EVE: Starting with a Space Station
Chapter 279 Battle of Betales - Tragic Victory and Response
When the last dreadnought of the Freedom Camp was destroyed, a burst of excited cheers suddenly broke out in the fleet of the Betales Federation.
For the first time in decades, they won the battle against the Freedom Camp on the front battlefield.
Looking back on the miserable time when they were helpless against several pirates in the past, it seemed like a lifetime ago.
Facing this situation, although Lao Qian was proud, he was more worried in his heart.
This victory was also a bitter victory.
The Betales Federation sent the Second Mixed Fleet and the First Dreadnought Fleet to fight the larger force with fewer troops, leaving behind the two dreadnought fleets of the Freedom Camp, and even four of its regular fleets.
But the price was also extremely heavy.
At present, more than half of the Second Dreadnought Fleet has been lost. Although the dreadnoughts of the Second Mixed Fleet have not suffered much loss, the regular fleet has suffered more than 80% of its losses!
The loss of the battleship is still a small matter. The key point is the loss of the pilot, which is the most important.
The population base and war potential of the Betales Federation are here, and the loss of each driver is irreversible for them.
So now, after the battle, the second mixed fleet can only retreat and rest, and send the third or fourth mixed fleet up, but cannot add troops.
Because they have no reserve troops at all.
And facing Frederick McKee's defeat, Michael Blake suddenly felt extremely fortunate.
"Damn, New Eden actually traded this thing to Betales, fortunately I was cautious!"
He couldn't help but be cautious!
This time it was Frederick McKee who stepped on the mine for them, and almost all the arrangements and territories of the Betales Federation were overturned, which made their next arrangements much easier.
"Commander-in-chief, do you want us to report New Eden?"
A staff officer thought for a while and said.
After all, this New Eden is a member of their Justice Order, and they obeyed the leadership of the Justice Order to come to the Betales Star Region to resist the Freedom Camp. This New Eden gave the Shadow Iron Cavalry carrier-based aircraft, a powerful weapon, to the Betales Federation. Isn't this aiding the enemy? !
Moreover, even the current military fortresses and main battleships of the Betales Federation are the work of New Eden. You can find out by just checking, and New Eden has no secrets about these.
And the Betales Federation's dreadnought with a somewhat unreasonable defense, although they have never seen it before, it is definitely related to New Eden!
Otherwise, a civilization that couldn't even deal with a few pirates a year and a half ago has become a force that can fight on two fronts with ease in less than half a year, and the opponent is still their two major camps. If this has nothing to do with New Eden, who would dare to believe it?
"Report! Must report!" Michael Black said immediately, "Report this matter to the Justice Order Trial Court immediately, and ask New Eden to immediately stop all kinds of support to the Betales Federation."
Although he knew that this approach would probably be useless, as long as New Eden could not come openly and reduce support, his pressure would not be so great.
Otherwise, New Eden would continue to sell [Shadow Iron Cavalry] to the Betales Federation, and I don't know how many more dreadnoughts they would lose to this thing.
Thinking of something, Michael Black stopped the staff officer who was about to leave and added another sentence.
"Report to the Supreme Command again, and say that I suspect New Eden also traded the super aircraft carrier to the Betales Federation, and ask the headquarters to send someone to New Eden to investigate."
To be honest, although he knew that this possibility was very small, facing the series of things from the Betales Federation, he didn't dare to bet whether New Eden would be so crazy.
Besides, it would be great if the headquarters could send someone to delay New Eden's actions against the Betales Federation. After all, New Eden borders the Betales Federation, and they can just go straight in and rob the ancient ruins without any martial ethics. They have no way to deal with it.
And this is what Michael Blake is most worried about.
The staff officer immediately understood and took the order.
"Yes!"
When the staff officer left, the meeting room became lively again.
"Commander-in-chief, judging from the battle in the Dazzling Fortress, the mixed fleet of the Betales Federation is really hard to deal with. The conventional main fleet will be defeated, and the dreadnought fleet will be easily attacked from three sides by the mixed fleet, dreadnoughts and the shadow cavalry in the fortress.
The whole fortress is like an iron road, which is not easy to deal with!"
A fleet captain looked at the battle in the Dazzling Fortress, analyzed the Betales Federation, and frowned.
It must be said that Lao Qian's mixed fleet is really smart.
Especially now that the Betales Federation is in a defensive posture and will not take the initiative to attack, facing this situation, they feel a little helpless.
In response, Michael Blake showed a confident smile.
"Don't worry about this, I already have a countermeasure."
Everyone was a little surprised.
"Oh, what is the commander-in-chief's countermeasure?"
"You'll know when the stuff arrives in a while."
Michael Blake smiled and shook his head, making a riddle.
After that, without waiting for others to ask, Michael Blake continued: "The main task at present is no longer to break through the fortress, but to try every means to consume the manpower of the Betales Federation. They can't have troops replenished at any time like us, and one less driver is one less."
After the battle of the Dazzling Fortress, facing the Shadow Iron Cavalry, he no longer thought about breaking through the fortress quickly, and he didn't believe that Frederick McKee could break through the defense line with his current strength, so before the stuff he applied for arrived, he would not have any decisive large-scale attack.
"But if the people of the Betales Federation stay within the defense range of the fortress to avoid the battle, we have no way to do it!"
A fleet captain touched his bald head and couldn't help saying.
The Betales Federation is not stupid, and it has been staying within the defense range of the military fortress since the war began, and will not take the initiative to fight.
If they take the initiative to go, the defeat of the Freedom Camp will be their fate.
Michael Black smiled slightly.
"I have ordered people to modify the equipment of several fleets' Exorcist-class heavy assault ships. Their attack range has now increased by nearly ten times. We can attack outside the attack range of the military fortress."
"But wouldn't this reduce the attack and defense power of the Exorcist-class to the extreme?"
Some people were very surprised.
You know, although there are equipment that can increase the attack range, it will occupy the original equipment position, which will greatly reduce the defense of the warship, and even the attack power will be greatly reduced.
If they officially fight, it will be a bit of a loss!
"Don't worry, the goal of these specially modified fleets is not to fight the main battle, but to consume the opponent's manpower from a distance. If the opponent wants to fight in close combat, just retreat directly."
In game terms, Michael Black's trick is called: free firepower!
emmm, something happened, let me finish it first, there will be another chapter later.
Please forgive me, everyone, Qiuli Gao!
