The surviving guerrillas in the northwest and southwest regions also joined forces with some riot laborers and marched to the Miluo Plateau.

Because the governor was dead and his morale was completely lost, Howard and other remnant generals of the army had ghosts in their hearts, thinking about how to escape from Crotan, and they had no intention of facing the battle at all. As a result, the remnants of the second, third, and fourth armies could hardly form effective combat effectiveness, and in the ensuing defensive battle, they collapsed at the touch of a button, and deserted for thousands of miles.

In the city of Rheinston, the once bustling and lively neighborhood has become extremely depressed, and it takes half a day to see a few panicked citizens walking by on the cold streets. Shops are closed, markets are closed, and powerful and wealthy celebrities are dragging their families and fleeing the perilous city on transport planes at the airport.

Those who remained closed their doors and stayed inside and did not dare to go out. On the streets, robberies and smashing are frequent, the well-dressed police have long since disappeared, and various government departments are also closed.

The streets were a mess, with confetti and soot flying, rotting food, broken glass, abandoned pets, and even dirty poop.

In just one day's work, the originally orderly, clean and beautiful capital has become a lonely city in turmoil.

The news of Aldrich's death and the loss of ground of the Defence soon reached Ramsden's ears, and the long-awaited head of Harto Star knew it was time for him to come on and clean up the mess.

On the third day, he ordered the cruiser fleet to be ready, and on the other hand, he ordered to activate the large plasma cannon in Hatostar Harbor and target the rebel base in the North Pole.

In his opinion, under space-based weapons, the planetary army is a group of weak chickens and dogs. However, the facts gave him a resounding slap in the face, and the brigadier general, who was directly pumped, was deaf and blind, and completely fainted.

During the charging process of the plasma cannon, a module of the electromagnetic restraint system suddenly became abnormal, and the chaotic particle flow penetrated the magnetic field, destroying the structure of the accelerator and triggering a series of explosions.

The fire spread to the weapons defense platform attached to the Harto Star Harbor and had a tendency to spread to the Star Harbor Terminal. Ramsden had no choice but to order to disconnect from the weapon defense platform and order his troops to extinguish the fire and provide disaster relief.

It's just that something he didn't expect happened, some soldiers of the Xinggang garrison suddenly mutinied, occupied some important facilities of the military port, and opened the passage between the military port and the civilian port. Then, a large number of rebels disguised as fleeing civilians and merchants poured into the military port area and launched a fierce attack on the command unit.

In front of the influx of rebel troops, the dizzy Xinggang garrison retreated one after another, and the brigadier general fled in a hurry. He thought that he would be invincible by leading his soldiers on the battleship, and in the face of the powerful cruiser fleet, the rebels in Hato Star Harbor were a live target, maybe they could be arrogant for a while, but in the end, they would definitely be the ones who were eliminated.

Ramsden's idea was reasonable, his action was extremely swift, and the battle was successful, and he and a large number of starport garrisons boarded the battleship anchored at the dock smoothly.

Of course, the reason why it can be so smooth also has a lot to do with the cruiser squadron responsible for daily patrol tasks leading troops to rescue.

It turns out that almost every step of Ramsden's actions is under Marion's control.

Disconnecting from the orbital weapons defense platform, leading his men aboard the ship, and returning the cruiser squadron are all things Marion wants to see.

Just as Ramsden ordered the ships to forcibly disconnect the fixtures connecting the docks in various parts of the hull, a motley fleet suddenly burst out of the void not far away, and launched an attack on the cruiser squadron cruising around the starport with lightning speed.

Don't look at this as just a ragtag fleet, the strongest battleship is only a battleship class, and there are many old models from the past, but it is naturally easy to use against a cruiser squadron.

Soon, the cruiser squadron was destroyed, and most of the warships that had not had time to leave the dock were directly pressed against the chrysanthemums by the swarthy muzzles of the motley fleet.

The Commodore General's flagship, the Void Crimson, also wanted to break through with its powerful maneuverability, but several Charles Federation's Sea Dragon-class cruisers fired a salvo and directly smashed it into a sieve.

The ambitious Brigadier General Ramsden Adams did not escape his doom in the end, and also followed in Aldrich's footsteps. Perhaps, this is the goddess of fate's favor for the two of them, as a pair of rivals, no matter who is missing the two of them, the other will definitely feel lonely.

In the evening of the same day, the three Tang side, together with Marion, Virginia, and Claire, left the missile base and took a shuttle to Harto Star Port.

