Walk alone in the abyss

"A tripartite military meeting is now in progress."

In the virtual conference room, behind a triangular conference table, the coaches of the three parties showed their figures.

Naturally, Yang Ming appeared on the side of Luofeng, Dota Modo appeared on the side of the Guell Alliance, and the representative of the United States of Freedom was their Minister of Defense.

Behind the three people, there were dozens of people sitting or standing far and near. These people included their respective heads of government and generals commanding the front lines. They were all synchronously integrated into the virtual conference room by using Luofeng's advanced network technology.

A simulated sand table appeared on the conference table.

The sandbox is divided into two areas.

The area to the left of Yang Ming represents the three-party coalition forces. The Luofeng Alliance's 11,000 warships are in the middle of the defense line, the Free United States' 7,000 warships are on the left side of the defense line, and the Güell Alliance's 9,700 ships are in the middle of the defense line. The battleship is on the right side of the line of defense.

There are eleven fuzzy red dots behind Luofeng, which are eleven self-propelled planetary cannons.

There are two larger spaceships in the battle formation of the United States of Freedom, and there are three specially marked giant ships in the battle formation of the Guell Alliance, which are the dreadnought ships of their respective families.

Compared with the previous two battles of Sherlock, the current military force and the ships dispatched by the Sherman Empire to this airspace are considered to be "never fought such a rich battle", but the three parties are still not very optimistic.

First, they are not a unified system and have not undergone joint exercises before.

Fortunately, in space battles, it is mainly relying on ship-to-ship shooting and firepower suppression. The three parties keep a certain distance from each other. After inputting identification marks for each ship in advance, there will be no accidental damage. It is difficult to concentrate superior firepower. , It is even more unnecessary to think about synchronous coordination.

It is impossible for the three companies to hand over control of their warships to the other party.

Second, the Sherman Empire is gathering large armies.

Although the New Federation is now indeed launching a full-scale offensive against the expeditionary force of the Sherman Empire, the federalists of the chicken thief are still thundering and raining, and the military department of the Sherman Empire has brought back most of the expeditionary force's reserve team. .

In the first two collisions, the Sherman Empire nobles and private troops suffered heavy casualties, but the Sherman Empire was still in the hands of the domestic nobles and squeezed out a new batch of ships.

The fleet of the Sherman Empire, which invaded other dependent countries before, has now completely withdrawn, and they all converge on the border of the Luofeng Alliance.

Now, the Imperial Army has clenched its fists, apparently wanting to fight a war to destroy the Luofeng Alliance and re-establish the military hegemony of the Sherman Empire.

Losing foreign military hegemony, the Sherman Empire will fall into a greater crisis. Although it is still far away from subjugation, this is an important reason why the Sherman family cannot compromise and retreat.

Now the main ships of the Sherman Empire gathered on this line (package firepower ships, supply ships, support ships, industrial ships, etc., generally refer to ships over 300 meters or 500 meters, and the standards of each regime are different) , the number has exceeded 24,000.

Almost all the forces that the Sherman Empire can mobilize are concentrated in the two directions of Luofeng and the New Federation.

Third, the Levy Fleet was activated.

The entire meeting room is filled with gray tone.

Everyone is under tremendous pressure.

The invincible ships of the Sherman Empire, the Levi Fleet, which can defeat the swarm of worms head-on, will appear in front of them.

Dodama let out a few dry coughs, frowned and said:

"Everyone must have heard the relevant information. The Levi Fleet is dispatched, and almost all the Levi Fleet distributed around the Emperor Star are dispatched.

"According to the information we have, there are at least 36,200 semi-permanent battleships of the Levi Fleet, rushing towards us... This number has seriously exceeded the limit we can bear. This is The most powerful military force in the empire.

"To eliminate this Levi fleet, we need at least 50,000 of the most advanced warships from various countries..."

The Secretary of Defense of the United States of Freedom sighed, and said in a low voice: "The information we have is almost the same. The semi-permanent fleet is a reflection of the historical heritage of the Sherman Empire."

Yang Ming also had a heavy expression on his face, and asked, "Do the two countries mean to just give up?"

Dodama was a little hesitant to speak.

All his voices at this moment represent the group of people behind him and all the citizens of the Guell Union.

Although they had already made a certain resolution internally, Dotama looked at Yang Ming, as if he saw the back figure in gray-white exoskeleton armor slowly appearing behind Yang Ming.

white ghost.

The defense minister of the United States of Freedom said: "Looking at the current situation, the three of us can't defeat the Sherman Empire even if we unite. Please don't ignore the opponent's conventional military strength, as well as the opponent's huge mecha and jumpable star cannon. "

A deep female voice came from behind the chief of defense: "The planetary cannons of the Luofeng Alliance can indeed pose a huge threat to them, but they may still be powerless against the Levi Fleet."

Dodama stood up to be the "compromise" person.

He whispered: "At this stage, it is indeed the best time for the freedom and democracy camp to counterattack the imperial camp, but there is one problem... the situation is already critical, I think we don't have to beat around the bush, just directly Let’s talk about your thoughts.”

