Chapter 2: Mixed feelings

"Now?" The fat man's expression was very upset: "Not very good, right?"

Margaret, who realized the ambiguity in her words, was so embarrassed that her face was flushed. The fat man's face was worthy of beating and the surprised look on her side made her want to find a hole to crawl into it.

However, with her intelligence, how could she not know the fat man's usual trick of making jokes? His seemingly heartless sentence could put the topic aside at the most serious moment.

"I mean I need the support of you and the bandits." Margaret bit her lip gently so that she would not let the fat man pretend to be crazy and foolish: "The Hastings family needs a loyal ally. The Fei Alliance needs stability and unity."

"Let's unite," the fat man blinked his eyes, looking confused, and said, "Let's be honest?"

"Lefo will not openly launch a civil war." Margaret simply explained it and said decisively: "His greatest enemy is Sober, and his foundation is the Fierce League. So, no matter what, he will not launch a full-scale civil war. The battle of rights is only in the dark."

Margaret gently brushed the end of her hair with her hand, raised her white face as white as jade, and said softly: "To be honest, Li Fo's strength is definitely the first among all Feiyang's generals. However, he is too ambitious and too extreme. My grandfather said that Li Fo has fatal flaws. If the Fei Alliance is controlled by such a person, it will only be doomed. Therefore, he must be controlled and suppressed!"

"This is the matter within the Feiyang Republic," the fat man became serious. He looked at the wreckage of the Feiyang warship on the virtual screen and frowned: "It seems to have nothing to do with the Lerei Federation. Besides, how capable are our colors? We were afraid that the city gate would cause fire to harm the pond fish, so why should I go up and go up? I don't believe in Marshal Hastings, and I still need the help of my little fish."

"This is the whole Fei League's business!" Margaret said anxiously: "If Lifo is left, every member of the Fei League will pay the price for it. Among them, it also includes the Lere Federation." She held the fat man tightly with her hand, hesitated for a long time, and always gritted her teeth and said in a voice that only the fat man could hear: "There is something wrong with my grandfather Hastings's body...there is not much time left for us."

When he said this, Margaret felt that all his strength was gone. Her long eyelashes were shaking and tears filled her eyes.

This was originally an absolute secret, and her bottom line and fatal weakness. Although she had followed Hastings for twenty years, she was just a girl with little experience. When Hastings's life counted down, she was not ready to welcome this most cruel war in mankind! As a party to the transaction, she shouldn't have exposed her trump card to the fat man. However, she still said it. She didn't know why. However, when this secret was no longer a secret, she felt that she was much more relaxed, as if she had put down a thousand-pound stone that had been pressing on her heart.

"Physical...problem?!" The fat man looked blankly at Margaret, his mind blank.

Although he has never liked Feiyang Republic, the fat man understood that Feiyang Republic has always been the main force of this war. The greatest reliance of all the members of the Feiyang Alliance gathered around the Feiyang Republic is the powerful army of the Feiyang Republic and their military god, Marshal Feiyang - Hastings!

Hastings, in a sense, has become the symbol of the entire Filipino League and the firmest belief of all soldiers! Even if they face a difficult situation, the soldiers of the Filipino League will be full of confidence in winning the final victory. They will not give up. Because, behind them, Hastings stood. With this war god, they do not believe that they will lose the war.

It is conceivable what the world will become once this person falls?

At this moment, the fat man finally understood why Margaret would use marriage as a transaction during the fighting competition.

No one knew Hastings' physical condition better than her, nor did anyone know the current difficulties and Li Fo's ambitions better than her. Her impatientness made her lose her calmness and calmness. The mecha control skills of the 12th generation of Binalt and the bandit army were a rare bargaining chip for her. She needed strength, which was not given to her by Hastings, but the power that could support her after Hastings left.

What she faced was not only the life-and-death enemy, but also Liver. She must have enough capital to support the glory of the name Hastings!

All questions will be answered at this moment.

The fat man sighed: "Okay. I have only one condition."

"What conditions?" Margaret felt her heart almost jumping out.

She had never expected that after she handed over the trump card, the fat man agreed so easily.

