Chapter 59: Red Alert (Part II)

Pulling Christine into the bridge of the TR-735 in a rage, Robin roared in a roaring voice: "Cecilia, call the captains of all ships in the fleet to come here for a meeting immediately, and the captains of the marines will also come to this ship immediately." ”

"Robin, ...... you" Borg looked at Robin blankly, not understanding why Robin gave such an order.

"What are you still doing! ~" Seeing that everyone was still stunned, Robin suddenly slapped the table and roared: "Execute it immediately!" ~”

"Good...... Ok ......"

Perhaps frightened by Robin's nervous look, Cecilia immediately sent this urgent order to the ships as Robin had indicated. And Borg, who was aware of it, cautiously pushed all the crew members out of the bridge, and asked in a deep voice: "Robin, calm down, what happened?" ”

Looking at the Borg with a solemn face, Robin sat down on the chair with a pale face: "Enemy attack...... It was a large-scale invasion of the Federation Army......"

“……”

When the terrible words 'enemy attack' came out of Robin's mouth, the faces of Borg and Cecilia suddenly turned bloody.

After experiencing the July War, they clearly knew how terrible the war was, and now the war had just ended for more than half a year, although everyone was already ready for the second war, but no one, including Robin, thought that the war would come so suddenly. Moreover, with the area where the TR-735 is currently located, it is quite possible that it will become the first victims of the second war.

Borg, who had always shown himself with a steady appearance, could not hide the panic in his heart at this moment, he slumped in his chair and muttered, "Are you ...... Are you sure? ”

"Sure."

Robin replied in the affirmative, and as he answered, the air in the bridge seemed to freeze, and the person was breathless.

Compared to Robin, an infantryman from the army, Borg and Cecilia are more aware of the current dire situation. Because if it is really a large-scale invasion of the Federation Army, then the first batch to come through the R-N black hole must be the Vanguard Fleet with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Federation Army, and the Pioneer Fleet will block the signal of the nearby star field as soon as it arrives, and perform a large-scale armed sweep in order to clear all obstacles for the main fleet that is about to arrive.

In such a situation, the TR-735 fleet, which is located very close to the Kuiper ring fault channel, is equivalent to standing on the cusp of the storm, if it were not for the large number of celestial bodies in the Kuiper belt, which hindered the detection of the space radar of the federal army, the current fleet would have become dust in the universe.

The huge gap in combat power makes the TR-735 fleet unable to choose combat means such as breaking through to seek survival in the face of this situation. Because if you actually compare the difference in combat power between the two sides, the TR-735 fleet, which has almost no armed firepower, is like seven logistics personnel with only wrenches as weapons, and they are surrounded by thousands of knights of the Knights of the Twin Star Order. In such a desperate situation, it is purely a fool's dream to break through, let alone break through, as long as the TR-735 fleet hidden in the Kuiper belt is discovered by any detachment of the Federal Army, then the overwhelming shipborne missiles will immediately tear the TR-735 fleet to shreds like piranhas that smell blood.

A few minutes later, the captains and marines of the ships who received the flagship's emergency order arrived at the TR-735 and held an emergency combat meeting on the bridge under the call of the flagship captain Cecilia and the commander-in-chief of the aviation marines, Robin. As a source of intelligence, Christine also participated in this emergency meeting with Robin's special permission, which only officers of all ships could attend.

At the meeting, Robin played the video surveillance footage transmitted by the surveillance tower in public, which was only a dozen seconds long. Judging from the picture, a large number of Federation warships are pouring out of the R-N black hole like a school of fish, and after zooming in on the screen, everyone can clearly distinguish that the warships used by the Vanguard fleet from the Raymond Federation are the rare 100-million-ton Titan aircraft carriers and 30-million-ton Apollo battleships in the July War.

During the July War, the Titan aircraft carriers and Apollo battleships of the Federation Army had caused great damage to the Republic fleet, and if it were not for the fact that the Federation Army had planted a large number of old warships that had been eliminated by the regular combat sequence in the integrated fleet sent by the Federation Army due to the light enemy, then in the space battle of Pluto, the Republic would definitely not have the upper hand and win the entire battle. After all, compared with the 'Knife' frigate, the main battleship of the Republic's Space Fleet, the 30-million-ton Apollo-type battleship is much stronger than the 10-million-ton 'Knife' frigate in terms of shipboard firepower, missile range, and air defense capabilities. In terms of aircraft carriers, the 100-million-ton Titan aircraft carrier has an overwhelming advantage.

