Chapter 436: Reason
Faced with the unfavorable situation, Chu Jungui only said: "Sit tight." ”
Li Ruobai sighed, grabbed the handle with both hands, and turned on the fixed mode of the battle armor. The super maneuver just now made him suffer enough, and he didn't spit it out just because the last maneuver pressed all the stomach contents back and compressed it twice.
Kaitian was not easy to open, his face was half scattered, and Venus was floating in his vertical pupils. Even if it is born strong, after all, it has no musculoskeletal and other support structures, and it is almost thrown away by an overload of more than 30 G.
As soon as the sound of sitting still, the two guys were nervous together, and Kaitian condensed into three chains, firmly fixing their faces.
Under Chu Jungui's control, the starship turned sharply and flew to the side of a space missile that had lost its target and was slowly swimming, and then launched a signal that directly detonated the missile!
The terrifying shock wave instantly dented the shell of the Sausage's hull a little, but it also pushed the hull to accelerate instantly, flying towards the next target. That's also a loitering space missile.
In this way, several missiles exploded at close range, shaking the Sausage almost apart, but also allowing it to regain momentum. Chu Jungui's starship was fully powered, rushing out of the encirclement of the two destroyers like a meteor, going up to a high orbit, and then maneuvering, the speed decreased sharply, the belly hatch opened, and it buckled towards the drifting life-saving capsule.
The rescue pod entered the ship, was automatically fixed to the bilge, and then the hatch slowly closed.
Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, Chu Jungui glanced at the destroyer that was still fighting in the distance, and then turned around and rushed straight towards Planet 4.
In the distance, dozens of screens floated in front of Lin Xi, including the status of the starship, the battle screen, and the locked enemy ship information. It's just that in an inconspicuous corner, there is a battle scene of the Sausage. Watching the Sausage speed up towards Planet 4 under the heavy interceptive fire of the two destroyers, she ordered: "Launch all the bombs and withdraw from the battle." ”
Her orders turned into action in an instant, the hull of the ship kept vibrating, and space missiles and torpedoes slid out of the bomb bay and swooped down on the surrounding opponents like swarms. Although the Federation starships have an absolute advantage, they are not willing to be hit by a heavy torpedo and evade them one after another.
The starship took this opportunity to take three shots of the main gun with its shield and hull structure, and finally broke out of the battle circle.
Lin Xi turned his head, glanced at Planet 4 that was going away, turned around casually, and said, "Report the battle damage." ”
"The damage to the whole ship was 21%, and the damage to important parts included the energy cabin, medical cabin and rescue cabin. In addition, we have lost all our warplanes and missiles, and according to the current situation of the mobile base, we can only replenish 80%. In this battle, our side hit the enemy ships 16 times, hit the main guns three times, and dealt blows to a number of enemy ships, and the most damaged enemy ships were assessed to be ...... 4%。 ”
At this point in the report, the intelligence officer quietly glanced at Lin Xi before saying, "Without considering the overall strategic significance of this operation, the current assessment of military merit is -478. After this operation, our military merits have fallen short of the minimum military merit standards set by the regulations, and we need to make up for them within half a year. ”
Lin Xi said calmly: "I know." ”
The intelligence army couldn't help but remind, "Lieutenant Colonel, let me say one more thing, this galaxy has been removed from the key area of the theater of operations. ”
The implication of his remark is obvious: there is no strategic bonus to operating here.
Lin Xi's face didn't see any fluctuations, he just said, "Withdraw from the combat zone, and then return to the base." ”
The intelligence officer sighed and walked away quickly. When leaving, his movements appeared a little bigger.
The bruised destroyer flew out of the galaxy, leaping into a wormhole in outer space, and then out from the other end. On the star map of the bridge appeared a signal to move the base. After issuing a request for mooring, repair and replenishment of ammunition, the destroyer received a guidance signal and moored to a mobile base.
A moment later, Lin Xi appeared in the lieutenant general's office.
The lieutenant general had obviously lost weight, his eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had had a good night's sleep. He looked at the battle report in his hand, his eyebrows furrowed.
Seeing Lin Xi come in, he raised his head and asked, "Why did you go to that galaxy?"
Lin Xi stood up straight and said, "In order to mobilize and combat the federal mobile forces. ”
Lu Qiyun snorted heavily, threw the report on the table, and said, "Very perfect answer, if I am still an instructor of Zhige Academy, I will give you full marks." It's a pity that I'm no longer an instructor, and you're no longer a student, but a lieutenant colonel commanding a cutting-edge starship. As a front-line commander, you naturally have the right to start fighting according to the situation, but you also have to take responsibility accordingly. Look at your battle report, in the past week, you alone have accounted for one-third of the ammunition that needs to be replenished in the entire base! What time is it now, the supplies we grabbed from the Xu family have been almost exhausted, and we don't know when the next batch of supplies will arrive!"
Perhaps realizing that his attitude was not very good, the vice admiral slowed down his tone a little and asked, "Single-handedly picking on a hunting fleet and retreating with all its might, this record is impeccable." But can you tell me why this battle is being fought?"
Lin Xi pondered his words for a moment and said, "It is a decision in the war zone to move the N7703 galaxy out of the important domain, but I think that N7703 is very important and cannot be given up. ”
"Why can't we give up, I'm afraid we all know the real reason. The lieutenant general sighed, called up another report, and put it in front of Lin Xi: "The reason why you can't give up is on this, right?"
It was a report on the trade in supplies, summarizing the contents of the trade from Planet 4. Not only the deal of the Ninth Fleet, but also the deal of the Sky Fleet.
The lieutenant general said: "There have been four transactions, and a total of more than 10 tons of crystalline metal hydrogen have been obtained. This is indeed the material we urgently need now, but it is only used as raw materials for secondary artillery ammunition. It seems that they are doing well on the planet, and should have established a small base. But how much is such a base worth? We have now built three planetary material bases, each of which produces more than ten times as much as this base. ”
Lin Xi was silent, his hands clenched quietly.
The lieutenant general looked at her, took the report back, and let out another long sigh, saying, "We all understand why." But in my opinion, the life of the soldier of the fleet is also life, and the life of that person is also life. If he wants to evacuate, then we can help as much as we can. But like now, I don't think it's appropriate to consume huge supplies and sacrifice so many lives just so that he can gain a foothold on that planet. ”
After a pause, Lieutenant General Fang said: "What's more, he won't be able to hold on for long." ”
