Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1295 Action Plan
The 042nd Squadron of the Federal Central State Planetary Vigilance Fleet is currently loading materials for energy engines onto a reserve ship on a mineral planet under the guise of patrol.

There is a spaceship at a certain distance from the mineral planet; this is the mineral planet mothership.

This type of spacecraft is mainly used to store collected materials.

Some mineral-bearing planets only have the conditions for collection but not for storage, so the minerals need to be purified inside these spaceships.

If mineral planets have the conditions for purification, then this is their warehouse.

These are all modified super-large transport ships, and there are remote control personnel inside, mainly used to monitor intelligent mining equipment.

This mining ship is different from the others.

Its protection level is very high.

This is because the materials used in the energy engine are highly radioactive.

This material is many times more radioactive than ordinary materials.

This is not a nuclear material in the traditional sense; its radioactivity is hundreds of thousands of times higher than that of conventional uranium!
This material is very rare, and even a tiny bit of it can be fatal.

Therefore, this material only exists on high-density planets!

To collect this material, mining companies need to use special equipment to extract minerals from this planet.

Then these minerals are transported to the spaceship for processing, because large equipment cannot be deployed on such a high-density planet.

Because of its extremely high density, the volume of minerals collected each time is very small.

Because planets have low density, their gravity is strong.

Of course, the energy consumed will also be greater.

Therefore, this material is very expensive because the costs of mining, transportation, and refining are all very high.

Because of its high weight and density, this material can simply be loaded into the cargo hold of a warship!
The officers in the Federation fleet are now somewhat afraid.

These officers knew that the pirate alliance would not give up easily.

Moreover, the last pirate alliance united sixteen pirate groups.

This organizational ability also frightened these officers.

The main reason is that the federal officers are all from conglomerates, and most of them are from the families to which these conglomerates belong. In the past, these people only joined the army to control it, but even if they didn't join the army, they could still live happily for the rest of their lives because their families and conglomerates have plenty of money.

These officers now face a problem: if they die, they have nothing left.

The Seventh Fleet has slaughtered so many pirates; if they were captured by pirates, they would certainly not have a good end.

These officers didn't care when there was no war.

However, leaving is impossible now, and the conglomerate is unlikely to relinquish control of the military.

The soldiers in the fleet are now in a state of panic.

Because the ordinary soldiers of the Federation fleet were the officers' slaves.

These soldiers had to hand over one-third of their salary to their officers.

Another issue is that these officers are receiving salaries without working. For example, an officer might have a hundred men under his command, but in reality, he only has fifty.

These fifty men not only had to do the work of one hundred men, but also had to hand over one-third of their salary to the officers.

Of course, all fifty of these people have biochips.

While biochips can prevent these people from betraying their jobs, they can still slack off or even make mistakes at crucial moments.

In times of peace, an officer could have as many as ten men under his command, let alone fifty.

But now, if war breaks out, this will cause a big problem.

The reason why space battleships have so many soldiers is that during wartime, the data of various intelligent systems can easily be interfered with.

The warships themselves can interfere with each other electronically, with energy interference, and with energy bombs, etc.

The soldiers on the warship are mainly responsible for three aspects. The first is the energy cannon. Because if they are subjected to electronic interference or energy impact, the enemy may launch fighter jets or mechs to fight. At this time, people need to operate the energy cannon.

The second is to operate manned fighter jets or manned mechs to strike the enemy under conditions of energy impact or electronic interference.

Thirdly, electronic interference or energy shocks may affect some critical equipment, which will require human intervention.

For example, when a warship is subjected to electronic interference or other situations, the warship's own detection data may be problematic!
At this point, the warship needs to be controlled by a person. Of course, at this time, the warship uses various data stored internally, such as star charts, etc.
The soldiers on the Federation warships are treated the worst among the three countries, even worse than pirates!

However, in the Federation's environment, being able to serve on a warship is already the best option.

Because there are absolutely no guarantees for ordinary people in the federal government, as these companies will inevitably clash due to their own interests.

