Risen felt like he was going crazy, not only the people who had come up with the plan, but he found himself going crazy with them.

In his opinion, the Firefox plan he formulated was bold enough, and it demanded that the rebels, who had always been small fights and known for guerrilla warfare, should assemble and confront the regular starfleet of the Empire. According to intelligence, the Empire's dispatch fleet patrolling around the TAU-7 space station currently has ten ships of various types, including a Führer-class fast battleship, two cruisers and other destroyers, escort ships and auxiliary ships, and these ships alone carry nearly two wings of starfighters, and what is even more terrifying is that there is also a large imperial military base near the TAU-7 space station, and at least one space carrier has been using this as its home port for a long time, Starfighters taking off from the base can reach TAU-7 in less than two hours. In other words, they must complete a series of steps within two hours, such as defeating the Empire's fleet and sending a fleet, capturing the space station, completing data collection, downloading, seizing the prototype, and evacuating, otherwise, they will be completely destroyed.

"And how many fleets and warplanes can we muster to complete this operation?" Risen asked, in his opinion, it would not be impossible to assemble a powerful fleet of overwhelming size.

"Two fast battleships, one cruiser and six destroyers, a total of about ninety warplanes." That's how General Martin replied to him.

Hearing the general's answer, Risson's legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground because he couldn't hold his body, what can they do with this little force, and expect to defeat the empire of the space station in a short period of time? Risen felt that it was unlikely that the Imperial fleet would be cleaned up within two hours, although on paper, the composition of the Rebels' fleet was better than that of the Space Station's Imperial Fleet, but the Empire had long been accustomed to regular fleet warfare, and the personnel were well-trained and cooperative, and when it came to real confrontation, it was not necessarily much worse than the temporary combination of the Rabble of the Resistance. Risen shook his head, no, it was a suicide attempt, an impossible mission.

"General, are we going to rely on these forces to accomplish this plan? With all due respect, that's impossible, I'm afraid we won't even be able to defeat the Imperial fleet of the space station. He struggled to hold back a sentence.

"That's right, Lieutenant, but this is the maximum number of troops we can muster in a short period of time, and the rebel fleet is too scattered to gather so many troops in a short period of time. You're right, this fleet may not even be able to defeat the Imperial Fleet of the space station, but, Lieutenant, we don't need to defeat it, we don't have the goal of defeating the Imperial fleet, all we want is data and a prototype, and our planners design the details of the plan according to our goals. For the sake of secrecy, we can't tell you the exact details of this operation at this time, you just need to be prepared, and we will explain it to all those involved in this operation before the operation begins. Clear? ”

"Yes, General, then, what shall I do now?" Ruissen nodded reluctantly, there was no way, he was just a pilot who carried out the orders of his superiors, and it was not his turn to give orders.

"Your task now is to familiarize yourself with and understand the cockpit layout, structure, and operation methods of the Lightning Starfighter with the other three pilots participating in the operation, and listen to the researchers' introduction to her related performance, firepower configuration, engine, shield, etc. Lieutenant, you don't have much time, believe me, if you want to survive the operation, memorize the texts, manuals, and explanatory materials, etc., and they are the only way you can learn about the Lightning before you step into the cockpit of the Lightning, and you will use them. General Martin admonished meaningfully.

Risen was stunned for a moment, "General, are you saying that we rely on these words and words to prepare for the flight?" ”

"That's right, young man, you're right, I'm sorry, our simulator hasn't been produced yet, and we don't have a real Lightning fighter for you to visit, so you pilots who have a deep understanding of fighters and have superb flying skills need to be prepared, and you are the only ones who can help you."

"Yes, General." Risen had a bitter face, it was too bad, if it was just a simple flight, it might not matter, but if they were going to seize the prototype of the Empire's Lightning fighter, it meant that they could participate in the battle for the first time in the cockpit of the fighter. Knowing the other side and being invincible, Risen doesn't think that just reading some words and listening to some introductions, even if he has reached the 'know-it', this is a starfighter, and if he doesn't actually fly once, he will never be able to talk about 'knowing', which is really a big problem for TMD.

"Hi man, what's wrong with you? Listening to your voice, it seems that I am a little unhappy. His friend Schneier didn't look back to know who was coming, standing on a platform and looking boredly at the area below.

Of course not happy, idiot. Risen cursed in his heart, who can be happy when he encounters that kind of action? If you're not careful, maybe you'll be whining this time.

"What are you looking at?" He did not answer his friend's questions, the operation was still to be kept secret, and the general had warned him not to mention it to anyone unrelated.

"Watching your little girl." Schneier didn't care, he didn't put his mind on it in the first place.

"What? My little girl? ”

"Well," his friend Nunu said, gesturing, "it looks like they've got a bunch of little babysitters for her." Hey, friend, I think it's really right to join the Resistance, you see, there are so many beautiful girls, and besides, they don't seem to be very old, and they look like they are fighter pilots by the logo on their flight suits. Oh my God, this is the first time I've seen a female fighter pilot. ”

Ruisen looked at it curiously, and couldn't help crying and laughing, isn't that Yunyun? When did she become my little girl again? There were also four or five young girls in orange-red combat flight suits around the little girl, and they took turns snatching Yun Yun over and hugging her, chattering non-stop, looking quite lively and excited. Although it's too far away to hear what to say, the topic is undoubtedly about Yunyun, and it seems that Yunyun's cuteness is quite lethal to both men and women.

"You don't talk nonsense, what is my little girl, hum, when it comes to female pilots, someone hasn't forgotten who he planted his first time in, right?"

"The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, I will settle the account with them sooner or later, and I don't need you to remind them from time to time." Although the scar was revealed, it was indeed a fact, and the helpless Schneier had to vent stupidly.

