    Chapter 274 Space Strategy (Part 1)

    Looking at the war records between the Empire and the Insat people since 2076, you can clearly find that in the many battles that have taken place in the past ten years, the human legions have always had an absolute advantage in the war, almost without exception.  Every battle was a one-sided massacre.  Judging from the post-war statistics, it seems that the Insat, whom Emperor Hoffmann regarded as a great enemy, are no match for humans at all.

    However, if you put aside these war records and simply examine the current situation, then you can find that in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, the scope of human influence seems to be always shrinking, while the scope of influence controlled by the Insat people has continued to shrink.  Expanding at a rocket-like speed.

    This is an incomprehensible contradiction that will even make the people of the empire have some doubts about the authenticity of the military battle reports.  After all, despite the army's successive victories, the sphere of influence it controls is constantly shrinking, which seems unreasonable no matter where you look at it.  Perhaps, only after truly understanding the Insat race and the way this race reproduces, people will understand what this is all about.

    Before Robin officially took over the imperial government in 2086 and terminated the extragalactic expedition plan, the empire had been pursuing the annihilation strategy formulated by Emperor Hoffman.

    Through research, Emperor Hoffmann discovered that the social system of the Insat people is very dependent on large strategic biological warships such as Dragon Chrysalis. It can be said that their entire civilization system is completed with Dragon Chrysalis as a carrier.  Analyzing the growth process of dragon pupae, it can be found that the growth of this giant creature is very slow.  Although in terms of their huge size, the growth period of only about a hundred years can be said to be very fast, but from a human perspective, the empire's productivity can allow the empire to produce dozens of Biron ships in a year.  Chrysalis is a larger and more combat capable Titan carrier.  So what about extending the time span to a hundred years?  What should this number be?

    Humanity¡¯s huge productivity is the biggest advantage against the Insat, which allows the human fleet to easily kill the Dragon Chrysalis battleship that the Insat took a hundred years to cultivate with a year¡¯s savings.  Therefore, Emperor Hoffmann, who saw this advantage, immediately listed the Insat Dragon Chrysalis battleship as the main target for attack.  He sent more than 70% of the empire's fleet to the extragalactic system, roaming in the starry sky, hunting any Dragon Chrysalis battleship they found.  With this kind of attrition war that the Insat people cannot bear, the effective strength of the Insat people will be slowly disintegrated.

    From a tactical perspective, this strategic plan of Emperor Hoffman is undoubtedly very clever.  After all, the growth cycle of Dragon Chrysalis is as long as a hundred years. Judging from the human lifespan, biological warships like Dragon Chrysalis are almost non-renewable weapons. Naturally, one less ship will be destroyed.  As long as the Dragon Chrysalis battleships can be continuously eliminated, then in the future, the Insat people will become toothless tigers, and it will be impossible for them to have the ability to conduct expeditionary invasions of the Milky Way.

    And judging from the early effects, this tactic of Emperor Hoffman has indeed achieved great success.  Not only did it destroy many Dragon Chrysalis battleships, it also continuously occupied dozens of star systems, quickly opening up a vast territory in the extragalactic system.

    However, the Insat are, after all, a high-end intelligent species. They are not beasts that do not know how to think and can only be hunted one by one by humans.  They quickly figured out a way to hide in asteroid belts to avoid being hunted by human fleets, and changed their main targets to planets to fight against humans with intrusive attacks by ground forces and the irregular release of dragon chrysalis eggs.  civilization.

    There is no doubt that this is a very rogue tactic.  This directly forced the empire to station a large number of armies on each planet, and the large territory occupied in the early stages of the Hoffmann expedition instantly became a huge burden on the empire.  Even many times, after the empire's ground forces finally gained a firm foothold on a planet, they discovered that there were already one or two dragon chrysalis eggs lurking inside the planet.  And this means that in a hundred years, the planet will collapse and become cosmic dust.  Therefore, gradually, the expeditionary force was forced by the current situation and began to no longer develop the planetary land it occupied. Instead, it regarded these planets as pure resource stars, and competed with the Insat people for resources in extragalactic systems through rapid mining.  So, in this case, the gradual reduction of territory is inevitable.

    It can be said that the later setbacks of the extragalactic galaxy expedition plan were entirely caused by the failure of the strategic plan to adapt to the times.  When human beings cannot choose the tactics that best suit them by leveraging their strengths and avoiding weaknesses, then at a strategic level, human beings are slowly losing the war.  Moreover, due to wrong strategic planning, the Imperial Army was too dispersed due to its vast territory, which made it impossible for every planet to completely protect against invasion.  In addition, coupled with the aristocratic enfeoffment system pursued by the empire, the empire had to rely excessively on the knightly aristocrats in its domestic development strategy.Having an army under his control has also laid a huge hidden danger in the country.