Moreover, as mentioned earlier, these people in the Federation deliberately made everything on the planet radioactive in order to enslave ordinary people.

Every ordinary person needs to take certain medications every day. If they don't take these medications, they will develop various diseases in a short period of time!

This is what these federal companies have tailored for ordinary people; they will control the radiation to a certain level.

In addition, the radiation is different on each planet, so the drugs sold by the company on each planet are also different.

In addition, because these things on the planet emit radiation, there are many mutated plants and animals on the Federation planet.

Perhaps a tiny spider can mutate, and one bite might mean its demise!

Serving in the federal military was originally a good option, but now those who serve face enormous threats.

After all, everyone joins the army just to make a living, but now they really have to risk their lives.

Then their salary was cut, and they were forced to do even more work than before.

In the past, people just wanted to make a living, so they tolerated whatever amount of money they had.

This is going to be a disaster!
It's better to become an adventurer or mercenary. Although adventurers and mercenaries also face life-threatening situations, they are high-risk, high-reward professions.

So despite having just won a major victory, the federal army is still very worried.

Therefore, after this sub-fleet loaded materials worth hundreds of trillions of credits and moved a certain distance away, all of the fleet's active radars were turned on.

This is the Federation's latest updated combat manual, which utilizes active radar for ultra-long-range detection.

Then, strike enemy warships from a distance.

Yang Bo scoffed at the Federation Fleet's actions.

The Seventh Fleet's victory last time was due to the accurate intelligence it provided!
Whether it's the Alliance or the Empire, their warship combat manuals stipulate that they should only fire when they reach a certain distance!
Moreover, warships generally do not turn on their active radar, because if the other side turns on its radar, its own passive radar can also detect the other side's position.

Another reason for this is the consumption of energy.

There's also the lifespan of the energy system.

Prolonged overload will reduce the lifespan of the energy system.

Furthermore, in the event of war, the initial charging time for energy cannons or energy shields will be extended.

The Empire and the Alliance both have warships equipped with spare artificial energy stones.

These energy stones are mainly used for the initial charging of energy cannons or energy shields.

Whenever the commander deems an emergency recharge necessary, the emergency energy system will be activated, providing energy from both energy stones and the energy system to shorten recharge time.

Yang Bo disguised himself as John Lee and joined forces with four other pirate groups.

Yang Bo also gained supervisory authority over more than fifty warships from four other pirate groups! "This fleet has two B-class warships, four C-class warships, and eight D-class warships."

"The Federation fleet is escorting energy engine materials this time!"

"First of all, I will not participate in the allocation of these warships, because even if I get them, I won't be able to use them publicly!"

“So I’ll take these materials, but when allocating them, the price will be based on the price you pay the Pirate Alliance, since these materials are hard to sell!” Yang Bo pulled the commanders of the four pirate groups into a virtual conference room!

This is a temporary local area network composed of several warships.

The first vice-captain of the Witch Pirates gritted her teeth and said, "General Li, this time I must take revenge. I must kill these damned guys and record a video."

The Witch Pirates suffered a devastating defeat last time when a single Federation fleet destroyed one of their C-class warships, two D-class warships, and three E-class warships, resulting in the loss of over 10,000 men.

In addition, the commander was also killed, and the current first deputy regimental commander is the former second deputy regimental commander.

You're wrong about that!

"If you kill these Federation officers and soldiers, then next time they encounter a Federation fleet, they will fight to the death!"

"You should learn from me. Now, all I have to do is shout, and your pirate crew obediently abandons your warships!"

"These soldiers in the Federation are just trying to make a living."

"They are the slaves of those officers!"

"You can capture those officers and then extort them!"

"Capture those soldiers, and when we encounter the Federation fleet again, we'll have them shout something!"

"I'm sure these soldiers know people from other fleets." Yang Bo completely disagreed with the Witch Pirates' first vice-captain's actions!

"I also think General Li's idea is good!" The first vice-captain of the Death God Pirates also agreed with John Li's statement.

