Him and their stars.

Chapter 1775 He is looking at garbage

Overall, the appearance of the Grand Commander Witte still looked very intact. The smooth and transparent coating on the hull did not seem to be scratched, and even the imperial emblem of an eight-headed dragon roaring at the stars on the front bevel armor remained intact.

If one could ignore the groove in the front middle of the ship, this ship, which looked as if it had just been polished and waxed, might even be qualified to participate in the Emperor's military parade.

But in fact, this groove is not particularly obvious, and careless people may even ignore it.

However, to experts, it is also the most terrifying wound, or rather, it is precisely because there is only such a wound that it seems even more terrifying.

Even Jaeger Sobek, whose knowledge of battleships was only at the average level of senior Imperial officers, could recognize that this was the location of the bridge of the Corona-class dreadnought.

Sobek looked at the mighty triangular warship and the shocking wound in the middle of the ship, and felt sad and even a little bit depressed. He always felt that his past ideals had been tarnished.

He then heard Miss Serlu sigh: "It's so tragic... I heard there wasn't even a single survivor on the bridge."

Captain Pegase said: "Yes, more than 2000 people, from Vice Admiral Karaman to the fleet chief of staff to the chief navigator, as well as the captain, the first mate and the second mate, were all wiped out. Wuuwuwuwuwu..."

He wasn't really crying fake tears, his voice was a little choked.

Viscount Serlu looked at the captain in confusion: "I had no idea that you had such a comrade-in-arms friendship with them?"

"I don't know any of the dead. But this ship is clearly my dream ship!" Captain Pegsay lamented, "My biggest dream before was to become the captain of the Corona-class. Twenty years ago, 90% of the young people in the Empire believed that the Corona was the greatest dreadnought in the history of the galaxy. But now, our childhood memories are all laughed at."

Miss Serlu still didn't quite understand why her colleague was so excited, but she still nodded dryly: "I see."

Sobek also sighed: "...Yes, I once dreamed of using this ship as my flagship."

"So that's how it is. Your explanation is easy to understand. All the soldiers in the army will be greatly shocked when they see this scene." Viscount Sellu nodded immediately.

Even if you want to be hypocritical, you should at least respect the Basic Law, right? Captain Pegsay did feel a little hurt, but he still said in a serious voice: "Dreams are so easily shattered! This damn war."

The Viscountess pretended not to hear her colleague's sarcasm and comforted her superior: "You don't have to worry. If you think the Rabbit is too small, there will be a Barbarossa sooner or later. Titans are definitely not beyond our reach."

"I never disliked the Rabbit. This is actually far beyond my ideal when I joined the army. I just think that the Grand Commander Witte is actually the third type of Corona, with strict protection and no stupid bridge design. If this is killed in an instant, how would everyone feel?"

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a cold wind blew through the bridge, and many people couldn't help but shudder. Captain Pegsay couldn't help but reach out and touch his neck, and felt that his throat was really cold.

As we all know, Grand Master Witte is a Corona-class dreadnought that has been in service for more than thirty years and is also one of the last four Corona-class dreadnoughts in service.

Although it is a bit old, even in this era, this powerful warship is far from outdated.

Its five-layer alloy armor, energy crystal coating, and epoch-making induction shield give this warship a protective power that can be called a moving castle. The perfect mesh armor stack, segmented isolation cabin, and separate energy supply system constitute a perfect damage control system.

Even if he was hit by seven or eight antimatter torpedoes and concentrated fire from double-digit main guns, he could survive as if nothing had happened.

Even if the power system and life support system are out of control, a single functional system can allow its two lance main guns, three positron main guns and three rail guns to continue to launch continuous bombardments on the enemy, and it can continue to act as a firm and calm fixed artillery position.

It is obvious at first glance that this is a classic battleship built specifically for large fleet decisive battles.

Considering the background of its design, which was when the Seventh Galactic War had just ended and the Community became independent, it is not surprising that the Empire made such a choice.

As the last batch of Corona-class ships to be put into service, Grand Commander Witte and her two sister ships were treated quite well. Their armor used the latest jade steel outer layer, and the protection increased by at least three to four percentage points on the original basis. It is said that they also have special attack effects against radiation burns. In addition, due to the progress of energy cybernetics, the firing rate and cruising performance of this batch of Coronas have been greatly enhanced on the original basis.

