A mountain forest in Siberia
In the small wooden house illuminated by the fire, the mother gently held her daughter in her arms on the sofa and read softly from a bedtime picture book. Just when the daughter's eyelids were about to close, suddenly, there was a landslide and the ground was cracking, and the deafening roar drowned out the frightened daughter's cries. After a busy day of logging work, the father rushed to the living room in a hurry. Because the roar was too loud and he could not communicate in words, he could only wave to his wife to take the child outside the house. Just when they thought it was an earthquake, a strong light came from The window shines into the house. The confused father followed the mother and daughter out of the house. What he saw was three huge space battleships appearing from the mountains as if rising from the ground, flying straight towards the vast sea of stars.
The same scene also appeared in Odessa and Vladivostok. At this time, there are less than 24 hours before the deadline given by "H" to mankind. The nine "Pioneer" class battleships launched by the New Muscovy Principality into the universe are their answer to "H".
This is naturally the unified reply of the alliance. Sooner or later, all the major forces on the earth have sent their troops to the universe. They will meet up with the fleets of the Covenant and the new HER near the moon, and then serve as an advance force and head towards the location of "H" under the name of "Alliance First Fleet".
The composition of the "Alliance First Fleet" is as follows:
9 new Muscovite battleships;
6 Covenant warships;
8 New Universe Holy Roman Empire (New HER) battleships;
5 warships from the Chang'an Cooperation Organization;
5 new EU warships;
5 battleships of the New Republic of Gran Colombia;
2 North American Rescue Alliance warships;
2 African Brotherhood warships;
A total of 42 space battleships, this is the maximum combat power the alliance can prepare in one month.
Excluding the Covenant and New HER, which already had many warships deployed in the universe, only the New Muscovy Principality took out 9 warships to participate in the battle. This is not because the New Muscovy Principality is stronger than other forces, but because HER learned the lessons of Hitler and Napoleon during the First Earth Sphere War and did not dare to seriously launch an invasion of the New Muscovite Principality. The New Muscovy Principality originally built these nine warships for the purpose of raiding New Rome, but now they have become the main force against "H".
Because the war has just ended and the other Earth forces still have a lot of troubled things to deal with, they can only send some troops to join the First Fleet first. It is also very troublesome to send a space battleship to space. It took a month to prepare for the Osiris to return to the universe. Generally, the size of the battleship is smaller than that of the Osiris, and it takes at least half a month to prepare.
While the Alliance's First Fleet was gathering on the moon, the colonial satellite migration also began. The eight colonial satellite city-states closest to the H coordinate mobilized all shipping forces, whether they were warships, merchant ships, work ships, or even private ships. to urgently evacuate the residents of the colonial satellite. Because they were worried that preparing to evacuate too early would be detected by H, which would cause it to start a war with humans in advance and affect the rhythm of the entire campaign, the alliance did not notify the eight colonial satellites until yesterday. This naturally caused panic within the colonial satellite. In such a short period of time, the colonial satellite government had no time to properly guide the masses. No matter which street it was, it was a scene of chaos. People hurriedly took their families and all the belongings they could bring, and rushed to various shipyards on the colonial satellite in a noisy and panic. The cars that were originally used to rush for time were now a complete burden. Except for the first group of people who drove to the shipyard, Everyone else who wanted to drive to the dock was stuck in traffic. As time moved slowly, but the fleet in front of them remained unchanged, their patience was exhausted. In the end, they could only abandon the car and rush to the dock on foot, and the abandoned car blocked the people behind.
Others choose to stay, either because of stubbornness or despair, and some are even discarded. Now no one can take care of the lonely elderly people, children without relatives, and patients in the hospital bed who can only rely on instruments to maintain their heartbeat. Their sorrow may only be picked up after the war, but only if mankind can survive this crisis.
Considering the worst-case scenario, all colonial satellites have been notified of a mandatory evacuation time. Those close to the moon will evacuate to the moon, those close to the earth will go to the earth, those close to Mars will go to Mars, and those close to the unfinished "Steel Earth" will go to "Steel" Earth". If the Earth's sphere completely falls, then humans on the colonial satellites near Mars will have to leave the solar system step by step to preserve the fire of humanity.
