In the general's box of the "Eagle's Nest" club on the large supply ship Kehlstein, Kobayashi, an intelligence analyst, expressed his opinion to his colleagues with suspicion:

"If there is no special laser detonation, I am afraid that our metallic hydrogen reserve unit will not explode so easily, and it will be a large-scale explosion!"

"Even if we have mentioned the problem of energy reserve security, but from the perspective of the internal protective structure of the 'Brahma', it is difficult for the tactical command center to be completely destroyed by the explosion of the energy cabin, since all the personnel of the headquarters were killed, then there is only one possibility, that is, at the same time as the explosion of the energy cabin, the tactical command center also exploded!"

"You mean to say that someone infiltrated our fleet and carried out sabotage!" Admiral Sergea asked.

"We can't arbitrarily rule out this possibility!" Lieutenant General Berrua said.

"In my judgment, it's definitely sabotage!" Hikaru Kobayashi was very sure in one breath.

"Whether it's a conspiracy to sabotage or not, leave it to General Irina to investigate! We should strengthen the preparedness of our respective fleets, especially the security of our flagships! Admiral Masson proposed.

However, the focus on the explosion of the Brahma gave way to an attack on the planet Aegis.

At 6 o'clock on March 27, 2020, the Central Fleet of the New Roman Imperial Army crossed the sun sheath of the star "Amartea" and launched an attack on the large integrated space station "Yellow River" of the Immortal Star Federation.

The fleet guarding the "Yellow River" No. 7 has long since fled, and the civilians and civilian ships have also retreated, leaving more than 1,000 Wehrmacht Marines and 3,000 National Guard Marines, under the command of Yang Huaiqing, a lieutenant colonel of the Wehrmacht, who swore to live and die with the space station.

In his correspondence, Lieutenant Colonel Yang Huaiqing briefly and arrogantly responded to the persuasion of Lieutenant Colonel Sun Biao, the intelligence staff officer of the "Alexander" detachment: "Wait for the rats, just let the horses go!" ”

The Imperial Army was outraged by this almost provocative response, and Field Marshal Badenbrock immediately ordered the dispatch of interstellar marines to capture the "Yellow River" VII.

"We must catch Yang Huaiqing, a rat, I want to see people alive and corpses when I die!"

Every Marine who went out heard the vicious orders of the female marshal from the public channel.

However, when Admiral Irina at the rear of the ship learned that Badenbrock had ordered the capture of the "Yellow River" No. 7 space station, he hurriedly made a proposal to change the "capture" to "destroy".

"Marshal, there is no need for us to spend our Marine Corps forces on these space stations, the enemy commander is the veteran General Bloomberg, and the decisive battle of the fleet behind may have a large-scale engagement battle against us, as long as we defeat the main force of the enemy's fleet, the entire 'Amarteaa' star field will naturally fall into our hands!"

However, Badenbrock did not agree with Irina's statement, saying: "Our main purpose is to occupy the enemy's territory, and the crushing of the enemy's fleet is only a necessary means!" ”

The correspondence was soon terminated, and Irina reluctantly said to her colleagues: "I can think of anything, but I will only get nothing!" ”

The tragic hand-to-hand encounter was carried out in the huge spherical space station "Yellow River" No. 7.

The Imperial Marines were fierce and forced their way in with the fleet's firepower, but the Wehrmacht and the National Guard Marines were able to meet the attack, and because the Imperial Army was determined to occupy, the fleet was inactive when its Marines entered the space station, allowing the Federation to conduct internal operations without any worries.

The toughness of the opponent exceeded the expectations of Field Marshal Badenbrock and the Imperial Army, and as a result, the Imperial Marines who boarded the "Yellow River" No. 7 suffered more and more casualties, and the Imperial Army had to send more Marines.

The fierce battle lasted for an hour, and most of the internal space of the "Yellow River" 7 space station, which was surrounded by the Imperial fleet, was still firmly controlled by the federal forces.

