Him and their stars

One of the pirate ships hiding on the dwarf planet is the Ranger class, which has made great contributions to the community. This is a multi-purpose warship that was put on the shelves around 827. Because its standard model has mediocre data in all aspects, it has not been favored by the market for a long time.

It really began to shine after the 13th Fleet of the Community used it to modify three models: escort light cruisers, torpedo light cruisers and light aircraft carriers, and made great contributions in all major wars.

In the past few years, the number of orders for Rangers placed by various countries with the Alliance has almost reached four figures, and construction plans have been scheduled for the year after next.

Such a warship should not have fallen into the hands of pirates so quickly.

Of course, the leaders of the underworld in Da Zi Zai City are actually all-powerful people. After all, they also serve as black gloves for the real bosses, and perhaps they have ways to get some new equipment.

Yu Lian originally thought so. The latest ship outline projection sent by the Sky Survey Eye overlapped with the ship information in his own database.

When Captain Nemo came to report, he himself still had an expression of disbelief, but after a brief hesitation, he still bowed to indicate his current situation.

"Are you sure it's Aachen No. 12? Could it be another ranger?" Feifei asked again.

"We also considered this possibility. However, you see, the outline of the stern is clearly the frame of a quadruple guided catapult. This is an experimental device installed on Aachen 12."

This is a weapon developed jointly by Red Star Office and Falcon Corporation. It can be considered an upgraded version of the mainstream gravity catapult - because of the mental computing network of the protozoa, a more efficient gravity model was built - which can provide early acceleration for sub-light speed missiles.

It was originally intended to be added to fighter planes, but the effect of the miniaturization modification was always unsatisfactory, so it was simply installed on cruisers and destroyers.

Of course, since it is new equipment, it will take time to figure out how to best lay it out for the best results. This quadruple-mounted layout is an early experimental design.

As for why the cruiser equipped with experimental equipment became a member of the Bazin fleet and carried out the most dangerous mission of disrupting commerce behind enemy lines, there was nothing that could be done. Facing the imperial army's pressure, the troops under Marshal Yu had long been stretched to the limit, and all the warships had to be counted one by one like counting coins.

"The only quad-mounted rifle installed on the Ranger is Aachen No. 12. We are 80% sure of that." Captain Nemo still used a slightly conservative figure, leaving some room for his words.

But this is already equivalent to affirmation.

Yu Lian fell into deep thought.

In fact, the last time he received news of the Bazaine fleet was two months before the fall of Sayde, which was in March 834, almost half a year ago.

At that time, the fleet led by Commodore Bazin had passed through the blockade of the Bakwi and Letalin people and entered the empire along a smuggling route that few people had set foot on. Their mission was to harass the empire's supply routes in this star field, destroy forward bases and material distribution centers, and attack all military facilities that could be attacked, so as to relieve the pressure on the main force of Said to the greatest extent possible.

Of course, there is another very important point, which is the so-called "If the enemy can go, I can go too."

This is to inform the entire universe that the Imperial Fleet can certainly invade the Community, but the Earth's soldiers are also capable of bringing the war to the Empire's territory.

So, when the news that the Bazan fleet had destroyed a supply fleet within the Empire for the first time was transmitted back to Earth, media outlets in most of the galaxy did not even have time to confirm its authenticity and publicized it as a front-page headline, as if they had already fought their way into the Celestial Realm.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that such a small fleet of only more than 20 warships, whose strength is just a few Xiaguang-class ships, can achieve what military results even if it crosses the Far Shore Nebula and enters the territory of the empire?

This is an action with far greater political significance than military one.

In a sense, they are even playing the role of abandoned pawns.

Yu Lian’s order to them was that as long as they could take military action on the empire’s homeland, it would have a political effect, and they could then find a way to retreat back home.

However, subjectively, Brigadier General Bazin believed that he still had room for maneuver. He felt that since he was already here, if he didn't do something more, it would be a shame for the hardships and sacrifices he had made along the way.

In other words, the longer Bazin's fleet survives within the empire, the more brilliant their "results" will be.

Objectively speaking, how easy is it? As long as they take action, the Empire will be able to mobilize the corresponding forces to chase and intercept them.

By March, Yu Lian finally received the news forwarded by Brigadier General Bazin. When they were trying to enter Shengyuan Star Region from Jijiang, they encountered the Imperial Guard Fleet, suffered heavy casualties, and retreated to the direction of Helos.

