Him and their stars.

Chapter 646 New equipment and new tactics

"The progress of the finished product? This is the highest military secret at present." Facing Yu Lian's casual question, Colonel Silva smiled pretendingly, and lowered his voice a little: "However... Your Excellency Chairman Considering this a key research project, it should be prepared for that celebration, right?"

Yu Lian was slightly taken aback, and then realized that the other party should have said more than the celebration of the official founding of the Knights' Anniversary the year after next year.At that time, six of the dreadnoughts ordered from the alliance will return to China to officially join the blue star community.If the community can be equipped with the space torpedoes that shined in this exercise, the effect will of course be even better.

Although the performance of the Antarctic Laboratory in recent years has been a bit stretched, but if there are powerful figures behind them kicking their ass, it is another matter.

"The impact of the Battle of the Far Shore Nebula is much greater than you can imagine." Colonel Silva said with a smile: "The sharp weapon that the empire has spent countless resources to build has also fallen into our hands. As long as the new If the dreadnoughts and space torpedoes can be put into service on time, the defense of the community will still be as solid as a rock!"

Yu Lian also had a smile on his face, and took a look calmly to make sure that the other party was really sincere in what he said, so he also nodded in agreement with Guang Tongchen.

Colonel Silva is a bureaucrat in the equipment research department, and it is understandable that he is confident in new weapons.But it would be a bit scary if it wasn't just the Armament Department that floated up, but also the decision makers from the Military Order Headquarters and the National Defense Commission.

Therefore, when discussing this battle with his colleagues, Yu Lian tentatively raised some topics, but he suddenly found that compared with the newly unveiled space torpedo, the big guys are more interested in the newly displayed space torpedo by Admiral Farrell. The operation of the fleet is not of much interest.

Yu Lian sighed, thinking that there are quite a few weapons, armor and intelligence experts in the observation team, but there is one missing general who has a natural sense of tactics like Teacher Yang Xiyi and the 830 Party members!
Thinking of this, he dealt with the ensuing military meeting in a waste of time, returned to his room, opened the source wave communication port, spent a lot of money to open a chat room, and directly pulled everyone from the 830 Party and Teacher Yang Come in.

Well, not everyone.

The big guys each have their duties.Mihir 'Kent' had a quick chat with Chester Rozers before apologizing and retreating.William Banner was simply turned off. It is said that this guy is leading a company for field training.

Deng Zhengqing said a few more words, saying that the Fifth Fleet he is serving, that is, the "Inner Cantilever Strike Fleet", has encountered many small-scale battles recently.He served as the second officer of the cruiser, and during a routine patrol, he had an encounter with two unidentified armed ships.

Although it is two against one, if the opponent is only a mere pirate, even if the ship's mass is larger than the own ship, even if the enemy ship is two or three times more numerous, the dignified community navy certainly has the confidence to win the battle.However, whether it is the armament of the ship or the ability of the crew, the opponent is by no means comparable to ordinary pirates.

Then, a very classic plot happened.The destroyer Deng Zhengqing was on was hit by a shell on the bridge.Of course, almost all damage was stopped by shields and armor.The only adverse effect was that the bridge shook like an earthquake.Coincidentally, the captain was thrown out of the chair, fainted on the spot, and lost his ability to command.

The chief mate was an elderly purely technical officer who started to faint on the spot.

Ever since, Deng Zhengqing, who seemed to be the protagonist, immediately took over the ship and started to fight back.

In another world line, Captain Deng Zhengqing, the most famous general of the 830 Party who is best at fleet operations in the future, led the ship to sink one enemy ship and seriously injure the other with minimal loss.

It's just that this kind of strange warship is a bit weird. It has been beaten halfway and the hull is burning, but it can still bite the bullet and start the jump engine, and it disappeared without a trace.

"So, what kind of enemy is it?" Yu Lian asked.

Deng Zhengqing looked at Yu Lian through the holographic projection at a distance of tens of thousands of light years, hesitation flashed across his face, but he still said: "It should be the predator."

Yu Lian opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't help but squeezed his fist.He felt that he was very calm now, his thinking was very clear, and his head was spinning fast, but he had inexplicably entered an extremely manic state, wishing to chop off a few heads to calm his mood.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his spiritual breath, and then calmed down: "Is there any sign of the predators invading?"

