Chapter 896: Heroine
Before the main force set off, the scout fleet in charge of early warning left the garrison first, and carried out carpet reconnaissance along the left and right airspaces of the main channel. ? w.suimeng.lā
It was during this process that a Copernicus-class reconnaissance ship caught a suspicious situation. An unfamiliar warship appeared on the 44th Fleet's only way. Fearing that the guerrilla fleet of the Sulu Empire would know that the 44th Fleet would pass by, they set up an ambush on the road ahead. The Copernicus-class scout ship released a large number of warp-speed drones, extending the curvature fluctuation scouting range to within 4 light-years.
Strangely, these warp speed drones suddenly lost their target in the process of tracking the strange warship, which made the people on the scouting ship very depressed. Just as they were about to recover the scouting drones and steer the ship to a further While moving in direction, a slight but dense curvature anomaly was suddenly detected. When the staff commanded those drones to switch from wide-area reconnaissance to directional reconnaissance mode, the data collected surprised everyone——a high-speed fleet composed of nearly 2,000 warships is moving at an extremely fast speed. Speed through the deep space zone bordering the uninhabited area of Karilan-Rotonado and Ayalos-Koplin-Slandal, approaching the hinterland of the Star Alliance.
The news terrified many people, including Fleet Commander Mie Nakamura. That is not an enemy guerrilla fleet with only one or two hundred small ships, but two fleets!
What are those patrol fleets and those early-warning equipment used for, to allow 2,000 warships to pass through the detection network of the two uninhabited areas and enter the hinterland of the defense line without anyone noticing? God knows what would have happened if the scout ships of the 44th Fleet hadn't stumbled upon them while tracking an unfamiliar warship.
The ordinary star system garrison navy only has a maximum of 500 warships, and there are many outdated models. Even if the space-based defense platform is added, it is absolutely impossible to resist the attack of 2,000 warships. Once they are placed in the interior of the Star Alliance, it is conceivable How serious the consequences will be.
Of course, there is another possibility that these 2,000 warships are used by the enemy to go deep into the enemy's rear, cooperate with the Sulu Empire inside and outside, and inflict heavy damage on the navy stationed near the Mubarak star system.
When the 44th Fleet, 53rd Fleet, and 87th Fleet left their bases and the troops in the hinterland of the Mubarak line of defense were reduced, if David Conan could not discover this 2,000-strong fleet of high-speed warships in the first place, then wait For the Star Alliance, I'm afraid it will be a fiasco.
Whether the target of this fleet is an important unit in the interior of the Covenant (such as the Sylvanas star system with the largest shipyard in the Covenant, such as the Duma star system where high-level national leaders gather, or the combat resource transfer station--- ---Mecca space station), or surprise soldiers who carry out sneak attacks from behind, there is no doubt that once they go away, the consequences will be disastrous.
Mie Nakamura immediately sent an early warning message to the Naval Command, which has advanced to the uninhabited area near the Mubarak star system, but she did not wait for David Conan's new order, and directly asked the fleet to move to the place where the 2,000 warships must pass. the road,
Pull out a warp speed interception net.
Those 2,000 enemy ships were all high-speed warships, and with the maneuverability of the 44th Fleet, they couldn't catch up with them. If they missed the opportunity to intercept them because they were waiting for new orders from the headquarters, the Covenant Navy would definitely fall into a passive position.
She knew that her fleet could not be the enemy's opponent. From their sailing speed, it could be seen that it was not an ordinary fleet, but an elite among the elite of the Monya Empire. It was probably a warship belonging to Hydra. 44 Fleet's combat effectiveness, doing so is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.
But she knew very well that she had no choice. He had to gain reaction time for David Conan and win a chance for the compatriots in the country. If the sacrifice of the 44th Fleet could drag down 2,000 warships, she would rather accept the fate of death.
Although she is unruly, although she has a bad reputation, although some officers call her a BIAO, even a bus, but this has nothing to do with her love for the Star Alliance, her love for this DU, and her love for her relatives.
When the heavy crossbow-class light assault ship and the cavalry-class heavy assault ship came out, drilled into the gap of the warp speed interception net, and were ready to launch an attack on the enemy ship that was blocked from the virtual space, the "Persian" aboard .
A staff officer sent the latest information provided by the forward scout ship to Nakamura Mie.
Her face was a little pale under the light of the electronic sand table, a flower appeared in the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and there were faint nasolabial folds on both sides of her mouth.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, a staff officer reminded: "General, the latest data shows that the first stop of the 2,000 warships should be the Dilar star system, which is the lair of the 'Morning Star Forge'."
Another staff officer said: "Tang Fang is now in the United Kingdom of Turanx, and the person in charge of the defense of the Dilar star system is Chen Jian. He has more than 700 pirate warships under his command, plus a relic warship 'Quan Angel' ...I thought, should we bring those interceptors back?"