This was the last news Yu Lian received.

The General Staff tended to believe that their entire army had been wiped out, but no one pointed this out directly in front of Marshal Yu, whose prestige was growing.

Half a year later, their warships appeared in the hands of pirates. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

When Yu Lian fell silent, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became much heavier. Captain Nemo even felt a little embarrassed.

Feifei was pleasantly surprised and asked, "So, you completed the most subtle contour contrast so quickly?"

She interrupted at the perfect time, and the atmosphere at the scene immediately relaxed a little.

Captain Nemo quickly explained: "Thanks to the terminal of this ship, I have never seen such a smooth analysis device."

He pointed out his ten fingers again: "At least five times faster than the Enterprise-class and ten times faster than the Reminder!"

We can't expect the series of signals He left behind to contain some cosmic truth, right? Considering Xiao Hui's behavior of eating melons and seeds, maybe the old grandmother left a string of swear words?

In addition, the disciples of the whale group had already divided into large and small units and scattered away from the galaxy.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, there are still more than 10,000 of the mighty Ti Yangkai group left, and some have even entered the central ring orbit of this galaxy and will not move forward.

There are two earth-like planets completely covered with lava in the middle ring, and a gas giant planet that is gay purple. It is conceivable that a large-scale planetary reaction is taking place. For Ti Yangkai, this can certainly be regarded as a "grassland".

Compared to the actions of these cosmic beasts, Yu Lian was indeed more interested in the movements of the pirates and the Great Freedom City.

"You just said that you were decoding the pirate ship's communications intercepts."

"We are still analyzing it, but it has been basically confirmed that Aachen 12 has now been renamed Balrog. She is now the flagship of the Flame Pirates." Captain Nemo still used a relatively conservative statement.

Well, it's an old acquaintance from my previous life. Yu Lian thought. However, if it was this group of guys, they were most likely the first to arrive at the scene. They had a very tough leader, and a group of very active followers.

Feifei explained, "This pirate group is also a great chieftain in the Great Freedom City. Their power is not the largest, but their members are the most powerful. The leader is Edward 'Firebeard', a psychic with the courage of ten thousand men. If we only talk about combat power, he is not inferior to the pirate king of the Abyss Nebula who was 'the best in swordsmanship, skills, and psychic power'."

After all, he is the Black Moon Knight, and he knows all about the past of the Black (Meow) Daoist. But then again, why do pirates always like to use "Beard" as a nickname?

Of course, the Pirate King of the Abyss Nebula, who was "the best in swordsmanship, one of the best in skills, and the best in psychic power", had been vaporized by the Alliance's cannons. On the contrary, another Pirate King Gong Xiao, who was better at operations, survived and now became an official and a legitimate imperial noble.

"However, he is definitely not a reckless man," Feifei added.

This is natural. Anyone who can make a name for himself in the Great Freedom City is definitely not a reckless person. Moreover, this person is said to be the spokesperson of some big boss of the Empire in the Pirate City. Perhaps because he has a backer, he has excellent subordinates. He is also very enthusiastic about interstellar hunting activities, and he has many professionals in this field under his command.

Of course, this was just some gossip that Yu Lian had heard in his previous life.

Captain Nemo said: "The name sounds like he is from Earth."

Feifei nodded: "I heard that my ancestors were retainers of Count Bodincha."

Count Platinum was the fifth Governor of Terra and Military Governor of Earth during the Imperial rule, and one of the most capable colonial administrators in history. To be fair, he deserves a lot of credit for the fact that Earth's civilization went straight from the late Middle Ages to the interstellar age.

Of course, this happened more than a thousand years ago and is not important.

What’s important is that the pirates in the Abyss Galaxy actually have clues about Bazan’s fleet.

"That arc cannon..." Yu Lian looked at Captain Nemo with anticipation.

The other party was slightly startled, a hint of joy and excitement flashed in his eyes, but then he realized something was wrong, and said reluctantly: "This, no matter what, it shouldn't come to this. We should still keep him alive, right?"

He then added, "We can send the Red Ghost Squadron, which is on standby, to go! The pirates should be aware of the combat effectiveness of our fighters and know when to act. I have already transferred some fighters and torpedo ships from the interior of the Relic to the hangar of the Ghost... our ship. With the help of the Bifang robots, our preparation and attack efficiency is at least five times faster than before."

Having said that, he raised five fingers again.
