In the Imperial Alliance Staff Headquarters, in the Joint Chiefs of Staff Conference Hall, Till handed the small, button-like data recording disk to the staff officer aside and motioned for him to play the contents on the three-dimensional screen. Some of the chiefs of staff of various countries in the conference room had deep sleepy looks on their faces, and some were sipping strong black coffee from their cups. Late at night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, Tire suddenly convened an emergency Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting, which surprised many people. But as soldiers, especially those who have long been accustomed to being woken up from their sleep, even if they could not hide the sleepiness on their faces, they immediately realized that something unexpected might have happened.
"It is absolutely necessary to wake you up from your sleep at this time!" Tyr said with a serious look on his face, "But this matter is extremely important. I think it would be more appropriate to hold this meeting overnight." Tyr's serious face and The heavy tone quickly dispelled the sleepiness on everyone's faces. Everyone looked at Tier who was sitting upright with doubts on their faces.
¡°A few hours ago, we received a piece of top-secret information! You should still remember the ¡®fishy fish¡¯ plan we implemented a few days ago!¡±
The faces of the chiefs of staff immediately showed surprise. The unexpected ending of the first alliance battle was shocking, especially the amazing performance of the Charno people's new starships, which was revealed to everyone through the Jialie Mouth who rushed back from the front line. Of course, most people were skeptical of the heightened retelling. This doubt was not directed at Jia Lie. A star-renowned general would obviously never bother to use lies to explain his defeat. What everyone is wondering is whether Charno has the ability to develop an epoch-making war weapon. For this reason, the "fish out of sight" plan came into being. Originally, the Imperial Ministry did not pay enough attention to the introduction of Charno's new starship into the battlefield, but the Empire's "Mole" accidentally discovered that Eryas and Eltar, the two superpowers of the Democratic Alliance, Secretly formed a joint scientific expedition fleet. Its mission turned out to be to secretly contact Charno, which undoubtedly greatly stimulated the sensitive nerves of the Imperial people. After several twists and turns, the intelligence agency finally obtained the details of the entire plan through various channels, and secretly disguised one of its spies as a military expert in the scientific advisory group through an interstellar ambush to infiltrate the scientific advisory group. The purpose of the ship-breaking attack that confused Lieutenant Colonel Lisa was to secretly replace a member of the advisory board with a spy who had undergone plastic surgery. Fortunately, the Intelligence Department's whimsical plan not only succeeded, but also sent back relevant information that the General Staff was eager to obtain. However, it is a pity that at the last moment, the alliance intelligence department still discovered the secretly lurking spy, so the intelligence currently obtained by the staff headquarters is not complete, only a small part of it. But even this small part rattled Tire's nerves and he had to convene a meeting of the Joint Chiefs of Staff overnight.
Experts from the Imperial Academy of Sciences have already processed the intelligence, so what they see at the Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting is not boring data one by one, but the relevant assessment results obtained by the experts based on the incomplete information.
"This is probably the case! It can basically be determined that the Charno people have indeed developed an epoch-making starship, and its combat capabilities far exceed all levels of starships we currently have."
"Could Earlas and Elta be acting together with Charno?" Someone put forward a hypothesis.
"What's the purpose?" Tier shook his head, "This doesn't make sense."
"It's a pity that there are no detailed parameters required to build this kind of starship. Otherwise, we can infer the difficulty of building this kind of starship, and then infer the specific scale of the opponent's possible war. If the number is small, regardless of the number of such starships, No matter how powerful it is, it will not greatly improve the battle situation."
"If we can infer from the importance attached by Eryas and Elta, the power of this new starship is probably far beyond our imagination, otherwise Eryas and Elta would not abandon the Alliance and Charno What kind of agreement are you signing in secret?"
"According to the intelligence we have, Charno refused to provide the technology for building starships to these two countries, but only provided the entire ship. This tells us at least two things. First, Charno's hidden secret base Have the strength to build or mass-build this new ship. In other words, Charno is far from being as vulnerable as it seems on the surface. Second, they are quite confident in their shipbuilding technology, even if they deliver the entire ship to two countries They use it without leaking their own technology. This shows that the technology of these starships may be very advanced."
Tyr coughed a few times and interrupted everyone's conversation, "Everyone, the sudden emergence of Charno has disrupted the strategic goals we set before the war. Right now, we are facing a dilemma. Should we continue to attack the mainland of Charno and destroy this ancient city? Will the empire be completely wiped out from the interstellar world? Or will it open up the interstellar passage to the Star Alliance homeland and bring the war to the actual star domain controlled by the Star Alliance?"
