The atmosphere on the Dozo space station is tense. [No pop-ups. 】

The commander of the space station, Lieutenant Colonel Honadok, sighed that he had only succeeded Lieutenant Colonel Ray Ager as commander of the Cardoso station a few weeks ago, and had been transferred from the bustling New London system to this remote galaxy where birds don't, and although he had been promoted from an idle position to commander, there was nothing to be happy about being the commander of such a broken place.

The upset had been a few weeks ago, and like anyone who had come to Cardoso, he had begun to get used to his new role, to the boring, idle life here, and that the position of Commander didn't seem to be much different from his old idle role in the New London system.

yes, what else could be going on here? The war with the Federation is over for the time being, and the Almeron system is not a front-line system, and if there is anything new, it will be borne by the Corcoran system and the Imperial 11th Fleet stationed there; As for the rebels and the new spot, it was all before he took office, and the rebel space carrier appeared in the Almeron system for a few minutes. After making the people of Cardoso nervous and overwhelmed, the rebels no longer had any ships or starfighters to patronize here, although the people of the space station have really become more busy and vigilant than ever in the days after the rebels appeared, but that was a long time ago, time can make people slack, Cardoso's life gradually returned to its original orbit, even including the new deployment to strengthen the space station's defenses, several starfighter squadrons and the people stationed on the ship, the space carrier appeared in the galaxy mysteriously, the reason and intention became a bar chatter。 Many people joked very 'seriously' that the mothership might have come to Almeron because it had been lost.

But he didn't expect that he had just arrived for a few weeks, he had just adapted to life here, and the leisurely life was over again, and the Cardoso space station was once again in a state of tension and chaos, and the rebels were back, and these guys would really seize the opportunity.

The lieutenant colonel looked at the images coming back from the unmanned monitors. That rebel Imperial-class space carrier. He knew that only one of the rebels' space carriers belonged to the Empire-class Archangel. The Rebel Fleet is the fifth independent mobile fleet among the rebels, the fifth independent mobile fleet, and this fleet also has an alias, and he still knows what the name is.

The lieutenant colonel remembered the joke Lieutenant Colonel Ray had made with him before he left office: our Cardoso space station is a place of fame.

Who are the celebrities? Naturally, it was not Lieutenant Colonel Reager, nor was he the one who was Oneckok, although he was now a mortal enemy of the Empire. One of the number one criminals, but after all, he is still a well-known figure, and he is famous in the emperor, and there are not many people who don't know after the rebels' propaganda so hard, especially among the pilots, almost everyone knows this name, and as the rebels' third fighter ace, his flying career and his prominent starting point. It seems that it is from here that it begins. After the lieutenant colonel's cold eyes, the people here are especially the 'old people' who have stayed for a long time. When mentioning this person and this name, behind the superficial formulaic sadness, resentment, condemnation, remorse, etc., you can feel a faint trace of pride and pride

"Is Oneckok's detachment ready for battle to attack the rebel fleet?" On the screen, Lieutenant Commander Modafi of the Cardoso Space Station Squadron sent a message from his flagship, the cruiser Aldora.

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel," Lieutenant Colonel Honadok nodded, when he first received the warning, it was the rebels' keyhole early warning and control aircraft and several lightning heavy starfighters, and they had not yet been able to identify the rebel fleet, but everyone knew that these rebel starfighters would not appear out of thin air, and there must be a rebel mobile combat mothership nearby, so he immediately ordered the space station to enter combat readiness, and notified the resident squadron Lieutenant Colonel Mo Dafei who was at the same level as him, and he did not have the authority to command him and his detachment.

"The last image sent back before the unmanned monitor was destroyed by the rebels shows that the rebel fleet is obviously a transport fleet of considerable size, including a variety of large cargo ships of different types, but the trouble is not the transport fleet, this transport fleet is escorted by the rebels' fifth independent mobile fleet, we have confirmed the existence of the Archangel space carrier, and the rest of the escort ships also include two cruisers and at least four or more light ships."

"Archangel? Fifth separate mobile fleet? Black Tulip Fleet? Lieutenant Colonel Mo Dafei had a strange expression, he didn't go to the Cardoso space station for a day or two, naturally he heard the deeds of this celebrity from the Cardoso space station, although he speculated that there must be a space carrier in the rebel fleet from the existence of a keyhole early warning control machine in the rebel interstellar fighters, but he didn't expect that it was this Empire-level space carrier that appeared, in fact, it was nothing, the key was the person above.

What is this? Are you going back to your parents' house? Such a strange thought suddenly popped into his mind, but it was a pity that there were no flowers and red carpets to greet this big man.

