Chapter 105： Stir the water so that you can fish

There are four military regions on the Odin continent. Similarly, the entire continent can be divided into four regions, namely the east, the central, the southwest, and the northwest.

Southwest: There is the largest mountain range on the Odin continent-the Kulunsk mountain range, and it is also the most important mineral resource base of Crotan Star. There are countless large and small mines here. Iridium, a Many mineral resources such as cobalt are produced here. I think that when the base was just built, the transport aircraft transporting minerals such as source zero, iridium, cobalt, manganese, and rare earths could almost cover the sky in the southwest.

To this day, this mineral resource base is dwindling, and it will no longer be prosperous. However, general metal and non-metal minerals such as rare earths, diamonds, petroleum, zinc, iron, and manganese still have not low output.

Northwest China: Crotan Star Metal Smelting and Heavy Military Industrial Zone. Relying on the mineral resource base in the southwest, there are a large number of heavy military factories and various weapons and machinery laboratories. For example, frigate-level naval guns, land warfare armored vehicles, power armor, space fighters, armed shuttle components, etc., are all produced.

In its heyday, the magnificent No. 0 source element refining factory was once built here, but with the depletion of rare resources. Most of the cutting-edge equipment was dismantled and transported away, and only a few foundation buildings remained, still telling the past glory of Crotan.

Central area: As the backbone of the entire Odin continent, it is bordered by mineral resources and military industrial areas to the west and the Sunaru River alluvial plain to the east. Its military and economic significance is self-evident. This is the most prosperous area in Crotan. The capital Rheinston is located at the birthplace of the Sunaru River-Miluo Plateau. Countless dignitaries, government officials gathered here, enjoying the comfortable life brought to them by the Marquis of Kane Rudolf.

It can be said unceremoniously that Rheinston is a paradise for the rich and **** for the poor. Those who can live here either have money or have the right.

Of course, poor people also have the opportunity to live here, provided that you are beautiful enough or handsome enough. Being burly and robust is also a selling point. Well, before that, you have to forget about yourself and throw away that **** self-esteem.

Eastern area: It consists of the alluvial plains on the north and south banks of the Sunaru River, Lut Bay, the Gunte Mountains in the northwest, the Diromos Plateau, and the Suha hills in the southeast. It is an important planting industry base for Crotan. The grain, vegetables, and oil crops it produces are not supplied to the local area, and are also exported to other parts of the empire. It is an important source of income for the Rudolf family.

Crotan star is transitioning from a fading resource star to an agricultural star. There is no doubt that this transformation has been very successful. It can be seen from this that Kane Rudolph is a very economical guy.

There are four defense military districts in each of the four regions. The Sunaru Military District where the Eastern First Army is stationed, the Miluo Military District where the Central Second Army is stationed, the Kulensk Military District where the Southwest Third Army is stationed, and the Termon Military District where the Northwest Fourth Army is stationed.

After the García rebels occupied the Drosnil naval port, they did not rush to head-to-head with the military and fight a decisive battle, but at the same time infiltrating the revolutionary elements into the western part of the Odin continent. Vigorously promote the guerrilla tactics in the east. On the one hand, it recruits comrades and forms alliances. On the other hand, it focuses its attacks on the military's war-preparation material reserves to achieve the goal of arming itself with enemy weapons and expanding its strategic advantages bit by bit.

Since most military satellites have been destroyed by electromagnetic pulse missiles, the existing satellite network is not enough to provide a global level of surveillance. As a result, in the guerrilla mode of gophers burrowing, the military forces are like a farmer in the countryside. I had a headache and my feet hurt. I was led by the nose to run around by the insurgents, exhausted.

With the military strength of the First Corps, three divisions were taken away to surround the Drosnil naval port, and the remaining troops were simply not enough to form a powerful deterrent to the raging war situation in the eastern region.

Most of the rich and powerful are cowards, and Aldridge is no exception. He dared not send the Second Army guarding the capital to the eastern region to counter the rebellion.

As for the third and fourth legions, there are also many inconveniences.

The garrison point of the Third Army is a mineral resource base. Once a large number of troops are drawn away, in case those full-time infiltration and sabotage guys take advantage of the situation to make small moves, it will be a pot of porridge to protect the third area. You must know that the entire lower space of the Kulensk Mountains has been hollowed out, and the depths of the mine pit extend to the West Sea. If this is a few firecrackers, "Boom...Boom...Boom..." .

