The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 294: Boarding War in the Starship Era
As the most important energy supply area under the Earth Federal Government, the importance of the "Twelve Energy Galaxies" naturally needs no elaboration.

Although Marshal Meru did not send the main force of the federal government army to garrison.

However, the various monopoly military-industrial tycoons whose interests were deeply bound to the Interstellar Marshal sent their own private armies that they had built at all costs.

Apart from the unexpected number of starship forces, the number and quality of ground forces are almost on par with the main forces of the federal government army.

Even after receiving the news that the "Twelve Energy Star Systems" were under attack from the [Anti-Armament Ban United Front Alliance], Marshal Meru Interstellar did not immediately send the main federal forces to provide support.

Because the core force within the [Anti-Armament Ban United Front Alliance], the elite troops of the Slade Galaxy that could truly threaten the Earth Federation Government, were not dispatched.

A qualified politician, strategist, and battlefield commander needs to have enough determination to support himself in making strategic judgments.

Marshal Meru was certain that as long as he concentrated his superior military forces, he could wipe out the elite troops of the Slade Galaxy cleanly and efficiently.

Then the entire powerful [Anti-Armament Ban United Front Alliance] will collapse without a fight.

This will also be an opportunity for the Earth Federation Government to win this civil war at the lowest cost.

Coincidentally, the coalition government behind the Thraide galaxy thinks the same way.

This contest, which tested the endurance and determination of the commanders of both sides, finally changed when the news came out that the private army of the chaebols in the "Twelve Energy Star Systems" had suffered a major defeat.

Marshal Meru never imagined that these military and industrial monopoly tycoons would be so unreliable.

The Thraide Galaxy has not yet truly deployed their elite combat forces, including the Redemption Army, and a series of "metal can" troops that can be called battlefield bulldozers have not yet appeared.

As a result, their allies, the private armies of the military-industrial tycoons who monopolized the military, were defeated.

"Do these guys even want to take kickbacks from their own private army?"

After the federal government's military orders were handed over to these monopoly military-industrial chaebols, each military-industrial chaebol became very wealthy.

Now that the time has come to demonstrate their value, they start to fall short.

Marshal Meru couldn't help but wonder whether these monopoly military-industrial tycoons, who were accustomed to corruption in national defense orders, were using this trick on their own private armies.

If this is true, then these guys are rotten to the core.

However, if these military and industrial monopoly tycoons heard the words of Marshal Meru, they would definitely feel aggrieved.

God have mercy on them, how much resources they have wasted in forming their own private army.

The officers of private armies are either recruited from the active main forces of the federal government army at high prices and with high treatment.

They are either various interstellar mercenary groups, bounty hunting groups, or even high-quality military talents pried from those well-known interstellar pirate groups.

The equipment is also the highest quality and most reliable among the mass-produced military equipment in the federal government, even surpassing the official main force.

After all, even the weapons and equipment of the federal government’s army were provided by these monopoly military-industrial tycoons.

Of course, the equipment for your private army cannot be worse than that of others.

In terms of the source of soldiers, they are also the elites selected from hundreds of thousands of colonized galaxies.

The wealthy and powerful monopoly military-industrial tycoons believe that any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Every member of the private army, whether officer or soldier, is treated much better than the main force of the federal government.

You know, those soldiers in the main force are all citizens of the federal government.

With such generous treatment, it is no wonder that the natives of the selected colonized galaxies are so devoted and loyal to the monopoly tycoons.

But even so, the battle of the "Twelve Energy Galaxies" was still unsatisfactory.

Although the information currently available from various channels shows that the "Twelve Star Systems" have not yet been completely captured by the [Anti-Armament Ban United Front Alliance].

However, the joint command of the monopoly military-industrial tycoons has begun to frequently ask for help from the rear.

The loss of the “Twelve Energy Galaxies” now seems to be only a matter of time.

This completely disrupted the deployment of Marshal Meru.

Representatives of the monopoly military-industrial chaebols claimed that the defeat in the "Energy Twelve Star Systems" battle was not due to ground forces.

It is caused by the lack of starship forces.

Less than a day after the war began, the outer space of most of the defense zones in the twelve galaxies was lost.

Even the air supremacy within the atmosphere was affected and was gradually seized by the enemy.

