On the day something happened on the Black Arrow Star, Gu Hang already knew the news.
He also built an astrological tower. Although the power is very small, it can only be used as an interstellar phone. Unlike some awesome astrological towers, it can be directly used as a cross-galaxy TV tower and can carry out a Live broadcasts between multiple galaxies are of high value, whether as political propaganda or cultural products.
Gu Hang also wants to build this in the future, but the cost is not low, and interstellar communication is now available, which is barely enough. The plan to build a bigger and better Star Tower is not a high priority for the time being. .
On this day, he had to receive a communication request from his cousin. On the starship, he informed him of the changes that had taken place on the Black Arrow star, as well as the information about the civil strife and confrontation between the fourteen Gu's trading fleets that had gathered in the Black Arrow galaxy.
He started making preparations immediately.
First of all, the army began to gather on a large scale.
At this point, it is quite smooth.
A few months ago, the main force of the alliance fought a battle to pacify the three eastern provinces. It was Yan Fangxu who commanded the Central Army Group. Then, after the eastern provinces were pacified and the local militia and security teams were formed, the main army returned and began to rest. The soldiers even got a relatively long vacation.
Then, even if there was a war in the northern border, the main force of the Central Army Group did not move. The Northern Army Group was basically formed by relying on some newly formed troops.
Early on, Army Group Center had resumed training and ended the holidays for most soldiers.
At this moment, war was called, and the entire Central Army quickly completed its pre-war preparations.
The number of people Gu Hang planned to bring with him was not very large. There were only a total of thirty-five thousand people prepared, namely the 1st Brigade, 2nd Division, 13th Brigade and 36th Brigade.
One of the most important troops is the Xifeng Brigade.
This unit has recently undergone a new round of reorganization. First of all, the tank companies in the five combined battalions are all supported by full Lion tanks. Unlike other combined brigades, there are actually only two tank companies;
Originally, each combined battalion The two motorized infantry companies in the battle were all replaced by armored infantry companies;
An additional tank battalion was also formed.
As a result, the total strength of the Xi Feng Brigade has not increased. It is still more than 8,000 people, but it has more than 300 armored vehicles of various types and 75 Lion tanks.
If you count the two ordinary mechanized brigades of the 13th and 36th, there will be more than a hundred Lion tanks assembled
In terms of infantry, the 2nd Infantry Division There are tens of thousands of people.
This is the composition of the thirty-five thousand troops that Gu Hang will bring.
In addition, there are hundreds of wind falcons as an air force formation, and the reason why there are three more fifteen space warriors than the previous twelve is because there are three more previously trained warrior, completed the growth of all superhuman organs and reached the qualifying target.
It’s not that we don’t want to bring more troops, we just need to consider the carrying capacity.
Strictly speaking, Gu Hang does not have interstellar-level troop projection channels.
Even if Gu’s Trading Company is included, it’s the same.
Before, when my mother left, she left two ships in the orbit of the Raging Owl. However, under the current situation, these two ships are of no use.
Here we have to mention the difference between the Chamber of Commerce fleet and the serious naval fleet.
In other words, it is the difference between civilian ships and warships.
That is not just the difference between having weapons and equipment. The cost of the two of the same size can differ ten times or even dozens of times.
Starships built as warships have huge differences in hull strength, materials used, initial design structures for various military purposes, and power. .
These will be reflected in the final combat effectiveness.
The two ships that Ms. Wang Qi left in the Nu Xiao Galaxy can transport 30,000 people and equipment across a galaxy to the Black Arrow Star under peaceful conditions. That is very easy;
But now, the Black Arrow Star is blocked, and Wang Jiarong jumps anxiously, but he can’t even send a spaceship that can evacuate Wang Qi to the surface. Even if he risks sending one up regardless of the cost, then Being shot down by orbital air defense during evacuation, or being intercepted and blown up in the galaxy space are all unbearable losses.
The same goes for Gu Hang if he wants to project his troops. Civilian ships can transport people and equipment, but transport spacecraft that serve as a link between starships and the surface are truly undefended.
If one ship explodes during the landing, it will be a loss of hundreds or thousands of people, plus a large amount of equipment.
