Walk alone in the abyss

"Federal Democrat" newsletter:

Because the Luofeng Empire announced its transformation into the Luofeng Democratic Republic and no longer recognized the Suzerain Treaty, the evil Sherman Empire assembled a large number of ships and brazenly launched a war of aggression against the Luofeng Alliance.

The Luofeng Alliance actively responded to the battle, gathering all the military forces of the members of the alliance to meet the powerful Sherman Empire invading army in the airspace inside the border of the Luofeng Alliance.

The tyrannical behavior of the Sherman Empire has already caused dissatisfaction among many regimes!

The Luofeng Alliance is going all out to defend the country this time, which is an act of absolute justice and a just counterattack against the evil invaders!

The strong military strength of the Sherman Empire made everyone inside and outside the Luofeng Alliance feel a pressure close to suffocation.

Just when the outside world thought that the Luofeng Alliance was about to become the next Dominguez, a battle report came from the front that shocked the media.

With a bold and strong attitude, the Luofeng Alliance attacked the invaders of the Sherman Empire head-on, and severely damaged the Sherman Empire crusade army! At the cost of losing less than 4,000 warships, the Luofeng Alliance army defeated the five major battle groups of the Sherman Empire, and completed the most intense battle in the past century in a very short period of time!

In the first battle of Sherman, the Sherman Empire was defeated across the board!

The Sherman Empire is not dead, and they suffered a frontal defeat. Instead of reflecting on their own evil and arrogant behavior, they intensified their efforts. They deployed fleets from all over the place to form an astonishing number of invading troops, and tried to invade Luofeng again.

The Luofeng Alliance took the lead in their first battle and joined forces with the two major battle groups of the Guell Alliance and a strengthened battle group of the Free United States. The second battle with the Sherman Empire was less than a galaxy day apart.

The battle lasted for sixteen galaxies, and in the end the Sherman Empire paid the price of losing more than 6,000 warships, and the Luofeng Alliance temporarily retreated to rest.

Now, the Sherman Empire has withdrawn from the border of the Luofeng Alliance, and continues to eye the Luofeng Alliance.

The United States of Freedom and the League of Güell held press conferences respectively, praising the troops of the Luofeng Alliance for their bravery and fighting skills, and emphatically introducing the powerful power of the self-propelled planetary cannon developed by the Luofeng Alliance.

It is reported that this self-propelled planetary cannon played a key role in the two battles. In the second battle, it was precisely because of the deterrence of the self-propelled planetary cannon that the powerful dreadnoughts of the empire could only shrink back and dare not move forward easily. .

In view of this international situation, my new federal government officially declares:

Our side immediately launched a comprehensive counterattack against the invaders who invaded our country.

The Luofeng Alliance has risen in the Milky Way with a democratic and free attitude.

The evil imperial camp will eventually be wiped out.

With the efforts of many parties, the democracy of the galaxy will usher in a new chapter!

...

boom!

The sound of smashing heavy objects echoed in the virtual conference room.

This high-level military meeting of the Sherman Empire with many participants can almost be seen as a gathering of the core members of the Sherman family.

More than forty old people sat behind the round table, and soldiers, officials, and elders stood behind these old people.

General Akez's face was gloomy, and he was standing in the corner with his head bowed. At this moment, a spotlight shone on him.

He had to make a reasonable explanation for his humiliating defeat, or two failures.

In fact, he didn't need to explain anything.

These people have watched the two battles.

It is enough for him to stand here now and bear the consequences and infamy.

"Akz! We trust you so much! What about you?"

Akz bowed his head and remained silent, while the elders of the Sherman family continued to roar.

"Shame! This is a shame that the empire has never experienced since its founding!"

"It's going too far to say it's never happened, but it's a major failure that we haven't experienced in the last two thousand years."

"Actually, the losses in these two battles cannot be entirely blamed on Akez."

An old man said in a deep voice:

"Everyone has witnessed the battle process, Akez's command in front of the battle is impeccable, and the performance of Emperor Guard 2.0 is also remarkable.

"If it weren't for the efforts of the two of them, our losses would have been extremely heavy in the first battle.

"The jumpable self-propelled planetary gun, this is indeed a tactic that we have ignored before. I don't know when we started, we have become accustomed to relying on the dreadnought with a balance of mobility and firepower, and the opponent just caught us. Weakness, the self-propelled planetary gun with enhanced firepower at the expense of mobility, gave us a blow to the head.

"However, when it comes to changing the form of warfare, self-propelled planetary guns alone are not enough..."

Director Ino, with a gloomy face, raised his hand to signal: "Let me add something."

"You speak."

"First of all, this self-propelled planetary gun is not simple."

Director Ino fiddled with his fingers, and some battlefield information was displayed in front of everyone.

"Similar weapon systems have been developed in the history of the Empire, but these projects were finally abandoned. The most important reason is that the materials are not up to standard.

"The material technology used in these self-propelled planetary guns, as well as the related energy control technology, are far beyond what we have mastered.

"This is especially the case. The firepower technology of the dreadnought is already the limit of what we can use on warships that can jump. Based on the firepower of the existing dreadnought, if we want to obtain a 10% energy increase, It is necessary to increase the volume of the dreadnought by 30%.

