Tang long's warship, under the command of the warship group, slowly drove forward and lined up behind the warship group. At this time, Tang long and they all came to stay when they saw the image displayed on the screen. Tang Longcai sighed for a long time and said: "this is the famous death zone for a long time." The crowd was silent when they heard this, but looked silently at the occasional wreckage of the warship and the galaxy like the Milky way in the distance.

The Milky way in the distance is called the Kesla galaxy, which is the forefront of the Silver Eagle Empire's connection with the Union of Romanies. The nearly 20-light-year void between the federal bone dragon cloud galaxy and the Kesla galaxy is the so-called death zone. The name was obtained in the previous wars between the Union and the Silver Eagle Empire, in which the two countries have sunk nearly a million warships of various classes for a long time, and the number of human beings who have become cosmic dust has reached tens of billions of people. Of course, this figure is not particularly surprising for the nearly 10 trillion people of the two countries.

As the battleships had not yet arrived, Tang long and they had to stay bored inside the battleships in a daze. I do not know how long, Tang long, who had stayed on the edge of the warship group, was also wrapped up by the warship and became the central part of the warship group. At this time, with the sound of screen B, the head portrait of the trainer, Linasha, appeared, and all the people were busy standing at attention and saluting. And Tang long pricked up his ears, because the presence of Linasha represented the arrival of all the warships.

Linasha only returned a gift casually. Now it is impossible for her to know whether the soldiers on the battleship have responded or not. this newsletter is only released unilaterally and cannot see the appearance of the crew of these 10,000 warships. There is no way. It is impossible for the base screen to display 10,000 screen images. Even if it can be displayed, the viewer will feel that the image is too small.

Her cold voice came from the loudspeaker: "now our first actual combat training is carried out in this so-called death zone." As we all know, this area is full of wreckage of warships, and there are even some energy clusters that are so dense that they have not disappeared due to the explosion of warships. So when you are training, you should pay attention to avoid these Levitate objects in the universe. In that case, every 1000 ships are divided into 10 groups for mixed combat, and the captain of the first ship of each group is the commander of the group. "

When Linasha said this, ten sets of long numbers appeared on the screen, and Tang long hurriedly shouted, "come on!" See if I'm the commander! "

Adjutant Genna said without even looking at the screen: "Sir, our number is 512, belongs to the first group, you can not become a team commander."

Chen Yi, a liaison officer, said: "the commander of the No. 1 battleship sent a message asking us to move to S23X12Z34Y45 for a group rendezvous."

"what?! The order from the base has just been issued, and that guy sent the order so quickly? Did he know he was the commander of the team a long time ago? " Tang long shouted in surprise.

The pilot Mary did not wait for Tang long's order at all, just entered the position, started the battleship and began to get closer. She is so direct because the base has ordered the No. 1 ship to be the team's flagship, and in accordance with the usual practice, the execution of the order is given priority to that issued by the flagship. Of course, it is also because she knows that although Tang long is arrogant, he will still obey orders.

Now Mary is ready to hear Tang long say the order to set out in a feeble tone. Mary has learned that if Tang long is disappointed, she will immediately become powerless. Sure enough, Tang long waved weakly, slumped on the chair and opened his mouth as if to say the two words.

But Mary was disappointed, because Tang long, as if suddenly remembering something, jumped up and shouted in panic: "Shield activated!" Radar full power scan! The battleship sank rapidly! "

Everyone was stupefied, but still conditioned to carry out Tang long's orders, the battleship sank rapidly and the protective shield was activated, which made the people on the warship that began to move around a little strange to look at the warship Tang long. The battleship under Tang long, however, dodged hurriedly, of course, while scolding his mother at the same time.

After shouting out the above orders, Tang long immediately shouted to Chen Yi, "put on all the channels and tell them that the enemy is coming!" Chen Yi just pressed a few buttons, and when he heard the last sentence, he could not help but stop and look up at Tang long in surprise.

When the people on the ship heard this, they all stopped and looked at Tang long unbelievably. Seeing Tang long's serious face, Liu Sihao hesitated for a moment before asking Erhua, the radar officer, "Erhua, what have you found?"

