Chapter 437: Low self-esteem is conceit
In the long nebula, Karl. Quaker personally led 5 legion-level fleets to "swing" along the entire supply line, and the accompanying building maintenance fleet threw out countless branches on the main information relay tower chain to expand the information relay coverage of the Quaker Industries Combined Fleet.
As for the integrity of the Nebula Edge information station chain, Karl couldn't care about it that much, and he was eager to find the main fleet or base camp of the Red Faction, only in this way could he face off with his enemies as soon as possible.
The turnaround seems to have happened unintentionally, and Carl has finally found a communication tower of the Red Faction's information relay network, much to the delight of the entire Quake Industries fleet, who have been running around the nebula for more than a week before finally finding a breakthrough!
If the tower is cracked, the Quark Industries Combined Fleet can hack into the Red faction's information relay network and find their home base!
Cal. Quake immediately ordered his ship to approach the information relay tower, and when the maintenance machine of the Quaker Industries combined fleet was close enough, the information relay tower suddenly exploded itself, and the violent explosion burned the information relay tower itself, along with several maintenance machines of Quake Industries.
Carl was about to explode, his eyes were red, he stared at the fire from the explosion outside the porthole, and viciously squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth: "Fuwei. Alexander... You shrunken turtle, you shrunk crumb! Don't let me catch you, if I catch you, I'll break you to pieces! ”
Cal. The subordinates around Quake felt extremely disappointed in their hearts, they felt more and more deeply about Carl's incompetence, and they no longer had much hope in their hearts for this battle, but they were forced by Carl. Quake's obscenity is just a matter of thinking about it, and it is impossible to show it on his face.
At this time, the news of the annihilation of the Baltic Sea reached the bridge of the flagship where Karl was, and the news was that before the destruction of the Baltic, its captain personally sent a video email: "Lord Karl, a fleet of the Red faction has raided us, the pride of Quake Industries, the Baltic is probably going to be destroyed in this nebula today, Lord Karl, you must avenge the death of your brothers!" ”
Carl stared at the hologram, glaring angrily, and after a while, he actually looked up and laughed: "Haha, hahahaha..."
The subordinates didn't know what Carl's smile meant, Carl laughed enough, and said to himself with his eyes curled, "It's so stupid... It's stupid... I didn't know about the number and fleet size of the raiders, so you said you sent this video email, what's the use!! ”
Carl's subordinates could feel that their young master was on the verge of a mad breakdown, and they were worried about their fate and what would happen to them.
And Carl. Quaker, as expected, lived up to everyone's expectations, and immediately ordered the five legion-class fleets of the Quaker Industrial Combined Fleet to continue advancing into the depths of the nebula, and Carl planned to use the numerical advantage of his own fleet to find the base camp of the Red faction.
He believes that this process will not take too long, the Baltic, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, and Quark Industries still has large, giant logistics supply ships, and the logistics supply capacity of the Pegasus economic overlord is difficult for anyone to match!
After Carl's order was issued, all fleets of the Quaker Industries Combined Fleet were referring to it, but the Bounty Hunter Fleet did not agree with this order, and the commander-in-chief of its fleet connected to Carl's flagship:
"Lord Karl, I know that the fleet of bounty hunters should not dictate your decisions, but if you are stuck in your throat, you will not vomit! We have been wandering in the nebula for a long time, and each fleet has different degrees of starship attrition, and the pilots have been highly stressed and exhausted for days!
I suggest that the fleet immediately withdraw to the port of Pegasus Xingmen to rest, the battle was not fought like this, and I now think that we are not fighting a war with the red faction at all, but against the nebula in a harsh environment, which is undoubtedly unwise!
Your Excellency Karl, I hope you will think twice and force your way forward, there is only one dead end! ”
The commander-in-chief of the bounty hunter fleet spoke very unkindly, how could Karl listen to it? But for the sake of face, he still restrained his anger and persuaded: "I will consider your suggestion, but changing the order at night is the most damaging to the morale of the army, and I can't take back my life." ”
"Since His Excellency Karl is so resolute, I have to be responsible for all the bounty hunters who participated in the expedition, on behalf of the bounty hunter fleet, I ask for orders to return to the nebula supply line and not continue to go deeper into the nebula!" The commander-in-chief of the bounty hunter fleet said in a tone of hatred.
Karl felt a surge of anger in his heart when he heard this, but the only reason left in his soul told him that if he tore his face with the Bounty Hunter Fleet, the military spirit of the Quaker Industries Combined Fleet would really be completely dissipated!
