Him and their stars.

Kent's reaction was calm.When he was a student, he knew that Mr. Yang was not a type of jumping thinking, but he was actually a riddle type, so he seemed a little jumping.

But in any case, after working as an adjutant for this type of leader for more than half a year, an elite officer like Mihir Kent has naturally already adapted to the opponent's way of doing things.He didn't even take out the terminal to call up the report, and went straight to: "On March 3, Fleet No.14 received 13 Hubaoqi 12 special assault ships equipped with light wings from Xinyumen, and 6 cruisers. Linker-class light cruiser, 2 maintenance support ship, and 1 nano-repair ship, plus 1 combat personnel."

"What about the composition of the combatants?" Yang Xiyi asked.

"Most of them are excellent sailors transferred from China, and a small part are local residents of New Yumen and New Lushun. Most of them have shipping experience."

Yang Xiyi nodded.Since Kent can say this, it means that he must have reviewed the personnel list.

As a result, this local patrol fleet, which was originally only used to fight pirates, has expanded into a strike fleet composed of 60 cutting-edge high-speed warships.If it had been in the New World a year ago, this fleet would have been able to travel sideways, and even rushed to the Imperial Glory Colonial Star Zone opposite the "New World Highway" to have a blast.

However, up to now, this is still only a guerrilla fleet with the size of a unit, mainly because there is no capital ship that can face the front in the ship formation.The two heaviest battleships are still the Lexington and Saratoga aircraft carriers, and the flagship is still the Aurora, which can especially raise the blood pressure of the "ally" next to it.

“No.13舰队已经于3月21日的时候正式离开了殖民星区，进入新大陆公路。3月22日的例行报告上，说是遭遇了海盗。”

"Pirates?" Yang Xiyi suddenly wanted to laugh: "Speaking of which, last month, when the Empire's garrison fleet at Devil's Throat was withdrawing, they also encountered pirates on the New Continent Highway."

"Yes. And there was a small-scale battle. Therefore, the commander of the Kaitai fleet, Prince Charlene Scarlet Mane suggested that the empire should continue to maintain a certain scale of patrol fleet on the New Continent Highway. If the empire needs it, They want to share their worries."

Anyway, there is no need for the empire to pay military expenses in person, so naturally there is no opinion.Ever since, a group of powerful warships were left on the New Continent Highway.A joint commander composed of senior military officers from countries such as Ketai, Bakvi and Haiyal is responsible for the unified command.

Of course, these fleets came from eight or nine countries after all. Although half of the ships were purchased and rebuilt from the empire, the other half were self-developed.The types, facilities, armaments, and even communications of the ships are not unified. If they are forced to be compiled together, they will be suspected of being a mob.

As a result, the joint command was organized into five squadrons according to the model and nationality of the early ships.Its main duty is to maintain the law and order of the New Continent Highway and ensure the absolute safety of the two waterways of New Lushun-Unity Fort and Gate of Glory-Unity Fort.At the same time, it can also prevent the remnants of the predators from spreading to the inhabited galaxy, ensuring that the place will not be corrupted.

They should be doing a very good job.At least, there has never been a shortage of supplies from the stargates and colonies to the front line.

Of course, since the Devil's Maw was taken and the Devil's Eye was breached, the supply lines had been pretty quiet, but those were minor things not worth mentioning.

In any case, the soldiers of the United Fleet are very commendable.And no matter how they can be regarded as doing things prudently and taking precautions, it is not a bad thing.

"Hehe, speaking of it, after the main force of the expedition fleet arrived last year, the star field around the New Continent Highway was like a field sprinkled with pesticides, and the pirates disappeared one by one like pests. But by this time , There are pirates again." Yang Xiyi laughed.

Mihir Kent said with a smile: "Of course we can't rule out the possibility of hiring hunting ships from other countries. However, the Ring of Miracles is here, and the fertile lands of the Dawn Star Domain are also here, no matter how the future changes , no matter how the future develops, the New World Highway will definitely be much more prosperous than in the past.”

Yes, whether it’s pioneering, developing, colonizing, or fighting, the highways and waterways of the New World are the only places that connect the Dawn Star Domain and the Milky Way. The busyness can be imagined, and naturally there will be more living space for pirates. up.

In the future, maybe those big pirate kings who have achieved great fame in the galaxy will come here to develop their business.

