Of course, regardless of the intentions of all those involved in the brawl, this sudden incident has brought the relationship between the two ships that have just reunited to a freezing point. Although the two captains who were very protective of the ship were very reluctant to engage in internal confrontation during this period, after a series of erroneous deaths by the crews of both sides, they could only shoulder the black pot and fight for the right to judge the brawl.

Especially Brigadier Adama, he was not very angry when he was used to being pitted by his subordinates, but he said that he would not allow Admiral Kane on the other side to take his crew away and deal with it, and Admiral Kane, who was thinned as a superior, was also really angry.

She couldn't accept Adama's blatant act of protecting her shortcomings, even though what she was doing was also protecting the shortcomings of her own men. As a superior, she demanded that Commodore Adama send the two crew members of the Galactica who had beaten her to "correct the law".

The two sides did not make concessions to each other on this issue, and the civilian representatives of the civilian fleet, as always, played soy sauce. Only President Rothling and a few Theron agents lurking in the civilian fleet were genuinely happy in the fierce confrontation between the two sides.

As the fire between the two warships grew, both sides lifted their own bomb-mounted space fighters and threatened each other with force. In the end, with timely mediation, both sides exercised restraint and did not really fight. But the seeds of distrust have been planted between them. The crews of both sides could no longer see each other the way they had when they had just reunited.

Returning to the expedition, the Budapest also embarked on a journey to continue its search for nearby starfields after sending out other warships. With the support of quantum communication links. Shen Chao was able to keep abreast of the search progress of the other scattered ships.

Within two days of dispersing, the fleet had split up to search nearly 200 neighboring systems, but found no trace of any other man-made ships. During this period, there was also a frigate that had a power system failure and was sent back to the main plane for repair by Shen Chao in advance.

Of the 18 remaining ships to search, the Budapest was the furthest from the point of departure, even though it was the last ship to embark on the search journey. The reason for the success was mainly due to the inclined investment of the expedition headquarters in the Budapest.

All of the latest and greatest technological achievements that the expedition has gathered from all planes have always been the first to be applied to the flagship of this fleet. This makes the Budapest significantly more efficient at searching and jumping galaxies than any other ship in the fleet.

But even so, in these two days, the Budapest was only 120 light-years away in a straight line. After all, you have to search for galaxies on the road all the way. It took a lot of time. However, Shen Chao didn't know that the Budapest and several other warships searching in the same direction had gone in the right direction.

In a binary star system 260 light-years away from Budapest, humanity's fugitive fleet is taking a pre-war recuperation after resolving the brawl that nearly caused the Galactica and Pegasos to misfire two days ago. The command of both warships was looking for a way to reconcile or eliminate dissidents in the fleet. And it has to be fast. The pursuit of the Theron kept them from wasting too much energy on infighting.

Fortunately. The Scout Fighters they sent out to scout nearby systems had good news, as the main forces of the Theron fleet, which had been chasing both sides for a year, had suddenly dispersed two days earlier to search for nearby systems. Only two Theron Battle Fortresses were left to defend a strangely shaped ship.

Through the torture of Theron prisoners of war aboard the Guò Pegasos, they learn that this is the only Theron "resurrection ship" in the nearby sector, as long as it is present. It doesn't matter how many Theron combat units they destroy in a nearby sector. These Therons will be resurrected in the resurrection ship after death. That's why their enemies seem to be getting stronger and stronger.

And the other way around. If they can take advantage of this great opportunity to defeat the lone resurrection ship in one fell swoop, it is very likely that they will be able to restrain the enemy's continuous pursuit, and may even use this as an opportunity to completely get rid of the enemy's pursuit. Escape from the encirclement of superior enemy men.

Of course, for this to happen, the battle carriers Galactica and Pegasus had to work together, and neither of the two carriers would have the ability to defeat the two Theron battle forts, let alone break through the close lines of the massive number of Theron fighters.

They must be fully prepared and successful in one blow, or they will be besieged by the other Theron battle forts that have been driven back. To this end, the captains of both sides held a tactical seminar aboard the Pegasos, and both took the opportunity to station an officer of their own on each other's ships in order to coordinate training and wartime communications.

Of course, this is only a superficial arrangement. The two captains were like they had a heart, and they both gave a secret order to their officers before they set off. The general content of the secret order is that when this important joint operation is over, with a specific call sign as an order, the stationed officer will draw his gun and kill the captain of the opposing ship, so that the entire upper echelons of the fleet will only have one commander and one voice.

It was a bold move for both parties. For this, all participants are under a lot of psychological pressure. In order to survive this mission, ordinary soldiers who don't know the inside story worked hard to carry out integrated training, and cooperated with the opponent who almost fought two days ago.

