Commander's Anime Harem

"VF11 is preparing for attack. Pilots, please prepare."

A clear female voice was heard on the communication channel. Four holographic projections formed an attack channel that appeared in front of the driver. The blood-red light "OFF" on the attack sign flashed on the helmet, and the beeping alarm made the hand holding the joystick tense up simultaneously.

"Attack channel deployed, main catapult ready, clear ahead!"

As soon as the female voice fell, the OFF button went out and the ON button came on. The VF11's thermonuclear jet engine unleashed a massive thrust, propelling this steel behemoth towards the possible battlefield. The actual push-back feeling pressed the driver firmly against the linear seat.

"The Black Dogs attack!!"

After the pilot shouted the launch port, when his sight left the ejection channel, what appeared before his eyes was the deep and profound universe and stars, as well as his teammates who were providing support from behind.

The patrol guard team is similar in nature to the coast guard that is active in law enforcement on the ocean, but their armament is not inferior to that of the Black Dog Team in the first wave of attacks. It consists of a battle group of seven VF11 fighters, six of which carry standard combat equipment and one early warning VF11 responsible for battlefield intelligence collection and electronic warfare.

After them, another Magellan-class special cruiser also began to launch carrier-based aircraft.

The brave imperial warriors rushed towards the line of light in the distance. After identification, they found that it was VF171 of the New Unified Army.

Chapter 556: Fighting

The CIC center of the New Unified Army's Northampton-class aircraft destroyer immediately sounded a shrill alarm when its radar detected the incoming VF11 fleet.

"Captain, fourteen enemy targets are approaching from the direction of the hijacked freighter. Database image analysis indicates they are VF11 fighter jets from the old Unified Army era. We anticipate contact in ten minutes."

After the signalman on the bridge compared the images and features captured by the optical array and radar on the computer, the shipboard database instantly matched the data of the VF11 fighter. He immediately reported to the captain and marked the red triangle symbol symbolizing the enemy on the spherical holographic projection. However, the signalman did not notice that the speed of the VF11 he mentioned was a bit too unreasonable.

But even if he noticed it, the signalman would not be able to do anything about it.

Since the old Unified Military Government was replaced by the New Unified Military Government and humans began the plan to sow seeds throughout the universe, the New Unified Military Government, in addition to having absolute control over the Earth Eden, basically all fleets departing from the Earth obey the government's orders in name, while secretly controlling the military and heavy industry. The fleet government of agriculture is a local tyrant, especially the fleets related to the heavy industrial enterprises that rose in the Unified War. It is possible for them to produce all kinds of weird VF fighters.

After all, there is a joke in the mecha war universe filled with war and death. The performance of old mechas that have been modernized is comparable to the latest mechas, and they are not outdated in the New Unified Army. A great pilot, such as the legendary genius pilot Max, can beat the guys driving the most advanced fighters to a pulp even if he drives an outdated mecha.

It was precisely because of this mentality that the signalmen and even other people in the CIC center did not pay much attention to the VF11's excessively fast speed.

"Captain Link asked whether we should attack them or focus on negotiations?" The communications officer turned his chair to face the captain. "After all, they have a roll-on/roll-off cargo ship. The information we've found indicates that those are Galaxy Apples purchased by the Ipsilon Consortium from Windermere. They're valuable goods. If we damage them, we might even be held accountable."

"who are we?"

After listening to the communicator's report, the captain said something without even raising his eyelids, which puzzled everyone present. A few people understood what he meant, but they didn't want to say it. After all, this issue is sometimes very sensitive.

"what?"

The signalman touched the back of his head in confusion. His brain, which had long been soaked in ice beer, simply didn't grasp the essence of the captain's words. How capable could a guy be to be thrown into this border star field to do patrol missions with no benefits?

Just as the signalman was thinking about how to respond, he saw his friend winking at him. While winking, his friend pulled up his military uniform with his hands and pointed frantically at the seniority badges on the uniform. After the information was conveyed, his friend pretended nothing had happened and lowered his head to do his own thing.

"Oh, oh, oh! I get it!" With his friend's hint, the signalman immediately understood what he meant. He immediately replied confidently, "Of course we are your good subordinates, Captain. We work quickly and effectively. If you say go east, we would never dare to go west!"

"I even used the old Eden proverb of flattery. The captain will surely reward me."