Erhua, staring closely at the radar, shook his head suspiciously and said, "there is nothing. There is no sign of any enemy within 10 million light miles nearby." Walking at the speed of light for a second as a light, in space war, this is the basic unit of distance measurement.

And Chen Yi said with dissatisfaction: "Sir, falsely reporting military information is going to be court-martialed." When Erhua said that there was no enemy, Mary also stopped controlling the sinking of the battleship. Everyone looked at Tang long and waited for him to explain.

Tang long ignored everyone's eyes and shouted to Erhua: "stupid!" Use the light radar system! " Then he shouted to Chen Yi, "come on!" Tell them to open the shields! That's an order! "

Hearing Tang long's anxious tone, Erhua was stupefied for a moment, but immediately converted the metal thermal energy detection radar system into a light energy detection radar system. On the other hand, Chen Yi did not immediately carry out Tang long's orders, and she had to wait for Erhua to see if she could find anything. She and Tang long have been in contact with each other for several months, and there has been a gap between them. Now that gap has only disappeared for a few days, the heart still does not trust Tang long, will not unconditionally carry out Tang long's orders.

People who were watching Erhua suddenly noticed that Erhua's face had turned deathly gray and shouted, "Cold energy laser light!" Everyone was surprised to find that the star light from the Kesla galaxy suddenly became brighter and brighter on the screen, and the ship's alarm system began to whine. It's not the light from the stars, it's laser light!

As we all know, cold energy laser light belongs to a kind of nuclear energy gun. As the name implies, it is a kind of strange energy that does not emit heat, and the object hit by this laser will break down into particles silently. Metal thermal radar is useless except that it can be detected by light radar.

Tang Longcai just shouted: "Defense!" The screen of the battleship was filled with white light. Then the hull shook violently, and the computer system equipped by the battleship immediately said in an emotionless voice: "the power of the shield has dropped to 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%." With the violent vibration of the hull, this number became less and less, and when the warship stopped shaking, the power of the shield was only 20%.

Although this scene has passed only a few seconds, it feels like it has lasted for decades. After getting up in shock, everyone hurriedly began to detect the damage to the battleship. It was only then that Chen Yi, who was filled with remorse, began to contact other warships. However, when everyone was busy, they secretly looked at Tang long standing on the command level, and they could not understand why Tang long could know in advance.

Tang long gently pressed his ear, and his ear was stuffed with miniature earplugs, which Xing Zero forced him to wear in order to talk to him directly at any time, because the holographic helmet could not be worn all day. Just now, Xing Zero informed him that the enemy had fired cold radium. Although Xing Zero could be displayed directly on the screen, she didn't want others to know her existence. After all, the computer systems on these warships are unlikely to be powerful enough to detect laser light emitted dozens of minutes ago from tens of millions of miles of light. As far as she is concerned, it is enough for Tang long to survive, and she doesn't bother to care about the life or death of others.

Of course, Star Zero knows that as long as the shield is turned on, it is impossible for the laser light that has begun to weaken through thousands of light to break the shield of the self-propelled gunboat. Therefore, after opening the shield, easily appreciated the change of Tang long's expression.

"report, sir, the systems of the main guns, secondary guns and torpedo launchers are intact and intact." Serga, the repairman, shouted with delight after checking the data. He did not expect that after the warship was hit so hard, the weapon system was intact.

"report, sir, the power of the shield has dropped to 20%, the energy converter is damaged, and the main energy support cannot be used." Repairman Lan Venter said with an ugly face. Hearing this, the faces of the people, who were also full of joy, immediately turned pale. 100% of the shields, this self-propelled gunboat can withstand a C-class destroyer's main gun fire without destruction, but now this 20% of the shield may not even be able to withstand a single volley of A-class patrol boats.

Tang long did not pay attention to this, waved and said: "try to repair the converter, Chen Yi immediately informed the base, we were attacked by the enemy, and told the location." Mary is ready to let the warship jump out of the area, Erhua controls the radar to find out the location of the enemy, Liu Sihao immediately counts the number of enemy warships, and Genna settles our damage! The rest of the personnel are on alert! " Through the computer to record the number of energy beams just now, compared with the enemy warship data, it is easy to calculate the number of enemy warships, which is a necessary knowledge for soldiers.

