Chapter 1374 Dense Fire Network
The lieutenant general explained and wiped out the suspicion of attacking his own prisoners of war.
But the major general hesitated and sighed helplessly - this explanation was a bit forced after all.
The lieutenant general looked at him and said lightly, "The Operations Department specifically emphasized that the opponent's strength is amazing!"
"Although I'm not sure how strong they are... the Operations Department didn't say it."
"But such a powerful team, let them escape back safely, that is irresponsible to the Federation."
"Small, if the Operations Department investigates in the future, I may be suspected of dereliction of duty or even delaying military opportunities."
"Big, once they return to the other side, the Federation will face a huge threat!"
"Don't forget, the other side has our regiment-level ships, which involves the leakage of federal technology."
He said so much, and he really found enough reasons for himself.
But then again, if he thought his behavior was natural and reasonable, why would he explain so much?
After all, it does take a certain amount of courage to fire at one's own soldiers.
At the same time, Qu Jianlei and others suddenly found that there were many colorful lights ahead.
"Artillery blockade," the fourth boss made a judgment at the first time, and understood the other party's intention, "Not too stupid!"
In fact, when everyone took these more than 400 officers and soldiers as hostages, they were not sure about the reaction of the Federation.
The social atmosphere of the Federation is not as iron-blooded as that of the Empire, but that is due to the system, and the army may not be.
Qu Jianlei believes that different armies have different characteristics, and the fourth boss and Xiao Moshan both agree with this.
So they really didn't expect that the federal military would be afraid of hostages.
But after communicating with the opposite military throughout the whole process, it feels that the effect is not bad, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
Now there is an artillery blockade ahead, Qu Jianlei is really not surprised, this is already very gentle, right?
Generally speaking, the artillery threat of the blockade is greater.
What kind of barrage is like a big net or even a city wall, which will block the way.
As for the artillery fire from behind, the escapee can choose the direction of maneuver, return fire and speed up at the same time, which is less threatening.
But Qu Jianlei had communicated with Xiaohu before, and now he confirmed it again, "Is there any problem?"
The big-headed butterfly turned twice, "Don't worry, without this confidence, what independent personality are you pursuing?"
Qu Jianlei turned his head to look at Hill and shook his head slightly, "Old Xiao, take him back... The Federation has abandoned them."
Hill had been in a daze, and his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he answered very simply, "No, the Federation will not abandon anyone."
"They just did what they should do to prevent you from returning!"
Another sentimental guy, Qu Jianlei shook his head and was too lazy to say more to this guy.
"Take him down, we are going to start sprinting."
During the sprint, Xiaohu's series of abilities will be exposed, and he doesn't want this guy from the Federation to know.
Xiao Moshan also knows what is about to happen, and the artillery blockade is not a static thing.
When the fire wall is built, it will slowly advance towards its side, which is "barrage slowly advancing".
The fire wall is approaching step by step, which can force the starship to retreat little by little.
So the most important thing at the moment is time!
He grabbed Hill's collar and dragged him out of the room, "Be honest, you want to die, but we still have to go back to the empire."
Although the two have a good relationship, they are just like-minded. Since they are in different camps, he can still distinguish between public and private.
Hill did not struggle. His cultivation was banned and he could not struggle against the other party at all, but he shouted.
"Boss, can I talk to you?"
"Talk to me?" Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, "What is your identity, qualified to talk to me?"
"I know a lot of top-secret information of the Federation," Hill shouted loudly outside the room.
"Be honest," Xiao Moshan raised his hand and flicked the other party's forehead.
"Don't I know what kind of personality you have? Don't play tricks."
"I'm not playing tricks," Hill was still shouting, "I can still talk about information that can help humans resist star beasts!"
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei exclaimed. In his plan, after returning to the empire, these prisoners will be handed over to the military.
So it would be nice to get some information from the other party before the handover.
"Old Xiao, take him away first, I'll go over and take a look later."
He still has to stay in the control room and break the fire wall with Xiao Hu.
In order to destroy the fire wall, in addition to supporting the protective shield and trying to avoid artillery fire, the fire launch point must also be destroyed.
Such firepower that can implement blockades in the front is basically the front fire point.
Because it is very close to the passage, the fire point and the fire platform are unmanned.
This measure is not surprising, just like in the war on Blue Star, there must be minefields on the front positions of the two sides.
This is a means to prevent the enemy from advancing, but the floating mines in space are not effective, so a large number of unmanned fire points are placed.
