[From the outbreak of the Xieluo War: 24 galactic hours.]
Near the Imperial Star Circle, the newly established ‘Operation Command Center against Luofeng’ is located on the command ship Asalu.
The Imperial Guard 2.0 system has completed the framework assembly of the five battle clusters. What needs to be done now is to fill these five battle clusters.
The commander-in-chief of this ‘punitive army’ is General Akzi, an imperial general and an honorary duke. He is ninety-six years old and has rich experience in commanding battle formations.
Before the rise of Thomas, the "new star" in the imperial military, Akzi was the "old star" with the most conspicuous military achievements in recent decades;
It is obviously a wise move to hand over the crusade against Luofeng to General Akzi.
General Akzi has a little personal quirk.
He likes regularity and symmetry. He always talks about the saying "Symmetry can create beauty, and regularity can highlight civilization" to highlight his liking for some space opera-type literary and artistic works.
Therefore, after establishing the command structure of the crusade, he returned to his lounge, looked at his square face in the mirror, trimmed his neat eyebrows bit by bit, and thought about the next enemy.
Fallen Alliance.
If someone had told Aziz a few galactic hours ago that the entire battle group of the empire would be eaten by someone in less than two galactic hours, then Aziz would definitely have given the person who spoke the words a loud and loud blow.
.
The empire's battle group is not only formulated based on the upper limit of the command system's capacity, but also takes into account all aspects.
When an entire battle group of the Empire is ambushed, the Empire will dispatch fleets as quickly as possible to support;
To take a step back, if there is an entire battle group, two to three thousand main battleships, and the firepower of the dreadnoughts, why can't they break through?
Akzi believed that the millions of imperial soldiers in the annihilated battle group were not all fools.
But the fact is that they failed to break out and wait for the reinforcements sent by the empire.
There is only one situation - they must have encountered too strong firepower, were completely suppressed, and suffered huge losses in the first few rounds of firepower.
It can be seen from this that the Luofeng Alliance is an enemy that must not be underestimated.
Akzi hummed a gentle melody.
He likes decent opponents.
In the seventy-two years he has been in the army, he has experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, most of which are extremely boring, plundering resources and sending some ships to show off their power to those weak political systems. If
If the other side dares to resist, then destroy the other side's military facilities and capture a group of 'war criminals' to fill the empire's demand for slaves.
The three expeditions to the New Federation became a performance stage for those young generals, who just turned around a few times on the edge of the stage;
Naturally, he participated in the whole process of fighting against the insect tide, but most of the time, he just stood behind the magical Imperial Guard system and watched how it mobilized the army.
——This is the basic quality necessary for imperial generals.
"General!"
Suddenly, an energetic shout came from the side.
Akzi's hand holding the tweezers did not shake at all. He moved his eyes and saw the middle-aged officer through the mirror.
"speak."
"yes!"
A virtual screen was unfolded in front of the officer, and he reported quickly:
"Currently! Four-fifths of our army has gathered. The nobles' private fleets have been reorganized smoothly. There are still some nobles' fleets that have not yet set sail. We have issued a urging order!
"The Council of Elders has completed the docking with us, and now you have the full power to command all members of the noble fleet!
"It should be noted that in this expedition, there are many commanders of private fleets who are the owners of these fleets!"
Akzi stopped and frowned slightly.
Oh, when he frowned, his forehead lines were always not completely symmetrical, which made Akzi quickly regain his calm expression.
"I hate politics.
"You go and vaccinate those noble gentlemen. Next, you must obey my order completely and ask the military department to dispatch more military police units to garrison the private fleets of these nobles.
"At the same time, I will report to the military department that I will make a judgment based on the war situation to achieve the greatest possible victory in the war, and I will not care about whose fleet is sent forward.
"If these noble fleets slip up at a critical moment, I won't have any tolerance for them."
"yes!"
The officer gave a military salute, then turned and ran away.
General Akzi shook his head, hummed a tune again, and began to squeeze the blackhead that appeared on the tip of his nose. With this sense of ritual, his brain was spinning rapidly.
Is there any special arrangement for the Imperial Military to send so many nobles?
Could it be that you want these nobles to sacrifice more to reduce domestic pressure?
If that were the case, it would be so happy.
Akzi certainly knew that these noble private ships would be uniformly deployed by the Imperial Guard 2.0 system. He only needed to issue tactical orders during wartime, and Imperial Guard 2.0 would adapt itself.
Emperor Guard 2.0 is said to be an advanced version of the Emperor Guard system;
This system should be more powerful. After all, the Imperial Guard system is an antique tens of thousands of years ago, and there is no way that the current empire is even more backward than the empire of tens of thousands of years ago.
