In the synchronous orbit of Yanhuang Star, the most striking thing is the space fortress the size of a planet.
In fact, this is the "Flying" spaceport.
This huge spaceport is not only one of the largest spaceports in the human confederation, even if you look at the entire Galactic Alliance, it can be regarded as one of the busiest spaceports. In peacetime, there are tens of millions of people coming in and out here every day, and the goods coming in and out every year are even harder to count.
Of course, during the war, "Flying" was the human federation, or to be precise, the space fortress in the third theater of war.
In fact, this huge space base was planned by the Third Theater during the Fifth Greenwich War and started construction after the war, and for the first two hundred years, it has been managed by the Third Theater, which is the third theater in Yanhuang. The only space fortress near the star, for a period of time even was the location of the headquarters of the Third Theater Command. It was not until Zhan Ruilin retired and the threat from the Northern Alpha galaxy gradually subsided that the third theater of operations transformed "Flying" into a spaceport at the request of the federal authorities, and the chief of staff of the theater of staff who was in charge of this matter was dismissed soon after. . It’s just a done deal. Even if Zhan Ruilin is reluctant, he cannot take back the right to use "Feitian" through legitimate means. He just has the federal authorities sign an agreement to characterize "Feitian" as a paramilitary installation, thereby allowing the third theater of war. During the war, the "Flying" spaceport can be requisitioned according to relevant laws and transformed into a space fortress.
In the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the third theater, "Feitian" has always been a battlefield fortress in the third theater, only loaned to the federal authorities in peacetime.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, it was not the federal authorities that took advantage, but the third theater of war.
The point is that in the past hundreds of years, the federal authorities were responsible for maintaining the "flying sky", and the cost of normal maintenance alone was extremely staggering. Someone has calculated that the cost saved by handing over the "Flying Sky" to the federal authorities is enough to allow the third theater to support an additional 100 corps, or a fleet of 1,000 warships. If this cost is borne by the third theater, then the third theater must reduce its standing forces.
In contrast, the military value of "Flying Sky" has not been reduced by civilian use.
That is, when Feitian was transformed into a spaceport, its main structure was not affected, and all the vital military facilities were preserved. As long as the war breaks out and is taken over by the Third Theater, "Flying" can accept all warships and military spacecraft in the Third Theater without any changes. In a month at most, Feitian will be able to accommodate the standing corps of the Third Theater after completing the initial transformation. Even if it is transformed into a real Battlestar, it will never take more than five years. In other words, as long as there is a need, the third theater can turn this spaceport into the strongest space fortress in the home galaxy as quickly as possible.
For this reason, many people believe that it was Zhan Ruilin's arrangement to hand over the "Flying Sky" to the federal authorities, and the Chief of Staff who was subsequently removed was only for the dead.
In fact, this is also the first time "Fei Tian" has restored its original identity after hundreds of years of civilian use.
At this time, there were a large number of warships near the "Flying" fortress, but they weren't much more than those that had already docked and were docking in the port.
Just a few hours ago, it was calm as usual.
Those large and small transport spacecraft all arrived in these few hours, and their destinations were all "flying". The warships responsible for protecting Yanhuang Xing and "Flying" not only did not stop them, but also took turns to greet them, leading the transport spacecraft to dock in the port.
In "Flying", the Legion of the Third War Zone is already ready to set off.
Because there are too many officers and soldiers gathered here, and most of them are transported by small spacecraft. It is impossible for officers and soldiers of a regiment to board the same spacecraft. They can only temporarily disperse the formation, and the scene becomes extremely chaotic. How many legions there are, I am afraid that those present are not clear.
In any case, there must be quite a few, at least one hundred legions.
Fortunately, the order has already reached the grassroots level, and each unit has received the boarding instructions and knows where the spacecraft they are taking is docked. In addition, there are many officers and soldiers in the fortress maintaining order and guiding the officers and soldiers of the legion to board the ship, so the scene did not lose control.
According to the plan, the legions in "Flying" will all leave by spacecraft within twelve hours.
In order to ensure that the action is foolproof, Lin Xiaoting came here early. He is the chief of staff of the theater, and it is his job to arrange troop operations.
Because the destinations of these legions are colonial galaxies that are critical to the Third Theater and even to the entire human federation and have great strategic value, Zhan Ruilin is also very concerned and asked Lin Xiaoting to tell him every two hours. Report the specific situation once.
In fact, only Zhan Ruilin and Lin Xiaoting knew that not only one hundred legions were boarding here, but two hundred.
Before Yu Linglong came to find Zhan Ruilin and agreed to lend out the transport fleet, Lin Xiaoting, according to Zhan Ruilin's instructions, sent the 100 legions that had been prepared to the "Flying" fort, so that after finding the transport spacecraft, he could Let these legions set off immediately, so you don't have to spend time preparing. Yujia can lend a transport fleet, which is naturally better. However, what Lin Xiaoting didn't expect was that after Yu Linglong left, Zhan Ruilin asked him to organize a hundred more legions, and then when the Yu family arrived, he sent these legions to the "Flying" fortress face to face. At the same time, disguise the one hundred legions that were sent over as the guards of the fort, and then prepare to board the ship.