"I feltDecharno had nothing to worry about, as they had already lost more than two-thirds of their territory. Most of the energy mines and resource stars have also fallen into our hands, and it will be difficult to make any difference in a short period of time. Our main goal should still be the Star Alliance. "
"But if we give Charno a chance to breathe, will it turn into a serious problem for us? You know, so far, most of our casualties on the battlefield have been caused by the Charno people. And don't forget The Charno people also control the secret space gate starry sky channel that we don¡¯t know about. If we fight with the Star Alliance with all our strength, and they attack our mainland hinterland in large numbers, the consequences"
For a time, the people in the conference room were divided into two groups, each expounding their own views. Tier frowned, unable to make a decision for a moment. Both sides have their own truths, and some issues cannot be avoided at all. In his heart, he is even more afraid of Charno, especially the missing young general. But with the Democratic Alliance joining the war, the possibility of an all-out attack on Charno has also come to naught. Obviously, the Democratic Alliance will never allow the Imperials to capture the only buffer zone between the two.
"Your Majesty the Marshal!" the man who had been keeping silent spoke loudly, "Rather than saying that Charno is our serious concern, it is better to say that Yi Lexiang is our serious concern. What we are afraid of is nothing more than his hands. New starships and his ability to directly attack the Empire's homeland. But he has one biggest weakness: the lack of troops in his hands. Let's look at several confrontations between the Empire and him. The largest force he dispatched was a main force. The size of the fleet. I made a rough estimate. Kador's defeated combat power plus the original ninth fleet in his hands, the total number of troops is considerable. But Charno will put all the troops in the hands of a young man ? I think this is unlikely! Therefore, we can form a ** fleet specifically to deal with him. From an overall perspective, the Democratic Alliance is still our main opponent. After all, the Democratic Alliance has a vast and wealthy star field. The war potential is not comparable to that of the small Charno. Even though Charno has amazing starship construction technology, without the support of various related resources, it is unlikely that they will build too many starships. We As long as the channel through which Elyas and Elta secretly deliver supplies to the Charno people is blocked, and Yi Lexiang cannot provide a sufficient number of starships for the two countries to use, it will not be long before the fragile alliance between them is destroyed. It will collapse naturally. Moreover, we can also reveal this news to other member states of the alliance and trigger civil strife in them"
Tier nodded, the stronger proposal was obviously more practical. It is much more reliable than other people's words on paper.
"Well, do as you wish! Don't you have a combined fleet on the front line? Now I authorize you to use this fleet as a prototype to form a ** fleet. Your task is to firmly contain Yi Lexiang's Fleet, three S-class fleets, plus two A-class fleets, well, one of them has been lost, right? Then two A-class fleets will be transferred from the rear to supplement it for you. In this way, you will have There are six main fleets, which should be enough. Remember, your task is to contain Yi Lexiang's troops, not to completely eliminate him. Don't let the tragedy of the alliance war happen again. I believe that in the next few days, you You should also find a way to deal with the new starship weapons, right?"
"Yes, avoid starship shooting with opponents. As long as the starships are not gathered together, their weapons will not be able to exert their power."
"Yes, this is also the suggestion of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. As long as the main force of the empire can invade the homeland of the Democratic Alliance, your mission will be completed. At that time, we will be free to completely solve the problem of Charno."
??¡ª¡ª
"This is the latest enemy situation report from Chief of Staff Bo! Take a look at it! It seems that the Empire has already made a decision, and they have shifted their focus of attack to the Alliance." Wu Wei walked into Yi Lexiang's messy office , the large desk is covered with various drawings. It does not look like a place where a military commander works, but like the workshop of a scientific worker.
"As expected!" Yi Lexiang straightened up and twisted his stiff waist. "How is the construction of the new starship going?"
"With the backing of the endless resources of the Black Star Region, we have built a total of 70,000 starships during this period. In addition to the 40,000 ships we provided to Eryas and Elta, we can still retain 30,000 ships."
"Well, the starships provided to Eryas and Elta will be cut in half. We have to give them the illusion that our industrial base is quite weak. Only in this way will they feel at ease with us."
"Haha, okay. I find that you are getting more and more cunning now. This is not like the Yi Lexiang I know." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***. ***) Vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation.)
