In fact, Halton can't be blamed for this, when communicating with the new Irish colonial satellite fleet, it is true that behind the Eighth Fleet, there are only three cruisers of the pursuer fleet. However, after the appearance of the Second Fleet, when Halton sent out the communication again, the First Independent Fleet, which had been silent in the communication, thought that Halton was just trying to urge them to advance, so the rear admiral directly ignored the call of the Eighth Fleet and continued to direct his troops to act according to the predetermined plan.

The mocking smile on Lieutenant General Geyete's face was even more victorious, "Major General, our side is on a mission, and it is inconvenient for third-party forces to enter. ”

The Vice Admiral's words left the Rear Admiral depressed, and the Eighth Fleet seemed to have something going on there, and there had been no response to their communications. The rear admiral had a lot of scars on the Federation fleet in front of him, and it could be judged that they should have experienced the battle. However, believing that the Eighth Fleet would not be easily destroyed, he ordered his communications personnel to continue to contact the Eighth Fleet while putting his warships into combat mode. "I'm sorry, Lieutenant General, but we have to defend the safety of our people, it's our duty."

"Well, Major General, our operation has also been completed." The vice admiral, who saw that the array of his fleet had been lined up neatly, said with a smile, "But please don't easily enter the alert range of the garrison fleet we left behind, as this may cause some unnecessary misunderstandings and affect the diplomatic ties between our two sides." ”

"What?" The Rear Admiral's words were foggy, and he did not believe that the Eighth Fleet had been destroyed, nor that the Federation would let the traitors go so easily and let the fleet of the Independent States enter so easily. However, the Rear Admiral's doubts disappeared as the Federation fleet set off. The airspace behind the neat Federation fleet was covered with a large number of battleships and mecha wreckage. From time to time, some of the wreckage erupted into a flash of fire. Break apart.

"This—" The rear admiral knew that the fleet of the Independent New Britain under his command was late. Vice Admiral Halton and the Eighth Fleet he was to receive had vanished into the sky of New London. The wreckage in front of him told the rear admiral that the Eighth Fleet had put up desperate resistance here and that it had been wiped out. The Federation Fleet did not leave any of the Eighth Fleet ships of the Independent Nation, only large pieces of wreckage, and those wrecks were still only for the Independent States to see, as a recyclable resource, they would be recovered by the Federation's logistics forces and sent to the fortress of Thor, which had the ability to manufacture warships, and the three cruisers left behind by Vice Admiral Gernight were to take care of these wreckage.

Confederation in order to reduce the burden on resources. He began to order his own front-line troops to do their best to recover all kinds of wreckage for resource reuse. At the same time, in order to reduce the burden of logistics and transportation, the fortress was expanded again, so that the fortress became a military fortress and also had a production line for Galileo-class cruisers, two production lines for herald-class destroyers, an assembly line for rangers, and three assembly lines for privates, as well as their supporting facilities, including resource recovery smelting devices.

Admiral Patton has ordered his recovery system to begin cleaning up the wreckage of Sector E of the fort. Therefore, when I was testing the dragoons, I still found a lot of empty space in Area E.

The Federation has not only equipped a production line on Thor Fortress, but also plans to set up a production line on the New London Star. However, due to transportation problems, the supporting resources have not yet been completed, and it is expected that the production line on the New London Star will start in a quarter. For cost saving reasons, the ground production facility will not be built fully modular, as is the case with Tor Fortress. Although fully modular construction has the advantage of fast speed compared with general construction, the cost of being too expensive makes this construction technology not popular, after all, it is to transport finished products to assemble and manufacture, and the cost is naturally much more expensive than transporting raw materials to build on site.

The turmoil caused by the establishment of the Independent State of New Britain finally came to an end after the destruction of the Eighth Fleet, but the establishment of this country had an unpredictable impact on the future situation.

