Chapter 1537: Brigadier General Lost Contact
Although the military and the government were arguing, this did not affect Tianyu's rapid global manhunt.
However, the government's questioning of the more than 100 explosion points was obviously a bit of a slap in the face of the military - are they saying that our capabilities are not good enough?
As for the Empire's near-earth jump technology, this judgment came from the highest level of the alliance.
The basis for the judgment came from the last fire and fire on Taigu Star.
After that incident, the alliance sent a very high-level investigation team, took some samples and energy breath and left.
Later, news came that the upper level determined that the Digital Phantom could come and go freely, and it should have used the "near-earth jump" technology.
As for how it was determined, no one explained, but Taigu's family murder case should have involved the silencing of similar information.
Just as Qu Jianlei and others guessed, the alliance's pursuit of fugitives was indeed not for pursuit, but to find traces of near-earth jumps.
This action is being promoted by the entire alliance. It stands to reason that if the upper level is not sure, it is impossible to make such a big fuss.
The military felt that they were being targeted badly - this is not what we said, it was the judgment of the top leaders, if you have the guts, ask your superiors!
So they said, since you think we are not capable enough, then the global search mission should be led by the government.
The military can cooperate, but we will not take the lead, okay?
The response of the Tianyu government was: Since you are not taking the lead, we will ask local troops to assist vigorously, there should be no problem, right?
The Blue Light Star Region is one of the initiators of the alliance, and there is not much separatist momentum in the local area.
But there is no doubt that there are still local interests, so it is understandable to say this.
The military almost cursed when they heard this, how many troops do we have directly under the military?
Of course, no matter how much they argue, they still have to do what they should do, but the intensity... at least it will definitely affect their mood.
After Qu Jianlei and his team left Tianyu, they ran all the way.
Occasionally, there will be one or two company-level ships or even anti-smuggling ships behind them, but they will not turn around to deal with them at all.
The enemy was chasing closely, so the regimental ship sent out a small ship, and even if it collided, it would destroy the enemy.
The small ship was the same as the ship that had collided with the space fortress before, all of which were damaged warships of the Empire.
They were behind the enemy, and it was troublesome to repair these small ships, and it was a pity to throw them away, so it was better to recycle them.
After several such attacks, the starships chasing behind them disappeared, and there were no traces of them even far away.
In the end, the timing of leaving was well chosen, and everyone was caught off guard.
It was hard to say whether there was anyone chasing them a little further back, but the delay would definitely not be short.
When the situation stabilized, Qu Jianlei said, "I want to go to Jia Shuiqing to see if she has annihilated the enemy."
As he was talking, the teleportation array of the regimental ship flashed white light, and Jia Shuiqing's clone came.
She said that the battle had reached its final stage, but the enemy was resisting fiercely, and her side was also a bit troubled.
Not long ago, she received a large number of small ships and found that the unmanned attack was very effective. She hoped to get another batch.
Qu Jianlei was a little surprised, "Little... Can't artificial intelligence seize control of the enemy ship?"
Jia Shuiqing shook his head when he heard it, "The enemy has a little more starships, that's the organization of two regiments!"
In the final analysis, Xiaohu's computing power is not enough, after all, it's just a few portable terminals.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll go and take a look with you. The battle there must end as soon as possible."
"Then let's go and take a look together," Jing Yuexin said calmly, "I brought the battalion-level ship with us."
Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard it, "The battalion-level ship with our painted markings?"
"Yes," Jing Yuexin nodded, "I saw that you almost forgot about it, so I brought it."
"I let it guard the house!" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at her, "But forget it, let's go together."
Seeing that the two of them were talking lively, Duo Gan also joined in the fun, "Then let's go and take a look together."
In the end, only Bentley was left in the group, "Okay, then I'll guard the house."
After teleporting over, everyone found that the battle was really stalemate, and the space was full of starship wreckage.
Qu Jianlei glanced at it and asked in his heart, "How much more computing power do I need to win this battle?"
"Five Vortex IIs!" Big-headed Butterfly turned slowly, "The opponent mainly has a digital combat system."
Qu Jianlei frowned when he heard it, "Is the digital combat system so worthless?"
"It's just a semi-finished product," Big-headed Butterfly answered casually, "If you really give me a computing unit, I can beat them directly."
However, there was no way. Before this battle, the Empire's battalion-level ships did not even have artificial intelligence installed.
In the fleet led by Old Lady Jia, Xiaohu's computing center could only be placed on the company-level ship, and the space limited the computing power.
Qu Jianlei glanced at Jia Shuiqing, took out five Vortex IIs, and said lightly, "This is enough."
