011. Deterioration
(Thanks to William Lin. for the tips and comments!) )
Almost all the TV channels of the Star Luo Empire broadcast the speech of the council leader Huang Runshan at the same time, and it was obvious that the seemingly urgent temporary speech had been prepared in advance with extremely full arrangements, so that in just an hour or so, most of the Star Luo people knew that the Galactic Alliance had launched a full-scale war against the Star Luo Empire, and the empire had entered a state of war.
The originally peaceful Star Luo Empire seemed to explode in an instant, whether it was the people living in the rich Central Star Region or the ordinary people living in the remote mining stars, whether it was the children of the powerful or the homeless people living on the streets, whether it was the gray-haired old man or the young teenagers...... Upon learning of this shocking news, they were almost all in disbelief.
War, this strange and familiar term, swirls in the minds of the people of the Empire, some people become dazed, some people become angry, some people become worried, some people become frightened, and some people remain calm......
In just one hour, the Star Luo Empire seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes, the lively neighborhood seemed to have become quiet, the crowded entertainment square seemed to have become a little deserted, and the pleasant and warm dining table seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze......
In an apartment in the eastern part of Snowflake City, Fang Shi returned to the kitchen after watching TV to continue preparing his dinner with An Su.
Soon, two dishes and one soup were put on the table, and a simple dinner was made. There is meat and vegetarian without losing nutrition.
Fang Shi, as usual, ate calmly.
An Su's face was slightly worried, and after eating a few bites, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said softly: "Brother, do you think Sister Xiangyi will be fine?" I haven't been able to contact her for the past few days. ”
Fang Shi was also a little worried, whether it was Tianxun or the Internet in the past few days, he had not contacted Ye Xiangyi. However, he knew that Ye Xiangyi should be fine for the time being, and he had already asked his senior sister Ye Zhiqiu yesterday to make sure that the Zhan Ji Mecha Battalion was not affected. But he still has some concerns. According to the information of senior sister Ye Zhiqiu. The Battle Ji Mecha Battalion seems to have joined the front line of the Eastern Region of the Empire as soon as possible, and the front line of the Eastern Region of the Empire is extremely dangerous at present, so I only hope that Ye Xiangyi will not encounter any danger.
Glancing at An Su, Fang Shi comforted: "It's okay. My brother has already inquired. Xiangyi is fine. There may be an urgent mission that cannot be contacted in the near future. ”
"Really?"
Hearing this, An Su's face softened slightly, and he blinked his eyes.
Fang Shi nodded slightly. replied: "Really, when did my brother lie to you, but the leave she applied for may be gone." ”
An Xu showed some disappointment on his face, and asked thoughtfully, "Is it because of the wartime state that the TV just said?" ”
Fang Shi took a light breath and replied, "It's possible, let's eat quickly." ”
……
Although the head of the council, Huang Runshan, announced that the empire had entered a state of war, it seemed that he had no influence on a small person like Fang Shi. His life is still the same, he first sent his sister Anxu to school in the morning, and then rushed to the No. 2 R&D laboratory of the No. 2 Research Institute of Xuehua Company.
The Phantom Mecha in the center of R&D Lab 2 was still standing, and it had changed a lot from two years ago. At present, the second team is conducting research and development on the basis of the Phantom 002 mecha, and strives to further improve the combat performance of the Phantom mecha, which is also the research and development direction of the second team for a long time in the future.
Fang Shi's life is the same as ever, he continues to work, study and train, and time passes day by day, the only difference is that he now follows the situation of the empire almost every day through television and the Internet.
Compared with the calm life of Fang Shi, the war between the empire and the alliance is turbulent, and a lot of information is revealed from the Internet and TV reports almost every day, some are officially released by the government, and some are circulated through the grapevine, whether it is true or not, but the two have this common feature, the war is becoming more and more urgent, and the situation in the empire seems to be deteriorating step by step.
After the head of the parliament, Huang Runshan, announced that the empire had entered a state of war, the official government website began to publish all kinds of information about the war situation, although it was all simple and specially processed information, but as long as you read it carefully, you can find that the problems are basically the information about the imperial military's setbacks in the Eastern Region, and there is almost no encouraging information. In addition, on the fifth day after the speech of the council leader Huang Runshan, something happened in the Central Star Region that shocked all the Star Luo people - the Central Star Region was attacked by the alliance fleet!
Yes, the fleet of the Alliance actually entered the Central Star Sector.
It was a miniature fleet of five warships, and after entering the Central Star Region unknowingly, it ambushed more than a dozen large civilian spaceships and transport ships in one day, which can be said to have shocked the entire Central Military Region.