After saying that, the signalman looked at the captain with a flattering expression, feeling happy. He thought that if he served the captain well, he might be able to be transferred to a prosperous star field, or at the very least, he could get away from this hellhole full of mania. A promotion and a pay raise would be just around the corner!

The signalman, immersed in his fantasy, did not notice the captain's chest rising and falling violently and his face getting redder and redder. He thought the captain was amused by his words and the desperate look that his friend kept giving him.

"Damn Private First Class Tanabe!!!"

The captain's roar almost pierced through the alloy ceiling. Everyone lowered their heads and worked, except for the silly signalman who was sprayed in the face with saliva.

"We are the military of the fucking New Unified Government. Now our citizens' cargo ship has been hijacked, and you're asking me if I'm still negotiating with the bandits!!! You're disrespecting the authority of the New Unified Government. Watch me send in my VF fighter jets to blow them all up!"

"Now!"

"immediately!!"

"immediately!!!"

"Tell Captain Link to strike hard at the bandits who dared to hijack our ro-ro cargo ship!"

"And damn, have the command center send reinforcements!!!"

The captain's barrage of insults left the communications officer, Ichiro Tanabe, completely bewildered. Seeing he hadn't taken any action, the captain launched into another barrage: "Damn it, Tanabe, hurry up and do it! If you don't notify everyone, I'll skin you alive and hang you from the flagpole outside the battleship, with the rope tied to your second brother!!!"

"Yes! I'll do it right away, Captain!"

After returning to his seat, Tanabe felt that his life was dark. He had misunderstood the captain's meaning and guessed that after this he would have to roll off the ship. He might even be assigned by the military to a remote planet as a lifelong observer and spend his life with wild animals. But things still had to be done, so Tanabe passed the captain's order to Captain Link of the carrier-based aircraft formation word for word.

The VF171 fleet is composed of six squadrons, with a total of three squadrons and eighteen fighters. It seems that I have the advantage in both quality and quantity.

"Tanabe, this idiot must have pissed off our Captain again, using direct insults."

Link patted his helmet and mocked Tanabe again on the team communication channel.

"Tanabe deserves it. He's always yelling and shouting on the bridge. He should have been whipped long ago."

"Hahahaha, so annoying!"

The team's communication channel was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. It seemed that Tanabe's emotional intelligence was too low. He had offended many people, and almost no one sympathized with him.

After laughing for a while, the captain felt that time was almost up, so he stopped his men: "Alright, stop laughing, the enemy is clearly six thousand kilometers away. Since they dared to steal our Galaxy Apple, we will use missiles to kick their asses!"

The VF171 fleet received the order and entered an attack posture. They were originally stealth-specialized and intelligence-gathering fighters, and they carried auxiliary fuel tanks loaded with more propellant for this operation. In order to reduce the weight, they abandoned them in space and began to climb with afterburner.

The Black Dog team noticed the movements of VF171. Since the enemy had drawn their swords, it meant that there would be no peaceful resolution this time, and it was not considered that they had started the fight. Naturally, the Empire's pilots would not be polite. They also threw away the auxiliary fuel tanks and directly started the afterburner. The thermonuclear jet engine emitted a deafening roar that only the pilots could hear. The light and flexible body of the VF11 Swift turned into a sharp sword and rushed out.

"Minovsky particle jammers begin to spread, and the first salvo of air-to-air missiles is launched!"

"Lie Lin aircraft launch!"

"Tom launch!"

…………

Dozens of white burning trails quickly broke away from the wings of the fighter plane under the roar of the rocket engine, shining towards the enemy.

Chapter 557: Total Annihilation

“BOOM——!!!”

An incomparably gorgeous firework filled with the breath of death bloomed in the lonely and dark universe. This was the first casualty of the exchange between the New Unified Army Border Patrol and the Shigra Empire Patrol Guard. Facing the VF11 Swift, which looked like an old model but was actually a devilishly modified one and looked like a completely new fighter except for its aerodynamic shape, Link's team felt that the reason they wiped out the enemy within half an hour was because they had been slacking off in training recently.

Both sides fired missiles at each other, and both relied on the VF fighter's unique super maneuverability to dodge and entered the WVR (visual range) to prepare for a one-sided bloody massacre.

