Chapter 536: Timetable
Such a result is undesirable for the top brass of the Sulu Empire, for them, the Ayaros-Copling-Slandar no-man's land is the most ideal battlefield, so it is impossible for Harrington to recklessly send 2 fleets to attack "Dillar", at most half of the troops, or even less.
Soon, a well-informed media person revealed another piece of news that Byron was not in "Dillard", and had rushed to "Jakarta Pur" with Captain Tang a few days ago to inspect the business activities of the "Morning Star Casting" branch, and the two deputies Stephen Su and Chen Jian were responsible for commanding 500 pirate warships. What makes people feel strange is that three days before Harrington Harris launched a sneak attack, the two suddenly led the main force of the fleet to leave "Dillard" and disappeared.
Some people suspect that the two are traitors, and some people wonder if they led the main force of the pirate fleet to leave because of someone's ploy to divert the tiger, combined with what the Albert faction "Apollo" pirate fleet has done recently in the Ayaros-Coplin-Slandal no man's land, this is very likely.
More people are looking at Jakarta Pur, wondering how the Morning Star Casting family will react when they find out about it.
"Tang Fang is under a lot of pressure now, I don't know what kind of Cheng dΓΉ will be in a hurry, just hold on."
Some people worry that this is a heavy blow to him. Rigidity is easy to break, and this sentence applies to all young people.
"Hmph, you deserve it! You cannot live if you have done your own iniquity. The so-called gun shoots the first bird, I don't understand such a simple truth, this is the end of making enemies everywhere. β
"It's, it's, what about having money? If you have money, you don't have to be X, and no one in the Star Alliance dares to touch him, which doesn't mean that stronghold forces like Harrington Harris don't dare to touch him. People, it's not good to be too public. β
Some people gloated, thinking that he was in the limelight for a while during this time, and it was time to suppress and suppress him, after all, he was a foreigner.
"He won't just give up, the winds and waves in the Mengya Empire have come, and now he has just lost some things outside his body, which is nothing compared to his life, as the saying goes, the green mountains are not afraid of no firewood, as long as the person is fine, there is always a chance to make a comeback, not to mention that he still has the 'Morning Star', and the 800 billion in the account should be fine."
"That's right, the poorest are just asking for food, and if you don't die, you will always turn over."
There are also people who wonder what he will do, start all over again, or choose to move and leave the place of right and wrong in "Dillar"?
Reporters from some media organizations stationed in "Jakarta Pur" immediately called the hotel where Tang Fang was staying, hoping to obtain some inside information or interview channels. The reply given by the hotel was that Tang Fang and others had just checked out and had almost arrived at the dock now.
The reporters came to a conclusion, it seems that Captain Tang is really in a hurry, after all, it is such a thing as a fire in the backyard, and few people can sit still, so they pointed the finger at Walton and tried every possible means to dig out some valuable information from his mouth.
Some of the most talkative people hit Joey with the idea, thinking that he would be too little to do, and maybe he would inadvertently leak some important news. However, what is surprising is that Captain Tang left this time and took him with him, leaving Walton alone in the "Jakarta Pur" branch.
When the "Morning Star" left the "Lokia" pier and slowly moved along the channel, gradually moving away, a man and a woman in the platform area were in a different mood.
Ye Dan is worried about the situation with "Dillard", although it is none of her business.
After hearing the news not long after getting up in the morning, she felt shocked, thinking that Tang Fang must be very frustrated and annoyed, just afraid that she would bite her back molars with hatred, the "Morning Star" had just arrived in "Jakarta Pur" for two or three days, and the base camp was secretly attacked, and the person who did this came from an external force, and could not rely on legal means to solve it, in the face of a stronghold with strong troops, what could a businessman like him do? The only option is to knock out your teeth and swallow them in your stomach.
She couldn't help but worry about him, praying that God would bless "Dillard" from not being as strict as the rumors outside, and also hoped that he would cheer up and not be knocked down by this setback, or do irrational things.
Arthur was silent all the way, and Tang Fang and the others only waved their hands when they boarded the ship, until they watched the "Morning Star" gradually move away, and finally disappeared from the end of sight.
