Three space-armored fighters painted with the wings of the Feiyang two-headed griffin logo ended their combat mission, and gradually moved away from the endless ground battlefield, filled with gunpowder smoke and the rumbling of artillery.

The ruined city, the mechs that fired at each other on the ground, the trenches that winded like earthworms, the energy cannon waterfalls that self-propelled artillery regiments fired, the exploding light clusters and mushroom clouds, all became smaller and smaller as the fighters climbed at high speed, and finally disappeared after the fighters pierced the clouds.

Soon, the X-wing fighter with a silver streamlined fuselage had climbed to the top of the troposphere of the atmosphere. After the mothership guidance signal was connected, and after vertical positioning, the three fighters turned off the ion turbine engines. As the proton ejector activated and the booster ignited, the fighter increased its speed to the second cosmic speed in an instant, and soon broke through the silky magnetosphere of the aurora and leaped into the vast starry sky.

In the space of the planet Mozici, two [Gods]-class space carriers of the Republic of Feiyang and an old [Imperial Force]-class aircraft carrier of the Sixth Space Fleet of the Reading Force are like three huge hives, constantly recovering the space fighters that are returning from the atmosphere one after another.

Dozens of return capsule passages of the aircraft carrier flashed navigation lights. The open passage is connected to the mechanical soft arm like an octopus tentacle. In the synthesis of electronic sound distribution of the automatic navigation system, each fighter plane leaned up according to the channel number, and was absorbed by the soft arm of the connected mechanical machine and pulled into the aircraft carrier parking room. When the fighters returned in a concentrated manner, the recovery work of the entire aircraft carrier appeared to be busy and orderly.

Looking over the space carrier surrounded by a chaotic array of warplanes, not far away, twenty huge [Unicorn]-class battleships were quietly parked in space, their heavy armored shells, hideous main guns, rotating turrets all over the body, and space torpedo tubes on both sides, making this kind of battleship inherently an incomparable deterrent.

Surrounding the battleship were more than sixty [Shark]-class heavy cruisers, which were almost equal in size to the battleships of some small countries. However, they are indeed cruisers, and they are the fastest high-speed cruisers in the combat sequences of various countries.

These cruisers, even more than the [Unicorn]-class battleships, show the scientific and technological level and military strength of the Republic of Fiyan. Whether it is an aircraft carrier or a battleship, no matter what kind of battleship, once surrounded by three [Shark] cruisers, there is no chance of survival. In space, this is a group of wild sharks in the truest sense of the word.

If the cruisers are ferocious sharks, then the hundreds of high-speed destroyers swimming around the periphery of the fleet formation are a group of tiny, but equally ferocious, if not more terrifying, piranhas. Although they did not have the powerful main guns of battleships and cruisers, they were more agile and faster. Once they break into the fleet formation, it is also the consequence of the disaster surname.

Needless to say, this is the most powerful 1st and 2nd mixed fleet of the Philae-Lai and the Southeastern Expeditionary Force.

Both of these fleets were the Fiyan Fleet, which was numbered the Eleventh Mixed Fleet and the Seventeenth Mixed Fleet in Fiyan. They and the Fifth Mixed Fleet of the Expeditionary Force, consisting of the former Gacharin Sixth Mixed Fleet and the Petit Pyrenees Local Fleet, have been in this airspace for almost a week.

The fleet's two [Ragnar]-class aircraft carriers and one [Imperial Force]-class aircraft carrier have been supporting ground operations outside the atmosphere of Molzych.

Since there was no threat, such support operations had always seemed easy for the Space Fleet, but now, the situation seems to have changed.

From the battleship Europa, the flagship of the newly formed Fifth Fleet, which consisted of the former Gacharin fleet, it can be seen that the atmosphere is already significantly more tense than in the previous days. The crew members were all rushing around, and from time to time various instructions issued by the captain's office came from the ship's radio.

The power cabin, electronic control room, weapons compartment, damage management, battleship garrison, turret, main gun compartment and other posts have been put in place. Everyone was nervously checking the equipment and carrying out the instructions.

