In the study, quietly.A five-metre-tall dark brown-coloured wooden bookcase occupies half of the walls of the study.On it, it is neatly lined with all kinds of books.No matter how the times progress, human beings still seem to maintain some traditions that seem completely abandonable, such as watches, and these fragile but heavy paper books.E-books, e-documents, ubiquitous networking, home-grade computers......
These can be substitutes for paper books, but in the end, they are still themselves, and no one replaces anyone.In some ways, humans are extremely stubborn.There are not a few people who like to sit on a recliner, bask in the sun, hold a thick book, smell the fragrance of books, and immerse themselves in a comfortable walk or the free flight of thoughts.The little kid couldn't understand this.As a sapient being able to roam freely in the textual information of human beings even greater than the universe, it really couldn't figure out why it was lying on a chair with a huge tome that was not much smaller than its own body.Could it be that this is the irrational behavior of people's surnames?
Sighing, the little kid put some "spit" in his mouth with his hand a little melancholy, turned the page of the book in his hand, maintained a standard reading posture, and looked up at Russell, who was standing on the bookcase sliding escalator: "Dude......
When will it come out, have you made up your mind?
”Russell flipped through a reference book on interstellar navigation technology, and after a while, he glanced back at the little kid and put the book back in its place: "What, in a hurry to get out of here?"
”"That's not it," the little boy's fingers rubbed between his white feet, "I'm afraid that the fat man won't be able to hold on." ”Seeing that the idiot who would not have itchy skin or athlete's foot for 10,000 years, withdrew his finger and put it under his nose, and frowned, sniffing, sniffing, Russell couldn't help but smile bitterly and walked down the escalator.It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, but he really can't tell who is darker, the little boy or the fat man......
These two guys are the public enemy of all human grace.Walk slowly to the desk.On the silver-white desktop of the light metal structure, the virtual screen of the central computer is silently suspended.The staggered rays form an interstellar map of the Longbow Galaxy, a map of the Bermuda Passage, and a battle plan that includes the deduction process.Russell stared at the virtual screen and sighed silently.He had seen these things on the screen many times, but he couldn't make up his mind after all.It was a difficult decision.The text part of the plan was transmitted by Tian Xingjian through the civilian network.Because all the civil network information in the Bermuda galaxy is under the detection of the Western Skynet.Therefore, this battle plan is simple, with only a few data and a few place names.That's enough, though.For a few days, through the civilian network, Russell has learned a little about everything that was born in the Longbow system.At first, this information did not allow him to make any decisions based on it.For a commander, such information is too little and too inaccurate.Without professional military intelligence, using such information as a basis for decision-making is simply suicide.However, once this information is combined with the fat man's plan, there is an immediate chemical reaction.With Russell's military qualities, it is not difficult to deduce the fat man's entire plan.Obviously, the fat man originally wanted to use the Nineteenth Fleet of Feiyang to attack the Longbow System and complete the rendezvous with the Zangfeng Fleet.However, the appearance of the Binalte Imperial fleet disrupted the fat man's plan.Now, the Longbow Galaxy is still in the hands of the Feiyang fleet, and the battle between the two sides is still in the process.And if the Tibetan Front Fleet wants to break through Bermuda and the Longbow Galaxy and enter the southeast main channel, it must take advantage of the time difference between the Jeppen fleet to mobilize from the country to Bermuda.Otherwise, when the Fyan fleet is defeated or leaves the Longbow system, and when the Jeppen fleet fills the entire Bermuda passage to the Longbow system, the Hidden Front fleet will lose this golden opportunity.However, there is one most critical point in the whole plan.That is, the Binalte Imperial fleet must be entangled to the death, or be defeated!
Otherwise, once the whereabouts of the Tibetan Front fleet are exposed, it is likely to face the encirclement and interception of Xiyue!
You don't have to think about it to know how shocked and annoyed they will be when hundreds of Lelei warships in West York break through the Bermuda jump point and move towards the Longbow Galaxy.It is certain that the Binalt Imperial fleet will not hesitate to turn back and block.When the time comes, it will immediately be a sandwich situation.Even if you can contact the Feiyang fleet to flank the Binarte Imperial fleet, but the advantage of strength and terrain, in the hands of others, the most dangerous is the Lelei fleet!