Field Marshal Badenbrock had to adjust his original intentions, send a small group of cruisers to stay in support, and lead the main force of the fleet to continue the advance towards the planet "Aegis".

Lieutenant Colonel Yang Huaiqing and his subordinates were eventually annihilated by nearly five times the opponent's troops, but before his death, the lieutenant colonel activated the self-destruction procedure of the "Yellow River" No. 7 space station, and 100,000 metallic hydrogen bombs installed in various vital parts of the space station were detonated at the same time.

A dazzling ball of light instantly swallowed the spherical space station with a diameter of 30 kilometers, carrying countless lights and fragments, as well as the souls of more than 23,000 soldiers of the Empire and the Federation, and quickly dissipated into the lonely cosmic space.

The losses caused by the self-destruction of the Yellow River 7 space station did not stop Marshal Badenbrock's greed for a second space station on the way to the planet "Aegis".

Unable to find the enemy fleet, Badenbrock sent 20,000 marines to the first assault on the space station "Tangonia".

After more than three hours of fierce fighting, the Imperial Army finally took the "Tanganya" space station, but more than 30,000 Marines were killed. Although they completely annihilated 10,000 opponents.

The attack on the third federal space station, the Zaire River, is scheduled for 11 o'clock human standard time on March 28, 2020.

Approaching the moment of attack: Attila Squadron Commander Sergea? Bint? Admiral Rahman received a message from Helvir? Admiral Irina's correspondence showed that Irina and her battleship "Yuri Poshi", together with the 400 battleships that escorted the logistics supply fleet, had quietly moved forward to the left front of the entire ship array, and at a distance of less than 300,000 kilometers, they were advancing in tandem with the "Attila" detachment.

The blonde admiral complained to the black-haired admiral, "Serea, if this continues, our Marines will be depleted!" ”

"The marshal is a perfectionist, demanding every detail of victory!" Serea? Bint? Rahman's tone was a little helpless, as a subordinate, she knew that in addition to resolutely carrying out the orders of the commander, she could not effectively influence the determined Badenbrock.

"Serea, your fleet will be placed in the vanguard, and I think you will still be able to keep our army from fearless bloodshed and attrition!"

Sereya hesitated for a moment and said, "General Irina, you want me to disobey the order of Marshal Badenbrock and directly destroy the 'Zaire River' space station!" ”

"Exactly!" Irina responded with a resolute tone.

"General. Although I personally agree with you from the level of tactical theory, as the commander of the detachment, I must unconditionally obey the instructions of the commander-in-chief! ”

"In that case, then you won't have to do it, General Sergea!" Irina's tone was cold.

Communication came to an abrupt halt.

Under the heavy space helmet, Sereya's face was intertwined with a look of dissatisfaction and worry. Irina actually encouraged her to act against orders, and the paranoid fleet commander and colleagues made her feel uncomfortable.

"Report, the escort fleet preemptively launched an artillery bombardment!"

With this nervous scream, a thousand rays of light pierced through the space and swooped down on the space station tens of millions of kilometers away, and in this era when "the moment it was hit when it learned that the enemy was firing", the "Zaire River" running along the established orbit had no time to avoid this fierce artillery fire, and was smashed to pieces in the enemy's precisely calculated position, together with the more than 2,000 defenders on it.

Admiral Irina's unauthorized actions annoyed Field Marshal Badenbrock, who was the commander-in-chief of the fleet. Although he avoided the huge casualties of the Starmarines storming the space station, the marshal was emotionally relieved of all duties by seeing the "Zaire River" reduced to floating pieces.

In the communication loop, her angry howl was heard: "Arrest this woman and send her to a court-martial!" ”

Temporary replacement for Helwell? Is it Frederiga that Irina is leading the logistical supply convoy? Feng? Vice Admiral Liu Longbiao, a close confidant of Field Marshal Badenbrock and nephew of conservative veteran Liu Mingqin, made the other two detachment commanders uneasy, but Liu Longbiao was the only one who could reassure Badenbrock, because she was the one who was single-handedly promoted and was in the same political faction.