Draw the Fourth Army to counter the rebellion? Unless the brain is broken, the rebel army was originally equipped with outdated equipment, relying on looting military supplies to equip itself, and once the Fourth Army left, wouldn’t the military industrial enterprises and mechanical research institutes be like the SE, XY goddesses with open arms, the hillbillies Is there any reason why Tu Lao Mao does not embrace it?

The Second Army did not dare to move, and the Third and Fourth Army could not move. The entire Crotan Star Wars can be said to have fallen into a very delicate situation. The five divisions of the First Corps became firefighters and were forced to fight fires everywhere, but the scale of the uprising was like a snowball, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and the two Union armies of Northern Jiangsu and Southern Jiangsu were like two sharp knives hanging in Austria. Derich's throat.

……

The above is the information that Tang Fang learned about Crotan’s possession from Grant’s mouth. The amount of data was huge. After digesting it for a long time, he came back to his senses and asked: "Why didn’t Aldridge tell the stars? The Hong Kong Garrison asks for help."

It turns out that Marquis Kane Rudolph is not only very economically savvy, but also has a good political and military skills. Aldridge, who is in charge of managing the Crottan star, and the fleet stationed in Star Harbor, responsible for the defense of the Aslam star system. The commander, Brigadier General Ramsden Adams, was somewhat disagreeable.

During the hostilities between the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire, a star port in Nuo Da was almost entirely occupied by military forces. Later, the two countries stopped making peace. In order to show sufficient sincerity, both sides cut the border troops stationed by more than half. The Marquis of Kane transferred the main fleet, leaving only a few combat ships stationed here.

Ramsden Adams, as the commander of the fleet, also controls the power of Starport. Due to the declining resources of Crottan, under the intervention of the Marquis of Kane, this resource planet is transforming into an agricultural planet. Because these agricultural products were sold as commodities to the empire and other nobles, and even exported to countries such as the Sulu Empire, the Turanx United Kingdom, and the Republic of Date. Transportation is naturally an unavoidable problem.

Cargo ships from different parts of the empire gathered here and must berth. Ramsden Adams spotted this once-in-a-lifetime profitable opportunity, renting out most of the idle berths to family members at very low prices, and then using them for commercial purposes. The port's charging standard, charging parking fees, the Adams family has since gained a fortune.

This incident was seen by Aldridge, with a grudge in his heart. As a result, he hadn't dealt with Ramsden. Secondly, he has always been in charge of the economy. Ramsden’s job is a soldier, but he stretches his hands on economic affairs, which is unbearable. Thirdly, as a living planet, why does Crotan need so many troops? And the three armies, land, sea and air, planetary defense force? Who is it against? A discerning person knows at a glance that he is not stupid, and naturally knows what to do next.

Aldridge filed a complaint to report Ramsden’s dirty business to the Marquis of Kane, bluntly saying that he used his power to seek personal gain for the family, as a high-level military officer, and doing so would be like a lost soldier.

The Marquis of Kane was furious and sent a severely worded warning letter to Ramsden, and ordered him to give up half of the right to use Starport to Aldridge to facilitate management.

So far, one of the fortunes of the Adams family has been ruined in Aldridge's hands. Although Ramsden didn't say anything, he still hated him.

At this moment, how could he not know that such a big event happened to Crotan, but on the one hand, Aldridge did not lower his head high up like a white swan and come to him for help. On the other hand, he actually wanted to let this insecure guy suffer a big loss and lose face. It would be best if the entire Crottan star fell. In that way, Aldridge’s title of governor would not be kept. Up.

Actually, he is not at all worried about the situation on Crottan, Garcia's Resistance? In his eyes, it was just a group of jumping clowns, stumbling around. Facing the space fleet, facing the large-scale ion cannon of Star Harbor, even if Marion occupied the missile base on the continent of Thor, what would happen to it? High-energy ion beams shot down the base and brought people together.

He was waiting, waiting for the right time, waiting for Aldridge to run to him with a nose and tears to persuade him. Either the planet fell, or this guy became a short-lived ghost and died in the hands of the rebel army. Then, he led the fleet to counter the rebellion and gained some fame.

You need to know that his duty is to be responsible for the safety of the universe of the Aslam star system. As for the size of the Crottan star, that is Aldridge's territory. If something goes wrong, everything has nothing to do with him.

On the other hand, Aldridge didn’t think it was necessary to let Starport’s fleet intervene in the inland war on Crottan. The troubles he caused would be solved by himself. It is the kingly way to solve the insurgents with the planetary garrison. , In order to keep the Ding Dai Hua Ling on the head.

