"That's right! If a war breaks out in the stars, the Alliance side will definitely lose. We can see this, and the top leaders of the Alliance army must also understand this truth. The way to resolve the current crisis is to dispatch more reinforcements or simply cancel the battle, and only defend without Attack. In any case, the Tianlun Five Stars are still in our hands. With the defenses on the Tianlun Five Stars, we should be able to level the strength of both sides. After all, the cost paid by the attacking side is higher."
"I'm afraid it's impossible to dispatch reinforcements. Charno has a vast territory, and the current pressure on each defense line is already heavy. If we continue to draw troops, it may eventually cause a chain reaction and trigger a complete collapse of the entire defense line. It is far away to dispatch reinforcements from the Democratic Alliance. If it¡¯s not close, let alone Douglas¡¯s arrogant character, I¡¯m afraid he wouldn¡¯t make such a decision to slap himself.¡±
"It seems that the recent seemingly stupid actions of the Democratic Alliance are probably sending a signal to the Imperial Alliance that they will never take the initiative to launch an attack."
"Well, that makes sense. Either you attack, or we all continue to be in a stalemate. The Imperial Alliance fights far away from homeland, and the logistics pressure is relatively heavy. A long-term stalemate is not good for the Empire. However, doing so would be incompatible with their status as a major alliance, which is a bit It means being a scumbag."
"Over time, the pressure on logistics supply will offset the empire's advantage in combat power. Although there are some suspicions of being a cheat, it can be regarded as a countermeasure. From this point of view, Douglas is not entirely a big idiot!" It immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.
"Huh! This is just Douglas's wishful thinking. The Imperial people may not follow his ideas." Xin Qiang curled his lips and said with a sneer. If the Democratic Alliance had not always refused to send troops, the situation in Charno would not have deteriorated to this point. The military general Charno has always lacked a good impression of the Democratic Alliance because of this matter, and Xin Qiang's sarcastic attitude is the best evidence of this.
"Judging from the information currently available, the Empire's military strength in the Tianlun planetary system does not form an overwhelming advantage. If we only look at numbers without considering the actual combat power of both sides, the Alliance Army still has a slight upper hand. If the Alliance Army If we proceed steadily, the empire seems to have no loopholes to exploit." A mature and serious staff officer analyzed, and several other staff officers nodded in agreement.
Yi Lexiang smiled softly, "There are no loopholes in Tianlun Five Stars, which does not mean that there are no loopholes in other places. I studied the empire's military deployment and found something interesting. Look!"
Yi Lexiang pressed a few buttons, and a long list of troop numbers was immediately displayed on the tactical screen, "This is the troop number we have deployed by the Imperial Alliance on Tianlun Five Stars. Although the Empire must still be hiding some of its strength, But these alone are enough for us to make some bold inferences. Don¡¯t you think there is something missing here?¡±
Everyone in the command module watched carefully. The list listed a total of forty-two interstellar fleets, large and small, including eleven A-class fleets, eight B-class fleets, and the rest were some squadrons or auxiliary fleets. After studying for a while, several people looked up at Yi Lexiang in confusion.
"What? Don't you see anything fishy?"
"Lieutenant General Yi, please stop being so secretive. Tell me, what did you find?"
¡°Isn¡¯t it surprising that none of the imperial ace fleet showed up?¡±
Several staff officers re-examined the imperial fleet list. Yi Lexiang was right. There was no imperial fleet number they were familiar with in the list. After several years of the Great Patriotic War, everyone is familiar with most of the main forces active on the front lines of the empire. After Yi Lexiang's reminder, everyone suddenly realized that there seemed to be no sign of their old rival.
"Why do the Imperial people hide all their trump cards? Isn't it weird?"
"It's a bit strange. Do the Imperial people use their aces as strategic reserves? It doesn't make sense!"
"Perhaps the Imperial people look down on the Alliance Army at all, and they didn't send their ace troops to join the war at all. Is there anything strange about it?" Xin Qiang said casually without sounding good-tempered.
The air in the command cabin seemed to suddenly become solid, and everyone who was shaken looked at Xin Qiang, who was confused and confused. "What's wrong?" Xin Qiang felt a little nervous when everyone stared at him. Obviously, he was deeply surprised that his casual words triggered such a violent reaction from everyone.
But Xin Qiang¡¯s words awakened the dreamer. Yes, the Empire¡¯s ace fleet was not in the Tianlun Five Stars at all. From the beginning to the end, they never thought about having an interstellar battle with the Alliance. Douglas's military actions were nothing more than his own wishful thinking. The Imperial Alliance's series of military actions around the Tianlun Five Stars were simply misleading the Alliance's command decisions. This also explains the rather surprising response strategy of the Imperial Alliance, which seems to be in response to beingThe alliance led the way, but all this turned out to be just a smoke screen to cover up their real military operations.
