Before the departure of the main force, the scout fleet in charge of early warning work left the garrison one step ahead and carried out carpet reconnaissance along the airspace left and right of the main channel.

It was during this process that a Copernicus-class reconnaissance ship caught a suspicious situation, and a strange warship appeared on the way of the 44th Fleet. Fearing that the guerrilla fleet of the Sulu Empire would learn that the 44th Fleet would pass by, they set up an ambush on the front road, and the Copernicus-class reconnaissance ships released a large number of warp speed drones, extending the detection range of curvature fluctuations to 4 light years.

Strangely, the warp drones suddenly lost their target while tracking the strange warship, which made the people on the scout ship very depressed, and just as they were about to recover the scout drone and control the ship to move farther away, they suddenly detected a slight but dense curvature anomaly. When the staff directed the drones to switch from wide-area reconnaissance to directional reconnaissance mode, the data collected surprised everyone - a high-speed fleet of nearly 2,000 warships was moving at breakneck speed through the deep space area bordering the Ayalos-Coplin-Slandar unmanned area and approaching the hinterland of the Star Alliance.

The news frightened many, including the commander of the fleet, Mie Nakamura. That's not an enemy guerrilla fleet with only one or two hundred small ships, but two fleets!

What are those patrol fleets and those early warning equipment doing, so that 2,000 warships can unknowingly pass through the reconnaissance network of the two major uninhabited areas and enter the hinterland of the defense line? If it weren't for the 44th Fleet's reconnaissance ships stumbling upon them while tracking down an unfamiliar warship, God knows what would have happened.

The ordinary star system garrison navy has only 500 warships at most, and there are many outdated models, even with the addition of space-based defense platforms, it is absolutely impossible to resist the attack of 2,000 warships.

Of course, there is also a possibility that these 2,000 warships are a surprise force used by the enemy to penetrate deep behind enemy lines, cooperate with the Sulu Empire, and inflict heavy losses on the naval forces stationed near the Mubarak star system.

With the 44th, 53rd, and 87th fleets leaving their positions and the strength of the hinterland of the Mubarak Line reduced, David? If Conan can't find this strange force of 2,000 high-speed warships for the first time, what awaits the Star Alliance next is probably a fiasco.

Whether this fleet is targeting important units in the interior of the Covenant (such as the Sylvanas star system with the largest shipyard of the Covenant, such as the Duma star system where the country's top leaders gather, or the Mecca space station, a transit station for combat resources), or the surprise soldiers who carry out a sneak attack from behind, there is no doubt that once they are let go, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Mie Nakamura immediately sent an early warning message to the Naval Command, which had advanced to the no-man's land near the Mubarak star system, but she didn't wait for David? Conan's new order directly demanded that the fleet move to the path of the 2,000 warships and open a warp interception net.

Those 2,000 enemy ships were all high-speed warships, and with the mobility of the 44th Fleet, they could not catch up with each other at all, and if they missed the opportunity to intercept them because they waited for the new instructions from the headquarters, it would inevitably make the Covenant Navy passive.

She knew that her fleet could not be the enemy's opponent, and it could be seen from their sailing speed that it was not an ordinary fleet, but the elite of the elite of the Monya Empire, and it was likely to be the warship of Xudra's own, and with the combat strength of the 44th Fleet, this was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

But she knew very well that she had no choice, he had to do it for David? Conan wins time to react and win a chance for her compatriots at home, and if the sacrifice of the 44th Fleet can hold back 2,000 battleships, she would rather accept the fate of death.

ALTHOUGH SHE IS INDECENT, ALTHOUGH SHE HAS A BAD REPUTATION, ALTHOUGH SOME OFFICERS SCOLD HER FOR BEING A BIAO, OR EVEN A BUS, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER LOVE FOR THE STAR ALLIANCE, HER LOVE FOR THIS SYSTEM, AND HER LOVE FOR HER RELATIVES.

When the heavy crossbow-class light assault ships and the lance-class heavy assault ships came out of the line, drilled into the crevices of the warp speed interception net, and prepared to launch an attack on the enemy ships that were blocked from leaving the virtual space, the "Perseus" was on board.

A staff officer transmits the latest information from the forward reconnaissance ship to Mie Nakamura.

Her face was a little pale in the light of the electronic sandbox, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes outlined a flower, and there were faint nasolabial folds on the sides of her mouth.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, a staff officer reminded: "General, the latest data shows that the first stop of those 2,000 warships should be the Dillard star system, where the 'Morning Star Forge' is the lair. ”

Another staff officer said: "Tang Fang is now in the United Kingdom of Turanks, and the person in charge of the defense of the Dillard star system is Chen Jian, who has more than 700 pirate warships under his command, plus a relic battleship 'Quan Angel'...... I thought, should we withdraw those interceptors? ”

He only said that the interceptor ship should be withdrawn, and his words were very subtle, but the meaning was not subtle. The withdrawal of the interceptor ships means giving up the interception mission and turning a blind eye to the 2,000 warships, so that the 44th Fleet does not have to face a major enemy, and they can save their lives.

