Nine Hundred and Sixty-Three Change of Track

Ye Han suddenly turned around: "How is that possible?" His movements were so violent that he almost lost control of his figure floating in the air.

When the fleet set off, everyone thought that attacking the fleet was just a formality and that they could retire successfully by forcing the alien fleet to return.

But reality was a big joke. The alien fleet did not retreat at all, and suddenly the assault fleet... no, it pushed the entire human world into a corner.

As a soldier, Ye Han had more to think about due to the sensitivity of his profession.

Not only did the raiding fleet not conceal the purpose of their trip, but they moved forward with such swagger that it was impossible for the aliens to miss it. But the alien fleet just refused to turn back, so does that mean that the aliens have confidence in Jupiter's defense level and believe that the attack fleet is not a threat?

Or is it that the aliens have accumulated enough strength and do not want to stay in this ghost place anymore, and plan to conquer the earth in one fell swoop?

Well, there are a lot of enemy warships, but they are definitely not an overwhelming advantage. The possibility of defeating the combined fleet is very low, and the possibility of occupying the earth is even lower. Counterattacking Europa is about the same...

Thinking of this, Ye Han suddenly had a thought in his heart. Could it be that the alien's target is really Europa?

Lin Yi didn't know what Ye Han was thinking, so he silently handed over the tablet. Ye Han took it and swiped it with his fingers, quickly finding the most critical sentences.

He was not in the mood to read down a little bit, and casually returned the tablet to Lin Yi: "What do you mean by Beidu? Continue or return?"

Lin Yi quickly replied: "The above means to continue."

Ye Han sighed quietly, put his arm casually, turned back and continued to look at the screen.

What does it mean to continue?

Taking advantage of the absence of the main alien force, they raided the alien's lair? Or should we test how much strength the aliens retain?

"When will it start?" Ye Han asked again.

"The sooner the better."

"Where is the Qiang Second Fleet?"

"There are still two days of sailing, and we are expected to arrive on the 22nd."

There was a haze in Ye Han's eyes. It was supposed that the second fleet should arrive at Jupiter at the same time as the assault fleet, but somehow it was delayed by two days.

Two days is nothing in normal times, but on the ever-changing battlefield, two days is enough to determine the success or failure of the entire campaign.

He couldn't help but begin to wonder whether it was intentional or unintentional that the Qiang Second Fleet was two days behind.

Lin Yi waited for a while but did not receive Ye Han's order. He couldn't help but ask: "Chief, shall we fight or not?"

Ye Han said without looking back: "Fight, we must fight." Beidu did not expect to strengthen the second fleet, and the two fleets also fought separately in the plan. The only thing to worry about was that the number of fleets was reduced by half. The deterrent effect brought to aliens is too small.

This is the home base of aliens. Can the attack fleet alone scare the aliens?

It's hard!

"Then when will we fight?" Lin Yi asked again, "The Nanzhou is waiting for the message."

The mission of the assault fleet is quite special, so it is divided into two parts. The fleet is commanded by Gao Kai, who is mainly responsible for intercepting the alien fleet... The reason why he was sent here is because only the Second Expeditionary Force has been successful among previous expeditions.

The command of the landing is completely given to Ye Han. Whenever landing is involved, Ye Han naturally has the decision-making power and can decide whether to continue the mission based on the actual situation. Even Gao Kai has to listen to him.

This mission revolves around landing. Gao Kai couldn't help but listen, so Lin Yi asked.

Ye Han thought for a while and said: "How many days will it take for the interception fleet to receive fire?"

On the screen, an aerospace carrier was docking with a destroyer. It was actually a comprehensive supply ship docking with a transport ship full of aliens to replenish the transport ship with food and air.

This kind of docking happens every twenty days or so, but this is the first time to witness it with my own eyes... Ye Han's mind turned to the resistance organization again.

Until now, he had not figured out how to use this force, but he vaguely felt that the method of fighting in divisions was not very good.

Lin Yi couldn't see Ye Han's expression and replied to himself: "There is no detailed timetable, probably about a week."

"Seven days..." Ye Han muttered and repeated, making up his mind, "We will wait here."

In seven days, the two fleets were about to engage in battle... At this point, even if the assault fleet smashed Jupiter to pieces, the alien fleet would not be able to turn back. It was only a matter of time before the two fleets exchanged fire.

In this case, whether the attack fleet is a few days earlier or later has no impact on the result. In this case, there is no need for the attack fleet to mine the second fleet.

Understanding what Ye Han meant, Lin Yi immediately said: "I will convey your wishes to the Nanzhou No."

"No, I'll do it myself." After Ye Han said that he was about to get through the Nanzhou's communication, Gao Kai's bust appeared in the corner of the screen, "Old Gao, let's wait for two more days."

Gao Kai curled his lips: "I knew it." After saying that, he said seriously, "Zi Zi, I suggest you start now."

Ye Han sighed, told Gao Kai his analysis, and finally concluded: "So I think it's best to wait for two days."

Gao Kai said: "I understand what you are thinking, but tell me, how many people on the other side of the earth understand? If we really stay here and stand still, there's no telling how many people will secretly attack."

"Then what do you mean..." Ye Han's brows condensed.

He considered the problem purely from a military perspective, but Gao Kai also included political issues when considering the problem. Although Ye Han was unwilling to admit it, he felt that Gao Kai's consideration was more comprehensive.

When you are outside, you may not accept your orders, but after all, it’s really strange that you don’t accept them!

The specific tactics after launching the attack are easy to say. At the critical moment when the interception fleet is about to collide with the alien fleet, waiting for several days for the strong second fleet will probably cause discordant voices within the military, not to mention the public opinion.

Gao Kai said: "At least we have to take some action, we can't just wait in this damn place."

Ye Han nodded thoughtfully, thought for a while and said, "How about this? The fleet will start to change course immediately and move to two million kilometers first. What do you think?"

The fleet is currently more than three million kilometers away from Jupiter, and the orbit change distance is more than one million kilometers. It is hard to say whether two days will be enough.

The location of the fleet is not randomly selected, but has various objective reasons.

The semi-major axis of the farthest satellite from Jupiter can reach 30 million kilometers, while the semi-major axis of most of Jupiter's satellites exceeds 20 million kilometers.

Normally the fleet should stay outside the satellite group, but because the semi-major axis is too far away, the density of these small satellites is pitifully small. All small satellites are within the monitoring range of the fleet, and they cannot escape radar surveillance even if they are hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. , it is impossible for aliens to use these small satellites to sneak attack the fleet.