After listening to Aldridge and Rams enthroned full of grievances, Tang Fang couldn't help but curiously express his doubts again. If Marion's rebels can really pass through the territory like a typhoon, sweeping the entire Crotan star, how can they face the space-based weapons of Star Harbor and the space fleet led by Ramsden?

Grant did not answer this time, but looked at his face with a meaningful smile.

Think about it carefully. Marion is an old fox who has lived for nearly 70 years and has dealt with the imperial army all day long. How could he not think of anything he could think of.

Grant’s smile may have two meanings: one, he doesn’t know, this is a question Marion needs to consider. Second, he knows, but it is not convenient to say.

"Hmm." A jolt came. Tang Fang turned his head and scanned the topographic map on the holographic projector, unfastened his seat belt, got up and said, "You go one step ahead, I have something to deal with."

Grant frowned slightly, and soon stretched out again, signaled to the driver in front of him to stop, smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll go ahead."

Tang Fang read the trust in his eyes, nodded and said: "Don't worry, we will rush over as soon as possible." After that, he opened the hatch and walked out of the armored vehicle. Aros pulled the truck aside, jumped off with Howson, and waved goodbye to Grant and others.

Watching Grant and others disappear at the end of sight, Tang Fang took most of the machine gunners and marauders back into the system space, and walked towards the blue lake not far away with Howson and Aros.

Before, he was still wondering that there was such a big event that the aircraft crashed in the territory. Why did the military have been so late? After listening to Grant's narration, he only figured out the twists and turns. It turned out that it was not that the military was slow to respond, but that they simply couldn't make it.

At first, Aros and Howson used first aid for him to come ashore, leaving "Ma Runjia" and "Marauders" at the bottom of the lake. He didn't want the empire to get these power armors. In case it made some achievements, he would use it on him back then, who would cry.

"Go and get those two suits of armor up." Instructed the two machine gunners to go down to the lake to recover the power armor.

Tang Fang took Aros and Howson to a slightly higher slope, and let the Euglena out. Most of the military satellites of the Crotan government have been damaged, and the monitoring of the land has been greatly reduced. There is no doubt that this greatly facilitated his actions.

The huge Euglena slowly climbed up, the photosensitive organ and the microwave unit were operating at the same time, and a series of battle messages were fed back to Tang Fang's mind.

About 300 kilometers northeast of the Blue Lake, a fierce battle is taking place around an arsenal covering an area of ​​more than 100 hectares.

Analyzed from the situation, one side is an offensive force coming from the direction of Mond City, while the other side is relying on the buildings outside the arsenal to conduct a defensive counterattack.

The former has superior strength, while the latter is scarce. According to common sense, even if the latter is backed by defensive structures, it will be difficult to resist the assault of the former armored group. What's more, the firefighting point is not one place, but around the entire arsenal. The front is in a regular ring shape, drawn long and dense.

However, there is a "but". I don’t know when a battleship formation consisting of three guided missile destroyers and 12 frigates rises on the surface of the Rut Bay. Rail projectiles poured onto the frontline battlefield, defeating the offensive side steadily.

However, what made Tang even more puzzled was that in the face of the strong fire support of the guards, the offensive troops were not discouraged and launched wave after wave of charges tenaciously.

In addition to West of Mond City, more than 200 kilometers away from the arsenal, an armored division of about 10,000 people is marching to Tokyu. It is expected that it will be able to reach both sides in more than an hour. The location of the firefight.

Is this armored division that suddenly appeared, rushing to reinforce the attacker? Or flanking the attacker? What is going on in this **** chaotic situation?

Euglena can only collect the information of the battle situation, but cannot make a more detailed analysis. Tang Fang thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Grant really got it right, something went wrong over the arsenal."

"Huh?" Aros frowned and asked, "What's the situation?"

Tang Fang sighed and informed the two of the message that the Euglena feeds back to their minds.

After listening, Aros looked up at the Euglena in the air, and then at the two machine gunners walking out of the water with the power armor: "What are you going to do? Go for a kick, or explain Zhe save his life and find another way?"

"Marion has done so many small moves on Crottan for so many years. There must be a lot of backhands. It should be very simple to send a few people out. Moreover, we are Grant’s lifesaver. It is reasonable and reasonable. This request is not excessive. After that, Tang Fang waved two sets of wet power armor into the system space. He walked toward the truck and said without looking back: "Rather than rushing around like a headless fly, it's better to get in. , Make the water more muddy, and only in this way can it help us fish in troubled waters."

Now that he had a decision in his heart, Aros and Howson would naturally not say much. The three of them got into the truck, decided on the direction, and headed north.
