The lord of salted fish does not want to engage in construction

The strategy of trying to solve the cosmic tides has reached a dead end, and the information Keith has learned is also not ideal.

When we meet again, Keith and Rong Di are very tacit and straight to the point.

"From those adjutants in Sooh, we asked Kong Kong for the entire strategic roadmap this time. The situation is very pessimistic. We are now a lone army, completely surrounded by the forces of Kong Kong." Keith led Following Tabor to the lounge of Rongdi and Ren Zimo, he threw out the conclusion he was most worried about at the beginning.

"In such a short period of time, all the empty troops have entered Hoshino East District?" Rong Di was very surprised, the situation was worse than he expected, "How did they do it?"

"This really sounds unbelievable. But based on the information they provided and some of the signals we can receive, we can be sure that they should have realized that strategy." Keith smiled bitterly, "Their deployment time is really beyond my imagination .Talk about the specific situation.”

Lieutenant Colonel Taber stood half a step behind Keith, still with a straight face.He had always firmly believed that pioneers should not participate in this war before, but now he didn't say anything against Rong Di, but his expression and tone were very stiff.

Keith had an order, and he executed it neatly. The terminal in his hand projected a projection, and the hollow marching diagram he drew was projected on the white wall next to him.

What first appeared in the center of the screen was a large area mixed with red and white. From the overall outline, it looked like a capital letter A.

If you look at it too much, you can tell it at a glance. This is the bird's-eye view map of the star field in the East District of Hoshino.

The top point of the word "A" is the connection between Hoshino East District and the federal infield, and the closed triangular area on the upper part of "A" is closer to the infield than other locations, has many planets, and is relatively weakly affected by the dark matter forest. They are all the core areas of Hoshino East District. Ao Jinxing, Pure Black Base, and Sanjiaxing are all located in this area, and the distance from the infield is also in order from near to far.

The two "legs" at the lower part of "A" gradually extend outward from the core area to the Hole of Bootes, that is, the left and right cantilever areas of the East Hoshino area, which is a more remote peripheral area than the core area.Among them, the garbage star where Rongdi grew up, planet No. [-], and Hoshino East Command are all located in the left cantilever area, while the Bone Base and other beast planets are located in the right cantilever area on the other side.Between the left and right cantilever is the outer edge of the void of Bootes.

If you change it to a three-dimensional map, the "A" in Hoshino East District will look like a shellfish with its mouth open in the direction of the hollow.

Taber operated the cursor to mark the horizontal left position in the middle of "A": "This is where we are now. The white area is the Eastern District, and all the red dots are the theoretical distribution of the empty troops."

There are many red dots that change the main color of the entire background, covering the entire Hoshino East area.There are three places with the highest distribution density of red dots, and the most front one is a long series that divides the triangular area of ​​"A" up and down with Ausvenus as the midpoint. The intervals between the dots are extremely small, almost Connected into a solid line.

It was this line that Tabor marked next.

"According to their marching plan, two days ago, the troops who sneaked into the Eastern District in advance completed the formation of this blockade line. The main strategic purpose is to intercept all reinforcements from the Federation and completely separate the Eastern District from the Federation map. .”

"The troops that make up the blockade line are called the first echelon by them, with a combat power of about 200 ships. The second echelon immediately behind is the non-combat troops that you have intercepted, and is responsible for destroying all interstellar base stations and other infrastructure , and then settle in and occupy various Hoshino bases and human settlements on other planets. The number has not been officially counted, but they are all small battleships or transport ships, and the number is above the first echelon."

"After that, the third echelon is the main force that cuts into the eastern region from the ends of the cantilevers on both sides after the appearance of the cosmic tide. The specific combat strength is unknown. The plan is to continue to erode from the far end to the core area. The final meeting point of the troops is us The current location, the Sanjia Starfield."

When Tabor introduced here, his face was already iron-faced: "According to Seoheh, Sanjiaxing is the new location of the capital they have chosen."

From one to three, the empty strategy brings the entire Eastern District under control.

Then, Tabor operated the terminal again, and a series of different black spots appeared on the map.

The distribution of black dots is much more uniform than that of red dots, and the intervals are also very regular.Connecting them all together, the resulting figure is the outline of the entire Hoshino East District.The only irregularity is that the density of black dots is higher in the cantilever area on the left than on the right.

But this bit of density doesn't seem to work either.In the picture, after the intersection of marks of different colors, it can be found that the number of red dots is much more than that of black dots all over the map. Except for the blockade, the place where the red dots gather the most is also the area where black dots are distributed. .

Therefore, the meaning of this black dot is very obvious.

