I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 259

For the humans in the galaxy, especially the alliance government, the very long month of May has finally passed.June followed, and with it came increased artillery fire from the Union fleet.

On June [-], the standard time was already three o'clock in the morning.Lieutenant General Frank standing on the flagship still did not get a good night's sleep.The artillery fire of the Federation Fleet has become very violent since it was rekindled.The ultimate goal of this battle is to lead the federal fleet in the central star field to the defensive celestial body outside the center defense zone. Before the decoy starts to work, the fleet remaining in the central star field must resist the enemy's artillery fire.

A good trap must follow the trend and cannot be copied mechanically.A trap in a dense forest can trap the most cunning fox, but a big pit in a square can only trap a blind man who cannot see.

In order to let the Federal Fleet in the central star field step into the trap, the Eighth Fleet set out for the outskirts of Center on the date when another Federal Fleet approached the Center defense zone—a date calculated according to the distance between the two zones.

However, the opponent is not obliged to cooperate with this time, so resisting the opponent's attack within the time difference is the biggest difficulty of this mission.

"Your Excellency, please rest for a while." The female adjutant stood under the steps of the bridge with a plate in her hand, "The most difficult period has passed, why are you still so disturbed?"

"Even if the chief officer seems very disturbed, don't say it." Hearing what the female adjutant said, Lieutenant General Frank showed a smile on his tired face. Holding a plate of sandwiches and a glass of warm brandy, he walked to the console and sat down in one of the vacant seats.This position belongs to the captain of the flagship Heildam. The continuous long-term battle made the old captain a little bit unbearable. Under the strong order of Lieutenant General Frank, the old colonel finally agreed to leave the bridge and go to the dormant cabin to rest for two hours. .It's just that Lieutenant General Frank ordered the female adjutant to watch to adjust the time of his dormant cabin by two hours.

"Well, your cooking skills have improved." Lieutenant General Frank, who was munching on the sandwich, nodded in praise of the sandwich, but the female adjutant who received the compliment did not show a complacent expression on her face, but frowned.

"Your Excellency, please don't gobble it up like this, it will put a lot of burden on the digestive system."

"I wish I only had to worry about my digestive system now. Come on, Maya, go and have a rest." After swallowing the sandwich in two or three bites, Lieutenant General Frank held up the wine glass half filled with the amber liquid and pointed at the woman. The adjutant indicated.

Looking at the back of the female adjutant leaving the bridge, the relaxed look on Vice Admiral Frank's face also disappeared.He took a sip of the warm liquid in his wine glass and relaxed his body against the back of the chair.After a while, he finally let out a heavy sigh.

[Lieutenant General Frank... Do you really think that the so-called impenetrable defensive celestial body can resist foreign aggression?Can we really, or must we rely on this kind of thing to defeat the invaders from the Federation? 】

[After thousands of years, do humans really think that all dangers can be excluded with a so-called great fortification? 】

[This kind of thing is there, the biggest function is to provide a breakthrough for the other party.For our own side, what is even more terrifying is the arrogance and complacency formed by this. 】

Lin Jian said these words to him when the Eighth Fleet left the central star field and headed for the edge of the center defense area.Lieutenant General Frank admitted that before this, he had never considered such a thing, never thought that the existence of the alliance government's defensive celestial body would be as stupid as Lin Jian said.

But now that I think about it, who said it wasn't?

No matter who wants to attack the alliance government, these three defensive celestial bodies will never be ignored. Even a rookie who has just graduated from a military academy will tell you seriously that the first thing to do if you want to attack the alliance government is to deal with it. The three defensive celestial bodies located on the periphery of the center defense zone.Then he will triumphantly tell you all the statistics about the three defensive ladders and how to attack him.

Although these are obviously just young people's unrealistic ideas on paper, it is undeniable that since these three defensive celestial bodies appeared in their positions, the research on them has never stopped.

These three defensive celestial bodies are no secret to the empire and the federal government.

Forget it...

Lieutenant General Frank put the empty wine glass back on the dinner plate. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the brows that were tense due to frequent wrinkling these days, and then stood up from his seat.Now that the tactics have been specified in this way, what you can do now is to do what you should do well, and changing orders day and night is the bigger military taboo.

"Your Excellency! The Federation Fleet launched an attack again!"

"The fleet rises [-] kilometers, look down at [-] degrees and start to fight back!" Seeing the thickness of the opposite fleet, Lieutenant General Frank ordered.A new round of offensive and defensive warfare has begun.After a short period of dormancy, the central star field was once again lit up by the flames of war.

