Chapter 186: Working Together

Green Star is a vibrant planet that can be seen even from a distance, and the entire planet's surface is covered with green forests. Although there are no oceans on the planet, there are mountains, rivers, and lakes, but they are all hidden under a somewhat dense forest.

The current Green Star is a different story.

Because of the news that had been received a long time ago, when the "Shadow" rushed out of the space passage, it was still about 50 million kilometers away from the Green Star, and it happened to be behind the satellite called "Cassius", which means "son of the forest" in the Dumen, and was not discovered by the Silicon Charm fleet outside the Green Star.

The battle is still going on, and the Silicon Fleet is besieging the spaceport in the synchronous orbit of Green Star, the only space fortress near Green Star.

Although the people of the Independence loved peace, they also had a large army.

It's just that this army is full of mercenaries from other civilizations.

In the aftermath of the First Greenwich War, the Galactic Alliance Council passed a resolution specifying that each civilization must form an army according to its rank and participate in combat operations when the Alliance enters a state of war. Because it is a resolution of a legal nature passed by the Parliament of the Union, it must be followed by anyone who is a member of the Alliance. The Dumen are no exception, and they must form an army according to the regulations, whether they want it or not.

For this reason, the Dumen formed an army, but there were very few Dumen who were willing to serve, so they could only hire mercenaries from other civilizations.

It's just that the size of the army of the Dumen clan is not very large, and it can't be compared with the human legion at all, and its status is obviously small compared to the fifth-class civilization. This army, with a total of only 100,000 officers and soldiers, is the lower limit of the military strength of the fifth-class civilization set by the Alliance. In peacetime. The main mission of this army is to maintain the shipping route from the center of the Southern Alpha System to the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, or the human federal territory, and to combat the pirates that operate on the route. Because the Dumen have almost no enemies within the Alliance, and there is only one colonized planet, which is still very close, that is, the Blue Star a few light years away. Therefore, the Dumen do not need to rely on the military to maintain the security of the home planet and the colonized planet.

Obviously, this army is more like a police force for maintaining social order.

The spaceport besieged by the Silicon Charm fleet is actually a satellite of Green Star, the fourth largest of the five natural satellites of Green Star, and it is the closest to Green Star. Because the Human Federation grew in the five Greenwich Wars, it became the largest civilization in the vicinity of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, that is, the jurisdiction of the Northern Fourth District, and assumed the heavy responsibility of guarding the Greenwich Line, especially after the Fifth Greenwich War. The Human Federation has become the last remaining civilization in the North Fourth Region, so the route from the Human Federation to the center of the Southern Alpha System has become lively, and the hub of this route, the spaceport converted from satellites, has also benefited.

Here, in addition to 100,000 garrisons, docks that can accommodate tens of thousands of spaceships at the same time, warehouses that hoard billions of tons of goods and complete living and entertainment facilities, there are also branches and offices of tens of thousands of large enterprises. and merchants from various civilizations in the Southern Alpha system.

Although the Monoclan prohibits humans from traveling to the Green Star, it is restricted by the Alliance's treaties. The Monoclan did not prohibit humans from conducting commercial activities at the spaceport.

Of course, there is no way to prohibit it.

To put it bluntly, this spaceport is the foundation for the survival and development of the independent people.

Despite being the lifeblood of the Human Federation, Green Star remains remotely located in the Southern Alpha System, and after the Fifth Greenwich War, other civilizations in the vicinity of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt have become extinct. Only the Human Federation survived. This route is not only the lifeline of the Human Federation, but also the source of wealth for the unique clan. To put it simply, half of the Dumen's revenue comes from taxes from operating airlines and spaceports. If humans were forbidden to conduct business in the spaceport, the Monoclan would go bankrupt. Even if you are a lonely person, your requirements for life are not very high. There is not enough financial revenue, and there is no way to gain a foothold in the Galactic Alliance.

In fact, it was for this tax that the Dumen invested heavily in expanding the size of the spaceport after the Fifth Greenwich War, and spent more money to hire more mercenaries, expand the army to 100,000, and spend more energy on running the spaceport.

Nearly a thousand years of development is enough to turn the spaceport into a bustling space city.

Although he had never been here, Yang Yi learned from the information provided by the Theater Command that a few months ago, this was the most prosperous commercial and trade center near the North Fourth District, and thousands of large cargo spaceships set off from here every day to the central area of the home galaxy or the South Alpha Galaxy, and more than 10 million tons of goods entered and exited from here every hour, and countless people entered and exited the spaceport.

Only now, the prosperity is gone.

Even from tens of millions of kilometers away, you can see the fireball from the explosion that occurred at the spaceport.

Although the spaceport is located on a small satellite, only about 1,000 kilometers in diameter, it is still far more than any man-made spaceport.