"What are your plans? We don't have enough troops. Lieutenant Commander Mo Dafei asked, his squadron only had two cruisers and three destroyers, one of which was still exploring the new star field, the XY-1988 star field, and there was still no news yet

The four starships in his hands and Lieutenant Commander Cardo of Honadok will never be the match for the rebel fleet.

"Although it is not enough, from the point of view that there is a transport fleet with it, it can be considered that their target is not our space station, maybe just passing by, but to be on the safe side, I have sent a signal to the Corcoran system and the XY-447 field for help, the reinforcements of the XY-447 field may not be able to catch up with their starfighters, which are roughly the same as ours, basically do not have space jump capabilities, and lack the mothership team that can transport these fighters, and the team in the Corcoran system is currently undergoing exercises. Admiral Bilisy has ordered the entire fleet of other lands to come. ”

"Your celebrities have served in the 11th Fleet before, so it's all >." Lieutenant Colonel Mo Dafei said with a bit of sarcasm.

Lieutenant Colonel Honecke ignored his colleague, his brow furrowed slightly, his expression a little confused, as if he was considering something.

"What's wrong? What are you worried about? ”

"I'm wondering where is the rest of the rebel fleet? Didn't this rebel space carrier join the rest of the rebel fleet more than two weeks ago? ”

His words were more subtle, but Lieutenant Colonel Mo Dafei understood what his colleagues meant. Two weeks ago. Piper's fleet encounter. After all, it was no glorious thing for the Empire.

"Well, maybe they're busy dealing with Admiral Callaghan's angry revenge." Lieutenant Colonel Mo Dafei said uncertainly. "The rebels' usual practice is to disperse their fleets to harass and guerrilla against our army, and after such a long time, it is normal for them to re-disperse their fleets, and there are no other existing rebel fleets at present?"

"It's not there. But just because we don't show up doesn't mean they don't exist. ”

"Well, let's just assume they exist, what are you doing when you see the rebels don't care about the areas they control, and let our army's clearance fleet move freely in the star fields of various systems? It seems that there is not so much fleet to escort a convoy of convoys; Capture Almeron? I don't see any significant value in the Almeron system. Can they make such a big move? Oh. Maybe they're for the Corcoran system, but is the Corcoran system so easy to capture? Except for the 11th Fleet, the defense of the planet Corcoran is not different from destroying a fleet, you need to deal with a large number of automatic defenses over the planet's orbit, you need to send a large number of 6 fighters, you need to send fighters through the shield, destroy the shield generator, and then you can destroy the space railgun, but it takes a lot of time to take these actions, once there is an accident in the operation - you know that military operations are often troublesome and unexpected action delays, Admiral Callaghan's ground fleet is coming, and the admiral will not let go of this opportunity to retaliate, how much chance of victory can the rebels have？ Taking a step back, even if the rebels can capture Corcoran in time, it won't take a few days for the Admiral's fleet to arrive, and they can hold the system? At that time, the rebels will have only one way to go, and that is to flee to the Federation, but I don't think the rebels will leave their heritage and all the Empire realm, if so, then thank goodness the Empire has thrown off a big problem. ”

"You're right, Corcoran is of no use to the rebels, unless the Federation Army is involved, it will only become a burden to them." After Lieutenant Colonel Mandafei's remarks, Lieutenant Colonel Honadok seemed to have a sudden realization.

"If the Federation forces are involved, it can only mean that the war will start again," the squadron commander sighed, "then it doesn't matter what Corcoran, our border systems are now weakly defended, and if the Federation attacks in an all-out way, then we can't stop it." ”

The two were silent for a moment, and Lieutenant Colonel Honnardok finally nodded: "Maybe I'm really thinking too much, this rebel fleet may just be an ordinary transport fleet with a strong escort force, but where do they want to go?" ”

"You ask me, who do I ask? I'll know in a moment, but I don't think it's a good idea to go to the Corcoran system and XY-447, and I don't know where they're going to be. ”

"You're not going to intercept?" Lieutenant Colonel Honecke asked, after a moment's hesitation.

"How to intercept it? I only have one cruiser and three destroyers, and it's not enough to stuff anyone's teeth, even if you add your starfighters, they won't be a match for the enemy, your celebrity and his fleet are the elite of the rebels, unless the 11th fleet arrives

"Understand, let's wait for the 11th Fleet to act together, the rebel transports [slowly, and probably didn't expect that the 11th Fleet is not stationed on the planet Corcoran, but is already conducting military exercises," Lieutenant Commander Honecker was a little complacent, "If the 11th ships set sail when we were warned, they might not be able to catch up, but now with the 11th ship [=, I think we can catch up with the rebel convoys." ”