Of course, due to the times, the air defense and close defense firepower of this dreadnought were mediocre. However, a battleship was a screwdriver in system combat after all, and as long as it could maintain formation with its escorting ships, this should not be a fatal loophole.

perhaps……

In a sense, this modified Corona can actually be considered a next-level battleship. If the cost of the modified ship had not exceeded the target and could not keep up with the post-war demand, the Flame Dragon class might not have existed.

The Galactic Empire retired, dismantled, or sold all of the Corona-class ships, but kept the last three Corona-modified ships built and invested them all in the protracted second war of conquest against the Earth.

In short, before the appearance of the great Barbarossa class and the even greater God-class, most people recognized that Corona was the most perfect dreadnought in the entire universe.

However, such a giant warship that originally paid special attention to its defense had its bridge destroyed silently.

Even so, we must frankly admit that the Galactic Empire's shipbuilding level has always been very online.

Be it the two Silver Knight battlecruisers that were torn apart and almost suffered penetrating wounds, or the Grand Commander Witte whose bridge was blown off, both were still alive and well.

If you use caution, even if you can't fight head-on at the forefront of the fleet decisive battle, you can still fire some guns and do some dogfighting.

Having said that, looking at the bridge of the Grand Master, even the most battle-hardened warriors could not help but feel a lingering fear. The setting of an invincible armored knight being silently decapitated by the enemy and becoming a headless knight is not at all tragic.

If combined with the current context, it seems like a kind of postmodern mockery and deconstruction.

Of course, the problem that really made everyone feel a chill down their spine was that every senior general of the Imperial Army present was not sure whether he would be the next.

A general of the empire, isn't he a superior person with property, estates, status, identity, weaknesses, and a good life to enjoy? Once the shoes on the feet become luxurious, people will inevitably cherish their lives, which is not something that the Tirilo people can overcome with their abundant martial virtues.

Thus, more than 4 Imperial warships were crowded into a small galaxy like I Count A. The Imperial generals said that it would be better to hold off until the truth of the matter was completely understood.

But in fact, the real situation was not complicated. Although the Karaman Fleet lost its commander, chief of staff and more than 40% of the command level, the fleet did not suffer many losses, and there were many witnesses at the time.

In short, combining the images left by the parties involved and the warships, as well as the discussion of Major General Turks, a group of senior generals of the Imperial Army quickly obtained a complete battle report.

However, we all know that the Nebula Trail is narrow and rugged, which will affect the efficiency of the jump and naturally the speed. The Athena formation of the Community chose to take this route, which was a bit unexpected by the Imperial Army. However, this did give the Imperial fleet a chance to pursue.

Therefore, after a brief discussion with his staff, Vice Admiral Karaman also decided to turn the fleet to pursuit.

Of course, because the passage is narrow, it is possible for us to catch up with the enemy, but because the passage is narrow, there is also the possibility of being ambushed by the enemy.

Major General Tucker raised concerns in this regard.

Lieutenant General Karaman was indeed a general born in a famous family, but he was still very particular about etiquette. After a brief thought, he said solemnly: "Such hidden dangers cannot be ruled out, but such opportunities cannot be missed. As long as we use them well, we can complete a two-pronged attack on the dragon! I have made up my mind, no need to discuss it further!"

He added: "However, there is a possibility that the Earthlings will leave a rear-end fleet to ambush us! The reconnaissance fleet composed of cruisers in the lead must not be careless. In addition, this ship and the First Battle Patrol Detachment will serve as the second line."

His meaning was simple. If the leading reconnaissance fleet missed the enemy's possible ambush, it only meant that the number of these ambush troops would not be too large, and of course the threat would not be too great.

In this case, he could use the flagship as the MT and force a bridgehead to create an opportunity for his fleet to leave the gravity well. At that time, the Grand Master and the First Battle Patrol Detachment only needed to entangle the enemy's ambush and destroy them. It would only be a matter of time.

Very slick plan, and logical.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Of course, it also meets the actual conditions.