Yang Xiyi smiled and said, "However, those who can see this and come here early must not be ordinary pirates. They really deserve a heavy blow! We need to express our sincerity to the allied forces." Thanks."

Kent nodded: "Yes, so the No.13 Fleet reported in its routine briefing on March 3 that they also encountered pirates when they passed through the galaxy Nx-25 of the New Continent Highway. One of the pirate ships was very For example, it happened last year, that is, the Battle of New Lushun on February 188, 832. The Marauder Fleet routed the missing XD2 fire-breathing ship. After the No.27 Fleet found it, they began to pursue it.”

Of course, it is impossible for the community to grasp the information and names of all predator ships, so they can only use code names.

"Uh, I seem to be in command of the new Lushun battle last year." Yang Xiyi recalled: "The ship was hit by two main guns from the Aurora, and the side armor was torn apart by the anti-matter bombs from the White Phantom fighter plane. Broken, and then escaped from the battlefield. I thought I died in some galaxy."

Kent was immediately in awe of Yang Xiyi.

You must know that the scale of the battle was not large at the beginning, but the predators also dispatched hundreds of warships and various agencies, and the changes in the battle situation were also complicated.However, after a lapse of one year, Yang Xiyi was able to report the whereabouts of an enemy ship without reading the report. This may mean that he does have a memory like a robot.Or it can be explained that in the battle that he personally commanded, he had observed all the changes in the battle situation in detail, and he would never forget it for life.

"And then? What about the final result of the pursuit?"

"It didn't work. The pirates may have information about other hidden channels and hiding places, and they finally got out of the range of the No.13 fleet." Kent showed a strange expression: "However, on March 3, that is, It was the day before yesterday, when they returned to the N30 galaxy, which is the main channel of the New Continent Highway, they had friction with the patrol fleet of the Haiyal Principality."

"...Friction?" Yang Xiyi also had a strange expression.

"Yes. It is indeed stated in the report that it is the friction caused by misunderstanding." Kent said seriously.In short, if you ignore the fact that the opponent sank a destroyer on the spot, seriously injured a heavy cruiser, and left your own side unscathed, it can only be said to be a misunderstanding.After all, after the "misunderstanding" was resolved, at least the two sides did not continue to shout and kill.

"I remember that this N36 galaxy is already very close to the Iris Cross galaxy." Yang Xiyi calculated, "If His Royal Highness Brunhilt, King of Suluka, wants to return to the Dawn Star Domain, he may pass there. "

During the expedition to the New World, three emperors came to the empire at once, and they arrived with them, of course, with their respective ships, those gorgeous, majestic and domineering Titan ships.Of course, after the empire began to withdraw its troops from the New World, the chosen emperors all left the front line.However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that King Solein and King Valente may really return to the mainland of the empire, but King Suliuka should return soon.

Because her ship Dawn Angel is still parked in the circle of miracles.

By that time, the youngest active emperor in the general election should become the highest military and political officer of the empire in the Dawn Star Domain.

"so……"

"Lieutenant Colonel Akinayama Hachiman and I have indeed considered the plan to let the No.13 fleet intercept and kill King Suluka on the New Continent Highway." Mihir Kent said: "However, the success rate is not too high."

"Don't think about it!" Yang Xiyi said angrily, "And the success rate is almost equivalent to nothing, right?"

"You are worrying too much, at least she should be over 15.00% years old." Kent said solemnly: "She is not riding on the Angel of Dawn, but just a steel kite-class command cruiser. With the firepower of the No.13 fleet, it is indeed possible It was sunk before the imperial support arrived. However, considering that King Suluka is a psychic, and the dragon ship of the Astral Knights was escorted, once the operation starts, the loss will be great. Even if it is successful, the follow-up The development of China is also really incalculable. This is not something we can afford to take responsibility for."

"So the co-authors really came up with such a nonsense plan?" Yang Xiyi said helplessly.

"We are members of the staff department. It is our responsibility to make plans. If the plan is not enough, it will be dereliction of duty." Kent smiled: "Compared with your plan D, we are actually very conservative. gone."

When it came to this plan D, Yang Xiyi couldn't continue talking immediately, and he couldn't pretend to be stupid.After all, these two young staff officers also made great efforts to make this plan go ahead.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiyi didn't even want to act anymore, and said directly: "How is that kid Hachiman doing now? When can I use the mobile dock I asked him to get?"