The commanders of both the Seventh Pirate Crew and the Hound Pirate Crew agreed!
The first vice-captain of the Witch Pirates said through gritted teeth, "Last time, the Federation fleet massacred more than 13,000 of our pirates, and only more than 200 were captured by the Federation, and they were even sentenced to death!"

"We can't swallow this!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Bo immediately said, "In that case, you should withdraw!"

"I don't care what you do normally, but if you're going to work with me, you have to listen to me!"

"If you insist on killing Federation soldiers, then you will not get any warships next time, because these soldiers will definitely fight to the end knowing that they are going to die, and will choose to self-destruct the warships."

The other three pirate crews all agreed upon hearing this.

"Now that we're here, we'll listen to General Li!"

"General Li is right, our target is warships, and of course, people!"

"If your witch pirate crew doesn't want you to leave, then so be it!"

"Exactly! If you keep doing this, how are we supposed to build warships next time!"

"If you ask me, he deserves it!"

"If you ask me, they deserve it; there are still people who believe in the pirate alliance."

"Those elders of the Pirate Alliance Council are now all backed by the Alliance and the Empire!"

"They'd love for our pirate crew to fight the Federation to the death."

"It's your witch pirate crew that should withdraw!"

The Return Hound Pirates, the Death Pirates, and the First Seven Pirates have all greatly increased in strength!

Everyone is now hoping to get their hands on a Class B warship this time.

If the Witch Pirates do something like this, what will we do next time?

Upon hearing John Lee's firm stance, the first vice-captain of the Witch Pirates had no choice but to contact the captain.

Even the leader of the Witch Pirates couldn't do anything about it. If you released Lee John, it would be even more troublesome for the pirate crew to recover.

"Alright, we, the Witch Pirates, obey General Li's orders." In the end, the Witch Pirates had no choice but to compromise.

Yang Bo couldn't let the Witch Pirates ruin his plans.

"Let's keep each other in check."

"Anyone who violates the rules..."

“Then not only will he not have the right to allocate resources for this operation, but he will also be kicked out of our team!” Yang Bo said again.

"I agree!"

"I agree!" The first vice-captains of the four pirate crews unanimously agreed!
"Now I will announce the battle plan."

"The first option is..." Yang Bo explained the battle plan in detail.

There are three options, two of which are backup options.

After the plan was announced, everyone proceeded with the silent navigation as planned.

Yang Bo's plan this time was simple: first, to besiege the enemy's stronghold and then attack their reinforcements.

Because this squadron was disguised as a patrol fleet.

Therefore, this fleet needs to travel between six mineral planets!
Yang Bo plans to attack one of the mineral planets!

Therefore, this squadron must go to the rescue!

Since they were a disguised patrol team, if they didn't go to the rescue at this time, it would arouse suspicion from others!
Then intercept this squadron on the way!

If this detachment doesn't fall for it!

Then let's proceed with the second option!

In the first plan, only one Class D warship attacks the mineral planet.

Meanwhile, the warships of the other four pirate groups were hidden in one place.

If this squadron goes to acquire resources, then the four pirate groups will try to sabotage it.

If this fleet doesn't go and instead returns to Madhya Pradesh, then the second plan will be implemented, as the four pirate groups happen to be on the same route that this fleet is taking back to Madhya Pradesh.

Meanwhile, the warships controlled by Yang Bo will be hidden further away.

Yang Bo will not appear unless absolutely necessary.

The third option is for this fleet to turn back, although this possibility is very small, it is not impossible.

Yang Bo was in the area where this fleet was passing through. If this fleet returned, Yang Bo's three warships would be disguised as other pirate ships.

Although the Federation fleet activated its active radar, the pirate crew and Yang Bo's warships would remain outside its radar detection range!

Because Yang Bo can know the location of this fleet in real time through federal intelligence agencies.

Of course, Yang Bo wouldn't reveal this unless absolutely necessary.

This would expose one's intelligence sources.

Therefore, the four pirate groups and Yang Bo's warships went their separate ways.
