"Mr. Tang, as you must know, 'Daystar Pharmaceutical' is a large group company, and I am just a small regional director, with branch managers, presidents, and directors on top. : For such a big matter as cooperation, please forgive me for not being able to do anything, and I must report this matter to my superiors, and after discussion by the board of directors, I can reach a conclusion. ”

"It's okay, anyway, the repair work of the pirate battleship can't be completed in a short time." Tang Fang replied with a smile: "Oh, by the way, in this matter, I hope that the senior management of your company can listen to Councilor Terry's advice, I think...... He should have heard of the words 'Morning Star Casting'. ”

"Okay, I'll make a note of it." Sheridan couldn't help but wipe his sweat, and the more the young man opposite was smiling, the more panicked he became, feeling that he had seen through everything he was thinking.

"How's the repair progress of the communications equipment?" Sheridan turned his head to look at Ruskin, to hide his embarrassment.

"This ...... I asked the people in the maintenance team. Ruskin slid the LCD screen of the mobile video camera, and was about to connect with the maintenance personnel on the ground, when suddenly, the door to the break room opened, and a black man ran in in a hurry: "Stephen...... Stephen is back with the convoy. ”

Byron stood up as soon as he "poofed", and before he could explain to Tang Fang, he walked out of the lounge quickly and walked towards the central control room. Ruskin didn't say a word, got up and walked in hot pursuit.

Sheridan looked at the black man, and then at the four Tang Fang, his face embarrassed.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Tang Fang said understandingly.

"Please." Sheridan glanced at him gratefully, led the way, went out and turned to the right, and returned to the center.

At this time, the picture of the big screen was frozen in the space 600km away from "Christel", and the originally dark and quiet cosmic space was flashing at this time. One battleship after another appeared in the field of vision of several people.

"Can you connect to Stephen's flagship?" Byron asked an operator.

"If you use microwave communication, it should be fine." The operator responds and swipes his finger across the touch panel to encrypt the channel to send a communication request.

But just when the other party verified the correctness of the key and was about to establish a channel, it was in the void about 300km away from the place where the fleet appeared. The warp speed response increased dramatically, and the early warning computer connected to the detector counted a reading, 187!

What does this foreshadow for the addition of Stephen? In addition to the fleet led by Su, another fleet entered the "Christel." ”

"Is it a ......" Ruskin and Sheridan looked at each other.

At the same time, the light and shadow of the No. 2 big screen flashed, and a white man with a curly beard, slightly brownish-red, and a big face like the king of the hill appeared in front of everyone: "Commander, are you okay?" What about Charman. What about the Charman guy? ”

"We're fine, you ......"

Byron just wanted to ask him how his situation was, but suddenly, there was a rush of chickens and dogs jumping on the opposite side, and Stephen's face shook a few times on the big screen, then he turned his head and said angrily: "Bastard, you actually came with me." Head. Be...... It's the traitors and the 'Whitebeard' pirates. ”

"Whitebeard? I didn't expect these guys to get involved with Albert too. Byron frowned.

"It's a trap, a trap! ma。 Eggs, Lao Tzu was tricked by them. Stephen yelled inwardly.

The fleet had just returned to "Christel" for half a minute, and he didn't know what had just happened, looking at the wreckage of space-based defenses floating outside the porthole, as well as the pirate battleship floating not far away, plus the "Headless Horseman" was also there. Stephen mistakenly thinks that Charlman's fleet is on the lookout. And the "Whitebeard" pirates, the previous defeat and retreat was just a false shot, in order to let his fleet and convoy return to "Christil", so as to cooperate with the outside and eliminate them in one fell swoop. Never again.

I have to say, Stephen? Sue looked a little silly, but in fact he was quite discerning, but in a few seconds, he could see through the tricks of Charman's gang.

"Herald, tell the Gallup Wing to hold back the men of 'Whitebeard', and the rest of the ships, give me ......"

