, the generals of the combat department of each starship of the Sixth Task Force were carrying out the daily duty readiness plan as usual.
Nearly two hours later, the first mate Wang Kang and the sailor battalion commander Zhang Hai were already sitting indifferently at the Eight Immortals table in the command room, chatting and drinking tea, while looking out the window at the central city of Haipuxing, where thousands of lights were lit. After a while, the first mate Wang Kang said to the sailor battalion commander Zhang Hai: This time our Lucky Cat aircraft carrier has a good record, have you calculated how much merit our Lucky Cat aircraft carrier can get after this encounter?
After hearing Wang Kang mention the matter of the award of the title, the sailor battalion commander Zhang Hai didn't think about it, and said directly: This is definitely difficult for us to calculate accurately now, but the approximate reward range is easier to guess, don't look at it, according to the scale of this encounter, each soldier on our Lucky Cat aircraft carrier will almost be rewarded with 30,000 merit points, after all, last time our Sixth Task Force had already defeated the First Brigade of the Iron Claw Security Group at the gate of the Yongtong Building on the Root Star and retreated. Later, in this encounter, the 805th Brigade of the Iron Claw Security Group was completely wiped out, and the 20,000 merit points were completely affordable.
However, thanks to the significance of these two battles fought by our Sixth Task Force, you know, this is equivalent to our Kunlong Empire's army fighting a ground battle and a starship battle with the army of the Orca Empire respectively, and although the scale of the conflict is not large, it is only a regimental-level battle, but the symbolic significance is relatively significant, and at the same time, after the regimental army of the Iron Claw Security Group suffered two consecutive defeats in the hands of our Sixth Task Force, this is a great blow to the prestige of the Orca Empire.
Don't you see that the small and medium-sized empires in the traditional sphere of influence of the Orca Empire have shown varying degrees of restlessness recently, among these small and medium-sized empires that were originally vassal to the Orca Empire, I don't know how many of them are secretly communicating with our Kunlong Empire. This shows that our Sixth Task Force has made a good start this time, and the significance is still quite important, so ah, I think that the merit value that our Sixth Task Force will be rewarded this time will definitely not be less, but I don't know how much merit will be rewarded this time, anyway, Duke Wang Kai, the deputy minister of our First Operations Department, has personally led the team to our Sixth Task Force, which shows that our Sixth Task Force has really played well this time.