"Yes, sir!" Lanventer and Serga immediately jumped out of their seats, got into the repair aisle and began to try to fix the energy converter. Everyone else immediately carried out Tang long's orders, and now they have no doubt about Tang long's orders. Although they still do not understand why Tang long can foresee the occurrence of these things, of course, they also know that now is not the time to ask, and they can only keep it in mind for the time being.

Tang long pressed a piece of paper with the color of skin affixed to the Adam's apple and whispered with the vibration of the Adam's apple: "Sister, how can the enemy use cold radium? did they know we were gathering here a long time ago?" Generally speaking, cold laser guns can only be equipped with warships above cruisers, and of course they will not be equipped with many doors, because cold radium light consumes a lot of energy, and warships equipped with such nuclear guns can only fire their own energy twice. If they are all of this kind of cannons, they will be disarmed after firing.

The sound of Xing Zero came into Tang long's ear, of course, no one could hear it except Tang long: "the target of the enemy is not you. They use cold radium to light in order to eliminate the wreckage of the warship floating in the universe, that is to say, they are sweeping the passage."

Tang long earthquake, the wreckage of the warships in this dead zone can effectively stop the speed of the warships, because they can't jump at all. If there is the wreckage of the warship where the jump appears, the jumping warship will merge with the wreckage, that is, a strangely shaped warship that will explode 100%. Although the battleship's function is to jump directly over the dead zone, which is only 20 light-years old, there is no defense line on the federal border that connects the dead zone. Otherwise, blocked by the defense line, these warships jumping from the Empire will all appear in the death zone and merge with the wreckage of the warship.

This means that the enemy is prepared to quietly open a passage and then attack quickly, because this is the only way to immediately appear on the defense line of the federal border. The defense lines along the border between the two countries are set on the periphery of the death zone, and if the death zone is included in the defense line, their warships are likely to jump directly into the death zone, resulting in unnecessary sacrifice.

Tang long immediately ordered Erhua: "carry out a three-dimensional scan of the direction of the enemy's laser, and I want the image there!" When Erhua obeyed, Genna said bitterly, "report, sir, there is only one battleship left." There are only more than 1000. " Hearing this, everyone stopped their work and watched blankly as it was packed with warships, but now it was empty all around. In just a few seconds, there were only more than 1000 of the tens of thousands of warships left.

At this time, from a distance in the universe, we can see that there is a big hole in the group of battleships in which Tang long's self-propelled gunboats are located. It can be said that only the battleships that have just begun to move and are on the periphery of the big hole. Tang long is the only battleship within the scope of the big hole, and all the others have become cosmic dust.

Because the shields are very energy-consuming, they are usually closed except during fierce battles, which is why these defenseless warships disappear so completely. Seeing this, Chen Yi, who was contacting the base, could not help biting her lips out of blood. She was blaming herself. If she did not hesitate to carry out Tang long's orders, even if not many people paid attention to them, there would always be a few warships that would open their shields and escape a bullet.

Liu Sihao, who had already counted the other side, saw what Chen Yi looked like, came to her side, patted her on the shoulder, gave her an encouraging look, and only after seeing Chen Yi nodding knowingly, did he report to Tang Longhui: "Sir, through calculation, this laser light is the result of two shots of 10,000 cruisers or 3,000 battleships."

"10,000 cruisers! 3,000 battleships! " Tang long was surprised. Although he knew for a long time that the enemy must have used a large group of warships to produce such a huge laser beam, he did not expect that it was such a terrible group of warships. According to the information we know, such forces of the enemy can be compared with all the military forces of the Gulongyun galaxy. Is the enemy ready to attack in an all-round way?

At this point, Chen Yi shouted, "Sir, the base is asking for a call." With the appearance of Linasha on the screen, she was no longer cold, but with an unconcealed look of shock.

