Chapter 1775 He Is Looking at Garbage

In general, the appearance of the Grand Commander Witte still looks very complete. The smooth and transparent coating on the hull seems to have not been scratched, and even the imperial emblem of the eight-headed dragon roaring at the stars on the front bevel armor is kept very intact.

If the groove in the middle and front of the ship can be ignored, this ship that seems to have just been polished and waxed is even qualified to participate in the military parade of His Majesty the Emperor.

But in fact, this groove is really not particularly obvious, and careless people may even ignore it.

However, for experts, it is also the most terrifying wound, or it is precisely because there is only such a wound that it is more terrifying.

Even Jaeger Sobek, whose battleship knowledge is only maintained at the average level of senior officers of the Empire, can recognize that it is the location of the bridge of the Corona-class dreadnought.

Sobek looked at this triangular and majestic battleship and the shocking wound in the middle of the hull. In addition to sadness, he even felt a little sad. There is always a feeling that the ideals of the past have been tarnished.

He then heard Miss Serlu sigh: "It's so miserable... I heard that there is not even a survivor on the bridge."

Captain Peggs said: "Yes, more than 2,000 people, from Vice Admiral Karaman to the fleet chief of staff to the chief navigator, as well as the captain, the first mate and the second mate, were all wiped out. Wuuwuwuwuwuwu..."

He really wasn't crying fakely, his voice was a little choked.

Viscount Cellu looked at the captain in confusion: "I didn't know that you had such a comrade-in-arms friendship with them?"

"I don't know any of the dead people. But this ship is obviously my dream ship!" Captain Pegsay lamented: "My biggest dream before was to become the captain of the Corona-class. Twenty years ago, 90% of the young people in the Empire believed that the Corona was the greatest dreadnought in the history of the galaxy. But now, our childhood memories are all laughed at."

Miss Cellu still didn't quite understand why her colleagues were so excited, but she still nodded dryly: "I see, that's it."

Sobek also sighed: "...Yes, I once dreamed of using this ship as my flagship."

"I see, your explanation is easy to understand. The soldiers of the whole army will be greatly shocked when they see this scene." Viscount Cellu nodded suddenly.

Even if you want to be double-standard, you have to pay attention to the basic law, right? Captain Pegsay did feel a little hurt, but he still said in a serious voice: "Dreams are so easy to be shattered! This damn war."

The Viscountess pretended not to hear her colleague's sarcasm, and comforted her superior: "You don't have to worry. If you think the Rabbit is too small, there will be a Barbarossa sooner or later. Titan is definitely not out of prospect."

"I have never disliked the Rabbit. This is actually far beyond my ideal when I joined the army. I just think that the Grand Commander Witte is actually the third type of Corona, with strict protection and no stupid bridge design. If this is killed in seconds, what will everyone think?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a cold wind blowing over the bridge, and many people couldn't help but shudder. Captain Pegsay couldn't help but reach out and touch his neck, feeling that his throat was really cold.

As we all know, Grand Commander Witte is a Corona-class dreadnought that has been in service for more than 30 years, and is also one of the last four Corona-class dreadnoughts in service.

Although it has been a few years, even in this era, this powerful warship is far from outdated.

Its five-layer alloy armor, energy crystal coating, and epoch-making induction shield give this warship a protective power that can be called a moving castle. The perfect mesh armor layer, segmented isolation cabin, and separated energy supply system constitute a perfect damage control system.

Even if he is hit by seven or eight antimatter torpedoes and double-digit main guns, he can live as if nothing happened.

Even if the power system and life support system are out of control, a single set of functional systems can allow its two light spear main guns, three positron main guns, and three rail guns to continue to launch continuous bombardments on the enemy, and it can continue to serve as a firm and calm fixed turret.

At a glance, this is a classic warship built specifically for the decisive battle of the large fleet.

Considering its design background, it is not surprising that the Empire would choose this at the time when the Seventh Galactic War had just ended and the Community was independent.

As the last batch of Corona-class ships in service, Grand Commander Witte and her two sister ships were still treated quite well. Their armor uses the latest jade steel outer layer, and the protection has increased by at least three to four percentage points on the original basis. It is said that there is also a special attack effect on radiation burns. In addition, due to the progress of energy cybernetics, the firing rate and cruising performance of this batch of Coronas have been greatly enhanced on the original basis.