"Not sure yet. However, the Fifth Fleet has already entered a state of emergency preparation. Don't worry, although the quality of the personnel and ships of the Fifth Fleet are... Well, it is actually not satisfactory. Moreover, fortresses and forts have also been built on the edge of the Milky Way , What happened eighteen years ago is impossible to happen again." Deng Zhengqing said.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work." Yu Lian smiled.He pays great attention to expression management now, at least the friends don't see any problem with him at all.

"Also, pay attention to safety. Your upper limit is at least an admiral, and you can't overturn with a group of space hyenas!" Yu Lian reminded again.

"I'm fine. The ship is damaged and needs major repairs. It will take at least a month to sail. It's just a good time to hide." Deng Zhengqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I still have a lot of business to communicate with the shipyard, so let's go to the shipyard first." going offline."

"I will send the results of our discussion here to everyone." Yu Lian said with a smile: "When you were in college, your fleet formation was always A+, but your strength is urgently needed."

After Deng Zhengqing went offline, Yu Lian looked at the three people who stayed in the chat room, that is, Teacher Yang, the red hair and the glasses, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, it really is us who are the most idle, I started I guessed it."

Horatio Wayne thought I was pitying you so much, I fed the dog so kindly.In the future, if I am a good person again, I will be a gallstone pulled by the spirit of the universe!
He sneered and said, "Hehe, I never expected that such words would come out of your mouth. Comrade Chairman, just because of your brazenness, I know why you are the Chairman."

Ouch!I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and Hongmao's verbal skills are really good!

However, at this time, Yu Lian was too lazy to share his knowledge, and said straight to the point: "Have you all watched the live military exercise just now? The news channel lacks details, so I will sort it out and send it to everyone. However, compared to The space torpedo, what I care more about, is actually the formation adopted by Admiral Farrell. I think this is an important reason why the red team can win a decisive victory."

"New formation? Or formation?" Teacher Yang asked with great interest.

"At present, it is only a squadron formation composed of arsenal ships and frigates. However, the exercise has proved that this strike fleet formation can exert a greater firepower. Then, with the capabilities of the empire, it is absolutely possible to exert This advantage is to deduce a new fleet formation." Yu Lian said.

Although everyone in this universe has been led into the evil way of facing the enemy with the bow of the ship, it is also because of this that in order to give full play to the frontal firepower advantage and follow-up tactical actions interspersed with separation and encirclement, the commanders will naturally formulate a predetermined fleet Formation, and formation changes for responding to battlefield conditions.

The larger the fleet and the more ships, the more coordination is needed.

Of course, ships are not people after all.Every action of a ship requires multiple crew members to cooperate with machines to complete.Of course, the formation of the fleet cannot be as complex and changeable as a large group gymnastics. What is needed is a simple but not simple.

At present, the main fleet formations adopted by the navies of various countries are mainly based on the extended horizontal fleet plane.

According to the battle situation and the fleet configuration made before the war started, the commander usually chooses to start outflanking on both sides, and break through in the center and break into a chaotic battle.At present, there are hundreds of tactical changes for existing fleets, but they are nothing more than variations of these two types.

In short, it is to find a way to release more firepower than the opponent and weaken the peripheral strength of the enemy ship, and then perform a jump on the key battleship to paralyze its center.

Sounds simple doesn't it?

It's not that everyone doesn't want to do some fancy tricks like dolls, but it's just that they can't do it.You know, all the changes are a test of the performance of the ship, as well as the executive ability of the captain and crew. Once you do too much work, you may be messed up first.

In today's galaxy, the empire has the strongest shipbuilding ability, and the empire has the strongest crew quality.Naturally, the formations they want to create are much more complicated than other countries, and the tactical choices are of course more flexible.

"So, do you think that the formation adopted by Admiral Farrell is a new trick played by the empire?" Yang Xiyi was not so much asking a question, but rather began to mutter to himself.

"That's right. The formation of the red square is not a normal row plane, but a 45-degree trapezoidal slope. This formation takes into account the six-time acceleration and direction-changing performance of the new Skyfire dense missiles, as well as The interlocking shield capability of the Guardian 4 guard ship. I tested it with an almost model, and the firepower delivery efficiency will be at least [-]% higher than most plane formations. The defense efficiency will be [-]% higher. "Yu Lian said: "Of course, it is a bit difficult to change the formation of this kind of formation. Whether it is to pursue or cut into the chaotic mode of jumping gangs, it lacks flexibility."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but spread his hands and said, "I mentioned it to everyone in the observation team, but they didn't seem to be interested."