In this battle, he basically didn't have to spend too much thought on it, and he didn't have to worry about any political factors.
Defeat the enemies of the Empire and bring victory back to Sherman;
This is the only mission he has to fulfill.
…
[From the outbreak of the Xieluo War: 16 galactic hours].
Yang Ming stretched and walked out of the captain's lounge of a heavy battleship.
This heavy battleship numbered '0126' is somewhat special.
There are three thousand crew members on it, all of them are high-simulation robots covered in human skin, and their cores are mechanical thinking bodies born from Dark Star; and this ship is the command of a battleship group with two thousand mostly human crew members.
ship.
In the ensuing war, it was obviously unwise for the Dongfeng to show up.
——When the Dongfeng took action before, it was also mixed in the fleet, and it used a three-dimensional camouflage image.
Yang Ming was wearing a loose military uniform and walking in the corridor. When the passing crew members saw Yang Ming, they would stand upright beside him, perform imperial military salutes, and shout the word "Father" in their hearts.
"Commander arrives on the bridge!"
Following the gentle female voice announcement, Yang Ming sat in the suspended seat that floated over to the captain's seat in the center of the spacious bridge.
Several rays intertwined to form the figure of Lu.
"Boss, have you had a rest?"
"It's okay," Yang Ming asked, "How's the situation?"
Lu immediately pulled out a simplified version of the star map, which was marked with densely packed ship icons.
"Currently, the empire has assembled five battle groups, with more than 13,600 combat ships and five dreadnoughts.
"There are also scattered private fleets of nobles that are constantly being added. It is expected that the number of combat ships will reach more than 16,000. It is not sure whether there will be a sixth dreadnought. The empire currently has no dreadnoughts under maintenance.
There are eight ships available for mobilization.
"It is worth mentioning that among these 16,000 battleships, less than half are the Sherman Empire's regular troops."
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment: "They really want to play this way? Do they really want the noble fleet to account for more than half of the empire's current assembled strength?"
"Yes, boss," Ritsu couldn't help laughing, "The empire wants to use us as a whetstone to suppress the aristocratic power of the empire. Although I haven't found any evidence, I feel like this is what Director Ino is good at.
Those are the moves that people will make."
Yang Ming leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.
Lu asked: "What's wrong, boss?"
"Can the Luofeng Alliance's conventional military strength win this battle?"
"able!"
Lu’s answer was very confident:
"Boss, look... our preset battlefield is here, inside the Luofeng Alliance border.
“The main reasons for choosing this place are: First, this airspace has less gravitational interference and is suitable for large army deployment and tactical maneuvers.
"Second, if the empire's fleet enters this airspace, it will constitute a substantial invasion, and we will occupy the right to speak in public opinion.
"Third, in this airspace, we can bury some of the ambush troops to outflank and harass the imperial fleet from the rear."
"Have you considered reinforcements from Guel and the United Free States?"
"None of them," Lu laughed. "Their soldiers will not bleed in vain. The Empire's second expedition to the New Federation has proven everything. Only when we withstand the pressure head-on and attract firepower will they be able to beat the fallen dog."
possible."
Yang Ming thought carefully: "What is our estimated loss?"
"In about six galactic hours, we will gather 70% of the total military strength of each member country, which is almost our entire main force.
"There are more than 8,900 ships on par with the Sherman Empire's regular army. Our dreadnoughts, heavy battleships, and shield ships are absolutely at a disadvantage compared to the Sherman Empire.
"Our total number of ships will reach more than 13,000, of which more than 4,000 are ships with poor performance."
Lu muttered a few times:
"Judging from the data on paper, we have only one barely usable dreadnought, and it is absolutely impossible for us to be a match for the Sherman Empire."
"Then?"
"I envision three plans. Each plan requires us to expose different things and achieve different results."
Lu said softly:
“The first option is to use drone swarm tactics.
"The overall idea is to use Luofeng's conventional military forces to confront the opponent from the front, and the drone swarm to outflank the opponent from the sides and rear. I will adopt a decentralized layout to minimize the threat from the opponent's dreadnoughts.
"The estimated losses in this plan are that the damage to Luofeng's conventional military force is between 45% and 55%, and the loss of UAVs is about 20 million.
"The second option is to use our Dark Star fleet directly on the flank to catch the empire by surprise.
"This general idea is to directly improve our frontal combat strength. The disadvantage is that it will expose these mysterious fleets.
"The third option... I actually don't recommend this, because this is our Dark Star's strategic force for self-protection, which is those jumpable planetary cannons. We only need to mobilize twelve jumpable planetary cannons to let the imperial fleet know
What is true technological development that brings about combat power innovation?"
Yang Ming lowered his head and thought.