No one understands what this means better than her.

This means that an army including eight armored divisions and eight A-class fleets means stealth warships, the scientific research capabilities of the bandit army, and thousands of advanced aircraftmen who are enough to fight against Binalt's twelfth-generation mechas and their blue mechas. More importantly, this means that Major General Lere, who has repeatedly created miracles in front of him, will become his partner!

If Li Fo knew what kind of army the bandit army was, he would probably regret his decision. For the generals of the command center, they would soon understand what they had missed while keeping silent!

Margaret looked at the fat man quietly, and his bright eyes were filled with uncontrollable tension. What conditions would he put forward?!

"It's very simple," the fat man looked at Margaret and said bluntly: "If you hook up with me, you have to be responsible for me!"

"Fatty!" A charming smile gently rippled on the corner of Margaret's mouth. She quickly kissed the fat man's face, her eyes were as charming as a seductive vixen: "Maybe, I will really marry you one day."

"I have a wife. Several." The fat man looked confused and wiped his face with his hands and said, "Why are you licking my saliva on his face?"

Looking at Secht who was hunched by the side, Margaret felt that she had just lost all the favor she had towards the fat man. She now wanted to strangle the damn fat man to death with her hands!

"This is the main parameter of Binalt [Zhuwall.Change]... This is the anatomical diagram of the original Zhuwall."

The hexagonal conference room was brightly lit. More than 30 generals and officers were sitting on fan-shaped chairs, listening quietly to the introduction of a major general.

There was no other voice in the entire conference room except for the voice of the major general. Although it was just a regular meeting, these officers wearing Feiyang's uniform and sitting casually still gave people a cold and cold air in silence. Everyone's face was faint, and their eyes were cold and hard. That was the coldness and indifference that only warriors who had been through many battles would have.

Li Fo sat at the forefront, listening thoughtfully to the Major General's explanation.

"...It can be said that among the Binard warships we know, this kind of warship can rank third. The two warships ahead of her are still on the drawings of technical reserves, and the other one is probably still able to get off the construction platform of the shipyard!"

"After preliminary prediction..." Major General switched to the schematic diagram on the virtual screen: "My active [unicorn]-class battleship will not exceed 30% when I encounter [huge waves. Changes]. And in group operations, this winning rate will be reduced. In other words, the emergence of the Humphrey fleet can already make us alert enough. At least in terms of the main battleship formation, the balance of the winning rate of the two armies of 50% each has been broken."

"Analysis for specific reasons." Li Fodao.

"Yes, Your Excellency General." The major general subconsciously pointed his legs together and pointed at the comparison data on the virtual screen with an electronic indicator rod. "From the calculations of the main gun caliber of this warship, the strength of the energy shield, etc., we have reason to believe that in the information, the fifth-generation power array that the Binalt Empire has been stuck on the drawings has actually been researched and manufactured, and is loaded on the new giant wave. The power chamber composed of this power array engine will provide more than 50% of the power array. In terms of energy use efficiency, there will be great improvements. With this power array as a basis, all indicators of its warships have been greatly improved..."

The major general tapped the virtual keyboard. The keyboard made of light waves rippled in the air with fingers like water, and the data on the virtual screen quickly scrolled down.

"This is the data sent back by the 19th Group Fleet after the war..." The major general turned around and continued: "From the entire battle, the Humphrey fleet has an absolute advantage in firepower. Although the caliber of their energy main gun is only 3800 mm as before, the attack intensity and attack speed exceed the old giant wave at least 30%. In other words, if our [Mad Shark] class cruiser is hit by a weak part of the side rear wing, we will pray for our soldiers to die in one shot."

As he said that, the major general typing the keyboard again: "This is the battle video at that time. Everyone can watch the movement trajectory of the warship and the interval between its firing..."

The Major General's voice echoed in the conference room without any fluctuations.

Everyone looked at the virtual screen silently and listened to his explanation. From cruisers, battleships to new lightning fighters, to the [Imperial Power]-class aircraft carriers as the fighter combat platform. As the major general's explanation deepened, the eyes of each officer became a little shocked.

