Eighty-four Raid Horton (Part 1)
"How did you get it done?"
Liang Xingchen looked at Lin Fan suspiciously.
Millions of troops, and Horton is an important target in the middle of their war!
How did they get them to give up?
"I didn't do anything, I just continued to fool them and told them that we need to build a stronghold on the arm, circle the 15 galaxies of the Ox Empire, and as compensation to allow them to buy energy shields from us in the future, or even Nuclear fusion device!"
"That's okay too?"
"No wonder..."
After the two listened to Lin Fan's words, one showed the original expression, and the other was shocked.
It was Jiang Hai who looked shocked, but he didn't know the secret mission that Lin Fan performed in Kabat last time, so he was very surprised!
Why did you say that Kabat did it? And when did you contact the Kabat Empire?
Seeing Jiang Hai's confused expression, Liang Xingchen had no choice but to turn his head and briefly explain Lin Fan's previous mission to him.
"So that's the case, does that mean you lie to them again?"
After listening to Liang Xingchen's explanation, Jiang Hai showed a clear look.
"What nonsense! How can you call it a scam, the Federation is really going to sell it to them."
"No, how can such a powerful thing be sold to other civilizations casually?"
Jiang Hai was taken aback by Lin Fan's words. If this was sold in large quantities to the Kabat Empire, they would have more battleships than us, and their battleships would not be worse than ours, so how would we play?
Did the federation ignore the overall situation for some money?
Speaking of which, Jiang Hai has followed Liang Xingchen for more than ten years. Although he is a leader in wars, on the other hand, to be honest, Lin Fan can only think that he was born dull!
"Commander Jiang, what we sold to them naturally has a back door. If they use these things to attack us in turn, we only need one order, and they will all be finished! Not only can we get a lot of resources from Kabat, but also If you can gradually control their warships, why not do it?"
"Can you still do this?"
Jiang Hai's eyes widened, so vicious?
Liang Xingchen looked at Jiang Hai and smiled bitterly. This adjutant who has been with him for more than ten years is good at everything, but he is too decent, and he has no understanding of conspiracy and tricks.
It can’t be said that I don’t understand it at all. If it is all kinds of cunning methods in war, Jiang Hai is still very good at it, but outside of war…
"Okay, let's continue, is the time for the arrival of the Fourth Army of the Oaks Guards in Horton determined?"
Liang Xingchen interrupted the topic directly and continued to ask.
"Well, the speed of sailing in the way of the stars is a fixed 3 times the speed of light.
I obtained the position of the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard from Lancer before, and then based on the time of Werther's fall and strategic inferences, it can be judged that more than 90% of them may turn around and go to Horton.
The premise is that the people of the Oaks Empire are not stupid. Of course, even if they don't turn around, it doesn't matter to us. After all, he is still several years away from Tianyuan Si.
Based on all the intel, we're leaving in a week to get hold of Holden before it arrives.
The time error will not exceed three months, which means that after we win Holden, as long as all predictions are correct, within 1-3 months, the Fourth Army of the Guards will appear in Holden through the way of the stars. . "
"Okay, I'm fine!"
"I'm fine!"
"Okay, let's discuss Horton's strategy in detail..."
------
A week later, the newly reorganized Third Fleet of the Federation came to Tianyuan Fourth.
It was also the first time that Lin Fan met his new commander, Quat Klein. The two sides didn't have too many courtesies. After quickly completing the formalities for the handover of the defense line, they went back to make arrangements.
Three hours later, the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Fleet had completely withdrawn from the defense line, and had formed an array behind the defense line.
"Commander, all fleets are ready and ready to go!"
"Okay, set a one-minute countdown and distribute it to all warships."
"clear!"
A minute later, the void shrank abruptly, and the three fleets of 60,000 battleships disappeared in place in an instant.
Tianyuan 4 is 21 light-years away from Horton. It takes about 13 days to reach it through the curvature engine.
At this moment, the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard of the Oaks Empire has also approached Horton.
"Commander Isa, there is an emergency report from the front!"
Inside Aisha's flagship, the adjutant held a new newsletter and ran to Aisha with a look of panic!
"Hurry up!"
"Two months ago, Leo was attacked by Sicyril and Werther on both sides. The Kabat Empire dispatched a total of 3 million warships and more than 8,000 warships with shields. Under the attack, Leo fell."
"At the same time, according to the information sent by Commander Leo at the last minute, Leo defended 1.6 million warships, all the soldiers fought until the last moment, and the Kabat army also suffered heavy losses, and the casualties of the warships are expected to be between 1.5-1.6 million. , while 8,200 shielded battleships were destroyed by Leo's defenders and 7,800 were destroyed."
Isa was stunned when she heard the news.
Even Leo was lost. At the beginning, there were only eight Guards Corps left, and now only his Fourth Corps and Russell's Seventh and Eighth Corps were left.
"Adjutant, how far are we from Horton?"
"There are still 30 days to go, Commander Isa!"
"Okay, wait until Horton, first pack up Kabat's raiding fleet and avenge the front-line soldiers!"
"Yes!"
------
More than ten days later, the Ox Empire, the star system Horton.
This is the gateway to the inner circle of the Ox Empire, one of the three star systems that can connect to the outer circle.
In Houghton, there are five star paths, one of which is connected to the outer territory of the Ox Empire, and the other four are the 4 star systems that connect the inner territory, which can be described as extending in all directions.
And Houghton is known as the No. 1 Pass of the Ox Empire, because its outer star path is narrower than Vitale, 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 way of the stars, even a million fleets may not be able to enter, it is simply a one-man pass, and ten thousand people are not allowed to open it!
Moreover, Horton is most famous for having a large number of resource stars, there is a natural life planet here, and a total of 42 resource stars!
Not only that, but there are also three huge asteroid belts in Horton, whose overall size is at least 30 times that of the solar system asteroid belt.
Therefore, the largest shipbuilding base in the Ox Empire is built here, with an annual output of 50,000 warships, and there is no need to transport raw materials from other star systems. All needs can be solved in Holden by themselves. Abundance is evident.
However, the combat readiness alarm, which had not been sounded for hundreds of years, suddenly sounded on this day!
"Ugh...uuuuuuuu..."