Yang Ming's expression became more serious.

He said: "Our opinion is that even if it is the last boat, we must resolutely fight this life-and-death battle. Our Luofeng Alliance is an alliance-like regime composed of dozens of small regimes. We are united To be together is to live with dignity, to enable our people to have a better life and a better future, to defend our rights, and to protect social and personal wealth."

The Secretary of Defense of the Free United States said sternly:

"We fully respect all the interests of your country, which is also an important reason why we will be here to support your country.

"But now, we must face reality, Commander Yang Ming, now we must do two things, first, change the form of war, and second, how to give our domestic people a more sufficient reason to protect the Luofeng Alliance. "

Dodama put his hands on the table, although he didn't speak, he also stared at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Change the form of war? I don't quite understand."

"We are going to confront the Levi Fleet head-on. There is not much chance of winning. Even if we can reach a deeper cooperation, it will be difficult to confront the Levi Fleet head-on."

The Secretary of Defense of the United States of Freedom said quickly:

"I think you should also have information about the Levy Fleet. There are no soldiers in these ships. This is a terrible fact that no one dares to expose.

"How can we defeat such a fleet?

"Even if we have old-fashioned battleships that have been sealed up, our soldiers need training. It is impossible to pull a group of ordinary people onto the ship, and they will be able to complete the control of the ship.

"But based on the exact information we have received, I can directly state... Levi's Fleet can. When necessary, Levi's Fleet will capture the Empire's regular fleet and assimilate into them."

Yang Ming leaned back slightly.

Dodama said: "I can confirm this information. I actually want to ask now... When the Luofeng Alliance made a plan to counterattack the Empire, did they fully consider how to face the Levi Fleet?"

Yang Ming didn't answer, but just lowered his head in thought.

The senior executives of the Luofeng Alliance behind him had an extremely complicated expression.

The Secretary of Defense of the United States of Liberty said: "The so-called change in the form of war means that we need to trade depth for combat power to protect our current strength and ensure our courage in the final decisive battle with the Sherman Empire."

Yang Ming still did not speak.

But someone behind him couldn't bear it anymore.

Emilia got up from the sofa, walked behind Yang Ming, and appeared on the edge of the sand table.

She said coldly: "What does your country mean, to let us give up this war and make our fleet an exile fleet?"

"This is just an idea," the Secretary of Defense of the United States of Liberty said quickly, "If we can confront the Sherman Empire head-on, that would be great, and forgive me for being too direct, if we send more reinforcements, the battlefield command It should belong to both of us."

Dodama suddenly said: "The battlefield command is actually not very important."

Emilia said blankly:

"Then I can understand that.

"Your country is coercing us strategically. If you want to get more support from your country to fight against the Sherman Empire, you must obey your country's command and meet the conditions proposed by your country?"

"Your country is at a disadvantage."

The Secretary of Defense of the Liberal United States no longer concealed:

"We are not taking advantage of the fire, but we must have a sufficient reason that can convince the people, let us mobilize almost all of our combat power to protect the Luofeng Alliance, which is not directly related to our Free United States, and we must ensure that, We have full and superior command."

Emilia asked: "Aside from these things, what is the reason why your country wants it? Our self-propelled planetary guns and drone groups?"

"That's only part of it."

"Is there any difference between the actions of your country and the Sherman Empire?"

"We are in the camp of freedom and democracy," the Secretary of Defense of the United States of Liberty said seriously, "Miss Emilia, interstellar politics does not allow any idealism, we must consider the interests of our own political system."

Emilia wasn't angry, she was just thinking.

She is the leader of the Luofeng Alliance, emotional output has no effect, she must find a way...

Yang Ming's voice suddenly sounded:

"If you don't want to fight, just get out."

The expressions of the surrounding crowd were a little dull, and Emilia also looked at Yang Ming with some astonishment.

At this juncture, even if the United States of Freedom is indeed too much, but for the Luofeng Alliance, this combat power should be...

Yang Ming said calmly:

"In the first battle before, your country's support was slow. In the second battle, your country has been wandering on the edge. Why, is it fighting guerrilla frontally? Your so-called support, in addition to letting us see It sounds scary, what's the use? At least, the Güell Alliance is really participating in the war, how about you? Are you doing a political show?"

"Commander Yang Ming!"

"Shut up, I'm the one speaking now."

Yang Ming's expression seemed to be eating people:

"Think I've insulted you?

"How do you behave yourself, and you still blame me for insulting you?

"The Luofeng Alliance has a deep alliance and cooperation with the Guell Alliance. This is my judgment after evaluating the overall strength of the Sherman Empire.

"Since you want to be the big brothers of the free camp, then take some responsibility for the big brothers.

"Until now, none of your core elite fleets have moved, and the fleet coalition forces of dozens of regimes you control are hiding far away. They have completed their assembly, right?

