Chapter 1728 Strategic Adjustment
Realizing that the strategy needed to be modified, Soshiyan reached out and drew several dotted lines and arrows on the star chart.
"So can the strategy be modified as follows? On the one hand, we continue to test pressure on Badab, creating the illusion that we must occupy it. On the other hand, we secretly gather troops and prepare to launch a blitzkrieg attack on Angustorm. After occupying and forging the world, we use this as a support point to fight against the Red Pirates around the galaxy, attracting the main force of the Red Pirates here, investing a large number of star-bound forces to consume the main force of the enemy. At the same time, other war zones have also launched the second phase of offensive plan, waiting for the enemy to weaken before launching a full occupation of Badab."
After listening to Soshiyang's plan, the others nodded in agreement after thinking for a while.
"feasible."
"Yes, if this plan is achieved, then Badabu's rebels will be dead fish on the chopping board. Such a large piece of enemies, Huron will never fail to save them."
"The key point of this expedition is here, and we must give them some small empire shock."
Soshiyang walked forward and pressed a button. Then dense lines appeared on the star map. Different colors had different representatives. Some were the logistics transportation lines of the Expeditionary Force, some were trade transportation lines, and some were the raw materials provided to the Cast World. Soshiyang pressed another button, and immediately only the red line of logistics transportation was left.
"…I received reports from the first, second, third and fourth war zones last week. They were asking for increased logistics delivery and requesting reinforcements, especially personnel replenishment. However, in the past two months, the Ministry of Military Affairs has only provided 20 million scattered troops, most of which are recruits, including more than four million Kadian White Shield. The personnel loss in each war zone has far exceeded previous expectations."
After hearing this, Laishande sighed and said:
"In fact, it's not just the losses of the mortal troops. According to the latest statistics on the battle loss table, the interstellar warriors in each battle group also suffered considerable losses. Several battle zones have lost 121 combat brothers, and the Tianshi Chapter alone accounts for one quarter of it."
"I have read those battle reports, too."
Hullbletcher picked up the data board beside him, and after a few clicks, lines of text appeared on the star map.
"Some company-level commanders of the battle group do not have experience in large-scale warfare and attack. They are blindly attacking and rushing against the enemy's solid fortifications, resulting in many unnecessary sacrifices. Moreover, they cannot effectively coordinate the use of firepower and waste ammunition, especially large-caliber shells and rockets, but they cannot achieve good results."
After listening to the two advisers, Soshiyang nodded with a serious expression.
"These things must be sorted out and can give certain guidance to non-commissioned officers who have no experience in war and attacking difficulties, but the logistics should indeed increase their capacity."
As he said that, he threw out the plan he had formulated with Riza.
"I've communicated with Riza as well. They will build a solid transportation line from the periphery of the Great Vortex, but need to requisition some unmanned worlds and satellites."
Soshyan looked at Marcus.
"Judge Marcus, there is no problem with this?"
Marcus was stunned for a moment, then nodded:
"No problem, now everything should be served for the expedition."
"That's good."
Nodding, Soshiyan made the final decision.
"The first batch of recruited soldiers will be completed soon. At that time, they will join the recruits provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs to supplement these four theaters, including the first and second theaters, and inform the commanders of each theater."
At this time, he took out another special report from Mala Blonde.
"The Fourth War Zone also reported some special things. When they surrounded and suppressed the green-skinned pirates, they found that the aliens were equipped with many imperial weapons, and the number was extremely abnormal. In addition, they joined forces to fight against the Empire, which led to the progress of the Fourth War Zone being very unsuccessful. The Marajin brothers speculated that the Red Pirates were likely to provide support for the alien weapons and equipment, and even intelligence support."
Everyone browsed Malakin's report with the data board on their hands, which not only contained instructions, but also had a lot of video and picture evidence.
Hullblett first expressed his opinion after reading it.
"The equipment of these alien pirates is indeed abnormal. If I were Huron, I would also consider joining the alien to restrain the imperial troops."
Laishande nodded immediately.
"If the Red Pirates really give support to the alien, it would be difficult to complete the established tasks based on the existing troops in the Fourth War Zone alone. Although the Pale Star itself has two million star-land troops, the defense pressure is also very high. There are not many troops that can be drawn out to clean the aliens. It seems that the strength in that aspect needs to be strengthened."
"The archaeological fleet of Griffin IV is moving nearby. I have called them to ask them to assist the Malakin brothers in destroying the Green Pirates. Another two weeks ago, a company arrived at the Great Vortex. After communicating with Company Commander Gonzaro, I sent them to the Pale Star to help the Malakin brothers eliminate the alien threat there and prevent it from adversely affecting the critical First War Zone."
After hearing this, Hulblet nodded. A company of Death Watch was basically composed of four killing teams. Due to the uncertain number of killing teams, the number of each Death Watch company is mostly no more than 50. Although it is less than a Saint Code Company, considering that they are all elites who are proficient in combating aliens, their role can often be greater than that of a company.
“There should be no problem.”
Afterwards, several people discussed other things, and the more important part was the part about the logistics personnel of the Expeditionary Force.
In addition to hundreds of millions of soldiers, the Expeditionary Force actually included almost the same number of non-combatants. After all, Soshiyan established a separate logistics system for efficiency, namely the Expeditionary Force Station Supervisory Department, which naturally requires higher labor costs. Although some staff were drawn from the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, most of them were recruited directly from each nest. After all, these two departments themselves also need to operate.
Because they were separated from the imperial bureaucracy, the Ministry of Internal Affairs naturally could not be responsible for the "wages" of these people. The minister even repeatedly emphasized to Soshyan that they did not have the authority to requisition more resources to pay the wages of the excess staff, and this burden directly overwhelmed the expeditionary army, or director Bonnhard Morales.
At first, Soshiyang planned to transfer all this burden to the nobles of Chaodu, but he found that it was difficult to actually implement this matter. After all, he could not really force the "war tax" one by one. If it was just an order, the nobles had many means to escape. Of course, they were still willing to bear it if it was only part of it. After all, although Soshiyang had no reason to search the house, he had the ability to drag them to the battlefield.
