Chapter 155: Striking the West
The information provided by the theater command is extremely limited, and it can be said clearly in one sentence, and it is too much to say more.
It's just that this is by no means a good thing, and it is not worth rejoicing at all.
"There's so little information, we have to prepare for the worst."
Breaking the silence was Shen Chengwen, the squadron leader of the strategic squadron, a genuine veteran and the oldest in the current special investigation team.
Of course, people live up to their name.
After he spoke, everyone's eyes fell on him, and Yang Yi deliberately looked at him carefully.
Although in his personal profile, he is only a tenth-level soldier, but that resume is more than a hundred years ago, Yang Yi can see at a glance that he is a real human warrior, and his combat power is far above Jackson. What surprised Yang Yi even more was that he had two completely different original energies. Apparently, he has two Origin Converters, one of which is AAA class and the other is S-class.
There is no doubt that in this room, Shen Chengwen's combat power is the strongest.
Not to mention Jackson, even Yang Yi is not sure to defeat him. The point is that he has two Origin Converters, and Yang Yi has never encountered such an opponent.
Fortunately, Shen Chengwen is not an enemy, but a comrade-in-arms, and a comrade-in-arms who can be trusted and relied on.
As early as more than 100 years ago, Shen Chengwen joined the special investigation team, and it took less than ten years to be promoted to colonel. Because there is only one squadron leader in the strategic squadron, Shen Chengwen has been a cadre of the strategic squadron for more than 100 years before becoming the squadron leader. Although with his strong combat power, Shen Chengwen has a very high reputation in the strategic squadron. But there is no privilege to carry out tasks with other officers and soldiers.
After hundreds of years of fighting, Shen Chengwen has gained enough experience in actual combat.
In fact. This is also the reason why Lin Feng took him to the Prometheus Star.
Don't forget, the strategic squadron's number one mission in peacetime is to carry out secret missions against the Silicon Alliance, and the officers and men of the strategic squadron have been active in the northern part of the Greenwich meteorite belt for a long time, dealing with silicon beasts for many years. A top master like Shen Chengwen often goes to the North Alpha Galaxy to carry out some secret missions that are not visible. Although he had never made it public, he had certainly dealt with the enemies of the Silicon Alliance.
Apparently. The experience that Shen Chengwen has is exactly what Lin Feng, Yang Yi and others lack.
"Why, is it all weird?" Shen Chengwen glanced at the others. said, "Actually, there's no need to make a fuss. For hundreds of years, the military department has conducted an annual mock military exercise. I don't know much though. But in the mock exercises that I know. Prometheus Star is a battleground for soldiers, and it can even be said to be the death hole of the first war zone. Now it is completely reasonable to be attacked. ”
"Dead Hole?" Yang Yi's brows jumped a few times.
Shen Chengwen nodded slightly, stared at Yang Yi for a few seconds, and then said: "According to the armistice agreement, based on the middle line of the Greenwich meteorite belt, a demilitarized zone has been set aside in the north and south, and the two sides are not allowed to send regular military forces to the demilitarized zone for any reason. Prometheus is in the DMZ. And it's the closest planetary-class object to the midline on our side. If war breaks out again, we will be able to use Prometheus as a springboard into the Northern Alpha system. A lethal threat to the right flank of the Silicon Alliance's defensive line. To put it mildly, unless the Silicon Alliance can build a planet-level space fortress to the north, it will have to pull out the nail. By the same token, if the Silicon Charm Alliance had preemptively captured Prometheus with heavy forces at breakneck speed, it would have been able to sweep through our left flank. When the time comes, not only will the first theater of war be defeated, but the fourth, fifth, and sixth theaters will be implicated, and even we will not be able to stand alone. In the case of unstable left flank, it is necessary to at least extend the defensive line of the Eighth Theater outward, which is tantamount to lengthening our defensive line and dispersing our forces. When the time comes, we will only be beaten passively. ”
Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything more.
"Prometheus Star is so important, the first war zone won't be unprepared, right?" Jackson asked.
Glancing at Jackson, Shen Cheng heard that he said, "What can the first war zone prepare?" You must know that according to the armistice agreement signed that year, the military base built by the First War Zone on Prometheus and the troops stationed on the planet are enough to be a reason for the Silicon Alliance to start a war. Even if the enemy did not take advantage of this, it would be impossible for the First War Zone to act recklessly. In fact, the Silicon Alliance has never let its guard down. Two years ago, the wave of beasts that attacked Prometheus was the work of the Silicon Alliance, and every previous wave of beast tides was the masterpiece of the Silicon Alliance. To put it bluntly, the Silicon Charm Alliance has a bottom line, and as long as what the First War Zone does not cross this bottom line, the Silicon Charm Alliance will treat it as if it has not seen it. ”
"If the fall of Prometheus into the hands of the enemy will cause the defense of the first war zone to completely collapse, and even pose a threat to other war zones, then wouldn't it be the best option to blow up the Prometheus star if necessary? Anyway, it's much better than falling into the hands of the enemy. ”
"Blow up the Prometheus Star?"
