Him and their stars.

Chapter 1091 Red and Black Notes
There is one thing to say, in terms of the firepower of a capital ship, a standard astronomical unit is really not an absolute safe distance, but this is after all a convention that has existed since the early days of the era of great interstellar navigation and has been regulated by national public law.To put it bluntly, what people on Earth want is an attitude.

Lieutenant Colonel Horatio Wayne maintained a polite, restrained, but unshakable expression as he stared firmly at King Suliuka behind the opposite light curtain.

Perhaps because of signal transmission, the figure of the elected emperor on the stretched screen is not so clear, as if covered with a hazy mist.But because of this, that unparalleled gorgeous appearance and cold temperament seemed to be smeared with a layer of deep and majestic divinity.

On the side of the community, the officers and men on the four destroyers were all paying attention to the communication.Through the light curtain, they all felt that the Dragon King from the Galactic Empire was overlooking them, as if he was overlooking a group of ants.

Indeed, there are only three Fletcher 3 destroyers and one Destroyer 2 destroyer on the Earth side. If you encounter the remnants of the predators, you can happily rush over and bite them, while on the opposite side there are more than 100 mighty destroyers The most cutting-edge high-speed warships of the empire, what is the difference between them and ants?

Not to mention the resplendent Titan ship, and a large number of high-speed battle cruisers and aircraft carriers, just the few cruisers used for reconnaissance in the vicinity are enough to wipe out one's own side for three to five rounds.

Earthlings are even less likely to escape.Although the destroyer is a high-speed light warship, the imperial army on the opposite side is also a high-speed warship.More importantly, no matter how fast a battleship is, it is impossible to outrun the shells.As long as a round of dense barrage bombards from the opposite side, once one's own ship is injured and its speed slows down, it will only become a prey to be slaughtered by the opponent.

If it was really a "smart person", he should have withdrawn secretly when he discovered the arrival of the imperial fleet.

However, Horatio Wayne was never a "smart man" in the worldly sense.

He calmly watched behind the light curtain, the elected emperor who seemed to have a hint of divine coercion, repeated his request, and then said: "In order to ensure the legitimate rights of our country, we will always remain on guard. In addition, We have already reported the situation here and reported it to the rear headquarters as soon as possible. If there are no accidents, the Independence should receive the communication today, and the Unity Cyprus will arrive within this week."

"And after ten days or so, even the earth will be known, right?" Brunhilt laughed.

If it was replaced by other imperial military nobles with abundant military virtues and bad temper, they might take this as a signal of an escalation of provocation.However, Brunhilt only kept a dignified and graceful smile all the time, and said in a neutral manner: "Lieutenant Colonel Wayne, do you think you have logbooks as evidence?"

Wayne nodded and was about to say something more.The Miss Emperor interrupted the other party and said: "However, you can't prove that your diary is not forged. Besides, this is the New World after all, Lieutenant Colonel Wayne."

"However, according to the 803th Amendment in 12 of the common calendar, the exploration of the New World is still included in the implementation scope of the "Galaxy Exploration Convention." Wayne said seriously.

"Yes, I heard it. But, what kind of creation is this ring? Does it belong to the scope of the "Exploration Convention"? Who can guarantee that this is not a weapon of mass destruction?"

For the first time, a trace of hesitation flashed across Horatio Venn's face that was as firm as a statue: "Your Highness, this kind of reasoning doesn't make sense in the Galactic Civilization Council."

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel, most of the time, the truth doesn't make sense, not just in the Civilization Council. However, I appreciate the indomitable and firmness of your officials, so please keep it. As for this ring..." She waved her hand, unfolded a simulated hologram just made by the flagship AI, and marked a point with red.

"Let's explore from here, so it's convenient to start from the other end. In this way, our safe distance is equivalent to the diameter of an entire planet's orbit. That's more than two astronomical units. Isn't it beautiful?"

Is it still possible to calculate like this?Horatio Wayne smiled wryly in his heart.He knew that this was actually the greatest achievement he could achieve.

In any case, Brunhilt is indeed a man of one word, at least he really didn't fire the four weak, helpless and pitiful earth destroyers.She even ordered the scouting fleet headed by Blizzard to withdraw from the warning distance, and let them go to the red point she drew, which is the other side of the "ring" behind the star to meet.

All in all, the community side came first after all, while the empire side had a large number of troops and numbers, and everyone felt that they had the "reason".Then, setting aside disputes, joint development is a good solution.

Thus, the conflict was finally resolved satisfactorily.

If only that was the case.

