Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 404
It is not easy to return to the home galaxy, and it is even more difficult to leave the home galaxy.

According to the information provided by the theater command, there are at least ten main fleets of the Silicon Magic Alliance near the home galaxy, and tens of thousands of small patrol ships.After completing the siege and blockade of the home galaxy, the Silicon Charm Alliance deployed a large number of detectors outside the home galaxy, and would send out an alarm if there was a slight abnormality.Including the third war zone, before this, they dispatched fast battleships many times to try to break through the blockade of the Silicon Charm fleet, but all of them ended in failure.The key point is that the blockade of the Silicon Magic Alliance is too dense. No matter where an abnormality is found, one fleet will arrive within 15 minutes, and three fleets will arrive within two hours.Even the fastest warship of the Human Federation cannot escape in just 15 minutes.As long as it is overtaken by the main fleet of the Silicon Magic Alliance, being destroyed is an inevitable result.If a small battleship is dispatched, and the space jump distance is shortened as much as possible, to avoid triggering the detectors deployed by the Silicon Magic Alliance, it is also possible to encounter small patrol ships wandering outside the home galaxy.If it is entangled by a small patrol ship, it will delay a lot of time, so that the nearby main fleet will have enough time to arrive.

Prior to this, including the third theater, the breakout operations organized by nine theaters all ended in failure.

Although it is not certain whether all the ships that tried to break out of the encirclement were destroyed, none of these ships returned to the home galaxy, or even made contact with the home galaxy.Even if a ship breaks out, it will definitely suffer heavy damage and completely lose its ability to move.

Of course, these ships all have special missions, and they will not actively reveal their whereabouts until they complete their missions.

Although there is the "Xinghai", Yang Yi has no idea whether he can successfully break through the enemy's encirclement, even Otis is not fully sure.

Quite simply, the Silicon Magic Alliance is using more than just warships to seal off the home system.

According to Otis' speculation, the Silicon Magic Alliance must have set up traps near the home galaxy to deal with those ships trying to escape.Although the "Xinghai" has advanced performance and is very fast enough to get rid of the warships of the Silicon Charm Alliance, as long as it falls into a trap, even an ordinary space trap, it will suffer catastrophe, at least a lot of time will be delayed, and it will be destroyed. The fleet of the Silicon Charm Alliance caught up.

Without knowing the outside situation, the risk of breaking through is too great.

Yang Yi did not rush to take action, but waited for Shen Chengwen to return with the officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade.In any case, Shen Chengwen understands the Silicon Charm Alliance better.

After discussing with Shen Chengwen, Yang Yi formulated a breakout plan that didn't seem so reliable, but barely feasible, and then submitted it to the theater command.Because the breakout operation requires the cooperation of other troops, Yang Yi can only ask Lin Xiaoting for help.

The plan is very simple, the main thing is to arrange a feint attack, dispatch a large number of small warships to break through in all directions at the same time, so that the enemy will not know the intention of the third theater, and the "Xinghai" will take this opportunity to fight out.If possible, the small warships responsible for the cover should also provide real-time battle conditions, so that Yang Yi and the others can grasp the battlefield situation in a timely and accurate manner, and they will be more confident in finding loopholes in the enemy's direction.

Lin Xiaoting agreed without even thinking about it. In addition to Zhan Ruilin's order to help Yang Yi unconditionally, it was also related to some tasks that had already been arranged. In addition, Lin Liexun was still active outside. Lin Xiaoting even had no reason to shirk.

That is, there are now a large number of fleets and troops of the Human Federation resisting the invasion in places other than the home galaxy.Although he was able to get in touch with his home galaxy, he couldn't get any help, even if it was just some verbal encouragement.Long before Yang Yi and the others came back, the theater command formulated an action plan, preparing to send small warships fast enough to those colonial galaxies that were still resisting.Although small battleships can't hold much supplies, and can provide little help to the resistance organizations of the colonial galaxy, as long as these small battleships can reach the colonial galaxy, even if it is only one, the encouragement value generated is very huge.

Simply put, this reassures the resistance of the colonized galaxy that the Federation has not forgotten them nor abandoned them.

Unfortunately, before this, Lin Xiaoting has not waited for the right opportunity.

Although under the pressure of the military department, he took action and sent some small warships, but none of them succeeded. All previous breakout operations failed, and a large number of warships were lost as a result.Even if they are all small warships, they are not of much value in the battle to defend the home galaxy, but Lin Xiaoting cannot accept the meaningless sacrifice of the officers and soldiers on these warships, so after launching a few symbolic breakout operations , the third war zone no longer made any major moves.Of course, the situation is similar in other theaters.If there is hope to break through, even if only one warship can break out of the encirclement, no matter how big the sacrifice is.In the hopeless situation, just to show their own existence, or to satisfy the personal desires of several military officials and federal officials, let thousands of officers and soldiers die, not just Lin Xiaoting, I am afraid that anyone Neither the chief of staff nor the commander in the theater could accept it.