Lin Xiaoting immediately understood that Zhan Ruilin would take this opportunity to send one hundred more legions out.
Although surprised, Lin Xiaoting understood Zhan Ruilin's painstaking efforts.
Don't forget, Zhan Ruilin has sent a hundred legions long ago, and sent them to the ten most important colonial galaxies. Before Yu Linglong returned, the hundred legions had successfully completed their mission, not only regaining ten colonial galaxies, but also annihilating all the enemies in these colonial galaxies. According to the battle report received, the Silicon Magic army has begun to retreat. Although some legions are left behind, they have not many troops and their combat power is not very good. In the ten colonial galaxies, the regiments of the third theater did not encounter stubborn resistance. They basically wiped out the enemy after a short battle. Not only did they not suffer much loss in the battle, but even many heavy weapons were brought along. No use.
According to the reports of these legions, as long as troops can be dispatched in time and arrive before the enemy's devastation, the safety of these colonial galaxies can be ensured.
In other words, the key is not the strength of the troops sent, nor the combat strength of the corps, but the speed of the dispatch of troops.
In fact, even if the ten colonial galaxies are dispatched to lightly armed forces, they can successfully complete the mission, and there is no need to bring so many heavy equipment.
You know, these are still ten crucial colonization galaxies.
So, what about other colonizing galaxies
More importantly, heavy equipment occupies a large amount of transportation capacity. If the spacecraft that transports equipment and equipment is used to transport soldiers, more corps can be sent.
When formulating the backup plan, Lin Xiaoting raised this question to Zhan Ruilin.
Since Yu Linglong had not received a reply at the time, Lin Xiaoting boldly proposed to use all the small spacecraft that could be found to transform these spacecraft at the fastest speed to make them have the ability to navigate across star systems, and then use these spacecraft to make the third The elite troops from the war zone are sent to various colonial galaxies. Although there are not too many troops that can be transported, as long as they arrive in time, these elite troops will definitely be able to complete the task.
Of course, after Yu Linglong came back, this problem disappeared.
Just like this, Lin Xiaoting also forgot about it.
Even if there is no shortage of elite troops in the third theater, in addition to the special reconnaissance squadron, the garrison, fleet and theater headquarters, and even each military division have their own elite troops, many of which are genuine soldiers. At least as far as Lin Xiaoting knows, many military sub-districts obtained some small power converters through various unofficial channels during peacetime to arm elite officers and soldiers and form their own elite troops. In the past, Lin Xiaoting had not seen these things in the military division. Only now, let Zhan Ruilin come forward, the commanders of those military divisions absolutely dare not resist. The concentration of these elite troops is definitely a powerful force, and no one dares to underestimate the important force.
The problem is that these elite troops can be said to be the last capital of the third theater. Use it now, what should I do if I need it in the future? More importantly, the existence of these elite troops was originally a secret, and now sending them out is equivalent to letting everyone know that there is such a force in the third theater.
There are alternatives, which are naturally better.
In any case, one hundred legions are obviously more suitable for the task of regaining colonial galaxies than a group of elite troops.
To put it bluntly, no matter how heavy the loss of the ordinary army is, Lin Xiaoting will not feel heartache, because the human federation has never lacked soldiers suitable for service. Elite troops are different, because only one in a million people in the Human Federation are Primarchs, and they have the basic conditions to be a soldier.
However, what Lin Xiaoting didn't expect was that Zhan Ruilin was going to send two hundred legions out.
Of course, they were all light troops.
After understanding Zhan Ruilin's meaning, Lin Xiaoting came here and personally took charge of the legion's boarding and departure, ensuring that all legions could successfully board the spacecraft sent by the Yu family. More importantly, you have to make sure not to be discovered by the Yu family, because all the crew on the spacecraft are from the Yu family.
The solution is not difficult, which is to mess up the order and revise the boarding plan when appropriate.
Although the Yu family sent thousands of spacecrafts, these spacecrafts are not going to one colonial galaxy, but will be formed into ten fleets, each going to ten colonizing galaxies. After setting off separately, these spaceships will be cut off and they will not know the whereabouts of the other fleets. As long as some spaceships cannot set off in time, ten fleets can be turned into twenty. In addition, after the fleet departs, as long as the action order is adjusted, such as a new order, the ten extra fleets can be sent to another ten colonizing galaxies. Because these fleets do not communicate with each other, the Yu family cannot grasp the exact situation, and it is impossible to intervene in the operations of the third theater.
Obviously, these are exactly what Lin Xiaoting is good at.
