Hidden Yao Era

At this time, Lieutenant General Walker spoke: "I don't think so, I think Admiral Lee's guess is reasonable. The purpose of their coming here is to attack Mars, and there is no need to take the two satellite cities first. And if they take Mars directly, we will be completely passive. "

Admiral Li Miaowu began to explain the reasonableness of his speculation: "Moreover, they have the conditions to take the initiative to attack. And we were trapped by the disadvantage of the fleet, and we did not dare to go out to meet the enemy with all our main forces. Add to that the previous rebellion, and we're pretty much scared. Even if I had asked for a large-scale offensive campaign, the arbitration committee might not have agreed. "

"I ask you, if the Pluto rover were to attack Mars right now with the full force of their fleets right under our noses. Do we dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy? If they directly transport that terrifying army to Mars, will our 4 million troops on Mars be able to stop it?"

"According to reliable information, the elite troops of the Xinyin Sect, all the elites of the Shenyin Sect except for the Golden Legion, and the newly formed Tianyin Sect's new army are all here. Their army is much stronger than ours, and this time they have a huge numerical advantage, how can we hold Mars?".

"Our fleet still has a qualitative superiority, and I still think that they will not dare to forcibly capture Mars. Chief of General Staff Zhang still insisted on his opinion.

Lieutenant General Walker said: "But the Pluto rovers are not such sane people, and they have fewer crazy moves, not to mention that they now have an advantage, so they will naturally make some bold attempts in strategy." Isn't it bold enough for them to attack Mars directly this time? They are already so crazy strategically, and I think it's very likely that they will continue to attack Mars like crazy. "

Colonel Li continued: "I agree with Vice Admiral Walker's analysis, so I don't think our mobile fleet can be divided into small groups for harassment. We must use a large formation to attract the attention of the enemy, so that they do not dare to land on Mars without impunity under our noses. "

"And our super capital ships must be used flexibly, almost all of our ST59 battlecruisers have been lost or defected, but the remaining CV3000 class aircraft carriers, FSV830 support ships, Stop-Battle-class battleships and Eternal Storm class battlecruisers have high maneuverability, which is a huge advantage for us. "

"Although there are many super capital ships on the enemy's side, they are centered on CV3000-class aircraft carriers and Indomitable-class and ST59-class battlecruisers that have not been strengthened by engines, which causes their super-capital fleet to move slowly. We must take advantage of this and try to disconnect their fleets from the offensive and destroy their fleets in batches. "

Chief of Staff Zhang was still stubborn and said: "Once the light mobile fleet of the large formation is entangled by the enemy, the consequences are unimaginable, and the loss of destroyers and frigates will be very fast. We can't afford to lose too much now. So I'd still recommend a conservative approach. "

Seeing that Chief of Staff Zhang still adhered to a conservative strategy, Admiral Li changed his words: "I am not saying that we should take the initiative to attack, but that we should fully reconnoiter the movements of the opposing fleet. Respond quickly after receiving information about the enemy, so that the other side feels that they are being targeted at all times, so that they do not dare to act rashly. "

"Well, I couldn't agree more. "Chief of Staff Zhang finally made a partial compromise.

In the end, the military council decided to organize two-thirds of the destroyers and frigates in the fleet into a mobile fleet, and at the same time support the mobile fleet with all the Io-class cruisers in the fleet as the main ships. They will be ready to obey orders, and as soon as there is movement in the place, they will go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Casto volunteered to join the fleet, having spotted the Hearttone logo on some of the landing ships during his last campaign. He hoped that he could capture as many enemy landing ships as possible during the campaign, and he thought that maybe Sonia would be in the landing ship he had captured so he could save her.

After the formation of the mobile fleet, a total of more than 20,000 light combat ships were organized into five detachments. Castor was assigned to the Third Operations Group, which consisted of 300 Io-class cruisers, 800 destroyers of various types, 500 destroyers of various types of Ceres, 600 destroyers of the AC721 type, and more than 2,000 frigates of various types.