Shen Chengwen showed a look of surprise, and Yang Yi, who said this, fell silent.
"Dude, it's a planetary object, do you know how many of these objects are in the Greenwich meteorite belt, and how many of them are right next to the midline?"
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, he really didn't know.
"That's right, blowing up Prometheus will indeed prevent the enemy from using it as a springboard to sweep across the Greenwich meteorite belt, at least stabilize the left flank defense. The question is, then what? Shen Cheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "In the past five thousand years, the Greenwich War has been fought five times, but it has never ended, do you know why?" In fact, as early as after the end of the First Greenwich War, it was proposed to create a black hole in the center of the Greenwich meteorite belt to completely separate the northern and southern alpha galaxies. As long as this black hole is big enough, even with the current level of technology, it will not be surmountable, and there will be no need to worry about being invaded by the Silicon Charm Alliance. ”
"It's a really good idea."
"What do you think?" Shen Chengwen glanced at Yang Yi and said, "Without a common enemy, is there still any value in the Galactic Alliance?" Besides, the Southern Alpha galaxy is already overcrowded, and any intelligent civilization has the ability to expand its living space, and it also needs to obtain resources in order to survive. Obviously, the closest to us is the North Alpha System. Even if there is no threat from the Silicon Alliance, what we get is not a permanent peace, but a war with other civilizations for the sake of living space and resources. In fact, even human civilization will break out into civil war due to limited living space and resources, and there will be no permanent peace at all. ”
Yang Yi sighed secretly, he couldn't find a reason to refute.
"Our war with the Silicon Alliance will definitely end, and how it ends depends on whether we sweep the North Alpha System or the Silicon Alliance sweep the South Alpha System. If we can't make it into the North Alpha system, even if we build a steely defense, we will lose this war for the right to live. To make it into the Northern Alpha system, we need Prometheus. Shen Chengwen paused slightly, and then said, "At least with the current technology, it is almost impossible to build a planetary-class space fortress in the Greenwich meteorite belt. Even if it's technically fine, it takes enough time and resources. ”
"It's not something we need to care about." After Shen Cheng finished speaking, Lin Feng pulled the topic back. "Squadron Shen is right, we must be prepared for the worst. It's just that the battle situation is probably not as simple as we guess now. The Silicon Charm Alliance dispatched heavy troops, in addition to capturing Prometheus Star, I am afraid there is another purpose. The mission is clear, we have to get to Prometheus in time to assist the garrison to hold out until reinforcements arrive in the First War Zone. As for how to complete the task, you will not be able to figure it out until you get to Prometheus. Now, what we need to figure out is how to get to Prometheus in time instead of going into the net. ”
At this time, everyone was silent, and even Shen Chengwen closed his mouth.
Although no relevant information has been obtained, it is conceivable that the enemy must have blocked Prometheus, and the "Shadow" is just a reconnaissance ship, with no heavy firepower and no heavy armor, so it will not be able to break through the enemy's blockade at all, and it will be shot down before it sees Prometheus.
"Sound to the west." Yang Yi broke the silence.
Everyone else looked at him and waited for him to continue.
"After arriving near Prometheus Star, Captain Lin Feng and I will lead the enemy away, and you will take the 'Shadow' to the garrison base."
"Flying a warplane?" Shen Cheng asked.
Yang Yi nodded and said, "Although the 'Fire Phoenix' and the 'Cold Ice and Snow Tiger' are damaged, they can still be used. Although it can't be used against the silicon beasts that the generals control, it has no problem against ordinary fighters. As long as you can get to the garrison base in time, we will be able to get rid of the enemy. ”
"And then?"
Yang Yi didn't say anything, because there was no more.
"It's a solution, but you two can't do it." Shen Cheng let out a long breath when he heard this, and said, "The Silicon Charm Alliance must be determined to win, and the one who commands the battle will not be a war general, it should be a war king, at least a war general close to the war king level." With the current state of the two fighters, you can't escape at all. In addition, to lure out the enemy commander, you are not weighty enough and need a bigger decoy. ”
"You mean ......"
"For us, it is the highest honor to kill a war king. For the Warlords of the Silicon Alliance, the same is true for taking out a Warrior. ”
Yang Yi's brow jumped a few times and glanced at Jackson.
"Of course, if it's two warriors, it's even more attractive." Shen Chengwen smiled and looked at Jackson as well. (To be continued......)
