ACT159: Counterfeits
On December 22nd, three days before Christmas, which is the most important thing in the West, some people who are anxious may have already started preparing the Christmas tree, but in Marta, the Spanish colony, the locals are immersed in fear and sadness.
At 1 o'clock in the morning of the same day, two large unknown warships raided the city. They first shot down several patrol ships patrolling in the vicinity of low-earth orbit, and then, instead of starting the shelling directly in low-earth orbit, as Franco knew, as Franco knew, they broke through the wall of the field and opened fire only about 120 kilometers above the ground.
The reason why the other side chose to carry out artillery bombardment at this altitude was that, on the one hand, the fighter planes would definitely not be able to fly, and it would take a certain amount of time for the space warships to take off to find them. Under the effect of gravitational acceleration, the projectile only needs to fly downwards for about 1 minute before it lands, which can not only improve the hit rate, but also increase the power of the cannonball with gravitational pull.
The two warships fired more than 300 rounds of various types of shells into the ground in a quarter of an hour, and then escaped with their speed advantage before Hami I arrived. Except for the terrifying craters on the ground, the Republican side did not even see the face of the enemy.
"Someone has to pay for this!"
After the air raids, the surviving hawkish officers cried out for blood debts. Some advocated a-for-tat for a tooth and a similar air raid on the territory of the Nationalist Army, while others suggested that the murderer should be caught first. But the navy reluctantly told them that they couldn't do anything about either thing.
First of all, air strikes on enemy cities would certainly not work, because the German and Italian fleets were now entrenched in the airspace over the Nationalist control zone. Provoking them is tantamount to giving the other side an excuse for large-scale military involvement, and it is even more impossible to catch the murderer. In the fleet of the Republican Army, the only one who can barely beat the opponent in terms of combat effectiveness is Haimei I. But the speed of this old ship is only a pitiful 19.5 cosmic knots (note (1)), and the speed of other small ships may be enough, but to go up is to die.
Regrettably, Admiral Duruti was killed in this air raid when he was in command when a large-caliber shell fell on their heads. And what is even more regrettable is that Dragovich was lucky to escape! The other side now not only has a monopoly on power. There is not even anyone who can check and balance him.
In fact, as early as when the other party approached the airspace, Zhao Jian's side had already noticed their movements in advance. After all, the pit is hiding in the shadow side of Venus, and the other party is close to the ground by taking advantage of the night. It was not found that there was such a large lump hidden in the dark night sky, and the actions of the two battleships were completely exposed under the noses of the repair station.
But no one expected that the other party would open fire when it was still more than 100 kilometers away from the ground, which really scared everyone. Because in general common sense, the fleet wants to shell the ground. Or pick a cloudless sunny day. Or rush directly under the clouds, which is really rare across 120 kilometers.
For everyone's doubts, King Kong gave an answer.
"It's not impossible to strike on the ground at very high distances, but there are two things that need to be met first. The first is the need for high-speed warships, and the Celestial Maiden must have excellent control and maintain stability during shelling, and the second is ...... It is necessary to have an observer on the ground to provide real-time ballistic correction for the shelling. You should also feel it, the enemy has only sporadic shelling in the first half. And the ones that were all off the hook at the beginning, but they became more and more accurate in the back. This means that there are their eyes on the ground. ”
"That's right...... By the way, King Kong, why do you know so much about this? ”
"Because when I was serving in the Combined Fleet, I specially trained in this subject, and I was the first in the team!"
“…… I'll have time to talk to you about night fighting. ”
Zhao's fleet was damaged by two ships in previous air raids, and four of his men were killed while spending the night in the city, and their bodies have not been recovered, much to the annoyance of Zhao and his companions. Although everyone understands that this situation is inevitable when they are operating in a war zone, if someone really sacrifices, no one is in a bad mood.
For this reason, Zhao Jian asked the Bozi team to urgently withdraw to the French colony, while the Hydrangea lifted off to the shadow side of the planet and joined the maintenance station. Zhao Jian felt that he should check the identity of the killer of the air raid, and the other party was most likely the "unknown force" mentioned by Dai Li, which was an opportunity to understand the competitors.
As soon as the Hydrangea landed in the pit, Chiyou, the only unsuspecting person on board, screamed in surprise.
"Hey, hey! Didn't you kid say you're a merger? Where did you get this? ”
"You ask this pit? What I found on Jupiter's rings is a little bit tortuous, and sometimes I'll tell you in detail. ”
"Then why didn't you tell me before?"
"You didn't ask!"
"You ......"
A little pretended to be stupid, Zhao Jian didn't trust Chi You before, so he didn't dare to tell her the biggest capital in his hand, but later he found out that the other party was very strict with him.
Chiyou is currently in a state of "poisoning", and nearly 8% of its own regenerated energy is devoured by the virus, making it more and more difficult to move. In the previous 10 years, she had been hiding in the underground hot springs to maintain her body, but now that she has left the hot springs, she will be uncomfortable if she does not "replenish the demons" from Zhao Jian for a day!
However, the way the two of them replenish the demons is completely different from the one that Zhao Jian is "familiar with", Chi You only needs to follow him within 2 meters to receive enough energy for daily activities. This made Zhao Jian laugh at himself, it turned out that the young master still brought his own Bluetooth!
As long as Chi You is still in a state of poisoning, she may not be able to do without Zhao Jian for the rest of her life.
In the inexplicable eyes of others, Chiyou excitedly shouted, "My illness is finally saved", and then ran away. Zhao Jian knew that she was looking for maintenance equipment, but unfortunately he had consulted with the system before, and his maintenance station was full of maintenance facilities for mechanical giant god soldiers, and there were several bio-type cultivation tanks, but they did not have the effect of detoxification.
Energy toxins are almost insolvable without the source code of the virus provided by the poisoner!
Knowing that Chi You was destined to be disappointed, Zhao Jian ignored her for the time being, but went straight to the main control room with the others, he has now opened the access to the main control room, and King Kong, Hongling and Xiao Lu can all enter. As soon as the four of them arrived at the main control room, they asked the system to call up the surveillance video from the air raid last night, and as soon as several people saw the true face of the attacker, King Kong was the first to shout.
"How, how is it possible! Someone is impersonating me! ”
Cosmic knot: The speed of the spacecraft in space, 1 cosmic knot = 1 km/s (linked to the vanilla speed in this way) (to be continued......)
PS: After watching the OVA of "The Girl and the Chariot", White Silk Italy is simply cute!
At the same time, he expressed his recognition of the worldview of cultivating a good wife and mother in the battle lane.
I can't shoot a tank gun, how can I teach my husband and children (laughs)!?
