Chapter 127: The Abnormal Movements of the Ewen Mothership
"When the shuttle-shaped spaceship just disappeared between the planet and the space city, the Ewen Empire immediately sent people to the space city to investigate in the name of searching for important people. However, it was clear that the investigation could not be fruitful, and after a period of pretending to inspect it, the Empire temporarily interrupted the supply in the Space City on the grounds of preventing the transfer of this important person.www.biquge.info Atlas continued.
"Wait." At this time, Dart interrupted, "What's the difference between this and directly cutting off the supply in the space city for no reason, just for the sake of a fugitive to make such a fuss, isn't the upper echelons of the empire afraid to arouse the suspicion of those who resist?" β
"It's a bit of a fuss if it's just an ordinary fugitive. But what if the identity of this fugitive is not ordinary? The little girl replied, "The official reason given by the Empire is that the fugitive was a spy who infiltrated the Republic of Kazran in the early years of the Empire, and before he escaped back, he had become the head of a secret weapons research in the Republic of Kazran, and now he was carrying the information of the secret weapon and wanted to return to China, but he was discovered by the Republic of Kazran on the way back to China. In order to recover information on the secret weapon, Kazlan sent a large number of troops in pursuit. As he was about to reach Eun's territory, the agent was severely injured in his craft and had to turn around for Space City, losing contact with the Empire. The day after the loss of contact, there were many unidentified people in the space city. Therefore, in order to find the missing agent as soon as possible, and to prevent him from being captured by the agents of the Republic of Kazran lurking in the country, any external communication channels related to Space City are temporarily blocked until the spy is found. β
At first, most of the rebels were skeptical of the official claim. They naturally thought that this was a reason for the Empire to deal with them. Therefore, in order to make this fake news more true, at the beginning, a group of 'members suspected of being closely connected to the Republic of Kazran' were indeed arrested in the space city. Most of them were not members of the rebels, and in order not to arouse the suspicion of the rebels, a small number of those arrested included the rebels. The arrested persons were immediately returned to the surface, and the non-rebel members were immediately released, while the information obtained by the rebels did not indicate where they had gone. β
"This just makes the excuse that the Imperial officials are looking for more plausible." "But that wasn't enough, how did they incite everyone to leave together?" β
"The ostensible public excuse is to screen the Kazlan lurking in Space City in more detail, and to count the population of Space City. At the same time, due to the lack of management personnel in the space city, everyone is asked to return to the planet at the designated time to register, and those who fail to register within the time limit will be punished as an accomplice to Kazran. Atlas replied.
"How could the rebels believe such an excuse?" Dart asked, "If it was really a census of the population in the space city, they wouldn't have been there, let alone the other stranded people." How could they have the audacity to appear in front of Ewen's official personnel. β
"So it's just a superficial excuse." The little girl continued, "Secretly, there is another news from the official Empireβ"
"The message is that when the Space City was built, it was built for another purpose, and that was to use it as a secret weapon against the Kazrans. It's a pity that the construction of the space city has been completed a long time ago, but it has not been put into battle once. Now that a new battle against Kazlan is about to begin, in order to capture the entire northern continent in one fell swoop in the next battle, Space City has also been officially transferred into the battle sequence. Although the specific attack method of the space city has not been revealed, but all in all, it is impossible for the creatures in the space city to survive the attack. But because the space city is used as a secret weapon, this reason cannot be disclosed, so I have to find an excuse to withdraw everyone in the space city. If you don't evacuate from the city within the official time, the entire city will be closed before the war, and those who remain in the city won't be able to survive. β
"It's more credible than the apparent excuse." Zhou Xin said thoughtfully, but he still didn't believe what Atlas said, "But will those who resist really believe it?" Especially the news that comes out at this juncture. β
"I didn't believe it at first." Atlas affirmed Zhou Xin's speculation, "But as the Ewen Empire deliberately guided the spread of the news, even ordinary people learned of the news later. However, the last people to learn the news were the first to panic. Then, this panic began to spread in Space City, and the ordinary people, led by the skeptical rebels, eventually believed the news. What's more, they had wanted to withdraw their forces from the space city earlier, and they could just take advantage of this opportunity to realize this idea. So it didn't take long for that flotilla that we had seen before to appear. β
"In other words, this fleet actually includes those innocent ordinary people?" Spred asked, frowning.
