Chapter 177: Return to Proxima Centauri (Part II)

Trailblazer space station.

Once the Stady Mining Company's mineral processing and refining center, the Trailblazer space station has a U-shaped structure, with a concave central area of the station that can be used by giant space carriers from far away to other galaxies. The extension area on both sides is equipped with several large articulation frames, which can accommodate up to 18 transport ships of less than 5 million tons. In addition, the arc-shaped area behind the space station is home to the mineral refinery and a large warehouse, but now, after a large-scale military transformation by Major Barron, the mineral refinery has been transformed into a production workshop for general parts for ships and space shuttles, and a large number of weapons and ammunition reserves are hoarded in the warehouse, plus a large number of supplies recently transferred by Chief of Staff Yalvis from the Charon space fortress, the total amount of which is enough to meet the needs of a medium-scale battle.

"Welcome back, General!"

When Robin, dressed in the uniform of a major general of the Republic, stepped out of the locks of the ship's cabin, Major Barron and Major Afra, who had already been greeted at the space dock, immediately stood and saluted on both sides of the passage with their officers.

"Good work." Robin straightened his military hat slightly, and saluted the officers in a standard military stance.

Due to the urgency of the current situation, Robin did not greet the officers who had not been seen for a long time at the passage, but hurried straight to the command center of the Pioneer space station.

"What about Chief of Staff Yalvis? Hasn't he come yet? On the way to the Pioneer Space Station Command Center, Robin looked at the Pioneer Space Station that had completed military transformation with a solemn expression, and while expressing satisfaction with Major Barron's work, he couldn't help but ask about Chief of Staff Yárvis.

Hearing Robin's question, Major Barron, who was following closely behind Robin, immediately stepped forward and reported: "Chief of Staff Yarvis had arrived two days ago, but since he received the latest battle report from the new federal army three hours ago, he was currently calling an emergency meeting of the staff and could not come to meet the general. ”

"The latest battle report?" Robin's brows tightened when he heard this, a trace of bad premonition grew in his heart, and he hurriedly quickened his pace and broke into the command center

"General."

The moment Robin stepped into the command center, the staff officers of the staff who had been immersed in deliberations immediately stood up and saluted, and the chief of staff, Brigadier General Jarvis, also slightly stretched his brows and greeted Robin.

Robin returned the salute and took off his military hat and threw it to the orderly who followed closely behind: "How's the situation?" ”

"In the past three hours, the fleet of the former Admiral Patrium has been pinned by the joint attack of the Othello Star Guardian Fleet and the Hermes Spaceport Garrison, and has now withdrawn from the Othello Star Defense Circle, in the area of Bruno Planet and Eugene? Mellon's fleet engaged in a tug-of-war. Seeing Robin's impatient inquiry, Chief of Staff Jarvis informed Robin of the latest information he had received.

"Planet Bruno's ......" Robin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "When I heard Major Barron mention the latest battle report of the new federal army, I thought that Admiral Patalem's fleet had been annihilated. ”

"Although it has not yet been annihilated, the situation is really not optimistic. As you know, the situation on Bruno is not equipped with enough anti-aircraft fire defense to give the space fleet too much ground fire support. Therefore, Admiral Patalem, who was besieged there, was afraid that he would not be able to get out for a long time, and even if he ventured to break through, I am afraid that the fleet would be hit by the destruction of Xìng. Chief of Staff Yalves shook his head worriedly.

"This Admiral Patlem is really not enough to succeed and more than defeated, obviously got such a good start, but chose not to fight the Hermes spaceport and the space station industrial park, but chose to go straight to the planet Othello, his confidence is really too much." Robin rubbed his temples: "I just want to pray now that he doesn't choose to break through as soon as his brain is hot, then there is really no way to turn the tables." ”

"Admiral Patrium is inevitably confident after making such a good start, and he wants to decide the winner by directly attacking Othello. However, he did not expect to encounter the high-density defensive fire of the orbital ring of Othello, and after being slowed down in the pace of attack, he gave the three garrison fleets enough time to intercept and thus led to defeat. Speaking of this, Chief of Staff Yalvis shook his head with some regret: "If his fleet is more combat-effective and more determined to attack, it may really be possible to directly attack Othello Planet, in that case, the situation will not be as complicated as it is now." ”

"Don't forget, his army has just experienced a total defeat in the solar system, and immediately throwing a newly defeated army into a decisive battle is ...... This Patrium literally drilled into Ansel's trap by himself. Robin complained disgruntly about the tactical mistakes of the new Federation Admiral Patlem, and at the same time took the latest tactical map and the map of the movement of the forces of the enemy and the enemy from the staff officer on one side.

"At present, the fleet of Othello and the fleet of the Hermes spaceport have formed a siege of the Patlem fleet, basically locking Patlem in the area of Bruno planet. Eugene? Mellon's tactics were to encircle on three sides, opening only one passage in an attempt to make Patlaim use a breakout tactic. Seeing that Robin had already begun to review the tactical map, Chief of Staff Yalvis hurriedly described the frontline battle for Robin in detail.

"Circumference three missing one? Hum...... Eugene? Mellon is ruthless enough. "Robin saw through Eugene at a glance? Mellon's tactical intentions suddenly showed a thick gloom in his eyes.

"yes, Eugene? Mellon's plan was to annihilate Patlem's fleet entirely, his intention should be to mass-inflict the new federal army, gradually encroach on Patlem's fleet, and take advantage of the lack of a logistical supply system to gradually snuff out Blair's military power. ”

"Eugene? Mellon was much more clever than Patlem, and he put Patlem into a desperate situation. As long as Patlem can't withstand the pressure and risk breaking through, then Eugene? Mellon could bite Patlem's tail and eat away at Patlem's fleet little by little. And if Patalum is determined to defend to the death, the officers and men of the fleet, who lack logistical supplies and have just experienced two defeats, will surely be in a mood for a while, and may not last long before leading to a mutiny. ”

"That's what I thought too." Jarvis nodded approvingly: "No matter how you look at it, Patlem is already in a desperate situation, I'm afraid it ......"

"Patlem's fleet must not be annihilated! ~This is currently the only military force in the Federation that can compete with Ansel, if he is defeated by Eugene? Mellon is wiped out, and when Anse Air stabilizes the Alpha system, both us and Blair's new Federation will be vulnerable to his fleet. Robin gritted his teeth and walked back and forth in front of the huge electronic map in the command center, desperately thinking about how to turn the tide.

"The only way at the moment is to contact Blair right away and use him to stabilize Patlem, so that Patlaim can temporarily give up his intention to break through for a while longer. In this case, when the Republic's reinforcement fleet arrives, maybe we will have a chance to turn the tables. Jarvis stared at Robin's changing face and tried to mention the results that the staff had just discussed.

"Impossible." Robin shook his head bitterly: "The republic's reinforcement fleet only has one 90-million-ton 'Shenzhou' aircraft carrier and five 'Knife' frigates, and because the deployment of this fleet will affect the garrison force of the Pluto system, it will take a lot of adjustment time to transfer personnel and equipment in the country, and by the time this fleet really participates in the war, maybe Patalem will have been wiped out long ago." ”