The Silicon Charm fleet has surrounded the spaceport and is bombarding it.

The defenders of the spaceport did not surrender and were still resisting, but the firepower of the counterattack was very weak, and there were even fewer fighters in the air.

It's not that those mercenaries aren't brave enough, it's that they simply don't have the right weapons at their disposal.

After the Fifth Greenwich War, the Human Federation took over the North 4th Sector and took on the responsibility of guarding the Greenwich Line alone. Because in the previous Greenwich Wars, the Silicon Charm Alliance launched an attack from the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, first had to sweep the star system in the North Fourth Region, and then advanced to the south, which is equivalent to saying that the Human Federation is in front of the Dumen, as long as the Human Federation holds the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, the Silicon Phantom Legion will not be able to reach the Green Star, and it will not be able to pose a threat to the Dumen. If the Human Federation does not hold the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, even if all the people of the Dumen clan are soldiers, they will not be able to resist the pace of the Silicon Charm Legion. Therefore, in the past thousand years, the Dumen did not attach much importance to the defense of the spaceport, and the hired mercenaries were only responsible for maintaining order in the spaceport and fighting pirates who threatened the shipping routes. Obviously, it is not necessary to deal with illegal criminals such as pirates, and it is not necessary to have very advanced weapons and equipment. Besides, even the most powerful pirate legions don't have the guts to attack a space fortress, so naturally there is no need to deploy heavy weapons on the fortress.

Obviously, the weapons and equipment used to deal with pirates are burning sticks in front of the Silicon Charm fleet.

The mercenaries guarding the spaceport did not run away and continued to fight, which is already very remarkable.

Perhaps, those mercenaries just didn't get a chance to escape.

When Yang Yi and the others observed the battlefield situation, Alun used the battlefield information collected by the "Shadow" to analyze the next action.

Green Star is surrounded, and while the Silicon Fleet is concentrating on attacking the spaceport, there are many patrol ships, and it is impossible for the Shadow to reach Green Star without being detected. To put it simply, as soon as the "Shadow" flew out of the shadow zone of the "Cassius" satellite, it would be spotted by enemy patrol ships. Although the speed of the "Shadow" is fast, it will definitely not be able to break through the interception of the Silicon Fleet.

What to do?

"Go to the spaceport first, and when you get there, find a way to get to Green Star." Shen Chengwen put forward his own ideas. "The enemy is besieging the spaceport, the situation is chaotic, we can take the opportunity to slip over and try our best to get close to the spaceport. If the enemy finds it, force your way through and try to land on the spaceport before you are shot down by the enemy. We're all soldiers, and if we get close enough, we'll be able to reach the spaceport even if the Shadow is destroyed. The point is that you have to get close enough to at least enter the gravitational field of the spaceport. If we can contact the defenders of the spaceport and provide support and cover as we storm the enemy's blockade, the probability of success will be even greater. ”

"Aaron?" Lin Feng didn't ramble, and immediately asked Alun to evaluate Shen Chengwen's proposal.

Moments later, Aaron gave the results of his assessment.

Even in the best case, the plan proposed by Shen Chengwen has a success rate of less than 10%, and it requires the support and cooperation of the spaceport defenders. If you don't contact the defenders of the spaceport, and you are mistakenly attacked by the defenders when you rush to the spaceport, and at the same time you are besieged by the Silicon Charm fleet, the probability of success is even lower, not even five percent. It's just that it's the only way to go. According to Aaron's assessment, only this plan has a chance of success, and none of the other options are even feasible.

Lin Feng did not hesitate and immediately made arrangements.

Shen Chengwen led the officers and men of the strategic squadron to control the weapons of the "Shadow", Jackson and others were responsible for controlling the defense equipment of the "Shadow", Lin Feng personally piloted the "Shadow", and Yang Yi went to the power compartment of the "Shadow" to make the "Shadow" original energy converter reach the maximum power during the assault.

Don't forget, when breaking through from the lava star, Yang Yi used the "source of life" to drive the spaceship.

The Shadow is just a reconnaissance ship, equipped with an A-class Origin Converter, and has very little power to use on the propulsion system when driving both weapon systems and defense equipment. If you want to break through the interception of the Silicon Fleet, you will have to provide additional power to the Shadow.

Obviously, only Yang Yi has this ability.

Of course, that's not to say that everyone else isn't important.

Everyone is on the "Shadow", so to speak, on the same boat, everyone has an important role, and only by working together can we break through the enemy's blockade and be an army. For Yang Yi and dozens of other officers and soldiers, there is no distinction between important and secondary.

At this time, all officers and soldiers knew that only if everyone gave it their all could they win the battle.

In fact, this is also the most fundamental difference between the army and the rogue, the soldier and the ranger. On the battlefield, the army is an unbreakable whole! (To be continued......)