When the first stubborn fool who was eager to be shot down rushed forward and was blown into pieces by the opponent's green light beam and exploded into a ball of fireworks, and the pilot failed to eject successfully, and also found that his own communication and search were seriously interfered with by electronic interference, the unilateral massacre became a huge joke, and his side became the turkey that was hunted by others.

If he had a choice, Link would definitely communicate with the enemy using light signals first, rather than locking onto them with the fire control radar. The moment the battle started, his confidence turned into the radar warning device beeping frantically, almost as if it was about to self-destruct.

"Damn it, I'm locked in!!!"

"Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!"

"Woooooa ...

The communication channel, with its peculiar noise of electronic equipment, was no longer as clear as it had been a few minutes ago. The roars and screams of teammates tortured the eardrums of the remaining people. For a long time, the pilots had only been fighting roving Zentraedi and catching stowaways, causing their once skilled driving skills to degenerate to third-rate level. Faced with the old soldiers of the Higla Empire who were like wolves and tigers and were either fighting or on their way to fight, the performance of the New Unified Army was as panic-stricken as antelopes being chased and hunted by lions.

The reason why there are still ten left now is purely because the VF171 has very good performance. It is at least one of the best mass-produced fighter jets currently available in the new integration.

Of course, the main reason is that the patrol guard team wants to catch a few tongues. They have already sent the records and videos of the other party actively turning on the fire control radar and seizing the attack position to the rear. If they capture a few more prisoners, they can polish the report after the shooting. Who doesn't like the credit of getting a head start?

Seeing their own aircraft group being dispersed by the enemy, the three Northampton-class destroyers immediately moved forward, realizing that things were not going well. Two of the Northampton-class destroyers, which were pure gunboats, rushed to the front. In their eagerness to rescue their teammates, they did not notice that they were also the targets of the two Magellan-class special cruisers.

"Target confirmed, weapons control lifted, fire!!!"

The moment the captain with dotty eyes saw the image of the enemy warship on the holographic projection, he decisively gave the order to open fire, much like a captain who had slapped Amuro's head so hard that it made him buzz.

Another Magellan-class destroyer opened fire simultaneously. Four extremely bright and thick particle jets in the universe penetrated the two Northampton-class destroyers on the left and right, which had not yet had time to fire a shot. In the torrent of light, the armor of the battleships gradually melted and collapsed until the heavy particle flow completely penetrated them.

Under the illumination of the signal lights emitted by the scattered lifeboats, the two destroyers lost their life. Perhaps there were still survivors in the wreckage, but they could only wait for the winner of the battle to come and rescue them. Obviously, the winner would not be the New Unified Army.

"Damn it! The friendly warship was blown up! Uwaa ...

Another VF171 was distracted and was hit by two melee bullets from the VF11 that was following closely behind it. The VF171 had no chance to eject and was engulfed in the rising flames.

"Captain, what should we do!"

Link's wingman called for help on the communication channel. As it was her first combat mission, she was obviously not prepared for death, and her tone was tearful.

"..."

Link didn't know how to comfort himself. He was also being pursued by two VF11s. Emerald green beams of light kept streaking across the fuselage. He could even hear the buzzing sound of the particles impacting him. The heavy breathing inside his helmet made the man determined to give it a try and not let the blood of his teammates be shed in vain.

VF171 flipped its triangular fuselage again and scattered large amounts of decoy bombs, successfully luring the two melee bombs attacking from the rear. With the help of the smoke produced by the explosion, Link pulled the control stick hard, and VF171 fired the last two melee bombs in the bomb bay, and immediately transformed into B form after the launch. The mechanical arm took the Gatling gun shot out from the right leg and fired at the attacking VF11.

The dense rain of bullets that could easily penetrate the battle capsules and VF fighters enveloped the flexible body of the VF11 Swift that was dodging the combat bullets. The missile launch distance was too close. In order to avoid the missile, a VF11 was hit by an armor-piercing bullet on the wing and rushed to the other side in flames. The pilot ejected successfully.

Another VF11 chose to transform. A small shield popped out from its left hand to block its chest. The laser anti-aircraft cannon on its head fired continuously to shoot down the incoming missiles. The beam machine gun in its right hand fired back at Link.

