"How did you do it?"
Liang Xingchen looked at Lin Fan suspiciously.
There are millions of troops, and Horton must be their important target in the middle of the war!
What made them give up?
"We didn't do anything. We just continued to fool them, telling them that we needed to build a stronghold on the arm, circle Oakes Empire 15 galaxies, and as compensation, allow them to purchase Energy Shield and even Nuclear Fusion devices from us in the future!"
"Is this okay?"
"No wonder"
After the two of them heard what Lin Fan said, one showed his original expression, while the other looked shocked.
The one who looked shocked was naturally Jiang Hai. He didn't know the secret mission Lin Fan carried out last time to Kabart, so he was very surprised!
Why did Kabart get it done just by saying this? And when did you contact Kabart Empire?
Seeing Jiang Hai's confused expression, Liang Xingchen had no choice but to turn to him and briefly explain Lin Fan's previous mission.
"So that's it, does that mean you're lying to them again?"
After listening to Liang Xingchen's explanation, Jiang Hai showed a look of understanding.
"What nonsense are you talking about! How can you call it a lie? The Federation is really planning to sell it to them."
"No way, how can such a powerful thing be sold to other civilizations casually?"
Jiang Hai was shocked by Lin Fan's words. If this was sold to the Kabart Empire in large quantities, they would have more battleships than us in the future, and their battleships would be no worse than ours, so how could we still have fun?
Could it be that the Federation is just trying to make some money regardless of the overall situation?
Speaking of which, Jiang Hai has followed Liang Xingchen for more than ten years. Although he is the leader in fighting, on the other hand, to be honest, Lin Fan can only think that he is born slow!
"Commander Jiang, what we sell to them naturally has a backdoor. If they use these things to attack us in turn, as long as we give an order, they will all be finished! Not only can we obtain a large amount of resources from Kabart, but we can also gradually control their warships, why not?"
"Can you still do this?"
Jiang Hai's eyes widened, so vicious?
Liang Xingchen looked at Jiang Hai and smiled bitterly. This adjutant who had been with him for more than ten years was good at everything, but he was too decent and didn't understand conspiracy at all.
It can't be said that he doesn't understand it at all. If it's all kinds of cunning methods in war, Jiang Hai is still very good at it, but outside of war, Jiang Hai is very good at it.
"Okay, let's continue. Is the time for Oakes Fourth Imperial Guard Legion to arrive at Horton determined?"
Liang Xingchen interrupted the topic directly and continued to ask.
"Well, the sailing speed in Star Path is a fixed 3 times the speed of light.
We previously obtained the location of the Fourth Imperial Guard Legion from Lancer, and then based on the time of Vite's fall and strategic inference, we can determine that more than 90% of them will turn around and go to Horton.
The premise is that the person in the Oakes Empire is not stupid. Of course, even if he does not turn around, it doesn't matter to us. After all, he is still several years away from Epsilon Eridani.
Based on all the intelligence, we can set out in a week and capture Horton before it arrives.
The time error will not exceed three months, which means that after we win Horton, as long as all predictions are correct, Fourth Imperial Guard Legion will appear in Horton through Star Path within 1-3 months. "
"Okay, I'm fine!"
"I don't have any problem either!"
"Okay, let's discuss Horton's strategy in detail."
——
A week later, the newly reorganized federation Third Fleet came to Epsilon Eridani.
Lin Fan also met his new commander Quint Klein for the first time. The two sides did not have too many polite words. After quickly completing the procedures for handing over the defense line, they went back to make arrangements.
Three hours later, the first, second and Fourth Fleet had completely withdrawn from the defense line and formed an array behind the defense line.
"Commander, all fleets are ready and ready to go at any time!"
"Okay, set a one-minute countdown and distribute it to all battleships."
"Understood!"
A minute later, the void shrank suddenly, and the three fleets of 60,000 warships disappeared in an instant.
Epsilon Eridani is 21 light years away from Horton. It takes about 13 days to reach Warp Drive Engine.
At this moment, Fourth Imperial Guard Legion of the Oakes Empire is also close to Horton.
"Commander Aisa, an urgent battle report is coming from the front!"
In Aisa's flagship, the adjutant ran up to Aisa with a copy of the latest communication, a look of panic on his face!
"Read quickly!"
"Two months ago, Reo was attacked from two sides by Sicil and Vite. Kabart Empire dispatched a total of 3 million warships and more than 8,000 warships with shields. Reo fell under the attack."
"At the same time, according to the message sent by Commander Reo at the last moment, Reo defended 1.6 million warships, and all soldiers fought until the last moment, The Kabart army also suffered heavy losses, with estimated battleship casualties of between 1.5 and 1.6 million. At the same time, 8,200 shielded warships were destroyed by the Reo defenders."
Aisa was stunned for a moment after hearing the news.
Even Reo was lost. The original eight Imperial Guard Legion were now the only ones left, Fourth Legion and Russell's seventh, Eighth Legion. A touch of sadness suddenly surged into Aisa's heart.
"Adjutant, how far are we from Horton?"
"There are still 30 days to go, Commander Aisa!"
"Okay, when we get to Horton, we'll take care of Kabart's raid fleet first and avenge the frontline soldiers!"
"Yes!"
——
More than ten days later, Oakes Empire, Star System Horton.
This is the portal to the inner circle of the Oakes Empire, one of the three Star Systems that can connect to the territory of the outer circle.
In Horton, there are five Star Paths, one of which is connecting the outer territory of the Oakes Empire, and the other four are the four Star Systems connecting the inner territory, which can be said to be connected in all directions.
And Horton is known as the first pass of the Oakes Empire, because its external one, Star Path, is narrower than Vite and can only pass 200 warships at the same time.
It can be said that as long as there are tens of thousands of warships guarding this Star Path, even a million fleets may not be able to break in. It is simply that one man is in charge and no one can open it!
Moreover, Horton is most famous for its numerous Resource Stars. There is a total of 1 natural Life Planet and a total of 42 Resource Stars!
Not only that, there are also three large-scale Asteroid Belts in Horton, whose overall scale is at least 30 times that of Solar System Asteroid Belt.
Therefore, Oakes Empire's largest shipbuilding base is built here, with an annual output of 50,000 warships. There is no need to transport raw materials from other Star Systems. All needs can be solved within Horton. Its rich resources are evident.
However, the war readiness alarm, which had not sounded for hundreds of years, suddenly sounded on this day!
"Woo. Wu..."