Without air supremacy in the atmosphere and outer space, even if the private armies of the monopoly chaebols fight bravely, they can only be pinned to the ground and beaten.

His words and deeds were meant to excuse his own private army, and he even blamed the federal government's starship force for the lack of support.

Marshal Meru did not argue with the representatives of the military-industrial monopoly chaebols about whose fault it was.

There is no point in saying this now.

She couldn't imagine what a horrible public opinion storm would erupt when the people of the federal government learned that the "Twelve Energy Star Systems" had been captured by the "rebels."

Support rates plummeted, federal citizens took to the streets to protest, federal lawmakers questioned and impeached...

These terrible consequences lingered in her mind like a nightmare.

The most urgent task is to evaluate the possibility of successful rescue of the "Energy Twelve Star Systems" as soon as possible.

"Your Excellency Marshal, if we decide to carry out a rescue, we must act as soon as possible!

There are still many troops resisting in the twelve galaxies.

If we delay any further, the rebels will have to wait until they have completely wiped out the resistance forces on the twelve galaxy planets.

By then we will have truly lost the Twelve Star Systems!"

Marshal Meru naturally knew that indecision was a taboo on the battlefield.

Before the main force of the Slade galaxy was dispatched, the federal government's elite troops were mobilized first.

This is already a strategic loss.

However, under the persuasion of the top brass of the federal government's Psychological Strategy Force, it was finally decided to send support.

And prepare to send out all the elite troops, except for the basic defense forces, all the main elite troops, go straight to the "Twelve Energy Star Systems".

First, cleanly and efficiently eliminate the enemies of the "Twelve Energy Galaxy", and then rush to the Slade Galaxy to eliminate the most threatening forces in the civil war.

After deciding on the combat strategy, Marshal Meru finally stopped wasting time on internal conflicts.

In the core area of ​​the Earth Federal Government, thousands of starships and an army of hundreds of millions, including the chaebols supporting Marshal Meru and the elite private armies of their families, began to gather.

The mobilization of star port materials in the core area of ​​the federal government, the changes in public opinion, the appointment of senior military officers in various war zones, etc., were of course noticed by Gust, who was lurking in the core area.

Although the federal government has strictly blocked all information related to interstellar battleships and the movements of various troops.

However, such a large-scale military operation revealed clues about the mobilization of materials, the statements of the official media of the federal government, and the power of the relevant chaebols and families.

After analysis by the artificial intelligence MOSS, it quickly determined that the federal government forces would take major actions.

As for who the target is, there are only three possibilities.

The "Twelve Energy Star Systems", Montana Star System, Slade Star System. Montana Star System is the least likely, because its strategic value is almost zero.

Regardless of the attention it gets, it's just an ordinary local colony system.

Even if the federal government took it, it would not change the situation of the Civil War.

What's more, with the support of the [Anti-Armament Ban United Front Alliance], the Montana galaxy is now armed like a hedgehog.

Sending the main force of the federal government there is totally unnecessary hardship.

The possibility of attacking the Thraide galaxy is much higher.

After all, everyone knows that without the Thraide Galaxy, this civil war would not have been possible.

A direct attack on the Thraide galaxy would break the tacit balance between the federal government and the Thraide galaxy of "not directly attacking each other."

Moreover, the combat power of the Slade galaxy is recognized as the strongest among the local colonial galaxy forces.

In comparison, the probability of the "Twelve Energy Galaxies" is much greater.

Energy can be considered the lifeblood of the federal government, and Marshal Meru will never sit idly by and watch the loss of control over the "Twelve Energy Galaxies".

Moreover, the troops attacking the "Energy Twelve Star Systems" were relatively scattered, and there were no elite troops like the Redemption Army, making it easier to win.

The analysis and judgment given by the artificial intelligence MOSS is only used as a reference by the United Nations Military Command.

The command is also making a series of deployments to respond.

On the other side, the front line of the "Twelve Energy Galaxies".

After the Heavy Guard Division eliminated the enemy in the "Planetary Strategic Center" and completely controlled it.

The resistance of the private armies of the plutocrats all over the surface of the planet has become futile.

However, just as the Heavy Armored Vanguard was preparing to make a concerted effort to completely eliminate these scattered resistance forces and completely occupy the planet.

The vanguard's actions were stopped by the headquarters.

"It will take my troops at most 12 hours to completely liberate this planet!"