At this time, the distance between the two sides had completely entered the range of close-range dogfighting. VF11 then transformed into a fighter form. Before the rapid climb was completed, it moved its tail wing, coordinated with the leading edge maneuvering flaps and ailerons, completed a 180-degree roll, pulled the aircraft up and tilted back, and flipped vertically, just in time to "affectionately" look into the eyes of VF171 rushing straight up.

In the upside-down cockpit, through the integral bubble canopy, the pilots of the twin engines could only see each other clearly, but the two fighters just moved away and continued the battle.

The advantages of the VF fighter were brought to the extreme by the two pilots with very good skills. Sometimes they engaged in fierce air battles like conventional fighters, busy meeting and dodging as if performing stunts, and sometimes they changed into B form like warriors who were red-eyed with killing and communicated with the shield and gun in their hands.

But obviously, the VF171, which was designed only for covert operations, soon ran out of tricks. It carried fewer missiles, and its firepower was no match for the VF11 equipped with composite racks. The long period of trembling had consumed all its reserve ammunition.

The moment VF171 was finally locked on the retinal projection of the VF11 pilot, and when the missile lock prompt sounded, the Black Dog team captain pressed the launch button without hesitation.

"Whoosh-!"

A dragon of smoke shot out from the launch rack under the wing. At this time, the straight-line distance between the two sides was only a little over one kilometer. The combat missile hit the rear half of the VF171 fuselage almost as soon as it completed acceleration.

The ten-kilogram high-energy fragmentation warhead, together with the unburned rocket engine, blew half of Link's car into pieces, but Link still ejected successfully. The man floating in the universe could only watch his beloved fighter plane turn into burning wreckage. When he looked up again, VF11 had stopped in front of him and stretched out his hand.

Link, who was gently captured, looked up and saw that there were no fighter planes of his own in the starry sky. Only VF11 was taking prisoners. In the distance, the Magellan-class special cruiser Victory was sending out an iron ball search and rescue team to retrieve the survivors of the Northampton-class destroyer, and the flagship of the New Unified Army had already sent out a surrender signal.

The news of a quick victory with minimal losses was soon delivered to Xiao Renwu, who was still stranded on Euphemia Star. However, since he had not yet devoured Angel and others, he obviously had no intention of leaving here and chose to directly hand over the task of subsequent negotiations with the new unified government to Lux.

When Lux arrived at the Norma Star Region with six strike groups, the New Unified Government also arrived with the Valkyrie Squad.

Chapter 558 Happy New Year!

Like a sudden localized rainstorm, the warships of the Higra Empire appeared in large numbers in groups, with an extremely exaggerated number of them flashing with blue light before the New Unified Military Government and the supportive △ team of the Caius Ragna branch.

At the forefront is the Titan-class battleship with a space-time rupture shield. It is also the flagship of the strike cluster. Under the protection of a number of Phalanx-class battleships, the towering figure of the Titan-class battleship is still the most eye-catching one even in the vast universe. It attracted the attention of the New Unified Army from the moment it appeared.

Although the New Unified Government built a large number of NMCV-class (New Macroscraft Carrier) New Breeches Screw-class battleships during the period of large-scale immigration, the older NMCV-7 main body is about 7.7km, and the most advanced Archipelago-class NMCV-25 main body is 15km. The 25th Fleet is of this level. Their matching combat parts are called Macross Battle, with a baseline of 1,600 meters. This type of battleship is the main ship of the New Unified Army and is used as a flagship. For example, the flagship of the Solar System Fleet is Macross Battle-13.

For the newly unified unified army stationed in the remote border region of Lagona, facing a 5,000-meter flagship like the Higla Empire's Titan-class battleship is no less a challenge than facing an incoming hostile backbone fleet.

The main combat force of the Unified Army is the Northampton-class destroyers, most of which are artillery-type. They are the largest in number, within seventy ships. The large battleships are the Urazuru-class space aircraft carriers, totaling more than twenty ships. The flagship is the Enterprise-class aircraft carrier. The only Breeches Screw is the flagship of the Caius Interstellar Giant Enterprise stationed in the Grana branch, which came to help, the 2/3 Macros Battle-class battleship Elision.

On the other hand, the Higla Empire has three Titan-class battleships alone, and the rest of the battleships number in the tens of thousands. Whether in terms of quality or quantity, the New Unified Government is at an absolute disadvantage. If they don't mobilize people, they will be beaten to pieces by the Higla people in minutes.

