Chapter 177: Return to Proxima Centauri (Part I)
Proxima Centauri, the northern star field. {}
Under the empty dark starry sky, an invisible distorted bō pattern suddenly appeared from the starry sky like an illusion. Suddenly, the bow of a blue-black ship emerged from the void like a fish breaking free from the water, and instantly appeared in this star field shrouded in the light of Proxima Centauri.
In a star field not far away, a space shuttle patrol group ordered to anchor here immediately inquired and arrived, and spontaneously took up the escort work of the 15-million-ton 'Whale Shark' frigate that had just detached from the E-18 White Dòng.
The 'Whale Shark' frigate, which has been erased from its numbering and devoid of any nationality insignia, is from the Barnard system and is one of the seven scrapped ships that Blair's new federal government paid Robin not long ago.
It has now been more than a week since Blair's new federal government launched a frontal assault on the Othello Military Triangle under Anse Air. Although Blair's new federal army used a surprise attack to create an extremely good start at the beginning, the three fleets stationed on Othello, Hermes Spaceport and the space station industrial park took advantage of the terrain to form a defensive area in depth, which made the new federal army fleet led by Admiral Patelem immediately attacked from all sides after breaking through the outer defense circle of Othello. It has become a lone army trapped in enemy-occupied territory, and it is precarious. So, Blair, who realized that the situation was critical? Rex immediately appealed to Robin, who was an ally, and asked Robin to immediately urge the Republic fleet to arrive in Proxima Centauri to join the war, in order to help Admiral Patlum out of his current predicament.
Blair who was encouraged by Robin? Unbeknownst to Rex, Robin had reached a formal agreement with the Republican High Command just two days earlier. In addition, based on the Republic's warship losses in the Great Patriotic War, the warships left in the country can only meet the defense tasks of the Pluto Domain, and there is simply not enough to assemble a complete fleet to expedition to the Proxima Centauri Domain in a short period of time.
This point was underestimated even by Robin, who had single-handedly designed this strategic plan, and he seriously underestimated the destructive power of the Second Expedition of the Federation to the Republic, and did not expect that the Republic that won the Great Patriotic War had reached the point where it could not gather a complete fleet for the expedition. In other words, the military power that the Republic and Robin have combined is actually completely inferior to Blair at present? Rex's new federal government fǔ army also did not provide much military assistance.
But Blair? The reason why Rex willingly participated in the tripartite alliance planned by Robin was to obtain military assistance from the Republic. Robin must do his best to conceal the lack of republican forces in order to continue to ensure the effectiveness of this alliance agreement, and how to solve the crisis of destruction faced by the new Federation fleet under Admiral Trem has become a top priority.
Therefore, after learning about the real situation of the Republican ** team, as well as receiving Blair? After Rex's urgent request for help, Robin didn't have time to deal with the many tasks assigned by the central computer 'Gaia', so he rushed back to the northern star field of Proxima Centauri in person non-stop, and all matters in the Barnard system were handled by Cecilia and Xia Zuo through negotiation.
Originally, according to Robin's idea, he had tried to reach the Northern Star Domain a day before on the only existing warship under his command, the 'Assembly'. However, considering that the 'Assembly' was currently carrying a central computer extension, and its important xìng had been out of the tactical mission, Robin could only be forced to exclude it from the combat sequence, and instead selected a lightly damaged 'Whale Shark' frigate from the seven scrapped battleships, and after the emergency repair when Old Jack mobilized the entire mechanical minister for 36 xiǎo, he reluctantly repaired the battleship so that it could participate in the combat mission independently.
Currently, the captain of this battleship is Major Boris, the lieutenant commander of the 'Assembly', Lieutenant Commander Lieutenant Commander Reich. Like Lieutenant Commander Reich, he came from the Marseille Space Fortress Fleet, and has been the captain of a frigate for five years, and is a frigate captain with a very high technical level. After being defeated and captured and placed under Robin's command, Major Boris was only able to serve as an adjutant on the 'Assembly' because of the scarcity of battleships under Robin's command. But in terms of piloting a frigate alone, its ability is even more outstanding than that of Lieutenant Commander Reich and Cecilia. Therefore, after learning that Robin was going to use a barely repaired 'Whale Shark' frigate to go to the dangerous Northern Star Domain, Lieutenant Commander Lei Zhe immediately promoted Major Boris to be the captain of the new ship, so that the hastily repaired frigate could maximize its xìng ability and combat effectiveness.
And Major Boris really lived up to expectations, in such a hasty situation, he did not go through any adaptation and sea trials to perfectly control this 'Whale Shark' frigate, and his skillful cào work even made people feel that he was the captain of this frigate in the first place, and it was impossible to imagine that he had not even seen this battleship that was marked as scrapped a few times ago.
"General, it is Major Afra's Rose Formation that has come to escort the mission, and it seems that Chief of Staff Yalsvi has already made the corresponding arrangements on the Trailblazer space station." After successfully arriving at the Northern Star Domain and contacting the Rose Formation that had come to escort the escort, Major Boris, who had been tense and nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to report the current navigation situation to Robin.
At this time, Robin was standing in front of an electronic star field map with his hands behind his back to study the terrain, and when he heard Major Boris's report, he asked without looking back: "Is there an enemy fleet in the nearby area?" ”
Although the Northern Star Field is not the most closely contested frontline, due to its proximity to E-18 White Dòng, it must always be on guard against the sudden arrival of enemy reinforcements from the Alpha system. In addition, its location is also very close to the Helmes spaceport and the space station industry in the defense triangle, and from the point of view, the possibility of an encounter is very high.
"Not yet, the Rose Formation has carried out a carpet patrol of the nearby one-light area, and has not found any trace of the enemy fleet." Major Boris answered truthfully based on the information provided by the escorting Rose formation.
"Hmm......" Robin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "If you look at it this way, the main direction of attack of Admiral Patlem's fleet should be Othello......
"General, the U-2 landing ship has also passed the E-18 white dòng."
Immediately after the 'Whale Shark' frigate, the 100,000-ton U-2 landing ship also arrived at the Northern Star Domain after a burst of space distortion.
"Then let's go, go to the Trailblazer space station and rendezvous with Chief of Staff Yalvis and the Rose Formation."
……
After three xiǎo hours, the cautious fleet finally made its way through the treacherous Jiāo battle area and arrived at the Pioneer space station, located north of E-18 Bai Dòng, on the edge of the Jiāo battle area.
The Trailblazer space station is an industrial space station that Robin received from Stanley Mining, so because it was once the production center of Stanley Mining Company, this space station can even occupy the size of some Xiǎo type space fortresses, and is equipped with a fairly complete space dock, which can accommodate large transport carriers of up to 80 million tons, and a space dock that provides temporary maintenance for 10 million ton ships.
For Robin, who currently owns the Ultra Nebula Autonomous Region and the Barnard System, the value of the Pioneer Space lies not in its size, but in its unique geographical location.
The Trailblazer space station is located in the northern part of the E-18 White Dòng area, from a straight line ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