They will be on standby at any time, and when the enemy has the intention to attack, they will immediately enter combat mode and quickly go out of the city to meet the enemy.

A day passed, and Casto did not receive any orders for battle, nor did they have any intelligence about the enemy's attack.

They didn't dare to sleep, so they had to eat stimulants, drink coffee and nutritional supplements one by one to maintain their energy.

The day after the Mobile Fleet was formed, Casto suddenly received an order: "The Pluto Rover is on the move!

According to intelligence, the Pluto rover sent a fleet of nearly 10,000 warships directly to attack Deimos and Deimos. Castor was nervous, he didn't know if Sonia was involved in the operation, his mind wrestling with anxiety and anticipation.

Soon the mobile fleet went out of the city to meet the enemy, and more than 20,000 warships spread out in a line on the side of Huowei, like an eagle spreading its wings. They soon began to accelerate, ready to meet the enemy.

It didn't take long for them to encounter enemy forces 60 Jimi away. The enemy army seemed to be very strong, with nearly 20,000 warships neatly arranged in the night sky. They did not flinch in the slightest from the battle of the mobile fleet, and rushed in the direction of the mobile fleet.

Some of the Cold-class missile destroyers in the enemy's middle platoon rushed forward with extraordinary valor, and together with the enemy's Scorching-class assault ships and a small number of Erson destroyers, they launched a charge against Castor's fleet. They rushed too hard, and they opened up a great distance from the fleet in the rear.

Casto was a little blinded by this inexplicable attack, and he found that the number of these warships was small, less than 5,000. Castor hurriedly ordered the gunners to bombard a number of Rinkling-class destroyers. He knew that the anti-ship missiles of these destroyers were extremely lethal to small ships, so it was imperative to eliminate them.

The more than 5,000 enemy warships suddenly flew into the sky shortly after the engagement. They drove directly to the mobile fleet with full propulsion, and then chose to retreat. Confused from the battle to the end of the battle, Castor felt unreasonable as the enemy fleet attacked and retreated again.

Subsequently, the mobile fleet armed with firefighters surrounded the remaining enemy fleet. It was only then that Casto discovered that these warships were mainly landing ships, and most of them were sprayed with the emblem of the Heart-Tone School. At this time, he suddenly understood that these poor Xinyin factions had been sold by his own people.

He hurriedly answered the voice of the fleet commander and suggested to him: "Sir, we have surrounded the enemy fleet, but at the moment this enemy fleet does not seem to have any intention of attacking us. It seems that the Celestial Voices Sect fleet has just launched the attack, and what we are now surrounding seems to be a landing fleet carrying the Hearts Tone Faction Army. "

"I suggest that we persuade these heart-to-heart forces to surrender. Combined with the absurd offensive choices of the Tianyin faction just now, the fleet we are currently surrounding has probably been betrayed by our own political enemies. Wouldn't it be better for us to persuade them to surrender as propaganda and to avoid the loss of our fleet?" Castor said.

"Well, Lieutenant Colonel Casto's suggestion makes a lot of sense. Okay, let's send a surrender statement to this enemy fleet. The fleet commander, Vice Admiral James Allen, then asked the civilian staff to draw up a letter of persuasion.

The letter of surrender was then sent to the enemy fleet in the form of fleet broadcasts and documents. The fleet also conveyed its intention to surrender through the flag.

Twenty-five minutes later, the enemy fleet sent a video application. A middle-aged senior officer said in the video: "Fellow firefighters, I am Lieutenant General Vasilyev, commander of the 5th Army of the Pluto Rover's 3rd Army Group, and we ...... Abandoned by our compatriots. I accept your persuasion to surrender, but I have one condition, you must guarantee the human rights and beliefs of our captives, and guarantee our safety. "

When the video ended, almost all the members of the Casto ship were cheering. At this time, the fleet commander also happily reported the good news to the Phobos headquarters. But at this time, the headquarters of Phobos told them a terrifying news: "The fleet of Pluto rovers has suddenly appeared on the far side of Mars, and they have begun to land on a large scale!".