"Well, it's already in trial operation. There is no shortage of manpower and material resources over there, and there are still factory ships captured from the looters in hand. It only needs to be slightly modified. However, Major General Orwell proposed, I hope Lieutenant Colonel Qiu Mingshan will be allowed to stay. He lacks a useful deputy (staff) officer (counselor) by his side."

"Let them make up their own minds." Yang Xiyi didn't care much about where his subordinates went.Anyway, if everything here is as usual, nowhere will be safe, but if something happens, nowhere will be safe.

He then ordered: "Order the No.13 Fleet, still follow the original plan, with Yaochi and Liming Pass as the starting point, and the DL33 galaxy as the middle, to carry out daily security cruise missions."

What Yang Xiyi, who was on the United Fortress, didn't know was that the current situation of the No.13 fleet was actually much more severe than what was reported in the previous report.

The flagship of the No.13 fleet, the heavy cruiser Aurora, the only Clear Sky-class cruiser in the Earth Space Fleet, is also a gorgeous battleship with elegant outlines and refined body aesthetics.Of course, perhaps because of its high appearance, it is easy to attract hatred. This battleship can always make the blood pressure of the informed imperial officers soar.

However, during the Great Crusade that lasted for more than half a year, the No.13 Fleet has always walked gracefully and steadily, swaggeringly active in the sight and range of countless imperial warships, but has always been gorgeous and strong. .

It is now April 833, 4 in the common calendar, and two days have passed since the routine report was sent to the Fortress of Unity.At this moment, all the ships of the No.2 Fleet have passed through the Iris Cross galaxy at the crossroads of the New World, approaching the direction of the Dawn Star Domain, and then encountered another unexpected situation near the DL13 galaxy.

Now, the crew on the Aurora are busy.Through the search of the forward reconnaissance fleet, on the terminal panel in front of them is the "Allied" fleet that has already launched a battle formation.

This battle group is composed of two squadrons patrolling the New Continent Highway, from the Republic of Bakve and the United Kingdom of Angmans.

In this way, the number of battleships of the opponent has reached twice that of the No. 13 fleet, and there are two more battle cruisers.

However, the proud soldiers on the bridge of the Aurora felt stable and even wanted to laugh.

"The opposing fleet ignored our warning and is still maintaining the first forward speed. The current distance is 1.2 astronomical units. If there is no accident, it will enter the dangerous range in 40 minutes." The intelligence chief staff said to the No.13 fleet (Deputy) Commander, Brigadier General Eleanor Bonaparte said.

"Well, I see it."

"Actually, in just 15 minutes, we will be brought into range by the opponent's main guns. They have two battle cruisers." Lieutenant Colonel Ina Shilica, the gunnery chief sitting in the front row of the bridge, said.

"I heard you. You don't have to be so loud," Eleanor said.

"Well, I'm just letting you know." Ina moved her eyes away from the newly arrived gravitational wave calibrator, thought about it and added: "Our antimatter warhead is enough. Just now Commander Mark Love Officer, the White Phantom team has changed their outfits. Our new tiger and leopard riders are also warming up the gravitational projectors."

"I understand, I saw it too." Eleanor said.

Well, even though it was an emergency, judging from the current combat readiness of the No.13 fleet, it is really hard to tell who is planning.

Eleanor Bonaparte stood still and pondered for another half a minute, and then said: "Notify the entire fleet to maintain a standard cruising speed, turn to the direction of 3 o'clock, and head towards the direction of Stargate No. 4."

The adjutant quickly issued orders to the entire fleet.Some officers and soldiers who are too passionate will inevitably have some immature opinions on Madam Commander's orders, but they will not compromise in execution.

In fact, the commander of the No.13 fleet is still Rear Admiral Mark Love, and the theoretical flagship is still on the Saratoga, but now there are no outsiders after all, and everyone is too lazy to act.

"What if the opponent continues to advance and even shoots at us?" Yi Na asked.

"Then just speed up and escape before we are included in the opponent's range. This is the New World Highway, and the waterway is still very accessible." Eleanor said.

This, is it okay to use the word "run away" in full view?The intelligence staff and combat staff with elite faces next to them were just transferred from China, and they were not quite used to the style of the No.13 fleet.However, judging by their hesitant expressions, it should be a matter of time before they are assimilated.

"Sir..."

"What?"

"While I know it's a smart decision, it doesn't seem to fit your style."

"Shut up, Chief Gunner. I'm already a full-fledged admiral too."