Horatio Wayne frowned all of a sudden, as if his blood pressure was raised by the anger of these insects.Of course, he didn't jump or speak directly, which shows that in the past two years, his self-cultivation and city management have indeed made great progress.

As for Akinayama Hachiman, he pushed his glasses, hiding the disdain in his eyes behind the glasses.

"It's because it's a new tactic. As people get older, it takes time to accept new things." Yang Xiyi shrugged: "Besides, this is the result of a drill after all. It hasn't been tested in actual combat. Yu Lian, you You know, even if a new weapon has not been tested in actual combat, some people will have doubts, let alone tactics."

Yu Lian thought that although this was the truth, new tactics often appeared for the sake of new equipment.When the technology of the new equipment matures, it is only a matter of time before the skills of the new tactics mature.

In fact, after five years at the most, the violent strike formation that appeared in this exercise will become the standard tactic of the Imperial Fleet, and it will be officially named "Sky Bow Tactics".In order to maximize the power of Skyfire missiles and space torpedoes, the Empire even specially developed a "Sky Bow" class exclusive arsenal ship.It took less than three years from design to service, that kind of obsession is really creepy.

From this point of view, the devils from the Empire are no better than the devils from District 11 in our hometown.

"However, the empire's innovation in fleet tactics is a very vigilant signal. Silva is a nerd, and I knew it in school. But, I really didn't think about it. The rest of the observation team, the heads are also Everyone is as hard as a wild boar who can't turn a corner, but they can still participate in such an important military delegation? What do the big figures in the National Defense Committee think? Are they expecting wild boars to repair routers?"

"Because it's not a wild boar but a domestic pig, Mr. Yang." Hachiman said: "Being an observation mission in the foreign army is a very important resume. The time is short, the treatment is good, and the gold content is high. The major factions in the army are fighting for blood. "

"Why does the army have factions? Don't you know that it is the minimum professionalism for soldiers not to interfere in politics?"

"It is precisely because the army has factions that it will not interfere in politics! The members of the National Defense Commission and the Congress are very clear."

Yu Lian wanted to roll his eyes when he heard it, but this moment is not the time to discuss the functions and ideas of the army with these guys, so he directly interrupted the discussion between the two, and said with a smile: "In short, Hachiman, you have the opportunity to change the world. That's it! Quickly deduce the possibility of this formation and the method of restraining it, and then formulate a countermeasure.

Akinayama Hachiman looked at Yu Lian with a dull gaze that was about to lose focus, pushed his glasses again, almost gritted his teeth, and then said helplessly: "The Thirteenth Fleet is just an army with a total force of less than A small fleet of forty ships is destined to miss the decisive battle with the large fleet. I really like the team atmosphere here, and I also like the new continent full of various mysteries and unknowns, and I even want to live here forever."

Therefore, the formation of the fleet's decisive battle against each other and countermeasures is none of my business!He probably wanted to convey this meaning.

However, Yu Lian pretended not to hear: "Zhengqing is an expert in fleet formation organization, you can discuss with him more. But he is busy fighting the predators now, and it is mainly up to you. By the way, there is Teacher Yang." Look at it for you, you can just think about it freely, and you don’t have to worry about going astray at all.”

What does it matter to me?Just as Yang Xiyi was about to speak, Yu Lian couldn't help but say: "You can use a simulated battle to experiment first, if Teacher Yang thinks it is feasible. Let Horatio try to practice in the solar system fleet. The current fleet commander Tulio Yes, Admiral Juan is your uncle, right?"

"Fair." Wayne said angrily.

"That's why blood is thicker than water. And you are also very interested in thinking about new tactics, and it just so happens that you are very free recently."

Horatio Wayne thought if you didn't add that last word, I'd really think you were a trans.He was about to start scolding, but Yu Lian changed the subject again, and said to Qiu Mingshan Hachiman: "Okay, let's talk about the New World. How is the current situation?"

Hachiman pondered for a while, and said: "It's nothing more than suppressing bandits, exploring, collecting information, drawing new star maps and the like. Our manpower is limited, so we can only act cautiously. It's just..."

"only?"

"Recently, there seems to be a lot of strange things happening in Xinyumen."
