It wasn't until he took Li Ruobai to the starship that Chu Jungui understood the whole process.
Evans's raid started very smoothly, and he easily captured the forward base. Then he left two destroyers and a frigate to slowly move things in orbit, while he led the rest of the starships to ambush and prepare for a sneak attack. Figure Legion. As expected, the Jiaotu Legion came out in full force to come to the rescue. As a result, their jumping point was accurately predicted by Evans, and the battle began before they could reorganize their formation.
Li Ruobai, who was hiding in the distance, also admired Evans very much. Despite all his shortcomings, Evans was very sharp in fighting. He ambushed the Jiaotu fleet with his superior fleet, and the Jiaotu fleet was immediately in chaos. It was about to be severely damaged, and might even be completely annihilated. However, at this moment, a huge fleet suddenly appeared!
This fleet was obviously not far away, so they jumped over as soon as they received the news. As soon as they appeared, they rushed to the battlefield and stated in the communication that they were here to rescue Jiao Tu.
At this time, Evans' fleet was surrounded and was beating the Jiaotu fleet. Suddenly, a powerful fleet appeared behind them, and the situation suddenly became extremely critical.
Without thinking, Li Ruobai immediately led the fleet to attack from the side and rear. First, he severely damaged one of the opponent's destroyers, and then he bit the opponent tightly.
The newly emerged fleet was headed by a heavy cruiser. There were also three light cruisers and 6 destroyers in the fleet. The strength of the fleet was more than twice that of Li Ruobai. But Li Ruobai knew very well that if this fleet could not be stopped, Evans would be severely damaged. Therefore, Li Ruobai refused to retreat, relying on the fierce firepower and heavy armor of the Lightyear Starship to deal with his opponents.
But after all, his combat power was at an absolute disadvantage. In the blink of an eye, each starship suffered a lot of blows, and one destroyer was destroyed.
Fortunately, Evans' judgment was correct. He took advantage of Li Ruobai's opportunity to delay his opponent and attacked with all his strength, defeating the Jiaotu fleet in one fell swoop. Then, ignoring the fleeing opponents, he turned around and attacked the opponent's large fleet with Li Ruobai.
Although it was their first time cooperating, Li Ruobai and Evans had a very tacit understanding. Both sides agreed to abandon their opponent's other starships and just try their best to focus on heavy patrols. Soon a destroyer of the Evans fleet was also destroyed, but he ignored it and continued to attack the heavy cruiser frantically. The same was true for Li Ruobai. The two of them were like madmen. They would rather be annihilated than drag their opponent's flagship to be buried with them.
The battle has become fierce in the blink of an eye, and the opponent's heavy patrol is riddled with holes in an instant. If they fight for a while longer, they may be blown up by the volley. At this time, the opponent's command finally became timid and turned around and fled, leaving several destroyers behind.
Li Ruobai and Evans frantically attacked the opponent's rear-end troops, assuming a posture of determined to catch up with the heavy patrol. The heavy patrol was already scarred, so he immediately accelerated when he saw this, and then jumped into the void to escape. As soon as the flagship escaped, the other starships also lost their fighting spirit and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
Li Ruobai's fleet was scarred, and Evans was unable to pursue it at this moment. In the process of frantically attacking the opponent's flagship, his fleet was the main target of the opponent's fire. All starships, large and small, were injured, and one was directly destroyed. Another one was directly destroyed. Two ships were seriously damaged. If left alone, the ship could be destroyed at any time and people would be killed.
Both sides suffered heavy losses in this encounter, each losing two destroyers. At the same time, many starships were severely damaged and were unable to return to the battlefield in a short time.
Only the Jiaotu Legion was lucky. Most of the starships were only damaged but not destroyed, and only one frigate was lost in the end.
What was originally a well-planned surprise attack by Evans turned into an encounter with heavy losses. It could be said to be a miserable victory at best, but in fact it was a draw. Fortunately, the battlefield was ultimately under his control, and most of the rescue capsules were recovered. In the end, the crew casualties were around a thousand.
This fleet that suddenly appeared did not have any markings and did not identify itself from beginning to end. But their ship type cannot deceive people, and the masters of the destroyed starships also have enough information in their heads. In addition, they have captured thousands of crew members, and many of them took the initiative to speak out as soon as they were captured. Various evidences indicate that this fleet is from the 4th Fleet. They were originally going to stay nearby, waiting to rendezvous with another fleet, and then go to the N7703 system to perform missions.
Li Ruobai said meaningfully: "Jun Gui, do you see it? You came to us to perform a mission. What mission are you performing? What mission requires so many starships?"
Chu Jun returned: "Is there any evidence?"
Li Ruobai shook his head: "Not yet. The mission information should only be on the flagship, and not even on the flagship. The commander may not know what to do at this time. We only destroyed two destroyers, and no key information was found on them."
But Li Ruobai added: "What evidence do we need now? What else is there besides us in the N7703 galaxy? Evans discovered an excess of supplies in the forward base. The person in charge of the base is from the Xu family, and the jiaotu belongs to the Xu family. Although the peripheral forces and the 4th Fleet are not direct descendants of the Xu family, they have always had an ambiguous relationship. Put these together, do you still need evidence?"
