Chapter 1,382 It’s not difficult to crack a lightning strike
Your Highness has grown up really amazingly recently! She can tell such hellish jokes. This shows that her sadistic heart has gradually become stronger. And for a true king, a kind and generous side is needed
, but a ruthless and decisive sadism is also very important.
To put it bluntly, a wise king since ancient times must want both M and S!
Of course, this kind of thing will no longer be inhumane.
Ostana Barr looked at her master who was growing up happily with a face filled with relief. With these treacherous thoughts swirling in her heart, she began to explain the whole story of the Blood Gate battle that had ended.
A few minutes later, Brunhildt sneered again: "Leave aside the pursuit behind, the battle lasted less than twenty hours. Twenty hours, more than a thousand battleships, large and small, and more than three million people,
Are they all gone? With more than four million pigs, even that guy couldn’t catch them all in more than twenty hours, right?”
"This, if it were an anti-matter bomb, 40 billion pigs would turn to ashes in one blast." Miss Chief of Staff said.
"Thank you, Ostana. Thank you for the reminder." Brunhilt glanced at the other party, his expression neither happy nor sad.
The chief of staff continued to report: "In addition, it cannot be regarded as the total annihilation of the army. It can only be confirmed that all the battleships were sunk, but the number of battleships that escaped should be more than a hundred."
"What good news!" Brunhild smiled instead of being angry: "Where are the imperial supervisory forces and the stationed fleet?"
"Nine of the twelve arsenal ships were sunk and three were captured. Of the eighteen protective ships, ten were sunk and eight were captured. The number of captured imperial officers and soldiers should be around 6,000."
...Well, arsenal ships and frigates cannot be considered capital ships. They are only second-level special battleships. Their status in the Imperial Space Fleet is even lower than that of heavy cruisers and light carriers. We cannot count on all captains and persons in charge of important positions.
They are all loyal citizen officers, so it is understandable that they would surrender on a large scale.
To be fair, even noble lords and even royal families would lay down their weapons and go to prisoner-of-war camps to exchange prisoners of war.
To put it bluntly, purely by the standards of professional soldiers, they can be regarded as fulfilling their duties.
As for the empire's advisory group, to put it bluntly, they are the astral knights. It has been confirmed that nine astral knights, including Count Heronqi, died on the battlefield. The only good news is that Viscount Shameen, Ymir, brought four
A young colleague, piloting a Brigade Falcon, finally escaped the pursuit of the outer ring fleet and escaped from the battlefield with a rapid pursuit.
The battle report contains a message from him to the Privy Council to ensure his safety. He should be in a safe place.
"Fortunately, the most capable of the Four Heavenly Kings finally survived. People like him are the future!" Brynhild said.
One thing to say is that among the current Four Heavenly Kings, the one who is recognized as the most capable and capable in the Prime Minister's Kingdom is Countess Giafel of Lamut; Major General Yeager Soback, who is most likely to become a famous general; and
The one who is best able to play the double bonus stick and who is most likely to become the empire's top card in the future is really Viscount Shameen, Ymir.
"Such a title is not recognized within the Knights, Your Highness. There are nearly 2,000 regular knights between the ages of twenty and forty, and this does not include temporary positions like you and your subordinates. Among the knights
In terms of honors, there is no obvious ranking among everyone, so we cannot artificially create disharmony within the team," Ostana said.
"You mean, the Four Heavenly Kings' statement is the enemy's conspiracy."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. The first person to make this statement seems to be the media from the alliance." Ostana said.
Brynhilt's eyes suddenly widened, obviously interested in this kind of gossip, but Ostana didn't want to really continue on this topic and quickly returned to the topic:
"Your Highness, so far, we have never gained any advantage in front of the people on Earth. With the size of the empire and having the upper hand, it is very ugly to fight like this."
Indeed, if we only count the losses of conventional forces, because of the support of the Ring of Miracles, the empire has a great advantage.
But if it counts as extraordinary power, then the exchange ratio is very ugly.
So far, almost all the psykers killed in the Blue Star Community have occurred in the Ring of Miracles battle. There are twenty-seven people in total, and the highest one is only a fourth ring.
But in the Galactic Empire, three demigods alone have fallen. If we only talk about the Astral Knights, the captain, deputy captain, and two knight captains died one after another, which means that one-third of the leaders have disappeared.
What's surprising is that since ancient times, the empire has always been the best in the field of extraordinary beings and mysticism. Even the opposite alliance has many gaps.
"So, will the Astral Knights and the Inquisition be discontinued because of this?" Brynhilt asked rhetorically.
"...That's not a big deal, but it's a traumatic loss."
"What's the main reason? Ostana."
"The two masters and apprentices, the Dragon of Dawn and the Magician. Even if placed in the vast history of civilized warfare, their achievements can already make their names shine in the annals of history. In the final analysis, geniuses can always treat the world as their own toy.
.However, let me tell you something you don’t like to hear, Your Highness, the latter’s use of troops is actually the most unscrupulous and difficult to capture. As for the former, its creativity and imagination lie in the innovation of new equipment and new tactics.”
