Chapter 424 Atlas Battle Fleet: Received

Chapter 424 Atlas Battle Fleet: Received~

"We became their temporary ally in Atlas' asteroid base, ready to face the attack of more than a thousand warships of the military-industrial complex. Why do you think things turned out like this?"

In the core command room of A. Bawa Ku, Van Fleet looked at the composite image sent back by the early warning terminal on the screen and couldn't help but sigh.

Standing next to him, Vice Admiral Guterres of the Federal Navy shook his head as he looked at the picture on the screen, and sighed:

"Who should I ask if you ask me? I didn't expect things to go this far. I thought my life would end in the tavern."

"Who knew Atlas would suddenly come out and interfere, right?" Van Fleet turned his head to look at this real 'brother in distress' - in his opinion, Guterres was also a 'brother in distress'.

"At first I didn't know it was Atlas who did it, because I was just helping with the illusory electronic warfare attack. It wasn't until I was secretly sent to the spaceport and hid in the cargo ship and finally saw you that I guessed it was Atlas who helped us behind the scenes."

"What do you think now?"

"Let's stay here and finish the battle first. No matter what grudges there are between Atlas and the Federation, they saved me and my family when we were in the most dangerous time. I must find a way to repay this favor."

At this point, Guterres thought of his family who were placed in the living area of ​​the asteroid base. Helping Atlas is actually helping himself, so he quickly convinced himself.

Although Van Fleet next to him didn't speak, his thoughts were actually similar to Guterres's, and the unusually comfortable living area in the asteroid base also made him firm again that Atlas was far ahead of the Federation and the Empire in many technologies.

The living area of ​​the common asteroid base is generally a space excavated inside the asteroid, and then a bunch of furniture and life supplies are added after some airtight treatment.

It can only be said that it meets the basic survival needs of humans and has nothing to do with comfort, but the living area of ​​A. Bawa Ku completely subverts Van Fleet's cognition.

Under the action of some gravity control technology, the entire living area is covered with gravity suitable for human survival, and the flat excavation space is completely covered with composite materials, without any rock wall structure exposed.

The orderly and scientifically divided buildings, the roads that extend in all directions, the employees on vacation walking on the streets, and the vehicles on the road all make it look like it is not inside an asteroid at all, and the environment is better than most satellite cities.

The simulated sky and sunlight on the dome even made Van Fleet feel that he was on the ground.

In the cognition of this lieutenant general of the army, who is already "well-informed", he has never heard of any other asteroid base that can reach this level of construction.

This is not just a cost issue, but also involves a lot of technical issues.

Combined with Van Fleet's previous quick glance at Atlas' military technology on Pyra IV, he also convinced him that this company is definitely not as simple as others think.

Five days ago, when the two of them came to the asteroid base with their families, they met with Amber and talked for a long time.

As soon as they came, the two of them asked Amber why she did this, whether she wanted to "recruit" them through such actions, and then turn against the Federation.

However, Amber's answer at that time was indeed very direct, and she directly said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since the military-industrial complex wants to deal with the two generals, there is no problem in temporarily becoming an ally of Atlas~"

It was precisely because of these completely undisguised words, coupled with the news that the joint fleet of the military-industrial complex had come, that Van Fleet and Guterres temporarily put aside other ideas and decided to get through this hurdle first.

Of course, for Amber, this time the action led by Lilith, in addition to successfully bringing back two generals for him, there was also an unexpected gain - that is, he found that Lilith seemed to be fiddling with something behind his back.

This was a very dangerous signal, and it also caused Amber's "Crimson Queen PTSD" to start to attack, and finally made him immediately find Lilith.

However, although the latter admitted that he was indeed doing something, he said that he absolutely did not betray Amber, and everything he did was for Atlas. At the same time, he promised to wait until the crisis of A·Bava·Ku was resolved before admitting his mistakes to Amber.

Although Amber was indeed very curious about what Lilith was doing, as the early warning terminal captured more and more fleets in these days, he also knew that this was not a good time to discuss these things.

Time returned to the present, after the commander-in-chief Megan Ford issued an order, the joint fleet of the military-industrial complex maintained a huge box formation and approached the direction of A·Bava·Ku.

However, just the maneuvering of more than 1,400 warships made Megan feel a little stressed, and at the same time, she was glad that she did not simultaneously organize the pirate fleet with another 400 warships.

The uneven training levels of the various corporate fleets and the very different ship preparation states made the huge box formation at risk of deformation and disintegration during the maneuvering process.

If the less disciplined pirate fleet is brought over to form, there may be a risk that the formation of our own fleet will collapse before it even enters attack range.

"I feel that some companies maintain these fleets just for the sake of 'maintaining'. The personnel training and ship maintenance are extremely different. To say that they 'exist a fleet' is a bit flattering to them."

Looking at the three-dimensional model of the fleet displayed on the holographic projection platform, Megan said with a headache. Although the current combined fleet looked huge, he knew that it was actually a paper tiger.

Fortunately, what they have to deal with this time is just a private company. Although their fleet seems to be higher in technology and training than the coalition fleet, the gap in hard power between the two sides is still too big anyway.

"In most cases, the private fleet's 'existence value' is higher than its 'actual combat value', isn't it?"

After hearing his superior’s complaint, Meghan’s adjutant Bell said with a smile:

"And the commander of the fleet is also you, a former professional soldier. It's much better than commanding them themselves. I believe that as long as we act steadily, there won't be any big problems."

"Oh, I hope so"

Megan sighed, and then looked at the huge rubble belt between the fleet and the asteroid fortress on the star map. This giant rubble belt almost 'half-wrapped' the asteroid base looked like it should be nature. It is accomplished through a combination of miraculous craftsmanship and human intervention.

After all, it is difficult for the naturally formed gravel belt to cover the asteroid base exactly, and it also deliberately left a passage for ships to enter and exit.

Therefore, it is more likely that this is the effect of Atlas' processing on the basis of the original gravel belt. This area is the opponent's mining area. Under the operation of a large number of mining ships, as long as there is enough time, It's not that hard to do.

Megan looked at the gravel belt and thought for a long time, and finally decided to let the fleet adjust its course and go around the edge.

Judging from the current level of the entire fleet, if he continued to maintain the formation across the past, he was afraid that casualties might occur before entering the battle. And if the disbanded formation dispersed and passed through, it would be easy for the opponent to seize and defeat them one by one, so he only Can choose the most conservative 'detour'.

After the fleet broadcast was turned on through the general command authority, the instructions from the flagship were quickly conveyed.

Battleship Hood: "This is the flagship of the combined fleet, the Hood. Now the fleet order is issued - the entire fleet begins to adjust their orbits and prepare for detours based on the synchronized updated information. Please be sure to keep the formation intact during the maneuver!"

Nutang Group combat fleet: "Copy that!"

Deep Space Mining Combat Fleet: "Roger!"

Gabriel Biological Group Combat Fleet: "Roger!"

Atlas Battle Fleet: "Received~"

Pochi Heavy Work Battle Fleet: "Copy that!"

USS Hood: "?"
