Him and their stars

At this moment, Yeager Soback suddenly felt that everyone on the bridge was looking at him.

Of course he understood why everyone was like this. At this time, his fleet, the twenty-four battleships and the 28,000 members on board, were all in a rather embarrassing situation. At this moment, if the Earthlings' fleet comes with malicious intentions and attacks us from another direction, we will definitely face disaster. In other words, they can choose to be darker, hide on the side and watch the tiger fight, and wait until both sides are hurt before taking action.

In this case, the commander on the empire's side needs to make a wise decision.

Sobek was in a dilemma. Tell yourself rationally that war is not about fighting and killing, but war is about human nature. The empire and the community have not broken up, and the Thirteenth Fleet on the opposite side should still be a friendly force. However, as a contented person, he really did not dare to place his hopes on the character of the person opposite him.

Fortunately, before he hesitated for a few seconds, the Thirteenth Fleet on the opposite side did not even move closer to our side, but rushed straight towards the drone carrier over there.

At the same time, the Aurora also brought several Ranger-class cruisers and dropped strong photon interference bombs towards the target.

"Well, the people on earth are still friendly forces." Serlu sighed: "It is true that as you said, the people on earth also have warriors who value their sense of honor and will not take advantage of others' danger. However, we can also take advantage of it. Look, is the other party really practicing some new tactics? By the way, there are also those new assault ships."

Unfortunately, although the eight new assault ships formed an independent combat unit, they were always on standby near the two large aircraft carriers. The Earthlings' strong photon jamming bombs did have an effect, causing a large number of drones to lose control in a short period of time and turn into headless flies hovering in place.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fleets released by the two aircraft carriers rushed towards the round drone carrier.

The most conspicuous among them is the team of White Devil fighter jets equipped with light-wing equipment.

They seemed to be holding daggers in their hands, moving strangely and swiftly like assassins. In an instant, they rushed within the warning range of the drone mothership and threw anti-matter bombs at close range.

12 rounds of anti-matter bombs, a total of three hits. If we hadn't zoomed in to this distance, it would have been almost impossible to achieve this kind of hit rate given the anti-jamming capabilities and maneuverability of these ancient drones.

The three anti-matter bombs did not cause fatal damage to the unmanned mothership, and even only removed its shield and a ring of armor. However, this is enough for the other Earth fighters that are coming over. Like a swarm of crazy wasps, they attacked a bull whose fur had been ripped off and began to bleed it.

"Your Excellency, we should also have that kind of equipment." Lieutenant Colonel Pegese said to Sobek.

"...Oh, you are referring to the White Phantom fighter?"

"The performance of the fighter jet is excellent, but at most it can only reach 90% of that of my country's new Zidian Dragon fighter jet." Lieutenant Colonel Peggese shook his head and said: "What really brings about revolutionary progress is actually the new accessory components."

"Well, that's called a light wing. However, if you add this kind of thing to a fighter plane, it will increase the difficulty of the overall maintenance of the aircraft carrier, and of course it will also have an impact on the number of aircraft it can carry." Miss Serlu said.

The lieutenant colonel nodded, but then said: "But it is all worth it. I have checked all the achievements of this fighter squadron in the past year's battles. I personally feel that if the people on earth are not equipped with only one squadron, But several brigades, which may play a decisive role in the fleet battle."

Sobek is a little hard to understand. He is just an orthodox officer, and naturally a believer in the orthodox cannon and giant ship doctrine. He has always believed that small battleships and fighter planes are used for auxiliary purposes. Like the waving and shouting auxiliaries and servants following the knight.

Lieutenant Colonel Peggese said: "If I have to give an example, the previous fighters might just be auxiliary archers holding soft bows. They could harass the military formation, but they could not cause effective damage to the heavily armored knights. But if this is the case, Fighter…”

"Have you become an elite crossbow-wielding archer?" Sellu asked.

The new captain of the Blizzard said: "It's probably not to that level yet. It's more like a kamikaze with an armor-breaking cone. After all, these drones are only civilian models and have no specialized air defense capabilities. As for the Predator warship itself, They are also very extreme in design. Most of them have extremely strong firepower and gang-hopping capabilities. They are strong in attack and weak in defense. They are very afraid of dogfights by small airframes. This is the White Phantom fighter of the people on earth, which can attack its own side with almost no damage. Under such circumstances, it is the reason for such military exploits. If we encounter our close defense network composed of Holy Shield class and Iron Guard class, even if we can get close quickly with this light wing, the casualties will definitely be huge. But..."

