One Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty-Three

The reaction of the observation group was not surprising at all. Huo Qiang had expected this situation long ago.

The joint fleet was composed of the Beiyuezhou Fleet and the International Fleet. The main force of the fleet was mainly the Beiyuezhou Fleet, plus a small number of Western warships; while the reserve fleet was mainly Western warships, plus a certain number of super gunboats.

This situation occurred not only for the convenience of command, but also as a political compromise between Beidu and Washington.

Huo Qiang's plan required the reserve fleet and the second Tuwai Fleet to fight desperately. Instead of waiting for the order to be issued and bearing the doubts of the observation group, it is better to ask the observation group for their opinions in advance.

One of the observation groups immediately raised an objection: "Why?"

Huo Qiang immediately stated his thoughts and inferences, and after speaking, he looked at the time: "We don't have much time, please make a decision as soon as possible."

The observers immediately whispered to each other, some with tangled faces, some with heavy expressions, and some with indignation.

Nine of the twelve observers were dissatisfied with Huo Qiang's decision, and the remaining three were not much stronger. Everyone's opinions were very consistent, and they all felt that Huo Qiang was suspected of using aliens to weaken the International Fleet.

But Huo Qiang's reasons were very sufficient, and there were no obvious flaws in the strategic deployment and specific tactics.

In the end, it was still a vote by raising hands, and the result was that there were six arms in favor and six against, and the resolution was passed half and half - Huo Qiang had no right to interfere with the vote of the observation group, nor did he have the right to vote, but in order to avoid missing the opportunity, in the case of no result in the vote of the observation group, Huo Qiang's opinion could also be counted as a vote.

Washington's idea was very practical. Since it was not conducive to the international fleet, but there were still six people who agreed, then this controversial proposal must have a certain necessity.

Seeing the voting results, all members of the observation group looked at Huo Qiang in unison, and Huo Qiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you!"

An observer said expressionlessly: "You're welcome, we are for the earth."

"For the earth!" Huo Qiang was extremely solemn, "Wu Han!"

"Here!"

"Order the reserve fleet, no matter what method they use, they must delay the enemy's second fleet!"

"Yes!"

"And... tell me about the sixteen-character policy of Taizu." Huo Qiang added at the end.

It's a pity that the commander of the reserve fleet is an American. If it was one of us, this sentence would not need to be said at all.

Wu Han's cheeks twitched, but he still agreed.

The sixteen-character policy is no longer a secret, so it's okay for foreigners to know it - but the power of this thing lies in the fact that you know what's going on, but you just can't think of an effective countermeasure!

After receiving the order, the reserve fleet immediately adjusted its direction and launched long-range missiles at the enemy as soon as possible. Then it was super shotgun time. One by one, shells flew from the muzzles of human warships and flew to the Tuwai Second Fleet 20,000 kilometers away at a speed of 19 kilometers per second.

The distance is too far. It takes a full 17 and a half minutes for the electromagnetic artillery shells to encounter the enemy. In the past, the density of the steel balls was already shockingly low when they flew 20,000 kilometers away, and the possibility of hitting the enemy ship was infinitely close to zero.

However, the super shotgun, like other human weapons, is also constantly being improved. The super shotgun used today draws on the technology of the Hidden Sword missile. It is a complete shell when it is fired, and it explodes when it approaches the target. In this way, it can limit the excessive dispersion of the steel balls and greatly improve the hit rate of the super shotgun.

In addition, the fleet can also control the dispersion area by controlling the detonation time. If the enemy is concentrated, it will be detonated slowly, and if the enemy is dispersed, it will be detonated earlier, thereby increasing the hit rate of the super shotgun.

In addition to missiles and super shotguns, smoke bombs are also indispensable. In this way, a large wave of missiles and shells flew towards the Second Fleet of the Tuwai Fleet.

The aliens believe that they have a considerable understanding of humans and know that humans can launch attacks from tens of thousands of kilometers away, but they are more aware that the effect of attacks launched at this distance is very limited, so they don’t care about the actions of the reserve fleet.

But they soon found something wrong. In the past, humans’ long-range strikes were all missiles in groups. Why are there even shells today?

But who cares? The aliens didn’t intend to fight hard. While the first wave of human firepower was still far away, the 582 warships of the Second Fleet of the Tuwai Fleet quickly dispersed. Not only did the distance quickly widen, but the entire fleet was also divided into three different levels: front, middle and back, with nearly 200 warships on each level.

Moreover, the alien warships released flying insect planes while dispersing, and soon formed a large cloud of insects.

The reserve fleet and the joint command both calculated, and the former concluded that there were more than 200,000 insect machines in total, while the latter concluded that there were more than 240,000 insect machines, and it was still increasing.

This data seems exaggerated, but if you spread it out, each alien warship only needs to carry 400 insect machines - this is definitely not the limit of alien warships!

Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the first fleet of the aliens. The first release of insect machines exceeded 400,000, and just now more than 200,000 were released. Added together, each alien warship carries no less than 1,000 insect machines.

This may not be all, but even if there are 1,000 per ship, the insect machines carried by the alien fleet are 1.2 million. Just thinking about it makes me shudder. If there are no weapons to deal with the insect swarm, the insect machines brought by the alien fleet can beat the joint fleet several times and still turn around.

Huo Qiang was extremely lucky that the expedition force had not yet reached Jupiter when the Turkish Foreign Fleet set off. Otherwise, the super neutron bomb would have been exposed, and the Turkish Foreign Fleet would probably have delayed its departure. When the Turkish Foreign Fleet set off again, the killer weapon would not be the insect drone. , when the time comes, humans won’t have any targeted weapons, haha, there may not necessarily be any results in the end.

Of course, I don’t know what the final result will be, but I can always be prepared.

After the insect planes flew away from the mothership, they immediately rushed towards the reserve fleet in the distance. They were extremely numerous and very fast. They did not look like a group of insects, but rather like countless missiles flying towards the target.

Well, those original bug machines can also emit thin light, but the round-headed bug machines are different. This thing can only hit, it seems that the main purpose of aliens creating this thing is to hit.

The reserve fleet did not dare to neglect and immediately fired a batch of missiles... The first batch was mainly used to deal with alien warships, and this batch was used to deal with insect drones.

The missile was launched at a slow speed, but after speeding up, it was very fast. It only took seven minutes to encounter the oncoming insect cloud. In order to prevent the missile from being shot down by the insect swarm, the reserve fleet had to detonate smoke bombs in advance, and the clouds of smoke obscured the missile. , blocking the view of the insect machine.

But the insect machine didn't hesitate at all and crashed directly into the smoke screen.
