The Strongest Interstellar Commander

Chapter 93: Running out of ammunition and food

Views:

A whole day has passed since the human fleet entered the capital area of the Oaks Empire!

In the orbit of Emperor Star Oaks, there is a giant fortress, which is the base of the Royal Fleet.

The entire fortress combines the best of imperial technology and took a full 50 years to build. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is comparable to half of the royal fleet. If the royal fleet and the fortress cooperate in defense, then even if Lin Fan loses 65,000 Even a battleship with a shield would not dare to attack!

Of course, Lin Fan had never considered fighting hard. At this moment, he was still commanding the fleet to capture the life-changing planets and resource stars one by one.

The capital area where the Emperor Star is located is indeed not comparable to other star systems. The planets are like fortresses and fully armed. Even after the battleships cleared most of the heavy weapons and bases at fixed points in orbit, there are still a large number of Armed forces are hidden in various industrial areas.

After all, this place will belong to the Federation from now on. Lin Fan will not directly choose to destroy the resource mining base and other industrial bases, otherwise it will take who knows how many years to be redeveloped.

The three commanders combined, and finally relied on mechas and assault ships to carry out airborne landings. The warships existed as artillery units, and the ground troops after airborne could call for artillery strikes at any time.

After paying a small price, although they have gained control of most of the planets, there is still a lot of resistance.

In this regard, Lin Fan's order is not to hit hard, we have plenty of time, just push slowly and gradually.

If some of the more troublesome industrial areas fail, just let the warships clear them out directly. There is no need to protect all industrial areas 100%. The lives of soldiers should be the first priority.

Three days later, the 12 life-changing planets and 27 resource stars were basically all under control, leaving only some sporadic resistance that could not be achieved.

Until the fifth day after the war, there was no resistance on the 39 small planets.

At this time, Ramiro's eyes were red in the fortress. In the past few days, he had received several reports every day, all from troops on various planets.

The news was all clear, information about the fall and requests for help. Finally, on the fourth day, all the planets’ fallen galaxies arrived.

"Damn humans, 39 planets have been given to you. Now you can come over and fight to the death!"

Ramiro gritted his teeth and muttered to himself while looking at the tactical scene in the capital area.

In his logic, the goal of mankind is to capture the entire capital area, so as long as he waits here on the Emperor Star, mankind will eventually come over and fight to the death with him.

Unfortunately, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

One day has passed, and 39 human fleets are still in orbit around the planets.

Three days have passed and it's still the same.

Ten days have passed and there is still no movement from humans.

It has been fifteen days since the war started, and Ramiro can't sit still.

What are these humans doing? They have controlled all the planets, but ten days have passed without any action

"His Majesty!"

A guard trotted up to Lamie in a panic.

"Why are you panicking? How do you behave? If you have anything to say, tell me immediately!"

"Yes, there was a report just now from the Emperor Star. Since the resource supply of other planets has been cut off for 15 days, there will soon be a resource shortage on the Emperor Star!"

Since Imperial Star Oaks is the capital of the entire empire, the planet does not have any industrial base and does not carry out any resource extraction, so it is quite well protected.

But there is also a problem, that is, energy, food, industrial products, etc., must be supplied by other planets in the capital area.

Now that the transportation chain has been cut off, Emperor Star has not received resource replenishment for fifteen days. If this continues, within a month, problems will begin to arise in all aspects.

Industrial products are okay, but once energy and food are exhausted, the entire planet will have big problems.

"Why are you so anxious? In this critical moment, tell them to save whatever resources they can and try to hold on for me for as long as possible!"

"yes!"

Ramiro, who was currently irritable, obviously did not realize Lin Fan's plan until the forty-second day after the war.

The guard ran to Ramiro again.

"Your Majesty, I am reporting from the Emperor Star that in terms of energy, we have been using limited amounts of energy recently, so we can still last for a while, but in terms of food, we can no longer hold on, and all the food stores will be used up tomorrow."

"Um?"

At this time, Ramiro came to his senses and seemed to have caught something. But before he could think about it, Piero, the captain of the Emperor and the deputy commander of the Royal Fleet, also arrived in front of him.

"Your Majesty, there is going to be a problem with the fleet's supplies. The current supplies on the fortress can only sustain the fleet for another month at most."

Since Oaks' empire currently uses nuclear energy, but the key nuclear raw materials do not exist on Oaks at all, the resources in the capital area are very abundant on the stars, enough to last the capital area for hundreds of thousands of years.

The problem is that nuclear raw materials need to be transported to Ox Planet, but now, all resource planets have been occupied by humans, and transportation has been cut off for a full month and a half.

Not to mention that the planet is no longer worthy of its name, even the Royal Fleet will have problems over time.

Everyone knows that humans have jump engines, so it is impossible for warships to turn off their engines and park in the fortress. Instead, hundreds of thousands of warships are in a state of combat readiness at all times, which consumes huge amounts of energy every day. Under this consumption, the fortress The reserve energy is only enough to last another month.

"Damn humans, I asked you why there has been no movement at all for more than a month. It turns out that you are waiting for us to destroy ourselves!"

"Your Majesty, we must find a way to force humans to fight us. If we delay it any longer, we will destroy ourselves without humans attacking."

Piero said eagerly to Ramiro.

On the other side, several astronomical units away, inside the bridge of the Ouranos.

"Commander Liang, how long do you think they can support it?"

"Well, according to our previous research on the battleships of the Ox Empire, they are still using the same nuclear-powered ones as we have before. Currently, all their battleships are in a state of combat readiness. Without supplies, I think They shouldn't last more than three months."

"But it's been such a long time. The other party should have understood our intentions. I'm more curious about what countermeasures they will take?"

Lin Fan smiled. In fact, there was still a way to counter his shameless tactics, but...

No matter what the method was, Lin Fan had already prepared countermeasures in his heart!

"Commander, the opposing fleet has dispatched!"