The key is that these firing points are all remotely controlled, and some also have their own intelligent programs.
The stealth performance of the firepower points is good, but once the warship actively detects, except for some special types, they can basically not hide.
What is a headache is that these firepower points have strong defenses themselves.
But for Xiaohu, this is not a big deal. As long as there is a control system, it can find a way to deal with it.
However, there are really too many firepower points and firepower platforms. It is not easy to remove them one by one.
Because they are frequently affected by energy turbulence, these weapon systems do not have many energy blocks and ammunition reserves.
This is a bit close to disposable weapons, and it is not a pity to be damaged.
However, even so, the firepower points deployed here still take into account the influence of energy turbulence and electromagnetic rays.
This is caused by the development of science and technology, and it is also the reason why war costs money.
It is precisely because of this that it is not easy to invade these systems.
Many control systems are very simple-on the battlefield, tough and durable is the best choice.
However, for Xiaohu, the simpler the system, the more difficult it is to invade.
There are also some weapons that use intelligent programs, which are very tightly packaged and difficult to invade.
There are indeed many difficulties, but if Xiaohu does his best, it won't be difficult.
The main reason is that the space of the regiment-level ship is large enough and stable. Qu Jianlei even moved out a set of computing units for support.
But having that ability doesn't mean you have to do it.
Qu Jianlei and Xiaohu are used to developing in a sneaky way, and it is impossible to completely expose their cards.
So this attack must have a degree, while ensuring that it can break through the blockade, try to reduce the power of the attack.
Qu Jianlei watched Xiaohu operate for a while, and felt that it was almost the same, so he was too lazy to observe it.
Anyway, it was very convenient for them to communicate, so he turned and went to the room where Hill was imprisoned.
In the room, Xiao Moshan was telling Hill about the tragedy that happened on Planet No. 4.
They had not revealed their identities before, so he couldn't tell the story, but now he could tell it.
Hill was shocked when he heard this, "How can you imperial people be so brutal?"
"Don't force me to beat you!" Xiao Moshan said coldly, "If you hadn't caused trouble, would this have happened?"
Hill shook his head slightly and said nothing more. He still felt a little unconvinced: After all, you imperial people are too barbaric!
He thought so, naturally looking at the problem from the perspective of the federal society. The cultures of the two countries are different after all.
Qu Jianlei walked over and sat down, "What information do you have to share with us?"
Hill was still shocked by the news of Planet No. 4, and was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
"Boss, wait a minute, I want to ask first, are you evil... which department of the empire are you from?"
"I need to know who I revealed the news to, otherwise I would rather not say it."
If someone else spoke like this, Qu Jianlei would have plenty of ways to deal with him, but this person... has a similar temperament to Xiao Moshan.
So he answered casually, "It's just a small social organization... Have you heard of Digital Phantom?"
"No," Hill shook his head honestly, "I have been paying attention to the information of the Empire, but..."
"Excuse me, is your organization's history two hundred years?"
Two hundred years is not a random number. The maximum lifespan is three hundred. Organizations with less than two hundred years can generally be regarded as emerging organizations.
The founders may still be there.
Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, "Not that long, not many people, a small organization."
He didn't mind the other party's offense. It was the best that the team's news didn't reach the Alliance and the Federation, and it was convenient for action.
However, Hill shook his head, "I feel that your organization is not small. This time, there are at least three supremes coming to the Federation?"
Qu Jianlei's face sank, "I think your character is pretty good, but this is not your capital for being presumptuous."
"Okay, I apologize," Hill was willing to follow suit, "But I have another question, are you part of the military sequence?"
"No," Qu Jianlei answered casually. This guy will know these news sooner or later, and he won't hide them.
"We came here to accept the military's mission. After we go back, we will also hand you over to the military."
"To be honest, the military will not share the Federation's information with us, so I am interested in hearing some news from you now."
Hill was stunned when he heard this, "How is it possible? With your strength... will the military not share information?"
"Nothing is impossible," Xiao Moshan said, "The special operations team can conceal the information of the star beasts, but others can't?"
"You should get back to the point as soon as possible and provide us with any information."
Hill pondered for a moment and said, "What do you want to know? Just ask, I will tell you everything I can."
"But I hope that after I answer, in exchange, you can also answer some of my questions."
——————
Chapter 1375 The Real Intention
Hill's request was a bit excessive. As a prisoner, he actually had no awareness of a prisoner.