The liquidation of the remnants of the garrison had ended, and Marion's deputy, Vice Admiral Nord von Kármán, deputy commander-in-chief of the rebel army, and a group of fleet generals had been waiting at the entrance to the connecting passage for a long time.

Unlike the raunchy Marion, Nord von Kármán is a Hebrew descendant who pays great attention to personal image, although he is nearly 60 years old, his skin is well maintained, fair and ruddy, delicate and shiny, and it can be seen that he usually uses cosmetics less. What's even more rare is that as a Hebrew, especially Marion's deputy, he didn't inherit the former's quirks - a beard that he thought was sexy and MAN.

Tang Fang also smelled a faint scent of wormwood on him, and with a spotless military uniform, it gave people a very elegant feeling.

"Could it be that every bad old man has a neat and tidy little white-faced adjutant by his side?" Tang Fang suddenly felt that his thinking was a little floating. He thought of Jim Renaud and Matt Horner from StarCraft. Next, he looked at himself, and then at Aros and Hausen, and he didn't realize that there was a black line, these two old men were rougher than him......

After the greetings, under the leadership of Nord, the group came to a reception hall in the starport, through the window, through the searchlight of the starport, you can clearly see the warships moored on the dock.

"Now let's talk about the fleet, right?" Tang Fang glanced back at Marion and said.

Marion walked up to him, his eyes swept over the rows of warships on the dock, and his face was a little more remembrance: "This fleet has a total of 389 ships, of which 78 are old ships from the Garcia Uprising, and the rest, some from the Charles Federation, and some from the Empire. ”

"Like now?" Tang Fang said as he looked at the battleships on the dock that belonged to the cruiser fleet of Crotan.

Marion smiled: "Otherwise, why do you think I should fight a land battle with the Crotain Guard, Aldrich and Ramsden are at odds, only by slowly trying to defeat them individually, we can occupy Starport and take these Imperial warships into our pockets." ”

"You old fellow, it's really not easy." Tang Fang turned his head and glanced at him: "The Charles Federation is using you, why aren't you using them." ”

Marion sighed and said helplessly: "The road ahead is rugged and difficult, in the final analysis, the Garcia Resistance Army is just a weak force trying to survive in the cracks, we can't pin all our hopes on the Charles Federation, dignity and freedom must be fought for by ourselves, and we can never hope for the charity of others." Only by relying on the support of the Charles Federation on the one hand, and arming themselves with the power of the Empire on the other, will the rebel army continue to grow and eventually overthrow the tyranny of Kirclave I. ”

After listening to him, Tang Fang figured out all the points at once. No wonder the rebels wanted to fight a land war with Aldrich, it turned out that the old Viking was a drunkard who did not mean to drink, in addition to obtaining Crotan's manpower, technology, capital and other resources, his real target was Commodore Ramsden's garrison fleet.

The cruiser fleet in Harto Star Harbor has about 300 large and small warships, and if it is combined with the orbital defense platform, Marion's motley fleet has no chance of defeating. Therefore, he took advantage of Aldrich's disagreement with Ramsden and played a series of tricks.

The rebel army is no better than the Sulu Imperial fleet, if the latter attacked, Aldrich and Ramsden, no matter how bad the relationship is, in order to keep the black veil hat on their heads, they will put down their estrangement and unite with the outside world. As for a mere rebel army on the ground, in the eyes of the two of them, they are nothing more than a rabble.

The Governor will not bow his noble head and ask Ramsden for help. And Ramsden is naturally happy to see the enemy make trouble, and even lose his life, so that he can lead the fleet to quell the rebellion and gain fame in order to maximize his interests.

Go to the army to strategize, and attack the heart first. Marion took advantage of the psychology of the two, first laying out in the shadows, and then letting the flames of the uprising sweep through the interior of Crotan, and after cornering the ground defense forces, Ramsden was bound to appear.

As soon as his fleet leaves the starport, or as soon as the space-based plasma cannon is activated, the chess pieces secretly arranged by the rebel army will play a role and give Ramsden a big gift.

Tsk, tsk, one link after another, Marion's strategic planning can be described as quite detailed. Perhaps, the only flaw is Gabrirez's survival, which, of course, is an uncontrollable factor.

"What are your plans after that? I think the empire will not sit idly by, and Kane Rudolph will probably not give up. After being silent for a while, Tang Fang continued to ask.

"Integrate the fleet, absorb the best backbone, get the resources you need to grow, and then leave this star system and continue to wander in the stars to find the next target."

After hearing this, Tang Fang frowned slightly: "Aros killing Gabrireth should bring a lot of trouble to the fleet, right?" ”RS