"Of course." Atlas nodded, "If you deliberately separate ordinary people from those who rebel, it will definitely arouse their suspicions." However, the whole fleet didn't stay in space for a while, and during that time, most of the ships that escaped were on board ordinary people. Speaking of this, the little girl's tone became heavy, "But in the end, there are still many ordinary people who inevitably die in the attack behind." β
Hearing this, everyone's mood couldn't help but become heavy, but it was still better than before, Zhou Xin couldn't help but say slowly: "Is this the truth about the attack on the fleet?" β
"The official information says so." Atlas confirmed the credibility of the message, "Since this news also involves military aspects, people have also found relevant content in military materials. β
"Have pity on the innocent people." After being silent for a while, Zhou Xin sighed and said.
"In the face of the plans of the whole country, there is no time when ordinary people have lost their lives." By this time, Dart had calmed down, "It's just a little bit of a difference." β
There is no need for Dart to explain, in fact, Zhou Xin also understands this, but he is still a little unacceptable in his heart. However, while everyone was still immersed in the heavy mood of the news brought by Atlas, in the space near Songxing, the Ewen Empire had already begun to prepare for a new round of attacks.
By the time the probe's camera focused on the Eun fleet, they were on their way to the Kazlan Line. After the previous truce was replenished, the number of warships in the Eun's fleet was once again restored to about two thousand. As for the Kazlan, although they have been desperately replenishing their warships from the beginning of the entire war, until now, their number of warships has not caught up with their opponents, only about 1,700 ships. However, the Kazlans fought on their own soil, so the new ships did not need to travel long flights to reach the front line like the Eun, which slightly made up for the difference in strength between the two sides.
Since the previous fleet accident had long been a foregone conclusion, Atlas had only told the unknown truth behind it, and could not change the outcome of the sacrifices of those people. Therefore, although everyone was saddened by the sacrifice of ordinary people, when the Ewen fleet appeared on the screen, they still shifted their attention to the screen.
Looking at the Eun fleet that was flying to the Kazlan defense line on the screen, a doubt suddenly appeared in Dart's heart, "The industrial capacity of both of them is indeed very strong, and there is no problem with the replenishment speed of the battleship, but can the training of the personnel on the ship keep up?" Is there so much reserve on both sides? β
"Brother Dart, you don't have to worry about this." Atlas replied directly, "The combat education of the two countries begins at an early age, and when they reach adulthood, everyone will receive a lot of military training, including the basic operation of aircraft and the training of some warship operations. Speaking of this, the little girl's tone became a little strange, "Besides, the Ewen Empire has a very strange rule." β
"Strange rules?" Zhou Xin asked curiously.
"The rule is: the crew of the battleship they built is chosen from among the people who built it." Atlas said.
"It's a little weird indeed." Dart nodded thoughtfully, and after a while, he figured it out, so he explained, "But it's not very strange, since it's already a soldier for all, it doesn't make a difference where to choose the crew. And if they choose from the manufacturing personnel, then some of them will control the battleships they have built to fight, and for the safety of the battleships they may operate in the future, they will definitely work with a spirit of twelve points, and dare not be negligent. What a good means. β
"But it's not without its drawbacks." Zhou Xin continued, "The first prerequisite for doing this is that all the people are soldiers, which is already very difficult, and only a country like them that has been fighting all year round can do this." Moreover, there is another disadvantage to choosing from the manufacturing staff, and that is the issue of proficiency. Although they can ensure the seriousness of production personnel in production, it is difficult to ensure their proficiency in production, which has a certain impact on production efficiency. Then he glanced at the fleet on the screen, "But from the actual situation, it seems that the production efficiency of the Eun Empire is higher than that of the Republic of Kazran, so I didn't say it." β
As he spoke, the huge Ewen fleet had already crossed a short distance, and the battle between the two sides had begun again.
At the beginning of the battle, the situation between the two sides was no different from before, but with the previous combat experience. At this moment, the defense of Kazran's fleet on the screen seems to be at ease. Although the number of warships is still much smaller than that of the other side, the situation is somewhat better than before. The battle had been going on for nearly half an hour now, and in previous battles, the rays emitted by the Kazlan mothership could often be seen at this time. But now in the rear of the Kazlan battle line, the fifteen motherships are still maintaining an attack posture steadily, stopping there motionless, and Zhou Xin and the others have not even found a particularly critical place on the battle line.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Xin and the others thought that this battle between the two sides was just like this, but what happened next was completely beyond their expectations.
In the rear of the Eun fleet, which they didn't notice, the Eun mothership, which had only performed in the first two battles but had not appeared at all later, was acting very unusually. They are closer to the position of engagement than in previous battles, and even some of the motherships have begun their own combat forms.
When the Ewen mothership flew within range of the Kazlan battleship, Atlas finally noticed the anomaly, and she subconsciously shouted, "Look, what do they want to do......?" β
