"They are gods and enemies. In a sense, the two of us have embarked on two completely different evolutionary paths. They chose to devour and absorb, and we chose symbiosis and endowing. If we compare them to those who have already become If God is the old god, then we are the new gods on the road to becoming gods. If God gives us enough time, then this war will eventually evolve into a power battle between gods."
"But we are still weak, and our chances of winning are still slim."
"Yes!" Yi Lexiang sighed, "But there is still hope after all, right?"
At some point, the roles of the two people in the conversation quietly switched. The comforter becomes the comforted. This also seems to indicate that deep in the heart of our young emperor, His Majesty has never lost the belief in persisting in the struggle.
The pace of the war is faster than everyone expected.
On the third day after the detection ship sent back the space fluctuation report, a piece of urgent information was placed on Yi Lexiang's desk.
"The planet Selsk was attacked by an unknown interstellar fleet?" The young generals of the Charno Empire gathered together, and the three-dimensional screen in the center of the hall played blurry images.
"Judging from the appearance of these battleships, this fleet does not belong to any human kingdom." Li Shaojun looked at the picture with worry, and several confidential staff behind him were busy doing various analyses.
There are four ghost mecha troops stationed in the defense circle of Selsk Star. Yi Lexiang has already received the news before the detailed information has been passed to the military headquarters. And he also knew that Selsk had fallen at this moment. The battle lasted less than four hours from its outbreak to its end. At present, Li Shaojun's intelligence department should not have received this information.
Selsk is located in the former Imperial Alliance and currently belongs to Marshal Tyr's interstellar defense zone. However, Selsk's location on the starry sky map is relatively remote, and there are no important strongholds worth defending nearby, so the deployment of troops is not strong. The largest defense base is just an outpost from forty years ago, with a total strength of less than 50,000 troops. However, considering that there is also a ghost brigade and three ghost mecha regiments stationed in the area, the fall in such a short period of time is enough to show the strength of the invading enemy.
"Marshal Tyr is currently mobilizing troops. Since the current information alone cannot determine whether the invading interstellar fleet is a forward fleet or a small harassment force of the enemy. Therefore, Marshal Tyr only raised the war zone alert to a pre-war state."
"What is the overall troop deployment situation in the Imperial Alliance theater?"
Wu Wei lowered his head and flipped through the relevant information, "The entire theater has one hundred and thirty-four main-level fleets; there are approximately one billion mecha troops, planetary garrison troops, and other ground combat troops, of which the ghost mecha share reaches 64; There are 376 battle fortresses, and the total military strength in the theater exceeds 5 billion. If necessary, another 18 billion reserve soldiers can be sent to the front within three months."
Yi Lexiang nodded noncommittally. The total military strength of just one theater of the Imperial Alliance has exceeded the total military strength of all forces during the human civil war. You must know that the Charno Republic only had nine main-level fleets at that time. This shows how hard everyone has worked for this in the past three years.
"Selsk fell a few hours ago." Yi Lexiang said helplessly. No one in the hall was surprised. With Selsk's strength, such an ending was almost doomed.
"Ghost mecha"
"They couldn't escape."
"Then what information can we use?"
Yi Lexiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "They were destroyed by artillery fire from space without even seeing the enemy's shadow. It seems that our enemies are not preparing to occupy territory at all."
Although they were prepared in their hearts, everyone still couldn¡¯t help but look sad. In other words, this will be an endless war.
"In other words, the only information we have is the image data sent back at the beginning of the battle?!" Li Shaojun raised his eyebrows slightly, "Have you contacted the Academy of Sciences? What is the result of the analysis?" He turned around Ask your subordinates.
A staff officer raised his head and said, "The enemy's interference is too serious, and the images sent back are somewhat distorted. In addition, the images are sent back from monitoring satellites far away from the core of the battlefield, so the information obtained is very limited."
"Say what you have to say. Even if it is a guess, you can tell it. Understanding the enemy's intelligence is very important for the next war."
"Yes! Judging from the images, the opponent's starship is very large. The specific details and firepower cannot be obtained from the images. According to the initial enemy report, the enemy appeared very suddenly. The local garrison did not receive any information in advance.No instrument warning. Since we have not deployed a space monitoring device in Selsk, it is not yet clear whether the enemy directly jumped out of space to launch an attack, or carried out some kind of tactical camouflage. Analysis by the Academy of Sciences believes that the space environment of the star field near Selsk is relatively complex, and the location where the opponent launched the attack has entered the planet's gravitational circle, making the latter more likely. "
"Where is the opinion of the Military Strategic Analysis Office?"