"...... [Imperial Power] class aircraft carriers, the Binalt Empire built only twenty ships, each equipped with its twenty Royal Elephant-class fleets. It can be said that this is the strongest force of the Binalt Empire, but unexpectedly, the first appearance of this type of aircraft carrier was defeated. One of the two aircraft carriers of the Humphrey fleet was destroyed by the bandit fleet, while the other was captured..."

"It's OK." Li Fo stood up, waved his hand gently, and interrupted the Major General's explanation: "To sum up, what are the conclusions you have come to?"

"The General Staff has reached two conclusions." The Major General said solemnly: "First, the combat effectiveness of the Royal Elephant-class fleet of the Binalt Empire has been widened from their conventional fleet after being equipped with new warships. It can be said that the Elephant-class fleet is already a special combat unit. The combat effectiveness is far higher than we imagined. It is worthy of vigilance."

"Second..." The major general switched the screen, and dozens of broken warships appeared on the screen: "We analyzed the entire process of the bandit army from the raid to the end. Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that this fleet has invisible ability, judging from the ambush location they chose in this battle and the slow reaction of the enemy at that time, it has shown that they have special techniques that exceed our imagination. And their impact tactics also show that their warships are not as broken as they seem on the surface! If we want to rate this fleet..."

The major general took a long breath: "I will fight 70 minutes! This battle is enough to make them famous in one battle!"

There was a moment of silence in the conference room.

With the officers' deep eyes, Li Fo paced back and forth for a while, and then said coldly: "It seems that I have indeed underestimated this Lelei fleet. Being able to set up an ambush under Humphrey's nose and destroy a Flying Feather aircraft carrier cluster including one [Imperial Power] and two [Jilang. Change] in one fell swoop, it is impossible to do without sufficient strength. Even my Feiyang's B-class fleet cannot complete the same task."

"It seems..." Li Fo turned around and said in a sequel: "I've caused a problem!"

The officers looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. After so many years, they had never seen this commander who was as firm as a stubborn leader, making such an evaluation of a miscellaneous army. They admitted that they underestimated their opponents, which had never appeared before.

However, they also knew that when Li Fo spoke in such a tone, the army would be in trouble! No matter how powerful they were, no matter how many secrets they had, they could not be the opponent of Li Fo’s army! All those who tried to provoke Li Fo were defeated, and this time, there would be no exception!

"Since Margaret appears in the bandit army," Li Fo looked at the interstellar map and snorted: "I guess, what's worth her efforts in that fleet. Pesh..."

"General!" The major general put down the indicator pole and stood attentively.

"Carry a comprehensive investigation of the bandit army immediately," Li Fo frowned tightly: "Including everything they have in Mars. I want the most detailed information! In addition, tell our people about their possible invisible abilities, notify them, and kill the target at all costs!"

"Yes! Your Excellency General!" Pesh saluted.

Although everyone knew who Li Fo was targeting, the expressions on the faces of the officers present did not change at all. In their opinion, this was natural!

"Very good!" Li Fo nodded. He walked forward, took the electronic indicator pole from Pesh's hand, turned around and looked around the officers below, and said lightly: "Say something you are more interested in... Under the pressure of public opinion and the Joint Parliament, the command center has decided to hold a new joint combat meeting in two days according to the situation to determine whether our army is involved in the battle. Marshal Hastings will not attend due to physical reasons, so I guess..."

Electronic indicator pole, on the interstellar map of the Ryan Republic, click gently.

Li Fo said expressionlessly: "This will be the result of the compromise between the parties in this joint meeting. The Republic of Ryan is currently suppressed by the Naga Federation. Since they dare not put us in the Carlston Galaxy and Resk, they will take it for granted that it would be a good choice to let our army join the battle at Ryan, strengthen the attack on Sieves, and alleviate the pressure in other war zones."

As he said that, Li Fo put down the indicator rod and glanced at him. The officers jumped up like springs and stood attentively.

"The door has been opened." Li Fo picked up his military cap, lowered his eyes, and said word by word: "Let us tell all the people of the Fei League, who is the real soldier, the real warrior! Who is the real master of this world!"

