Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 202 Head-to-head confrontation
"The battle damage ratio of the first wave of collisions has come out. The battle losses between the enemy and ourselves...1:1! It is infinitely close to 1:1. If we continue to fight like this, our two thousand aircraft will most likely be completely annihilated. It was the Army troops dispatched, with at least 5000 fighter planes, but the number of fighter planes we smuggled in on Quillak was only 2000!"

The battlefield information analyst immediately uploaded the information to the intranet of all the cyborgs, and everyone received the message at once.

This was a reminder that Portman's fighter planes should retreat. If they didn't retreat, they might not have a chance to retreat.

"how can that be?!"

An officer suddenly rushed to the display screen. On the screen, green dots representing friendly forces and red dots representing the enemy were constantly interspersed in the image.

The green dot on our side moves very fast, while the red dot crawls like a snail on the radar chart, but despite this, the disappearing speed on both sides is almost the same.

Our side is missing two, and the opponent is missing three, and then our side is missing three, and the opponent is missing two, similar to this back and forth.

"I have predicted that our prosthetic body has the same status as the opponent's psychic ability. However, we still have the advantage of fighter jets. How can we fight with the opponent at 55?"

The officer said in disbelief, but the data displayed on the screen was like this, and there was no room for doubt.

Makarov hesitated for a moment and then said: "Let the fighters withdraw and rely on the aerial fortress to engage in defensive counterattacks with the opponent."

Although the officer was very reluctant, he immediately gave the air force a retreat order.

Makarov looked out the window at the densely packed Portman fighter jets that were turning back and flying back, and said noncommittally.

"One of the advantages of prosthetics and genetic psionic energy is that they can be mass-produced. But now the opponent has formed a numerical advantage over us in local battlefields. It is expected that we will not be able to defeat..."

Although Makarov said this, he actually didn't think the other party had the ability to fight Portman 55 before a formal battle.

It is true that Portman has dominated the world for too long, and their only recognized opponent has always been Field.

They never expected that a civilization that could compete with them on a local battlefield would suddenly appear in the back garden of their Portman Capital Star Territory.

Technology explosions are not unheard of, but human beings are no longer experiencing technological explosions. Instead, they have suddenly all of the people soared in front of them without knowing why.

In fact, Makarov and other Portman senior officials have never taken humans too seriously. Even during this time of the Quilac Civil War, they still wanted to compete with humans.

But at the beginning, most members of the think tank did not believe that humans would really intervene in this war, just like the United States believed that they would not cross the Yalu River.

In the end, they crossed the Yalu River and decided to compete with the world's most powerful country, not only to recognize themselves, but also to let others recognize themselves.

They are not a country that can be ravaged by two superpowers at will. If you want to attack them, you must first be prepared to break your teeth.

As for Portman being wary of humanity's potential for future development and launching an all-out war against it, strangling humanity in its cradle, Field is not jealous.

Because his superiors told him not to do any transactions with Field, Qin Xu was really naive and didn't even do any underground transactions.

In fact, Field's embassy on Earth has long been in touch with high-level officials of the Human Complexity Council and has signed many underground treaties.

The most important one is Field's independent guarantee for the human unity.

With Field's independent guarantee, Portman's direct attack on humans would mean taking action against Field.

Field will have every reason to intervene in the war. Not only will Portman's international reputation be in shambles, but even humans may not be able to defeat it.Because of this, mankind's decisive dispatch of volunteers is bound to give Portman, who covets them, a head-on blow.

The 500-kilometer-class transport ship was parked in the low-Earth space orbit of the capital of Quillak. After the opponent's fighter jets began to retreat, they continued to eject the fighter jets outwards with electromagnetic catapults.

Now the number has approached the 5000 mark and the number continues to increase. Hundreds of fighter jets are ejected every second. Portman can fight with him as long as he wants.

More than 5000 is just Portman's conservative estimate. For example, their 500-kilometer-class transport ship can directly stuff tens of thousands of fighter jets into it and launch them outward at a speed of one thousand per second.

But Portman had no way to bring the Army transport ship over.

International public opinion reacted quite favorably to Portman's military intervention in the Quillac Civil War, and it has always been particularly violent.

And if Portman wants to transfer his space fleet to fight a space war with Quillac, then international public opinion will definitely be very opposed to this.

It doesn't matter if public opinion opposes it. The key is that after international public opinion collectively denounces it, Field will have enough reasons to send troops, which is what Portman does not want to see.

And if the transport ships are directly brought over to fight land battles, there will be no space battles.

The Kuilak government forces didn't care that you were right, they just fired and sunk your transport ship.

This resulted in Portman having to rely on his status as being in charge of Quillak's customs to continue secretly transporting arms to Quillak, which was very inefficient.

In such a long time, only two thousand aircraft were secretly transported, and an aerial fortress was built on the spot.

At this moment, Portman's fighter planes have all retreated to the vicinity of the flying fortress, controlling the air superiority around the fortress.

The human fighters did not intervene rashly because they had zero information about this aerial fortress.

Soon, the Quillak government army's underground command center sent the previously collected data about the aerial fortress to the human transport ship.

Qin Xu was currently having a holographic call with Administrative Officer Brad and other high-ranking officials of Quillak.

On the holographic screen, there are specialized military personnel in Quillak who are explaining the relevant data of this aerial fortress.

"So, to deal with this aerial fortress, we need at least space frigate main gun-level weapons to cause damage. And if our space army directly attacks it in space, everything within a hundred miles will be bombarded into rubble."

At this point, Qin Xu was a little puzzled, "You have such a big planet, don't you have any ground weapons? Although the frigate's weapons are huge and cannot be equipped on ground aircraft and tanks, it shouldn't be a problem to set one directly on the surface, right? ?”

The military personnel on Quillac's side were all a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Finally, Brad said: "One of the reasons is that this is the capital, not a border planet, so there is basically no ground defense force. The army is transferred from other places."

Qin Xu frowned, "What about the other reason?"

"Another reason is that the land is private...the consortium is unwilling to sell it, and the government has nothing to do."