He knows much more information than Ye Dan, and others think that Tang Fang is in a hurry to leave because he is in a hurry to go back to "Dillard" to deal with the aftermath, only he and Lilietta know that the guy who changed his face like a flip book is acting again, digging holes for some people to jump in different ways, but he also pretended to be deceived and fooled, and played people around.
This was the first time he had seen the "Morning Star", and it was a little different from the appearance in the news report, and there was an additional external equipment on the bow and two wings, because it was covered by paint and shelter, and it was impossible to see what the parts were.
He was very curious, the original "Morning Star" was already armed to the teeth, and dared to beat the "Lokia" Security Service special service team in front of the "Jakarta Pur" naval fleet.
The prototype of the "Morning Star" is nothing more than a Charles Lightning Python-class destroyer, and the performance of the core components has its limits, and if you add equipment again and again, you are not afraid of exceeding the load of the energy system?
There is one thing he doesn't know, except for the shell and general structure of the current "Morningstar" or the lightning python, almost half of the main parts in the stomach have been replaced with Ipsil products, not to mention the two external interceptors, even if they get on the aircraft carrier platform, they can still be at ease.
"What is your relationship with Tang Fang?"
Ye Dan's question brought his thoughts back to reality, Arthur looked at the tall female police officer, and replied casually: "Friend", after speaking, he immediately turned around and walked towards the exit.
She thought for a moment and said tentatively, "You're not just a bar owner......
Arthur shrugged, didn't deny, didn't admit it, and didn't look back, the gold earrings on his earlobes jumped slightly, and with his dark skin, it looked particularly eye-catching.
He felt that Captain Tang was a lot more relaxed as soon as he left, at least he could pretend to be X naturally, and maintain his mysterious and fashionable side in front of a young girl like Ye Dan, and his kung fu in bed was also good, with a standard black wild style, of course, this had to be experienced by the girls themselves.
Ye Dan frowned, feeling that he didn't look like a good person, which stemmed from the police's natural sniff for the bandits...... Gut feeling.
How could he have such a friend!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the following week, through the unremitting efforts of the Star Alliance media, a timetable for the attack on "Dillard" was gradually sketched.
More than half a month ago, the "Morning Star" set off from "Dillard" and rushed to the "Jakarta Pur" star system, carrying Tang Fang, Claire, Byron, and other backbone personnel, and the defense and command strength of "Dillard" was greatly weakened.
A few days later, a fire broke out among several pirate groups belonging to the Ayaros-Koplin-Slandar No-Man's Land due to the uneven division of their spheres of influence. The "Apollo" pirates of the Albert faction were defeated in the "Dillard" encounter at the beginning, and then there was internal turmoil, Chen Jian and Yasen Nicholas fled, and the strength of the fleet plummeted, and they were so frightened by Captain Tang that they didn't even want their nest, so their influence in the no-man's land was shrinking day by day.
During the heyday of the "Apollo" pirates, they almost occupied more than half of the territory of no man's land, and second-rate pirates such as Black Pearl, Cobra, and Hannibal could only struggle to survive in the gap between the "Apollo" pirates and Harrington's Harris Night Legion.
Now that Albert has lost power, Byron, who is gradually recovering his vitality, has climbed to the top of the "Morning Star Forge" and become the defense chief of the "Dillard" star system, and has no intention of returning to the pirate world to claim the king.
This made Black Pearl, Cobra, Hannibal and other pirates see an opportunity, and they are unwilling to live a life of relying on people's nose anymore, so they unite in tandem and form a pirate fleet to force Albert to give up some of the territory he occupied earlier.
Naturally, Albert would not agree to their request, so that in the end, the two sides fought in the Ayaros-Coplin-Slandal no-man's land, setting off a vigorous tug-of-war.
There were 600 warships on Albert's side, plus nearly 300 ships of the Whitebeard Pirates, which was almost the number of a regular fleet. The combined forces of pirates such as Cobra, Black Pearl, and Hannibal invested more than 1,100 ships. Although the former is slightly less than the latter, because of the difference in the performance and power composition of the warship, it can be said that the comprehensive combat effectiveness is half a pound and eight taels, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.