He only said to withdraw the interceptor ship. His words were very subtle, but the meaning was not subtle. Withdrawing the interceptor ship means giving up the interception mission and turning a blind eye to the 2,000 warships. In this way, the 44th Fleet will not have to face the enemy, and they can save their lives.
A colonel with severe alopecia areata said in a deep voice: "If I guess correctly, this assault fleet consisting of 2,000 warships should be the Hydra Fleet in Halifax."
Everyone knows that Halifax? Stewart is notorious because of Tang Fang, and has become the devil that every righteous person spurns. Captain Tang even destroyed Faraday's research institute, ruining His Royal Highness's years of hard work. There is an unresolved hatred between the two. According to the news from within the Monya Empire, it was Halifax Stuart, the 13th prince of the Monya Empire, who led Xu Dela to the front.
Judging from the route of this fleet and the grievances between Tang Fang and Halifax, they showed that they wanted to take advantage of the opening of the Karilan-Rotonado No Man's Land War to take advantage of the chaos to raid Dilar Star The system, in conjunction with Anthem Will, uprooted the "Morning Star Foundry".
Because the coup d'état in the United Kingdom of Turanx has nothing to do with the war between the Star Alliance, Sulu, and Monya, and the 44th Fleet has been in virtual space for the past seven days, the headquarters did not notify them of what happened in Khanos , Including Nakamura Meihui, everyone in the 44th Fleet did not know that Tang Fang had killed Praisewell and defeated the Lionheart King's independent fleet.
Therefore, the clever staff officer believed that this was a desperate plan formulated by Kirkcraft I and Hymn Will.
"Tsk tsk, Hydra VS Apollo Pirates, there is a good show to watch." The alopecia areata staff officer is a friend of Pompeii Clark, and at this time, he is naturally happy to witness the destruction of the Dilar star system in the flames of war.
In fact, not only him, but many politicians and businessmen hope that "Morning Star Foundry" will be destroyed.
"Letting the Apollo Pirates hold up Hydra just bought time for the headquarters to deploy troops. Tang is so arrogant, and now it's time to pay the price for what he did."
The alopecia areata staff officer's eyes were particularly cold, and there was a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth. Although the others didn't hate Tang Fang as much as he did, they didn't regard "Morning Star Casting" as their own. Since Xu Dela's goal was "Morning Star Casting", they certainly had no obligation to risk their lives to help a foreigner.
This was the thought of almost everyone next to the combat command platform, except for Nakamura Mie.
"I'm really ashamed of what you think," she said.
"No matter who the target of the Hydra is, it is invading the territory of the Star Alliance. Those pirates were born in the Star Alliance and grew up in the Star Alliance. Although they are guilty of crimes, they are out-and-out members of the Star Alliance... and For those workers in the Christel Industrial Park, if Hydera is allowed to pass smoothly, what fate will those people face?"
"We are soldiers, and our duty is to defend the country and the people. We are not politicians, and we cannot use interests as the standard of action. If the army of a country regards interests first as its motto, then this country will never have a future. General Layton once said Such a sentence, 'The army should be the shield of a country, not the butcher's knife in the hands of politicians.' If we give up resistance today because Hydra's goal is 'Morning Star Casting', let Halifax set foot on the country , so what is the difference between us and the armies of the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire?"
"Have you ever thought that once these 2,000 warships defeat the Apollo Pirates and move into the interior of the Star Alliance, how many civilians will die in the flames of war? Who can guarantee that there will be no family members there? We cannot lose this war We can’t even afford to gamble, these 2,000 warships must be kept out of the line of defense, otherwise we will be the sinners of this country.”
None of the staff officers thought that Mie Nakamura would say so many words in one breath, let alone that she, who is good at politics, would say such honest and loyal words.
"I know what you're thinking. It's strange how a bad woman like me became concerned about the country and the people instead of fighting for power and profit... because, I love this country more than anyone else. Fighting for power and profit is my life , The Star Alliance is my home... If there is no home, there is no life, and if there is no home, there is no happiness."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong..." At this moment, the elderly staff officer finally knew what kind of person Nakamura Mie was.
Two brothers can blush over family property and quarrel because of disagreements, but if outsiders want to raze their courtyard and kill their relatives, what will they do? That is blood is thicker than water, broken bones connected with family love.
The people of the Mongya Empire, the Sulu Empire, the Phoenix Empire... would not regard the country as their home. For those people, the country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the grass and trees are deep.
But for the people of the Star Alliance, the country is their home, and their home... houses their lives. Without a home, there is no life, no happiness, no tomorrow.
Several other staff officers also lowered their heads.
What Nakamura Mie said is right, they are soldiers who defend their homes and the country, not politicians who are mercenary.
Becoming a soldier is their choice, not forced by their livelihood.
"Turn on the radio channel." After saying this, she walked from the combat command platform to the front, looked directly at the staff in the equipment pool on the first floor, and said in a calm tone: "My home is in Numa Star. A small mountain town in Hantec State, it is a very bitter cold place. After the war between the countries in the Hillenbel Region and the Jupiter Expeditionary Force came to an end, many young people left there to live in a more comfortable place. Living in a big city, only the elderly are reluctant to leave because they are nostalgic for their homeland, so a community doctor, a sheriff, and a pastor choose to stay."
