Tens of millions of light miles from the boundary of the federal bone dragon cloud galaxy, Major General Kester of the Silver Eagle Empire sits in the Fleet Commander's room, raising his glass to the virtual image of Major General Darrance. Kester took a sip of wine and smiled and said, "wait a little longer, and our battleship, which has been here for a few months, will be ready to move."

Darrance smiled and said, "it's a pity that you can stand it for so long." After a sip of wine, he continued, "I am a little confused about the intentions of the count and the Duke, who sent us to the border galaxy without giving any orders for months, as if they had forgotten us. There was an order not long ago, but it was an order to move somewhere in the dead zone and launch a saturated cold laser attack toward the given coordinates. Although we know that it is to sweep the channel, why is it limited to that coordinate, and it is also stipulated that the shooting should be carried out at a specific time? "

"Oh, this is the strategy of the two adults." Kester laughed, but when he saw Darence asking, he hurriedly said, "as for what the strategy is, don't ask me, I don't know."

Kester smiled when he saw Darren's appearance. He shook his glass and said, "well, although we used to be good friends, we often fight because we owe different allegiances to each other." But who would have thought that the Earl, the chief military officer of the Empire, and the Duke, who manipulated politics, were two sworn enemies known to both the government and the opposition to be a pair of close comrades-in-arms. "

Darrance nodded and said, "Yes, if the two adults had not appeared in front of us at the same time and ordered us to leave the imperial capital on a mission, I would not have thought that the two adults would be on the same side."

"by the way, what will the people in Imperial Capital think when the two adults transfer the strongest troops of our two imperial forbidden armies to the border?" Kester said with a strange smile.

Darrance glared at Kester and said, "well, you know very well what else to ask." In spite of this, he said what he thought: "all of a sudden, the emperor has lost the only two strong fleets that remain neutral, and of course the emperors who are ready to move will not miss such an opportunity." But don't you think it's strange? It has been several months, the emperor is unexpectedly calm, according to my housekeeper, during this period of time the law and order of the emperor is so good that even such a small thing as the robbery has not happened. "

"the harbinger of the storm is, of course, calm," Kester said with a smile. Ha ha, do not know what the two adults will do with those guys who have committed crimes? I think it's the easiest thing to do. " Talking about the action of scratching the neck. Darrance nodded wordlessly, and after guessing that his immediate superior was another loyal person, both of them knew what the two adults would do with those who snooped for the throne.

Then there was a sound of B on the podium of the two commanders. Kester hurriedly threw away his glass and exclaimed excitedly, "finally." And pressed the button. Darence, who saw his old friend like this, just smiled and then pressed the button on the podium.

A virtual screen appeared in front of both of them, and their faces became more and more surprised as they looked at the words displayed on the screen. When the screen disappeared, Kester said in disbelief to Darence, who had regained his calm face, "No way, is this the task of keeping our two strong fleets here for a few months?"

Darrance frowned and said, "although it does look incredible and even a little playful, the two adults will not do anything meaningless." Follow the orders. maybe this mission is for that mysterious allegiance. "

Kester sighed, "Oh, I see, but I really couldn't get up. I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Speaking of which, salute Darence and shut down the communication.

Darrance shook his head helplessly and said to himself, "what a belligerent." He turned off the screen, left the room and went to the flagship command tower. after sitting in the commander's seat, he glanced at his adjutant, who immediately said, "Sir, the passage has been opened." He pointed his hand to the screen.

Seeing a circular safety passage nearly a light in diameter in the death zone on the screen, Darren nodded and said, "order Colonel Sley to lead his troops to the vanguard and tell him to pay attention to cooperation with friendly vanguards and not to compete with each other." The adjutant was ordered to retire.

At this time, on the screen showing the location of the Imperial warship group, you can see two triangular warship groups, beginning to separate two small warships of a thousand each. At first, these warships slowly broke away from the main forces, and after they came to the passageway, the hulls of these warships began to twist, and it was clear at a glance that the warships were jumping in space.

