"Says Olataro. I'm in an admirable war right now!!

A cheerful voice echoing the bridge of the air cruiser Plum II. Taro stands in the front of the large screen, staring at the surrounding sights reflected in it.

"What is it, Yabu to me? If I say that, I'm at war."

On the seat, Marr returns what he calls a sports seat. Next to it, Alan, who looks tired, is mouthing a cigar, and at his feet, letting Etta lean against the seat to rest.

"No, it's your seventh outing since this month, isn't it? I thought it was starting to smell like war... and this is it. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Since the indiscriminate food support terrorism caused by the Taro proposal, Enzio has been fully reinforcing its offensive against the EAP. Everyone expected it to come from a rush caused by an unexpected attack, but didn't know where it actually was.

Four large-scale meetings had already taken place, with battles taking place in numbers and places that could not be counted if small objects were included. Taro advises Sakura as a staff member for the EAP Second Fleet, and Bella continues to participate directly in the fight for the EAP First Fleet. Taro was proud that he should be working with Bella as a force for the EAP side to acknowledge, but still the war situation was on the way to deterioration. The EAP was overwhelmed on the Enzio side, both in number and quality, and the same seemed to be true for human resources. No matter how hard Taro works, it's a trivial thing from the whole point of view.

- "Docking system complete: target E747 supply ship" -

The BISHOP indication tells me that the docking with the supply ship is over. An outboard monitor displayed in the corner of the large screen reflected the resupply vessel on which the Liza was riding, and countless cables were seen stretched towards Plum II. When they eventually tie the plum tight, the various repair small craft begin to be spit out of the supply ship.

"... tentacle play."

"You've heard that for a long time. Your little expression."

Marl puts a penetration in Taro, who shrugged and murmured, with his half-closed eyes. When Taro was somewhat satisfied that tentacle play was alive and well in the Galactic Empire, he put his arms together and sighed.

"EAP, is Enzio's damage ratio roughly six to four?

Staring at the screen, Taro. The question is answered by Xiaomei, who is rolling around drawing eight letters at his feet.

"For now, though. Mr. Taylor. We were roughly five to five at the start of the full-scale offensive, so we are on the way to deterioration. Sometimes the other side has stepped up its offense, but there's a lot of delay in dealing with it on the EAP side."

"I don't know why the review of the defense plan didn't make it. Considering this happened because of the hard-headed people, I can't do it."

"It's something that takes a lot of time for a new concept to penetrate, Mr. Taylor. Besides, you're doing great. By infiltrating Enzio with Miss Sakura and gathering information, we were able to give at least an advance warning to the EAP leadership."

"I don't know... I almost throw up every time I think about it that there was a better way"

"It's fine to feel responsible, but it's not your fault, Mr. Taylor. It was Enzio who did this, not you. Reflection will sharpen itself, but you won't have to sharpen it enough to break it."

Taro shrugs his shoulders and shows them in a rhetoric like Xiao Mei's adage. As he exhaled and put his hands on his hips, he followed with his eyes the frozen corpse hitting the hull of Plum II and changing course.

"I can't do it..."

Close your eyes and lean down Taro. The large screen had the wreckage of a destroyed space station, and the burning light of flammable gas was blinking from all over. From among the destroyed modules, the structure was uneven, each bent in an uneven direction. I thought Taro looked like a Wynd ship.

Forty-four hours ago now. An ambush attack on the Arizona system was carried out by Enzio.

Enemy troops, made up of many stealth ships, skilfully dived through the eyes of the EAP sentry and barely noticed through the defensive line. It would be largely due to the fact that consciousness was too oriented towards a massive offensive elsewhere carried out beforehand, although in some respects it had not deployed a large force on the grounds that it had less geopolitical importance than it had previously been. Let me further say from Taro that the low geopolitical importance was already a story of the past. Because no direct attack on the station was taken into account among the judgment materials determining its importance.

"I hope this is the cold water that wakes the stiff heads, Mr. Taylor"

"Well, if you don't, you can't fool the people who just died."

