Shocked by the presence of the Imperial fleet on this vital route for the Alliance, the Alliance's top brass was quickly sealed down, and at the request of the Alliance's supreme leader, Lady Elmeda, the staff officers simulated and deduced several scenarios that might arise in the future to determine how harmful this discovery would be to the Alliance, and how bad things could be. --Fengwu Literature Network--

Fortunately, after detailed investigation and analysis, people found that things may not be as bad as previously thought, the worst-case scenario is that the empire completely cuts off the connection between the Federation and the Alliance, and the Earth Federation's assistance to the Resistance Alliance will be truly cut off, and the Alliance is basically unlikely to receive assistance from the Earth Federation in terms of personnel, technology, materials and intelligence, but does this really have a big impact on the Resistance Alliance?

From the personnel point of view, although the hope of technical personnel and combat personnel who may be imported from the Federation may be dashed, but the alliance is not unable to find people, and now in the empire alone, there are more and more people who ask to join the Resistance Alliance, and there are many scientific and technological experts, technicians, and soldiers among these personnel - including the pilots of the starfighters, although it cannot completely fill the gap in the number of pilots of the starfighters, but the temporary emergency supplement is enough, and in the future, the alliance can open more flight schools, Train more pilots to solve this problem, as long as they are given enough time.

From a technical point of view, thanks to the foresight of the League's top leaders led by Lady Elmeda, the most important technologies in the past few years, such as ship ion engines, sensor technology, and various precision production processes, have basically been acquired by the Alliance from the Federation or through personnel within the Empire. Today, the Alliance has its own shipyard and production line of fighter aircraft. Although the scale is not comparable to that of the Empire or the Earth Federation, it has been able to produce all kinds of military equipment for different purposes, from small fighter jets to large cruisers and even fast space carriers, and the researchers of the Alliance have even invented a special weapon according to their own needs, which has not yet been found in the Empire, and it can be said that the technology they have mastered is enough to meet their needs for the time being.

In terms of materials, in fact, since the Commonwealth signed the armistice agreement with the Empire, the Alliance has basically not received much supplies from the Federation. The main transport is some urgently needed technical equipment or medicines, bulk materials, grain, large machinery, minerals, raw materials and so on. All relied on the Alliance's own self-reliance, or obtained from possible supporters within the Empire, such as the grain negotiations between Christopher, the administrator of Resson who had previously escorted Lady Elmeida on the planet Yurumbardy. In view of the fact that the forces that are secretly inclined to the Resistance Alliance, there are more and more planetary governments, and those sensitive technological equipment or medicines that they have purchased from the Federation can also be obtained from within the Empire through various means, but it may be more troublesome. --Phoenix-Dance-Literature-Learning-Net--

Finally, when it comes to intelligence, it's even less worth mentioning. In the exchange of intelligence between the Resistance League and the Federation, the Federation needs the Alliance more than the Alliance needs the Federation. Due to the tense military standoff and blockade in the border system, it will be very difficult for the Federation to obtain intelligence within the Empire. Even if it is obtained, it is difficult to send the information back through the blockade of the empire, in the past, it was through the alliance to obtain relevant information within the empire, and then report it to the federation, an ally, so this route, from the intelligence level, has a much greater effect on the federation than the alliance, and the loss of this route does not have a big impact on the alliance, but it is quite a headache for the federation.

In addition, there is another important point for the Resistance Alliance, which they should be thankful for, because they have done a really good job of secrecy before. Most of the middle and lower-ranking officers and soldiers of the Resistance League, who did not know that the League was in fact still in close contact with the Federation after the armistice, and still received assistance from the Federation, and they thought from the beginning that they were fighting on their own, so how much did it matter to them whether this route was cut off or not? The leakage of instant information should not have too much psychological and morale impact on the officers and men of the alliance......

In the end, through simulation and deduction, the top management of the alliance came to a bold conclusion: even if the worst happens, the alliance can no longer get assistance and support from the Federation, and the sky will not fall, although there will definitely be more or less difficulties and troubles, but the resistance alliance is no longer the dispensable weak role of a few years ago, with the current development momentum and strength of the alliance, they can completely support themselves until the ultimate goal of the alliance is achieved.

To use a common saying, that is, the rebel alliance has grown up, its wings are stiff, and it can spread its wings in the blue sky......

This is the first time that Risen knew this conclusion and the first head that appeared in his mind, it was strange to say, he himself felt a little incredible, when he first met the rebel alliance, the impression of the rebel alliance was still quite weak, at that time the rebel alliance was still in the stage of accumulating strength, but I didn't expect that from the beginning of the Firefox operation, several big battles were fought, and the momentum of the alliance actually became bigger and bigger, and there was a blowout development.

