Chapter 35 speculates that on February 23, 2064, when the Western Army, under the leadership of Sober, moved south at full speed, and the forward Banning led his troops to storm the Metis system jump point where Russell's fleet was stationed, no one expected that at ten o'clock in the morning on this day, the main force of the bandit fleet had already quietly passed through the Mars Free Passage and attacked the Athena system.At that time, the combined fleets of Puditok and Tatania, led by Long Xiao and Jedinak respectively, launched a new offensive against the Desik fleet stationed on the Golden Fleece.A fierce battle ensued between the two sides near the Nadimak Cluster, which was three jump flights from the Golden Fleece.In the sixth hour of the battle, the left fleet led by Long Xiao collapsed, which immediately affected the Jedinak division on the right.The combined fleets of the two countries, interspersed by the middle of the Desik fleet, were isolated and had to abandon the jump passage behind them and retreat to the obstacle zone in the distance.After carefully confirming the defeat of the enemy, Commander Desik was unwilling to give up this golden opportunity, and decisively ordered the fleet to pursue at full speed, and make sure to completely annihilate the Jedinak headquarters that was dragging behind to cover.Unexpectedly, when the Desik fleet pursued to the EA-691 planetary belt obstacle area, it was suddenly attacked by the bandit fleet that came through the obstacle area.Hundreds of Desik warships were caught off guard by the energy cannons that struck from behind.Unable to turn under the guns of the bandit warships, many commanders of the Desik detachment ordered their warships to speed up their advance, trying to complete a cross-cover tactic with the main fleet that was turning in front of them, and get rid of the unfavorable situation of facing the enemy in the tail.The so-called cross-cover means that the fleets of the side are moving in opposite directions, like two combs, facing each other head-on.This tactic is a conventional evasion tactic chosen by the fleet when encountering a tail attack.Taking advantage of the time before the attacker has time to launch an attack on the forward fleet, the attacked side allows the safe forward or flanking fleet to turn the bow of the ship, set up a formation to meet the enemy, and cover the rear fleet to pass between formations, so as to achieve the purpose of getting rid of the pursuit.What people didn't expect was that this tactic, which had been tested countless times in actual combat, became the culprit that accelerated the collapse of Desik's fleet.Under the almost desperate pursuit of the bandit warships, many noble officers of the Desik tail fleet ignored the friendly ships beside them in order to save their lives, and only accelerated their escape.So much so that when a large number of Desik battleships with a completely scattered formation rushed into the front of the fleet, many of the forward warships had not yet had time to complete the turn.When the defeated combined fleet of Puditok and Tatania joined the warband with a twist of horns, the battle quickly turned into a disaster.The Desik fleet, which was in the center of the encirclement and itself in a state of chaos, was completely powerless, and it took less than six hours for the bandit army and the Tapu combined fleet to completely annihilate the Desik Athena local fleet, the Northeast Theater Fleet, and the Royal Sixth Fleet.After the battle, the Athena system will never see a single Desik ship again!
After that, the bandit army and the combined fleet of the two countries quickly joined forces, and before the Desik people could react, they ignored the Golden Fleece Star held by the Desik army, and went south through the jump channel, directly launching a fierce attack on the Desik capital Zeus system.In less than five days, Desik lost more than twenty A-class fleets one after another, and his vitality was already greatly damaged.In addition, the two group fleets of the capital Zeus system and a large number of B-class and C-class escort fleets were transferred to the Hera system to assist the Banning fleet in attacking Metis, so when the main force of the bandit army and the Tapu coalition attacked the defense of the Desik's capital Zeus system was actually very weak.In a panic, Emperor Derrick Frank.
Bidru ordered all of his fleets to return to the Zeus system with all their might, and asked for help from Banning, who was storming the jump point of the Metis system.As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.Not only was the Western Covenant side in a mess, but even the high-level leaders of the Filipino Alliance were dumbfounded.The bandit army is too ruthless, too desperate, too vicious.The capital of the Desik Empire, it is the symbol of the Desik Empire.Once the capital is breached, the blow to the entire Western Covenant can be imagined.What's more, since the central passage of Lelei has been recaptured by Lelei, in the entire southeast galaxy, there is actually only one foothold in the West Covenant.Whether it is logistical transportation or fleet stationing, it is necessary to use Desik as a forward base.Once the bandit army rushes into Desik's capital, smashes it all indiscriminately, and then takes the Zeus galaxy as the center and wanders around, I am afraid that half of the battle will be lost before it starts!
In addition to the shock, a crazy question arose: "Sober's entire army is heading south, and the 400A-class fleet is like a wolf and a tiger."
With the Naga star Banning as the striker, the momentum is violent.No matter how you look at it, the bandit army is like a little white rabbit under the mouth of a wolf.But......
So spicy and proactive, is it a white rabbit or a fucking rogue rabbit?
”For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on the southeast star field.Everyone is eager to know how Banning, who is at the center of the storm, will respond to the backhand slap in the face of the bandits?
............................................................"
Fatty, what do you think?"
