    Chapter 223: Unlucky start

    ¡°One of the biggest problems faced by Guan Xiaotian is that he lacks sufficient intelligence support.  The Imperials, who had completely controlled outer space, immediately destroyed the satellite monitoring network built by the Sixth Army. This made it difficult for him to judge whether the Imperials' intention was to induce him to send reinforcements, or whether they really wanted to force a landing on the aircraft.  Click login.  The planet Crete is huge, and its volume is more than three times larger than the capital planet. Although most places are desolate and inhabited mineral mountains, the Sixth Legion's more than 200,000 people still defend such a huge planet.  Overstretched, the Sixth Army's troops could only deploy defenses at some key strategic locations.  These situations made Guan Xiaotian very entangled.

    While both the enemy and ourselves were temporarily in different predicaments, the Imperial 22nd Air Force finally waited for the moment when the long-awaited storm subsided, and immediately rushed to Crete day and night.

    There are twenty-three large and small space gates in the Danube Star Territory, including five space gates that can pass through military starships. They are currently guarded by the Seventh Battle Group of the "Imperial Alliance".  This imperial fleet is a mixture of two star fleets from the Yale Empire and the Sman Empire.  Considering that they have two sets of command systems, the Charno Command set the Imperial Seventh Battle Group as a level A standard, which is equivalent to the combat scale of one of Charno's main fleets.  This is already the main force in the general sense. Generally speaking, the A-level military group is the "ace army" in the general sense of the interstellar war.  But it is not the highest level yet. Fleets directly under famous generals such as the "increased" Fire Fleet are defined as S-level in the records of the Charno Command.  With the improvement of the tactical command level of famous generals and the technological level of their countries, the highest level can reach SSS level. For some small and medium-sized countries, the armed forces with such combat power will never be able to reach the standard.

    The 22nd Imperial Aviation Army comes from Yi Lexiang¡¯s old rival, the Strong Empire, and is a pure intraplanetary combat fleet.  In view of its single combat mode, the 22nd Army is not qualified to enter the comprehensive combat strength assessment catalog of the Charno Command.

    Commander of this fleet is a royal member of the Strong Empire: Lord Halifax.  Halifax is only 22 years old this year. In the Strong Empire, this young Lord who inherited the title of his father is one of the few rising military stars in the royal family and is deeply loved by Strong.  His Majesty the Emperor's respect.

    At this moment, Halifax, who was sitting leisurely on a comfortable high-backed seat covered with white animal fur, elegantly held a glass of Dasco's precious red wine in his hand, and casually looked at the constantly busy course corrections in the command bridge.  of lieutenants.  The fleet has entered the Danube star field. Intelligence shows that there are no main starships of the Charno people in this star field. The only local fleet attached to the defense of Crete has already panicked and fled without knowing where it was under the pursuit of the imperial fleet.  Where.  Halifax really has nothing to worry about.

    Interstellar navigation is boring, and Halifax began to look forward to the moment he reached Crete.  An Earth hour ago, communications interrupted by the storm were finally restored.  News came from Crete that Sussman's powerful beast had forcibly started the landing operation without aviation escort.  The sound of heavy breathing coming from the communication period allowed Halifax to easily infer that the entire landing operation was not going smoothly.  It is possible that the Charnorans gave this beast without any aristocratic manners a head-on blow.  When he thought of this, Halifax felt very good somehow.

    The war with Charno has been going on for several years, but there are still many people in the "Imperial Alliance" who disdain this dying ancient empire, as if with just a slight push from them, this ancient empire will collapse.  generally.  The Strong Empire suffered several defeats one after another at the hands of the mysterious young General Charno, and became almost everyone's laughing stock.  All this made Halifax's uncle who held the power of the empire furious.  It is said that when he learned that "Galie", the star-famous general in the interstellar world, was unfortunately captured by the young General Charno, the excited Emperor held a grand palace dance in his palace.  However, even so, these still did not attract great attention within the alliance.  Many senior generals regarded the failure as an unpleasant coincidence.  Especially after learning that the mainstay of Charno, the old veteran military god, passed away, the contempt for Charno within the empire is gradually becoming the consensus of most people.  This also includes young Halifax.