Darence, who had been watching, smiled and said to himself, "as soon as these guys saw the safe passage through, they immediately used the space jump, as if they wanted to appear on the federal defense line." But they should all know that this passage is not deep enough to be stupid enough to set the location outside the end of the passage, right? "

Darrance and Kester were both major generals, who could only lead 5,000 warships in the imperial military system, but their backers were powerful and powerful, and they were allowed to lead a fleet at random. In fact, the direct promotion of their generals can justifiably lead the fleet, but they also understand that this is to make other generals jealous of themselves, so that they can not get close to other fronts so that they will become a major general. Of course, since they are the lieutenants of major generals, their officers also correspondingly increase the number of warships they lead, such as a colonel who can command 1000 warships. There are a lot more warships than a federal colonel can command.

In the death zone on the federal side, the surviving self-propelled gunboats of more than a thousand Union troops have converged. But more than a thousand captains, who were second lieutenants not long ago and are now lieutenants, are quarrelling over joint communications. What are they making so noisy about? Of course, it is to fight for the command of these more than a thousand warships.

Tang long's warship was not as lively as other warships, not only Tang long but also his subordinates did not say a word. Everyone was staring blankly at the main screen, where more than a thousand avatar owners were shouting excitedly. They mourned for the idiots who were still fighting for command before they died.

Chen Yi opened her mouth and wanted to tell the lieutenants that the enemy was two reinforced fleets so that the unwitting people would stop quarrelling. But she didn't say it because she didn't carry out Tang long's orders truthfully last time, so that none of the nearly 9,000 warships opened their shields. Now that his own officer did not speak, he did not dare to talk too much, lest he would do something wrong again.

Everyone looked at Tang long quietly, and they all hoped that Tang long would make a decision. The worried Mary suddenly found that Tang long was not depressed, but sat on the command chair with her hands in her arms, her legs crossed on the podium, and she didn't know what to think with her eyes closed.

Mary thought of Tang long's dispirited expression when she encountered something doomed to failure, and she couldn't help feeling hopeful. She glanced at Tang long and turned to check the system she was in charge of. This action made everyone stay for a while, but they soon remembered something and went back to their posts.

At this time, Tang long was talking to Xing Zero with the vibration of his throat: "Sister, could you do me a favor? these guys are simply waiting for others to kill them if they go on quarrelling like this."

Star Zero smiled and said, "what, do you want to get command?" Of course there's no problem. Come on, how can I help you? " Tang long mumbled for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up and shouted to the screen, "shut up!"

This roar made Liu Sihao and them all stop and look back at Tang long in surprise. They did not know that the personnel of the other warships were deafened by this, nor did they know that the dense avatars of the other warships had disappeared, and the whole screen was occupied by the huge images of Tang long.

Tang long pointed to the screen and scolded: "*!" Why are you fighting for command with me? Is my boss a fake? You idiots! The enemy has opened a safe passage, will immediately use the space jump to appear in front of us, unexpectedly still in the mood to fight for command here? All radar personnel follow orders to calculate the possible location of the enemy's space jump! "

Tang long said the Genna, who stared at him blankly, shouted: "adjutant, send the detected channel image data, the location data of the enemy when the radium ray was emitted, to all the warships." As soon as Genna shook, he responded hurriedly and began to carry out the task. And Erhua has begun to calculate the location of the enemy's jump.

With that, Tang long shouted viciously to the screen: "give me the calculation as soon as possible, and the results will be reported to me as soon as possible, and the guy who wants to die will give me a look at it!" With a wave of his hand, the images of the captain on the screen disappeared and were replaced with the image of the channel map.

Genna, who was in charge of managing the computer and happened to finish the task, was stunned to see this. I didn't press the button to change the screen, and I didn't see the officer press the button on the podium. What's going on? The computer must not break down at this time. At the thought of this, Genna, who was in a cold sweat, immediately began to test the computer system. Of course, she was in vain.

Of course, those captains knew that Tang long was the boss who had no real power, but they acquiesced to the command of Tang long when they did not accept others as commanders. This is human nature, in the leaderless do not know the goal, but also quarrel with each other should go that way, we are not obedient to each other. A man who everyone knows and knows his tough deeds comes out and says I'll take you away. In this way, the subconscious will follow us, whether we like it or not.

And another reason why they will agree with Tang long's command is because Tang long said that the enemy is about to appear. Of course, they know that the safe passage means that the enemy can make a space jump within the range of the passage. Thinking that the enemy is about to appear, although they do not know how powerful they are, but these people who have not experienced the war will always be afraid.

