Chapter 168: The Battle of Mstare (3)
A fleet of 200 spaceships is being assembled. These spaceships have a uniform blue and white painting, and are sprayed with a gear-like logo-this is the symbol of the Gctic Republic Navy.
However, even with the logo of the Gctic Republic Navy, this fleet is still extremely shabbypared to the Republic Judicial Fleet, which is declining but still has many kilometer-ss Cruisers and Heavy Cruisers.
The core of the fleet is a Dreadnought-ss Heavy Cruiser, a Battleship with a length of 600 meters, which is the core ship type of the judicial fleet. However, this Dreadnought-ss Heavy Cruiser can clearly see the oldness of the hull, and it is obviously a model eliminated from the main fleet.
In addition, there are 20 Consr-ss Light Assault Cruisers and 60 CSS-1 Corellian Star Shuttles. The former is 115 meters long, and thetter is 80 meters long. From this point of view, having 80 spaceships with a length of about 100 meters should be enough to beat the Corporate Alliance. Most of them are small spaceships with a length of 3 to 50 meters.
However, both the Consr-ss Light Assault Cruiser and the CSS-1 Corellian Star Shuttle are actually passenger spaceships, which are used by officials at all levels of the Republic to go to various parts of the Gxy to handle official and diplomatic affairs.
In an era when the military expenditure of the Gctic Republic is decreasing day by day, and even the Judicial Fleet is difficult to guarantee the recement of warships, let alone the defense fleets in these ces, it is good to have a few ships that can be used.
Therefore, arge number of CSS-1 and Consr-ss Light Assault Cruisers have undergone simple modifications, adding weapon pods, and more or less have somebat capabilities. But they are still passenger spaceships in essence, and it is useless to expect how muchbat power these spaceships can have.
In addition, there are as many as 120 PB-950 Patrol Boats in the fleet. This 37-meter-long small Patrol Boat was already a product of the Corellian Engineering Corporation 300 years ago. Because it was cheap and practical, it produced tens of thousands of huge quantities. It belongs to the regional defense fleets of the Gctic Republic, goods that can be seen everywhere.
A shuttle flew into the formation of the fleet and flew towards the Dreadnought-ss Heavy Cruiser ''Lord'' as the gship. The Cruiser hangar tform opened to wee the Shuttle.
A young general about 30 years old, wearing a dark blue Republic Navy uniform and moustache, stepped off the shuttle, saluted the captain who came to greet him, and said, "I am a military officer sent by the Republic. Observer, Captain Wullf Yren, is here to assist you in this operation."
After Ruusan''s reform, the Gxy basically abandoned all military-rted things, so the military ranks of the Gctic Republic army were not high at this time. As the captain of the navy, Wullf Yren can alreadymand a small fleet. And he has the direct appointment of the Supreme Chancellor, Finis Valorum, so others have nothing to say about this appointment.
"Hello, Captain Yren." The captain also gave a military salute, "Now that all the spaceships have assembled, these are the only spaceships we can find."
"Actually, having a Dreadnought-ss Heavy Cruiser is beyond my expectations. I believe that the pirates found by the Corporate Alliance are not capable of fighting this giant ship." Wullf Yren was very calm Speaking of.
"Let''s go, let''s go to the bridge." The captain didn''t say much but just led Yren towards themand center of the bridge.
Walking out of the hangar, you can see that the spaceship is crowded with people almost everywhere. Even if the air filter is fully operating, the air is still filled with the smell of sweat and feet.
Wullf Yren frowned slightly, but he also understood the reasonthis is an old model of the Dreadnought-ss Heavy Cruiser. Although this spaceship is 600 meters long, there are as many as 16,200 people in it! Almost every valve on this battleship needs manual maniption, which is extremely inefficient.
Soter, the Gctic Republic Army put forward a request for improvement to the manufacturer of the Dreadnought-ss Heavy Cruiser, Rendili Hyperworks. Later, Lundili''s engineers dide up with a modification n, reducing the crew of the Battleship from 16,200 to 2,204, and also recing the weapon system and energy system, greatly improving thebat effectiveness.
It''s just that I don''t know what happenedter. The Judicial Fleet of the Republic originally wanted to order 300 new Dreadnought-ss Heavy Cruisers, but only 100 were actually in ce. No one can say for sure what happened in the middle, but it can only be thought that a certain official lord ate up the price difference.
Since it is an old model of the Dreadnought-ss Heavy Cruiser, thebat power needs to be recalcted. Wullf Yren began to calcte in his mind theparison of thebat effectiveness of the two sides in this battle, simting thebat process over and over again.
When he came to the bridge, Wullf Yren carefully counted the number of spaceships in the fleet, "20 Consr-ss Light Assault Cruisers, 60 CSS-1 Corellian Star Shuttles, 100 PB-950 Patrol Boats, and 1 Dreadnought-ss Heavy Cruiser... What about the Fighters? ?"
"There are 12 Z-95 Headhunter Fighters on our Dreadnought-ss Heavy Cruiser, and this is all our Fighters." The captain said.
Yren nodded, "The Z-95 Headhunter Fighter has excellent performance, and it is definitely enough to deal with the spaceships of pirates and bounty hunters. I have a battle n..."
He began to arrange his own warships on the holographic projection star map and said at the same time: "Because our main spaceships, the Consr-ss Light Assault Cruiser and the Corellian Star Shuttle, are refitted from transport ships, the firepower is actually not a big problem, but thergest of these ships The weakness is theck of flexibility. So what we need is to keep a distance, relying on 12 Z-95 Headhunter Fighters to defend the integrity of our battleship line, and then destroy the opponent with powerful frontal firepower!"
The captain nodded and said, "Okay, you are themander of this battle, and I agree with your judgment."
Yren added: "In addition, ording to our intelligence, among the pirates and mercenaries hired by the Corporate Alliance at arge price, there is a huge number of Sycudian pirates. I have fought these pirates before, and the number of their spaceships There are many, but thebat power is very weak, and most of them are modified ships. In fact, if these modified ships were not extremely adaptable by the Sycudians, they would not be able to drive them at all, and they would have died on board if they were reced by humans."
The captain said: "I understand what you mean. If the battle situation turns into a melee, then the situation is definitely not good for us. But we have a Dreadnought ss and 80rge ships with a length of 100 meters. Relying on the superiority of firepower to make that rabble, If we can''t organize at all we''ll have a chance to win!"
"That''s right. The Corporate Alliance will also have spaceships participating, but thergest of their spaceships should be the 200-meter-long Fantail-ss Destroyer. The performance of this kind of warship is average, and the Corporate Alliance does not dare to mass-produce. Most importantly, I don''t think a group of merchants will fight." Wullf Yren said confidently.
"Hahahaha! It looks like you have a n in mind. If that''s the case, I don''t have anything to worry about!"
"That''s it. Hand over the battle n to the captains of the ships, and get ready to go!" Captain Wullf Yren gave instructions confidently.
