Chapter 115: Subversion (II)
Octopus space station. {}
It was once the home base of the TR-735 fleet, but now, as Robin has shifted his strategic focus to the Ultra Nebula, it has become a material transfer point connecting the Ultra Nebula to the Northern Domain.
Recently, due to Nishizawa's large-scale procurement, a large number of materials have been transported here, sorted out by the Octopus space station, and shipped to the remote Ultra Nebula.
Compared with the huge amount of materials currently hoarded, the original fleet transportation capacity of the Octopus space station can no longer meet the demand. So after some discussion, Robin ordered a 6-million-ton Humpback Whale VII transport ship at the Hermes spaceport to greatly increase the total number of ships carried by the fleet.
"It's a behemoth."
Standing in the control tower of the Octopus space station, Major Barron, the commander of the fleet, looked at the huge dark blue ship not far away with a shocked gaze. Compared to their sheer size, the nearby Catfish I transports were negligible.
"Huh...... We have a bigger one, as long as we bring this batch of supplies back, I believe it will be able to fly again soon. Robin looked down at the statistical report at hand, with the total transportation volume of six million tons of this humpback whale type VII transport ship, it only takes two rounds to basically transport the urgently needed materials to the Ultra Nebula, and the shortage of materials caused by the rapid increase in population in the 'chaotic capital' can also be properly solved.
"Sir, Major Christine has arrived by boat." At this time, Infantry Second Lieutenant Andrew came to report.
"Let him come to me as soon as he gets off the boat." Robin nodded, turned his head and said to Major Barron, who was still staring at the humpback whale type VII transport ship: "Barron, Christine has established a complete communication system on the Ultra Nebula, as long as the information terminal of the Octopus space station is slightly improved, all the information in the future can be transmitted to the chaotic capital as soon as possible." Therefore, as the commander of the Octopus space station, you are not only responsible for the future flow of materials, but also for the analysis and aggregation of various intelligence, the transfer of various ships, and the distribution of materials. Your position is critical, and if anything happens, the Octopus Station will be the first stronghold to be hit......"
"I know that since I left the Kuiper Ring with you, I already know that I am no longer just the captain of a logistics transport ship. Rest assured, I'll take care of everything here. Barron smiled confidently.
Barron was the man of choice for Chief of Staff Yalves, and although he had only been in the staff for a short time, he had already shown his ability to take charge of himself. Among Robin's current subordinates, only Barron has the ability to reassure Robin to hand over the key stronghold of the Octopus Space Station to him.
"I'll let Andrew stay and help you, and you can rest assured that he will be in charge of the security of the space station and the fleet."
Looking back at Second Lieutenant Andrew, who was standing straight like a javelin, Barron nodded approvingly: "I'm looking forward to working with you, Second Lieutenant Andrew." ”
Andrew gave a military salute when he heard the words: "Yes, sir"
Soon after, the AT-089 ship returned from the Ultra Nebula was docked, and Christine, who arrived with the ship, appeared in front of Robin with several information liaisons.
"Thank you for your hard work." Seeing Christine's tired appearance, Robin said in an apologetic tone.
"I've been used to it for a long time." Christine saluted lazily, and casually threw the toolbox to a few technicians behind her: "Go and dismantle the information terminal here first, and notify me when the dismantling is complete." ”
After sending the technicians away, Christine immediately sat down on the sofa like a loose bone: "I've been tired of the past few months, and when the things in this place are done, I must apply for a long vacation." ”
Ever since Robin arrived in Proxima Centauri with his fleet, Christine has been in charge of information. Now, the fleet can complete the construction of information from scratch, Christine has played a key role in it, as Robin's territory continues to expand, Christine's workload has become more and more difficult, and it is understandable that he will have such complaints.
"I'm not in charge of the vacation, let's talk to Yalvis." Robin smiled and sat down beside Christine.
"Looking for him?" Christine's eyes widened: "Forget it, if I look for him, I don't want to have a day off in my life." ”
In the fleet, except for Lee, only Christine, a hairy boy, dares to be as big or small as Robin.
"Tell me about the City of Chaos, what's going on over there? Nothing major happened. Robin knew that Christine's complaint was not finished, so he digressed from the topic and asked.
"Lieutenant Colonel Aubrey has been appointed commander of the army by Chief of Staff Yalves to take over the defense of the fleet, and with him, no one in those free people dares to make trouble. It's just that after the influx of refugees, the supplies in the chaotic capital are somewhat unavailable. However, these new freedmen know that you are now shopping in Proxima Centauri, so it did not cause a large panic, and in addition, Major Butz of the logistics department did have a way, all the supplies were managed by him in an orderly manner, and he could basically arrange all aspects of the supply. ”
Major Booz is Robin's old acquaintance in Charon, and Robin naturally knows his abilities.
"And what about that 'knife' frigate, what did Old Jack say? How much combat effectiveness can be restored after repair? Hearing that the current situation in the 'City of Chaos' was going well, Robin asked about the inspection of the 'Knife' frigates, which will be the main combat force of the fleet in the future.
"Old Jack said he could fix the big guy as long as he had his supply of parts. As for the frigate's previously damaged shipboard systems, Lieutenant Colonel Lei Zhe also guaranteed that they could be restored. Speaking of this, Christine smiled excitedly: "As long as that frigate is repaired, our fleet will finally have a qualified capital battleship." ”
Christine's words made Robin breathe a sigh of relief, although judging from the all-out war that the Republic is currently facing, the addition of a 'Knife' frigate will not change the situation of the war in a substantive sense at all. But from the standpoint of Robin's fleet, which is deep behind enemy lines, it has a completely different meaning.
As the main warship, a warship of this class is the exclusive armed force of the military. Therefore, even with a 'Knife' frigate that can only exert 30% of its combat power, Bloody Harry dares to defy all the mercenaries in Proxima Centauri, and single-handedly turn the Northern Star Domain upside down.
Therefore, as long as this 'Knife' frigate can be completely repaired and equipped with officers and soldiers who can really exert its combat effectiveness, there will be no civilian forces in the entire federation that can compete with Robin. Only when the federal military dispatches a real army can it pose a substantial threat to Robin.
And even if this worst-case scenario occurs in the future, Robin is confident that he will take advantage of the special geographical advantage of the Ultra Nebula to defend it. After all, in the dense Ultra Nebula, the narrow channel can only allow ships of less than 10 million tons to sail in it, and among the various warships of the Federation, the lowest-level battleship 'Whale Shark' frigate, which can compete with the 'Knife' frigate, also has 15 million tons. Therefore, as long as Robin establishes a large-scale ecological circulation system in the 'City of Chaos' that can solve the daily needs of millions of people, Robin will have the confidence to resist the encirclement and suppression of the military with this frigate alone. When the time comes, even if he wants to establish himself as king in the Ultra Nebula, the mighty Raymond Federation will be completely helpless...