The commander-in-chief of the Fifth Fleet, Vice Admiral Kafka, stood on the command podium in the central control room with a melancholy expression. Just five hours ago, the probes scattered around the tens of thousands of kilometers of the fleet discovered that two Desik fleets were approaching the expeditionary fleet from two different directions at the same time.

The fleet, which was forced to end its ground support mission, did not seem to have any intention of fighting. The order sent from the aircraft carrier "Poseidon" indicated that the fleet would take the initiative to retreat before the Desik fleet reached Mozci. The coordinates of the jump issued to the Fifth Fleet are more than six million kilometers from this airspace, between Mozic and Minsk.

Kafka was a little puzzled as to why the General Command of the Expeditionary Force had given up on Mozych so easily, knowing that on the ground battlefield, there were only 13 flying groups and more than 1,000 land-based fighters to support the battle across the east and west of Tanville, which was nearly 2,000 kilometers away.

If Stephen and Reinhardt's air power recovers, coupled with the support of Desik Fleet's space fighters, the entire ground battle situation will immediately change.

Doesn't Lieutenant General Fisichella know about this?

"Connect the headquarters communication to the captain's office, and I'm going to talk to Admiral Fisichella." Kafka clenched his fists, he wanted to understand, reading the army, must not be sacrificed under his nose.

"Yes, General." The officer in charge of communications in the central control room was working quickly to send a communication request to the "Poseidon" aircraft carrier.

Kafka turned around and walked into the right passage of the central control room, and when he walked to the end of the circular passage, the automatic identification door of the captain's room opened, and the virtual screen on the front wall of the room had already appeared on the virtual screen.

As the blue light changes into a brilliant color, the light cluster at the top of the light converges into the image of Fisichella.

"Hello, General Kafka." Fisichella didn't have the slightest hint of commander-in-chief, smiling and saying hello.

Looking back at the automatic door closing, Kafka was silent for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I'm sorry to ask you to call you at this moment, but I hope you can answer some of my questions, which are related... The future of Gachalin. ”

"You're welcome..."Fisichella's smile was infectious: "Actually, I know what you want to ask, let's save each other a little time." His image suddenly zoomed closer, as if reaching out and touching something in front of him. Immediately, on Kafka's information terminal, a document marked top secret appeared.

Clicking on the document on the information desk, Kafka saw that it was a long and detailed report on the movements of the Desik fleet in the Petit Pyrenees, in which the two fleets that were now approaching Mozic appeared.

"Reading this report, I'm sure you'll understand a little bit why I chose to retreat." Fisichella smiled: "Mozich has become a big vortex, and if we don't leave, we will face an enemy in this vortex who has an advantage over us. However, retreating does not mean that we have given up on the fighters who fought in Mozic, and of course, I admit, they will be under a lot of pressure, even on the verge of despair. However, it was definitely not caused by our departure. ”

Kafka looked up from the document and listened to Fisichella continue: "On the contrary, retreat, both for us and for our ground forces, is the best option. Imagine if we were to fight a mixed fleet of four Desik here, the victory would be certain, but how much would we lose? The enemy came prepared, and Akari saw that there were only four fleets, and in fact, a mixed fleet of them stationed in the Buick Blue had also left the base and was missing. ”

Kafka was silent, he understood that the situation was indeed as Fisichella had said, and that a decisive battle with the enemy fleet at Mozic was not a good idea. Once the defeat or the loss of more than half of the loss, it is an even greater disaster for the ground forces.

"However, the wrong battle is a critical moment, at this time we leave, once the enemy's space fighters participate in the battle, the situation on the ground will be reversed, especially the long-term post, I am afraid it will not last for three days." Kafka asked.

"Our two Ryan fleets stationed in Minsk have set sail, and the twelve armored divisions on the ground are also ready." Fisichella's words seemed to be a bit incorrect, but his last sentence was the finishing touch: "They will be with us in the coordinate round of our jump, and our goal is ......"

"Buick Blue!" Kafka looked at the extension at the end of the coordinates and blurted out in horror.

"Worthy of General Kafka, I am amazed by your acumen." Fisichella nodded approvingly and said calmly: "So, you should believe that whether it is the Desik fleet that has lost its trace, or these two fleets, their final course will be Buick Blue!" They could not stay in Mozic to engage in ground combat. ”