But Qu Jianlei and Xiao Moshan didn't care. There is a big difference between interrogating a prisoner and asking the other party to make a statement.
And judging from the other party's character, he is definitely a very stubborn person. It is really hard to say how much he can force out.
Qu Jianlei had a question he wanted to ask long ago, "The Federation is known for its formations. In addition to the Three Talents Formation, what other formations are there?"
Hill answered without thinking, "The most mature one is the three-person formation, but there are also five-person formations."
"In addition, there are four-person, six-person, and seven-person ones..."
"But the three are the most mature, and the five are a little less mature. The others are all under study. I don't know the specific progress."
Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows, "Then where do these formation information come from, and how can we obtain them?"
Hill really knows the origin of the information. As everyone thought, there are people in the Federation who have inherited the formation.
It's just that the person who received the inheritance didn't act carefully enough, and others found out.
Supposedly, he is also a supreme leader, but there are more than three or five supreme leaders who are targeting him.
Later, this person was forced to give the Sancai Formation to the military, hoping to get protection.
But Hill is not very sure how things will develop from now on.
After the supreme leader surrendered to the military, he died violently not long after.
As a result, only half of the battle formations of the five people were passed down, and there was only some theoretical knowledge about other formations.
However, the force that made things difficult for him was punished, and several military leaders disappeared.
In high-level circles, the most widely spread rumor is that the supreme leader actually committed suicide.
Hill believes that this statement is relatively reliable. Otherwise, what kind of honor can he get at least for his supreme contribution to the Federation.
But no, even this supreme name has been forgotten by most people.
He said with regret: If this is the case, you are indeed qualified to laugh at us.
However, listening to his tone, he still felt that the Federation was stronger than the Empire, and this matter was just an accident.
Xiao Moshan wanted to be serious with him after hearing this, but Qu Jianlei smiled and said, "Were you like this back then?"
As for where the information on other formations is, Hill said that the military has a central research institute and it should be there.
Where else could there be information, but he really didn't have it - the circle he had lived in since he was a child was in the army.
In addition, Hill also observed the three-talent formation of Qu Jianlei and his gang.
After the presentation, he expressed that he wanted to know, where did your formation come from?
Qu Jianlei just said, "Have you ever thought that the Three Talents Formation handed over by the Supreme Being was not complete?"
"I think it's very likely," Hill replied without hesitation. "In fact, there have always been such rumors."
"So the Federation has been studying how to improve the Three Talents Formation, and many versions have been derived. Unfortunately, hey..."
Qu Jianlei ignored his sorrow and asked his second question, "How many complete magical weapons does the Federation have?"
"There won't be more than twenty...thirty pieces in the army," Hill's answer always had a prefix.
"Most of the magic weapons have been lost in society, but I'm not sure how many there are specifically..."
Due to institutional problems in the federation, although the military is also very strong, local forces have a great influence on society.
Therefore, most of the magical weapons are in the hands of local forces, and it is inconvenient for the federal government to interfere excessively.
However, the military does not care much about this. They believe that the most important thing for the military is weapons, equipment and battle formations.
The magic weapon is definitely a good thing, but after many years of research, the military has determined that it is impossible to find a method that can be used universally.
So they chose a pragmatic attitude and did not compete with local governments.
Of course, if one day in the future, someone really finds the trick to using a magic weapon, it's hard to say what will happen next.
In fact, Hill was a little bit worried about this situation, especially after he saw Qu Jianlei and others using magic weapons.
"Have you found a way to use magic weapons?"
When he asked this question, his eyes were frighteningly bright.
Qu Jianlei actually hates people asking this, especially as a prisoner.
But thinking about this guy's character, and this time, including Scott's incident, he was also tricked.
So he replied, "We are currently exploring ways. It may be a bit of a coincidence."
Hill also knew in his heart that he couldn't believe all this.
Although he and the wind attribute A-level guy got along well, in the end they were prisoners and their statuses were not equal at all.
He had to try to tell the truth, but it was normal for people to be vague.
However, he did not care about it, but asked again, "Is this the research result of the empire, or..."
Qu Jianlei answered casually, "Our organization is small, and we don't know to what extent the empire's research on magical weapons has reached."
These words confirmed their advantages in this aspect, but also appropriately covered up the empire's shortcomings in this aspect.
It is said that their research on magical weapons is relatively secretive news, but many interested people in the empire have already paid attention to it.
Therefore, it is nothing to make some noise.
