The star "Solomon" was once thought to be the twin brother of the Sun of the Old World, and from an astronomical point of view, it is quite similar to the Sun. But the planetary system it gave birth to is quite different from the old world solar system of human civilization. It has only one gas planet and two terrestrial planets. Although the number of planets is a little less, the outermost planet "Africa" has a superior natural ecological environment for the entire Perseus spiral arm interstellar.

About 250 astronomical units away from the planet "Africa" is the "bow" and "wave" formed by the rotation of the star "Solomon" in the Milky Way, which is outside the star's heliosheath. Here, the Imperial Army built a huge space station, Zama, orbiting the star of Solomon.

The space station looks like a giant cross made of building blocks, and is intended for both military and civilian use. In addition to serving as a distribution center for interstellar super-heavy cargo ships and a transit point for passengers, the main force and headquarters of the "Hannibal" detachment of the Central Fleet, which has long been stationed on the planet "African-African", are stationed.

This is an intriguing combination, given that in 202 BC the Carthaginian commander Hannibal was defeated by the Roman Sulpio the Great at the Battle of Zama. Cornelius? Scipio, P? CORNELIVS? P? F? L?N? SCIPIO? AFRICANVS）。 Moreover, the flagship of the "Hannibal" fleet, the "Hannibal", was renamed the "Great Scipio" just a year ago, and it is rumored that the Senate did this to give the "Hannibal" British name to one of the battleships in the "Commander" class and the "Super Commander" class under construction. However, to this day, the new "Hannibal" has not yet been seen, and the Imperial Army General Reginald? Ustinov, however, commanded the "Hannibal" detachment on board the "Great Scipio".

Even Admiral Ustinov was a rather peculiar person. Judging by the name alone, one would often think that this duke might be a descendant of a Slavic people, but this person was called the "black widow". In fact, her ancestors were from Ethiopia, and she was a woman who, like Hannibal, had dark skin and curly hair, but she was a complete 'woman'! General Ustinov's original name was Magilena? Sammon, Reginald, and Ustinov were her father's and husband's surnames, respectively, and both were killed in the Battle of Machu Picchu in 2890. In memory of her father and husband, Magilena adopted her father's name, "fulfilling her duty to the Senate and to the people of Rome in the name of her father."

This is despite all indications that the Bundeswehr is launching a military operation against the Reich itself. However, until the end of October, the fog of peace had not yet lifted. The Central Fleet dispatched a large number of unmanned reconnaissance ships and notification ships, but none of them discovered the whereabouts of the first, second, and third fleets of the other side. Whether it was going to the border space of the 135th parallel to strengthen the vigilance, or rushing to the vast space above and below the inaccessible silver road, the unmanned reconnaissance ships and unmanned notification ships of the Imperial Army did not find the slightest trace of the enemy fleet.

Although the "Hannibal" detachment returning from the planet "Iserron" to the "African" star field has also been on high alert, General Ustinov is still quite skeptical about the possibility of the Bundeswehr raiding the "African" planet.

On the one hand, although the planet "Africa" supplies most of the food of the Empire, it is also the Empire planet that has the greatest influence on the Federation after the planet "Taiji". Even if the Federation army attacks here, it can hurt the foundation of the empire, but at the same time, it will also drag itself down, which can be described as "killing a thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred". On the other hand, the "Hannibal" fleet, like the "Constantine" fleet, belonged to the "Imperial Guard" of the Senate, and 2,000 of the total 2,05 warships were battleships. When the Bundeswehr comes on an expedition, it is unlikely that they will pick hard bones to gnaw, otherwise they will commit a taboo.

However, the new president of the Perseus Interstellar Federation, Song Tingrong, and the Minister of Defense, General Higgins, are staring at this hard bone with drooling. Although General Xu Hongzhao, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary fleet, had great doubts about the success of the "Qin Shi Huang" plan, after all, he was ordered by the king to do his best, and he could only go all out to lead the army to march long distances to attack the heavily garrisoned planet "Africa" regardless of the scruples of the soldiers.

On November 24, 2919, the Perseus Interstellar Bundeswehr Expeditionary Fleet, holding high the banner of freedom and democracy, sailed 10,000 light-years in the outer deep space above the galactic surface, and finally approached its destination and flew into the gravitational range of the star "Solomon". In an open space with nearly 10,000 AU left on the target planet "African-African", the three Wehrmacht fleets converged for the last full replenishment rest before the attack.

The huge fleet that had flown for 10,000 light-years was finally no longer able to hide, and an Imperial Army unmanned reconnaissance ship soon spotted the uninvited guests.

The sudden appearance of the enemy army undoubtedly took the "Black Widow" by surprise. But Reginald? General Ustino reacted quickly, and immediately personally led all 1,000 battleships and 500 cruisers stationed near the "Zama" space station to attack the opponent's assembly area, and at the same time urgently ordered 1,000 battleships near the planet "Africa" to rush to the aid and sent messengers to the planets "Iserlon" and "New Byzantium."