Russell didn't dare to make a decision easily, he had to be responsible for the hundreds of warships he led, more than 100,000 Lelei officers and soldiers.The loss of any irrational decision is unacceptable to the entire Leray nation.In these words, Russell's eyes always conjured up the figures of the elite politicians of Le Ray who had put this fleet in the hands of his own Gachalin, the elite of the country, wise, open-minded, far-sighted, and courageous.Many of these figures have dissipated.However, in Russell's mind, it was so vivid.It was the end of the troubled times, a light shining with hope.It was under the leadership of these elites that Le Ray has held out until now.He couldn't live up to that trust.This is already the last force of this country, and if he is buried here, then he will never forgive himself!
Russell had never felt so much of his responsibility.Since learning of Hamilton's death, this responsibility has become more and more heavy.Although Leray is not his homeland, this strong country has become an inseparable part of his life.He had to make sure that the fat man could hold back the Binalt Imperial fleet!
It was this question that made him hesitate.The strategic goals of the Fyan's fleet and their own position were already doomed to fail.The only one who can accomplish this task is the fat man.But the current fat man, even if he defeats Mars, it is impossible to have an A-class fleet.His opponent is the Royal Elephant-class fleet of the Binarte Empire!
It's like hoping for a pigeon's egg, hoping it will smash a huge rock!
No matter how you look at it, this plan also has a bit of an all-or-nothing flavor.If that's the case, it's better to ......
"Do you want to take advantage of the excitement of the Longbow Galaxy, sneak attack the Leray Central Star Field, and lead the fleet to the Newton System?"
”The sudden sound of the little boy hit Russell's heart at once.He turned his head abruptly."
Intellectually speaking...... the little kid rubbed his feet unremittingly, and said in his mouth: "I agree with you, after all, that fat man has always messed around, who knows if he is sure this time......
However, looking back, you probably didn't want to bring you back to the Newton galaxy and follow the old path when you spent so much effort to build this fleet?
”Russell sat down quietly in his office chair and didn't speak.He knew better than anyone why this fleet was born and what its mission was.Although Hamilton did not mention it in his speech to Congress, it was clearly written in the secret report of the High Command that this was a fleet to preserve Leray's last wish to be formed, and it was also a fleet to cooperate with Professor Boswell's interstellar hopping point technology.Survive in the gap between the West and the Filipino League.Wait until the victory of the Filipino Alliance, or wait until Boswell teaches the maturity of interstellar jumping technology, and thus become the basis for Leray's resurgence.This is the mission of this fleet!
In other words, the future of this fleet is to grow, not to do unnecessary attrition in this war that Le Lei can no longer afford to play!
Since you can't go backwards, you can only go forward.It was the wish of everyone, including Hamilton, to hand over the command of this fleet and the reading force to him.Since the coup d'état, the supply fleet has been cut off, and there is little food and water left.The Tibetan Front fleet had to make a choice.The past, like a movie clip, flashed through Russell's mind.Whether it was in Milo, in Gachalin, or in the Freeport of Mars, the fat man who was timid and afraid of death, honest in appearance, obscene in appearance, and whimsical in thinking, never let himself down.Russell's hand reached for the instant communication button of the command system, and although he still couldn't figure out how the weak bandit fleet could defeat the Binarte Imperial fleet in that asteroid belt that was rolling in the light of the stars, he decided to trust his students......
The only student!"
As a logical artificial intelligence, you believe in fat people so much?"
Before pressing the communication button, Russell looked at the little kid and asked faintly.The little kid closed the book, the baby's fat little face was raised, rolled down, and a pair of big black eyes were full of helplessness: "Brother, that's the most feared death, the most shameless, and the luckiest dead fat man in the world."
Since he dared to give a plan, it proved that he was sure. ”"You're right!"