Although the Federation successfully suppressed the rebellion of the New Calais Colonial Satellite Boot Camp and the Eighth Fleet, the price paid was also terrifying, with all but the new cruisers of the Eighth Fleet sunk, three destroyers of the Second Fleet support force sunk, and three cruisers and five destroyers damaged and required major repairs. Nearly half of the mecha units of the New Manchester Colonial Satellite Garrison were lost, the mecha units of the Eighth Fleet were all wiped out, and the mechs of the pursuit force were nearly 50 mechs. The Federation directly lost more than a quarter of its military power in the universe, while it originally maintained the power of the empire Baku. The suppression line of the Lutz Fortress was also forced to be abandoned, and the front-line troops of the Sixth and Second Fleets were forced to withdraw to the Tor Fortress, and the situation in the universe instantly turned into a tug-of-war between the Federation and the Empire. It is no longer possible for the Federation mainland to send fleets to the front line, and if the fleets are stationed again, the fleets of the Federation mainland will not be able to fully monitor and defend against the numerous hopping points in the Federation.

Compared to the heavy losses of the Federation, the Imperial side is much better, only two recruit training camps defected, they only lost some garrison troops, and the departure of those recruits who were not counted in the combat power did not really affect the strength of the Imperial Space Force. The Imperial Space Fleet, which had become similar to the Federation Cosmos due to damage to the Federation Fleet, was finally able to open the protection of its fortress and gallop in the vast starry sky again. However, the ground forces of the empire lost their own reserves in this rebellion, which made the ground forces in urgent need of infantry, tank drivers, and fighter pilots face the dilemma of being unable to succeed in combat, so that the ground forces of the empire took advantage of the suitable winter desert climate to defeat the Federation's defense in Tris in one fell swoop, so that the Federation's Major General Guderian got a little respite.

The Independent State of New Britain became the biggest beneficiary of the event. Although they did not receive the ships of the Eighth Fleet, they succeeded in disrupting the power of the Federation and the Empire in the universe, dragging both space fleets into the quagmire of a war of attrition. On the planet New London, the Independent State of New Britain also had a good relationship with the Federation and the Empire, and signed a large contract with both sides for the supply of supply resources, in this contract. Independent countries are handing out large quantities of food that they have in their own pockets. medicines and other supplies at the same time. I also got the building materials and some scientific and technological materials that I urgently needed. In particular, in the contract with the Empire, the Independent Nation used the latest data of the Federation of special aircraft and the new Angel-class cruiser data to exchange with the Empire for a colonial satellite, a military colonization satellite that the Empire intends to transform into a military fortress, New Wales, and moved this satellite to the vicinity of the new Irish colonial satellite and renamed it the Pillar of Heaven Fortress.

Didi, a crisp electronic sound reminds the night that the mecha has completed the airborne procedure and switched to manual operation. The dragoons removed their shields from front of them. Neither the Special Aircraft II nor the Holy War Angel were near the night, and the only thing that caught the eye of the night was the endless yellow desert. Even though the dragoons were still high in the air, they could still see the distorted hot air above the desert at night in the cockpit.

The luck of the night is really good, the Terrad Desert will be his destination after completing the counterinsurgency mission, but the night that was forced to descend because of the entanglement with the second machine came here crookedly, and it can only be explained by luck.

"Terrad Desert, haha, I finally see the desert." Night, who had never seen a desert before, shouted happily, and turned on the communication channel, ready to call friendly forces near the desert. Want to get from them the situation near the desert. Although the Dragoons have a map of the Terrad Desert, they will not get lost with the Federation's locators. However, the distribution of enemy forces near the desert is not shown on the map, and Ye does not want to rush headlong into the base of the Empire.

"This is Grim Reaper Squad One, Night. Captain Max Wilder, called the Union Army near coordinates 58,77 in the Terrad Desert. The night steered the dragoons down to an altitude of four thousand meters and began to call.

"This is the Federation Sand Scorpion Mech Patrol Team, Captain Keith, welcome to Tyrald, Death One." Night was lucky enough to contact the nearby federal forces at the first time. Talking to the night was a small platoon on patrol duty, and their team leader was excited to respond loudly to the call.

"Thanks, Sand Scorpion Squad, can you guide me to the nearest military base?" What Ye wants most now is to find a place to take a good bath, and the high-intensity battle makes Ye feel sticky and uncomfortable.