What Lu said was pretty much what he expected in his heart.
In fact, Yang Ming had not rested well before. He was thinking about how to fight the next battle.
So far, everything is according to his plan.
The adjusted "Challenger" plan is divided into two parts. One part refers to the White Ghost's challenge to the Sherman Empire's core power group within the empire, and the other part refers to Luofeng, a former satellite country, to challenge Sherman.
The Man Empire launched a challenge to its hegemony.
Now, they are at a critical juncture of the plan.
Without reasonable interference, their progress will not go smoothly.
The Edwan incident continues to ferment in human civilization throughout the galaxy, and Luo Feng has gained justice;
Emilia succeeded to the throne, Luofeng was reorganized, Luofeng declared independence, and the Luofeng Alliance sent troops to ambush the Sherman Empire's expedition fleet to invade the New Ori Empire. This was Luofeng's revenge and a blow to the empire;
Now, the attention of human civilization across the galaxy is focused here.
In the next battle, no matter how big the casualties or losses are, the righteous Luofeng will defeat the evil empire, and the effect of "a warrior slaying the dragon" will be achieved.
Luofeng will not only be able to achieve a significant increase in international status, but also gain sufficient voice in the anti-imperial camp. It will also boost public confidence internally and enhance the centripetal force and cohesion of the 'big family' of the Luofeng Alliance.
The Luofeng Alliance was built into a true alliance-style government.
This is crucial to the future development of Luofeng.
If you lose... if you lose, the country will be destroyed.
Those arrogant and cruel descendants of Levi could not let go of Luo Feng who humiliated them one after another.
Yang Ming sighed softly: "It's not very safe."
"Boss, what are you saying is not safe?"
The law is somewhat unclear.
"The strength we have prepared is not very safe," Yang Ming said in a deep voice, "Actually, there is no need to hide it anymore. Li Wei knows the existence of the Dark Star, so when Levi wakes up, his authority is beyond Li Wei's.
Wei must be able to read this information."
Lu pursed her lips slightly and thought carefully.
Yang Ming said: "I understand you, Xiaolu, what you want is to retain more trump cards to use against Levi. There is always only one enemy in your eyes, and that is Levi and Li."
Lu nodded slightly: "Boss, I must calculate every detail for your final victory."
"Lu, the final victory must be ours," Yang Ming said sternly, "the Fayan people are on our side."
There was a bit of hesitation in Lu's eyes.
She doesn't trust the Fayans.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "What is the latest mission given to us by the Faya people?"
"Kill Levi."
"How to kill Levi?" Yang Ming asked, "The technology given by the Faya people allows me to use virtual thinking body technology to enter the City of Light to assassinate or defeat Levi head-on in other ways, right?"
"Yes boss."
"The Faya people stand in the high-dimensional world and look down at us. In their eyes, our future is just a page in a book that they can see by flipping through it at will.
"Have you not discovered it after dealing with the Faya people for so long?
"The choice they make must be the most likely future; if this future does not meet their expectations, they will intervene to varying degrees.
"It's like when I wanted to kill Posuo, they were so anxious that they showed up."
Yang Ming changed the subject:
"We have to admit that the Faya people have countless ways to eliminate Levi. They can just create a little energy disturbance in the high-dimensional world and make the Emperor Star disappear with a bang.
"And now, the Faya people have given this job to me.
"This shows that getting rid of Levi is only a small matter for them. This shows that Levi's interference in the future is extremely limited.
"From this perspective, why should we be too afraid of Levi?"
Lu nodded slowly: "Boss, I roughly understand what you are saying... We want to annihilate all five battle groups, right?"
"No, no, no, that will cause the empire to make a desperate move."
Yang Ming smiled:
"What I mean is that Luofeng's war potential is far inferior to that of the Empire. It is very important that we cannot lose too many human soldiers.
"In this way, six jumpable planetary cannons are mobilized, and the focus is on the use of drone swarms to seize ships.
"We are the most advanced in the galaxy in terms of shield interference technology and deformable robots. Why don't we use them?"
Ritsu breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you didn't ask me to mobilize all the Dark Star fleets to wipe out these five battle clusters... Okay, boss, I'll prepare now. I can't wait to see the Imperial officers see our planetary cannon."
That’s the expression on his face.”
Yang Ming was a little helpless to complain.
Ritsu is good in every aspect, but she is a mechanical thinking body and doesn't care about human life at all.
This is also good, there won't be any womanly kindness that will affect the direction of the war.
War does not require sympathy.
…
[It’s 7 galactic hours until the Xieluo War breaks out.]
Revell looked at the order in front of him and leaned on his seat irritably;
After Revell nodded, the staff officer sent by the Imperial Military Department began to implement this transfer order.
