After the establishment of the Republic, the Uruks received a lot of assistance from the Federation, including the design and manufacturing technology of warships, and even cooperated in the construction of hundreds of capital warships.

During this time, the Uruks were like dry sponges, desperately absorbing new ideas and technologies, and by the way, boasting about the engineering talent of the Sebisto people, it took less than thirty years to form the unique style and characteristics of the Republic warships, even if there are still some gaps in some individual technologies, but on the whole, the Republic warships can already compete with the Imperial and Federation warships.

This time, in order to suppress the counterattack of the Republic fleet, the Imperial Government had to send support fleets from the Atizabo family, which was closest to the war zone, and the first and second family fleets were reluctant to move, and the third fleet where Marti was located became the main force, and Marti became the vanguard of the Third Fleet, responsible for exploring the path for the entire fleet and finding fighters.

The main mission of the Third Squadron this time was to make a detour through the Desolate Star Domain and raid the Jos system in the Derek Star Field from the flank and rear. This system is located between the Republic and the Amada District, and the conflict has become one of the main passages for the Republic's fleet.

According to the plan of the Imperial Navy Command, the main fleet of the Empire will launch a full-scale offensive on the frontal battlefield, dragging the main forces of the Republic and cooperating with the fleet of the Adisapor family to raid the Jos system. As long as this place is occupied, the Republic will lose a major access and will no longer be able to provide rapid support to the three or four surrounding systems.

This allows the Empire to keep its war zone within two or three star systems, making it easier to concentrate heavy forces and fight a decisive battle with the Republic. Compared with the Republic fleet, which has always been flexible and mobile in terms of tactics, the Imperial fleet is more willing to face each other with real swords and guns.

"Keep an eye out for gravitational and magnetic signals in the vicinity, where autonomous drones are often spotted." As soon as he entered the Desolate Star Field, Marty gave the order to the formation, and then the three reconnaissance frigates left the large force and moved at high speed to the wings and directly ahead.

These are three electronic reconnaissance ships, which will fire combat probes at a distance of 3AU from the formation, scan all nearby high-speed moving targets and make screening and early warnings, ensuring that the formation will not be harassed from the flanks.

"U-4 was reported to have lost contact five minutes ago, and multiple calls have not been answered." However, in less than 20 minutes, a loud report from the liaison officer was heard that one of the three electronic reconnaissance ships was missing.

“…… Send an assault team to see what happened, and the formation course will not change! Marty pondered for a moment and made the corresponding arrangements, not paying much attention to it.

The scanning results of the reconnaissance ship have been sent back just now, and there is no abnormal signal, and this is not an enemy-occupied area, and there are no other threats except for autonomous drones. Autonomous drones will not move too far away from the brood, and it is impossible to avoid combat probes, and they will be discovered as soon as they appear.

As for the electronic reconnaissance ship that lost contact, it is likely that there was a communication failure. There are not many communication beacons in the Desolate Galaxy in the first place, and they are still in disrepair, and it is normal for a certain area to be a communication blind spot. The reason why two more warships were sent to investigate was purely out of prudence.

"Report, the assault team has also lost contact...... "Seeing that it will be able to reach the star gate in three or four more jumps, the voice of the liaison officer came from the control room again, and this time even the other flight combat control personnel in the control room couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the formation commander.

“…… Remove the formation and expand the battle formation! Seeing the looks in the eyes of his colleagues, Marti was also a little empty.

It is very likely that there is a communication blind spot, but it has been almost forty minutes since the first reconnaissance ship lost contact, plus an interceptor ship and an assault ship sent over later, how can one of them come back to report the situation, it is impossible to just be stupid and endure it so silently, let alone drag the entire formation unable to pass through the stargate and wait.

Now the only explanation is that all five ships had an accident, but what kind of accident can make five heavily armed warships lose contact together in a short period of time?

"Immediately deploy space bombs to guard against stealth attacks!" As soon as he thought of this, Marty's cold sweat broke out, if the five warships he sent out really encountered an accident, it was very likely that they had encountered a stealth bombing formation of no small size.