Linasha even forgot the salute in the face of Tang long. She said eagerly, "Tang long, have we been attacked by the enemy?" How is our loss? How many enemies are there? " As Tang long was the first to contact Linasha, although Linasha received contact requests from other warships, she still had a dialogue with Tang long first.

Tang long nodded heavily and said, "Yes, at the rendezvous point, we were exposed to cold radium light from the enemy in advance, and we lost 90% of our warships. Through the beam check, only 10,000 cruisers or 3,000 battleships can emit such a powerful laser light. It is impossible for the enemy to take these two types of warships alone, or at least two enhanced fleet groups according to convention. "

When Linasha heard these terrible numbers, she immediately changed color and shouted, "evacuate as soon as possible.". " But she had just said this, and it was forcibly split in half on the screen, with an image of Linasha on one side and a cold and dignified middle-aged soldier on the new side.

The middle-aged soldier had three shining gold stars on his shoulder, and before Tang long realized it, the general saluted and said in a cold voice, "I am the commander of the Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy Group Army, General Gu'ao." The news from you has been received by our group army headquarters, and the group army has also begun to mobilize. However, it takes four hours for the main fleet of the group army to arrive at the death zone, and it takes an hour for the fleet to arrive. In my capacity as commander-in-chief of the Galaxy of the Gu Longyun Group Army, I ordered that I should be promoted to the first rank of all officers and men from the gunboat. I hope that all your brave soldiers will try their best to prevent the enemy fleet from reaching the defense line and buy the necessary time for our army. It only takes an hour to support it, and the Star Fleet will be able to arrive! "

"the liaison officers of other warships must have notified the military region, which in turn notified the group army headquarters. This general eavesdropped on your conversation with the lieutenant colonel, otherwise he wouldn't have been so well-informed and picked the right time to cut in. " Star Zero to Tang long murmured, of course, Tang long only listens to him now.

All the people were stunned when they heard this. Except for Tang long and others, who knew the details of the enemy, the officers and men of the remaining warships cheered loudly because they had been promoted.

"Please wait, Sir Admiral, 1000 self-propelled gunboats simply cannot withstand such a large fleet! Moreover, they are still in training and have no combat experience at all. Please let them retreat! " Linasha shouted to the general with excitement on her face.

At this time, there was a starry remark in Tang long's ear: "the contact between the general and the lieutenant colonel, except for our warship, the other warships can only see the image of the admiral." Ah, the Admiral turned off the function of him and the lieutenant colonel to transmit sound to other warships, and it seems that what they said later did not want others to hear. "

Tang long saw the Admiral's hand, and then only saw his mouth move, but did not make a sound. He shook his throat and said, "Sister, can you just let our battleship hear what the admiral and the lieutenant colonel are saying?" Tang long knows some things, the less people know, the better, but his curiosity wants to know very much, so he says so. He would do this because he thought that if anything happened, his subordinates could bear it with him.

"Oh, of course. I'm curious, too." With the sound of stars falling, the trumpet of the Tang long battleship heard a conversation between the Admiral and the lieutenant colonel.

The Admiral said coldly to Linasha, "Colonel, your training mission has been completed, and now I take command of the self-propelled gunboat."

Linasha said with a look of surprise, "it's impossible. Isn't there more than ten days left?"

The general continued to say coldly, "this is an order just issued by the Marshal. Colonel, your task has been completed. according to the agreement, you will return to the fighter brigade of the group army as commander. Please start as soon as possible, because war is coming."

With a look of disbelief, Linasha murmured to herself, "it's impossible. How could he have given such an order in the first place!"

The Admiral frowned when he heard this, and he said with dissatisfaction, "this is because I applied to his Excellency Marshal at the first time, so his Excellency Marshal was able to give the correct order at the first time." All right, follow orders. I believe you are a standard soldier. " When he finished saying this, his shoulder moved again, and under the explanation of Star Zero, Tang long knew that the Admiral had restored the voice transmission between him and the warships.