On June [-]th, at [-]:[-] a.m. standard time, the Federal Fleet, which had gradually gained an advantage in the battle of the Central Star Field, received the first communication from the periphery of the center defense zone.

Since the beginning of the war, the central star field has been dominated by multiple silence fields, and all optical and electromagnetic communication is blocked.The news from the outside is all transmitted manually, and the space shuttle is the only means of connecting the inside and outside.

"You said that Admiral Stapleton led the fleet to the outskirts of Center, and was flanked by the Alliance and the Imperial fleet at this time, asking for our support?" Dassett Suseklan looked at the signal soldier standing in front of him, with a gloomy expression. The complexion made the entire flagship bridge quiet down.

"Yes! General Stapleton had arrived at the perimeter of the center defense area on June [-], but was caught in an ambush by the Empire and Alliance fleet on the perimeter."

"Has the fleet passing through the Weilanuit defense zone reached the periphery of the center defense zone at this time?"

"Yes, the entire passage in the Willanuit defense area was almost unresisted. General Willis and General Woodhouse led the fleet to make the final finishing touches to the occupied area, but they were delayed by the defense forces of a local galaxy. . Admiral Stapleton led the fleet at full speed to support."

"Come to support at full speed?" Hearing this, Dasit Susekran sneered, "I'm afraid they came to share a piece of the pie."

"Your Excellency, Admiral Stapleton is a great supporter of this war. This general is very active in the war. Come to support this kind of thing, he can do it." The staff on one side were afraid of this young man. The major general said something unpleasant again, and hastily cut off his words.

"Of course I know the character of this admiral." Dasit Susekran turned to look at the electronic crystal screen on the bridge. On the screen, the opponent's fleet from the Empire was now fighting and retreating. Being pushed again and again, in fact, he did not suffer much loss.Among the few enemy fleets in the central star field, the Seventh Fleet of the Empire is the most troublesome.He was being suffocated with anger, so he couldn't care less about the general who was under siege. "Connect me to Admiral Quinn." After thinking for a while, Dasit Susekran said.

In order to deal with the silent field in the central star field, the Federation Fleet used nearly a thousand engineering ships to set up communication base stations inside the star field, allowing similar fleets to communicate with each other.The fleet led by Admiral Quinn is currently 30 kilometers away, within the reach of communication.

"Your Excellency!" Seeing Admiral Quinn appearing on the screen of the electronic crystal screen, Dasit Susekran raised his hand to salute. "I just received a space shuttle communication from the perimeter of the center defense zone. General Stapleton led the fleet to the center defense zone and was ambushed by the combined empire and alliance fleet ambushing on the periphery. Request our support."

"At this time, how did General Stapleton arrive at the outskirts of Center?" Admiral Quinn obviously also had doubts about this information.

Dasit Susekland explained the communication soldier's explanation to the old general.

"I think this information is very suspicious and should not be trusted." After listening to the explanation, Admiral Quinn quickly made his own judgment. "The central star field is now at a time when the battle is tense, and this is likely to be a strategy for the alliance to deploy troops."

"It's possible." Dassett Sasekland nodded, and rarely refuted the old general's words.But he immediately asked, "But when the decisive battle started in the central star field, there were indeed as many as three fleets that left the central star field and headed towards the periphery of the center defense zone. What does General Quinn think the alliance government intends?"

"Judging from the battle situation at this time, even if the three fleets stay in the central star field at this time, we will win in the end. Although our supply fleet is under attack, we have already occupied several The supply base, the supply problem has been completely resolved. According to General Stapleton’s marching plan, they will arrive here within ten days, and by then, the alliance government will have no ability to resist.” Facing Susekland’s Asked, the old general replied without hesitation, "So, I think that moving the three fleets away from here is the only way for them to solve the current crisis."

Although Admiral Quinn's explanation sounded very reasonable, Dasit Susekran felt something strange in his heart.On the resolution of whether to declare war on the Confederate Government, Admiral Quinn was one of the few senior military officials who opposed this proposal.And for so many years, he is also another candidate for the marshal of the federal government, and his approval rate is second only to his father.General Stapleton was the biggest supporter of his father, Field Marshal Sussexland.

"I think it's better to be more cautious. Although it seems that we have the upper hand in the battle situation in the central star field. However, it is indeed not an ordinary move to deploy three fleets in such a tense situation." Dasit Susek Lan thought about it and replied, although his tone was a little more relaxed, he obviously didn't fully agree with Admiral Quinn's statement.

"In this case, let's send the space shuttle to check the perimeter of the center defense zone." Knowing Dasit Susekland's suspicious character, Admiral Quinn didn't say much, so he had to compromise.After all, in the battle in this area, the only major general is the actual commander.