The two sides have made several attempts in just a few days around the issue of controlling the power in the no-man's land, and they have more or less figured out the embarrassing situation they are facing at the moment, once a full-scale war starts, the result of the matter can only be a defeat for both sides, but if it continues to be so deadlocked, the pirate alliance side is afraid that it will change over time because the composition of the force is too complicated, and it will even be broken and annexed by Albert.
In order to break the current deadlock, Rommel of the Cobra Pirates asked for help from "Dillard", because whether it was Byron, Stephen Sue, Chen Jian, or Yasin Nicholas, they all had a deep hatred with Albert, so why not ask them to send troops together and take the opportunity to wipe out Albert and Whitebeard Boyburn.
Rommel's idea was good, but unfortunately, "Dillard" had a senior conspiracy theorist, but this conspiracy theorist was a deputy head of the regiment, and a good joint operation was described by him as a bitter ploy to get the king into the urn, and he pointed a gun at the head of the messenger and blasted out the door.
Rommel angrily scolded Stephen Sue for being a bastard, and there was nothing he could do to change the status quo.
At the same time, "Dillard" received another piece of intelligence from a no-man's land, sent by a wandering asteroid where Albert's base camp was located.
Unlike Stephen Sue, Jian Chen is a slippery and yin person, which is not only reflected in the pickling of girls, but also in the military. Thinking that in the process of escaping from prison, Albert was able to insert a hidden nail in the rebel team, how could Deputy Commander Chen not lay a chess piece in the pirates?
Albert inserted the secret nail in order to find out the truth of "Dillard", and then acted. Chen Jianbu's chess pieces are to monitor Albert's movements, so that he can be caught in the future.
When Albert, Whitebeard, and the pirate alliance were in a tug-of-war in the no-man's land, the monitoring of the base camp was weakened, and the chess pieces that Jian Chen had laid earlier found an opportunity to send the azimuth coordinates of the wandering asteroid to "Dillard".
Since Stephen Sue insisted that the dispute in the No Man's Land was a ploy by Albert, Whitebeard, and the Pirates, he refused to send troops. He didn't force it, rolled his eyes, and asked Stephen Sue to take someone to Albert's hometown, and explode the chrysanthemum of the turtle's grandson behind his back.
Because considering that there was a defensive line laid by the Star Alliance Navy around "Dillard", Albert and Whitebeard did not dare to make a mistake, and they were dragged by the pirate alliance and had no time to take care of it, so the two left 50 warships to watch their homes, and took the remaining more than 400 warships to sneak out of "Dillard" and take the location of the wandering asteroid.
After Jian Chen and Stephen Sue led the "Dillard" garrison fleet to leave, the battle in the no-man's land suddenly changed dramatically, and a small pirate group in the pirate alliance was successfully rebelled by Boyleburn and betrayed the information to the opponent, so that the main force of the Hannibal pirates was caught by Albert on the way.
Cobra, Black Pearl and other pirates hurriedly increased their troops to rescue out of the consideration of cold lips and teeth, and the two sides evolved from the original exploratory battle to a real tug-of-war.
At this time, the Star Covenant Navy couldn't sit still, and the pirates were too unscrupulous to make a fuss in the no-man's land, and they simply didn't take them seriously. It's like a group of rats playing in front of an old cat, not knowing whether they are alive or dead. Second, some high-ranking government officials have exerted political pressure on them to take care of this matter and deter the pirates, so as not to cause a defeat for both sides, and there will be no shortage of cannon fodder in the future. Some admirals, either out of personal gain or out of patriotism, were also in favor of sending troops to deter. As a result, the 23rd, 44th, and 45th fleets of the Star Alliance Navy, which were stationed in the no-man's land, left the garrison area and sent troops to quell the chaos.
Who would have thought that at this moment, more than 600 warships of the First Fleet of the Doom Night Legion under Harris Harriton broke into the Star Alliance Naval Defense Zone, launched a sneak attack on the "Dillard" star system, and destroyed the "Christel" industrial park where the "Morning Star Casting" and "Daystar Pharmaceutical" drug production lines were located, until the naval fleet closest to the "Dillard" arrived, and then forced back the First Fleet of the Doom Night Legion.
