Chapter 225: Failure
"Che, that's a bit of a big difference from the expected number...... Sure enough, it's not so easy to deceive a mechanical intelligence. ”
A general, separated by hundreds of galaxies from the war zone, pouted and complained with a face full of unwillingness.
Unlike the ideal fleet of "unexpected enemies" that would come to attack, the fleet of "unexpected enemies" that came to the numbered galaxy was large, but it was less than half of the expected number.
This mechanical intelligence, as it has always behaved logically, treats the enemy as an "adversary" to a certain degree, and does not send too many fleets to such places that may seem trapped.
Of course, it is also possible that it is just the theory of probability that prevents the "unexpected enemy" from choosing to do so, and which of the benefits of capturing here is conservative compared to the risk of total destruction in the trap.
“…… If this is the only one, it is far from breaking the bones of the 'unexpected enemy'...... However, if it is a little exaggerated in terms of publicity, it will have the same effect on boosting morale. ”
Some generals are thinking about how to maximize the impact of this victory, turn around the sluggish morale within the previous civilization, and at the same time shape their own image as a "famous general through the ages".
After all, this is a battle in which galactic civilizations work together to fight the crisis, and it is almost inevitable that it will go down in history, and even if only one name is mentioned at that time, it will be enough for them to live for a hundred years.
In addition, there are some generals who are concerned about practical interests who are busy with another matter, which is to remotely command these unmanned "guardian fleets", and then seize the time to destroy the warships of the "unexpected enemy".
With the "Galaxy Focus: Unexpected Enemy" bill coming into effect, "rewards for meritorious deeds" based on the number of enemy fleets destroyed have been included in the "Wartime Interstellar Law".
At that time, in the post-war statistics, "the number of 'unexpected enemy' fleets destroyed" will also be an important criterion for judging the contribution, which plays an extremely important role in the redistribution of galactic resources.
Whatever the reason, when the "unexpected enemy" fleet, which had far less than expected, arrived here, these people were dissatisfied, but each could not hide their excitement.
This state is very similar to that of a civilization that perished a long time ago, no matter how strong or weak, it never regarded its enemies as "opponents" until destruction came.
Soaring power breeds many evil diseases, greedy ambition and desire will make people subconsciously ignore their own disadvantages, and arrogance and conceit will make people despise the opponents they will face.
And the ending of civilizations with all the above labels has also been staged in the galaxy, and those destroyed lost empires are still staring at the galactic civilizations in the garbage heap of history, staring at them every day.
The lesson that life learns from history is that it never learns its lesson.
The only thing that can be remembered in life is the unforgettable pain that they have personally experienced.
“…… No matter so much! I won the jackpot against the 'unexpected enemy'! ”
Before the words were completely spoken, a general commanded the fleet remotely and took the lead in attacking.
When the rest of the battleship's main guns were still accumulating, he fired the main guns that were not fully charged in advance.
This was contrary to the pre-war meeting's requirement that all the main guns fire in unison, in an effort to inflict maximum damage on the "unexpected enemy" before the contact battle had even begun.
His actions will definitely go to the Galactic Court in the future, but if he can make great achievements in this battle, then this kind of "disobedience to military orders" will also be packaged as "being sensitive, able to seize opportunities, and doing things that ordinary people dare not do".
And this general really seemed to have "seized the opportunity", and the main guns of the battleship under his command hit several capital ships of the "unexpected enemy".
The ships that were still accumulating energy did not seem to have expected the enemy's attack to come so quickly, the small ships that were supposed to be the decoy for interference did not do their due role, and although the shield that was not yet fully deployed weakened most of the energy of the main gun, when the hull was directly hit, there was still great damage.
This damage almost indicates that the "unexpected enemy" battleship can no longer play a role in this battlefield, so the general who fired in advance did not care, and directly let the small ships in the "Guardian Fleet" start to pursue, and the second main gun of the battlecruiser is also rapidly recharged.
As long as the recorder on the ship confirms that the fleet under his command has destroyed the "unexpected enemy" battleship, then the contribution points of the civilization behind him will increase dramatically, and he will become a hero and be remembered by the people.
Seeing that this "frontrunner" is really about to get a good start, even if most of the generals are still faithfully implementing the original plan, there are still a very small number of people who are ready to move.
