Galactic Almighty Evolution Chapter 2192: The midway star of the decisive battle
Although Qian Feng has developed a very slow offensive strategy, the Borg people are still pushing forward with their powerful fleet.
In the first year and seven months of the Borg’s invasion of the Interstellar Federation again, the Borg’s fleet has reached the midway star, which is the midway point from the earth to the death mark, and is also an important interstellar space of the Interstellar Federation. hub.
Although the Interstellar Federation has always adopted the strategy of shrinking defenses and trading space for time in the early stage, the strategic significance of Midway Star is too great. It is not only the largest interstellar supply station of the Interstellar Federation, but also around it. Surrounded by seven moon-like satellites, these satellites have all been built into military fortresses by the Interstellar Federation. Under the guard of these seven satellites, Midway Star is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.
So, as the deputy marshal of the Interstellar Federation, Lu Chen, who replaced Qin Hao in charge of the Interstellar Federation, decided to defend the midway star with a heavy force, rubbing the Borg's spirit here.
For the Battle of Midway Star, Lu Chen directly dispatched more than 90% of the Interstellar Federation fleet, and more than 30,000 conventional warships were assembled near the gravity well of Midway Star. This is almost all the military power of the Interstellar Federation.
After more than a year of recovery, the Star Federation’s shipbuilding factories are operating almost day and night, and the entire Star Federation’s economy is pouring into the military, and a large number of civilian factories have just been requisitioned after they have just been restored from military management to civilian equipment production. , The industrial capabilities of the entire Interstellar Federation were all mobilized, and in just over a year, they quickly recovered a lot of vitality.
However, the time is still too short after all, so most of the more than 30,000 warships manufactured by the Star Federation are long-range assault fleets composed of Javelin-class guided missile frigates and Kenrak Raider guided missile frigates, like conventional fleets. There are not many heavy cruisers that exist as the main force. After all, the construction of such large ships is very time-consuming and very resource-intensive.
So at this time, although the number of warships in the Interstellar Federation is not too small, the real combat effectiveness is completely incomparable to that before the war.
Moreover, compared with the Borgs, the Star Federation and the Borgs are the most inferior in terms of battleships. You must know that the Borgs have obtained two hundred ancient battleships directly from the Destroyer, plus they fled back before. The local fleet has almost preserved most of its strength, so the number of battleships exceeds 400.
Looking at the Star Federation side, they originally had not many capital ships, only a hundred in total. After the last decisive battle with Battle Star, the number of remaining capital ships of the Star Federation was only more than fifty, and Borg It's simply incomparable on the human side.
Although in terms of peak combat power, both the Star Federation and the Borg have two Titans, the huge gap in the battleship level has completely affected the balance of war. If not for the Midway Star, the Star Federation has seven military fortresses. Lu Chen’s armed satellites help out, I am afraid that Lu Chen would not dare to fight the Boge in advance.
To be honest, the best way for the Borg people at this time is to bypass the midway star, and then continue to move forward. Whether they hit the earth or continue to expand, the Interstellar Federation fleet will not be able to keep trapping the midway star. , After all, once the route is cut off, although Midway Star is the largest supply station of the Interstellar Federation, it cannot withstand the consumption of more than 30,000 warships, and once the Interstellar Federation warships leave Midway Star, the Borg’s fleet can be at any time Kill a carbine, and then use the advantage of your capital ship to defeat or even wipe out the fleet of the Interstellar Federation.
But the highest commander of the Borg is Qian Feng. How could he push the Star Federation to a dead end? So he insisted on attacking the midway star. Although this battle will cause huge casualties on both sides, if you don't do this, I am afraid that it will not be a year before the Borg fleet will hit the earth!
Because of the Destroyer’s supervising army, Qian Feng didn’t dare to go too far. If he bypassed the Midway Star, he would directly have a huge advantage. It would be difficult to release water secretly at that time, so Although knowing that this battle will make humans suffer unimaginable losses and make the people of the Interstellar Federation hate themselves even more, Qian Feng must do so.
When the Borg's fleet reached the gravity well of the planet closest to the Midway Star, the Interstellar Federation fleet was already in the midway star array.
"If you jump over directly, I am afraid that the enemy will ambush. Let's use a conventional engine to drive over." Qian Feng said to the officers in front of him. There is nothing wrong with his suggestion. After all, the enemy is also very large. And they are all ready for battle. If the fleet is allowed to jump over at this time, it will simply be a live target for the enemy.
"The Chief Master said so!"
"I agree with the adults!"
……
Qian Feng’s senior officers are themselves flattering parties, and there is no problem with what he said, so this order was conveyed quickly, except that Midway Star is far away from the surrounding planets. Although the planet Qian Feng and the others are stationed on is the closest to the midway star, it is also separated by more than 800 astronomical units. If the fleet is to fly past at sub-light speed with conventional engines, it will take at least five or six days. time.
However, for the interstellar war, five or six days of interstellar voyages are also commonplace, so everyone, including the cloak man, did not feel any surprises.
It's just that as the Borg fleet was moving forward, their every move was discovered by the Zerg scattered in the universe, and the news was passed on to the Midway Star.
"At the end of the season, General Love, according to the latest information, the enemy will arrive in four days!" Inside the Star Federation flagship, the Titan of Immortal Glory, in the Midway Star Gravity Well, an officer is going to Ji Mallov reported.
Before, Hu Ke had to retire from the army because of Qin Hao’s backing. Although he was well placed, he has gone to the best sanatorium on the planet to take care of his life, and his son has also been promoted. General, and the size of the fleet has also been expanded, but after all, he suffered a serious command error, which resulted in the destruction of hundreds of warships and the death of millions of soldiers. Therefore, it is definitely impossible to return to the fleet to command the battle. Up.
After Hu Ke left, the highest commander of the fleet could not be vacant, so Lu Chen specially enlisted the retired General Ji Mo Luofu and promoted him to the Federation General, making this eldest loyal and good at fighting The old general of the defensive battle came to command the midway star defensive battle.