Of course, due to the times, the air defense and close defense firepower of this dreadnought are really mediocre. However, a battleship is also a screwdriver in system combat after all. As long as it can maintain formation with the escort ships, this should not be a fatal loophole.

Probably...

In a sense, this modified Corona can actually be regarded as a next-level battleship. If the cost after the modification was not excessive and could not keep up with the post-war pursuit, there might really be no Flame Dragon class.

The Galactic Empire retired all the Corona-class ships, dismantled them, and sold them off, but it kept all the three Corona-class ships built in the last batch and devoted them all to this protracted second conquest of the Earth. During the war.

In short, before the emergence of the great Barbarossa class and the even greater Lord God class, most people recognized that Corona was the most perfect dreadnought in the universe.

However, such a giant battleship, which originally paid special attention to protection, was blown off the bridge without any sound.

Even so, we must frankly admit that the Galactic Empire's shipbuilding level has always been very online.

Whether it was the two battlecruisers Silver Knight, which was torn apart and almost suffered a penetrating wound, or the Grand Commander Werther, whose bridge was blown off, they were all still alive and well.

If you use it carefully, even if you can't get to the forefront of the fleet battle, you can still open the cannon and release the dogs a little.

Although he said that, looking at the bridge of the Grand Commander, even the most battle-hardened warriors could not help but feel the same feeling. The setting of an invincible armored knight whose head was taken off by the enemy without a sound and turned into a headless horseman is not tragic at all.

If combined with the current context, it seems like a kind of post-modernist ridicule and deconstruction.

Of course, the problem that really sent chills down everyone's spine was that every senior general of the Imperial Army present was not sure whether it would be their turn next.

What about the general of the empire, who is not a superior person who has property, a manor, status, status, weaknesses, and a good life to enjoy? Once the shoes under your feet become extravagant, people will inevitably cherish their lives. This is not something that Tirero people can overcome with their strong martial virtues.

As a result, more than 600 imperial warships were crowded into a small galaxy like I Count A4. The imperial generals all said that it was better to stay put until the truth of the matter was fully understood.

But in fact, the real situation is not complicated.

Although the Karaman fleet had been wiped out of its commander, chief of staff, and more than 40% of the command hierarchy, the fleet's hard losses were not many, and there were many witnesses at the time.

In short, combined with the surviving images of the parties and the battleships, as well as the discussion of Major General Tuckers, the senior generals of the Imperial Army quickly obtained the complete battle report.

However, we all know: the Nebula Trail is narrow and rugged, and the jump efficiency will be affected, which will naturally affect the speed. The choice of the Community's Athena formation to take this route was somewhat unexpected by the Imperial Army. However, this did give the Empire an opportunity to pursue the fleet.

Therefore, after a brief discussion with his staff, Vice Admiral Karaman made the decision to turn the fleet into pursuit.

Of course, because the passage is narrow, it is possible for our side to catch up with the enemy. But precisely because the passage is narrow, there is also the possibility of being ambushed by the enemy.

Major General Tuckers raised concerns in this regard.

Lieutenant General Karaman is indeed not a noble general, but he is still very particular about appearance. After a brief thought, he solemnly said: "This hidden danger cannot be ruled out, but this opportunity cannot be missed. As long as we make good use of it, we can complete the two-sided attack on the magic dragon! I have made up my mind, no need to continue Discuss!”

He added: "However, the people on earth do have the possibility of leaving behind a fleet to ambush us! The reconnaissance fleet composed of cruisers in the lead is definitely not careless. In addition, this ship and the first battle patrol detachment will serve as the second formation ”

What he meant was simple. If the leading reconnaissance fleet misses a possible enemy ambush, it only means that the number of these ambush troops will not be too large, and the threat will certainly not be too great.

In this case, he can use the flagship as the MT and forcefully come out of a bridgehead to create opportunities for his own fleet to leave the gravity well. At that time, as long as the Grand Regiment Commander and the First Battle Patrol Detachment entangle the enemy's ambush and gather them together to annihilate them, it will be only a matter of time.

Very silky plan and logical.

Of course, it also conforms to realistic conditions.