Such a situation can be said to be both normal and abnormal, and it is normal to say that it is normal because after so many years of accumulation of strength, the rebel alliance has finally passed the most difficult stage of the initial difficulties, and has broken the blockade and encirclement of the empire, and it is indeed time to usher in a period of great development. To say that it is not normal, it is because it is developing too fast.

Risen knew the key to this, for a long time, under the suppression and attack of the Imperial Security Service, there has been no resistance force within the empire that is sufficient to resist the imperial authorities, and the opposition forces of the empire have long been scattered, confused, and independent, and even since the beginning of the rebellion alliance established by Lady Almeda, it has been the case; This situation was not until the Empire and the Federation went to war, and the Imperial Security Service had no time to take care of it, which brought a rare opportunity for the Alliance, and with the strong assistance of the Federation, the Resistance League took advantage of this valuable respite and development opportunity, and it was not until Operation Firefox that the Empire woke up from a dream, but it was too late, and the Resistance Alliance was just beginning to take shape. Through several major battles, the blockade and encirclement of the empire were broken. Inflicting a heavy blow on the emperor and establishing the core position of the alliance in all the resistance forces, in this way, the people who oppose the empire are attracted to the alliance like a sponge absorbing water, and the forces dissatisfied with the rule of the empire are also openly and secretly cooperating with the alliance, and it is no wonder that the strength of the alliance does not skyrocket.

Risen suddenly remembered the old man, the director of the National Security Agency, Giraud. Admiral Steve, these changes all happened during his tenure. The United States completely disintegrated the alliance in the first place, and this old guy must regret it now.

On the USS Fortress, an Imperial space carrier, in a distant star field. Giraud. Admiral Steve inexplicably sneezed several times in a row. This calmed his angry brain for the time being, and he barely resisted the urge to tear to shreds the report of the recent activities of the rebels in front of him, this group of rebels was so arrogant that after a three-month period of calm and recuperation, the rebel Seventh Fleet had once again launched a series of aggressive offensives, and many logistical supply ships were destroyed. A large number of military supplies were looted, and several small fleets unfortunately fell victim to the rebels. The large Imperial fleet, which was able to deal with the rebels, was unable to keep up with the rebels' highly mobile and flexible fleet. The rebels can always jump and flee before the arrival of the Imperial fleet, and this battle is really too passive, and it is like being led by the nose......

He sighed, since the loss of the Fifth Fleet, the consequences of the lack of mobile forces have begun to manifest, the rebel forces and the Imperial forces are now at the same time, the newly formed and trained armies are not so quick to fill the vacancies, and the Empire cannot draw too many troops from the front line of confrontation with the Federation, the forces of some border systems have been reduced to a dangerous level, and then the front line forces are transferred, in case the Federation suddenly attacks, it will be terrible.

"Ma'am." Risson stood upright in Lady Almeda's office and saluted, the top leader of the League watching him from behind her desk, Captain Aristide standing to the side, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Major, welcome back." She gracefully made a gesture, "Please take a seat." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Risen sat down respectfully, and he asked, "Madam, you are looking for me this time, I don't know ......"

"Major, Captain Aristide has read the report on this encounter with the emperor, and the high command has also deduced the development of the situation, and you know the conclusion, but this is only a conclusion made from the strategic level, and the impact at the tactical level is not involved, and in some cases, the results at the tactical level can also have a great impact on the strategic level." Mrs. Elmeida spoke eloquently.

"For example, the Imperial fleet we encountered this time, we still don't know anything about it, where did they come from? Does the field have a third space hop? Where does it lead? Is there a larger Imperial fleet? There must be an answer to these questions, otherwise, we will be very passive. ”

"I understand, ma'am, what about your intentions?"

"We must re-conduct a detailed survey and survey of the star field, in view of the presence of the Imperial fleet, the Seventh Fleet is currently out on a sabotage mission, and we lack available ships, so I plan to send Captain Aristide to the Liberator to investigate, Major, you will temporarily assign the Liberator as the flight captain of the Liberator to assist Captain Aristide in the investigation."

"But isn't the Liberator still being refitted in the dockyard? Besides, the ship is not currently equipped with any starfighters. Risen asked, confused.

"Major," Captain Aristide took over, "the modification of the Liberator is mainly to remove some of the camouflage originally attached to the surface, and there is not much work, and the modification will be completed by tomorrow at the latest, your people are temporarily composed of a group of new graduates and volunteers of federal aid, as for the interstellar fighters, there is just a batch of lightning fighters here off the assembly line, a total of forty-eight, although the number is not very large, but we are not specifically going to fight after all, after completing the task, we will retreat." ”

"Yes, ma'am, Captain."
