Chapter 119 Scheme
"Quiet! Quiet down! Joestar shouted, "What about your discipline! Remember, you're now an Imperial soldier, not a cadet at some school! Standing in this battleship is to assume the obligations and responsibilities of a soldier. ”
Hearing this, the students slowly quieted down.
"Report sir, I have a problem!" One of the cadets shouted.
"You say." Joestar motioned for him to speak.
"Sir, according to what Captain Bingxuan just described, we are about to face an impossible mission, and it is likely to be a mission to the death, I don't think that as the reserve elite force of the Empire, we should complete such a mission."
"Oh? You consider yourself the elite of the Empire, so you shouldn't sacrifice your life for a mission that looks like death, do you? ”
"Yes, sir! I don't think such sacrifices are pointless. If we can hold off the other side and wait until reinforcements arrive, then this task still has a little meaning, but with our current strength and numbers, it is impossible to stop the swarm that has expanded by more than 10 times. ”
"You're right, student! But, tell me! If you don't stop it, do you want the 8000w people of Eliza Star behind you to block it with their flesh and blood! Once the swarm breaks through the planetary air defense circle, what will happen to the people who do not enter the shelter? ”
It is true that the strength of the cosmic bee is very small when facing mecha and warships, but the body of more than 3 meters is quite large compared to the fragile body of humans. If a cosmic bee is faced with an unarmed civilian, one can imagine what the consequences will be.
The trainees are speechless. No matter how much he claims to be an elite, he will never say such a thing as giving up the 8000w people. Once spoken, whether he survived or not after this battle, there would be no way out in the Empire. Live, become a traitor that everyone spithes on, die, and become a coward who has been stinking for thousands of years.
At this time, Bing Xuan's communicator sounded, "Captain, the swarm has entered the preset distance!" Dana's voice rang out.
"Warrant Officer Dana Claudia, as planned, I grant you permission to fire from the main gun."
"Understand sir, our ship will keep a distance from the swarm and retreat, and use its main guns to inflict as much damage as possible."
"Very good Dana, I'll go back to the bridge as soon as the meeting is over, and report to me if there is any emergency."
"Yes, Captain."
Bing Xuan hung up the communication and glanced coldly at the student who asked the question just now, "I don't care what you think in your heart, listen, rookies, you have no choice now, even if you drive your beloved mecha, it is absolutely impossible to run away too far from the ship alone." Don't think that the mech's armor is so thick that you can survive a swarm attack of this intensity. With those tattered M1 production models you have in your hands, it's impossible. ”
"And this ship will definitely try to complete the delaying mission as much as possible, so don't think about brainless thoughts such as running away alone, that will only make you lose your life faster. The only way to survive now is to get along with the countermeasures and drag the swarm until reinforcements arrive. Retreating from the battlefield and abandoning civilians, I Bingxuan can't do it! Even if the Hell Angel can't stop the swarm, it will live and die with Eliza! ”
The captain's statement made many students with different minds hold back those small thoughts in their hearts, after all, Bing Xuan is right about one thing, in this space, since he is already on the Hell Angel, he and Bing Xuan are really people on the same boat, whether it is a mecha pilot or a fighter pilot, or something else, it is absolutely impossible to survive for too long without this battleship in this cold deep space - especially in the face of massive swarm attacks.
"So, Captain, do you and Joestar have a suitable countermeasure?" Qiao Yu suddenly asked.
"I only have one initial idea, kid. There are still a few frigates under maintenance on Eliza, and the commander of the Ireza Planet Defense Force, Major General Peter, has ordered the maintenance to end immediately and shoot these frigates to support us. My idea is that until the frigates arrive, we try not to get in close contact with the swarms first, and rely on long-range firepower to reduce their numbers. ”
"Then when the frigate arrives, we'll find a way to use the frigate to lure some small swarms away from the main swarm and lure them away. The Hell Angels, on the other hand, continued to fight the remaining main swarm, trying to delay as much time as possible. ”
To be honest, Bing Xuan's idea is not very masterful, and one of the biggest flaws in this idea is that it is not sure whether the frigate will be able to achieve the intended tactical objectives. If so, how many swarms can a frigate attract. This plays a crucial role in the success or failure of Bing Xuan's plan.
But until it is implemented, this is unknown. It can be said that luck when everything is seen.
Qiao Yu frowned, as soon as Bing Xuan said it, he noticed the most unreliable part of this plan, "Your Excellency, what if the frigate can't attract enough swarms to leave?" ”
"Then there is no good way but to let the frigates join the fleet to fend off the swarm. In a hurry, the opponent is a tendon beast, and I really don't have anything to think of. Bing Xuan sighed.
"With all due respect, Your Excellency, this ploy of yours is just a beautiful sight to behold. As soon as the frigate attraction fails, then the whole thing will collapse. We have a battleship and a few small guards, even if we add 16 mechs of the quasi-star knights, so what? It's impossible for us to stand up to a swarm. ”
"I don't need you to remind me of this, cadet!" Bing Xuan said coldly, "But even if you know that you will lose, you must not retreat from this battle, understand!" ”
"No, no, no," Qiao Yu smiled slightly, "Your Excellency, I just want to ask, do you dare to gamble." ”
"Take a gamble?"
"That's right, take a gamble. I have a plan in mind, so you might as well listen to it. ”
Bing Xuan looked at the time, "Give you 3 minutes, briefly elaborate." ”
"According to our human research, the cosmic bee is a species of bees similar to the ancient earth era, but it has a body that crosses the universe."
"I know all of this, let's talk about the key points." Bing Xuan waved his hand impatiently.
"And one of the characteristics of this population is that their queen bee is at the heart of everything. My plan is that we raid the hive, find the queen, and kill it. The swarms collapsed without a fight. ”
Hearing Qiao Yu's plan, Bing Xuan was silent for a while.
Qiao Yu's plan actually sounds very beautiful. Everything sounds easy, the Hell Angels find the hive, and then destroy the queen bee, and it can be over. But things are far from that simple.
But this idea is a good countermeasure, Bing Xuan thinks that it is at least more operable than his rather passive plan, and he feels that he should spend a little more precious time discussing this crazy gambling plan with the little guy in front of him, who is known as the ace student of Knight X Plan.
