Chapter 258

When the federal warships arrived at the star field where the transport fleet was attacked from the central star field, all they saw were the battleships that were no longer excited and the transport ships that had become wrecks all over the airspace.And the mastermind of this sneak attack - the two imperial fleets have long since disappeared.The two federal fleets that came to the rescue also suffered a big loss. In order to arrive at the battlefield earlier, they didn't even send engineering ships to clear the mines, but directly detonated the mines.

Among this large group of mines, there are two high-energy explosive mines hidden. The energy flow caused by the explosion directly overturned the battleships in the front row of the Federation Fleet, causing hundreds of warships to be seriously damaged due to mutual collisions. damage.

"It's really cunning!" Seeing the wreckage of the transport ship covering the airspace, Lieutenant General Hercule Sullivan, who led the fleet to rescue, threw the report in his hand to the ground angrily.

"Don't be too impatient, Lieutenant General Sullivan." Through the communication screen, Admiral Ned Merival persuaded, "This is obviously a well-laid trap by the other party. Sometimes, such things are unavoidable. Now that the transport fleet is in It is impossible for our side to sit idly by when this position is attacked. It can only be said that the opponent has a good grasp of the timing of target selection and battlefield positioning."

"Your Excellency Merivale! Now is not the time to praise our opponents. That kid sent us to support the transport fleet. Isn't that clearly telling us to jump into the fire pit?" Lieutenant General Sullivan crawled on his fiery red mess irritably. Hair, looks very irritable.

"The struggle for military power is not an aboveboard matter." Admiral Merival nodded, "Admiral Quinn can only compromise on this matter, after all, it was indeed Susekland who entered the central star field first. The fleet of that faction. It is unreasonable to let them leave the battle situation to assist the supply fleet. It can only be said that we suffered a dark loss in the arrangement meeting before entering the center defense zone."

"Then now..."

"Needless to say, I will bear the responsibility for this aid war." Admiral Merival waved his hand to stop Lieutenant General Sullivan from arguing. Although he was facing an unfavorable situation, the admiral, known as a Confucian general, still had a serious look on his face. Wen Wen's expression. "What needs to be done now is to clean up the battlefield so that the wounded soldiers can receive treatment as soon as possible. Leave this to me, and you take the fleet back to the central star field immediately. Admiral Quinn's situation is also urgent."

Lieutenant General Sullivan knew that he was impatient, and he was the most impatient to do things like clean up the battlefield.

At the same time, the Eighth Fleet and the Seventh Fleet were already heading towards the central star field from another direction.

The fierce battle in the central star field has been stalemate for several days. On this day, this vast star field looks dimmer than the previous few days.

In the early morning of May 28, the three imperial fleets that first entered the Sente defense zone finally joined together.

Sisti, who appeared in front of Lin Jian and Lieutenant General Frank, looked very haggard, and it could be seen that he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days.Not only Sisti, but even all the soldiers of the Ninth Fleet are exhausted.

The Ninth Fleet was running out of energy, and under the escort of the Seventh and Eighth Fleets, they temporarily left the theater and went to the supply base to rest.On this day, the two sides have a day of truce.

However, on the night of this day, the commanders of the three fleets received a message.On the outskirts of the Sente defense zone, the Fifth Fleet of the Empire, which entered the theater, was ambushed by the Federation Fleet, almost completely annihilated, with less than a thousand warships escaping.For the first time, the empire faced the situation where the entire fleet was dismantled after entering the alliance.

As of noon on May 28th, two-thirds of the center area to the Sinus outpost had been controlled by the federal fleet.

In the early morning of May 29, the alliance's final counterattack began.All the fleets gathered in the unmanned galaxy at the forefront of the Sinas outpost. At the same time, the originally damaged defensive celestial body at the front of the center defense zone restarted, blocking the center defense zone again.

"That guy has been scared out of his wits, I'm afraid he can't count on it." Lieutenant General Sisti, who didn't have time to sleep on the bed but stayed in the dormant cabin for two hours, said helplessly, filling his mouth as he spoke. food.In the past few days, not only did he not have a good rest, but he also ate a few bites casually on the bridge.

Lin Jian sat on the opposite side of the dining table and silently fiddled with the food on the plate with a fork.Although Sisti said these words out of nowhere, she knew who he was talking about.From the edge of the center defense area, not only did the information of the Fifth Fleet be destroyed, but also the information that the Tenth Fleet fled the battlefield during the fierce battle.Strictly speaking, if the Tenth Fleet hadn't fled without a fight, it is impossible for the Fifth Fleet to fall into the opponent's pincer attack and cause the fleet to be defeated.

Lieutenant General Frank also remained silent on the side. He could be said to blame himself in his heart. If it hadn't been for the quarrel between him and Jimanet, the Fifth Fleet might not have ended up in this situation.But having said that, if the Tenth Fleet is fighting with the Eighth and Ninth Fleets at this time, the overall situation may be worse than it is now.At least it is impossible for Sisti to sit here peacefully and eat his breakfast at this time.

If the opponent's supply fleet is not destroyed and the two federal fleets are pulled out of the central star field, the Sinus outpost may have changed hands before the alliance's Sinus defenders set off.

