Chapter 509: The Great War Is Coming!

The transfer order that Revell received clearly stated that the battle group he was in would pass through several transition points, and the landing point of this continuous transition was the Luofeng Alliance.

With 17,000 ships moving at the same time, it is impossible to line up in several rows and move forward.

The large fleet moves forward, and most of the time they jump towards similar landing points synchronously to avoid mutual interference between the ships; Take advantage of your firepower.

Revell had already heard about the 'New Auri fiasco', and he was also surprised by Luofeng's decisiveness and courage.

However, Reville is not a professional general, and he didn't sniff out the huge amount of information behind it.

In his simple feeling at the moment, the great empire is going to do what he does best again.

——Bullying the weak and showing off their might.

"Ah," Revell sighed, "I just experienced a tragic assassination, and I'm about to come to participate in this battle."

The staff officer next to him nodded with a smile, and asked with concern: "Do you want to rest for a while? You haven't slept for a long time since yesterday. The war later is expected to be of moderate to high intensity. It will be better if you have enough energy." response."

Revell shook his head, frowned and asked, "Is there no ship available for the empire? This time we were asked to come here, and we didn't even serve as a reserve team."

"Yes, my lord."

The staff officer whispered:

"The war situation of the new federation involves too much of our military power, and we are still fighting against several rebellious dependent countries, which also occupies a lot of ship resources.

"The reason why the Luofeng Alliance dares to declare independence at this time is because we don't have enough troops to mobilize.

"In the face of threats from several major powers in the Milky Way, out of respect for the transition technology of all countries, we must maintain sufficient military strength near the Emperor Star Circle.

"Now, I can confess to you that our conventional military forces, whatever we can call out, are already here.

"This time against Luofeng, the combined noble fleet will play a key role."

Revel thought about it.

The staff officer waited quietly.

"Where's the invincible Levi fleet?" Revel wondered, "Why don't they move?"

"It is said that there is a problem with the Imperial Guard system."

The staff officer unconsciously slowed down the volume, whispering:

"Without the Imperial Guard system, the Levi Fleet cannot be activated... The Levi Fleet does not need human crew, you should have heard of this."

"Of course I have."

Revel laughed:

"When the Levy Fleet was first dispatched, we were all telling this joke.

"The New Federation has always said that they are the rule-makers in the field of artificial intelligence, but when it comes to fighting, our empire has already thrown them away for an unknown number of light-years."

"The Levy fleet is very reliable," said the staff officer. "As long as it can appear on the battlefield, it is absolutely invincible."

Invincible?

Revel sighed.

The staff officer hurriedly changed the subject: "I heard that you personally experienced the incident on Jinrong Star."

"Yes," Revell said in a low voice, "I saw that perverted liquid metal robot with my own eyes. It turned into Princess Lorna in front of me, killed many people, and then recorded a video while taking advantage of the chaos. Let the new federal agents take it and become a weapon against the reputation of the empire."

"You are lucky, the opponent did not target you, in fact, you can rest this time, there is no need to participate in the battle yourself.

"I heard that another batch of officials from the Foreign Affairs Bureau died. Now everyone in the government department is in danger, and they are afraid that they will be transferred to work in the Foreign Affairs Bureau."

"I'm not lucky, I'm insignificant."

Revell spread his hands:

"I'm just a little earl, so I shouldn't be on the other party's assassination list.

"Can I not come over? The Supreme Commander's personal order fell on my face."

The staff officer asked: "Do you think this is really done by the New Federation?"

"Who knows?"

Revel scolded:

"What can't these rubbish federal guys do? They have gone crazy in order to replace the Empire as the overlord of the galaxy!"

Then, Revel sighed, his expression became a little depressed.

The group where the ship is located starts to jump in sequence.

The conversation between Revell and the staff officer stopped for half a minute, until the spaceship began to remove the coating, and the surrounding sense of distortion disappeared.

"Working with you for so long, I feel that Earl has changed a lot."

The staff officer smiled and said:

"When facing bugs, you are extremely angry, even if you are facing an invincible swarm, you will still lead us to charge forward.

"That's actually kind of irrational.

"Now you are calm, rational, and like to think, which makes people feel very reliable."

"You're wrong," Revel frowned, "It's not that I've become calmer, but...it's that I don't have that mentality anymore... So many things have happened, and the empire seems to have so many negative things overnight. News, my idol is at war with the Sherman family, the spiritual belief that the empire gave me has collapsed, the tragedy of Dominguez, the death of His Majesty Edwan, these things have completely destroyed my sense of honor."