"Not to mention, the problem of range is more difficult than energy improvement.

"These self-propelled planetary guns can already be regarded as Luofeng's killer weapon, and they are a demonstration of their super high industrial level... We are indeed lagging behind."

"Ino! Don't forget, we still have the Skyfury Fortress."

"Everyone should know how much we have paid for the leap technology of Skyfury Fortress."

Director Ino frowned and said:

"In order to build this movable star cannon platform, how many resources did our ancestors plunder and how much did they pay?

"We can no longer replicate this giant fortress that can jump."

"Where is Emperor Star? How do you explain Emperor Star?"

"We have to admit this," Director Ino said, "The semi-permanent materials used by the Emperor Star and Levi's fleet... are not as good as these self-propelled planetary guns in some respects."

Director Ino pondered a few times:

"Human civilization's control over science and technology can be roughly understood as the degree to which humans control controllable energy.

"Now, Luofeng's control over energy is half a level higher than ours."

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.

This virtual meeting room seems to have become a vegetable market, and there are whispers everywhere.

They could admit they had failed, but they couldn't admit that the Sherman Empire was behind in military technology.

This makes these old people here feel great pressure.

Director Ino sighed.

An old man said: "If you have something to say, finish it."

"Yes, grandfather."

Director Ino rubbed the space between his brows and threw out another set of documents.

Photos of combat drones appeared in front of everyone.

"What's more terrifying than the self-propelled planetary gun is this thing... Luofeng's combat drone."

Director Ino said quickly:

"These things give me a bad feeling, they are so powerful that they are a bit weird.

"This was especially evident in the second battle.

"These combat drones are indeed advanced in terms of structure. They are completely different from the structure of our current drones...they are very maneuverable and have sufficient firepower. There are two technologies in it, which makes people feel incredible .

"The first technology is to form a strange simulated gravitational field between drone groups.

"You can simply understand that each fuselage of these UAV groups carries a small component, and these components are combined into a simulated gravitational field exclusively for these UAVs on a macro scale. Under the traction of this gravitational force, higher acceleration can be obtained with less fuel, and it can also have varying degrees of impact on our ships.

"Look at these pictures."

An imperial 300-meter-class gunboat appeared on the screen. This firepower replenishment ship has been surrounded by drones, and the hull of the ship cannot maintain balance and is constantly turning over.

"That's what that gravitational field does."

Director Ino continued:

"There is a second technology... I can assure you that after we suffered a loss in the first battle, we immediately adjusted the equipment of our warships. We mobilized all the super reformers to use advanced signal jamming ships. Spike-shaped ships, and activated 1,500 stored drone destroyers.

"And then you saw it too.

"The opponent has increased the number of drone groups, nearly 20 million combat drones of different types, wrapped around our ships and launched a surprise attack.

"The UAV destroyer was destroyed first by Luofeng's concentrated firepower, and their UAV was like... just like the pilot sitting in it, and the communication can still maintain combat effectiveness if the communication is interfered. Our interference has no effect.

"Yes, Luofeng clearly knows where their advantages lie.

"Twenty-three percent of the more than 7,000 warships we lost in the second battle were rushed into the interior by drones, and some of the drones turned into mechanical guards and massacred our soldiers. .

"Using this method, the other party captured our 832 large and medium-sized ships.

"If our dreadnought fleet also participates in the battle, I can't guarantee whether they will use more drones to saturate our dreadnought ships after establishing enough advantages.

"UAV swarm simulated gravitational field, UAV swarm super communication technology, ship shield blocking technology... etc., these are the things that really change the battlefield pattern.

"This is simply a mechanical bug swarm."

Director Ino leaned on the chair with a tired expression.

He said in a deep voice:

"I'm not afraid of offending anyone anymore, I have to remind everyone today.

"The rapid development and rapid improvement of the Luofeng Alliance have already surpassed the normal level of development of a political system, and what they have come up with now has caused us to retreat head-on many times.

"Does the Luofeng Alliance hide other technologies? Are they really the only planetary self-propelled guns? Where did their technologies come from?

"I even... when I was thinking about it before the meeting, I thought of a more terrifying hypothesis, those mysterious ships that once attacked the Emperor star circle and kidnapped Hanton's parents, those mysterious ships that once appeared in the insect swarm The mysterious fleet, are they inextricably related to Luofeng?

"I just reviewed all the information about Luofeng, and there are too many anomalies in it. The Luofeng Alliance is expanding too fast, and its member states are too cooperative.

"In the two fights with the Luofeng Alliance in a short period of time, we have completely failed in public opinion and suffered heavy military losses...Now, the New Federation, the United States of Freedom, and the Guell Alliance are already negotiating an alliance with Luofeng.

"The real crisis of the empire has arrived.

"We can suppress the information of these two battles for the time being, because Luofeng, the New Federation, the United States of Freedom, and the Güell Alliance have not yet reached a complete consensus, and Labrador is also controlling public opinion, otherwise...

"This is an absolutely critical moment where we have to adjust our arrogance.