The Bundeswehr expeditionary fleet completed its scheduled replenishment mission and spotted the Imperial fleet approaching at the speed of light, thousands of astronomical units away. The Wehrmacht was faced with two options: to fight directly and enter the decisive battle with superior forces, or to avoid the opponent's edge and instead attack the planet "Africa". But all of them had to withstand the fatigue of personnel and the wear and tear of machinery caused by the fatigue of the expedition.

In fact, Xu Hongzhao and his fleet still had plenty of time to evade their opponents, neither to fight nor to attack "Africa", and to maneuver with their opponents in the vast expanse of space. However, considering the unfavorable situation that their own 'exposure' will inevitably lead to a group attack by the opponent, it is really a good strategy for this fleet to go deep away from the homeland.

Therefore, Admiral Xu Hongzhao quickly ordered the evacuation of the logistics supply ships and arranged a battle formation, preparing to respond to the battle with an absolute superiority of troops. Once the more than 1,000 Imperial warships that took the initiative to attack were eliminated, the Wehrmacht could calmly and quickly attack the planet "Africa" and achieve the core purpose of the "Qin Shi Huang" plan before the Imperial reinforcements arrived.

Under Xu Hongzhao's 'fine' control, 3,000 Bundeswehr battleships were arranged in an umbrella array standing on the silver surface. Excluding the 800 cruisers guarding the logistics supply fleet, the remaining 2,000 cruisers were divided into five small umbrella formations, distributed above, below, left, right, and rear of the battlefleet, preventing the enemy's small fleet from performing space storm tactics that might appear at any time from five directions.

The Imperial fleet arrived as scheduled, and after a thousand battleships and five hundred cruisers had reached the speed of light, they formed a dense cone-shaped battle formation on the silver road, facing the Wehrmacht 10 million kilometers away. But instead of striking with the speed they expected, they slowed down with a large radiance, moving slowly forward at a speed slightly higher than the speed of the Fourth Universe.

"How? Running so fast to perform Tai Chi? Regarding the abnormal behavior of the imperial army, Xu Hongzhao couldn't help but question.

"Sir, seeing our formation, the enemy seems to be afraid." Second Fleet Commander Hadrian? Lieutenant General Ed 'Mon' Sen said contemptuously in the communication system.

"If you have come, you will be safe."

Xu Hongzhao said confidently. A thousand battleships and five hundred cruisers were less than half the size of his strength, and they were completely unafraid. From the current situation, the Imperial Army should not have expected them to suddenly appear in the "Solomon" star field, and now is a great opportunity. So he gave the order in a loud voice:

"One-third of the speed of light, 'close' the enemy!"

The early warning systems of the warships of both sides rely on the gravitational 'wave' detection system, because the gravitational 'wave' propagates at the speed of light, so it takes about half a minute to learn the opponent's movements at a distance of 10 million kilometers. Thus, by the time the Imperial Army learned that the Wehrmacht was accelerating its approach, the adversary had advanced nearly three million kilometres, reducing the distance to more than six million kilometres.

"All turn to ninety degrees, one-sixth of the speed of light!" On the battleship "Scipio the Great", Ustinov calmly gave the order.

"Sir, shouldn't we fight?" A staff officer immediately raised questions.

"Of course it will be a fight, but not at this time." Ustinov said calmly.

Although Ustinov is brave on the surface, she is a 'female' general after all, and she still has the fine qualities of 'female' and 'sexual' carefulness and tenacity. Through the situation reported by the unmanned reconnaissance ship, she was well aware of the balance of power between herself and the enemy, and arbitrarily launched a decisive battle, which was tantamount to a 'chicken' egg hitting a stone. Not only is it difficult to deal a heavy blow to the opponent, but it is even more difficult to defend the planet "Africa".

Even if another thousand battleships arrived, her fleet still did not have an advantage, so after receiving a report of the enemy's situation, she decisively resorted to delaying tactics. The army led the army to rush in quickly, as if in a hurry to fight, but in fact it was only to hold back the opponent and make it difficult for him to directly assault the planet "African-African" and buy more time for the other detachments of the Central Fleet to rush in for reinforcements. Therefore, in the current situation, she has to lure her opponent into pursuit, leading her nose around the sheath of the star "Solomon".

Faced with a sudden 90-degree turn in front of the "Hannibal" fleet, Xu Hongzhao immediately ordered the Wehrmacht fleet to follow the turn and accelerate to the highest reaction speed to pursue and shorten the distance.

Seeing that his opponent had indeed been hit, Ustinov happily ordered to accelerate to the fastest speed of light. Soon, the two sides maintained a distance of nearly 1 million kilometers at a speed of nearly 150,000 kilometers per second, staging a game of "brave army and thief" one after the other.
