Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 345 Taylor Takes Command

With the addition of the Academy of Sciences fleet, the tide of the war quickly turned.

Although the Star Ring Group's fleet still had the upper hand, it was too late for them to retreat, and they could only be locked in the encirclement and beaten.

It's important to know that the solar system is still the main base of the Earth-to-Earth alliance.

After destroying a batch of defensive turrets on the space city's orbit, a new batch of turrets will come to harass the area.

In this way, the situation became clear.

The Star Ring Group's frigates escorted the dozens of main ships in the middle as they attempted to break out of the encirclement.

Meanwhile, Wang Miao's fleet blocked the way out. On the other side, the Seventh and Eighth Fleets, which had originally fled, turned back and began to work with the surrounding guard turrets to gradually wear down the outer escort fleet.

While they might struggle against battleships and battlecruisers, the Earth Alliance fleet could easily handle smaller destroyers like these.

The current situation is excellent, but Radiaz still has a sense of unease.

The fact that Star Ring Corporation is able to build so many warships suggests that there must be a hidden, unknown starport, or even an interstellar fortress, outside the solar system.

Otherwise, just supplying these fleets would be a huge problem.

Although we have now entered the era of interstellar warfare, some strategic principles remain the same as in the era of the United Nations.

The saying "an army marches on its stomach" often refers to provisions for horses, but this isn't entirely true.

Ancient soldiers needed this grass to camp in both winter and summer so they could sleep peacefully. If so many fleets were just rootless duckweed, how could we let these thousands of warships drift in space all these years?

Therefore, this war is not over until the Star Ring Corporation's main base for building warships is discovered.

But now there's a problem... who should we ask to find them?

Under normal circumstances, Rediaz would have personally taken charge without hesitation, since he was most familiar with this kind of thing, and among the Lin Party, he was the best at leading troops.

But now, he can't leave.

The situation on the front lines was constantly changing. If he left, he wouldn't even know that the Earth Alliance had been captured within a few hours.

Don't let the Earth Alliance surrender before you've even found your base while you're leading your troops outside.

Seeing Luo Congmin's indifferent attitude towards whoever became president, Rediaz felt that his worries were not unfounded.

After much thought, it seems that only one person is suitable.

"What? You want me to command the fleet!"

Taylor, who had just come out of the studio, was completely dumbfounded when he received the order from Diaz.

"I haven't fought a war in so many years, this... isn't appropriate?"

Taylor hesitated.

To be honest, if this had happened a few hundred years ago, he would have done it without hesitation.

After all, how could someone who is qualified to be a Wallfacer be someone who is willing to back down?

But now, so many years have passed, and he hasn't been on the battlefield for a long time.

On the few occasions that he did attempt it, it was all just theoretical talk.

After all, there are so many capable people in the Earth Alliance. Taylor felt that he only needed to quietly be a lazy bum and that he didn't need to worry about anything else.

But now, when he heard the sergeant's order, he was completely stunned.

"Where is Radiáz?"

"General Radiaz is currently commanding the battle at the front and is unable to leave his post, so he has specially dispatched me to deliver this order to you, temporarily appointing you as the commander-in-chief of the Sun and Moon Fleet, leading 1200 warships straight to the outside of the Oort Cloud to search for traces of the enemy."

As the sergeant spoke, he handed Taylor a document jointly signed by Diaz and Luo Congmin.

Taylor stared at the documents in the other person's hand, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

After a full five seconds of silence, he snatched the document from the other person's hand and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Lin Xuan, did you see that? Back then you said I wasn't up to the task, and that as long as I didn't die, that would be the biggest contribution to Project Wall."

"Now that the country is in crisis, it is indeed necessary for me, Taylor, to step in and tell Rediaz to put his mind at ease."

"That little AiAA will surely suffer a crushing defeat!"

With that, he waved his hand, turned around, and strode towards the door.

"The Sun and Moon Fleet is Luo Congmin's private army, right? It has actually grown to a fleet of 1200 ships. That's terrifying."

"Yes, Mr. Taylor. Although the commanders of these 1200 warships are mostly clones, the fleet's configuration is not low. There are more than 200 battleships alone, and countless radar ships, supply ships, and deep-space submarines. Their weapons are also more sophisticated than those of the Earth Federation's regular army."

To ensure his dominance, Luo Congmin stockpiled plenty of good stuff for the fleet. Apart from some weapons that Wang Miao was still experimenting with and hadn't been equipped with, the Sun and Moon Fleet was the first to be fully equipped with all kinds of mass-produced equipment from the Academy of Sciences.

The only drawback of this fleet is that the proportion of clone soldiers is too high.

Liu Chang said a long time ago that clones cannot completely replace human work. For some reason, clones created by humans do not have subjective thoughts. This is a question that no one has figured out yet.

The lack of initiative poses a significant challenge to the piloting of the spaceship, as many devices rely on the SuperDream server for operation. The clone can only provide computing power to the server, but cannot become one of its clients.

Therefore, many operations of this fleet are now carried out using electronic devices.

This certainly has its advantages, but the disadvantages are even more obvious.

Not relying on the Mewtwo database means that even if the database is destroyed one day, they can still use it normally. However, their reaction time to orders from senior officers will be much slower than that of other fleets.

However, it doesn't matter. Luo Congmin never intended to send this fleet out to fight. The fleet's role was more to suppress internal instability.

This situation is special, and Diaz needs to find a trustworthy person to handle this matter, but temporarily transferring Taylor to any fleet is not appropriate.

Only the clones of the Sun and Moon Fleet can obey Luo Congmin's orders 100%.
