198. On standby
PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
"Our priority now is to complete the repair and replenishment of the ship, and then stand by." Rear Admiral Menttelaire said this during a video conference at the decision-making level of the video task force.
"Although the above has not specifically said anything to us, but in view of the galactic battle situation that is constantly being sent back, our fleet will definitely be used as a rare mobile force in the galaxy now, even if our fleet basically has certain internal structural hidden dangers except for two cruisers."
"But, at least statistically, our combat effectiveness remains at a high level, isn't it?"
Major General Mentelle returned to his seat, and his speech essentially set the tone for the next few dozen hours.
In fact, every officer here is very clear about this kind of thing, and even the soldiers below know very well what this fleet should do now and what it will face in the future. However, the successive events in the galaxy still made this group of human officers feel uneasy, so they almost invariably relieved a certain amount of psychological pressure through frequent meetings and meetings, and could be regarded as exchanging ideas.
After the basic work had basically been arranged, and the rest was purely a matter of waiting, the officers present also relaxed a little and began to discuss the news that was now coming from the galaxy.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that now the UN has been reduced to the point that there are not enough aircraft carriers, and we also need aircraft carriers like ours that are hundreds of years old to act as firefighters."
"I personally don't think there should be any problems with most of the galaxies of the Orion Cantilever and the Perseus Cantilever, especially where there are carrier anchors, and those supercarriers that are being maintained cannot sail. But the carrier-based aircraft formations on the original supercarriers stationed around the berths were sufficient to deal with most of the threats. Personally, I think the Southern Cross and the Centaur Arm may be a bit dangerous, but there are relatively few colonies and industrial facilities over there, plus the Planet Defense Force and the Cruiser Fleet, so there probably won't be any problems. ”
"In fact, the main problem this time is that the Confederacy doesn't know what means to disperse a large number of armed forces to all corners of the galaxy, and even continue to increase. All of the rebound structures we've laid out at the edge of the galaxy are now not much different from scrap metal. In fact, it is easier to deal with simply projecting an incomparably large military force. Honestly, I can't imagine how the Confederacy could have organized such a large force and concealed our intelligence services. ”
"I'm afraid it's not organized at all." A technical officer next to the officer who had spoken earlier snorted: "It can be seen from the battle reports that can be obtained so far. For example, the so-called tri-clan alliance in the Guantanamo system is infighting with each other, and the small starships of the Amber clan in the Albert system that have been destroyed by the gravitational pull of the Confederate dreadnoughts, etc., and so on. I'm afraid the biggest possibility is that the Confederacy dug up some black technology of the previous overlord civilization and sent all the armed forces over in one go. ”
While the officer corps was chatting in a grand manner, the entire task force was still carrying out all kinds of work in an orderly manner. One of them is naturally because there is no combat mission now, and it is simply repair and repair. The second is that many of the officers who still have things to do while they are chatting are actually still taking care of their affairs - and it is still very easy for modern humans to do two things, with the help of implants.
The task force is flying slowly in one direction at an economic speed in this empty space, and the distance between the ships is so far apart that if you don't look at the ship's portholes and observation platforms through special optical equipment, then it is basically impossible to detect other ships around you through the naked eye in the context of the universe.
In fact, in the Starfleet combat regulations, the aircraft carrier formation can be properly gathered together when it is sailing or maneuvering to carry out supply activities, except for the peripheral alert ships. Even if the distance is not too short, it is enough to allow people to see from one ship to the other with the naked eye. Because this will be more friendly to the supply ship, and at the same time, even if the human technology at that time could not achieve a chrono strike, it could also prevent the enemy from strafing in the face. And in the 160 years since the Cyborg War, human beings have completely intercepted the enemy tens or even hundreds of light-years away, and naturally there is no need to worry about the distance between ships.
However, stimulated by the endless black technology that has emerged in the Confederacy for more than a month, the officers of the task force basically agree that it is better to be safe in the current situation, so the positions between ships in the fleet are scattered as if they were in a combat state.
In fact, there are patrolling carrier-based aircraft further away, and early warning aircraft are also evenly distributed in a spherical range of ten light years.
Even when not in combat mode, this part of the fleet is still on high alert.
Although it is not clear whether the Confederacy has any other hack technology capable of carrying out surprise attacks. But with the computing power and information support of the galaxy itself, this level of readiness of the task force would not be able to stop a possible enemy attack. But you should also be able to give yourself some time to react.
"The supply number calls the Paris number."
This information appeared silently in the fleet channel through quantum communication, and was then received by all ships in the task force.
At the same time, Rear Admiral Mentelaire, the captain of the USS Paris, after reading the latest defense information for the last time, turned on a small light screen on the left side and entered a series of numbers into it.
This was a confirmation message from Starfleet Command before the Supply Fleet arrived, and the Supply Fleet would only appear if he entered a unique one-time password that he had memorized in his head.
The Fleet AWACS and the Fleet at a distance of five light-years simultaneously detected the jump signal, which was automatically identified by the IFF and identified as a friendly force.
Then, after reporting the situation, everyone realized that the supply fleet had already sailed towards the task force and was almost close at hand.
"Supply, Rainier, Arctic, and Bridge, the entire second supply fleet has been pulled over."
[It's about to be 515, and I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list.] By May 15th, the red envelope rain can give back to readers and promote works. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