A colonel with a very serious alopecia areata said in a deep voice: "If I am not mistaken, this assault fleet of 2,000 warships should be the Xudra fleet in Halifax. ”

Anyone knows Halifax? Stewart became infamous by the Tang Dynasty and became a demon spurned by every righteous person. Captain Tang even destroyed Faraday's research institute, which ruined His Royal Highness's years of hard work. There is an indissolvable hatred between the two. According to the news from within the Monya Empire, it was Halifax, the 13th prince of the Monya Empire, who led Xudra to the front? Stewart.

Judging from the route of this fleet and the grievances between the Tang side and Halifax, it is clear that they want to take advantage of the opening of the Carylland-Lutonado No Man's Land War to take advantage of the chaos to raid the Dillard star system, and cooperate with Zanggowell to uproot the "Morning Star Casting".

Because the coup d'état in the United Kingdom of Tulanx has nothing to do with the war between the Star Alliance and Sulu and Monya, and the 44th Fleet has been in virtual space for the past seven days, the command did not inform them of what happened to Kehanos, including Mie Nakamura, everyone in the 44th Fleet did not know that the Tang side had killed Zang Gowell and defeated the Lionheart Independent Fleet.

Therefore, the clever staff officers thought that this was a desperate plan devised by Kirlclove I and Zangowell.

"Tsk, Xudra VS Apollo Pirates, there's a good show next." Is the alopecia areata staff officer Pompeii? Clarke's friend, at this time, he was naturally happy to witness the destruction of the Dillard star system.

In fact, not only him, but many politicians and businessmen hope that the "Morning Star Casting" will be destroyed.

"Let the Apollo Pirates drag Xu Dra, just to buy time for the headquarters to deploy troops, the surname Tang is so arrogant, and now it's time to pay the price for what he did in the past."

Staff Officer Areata's gaze was particularly cold, and a mocking smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. Although the others did not hate Tang Fang as much as he did, they did not regard the "Morning Star Casting" as their own, and since Xu Dela's goal was the "Morning Star Casting", they were certainly not obliged to risk their lives to help a foreigner.

This is the thought of almost everyone next to the operational command platform, except for Mie Nakamura.

"I'm so ashamed of your ideas," she said. ”

"Whoever Xudra is targeting, it is invading the territory of the Covenant. Those pirates were born and raised in the Star Alliance, and although they were guilty, they were authentic Star Covenant people...... And those workers in the Kristiel Industrial Park, if Xudra is allowed to pass smoothly, what will be the fate of those people? ”

"We are soldiers, and our duty is to defend the country and the people. We are not politicians and cannot act on the basis of profit. If a country's military takes the supremacy of interests as its motto, then the country will never have a future. General Leighton once said, 'The army should be a nation's shield, not a butcher's knife in the hands of politicians.' If we give up resistance today because Xudra's goal is to be the Morning Star Casting and let Halifax set foot on our soil, how will we differ from the armies of the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire? ”

"Have you ever thought about how many civilians will die in the Covenant once these 2,000 warships defeat the Apollo Pirates and move into the interior of the Covenant, and who can guarantee that there will be no family members in there? We can't afford to lose this war, and we can't afford to gamble, we must keep these 2,000 warships out of the defense line, otherwise we will be the sinners of this country. ”

Those staff officers didn't expect Mie Nakamura to say so many things in one breath, and they didn't expect that she, who was skilled in politics, would say such honest and loyal words.

"I know what you're thinking, and wonder how a bad woman like me became worried about the country and the people, instead of fighting for power...... Because, I love this country, more than anyone else. The struggle for power is my life, and the Star Alliance is my home...... If there is no home, how can there be life, and if there is no home, how can there be happiness. ”

"I'm sorry, I was wrong...... "The older staff officer at the beginning finally knew what kind of person Mie Nakamura was at this moment.

Two brothers can blush, they can quarrel over disagreement, but what will they do if outsiders want to raze their courtyard and kill their relatives? It is a family affection that blood is thicker than water, breaking bones and tendons.

The Monya Empire, the Sulu Empire, the Phoenix Empire...... The people will not regard the country as their home, and for those people, the country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the grass and trees are especially deep.

But for the people of the Star Alliance, the country is home, and the family is ...... pretending to be their lives. Without a home, there is no life, no happiness, and no tomorrow.

Several other staff officers similarly bowed their heads.

Mie Nakamura is right, they are soldiers who defend their families and country, not mercenary politicians.

Becoming a soldier is their choice, not forced to make a living.