This time is different, and for at least one good reason.

Lin Xiaoting personally made the deployment, personally issued orders to the captain who performed the cover mission, and personally planned the breakout route of each warship.

The chief of staff of the theater is in charge, and the preparations in all aspects are not only carried out very smoothly, but the efficiency is also frighteningly high.

On the fifth day after Shen Chengwen arrived with the special investigation team, that is, the third day after Yang Yi submitted the breakout plan, the deployment work was completed.

Of course, this is also related to the current situation.

Don't forget, the Human Federation has already entered a wartime state. In addition to the completion of war mobilization in the major regions, the mobilization of civilians has also been fully launched.In addition, the military department has taken over the home galaxy, the federal authorities have stood aside, and the entire human federation has been regulated according to the laws of war.To put it simply, everything is military first, and the military orders issued by the military department and the headquarters of the major theaters have the highest effectiveness.

In addition, among the nine theaters, the third theater started mobilization first, and the completion rate was also the highest.

In just two days, Lin Xiaoting not only mobilized hundreds of small warships, but also made all these warships ready for departure, and arranged tasks for each captain.Although the main task was to cover Yang Yi's "Xinghai" to break through the encirclement of the Silicon Magic Alliance, Lin Xiaoting also assigned other tasks to these small warships.It's very simple, as long as they successfully break through, try to rush to those colonial galaxies that are still resisting, and bring the orders of the Federation and the military to improve the morale and confidence of the armed forces of the colonial galaxies.If the target galaxy has been captured by the Silicon Demon Alliance, it will switch to the task of breaking the border and attack the rear supply line of the Silicon Demon army.

Simply put, these small battleships will not return to their home galaxy after covering Yang Yi and the others to break out.

Although I felt that Lin Xiaoting's arrangement was a bit redundant, and that the small warships that broke through were likely to be self-defeating, Yang Yi didn't say much. After all, the chief of staff had his own considerations, and it was impossible to dispatch more than 100 small warships just to cover Yang Yi and the others. Breakout.

You know, there are not many warships available to the Human Federation now.

Because the advance speed of the Silicon Charm army far exceeded everyone's expectations, even Zhan Ruilin did not expect that the seemingly indestructible Greenwich defense line would be broken through by the Silicon Charm army within a few months, so when the Greenwich defense line fell However, most of the troops of the Human Federation are outside the home galaxy, and many legions and fleets that were mobilized at that time were even on their way to colonize the galaxy.As a result, before the home galaxy was surrounded by the army of silicon demons, only the main fleet of the nine theaters returned in time.Although most of the capital ships were saved, nearly [-]% of the small warships failed to return, and it is obviously impossible for a fleet to be all capital ships.

Given enough time, the lack of small warships could certainly be resolved.After the war mobilization is completed, the war potential of the Human Federation can be brought into play.During the Fifth Greenwich War, the Human Federation set a record of building [-] small warships in one year.

The problem is, there isn't enough time right now.

It is conservatively estimated that it will take at least five years for the Human Federation to complete the war mobilization, and it will take three years to be optimistic. Moreover, after the war mobilization is completed, the war potential, especially the industrial potential, cannot be brought into play immediately. After all, adjusting the industrial structure requires more time.

According to the mobilization plan formulated by the military department, it will take five years at the earliest to build small warships in batches.

Before that, there were less than 1000 small warships in the home galaxy, and on average, there were only more than 100 ships in each theater.Even if the third war zone is strong, there are less than [-] small warships that can be used, and there are only about [-] small warships that can be converted into small warships.Lin Xiaoting dispatched more than [-] small warships, and the real warships were covering Yang Yi and his team's breakout, which is already very good.

Of course, this also shows that Zhan Ruilin and Lin Xiaoting attach great importance to this operation.

It's just that secrecy is more important.

In order to deceive others, Lin Xiaoting formulated an action plan called "Brother Gongzi", which was sent to the military department for record after Zhan Ruilin signed it.Although this is just a formality, it is enough to make others think of Lin Liexun who is still alive, and thus think that Lin Xiaoting's big move is to save his most beloved young son.Because Lin Liexun is a major general and has nine Flowing Shadow Ships belonging to the Weaving Star Clan, it is not surprising that Zhan Ruilin signed this action plan.

Although this trick is not considered clever, at least the outside world will not immediately associate this action with Yang Yi.Anyway, Lin Liexun is Lin Xiaoting's son, and he was valued by Zhan Ruilin before. He was appointed by the military department when he left his home galaxy, not the arrangement of the Third War Zone Command.I always thought that he was dead before, but now that I know he is still alive, I have to bring him back.

This series of arrangements and deployments took only five days, and the efficiency was astonishingly high.