At this point in the demonstration, Taber stopped talking, and only his facial expression vividly interpreted his anxious and unwilling mood at the moment.It was Keith who took a calmer attitude, faced the facts, and said succinctly: "The black ones are the garrison and patrol stations of the Hoshino East Military Headquarters, which should be the secret information of my headquarters. But this arrangement has obviously been completely exposed. All of their third echelons are heading towards our garrison. With mental calculations and unintentional circumstances, the current situation in each garrison is not optimistic."

Rong Di glanced at Tabor next to him: "Is the original goal of Seoheh's team the Sanjia Star, or the first regiment?"

"There are other troops advancing towards the first regiment." Keith shook his head. "Tabber received a temporary transfer order from the headquarters two days before the disconnection to go out on patrol. Because he discovered the enemy in advance, he used mobile warfare to hide." Launched an ambush and intercepted part of the intelligence. That's why he gave up the station and turned to secretly patrolling nearby, waiting for the rabbit, trying to ambush the main reconnaissance force of Seoheh. It's just that we encountered it first."

"What is the temporary transfer order? Is it related to this battle?" Rong Di asked again.

Keith's expression was a little emotional because of Rongdi's words: "It has nothing to do with the void, but it has something to do with you. Do you remember what you hinted to me before the Star Beast War started?"

"So you did understand at the time." Rong Di was a little relieved, "Then it seems that we can expect something from the Eastern Region Garrison?"

"It may not be optimistic." Keith shook his head helplessly again. "After our joint research and judgment, the news of the command's request for help that we intercepted earlier should be fake, so this temporary transfer order may also be the result of a hidden operation."

"If Tabor goes out to patrol according to the latest order, it is more likely that the defense of the garrison will be empty. It just so happened that Admiral Liu gave Tabor an order after I relayed your hint, so he will find out that something is wrong sooner. .”

"At the beginning, after listening to the report, Admiral Liu had already decided to adjust the garrison situation of each legion. But to be on the safe side, he didn't tell me what the new arrangement was after he adopted the opinion. Now we can only know what the situation here in Taber is. Expand the patrol area."

Keith motioned Rong Di to look at the distance between those red dots: "We asked, they used secretly coded one-way signals as a means of communication, and sent them repeatedly to communicate with each other. After receiving the information and decoding it, all teams will Keep updating the map situation. According to the communication records of this fleet, they have been marching smoothly, and Admiral Liu's temporary dispatch probably did not work."

Black and red are interlaced, and the marked points are densely packed, leaving no dead ends for this map.Just looking at it this way, the black dot is still quite a force.But if they are all divided and attacked by the enemy, I am afraid that the actual situation in the Eastern District will be completely red now.

Rong Di also fell silent.

They originally planned to find out the empty actual strategic layout, so that they could wait for opportunities to destroy the enemy's targets, break through the gaps, join with Admiral Liu's main force in the eastern region, and guide the follow-up counterattack.

But the reality is that even if they figured out the enemy's plan, they couldn't find the space for the planned activities.The reason why the Yi Fleet was able to complete the victory in this battle was entirely because they were stuck in the last gap left by the empty strategy-the low combat power space between the second and third echelons.

As for this little space, the "stitching" will be completed with the arrival of the large army with Seohel's King's Fleet as the vanguard.

"Now our biggest disadvantage is that we have prepared a mature communication and troop deployment system. However, all our garrisons do not understand the situation and can only fight on their own. Even if we start to mobilize our troops now, we must transmit information like It is the same as attacking a fortified point, re-opening the connection between points one by one. This is too slow to advance, and it is impossible to guarantee how many garrison troops will survive.” Keith’s analysis and prediction revealed pessimistic expectations.

"Is it impossible for other garrisons to survive like the first regiment?" Ren Zimo asked anxiously.

"Of course there are possibilities, but the outcome of these scattered points depends entirely on the performance of the commanders and fighters. It cannot be accurately predicted, and it is even more difficult to effectively use them to solve the crisis. As for the few of us, the biggest difficulty now is that the mobility is too weak. Next, any action we make may be our last chance to make a decision, and we can only succeed, not fail."

Keith explained in a difficult tone: "I have to be honest, until now, even if we can have the conditions for every next action to be successful, I haven't been able to find out where the path to success is. All directions look It's all about death."

Judging from the picture, Keith's statement is not an exaggeration.

According to the active trend of those red dots, the time for the next batch of enemy troops to come to the door may be in the next second.

And the key is, they are now, all directions are red dots rushing here.

Rong Di stared at this picture, thinking of the picture that Dark Crow once gave him in his mind.

