Chapter 55: State of War (2)
The request from the command made Pan Wen very difficult.
After a few days of intel learning, he knew that the mercenaries had been repainted to adapt to the Sea of the Dead, so that the pirates' advantage in the non-beacon zone was only a physical additional algorithm. However, the additional algorithm is useless, that is, the second lieutenant enhances the physical imaging, and when the situation is discovered, it is still within the range of the opponent!
Galaxy scans can't get the internal information of the particle storm area, the radar is jammed, and the rest seems to be left to gamble on luck?
Looking at the composition of the fleet, Pan Wen made up his mind, anyway, there are people who lie down if there is a problem, and his own fleet still runs faster than others by virtue of its performance advantage and command authority. It seems unconscionable to think like this, but the risk is obtained by the Segeis command center, and there must be a plan to bear any consequences.
When the sixth fleet returned, the second mobile fleet went to the target direction under his command.
In the middle of the turn, Pan Wen started an impromptu video conference.
"How strong the mercenaries must not be popular, the task of the command center is very risky, but in order not to give a mouthful, we still have to complete it."
"Commander-in-chief, let's talk about it first."
The atmosphere is rather strange, and the main problem is that the mobile fleet, like many of the current fleets of Segeis, is composed of pirate private fleets, so it is difficult for the commander to give compulsory orders, so he has to explain by presenting facts and reasoning.
"I will send a reconnaissance patrol ship to reconnoitre, except for the sixth fleet, all other fleets will send a patrol ship to escort it."
"Isn't one enough?" Someone asked in a weird way.
Pan Wen raised his eyebrows, but he was not angry, but nodded with a smile: "It's really enough, it doesn't matter if you don't send patrol ships." ”
"I will send ships to support the reconnaissance ship of the commander-in-chief." As soon as Pan Wen finished speaking, he didn't expect that there was a shipowner in the fleet who knew him well, and immediately expressed his position after listening to his words.
Pan Wen looked at the picture of the shipowner who expressed his position a little unexpectedly, and always felt a little familiar, maybe he had seen it in the hearing?
Of course, he didn't have a good heart when he said that, others didn't send ships to cover their own reconnaissance ships, that's fine, anyway, the intelligence of the reconnaissance ships was not passed on to them, and it was great that they ran away without informing them of the situation, and the hellish place of the Sea of Death, the fleet of ships slowed down for a while and a half, and they really couldn't detect it, not to mention that the mission location was a non-beacon area, except for escaping the annihilation, there was almost no means to transmit information back to Segeis.
Since someone saw the bad water in his stomach and was willing to cooperate, everything was still as usual.
It's a pity that not all people can read what they say, and before the second echoing voice came out, someone immediately disagreed: "Commander-in-chief, even if the reconnaissance ship has no self-defense ability, two ships are enough, even if there are a few more patrol ships, it is impossible to curry favor in the hands of those mercenaries." ”
"What you said is very reasonable, I decided to adopt the opinion, and I and the No. 2 fleet each provide a ship to go out to reconnoitre, and the No. 6 fleet will go out to the rear, and the other fleets will form a vigilance formation, end to the target area, and the meeting will end." After Pan Wen finished speaking, he didn't care whether others would have any more opinions, and directly cut off the frequency band of the meeting.
There are too many pirates who like to raise bars with their own families, so they have been pressed by mercenaries when they occupy the tonnage advantage of ships. Of course, mercenaries can keep their memories and "resurrect" without fear of death, but the pirates' inability to unite is indeed an accomplice to the mercenaries' quick pacification of MR241.
Pan Wen had no intention of teaching these pirate leaders who thought they were the second best in the world, but it didn't prevent him from letting these guys know the cost of talking too much.
It's just a few simple clicks on the fleet joint command panel on the side of the captain's table, and the fleet of the talkative guy just now is placed in a prominent position in front of the whole fleet.
Sure enough, the captain who had a lot of problems asked for communication alone in less than two minutes, and Pan Wen thought about it and chose to answer.
"Pan Wen, you villain! I ask normal questions, why do you give me the most dangerous position? The muscles on his face twitched a little, and half of the green tendons jumped out near his temples.
"I'm the commander-in-chief of the Second Mobile Fleet, and I can afford to ask for advice, if you think I'm not good, you can turn the bow and shoot at me."
"You!! Okay, we'll see. ”
Pan Wen put forward a dead pig posture that was not afraid of boiling water, and made the other party angry, so he hung up the communication directly. Of course, he couldn't really turn the bow of the ship and fire at his own people, not to mention that what was waiting for him next was destruction, whether he could penetrate the Golden Ship was a question, and the Sea of Death affected not only communications, but also high-energy weapons.
Pan Wen shook his head, returning to his usual gloomy expression. He also has his own difficulties in coming out with such aggressive methods, mainly because this rabble is not easy to manage.
This is not like when the mercenaries invaded the Segeis corresponding jump circle in MR241, when the muzzles of people's guns had already reached their faces, and the support fleet also shouted and a large group came, and all the fleets left at that time were fighting with their backs, and it was themselves who kept their own small ninety-nine pits. Now, although the asteroid pile where Segeis is located has been hit by a hot melt, after all, the war has not touched the scope of Segeis's armed defenses, so most of the pirates feel that the environment is relatively safe and are not willing to take too high a risk of action.