Even based on the most optimistic estimate, the orbital defense on the Black Arrow star is regarded as the most incompetent, and the four caravan fleets that obey Gu Ming are all regarded as fools, but just If we carry out the operation of crossing the sea in a bathtub, it would be good if half of the landing ships can land smoothly in the end.
There are nearly 10,000 to 20,000 people, and they are reimbursed in the process of troop projection
Such a loss is unacceptable to Gu Hang.
And here, the value of warships is reflected.
Warships are the ones that are serious about fighting naval battles. They are able to control the target star field and suppress the ground's orbital air defense. This makes the process of projecting troops to the ground much safer.
Even in the most unfavorable situation, we still have to carry out orbital air defense and hard-deliver troops. The serious landing ship equipped on the warship has both deception and camouflage, energy shield protection, and armor. It is also harder and the probability of loss is much lower.
Of course, let alone Gu Hang, even the Gu family does not have warships.
For businessmen, it is too expensive to maintain your own warships, so there is no need. Have that money, just build armed merchant ships, not drag them out to fight naval battles with other large forces. If you really need it, then you might as well try to build relationships and seek escort help from the Imperial Navy. Anyway, it will definitely be more cost-effective than raising your own warships.
This is how businessmen think.
And now, Gu Hang wants a warship to help, what should he do?
There is really only one parked in the orbit of the angry owl star.
The Blade Tiger.
This starship that took over the Quintet and came to the space of Angry Owl for support is his current hope.
Of course, with this frigate, it is impossible to break through the blockade of the four chamber of commerce fleets controlled by Gu Ming. Even though the addition of the Blade Tiger will bring considerable help to the other eight Wang Qi camp fleets, this help is not decisive.
He could not expect that with this frigate, he could suppress the orbital anti-aircraft firepower of the capital of the Luman Kingdom.
It’s almost the same after changing the quintet number.
However, what Gu Hang wants to achieve with the help of the Blade Tiger is not to defeat the star field power possessed by his enemy purely by force.
But the skin of the Imperial Navy.
The Blade Tiger is a serious warship of the Imperial Navy. When it arrived at the Black Arrow Galaxy, it swaggered into the orbit of the Black Arrow Star in front of both parties. Without the Blade Tiger taking the lead in firing, would Gu Ming's fleet and the Luman Kingdom's orbital force have the guts to fight
Gu Hang judged that they did not.
If they did this, they would be really crazy.
The only remaining problem is how to make the Blade Tiger willing to carry his army to the Black Arrow Star.
As long as his army gets there, saving his mother is the most basic thing.
Gu Hang felt that he could gain more.
Gu Hang first communicated with the naval officers on the Blade Tiger.
Although Yelicia is not the captain, it is obvious that she is the one who calls the shots on that starship now.
However, she did not dare to directly agree to Gu Hang’s request.
"Personally, I want to help you, but I don't believe those people dare to attack the Imperial Navy. But just because we are the Imperial Navy, there are some things that I can't do without getting. Do it under the authority of a higher level.”
This is Ye Lixia’s exact words.
"What level of authorization do you need?"
"At least the order from the commander of the Pegasus fleet, Vice Admiral Tielemans."
Gu Hang Recalling the situation of the Pegasus fleet and the so-called Lieutenant General Tilemance.
The Pegasus Fleet is the main fleet of the empire stationed in the Pegasus Star Region. Its defense area is not limited to the Pegasus Star Region, but affects the star defense missions of at least three surrounding star regions. The commander of the fleet is also directly appointed by the Imperial Navy.
But that’s the caseSaid that at least half of the long-term maintenance and construction costs of the Pegasus fleet come from the taxes of the Pegasus star region. The influence of the political arena in the Tianma Star Region on this fleet is self-evident.
The local naval family in the Tianma Star District, the Fofana family, was formed about seventy years ago.
General Fofana of that generation was appointed as the commander of the Pegasus Fleet, and he flourished during his tenure, gradually forming a family.
After the first General Fofana, his younger brother, his grandson, and great-grandson all held this position, firmly imprinting the name Fofana in the DNA of the Pegasus Fleet.
