From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

"Hahahaha! I knew I made the right bet!"

On the flagship of the Federation Navy's First Fleet, the Intrepid, Marshal Trafalgar could no longer suppress the surging ecstasy in his heart, and he roared with unprecedented excitement.

His face, which had experienced the vicissitudes of time and was engraved with traces of perseverance, was slightly red due to extreme excitement, and his whole person was immersed in an indescribable state of excitement.

For Admiral Carroll, who was sitting on the other command chair, this was the first time he had seen Marshal Trafalgar, who had always been calm and emotionless, in his many years of following him. , on the eve of going into battle, there was such a violent and rare mood swing.

"Marshal, I can see that you are in a good mood?"

Admiral Carroll asked. He felt a little more relaxed at the moment. Looking around, the huge combat star map clearly and intuitively showed the current strength comparison of the two sides. It was an absolute advantage of three to one. In this situation, the federal army held an overwhelming numerical advantage.

Moreover, the three fleets here are all elites of the federal navy, not to mention having the upper hand and morale advantage in ambush battles.

Therefore, in Admiral Carroll's view, this ambush battle was not said to be a sure win, but it was also a certainty.

After hearing Admiral Carroll's words, Marshal Trafalgar also smiled and said: "There is nothing more beautiful in the world than seeing through your opponent's strategic deception."

——

Turn the time back to the moment when the "Iron Triangle" received the information that "the Atlas combat fleet dispatched on a large scale, and two super flags also dispatched with the fleet."

Based on the previous discussions between the three, the transmission of this intelligence almost confirmed the possibility that Atlas Group and the Renaissance Alliance would launch a full-scale attack on the Federation.

And Brandon even hoped on the spot that Marshal Trafalgar would lead the fleet to prepare for war and 'defend the enemy outside the country'. Although the area controlled by Atlas and the Renaissance Alliance was actually the territory of the Federation.

"We can no longer withstand the struggle. If the Atlas Group invades and causes huge chaos, then the situation that we have finally stabilized during this period will have problems again. There have always been people below who are against the military government. ' sound, now they can find an opportunity to add fuel to the fire."

Brandon's speaking posture was very low, almost as if he was begging Trafalgar directly.

This is not because of any other reason, but because he knows that if Atlas Group and the Renaissance Alliance really come in, he will definitely not end well.

On the other side, Defense Secretary Miller has the same idea as President Brandon. He also believes that the Federation can no longer withstand the tossing, so the main fleet must be used to block the enemy's attack that may come at any time.

After hearing the persuasion of these two people, Marshal Trafalgar carefully stared at the star map and the troop arrangements of both sides for a long time, and finally raised his head and said:

"The Atlas Group and the Renaissance Alliance will not really launch an attack. What we are seeing is just a strategic fraud. That Mr. Amber must have other goals."

"What?!" Brandon was shocked, "Marshal Trafalgar, this is too risky! How can we be sure that this is a trap set up by the Atlas Group?!"

"Yes, once something goes wrong in this plan, we and the federation will be in dire straits." Defense Secretary Miller also tried to dissuade him.

It can be said that Marshal Trafalgar's words were completely beyond the expectations of the other two people. They did not expect that after seeing the Atlas Group's super flagship in place, the Navy Marshal still believed that Atlas The Sri Lanka Group would not actually launch an attack, but at the same time chose to use every trick to ambush Amber.

Marshal Trafalgar saw the suspicious looks on the two men's faces. Brandon even began to look at himself like an 'old fool', and the marshal had to explain.

"To be honest, I admit that for a moment, I almost believed it. I almost believed the Atlas Group's drama, and planned to lead the fleet to confront them on the edge of the control zone just like you thought. ."

The corners of Marshal Trafalgar's mouth raised slightly, revealing a slightly bitter smile, and there was a trace of self-deprecation in his eyes.

Brandon: "Then what was the reason that made you, Marshal, change your mind?"

"Their 'play' was so realistic, as if they were really going to attack us."

"Is there any problem with this?" The person who asked the confused question this time was Defense Secretary Miller.

At this moment, seeing that the other two people still didn't understand his thoughts, Trafalgar slowly explained his reasons and thoughts to them.