"But it's worth it, right?" Soback said.

Lieutenant Colonel Peggese nodded: "Even if a hundred fighters are sacrificed, 20% of them can break through the defense network and drop anti-matter bombs, and it is possible to severely damage a Dreadnought. This kind of battle loss ratio is so worth it."

Soback thinks this makes sense.

Serlu on the other side seemed to be thinking more, and immediately showed a heavy expression: "Sir, your new paper should preferably include an evaluation of this new type of equipment and countermeasures."

Why is this paper getting so complicated before I even start writing it? Sobek was so cautious that he started to cool off.

"...However, if we are asked to introduce models from Earth, it would be difficult for the gentlemen of the Generalissimo's Palace to accept it!" Sellu said.

"Yes, even just introducing light wing equipment is very difficult." Lieutenant Colonel Peggese also sighed. Before he became the captain, he had been serving in the central organization of the Generalissimo's Office, and he was very aware of the bureaucratic habits in the central department.

In other words, all large organizations with a long history will inevitably suffer from this problem. This does not depend on whether the Tirero people have strong martial virtues.

"Unless the person responsible for the matter in the Generalissimo's Mansion is His Highness King Suliuka." Soback said casually.

As soon as he said this, it was not easy for others to answer. Lieutenant Colonel Peggese simply focused all his attention on combat command, as if the conversation just now had never happened. After Miss Serlu pondered for half a minute, she bit her lip and whispered: "Your Excellency, I personally cannot represent my family, but I can represent myself. If you really make a decision, we old people Your subordinates will follow your decision."

Soback also felt that he had just said something extraordinary casually, and he immediately shuddered greatly.

Fortunately, there are other situations at the scene that can divert attention.

No, when Earth's first wave of fighter jets ran out of ammunition and began to return, the fire on the spherical drone carrier became more intense. But in this case, isn’t the head equivalent to being robbed by the people on earth?

The Imperial Army officers and soldiers were freed from the sense of crisis of being flanked by two sides, and immediately realized the problem, and everyone began to move forward bravely.

In this way, the target being attacked from both sides became the drone mothership and its fleet that had entered the galaxy randomly.

The scale of this ancient drone swarm is indeed huge. Even in the Battle of the Dawn Star Territory, the soldiers of the expeditionary force rarely encountered such a large group of enemy aircraft. In addition to the A-type attack aircraft that use short-range disintegration, cutting and impact, and the B-type that uses short-range cutting lasers and far-reaching light speeds, there are also many C-type attack aircraft that can project rail artillery shells and electromagnetic interference missiles.

It has been difficult for the senior leaders of the coalition to understand that since these drones are used for mining, what is this type C equipped with military weapons?

All I can say is that it is designed to protect against pirates and space beasts. Who can guarantee that there will be no pirates in the era of the Enlightened Ones?

If a fleet of this size appeared on the most intense battlefield of the Battle of the Dawn Star Territory and cooperated with the complete fleet of predators, it might really cause trouble for the main fleet of the expeditionary force. But now, no matter how numerous they are, they have indeed been reduced to a category of "space beasts". Faced with the two-sided attack from the Community and the Empire, these drones would not even run away or hit the troops to deal with them all the way. They would just be exhausted in the pull, and then perished in the fierce artillery fire.

Three hours later, after paying a total of less than 200 casualties and five warships suffering minor injuries, both fleets finally met victoriously beside the wreckage of the fallen drone carrier.

"Thank you for your support." Soback said.

"No, thanks to your army's frontal combat, it gave us the opportunity to outflank." Marklov said.

"It's a perfect match."

"Yes, it's the same as countless battles in the Dawn Star Territory."

"Want to come over for a drink?"

"why not?"

Then, the two commanders laughed at the same time.

This is called worldliness! Miss Serlu on the side couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Then, the two sides began to exchange information candidly.

According to the Thirteenth Fleet, after speeding up to get rid of... and splitting up with friendly forces, they left the main channel of the New World Highway and prepared to go to some branch channels to observe. You know, the pirates who are driven out of the main channel by the patrol fleet can only scatter towards nearby unmanned systems. These pirates are like acne. Even if they are quickly eliminated, they will always thrive as long as there is oil and water.