As for the conventional tactics used by the fleet to defeat the basic fleet, which refers to a decapitation operation in which an elite team destroys the flagship, thereby causing the other Zentraedi to scatter. Just by looking at the wreckage of VF171 floating in the universe, one can tell that this trick will not work.

The two sides were in a tense confrontation. Fortunately, Xiao Renwu did not plan to wipe out this border force and recruit the main force of the New Unified Army stationed in the solar system. It was not that he could not defeat them, but the wave cannon had already begun to be tested on board ships. The Imperial Space Army was not afraid at all, but there was no need to do so.

Although the New Unified Army was like a sieve, the separatist forces were quite generous to those heavy industrial enterprises, and even the rebels could get the cutting-edge macross battleships, but the New Unified Army resisted the Zentraedi's core fleet.

The Macross universe is like a giant fucking kitchen, and the basic fleet is the cockroaches in it. When one was discovered, it meant that they were already everywhere, so it is better for the New Unified Government to exist. Xiao Renwu doesn't want these things running around all over the universe.

"There's just too many aliens out there. If their paint wasn't as green as the base fleet, I'd have thought it was another large wave of base fleets." Arad Metas teased Ernest Johnson, a burly figure beside him, whose skin was the pale green of the Zentraedi, practically a living green-skinned Orc. "Johnson, do you think the Alision will be given special attention if those bigwigs up there demand a fight?"

"Tsk, you talk as if you can fight."

Captain Johnson of the Elision scoffed at his old friend's teasing. He clasped his massive chest muscles in both hands and gazed across at the Higla Empire fleet. He had a different perspective on this newly discovered civilization:

"If a war really breaks out, the enemy will definitely send out carrier-based aircraft that are even more powerful than the VF171. And are our Δ team just going to watch? Their captain is right next to me~"

"Perhaps those masters above are already planning to suppress this minor border conflict. The Higla Empire's display of force shows that they possess a fairly powerful nation and tens of billions of people. In any case, the new unification needs this ally and market."

After saying that, Johnson patted Metas on the shoulder, drank the coffee in one gulp, and went to the bridge to get busy. As the captain, he had to stay on the front line to get more information from the front line.

"You're right, Johnson."

Metas took a sip of coffee to clear his groggy brain. Originally, their mission was to investigate some issues regarding mania within the Grana planet. Due to the border conflict, they were temporarily transferred to reinforce the New Unified Army. The man had not slept for a whole day and night.

Metas could not deny his friend's idea. There was nothing the senior officials dared not do. He did not believe that they did not know the information about the new variable fighter jet on Windermere Star, so he just kept dragging it out. Metas, who was just the captain of an elite team, could only sigh at such a situation.

The flagship of the New Unified Army, Enterprise, was the first to send out a series of light signals. The huge light spots projected were like bright stars, extremely conspicuous in the universe. They constantly adjusted their positions and passed on the information. The two opposing parties were like powder kegs that could explode at any time. Only a simple and clear method like light signals could enable the two sides to communicate and avoid detonating it.

On the CIC, the flagship of the Northwest Combat Cluster of the Higla Empire Space Force, Lacus was sitting in the captain's command chair. Under Xiao Renwu's appointment, Lacus, who is also the Minister of Foreign Affairs, will serve as the commander-in-chief of the border conflict negotiations, and her deputy is Major General Bakilulu.

"Your Highness, the New Unified Government hopes to negotiate with us regarding this border conflict. They will send civilian ships close to our defense zone."

The signalman quickly converted the information into text and reported it to Lux.

"It seems the New Unified Government has lost their patience. How long has the standoff lasted?"

Lux's smile is as beautiful as a flower, and her voice as clear as the sound of nature makes the staff on the bridge feel refreshed. If it is not working hours, I am afraid that everyone will ask for the girl's autograph. Lux is not only the Empire's Minister of Foreign Affairs, but also a phenomenal singer. In the Empire's entertainment circle, her existence is no less than the Galaxy Fairy and the Orchid Queen.

"It's been less than half an hour. I was thinking of trying the wave motion cannon."

Bakilulu had a look of regret on her face. Ever since joining the Higra Empire, this former true soldier of the Earth Federation finally understood what an army was. Compared with the disciplined and obedient Imperial Army, the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation were simply a bunch of scum who could only bully civilians and kill innocent people.
