The same surprised expression also appeared on the faces of everyone who was watching the battle situation in the acting command center, except for a few generals from the Silver Eagle Republic such as Halsey, everyone including Old Buck was confused by the next move of the Chuck Federation's thunder punishment fleet.

Dozens of red dots representing the Thunder Punishment Fleet on the big screen flew away like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers after Lu Zifeng issued the order, and then quickly formed three slightly smaller formations. Two of them, all composed of secondary fleets, formed a spindle-shaped formation in the air, flying towards the planned path, just when everyone was surprised why there was no capital ship to lead the team, they found that the capital ships were lined up like a tidal tide heading towards the largest thunderstorm cloud, and the speed fed back from the map, they were obviously preparing to rush directly into the thunderstorm cloud.

"Are they crazy?"

It was not the generals who raised the question, but an official of Mirama and the government of the Weihan region who had come with Old Buck, and although his question was a little abrupt, it also spoke the hearts of the people, and this sentence exploded the calm water like a big stone thrown into the pool, and everyone on and off the stage began to talk about it.

"Isn't the Chuck Federation's capital ship worried about damage from thunderstorms?"

This alone could explain why the Chuck Federation's capital ships dared to act in this way, but most people did not dare to say it. And Old Buck was now horrified, knowing that the process of this exercise was completed under his instructions, he was very confident in this celestial phenomenon, because their latest Raider class, even if it used Cleveland armor technology, was not capable of flying in such celestial conditions, and before purchasing this technology, the Cleveland people repeatedly assured them that this armor technology was ahead in defense.

However, what the Cleveland people would not tell him was that in addition to armor technology, they had other ways to resist the infestation of thunderstorms, and this technology had been used in the eighth generation of airships.

So in such a situation, Old Buck was sure that it was a winning gamble for him to put the Raider airship in the foreground this time, but he forgot that since it was a gamble, there was also a risk of failure, at least what he was facing at the moment, but the price he needed to pay after failure was big and small.

Either way, the whole venue was completely chaotic, and everyone began to talk about the capabilities of Chuck Federation's new airship.

Probably annoyed by the noisy scene, Halsey knocked on the table, and because of the spiritual power mixed in, he immediately overwhelmed the sound of discussion in the audience.

"Now that everyone has noticed the trajectory of the capital ship of the Thunder Punishment Fleet, then I will explain to you that the Twilight class and the Dusk reclassification of the Chuck Federation can be safely driven under such celestial conditions, and the same way that our country's Vikramaditya class and the latest Pisces class can also achieve this effect, in the Firmament World, the airships with this ability also include the airships of the Astor Empire and the Principality of Cleveland, although these are not secrets, but the countries with this ability will not make a big deal of it to the outside world. So you don't need to make a fuss, it's just that if you encounter the airship after the eighth generation of the Holy Alliance on the battlefield in the future, then be careful, of course, this kind of celestial phenomenon is not everywhere, everyone can be careful. ”

His explanation did not calm down the people below, but made everyone even more excited, because most of their current equipment is the seventh or even sixth generation airships, although it is enough at this time, but there is still a willingness to improve the level of equipment in their own country. After the Silver Eagle Republic and the Chuck Federation reached a large military purchase order, they were a little nervous, even if they didn't buy the latest Dusk upgrade, they were quite interested in the eighth generation of the Dusk level, but the Chuck Federation's offer was indeed not cheap, causing these countries to have a wait-and-see mentality.

And at this time, Miramar and the Uyghandis appeared as a spoiler, they promoted the emergence of this exercise in order to open up sales for their airships, and only on paper, a lot of the data of the Raider class is not inferior to the Dusk reclassification (of course, they compare the Chack Federation with a more first-grade simplified version than provided to the Silver Eagles), so that these countries that are very unfamiliar with and looking forward to the airship technology that has developed to the ninth generation have a new choice, to be honest, they are also a little happy to see this act by Miramar and the Uyghandi, which can be said to be equivalent to a free airship show。

But looking at the surprised expressions of Old Buck and the others on the stage, and then thinking of the troops under Richardson's command are only distributed around the thunderstorm clouds, it is obvious that the Raider class they have high hopes for has been completely blown up by the Chuck Federation's airship at least in terms of seaworthiness, and it is even worse than the Federation's eighth-generation airship, which makes the image of the Raider class in their minds deduct a few points again.