With a chilling glow in his eyes, the Admiral said quietly, "Gentlemen, this is a battle about the rise and fall of our country. I hope you will give full play to the noble style of the Union soldiers and firmly intercept the enemy." As long as you hold on to the arrival of reinforcements, the glory and status will belong to you. But. "

When the Admiral spoke of this deliberate pause, the cold light in his eyes brightened and his voice became cold: "if anyone dares to escape, no matter who can kill this retreating immediately, if someone protects such a cowardly soldier, the court-martial will impose severe penalties on the defender!" Well, I hope you fight bravely, and the glory of victory is with you! " With that, his image disappeared.

At this time, Linasha looked at Tang long with a look of pain. For a long time, Linasha said, "I'm sorry, please take care." And then turned off the communication.

Linasha stared blankly at the dark screen, while Qina looked at her worriedly and dared not say a word. They knew that the officers and soldiers who walked on the gunboat would only be wiped out. Has his own hard work during this period of time only sent hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers to a battlefield where there is no chance of victory? Why did this happen? Knowing that the self-propelled gunboat could not intercept the enemy's offensive at all, that is, it could not even stop it for a minute, why did the military still issue such an order?

They had too many questions at this time, such as why the rendezvous point of the battleship was attacked by the enemy's laser light in advance. Did you leak the news of the rendezvous point? No way, this rendezvous point is only temporary and random. Is it really a purely accidental accident? In any case, the lofty image of the person in Linasha's heart began to crack during her time as a self-propelled ship gun, but now it completely collapsed when she was informed of the order.

For a long time, Linasha said in a trembling voice, "come on, let's go back to our own battlefield." Qina understood the officer's mood very well and could only nod bitterly.

When the crowd stared blankly at the empty screen, Tang long, the first to react, scratched his head and muttered, "how can you hear what that general said, just like on TV, what imperial generals used to encourage soldiers to die?"

At this time, everyone who woke up began to do his own thing, and they all knew that relying on 1000 self-propelled gunboats to intercept two reinforced fleets with more than 10,000 cruisers was tantamount to a fight between an unarmed baby and two heavily armed men. Everyone knows what the result will be.

At this time, Mary brought a message that made everyone look gray: "Sir, the jump system has been destroyed and the ship can only use normal navigation functions." This means that even if you are willing to run away from the punishment of a military court, you can only fly out of the area slowly, not directly. Even flying at the speed of light takes dozens of hours to get back to the federation.

Lavant, who came out of the maintenance aisle with a gray face, said even worse: "Sir, the energy converter is completely damaged, and the current parts cannot be repaired at all." People's cool hearts are getting colder, which shows that the battleship can only face two reinforced fleets with shields of 20% power. simply put, everyone has to turn into cosmic dust as long as they are hit by one shot.

At this time, in the conference room of Star Zero Base, the remote federal capital, a federal military and political summit was taking place. Since this is the safest place in the Union, senior officials like to hold meetings here.

The people present here are all senior officials from both the military and political sides. The atmosphere here is very heavy, and everyone is looking at the map of the galaxy in front of them. At the junction of the Union and the Empire, there are several blue lights on the federal side, while the Empire side is a red spot the size of a glass bead, but it is huge compared to the blue spot. Seeing these, the civil servants could not help taking out their handkerchiefs and wiping their foreheads without sweat.

Namha, the federal president sitting in the first seat, asked Olmster with a sullen face, "how is the mobilization of the troops in the bone dragon cloud galaxy?"

Olmster pressed a button on the table in front of him, and then on the galaxy map, it was scattered near the blue light, but it could be seen that the yellow light was slowly gathering and said, "it will take four hours to get to the border." but the fleet stationed in the Muko military region of the defense line will be there in less than an hour. "

Namha frowned and pointed to the blue dots and said, "can these 1,000 self-propelled gunboats stop the Imperial army for an hour?" Now that he wants to eat the Imperial Army and is about to hold a presidential election, he is looking for this time to start a war. And regardless of the final outcome of this battle, depending on the current situation, it is doomed to be attacked by the enemy into the border. Even if the enemy can be wiped out at that time, the fact that he has been invaded by the enemy has become a stain on his reign, which is a great disadvantage to himself who is preparing to run for re-election.