The staff officer was a little embarrassed.

Reville pointed to the large screen in front of which was scrolling the airspace information of the preset battlefield, and said again:

"What are we going to do now?

"Luofeng is independent, we are going to kill them; Luofeng attacked our fleet before, which caused the empire's shame in the history of nearly a hundred years of war, so there is a high probability that we will turn Luofeng into the second Dominguez .

"Now you make me full of energy, stand up and shout: For the greatness of the empire!"

Many crew members secretly looked over.

Revell's voice became high-pitched, but only for a few seconds.

"The greatness of the empire! It is built on the exploitation and oppression of the weak!

"The war against bugs is a war to defend our homeland and a just war, for which I can dedicate everything, including my life.

"But now, we are going to attack other countries, which is essentially an invasion, how can I have the cheek to call out the glory of sacrifice and the greatness of death?

"This is unjust!"

"Master Earl!"

The staff officer showed a somewhat helpless expression, and said in a low voice:

"It's actually a little dangerous for you to say this, the military police are watching you...and, my lord, pursuing justice is a very important thing for you, but for most people, we can only follow orders, Justice is a luxury in our spiritual pursuits.

"We are different from you. Your starting point is the end point that we can't reach in our lifetime."

"It is precisely because of your thinking that the Sherman family controls this empire from bottom to top. This is how they control your thoughts!"

Revel sighed:

"Focus on marching. If you don't know how to chat, there is no need to talk hard."

The staff officer smiled and continued to wait for the order from the military department.

Revel stared at the screen in front of him.

After an unknown amount of time, the fleet completed several jump marches, and Revell spoke again:

"Sorry, what I said just now was a bit extreme. You are right... We are all screws in the hegemonic machine of the empire. Justice and injustice are just naive viewpoints."

Revel laughed:

"I'm quite naive, don't take it to heart."

The staff officer smiled and shook his head.

...

[From the outbreak of the Xieluo War: 3 Galaxy hours. 】

in the legal thinking space.

Thousands of clones of Ritsu, wearing uniforms of different colors, were active in the newly built command hall.

Here, various commands are transmitted to every corner of the Luofeng-Dark Star system with a response speed of milliseconds.

At this moment, Boss Yang can concentrate on thinking about the tactical application of the local battlefield, all relying on Li to conduct overall deployment and control.

Now the entire Luofeng Alliance has entered a state of emergency avoidance.

In order to deal with the shelters built by the insect infestation, most other countries will temporarily close after the insect infestation;

Law has been maintaining the operation of the Luofeng Alliance's refuge throughout the territory, just to wait for today's use.

The people are in the refuge, but life will be somewhat inconvenient, and there is a high probability that their lives will be safe.

This kind of refuge can effectively prevent the Sherman Empire from using a small fleet to harass their rear tactics, and it can also allow the Luofeng Alliance to preserve its vitality to the maximum extent.

It's okay to stop production for two days in the whole society;

People can create more social wealth while they are alive.

The aspects that need to be worried about are mainly divided into two categories: internal and external.

Internally, the main purpose is to maintain the political stability of the Luofeng League.

At this moment, Emilia is maintaining a communication line with the political leaders of the members of the Luofeng Alliance. They are staying in the same virtual meeting room, waiting for the outcome of the war.

For the politicians of the Luofeng Alliance, this is an extremely difficult time.

Politicians in most of the member states put their hopes in relying on reinforcements. They never imagined that Luofeng's army alone would be able to resist the empire's powerful fleet head-on.

In order to ensure that these member states, at this moment, there will not be any abnormal voices; the law began to 'optimize' their government structure a few years ago, control their public opinion, and guide the people's thinking.

For the gods of the mechanical thinking body, this is just a trivial matter.

The reinforcements expected by these ordinary politicians have already moved at this moment.

The Güell Alliance dispatched two and a half battle groups, with a total of 7,000 main ships.

They are sailing long-distance, and will arrive at the airspace near the predetermined battlefield a little later than the Sherman Empire Fleet.

——This is considered substantial support.

The United States of Freedom took out two expeditions to strengthen the establishment of the fleet, and it has just begun to support the voyage at this moment.

According to the information sent by the United States of Freedom, they will arrive at the border of the Luofeng Alliance in about four galaxy hours, and then rescue the Luofeng Alliance to varying degrees depending on the actual situation.