They chose to fire early when they were only 1 second away from the scheduled salvo of the main guns.
This is a permissible "error", but one second is enough to change the order of first come, first come.
One by one, "Unexpected Enemy" battleships began to explode in their beams, and reddened metal shards were flying through the universe at an incredible speed.
However, this successive explosions did not last long, and soon the irregular formation of the "unexpected enemy" fleet due to the jump returned to normal.
The fully deployed shield stance made it impossible for the main gun to penetrate without being fully charged, and the carrier-based aircraft that interfered with the weapon locking began to fly in large numbers, reducing the hit rate of the main gun in over-the-horizon battles.
The small ships that were sailing quickly also came to the "Dog Fighting Zone" in the middle of the galaxy and engaged in a struggle with the frigates of the "Guardian Fleet".
A new round of fighting is about to break out, and the command of this battle has also received a report of battle damage.
"Report! The battle loss ratio between our army and the enemy fleet has successfully reached 1:1! ”
The good news made the already relaxed atmosphere even more joyful, and the generals began to talk and laugh, and even some of the unsmiling generals had a smile on their faces for the first time in a long time.
However, someone noticed the reporter's expression and asked what was going on, and then received bad news.
“…… Most of the real losses of the enemy fleet are small ships, and those large warships of the 'unexpected enemy' that have not been directly destroyed are repairing themselves by means unknown to us......"
Unfortunately, a certain general, who was concentrating on commanding the fleet, suddenly shouted, and then began to smash the mechanical platform in front of him in a rage, shouting:
"Why! Enemies reload faster than I do! The firepower is also stronger than mine! Obviously the 'Guardian' can be destroyed with one shot, so I have to use two shots! And by this time the enemy has already fired four shots! ”
This anomaly gave all the manipulators of the battle a sense of foreboding.
They called up the video and saw an astonishing scene.
An "Unexpected Enemy" capital ship and a "Guardian Fleet" capital ship coincidentally aimed their main guns at each other.
On the interstellar scale, a millimeter difference is enough to make an attack thousands of miles after tens of millions of meters, but this time there was a rare "anti-wave" scene.
The beams of the two battle-class guns spanned countless distances, eventually creating an interaction in the middle of the galaxy.
I thought that each other was the capital ship, and even if they were defeated, they could stalemate for a while.
Unexpectedly, the beam of their main cannon was swallowed up like a stone into the sea, and the beam of the main gun of the battleship of the "unexpected enemy" exploded into a cosmic firework as if it had never been hindered.
This "completely defeated" scene made the generals present invariably stunned for a while, and then they all began to devote themselves to the battlefield.
In anticipation, the scene of 10 against 1 appeared, but the side of 10 was the galactic civilization.
After paying a heavy price and a terrifying battle loss ratio, this "Battle of Stargate" finally ended in the victory of the galactic civilization.
However, they have completely failed to achieve their goals, both tactically and strategically.
The "Unexpected Enemy" seemed to confirm the condition of the numbered galaxy and flew away halfway through the battle, but the Galactic civilizations did not dare to pursue them because their losses were too heavy.
The better ones, the "Guardian Fleet" that was handed over to them lost two-thirds, and the worse ones, the entire fleet was wiped out, and they had to be cheeky to borrow from the "Guardians" again.
The "Guardian" fleet stationed in this numbered system was destroyed by the "unexpected enemy" fleet in the first wave of impact.
The "Stargate Operation" they carried out was completely done without the help of the "guardians."
They thought they could make a "surprise", but the truth was extremely painful.
Until the "Guardian" stopped the fleet of the "unexpected enemy" belatedly, every general of the galactic civilization who participated in this battle did not dare to look directly at the black fleet.
They feel ashamed, but they have to turn to the "guardians" again for help, because without help they can't even defend themselves.
So a general hesitated for a while, and after getting permission from the top of the civilization, he asked the "guardian" for assistance again in a reflective tone.
And in the midst of their apprehension, the "guardians" did not live up to their expectations.
[Request received, processing ......]
[The second batch of "Guardian Fleets" is about to arrive, I hope these can help you]
At this moment, everyone present seemed to feel a violent tremor somewhere in their hearts.
