"My brother Toca, does this seem to be different from what we agreed?"
Sechika stared at the vague figure on the holographic projection, and after confirming that the other person was indeed his real brother, he asked dissatisfiedly: "We agreed that you know this deal and I know it, why did it suddenly happen again?" Anyone else join in?”
In the projection, Toca smiled awkwardly and then said that due to his recent investment failure, he lost a lot of money, so he found a trustworthy partner and prepared to eat the pollen on Sechka's hand. Before, it was because he was afraid that his brother would not want to come back to him after learning about the changes in the transaction, so he never confessed to him.
"Is this so...?"
Through the projection, it was difficult for Sechika to judge whether his brother was lying to him, but when he thought about how hot the pollen was, he had no time to find another buyer and had to accept Toka's statement and sent the coordinates. Going out means that you will be here waiting for the other person's arrival.
Considering that we still have two regular naval warships obtained from the black market, although they are decommissioned warships that have been eliminated by the civilized empire, Sechka, who has always regarded himself as a brave man, believes that even if his brother has evil intentions, he is still capable of passing through the emergency Jump away from the galaxy that will soon become the center of the storm.
As for these ten tons of Malinkaline pollen? It’s okay not to!
...
"My flower, oh no, here comes Mr. Sechka? Where is he now!"
Not long after he and Gano ended the discussion about the moon crystal sugar trade, the group personnel responsible for guarding Toca Rexga sent him a message stating that Toca's brother Sechka had arrived in Fenhabenis. galaxy and sent the coordinates of the transaction location.
Although he had expected Sekika's sudden arrival, Yang Tianyi was still a little surprised - first there was a steady stream of moon crystal sugar to generate income for the group, and now there is a windfall worth tens of billions of credit points. It is really a double success. Happy arrival!
Without too much hesitation, he had been waiting for this day for several months and immediately ordered the combat personnel of the Group's Navy Department to enter a state of combat readiness. The three fully modified Javelin-class frigates at the starship berth also began to prepare. heat engine and increase the power of the fusion reactor to be fully prepared for the upcoming first actual combat.
When Ramsey, who was wearing a general's uniform, and a group of senior officers boarded the ship, the three Javelin-class frigates in the best condition quickly took off. After passing through the atmosphere of Fenhabenis, they started their sublight speed propellers and towed the ship. The bright yellow tail flame began to accelerate in the direction of Sechika.
In the command room of the fleet flagship Brilliant, Ramsey, as the interim head of the Navy Department, observed the final pre-war meeting of several naval officers, hoping to learn more knowledge from it.
Since we did not know the escort force brought by Sekka-Rexg this time, we expected the enemy to be lenient at the meeting, and simulated the battle situation with the same three frigates or even four or five frigates as the group navy.
Because it was the first actual combat, the officers responsible for commanding the battleship seemed a little nervous, even pessimistic. So much so that before the radar detected Sekka's fleet, someone started to mention how to escape after the defeat, which made Ramsey, who was listening on the side, frown again and again.
"Ahem, everyone, stop for a moment."
Realizing that if this continues, the pre-war preparation meeting will turn into a defeat summary meeting, Ramsay stood up, threw the tablet with nothing else but a bunch of negative remarks on the seat, and coughed twice. After that, he stopped a group of naval officers who were having a heated discussion on how to escape.
"Sechka Rexgar is just a little thief who smuggles addictive drugs, and you are professional officers trained by the group with a lot of money!"
"Chairman Yang Tianyi and CEO Harland have devoted countless efforts to each of you and have high hopes for each of you."
"You said that the Navy cannot live without good training bases. In just a few months, zero-gravity training grounds and various training facilities that simulate actual combat have been built on the Hughes Star. You said that the Navy cannot live without excellent training bases. warships, so colleagues from the Scientific Research Department and the Engineering Department customized the three Javelin-class frigates you have at your disposal for the navy."
"Even if some of you don't like the navy's uniforms, or want to name the battleships by voting, Mr. Yang Tianyi and Mr. Harland have satisfied you."
"And now, except for a bunch of unprogressive losers and cowards who only advocate capitulationism, I don't see any naval officer in this command room who is worthy of the name of a soldier or worthy of your inflated military rank. !”
