Chapter 127: Stabilizing the Rear (Part II)

Robin's conclusion that Anse Air would take out the Octopus station caused a cacophony in the room. All the officers began to talk to each other, and a kind of wartime euphoria began to permeate.

"We should immediately increase the number of troops stationed at the Octopus station." On behalf of the Army Commander, Aubrey was the first to express his opinion.

"Increasing the number of garrisons does not have a real effect, our strength is too weak compared to those big families, and under the rules of the Federation, they have many ways to deal with us. Therefore, it would be extremely irrational to confront him, and for this reason I intend to change the location of Major Barron's fleet. Robin turned and marked on the star chart that it had belonged to York? Stanley's 'Trailblazer' space station: "It used to belong to Stanley Mining, but now it belongs to Miss Martina. On the way here, I had already discussed this matter with Miss Martina, and I was ready to abandon the Octopus station and transfer the bridgehead of the autonomous region to the Pioneer space station on the edge of the northern star field far from the space station industrial zone. ”

"It's too remote, so it's not good for transportation and getting information." As Chief of Staff, Yalvis saw at a glance the geographical disadvantage of the Trailblazer space station.

"Yes, there are real disadvantages in terms of transportation and access to information compared to the Octopus space station. But don't forget, it's clear that Anse Air is now consolidating the core of Proxima Centauri. Robin pointed to the E-18 White Hole in the Northern Star Field: "After Anse El obtained the position of Governor of Police, he has begun to gradually transfer the defense authority of the Space Police Station to the military, and secretly established many police station facilities there that can be turned into military fortifications at any time. It was clear that he was preparing for war. When he officially took a stand, if Federal President Dawson overreacted, then it is very likely that the Capital Convoy from the Federal Capital Planet Alpha will appear in the Northern Star Field through the E-18 White Hole, so in the future, it is likely to evolve into the center of the battlefield. And Anse Air is now desperately consolidating control in the rear, hoping to make up for the geographical disadvantage. ”

"In that case, then we shouldn't give up on the Octopus station. If the bridgehead is transferred to the Pioneer space station, although it can avoid the center of the engagement to a certain extent, it also loses the prerequisite for first-hand information. "Yálvis is still sticking to the idea of holding on to the Octopus station.

"If the war officially starts, do you think the information system of the Octopus space station will be able to transmit information under the premise of a military information blockade?" Shaking his head at Jarvis, Robin sighed, "And even if we don't take this element into account, will we really be able to keep the Octopus station?" Don't forget, the Octopus space station is nothing more than a temporary station that we leased from the Hermes spaceport. For five million Federal, we've only been granted a one-year lease, and it's coming soon. If Eugene? Mellon is now offering 500 million in lease fees, do we really have to pay them so much money? ”

“……”

Robin's answer made everyone present speechless.

Robin knew that in their concept, the Octopus Station had been built by them, and they thought it should be theirs. But they forgot that this was not a republic, and under the commercial system of the Federation, even the Byron Heavy Metal Trading Company, which Martina had created, would be taken away for nothing, not to mention that it was just a small space station.

"Don't be so pessimistic, although it is emotionally difficult to accept to give up the Octopus space station, but in terms of practical results, it definitely outweighs the disadvantages." Robin slapped the table vigorously, and after everyone turned their eyes to themselves, he said loudly: "Compared with the Octopus space station, the Pioneer space station is much larger in area, at least our humpback whale type VII transport ship can directly dock in the space port of the space station, and there is no need to use the method of loading and unloading in the air like the Octopus space station." In addition, Anse Air has clearly drawn the core triangle on the map, in other words, he is ready to give up the areas outside the core triangle. It just so happens that the planet Bruno and the Pioneer space station under our control are both in the area he has abandoned, which means that even if there is a war in the future, the impact on our jurisdiction will definitely not be very large. And even if the worst happens, the Pioneer space station near Bruno will be able to transport the people and resources we stayed on Bruno as quickly as possible, and connect them to the Ultra Nebula. So, if the Trailblazer space station is used as a bridgehead, then while Anse Air draws his core triangle, we also draw our own core triangle. ”

"And what about the transportation of supplies?" Buzz frowned: "At present, our supplies are all purchased from the industrial zone, and if the bridgehead is relocated to the Pioneer space station, it will be very difficult to transport the supplies. ”

"Supplies are indeed a big problem, but since I decided to establish the Ultra Nebula Autonomous Region, I never expected that the living materials in the autonomous region would be provided entirely by the Northern Star Domain." Robin pointed to his feet, "Don't forget how we defeated the Bloody Harry, who was knocked out by us when he was starved and skinny. Therefore, I will absolutely not allow us to repeat his mistakes and let the lifeline of more than 5 million people be held in the hands of the enemy again. ”

"At present, I have purchased a large number of ecological recycling equipment, so in the next long time, the construction of the production base of daily materials will be our first construction goal. And this aspect will be the sole responsibility of Nishizawa. ”

"I'm going to try to do my best." Affected by the tense atmosphere of the meeting, Nishizawa stood up and hurriedly expressed his position.

"I hope your answer is to do your best."

Robin glanced at Nishizawa with his gaze, and turned to draw a large circle in the area of the Ultra Nebula on the star chart: "All the Federation people think that the Ultra Nebula is a desolate and barren frontier area, and if it weren't for the incredible amount of rare substances that can be collected here, people wouldn't feel any value here. But why did the Federation invade the nine-star republic in the solar system? Aren't they aiming for the incredible production of rare materials and solid methane ice in the outer Kuiper rings of the solar system? And these two things are exactly what the Ultra Nebula has. ”

"Then in that case, why didn't the Federation try its best to develop the Ultra Nebula on the premise of having it, but chose to attack the Nine-Star Republic, which is a more expensive way to obtain a star field that doesn't make much difference?" Most of you didn't think carefully about why the Federation would attack the Nine-Star Republic. So, when Robin made this argument at this moment, Butz, the head of the logistics department, who was extremely sensitive to resources, immediately threw out his own questions.

"Kuiper rings are formed by the impurities thrown out by the solar nebula after the formation of the solar system, so after an energy explosion of energy, these impurities thrown away by the solar system are several times higher in purity and density than the evolving Ultra Nebula. In addition, although the topography of the Kuiper ring is very similar to that of the Ultra Nebula, the Kuiper ring has several faults, and the channels of these faults are all cosmic standard shipping lanes that can be navigated by billion-ton giant ships, plus the only R-N black hole and white hole in the solar system are hidden in the Kuiper Fault Channel, so in terms of transportation, the Kuiper ring of the solar system can only provide more than 10 million tons of ships sailing on the Ultra Nebula. ”

"In addition to the above, due to ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