Lieutenant Colonel Horatio Wayne watched the election emperor bid farewell to himself, watched the light curtain automatically close, and then exhaled a long breath.

He didn't feel a cold sweat breaking out all over his body, but he still felt a little dizzy, so he just sat up and couldn't get up.By the way, he maintained a poker face with no joy or sorrow, and said to the three small windows next to him: "That's the situation. Sorry, I can only go so far."

Those on the three small windows were the captains of the other three destroyers, and they all looked terrified.Their average age is more than 20 years older than Wayne, but they are all majors.Instead, it was Wayne, a young man who had only been out of college for a few years. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel last month, so he also became the commander of this small patrol fleet.

Anyway, this small fleet of four ships has a complete set of rules for almost all tactical actions, and the relationship between the battleships is closer to that of the lead plane and wingman, so there is no need for a special admiral.

People like Horatio Venn, who were born in a famous family and a famous school, and who are "simple in the emperor's heart" because they are problem writers, have always been promoted by orbital elevators, and they are often the most hated by people who do practical things of.However, during the six-month expedition to the New World, he had already gained the trust of his colleagues by virtue of his ability and combat achievements.

"This is already the best result." Captain A, who was 15 years older than Horatio, said.This is a female captain who still has charm.

"Time is waiting, let's land too." Captain B, who was 20 years older than Horatio, said.This is a gray gray, one of the minority races of the community,

After all, they came more than a day earlier than the empire.During this day, the four destroyers tremblingly circled the halo for more than half a circle, and several of them ventured close, but nothing out of the ordinary happened.Now, there are more than 1000 people in the entire fleet, except for a few weak chickens who are mentally weak and fainted by the terrifying scale of the giant structure, there are no examples of combat or non-combat attrition.

Now, you can indeed try to log in and explore more deeply.

On the contrary, Major Mesud, who is 30 years older than Wayne, the captain of the destroyer Diokori, still looks worried: "We should send another urgent notification to the headquarters, please send Independence and its main fleet as soon as possible." Hurry up here."

The two captains with unimportant names exchanged a glance.

"In any case, there is no big mistake in being careful. When I was an explorer before, I really saw Paoze who lived and died together, and threw away all ethics and morality for a little money, and faced swords and swords. Now this creation, It is clearly a miracle, and it should not be coveted by us humble mortals. However, it was found by us mortals. There are also mortals on the side of the empire!" Probably under tremendous pressure, The old captain seemed a little incoherent.

At the end, he still sighed: "Thinking about it now, whether the secret logbook we got from the predator transport ship is a good thing or a bad thing, I really can't tell now!"

Of course Horatio Wayne understood what he meant.This is equivalent to an ordinary person getting the same treasure map with a powerful but greedy dragon.A "smart person" who understands current affairs should choose to give up.

"We are soldiers of the community, there is no reason to give up." Wayne said.

Captain Mesud squeezed out a dry smile: "I understand. I only hope that the big shots above understand as well as you. Alright, Commander, let's discuss how to land. It has been proved that it is not feasible to descend directly from above. Do you have to choose to go around those silver rings?"

At the same time, one of the big men above, Major General Yang Xiyi, the deputy chief of staff of the Blue Star Community Expeditionary Force, is working diligently.

Although many people believe that this wise general with the "Fox of the Devil's Labyrinth" was deliberately left behind because he made too much publicity, offended the commander and the chief of staff, but he himself I don't think so at all.As a person who is single-minded about not wanting to retire, Yang Xiyi has shown extraordinary diligence during this period.It was even harder than it was when attacking Devil's Throat.

According to his own statement: "In the past six months, I have overdrawn all my efforts for the rest of my life."

Of course, the matter has not settled, and Yang Xiyi's overdraft will continue.Now he is carefully reviewing the detailed reports sent from various strongholds in the war zone.

Of course it's not about the huge ring structure.Now, it will take at least a week for the Unity Fortress far away on the "pass" of the Dawn Star Field to receive letters from the depths of the Star Field.

Yang Xiyi didn't see the battle report from the front either.In his opinion, since the Ancestor Ark, the flagship of the Marauders, was sunk, there are no battle reports worth reviewing.

Compared with the trivial and scattered battle reports such as which galaxy has chased after the predator's wrecked ship, which planet has wiped out the predator's guerrillas, the deployment of each planet's stronghold and the progress of construction are the most important. Let him care.

He quickly read the defense progress reports sent up from various sources, and before he finished reading one, he would write red and black, and then sent it to Major Mihir Kent next to him.The latter checks and reviews three times faster than Yang Xiyi.