"What? Slow down the offensive?"

"Sir! Our Heavy Guard Division promises to give us another ten...six hours!
We must wipe out all the enemies!"

……

After putting down the communicator, Lieutenant General Raymond, the highest commander of the Heavy Guard Division, was in a trance.

No matter how he assured his superiors, even compressing the time limit to eliminate the enemy to the limit of 6 hours, the headquarters still refused to give in.

Insist that they slow down the offensive and cooperate with the coalition's strategic deployment.

Lieutenant General Raymond would certainly not disobey the decision of the command. He just regretted not eliminating the enemies on the entire planet as soon as possible.

It is known that the Heavy Vanguard Division, as the second-line force of the main force of the United Government Army, was not easy to be dispatched to fight in the first batch.

What is even more commendable is that their progress is not inferior to that of the main front-line forces.

If all enemy forces on the planet are eliminated within the next 6 hours.

By then, the Heavy Armored Vanguard Division will be the most outstanding ground force in the "Energy Twelve Star Systems" battle.

The coalition government places the greatest emphasis on military merit, and within the coalition government forces, military achievements and honors are considered more precious than life.

If the Heavy Armored Vanguard Division wanted to stand out from the other second-tier main forces and be promoted to the first-tier main force, the "Twelve Energy Star Systems" battle would have been an excellent opportunity.

But now, it's too late.

At the same time, almost all the main forces of the coalition government received orders to suspend the offensive.

Except for a few powerful ace troops, they wiped out the private armies of the chaebols on the planets they were attacking in advance.

At the request of the Supreme Command, other coalition forces artificially began to enter a "stalemate confrontation mode" with the private armies of the chaebols on their planets.

The front-line troops don’t have so many things to consider; what they pursue is battle record, honor, and crushing all enemies on the battlefield.

But the High Command is not content with just dealing with the enemies in the Energy Twelve Galaxies.

The main force of the federal government army is the real target of the command.

An "Energy Twelve Galaxies" that still has rescue value and possibility is a qualified strategic bait.

The coalition government has prepared corresponding action plans for all possible actions of the federal government forces.

It was not until two days later that energy fluctuations of space jumps frequently appeared in the space space of the "Twelve Energy Galaxies".

After the appearance of thousands of interstellar battleships, interstellar transport ships several times the size, and massive space landing ships.

The Allied Command, which had been on alert and monitoring, finally waited for the main force of the enemy to be captured.

A large number of elite troops of the United Government who had been hiding around the "Twelve Energy Star Systems" and had never participated in the battle finally received clear orders.

Target the main force of the federal government's starship force and launch an attack.

The United Government Command calculated that the enemy would support the "Twelve Energy Star Systems", but no one expected that Marshal Meru would be so desperate.

The Earth Federation Government's massive "anti-insect and rebellion" army is even larger than the expeditionary force during the "Human-Insect War".

Obviously, in the eyes of Marshal Meru, the threat posed by the rebels far exceeds that of the Arazi Zerg.

Faced with a starship force that far outnumbered its own, the Allied Command could only order a battle and ask for help from the rear.

There are still tens of millions of our main forces in the "Twelve Energy Star Systems", and it is too late to retreat.

The space fleet of the United Government Army is responsible for supporting operations in various Allied galaxies and defending the Thraide galaxy.

Only more than 200 main battleships were deployed in the "Twelve Energy Star Systems".

In terms of numbers, they were completely crushed by the Earth Federation's "suppression forces".

At the beginning of the war, thousands of Federation starship forces encircled and suppressed the United Government's space battleship fleet.

"Our only advantage is the energy shield on the space battleship!

Turn on the energy shield at full power!
Get close to where the enemy fleets are concentrated and send in space army soldiers to conduct boarding battles!"

Retreat is absolutely impossible.

Once the United Government's space battleship fleet chooses to evacuate, without air support, the tens of millions of United Government troops in the "Twelve Energy Star Systems" will suffer a devastating disaster.

Faced with such a difficult combat environment and such a huge disparity in the number of warships, the commander of the space battleship fleet's mind was racing to an almost "red temperature" state.

Then he proposed an action plan that shocked everyone.

Engage in original ship boarding maneuvers in interstellar age Starship Force combat.

Maximize the role of the strongest force of the United Government Army: the Interstellar Legion.