"Stephen, open your eyes and take a good look, the battleship above 'Kristiel' has lost its combat capability." Byron hurriedly interrupted him to give orders, this thing has some brains, and the disadvantage is that he is impatient and loves to do things, just like now, without waiting to understand the state of affairs, he started the idea of attacking first.

"Huh?" Stephen? Su looked puzzled: "Commander, it can't be that Charman has already captured 'Christil' and wants to use you as a game to frame us, right?" ”

Byron hated the root of his teeth: "Bunny, which eye do you see that I am being coerced?" ”

Stephen? Su didn't reply immediately, turned around and left for a while, and then walked to the front of the camera again, Xu learned the actual situation from the intelligence officer, and said with a wry face: "I'm sorry Commander, I was wrong." ”

"Hmph." Byron snorted: "Charman's fleet has been defeated, for now you only need to concentrate on dealing with the 'Whitebeard' gang." ”

"Don't worry." Stephen patted his chest: "As long as no one pulls back the hind legs, Lao Tzu must pluck out the chin hair of the old guy in Boyle this time." ”

After speaking, he dodged and was about to leave the scope of the camera, when he suddenly turned his head again: "Commander, I'm curious about how you defeated Charman." ”

Byron gritted his teeth and said, "It's important to get down to business." ”

"Yes, yes, it's business." Stephen smiled and ordered the communications team to disconnect the two sides and concentrate on dealing with the "Whitebeard" pirates behind him and the "Christel" garrison fleet that was on the verge of rebellion.

Later, Tang Fang was full of doubts, so he asked Ruskin about what happened.

It turned out that more than a month ago, the headquarters of "Daystar Pharmaceutical" informed that the staff of the "Babylon" branch had bought a batch of biological samples that might have research value in the free market and wanted to send them to "Christel" for research work.

At first, he, Byron and the others didn't care, thinking that the route from "Babylon" to "Dillard" was very safe, and there was no danger of any danger, but when the transport fleet arrived less than 0.1 light years away from the edge of Dillard's star system, they suddenly killed a group of medium-sized pirates composed of 120 warships and stopped the fleet to carry out robbery.

Not to mention that a medium-sized pirate group dared to go to the hinterland of the Star Alliance to stir up the wind and rain, and dare to intercept the convoy of "Daystar Pharmaceutical" less than 0.1 light-years from the edge of "Dillard"?

You must know that the transport fleet of "Daystar Pharmaceutical" is not some wild road cargo fleet. The company has signed security contracts with some security companies and mercenary organizations, and this time the fleet transporting biological samples is not only the scientific research ship and special type cargo ship owned by "Daystar", but also an escort fleet composed of 70 warships.

The pirates' Cunzài did not hide from the vanguard reconnaissance team of the transport fleet, and while they stopped the follow-up fleet, they sent a letter of help to the corporate garrison of "Dillard".

The social form of the Tianchao Star Region is not as sovereign as that of Mengya and Charles, because there are many pirate groups. The safety factor of each channel is different, and there are stronghold forces eyeing each other, and various robbery acts are frequent, and only some of the main routes opened by the Star Alliance officials can be peaceful because of the existence of patrol fleets. Of course, "Taiping" is also relative, after all, the distance between two adjacent star systems is often several light-years. More than ten light years, even a super force like the Star Alliance cannot ensure the absolute safety of the entire shipping lane.

Moreover, the so-called official route is generally a star-shaped topological structure, and only node star systems like "Babylon" have official routes extending in all directions, and marginal star systems such as "Jakarta Pur" and "Dillard" have a low safety factor for official routes. Second, there is only one official route. It is used to connect to the nearest adjacent star system.

For example, "Jakarta Pur", whose official shipping route is connected to "Qatar". The distance between "Jakarta Pur" and "Babylon" is more than 20 light years, and with the warp speed of the Morning Star, if it were to go straight, it would take about a month. But if you are traveling along the official waterway, then. It will take at least two and a half months.