In other words, whether it is the alliance government or the court of the Galactic Empire, they have somewhat underestimated the military power of the federal government. Although they think they have paid enough attention to it, the reality expressed shows that it is far from enough.

"Admirals, the Commander-in-Chief of the Alliance Government Headquarters requests to speak to the three of you." Before Sisti had finished his breakfast, an Alliance soldier walked to the table of the three and reported.

"Commander?" Lieutenant General Frank asked back.

"Yes, Lieutenant General Lu Ximing requested to communicate with the three." Facing Lieutenant General Frank's question, the young soldier answered seriously.

"Let's go, I want to see what the Commander-in-Chief has to say." Hearing what the communications soldier said, Sisti left the napkin in his hand on the table and stood up first.

This was the first time Lin Jian met Lu Ximing. Before that, she had heard Lu Fei mention his uncle, and she had also learned from Lu Fei that Lu Ximing's talk about the federal government was very dangerous.More than a year later, his original rhetoric has really become a reality.Seeing that he had successfully said that the federal government would declare war, Lin Jian still had a lot of trust in Lu Ximing.

"I have great admiration for the achievements of the three after the start of the war."

Facing Lu Ximing's high-profile praise, the three imperial generals just smiled politely.To be honest, if the empire hadn't participated in the war, it would still be a question of whether the alliance government would exist now.

Seeing that the three imperial generals didn't care about his praise, Lu Ximing smiled lightly. To be honest, he is not good at such flattering words. He knows the situation of the war after the war better than anyone else.Given the confusion of intelligence, errors in data, and the repeated defeats of the Alliance Fleet, he would not be surprised if the three imperial generals expressed even more distrust at this time.

"Then, let me explain the deduction of this battle to the three of you. I request the three of you to fully cooperate." Lu Ximing finished the brief greetings, and began to explain the counterattack that will be launched in the future.

Lu Ximing's overall strategic view is very clear, and the application of tactics is not complicated.But the three imperial generals listened very seriously.I have to admit that if there is a reliable person in the alliance, it is undoubtedly the commander-in-chief.

Generally speaking, Lu Ximing's plan is to disperse the federal fleet and force it back to the edge of the center defense area, use the three defensive celestial bodies to coordinate operations, and rely on the advantage of terrain to balance the disadvantage in the number of warships.

In order to smoothly lead the federal fleet to the edge of the center defense zone, Lu Ximing designed a tactic, a tactic that looks simple, but it is very likely to succeed when you think about it.

"Will the federation fleet in the central star field really believe that the fleet from the Willan Newt defense area has arrived? Even if they believe this, it will not be easy to convince them that the fleets are double-teamed, right? .” Hearing Lu Ximing’s tactical plan, Sisti first raised a question.

"If the inducing plot is done well, even if they have doubts, they will eventually believe it." Lu Ximing replied, "This requires everyone to act according to the arrangement. We need to dispatch some of our limited troops to the edge of Center to act , then the most important part is to be able to resist the federal fleet from attacking Sinas during this period of time."

"The investment of all the troops may not necessarily win the final victory. After mobilizing a part of the troops, how can it be possible to resist the federal fleet from entering Sinas?" Sisti still has doubts about Lu Ximing's plan.

"Faced with this situation, we can only assume that all fleets can exert 120% of their own strength. Facing a situation where we will lose on paper, we can only act like this." Facing Sisti's question, Lu Ximing replied after being silent for a while.

"Then, what is the method of distributing the forces of these two routes?" Lin Jian asked her first question.

"I want to choose one of the three to stay in the central star field. The other two fleets and my two fleets will go to the edge of Center." Lu Ximing replied, his eyes flicked from the faces of the three imperial generals. With a swipe, "Which one should be sent to stay in the central star field, how about the three of you agreeing on your own?"

"Then I will!" Before Lin Jian and Sisti could speak, Lieutenant General Frank answered first.

"Your Mightiness!"

"Your Mightiness!"

Sisti and Lin Jian spoke out at the same time, trying to stop Lieutenant General Frank.All three of them understood that it was more dangerous to stay in the central star field to fight than to go to the center border.

"Lin Jian, you are still a little young. Although you performed well in the civil war, you are still worse than me in terms of experience, right?" The two young generals said, "And Sisti, the Ninth Fleet experienced a fierce battle not long ago. Even if you can recover, the soldiers are probably very tired. So it is up to you to stay in the central star field. me."

Looking at the three people who were arguing at this time, Lu Ximing was filled with emotion.Compared with the powerful federal government and the Galactic Empire, which has just acquired a new emperor, the alliance government really has nothing to offer.

It's just that he was born in the alliance government, which is his motherland, so he can only do everything he can to protect this country, prevent the country from disappearing in the Milky Way Age, and save the citizens from being displaced.

"Lieutenant General Lu! We have made your strategic policy clear. As for the imperial fleet staying in the central star field to fight, we will reply as soon as possible after contacting our headquarters." In view of the endless debate, Lin Jian simply said so.

Lu Ximing did not object, and turned off the communication after saluting.

Three hours later, he received a reply, and the Seventh Fleet led by Lieutenant General Frank and the Sixth Fleet of the Empire stayed in the central star field.And the eighth.The Ninth Fleet and the two alliance fleets headed for the edge of the center defense zone.
