Chapter 562, Alfonzo's Ark Fleet
"Paulitus is a capable man." Gu Hang said with emotion.
At this moment, he was chatting with his wife Ye Lixia.
The relationship between the two of them is naturally very different from that of normal people.
The two of them are together less and more, and they have little time to spend together in a year.
Gu Hang is very busy, and Ye Lixia is also very busy.
But despite this, the relationship between the two has not been affected.
Their union is not a factor dominated by emotions, but an inseparable combination of interests.
The two of them originally admired each other at most and did not resist being with each other.
But emotions can also be cultivated. Especially when the goals and ambitions are the same, and many aspects are strongly bound together, the emotions become more stable.
Especially after the alliance that Gu Hang completely controls becomes stronger and stronger, and he actually becomes the most powerful figure in the entire Eastern Universe, Ye Lixia can't leave Gu Hang.
At the same time, as an admiral, Ye Lixia is also helping Gu Hang to better control the navy, which is crucial to a space power, and Gu Hang can't leave her.
Then the relationship can't be bad.
Because of political interests, the relationship is stable; conversely, it is also true, because the relationship is stable, the interests are stable.
The two may be separate at the beginning, but the more they are now, the more entangled they are.
Or in other words, if the relationship is not good, Gu Hang will never hand over the important navy to Ye Lixia.
As high-level figures in the human empire society, the two of them have considered creating a person together to leave a bloodline.
It's just that on the one hand, they are busy, and on the other hand, the time is not bad.
Although, they are both about fifty years old. However, under the advanced human technology, Ye Lixia, who has already undergone life extension surgery, has at least hundreds of years of life and eternal youth; Gu Hang, on the other hand, has not undergone surgery, but after becoming the governor of the Angry Owl Star, his face has hardly changed in the past thirty years.
He is fifty years old, but he still looks like a young man.
The power of psychic energy plays a big role in this. High-level psychics do not actually prolong their lives. Instead, they will appear to be very short-lived because of the erosion of their bodies by this supernatural power.
But with the help of the system, Gu Hang can fully master psychic energy.
That is a different concept.
It is true that his current life form is still that of a mortal, but it is hard to say how similar his "life essence" is to that of a normal person.
Both of them can be regarded as immortals. Fifty or sixty years of life is the end of life for ordinary people, but for them, their long life has only taken a few steps forward.
The concepts of life are very different, and the concepts for future generations will also be different.
Right now, it is considered a period of interval between wars. It is at this time that they have time to get together and communicate with each other.
The things to be communicated are not important, the main thing is the communication itself.
The main force of the alliance fleet that ended the Battle of Heyang drove to Bowang Star at a not-so-fast speed and in a silent manner.
There is nothing much to say about this planet itself. It is an ordinary world with a development degree of level 1, a population of 5 or 6 billion, and a technological development level in the electrical age. There are no special resources, nor is it on any major transportation routes. The defense capability of the planetary orbit is very general.
They even lack the means to observe the deep space situation.
And there is only one reason why the main force of the alliance came here: according to the news from the front, the Fury Flame Fleet is taking a star road that will pass through Bowang and go to Wuqi Star.
It should be noted that Bowang Star is by no means a must-go to Wuqi Star. At most, it can only be regarded as one of the options, and it is a long detour. And the reason why the Fury Flame Fleet chose this road is of course not their own will. They are eager to get to Wuqi Star as soon as possible, and use the complete defense system of that planet as an important channel connecting the two star fields to wait until the arrival of Alfonzo's fleet. This way, it will be much safer.
The reason for this is purely forced by the blood shark.
And the Bowang galaxy is the slaughterhouse prepared for them by Gu Hang.
During the period of waiting for the sheep to come, Gu Hang was relatively free, so he had time to have a rare exchange with his wife.
It was inevitable that they would talk about the next target to be slaughtered, and about Paulitus, the new leader of the Fury Flame Warband.
Gu Hang once again repeated his evaluation of Paulitus: "Paulitus is a capable person."
"He is capable? He is capable of being tossed around by you like this? You don't seem to take him seriously at all. Even if the war is destined to happen here on Bowang Star, you don't care. This is not the key at all. It's just part of your plan... You don't take him seriously, or even regard him as an opponent, but you say he is quite capable?"
"There is no conflict." Gu Hang waved his hand and said with a smile, "He did everything right, every choice, of course he should be praised."
"He did everything right, but ended up in the current situation?"
"Yes." Gu Hang sighed, "This is the difference between the strength of the two sides. It is impossible for him to compete with us in any previous battlefield. Defend to Shangdong and Guangfeng? Defend to Mentus II and Aoya. Xing, Heyang VIII? His winning rate will not exceed 30%, and that’s without counting me.”
"As long as he loses, he will lose everything."
"And he made the right choice every time. Objectively speaking, as the weaker side, he was right to adopt the strategic idea of 'existing the fleet'. As long as his fleet exists, we have to find a way to defend against it." It deploys military power to weaken our ability to control the entire Proud Star Territory and the speed of attack. He has done this, and the trouble it has caused us is actually far greater than if he fought a decisive battle and then lost it. degree."
"He also successfully split our fleet, so that we had to deploy three battle cruisers in the rear to defend against them. Then, he used the Flying Wing, the Furious Owl, and the Koroga as prey. He was also a A smart choice. Tactically, he successfully completed the ambush and almost defeated our precious battle cruiser."