"What's the matter, what are you going to eat? You haven't gotten such important information, and if Richardson's fleet fails for this reason, you'll wait to apologize for your crimes." ”

Old Buck stared viciously at an attaché behind him and said, this person is the head of the intelligence agency under Mirama and the Weihan government, at this time he is also sweating profusely staring at the screen, as one of the people behind the background of this exercise, he knows how much manpower and material resources the Buck family has invested in the raiders, if it is really because of this intelligence that the airship is unsalable, he must be greeted by the anger of this family that has almost controlled 70% of the political resources and nearly two-fifths of the economic resources of Miramar and Weihan。

Old Buck glared at him again before he sat back down, and when he turned his face to the crowd again, the angry expression he had gone.

"Your country and the Chuck Federation are the mainstay of the glory of freedom, and it seems that we still have a lot to learn in this regard, but I still believe that our Sky Slaying Fleet can win the final victory. ”

At this time, Buck said this like an open-minded old man, although these words made everyone in the audience a little scoffed, thinking that he was holding up the scene, but no one said anything, after all, the victory or defeat on the battlefield depends on the real battle later.

At this time, the Richardson fleet, as the defending side, had completed its deployment and was quietly suspended on the preset position, waiting for the Chuck Federation fleet to throw itself into the net.

Everyone's attention had already shifted from them to the Thunder Punishment Fleet, and as the images sent by the observation airship sent by the exercise command were displayed on the screen, everyone began to stare intently at the formation of the two secondary airships.

It's not that they don't want to see the images of the capital ships of Lu Zifeng's fleet, it's that these observation airships can't follow them into the thunderstorm clouds at all.

Under the leadership of the Jiang Kui and the Khan, they have successfully entered the fifth and eighth passages, driving along the edge of the thunderstorm cloud shrouded area, although they also have the ability to travel in the thunderstorm cloud, but in the next operation they will use another equipment, a simplified version of the mirage system.

As the eleven main airships including the Lava burrowed into the thunderstorm clouds, seven or eight long metal poles stretched out from the airship's body, which were distributed in all directions of the airship like hedgehog spikes.

Before the electricity was proposed by Ye Wenqin, although the Dusk class as the eighth generation airship also had the ability to prevent thunderstorms, it was carried out through a combination of special enchantments and armor, which is also the technology currently used by several other countries in the ninth generation, but the current Dusk upgrade and the Dusk class use the latest technology of the Chuck Federation, these metal long rods play a role in the drainage of thunderstorms, introducing thunderstorms containing strong energy into the binding devices in the ship, and then through the corresponding energy conversion, it is used as one of the power sources of the airship。

Therefore, unlike other countries' airships, which are running at full power at this time, these Dusk and Dusk flight systems have reduced the power occupied by the power furnace to 20% of the normal, and the remaining energy demand is provided by the thunderstorms that constantly hit the long pole.

This also allows the other systems on the two-stage airship to get more abundant power distribution, and the energy that comes out can be temporarily stored and emitted through these metal long rods in the form of a megavolt super current in battle. It's just that it's not very clear whether the thunder punishment fleet will use this trick this time. It can be said that the dangerous place set up by Mirama and Wei Han can even be regarded as a kind of help for the entire Thunder Punishment Fleet, I don't know if Old Buck is thinking that they are lifting a stone and shooting themselves in the foot.

At present, this system is still the secret weapon of the Chuck Federation, and the ships of the same class sold to the Silver Eagle Republic are still equipped with the previous purely defensive protection system. So even Halsey, who was very familiar with the Twilight reclass, didn't know that there was such powerful equipment on the Federation's own airship. At present, the two institutes of the Federation are even studying whether it is possible to artificially create a weakened version of the thunderstorm cloud, so that the existing equipment is simply a tiger with the wings of the Federal Air Force.

When the eleven main airships rushed into the thunderstorm cloud, their signal disappeared from the screen, which made the people in command of the exercise believe Halsey's words before, and most of them were very excited, feeling that this trip was worth it anyway, only Miramar and the people of Weihandi began to curse the thunderstorm fleet in their hearts, wishing they would be destroyed by the thunderstorm there immediately. It's just that they already know in their hearts that this exercise is dangerous, but there is still a glimmer of hope supporting them, that is, the new technology purchased from Cleveland, which is also one of the few life-saving straws in their hands, and now they finally find that they are still too far behind in the field of airships today, even if their weapon systems have reached a considerable level, but how far will they be from these leading countries in practical applications? Old Buck and the others were horrified to find that their confidence in the Raider class had been shattered by the actions of the Federation airship.

It's just that with this bit of self-confidence, the Thunder Punishment Fleet doesn't want them to stay, and when the formation of secondary ships reaches the middle of the forward path, a killer weapon of the Federation appears in front of everyone.