The attack on the last large space station in the star "Amarthea" system and the space station "Ganges", which is also the closest to the planet "Agilis", was launched as scheduled shortly after the personnel change, and it was already at 23 o'clock on March 28, 2020 human standard time. At this time, there was still no trace of the fleet of the Bundeswehr, and a large number of unmanned reconnaissance ships and notification ships that went to the surrounding space to investigate were unable to search for the enemy.

In fact, a pair of sharp-eyed eyes were closely staring at these fleets from distant enemy countries, and the unmanned reconnaissance ships under the command of Admiral Bloomberg skillfully evaded the opponent's surveillance system, and transmitted the movements of the fleet of the new Roman Empire to the general flagship "Pangu" 1 in time.

"The enemy is attacking as we expected!" Admiral Du Qifeng said with satisfaction.

"Inform General Zhou Jiande and Colonel Robb to act according to the plan!" Then he hurriedly added: "Remember to tell Robb that the Federal National Games will fight here!" ”

Du Qifeng hesitated a little and asked, "Five-star general, is it necessary to put so much pressure on him?" ”

"His father saved our generation, and he can save their generation!"

"I understand, sir!"

Under the heavy spacesuit, Bloomberg's expression was solemn, but his tone was excited: "Brothers, the time for the decisive battle has come, maybe we will not be able to go back alive, but our sacrifice must be the most meaningful, I, the five-star general of the Wehrmacht Eric?" Feng? Bloomberg, solemnly swear to you, my comrades, that there will be no victory, and I would rather die! ”

The old general's brief and excited appeal reached the ears of all the officers and men of the Bundeswehr fleet by means of encrypted radio and unmanned announcements.

Under the command of Vice Admiral Zhou Jiande, the Eighth Fleet of the Immortal Interstellar Bundeswehr took the lead in flying out of the berthed space and leaping into the speed of light.

At 1:30 a.m. on March 30, 2020, 500 million kilometers away from the orange dwarf star Amartea, the Senate and the Central Fleet of the Roman People finally discovered the rival Perseus Star Bundeswehr fleet.

The flagship of the Wehrmacht's Eighth Fleet, the dark gray myth-class battleship "Kuafu" 3, quickly penetrated the surveillance network composed of unmanned reconnaissance ships of the Imperial Army, changing to the faster-than-light state of Akuberi, followed by 1,500 battleships and 600 cruisers of the Eighth Fleet.

Tension immediately spread throughout the Imperial fleet with the shuttle of unmanned notification ships.

The distance between the two sides was more than an astronomical unit, which gave the Imperial Marshal Badenbrock enough time to launch an attack formation, under the command of the marshal, the three most powerful detachments of the Imperial Army "Alexander", "Attila" and "Constantine", concentrated a total of 5,500 battleships, arranged in a huge cone-shaped formation, at half the speed of light, directly towards the Bundeswehr Eighth Fleet, while the other nearly 3,000 cruisers were divided into more than ten small fleets, Patrol the space around the cone formation at high speed to prevent the opponent from launching a "space storm" blowing tactic.

Although the balance of strength can be described as one-sided, the Eighth Fleet under Vice Admiral Zhou Jiande still bravely and fearlessly set up a classic umbrella formation, covering the direction of the opponent's attack at a quarter of the speed of light.

In the tactical command of the flagships of the two sides, on the three-dimensional simulation of the situation, the huge cone formation of the Imperial Army is stabbing at the small umbrella formation of the Bundeswehr.

"What the hell is the enemy doing, even with such a small number of troops, he dares to put on a decisive posture!" The suspicious female marshal couldn't help but wonder: "Order the unmanned reconnaissance ship and the notification ship to strengthen reconnaissance and find out the other main forces of the enemy!" ”

"Imperial Marshal, shall we move on?" A staff officer asked worriedly.

"Maintain the speed and pull the ship away to 5,000 kilometers!" The marshal was calm.