The last Commander Fofana was Yelicia's grandfather, who resigned eight years ago.
The Fofana family has a profound influence in the Pegasus Fleet. For two-thirds of the past seventy years, the commander-in-chief of the Pegasus Fleet has been named Fofana. A large number of middle and high-level fleet officers were funded and promoted by his family.
But what’s embarrassing is that after Yelicia’s grandfather resigned, the family suddenly fell apart. Although its influence on the fleet is still strong, it is difficult for the family itself to find a person with sufficient qualifications and achievements to serve as the commander-in-chief of the fleet. At present, the highest military rank in the family is one of Yelicia's uncles, who is only a major general, and it seems that there is no chance to go further.
This in itself is nothing. In the past seventy years, there have been twenty years when the Pegasus fleet was not named Fofana. This is a dormant period, no big deal.
What's more, there is an unexpected rising star like Ye Lixia in the family. After another ten years of growth, she might have the chance to take over.
Under Gu Hang's instigation, she participated in and defeated the green-skinned orc raiding fleet, which brought her great glory. She was the one who enjoyed the greatest victory in that naval battle.
From this perspective, the Fofana family should be willing to help him.
This can also be analyzed from Ye Lixia’s words just now.
Moreover, Fofana has a good relationship with the Gu family. Although this is a civil war between the Gu family and they have no preference, they chose to bet on Wang Qi's side, which will undoubtedly be further consolidated after the victory. relationship between the parties.
Although the current commander, General Tilemance, is not from the Fofana family, the relationship between the two parties is not shallow.
He was originally from the Pegasus Fleet, but was later transferred to another place, made a name for himself, and sat in the position of Lieutenant General, and was transferred back to the Pegasus Fleet. After returning, he also knew that if he did not have a good relationship with Fofana as commander, he would not be able to think of the Pegasus fleet being safe.
The Fofana family is not that kind of local bully. They respect Tilemance very much. Anyway, no one in the family can push him forward, so it is better to establish a good relationship with the current incumbent and give him the necessary support. .
The cooperation between the two parties has been quite good in the past eight years.
To put it bluntly, if there is a Fofana familyWith the family's persuasion, especially the intervention of the previous commander and General Tilemance's old boss, the old General Fofana, this matter can probably be settled.
He talked to Ye Lixia about this matter again. In this private exchange, the female Commodore promised Gu Hang that she would talk to her grandfather, who was the former Commander of the Pegasus Fleet, Have a chat with old General Fofana.
But there is another person whose attitude is very important: the leader of the sector, Mr. Peters.
This person has the best relationship with the Fofana family.
After the second call with Ye Lixia, Gu Hang thought for a moment and made another call with Mr. Pedes.
Of course Peddes also learned about what happened on the Black Arrow Star.
Gu Hang just exchanged a few sentences with him and roughly understood the other person's attitude.
The leader of the sector obviously saw this as an opportunity.
The political power of the Pegasus Sector is mainly the two camps fighting against the local forces and the Sector Government.
The local forces refer to the Faches family, which controls the governorship of three planets. They have a history of thousands of years in the Pegasus sector. They have been living here even before the empire recovered. In the three star systems of Farches 1, 2, and 3, they all have deep-rooted control. The Imperial Astra Militarum's garrison in the Pegasus Sector also has a lot to do with them.
As for the star district government, it is dominated by the Peders brothers. One of them is the head of the star district and the other is the governor of the Winged Star. Together with the navy of the Fofana family and the chamber of commerce of the Gu family, they formed an iron triangle that has suppressed the Faches family for twenty years.
However, in recent years, the Gu family has broken away from this iron triangle, expanded its business beyond the Tianma Star District, and has a tendency to reconcile with the Fachers family.
This is also the background for Gu Hang to be appointed as the governor of the Raging Owl Star. It is a trick played by leader Pedsi. But this incident failed to firmly tie the Gu family back to the position of the iron triangle as Pedes had hoped. Instead, it made Wang Qi very disgusted with it.
But similarly, Gu Ming seized this opportunity and maintained a relatively good relationship with Pedes.
Before Gu Hang made the interstellar phone call to Pedes, Gu Ming also called.