In front of the electronic interstellar map of the battle conference room, Margaret, who tied her long pale blonde hair into a neat ponytail, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the fat man intently with a pair of mysterious and charming green eyes: "Judging from the battle report, the success rate of our army in attacking the Desik Zeus system is very high. ”"If you can attack the Zeus system, then Siyo's face will be lost!"
Admiral Marchi on the side said with a smile, "Besides, Desik is the advance base for the Western Coalition army to go south.More than half of the materials in the early stage of transportation alone are in Desik.Once our army enters the Zeus system, it will be equivalent to laying a nail in the Thor field of Desik. ”Malki's finger moved from the Athena system to the Zeus system: "The two passages for the Western coalition to go south, one is the Zeus system and the other is the Prometheus system.With a dagger on our waist pole, I'm afraid Banning won't be able to sleep steadily!
”"However, the combined fleet of our bandit army and the Tapu coalition army are only more than thirty A-class fleets, and General Long Xiao still has to take care of the defense of the Athena system.Once Sober's fleet arrives, we're afraid we won't be able to hold the Zeus system, right?
”Flavio asked."
Don't guard, just hit and leave!"
Mikhailovich said: "Sobol went south, and the fleet was not able to reach at the same time.Before his main force arrives and launches an assault on the Zeus system, we have plenty of time to devastate the Desik airport, space station, space dock, and space base in Zeus and surrounding galaxies. ”"As long as this strategic objective can be completed within three days, even if we withdraw from the Metis system immediately, Western Covenant knows that it will take more than fifteen days to complete the replenishment of strategic materials.Moreover, in order to support Sauber's army, this plan must be supported by more capacity. ”As he spoke, Mikhailovich looked around and finally put his gaze on the fat man's face: "Now, the only thing we don't know is how Banning will respond!"
”In the conference room, everyone's eyes were on the fat man.Margaret, Fang Xiang and An Lei, who were sitting next to the fat man, couldn't take their eyes off it.Because this battle was under Russell's full command.Secret operational plans, drawn up on the basis of the situation at the front, were not reported to the rear as usual.Therefore, everyone can only analyze through the battle report.Before the fat man rushed back, everyone had been analyzing it for a long time.There are also different opinions about Banning's possible coping tricks.Admiral Markey and Fang Xiang believed that it was inevitable that Banning would return to the army to rescue Desik.After all, allowing Desik to be messed up by the bandit army will not only lead to a lack of supplies after the arrival of the main force of the Western Covenant and cannot immediately go into attack, but also the forward fleet led by him will be in an embarrassment due to the cutting off of logistics channels.Once there is a greater defeat as a result, it will be a heavy blow to Xiyue's ambitious southward strategy.Therefore, for Banning, the safest way now is to use the superior forces at hand, while garrisoning the jump point of the Hera system, return to the Zeus system, and forcefully force the bandit army to withdraw from the Zeus system.Mikhailovich and Margaret are another point of view.They believe that to some extent, Western Covenant is already in a state of difficulty in riding a tiger.If Banning returns to the army at this time, then not only will he not be able to open the passage to the jump point of the central galaxy of Lelei before the arrival of Sober's main force, but he will not be able to take back even the Metis system.Therefore, Banning does not waste time.He would forget about the Desik's call for help, and then concentrate all his forces and launch an attack on Russell's fleet, aiming to defeat or even annihilate Russell's fleet in one fell swoop.As for the strength of the bandit army, Banning obviously knew very well.In the absence of more backup, as long as the Sober fleet is annihilated, it is not only equivalent to opening up the passage to the central system of Lelei, but he can even lead his forces far beyond Sheldon to directly penetrate the southeast passage!
This speculation worried Mihajlovic and Margaret very much.Although they have full confidence in Russell's command ability.However, the surprise attack on the capital of Desik by the main force of the bandit army reduced Russell's forces to a dangerous point.If you want to use more than a dozen A-class fleets to resist the full onslaught of Banning's fleet, the difficulty is not ordinary.At this time, everyone wanted to hear what the fat man, Russell's disciple, thought of his teacher's tactics.In the silence, the fat man suddenly said, "The plan to sneak attack on Desik's capital was not made by Teacher Russell. ”"Oh?"
Mikhailovich and Flavio and others ignored each other, and at the same time asked urgently: "Who could that be?"
”"It's like Carl," the fat man took the battle report, frowned and looked at it, and climbed on the electronic sand table to carefully check the channel of the Metis and Zeus systems, and said: "I like to keep my eyes on the core of the enemy, and dare to take such a risk, there are only two people in the bandit army, one is me, and the other is Carl." ”"Carl?"
In the minds of Margaret and the others, the appearance of the big head quickly appeared, while Flavio and the others were relatively unfamiliar with Carl.After all, none of the three of them have been fighting together with the bandit army for a long time, and they are not familiar with these main members of the bandit army."
So," Marcki asked curiously, "how do you think Banning will fight?"
”"It's hard to say," said the fat man, frowning, "Banning is cautious, but he also dares to use soldiers.Once the judgment is made, it is unwavering.Returning reinforcements and attacking with all force are possible. ”Mikhailovich and others on the side were a little disappointed.Margaret glanced at the fat man: "If you say it, you don't say it." ”"Actually, you're getting a wrong question."