This is a hard but painful job. Kent couldn't help sighing when he saw the blacked-out report.

The so-called black mark is Yang Xiyi's stronghold that has no resistance at all if something "unbearable" happens after Yang Xiyi's assessment.

Either because of limited forces, or lack of vigilance, or because the commander is not pretending to be new defensive tactics, in short, if there is a real war with a potential enemy, the time that these strongholds can resist will not exceed 24 hours.

"Yu Lian and Yawata's "Three-Dimensional Defense" was completed in the first half of last year. It passed the review of the Military Research Department in October and sent it to the local headquarters. Lieutenant General Sai Yue ordered them to be distributed to the commanders of various strongholds at that time. Ministry." There was great dissatisfaction in Kent's words.

It's just a lack of troops.However, there are obviously more efficient, more scientific, and more stable defense methods, and the papers have been broken into pieces and fed to your mouths, why are you unwilling to implement them?

But Yang Xiyi shook his head and said: "It's not surprising. For the army, even if it is equipment with better performance that can be seen at a glance, it takes a considerable amount of time to adapt, let alone new tactics. The psionic power of the Azure Guard There are only less than 200 people in total, and it took three years to fully master Yu Lian's four-man formation tactics."

Mihir had to admit that the other party was right, but after all, he was young, always an illusion, and there would always be gaps.

"Even if Lieutenant General Sai Yue personally issued the order, the execution is another matter." Yang Xiyi smiled, and picked out the reports classified as red from the file: "But, at least there are so many confirmed reports. In a unit that is seriously preparing for war, Lieutenant General Sai Yue is actually qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the solar system military region based on this alone."

The current leader of the Solar System Military Region is naturally Admiral Conneris, the Admiral of the Solar System Fleet.

"Mr. Yang, you are still full of resentment towards Admiral Conneris." Mihir said.

"I just made some immature private suggestions about real life out of the sense of responsibility of a senior military officer," Yang Xiyi said.

In short, both of them felt a little relieved that the files marked in red accounted for at least one-third of the total.

Among them are the Yaochi Star where Simon Wayali and Meng Jiao are two friends, and the Dawn Galaxy where there are always some minor situations during this period.

According to Yang Xiyi's standards, these are places that can be salvaged temporarily.

For example, Yaochi and Shuguang are galaxies with the Gaia planet, and they are also on the important transportation nodes of the Galaxy network.If it is placed in the Milky Way, it will be enough for several second- and third-tier regional powers to beat out the dog's brains.

"...Actually, according to my opinion, there is no need to keep most of the strongholds here. It is best to concentrate our forces on three to five points. The same is true for the fleet. As long as it is at these three or five important strategic nodes Guarantee the necessary military presence, even if the empire occupies most of the Dawn Star Domain, they will not be able to carry out colonial development safely, and they still have to come back to the negotiating table." Yang Xiyi sighed.

"That guy also said that if you save people and lose land, everything is saved." Kent said.

"No, that guy's thinking is more extreme. He thinks that instead of arguing with the Empire in the stronghold of the Dawn Star Domain, we should withdraw all our troops here and seize the Unity Fortress with lightning speed. Stronghold, fighting guerrillas with the imperial fleet. Hey, hey, your eyes suddenly light up at this moment, Teacher Yang's heart can't bear it."

"The lower officer feels that this plan seems to be somewhat executable."

"There's a fart! You young men, take it easy. Putting aside the feasibility and success rate of tactics, it is almost impossible to give up the planet that has been occupied. The earth alone The princes can argue for a whole year, let alone the executive ability of officers at all levels." Yang Xiyi said angrily, "Unless it is the imperial army that His Majesty is loyal to him..."

"Isn't this exactly what our youth club and pioneer party are doing?" Mihir said suddenly.

Yang Xiyi was silent for a while, looking at his student and deputy with deep eyes.However, the latter looked directly at the other party without flinching, and a smile appeared on his mouth: "The lower official said that there is a problem with the execution mechanism of the army."

"You better be talking about the mechanics," Yang Xiyi said coldly.

Yang Xiyi's eyes were obviously sharper in the depths, and Mihir finally flinched and lowered his head a little: "Then, the officer will quickly send these reports to Lieutenant General Sai Yue?"

"Yes, even with so much pepper. He still has a considerable amount of mobile troops in his hand. I hope he can strengthen all of them on the Dawn galaxy. It depends on whether that guy dares to bet."

"Even if he dares to bet, Commander Connerys must agree to it!" Kent said helplessly, "So, do you think the Dawn Galaxy is the most likely to have an accident first?"