"The small town is getting smaller and more deserted, but the new map published by the government every year can find the small town. Every month, shuttles carrying medical supplies and daily necessities land on or cover the thick In the snow, or in the square covered with dead leaves... They didn't miss a single festival, and they didn't forget a single person in the town."
"And my father is the doctor who chooses to stay in the small town... The climate in Hantec is always so cold, people are used to hiding in houses with fireplaces, with a warm fire, and the old women use braze The old men are holding small square cups filled with whiskey, talking about their parents’ slander, or national events that have little to do with their lives. There is an airport outside the town, which is the town’s contact with the outside world. The only air channel in the city, there will be 5 regular flights to stop here for a while every day. Later, part of the route in Hantek State was sold to a private airline, and the 5 flights passing through the town were also among them. "
"Because the town is dying, few people take this flight, the airline is planning to reduce the number of flights from 5 times a day to 1 time a day for efficiency reasons... However, they didn't do that, they just reduced the number of flights to 5 times a day. It was shortened to 2 times. Because the commissioner responsible for investigating the feasibility of the report found that the daughter of the community doctor in the small town would take this flight every morning to go to St. Paul Middle School in the nearest city, leave school in the evening, and then take the flight home .”
"Actually, reducing the number of flights to one is not a big deal. Girls can stay in school and continue their studies, but the CEO of the airline said to the board of directors, 'If I were that doctor, I would like to see him every day. To my own daughter. If I were a resident of that small town, I would like to see her bright smiling face every day. I don’t want to see our flights loaded with money. I hope they are filled with the warmth of home and the sweetness of love.’ "
Nakamura Mie was silent for a while, and said in a slightly choked voice: "I am that girl..."

Rays of light flashed around the warp interception line constructed by the Scimitar-class light interceptor and the Flywheel-class heavy interceptor. The pitch-black painting gave the battleship a gloomy and cold texture, and the flickering signal lights reflected the 9 ferocious snake heads on the ship's side , like the gaze of a hell demon god.
The fleet belonging to the 44th Fleet is like a broad sword piercing the abyss, with the whimper of the wind and the roar of the fire, sinking into the darkness that stretches into the sea.
Shouting is a kind of motivation, and telling is also a kind of power...it is very warm, it is very warm.
This healing power can overcome pain and also drive away fear.
…………
The hexagonal pulse light vortices on the wings of the "Feathered Serpent" radiate light tides of different phases, the energy grids behind the dragon's head light up one after another, and a fan-shaped photon shock wave sweeps across the darkness in front of the battleship, and the "Persian" including the Dozens of warships devoured.
Nakamura Mie held the armrest in front of her with both hands, sighed, and said softly, "I can only help you here..."
The elderly staff officer smoothed his slightly wrinkled clothes and asked, "Why do you say that?"
She said calmly, "Because I think he regards the Covenant as his second home."
"You are a noble person, and I apologize to you for my previous incomprehension."
"It was a relief to hear such praise at the last moment."
She said she was relieved...
In the eyes of many people, Mie Nakamura is a slut who has no bottom line. The men who have slept with her in the army do not have a company, and there is also a reinforced platoon.
But it is such a woman who can do things that many men can't do.
She knows the meaning of the word soldier better than many people, and she knows what true patriotism is like than many people.
A woman like her is more man than many men, more husband than many husbands.
………………
Halifax smashed the control panel of the seat, and he even threw the scarlet cape on the ground.
Of the 2,000 warships, there are more than 1,500 left... In front of them is a starry sky graveyard made up of warship wreckage.
The 44th Fleet took the absolute initiative, using interceptors to force them out of the virtual space, but the result of this war ended in the annihilation of the entire army.
Not a single warship fled, not a single warship retreated, and not a single person regretted it.
Hydra won the war, demonstrating their strength, but at the cost of exposing their own existence and losing the best opportunity to raid "Dilal". If Halifax insisted on following the original plan, it might be intercepted by the Legion of Glory before reaching "Dilal".
They can easily destroy Nakamura Mie's 44th Fleet, but if the opponent is replaced by the Legion of Glory, the end will definitely be miserable. It is true that the Star Alliance Navy has not fought a war for many years, but judging from the performance of the 44th Fleet, they have a spirit that the Mongya Empire and Sulu Empire fleets do not have --- unity!
Yes, it is unity. unity is strength.
13 The prince is not a reckless person. As the highest officer in charge of the military scientific research department of the Monya Empire, he has a calm and wise mind.
The momentary anger subsided quickly, and with the help of the maid, the scarlet cloak returned to his shoulders, and the control panel on the seat was replaced with a new screen by the maintenance personnel.
He sat back on the seat that symbolized power and identity, and said to the generals standing beside the combat command platform in front: "Retreat."
Very short, only one word. (To be continued.)