The enemy fleet that crossed the defensive line was divided into two units, each carrying out attacks against Arizona Stations 1 and 3. The first station managed to escape devastation by a rushed EAP defense force, but the third one was thoroughly destroyed. Four hours had already passed since the attack by the time the main fleet of Taronda arrived at reinforcements, and that was too much time to destroy defenceless stations. As a result, one large industrial station was destroyed and as many as 12,000 lives lost.

"I managed to push him back here, but I'm relieved to think that he might have gone further back. They'll have to take care of this, too. It's connected to the heart of the EAP... maybe it was originally your destiny."

Alan with a deep wrinkle between his eyebrows and rubbing his bear-made eyes.

The Taronda Rescue Unit has been fighting for half an hour since they rushed here, and has since spent ten hours on perimeter alert. It took me a long time to get rid of someone who would thoroughly escape, and I couldn't distract myself from the detours before someone with excellent cover-up skills. As a result, it has been happening for almost two whole days.

And now, the transport and supply unit led by Liza has finally arrived, and it is likely that a calculator will be able to exchange it for reserve forces. That was what Taro and the others needed more than anything right now.

"" Come on, Mr. Taylor. You can come in for a break. You can leave it to me later. ""

It's on the comms, Liza. To Taro, where the limits of fatigue were coming, she looked like a goddess. Of course, the same would have happened to other faces.

"Twelve stations have already been attacked. Six devastated objects. I need a hundred grand for human damage, but the things I lost are huge. Every industrial station, so EAP's production capacity is pretty bad."

Bella with the addition of a cigar emits as she glances at the terminal with her sharp eye. The meeting room at the EAP's moving fortress was filled with Rising Sun leaders, all of whom were assembled except for executives who had to remain to manage the system. Will there be about 20 people in all?

"The damage assumption is assumed to be about 12%. If the attacks continue in the future, they will be on the wane."

A plum on the table blinks the lamp as it twirls around. The body of the sphere had fine scratches there, and seemed to be as tall as it was telling the story of the intensity of the battle.

"In the end, you did exactly what Taylor said. The other guy's trying to scrape it off the base of the EAP... no one's questioning this idea anymore, right?

Marl takes confirmation as he looks around. We all nod together, and there is a voice of consent all the way up.

"At least you spared us and the few systems that believed the Admiral's words. All that was attacked was a system with low defense capability that took no measures anywhere. At the same time, however, unfortunate facts are lifted. The EAP is also defeated in espionage matches... except for us."

says Alan, head of the intelligence department. Being attacked only in places with low defensive capabilities would mean that there are people circulating such information from within.

"What about releasing some of the secret paths that our company holds to EAP? I don't think we have any more information on sending in spies."

Clark, Chief of Integrated Staff, leaves from across the street from Taran. Besides, Bella frowns, "You're not kidding."

"You don't trust me. If you already have a spy, there's a chance you'll have one of those. If I had to wait for you to use it, it wouldn't have happened."

"I agree with Bella," Alan said.

"We've used a good number of secret routes against Enzio when we're supporting food. Besides, you can't just send human resources in intelligence. We're going to take the time and penetrate the scene. You're feeling better now."

When he says so, he shows Taro's created specialty map onto a screen equipped with a wall. Only the route to Enzio's major systems has been pulled out, with red butt marks on several paths. They are the routes used to send in simplified agricultural stations, possibly known to the other party.

"Well, that's what Alan says, so I'm pretty sure there's nothing you can do when you send in an observer. As the Director General put it, let's make some public over there. I think it'll be a pretty good help from the EAP."

Taro lifts his finger and speaks. Then there will be a number of voices of consent and denial, but Phantom will cough it up and quell it.

"The president is right. And there's no need to just send a new route. Even if it was the route already used, it should be valuable information for the EAP side. Even if that was a risk-ready form of use. What about in the form of basing used routes and making up for some unused routes? Not all EAPs are dumb. There will be good people to use."

With a calm voice, Phantom as he tells. Then voices like "in that way" and "if it's an existing route" are raised, and most people show an attitude of agreement. As Taro also has no reason to disagree, check the voting field on the terminal at hand.

"For now, let's take a decision, let's talk about the most important item in the meeting."

Taro exhales one breath and calls the material on the terminal at hand.

"The two remaining issues. i.e. on networks and resources. Let's hear your opinions on what to do with this guy."