"Yes, the Battle of Yaoguang Star allowed the Imperial Alliance to figure out the true combat strength of the Alliance Army. Through simple logical calculations, they can roughly estimate the force required to maintain a military balance with the Democratic Alliance on Tianlun Five Stars. Douglas said so He mobilized his troops with great fanfare, and anyone who wasn't a fool knew what he was going to do. The Imperials were just following the plan.
In fact, I think the Imperial people have been waiting for such an opportunity since the Battle of Yaoguang Star. The Tianlun Five Stars alliance battle is just them catering to the smoke emitted by Douglas. The problem is that we don't know where their real goal is. "A look of worry appeared on Yi Lexiang's face.
"What a big deal! The transfer of so many troops turned out to be just a tactical deception! Douglas is in trouble this time." A staff officer murmured after sorting out his thoughts. "I wonder who planned all this?" As he spoke, there was a hint of admiration and worry on his face.
"Don't you feel familiar? This tactical style seems a bit like one of our 'old friends'!"
"Intensify!" Everyone in the command cabin looked at each other and exclaimed in unison.
On that day, Yi Lexiang destroyed the Empire's logistics base in Tesno. Everyone thought that the Empire would suspend the attack because of this. However, Jiale used the space channel left by Yi Lexiang when he jumped into the sky, and unexpectedly cut off the logistics supply line of the Kador defense line, which directly led to the collapse of the entire Kador defense line. Although Yi Lexiang led the mecha regiment to turn the tide and achieve the final retreat at the last moment, the amazing tactical thinking of this famous imperial general still left an indelible impression on everyone.
"This is troublesome" Xin Qiang murmured, and several staff officers sitting next to him nodded. If it is really Jia Lie who is planning all this behind the scenes, his plans must be huge, and this is really troublesome.
"With such a long defense line, where will Jiale launch a surprise attack?" A senior staff officer looked at the vast interstellar defense line with a headache. His eyes kept scanning back and forth on the huge starry sky, and the command module fell into a brief silence. .
"General?" Others looked at Yi Lexiang hopefully,
Yi Lexiang shook his head with a wry smile and spread his hands, "I just realized that something was wrong when we were doing the full theater simulation. The problem is that the line of defense that may launch an attack is so long, and we don't have any intelligence about the empire's ace troops. , there is no way to infer." Yi Lexiang picked up the electronic pen and drew several points one after another on the starry sky map, "Assuming our speculation is correct, these strategic targets are most likely to be attacked. The Imperial people have spent so much money Strength cannot be trivial. The problem is"
Everyone in the command cabin looked at the target marked by Yi Lexiang on the starry sky map, and shook their heads with a wry smile. These targets are far away from each other, and they are all strategic locations that can affect the whole body. The fleet was only powerful enough to respond to one of them.
"I will contact Chief of Staff Bo Jiangang immediately to see if they can provide some assistance." A staff officer stood up in a hurry and walked towards the neutrino communication device.
"Wait," Yi Lexiang called to the staff officer, "I'll talk to Staff Officer Bo Jiangang in person. You guys can discuss it again. I don't think this 'bomb' will be detonated in a short time. , I am afraid that a tactical victory with a strong temper will not arouse his interest. I estimate that the last son of his design will fall on Tianlun Five Stars. Taking Charno is of little significance to the Imperial Alliance, their goal It should be to open up the two major interstellar corridors and directly attack the homeland of the Democratic Alliance."
"You mean we were all deceived?" The holographic screen projected a holographic image of Bo Jiangang, with a hint of horror on his face.
As Charno¡¯s chief of staff, Bo Jiangang also participated in the formulation of the Tianlun Five Stars¡¯ combat plan. Although he did not agree with Douglas's idea of ??launching a coalition battle, he never expected that the Imperials would use this opportunity to set such a big trap for the coalition forces. He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness when he thought that all the efforts of so many chiefs of staff of the Alliance Army were just smoke released by the Imperials.
"How confident are you in your inference?" After a moment of silence, Bo Jiangang asked again. In fact, he already believed Yi Lexiang's conclusion. It can be said that he watched Yi Lexiang step by step from ordinary to brilliant. The young man's talents in tactics and strategy always surprised him, and he was even a little jealous. He just doesn't want to accept this fact yet.
"80%!" Yi Lexiang answered after thinking for a while.
"80%? Haha That's basically a sure thing." Bo Jiangang smiled bitterly, "I will apply for the convening of the Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting right away. You can put your recommendationPlease sort it out and send it to me later. I will have the Allied Forces Staff compile a complete intelligence record and send it to your private optical brain. "After pondering for a moment, Bo Jiangang said again: "You also have a rough understanding of the situation on my side. Even if my application to convene a chiefs of staff meeting is approved, it is difficult to predict how effective it will be. Don't get your hopes up. Everything depends on yourselves. In short, you remember that Charno's interests are above all else, do you understand? "