Russell couldn't help but wonder: "This is a crucial battle for the entire Filipino League, although I don't understand how he can win, but I think that guy may be able to perform a miracle again."
Let alone......
And us!
”Outside the door, the footsteps of the staff officer on duty sounded.Looking at Russell, who was looking at the interstellar map, the smile on his face gradually turned cold: "......
If you want to beat me, you can't just be higher than me on the list of famous players!
”In the early morning of September 9, 2o63, the first column of the Feiling Group fleet of the Binalt Empire entered the jump point of the Longbow Galaxy, occupied the airspace of the jump point, and dispersed the defense.At 1 a.m., the reconnaissance ship went out to the middle of the surrounding jump passage and the obstacle area to be on alert.At 3 o'clock in the morning, the second column and the third column of the Feiling fleet completed their jumps one after another.Leaving behind a large group of warships to guard the jump point, the group fleet immediately advanced to the Bluestone Star search under Humphrey's orders.At 6:2o, the three columns of the Feiyu Fleet completed the jump, joined forces with the first brigade of the third column of Feiling that remained behind, and slowly pressed towards the Blue Stone Star.At 1o o'clock in the morning, the Binalt Imperial Fleet reconnaissance ship was the first to enter the airspace of Bluestone, and after determining that the Feiyang fleet stationed on Bluestone had left, it searched and advanced along the Feiyang retreat line and sent the news back to the fleet.After receiving the information, Humphrey did not hesitate to order the leading fleets to turn to Torrecles.At 11:25 a.m., the cruiser Karlsruhe, the first group of the second column of the Fringe fleet, was on the back side of a planet at coordinates 115o2.74oo1.38325.6.Five minutes later, the first wave of attacks hit the cruiser [Karlsruhe], and the battleship suffered heavy damage.Without any foreshadowing, this battle in the Southeast Longbow Galaxy, which gathered the attention of the entire human world and was destined to go down in history, kicked off in this way.It is a long, narrow and congested interstellar shipping lane.The two obstacle zones, almost overlapping each other, are only two million kilometers in between.Cosmic dust and gas permeated the entire shipping lane.As far as the eye can see, there are clusters of colors all around.The vagaries of gravitational reefs, the amount of radiation and particle storms, and the high migration of asteroids make this section of the passage particularly dangerous.Over the years, there have been an unknown number of spaceships, from Bluestone to Torrecles, that have fallen victim to this passage.Every time they see the wreckage in the asteroid belt, every navigator warns themselves not to repeat the mistakes of those ships.However, every year, many ships still crash here.And now, here, it has become a battlefield.In the command room of the [Oracle] aircraft carrier, the bandit officers and soldiers silently looked at the brown planet that occupied the entire screen on the huge virtual screen.The Fyan detachment and the forward brigade of the Binarte Empire are fighting fiercely against this planet as a backdrop.The battleship hovered high.The warships of both sides formed a triangular attack formation.While keeping a distance and moving high, I fired quickly.The blue ionic light stream, in the brown planet, resembles two swarms of flying fireflies.And the criss-crossing energy cannon light is far more dazzling than the streamer of the ion thruster.When the light filaments gathered by the energy cannon were violently sprayed out, the entire universe was illuminated by the light of destruction.Margaret stared blankly at the virtual screen.For her, such a skirmish is nothing.No matter how gorgeous it is, she's seen it all.However, she couldn't figure it out.What kind of method did that reconnaissance ship wielding live video used to lurk in the center of this battlefield......
Yes, that's not high-powered optical photography hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.It was almost a shot from the sides of the warring parties.In the closer-in picture, the faces of the people in the portholes of the battleships of the Binalte Imperial Fleet can be seen clearly.She looked at the completely enclosed porthole of the Oracle, and then turned back to look at the fat man.The fat man sat quietly on the podium.On the console computer in front of him, the battle progression line was divided into five sections, and the first stage had been dyed red.Margaret knew that when the Fyan fleet was retreating in the blockade, and when Douglas was unable to form a strategic advantage in the fifth phase of the battle, then, after the last blockade, the bandit army would attack.