"Being able to achieve this level is enough for me to appreciate him. He lost because of the information gap. The Blood Shark Chapter... is very special. Even I am a little surprised by their elusive ability. . Without getting the blood shark’s information in advance, he certainly wouldn’t be able to make the right decision.”
At this point, Gu Hang added: "I think he is more powerful and more difficult to deal with than his predecessor, the former captain of the Raging Flame named Erso."
Yelicia smiled and said: "But he still lost. Are you praising your opponent to show that you are better?"
"That's not true. I'm just making an objective evaluation." Gu Hang said, "Of course, he can do better."
"For example? What would you do if you were in his place?" Yelicia asked curiously.
"If possible, I will continue to implement the retreat strategy, not only giving up the Proud Claw, but also giving up the Nepeta Star Territory. The alliance's power, rapid expansion and control of a star territory is already the limit. If you dare to pursue the Nepeta Star Territory, then the alliance will be torn apart later. The opportunity becomes greater.”
"But there may be political factors, so he can't do it?" Yelicia pointed out this point, "The military can never be independent of politics. Just like us, launching an active attack at the current time is not necessarily a big deal. Good choice."
"Yes, every commander would like to simply think about how to defeat the enemy, but that is often not realistic."
"What if you can't retreat? What will you do?"
"Decisive battle." Gu Hang said.
Yelicia said in surprise: "Don't you think that retreating is the best option? The winning rate in the decisive battle is not more than 30%."
Gu Hang thought for a while and said: "As a disadvantaged party, if you want to reverse your disadvantage and create a miracle, you have to walk a difficult road, and then find and do something in the difficulty to turn the impossible into possible. "
Yelicia stared at Gu Hang's face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that... when others say this, it seems like they are talking too much, but when you say it, it seems a bit unreasonable."
"Ha ha!"
…
A Terran Standard month passed quickly.
Alfonzo's Ark fleet arrived in the Proud Claw Star Territory.
This is news that shocks everyone.
The entire Proud Claw Star Territory became anxious and uneasy.
The world that has already turned to the Alliance is worried that the arrival of Alfonzo's Ark Fleet will bring liquidation; the world that has not yet turned to the Alliance is rejoicing.
This news, which marked the end of Alfonzo's sect's formal participation in the war, even quickly reached Holy Terra.
Paying close attention to the huge civil war in the Eastern Frontier of the Empire, involving several space domains and involving more than 20,000 Space Marines, has very touched the heartstrings of the gentlemen on Holy Terra.
Although most people can realize that the Alfonzo sect is definitely the enemy and should not have any illusions about them.
But after all, they have never officially participated in the war, and everyone seems to be able to be the ostrich with their heads buried in the soil.
But now, this illusion has been completely exposed, and the panic that should not have been there will still spread.
Especially after further information came in, they were even more stunned when they saw the specific strength of Alfonzo's Ark fleet.
Two Retribution-class battleships, one Zhuge-class aircraft carrier, and nine Dragon-Snake-class battlecruisers... This is already a very powerful configuration. The combined naval power of the empire in a regular space domain is not so strong.
Moreover, these can only be regarded as conventional ships.
Among this Ark fleet, there are two warships that make people tremble when they hear them.
One is the Mechanical Ark itself. According to the intelligence coming from the front line, it was no ordinary Mechanical Ark. After all, although the Mechanicus Ark is powerful in combat, it is mainly used as a base for the Mechanicus during space navigation. It also integrates a large number of production, industry, scientific research and other functions, which is equivalent to a Mechanicum that can move freely in space. Forge World.
However, this ark can be called a 'war ark', and it is an ark ship specialized for war. Its combat effectiveness must be above that of a normal battleship.
The Alfonzo sect is quite wealthy, and the configuration of the war ark they built is probably so high that it makes people tremble.
And the other warship is also a battleship.
Emperor-class battleship.
This is the most powerful battleship model in the human empire.
If the Retribution-class is the mass-produced and standard version of the battleship, then the Emperor-class is the luxury and flagship version of the battleship.
Its cost is more than three times that of the Retribution-class.
Cost and construction period are one aspect, and rare and difficult technology is the more important factor for its rarity.
And its combat effectiveness is worthy of the price and rarity.
Such a fleet configuration, which is extremely powerful in terms of scale and the strength of top ships, is a heavy weight that can change the situation on the north and west lines.
What's more, the power held by the alliance on the south line is actually weaker than that on the north and west lines.
Now public opinion has turned around instantly.
Before, there were many voices in Holy Terra, asking why the alliance did not speed up its actions, why it did not quickly destroy the Fury Fleet, and why it did not push the front line to the more hinterland areas of the Iron Armored Corps earlier to pose a greater threat to them.
Now, some voices began to emerge, saying why the Alliance was so aggressive, why did they provoke the Alfonzo sect, why didn't they just keep it safe, and just ensure that the southern part didn't collapse.
Now they are fighting recklessly and provoking Alfonzo... Now, if the main force of the Alliance is lost, not to mention that the Pride Claw Star Domain that they have taken will be sent back, I'm afraid that the Alfonzo Ark Fleet will take this force all the way south and pierce through the Eastern Universe.
Even the most optimistic people don't think that the Alliance is a match for such a fleet.
The Alliance hasn't even eliminated the Fury Fleet yet!
This news is terrible.