Brünnhilt chuckled and put his fist on his cheek: "Ostana, you are right. However, the unconstrained magician is too ethereal. But the other one is not only for the future.
Isn’t it charming that people with foresight and insight also appear to be down-to-earth?”
Why don't you even act in your double standard anymore? Ostana felt that if she were Miss Giafel, she might also grab Brunhilt's shoulders and growl: "Brynn, please wake up.
ah!"
It's a pity that Countess Giafel is His Royal Highness King Sulyuka's childhood friend and best friend, but she is just her think tank.
"The combat effectiveness of this new type of warship has shocked the Privy Council. Now, all the new ships still on the slipway are being reworked and should be equipped with anti-aircraft firepower. Your Highness, the three Barba ships scheduled to be added to the New World are
The Rosa-class dreadnought may also have to wait for at least a month." Ostana added.
"I guessed it. But this can only help to a certain extent." Brunhilt shrugged.
"Therefore, the top priority must be to eliminate the threat of the enemy's lightning strike ship first!" Miss Chief of Staff said: "In addition, the name of the thunder strike ship was given by Mr. Qi Bingwen, and the Privy Council has accepted it."
"The old men are quite efficient in this regard." Brynhildr smiled and then said calmly: "Actually, it's not that difficult."
"...What are you referring to?"
“Cracking the Tornado Ship Threat.”
This time, Ostana was silent for nearly half a minute. If she had said these words to any other person, Miss Chief of Staff would have thought that the other person was talking nonsense, but if it were her master, she felt full of strange emotions.
So, after a moment of pause, she said: "Actually, when the battle report of the Battle of the High Seas came, my staff had already begun to discuss this issue. There were many alert people.
They all feel that we may have stood on the threshold of the military revolution of the space fleet."
"That's right, Ostana. You've done a good job in training the staff, and I've always been at ease with your work." Brynhilt praised him.
"This is just because the staff are all elites. Of course, if you are not an elite, it is impossible to enter your shogunate." Ostana smiled:
"However, some colleagues believe that since the thunder strike ship has shown such power, it represents the future of war. They have made suggestions and hope that His Highness can submit a petition to the Privy Council to re-revise the empire's shipbuilding plan. It is best to
Can cancel the construction plan of new dreadnoughts and battle cruisers, and start building torpedo ships instead."
Brunhildt almost did not hesitate, and immediately showed a bright smile: "Very good, let's send the people who made these suggestions to the Marine Corps or the cruiser. I personally do not reject the wild imagination, but this
Whether it is a bold foresight based on careful consideration or a big talk to deceive the world and flatter the public depends on their own destiny."
This was originally what the chief of staff wanted. So, she showed a happy smile again, as if "you already know how to answer", and said with a moved face: "Yes."
"Take it easy. If Olivia and Wolfna see you like this, they will definitely think that you are rejecting dissidents." Brynhilt said angrily.
"However, Count Giafel will definitely agree that his subordinates are all public-minded."
She paused and then said: "However, everyone in the staff, including the subordinates, also feel that after this battle, the assault ship will most likely become obsolete."
Brunhildt still agreed: "I used to think that this kind of small battleship prepared for jumping gang cover and filling in the line was of little significance. Now, they don't even have the firepower and maneuverability of this kind of lightning strike ship.
What is the need for the existence of opponents? However, it is not only this that is eliminated, but also arsenal ships and guard ships. The former is because it carries a large number of weapons and is thin-skinned and bulky. In front of the lightning strike ships with stronger penetration capabilities,
It is just a target; the latter is due to its slow speed and stiff maneuverability, and can no longer protect the fleet."
Compared to those armchair strategists on the staff, King Suliuka's ideas seemed to be more radical, but it was still the same sentence. Precisely because it was said by Brynhilt, Miss Chief of Staff immediately felt that it was very meaningful.
It makes sense.
"So, do we need to imitate this kind of lightning strike ship?"
"The people on earth are ahead of us in the miniaturization of space bubbles and light wings, but with the technological power of the empire, as long as we find the right direction, it is not particularly difficult to achieve a breakthrough. However, I always feel that if
We really only put too much effort into the torpedo ship, and maybe we will be fooled again." Brunhildt said.
"...Could it be because the person in charge of this lightning strike ship plan is Lieutenant General Yu Lian?"
"It's because he is the one who is in charge of this plan. In addition, there is also my intuition." Brunhilt said proudly with his head held high and his tone decisive.
Well, if it were just the former, Ostana would still want to complain, but with the latter, it suddenly seemed very convincing.
"Read the battle report carefully and you will find out. In the final analysis, the reason why the thunder strike ship can create jaw-dropping results is actually largely due to its sneak attacks. If it is on a frontal battlefield..." Bren
Hilt stopped talking, with a half-smiling expression on his face, as if he had fallen into his own world again.
"It won't work?" Ostana couldn't help but ask. She felt that as a qualified chief of staff, she still had the obligation to praise her.
"If it were me, of course I could use the lightning strike ship to create more brilliant results!" Brynhilt said proudly, with his head held high and his chest akimbo.
