Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 512 Fishing in troubled waters
In the synchronous orbit of Yanhuang Star, the most eye-catching thing is the space fortress that is the size of a planet.

In fact, this is the "flying" space port.

This huge spaceport is not only one of the largest spaceports in the Human Federation, but also one of the busiest spaceports in the entire Galactic Federation.In peacetime, tens of millions of people come and go here every day, and the goods that go in and out every year are even more difficult to count.

Of course, during the war, "Flying Apsaras" is the Human Federation, to be precise, the Space Fortress of the third war zone.

In fact, this huge space base was planned by the Third Theater during the Fifth Greenwich War and started construction after the war. In the first 200 years, it has been managed by the Third Theater. It is the only space fortress near the star, and it was even the seat of the third theater command for a period of time.It was not until Zhan Ruilin retired, and the threat from the Northern Alpha galaxy gradually subsided, that the third war zone responded to the request of the federal authorities to transform "Flying Sky" into a space port, and the chief of staff of the war zone who was in charge of this matter was dismissed shortly afterwards .It's just a done deal, even if Zhan Ruilin is very reluctant, he can't take back the right to use "Feitian" through legitimate means, but let the federal authorities sign an agreement to characterize "Feitian" as a paramilitary facility, so that the third war zone It can requisition "flying" spaceports in accordance with relevant laws during wartime and transform them into space fortresses.

In the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the third war zone, "Flying Sky" has always been the space fortress of the third war zone, and it is only loaned to the federal authorities for use in peacetime.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, it is not the federal authorities that have taken advantage, but the Third War Zone.

The point is that in the past hundreds of years, it was the federal authorities who were responsible for maintaining the "Flying Sky", and the cost of normal maintenance alone was extremely staggering.Some people have calculated that the cost saved by handing over the "Flying Sky" to the federal authorities is enough to allow the Third War Zone to support an additional [-] legions, or a fleet of [-] warships.If this cost is borne by the Third Theater, then the Third Theater must reduce its standing force.

In contrast, the military value of "Flying Apsaras" has not been reduced because of its civilian use.

That is, when the "Feitian" was transformed into a space port, its main structure was not affected, and all vital military facilities were preserved.As long as war breaks out and is taken over by the third theater, "Flying Sky" can accept all the warships and military spaceships of the third theater without making any changes.It only takes a month at most, and "Flying Sky" can accommodate the standing army of the third theater after completing the initial transformation.Even if it is transformed into a real Space Fortress, it will never take more than five years.In other words, as long as there is a need, the third war zone can build this space port into the strongest space fortress in the home galaxy at the fastest speed.

Because of this, many people believed that it was Zhan Ruilin's arrangement to hand over "Fei Tian" to the federal authorities, and the chief of staff who was subsequently dismissed was just a scapegoat.

In fact, this is also the first time "Feitian" has returned to its original identity after being used by civilians for hundreds of years.

At this time, there are a large number of warships near the "Flying" fortress, but they are not many compared with those spaceships that have already docked and are gradually docking at the port.

Just a few hours ago, it was peaceful here.

Those large and small transport spaceships all arrived within these few hours, and their destinations were all "flying sky".Those warships responsible for protecting Yanhuang Star and "Flying Sky" not only did not stop them, but even went up to them in turn, leading those transport spaceships to dock at the port.

In "Flying Apsaras", the legion of the third theater is already ready to go.

Because there are too many officers and soldiers gathered here, and most of them are transported by small spaceships, it is impossible for officers and soldiers of a legion to board the same spaceship, so they can only be temporarily dispersed, and the scene becomes extremely chaotic. I am afraid that no one present knows how many legions there are.

In any case, there must be a lot, at least a hundred legions.

Fortunately, the order has already been issued to the grassroots, and each troop has received boarding instructions and knows where their spaceship is docked.In addition, there are many officers and soldiers in the fortress who are maintaining order and are responsible for guiding the officers and soldiers of the legion to board the ship, so the scene has not lost control.

According to the plan, all the legions in "Flying Sky" will leave in spaceships within twelve hours.

In order to ensure the safety of the operation, Lin Xiaoting came here early.He is the chief of staff in the theater, and it is his job to arrange troop operations.

Because the destinations of these legions are some colonial galaxies that are critical to the third war zone, and even to the entire human federation, and have great strategic value, Zhan Ruilin is also very concerned and asked Lin Xiaoting to report to him every two hours Report a specific situation.

In fact, only Zhan Ruilin and Lin Xiaoting knew that not one hundred legions boarded here, but two hundred.