"If you want to solve Luofeng, then withdraw your troops from the New Federation and try your best to solve Luofeng;

"Otherwise... we can only seek peace with Luofeng."

"Peace?"

"Ino! Are you kidding me?"

"The loss of the first battle was due to our lack of preparation! In the second battle, the two sides were evenly matched. Both Guell and Liberty were injured! Luofeng's family property is these ships, and they have lost half of their main force. How can we retreat now?"

"As long as Luofeng's main fleet is exhausted, what's the use of their drone fleet? Are they delivered by merchant ships?"

Director Ino nodded, and said: "I accept your criticism with an open mind, you just go ahead, I'm going to do the experiment."

call out.

Director Ino turned off the communication, and there were voices expressing dissatisfaction with him around the round table.

Many generals were thoughtful, with a little worry in their eyes.

...

Luofeng Alliance, a military port outside Ilanduo.

The heavy battleship Yang Ming was riding on was in the process of being replenished, and the entire spaceport was immersed in a festive atmosphere.

Of course, mourning for the fallen soldiers is the most important thing.

Similar to the Sherman Empire side, Yang Ming is also staying in the virtual meeting room at the moment.

In this virtual conference room, the highest levels of the government and military of the United States of Freedom, the Guell League, and the Luofeng League gathered, and Yang Ming sat at the main seat.

The meeting has lasted half a galaxy, and the things to be discussed are almost finished.

The Güell Alliance will send an additional battle group and three dreadnoughts;

The United States of Freedom will send an additional battle group and two dreadnoughts;

The two countries will provide military support to Luofeng. At a lower price, they will sell 1,000 and 800 medium and large semi-decommissioned ships to Luofeng respectively. These ships will be delivered to a member on the edge of the Luofeng Alliance in the shortest possible time. In the capital of the country, Luofeng is allowed to pay in installments with zero interest.

Luofeng's current problem is that there are indeed too few available ships compared to a superpower like the Sherman Empire.

However, the two big countries, the Alliance and the United States, took out 1,800 ships as strategic reserve resources in one breath, which really cost a lot of money, and the price was only 30% to 100% of the purchase price of normal second-hand warships. fifty.

Is this a discount for Luofeng?

No, this is a blow to the empire and their favor to Luofeng.

The Secretary of Defense of the Free United States is now delivering a closing speech:

"We estimate that the third offensive of the Sherman Empire will come within seven galactic days.

"This time, our three-party coalition forces should unite and cooperate in order to defeat the third fleet of the Sherman Empire head-on.

"If we can gain a greater advantage in the next battle and annihilate enough of the empire's vital forces, then we should strike while the iron is hot and attack the Sherman Empire itself to destroy their military industrial system outside the Imperial Star Circle .

"Although the imperial star circle is advanced, it only has dozens of administrative stars. If we can destroy the military potential outside the imperial star circle of the empire, then we can ensure that we have the possibility of winning the follow-up military competition with the Sherman Empire.

"Please don't slack off, everyone. The most terrifying thing in the empire is, of course, the Levy Fleet, and the second is its industrial size and shipbuilding speed."

"I'll say a few more words."

Chief of Staff Dotamado of the Union Güell added:

"In these two battles, on the premise that the Levy Fleet did not participate in the battle, we achieved excellent results... But then, if the empire loses the third battle, they will fall into an absolute dilemma of internal and external troubles.

"Historically, once the Sherman Empire was close to the red line of subjugation, the Levi Fleet and the Imperial Guard System would show up.

"We have to be prepared for this to deal with..."

Dodama paused in his words.

Because Yang Ming on the main seat raised his hand, a large screen appeared behind him.

Inside the big screen is a starry sky. Nine triangular self-propelled planetary guns, accompanied by their respective escort fleets, converge on the edge of the star system where Ilando is located.

"We dare to declare war on the empire, and we are ready for everything."

Yang Ming said calmly:

"The rise of Luofeng is an unstoppable trend of human civilization in the current dimension.

"The rise of Luofeng has positive significance for the current human civilization in the Milky Way.

"The Sherman Empire is too old. There is a lot of confidential information in it. I can't disclose it to you for the time being. But what I want to say is that Luofeng's selection is the main reason for this victory. The Sherman Empire was abandoned. is an important factor in this victory.

"In the upcoming war, in terms of conventional combat power, we will have to rely more on you.

"The technology you want is nothing more than planetary self-propelled guns and drone swarms. After the meeting, I will send the simulated gravitational field technology of the drone swarm to your country as a token of my sincerity.

"The next battle is crucial to the development of human civilization in the Milky Way. I implore you to temporarily put aside your prejudices and unite against the Sherman Empire.

"At the same time, we can also promise that the front of the Luofeng Alliance only needs to be held for one to three months, and there will inevitably be huge chaos within the Sherman Empire.

"They're always watching you and me."

A group of politicians looked at each other in blank dismay, only a small number of elderly people who held the core power looked a little more thoughtful.

They understood Yang Ming's meaning very clearly.

Behind Luofeng's miracle, there is only one possibility.

Faya, interfering.