The Republic is very good at using this kind of special warships, and the large space missiles they carry are very destructive, and once they are attacked by a group, even battleships cannot resist a few.

Since the empire can come up with the idea of detouring from the desolate galaxy, there is no reason why the Republic can't think of it, and now it can't be busy on the road, and the reason for the disappearance of the five warships must be figured out first, otherwise there will always be a stealth bombing formation by your side, and you will suffer a big loss if you give yourself a chance at the critical moment.

There is nothing wrong with Marty's response, he is not a fledgling novice, he has participated in many battles against bloody raiders and driving away self-disciplined drones, and in addition to the family bonus points, he can be regarded as a military manager who has been promoted by his military achievements.

But there was an error in his judgment, and it cannot be said that it was a mistake in judgment, and other officers should have made a similar decision. Because they had never seen this way of fighting, and they had never even heard of it. If it is replaced by the capture formation of Isaac and Meteor, I am afraid that there will be another idea at this time, and that guy will appear again!

That's right, the five battleships in Marti's formation were all killed by Hong Tao. He didn't want to show his hand to the Vault Dweller Elder, so he walked around the Voshen system, intending to find out if there were any Imperial warships. Attacking civilian spaceships is not a skill, if you want to fight, you can fight warships.

Coincidentally, or rather, Marty was too unlucky, and his formation happened to pass through the Voshen system on its way to the Desolate System. It was impossible for such a large battleship formation not to be discovered by the uncle, so it was targeted by Hong Tao.

But Hong Tao did not dare to do it immediately, there were quite a few warships in this formation, three battle cruiser class, nine cruiser class, six frigate class, nearly 20 warships of all sizes, assault ships, interception ships, interception ships, and electronic auxiliary ships. Once the timing is not right, not only can you not show your ability, but you will also have to be beaten all over the head.

If you want to eat this formation, the best way is to take advantage of the enemy's light and my dark to eat away little by little, and when the other party perceives it, the formation has been disrupted, and the psychological pressure will be great, and it will be easier to succeed in a surprise attack.

"See, the Imperial warships, which are invincible in your eyes, are like children's toys in front of me, and they are easily ...... Oh, don't abuse the captives, I know you hate these Emma, but there's no point in killing them, and it's more relieving to have them toiled to death! ”

In the face of the heavily armed Weasel, the three electronic reconnaissance ships were forcibly returned to the state of parts by six small drones in less than a minute, and the two assault ships and interceptors that followed lasted even shorter, waiting for them were a full twenty small drones.

At the same time, Hong Tao also harvested five Emma pilots, but the Vault Dweller was not very friendly to the captives, when Hong Tao saw it, the two elders were pinching the neck of one of the pilots, and the others were not idle, and these five people would not live for more than a few minutes without intervening.

“…… The Tacomians don't need slaves! No matter how much hatred there is, they dare not give Hong Tao face, and the Vault Dwellers let go of the captives, but their anger has not subsided.

"What the Tacomas need, what they don't need, should be up to me. With my leadership, you can take revenge, but you can't! "Hong Tao doesn't plan to get used to them, talking to his ancestors so rudely, blowing his beard and glaring, it's a big rebellion!

"The Tacomas don't have warships, and they can't drive warships......" At this point, the two elders should be satisfied with Hong Tao's ability, but they don't think that they can save the tribe by just one person.

"I can build a battleship for you, and it's easy to learn how to fly a ship, and the July Volcano is now a clone pilot. If the Tacomians had hundreds of clone pilots and hundreds of these warships, it would be enough to protect their homeland from invasion. Not only the Emma, but also the Republic, the Federation, not even the Ministry of Unification can control our lives! ”

As long as they are willing to make a bid, there are talks, and July says that there are about fifty to a million Vault Dwellers on the planet Voshin, but only about one-tenth of the actual Tacomans, and the rest are all other races that had advanced and retreated with the Tacomans back then. This number is barely acceptable to me, and it should be able to afford it.
