1117 , the hemp rod beats the wolf

After the Commander II-class dreadnoughts arrived on the battlefield, the fleet strength of both sides reversed again.

The Galactic Republic has 2 Commander II-class dreadnoughts, 81 Chaser-class battlecruisers, and a terrifying 18,000+ fighter swarms!

The Fourth Civilization has an Ankron-class titan battleship, 104 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, 20 Cole-class battlecruisers, 9 Dunov-class battlecruisers, and 12 Marthclass guided missile heavy cruisers. 5 Sovclass aircraft carriers and 3 Rookie Hook-class battleships.

In the blink of an eye, the fleet of the Fourth Civilization has an absolute advantage, but it is not.

Because the Galactic Republic's 81 Chaser-class battlecruisers were actually all aviation warships, their fighter swarms amounted to a terrifying 18,000+!

In contrast, the fighter formation of the Fourth Civilization had gone through a series of offensive and defensive battles and bombings on Planet Eliadu, and there were only more than 4,000 left, and half of them were vulture robot fighters.

In fact, if it wasn't for Tang Xiao's secret rebirth plan in the Fourth Civilization, which gave many fighter pilots the chance to be reborn through consciousness transfer, the fighter pilots of the Fourth Civilization would have been exhausted long ago!

Since the start of the war, more than 30,000 fighter pilots have been killed before and after the Fourth Civilization. This is also the result of the Fourth Civilization's extensive use of vulture robot fighters to supplement the front. The loss of fighter jets is second, and the loss of pilots is the real fatality.

The Fourth Civilization now has more than 30 pilot academies, and the number of pilots provided each year does not exceed 6,000, which cannot keep up with the consumption of the war.

Especially things like pilots, pilot academies, and naval academies rely on accumulation and heritage, rather than if you invest some money and just build it up and you're done.

The background, the fourth civilization is really bad.

Fortunately, there is a rebirth plan, otherwise the fourth civilization can only rely on the vulture robot fighter to prop up its own fighter line, and the result will be disastrous.

So in fact, the biggest reason why the Galactic Republic has started counterattacks on all fronts and has a certain advantage is the advantage of battleship technology.

Chaser-class battlecruiser, as an aviation warship, its combat capability can exceed Higrclass, Generous-class and Disobedient-class, although not as good as Cole-class and Divine-will-class, but there is no qualitative difference. But if you count the more than 400 fighters on board, then all these types of warships can't do the Chaser class.

In the final analysis, it is a dual reflection of technical advantages and heritage. If a battle cruiser can't draw the opposite aircraft carrier, it must be your own technical problem. People can carry 400 fighter jets on one warship and fill up the rotation of pilot belts. That is the problem of heritage.

Strictly speaking, the firepower of the Cole-class can definitely kill the Chaser-class, but the biggest uncertainty is the current bullet speed of the super-material electromagnetic gun, and the distance cannot be guaranteed to hit.

Therefore, in this military reform, the behemoth-class battlecruisers equipped with energy axis cannons and cannons are favored, because in the previous small-scale battles, it has been proved that the chariot-class only dares to fight against the behemoth-class. , that is definitely the end of the shipwreck!

Ling Liang asked his fleet to withdraw to the orbit of the planet Eliadu, which was the reason.

Because the Galactic Republic's reinforcements not only brought a large number of fighters, but also brought two Commander II dreadnoughts! This gave the Xuanwu a great pressure.

The Republic Fleet did not intend to let go of the Fourth Civilization. Their fleet destroyed the space factory built by the Fourth Civilization near Planet 5 Tarastella during the previous offensive and defensive battle, and then the army rushed to Planet 4. Planet Eliadu!

"Commander II dreadnought... It looks as ugly as a hunchback. Is there any more information?" At the command center of the Xuanwu bridge, General Ling asked the intelligence department.

What she said was right. Compared with the elongated Commander-level, the Commander II had a significantly larger dome structure, so it really looked like a hunchback [Note 1].

"At present, our Ministry of Military Intelligence has not received any information related to sea trials, and the Commander II has not been put into actual combat before. But... just heard such a statement from some shipbuilders at the Quat Power Dock... ' said an intelligence official.

"What do you say?"

"It is said that in a simulated battle, about three Disobedient-class light destroyers can compete with one Chaser-class battlecruiser. And Commander II-class dreadnoughts can fight 1,000 Disobedient-class ships..." said the intelligence department official. .

"Is there a specific argument to support this exaggerated conclusion?" Ling Liang frowned, she completely disagreed with this obviously exaggerated statement.

"Yes. The maximum output of the Commander II-level engine is almost 200 times higher than the maximum output of the Chaser-level..." said the official of the intelligence department, "In comparison, the maximum output of the Xuanwu is about 13.4210 26th power W, It is about 400 times that of the Chaser class. From a purely numerical comparison, it is entirely possible for the opponent to destroy the Xuanwu, and judging from the movement of the Republic fleet, they do indeed plan to do so.

"Okay, so what about actually?" Ling Liang asked.

The engineering department scientist on the side took over the conversation directly, "Actually, if it is calculated according to the energy level, it is indeed impossible for the backward main gun of the Disobedient to penetrate the shield of the Commander II dreadnought, so in this kind of The numbers piled up in this situation are all inflated. Can I still say that our Xuanwu can resist 10,000 Disobedients? Does it make sense? So in fact, I suggest that General, you can directly drive the Xuanwu to their face. go up."

"The Xuanwu can really resist 10,000 Disobedient Class ships?"

"Definitely not, that's 10,000 ships!" The Engineering Department scientist answered decisively.

"After deducting his coffee supply for the next month, he will only give vegetarian food for three meals~www.mtlnovel.com~ Ling Liang turned his head and said to the T-series tactical robot with an expressionless face.

"Roger." Many times, T-series tactical robots are quite good as lieutenants.

Meanwhile, the flagship of the Galactic Republic fleet, the Commander II-class dreadnought USS Rosana.

"General, our tactical computer has undergone more than 4,000 simulations. Even if reinforcements have been received, the probability of our fleet being able to defeat the separatist fleet is less than 20%..." The staff officer walked over and said.

"So in the case of victory, in what way did it win?" Admiral Theoster asked.

"Through a wide range of maneuvers, the opponent's Xuanwu can't put turtle shells on all the battleships..." said the staff officer.

"Such a result is obviously not enough. What if we concentrate the strength of two Commander II ships to directly attack the Xuanwu body?" Theoster asked.

"I've tried it, but it's very difficult. The other party pays great attention to the formation of the Xuanwu, and it's almost impossible to create such an opportunity for a surprise beheading," said the staff officer.

Theoster looked at the spherical defensive formation formed by the Separatist fleet on the holographic star map, and frowned.

[Note 1: The Commander II battleship has only appeared in Star Wars novels or text materials, so there are no pictures. Moreover, there is a hunchback-like dome structure on the battleship. This sentence is the only shape description that can be found.