The Grand Commander Witte is the most powerful and sturdy warship in the Karaman fleet. As long as it is well prepared, it can hold out for several hours even if it is besieged by several main gods.

In addition, two Silver Knight-class ships made up the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron.

This type of battlecruiser is more like an enlarged version of the Aegis ship. In addition to having main-level protection, it also has enhanced modular and large-scale secondary guns and close-defense firepower, which can complement the Grand Commander.

Even if we are struck by lightning, we are not completely powerless to fight back.

It is normal for Lieutenant General Karaman to want to show his courage to all the soldiers. As long as he succeeds, the morale of the soldiers will be ignited, and the lieutenant general will also gain fame and honor, and everyone will have a better future.

Lieutenant General Karaman and his staff never seemed to realize that "small numbers" and "little threat" are not always linked together.

Therefore, when the reconnaissance fleet consisting of two Glory-class heavy cruisers and six Hunter-class light cruisers entered the Fork Road X3 system, nothing happened. The Athena fleet should know what is important and urgent, and now they are concentrating on meeting with the Fuxi and their commander.

Lieutenant General Karaman seemed to have seen the other party's anxious state.

The entire fleet began to fall into a state of complacency.

They now truly believed that the enemy had indeed left no ambush, which meant that their spirit had reached its limit. According to the analysis of the quality information left in the channel, they only needed to jump twice more to catch up with the Athena at X1.

In fact, the front-line reconnaissance fleet had even seen the enemy fleet’s artificial light tubes.

At that time, it will surely be a joyful pursuit. With our full fighting power and fighting spirit, we will surely be able to make the enemy surrender in an instant, right?
During a war, who wouldn't like to chase the enemy who raises the white flag?
Of course, the Fuxi would not sit back and watch the friendly forces being wiped out, and would definitely come to rescue them. At that time, it would be time for our side to fight hard. However, this was exactly what Lieutenant General Karaman wanted.

He didn't think he could defeat the dragon, but as long as he was a good MT, he would get the credit.

When the Silver Knight and the Grand Master warped into X3, the battle took place.

Vice Admiral Karaman remained calm. He firmly believed that since they had not been discovered by the reconnaissance fleet, they must be a small group of enemies.

"Brave, but unfortunately, he is a fool. Facing an enemy he cannot defeat, he should have retreated on his own and saved his useful body." Lieutenant General Karaman even commented: "However, after all, they are subordinates of the evil dragon, and they are all brave warriors with lofty aspirations. They are admirable."

He expressed his respect for the enemy warriors in a very reserved manner, and indeed played the role of a Tirello military noble with full martial virtue very appropriately. Of course, even if it was a little bit formulaic and exaggerated.

This was also the last message that Lieutenant General Karaman left for the soldiers of his fleet.

When the Grand Master, where Karaman was, passed through the gravity well, the magnificent dragon ship, the Pilgrimage, suddenly appeared like a strange ghost ship.

Perhaps it was because the way the ghost ship appeared was so shocking, or perhaps it was because the glittering royal emblem on the Pilgrimage shocked Vice Admiral Karaman and his men to bow down before their heads. By the time the Imperial Army realized something was wrong, two giant dragons had already carried their riders and charged to the side of their own warships like silent ghosts.

They used some kind of mystical stealth method from the beginning, waiting for the imperial warships to come and deliver the food.

At this moment, "the dragon who must not even be named" once again staged the famous scene of single-handedly destroying ships, just like the third battle of Said. He whizzed through the gap between two Silver Knight-class ships that maintained a tight formation, and used an unknown treasure or technique to leave them with a "scratching" that was almost equivalent to a penetrating wound.

But even so, his charging speed was not affected at all.

By the time the lookouts on the Grand Commander captured the enemy's outline, that was the last remaining image.

"I think he was looking at us like garbage when he looked at us," said Lieutenant General Midbeshi. Although the other party's eyes were completely covered by the helmet, he still had this feeling.

"He wasn't looking at us, he was looking at Karaman," said Lieutenant General Laken. "I'm glad it wasn't me at the time."

In fact, his attitude was quite peaceful, more like he was looking at the dust passing by... But, isn't this more depressing than looking at garbage? Sobek thought.

The above is the whole process of Lieutenant General Karaman’s death on the battlefield.