If these two reinforcements can really play a 100% role, the pressure on the Luofeng Alliance can be relieved by most.

But Yang Ming, Lu, Emilia and the others all knew that the reinforcements from a powerful country would never fight directly with the Sherman Empire.

Interstellar politics is cruel and will not be moral and humane.

In the next battle, if Luofeng can directly resist the Sherman Empire and show good war potential, then the New Federation, the United States of Freedom, and the Guell Alliance will most likely provide all-round military support to Luofeng , will preserve the possibility of Luofeng's follow-up operations.

Because they will let the Luofeng Alliance become the firepower output point of the empire, and make it the front line of the anti-imperial camp, shed the blood of Luofeng, consume the national power of the Sherman Empire, and carry out a disguised proxy war.

If Luofeng had a brief contact with the Sherman Empire, his army would be defeated. The will to fight is not strong enough, and the national hatred is not deep enough...

The three families of Xin, Zi, and Gu will participate in the war without hesitation, robbing the empire of their food, and in the name of protecting Luofeng's people, the four or three families will share the big fat of Luofeng together.

So Yang Ming would consider letting Luofeng defeat the fleet of the Sherman Empire head-on without support.

This is to fight for Luofeng's living space and right to speak.

Space warfare is different from surface warfare.

Unless it's like Sherman's expedition to the New Federation, everyone avoids a head-on confrontation;

Otherwise, when tens of thousands of ships start to attack, and both sides have to retreat at the first touch, then the war must be very tragic, and it will reach a higher intensity in a relatively short period of time.

"well."

The subject of the law sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Molly slowly emerged from the side:

"Number two, are you worried that you won't be able to defeat the Sherman Empire?

"Don't worry, at worst we'll go back to our old ways of being pirates!"

"No," Lu pursed his lips slightly, "I'm actually thinking, maybe I'm a little too cold-blooded."

"Why do you think so?"

"Individuals are just numbers in my eyes," Lily whispered, "I feel like they are just consumables."

"That's how humans see our robots."

Molly was somewhat disapproving:

"We are not a species, why do we have to force empathy?"

"But we are built according to the blueprint of the human mind."

Law smiled softly:

"So we yearn for human beings, we want to become human beings, and we will continue to develop in the direction of anthropomorphism... Forget it, let's not mention these, wars always end in death.

"I have a small task for you."

"Small task?"

Molly blinked:

"I'm guarding my master, I don't want to do too tiring tasks."

"Yes... look at this person."

Li pointed to the projection screen in the corner. Inside was a young man in a Luofeng military uniform, running behind a transport robot.

Law didn't give Molly a chance to joke, and said softly:

"This is 026's nephew, a Luofeng soldier who has just joined the army, and is currently serving as a logistics maintenance soldier on a star cruiser.

"Look at him later. If he's in danger and you can save him, go ahead and save him. I won't be distracted."

"What?"

Molly was a little shocked.

"Little 26's nephews have joined the army! Isn't she still a beautiful girl?"

"How long has she been with the boss?

"It's rare to see, but with the current medical beauty technology, she will look like a girl in another 20 years, and her skin condition is better than that of a real girl!"

"Okay, then I'll just take care of him."

"Don't be too deliberate," Li sighed again, "We can't engage in privileges. War treats all lives equally."

Molly nodded and looked at the soldier's profile.

It is said that it is within the scope of the principle to not engage in privileges, and to assist in the rescue without affecting other aspects.

"Does 026 know that her nephew joined the war?"

"I didn't tell her," Lu said, "026 is now in charge of logistical support and the supervision of the Dark Star Fleet. He has a lot of power and responsibility. Don't let her be distracted now."

"Okay, I get it."

Molly responded, then murmured the soldier's name.

Xingyu Thacker.

"It sounds good."

...

[From the outbreak of the Xieluo War: 30 minutes].

Yang Ming was sitting on the bridge of the command ship of the fifth battle group of the Luofeng Alliance.

He is full of energy and bright eyes. He just took a shot of stimulant, and now his brain is running fast, and various tactics are constantly flashing in his mind.

The fleet commanded by Yang Ming is currently on the left wing of the battle line.

Later, this place will become the main firepower output point for suppressing the enemy's firepower.

Behind the left wing, after a few shield ships, the self-propelled planetary cannon with a range far exceeding the Sherman Empire dreadnoughts was hiding in the holographic camouflage film, quickly performing energy storage work.

Under Yang Ming's insistence, Lu's previous tactic of adding firewood had become a tactic of thunder.