So they don't have time to care if they can be commanders, and they are now anxiously asking radar crews to rely on the data they receive to calculate the enemy's jump points. Although I don't know what the use of the calculation is, but I don't know what to do, I finally have a job to stabilize my anxiety.

Tang long frowned anxiously at Erhua's desperately beating fingers, and he couldn't help asking Chen Yi, "haven't a warship sent the results of the calculation yet?"

Chen Yi shook her head and did not speak, while Liu Sihao said aloud, "Sir, it takes a long time for the whole fleet to calculate the jump position, and there are few of us, coupled with the fact that this kind of computer system is not a very advanced self-propelled gunboat." the calculation time will take more. "

When Tang long was about to say something, he suddenly heard two grins in his ear, and then he heard Erhua jump up and cheer: "it's out!" When Liu Sihao looked at Erhua in disbelief, Chen Yi stood up and shouted happily, "Sir, information has also been sent from all the warships, and the location has been calculated."

Tang long immediately understood what was going on. His throat quivered, and there was a starry laugh in his ear: "you're welcome. Think about what you're going to do when you get where they are."

Tang long nodded slightly and said to Chen Yi, "get through to all battleship communications, adjutant, and leave the computer to me." "Yes!" The two women were busy with their tasks after the salute.

Tang long pressed on the computer on the podium, and the calculated location of the enemy jump appeared on the screen. I see this place at a vertical distance of 300 from me, and there is a jump every few kilometers. The vertical column here is equal to 1 million kilometers, even though it is used to calculate the effective firing distance in space war.

With the manipulation of Tang long, the jumping point on the screen became a bright spot display. After that, the data automatically marked by the computer showed that there were 2000 hops in the 300 vertical distance.

"I can't believe it's an army of two thousand!" All the officers and soldiers who saw this gasped. There are twice as many enemies as you are, and this is likely to be a vanguard force. But even if the number was 200, the officers and soldiers would not be happy, for they knew very well that the Imperial Army would not have cannon fodder ships like self-propelled gunboats. Even if the other side's 2,000 warships are the lowest-level warships of the enemy, their strength is still dozens of times stronger than their own. The hopes of the officers and soldiers who had wanted to establish meritorious service began to be dashed, and if the general had not ordered those who escaped in battle, anyone could have been killed, and they would have run away long ago!

Liu Sihao said to Tang long worriedly, "Sir, the strength of the enemy is too strong, we …". " Tang long looked back and smiled at Liu Sihao and said, "Don't worry, we can withstand these two thousand enemy ships for a while. If we are lucky, we can wait until the Fuke fleet arrives."

As soon as Liu Sihao froze, the officer unexpectedly said not to worry, can withstand for a while? It's not a brain burn, is it? The enemy is 2000 regular warships, not this kind of cannon fodder self-propelled gunboat. When Liu Sihao didn't know what to say, Li Lijun foolishly asked, "Sir, what if we are unlucky?"

Tang long curled his lips and glanced at Li Lijun and said, "I didn't expect that?" If you are unlucky, you will surrender. " Hearing this, everyone was stunned with their mouths open, and Chen Yi froze for a moment before she immediately turned off the communication connected to other warships. She looked at Tang long with a pale face, and even if she said these words in her own ship, her subordinates would not go out and talk nonsense. But now that more than 1,000 warships and more than 10,000 people have heard of it, there is no guarantee that no one will report to the court-martial. Talking about surrender before the war can be regarded as treason.

Although Chen Yi moved quickly, people on other warships heard what Tang long said. They all have a move in their hearts, and they will be put to death if they run away, while they will definitely die in battle, so surrender will be a good decision. But I heard that there is still slavery in the Silver Eagle Empire, so these soldiers will not be demoted to slaves, will they?

Tang long found that the communicator had been turned off and opened it with dissatisfaction, while Li Lijun asked the question that all the officers and soldiers were worried about.