At present, the armed forces of a comprehensive fleet of the Republic include two 'Shenzhou' aircraft carriers, about 20 'Knife' frigates, and 30 to 50 4-million-ton 'Red Star' cruisers.

With such a military armament, it was quite difficult to win the space battle during the July War. And now, when the Raymond Federation dispatches the real main fleet, the true strength of a comprehensive fleet of the Republic may not even be able to fight a fleet of the Federation Army. Therefore, after identifying the composition of the federal fleet as consisting of Titan aircraft carriers and Apollo battleships, the officers, including Robin, did not expect the patrol of the Marseille Space Fortress to come to their rescue. With this disparity in combat power, perhaps the patrol fleets that patrol the Kuiper Ring Fault Passage have now become the first victims of the war.

The grim situation made the atmosphere of the meeting extremely tense and depressing, and the dozen or so republican officers present watched the video footage that was only ten seconds old over and over again, as if they were not attending a fleet operations meeting at this moment, but their own funeral.

"Sir, are you sure this video is real?"

After a long silence, an Air Marine captain serving on the AT-056 suddenly asked Robin.

And with his question, the captains of the ships who were as if they had suddenly awakened, and began to look at Christine, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, with suspicion.

Feeling everyone's distrust of him, the young Christine's face suddenly turned red, and she jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Do you suspect that I did something in the video screen? ”

"It's not impossible." Lieutenant Barron, the captain of the AT-056, glanced at Christine, snorted coldly, and said, "You are a stowaway who came back from Captain Robin's captivity, and you should know very well that if we return to Marseille Space Fortress, then you will be subject to a public trial by the Space Fortress Law Department." So it is beneficial for you to create an atmosphere of panic so that the fleet stays in the Kuiper belt. As long as we believe this video, then the ships will immediately fall into a panic, and then you will have a good chance to escape. ”

"And ......" Lieutenant Barron patted Christine's bio hard: "You are a computer expert, and it is not difficult for you to falsify such a video." After all, there are many people who can create a war movie on their own with just one computer, so in comparison, forging this video that is only a dozen seconds is just pediatric. ”

As soon as Lieutenant Barron said this, all the officers present immediately began to talk to each other, nodding their heads in agreement with Lieutenant Barron's reasoning from time to time, and even Borg and Cecilia began to suspect Christine.

"You ...... You ......" Christine was indignant and trembled her lips and roared: "How could I do such a stupid thing? ”

"Stupid?" Lieutenant Barron sneered: "This is not stupid, it should be a very clever trick." Do you expect me to believe in your loyalty to the republic? Believing in the loyalty of a stowaway? Don't you think that's ridiculous? ”

"I ......"

Under Lieutenant Barron's sharp words, Christine felt that he could not argue, he never expected that things would turn out like this, and for a while, the extreme loss made him bow his head in despair, and clenched his fists that were still handcuffed by electronic hands in shame.

And just as Christine was about to lose her mind because she was misunderstood, a powerful palm suddenly landed on his shoulder and patted him hard like encouragement.

Turning back in shock, Christine found Robin standing behind him, looking at him with clear eyes, and what was revealed in his eyes was trust.

For the desperate Christine, the trust in Robin's eyes was like a straw in the hands of a drowning man, which made his angry heart calm down instantly. He resisted the emotion in his heart and sat down quietly, as if nothing had happened.

"Lieutenant Barron......" reassured Christine, Robin looked up at Lieutenant Barron, and said with great seriousness: "Lieutenant Barron, can you guarantee that the truth is really what you say?" Can you guarantee that the Confederates have not invaded, and that the Kuiper Ring Fault is as safe as your back garden? ”

"I ......"

In the face of Robin's questioning, Lieutenant Barron lowered his head evasively and admitted, "I can't." ”

"That's right, you can't, so it's just your personal guess and not a conclusion." Robin propped his hands on the table and looked around, "I'm not here to guess what would have happened if this hadn't happened, but what should we do if the Federation Army did launch an invasion as seen in the video?" That's the whole point of this meeting! ~”