And several people with special missions are under heavy psychological pressure, entangled in whether they are forced to commit irreparable crimes. And the civilian fleet, as usual, did not care about the fate of the people who died for their lives, and did not know that the struggle between the commanders of the two warships had reached its final stage. Only President Madam Rothlin seized the time to prepare for the public opinion offensive and vigorously persuaded Admiral Adama to hurry up.

And as the protagonists of this power struggle, the captains of both sides did not waste time thinking about these useless things in the moment before the storm. The attention of both professional soldiers was now focused on the coming battle.

As a mechanical race that is hostile to them, the Theron have excellent learning abilities, and the battle fortresses they have built are stronger than the two remaining battle carriers on the human side in terms of size, carrier space, firepower, and jumping ability. Dealing with them will never be easy.

However, the numerical superiority of these Theron ships will only be reflected in large-scale interstellar battles, in contrast, human combat aircraft carriers with armor as thick as turtle shells and stronger deep space detection capabilities are more suitable for such small-scale space raids.

Both the Galactica and the Pegasus have been under siege by the Theron Battle Fortress in the past year, so neither of them is worried about the safety of their ships in this battle, and the only difficulty is to guide the air force to pierce the formation of close defense fighters around the resurrection ship. This was also the focus of the joint exercise, but they didn't know that the battle they thought they had planned would not end the way they imagined.

Unlike in the original story, the Theron people's defense is not as weak as it appears to be. In addition to the two Battle Fortresses that are in the same system as the Reborn Ship, they have two other Battle Fortresses that are within instant communication range.

Theoretically, these two Thalon battle fortresses would be able to jump back to support as soon as they received an alarm from the rear. Even without considering their return, guarding the fleet of the Reborn Ship is still a big problem, and the Theron who control these space fighters are the most experienced units in the Theron fleet. They outnumbered both the pilots of the Galactica and the Pegasos combined.

It can be seen from this that whether it is from the perspective of tactics or infighting, this operation of the fugitive fleet can be described as a fancy gamble, and if the bet is won, they can naturally strike hard at the Theron fleet that pursues them, and win effective strategic maneuver space. If you lose the bet, you are likely to lose a lot of money, and whether you win or lose the battle, the senior leadership of the fleet is likely to fight each other after the battle.

Fortunately, on the day of the battle, the SSC-Qingdao, a heavy cruiser belonging to the expedition, inadvertently broke into the system where the civilian ships in the fleeing fleet they left behind. In order to protect the civilian fleet, Galactica and the Pegasos teamed up to brush up on the Ceremonial Ship, leaving the civilian fleet in a nearby deserted galaxy.

This is a galaxy with strong electromagnetic interference, which happens to be in the galaxy that Qingdao is scheduled to search for that day. The effective detection range of all conventional detection equipment on board, including optical detection equipment, is greatly limited by the dense interstellar dust clouds in this galaxy.

At first, the commander of the Qingdao thought that this place was no different from the other nearly 100 barren galaxies he had searched for a few days earlier, and that he would not find any signs of man-made objects. However, when the spacecraft drove into the interior of the galaxy for a deep scan, a very faint suspected artificial signal source was discovered.

After sending an unmanned probe to investigate, they found that the signal came from more than one source, but a group of signal sources that were very close to each other in the distance. In order to further verify the situation and try not to leak himself as much as possible, he withdrew all the probes and sent two specially modified space fighters to the close reconnaissance.

Eventually, two stealthy specially modified fighters discovered a fleet hiding in the asteroid belt 4 million kilometers away from their ship! Look at the characteristics should be the human escape fleet of the humans in the plot. And there is no battleship protection!

This discovery shocked the commander of the Qingdao. He really didn't expect that among so many colleagues, he would be the first to discover the target. I didn't expect it to be so early. After all, the galaxy is a very large place, and the Theron spaceship they discovered before did not decipher the voyage information.

That ship was most likely left behind a long time ago. With all the search capabilities of their dozen warships, it is very possible to search for several months without results. Unexpectedly, after only 3 days of departure, they handed in good luck. (To be continued......)

PS: After sending the previous chapter tonight, I found out that the chapter names of the first two chapters were wrong. I'm too lazy to change it.,I hope you don't blame it.,According to the group friends, it doesn't affect reading anyway, does it.。 If anyone can't stand it, please post an explanation in the comment area, otherwise I won't change it.

Also, I was going to save this chapter and send it tomorrow night. But I thought about it carefully, and I still sent out this chapter before going to bed, which can be regarded as thanking the book friends for their unremitting support. Tomorrow I will continue to work codewords. Well, without further ado, good night everyone.
