Chapter 86: Post-War Matters
"Commander Fils, why don't you take advantage of the chaos that Xia Long is in now, busy dealing with the nuclear-powered missiles we have sent, and make some surprise attacks?" The staff officer who had been thrown away before began to be cautious again, intending to launch the laser main gun, but for fear of angering Phils.
"Forget it, Master Cass has almost given us time, poor Kou Mo chases, in case of provoking Xia Long, his high-performance warships give our remaining warships to harass in turn, all of them are injured, and they have been chasing and fighting regardless of losses, and the Life Freedom will attack fiercely again, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back."
Many battles may not have improved Fils's offensive thinking a lot, but he is very sensitive to potential dangers, Xia Long's electromagnetic attack is too powerful, and some warships even have electromagnetic storms, if you really want each of your warships to be damaged a little bit, affecting the power, it is very likely that Xia Long's mothership will be solved one by one.
"You have thought about it comprehensively enough, in case you are in a hurry Xia Long, this thing will really happen, I think the problem is indeed as you said, thinking too simply!"
"Okay, Staff Officer Zheng Zhi, you can see that after this real battle, you have also grown a lot, and you have to consider the problem more comprehensively in the future, your suggestion just now is quite useful if it is against other people, but Xia Long has Ancestor Particles on his side, it is too dangerous, the best way is to destroy his resource supply line, and at the same time hurt his root little by little, and let him be trapped to death at the end!"
Cass calculated the time and contacted Firth alone: "Prepare to return to D-star, don't stop more on the way, rescue the victims, so as not to be discovered by Xia Long, don't fight again, it's not good to be ambushed by Xia Long again!" ”
Although the effect of this expedition to Xialong is not as good as Cass expected, it is a piece of meat that has been cut, with the development ability of Xialong's base, the base has been heavily damaged, and many factories in the original ore mining area have been destroyed, and they will definitely tighten their belts to live for a period of time in the future, but I am afraid that if you want to build a warship, you have to be careful.
A fleet, 10 warships, has been disabled by Xia Long so far 3 warships, 1 mothership, hundreds of warships, continue to increase casualties, will affect Cass's prestige, make the people of New Blue Star question, whether it is to unify the major city-states in the future, or to resist the invasion of the Avengers, it will have an impact.
After dealing with the affairs of the expeditionary force, Cass contacted his own shadow, Cass No. 1, and asked him to vigorously publicize the results of his expedition to Xia Long, of course, only to promote the good aspects, or to exaggerate and proclaim, everyone has the psychology of being elected, even if Xia Long finds a way to respond afterwards, there will not be many people who believe it.
Nearly 2 hours later, Alice received a message from Oscar, the head of the D star of the No. 6 city-state, that Cass's expeditionary force had returned, and after spreading the news, the people on Xia Long's side let out bursts of cheers, and everyone in the Mothership of Life and Freedom and the farm base relaxed down.
The battle was over, Xia Long's strength had not been long in development, and the farm base, facing Cass, the most important figure in New Blue Star, had successfully resisted the expeditionary force he sent, and after a short cheer and relaxation, more people fell silent.
The situation of the mothership Life Freedom is fine, launching a surprise attack, a fierce attack in a short period of time, and paralyzing an enemy ship, the damage is not serious, but the investment in the maintenance of the mothership, Xia Long can still accept it.
But in terms of warships, the two hundred ships brought by Mike, plus the more than 100 Chitu warships that were produced one after another, the ambush in the copper mining area, the defense of the rare earth mine, and the defense of the base at the rear, a total of 100 ships were lost, as high as 30%, and Wang Qi, who had followed Xia Long for a long time, was also uncertain.
As for the farm base, after the fierce attack of the enemy, it is now full of holes, like the surface of the moon, there are cracks everywhere, large and small potholes and cracks, and in some serious places, you can already see the frame of the internal base, or dents, collapses, or traces of temporary repair after direct penetration, and the wreckage of robots can be seen in some places, which is the scene of them plugging the gap with their lives.