"When I calmed down and carefully analyzed Commander Amber's character traits and consistent combat style, I firmly believe that he is definitely not a person who will fight according to such conventional routines. What Atlas Group has seen in this battle is What seemed like a perfect show turned out to be an overly deliberate disguise in my eyes. That large red HCP was "strutting" outside every day, and it was so coquettish that it was afraid that others wouldn't know that "Amber" was inside. It seems a bit more deliberate.”

Having said this, Marshal Trafalgar showed a rare expression of appreciation on his face and continued:

"Mr. Amber really likes me in this area. If we hadn't had different positions, I would have really wanted to put aside the turmoil of the war and have a good communication with him."

"This kind of 'communication' will be fine no matter how long it takes after you win the final victory and capture him. We must respond to the immediate emergency first!"

President Brandon's voice was a little anxious. It was obvious that he had no intention of joking with the old navy. After gathering his emotions, he continued to ask:

"Since you think this Amber is trying to get behind us and stab us, where do you think he will attack? Attack our main warship production line? Or our current largest refinery?"

“I thought it would be here”

Marshal Trafalgar raised his finger and pointed to an area without any official facility markings on the map, and the other two were even more shocked when they saw this area.

"'Pillar of All Living Beings'? Wait, you mean, they are going to directly attack our proton annihilation bomb assembly center?"

Defense Secretary Miller suddenly sat up straight, and the expression on his face became extremely serious at the same time:

"This place is top secret to the outside world. Even if Mr. Amber was a psychic agent before, there is absolutely no way he would have access to secrets of this level."

Marshal Trafalgar smiled and said as if Amber had been his old friend for many years: "The more impossible the place, the more likely Mr. Amber intends to 'surprise victory'"

"Marshal! You are clearly gambling. Even a person like me, who is not a high-level military expert, knows that there is basically no evidence to support the choice you are making now!"

President Brandon finally couldn't bear it anymore. After all, if the Atlas Group really came in, he, the last president, might really lose his life.

So he stood up from the chair, waved his hands, and had a rare moment of toughness in front of Marshal Trafalgar.

"Because of your unilateral 'feeling', you judge that the enemy's heavy troops on the confrontation line are just acting. At the same time, because of your unilateral 'guessing', you believe that the enemy will suddenly attack 99.9% of the planets that are top secrets of the Federation. Launching a raid on a secret facility that isn’t even marked on the map?”

From the perspective of an ordinary person or even an ordinary officer, Brandon's toughness does make sense, because the decisions made by Marshal Trafalgar are all based on his own experience and intuition, and There is no direct intelligence to support this.

In fact, Secretary of Defense Miller had the same idea as the President at this time, but as a friend and 'traditional ally' of Marshal Trafalgar, it was difficult for him to directly refute it at this time.

Under normal circumstances, President Brandon could find a way to veto Marshal Trafalgar's battle plan through procedures, but unfortunately, the current federation is no longer 'normal'.

So Brandon also felt for the first time, what is the "charming moment of the military government"~

After stubbornly insisting on his own judgment and not allowing others to refute him, Marshal Trafalgar led the three selected elite fleets to leave secretly and arrived at the 'Pillar of All Living Things' more than ten days in advance as quietly as a ghost. This mysterious and dangerous cloud of interstellar dust lies in wait.

As for the batch changes in painting and hull numbers on the confrontation line, pretending to be from the First, Second, and Third Fleets of the Federal Navy, half of them came from temporarily unsealed sealed warships, and the other half came from the military-industrial complex. Corpse'.

These giant companies that were once all-powerful in the Federation were completely incorporated after the military government headed by the "Iron Triangle" was formally established. The warships they controlled also became spare ships and were pulled out at this moment to "prop up the facade."— —

"Report, it has been confirmed that the enemies in front of us are the First, Second, and Third Fleets of the Federation Navy! Judging from the rapid screening results of the Intelligence Control Center, these three fleets should be at full strength. The closest one is the Federation's First Fleet. The fleet has a straight-line distance of 290,000 kilometers and a current relative speed of 13 kilometers per second!”

On the bridge of the Eternal, Ramos quickly reported some important information to Amber. Unsurprisingly, the young officer's face showed nervousness, just like the other rookies on the bridge. Same as an officer.

"Boss, what should we do now? Should we continue the operation?" Ramos asked cautiously.

"Calm down. You are a fleet officer!"

Amber did not answer Ramos's question directly, but reminded him, and at the same time glanced at the uneasy eyes on the bridge.