Olmster shook his head and said, "it's like asking a few ants to stop the progress of two big rats, even with the fleet on guard, it's impossible to stop them." After all, they are two enhanced fleets, so our combat deployment is near Fukexing. " With a few more buttons pressed, the final rendezvous of those yellow bright spots appeared on the map, and you can see that a yellow bright spot, which used to represent the Fukos fleet near the blue point, moved backward and stopped at a long distance from the blue point.

"well, those self-propelled gunboats are used to confuse the enemy and make them think that reinforcements are coming, because no one will use such a weak force to intercept the army. With such an idea, they will certainly gather teams slowly after destroying the self-propelled gunboat, so as to buy us some time. " Namha was not a fool, and he soon learned why he had to use a self-propelled gunboat to intercept the enemy's two huge fleets.

But he was still worried and asked, "is that all the fleets that take part in the decisive battle?" He now knew that he could not stop the enemy from entering federal territory, so he had to pray that he could stop the enemy at the military base at the forefront. There are few citizens on the planet, and the army will soon order the army to move a very small number of citizens inland immediately, so that they can rely on the capital of no civilian casualties to win votes.

Olmster nodded and said: "orders have been issued to the galaxies to allow all aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers and other high-level warships of the Federal Army to go to Fuko, which will take two days." As long as the army of the bone dragon cloud galaxy can support us for two days, the victory must belong to us. At that time, it will be able to win and counter-attack on a large scale, and it is even possible to occupy the Kesla galaxy. Compared with our strong combat effectiveness of the whole Union, the 100000 warships in the Kesla system are simply not enough to see. "

Hearing Olmster's frivolous words, Chen Yu's eyebrows jumped, and his eyes shone suspiciously, but soon disappeared, pretending to listen attentively to Olmster's words.

Olmster pressed the button again, and countless yellow dots appeared in the federal territory on the chart. These yellow dots gathered to Fukexing and became yellow dots as big as heads. The big yellow dot slowly began to move forward, as if two red dots the size of glass beads were immediately swallowed up by the yellow dot, and then the yellow dot moved to the Kesla galaxy and stopped.

Seeing this, Namha's eyes began to shine, and he felt that his throne was more secure. He and Yan smiled at Olmster and said, "Thank you, Marshal. I hope that Marshal will make great contributions to the Union." Olmster nodded hurriedly to show that he would. But Olmster sneered at himself, knowing that he, who had been caught slaughtering civilians, was a dangerous and useful tool in the eyes of these officials.

Namha, who let go of this aspect, began to shift his mind to other aspects. He looked at Chen Yu, the minister of national security on the civilian side, and said in a cold voice, "Minister Chen, what does your intelligence department eat? you don't even know that the enemy has begun to attack!" If it hadn't been for the self-propelled gunboat training there, we wouldn't have known what would have happened to the enemy under the city. Moreover, without the information obtained by the soldiers who gloriously sacrificed their lives on the gunboats, it would be impossible for us to know the detailed number of enemy warships, let alone work out a counterattack plan immediately. What explanation do you have for all this? "

Chen Yu stood up hurriedly, while taking out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, she bowed her head and said in a panic: "I beg your pardon, Madam President. In fact, not long ago, the lower officials reported to you that the Empire had stationed two fleets in Kesla Xin. At that time, intelligence agents reported that there was something unusual in the imperial capital, and after analysis, it was judged that the princes were fighting for power. Therefore, the lower officials and the military headquarters all think that they have strengthened their border forces in order to prevent our country from taking the opportunity to invade. So we put the wreckage on the alert just in case, but there has been no movement from the enemy in the past few months, and our side has slackened, and the lower officials have apologized to the President for their carelessness. "

Namha felt comfortable when he saw Chen Yu's pathetic appearance. "forget it this time," he nodded. "remember not to relax in the future, but to strengthen the intelligence collection of the empire."

Chen Yu hurriedly flattered: "Yes, the lower officials must follow the teachings of his Excellency the President, never relax, and strive to collect intelligence from the Empire." Namha, who nodded with satisfaction, did not see the smile of Chen Yu, who bowed his head, in the corner of his mouth.