Then, the Thirteenth Fleet discovered this group of drones in the D-4-188 system on the New World Highway branch 20 hours ago. However, they did not take the initiative to attack the people on Earth, but started directly towards the main channel.

If these rampaging killing machines were allowed to enter the main waterway where there are many civilian ships, the consequences would be disastrous. The Thirteenth Fleet pursued them all the way.

Fortunately, the drone swarm did not rush to the main channel in the end, but encountered the imperial fleet in an unmanned system that was three jumps away from the main channel.

Then there was this jungle battle with two sides attacking.

"However, we always feel that the other party's transfer is not blind, but has a certain purpose." Major General Marklov said: "Could it be for your army?"

Soback was not sure for a moment whether the other party was joking or serious, so he could only make a thinking expression like a reflex: "This is not scientific, and of course it does not conform to our past combat experience."

"So, I'm just guessing. Hahahaha, maybe people just start to have random thoughts as they get older?"

“If these drones are only going to attack us, who stands to gain the most?”

The two fleet (real) commanders, who were two generations apart, looked at each other and burst into hearty laughter again. The two of them had no idea why they were laughing, but if they didn't laugh at this time, it seemed like it wouldn't end well.

All in all, the battle was almost perfect both in process and result. The only fly in the ointment was the heavily damaged armed merchant ship Candide. These out-of-control ancient drones no matter whether they are in front of a warship or a merchant ship, they only pay attention to the equality of all beings when attacking. In other words, because the merchant ship was hit by a bomb at the beginning, its movements immediately slowed down, and it suffered more attacks in a short period of time.

So, when the battle ended, this fat armed merchant ship had been broken into two parts in the middle, lost all energy responses, and completely reduced to space junk.

"What a pity. As soldiers, it is our duty to protect the people! However, we can only watch the people being massacred and do nothing." The imperial officers expressed their guilt.

"But, in this case, will the spices on the ship become ownerless?" Another officer said.

"...You are really nothing! What's the difference between touching a corpse and eating a dead family?"

"But, the registration of this ship is with the Alliance."

"Oh, that's no problem."

Even so, Soback sent a rescue team in the direction of the wreckage of the ship out of the basic conscience of a living person. After learning about it, the Earth side also made the same move.

They later rescued more than 20,000 tons of spices in space containers from the wreckage of the ship, plus thirty more survivors. However, after a random face recognition, it was found that half of these people were on the wanted list, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became subtle.

As a result, the twenty thousand tons of spices were added one to five, and the empire and the community were divided into half. The happy scene of the two armies getting together suddenly became beautiful.

Sobek was in a particularly good mood. I originally thought I would buy it at a reasonable price, but now it's become a free prostitution. Calculated in this way, even if it is only half, it is enough to give bonuses of two to three thousand gold dragons to all the soldiers in the army, and I can still have a lot left.

"I have some connections at the Gate of Glory. How about we sell them together? I'll just charge a 3% handling fee and shipping fee. There's no other way. If it's just me, I can save all this money. But There are so many brothers below, so we don’t dare to be willful." Soback said.

"I understand, I understand, this charge is very reasonable. We can accept it." Marklov said.

"It's just that when you come to the Gate of Glory this time, you should have other formal matters, right? Processing our trophies won't waste your time?" Eleanor Bonaparte said.

"It won't be delayed. You should be worrying too much. We are all very experienced while doing business and doing private work at the same time." Miss Viscount Serlu said.

"Ahahahaha, business is business. It's not easy to collect 10,000 tons, but when it reaches 20,000 tons, it's easy to get a discount. I'll collect the cash directly and send it directly to Tuanxiang when the time comes?" Soback laughed.

"No, no, let's send it to the D17 galaxy on Dawn Road. Then we can make an appointment casually," Marklov said.

"Oh, will you use the Dawn Continent as a security patrol area in the near future?" Sellu said.

"No, no, we are going to plant some mines somewhere. If these drones appear again, they might be killed by themselves," Eleanor said.

"You are really witty. I thought that all graduates of your country's Central Defense University lacked a sense of humor."

"Both and each other, I also thought that the Astral Knights were all majestic and solemn types."

"Ah ha ha ha ha..." Everyone held the wine glasses, laughed and toasted to this great era of increasing prosperity and development. At least at that time, the soldiers of both armies felt that peace was actually very beautiful.