After hearing Li Lijun's question, Tang long could not help laughing and said, "will you be demoted to slavery after surrender?" Ho-ho, don't worry, in order to show its grace, the Empire will not turn its troops into slaves, but will entertain them well and let them enjoy high treatment. Because they want to use it to publicize and strive to recruit more troops. Just look at our federal documentaries and see how well the captives were treated at that time. "

Hearing Tang long's words, all the people were relieved. I saw the war documentaries published by the Federation when I was a child, and I was not angry when I saw that the prisoners were treated better than federal citizens. Now these federal soldiers are no longer worried about anything, and some guys are even starting to think about how they are going to surrender when the enemy comes.

But Tang long suddenly woke everyone up with a big drink: "listen up!" Don't think that the enemy will accept it as soon as he surrenders. Even if they accept it, they will lock you up like ordinary soldiers! So we have to scare them and let them think that we are very outstanding, so that we will be treated as special soldiers! "

Hearing this, the officers and soldiers nodded involuntarily. Yes, if they had surrendered like this, the enemy would have thought they had faked surrender. And Tang long did not say to attack the enemy, just said to scare a joke, the enemy should not be angry.

Without waiting for them to send a letter asking how to frighten, Tang long stood up and pointed to the jump point showing the enemy ship and ordered: "all warships obey orders, each warship is responsible for two jump points, and torpedo coordinates are set according to the jump points. Each jump point sets two different types of torpedoes. Report to the flagship when you are ready and launch on my command. " Having said this, Tang long's cold face immediately turned into a happy smile: "Oh, rest assured, the worst destroyer on the other side can withstand the attack of two torpedoes."

Of course, we all know how harmful the two torpedoes are to the destroyer, so we also think that what Tang long said was a joke to scare the enemy. If this is not the case, then all the torpedoes should be gathered to attack several jump points, so that it is possible to destroy the enemy ship. So everyone easily started setting coordinates for the torpedo, and now they just wait to scare the enemy, and then raise their hands to surrender.

The people on the battleship of Tang long were not as relaxed as others, because when they saw Tang long say the last words, they showed a smile that made them feel evil. Although it doesn't feel right, can't say what's wrong. They knew that even if the destroyer stopped there and closed the shield, two torpedoes could destroy him. However, when jumping, the shield will open automatically, ah, besides, it is the fighting stage, and the ene will not turn off the shield after the jump is completed. But why is the officer smiling so viciously? It's like hiding some kind of conspiracy under a smile.

"Hey, Sergeant Liu Sihao, who has just been promoted to sergeant, what are you doing staying? Why don't you go and set the torpedo coordinates? " Tang long squinted at Liu Sihao with a smile. Liu Sihao shuddered unbelievably when he saw Tang long's appearance, and hurriedly saluted and ran back to his post.

Tang long ignored Xing Zi in his ear and kept asking him what he wanted to do. instead, he kept that smile, looked at Chen Yi and said, "Oh, Private Chen Yi, can you contact China?"

Chen Yi shook her head hurriedly and said, "report, sir, the domestic line seems to have been cut off and cannot be contacted."

"Hmm? Cut off? " Tang long's faked face immediately disappeared and changed into an air of surprise. It would be reasonable if the signal was cut off in a fierce battle, but the general and the lieutenant colonel had communicated with him just now, and the enemy had not yet arrived, so it was impossible to say that the signal was controlled by the enemy. Then there is only one result.

Tang long thought that the chill in his heart was getting thicker and thicker, then he shook his throat and asked Xing Zero, "Sister, do you know why you can't connect to China?" Could it be. "

Xing Zero first gave a cold hum, and she was dissatisfied that Tang long did not leave her just now. However, after she finished humming, she still told Tang long what she had just known: "that's right, just like you thought." It is the country that has cut off contact with you. Just now the military Council has decided to put the battlefield on Fukexing, and you have been regarded as abandoned pawn who confused the enemy. "

"." Tang long froze, according to this meaning, that is to say, the fleet of skeletons, which would have come for support, would not come either. Tang long angrily jumped his feet and scolded, "Damn it, it's unexpectedly overcast. Do you dare not to tell the truth for fear that we will escape and disrupt the deployment?" Tang long's expression made everyone look at him blankly. I don't know what went wrong with this officer. However, Liu Sihao, who had already set the coordinates, was shocked when he heard Tang long's words, and there was a look of helplessness and despair in his eyes. It seems that he understood the meaning of Tang long's words.