The fleet is private, and the illusion that they can still get mixed up is directly reflected in the chain of command, that is, the command is immobile, and there are generally two ways for pirates to solve this situation: the commander fleet and the other fleets advance and retreat together, share the risk, or as Pan Wen did earlier, and reason with the facts. However, when the reason does not make sense, it is still necessary to force orders with some tough attitude, otherwise the fleet will increase the risks that should not be taken in vain.
Pan Wen's strategy is actually a kind of sharing risks and costs, but this kind of risk and cost is not borne by all sub-fleets at the same time, but in turns, for example, the No. 6 fleet spent the mine expenses at the No. 10167 beacon, then this fleet will stay in a safer position in the entire combined fleet formation for a period of time, and so on, his No. 1 fleet and the No. 2 fleet that helped in the short meeting spent reconnaissance ships and escort patrol ships, so the commanders of the two fleets retreated to the other fleets behind did not come to talk nonsense.
Through these small and no small targets, Pan Wen has almost clearly seen the ability, quality, and degree of obedience of each branch of the Second Mobile Fleet in just two tasks. In the future, if he encounters a very dangerous situation, he will be able to know which fleet can be reluctantly trusted, and which fleet will go it alone, keeping these in mind, so that he will not be killed by his pig teammates.
Back in action, the modified Hawkeye-class reconnaissance ship sailed with escort ships at a distance of about 200,000 kilometers in front of the main fleet, and in the non-buoy area, even if it was only a distance of 200,000 kilometers, the communication needed to be relayed, and the reconnaissance array dropped along the way could not be recovered due to the low safety of the fighters in the particle storm.
Penetrating about a million kilometers into the non-buoy area, the fleet detected a relatively clear signal, which is a pirate standard distress signal.
"Notify the whole fleet to change the course to starboard +45 degrees, and bypass the distress target point."
"Yes, Captain." After answering, Nadezhda paused, and then asked, "What reason do we use to tell them?" ”
"Just say that there may be an ambush, and if there is disobedience, agree to act alone." For Pan Wen, disobedient men died early, because they would be more dangerous than the enemy at a special time.
After the order was issued, there was no branch fleet that maintained the course alone, and it was clear that everyone was not too concerned about the lives of other pirates, and their own lives were more important.
After a few minutes of inertia direction adjustment, the new information in front has also arrived, and the call point is in non-inertial activity, which means that the target is doing active maneuvering, that is, the ship is still good.
After thinking about it, Pan Wen decided to use the reconnaissance ship as bait.
"Notify the hangar to activate the second remote command channel of Hawkeye 4. And send the second remote command to the second fleet. ”
If the reconnaissance ship is used as bait, the main fleet needs to leave the reconnaissance array throwing line, and the Sea of Death cannot support remote control operations over long distances, so the remote control can only be handed over to the escort ships of the second fleet.
The second fleet quickly sent feedback, which would complete the "rescue" mission well, and said that they wanted Pan Wen to introduce the factory that could do remote control modification.
Seeing that the owner of the No. 2 fleet could quickly decide to obey the order and let his men risk their lives, Pan Wen was finally willing to put his heart into remembering this person-Wang Xiaoxiao. It's a funny name, because all of them are men, and they are the type with wide hearts and fat bodies. Of course, the other party is willing to use living people and remote-controlled patrol ships to do tasks, Pan Wen is not stingy with the name of a one-star coin factory, and the designated factory of the black house is not an exclusive business, even if ordinary people go through normal channels, they will sell some "internal" projects.
After handing over control, the main body of the 2nd Mobile Fleet once again changed direction away from the reconnaissance array throwing line and hid in the Sea of Death.
On the other side, the escort ship and the reconnaissance ship slowly approached the distress signal, and found that a small pirate fleet of only three ships had lost its way in the Sea of Death, and had no choice but to use the special distress signal with strong penetration to find friendly troops.
No matter how far-fetched the reason, the escort ships still guided the Trek fleet back with the reconnaissance array throwing line with the reconnaissance array, and in the process, several ships stepped into the range of nearly 100 main guns, but there was no follow-up.
When the escort ships guided the Trek fleet to the course, reported the situation to Segeis, and returned, the main fleet did not wait for the suspicious target. There must be people in the fleet below who question Pan Wen for being too cautious, but it won't have more impact, in battle, it's not too cautious to be cautious before seeing the enemy, and it's another thing to see the enemy.
……
In the Sea of Death, on a certain ship, a few guys were waiting a little anxiously.
"Hasn't Tsuchinomiya returned yet?"
"We've got people in the stationary cabin." The word forum is occasionally blocked in the second world, so here everyone is accustomed to directly replacing it with a stationary cabin used for the offline line.
"It's so strange, it's clear that they've already come into contact with the rescue force......"
"It's coming, it's coming!" Outside, a man dressed in the uniform of a master chief ran in, "Report to the chief, Tsuchimiya said that the rescue force only appeared a reconnaissance ship and a patrol ship, and the scale was so small that he should not dare to enter and exit the Sea of Death at will, and he suspected that the main fleet was somewhere, so he returned to Segeis first according to the normal procedure." ”
The atmosphere cooled down for a while, and the so-called chief nodded: "Got it, go and inform their liaison, it's up to me to decide whether it's an attack or not, they just need to provide information as soon as possible." ”
"Ha Yi!"