Talking back to the Alliance First Fleet, the commander-in-chief of the fleet is Vice Admiral Carter of the Covenant. At the moment, he is sitting at the round table in the tactical room of his flagship and smoking a cigar. In front of him, the holographic projections of the Covenant officer and the new HER officer sat on one side of the round table. Both sides stared at each other without saying a word. Lieutenant General Carter looked at both sides with great interest. He did not intend to say anything to ease the atmosphere at the scene. Instead, he hoped that a foolish young man would come out and say a few words to provoke a dispute at the scene.
As the assembly time approached, the projections of officers from other forces also "sat" on this round table. It can be seen that everyone deliberately kept a distance from the officers of the new HER when they sat down. In the end, it was the officers of the North American Rescue Alliance who arrived last. I had to sit next to the new HER officers, who were famously disgusted with HER because of the nuclear bombing of North America.
Lieutenant General Carter did not give the officers of the North American Relief League a chance to express their dissatisfaction. He pinched his cigar and knocked on the table, signaling to the adjutant beside him to convey the key points of this battle.
The adjutant next to Lieutenant General Carter nodded and said to the holographic projection in the room: "My colleagues, thank you for gathering here at the most critical time for mankind and fighting for a bright and beautiful tomorrow..."
"Stop talking about nice words. Soldiers are valuable and quick. Tell us how this battle is going to be fought. No matter how much we keep it secret, is it too outrageous to not talk about tactics now?" said a fiery-tempered officer from the New Muscovite Principality.
The adjutant saw Lieutenant General Carter nodding and explained: "Because the information interference ability displayed by 'H' previously was so strong that it could invade the entire Earth's network at the same time, we have to be prepared to take precautions. This time As well as future combat meetings, AI Toth from the colonial satellite city-state 'Mycenae' will provide remote network protection. Please also keep it confidential when you return."
An officer from the Chang'an Cooperation Organization raised his hand and asked: "I have heard that the alliance has received help from an AI that claims to be on the side of mankind. However, this time our enemy is also an AI. The AI named Toth is really Is it reliable?"
The adjutant shook his head helplessly: "We can only say that we cannot guarantee it, but the information Toth has provided us so far is accurate. Including the coordinates of 'H', otherwise this operation cannot be established."
Lieutenant General Carter interjected: "Everyone, since you are here, you are determined to die. There is no need to be afraid. Instead of worrying about the AI that helps us, it is better to do what soldiers should do and listen to the tactics this time. Bar!"
The adjutant continued: "In this battle, the enemy we face is full of unknowns, so in addition to the commonly used combat forces today, we will also try to use some old-era combat methods. I believe you all know that our respective battleships all carry A large number of intercontinental nuclear bombs. This old-fashioned weapon used to be a means for major countries to contain each other because of its extremely long range. However, after the rapid development of anti-missile systems, this kind of weapon has not appeared on the historical stage for a long time, and it has also affected The current development of laser weapons. However, this time our battle will give priority to using intercontinental missiles to attack H from a long distance. The reason for this is that according to existing intelligence, H’s self-defense means may only be humanoid weapons, and ultra-long-distance strikes should be able to hit H. It was caught off guard.”
The adjutant operated on his personal terminal, and an AR star map appeared in the center of the round table, with the coordinates of H marked with an eye-catching red flash.
"It is still impossible to accurately estimate the damage caused by the long-range strike to H, but what is certain is that if it is not eliminated, a large number of troops will definitely be sent to our location. What we have to do is to launch an unmanned attack in the first sector. The human space domain holds back its large forces and buys enough time for the follow-up troops to prepare and evacuate the colonial satellite residents."
Carter stood up, changed his previous relaxed and comfortable posture, and said to everyone in a serious tone:
"Fellow warriors, everything we do is to gain a strategic advantage, no matter what the cost. No matter whether we live or die after the war, we can stand tall!"
Carter saluted all the officers present, and all stood and saluted him.