Tang long, who was originally cursing, suddenly patted his head and sighed and said to himself, "Alas, it is impossible to give up some people in order to win. You can't blame them all."

But when Star Zero heard this, he told Tang long a shocking news: "Tang long, I have always wondered how the Federation could build such a self-propelled gunboat." Even if this kind of thing is cheap and good, it doesn't have any effect on the federal combat strength at all, so I'm curious to check it out. As we were too far from the center, we didn't get the news until the signal was cut off. That is, the gunboat was discontinued after only 10,000 were produced, and the federation bought the gunboat at the price of 200 million each, that is to say, the self-propelled gunboat was bought at the price of the A-class patrol boat. "

Everyone saw that Tang long suddenly stopped swearing, opened his mouth in shock, stared at the bulkhead blankly. Although we do not know why Tang long looks like this, but in the past, Tang long often showed a variety of strange behavior, so we did not take it to heart. Liu Sihao may be the only one who pays attention to Tang long.

"buy this kind of self-propelled gun at the price of a patrol boat. How could the government do such a bad deal? " Tang long shook his throat with difficulty.

In a tone of disdain, Xing said: "it is the country that loses. This is a typical collusion between government and business. the cost of this kind of self-propelled gunboat is only 20 million, and the manufacturer and the officials in charge can be saved to death."

Although Tang long had heard of these dark scenes before, he did not expect to stay in the dark curtain products. Tang long has no time to get angry now. he is concerned about the situation of the battleship, so he hurriedly asked, "Sister, this battleship is not a bad product, is it?" I've heard that all the products made in this situation are shoddy. I don't want to die at the hands of my own people. "

Xing Zero smiled and said, "Don't worry, this battleship of yours is still a qualified product. Maybe the unscrupulous businessman earns too much. I'm sorry to deduct 20 million of the cost." Tang long breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He forgot to ask if the other warships were equally qualified. But even if asked, Xing Zero could not answer. She inspected the warship Tang long and found that there was no problem, so she did not waste time to inspect the rest of the warship.

Erhua, who had been monitoring the radar, shouted to Tang long: "Sir, there is an energy fluctuation in the jump point, and the enemy ship is about to appear."

Tang long immediately regained his cold face, pressed the button to face the screen and said, "all battleships torpedo hands ready!" Hearing this, Liu Sihao also hurriedly stopped his mind, quickly determined the coordinates set by the torpedo, and sat there waiting for Tang long's launch order.

At this time, Xing Zero said with dissatisfaction, "well, I answer every question to you, but how do you treat me?" You haven't answered me since I asked you what you were going to do with these torpedoes. "

Tang long showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. He shook his throat and said, "Oh, Sister, some things will be tasteless when you say them." For example, if you are told in advance when you watch a movie, you can no longer watch that movie, so enjoy it slowly. " When Xing Zero heard this, she curled her lips and was silent. Although she could use the computer to calculate the result of what Tang long did, as Tang long said, things lost the sense of expectation.

Tang long saw the target of his battleship torpedo, a dark space that was enlarged on the screen, and began to wiggle strangely. Hurriedly raised his hand and shouted: "one directional burst torpedo in each coordinate, set the torpedo to self-explode as soon as it reaches the predetermined coordinates, and the firing speed of the torpedo is set to 5." Prepare. "

Tang long's words spread all over the warship, the two torpedo hands of the warship, immediately choose the torpedo and set it. Since the coordinates of the four torpedoes had been set a long time ago, the work was done just by pressing a few buttons. There are two types of torpedoes on self-propelled gunboats. One is directional burst torpedo, the other is penetrating burst torpedo, each equipped with two.

A directional burst torpedo is used to explode inside an enemy ship or at a designated location, resulting in a scorching sun that kills or destroys the crew and electronic equipment inside the enemy ship. Of course, for a sealed battleship, its power is very low. So if you want to achieve the desired effect, you need the help of a penetrating burst torpedo. Because the penetrating torpedo is specially used to penetrate the hard body of the enemy ship, as long as it is hit, it can definitely blow a big hole in the hull. In other words, in general, in combat, penetrating torpedoes are used to blow up the hull of the ship, and then directional torpedoes are used to destroy the interior of the warship. Federal soldiers, who understand this very well, of course think that this is a joke with the enemy.