"Very well, I'm waiting to see the final result, and I don't know who will be taught a lesson."

"Damn, you're in a bad mood and want to have fun with me, what about the first time you planted it for those women? Isn't your first time in the future for a woman? Could it be that it is for men? Could it be that you have some abnormal tendencies? His friend said shamelessly.

"You ......" Risen was speechless.

"Innocent little boy." His friend, apparently not wanting to let him go so soon, added another sentence.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. How are you now? How do they arrange yours? Risen thought it was better to be sensible and stop discussing it with his friends, as the hell would know what else he could say.

"Fortunately, I was promoted, and I was sent to the fast battleship Liberty and made me a squadron leader of a Banshee starfighter."

"It's good, it's much better than me." Risen was genuinely happy for his friend.

"Not bad, I was very happy, but when I asked to meet my pilots, I realized that I was a shell captain with no soldiers. They told me that seven new pilots would report to me tomorrow, and that there were only five Banshee fighters, a whole half-baked squadron. The most infuriating thing is that they also told me that in a few days my new squadron will set off on a dangerous and important mission, and I must integrate and train these rookies in these few days, and send them to the battlefield, MLGBD, isn't it difficult for strongmen? His friend grumbled and asked, "What about you?" I don't think you're in a very high mood, are they also giving you some problems? ”

"There are some problems." Risen said sullenly, "It's worse than you anyway, but I can't say it's confidential." ”

"Confidential?" His friends were silent, having served in the Imperial Army for a long time, and they knew that they should not inquire about what they should not know.

Risen patted his friend on the shoulder, "But I can reveal a little, I will also set off with you on a mission in a few days, man, you still have to spend a little more time thinking about how to train those rookies decently, I can guarantee the ticket, this operation is definitely a dangerous journey." ”

"Why don't you help me?"

"Me? Forget it, I'm not too busy myself. I won't tell you, I have to prepare, and the time is really not enough. Risen staggered away from his grimacing friend, who still had a lot of papers and instructions to memorize.

........

In a small special cabin on the space station, Risen carefully opened the document and read it carefully, word by word.

The development of the lightning starfighter has actually been carried out before the war with the Earth Federation, when the development of this fighter was not out of the requirements of the Empire, but the development of the company aimed at the development trend of the future starfighter and invested its own funds to develop independently, the internal code name of the company is XFC-4. For this reason, its development did not progress quickly, and even after the outbreak of the war, the Empire did not think that it needed a new fighter, and the military believed that with the Empire's strong force, having a Banshee fighter would be enough to crush the Federation.

The turning point was the Battle of Arcturus 7, where the Empire suffered a crushing defeat, and the military began to rush to find all new weapons that could reverse the decline, and it was at this time that the Lightning Fighter entered the eyes of the Empire. After hearing that there was a fighter that had been secretly developed for many years, the empire was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the company to speed up the progress and provide sufficient financial and technical support, so the prototype of this fighter was built half a year later, and began to carry out intense and secret testing and improvement.

When it comes to its performance, the more Ressen reads it, the more amazed it becomes, and it is indeed far superior to the Banshee fighter. The fighter's main power system is equipped with a new ionized energy reactor, which has nearly three times the energy output of the old Banshee fighter, and the large reactor makes it much larger and heavier than the Banshee fighter. In order not to affect its maneuverability, it is equipped with twice as many ion propulsion engines as the Banshee, reaching four, which are mounted in the rear of the fighter fuselage in a tic-tac-toe shape, and the strong thrust makes it not weaker than the Banshee fighter even if the fighter is equipped with a quantum torpedo, and because it can provide enough energy to provide it, it is even equipped with a space jump engine.

In terms of armament and shield, there are three four-slot bomb points under the wide fuselage, all of which are twice as large as the Banshee fighter when carrying image recognition missiles or heat-seeking missiles, and of course, it can also be mixed with quantum torpedoes, which does not have much impact on maneuverability. Its shield strength is also close to twice that of the banshee, as for the cannon firepower, the fighter is equipped with two ion cannons and four phase array laser cannons, the latter is a modification of the ordinary laser cannon, the firing power increases while the energy consumption can remain the same, in addition, there is also a synchronous particle cannon above the back of the aircraft, it is powerful, high destructive power, but the launch speed is slow, there is basically no continuous fire, and the energy output is high, which is obviously not suitable for dealing with mobile and flexible fighters, but it is a terrible killer for warships.

Maybe I shouldn't compare it to the Banshee at all, Resson closed the file and pondered slowly, because the Banshee is a light fighter, while the Lightning is a typical heavy fighter, and the two are not comparable at all.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, the door slammed open, and several people walked in, led by Captain Ralph. Behind him, Risson's eyes lit up, and there was a female officer with coffee-colored shoulder-length hair, the orange-red flight combat uniform could not completely hide her towering and proud breasts and devilish figure, under the faint eyebrows, there were two purple smart eyes, the corners of the mouth were slightly upturned, full of endless temptation, people couldn't help but want to kiss it, at least Ryson admitted that he had this urge and thought.

Her smooth skin is white and delicate, bright and moving, and she should not be very old, but her face has a maturity, calmness and stability that is not similar to her age, which makes her even more attractive.

"Lieutenant, let me introduce you." Captain Ralph didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point, "This is Risson. Lieutenant Nigaul, our last pick. Lieutenant, these three are the pilots who will carry out Operation Firefox with you, this is Lieutenant Colonel Taylor, the head of the operation, and Lieutenant Hawke is his partner and serves as his wingman. ”

"And you're partnered with this one, Sonia. Major Yang, you will be her wingman, get to know her. ”