After all, they had already exposed their relevant abilities during the battle with Asura.
Hill nodded when he heard this, "The research results of the Empire and the Federation are still very complementary!"
"You are thinking too much," Xiao Moshan couldn't help but speak after hearing this, "The hatred between the two sides is too big now, they complement each other...what else are you thinking about?"
But Hill replied sternly, "With the star beast as a great enemy, the internal conflicts of human beings are really not worth mentioning."
"Just because others can't bring it together doesn't mean we should give up our efforts... I'm willing to give it a try."
"Hmph," Xiao Moshan shook his head indifferently, "I'm not making fun of you, but your identity and status are not good enough."
Although the other party was born in a general family and had the backing of a general, his personal strength was really lacking.
His cultivation was only A-level, and his military rank was only a major. So what if he had a lot of resources?
Qu Jianlei laughed dumbly, "Okay, don't talk about him, weren't you the same at the beginning?"
At this moment, the big-headed butterfly turned happily, "Okay, we have to break through!"
Qu Jianlei was too lazy to get up, and directly ordered, "Cut the image over."
Hill was about to speak, and suddenly found that the screen in front of him was lit, and he was stunned.
"This is... the firepower has been reduced so much, can we leave?"
While they were chatting, Xiaohu had already destroyed nearly half of the firepower points, and the firepower wall was obviously sparse.
Seeing this, Qu Jianlei was no longer in a hurry to ask Hill, and there was nothing more important than breaking through.
Although Xiaohu's ability basically did not need his help, he felt it necessary to pay attention to the whole process when encountering such a big event.
Facts have proved that the automatic defense system developed by the Federation is really good.
As the starship rushed forward, not only did the remaining firepower points turn, but new firepower points were also exposed.
This ability to set up defenses step by step is really extraordinary.
But think about it, the defense here is aimed at the imperial army that may invade, so this defense is really nothing.
It’s a pity that this system encountered a small lake, and it is difficult to cause much substantial damage to the fleet.
It’s really that the big-headed butterfly is a little skeptical, "I sense that there are still many firepower points around, why don’t they attack us?"
Qu Jianlei answered without thinking, "The distance is too far, not to mention the waste of energy, it’s not easy to aim."
"Of course, the most important thing is... once the firepower points are figured out, the home advantage will be greatly reduced."
"This is used to stop the imperial army. How could it be possible to expose the layout for a small regiment-level ship?"
This is also the truth. Through active detection, it can be found that there are too many preset firepower points in this space.
But if it is not a battle at the campaign level, it is impossible to activate all the firepower points.
Although Qu Jianlei and his party were obvious enemies and had taken away a Federation regiment-level ship, it was still not worth opening fire.
Unless the Operations Department could clearly inform the front-line theater that there were at least three Supremes and more than ten Supremes in the other party.
Only in that way could all combat equipment be activated - even this was not 100% certain.
Campaign-level combat preparations were not something that could be activated under normal circumstances.
Not to mention that there were many Federation soldiers on the regiment-level ship, and launching a full-scale war to prepare against their own people - it was difficult to explain in the front-line theater.
In short, although the blockade was ridiculously strong and it was not suitable to force it openly, the three starships actually broke in.
The movement of the three starships was mediocre, occasionally a little erratic, but they avoided most of the attacks.
The remaining attacks were resisted by the starships - since the protective shield was upgraded, wouldn't it be a pity not to use it?
As for the relatively mediocre movement, it was actually intentional by Xiaohu. If it was more erratic, it could avoid more artillery.
But why bother? Wouldn't it be better to just "escape in a panic"?
In fact, even with this result, the soldiers in the front-line war zone were stunned. How could it be so easy to break through the blockade?
The atmosphere in the command center was very solemn. Everyone had no expression on their faces and silently stared at the direction of movement of the three starships.
They have received reports that many firepower points participating in the firepower blockade are being damaged rapidly.
The damage method is not very certain, but in addition to artillery attacks, there should be some electromagnetic interference.
The lieutenant general pinched his eyebrows, frowned and muttered softly.
"These people are not here this time to test how to destroy the blockade firepower?"
He really couldn't help thinking so. The Operations Department said that this group of people was powerful, and he thought there might be more high-level awakeners.
But now it seems that the other side's star war means are the most powerful.
It is common for the Empire and the Federation to test each other from time to time on the front line.
Looking at the current situation, is it possible that a new round of war is about to begin?