"You really want to fight this battle with the empire, and you want to take advantage of the weakness of the empire to overthrow this mountain that is already weighing on your heads, right?

"Each country has its own different national conditions. Watching the Empire's three expeditions to the New Federation, you have a very obvious panic in the United States of America. If you want to stabilize the economy and continue to develop yourself, you must fight against the Empire. pressure.

"Eighty percent of the reason you are here is because you need to rely on this battlefield, not because we are begging you to come here to protect us.

"If the Luofeng Alliance hadn't won the first battle, you would be here? The ships you support must be running as fast as they are!

"It was I who gave you the opportunity to reduce your own damage to fight against the Sherman Empire. You didn't give me the opportunity. Wouldn't it be good for everyone to cooperate on an equal footing?"

"In this case!"

The Defense Minister of the Free United States stood up, frowning and staring at Yang Ming:

"I think we should each calm down for a few minutes!"

"Oh!" Tatsumoto immediately wanted to be a peacemaker, "The current situation is hard-won, we shouldn't mess around here!"

He turned to leave, but after walking a few steps, he found that...he couldn't exit the virtual conference room.

Yang Ming squinted and smiled. He leaned back in the seat, folded his long legs on the table, and whistled leisurely.

This is extremely inconsistent with diplomatic protocol;

But Boss Yang felt that this action could make him feel happy, so he did it.

"Everyone, don't panic," Yang Ming said indifferently, "I just want to show you something so that you can fully understand the situation and position yourself in the next discussion."

After saying that, a remote control appeared in Yang Ming's hand, he pressed it facing the front, and the sand table immediately turned into a holographic image.

In the quiet starry sky, one after another, the pitch-black ships have just completed the transition and quickly maneuvered towards the next transition location.

These ships have an extremely obvious Sherman Empire warship style, multi-angular, multi-up and down stepped structures, and all energy sources can serve the main gun firepower.

They are sailing quietly, there is almost no radiation to the outside world, and the ripples in the space are very subtle.

Levy Fleet!

There are only a few hundred ships here, but the sense of oppression created by these ships is almost suffocating.

Many people in the meeting room have already stood up, and the high-level officials from the three regimes are all watching this scene.

While most people are feeling the oppression of the Levi Fleet, a small number of people have already reacted.

"You took pictures of the Levi Fleet?"

"Aren't they often elusive? Their ship stealth technology is claimed to be several generations ahead of ours."

A beam of light suddenly blooms in the picture.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of thousands of light beams suddenly appeared in this dark starry sky. The light beams converged from three directions, destroying dozens of Levi's fleets on the edge in a short time.

Silver and white long oval battleships appeared on the edge of the screen.

They have a silver-gray painting, have naval guns that are not inferior to the main guns of the Levi Fleet, and have synchronization and coordination that is almost equal to that of the Levi Fleet!

The warships of the Levy Fleet immediately began to counterattack;

The ships that appeared around them took the initiative to maneuver around.

Not long after, the two fleets entered the famous "helix of fierce battle". The two fleets kept within the maximum firing range of the main guns of both sides and carried out continuous circular maneuvers. If you look down from the top, the two fleets look like a Tai Chi pattern .

The loss rate of the ships on both sides is also almost the same. Because the silver-gray battleship has strengthened the energy supply of its own shield, the loss is slightly less than that of the Levi fleet.

Yang Ming took out a coordinate, and the Guell League and the United States of Freedom immediately began to verify it.

More than ten minutes later, the remnants of the Levy Fleet in the screen began to retreat, and the mysterious fleet began to pursue. Even the reinforcements from the Levi Fleet ahead did not mean to retreat, but chased the Levi Fleet poorly. Chasing and fighting fiercely, wanting to continue to expand the results of the battle.

In fact, these ships will rush directly into the opponent's encirclement later, pulling more ships of the Levi Fleet to die together.

"Have these ships appeared before!"

"White Ghost's Parents Kidnapped Case!"

"The ships that were active during the bug swarm...they look very advanced."

"alright."

Yang Ming pressed the remote control, with a slightly awkward smile on the corner of his mouth:

"My boss asked me to tell everyone that the Levi Fleet has its own enemies. We only need to conduct conventional military operations and moderately support the enemies of the Levi Fleet to establish their greater advantage, that's all.

"In this war against the empire, if we lose the wind, can we establish the main force and the dominant position?

"Guys, I think you didn't fully understand what I said before. We were able to rise because the Fayas chose us. Do you really think that we dare to fight them head-on without even knowing the bottom line of the Sherman Empire?

"If the United States of Freedom wants to participate in this war, then show your sincerity, and if you want the title of anti-imperial hero, then show the benefits you can.

"I still say the same thing, our cooperation between Luofeng and Guell Alliance is in-depth, because there is a new federation to contain the Sherman Empire, then the two of us are enough.

"Actually, it's okay for you to leave. I think there is a high probability that your president will have an extra note in the empty drawer on the right hand side of his desk before you leave.

"Temporarily adjourn the meeting, and resume the meeting in ten minutes."