The Imperial First Military Region in the Central Star Region immediately sent more than a thousand warships to conduct a carpet search, and it was only after finally finding the five warships of the alliance and successfully destroying them.
Although the warships sent by the First Military Region finally wiped out the alliance's miniature fleet, it made the people of the central star region panic, they didn't know what the alliance fleet would appear in the central star sector of the empire, could it be that the eastern region had been completely defeated so that the alliance fleet could successfully break through the layers of defense and enter the central star sector?
All kinds of unpleasant speculations are brewing in the hearts of the people of the Central Star Region, and at the same time, some rumors that are not conducive to stability have appeared on the Internet. The Central Star Region seems to have become a little panicked all of a sudden, and many wealthy people are secretly planning to flee the Central Star Sector and go to the three major regions of the west, south, and north, which seem to be relatively safe, at least not affected by the war for now.
In the end, it was the Imperial Government that issued a description of the incident that stabilized the mood of the people in the Central Star Sector. It turned out that the five warships that attacked the central star sector were stealth warships of the Ghost series developed by the Alliance, and they had a certain degree of evasion from the detection of conventional reconnaissance equipment. The miniature fleet composed of five alliance warships is only one of the five miniature fleets sent by the alliance to disrupt the central star sector of the empire, and the remaining four miniature warships have been annihilated by military warships before they reach the central area, and this miniature warship is just an accidental fish that slipped through the net. At present, the military has set up a new defense line in the Central Star Region and the Eastern Region, which can effectively combat the alliance's warships that attempt to sneak attack the Central Star Region. In addition, the alliance's ghost fleet is generally only composed of a few warships, once the number of warships in the fleet is too large, it will be easy to be detected by reconnaissance equipment, and it will lose the so-called stealth ability, and the fleet composed of only a few warships will not pose any threat to the five main planets in the central star region at all. There are a large number of monitoring satellites in the vicinity of the five main planets in the center, and they contain a lot of special monitoring equipment, and if they attack the planet, they will often be discovered before they get close. Therefore, the five main planets of the Central Star are still absolutely safe, and there is no need to worry about anything.
Fang Shi was also quite shocked by the attack on the central star sector, and the alliance's warships actually entered the central star sector. The central star sector is the center of the Star Luo Empire, and it is also the foundation, if the Galactic Alliance has the ability to attack, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable. When he saw the detailed instructions released by the government, he was slightly relieved, it turned out that the alliance had developed a new type of ghost warship, and it also reminded him of the Phantom mecha being attacked by the alliance warship during the space test, and the three alliance warships also appeared in the hinterland of the Eastern Region unknowingly, and it should be this kind of stealth warship.
The attack on the Central Star Region has just calmed down, but there is a series of bad news from the Eastern Region, first of all, the transport fleet responsible for the transportation of materials to support the front line of the Eastern Region has been attacked one after another, and the attack is still on the stealth warships of the Alliance's Ghost series. The alliance's stealth fleet is indeed composed of several warships to form various mini-fleets, these mini-fleets have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Eastern Region, basically do not engage in frontal combat with the military fleet, but use their stealth capabilities to carry out hide-and-seek guerrilla warfare, and their targets are weaker warships than them or some transport ships that lack escort power. In addition, there seems to be a special chain of command between these mini-fleets, and they occasionally form multiple mini-fleets to work together. In this way, they can eat larger targets, and when the battle is complete, they will immediately separate and constantly look for new targets.
At present, the situation of the defense line in the Eastern Region is grim, and a large number of troops must be invested in defense, and the miniature ghost fleets of the alliance that cannot be swept away have only arranged a few sporadic fleets to strike, but for the vast area of the Eastern Region, a few sporadic fleets will not have any effect at all. As for the incident of the transport fleet, they can only send more warships to escort the ship, and sometimes some particularly important supplies often need more than a hundred warships to escort in order to ensure absolute safety, the purpose is to prevent the ghost fleet of those alliances from cooperating with the battle.
In the hinterland of the Eastern Region, the purpose of the Alliance's ghost miniature fleet is to harass and increase the pressure on the rear of the front line in the Eastern Region of the Empire, although it does not pose any mortal threat, but it is this seemingly small trouble that brings great trouble to the Empire, on the one hand, the transportation cost has greatly increased, and on the other hand, it has also caused certain restrictions on the supply of the front line in the Eastern Region. In addition, at the beginning of the war, the Galactic Alliance successfully attacked several important military supply centers of the Empire in the Eastern Region. As the fighting between the two sides became more and more intense, the materials on the front line of the Eastern Region of the Empire were almost frantically consumed, and at the same time, the materials could not be effectively replenished, so the battle on the front line of the Eastern Region showed a trend of deterioration step by step.
