Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 448 Crisis Resolved
That night, when Zhong Cheng, Lu Yao and others received Xu Jiuwen's report in Haicheng, they were all in a cold sweat.

After the destruction of the Federation's First Space Fleet, in order to deal with the crisis of the asteroid belt defense line, the Federation has sent all the space warships that can be mobilized to Ceres.

The large-scale riots in New York, Tokyo, and cities that never sleep attracted the elite troops of the Federal Army on the earth and the moon.

The space defense forces of the earth and the moon are in an unprecedentedly weak state, and they cannot resist the sneak attack on the space port by hundreds of space fighters and hundreds of black warrior mech fighters.

On Mars, because it has only been developed recently, the rebel forces have not yet had time to infiltrate, so urban riots did not break out.

But also because of this reason, there is not enough space defense force on Mars, and the surprise attack of the rebel space fleet is likely to succeed.

The consequences are unimaginable!

Now that the Earth and Moon spaceports are in danger, the Mars spaceport is still in danger.

The Federal Supreme Command immediately issued an order, and the Second Federal Space Fleet stationed on Ceres rushed to reinforce Mars.

At the same time, the Mars administrative region was ordered to enter a state of war immediately, and all the mecha units of the Mars Defense Force stationed in Meridian City entered Yinghuo City.

Prepare to use civilian spaceships and aerospace planes to fight the incoming rebel space fleet and buy time for reinforcements.

Hope to keep the space port of Mars!
2042 9 Month 21 Day.

An hour after the bloody battle in the city that never sleeps, the rebel army headquarters received the news.

The headquarters of the rebel army has moved from Vesta to Pallas, Pallas, which is said to be the reason why the supreme commander of the rebel army, Robin Farias, doesn't like Vesta, which has an oriental culture.

Mr. Farias recognized Athena, the goddess of wisdom, more than the kitchen god.

But in the combat command center of the rebel headquarters in Pallas City, Mr. Farias, who was furious, was more like the kitchen god with fireworks.

"You bastards, the operation I had planned for many years was easily ruined by you. Can any of you tell me how the federal army saw through our underground base in the city that never sleeps?"

Marnius, chief of the general staff of the rebel army, Gevar, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and others were speechless, and they also couldn't understand how such a flawless plan would fail?
The silence of the officers in charge made Robin even more annoyed. He kept slapping the table, pointing at these high-ranking rebels and yelling at them.

Paul, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, was equally distressed. He also had high hopes for this operation. If it succeeded, they would be invincible in this war.

But continuing to dwell on the issue is of no avail.

He said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, our space fleet is about to reach the orbit of Mars in two hours, and my subordinates believe that the most urgent task is to decide whether to continue the raid on the Mars space port!"

Robin calmed down when he heard this. It was his main space fleet that carried out the mission of raiding the Mars space port. Unlike the hundreds of genetic fighters in the city that never sleeps, it couldn't afford to lose it.

Marnius, Geval and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly gave Paul a grateful look.

Robin thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think?"

Seeing that Robin was after him, Marnius had to tell the truth, "I think it would be wise to call off the raid!"

Looking at the anger in Robin's eyes again, he quickly explained: "The federal army has captured the person in charge of our operation on the moon, and the operation plan will definitely be leaked. The raid on Mars has turned into a storm."

"But with the strength of our space fleet, even if we destroy the space elevator on Mars, it may be difficult for us to retreat under the attack of the reinforcements from Ceres, Earth, and the moon."

"Then we will lose our current strategic advantage, and the loss outweighs the gain!"

Robin hesitated. Although their space fleet won a complete victory in the Vesta space battle, they wiped out the first space fleet of the Federation and captured more than [-] small and medium-sized space battleships of the Federation Army.

But the losses were equally heavy, almost two-thirds of the warships were destroyed or scrapped, and nearly half of the 10,000+ mecha corps were also lost.

Coupled with the attacks on the important military bases of the federal asteroids such as Pallas and Juno in the past two months, a number of warships and a large number of mech fighters were also damaged.

Now their space fleet looks powerful, but it is actually at the end of its strength.

Robin asked the Minister of Armaments and Logistics Barras, Hans' son, "Ballas, when will the first batch of space battleships built on Jupiter and Saturn be able to participate in the war?"

Ballas replied in embarrassment: "I have already contacted my father. Two months later, the first batch of 56 medium-sized space battleships will be sent to Pallas, but it will take half a year at the earliest to have a real large-scale space warship." Battleship built."

Robin knew that the military enterprises on Jupiter and Saturn had only been refitting civilian spaceships for the past two years, and Hans presided over the construction of real space battleships to achieve results in such a short period of time is already very good.

Instead of blaming Ballas, he encouraged him a few words.

He brought Balas to the front line to entrust important tasks, just as a hostage, and he didn't expect him to be of much use.

Seeing that Robin was undecided, Paul took the initiative to say: "Your Excellency, I think the chief of staff's suggestion is very reasonable. The Federal Army has put together a space fleet, with four Qinglong aircraft carriers as the main force, and is now deployed to the asteroid belt. It is a serious threat to us!"

"Qinglong aircraft carrier!"

Robin's pupils shrank when he heard this word, he was too impressed with Qinglong aircraft carrier.

Although so far, they don't know the combat effectiveness of the modified Qinglong aircraft carrier, but they really have to think about it.

Thinking of this, Robin finally made up his mind. He is also a person who can afford to let go.

"Paul, order our space fleet to return, we will meet the famous Qinglong aircraft carrier in the asteroid belt for a while!"

Paul smiled sinisterly, "I think, if we destroy these Qinglong aircraft carriers again, the Chinese people should kneel down and surrender!"

Marnius, Gevar, Ballas and others all laughed together.

Afterwards, everyone formulated a strategic plan for the next period of time, and decided to continue encroaching on the Federation's territory in the asteroid belt, compressing the living space of the Federation Army, and forcing all the Federation Army's defense lines in the asteroid belt to Ceres.

In the end, whether to annihilate them in one fell swoop or to encircle them for reinforcements, or to besiege for a long time consumes the will of the defenders. Anyway, the initiative is already on our side.

At that time, the earth and Mars will be completely exposed to the direct attack of their space fleet, and the federal army will lose sight of the other and be exhausted.

Robin is very satisfied with the next stage of the battle plan of Paul and others, although it cannot be as immediate as the failed raid.

But it is more secure. This is a conspiracy. Even if they directly tell the federal army about this plan, they will have nothing to do.

A group of generals such as Paul, Marnius, and Gevar are all his confidantes for many years. They have the experience of studying in prestigious military schools and participating in real wars, which is incomparable to the current military executives of the Federal Army.

In the end, Robin said: "What we need most at present are a large number of space battleships and heavy armor. I will go back to Jupiter tomorrow to personally supervise, and the battle here will be left to you!"