"They believe that the analysis results of the Academy of Sciences cannot be used as tactical suggestions. Because when the Academy of Sciences made the above analysis, its false goal was still based on human technology."
"Well, not bad!" A smile of approval appeared on Yi Lexiang's face, "My painstaking teachings have not been in vain. These boys have finally begun to change their thinking on combat."
Wu Wei and Chen Yatian couldn't help rolling their eyes. What a joke. Yi Lexiang can't go to the strategic analysis room a few times a year. I really don't know where his so-called painstaking teachings come from.
"Is there any more?"
"The number of enemy ships is probably between 50,000 and 100,000. Since there are no energy data samples, it is impossible to judge the energy attributes used by the opponent's strike firepower. However, judging from the appearance characteristics, it does not seem to belong to the category of functional weapons."
"Well, the ghost mecha should be able to provide some useful information." Li Shaojun turned back to look at Yi Lexiang.
"Hmmit seems to be some kind of highly corrosive liquid substance that will quickly spread into mist when exposed to air. It is unknown whether it is toxic or not." Yi Lexiang replied.
"Biological weapons? Send this information to the Academy of Sciences immediately to see what they have in mind."
"Yes!" the young combat staff member responded. While sending the message, the combat consultant whispered, "Speaking of biological weapons, these battleships look a bit like the pupa of some kind of creature."
"Hey, what did you say? Repeat it again."
"Report, I said from the images, the appearance of those unidentified warships is a bit like biological chrysalises."
Yi Lexiang and the others looked at each other and once again turned their attention to the blurry image on the three-dimensional curtain wall.
"It does look a bit like it!" Wu Wei nodded, "Is there any civilization in the universe that has developed biological battleships?" He asked, asking Yi Lexiang. Although it is unclear why Yi Lexiang has a different understanding of cosmic creatures than ordinary people, there is no doubt that Yi Lexiang has some information that humans do not know.
"The world is full of wonders. Biological battleships and even single-organism battleship civilizations that develop and replicate themselves exist. Battleships that use biological weapons should probably belong to some advanced biological civilization."
"How is the Ghost Mecha's resistance to such corrosive weapons?"
"It's not completely immune." Yi Lexiang thought for a moment and replied, "If hit by a small amount, the biological mecha can repair itself." As if he thought of something, Yi Lexiang's face changed slightly, "But this weapon seems to be very sensitive to metal. It is very corrosive. Our star battleship" He reached out and pressed the emergency communication button in front of him, "Notify the Academy of Sciences and ask them to immediately set up a research team composed of biologists and armor material scientists to study the main topics. Biological corrosion. Well, I will go there in person later. Yes, you let them make preliminary preparations first."
After the call ended, Yi Lexiang raised his head and said, "Also inform Chief Tier of this news and ask him to take precautions in advance."
Next, several staff members did some analysis, but due to lack of information, it did not have much practical value.
Wu Wei waved his hand, "You guys go down first and report any situation immediately."
"yes!"
Yi Lexiang watched the staff leave and asked, "What are the combat opinions of Chief Tier?"
"Waiting for work, waiting for opportunities." Chen Yatian replied with a faint smile on his lips.
"It seems that our veteran is not ready to strike preemptively this time." Li Shaojun joked,
"It's not that Marshal Tire doesn't want to strike first, but the conditions don't allow him to do so." Yi Lexiang smiled bitterly, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Marshal Tire has always been meticulous in his work. I believe he will make the most reasonable decision. Effective tactical arrangements. But any tactical arrangement must be supported by detailed, accurate, and complete intelligence. This is what we should do now."
Yi Lexiang pondered for a moment, "Wu Wei, you and Yatian are responsible for armaments and logistics, and must ensure the supply of materials in the Imperial Alliance theater; if the war situation is unfavorable, you must also help Marshal Tire evacuate civilians to the rear. All these tasks must be prepared in advance.¡±
Chen Yatian and Wu Wei nodded at the same time.
"Currently, we are still unable to confirm that the Imperial Alliance theater is the enemy'sPeople¡¯s main direction of attack. Therefore, other war zones cannot relax their vigilance. I will send out all reconnaissance ships and detection ships. They can fly as far as they can and monitor the entire starry sky.
Young Master, your task is the most important. Now that the first shot of the four Purcells has been fired, the battle will become more intensive in the future. You must understand the information we urgently need to know. The most urgent information now is whether our starry sky early warning system is effective against enemy warships. If we don't solve this problem, we will remain passive and vulnerable. "
