Chapter 277: Battle of Betales - Disastrous Victory and Response

When the last of the Liberty Camp dreadnoughts was destroyed, the fleet of the Bertales Federation erupted in excited cheers.

For the first time in decades, they won a frontal battle against the Liberals.

Thinking back to the years when I was helpless by a few pirates, it was like a world away.

In the face of this situation, although Lao Qian also had a look of pride on his face, he was more worried in his heart.

This victory, that was also a pyrrhic victory.

This time, the Betales Federation sent the Second Mixed Fleet and the First Dreadnought Fleet to fight more with less, leaving behind the two Dreadnought fleets of the Free Camp, and even four of its regular fleets.

But the unit price is also extremely heavy.

At present, more than half of the losses of the second dreadnought fleet are made, and although the dreadnoughts of the second mixed fleet have not suffered much, the battle losses of the regular fleet are more than 80%!

The loss of the battleship is still a trifle, the point is the loss of the pilot, and this is the most important thing.

The population base of the Betales Federation, the war potential, is here, and the loss of every driver is irretrievable for them.

Therefore, as now, after the battle is over, the second mixed fleet can only retreat and recuperate, and send the third or fourth mixed fleet up, but cannot replenish the troops.

Because they don't have any reservists at all......

In the face of Frederick McGee's defeat, Michael Blake suddenly felt extremely happy.

"Made, Xin Yindian actually traded this thing to Betales, fortunately, Lao Tzu is cautious!"

He can't be cautious!

This time, it was Frederick McGee who thundered for them, and the various arrangements and territories of the Betales Federation were almost lifted, which was much easier for their next arrangement.

"Commander-in-chief, do you want us to sue Xin Yindian?"

A staff officer thought for a moment and said.

After all, this new Yindian is a member of their righteous order, and they are obedient to the leadership of the righteous order to come to the Betales Star Domain to resist the free camp, this new Yindian will give the Shadow Iron Cavalry carrier-based aircraft to the Betales Federation, isn't this an enemy?!

Moreover, even the current military fortresses and main warships of the Betales Federation are all the handiwork of Xin Yindian, and they can be known by any check, and they don't even have any demonstration with Xin Yindian.

And the dreadnoughts of the Betales Federation, whose defense is a little too strong, although they have not seen it before, it definitely has something to do with New Yindian!

Otherwise, a civilization that couldn't even deal with a few pirates half a year ago has become a force that is still comfortable fighting on two fronts in less than half a year, and the opponent is still their two camps, if it has nothing to do with Xin Yindian, who would dare to believe it?

"Report! Must be reported! Michael Blake immediately said, "Immediately report this matter to the Court of Justice and Order, and demand that New Yin Dian immediately cease all support to the Betalles Federation." ”

Although he knew that this approach was probably useless, as long as he could make Xin Yindian unable to come openly, he could reduce his support, so that his pressure would not be so great.

Otherwise, this new Yin Dian will continue to sell the [Shadow Iron Knight] to the Betales Federation, then I don't know how many dreadnoughts they will have to damage in the hands of this thing.

Thinking of something, Michael Blake stopped the staff officer who was about to leave, and added.

"Report to the High Command again, and say that I suspect that New Yindian has also traded the supercarrier to the Betales Federation, and ask the headquarters to send someone to New Yindian to investigate."

Seriously, although he knew that this possibility was very small, but in the face of this series of things from the Betales Federation, he didn't dare to bet that this new Yin Dian would be so frustrated.

Besides, as long as the headquarters sends people to delay the New Yindian's actions against the Betales Federation, it is also very good, after all, this New Yindian is also bordering the Betales Federation, and it is completely possible to rob this ancient ruin without talking about martial virtues, and they have no choice.

And that's what Michael Blake is most worried about.

The staff officer also immediately understood, and immediately received the order.

"Yes!"

When the staff officer left, the conference room was lively again.

"Commander-in-chief, judging from the battle of the Glare Fortress, this mixed fleet of the Betales Federation is really difficult to deal with, the regular main fleet is given for nothing, and the dreadnought fleet is easy to be attacked from three sides by the mixed fleet, the dreadnought, and the Shadow Iron Cavalry in the fortress.

The whole fortress is like an iron pass, and it's not easy to deal with! ”

A captain watched the battle of the Glare Fortress and analyzed the Betales Federation, frowning.

I have to say that Lao Qian's practice of mixing the fleet is really high.

Especially now that the Betales Federation is in a defensive posture and will not take the initiative at all, in the face of this situation, this makes them feel a little at a loss.

In response, Michael Blake smiled with confidence.

"Don't worry about this, I already have a countermeasure."

Everyone was a little surprised.

"Oh, what is the commander-in-chief's countermeasure?"

"You'll know when things arrive in a while."

Michael Blake shook his head with a smile and played a dumb riddle.

Then, without waiting for others to ask any more questions, Michael Blake continued: "The main task at present is no longer to break through the fortress, but to try to consume the living forces of the Betales Federation as much as possible. ”

After the battle at the Glare Fortress, he didn't expect to be able to break through the fortress quickly in the face of the Shadow Knight, and he didn't believe that Frederick McGee would be able to break through the defense with his current strength, so he wouldn't have a decisive large-scale attack until the things he applied for up arrived.

"But if the people of the Betales Federation stay within the defensive range of the fortress to avoid the battle, there is nothing we can do!"

One of the captains touched his bare head and couldn't help but say.

This Betales Federation is not stupid, and since the beginning of the war, it has always stayed within the defensive range of military fortresses, and will not take the initiative to engage in war at all.

And if they take the initiative, the fiasco of the Liberty camp just now will be their end.

Michael Blake smiled.

"I've ordered people to modify the equipment of several fleets' Exorcist-class heavy assault ships, and their attack range has now been increased by nearly ten times, and we can attack outside the attack range of the military fortress."

"But wouldn't this make the Exorcist-level attack and defense power drop to the extreme?"

Some people were surprised.

You must know that although there is equipment that can increase the attack range, it will occupy the original equipment position, which will greatly reduce the defense of the battleship, and even the attack strength will be greatly reduced.

If you go into battle officially, it's a bit more than worth the loss!

"Don't worry, the goal of these specially modified fleets is not the main battle, but to consume the opponent's living force from a distance, and if the opponent wants to fight in close combat, just retreat directly."

In game terms, Michael Blake's trick is called: Firepower Prostitution!

------Off topic------

emmm, something happened, let me finish it first, there's another chapter later.

I beg your forgiveness, autumn pear cream!