He thought about it carefully, and thought that it was not a bad idea to let the Bounty Hunter fleet return to the information relay supply line, the logistics supply route was crucial to any unusually large battle, and there was no room for failure, Carl could not contact the Pegasus Star Gate Port, if he could contact it, he would also order the Pegasus Star Gate Port to send a fleet to defend the rear supply line.
Now that the Bounty Hunter fleet has taken the initiative to ask for help, what reason does Karl have not to accede to their request!
"Alright, the logistics supply lifeline of the Combined Fleet will be handed over to you bounty hunters!" Karl nodded and said, "In addition, please help me convey the order to the Fourth Fleet to withdraw to the Greenback Planet, that fleet is not my own." ”
The commander-in-chief of the Bounty Hunter fleet was not pleased that Karl had granted his request, he snorted, promised that he would deliver the order, and then disconnected the message, and then led the fleet away from the main fleet and towards the edge of the nebula.
Under Karl's orders, the first, second, and third fleets and the garrison fleet continued to advance into the depths of the nebula, and the logistics supply route was escorted by the bounty hunter fleet.
Man is such a creature, once his self-confidence swells to a certain extent, he can no longer shrink back, and arrogance and pride begin to affect the judgment of reality. In Quaker's eyes, the Crimson faction has always been a rabble, a fringe group of pirates, criminals, rogues, and the underclass of the starry society, and crusading against them is just a game.
From the very beginning, Carl had this mentality, and he naturally took Fuwei. Alexander was on a par with the little boy he had caught with little effort five or six years ago, but he was blind to all the accomplishments and changes that had been made in those five or six years!
That's what Karl thinks, Foway. Alexander is Fortune. Alexander, 5 or 6 years ago, he had already been branded as inferior to himself, and no matter how much he tossed, the Red faction could never be a match for the well-armed and wealthy Quaker Industries Combined Fleet.
Anyone who goes into an unknown battle with pride and conceit, with the mentality of not being able to correctly understand friend and foe, is doomed to a crushing defeat. Quake, it is impossible to understand, he is carried away by his conceit, and he insists on taking the fleet army into the depths of the nebula.
In the days since Quark Industries continued to penetrate into the nebula, the fleets of the Quaker Industries Combined Fleet, which were far apart, failed to find any opponents, and their outer fleets continued to be attacked by small groups of enemies from the Red Faction.
The opponent is in the dark, and the Quake Industries Combined Fleet continues to be in a passive situation, but the pilots of the Quaker Industries Combined Fleet are very much looking forward to the enemy coming to harass and attack, which can at least be regarded as finding an opponent.
The most terrifying thing is the nebula itself, the misty nebula continues to consume the vitality of the Quaker Industrial Combined Fleet, in the past two weeks, the number of non-combat ships damaged by the Quaker Industrial Combined Fleet has exceeded 100, and if this continues, this number will rise geometrically.
The attacks and harassment of small groups of enemies were endless, and it was enough to make Carl. Quake had a headache, on this day, the first fleet of the Combined Fleet plunged headlong into the star minefield laid by the red faction in the process of swinging horizontally!
After Carl's subordinates reported the incident in a panic, Karl waved his hand haggardly, his psychological defense was on the verge of collapse.
"How big is the Starmine Zone?" Carl asked, desperately trying to calm his emotions.
The subordinate replied, "Master Karl... Our chain of information relay stations... Failed to explore the effective boundaries of the star minefield... To be sure, it must have a diameter range of more than 100,000 kilometers ... We... One of our regiments has been blown up to the ground, and the other regiment has suffered heavy losses..."
"Do you still need to beep this on purpose?!" Karl instantly became furious, he stood up from his seat with a sudden, and yelled, "Get out of here!" ”
After the subordinate who came to report left, Karl frowned, he had to come up with a solution as soon as possible, it was impossible for the Combined Fleet to delay time in this star minefield, the star mine in the nebula is different from the star mine in the starry sky, due to the obstacle, it is difficult for the ship to find the light size, but the explosion power is incomparably huge.
Ships entering the minefield are about to face an even greater crisis - the positions of the mines in the nebula are not fixed, they are constantly changing positions.
Karl only thought for three minutes before giving the order: "Abandon those two regiments, bypass the star minefield, and continue to advance." ”
Karl's subordinates all suspected that their ears had heard it wrong, and it was already like this, and he even ordered the fleet to continue deep into the nebula, and God knows what else awaited them in the depths of the nebula!
All the subordinates think that their master's brain is in water, and he is doing the stupidest thing of the century in the entire Grimm Cluster! But no one dared to stand up against Carl. Quake's order, the commander-in-chief of the bounty hunter fleet, would have dared, but he had already left.