Afterwards, according to the explanation of the navy, there were two reasons why the First Fleet of the Night Legion was able to break through the warp probe network and enter the defense area before being detected by the navy. First, due to the long-term fighting between Albert, Whitebeard, and the pirate alliance, the probe network of the Navy in the no-man's land was regionally damaged, so that the First Fleet of the Doom Legion did not detect a large number of space-time warping reactions until it entered the naval defense area, and the early warning system sent a warning signal to the headquarters.
Second, the 44th Fleet of the Star Alliance Navy, which was closest to "Dillard", was ordered to go to the area where the pirates were fighting to quell the chaos, and Chen Jian and Stephen Su also led an expedition and did not return, causing a defensive vacuum for "Dillard", so that the First Fleet of the Night Legion seized the opportunity to raise troops to attack.
Officials did not disclose how much damage the surprise attack of the First Fleet of the Night Legion caused to the "Cristiel" industrial park, because the statistical property damage is the responsibility of "Morning Star Foundry" and "Daystar Pharmaceutical", and it is not within the responsibility of the Star Alliance Navy.
Of course, there are also insiders who have revealed that some people have died in the industrial park, and several hapless researchers and samples of anti-radiation drugs have also been captured by the landing force of the First Fleet of the Legion of Doom.
There are even high-ranking officials from the Star Alliance Navy Staff who speculate that this attack was a bitter ploy carefully planned by the No Man's Land Pirates and the Night Legion, because the 23rd, 44th, and 45th fleets of the Star Alliance Navy rushed to the area where the pirates were fighting, and found that the building had long been empty, and they didn't even see the shadow of a pirate warship.
Four days after the attack, the ship group led by Jian Chen and Stephen Su returned triumphantly, but looking at the "Christel" who was almost in ruins, the two wanted to cry without tears, they led the army to explode other people's chrysanthemums, but unexpectedly, their nest was boiled by the first fleet of the Night Legion.
David Conan, commander-in-chief of the no-man's land garrison navy, expressed deep regret for this, and specially ordered the 44th Fleet to strengthen the defense of the "Dillard" area in the coming days and assist the "Apollo" pirates in maintaining law and order in the area.
Throughout the incident, the main culprits responsible for the tragedy of "Dillard" are the Ayaros-Coplin-Slandal Pirate Organization in the No Man's Land, and the second is the First Fleet of the Night Legion.
Whether it is the pirate group or the first fleet of the Night Legion, they do not belong to the Star Alliance forces, no matter how you look at it, the "Morning Star Casting" is a dumb loss this time, those pirate groups wandering in the no-man's land are uncertain and difficult to catch, the first fleet of the Night Legion is easy to find, it is in the Mubarak star system, but ...... With 500 pirate warships alone, even with the "Morning Star", the victory rate is almost 0 in the face of the entire Doom Night Legion and many space-based defense facilities, maybe Harrington Harris is waiting for Captain Tang to put out the fire.
On the other hand, the President of the Star Alliance, Adam Oliver, used the attack on "Dillard" to hype up the stronghold threat theory, believing that this was the invasion of the Sulu Empire into the territory of the Star Alliance, and urged all sectors of society to step up preparations for war, put aside the previous domestic contradictions and unite with the outside world, in order to defend national sovereignty, overthrow the brutal rule of the Sulu and Monya aristocratic groups, and liberate the people who have suffered unfair treatment in the two countries, and take the opportunity to declare a state of emergency and start wartime politics.
As early as a month ago, when Tang Fang told the public about his experience in the Monya Empire on SNS TV, the support rate of the Star Alliance people for the war rose to 81, and now "Dillard" was attacked by the First Fleet of the Night Legion, which was considered by the vast majority of people to be an act of revenge by the Sulu Empire. What's more, "Dillard" is already considered the inland area of the Star Alliance, and Harrington Harris is simply challenging the bottom line of hundreds of millions of people when all the people of the Star Alliance are running, shouting, and fighting for national sovereignty, which is simply too deceitful.
Of course, in addition to the war, the angry masses are concerned about another matter, and how the Tang side will react when they learn of the attack on "Dilar."