"I can tell you that Mr. Yang Tianyi is now in the group branch of Fenhabenis looking forward to your performance in the battle, waiting for the navy that he has worked so hard to bring him good news! He needs me to tell him about the navy. The officers are all cowards, why not use the money given to build your ships to expand the army?"
Ramsay, who became more and more angry as he spoke, saw that all the officers present were staring at him unconvincingly, their eyes also ignited with blazing fire, and they were gnashing their teeth as if they were about to pounce on him and tear him to pieces in the next second. He knew his purpose had been achieved.
So he changed the topic and in a few words diverted the officers' anger to the upcoming battle. And as the temporary head of the Navy Department, he ordered them to immediately simulate an actual battle for him according to the tactics that the Navy Department had spent several months studying.
"Actually, no matter how many battleships Sechka has, our combat ideas are the same."
The highest-ranking naval colonel in the command room besides Ramsey placed his baton on the holographic projection of the Javelin-class frigate. The tip was pointed at the most important firepower of the entire Javelin-class ship, three twin 400 mm caliber electromagnetic rail guns. .
"Directly drive the warships to the best position planned by the combat computer, and then concentrate the firepower to attack each ship one by one, completely destroying one ship before destroying the next one, instead of spreading the limited firepower to multiple targets."
"I understand this. It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt him. But I have a question. Although I am an Army soldier, I also know that in a space fleet battle where the battle distance is often tens of thousands of kilometers, how can you guarantee the naval guns? Hit rate?"
Seeing the serious-faced Ramsay asking such a question, a flash of surprise flashed in the navy captain's eyes - it was not easy for an army general to ask such a question.
"In simulated actual combat, we found two ways to solve the problem of low hit rate."
The colonel displayed the pre-prepared plan through a projection. The clearly visible movement trajectories of enemy and friendly warships allowed Ramsey, who was getting better at naval affairs, to see some clues.
"Is it possible to increase the hit rate by shortening the distance? It is a way, but it is still a long way from what I want. Is your navy trying to fool me with this kind of tactics from the Age of Discovery? "
After recording the simulation data into his own private database for future research, Ramsey was still a little unsatisfied and pointed out mercilessly that this method was tantamount to suicide when facing an enemy that was stronger than oneself.
The colonel who was pointed out did not refute, but came up with the second method, which was also expected by Ramsay.
"This method, we call it area bombardment tactics."
"According to the current projectile speed of the electromagnetic railgun mounted on the Javelin-class frigate, which is approximately 100 kilometers per second, if it fires from 10,000 kilometers away, the opponent only needs to move ten meters per second. When the electromagnetic projectile hits the expected location, By that time, it was already at least one kilometer away from the target, which is an absolutely unacceptable deviation.”
"So after closing the distance with the enemy ship, we will use the calculations of the combat computer to predict the maximum moving distance the enemy ship can make before the projectiles arrive, and then use multiple salvos to cover the entire enemy ship's Range of movement.”
"Since all our turrets will focus on bombarding a single enemy ship, that is to say, in the best case scenario, eighteen 400mm-caliber electromagnetic projectiles will appear at the target location at the same time. Even if there is no hit, it will interfere with Evasion routes for enemy ships, thereby accumulating advantage for the next area bombardment.”
After hearing this, Ramsay nodded and smiled for the first time in the war meeting.
"I understand this, fire coverage!"
Seeing that he understood what he meant, the naval colonel put down his baton and said regretfully: "There would have been third and fourth methods, such as the ship-based swarm missile system that has been manufactured on the production line and the guided artillery shells that the scientific research department has been conquering. . But you also know that the kinetic energy brought by the speed of 100 kilometers per second, even an egg can collapse a building. If you want to guide this terrifying kinetic energy, I don’t think we will give the scientific research department a few more months. I’ll definitely be able to figure it out.”
Although this was just the colonel making fun of himself, Ramsay patted the other party's shoulder seriously and said that he would urge the Engineering Department and the Scientific Research Department to come up with new weapons that can be put into actual combat as soon as possible.
Such an inadvertent move moved the officers in the command room for a while, and they all began to sincerely regard this energetic old man as the real person in charge of the Admiralty, rather than an old guy who was filling in temporarily. It's quite an unexpected surprise.