The Grand Captain Witte is the most powerful and sturdiest warship in the Karaman fleet. As long as you are prepared, you can definitely hold on for several hours even if you are besieged by several Lord Gods.

In addition, the first battlecruiser detachment is composed of two Silver Knight-class ships.

This kind of battle cruiser is more like an enlarged version of the Aegis ship. After possessing main-level protection, it also has enhanced modular and large-scale secondary guns and close-in firepower, which can form a perfect match with the Grand Commander. complementary.

Even if we encounter a lightning strike, we are not helpless to fight back.

It is normal for Lieutenant General Klarman to want to show his courage to the entire army. As long as it succeeds, the morale of the soldiers will be ignited, the lieutenant general himself will also gain fame and honor, and everyone will have a better future.

Lieutenant General Klarman and his staff never seemed to realize that "small numbers" and "little threat" are not always connected.

So, when a reconnaissance fleet composed of two Glory-class heavy cruisers and six Jaeger-class light cruisers entered the Chalu X3 system, nothing happened. The Athena formation should know what the priorities are, and now they are focused on rendezvous with the Fuxi and their commander.

Lieutenant General Karaman seemed to have seen the other party's anxious state.

The entire fleet began to fall into a state of complacency.

They now really believed that the enemy did not leave any ambushes, which meant that their spirit had reached its limit. According to the analysis of the quality information left in the channel, as long as they jumped twice more, they could catch up with the Athena at X1.

In fact, the front-end reconnaissance fleet had even seen the enemy fleet's artificial light tubes.

At that time, it would definitely be a pleasing pursuit. With their full combat power and fighting spirit, they would definitely be able to make the enemy raise the white flag in an instant, right?

In war, who would not like to chase the enemy who raised the white flag?

Of course, the Fuxi would not sit idly by and watch the friendly forces being wiped out, and would definitely come to rescue desperately. At that time, it would be time for their own hard battle. However, this was exactly what Vice Admiral Karaman wanted.

He did not think he could defeat the dragon, but as long as he was a good MT, he would get the first credit.

When the Silver Knight and the Grand Commander jumped into X3, the battle took place.

Vice Admiral Karaman's mood remained stable. He always firmly believed that since they were not discovered by the reconnaissance fleet, they must be a small group of enemies.

"Brave, but unfortunately he is a fool. Facing an unbeatable enemy, he should retreat on his own and keep his useful body." Vice Admiral Karaman even commented: "However, after all, they are subordinates of the dragon, and they are all brave warriors with heroic spirits, which is admirable."

He expressed his respect for the enemy warriors very reservedly, and he really handled the role of a military noble of Tiriro with full martial virtue very well. Of course, even if it seems a little routine and exaggerated.

This is also the last message left by Vice Admiral Karaman to the soldiers of his fleet.

When the Grand Master, where Karaman was, passed through the gravity well, the gorgeous dragon ship, the Pilgrimage, suddenly appeared like a strange ghost ship.

Perhaps it was because the ghost ship's appearance was so shocking, or perhaps it was because the shining royal emblem on the Pilgrimage shocked Vice Admiral Karaman and his subordinates. By the time the Imperial Army realized something was wrong, the two dragons had already carried their riders and charged to the side of their own warships like silent ghosts.

They had adopted some kind of mystical stealth method from the beginning, waiting for the Imperial warships to come and deliver food.

At this moment, "the dragon that cannot even be named" once again staged a famous scene of single-handedly slashing ships, just like the third Battle of Said. He whizzed through the gap between the two Silver Knight-class ships that maintained a tight formation, and left them with a "scratching" that was almost equivalent to a penetrating wound with an unknown treasure or technique.

But even so, his charging speed was not affected at all.

When the lookouts on the Grand Commander captured the outline of the enemy, it was the last remaining image.

"I think he looked at us like he was looking at garbage," said Lieutenant General Midbech. Although his eyes were completely covered by his helmet, he just had this feeling.

"He wasn't looking at us, but at Karaman," said Lieutenant General Laken, "I'm glad it wasn't me at the time."

In fact, his attitude was very peaceful, more like looking at passing dust... But, isn't this more depressing than looking at garbage? Sobek thought.

The above is the whole process of Lieutenant General Karaman's death on the battlefield.