"Okay, Reaper One, the nearest outpost 127 is at coordinates 54, 76, it's easy to spot." The leader of the Sand Scorpion team pointed out the nearest Federation base for Night, this newly built base is not on the Dragoon map, and it seems that the Federation Army has begun to fight back and regain control of many areas.

"Thanks..."Before the night thanked him, a loud "beep" sound erupted from the communicator, which was the prompt tone of emergency communication from the base near the Federation.

"This is the third base of the Federal Tyrad Front Camouflage Force, requesting the assistance of the Federation Army near coordinates 59,79 to find the skeleton camouflage team, they lost contact while attacking the Imperial 168 front supply base at coordinates 59,79, repeat..."

The Camouflage Unit is a special unit formed by the Federation that uses captured or stolen Imperial mechs. Due to the use of Imperial mechs, it is easy to confuse Imperial troops in appearance, and with the Imperial Mech Identification Code obtained by federal spies, Imperial troops often mistake these units for friendly forces. While the mech's identification system can't always be synchronized with the Imperial forces, it's still possible to attack poorly equipped supply bases or small Imperial mech units.

The Skeleton Camouflage Squad is one of the Federation's most famous camouflage units in the Tyrald region, consisting of six Imperial Bear mechs that feature pilots' helmets with a large skull tattooed on the front. That's all the data that Night has about the skeleton team.

"It seems that the intelligence exchange in the military is still not enough." While thinking about it, Night connected to the communication of the third base of the camouflage force, "This is the Reaper One, Night. Captain Max Wilder, immediately headed for the location of the disappearance of friendly troops. I need a detailed copy of the skeleton camouflage team so I can identify their pilots. ”

"This is the third base of the Terrad Front Camouflage Force, and I'm honored for you to help us, and the information will arrive soon." The correspondent didn't expect his call to call the first ace of the Federation, and his excited voice trembled a little.

"This is the Sand Scorpion Mech Patrol Team, go to the missing place immediately." The Scorpion Squad also responded to the base's communications.

The information needed by Night was transmitted to Night's Dragoons in a short period of time, and Night opened the information and called up the resume of the pilot of the skeleton team. The first picture of the person on the screen made Night's mouth open wide.

"Captain Sherlock?" Night rubbed his eyes with his hand in disbelief, the person in the photo was the pilot of the former Junkers Flying Team of the Elite Thirteenth Fleet, Captain Sherlock, but the captain has now been promoted to major.

"Ha, just when you return to New London, you can meet the old people." The night is just thinking about the good side, completely immersed in the excitement of reuniting old friends.

The dragoons landed steadily in the sand, floating at high speed towards coordinates 59,79.

A faint black smoke appeared on the horizon, and that location should be the supply base of the Empire's 168 frontline, and Sherlock will soon be seen. Thinking of this, the dragoons controlled by the night were a little faster.

However, the scene of the 168 front-line supply base made the night who had come to the vicinity of the base a little uneasy, a bear with the cockpit beaten into a hornet's nest lying on its back on the ground, these wounds were caused by the 120mm machine gun close shooting, it can be judged that this mecha is the garrison of this small imperial supply depot, it seems that the early action of the skeleton team is still very smooth, the supplies in the supply station were also blown up by the powerful mecha grenade, the skeleton team has completed the task, so how could they lose contact? The night was full of confusion, and he could only maneuver the dragoons to move along the perimeter of the base.

The scene on the other side of the 168 supply base solved the night's doubts, and a bear mecha was broken in two and lay on the ground, the huge wound was shocking. The dragoon quickly moved to the vicinity of the wreckage, leaning down to observe the wound where the mech had broken.

480 mm armor-piercing projectiles? Night was taken aback by his conclusion. Judging from the wound on the upper part of the bear fuselage, the mecha was hit by a bullet from the side, and the powerful bullet split the mecha in two directly from the waist, this terrifying armor-piercing ability is not something that a 180mm sniper rifle or a 320mm rocket launcher can do. And judging by the armor rolled up at the waist of the mecha, the diameter of that bullet can be determined to be 480 mm, or even larger. (To be continued......)