Old Lady Jia understood it immediately and couldn't help frowning, "These guys in the military, alas."
The fourth boss also sighed heavily, "It really hurts people."
He knew all the bad habits of the military, but he could only grumble.
He couldn't quite understand the battlefield at the moment, but a rough estimate showed that the casualties of the imperial soldiers were at least in the double digits.
The total number of this small imperial force that came to harass the enemy was just over a thousand, less than one thousand and one.
The loss of so many soldiers at once is not a small amount. The squadron only has a total of 400 people.
Jia Shuiqing... is old and mature, but he still has a condescending mentality towards outsiders.
Mrs. Jia seemed to sense his slander, and actually glanced at him, "The casualties are not that big."
"But boss, are these small ships captured as much as possible?"
"Well, of course," Qu Jianlei nodded, "You can use these five whirlpools while we deal with the paranoia."
"Sure," Mrs. Jia nodded simply, "If there are any questions, I'll contact you again."
The next moment, there was a flash of white light, and everyone disappeared in an instant, just as suddenly as they came.
Mrs. Jia blinked, then shook her head and murmured in a low voice.
"Without comparison, how can we show the value of kindness? This is all I can do."
When Qu Jianlei and the others teleported to the division ship, they happened to catch up with Paranoid and Qing Hu chatting.
Seeing them coming, the paranoid eyes lit up, "Is Tianyu's matter settled?"
"That's it," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "I'm just trying to distract the military's attention. The effect is hard to say."
"It'll be great if you can come back in time," the paranoid man breathed a sigh of relief, "otherwise, I'd still consider going to Tianyu."
His fleet is only half a day's journey from location three, and Qu Jianlei's fleet is still more than two hours away.
When this fleet rushes over, it may not even have time to ambush.
Qu Jianlei nodded, "Can you tell me the details?"
There is nothing to say about the details. The troops chasing him were also two regiments, and they were very tight.
Finally, the paranoid man knew that the boss had replenished the enemy's small ships and sent out unmanned attack ships to block the pursuers.
But don’t mention it, Xiaohu’s artificial intelligence paired with driverless driving is really a perfect match, but the effect should not be too good.
Qu Jianlei nodded and handed the paranoid a storage ring, "It contains a computing unit worth 800 million."
"I only have one request. When the counterattack begins, quickly seize the opponent's control system!"
"Leave it to me," Paranoid nodded, answering without hesitation.
There is nothing to say about the battle that follows.
The two squadrons of the empire have merged, plus the division-class ships, what suspense can there be about the outcome?
The only suspense is, how much relevant battle information will be spread?
This time Xiaohu fought for control very resolutely, but the process still lasted four or five minutes.
Once all the starships are controlled, the battle can be considered over.
But the aftermath alone lasted five hours.
This time the number of prisoners was greater than last time, leaving more small ships that could be used.
While the battlefield was being cleaned, Jia Shuiqing teleported over, "I'm done over there. You guys want to help...well, it doesn't look like you need it."
Qu Jianlei glanced at her and asked, "Will there be reinforcements later?"
"I don't know," Jia Shuiqing took out a Whirlpool II, "Just ask it, I have to go back and arrange to clean up the battlefield."
"Where shall we meet?"
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, "I want to wait here and see who else they come."
"Okay, we'll try our best to get here," Jia Shuiqing said with unusual simplicity, "It'll take about two days, keep in touch."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the teleportation array. The white light flashed and she teleported away again.
Others didn't notice her behavior, but Dogan couldn't help but say, "She seems to be more suitable for foreign battlefields."
For a long time, Jia Shui Liang was responsible for the team's combat effectiveness, but he has always been very low-key in his work.
People who are accustomed to her style can hardly imagine how glorious she once was.
It wasn't until this moment that she showed the decisiveness and responsibility of a generation of geniuses.
Paranoid glanced at her, "Can you find someone on the team who's even worse?"
Duo Gan was silent when she heard this. Until now, there were really not many people who could catch her eye.
Not to mention her own subordinates, there are Ke Fu and others who vote for the supreme. Only speaking of the supreme, there are not many who can convince her.
But at this moment, she really realized that everyone has their own shining point.
There are many reasons for lack of sparkle, but environment is definitely one of the biggest reasons!
At the same time, Tianyu finally received the battle report from the front, and Brigadier General Bobis lost contact! The fleet he led also lost contact!
More than half a day's flight behind him, there is a real elite support force, which is an entire space division.
However, this division rushed slowly and hurriedly, and only received intermittent messages such as "encountering a strong enemy".
They found the place where the accident was suspected, but all they saw were starship fragments in the sky.