"yes!"

The answer to Li Fo was like a low growl before the mad lion came out of the cage.

The two armed merchant ships hidden in the void slowly deviated from the channel and circled deep into the obstacle area. Because the ion propeller could not be turned on, the ship's speed was extremely slow.

However, no one will feel irritated.

On the screen of the hypervisual instrument in the control room, the Seuss fleet finally collapsed after losing two destroyers and a cruiser and all frigates. Six mysterious warships were carrying out the final attack. Even though the opponent had obviously lost the will to resist, these black warships still did not relax at all. Their movements were still so cold and precise.

This is a complete victory. It seems so natural for these six Feiyang battleships to win with less.

No one wants to expose his whereabouts in front of such a space killer. Although the two armed merchant ships were in an obstacle zone and entered a stealth state as soon as they discovered the other party, the other party had a cruiser after all. The radar detection range of the cruiser was much higher than that of the armed merchant ship. Who knows whether the cruiser had discovered it before this?

You know, just now, the bandit Six got a diffuse energy cannon! Although it did not cause any damage, the circuit and data trajectory that appeared on the Skynet surveillance screen when the volume cannon was neutralized by the spacecraft's energy shield, and it was very easy to find abnormalities.

The fat man was uneasy no matter how he thought about it. He could only hope that his opponent would ignore this abnormality, otherwise, they would know that there was a spacecraft beside them. Those asteroids obviously had no energy shield!

The spacecraft is moving slowly, with a speed of no more than 30 kilometers per second, making the two armed merchant ships like two snails in the desert.

On the virtual screen, the battle has ended. Except for one Seus destroyer escaping, everything else has become the wreckage floating in the entire airspace.

As time passed by minute by minute, everyone's hearts jumped faster and faster with the actions of the six warships.

There was almost no hesitation. After the battle ended, the six black warships rushed to the position when the bandit Six was hit. Without any discovery, the six warships quickly separated and searched into the obstacle area.

Judging from the movements of these six battleships, the fat man could easily judge the confusion of the other commander.

However, this brief confusion did not stop him. On the contrary, every command of his was very firm. It seemed that he had already determined that an invisible warship was right beside him.

Invisible technology is not omnipotent. Spaceships can deceive radars and vision. However, spaceships exist after all. They cannot transform into a vain in the void.

Especially flying in this asteroid belt filled with pumice stones and dust. Perhaps the impact of a pumice stone can expose the invisible spacecraft.

You should know that the six battleships that have ended the battle will inevitably increase their detection capabilities to the highest level. Without the pressure of electronic confrontation, all the turned on radars, optical observers, kinetic energy scanners, space particle monitors and other instruments are like countless pairs of eyes and countless invisible tentacles, scanning everything around them. All the data is then collected by the Skynet system to form an accurate detection that can cover at least 10,000 kilometers.

If the distance between the two sides is 10,000 kilometers away, the fat man is not worried at all. Two invisible armed merchant ships can slowly escape from the sight of these warships and leave calmly. If the other party is just one or two warships, the fat man is not worried. However, the actual situation is that the armed merchant ship is less than 5,000 kilometers away from the other party! The other party has six warships!

This cannot be blamed for Seht. Although the battles 5,000 kilometers away can be seen clearly in space with the naked eye, this battle suddenly broke out in thick stardust and asteroid belts. Relying on radars loaded with class ships such as armed merchant ships, it is impossible to discover in advance these top warships with extremely strong radar stealth and electronic interference capabilities of 5,000 kilometers away!

What scared the fat man the most was that the other party had obviously determined that he would go to the transition channel to Resk, so their search direction was very targeted.

Armed merchant ships are carefully avoiding the space pumice stone. However, the distance data from the opponent's ship displayed in the upper left corner of the main screen of the center console is getting smaller and smaller.

Five thousand one hundred and two...5 thousand and three hundred and three hundred and fifty...4950...

The fat man tapped on the virtual keyboard and tried to find asteroids for the spacecraft to hide. However, this attempt was quickly dispelled.
To be continued...