Chu Jungui frowned and thought, and said: "The war has just begun, and the Federation is not an opponent that can be easily subdued. At this time, are they still in the mood for civil war?"
Li Ruobai said: "You are naive. The war between the dynasty and the federation will not last long. Don't forget that there is a community next to it. In fact, we and the federation want to use war to resolve some disputes that cannot be resolved in peacetime. Therefore, the overall scale of the war is still controllable. At this time, it is normal to deal with some opponents casually. Don’t forget, the Xu family can do anything."
Chu Jungui was silent for a moment, then said: "That's it, I understand. But don't worry, I can do anything."
"That's right." Li Ruobai said approvingly.
Chu Jungui reunited the surviving fleet and returned to Planet 4. A large number of injured people will be sent to the planet base for treatment. Chu Jungui immediately discovered that he still lacked an orbital medical center or simply built a hospital ship. In wartime, in addition to the wounded on one's own side, the wounded among prisoners are also a problem.
After Li Ruobai discovered that his opponent was the 4th Fleet, in order to avoid trouble, he asked Evans to take away all the prisoners. If nothing else happens, these prisoners will be detained in the Federation until the end of the war.
After returning to the orbital base, Chu Jungui returned to his office and was fascinated by the star map.
Li Xinyi walked in quietly and stood behind Chu Jun. Chu Jungui tilted his head slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm worried that you are in a bad mood."
Chu Jungui smiled and said, "Why am I in a bad mood?"
The girl jumped lightly and sat on the instrument cabinet next to her. She swayed her legs and said, "Of course I know you will be in a bad mood. When I was young, I saw that my father was the same as you now. On the surface, there was nothing Nothing happened. In fact, I was in a very bad mood. It was because I kept asking about it that I finally found out the reason."
"Your father has to be in charge of the entire family. There are so many important things, so naturally there will be times when you will be worried. Aren't we going quite smoothly now? There is nothing to be upset about."
"You and your father were worried about the same thing back then. I just heard Ruobai tell you what happened."
Chu Jungui took a breath and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I just feel that I can't fight a happy battle. Even if the war really comes, I feel that guarding against our own people is even more important than guarding against the enemy."
The girl said: "My father's thoughts back then were the same as yours now. Do you want to know what he said later?"
"think."
"My father said that we were just in the same dynasty, and those people never regarded him as one of their own."
Chu Jungui was startled, then savored these words carefully.
The girl added: "Father also said that it is the lesser of two evils. If losing the war can destroy the biggest competitor, then those people would rather lose the war."
"Isn't it possible?" Chu Jun returned.
"I thought so at the time. Then my father asked me, do you know when people are happiest?"
The girl did not wait for Chu Jungui to answer, but said directly: "When you and the people you know make a hundred yuan, you are not happy. But if he loses a hundred yuan and I only lose ten yuan, I’m very happy at this time.”
Chu Jungui finally understood.
The girl smiled and said: "When I was little at that time, I always wondered how there could be such dark people in the world. But later when I got older and saw more, I realized that this was not darkness at all."
Chu Jungui was silent for a moment and said, "I understand, thank you."
The girl looked at him with bright eyes and asked, "What do you understand?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Chu Jungui actually let it slip.
No matter how much the girl asked Chu Jungui, she refused to tell him. Her curiosity was not satisfied, and she was so angry that she wanted to give Chu Jungui two paws. However, the young girl knew how Lin Xi and Chu Jungui met each other back then. This guy's attacks were neither light nor heavy. Even if Lin Xi tried to do something with him, she couldn't get a better outcome. If she did it herself, the consequences would be even worse. After all, being carried around doesn't feel very good.
After the girl left angrily, Chu Jungui continued to look at the star map, but this time his mood was different from before.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Jungui sent a message to Evans so that he did not have to deliberately conceal Red Beard's actions this time. Originally, with Evans' ability and connections, it was not impossible to completely cover up this raid without leaving any trace. But if we don't make any big moves, this matter will more or less leak out. After all, such a fierce battle is not small in scale and cannot be completely concealed.
The dynasty has already penetrated the federation to the point of pervasiveness. This war, which directly led to the dynasty's declaration of war, will naturally attract attention. It won't be long before the information will be placed on the desks of those who are interested.
By that time, they would naturally know that those who raided the advancing base, defeated Jiao Tu, and fought off the ambush forces of the 4th Fleet were actually light years away. It's like a street fight. One party has been planning carefully for a long time to sneak up on the opponent, but before they can make a move, the opponent slaps them first. At this moment, one can imagine the expression on the face of the person behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Chu Jungui smiled and thought, I am in such a bad mood, how can I make your Xu family happy?
In fact, the news spread faster than Chu Jungui expected. It didn't take long for the information to reach someone's desk. After seeing this, an old man was so angry that he slammed the table and said angrily: "Arrogant! Too arrogant! I want to see how long you can jump!"