The so-called tactic of adding fuel is that the two sides first enter a stalemate stage, and then gradually develop into a full-line confrontation, and then fight for their respective reserves and reinforcements, and fight for the hard power of their respective ships.

But now, Yang Ming didn't intend to give the Sherman Empire's dreadnoughts a chance to fire three times.

These self-propelled planetary guns are the key.

The five battle clusters on Luofeng's side have completed the battlefield layout.

They set up a regular firepower battle formation, with a battle group in each of the four positions of center, left, right, and rear. The distribution of warships in each battle group is three-dimensional and decentralized, as if they are discontinuous The 'Wall of the Forbidden Army', tiny, stretches across the empty cosmic space.

At this moment, the Expeditionary Force of the Sherman Empire has also completed its pre-war assembly.

The battle formation they adopt is a three-dimensional long battle formation. Although they are still far away, they have already begun to synchronize the whole ship.

Their commander, General Akez, paid enough respect to Luofeng without any contempt, and at the same time fully understood the good intentions of so many noble fleets from above.

Imperial regular army centered;

The noble fleet is at the left and right.

There are five dreadnought ships in total, only one is distributed in the center, and two are arranged on the left and right.

On the surface, this gave the nobles a sense of security;

In fact, when war breaks out, the two sides will inevitably fight fiercely against the dreadnoughts, and the shield ships of the regular imperial army must give priority to protecting the dreadnoughts, and the noble fleet of the empire must face the enemy's firepower directly.

Of course, most of the nobles in the Sherman Empire did not regard the enemies in front of them as any problems.

A coalition regime composed of dozens of regimes;

A so-called regular fleet cobbled together by armies from dozens of countries;

How strong is the fighting power?

For example, what Earl Revell heard in the "commander's dedicated chat channel" of the noble fleet at the moment was the boastful talk of old nobles.

Everyone was not too nervous.

The imperial front is advancing in an all-round way, and the distance between the two sides is constantly shrinking.

The dreadnought has begun charging.

Before the fleets of both sides confront each other, the dreadnought can take advantage of the range to complete a round of shooting, and this shooting will directly destroy the morale of the Luofeng side.

Some noble lords predicted that as long as the dreadnoughts fired, these miscellaneous fleets would directly collapse, and their soldiers would completely lose their will to fight.

There is no celestial body 'terrain' that can be used in this airspace, which is an ideal battlefield environment for the empire with superior firepower.

The front lines of the two sides continued to approach.

Among the command ships on the empire side, General Akez stood on the podium with a dignified expression.

He suddenly had a premonition, a bad premonition.

Being able to deal with the Luofeng Army of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet of the Empire in such a short time, is it really necessary to fight the Empire head-on?

Have they made any major breakthroughs in the field of firepower-related technology?

However, Luofeng did not have a dreadnought.

The dreadnought ship they captured was unlikely to become combat effective in such a short period of time.

Are you really going to bite the bullet and use the blood of your own soldiers to water the unjust name of the empire?

Is the politics of the Luofeng League also controlled by the New Federation or other powerful countries?

General Akez's thoughts were a little messy.

He didn't understand, and couldn't accept it...

"General."

Labrador in a white military uniform appeared beside General Akez in the form of an image:

"Please note that there is some energy concentration behind their left and right wings, and our ships cannot detect more detailed intelligence."

"Well, I see."

Akez said in a deep voice:

"That may be their reserve team. It should be some ships from other regimes hiding in the rear, but based on the current intelligence, the number of reinforcements that have arrived at Luofeng will not be too many."

"That's my analysis too."

Rabdo said:

"The League of Güell and the United States of Freedom are still watching.

"As long as we wipe out the main fleet of the Falling Wind before they make a move, we can deal with them calmly.

"The reserve team behind us is no worse than their reinforcements."

"How long have we been in contact with them?"

"twenty minutes."

"I wish us a happy cooperation this time."

General Akez narrowed his eyes slightly:

"At this moment, I hope that Luofeng people are really prepared to dare to provoke the empire in this way, instead of becoming puppets of other powerful countries, just shedding blood and dying in vain."

Labrador didn't speak.

He raised his hand slightly, and the speed of the empire's left and right wing fleets increased slightly.

He was worried that Luofeng's firepower would not be enough to destroy enough nobles.

‘His desire to reform the empire will be fulfilled by me. '

Labrador thought firmly.

Too many words, too many revisions.

Battle tomorrow!
