Chapter 2012 The gap is huge
To be honest, this nameless asteroid belt is indeed not suitable for fleet passage. Even without those empty thunders, there are only smuggling ships occasionally crossing here. Large ships cannot pass through here, let alone huge battleships.
However, the Borg people adopted a method of passing that no one expected. Nearly 300,000 warships opened fire with their powerful firepower. They completely destroyed the asteroid belt with their powerful firepower. All the asteroids were bombed into dust in space. Together with the air thunder arranged in the asteroid belt, they all lost the ability to block the invasion of the Borg people.
After completely destroying the asteroid belt, the Borg fleet drove straight into the asteroid belt, which was originally impossible for large spacecraft to cross, had become a flat land at this time, and it was even more unobstructed than the best waterway.
The Borg people's actions were soon discovered by the Lone Star Unmanned Reconnaissance Ship of the Interstellar Federation and they were sent back to the front-line command center, where Hu Ke personally took charge of the fleet for defense.
"They actually chose to attack from there..." Hu Ke frowned after receiving the news, and immediately called out the star map.
At this time, in this real-time star map, the original asteroid belt was gone, and the red dots representing the Borg fleet were slowly moving forward.
"It seems that their next target is the Raphael Galaxy!" The combat staff next to him pointed at a star system in front of the Borg fleet.
Because the Lamore Galaxy is a galaxy that the Interstellar Federation is focused on, and it can even be said to be the decisive battlefield between the Interstellar Federation and the Borg people, the Borg people did not dare to use medium and long-distance phase transitions when invading this galaxy.
Because phase transitions at medium and long distances require star gates to assist, especially those transitions that span between star systems.
If you make such a jump rashly, because the node of the jump must be near a star gate, it is very easy to be ambushed by the enemy. Although the size of the interstellar fleet is incomparable to the Borgs, they can set up a large number of gravitational air thunder outside the star gate and then lay ambushings in the distance. Once the Borgs pass through the star gate, when they finish the jump and the weapon system and conventional engines are not activated, they will suffer a devastating blow from the interstellar federation.
To avoid this, the Borgs could only move forward through short-distance leaps and then cooperate with conventional engines, which is the main reason why the space war took years or even decades.
Before invading the Lamore Galaxy, Victor also sent a large number of reconnaissance ships. According to the results sent back by the reconnaissance ships, the defense nodes on the Interstellar Federation were indeed arranged according to the star gate. Any nearby star gate that could be used was deployed by the Interstellar Federation.
Although it is completely fine for the Borgs to forcibly break through these star gates with their strong hard power, if they attack like this, they will bring them a lot of unnecessary losses.
So in the end, Victor chose to attack the Lamor galaxy from this asteroid belt. As long as they took down the Raphael galaxy, they could expand around, gradually erode the opponent's defense nodes, and then annihilate the fleet of the Interstellar Federation.
Once most of the fleet of the Interstellar Federation is destroyed, they will lose their ability to ambush. At that time, the Borgs can cross the star gate without any scruples and will soon hit the earth.
In this decisive battle between the two sides, whether it was the Interstellar Federation or the Borgs, they focused on the war on annihilation of the enemy's vitality.
...
"How long will the enemy arrive in the Raphael Galaxy?" Hu Ke turned around and looked at the technology officer.
"If the enemy does not directly cross the star gate, they can only move through short-distance jumps and conventional engines. In this case, they will take about ten days!" The technology official gave the result after calculation.
"What is the defense status of Raphael?" Hu Ke asked the adjutant. Although he personally presided over the defense of the entire Ramor Star, there are star gates in the Lamor galaxy, and there are dozens of galaxies that need to be defended, so Hu Ke cannot keep the situation of each defense node firmly in his heart.
"There is a joint fleet there. The seven planets in the star system also have more than a dozen interstellar fortresses in the orbits, and the orbital defense devices are also very sound!" the adjutant replied.
"Is a joint fleet..." Hu Ke frowned. In the current organization of the Interstellar Federation, a joint fleet includes ten main fleets, which means that this joint fleet contains ten main battleships and more than a thousand conventional warships.
Compared with the size of the fleet that invaded the Borgs, the interstellar Federation's defensive fleet in the Raphael Galaxy is pitifully small!
You should know that the scale of the interstellar Federation's fleet itself cannot be compared with the Borgs, let alone they need to defend dozens of defensive nodes!
As a defensive party, the Interstellar Federation enjoys many advantages, such as logistics supplies, interstellar fortresses and orbital defense equipment, but their shortcomings are also extremely obvious, that is, passive!
As the active attacking side, the Borgs have the right to choose to attack there, so the fleet can remain concentrated. As the defensive side, they must divide their troops to handle each defense node, and then after determining the main attack direction of the Borgs, they mobilize reinforcements from other defense areas.
This is a natural advantage that both the attacking and the defensive parties have, and this is a reality that cannot be changed.
So at this time, the Interstellar Federation had an embarrassing situation in the Raphael Galaxy where three thousand warships versus three hundred thousand warships.
"Commander, this battle cannot be fought, let the brothers on the front line retreat..." The combat staff advised that the gap in strength between the two sides was too big, so big that it could not be made up. The gap of strength of more than a hundred times is not considered the other person's war stars. If the Borg fleet arrived at the Raphael Galaxy, then the three thousand warships of the Interstellar Federation would be given their heads.
Don’t say that you still have a large number of orbital defense weapons and interstellar fortresses in the planet’s orbit. In the face of the huge military power of the 300,000 Borgian warships, these defensive equipment no longer has any value. If you only have a round of volleys, no matter what kind of interstellar fortress or orbital defense weapons you are, all of them will be killed in one round. If you put three thousand warships there, you won’t let others fire the second round of cannons!
