Chapter 1404: The Ace of the First Fleet
Since the day they were announced, the orbital elevator and solar power generation system have been regarded by the human world as a historical miracle that would require at least 150 years and the continuous investment of several generations to complete.
With this understanding, the East Asian Republic, Orb and many member states of the Solar Energy Construction Alliance will invest all their budgets, resources and manpower, except for maintaining the necessary national defense forces, into this miracle project.
Therefore, even though it has the resources of the entire Solar Energy Construction Alliance as support, the East Asian Republic Fleet, which is responsible for protecting orbital elevators, solar power generation systems and the defense of many member countries, and is the future alliance fleet, does not receive much budget.
After several years of development and advancement, although the fleets of the East Asian Republic have not achieved a breakthrough in quantity, they have gained a lot of recognition in terms of quality.
After the new battleships and various types of MS in the Iron Man series are put into service, the First, Second, and Third Fleets will be sufficient to deal with most situations.
However, this does not mean that the East Asian Republic, or even the entire Solar Energy Construction Alliance, can produce and manufacture a huge fleet within a few years that is comparable to the strongest fleet composed of thousands of warships of various models created by the Earth Federation led by the Atlantic Federation with all its efforts.
"What the hell is going on? Impossible? Impossible!!!"
Rod Jibril stared at the main screen where warships kept appearing from the shadow of Junius 7.
It is obvious that the East Asian Republic and many other alliance member countries such as Orb have invested most of their resources and manpower into the construction of orbital elevators and solar power generation systems, and there is not much spare capacity to build more battleships and more MS.
But why did so many East Asian warships suddenly appear at this moment when the East Asian First Fleet was about to be destroyed by the Earth Federation's strongest fleet led by him, Rod Jibril? !
This is absolutely impossible!!!
Rod Jibril turned his head sharply and stared at the lieutenant general with his eyes that were gradually turning red.
"Lieutenant General Thres! You should understand what I am thinking now!"
Lieutenant General Ceres was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"I understand! Lord Jibril! Now is the time for us to fulfill our ideal."
Vice Admiral Ceres stood up and waved his hand towards the East Asia First Fleet that was being surrounded by them.
"The Sixth, Thirteenth, and Sixtieth Fleets will maintain their original plan and continue to encircle the East Asia First Fleet. The remaining fleets will turn immediately and do their best to resist attacks from the rear to buy time for the main fleet."
"Yes!"
Vice Admiral Ceres knew very well that Rod Jibril urgently needed to use the fact that he had annihilated the First Fleet of East Asia to cheer for the realization of his ideal.
Again, he did not reject the idea; in fact, he agreed with it very much.
The strength of the unknown fleet that suddenly appeared from behind Junius 7, which was suspected to be a backup force deployed by East Asia, was unknown, and it was not suitable for the entire fleet to turn around and resist the opponent's attack immediately.
The only way to ensure a steady and secure progress is to destroy the East Asian First Fleet as quickly as possible, and then gather all forces to engage in a decisive battle with this unknown fleet!
"Commander! The Earth Federation Fleet's movements have changed. The encirclement seems to have become a little sparse."
On the bridge of the First Fleet, the Great Serenity, the first mate's eyes showed a hint of surprise and he spoke quickly.
"Yes. This must be the result of the backup plan arranged by our legendary general."
Liu Hai let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and gradually a smile appeared on his face.
"Although I don't know whether it is an illusion or something real, the thousand warships that suddenly appeared behind Junius 7 are indeed very intimidating."
"No, Commander Liu. Those are real warships. It's just that their existence is rather special."
Lacus Klein smiled slightly and said meaningfully.
"Oh? Really? Well, let's wait and see!" Liu Hai looked at the first mate and said in a deep voice.
"The enemy's idea is probably to rely on three to five squadrons to continue to encircle and annihilate our fleet. The remaining fleet will be transferred back to the enemy's main camp to engage in battle with the fleet deployed by General He. Old Deng, our chance has come."
The first mate, known as Lao Deng, smiled confidently.
"Yes, Commander. If the enemy had gone all out to encircle and annihilate our First Fleet, perhaps this day next year would be our death anniversary! But, do you think you can devour our First Fleet with just three to five squadrons? That's too arrogant!"
Old Deng's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Commander, I'm asking for your permission!"
"approve!"
"Yes!"
With Liu Hai's approval, a set of keys was quickly transmitted to the systems of all models of Iron Man MS deployed through the special encryption channel used by the First Fleet.
Suddenly, all the various models of Iron Man MS that went into battle unfolded cloaks made of special metal wires.
When the light from the stars coming from afar touched the cloaks made of special metal wires, slightly twisted ripples appeared.
"There are no abnormalities in the sensors of each unit, the radio receiving component, and the resonance system!"
Amid the confirmation sounds from the pilots of the First Fleet of East Asia, the three-plane squadrons with Iron Soldiers as the core moved back one after another, evacuating from the front line to the anti-aircraft firepower network of their own warships, allowing the anti-aircraft firepower network of the warships to provide protection for their own squadron.
At the same time, the Iron Soldiers who failed or had not yet formed a three-machine team, the Iron Generals quickly filled in and stopped the Earth Alliance MS that tried to pursue their own MS.
At this moment, the Earth Alliance pilots, who were preparing to deal with the enemy from the rear, felt very uneasy when they learned that most of the friendly forces participating in the battle had retreated.
Because the aura emitted by the dozen or so MS teams that suddenly retreated and were distributed in a certain pattern on the left and right of the East Asian battleship was like a sword of death that was about to be swung down, making all the enemies feel creepy and extremely uneasy.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
The special metal wire cloaks behind the iron men who made up the three-machine team kept getting brighter, from transparent white to light gold, and then to a bright red that could not be ignored. The warning radars on the warships of the Earth Alliance MS on this battlefield burst out with sharp and piercing warnings.
"Report!! A strong high-energy reaction has been detected!! The location is the area where the East Asian First Fleet is located!!!"
At the moment when CIC's slightly panicked cry was rang out, more than ten bright beams of light suddenly lit up on the battlefield ahead where the East Asian First Fleet was being surrounded and annihilated.
In an instant, more than ten bright beams of light were like indestructible swords, slashing straight at the 6th, 13th, and 60th Earth Federation fleets that were setting up an encirclement from multiple directions.
A series of explosions continued along the direction of the light column. It was not until the moment the light column dissipated that people realized that the formation of the three Earth United Fleets had been shattered by more than a dozen light columns.
"How... How is this possible?! In just a moment, most of the manpower of our three fleets was destroyed?!"