The already huge conical formation of ships expanded even larger, stabbing straight at the opponent.

The long ten minutes were calmly consumed in the process of the two sides hedging in a straight line.

"One hundredth of the speed of light, free fire!" The Imperial Marshal ordered again.

The huge cone-shaped formation of the Imperial Army quickly slowed down, moved in unison, as if controlled by one person, and then calmly approached the weaker opponent.

The distance shrank to 300,000 kilometers, thousands of rays of light erupted from each other, the lonely and dark cosmic space was shattered, and violent and chaotic energy waves mixed with directional and kinetic energy weapons desperately swayed the warships of both sides.

"According to the plan, rush in, melee!"

Admiral Zhou Jiande's sonorous and powerful orders were transmitted throughout the entire Eighth Fleet through laser communications.

Bathed in the dazzling and deadly energy beams of the opponent, the 1,500 battleships and 600 cruisers painted with olive leaves surrounding the white pentagram suddenly accelerated, and they even abandoned the irregular spiral course and risked a straight line to attack the short distance of 300,000 kilometers and kill the Imperial warship array.

Field Marshal Budenbrock was caught off guard by the fact that the expected artillery battle quickly turned into a scuffle, which neutralized the overwhelming numerical and firepower superiority of the Imperial Army, but the enemy's next action surprised her even more, as the Bundeswehr ships rushed into the Imperial fleet and did not pass through, but turned in a clockwise direction and quickly released the Interstellar Marines.

The Wehrmacht warships were like dandelions in a storm, firing fiercely and throwing countless interstellar marines at the surrounding Imperial warships.

With the power of power armor, Bundeswehr interstellar marines deftly cut through the intertwined firepower of the two sides, flying thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers of space, landing on the surface of the high-speed Imperial warships, and blasting like an ant colony.

"Damn, with such a nasty handpicker!" Badenbrock was resentful.

Now, the situation of melee is inevitable, and if you lead the fleet to force an acceleration forward, you will be able to quickly get rid of the entanglement of your opponents, but at that time, with the classic "Klaus? The Imperial warships of the Liszt Firepower Specification were completely exposed to the powerful frontal fire of the Bundeswehr warships, which had gradually completed the turn, with their extremely fragile tail and difficult firepower.

Therefore, Field Marshal Badenbrock had to hasten the order: "Slow down, dispatch all the marines, take the ship!" ”

The ancient, bloody and brutal battle of the Japanese was once again staged in the Chinese New Year's Eve of the human era.

In a short time, in the vast combat airspace, death light was intertwined, battleships rolled, personnel scattered, desperate battles and painful casualties were stirred in the fury of energy waves, and in the dazzling but silent fierce battles.

Although the Imperial Army had a huge advantage in numbers, it was difficult to give full play to the numerical superiority for a while due to the fact that the opponent quickly entered and rushed into the ship formation, engaged in chaotic side-to-side battles and ultra-close-range artillery bombardment.

Of course, the fierce battle continued and turned into a war of attrition, and the scales of victory would inevitably tip in favor of the Imperial Army, with the New Rome Central Fleet concentrating on attacking the neighboring Perseus Federation warships in units of three to ten ships, and the Star Marines going all out to meet the opposing marines who boarded the ships, so that the superiority in strength gradually became apparent.

Badenbrock was well aware of the situation she was facing, but as the commander-in-chief of the Central Fleet, Badenbrock was bewildered by the fact that the enemy was at such a disadvantage and still desperately engaged in a melee.

Sure enough, the main force of the Immortal Interstellar Bundesmail fleet appeared, just after two o'clock, Eric? Feng? The Sixth and Ninth Fleets and the 10th ships of the National Guard, led by Admiral Bloomberg's five-star Admiral Bloomberg, as well as the Seventh Fleet, which had not yet been fully staffed, changed to the speed of light at a distance of 1 million to 2 million kilometers from the battlefield, and quickly joined the melee from three directions.