    From the beginning to the end, he was skeptical about the incredible military exploits of the young general Charno.  As someone of the same age, he had always been very confident in his military prowess, but when faced with the detailed battle report sent by the Imperial High Command, he had to admit that he could not do the strategic deployment that day.  This couldn't help but make the young Lord have a little doubt in his heart. EverythingWas it really all done by the young general that the Charno media kept promoting?  Could this be a political movement to "create heroes" led by the Charno government? As a member of the Strong royal family, he was very familiar with the inside story.  After the death of the military god, Charno's series of military defeats seemed to confirm this speculation.  The military intervention of the "Holy Alliance" further strengthened the accuracy of this speculation.  Of course, league brass are irritated by someone trying to snatch the easy fruits of victory.  Under the planning of the Supreme Command, the imperial fleet severely taught the "monkey" who was about to pick peaches in the vast interstellar space.

    "My Lord, the radar has detected an interstellar fleet ahead." A lieutenant interrupted Halifax's thoughts. He waved his hand impatiently and scolded displeased: "Don't you know that the empire's fleet is  Is it stationed at the space gate of the Danube Star Territory? Send an identification code to the other party and ask which fleet of ours it is."

    "Yes! My lord! But you'd better take a look." The lieutenant spoke again dutifully.

    Halifax was really angry now. He glanced sideways at the lieutenant who looked a little uneasy, "You need to give me a reasonable reason!"

    The lieutenant gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. As a member of the royal family, this Lord has completely inherited the moody character of the royal family.  Of course, compared to the arrogance and gesticulation of those princes and grandsons, this Lord is not a useless idiot.  "It's the size of this fleet! Your Lordship, we should not have a fleet of the same size in the Danube Star Territory."

    "Oh!?" The lieutenant's words finally aroused Halifax's interest. Although he did not think it was an enemy, he still left the comfortable seat and came to the holographic radar imager.

    The distance between the two fleets is still very far, and the huge starship bodies on the radar are just blurry red highlights, which are not enough to distinguish the country to which the other party belongs.  However, as the lieutenant said, the size of this fleet is slightly larger. Judging from the flashing red highlights, this should be a fleet close to the size of the main fleet.  But as far as Halifax knew, excluding the Seventh Battle Group stationed at the Space Gate, the empire only had the attack fleet responsible for attacking Crete in the Danube Star Territory.  The origin of this fleet that suddenly appeared is a bit puzzling.

    "Order the fleet to deploy into alert formation and send the enemy identification code to the opponent. The flagship will move to the center position." After hesitating for a while, Halifax gave the order.  Turning around, he gently patted the lieutenant on the shoulder, "Well done!"

    And the mysterious fleet hundreds of thousands of kilometers away discovered the Imperial Aviation 22 fleet almost at the same time.

    "General, I discovered that the Imperial fleet should be an aviation support fleet." Chen Yatian reported to Yi Lexiang with some annoyance.

    "So unlucky?" Yi Lexiang raised his head in surprise.

    The joint fleet composed of the Guards and the new academy army secretly jumped to the Danube Star Territory for the purpose of sneak attack on the Imperial offensive fleet that was besieging Crete.  What people didn't expect was that the fleet had the misfortune to run into the Imperial Star Fleet shortly after leaving the jump point. It was obvious that this Imperial fleet was also rushing to a certain destination.

    This is not a busy interstellar channel. In the vast and empty space, the chance of the two fleets meeting is almost zero. There is really no other explanation other than coincidence.  Yi Lexiang couldn't help but lament over and over again that he was unlucky.

    "The other party sends out the friend-or-foe identification code, and we will be exposed soon."

    "Damn it!"

    The new warships of the Guards have been modified many times by the Anokhi Academy of Science, and their technical indicators far exceed those of ordinary starships.  The high-power scanning radar showed that the opponent was an aviation support fleet without any escort fleet.  Judging from each other's direction of travel, the destinations of the two fleets should be the same.

    "General, should we eat them?" Chen Yatian suggested as he looked at the data on the radar.  An aviation fleet without any escort fleet and only equipped with intra-planet attack weapons can easily defeat the combined fleet without any effort.

    "It's too far, we can't catch up with them." Yi Lexiang shook his head. If the other commander was less vigilant, it would still be possible to trap the fleet.  However, it is obvious that the opponent is very vigilant and has begun to change its formation and gradually slow down, keeping a safe distance from the combined fleet. It is impossible to eat the opponent.

    Yi Lexiang stared at the Imperial Air Force fleet on the radar screen with melancholy eyes, and it was really uncomfortable to see that he had nothing to eat.  However, what made him most uncomfortable was that this sneak attack would undoubtedly go to waste.