"Turn on the radio channel." After saying this, she walked to the front from the operational command platform, looked directly at the staff in the equipment pool on the first floor, and said in a non-excited, very calm tone: "My home is in a small mountain town in the Hantek region of Numa Star, which is a very bitter cold place, after the war between the countries of the Hillenbuir Region and the Jupiter Expeditionary Force came to an end, many young people left there to live in a more comfortable big city, only the elderly refused to leave because of nostalgia for their homeland, so they became a community doctor, a sheriff, One pastor chose to stay. ”

"The town is getting smaller and more deserted, but the new map that the government publishes every year can find the town, and every month shuttles carrying medical supplies and household items land in the square, which is covered with snow or dead leaves...... They didn't leave a holiday behind, they didn't forget anyone in the town. ”

"And my father was the doctor who chose to stay in the town...... The climate in Hunter is always so cold, people are used to hiding in houses with fireplaces, baking warm fires, old women hooking knitwear with chisels, old men holding small square glasses full of whiskey, talking about family shortcomings, or national events that have little to do with their lives. There is an airport outside the town, which is the only air link between the town and the outside world, and there are five regular departures a day that stop here for a while. Later, part of the line in the canton of Khanecke was sold to a private airline, including five flights through the town. ”

"Because the town is dying and there are very few people on this train anymore, the airline is planning to reduce the number of flights from five to one per day for the sake of efficiency...... However, they didn't do that, just shortened the 5 to 2. The commissioner in charge of the feasibility of the report found that the daughter of the community doctor in the town would take the train every morning to the nearest city's St. Paul's secondary school, and then take the train home in the evening. ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal to reduce the number of flights to one, and the girls can stay in boarding school and continue their education, but the CEO of the airline said to the board of directors, 'If I were that doctor, I would like to see my daughter every day.'" If I were a resident of that town, I would like to see her bright smiling face every day, I don't want to see our flights loaded with money, I want them to be full of the warmth of home and the sweetness of love. ’”

Mie Nakamura was silent for a while, and said in a slightly choked voice, "I'm that girl......"

…………

One ray after another flashed around the warp interception line constructed by the Scimitar-class light interceptor ship and the flywheel-class heavy interceptor ship, and the pitch-black paint gave the battleship a gloomy and cold texture, and the flickering signal lights reflected the nine hideous snake heads on the side of the ship, like the gaze of the demon god of hell.

The 44th Fleet's group of ships was like a broadsword piercing the abyss, with the whimper of the wind and the roar of fire, submerging into the darkness that stretched into the sea.

Shouting is an inspiration, and telling is also a strength...... It's cosy, it's warm.

This healing power of the mind can overcome pain and equally drive out fear.

…………

The hexagonal pulsed vortex of the wings of the "Quetzalcoatl" radiated light tides of different phases, and the energy grids behind the dragon's head lit up one after another, and a fan-shaped photon shock beam swept through the darkness in front of the battleship, swallowing dozens of battleships, including the "Perseus".

Mie Nakamura held the handrail in front of her with both hands, sighed, and said softly, "I can only help you get here......"

The elderly staff officer smoothed the slightly wrinkled corners of his clothes and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

She said calmly, "Because I think he thinks of the Covenant as his second home." ”

"You are a noble person, and I apologize to you for my previous incomprehension."

"I'm glad to hear that kind of compliment at the last minute."

She said she was relieved......

In the eyes of many people, Mie Nakamura is completely a with no bottom line, and there is not a company of men in the army who have slept with her, and there is also a reinforced platoon.

But this is such a woman, but she does many things that men can't do.

She knows better than many what the word military means, and she knows better than many what true patriotism is.

A woman like her is more manly than many men, more husbands than many husbands.

………………

Halifax smashed the control panel of the seat, and he even threw his scarlet cloak to the ground.

More than 1,000 of the 2,000 warships remained...... In front of them was a starry cemetery made up of the wreckage of battleships.

The 44th Fleet took the absolute initiative and used interceptor ships to force them out of virtual space, but the result of this war ended in total annihilation.

Not a single battleship fled, not a single battleship retreated, not a single one regretted it.

Hüdra won the war, demonstrating their strength, but at the cost of exposing his presence and losing the best opportunity to raid Dillard. If Halifax insists on going according to the original plan, he may be intercepted by the Legion of Glory before he reaches "Dillard".

They can easily wipe out Mie Nakamura's 44th Fleet, but if the opponent is replaced by the Glory Legion, the end will definitely be miserable. It is true that the Covenant Navy has not fought a war for many years, but judging from the performance of the 44th Fleet, they have a spirit that the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire fleets do not have-unity!

Yes, it is unity. Unity is strength.

13 The prince was not a reckless person, as the highest governor of the Monya Empire in charge of the military's scientific research department, he had a calm and wise mind.

The anger quickly subsided, and with the help of the maid, the scarlet cloak returned to his shoulders, and the control panel on the seat was replaced with a new screen by the maintenance staff.

He sat back in the chair, which symbolized power and status, and said to the generals standing at the front of him at the operational command platform: "Withdraw."

It's short, just one word. (To be continued.) )