"The same goes for you. Officers should behave like officers! You are the role model for everyone in the fleet. Even if you become such a bear, how can you let the rest of the fleet have the courage to fight?!"

Amber's voice seemed to have magic power, penetrating directly into everyone's ears. This kind of voice that used psychic skills quickly made Ramos feel at ease.

"Besides, I didn't panic, why are you panicking?!"

"Yes, Boss"

Amber's tone changed: "You still want to drive a warship with such a low voice?"

After hearing this, Ramos seemed to be under a spell. He immediately stood up straight and replied loudly: "Yes! Boss! We are not panic at all!"

"Very good~ This is how you feel energetic!"

Amber nodded and praised with satisfaction, and at the same time, she did not stop moving on the command seat operation panel for a moment.

From the very beginning, he had been working with Lilith and Seris to quickly search for a trajectory line, intending to escape from the encirclement of the three federal fleets before they completely surrounded him.

The psychic's 'multi-threaded' thinking ability was brought to its full potential at this moment. Even though the brain was calculating rapidly, Amber also kept issuing orders, allowing the fleet to quickly enter the state of facing the enemy.

And it was not difficult to calculate the emergency breakout route. Although Marshal Trafalgar bet that Amber would lead the fleet to raid this place, he could not predict the exact location of Amber's attack anyway, and could only make a very sophisticated pre-encirclement based on his own experience.

But even so, this encirclement still seemed a bit loose. After all, if three fleets were used to encircle, the number was still a bit insufficient, and there were still loopholes in many places.

Although the 'operational space' left was not large, and it was difficult for ordinary fleet commanders to use it in such a short time, it was enough for Amber.

Soon, the breakout route was displayed on the holographic projection platform, and after Lilith and Ceris double-checked it, it was quickly distributed to the entire fleet.

This report, which has been processed by two AIs and is detailed to the breakout route of each warship, allows the warships that receive the order to directly guide the route adjustment by the shipboard control personality without secondary processing.

Therefore, Amber's "new fleet" that adopts a new command mode, at this moment, when implementing the flagship command, it seems to be more orderly and swift than those old fleets, just like a school of fish in the deep sea.

And such feedback also made Amber regain a sense of the game for a long time, because when commanding the fleet in the game, there is a system to provide similar assistance to reduce the player's operating burden.

"The entire fleet will break out according to the latest route, forward three!"

"All electronic warfare teams will turn on the electronic warfare module. After the frequency hopping scan is completed, conduct full-band and full-channel electronic warfare attacks!"

"The second, third, and fourth attack formations of the assault formation forward, load stealth plasma torpedoes, launch tubes without deflection, 5 rounds loaded and fired!"

"The fifth and sixth attack formations on the right wing of the assault formation, load anti-beam gel missiles, deflection angle of 15 degrees, wall-type dispersion, 3 rounds of salvos, 2 minutes interval, fire!"

"The third, fifth, and seventh drive and escort teams of the assault formation rear guard, micro-power active air mines, No. 3 dispersion plan, full base number deployment!"

Just like controlling an entire fleet to fight a guild war in the game, Amber's fleet began to respond to his orders at a very high speed.

Although many crew members in this fleet, including the command of the warships, panicked after the appearance of the Federal Navy's ambush fleet, they gradually became relieved when the orders from the flagship were issued through the tactical network.

Just as Amber had told them before departure, they only needed to follow the procedure to complete each of Amber's instructions, and the rest was left to Amber's fleet to command.

After confirming that the fleet quickly executed his instructions and there was no delay or disconnection for the time being, Amber breathed a sigh of relief and sent a brief order to the fleet on the confrontation line in the federal controlled area through the flagship's ultra-long-distance communication unit.

[It has been confirmed that the first, second, and third fleets of the federal navy are all guarding the "Pillar of All Life" area, and immediately launched a full-line attack according to the pre-war task allocation. ]

Looking at the "sent" prompt that popped up on the long-distance communication interface, Amber looked up through the porthole of the whole territory at the federal navy fleet in front.

His sharp eyes seemed to have directly crossed hundreds of thousands of kilometers, penetrated the heavy front armor of the battleship, and focused on Marshal Trafalgar in the captain's seat.

"God of War. No. God of Gamblers, I want to see how firm your determination is."