Genna, an adjutant watching the computer, nodded to Tang long, saying that all the warships were ready. When Tang long saw this, he asked Erhua, "how long will it take for the enemy ship to complete the jump?"

Erhua looked at the radar and said nervously, "there are still 20 seconds left."

When Tang long heard this, his hand stopped in the air for a few seconds, then suddenly waved down and shouted, "launch!"

With the order of Tang long, each warship fired two fast-moving torpedoes at the same time, and the more than 2,000 torpedoes flew to the space where the enemy had not yet appeared.

Only a few seconds after the torpedo hand left the launch button, Tang long's second command came: "one penetrating burst torpedo per coordinate with a torpedo firing speed of 3." Prepare. "

When the torpedo hand heard this command, he pressed a button very easily and sent a ready signal to the flagship. Because now there are only two penetrating torpedoes left, and they do not specify where they exploded, but just choose the firing speed, which is much simpler than the order just now.

With Tang long's order, the more than 2,000 torpedoes chased his brothers. Of course, because of their slow firing speed, they were left far behind by the brothers who went out first.

Seeing that all the torpedoes had been fired, Tang long ordered again: "all warships follow orders and begin to fill the main gun energy. The firing coordinates are s34x234z12y45!" The main gunners, who had nothing to do, were stupefied at this, but soon carried out the order excitedly. As they knew early on that they were going to surrender, they were very relaxed and had no psychological burden. In addition, they have not really used the main gun yet, so full of interest began to fill the main gun energy and set the coordinates, ready to put this may be the only shot of their military career.

Although the captains of the ships did not know what to do with filling the main guns, they did not think much about it. Anyway, they had nothing to do now and just waited quietly for surrender. Besides, I don't know where the coordinates are, so I don't make my subordinates think they are incompetent.

At this time, more than 2,000 directional burst torpedoes have reached their coordinates and began to carry out the set self-destruct procedure. No sound can be heard inside the battleship, only thousands of bright flowers can be seen on the screen. The federal officers and soldiers who saw this could not help whistling and shouting happily, but the next scene froze them.

As can be seen on the screen, there are thousands of warships in the fire, which just jumped out at the same time as the torpedo exploded. These battleships did not imagine the appearance and movement of marching teams immediately intact, but stopped there and allowed the flames to surround them. what is even more strange is that the hulls of these warships kept the distortion that occurred when the jump had just been completed.

It can be seen that these warships have been distorted in space and have not yet recovered. But this is impossible. This problem was solved a long time ago. Is it that the Imperial warships suck, or is it because of the fires?

While the federal officers and soldiers were in a daze at the strange sight, the second round of penetrating torpedoes finally caught up with the brothers. They were not programmed to self-destruct, so they got into the battleship in front of them. And they are set to start the process of exploding as soon as they break through the armor. So those bright flowers become brighter and bigger.

Some clever captains already understood what Tang long wanted to do, and hurriedly opened their mouths and wanted to shout. However, they were still a step behind, because Tang long's order reached everyone when the penetrating torpedo drilled into the enemy ship: "main gun fired!"

The fast captain just shouted out no words, while the slow one opened his mouth blankly. The main gunner with a holographic helmet pressed the launch button conditionally when he heard the launch order. As a result, more than a thousand channels of huge energy shoot at a given coordinate at the speed of light.

Seeing this scene, everyone knows where the coordinates are. The energy emitted by these more than 1,000 main guns is all concentrated in the central area of the enemy fleet. Although these energies are scattered, they have condensed into a huge stream of energy as they approach, because they are destined for the same place.

When this energy arrived at its destination, the federal soldiers in the self-propelled gunboat only saw that the screen suddenly became so bright that they could not keep their eyes open. But fortunately, the computer will automatically reduce the brightness of the incoming light, otherwise everyone will be blind.

The light soon disappeared, and the federal soldiers could only be described as dumbfounded when they saw the screen. At that jumping point, of the 2,000 enemy ships that had just jumped out and had not yet exerted their strength, there was no object that could be called a battleship. The safe passage, which had no foreign objects and had been cleaned very cleanly, had been refloating with countless wreckage of the warship, and it could be said that the passageway was blocked.