Such a long journey may be acceptable to ordinary people, but for some business organizations and groups, it is unaffordable.

Therefore, the major enterprises and organizations of Star Alliance urgently need to study a countermeasure. You can choose your favorite path and be robbed without worry. Hiring large and medium-sized mercenaries and security groups is a good option, but ...... How much does it cost? The cost of hundreds of warships alone is not a small amount, and unless the situation forces it, no company is willing to hire them, which also creates a social phenomenon that companies are eager to have private troops.

One is afraid of detouring and losing the opportunity; second, fear of spending high rent; 3. Fear of robbery; Fourth, the warp speed navigation technology is not perfect, and the ship cannot stop jumping halfway. Under these four elements, a pioneer pathfinding mechanism was born.

Generally speaking, a reconnaissance ship with the ability to scan warp probes, as a pioneer reconnaissance unit, will carry out a segmented warp jump according to the pre-set route of the fleet, and collect abnormal signals along the way.

As long as the warp probe is not deployed, it will not be able to detect the movement of the fleet, and once the warp probe is deployed, it will be detected by the Vanguard reconnaissance ship. In this way, the possibility of the fleet being intercepted will naturally be greatly reduced, unless there is an eye line of pirates in the upper echelons of the fleet, or in the unfortunate situation of the Pioneer reconnaissance ship's detection unit malfunctioning, or the blind cat of the pirate group that has been randomly knocked into a dead mouse.

Ruskin was glad that, fortunately, the convoy did not encounter the above disadvantage.

70vs120！ It will definitely not be able to fight, but if the transport fleet is sincere in its importance, the pirates will never succeed in a short period of time. 0.1 light years, only two or three hours of flight or so, if you send the mercenary fleet of "Dillard" over, 150vs120! You can definitely scare the pirates away.

But...... Ruskin? What Eddie wants is not to scare the other party away, but to make an example! Dillard Stellar Systems has been leased by "Daystar Pharmaceutical", and in the next few decades, it will gradually build a comprehensive large-scale pharmaceutical enterprise integrating pharmaceutical research and development, medical equipment manufacturing, and artificial organ production.

Daystar's goal is to grow into the top pharmaceutical manufacturer of Star Alliance, how can it be possible to compromise with the Pirate Organization? If the pirates succeed this time, they will not be ridiculed to death by their competitors. Therefore, it is necessary to stifle the momentum and set an example for the monkeys.

In order to catch this group of pirates, Ruskin not only dispatched the security fleet of "Daystar Pharmaceutical" in the Dillard star system, but also borrowed Byron's pirate fleet composed of 240 warships.

Originally, according to Byron's idea, half of the battleship was to be left to guard "Dillard", so as not to encounter a possible "diversion of the tiger from the mountain", but. Ruskin was cheeky and hard-skinned, and finally he agreed to the plan of action for the whole ship to attack.

After all, the battlefield between the pirates and the convoy was too close to "Dillard", only 0.1 light-years, and besides, the number of statistics transmitted by the reconnaissance network that spread through the airspace around "Dillard" was analyzed. On the pirate side, there are only those 120 warships, and there should be no other ambush forces. In such an environment, as soon as the combined fleet arrives, it can destroy the withering and decay, and send the self-killed pirate group to hell. It is conservatively estimated that if the battle against bandits is smooth, it can be completed within 1 hour, and with the round-trip voyage, it will only take about 5 or 6 hours.

Such a short period of time. No matter how fast the warships are, they will not be able to capture the air-ground integrated defense network built on the "Christier" before the return of the Combined Fleet. You must know that the maximum monitoring distance of the "Dillard" peripheral reconnaissance network is 0.1 light years, and if there is really someone with bad intentions and is ready to sneak attack the industrial park after the United Fleet leaves, then he will wait for the United Fleet to be copied by the false shot.