Before Yu Linglong came to find Zhan Ruilin and agreed to lend the transport fleet, Lin Xiaoting followed Zhan Ruilin's instructions and sent the [-] legions that had completed preparations to the "Flying Sky" fortress, so that after finding the transport spaceship, they could Let these legions go immediately, so you don't have to spend any more time preparing.The Yu family can lend a transport fleet, which is naturally the best.However, what Lin Xiaoting didn't expect was that after Yu Linglong left, Zhan Ruilin asked him to organize another [-] legions, and then when the members of Yu's family arrived, he would send these legions to the "Flying Sky" fortress face to face.At the same time, disguise the [-] legions sent over as the guards of the fortress, and prepare to board the ship.

Lin Xiaoting immediately understood that Zhan Ruilin wanted to take this opportunity to send [-] more legions out.

Although surprised, Lin Xiaoting understood Zhan Ruilin's painstaking efforts.

Don't forget, Zhan Ruilin sent a hundred legions a long time ago, and sent them to the ten most important colonial galaxies.Before Yu Linglong came back, these one hundred legions successfully completed their missions, not only taking back ten colonial galaxies, but also eliminating all the enemies in these colonial galaxies.According to the battle report received, the Silicon Charm army has already begun to retreat. Although some legions are left behind, they are not many troops, and their combat power is not very good.In the ten colonial galaxies, the legions in the third war zone did not encounter tenacious resistance, and basically wiped out the enemy after a short battle. Not only did they not suffer too much loss in the battle, even many of the heavy weapons they brought It didn't work.

According to the reports of these legions, as long as the troops can be dispatched in time and arrive before the enemy wreaks havoc, the safety of these colonial galaxies can be ensured.

In other words, the key is not the number of troops sent, nor the combat effectiveness of the legion, but the speed at which troops are dispatched.

In fact, even if the troops sent to these ten colonial galaxies are lightly armed, they can successfully complete the mission, and there is no need to bring so much heavy equipment.

You know, these are still ten crucial colonial galaxies.

So, what about other colonized galaxies?

More importantly, heavy equipment takes up a lot of transportation capacity. If the spaceships used to transport equipment and equipment are used to transport soldiers, more legions can be dispatched.

Lin Xiaoting raised this question to Zhan Ruilin when he was making a backup plan.

Because no reply from Yu Linglong had been received at that time, Lin Xiaoting boldly proposed to use all the small spaceships he could find to transform these spaceships as quickly as possible so that they could sail across the star system, and then use these spaceships to fly the third The elite troops of the war zone are sent to various colonial galaxies.Although there are not many troops that can be transported, as long as they arrive in time, these elite troops will definitely be able to complete the task.

Of course, after Yu Linglong came back, this problem disappeared.

Just like that, Lin Xiaoting also forgot about it.

Even if there is no shortage of elite troops in the third war zone, in addition to the special reconnaissance brigade, the garrison, the fleet, the theater command, and even each military division have their own elite troops, many of which are genuine soldiers.At least as far as Lin Xiaoting knew, many military sub-districts obtained some small-scale energy converters through various unofficial channels during peacetime, used them to arm elite officers and soldiers, and formed their own elite troops.In the past, Lin Xiaoting pretended not to see these things in the military division.But now, let Zhan Ruilin come forward, the commanders of those military divisions will definitely not dare to disobey orders.The concentration of these elite troops is definitely a powerful force, an important force that no one dares to underestimate.

The problem is that these elite troops can be said to be the last capital of the third theater.Use it now, what should you do if you need it in the future?More importantly, the existence of these elite troops is a secret, and sending them out now is to let everyone know that there is such a force in the third theater.

It would be great to have an alternative.

In any case, a hundred legions are obviously more suitable for the task of recovering the colonial galaxy than a group of elite troops.

To put it bluntly, no matter how heavy the loss of the ordinary legion was, Lin Xiaoting would not be heartbroken, because the Human Federation has never lacked soldiers suitable for service.The elite troops are different, because only one in a million people in the Human Federation is a Primarch, and has the basic conditions to be a soldier.

However, what Lin Xiaoting didn't expect was that Zhan Ruilin was going to send two hundred legions out.

Of course, they are all light troops.

After understanding what Zhan Ruilin meant, Lin Xiaoting came here and personally took charge of the boarding and departure of the legions, ensuring that all the legions could board the spaceship sent by the Yu family.More importantly, it must be ensured not to be discovered by people from the Yu family, because the crew members on those spaceships are all from the Yu family.

The solution is not difficult, which is to mess up the order and modify the boarding plan at an appropriate time.

Although the Yu family sent thousands of spaceships, these spaceships will not go to one colony system, but will form ten fleets, large and small, to go to ten colony systems respectively.After departing separately, these spaceships will cut off contact, and they will not know the whereabouts of other fleets.As long as some spaceships cannot be launched in time, ten fleets can be turned into twenty.In addition, after the fleet departs, as long as the action order is adjusted, such as a new order, the extra ten fleets can be sent to another ten colonial galaxies.Because these fleets will not communicate with each other, the Yu family cannot grasp the exact situation, and it is impossible to intervene in the operations of the third theater.

Obviously, these are the things Lin Xiaoting is best at.