On the first night of the Hoshino Pioneering Summit, after Carl made an invitation on behalf of the Raven, he sent a picture showing the power comparison of Hoshino.In addition to explaining to Rong Di the division of factions in the Federal Parliament, it also marked the control of different factions in Hoshino.

There, the control area representing the traditional faction basically overlaps with the military garrison situation presented by Keith Taber in front of him; except for a few places such as planet No. The Authority and the forces behind them.And outside the complete Eastern District, is the black that represents the raven and the void, surrounding the entire Eastern District.

They are all power distribution maps of the Eastern District, but the location of the hollow power is very different.And all of this happened in just a few days of disconnection.Among them, the weird feeling is very obvious.

"Have you ever asked, how did the blockade that went around behind us come about? Why were they able to pass through so many garrisons and planets, and cut directly to the planet Ausven? Could it be that they could survive the dual effects of cosmic tides and dark matter?" Are you jumping?"

It takes about 30 days for Rong Di to go back to planet No. 10 from Auvenus, but it takes less than [-] days for the reverse march?

"I asked." Keith's expression became even worse because of this, "You must not have imagined how they came here. The empty first echelon didn't set off after the disconnection, and the route they took was also approaching us now. The third echelon is completely different. It should be said that Kong Kong’s three echelons this time took three different invasion routes.”

The process may seem more incredible than the result.

"The enemies of the first echelon all came through the entire right cantilever area. And they didn't use any special marching strategy, just swaggered along the high-altitude channel we maintained, and drove all the way into the hinterland of the Eastern District .”

"How did you do that?" Rongdi's heart skipped a beat.

The cantilever area on the right is the direction where the bone base is located.

what does this mean?

"It's the cosmic tide." Keith said in a bitter tone, "Although it's unbelievable, that's the result. By controlling the area where the cosmic tide appears, it's like walking with an umbrella without cutting off all the communication nodes in the cantilever area on the right. , there was a passage to avoid everyone. Because the animal damage situation in the cantilever area on the right has been up and down, and the occasional interruption of communication is more frequent, but it did not arouse any suspicion. They moved forward in batches , go all the way to the nearest uninhabited star field to the core area to station and meet, and then avoid the patrol arrangement of our military headquarters, just like that... like entering an uninhabited land."

This is simply a huge mistake that the military cannot take responsibility for.And under the influence of Anzi, it just happened.

"Who would have thought that the direction we came all the way from Aojinxing is already the only relatively weak link left in the empty layout."

After a hundred years of layout, various factors across time and space finally converged here and now under the influence of conspiracy.

After finding out the origin of all the means they used here, Rong Di instantly connected the origin and framework of the grand plan of the void.

The beast planet is the natural fuel of the cosmic tide, and in the entire Hoshino East District, the cantilever area on the right is the most densely populated area of ​​the beast planet.And what's worse, when the cosmic tide lasted for 100 years 20 years ago, because Yanguang mainly controlled the core area of ​​the left cantilever and the lower half, the Federation retreated to the blockade around Aojinxing, and the forces of the void took advantage of the empty territory in the eastern region. It is also the right cantilever area.

There are not only the objective conditions for generating cosmic tides, but also the subjective factors of being familiar with the environment of the star field, so there is an answer to why the void is arranged in this way.

It's just that the more you touch on the deep-seated reasons for the origin of this war, the more frightening you will be.

All the scars that this star field has experienced in the past were finally uncovered together by the void, forming the almost unsolvable situation in front of them.

Since 100 years ago, the federal military department had a major lack of key information, and it was because of this that it was completely reduced to the target of an empty ambush at this time.The lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, as well as the fate of countless human beings living in Hoshino East District, have all been plunged into the hell of war.

In an instant, more scattered information was connected by the most critical truth.

Why do the rumors blame all the problems on him and fabricate an unwarranted crime;

Why does Kong Kong insist on pushing the Hoshino Administration to create a special event like the Battle of the Star Beast, attracting the attention of Rongdi, the Eastern Region Command, and even the entire Federation to the core area, focusing on the very small number of top Hoshino bases;

Why is the Bone Base falling into an increasingly weird and difficult situation amidst the tide of star beasts that has stopped as a whole;

Why did Moda sneak into the hinterland of planet No. [-] to find the empty wheel base when he was alone at the beginning;

Why they can sneak into Planet One without being affected for more than 20 years;

And, at the last moment before disconnection, why did he receive that strange blank email from Gu Yi.

Sadness, emotion, anger and other emotions suddenly erupted together, sweeping Rong Di's entire world.
