"Stalemate"

Lieutenant General Sheffield

Electric vein z43 vein star

============

The sky above the Vein Star, where the main base of the Star Alliance is located.

The sky that was originally bright and sunny was completely blocked by a gloom that covered the sky.

At a low altitude of 4,200 meters, there are 74 warships of the three fleets of the 4th group of Zoomlion. They flew at a low speed in the air, not even as fast as the clouds. These warships are very large in size and very densely distributed, and they are now in the sky, directly blocking all the sunlight in this area.

Looking down from the sky, you can see a large group of double-sided mixed-use buildings beyond the obvious long line of the mining area.

Sheffield stood in front of the window, his hands on either side, pressed down against the seams of his trousers, like a regular soldier.

He looked down at the scene below the window and looked down as if in deep thought about something.

[Predictably stubborn resistance.] 】

At the beginning, the 4 groups of the 7th, 9th, and 24th fleets of the Central Alliance immediately converged together and headed towards the electric vein Z43 planet. Soon, they discovered the Covenant's warship complexes and complexes.

The battle was imminent, but because the United States was so well prepared that they had placed and installed a large number of energy shields and membrane flap systems in the base, so that the laser column bombardment and nano-bomb detonation of the Central Fleet had no effect at all.

And since an hour of fighting, they have been on the attack, but have not been able to break through the opponent's defenses.

"Bush is also quite forbearing, he has always adopted a defensive strategy, and he has not been able to come out of the defensive circle he has built, regardless of the great damage we have done to the surrounding ore veins."

And behind Lieutenant General Sheffield, a young officer with a strong body suddenly said.

This is Sheffield's secretary Aaron, with the rank of colonel, but he has a fierce appearance, which at first glance makes people feel that he is a Chechen militant of the 21st century.

"Indeed, these Sam's dead turtles are a tough bone to gnaw." Lieutenant General Sheffield nodded approvingly, and in front of him, a blinding laser suddenly shone brightly.

Outside the window, countless lasers flashed in the sky again, and silver lightning flashed out, illuminating the shadows that were completely obscured by the battleship group.

The air was pierced by the arc, burned by the laser, and violently vibrated by the microwave cannon.

The composition of the atmosphere has changed almost completely, countless ions have been ionized in the air, and even a complete vacuum has been cleared. The blue and violet light spread in all directions, turning into a sea of lasers and completely blocking the entire area.

"Boom" three warships, a total of 74 warships fired at the same time, and the dense and powerful firepower completely covered the entire land.

"Dropout? Drop out of Huan? 庑┛ female hooves o miasma magpie recruitment? Xie Yu Γ "Knock on the annoyance and pour 4 lotus play neon baking? Gray wandering, loyal, stunned, pastoral outing? Bi Cang x Forgiveness? The p> "Hum" "Hum" laser column swarm on those energy shields for a moment, only to be completely neutralized by them, and all the firepower is the same.

"The 19th volley, again failed!" At the same time, a reporting voice came from the other end of the contact, which sounded very angry and slightly frustrated.

"Keep your people as they are, ready to shoot again." Sheffield looked at the influence on the liaison with an indifferent face, "Kamanov, don't be too impatient, it turns out that you still have a lot to learn."

War is about attrition, and the Covenant's energy shield needs a lot of energy to replenish, so we can take turns firing salvos like this, and finally consume this energy shield, and then take it down in one fell swoop. ”

"But it's a waste of time, we ......"

"We have a lot of time, Colonel Kamanov." Sheffield's voice was deep and deep, like a prophet imparting wisdom, with a special magic that could calm people,

"You must know that although we have not been able to attack the opponent's defense for a long time, it is the United States that is in a disadvantageous situation, in other words, the Star Alliance is now quite passive, and we are completely suppressed here, and we can only defend and cannot be transferred. Remember, this intractable situation is their talisman. ”

"I see, sir." Kamanov had a look on his face that he saluted respectfully, then turned around and went about his business.

"It's teachable." Sheffield nodded slightly, he can be said to be a very kind general, very approachable to his subordinates and soldiers, it can be seen from his personal experience of battlefield command.

Kamanov was a newly promoted colonel, and he had only been in charge of the 9th Fleet for two months, and although he was qualified in tactics and strategic planning, he was still slightly lacking in some aspects.