However, what Ruskin did not expect was that the other side did not need to ambush the surplus troops, nor did it need follow-up reinforcements. The security force of "Daystar Pharmaceutical", composed of 88 warships, is simply a group of traitors, real pirate lackeys.

Once you reach the destination location. Not waiting for Stephen? The fleet of the Byron faction of the Apollo Pirates led by Su launched a formation, and the "Daystar" security forces in the rear suddenly attacked, forming a flanking attack with the original pirates.

Even Stephen? Su had more troops, but in the face of this sudden change and unfavorable formation, it was difficult to escape defeat. Fortunately, the frigates of the transport fleet only received a letter for help and arrived in time. With the strength of both sides, it was able to stop the rout and get entangled with the opponent.

As the saying goes, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular, Stephen? When Sue is dragged down by the "Whitebeard" pirates. "Christel" had its Good Friday.

The "Daystar Pharmaceutical" security fleet can be rebelled, and the border defense unit can also be bought. Unlike the "Jakarta Pur" and "Qatar" star systems, the "Daystar Pharmaceutical" does not have strong enough military and financial resources to set up a wide-area warp speed interception network on the "Dilar" border.

"Dillard" has only one section of local warp interception line, which is arranged in the outer void of "Laxis", and cooperates with a large number of warp probes in the star system to monitor and block the possible appearance of enemy fleets, and win reaction time for "Christel's" security fleet and space-based defense platform.

Under this defensive structure, once the detection post in charge of a certain area is bought by the enemy, the results can be imagined. So, in the convoy with Stephen? After the fleet of the Byron faction of the Apollo Pirates led by Su was dragged, "Laxis" suddenly launched an expeditionary fleet of 400 warships in the shadow of "Christil" and launched a fierce attack on the defense system above the industrial park.

This fleet is none other than Albert's henchman Admiral Charman? Part of the main fleet of the Apollo Pirates led by Green.

From the analysis of the above battle process, this set of serial tactics planned by Albert went through the four processes of luring the enemy into depth, diverting the tiger from the mountain, counter-plotting, and encircling the point to send reinforcements.

Follow Stephen? Sue described that when Charman captured the space-based defense line, the "Whitebeard" pirates and the renegade security fleet showed weakness to the enemy, deliberately disguised the signs of defeat, and retreated into deep space.

Considering that "Christel" was under the onslaught of Charman, Stephen did not dare to slack off, and hurried back with the transport fleet. After that, after more than 2 hours of sailing, I returned to the park, and before I could take a breath, the "Whitebeard" pirates and the security fleet also followed.

It can be seen from this that Charman's plan is not simply to encircle the point and send reinforcements, his plan is to attack back and forth and exterminate all the living forces of the Byron faction.

"This Albert is really the number one person." Tang Fang glanced up at the battlefield model drawn by the holographic projection equipment of the combat command platform, Stephen? There were more than 260 warships on the Soviet side, and more than 180 warships on the "Whitebeard" side and the security fleet.

In this case, it would not make much difference whether he sent troops to support or not, and the "Whitebeard" people were not fools, without Charman's fleet to flank them, how could they be Stephen? Sue's opponents, "escape" is their only option.

"If you knew this, let the high-level Templars illusion some pirate warships, and when the time comes...... Pity...... It's a pity ......"

Zhou Ai and Aros listened to it and grinned, this kid was also bad, and his mind was full of thoughts about what kind of yin person.

On the other side, on the "Whitebeard" Pirate Flagship's flagship "Hydra", the leader of the Pirates who is over sixty years old, Boyle? Ben stared at the big screen No. 2 for a moment with a stunned face, and smashed a "dong" punch on the armrest of the captain's seat.

"That bastard of Charman, what about the front and back strikes? Where is he? Where have the others gone? Boyle's eyes widened with rage, and his goatee pouted under his jaw. (To be continued......) R527