The fat man ignored Margaret, and frowned to himself and repeatedly checked the battle report and the interstellar map: "What we need to figure out now is not what Banning will do, but what Teacher Russell wants to do." ”He raised his head and gave Margaret a big roll of his eyes: "Could it be that Mr.
Russell, blocking Banning in the Metis system is just to cooperate with the bandit army and the Tapu alliance to sneak attack the Zeus system?"
”"Just?"
Margaret's eyes widened: "That's the advance base of the Western Covenant, and it's the capital of the people."
The whole world is turned upside down, fatty, what else do you want to do?
”"The enemy doesn't know, we don't understand it ourselves, to sneak attack the capital of Desik, we have a chance.You can go whenever you want.Otherwise, how would we have the audacity to wrestle with Sober?
”The fat man said lightly: "Therefore, the teacher's sneak attack on the Zeus galaxy is just a beginning, and it will never be a result!"
”"Start ........" the generals looked at each other."
We must start with a sneak attack on the capital of Desik, and then .......... behind" The fat man stared at the battle report, suddenly stunned."
What's wrong?"
Fang Xiang asked."
The Tapu Alliance, with a total of twenty-five A-class fleets?""
Yes!""
Nine A-class fleets and nine [Doomsday]-class space carriers, all of which participated in the attack on Desik?""
yes!""
I see!"
The fat man suddenly laughed, like a fat fox that saw a chicken."
What's going on, tell me quickly!"
Flavio urged."
This plan wasn't made by Carl, nor did Mr.
Russell do it," the fat man waved his fist and said excitedly, "This is what the two of them did together!"
”"A sneak attack on the Desik capital must have been Karl's idea.To be honest, I had been thinking this way until now.You know, the current Mars Passage is in our hands.In this regard, Sister Xiang has done a lot of work, basically squeezing out the things in the minds of the navigators of Mars's smuggling ships, break-in ships, pirates and exploration ships. ”Hearing the fat man's compliment, Fang Xiang smiled embarrassedly."
When we found out that Sober was coming, I actually thought about hitting the Desik capital first.him, make a mess and run away. ”The fat man smacked his lips, "However, if you do it like that, you won't take much advantage."

Even if we take the capital of Desik, as long as we can't destroy the Prometheus system, we will have to retreat when Sober comes. ”Margaret: They were fine, and Mihajlovich and Marchi, who were on the side, couldn't help but stammer.The fat man fixed his eyes on the capital of other people, and said that he did not take advantage of it.How many pieces of mahjong do the bandits usually play?"
When I first saw the battle report, I thought that Mr.
Russell would choose to attack Desik with three or four fleets, and then ambush the other part of the fleet at the Metis jump point.Wait until Banning notices the presence of a bandit fleet behind him, and determines that there is no lurking fleet at the jump point, and then launches an ambush. ”Malki's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Good idea!
”Mikhailovich, Margaret and others on the side also looked at each other and were excited.If the bandit army cooperates with the Tapu coalition to attack the capital of Desic with half of the fleet, coupled with the blockade of information, then Banning is likely to be fooled.As long as he dares to break through to Metis, with the stealth technology of the bandit fleet, Russell has ten thousand ways to make him pay!"
But no."
The fat man shook his head and denied his conjecture."
Why?"
Malki asked.The fat man said: "Banning doesn't have a good impression of the Desiks, and it is the capital of Desik that is being attacked now, not the Prometheus system that has been demarcated by Desik in the southbound passage of the West and has the highest concentration of supplies.What's more, he was very cautious.Until he gets the specific number of bandits behind him, he will definitely not easily invest all his forces. ”"Besides," the fat man touched his chin: "Banning's strength advantage is very large, we don't concentrate our forces, even if the sneak attack is successful, it will be difficult to deal a fatal blow to him." ”Malki blinked and swallowed.Although he is also a federal general, he suddenly found that he still can't keep up with the thinking of Russell's fat guys.Perhaps, only such a group of cunning guys can forge such an army as the bandit army."
So, General Russell must make up his mind for Banning."
The fat man said: "The solution is very simple, that is, send all the bandit fleets and let Banning know that the bandit army is determined to work with the Tapu coalition army to disrupt the entire Desik." ”"Didn't General Russell pour the bath water and even the children with him?"
Margaret, who had been leaning over to check the interstellar map, said suspiciously: "Send the main force of the fleet to attack the Zeus system, what should Banning do when he attacks Metis, do you rush back?"
Even if you rush back from Mars Passage, it's too late!
”"Indeed."
The fat man nodded: "If we detour from the Mars Passage and rush back to the Metis system, it will be too late, but when the Desiks put all the surrounding fleets into the defense of the jump point of the Zeus system, and Banning is all in the attack, then, we actually have a way back." ”"Which way?"
Mihailovich asked."
Here!"
The fat man's finger pointed to the interstellar map, and he sneered: "The Hera Galaxy Channel, an unimpeded sunny avenue!"
”