In the fierce battle, the multi-functional combat platform used by Martin in the base has been almost completely destroyed, and now Martin is sitting in another combat platform with the left hand of the remaining Xia Long, and he is already very low-loaded, and now the situation is even more worrying.
Cuton and the people in the base are busy, the base is in shambles, there are rocks everywhere, all kinds of items are messed around in the battle, robots, humans and clones wearing good enough protective armor, quickly clean up the mess.
Affected by the battle, the meteorite at the farm base was heavily damaged, and many of the passages that the spacecraft entered were blocked, the warships were okay, there were already a lot of passages, and they could still return to the base by queuing up slowly, but the size of the Life Freedom was only one channel, and the damage was very serious, and if you want to return, I am afraid that it will take a few more days.
The space outside the base is like a space garbage dump after the war, with meteorite fragments, debris of warships after destruction, and even some nuclear-powered missiles affected by electromagnetic storms, just drifting slowly near the base, and many rescue capsules are also among them.
After Xia Long returned to the mothership, he was already exhausted, if it weren't for the high-end protective armor, standing up in the capital, the injection of adrenaline hormones would only temporarily force people to cheer up, and then it would be even more serious weakness, looking at Xia Long's pale face when he opened his helmet and breathed heavily, Alice felt a faint pain in her heart.
"Let's gather the main members to the mothership to discuss the battle!" Xia Long looked at Alice's teary eyes, and hurriedly arranged important things, crying will also be contagious, one person is sad, more people will be sad together.
In the cockpit of the mothership for half an hour, Xia Long said to the two former captains: "The damage to the mothership is not serious, Bain, you continue to command the mothership to rescue the people near the base, regardless of whether you are the enemy or me; Li Hu, you and Alice will count the casualties more specifically! ”
At this time, Mike took the initiative to ask for orders: "Let me lead the warship to search and rescue near the copper mine and rare earth mining area?" I've got quite a few guys who died over there, and I'm worried about them! Kevin is a very good driver, and Wang Qi has always been very motivated. ”
Mike, who is a clone, became more and more depressed, and Alice finally couldn't bear it anymore, and tears fell: "I'll go too, it must be that I always cursed Wang Qi before and let him drift in space, and I will catch him back." ”
Seeing that Xia Long was a little embarrassed, Li Hu said: "Leave the statistics to me, you have sent me a lot of manpower, this kind of thing can be handled!" ”
"I'm very happy to see you helping each other, just follow what you said, but Mike, the warship you are responsible for can't send too many search and rescue to the mining area, and you have to wait for two days first, I'm worried that the enemy will be ambushed nearby, and I have to further confirm the enemy's situation with Oscar, and I have to search and rescue the people in distress near the base first, and the risk will be smaller!" Since the development momentum and Cass are working against each other, Xia Long must think about the problem carefully.
"Keton, No. 1, you four, to be on the safe side, bring some warships to the protection, and simply repair the two enemy ships that were damaged in this battle, as long as they can basically operate, so that the search and rescue will be faster." Xia Long felt aggrieved in his heart, and every time after the war, he had to pick up the spaceship that Cass didn't want to give up and use it for himself.
"It's a pleasure to work with you, although we are both builders of the Life Freedom, but you are in charge of the mothership, we are in charge of the subship, except for the Life Freedom, this is the first time we have cooperated to repair other ships!" Number 1 held out his hand and shook it with Keton.
For a lot of time in the future, Xialong's farm base is destined to be difficult to develop, and even regress, and the focus of work must be on the maintenance of the base, when the existing resources and materials are viewed, it is also a very difficult thing.
Of course, there are many robots under Keton, and there are more things, the maintenance of the base, the materials that can be refined and produced must also be carried out as usual, and those destroyed raw ore mining areas have to use the initial way to collect resources, and the collection spacecraft will be loaded in the past and then transported back to the base, after all, some resources cannot be cut off from supply, and it is better to be less efficient than nothing.
After the post-war matters were almost dealt with, only Xia Long and Kelly were left in the driver's hall, and the two bodyguards were left, looking at Kelly, Xia Long, who was born as a half-human businessman, forgot his fatigue and headache, and came to inspiration and started a businessman's calculation.
