In the synchronous orbit of Yanhuang Star, the most striking thing is the space fortress the size of a planet.

Actually, this is the "Feitian" spaceport.

This huge spaceport is not only one of the largest spaceports in the Human Federation, but also one of the busiest if you look at the entire Galactic Alliance. In peacetime, tens of millions of people enter and leave here every day, and the goods that enter and exit every year are even more innumerable.

Of course, in times of war, the "flying sky" is the Federation of Mankind, to be precise, the Battlestar of the Third War Zone.

In fact, this huge space base was planned by the Third Theater during the Fifth Greenwich War and started construction after the war, and for the first two hundred years, it has been managed by the Third Theater, and it is the only space fortress in the Third Theater near Yanhuangxing, and for a period of time it was even the location of the Third Theater Command. It wasn't until Zhan retired and the threat from the North Alpha system receded that the Third Theater was asked by federal authorities to transform the "Flying Sky" into a spaceport, and the theater chief of staff in charge of the matter was removed shortly after. Even if Zhan Ruilin was reluctant, he could not take back the right to use the "Feitian" through legitimate means, but only asked the federal authorities to sign an agreement to characterize the "Feitian" as a quasi-military facility, so that the Third War Zone could requisition the "Feitian" spaceport in accordance with relevant laws in wartime and transform it into a space fortress.

In the eyes of the officers and men of the Third War Zone, the "Flying Sky" has always been a space fortress in the Third War Zone, and it was only loaned to the federal authorities in peacetime.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, it was not the federal authorities who took advantage, but the third theater of operations.

The point is, over the past few hundred years. It is the federal authorities responsible for maintaining the "flying sky", and the cost of normal maintenance alone is extremely staggering. It has been calculated that the cost of handing over the "Flying Sky" to the federal authorities would be enough for the Third Theater of Operations to support an additional hundred legions, or a fleet of a thousand warships. If this cost is borne by the Third Theater of Operations, then the Third Theater of Operations will have to reduce its standing forces.

On the contrary. The military value of the "Flying Sky" has not been reduced by civilian use.

That is, when the "Feitian" was transformed into a spaceport, its main structure was not affected, and all vital military facilities were retained. As long as the war breaks out and is taken over by the Third War Zone, the "Flying Sky" will be able to accept all the warships and military ships of the Third War Zone without any changes. In just one month at most, the "Flying Sky" will be able to accommodate the standing regiment of the Third Theater after completing the initial transformation. Even if it were to be transformed into a real Battlestar, it would never take more than five years. That is, as long as there is a need. The Third Theater is able to turn this spaceport into the strongest space fortress in the home galaxy as quickly as possible.

It is precisely because of this that many people believe that it was Zhan Ruilin's arrangement to hand over the "Feitian" to the federal authorities in the first place, and the subsequently removed chief of staff was just a substitute for the dead.

In fact, this is also the first time that "Feitian" has regained its original identity after hundreds of years of civilian use.

At this time, there were a large number of warships near the "Flying Sky" fortress, but they were not many compared to the ships that had docked and were docking one after another.

Just a few hours ago. It's as calm as usual.

All the transport ships, large and small, arrived in these few hours, and the destination was "Flying Sky". The warships responsible for protecting Yan Huangxing and "Feitian" not only did not stop it. He also took turns to greet them, leading those transport ships to enter the port and dock.

In the "Flying Sky", the regiments of the Third War Zone were already ready to set off.

Because there were too many officers and soldiers gathered here, and most of them were transported by small flying boats, it was impossible for the officers and soldiers of a regiment to board the same flying boat, so they could only be temporarily dispersed. The scene became extremely chaotic, so I am afraid that the people present did not know how many legions there were.

Anyway, there must be quite a few, at least a hundred legions.

OK. The order had already been given to the grassroots level, and each unit had been given boarding instructions and knew where the ship it was on was docking. In addition, there were many officers and soldiers in the fort who were maintaining order and were responsible for guiding the officers and soldiers of the regiment to board the ship, so the scene did not get out of control.

According to the plan, all the legions in the "flying sky" will leave on the ship within twelve hours.

In order to ensure that the action was foolproof, Lin Xiaoting came here early. He was the chief of staff of the theater of operations, and it was his job to arrange the movement of the troops.

Because the destinations of these legions were some colonial galaxies that were critical to the Third War Zone and even the entire Human Federation and had great strategic value, Zhan Ruilin was also very concerned and asked Lin Xiaoting to report the specific situation to him every two hours.

In fact, only Zhan Ruilin and Lin Xiaoting knew that there were not just a hundred legions boarding and setting off here, but two hundred.

