The edge of the asteroid belt, area 016.
Except for the warships performing missions outside the Fourth Fleet, all the remaining 15,000 warships have been assembled here.
The transport ship hijacked by Wood was already in front of him, but the Fourth Fleet had to stop.
Because at this moment, the Oaks fleet hidden in the asteroid belt has revealed its figure and blocked the way of the fourth fleet.
A full 30,000 warships passed through the asteroid belt, and the Mars base was not aware of it. You must know that there are a large number of detectors deployed on the federal side of the asteroid belt.
"Scott Family"
In the flagship of the Fourth Fleet, Liang Xingchen gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
Such a large fleet has avoided all the Federation's detectors in the asteroid belt. If there is no traitor, even Liang Xingchen would not believe it. Combined with the incident of Wood rescuing Duolun, it is natural to think that it is inevitable. It was the Scott family who had tampered with the situation.
"Commander, we are still outside the asteroid belt. If we fight against the 30,000 battleships of the Oaks Empire here, our chances of winning are slim!"
Liang Xingchen's adjutant Jiang Hai said worriedly.
"I understand, but when things have reached this point, it is no longer a matter of intercepting and rescuing people. Once we fail to defeat them here, the Oaks Empire can continuously reinforce the subsequent fleets, and then the Federation will really be finished. .”
Liang Xingchen saw it clearly. Although he still didn't know how Scott did it, the Oaks Empire only came with 30,000 warships, which showed that the Scott family's actions were not enough to defeat the entire Oaks Empire. The fleet can pass through the asteroid belt without being discovered. 30,000 ships should be the limit for their lurking here.
Even so, the Oaks Empire's fleet is no longer hidden at this moment, so the follow-up fleet can pass through the asteroid belt to support without any scruples.
Based on the sailing speed of the Oaks Empire's fleet and the current distance between Jupiter and Mars, Liang Xingchen immediately calculated that the opponent's follow-up fleet would arrive in 42 hours.
In other words, the Fourth Fleet must defeat the fleet in front of it within 30 hours before it has enough time to enter the depths of the asteroid belt to deploy snipers and gain a glimmer of hope!
If we were in the asteroid belt at this moment, Liang Xingchen would still be very confident in defeating the 30,000-strong Oaks Empire fleet in 30 hours.
But in the current position, just like Jiang Hai said, the chance of winning is not very good. Even if he wins, he will definitely be disabled, let alone sniper the opponent's follow-up fleet.
But can I retreat? Obviously not. Once humanity loses the asteroid belt, there will be no danger to defend it, and the only way out for the Federation is to perish.
It has to be said that Adams played this skill very well. He fought in one battle and received two shipments. Not only could he rescue the Ninth Prince, but he could also break through the stalemate that had been stalemate for seven years.
"Jiang Hai, let the first to fifth squadrons form an assault formation and turn to 010! Give me a full breakthrough!"
"Commander, that's where it is!"
Jiang Hai's eyes widened and he looked at Liang Xingchen in disbelief. What was there in that direction? That was the direction of Wood's transport ship.
As Liang Xingchen's adjutant, he knew that the commander's precious daughter was on that transport ship now, and it was difficult to guarantee that the transport ship would not be damaged by the full force of 5,000 warships.
"Stop talking, is it time to consider my daughter? Execute the order!"
"yes!"
After finishing speaking, Liang Xingchen closed his eyes in pain and whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
"I hope the Ninth Prince is really that important."
This is a big gamble, but for Liang Xingchen, when is the war against the Oaks Empire not a big gamble
The equipment is not comparable, and the quantity is not comparable. Every time, I can only rely on the asteroid belt, and use various tactics to do everything possible to make a small gain!
The emergency incident at the Earth Federation Presidential Palace and the Mars base has now reached Lin Zhen.
"Snapped"
In the office, Lin Zhen slapped the table hard!
He originally thought that the Scott family's infiltration of the Fourth Fleet was just to gain greater power, but what about now
"Ed, arrest everyone in the Scott family immediately, and be sure to find out within 30 hours what tricks they did to allow the Oaks Empire to avoid all our plans to pass through the asteroid belt."
"I'll go right away!"
"Remember, allow any means, and the sooner we get them talking, the better chance we have of getting through the crisis."
"clear!"
Seeing Ed walking out, Lin Zhen also fell into deep thought at the moment. There were still many doubts about the whole matter.
The most puzzling thing for Lin Zhen is that since taking action, why do the main members of the Scott family still stay on earth? Waiting to catch it yourself
It seems that the only way to know the answer is to bring people back and pry open their mouths.
However, Lin Zhen didn't know that the Scott family was in chaos at this moment!
Obviously, they, who are extremely powerful in the army, have also received relevant intelligence.
But they obviously just arranged for Wood and some cronies to create an opportunity for Duolun to escape, and then prepared to put a shit basin on Liang Xingchen's head, and finally pulled him down and replaced him with someone from their own line.
How come it turned out that Wood personally went into battle to rescue Dolan, and even escaped with Dolan
Besides, the family's conspiracy against the asteroid belt detector was purely to allow Duolun to escape smoothly. When did it turn into betraying the Federation and leading the way for the Oaks Empire
"Is it Wood?"
Harvey Scott, the head of the Scott family, finally thought of the key. It turns out that the entire plan was proposed by Wood and was in charge of it.
Immediately afterwards, Harvey thought of another incident seven years ago, and a more terrifying guess appeared in his mind.
"So that's it, Wood, hahaha, I didn't expect that my Scott family would be destroyed in the hands of my own son, hahaha!"
"Bang!"
Just when everyone looked at the head of the family who suddenly became crazy and laughing, wondering why, the door of the Drizzt family was knocked open!
"Raise your hands and don't move at all!"
A large number of heavily armed personnel rushed in and quickly took everyone in the Scott family under control.
"Harvey, look what good you did!"
When Ed walked in, he punched Harvey directly!
"Ed. Do you think if I did it, I would still be here waiting for you to catch me? I want to fight for power, but there is no way I will betray the Federation or humanity!"
"Is it true that Wood rescued Dolan, kidnapped Liang Xue and led the Oaks Empire fleet to invade?"
"No, I'll tell you the whole thing now, I hope it's not too late?"
"Um?"
ten minutes later.
"This is what happened, I didn't hide anything!"
"Then how do you explain Wood's behavior? And how do you explain that Oaks' fleet took advantage of your arrangement and sent 30,000 troops directly to us?"
"I just figured this out! Do you remember how Wood returned to the Scott family?"
After hearing Harvey's words, Ed's eyes suddenly widened, and a chill rose from his back!
"Could it be that what happened 7 years ago was actually true?"