"Connect me to McMillan." Then he turned and ordered the communicator.

"Drop"

"Mr. Lieutenant General."

"What's your energy situation, how much is left, and how long can it last?"

"There is no shortage of energy for the time being." Colonel McMillan replied, "By extracting energy crystals from a few veins on the electric vein Z43, the energy is basically not to worry about now. ”

Humanity is in the galactic age, but technology has gone beyond the scope of the galactic, after all, even the wormhole theory has been established. And things like the light-speed jump have achieved reality, but they still have to be crossed by passing, and they can't travel through time and space alone.

But there is one problem that has always plagued humanity, which is why humanity has not completely crossed the galaxy.

And this problem is the energy problem.

The speed of light would consume a lot of energy, and the consumption of this energy is so terrifying that even large-scale nuclear fusion cannot be supplied. The energy used in weapons such as laser pulses cannot be provided by nuclear energy, so humanity is in a very awkward position.

Can you imagine the helplessness of an interstellar journey that has only lasted for more than ten days, and a large transport ship has no energy at all, and it is simply impossible to move an inch in space at that time.

"It's for the best." After replying, Sheffield raised his hands and checked his secret optical brain analyzer, as if reading the information,

"According to the investigation of the intelligence system, the American side does not seem to have enough energy reserves, and since they landed on Dianmai Z43, they have been doing survey missions, and basically have not mined energy crystals, so their energy reserves are quite insufficient."

"Hmm...... That's really good news. Colonel McMillan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "As long as we keep doing this, we can completely drag the Covenant to death." Then his voice became a little gnashing, "But the situation that has not been attacked for a long time is entirely due to that traitor, if I find that damn traitor, I must dismantle him in pieces!" ”

The mole naturally refers to the unknown person who leaked the attack identification module at the beginning, before it was almost completely wiped out by the United States, the pioneer exploration team of Zoomlion also built a lot of bases on the vein star, and the energy shield protection ability of these bases is very strong, even if the Star Alliance raids, it is basically not pleased.

But due to the betrayal of the traitor, all the bases were wiped out in an instant, and there were almost no survivors, who only saved a team of dozens of people, and rushed here to launch a general attack on the Star Alliance.

"These things will be talked about later, and the top priority now is to drag down the other party." Sheffield turned his head to look out the window, the salvo had come to an end, and the sky was calm again, but there were still many pulses of light and the remnants of the domain that completely illuminated the place.

"Understood, Mr. Lieutenant General." McMillan saluted, then cut off the liaison's communications.

And after finishing the call with the two captains, Vice Admiral Sheffield came to the screen of the surveyor, sat down next to the observer, and said to himself,

"If something unexpected happens, how will this war be fought next?"

Aaron looked down at the capable middle-aged man with a serious face, and his eyes were filled with admiration.

This is Lieutenant General Sheffield, ready to use two or even several hands at any time.

"Aaron, bring me a cup of green tea."

"Yes."

A pitch-black sky was illuminated by the afterglow of the laser that had just been fired at the same time, like the dawn of dawn, breaking through all darkness and bringing light and hope.

But the Americans are now completely unbright.

Colonel Bush raised his head and looked at the Chinese United warships densely packed over his base, his face was full of dark clouds and rain, and he could not see a trace of relaxation. He kept pacing the room, looking very anxious,

The current situation of the United States is very bad, and it can only be completely suppressed in this area by Zoomlion, and it can't escape if it wants to, and it can't beat the other party at all if it wants to counterattack.

After all, the group of warships they are stationed here adds up to a total of only 26 ships, and there is only one fleet strength, while the other side has 74 attack ships and three battleship groups, and the difference in strength is too great.

In fact, the total number of troops sent by the Star Alliance this time also has three fleets, but Miller is arranged in space, and he is missing at the moment, and the other surveyed battleship group is nowhere to be found.

"They should come too, and if they don't come, they won't be able to resist it." Thinking of this, Colonel Bush couldn't help but look at the time, more than an hour had passed since the emergency notice, but the surveyed Star Alliance battleship group should have been on the other side of the electric vein Z43 planet, so he hadn't rushed over to help until now.