Before Yu Linglong came to find Zhan Ruilin and promised to lend the transport fleet, Lin Xiaoting followed Zhan Ruilin's instructions to send the one hundred legions that had completed the preparation to the "Feitian" fortress, so that after finding the transport spaceship, these legions could set off immediately, and there was no need to spend time on preparation. The Yu family can lend a fleet of transport ships, which is naturally very good. It's just that what Lin Xiaoting didn't expect was that after Yu Linglong left, Zhan Ruilin asked him to organize another hundred legions, and then when the people of the Yu family arrived, he sent these legions to the "Feitian" fortress in person. At the same time, disguise the hundred legions that were sent over as the guards of the fortress, and then prepare to board the ship.

Lin Xiaoting immediately understood, Zhan Ruilin wanted to take this opportunity to send an extra hundred legions out.

Although he was surprised, Lin Xiaoting understood Zhan Ruilin's hard work.

Don't forget, Zhan Ruilin has already sent a hundred legions, and they have been sent to ten of the most important colonial systems. Before Yu Linglong returned, these 100 legions had successfully completed their mission, not only recapturing ten colonial systems, but also eliminating all the enemies in these colonial systems. According to the battle reports received, the Silicon Charm army has begun to retreat, although some legions are left behind, but there are not many troops, and the combat power is not very good. In the ten colonial systems, the legions of the Third Theater did not encounter stubborn resistance, and basically wiped out the enemy after a short battle, not only did they not suffer too many losses in the battle, but they did not even use many of the heavy weapons they brought.

According to the reports of these legions, as long as they can send troops in time to arrive before the enemy wreaks havoc, they can ensure the safety of these colonial systems.

That is, the key is not the number of troops sent, nor the combat effectiveness of the corps, but the speed of dispatch.

In fact, even if it is a lightly armed unit sent to these ten colonial systems, it can successfully complete the mission, and there is no need to bring so much heavy equipment at all.

You know, these are ten crucial colonization galaxies.

So, what about the other colonial galaxies?

What's more, heavy equipment takes up a lot of capacity, and if you use a ship that transports equipment to transport troops, you can send out more legions.

When formulating the backup plan, Lin Xiaoting raised this issue with Zhan Ruilin.

Because he had not received a reply from Yu Linglong at that time, Lin Xiaoting boldly proposed to use all the small spaceships he could find to transform these spaceships as quickly as possible to make them have the ability to sail across star systems, and then use these spaceships to send the elite troops of the Third War Zone to various colonial systems. Although there are not many troops that can be transported, as long as they arrive in time, these elite troops will definitely be able to complete the mission.

Of course, after Yu Linglong returned, this problem did not exist.

That's right, Lin Xiaoting forgot about it.

Even if there is no shortage of elite troops in the Third Theater, in addition to the special reconnaissance brigade, the garrison units, the fleet, the theater headquarters, and even each military subdivision have their own elite troops, many of which are genuine soldiers. At least as far as Lin Xiaoting knows, many military subdivisions have obtained some small original energy converters through various unofficial channels in peacetime, which are used to arm elite officers and soldiers and form their own elite troops. In the past, Lin Xiaoting didn't see these things in the military division. It's just that now, let Zhan Ruilin come forward, and the commanders of those military divisions will definitely not dare to disobey. Taken together, these elite troops are definitely a powerful and important force that no one dares to underestimate.

The problem is that these elite units can be said to be the last capital of the Third Theater of Operations. What if you need it now? What's more, the existence of these elite troops was originally a secret, and now sending them out is tantamount to letting everyone know that there is such a force in the third theater of operations.

It is naturally better to have an alternative.

In any case, a hundred legions are clearly better suited to the task of recovering the colonized galaxy than a group of elite troops.

To put it bluntly, no matter how heavy the losses of the ordinary legion are, Lin Xiaoting will not be heartbroken, because the Human Federation has never lacked soldiers suitable for service. The elite troops are different, because only one in a million people in the Human Federation are primordial and have the basic conditions to be soldiers.

It's just that what Lin Xiaoting didn't expect was that Zhan Ruilin was going to send two hundred legions out.

Of course, all lightly armed troops.

After understanding what Zhan Ruilin meant, Lin Xiaoting came here and personally took charge of the legion's boarding and departure, ensuring that all the legions could smoothly board the spaceship sent by the Yu family. More importantly, you have to make sure that you don't get discovered by the people of the Jade family, because the crew members of those spaceships are all members of the Jade family.

The solution is not difficult, which is to mess up the order and modify the boarding plan at the appropriate time.

Although the Jade family has sent thousands of spaceships, these ships will not go to one colonial system, but will form ten fleets of large and small ships to ten colonial systems each. After splitting up, the ships will be cut off from each other, and the fate of the other fleets will not be known. Just by making it impossible for some ships to depart in time, you can turn ten fleets into twenty. In addition, after the fleet departs, just adjust the action order, such as re-ordering it, and let the extra ten fleets go to the other ten colonial systems. Because these fleets would not be connected with each other, the Yu family could not grasp the accurate situation, and it was impossible for them to intervene in the operations of the third theater of operations.

Obviously, these are exactly what Lin Xiaoting is best at. (To be continued.) )
