The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

1117 , the stalk fights the wolf

After the Commander II-class dreadnought arrived on the battlefield, the fleet strength of both sides reversed again.

The Galactic Republic has 2 Commander II-class dreadnoughts, 81 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, and the number of fighter jets has reached a terrifying 18,000+!

As for the fourth civilization, there is an Ankron-class Titan battleship, 104 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, 20 Cole-class battlecruisers, 9 Dunov-class battlecruisers, and 12 Martha-class missile heavy cruisers. 1, 5 Sowa-class aircraft carriers and 3 Rucrehook-class battleships.

In the blink of an eye, it seems that the fleet of the Fourth Civilization has an absolute advantage, but it is not the case.

Because the 81 Jaeger-class battlecruisers of the Galactic Republic are actually aviation battleships, and the number of their fighter jets has reached a terrifying 18,000+!

In contrast, after a series of offensive and defensive battles and bombings on the planet Eliadu, the Fourth Civilization's fighter formation has only more than 4,000 fighters left, and half of them are vulture robot fighters.

In fact, if Tang Xiao hadn't secretly implemented the rebirth plan in the Fourth Civilization, giving many fighter pilots the chance to be reborn through consciousness transfer, the fighter pilots of the Fourth Civilization would have been exhausted long ago!

From the beginning of the war to the present, the number of fighter pilots killed by the Fourth Civilization has exceeded 30,000. This is also the result of the Fourth Civilization's extensive use of vulture robot fighters to supplement the front line. The loss of fighter jets is secondary, and the loss of pilots is the real fatality.

The Fourth Civilization currently has more than 30 pilot academies, and the number of pilots it provides each year is no more than 6,000, which simply cannot keep up with the consumption of war.

Especially things like pilots, pilot colleges, and naval colleges rely on accumulation and heritage, rather than investing some money and just building it up.

The bottom line is that the fourth civilization is really bad.

Fortunately, there is a rebirth plan, otherwise the fourth civilization can only rely on vulture robot fighters to support its own fighter line, and the result will be disastrous.

So in fact, the biggest reason why the Galactic Republic has started to counterattack on all fronts and has a certain advantage is the superiority of battleship technology.

The Jaeger-class battlecruiser, as an aviation battleship, can surpass the Higra-class, Generosity-class, and Disobedient-class battlecruisers. Although it is not as good as the Cole-class and Divine Will-class, there is no qualitative difference. But if you count the more than 400 fighters on board, then none of these types of warships can compete with the Jaeger class.

In the final analysis, it is the dual embodiment of technical superiority and heritage. If a battlecruiser is unable to draw against an aircraft carrier on the opposite side, it must be your own technical problem. People can carry 400 fighter jets on a battleship and fill up the pilots with rotations, that is the problem of the background.

Strictly speaking, the firepower of the Cole-class can definitely kill the Jaeger-class, but the biggest uncertain factor is the current bullet speed of the hypermaterial electromagnetic gun, and the hit cannot be guaranteed at a long distance.

Therefore, in this military reform, the Behemoth-class battlecruiser equipped with the energy-axis cannon Yamato was favored, because in the previous small-scale battles, it has been proved that as long as the Jaeger-class dares to confront the Behemoth-class cannon , that is definitely the end of the ship crash!

This is the reason why Ling Liang asked his own fleet to withdraw to the outer orbit of Eriadu.

Because the Galactic Republic's reinforcements not only brought a large number of fighter jets, but also brought two Commander II-class dreadnoughts! This put great pressure on the Xuanwu.

The Republic Fleet did not intend to let the Fourth Civilization go. Their fleet destroyed the space factory built by the Fourth Civilization near the fifth planet Tarastra in the previous offensive and defensive battles, and then the army rushed straight to the fourth planet. Planet Eliadu!

...

"Commander II-class dreadnought...it looks as ugly as a hunchback, do you have any more information?" In the command center of the Xuanwu bridge, General Ling asked the intelligence department.

What she said was correct. Compared with the elongated Commander, the Commander II has a significantly larger dome structure, so it really looks like a hunchback [Note 1].

"At present, our military intelligence department has not received any information related to sea trials and test launches, and the Commander II has not been put into actual combat before. But... I only heard such a statement from some naval engineers at Kuat Power Dockyard. ..." the intelligence officer said.

"What do you say?"

"It is said that in the simulated battle, about 3 Disobedient-class light destroyers can fight against 1 Jaeger-class battlecruiser. The Commander II-class dreadnought can fight 1,000 Disobedient-class..." Intelligence Department official Said.

"Are there any specific arguments to support this exaggerated conclusion?" Ling Liang frowned, she totally disagreed with this obviously exaggerated statement.

"Yes. The maximum engine output of the Commander II is almost 200 times higher than that of the Hunter class..." the official of the intelligence department said, "In contrast, the maximum output of the Xuanwu is about 13.42×10 to the 26th power W , It is about 400 times that of the Hunter class. Purely from the numerical comparison, the opponent has the possibility of destroying the Xuanwu, and judging from the movement of the Republic Fleet, they really intend to do so."

"Okay, what about the actual situation?" Ling Liang asked.

The engineering scientist on the side took the conversation directly, "In fact, if calculated according to the energy level, it is indeed impossible for the backward main gun of the Disobedient class to penetrate the shield of the opponent's Commander II dreadnought ship, so in this The numbers piled up under the circumstances are all inflated. I can still say that our Xuanwu can resist 10,000 disobedient ships. Is it meaningful? So in fact, I suggest that you can directly drive the Xuanwu to their faces go up."

"Can the Xuanwu really resist 10,000 Disobedient ships?"

"Of course not, that's 10,000 ships!" The scientist of the engineering department replied firmly.

"Deduct his coffee supply for the next month, and only provide vegetarian dishes for three meals." Ling Liang turned his head and said to the T-series tactical robot with a blank expression.

"Roger." In many cases, T-series tactical robots are quite good as adjutants.

...

Meanwhile, the flagship of the Galactic Republic Fleet, the Commander II-class dreadnought Rossana.

"General, our tactical computer has gone through more than 4,000 simulations. Even if we have received reinforcements, the possibility of our fleet defeating the separatist fleet is less than 20%..." the staff officer came over and said.

"Then, in terms of victory, how did you win?" Admiral Sioster asked.

"By maneuvering in a large area, the opponent's Xuanwu can't put turtle shells on all the battleships..." the staff officer said.

"Such a result is obviously not enough. What if we concentrate the power of two Commander II ships to directly attack the Xuanwu ship?" Sioster asked.

"I've tried it, it's very difficult. The opponent pays great attention to the Xuanwu's formation maintenance, and it is almost impossible to create this kind of surprise beheading opportunity." The staff officer said.

Siost looked at the spherical defensive formation formed by the Separatist fleet on the holographic star map, and frowned.