    It was not until Robin took over the power of the state instead of Emperor Hoffmann and carried out a series of political reforms that the current situation that plagued the empire was slowly improved.

    It is true that Robin terminated the expedition plan of the extragalactic system for five years, which indeed caused a large area of ??territory in the extragalactic system to be occupied by the Insat people.  However, when he personally experienced the Battle of Hayden Planet and witnessed how the Insat people fought, he formulated a new combat strategy for the empire, and it was the formulation of this grand strategy that began to promote humankind.  A true transformation towards the pattern of life in the universe.

    From 2022 to the present, it has been less than seventy years since humans left the earth and entered the universe.  In such a short time span, it is inevitable that human beings still retain the thinking mode of earth people. In other words, human beings may have entered the space age in terms of technology, but they still have not got rid of the shackles of earth people's thinking in terms of thinking and concepts.

    Just like now, when humans are clearly capable of building large-scale space fortresses with certain ecological recycling capabilities, humans are still accustomed to living on planets and developing planets one after another just like the earth.  And treat these planets as essential homes.

    If there is only one intelligent species like humans in the universe, then this development model is not undesirable.  But now, when humans face the Insat who feed on planets, the existence of this kind of thinking seems a bit stupid.

    Of course, at this stage, it is far easier to develop a planet with a superior ecological environment than to build a large space fortress. Therefore, it is impossible for Robin to completely abandon the planet now and forcefully change humans into pure dependence.  Mechanical space life.

    Like Emperor Hoffmann, he also regards planets with superior ecological environments as base camps that are extremely important to mankind.

    But the difference is that Robin is not aggressively trying to seize planets from the Insat people.  In terms of future development, he prefers to develop high-quality planets with natural and superior ecological environments that have not been set foot in by the Insat people.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The planet has to face less defensive pressure, and the army that needs to be stationed does not need to hoard huge numbers like a war zone.  This gives the Empire more opportunities to use its existing forces to occupy more galaxies, and use humans' productivity far beyond that of the Insat to make these galaxies impregnable in advance.

    As for those galaxies already occupied by the Insat people, Robin dealt with them with a different look.

    "Compared to the Insat people, the instant lethality and destructive power displayed by humans in war is far from what the Insat people, who have a more primitive combat mode, can match.  Therefore, when survival factors are put aside, the human army can easily annihilate the Insat army.  In the past, the empire's military was only controlled by the planet, and was more concerned about survival on the planet, so it was unable to fully exert its destructive power.  But now, Robin has begun to look at galaxies from the perspective of life in the universe, and the conclusions he has reached are completely different.

    This is just like apes and modern humans. If the planets are compared to mountains in the eyes of apes, then from the perspective of apes, mountains are everything to them.  They hunt in the mountains and live in caves. Even if there are other dangerous creatures living on the mountains, and even if there are snakes, insects, rats, and ants living in the caves, they will only try their best to eliminate those annoying things.  However, if you look at a mountain from a modern person's perspective, then when he feels that there are too many dangerous creatures living on this mountain, he will definitely blow up the mountain without hesitation and mine the rocks for use  Build houses and create a city more suitable for human habitation.

    Now, human beings have clearly mastered the technological strength to build cities, but they still retain the ape-man's thinking mode when they just stepped out of the mountains. They cling to the mountain of planets and refuse to let go. They have no idea that if this mountain is blown up,  Mountain, maybe they will live better.

    In the changing times of human history, the opening of every great era requires the guidance of a leader.  Now, Robin is the visionary leader.  After preemptively occupying high-quality planets and laying a good foundation for long-term human settlement in the Large Magellanic System, Robin began to use a barbaric strategic plan to eliminate all the Insat within sight.

    Under his orders, the empire that had unified the galaxy began to build the relevant components of the space fortress.  Under the escort of the fleet, he vigorously built a large space fortress with certain ecological recycling capabilities in the galaxy where the Insat people gathered seriously.  He no longer had any pity for those planets where dragon chrysalises were already dormant. He simply used artillery fire to plow the entire planet and blast it to pieces, completely accelerating it.collapse speed.  As for the resources needed by the fleet and space fortress, Robin launched a space material collection project, using the Nine-Star Republic's mature rare material collection system to plunder existing resources in the asteroid belt on a large scale.  This allows the Imperial Army to not only solve the problem of resources, but also clear out the main areas where the Insat people are dormant, which will help to completely drive the Insat people out of this galaxy.
