In the study, it was quiet, except for the ticking of the old-fashioned clock that remained unchanged amid the solidified smoke.
The sun shines through the window and shines on Macchia¡¯s desk. The old man's eyes were half-squinted in the warm golden light. The turbulent years of the past seem to be returning to us with the warmth of the sun.
"What were you thinking when you heard that General Wang Nanxu was leading the army to attack the Beihai Galaxy?" The reporter smiled and nodded to a middle-aged officer who put down his coffee, then looked back at Macchia and asked.
"time."
The officer who brought the coffee withdrew, and the study became quiet again. Amidst the ticking clock, the old man's voice was extremely clear.
"Time?" the reporter asked.
"Yes, time." The old man said, smoking his pipe.
"In war, time is an extremely important element. You can use the time difference to magically double or triple your troop strength. You can also use time traps to lead your opponent by the nose and make him follow you and run for his life. You can even pinch his neck and force him to change his battle plan, causing his strategic advantage to disappear in an instant!"
"So, what impact will the attack on Jiepen and Sousse have on the southeast war situation?" the reporter asked.
"Decades after the war ended, many experts have made in-depth analyzes of the Southeast Campaign. Do you need me to say more?" The old man smiled and shook his head, took off the pipe in his mouth and said: "If you must listen to me If you have any opinions, then I will tell you"
The reporter laughed sheepishly.
As this old man who was so approachable and without any airs of a marshal said, he had done enough homework and naturally understood the impact that Wang Nanxu's attack on Su and Jie would have on the entire war situation.
But, compared to the post-analysis of those military scientists, he wanted to listen to the eighty-year-old man in front of him in this quiet study to tell him the most intuitive views of a participant back then.
"We all know that Sobol's purpose of going south is to open up the southeast passage and complete the strategic encirclement of the Iron Triangle of the Fiji Alliance. At the same time, he will rescue Jepen and Sous. The purpose of our southeastern coalition is exactly the opposite."
The old man smoked his pipe and said: "If General Tian Xingjian takes artificial intelligence as the first comparison condition between the two sides, then time is the second condition"
The second condition is time!
Machia understood Fatty¡¯s strategy in an instant.
The battle that broke out in the southeast was, in essence, a blocking war.
Sobol wanted to open the southeast passage before the Soviet-Japanese coalition forces completely collapsed.
??The Fiji League will block it to the west of the Southeast Passage until Chamberlin and Li Hongwu complete the Battle of Resk, knocking out the last main force of the Soviet Union and Jie, and forcing them to withdraw from the war!
When the two countries Su and Jie will collapse, this point in time is the middle line between ourselves and Sobol in terms of time elements. Whoever breaks this line first will achieve the strategic goal!
What is the purpose of war? Isn¡¯t it to achieve strategic goals?
If Sobol cannot open up the southeast passage and march into Resk before the two countries are exhausted, then even if he wipes out all the countries in the southeast galaxy and kills all the southeastern coalition forces, he will still lose!
¡°The loss of the two major member states, Sousse and Jeppen, will be an extremely heavy blow to West York. This also means the complete bankruptcy of the iron triangle strategy of surrounding the Fiji League.
??For the Fiji League, it not only means that there are two less ferocious enemies and avoids the enemy's strategic encirclement, but also means that the Reske Front will be completely liberated in the short term. This huge main force, composed of four additional troops, whether it goes south to Leray or north to Triflaland, is a shot in the arm for the coalition forces that are stretched thin at the moment!
Since the Battle of the Twin Stars Corridor, both Western York and the Fiji League have believed that there is no doubt that Sobor can break through to the southeast.
Even within the Southeastern Allied Forces, after losing the central star system jump point, they had no hope of dragging the war to the point where Su and Jie surrendered.
Multiple deductions at the base camp have shown that once Sobol captures the capital star of Lere, it will take up to a week for the Western-Jordan coalition forces to completely open the southeast passage and head north to Lesk!
It only took two or three weeks in total. No matter how powerful Qian Bailin and Li Hongwu were, they couldn't make Mikami Yuuto surrender and admit defeat. As long as Sobol still has the advantage in the southeast, Mikami Yuuto will try his best to hold him back even if he is delayed!
However, no one expected that Fatty would quietly incite the Salega Federation and transfer all of Lelei¡¯s remaining fleets and those from Fes.The three remaining Allied fleets were all sent to the North Sea Galaxy!
Forty A-class fleets were just a small trouble for Suss and Jiepen in the past, and could be easily solved by any country.
However, when they suffered a bloody blow in the Lerei Patriotic War and lost a large number of troops in Lesk, Longbow and Bermuda, what was now concentrated in the hands of Mikami Yuuto was their last family fortune!
Not to mention that the number of domestic guard fleets is very small and the majority of them are police ships with little combat effectiveness. Even if they are all military warships, how can they be Wang Nanxu's opponent?
"My order to the fleet is to destroy without limit!"
When the fat man's voice rang in his ears, Macchia and the generals present couldn't help but take a breath.
They can completely imagine what kind of damage the forty A-class fleets would do to Suss and Jiepen if they did not aim at occupying the planet, but only tried their best to destroy it.
That would be a shocking tragedy!
Thousands of warships will attack all buildings, airports, space stations, space docks, space bases and even satellites and artificial suns in the two countries' space. They will all be destroyed and no one will be spared. Within a few days, no complete building will be visible in space between the two countries, and no spacecraft will be visible on the waterway!
At the same time, countless space fighters will break into the atmosphere and bomb indiscriminately. Cities will be razed to the ground, with above-ground cabins, ports and material warehouses, as well as industrial and agricultural production areas reduced to ashes.
Once the daily necessities drop to a certain level and there are no spaceships to transport supplies, the already turbulent social conflicts between the two countries will quickly intensify.
Gangsters will cause riots, commit crimes, and loot everything. And those lower-class ethnic groups who have long been unable to endure this war will seize this golden opportunity without hesitation. Launched an armed riot far more intense than ever before. Even if they cannot overthrow the rule of the two royal families, they will attack all superior ethnic groups and nobles.
Once these ethnic groups are oppressed to the extreme by the racial system, once they break out, their destructive power will be even greater than forty A-class fleets!
Ruthless!
Fatty¡¯s stab was too harsh!
Recalling the time when he went to Salega, everyone felt chills in their vests.
At that time, it was when the battle of the Double Star Corridor broke out. At such a critical time, if it were anyone here, the first thought would probably be to drag the Salega fleet to the Double Star Corner to join the battle!
But Fatty sent them directly to Suss! If he hadn't already judged the entire battle situation, and if this guy hadn't been so evil-minded, how could he have stabbed him so cleanly?
I¡¯m afraid that in his heart, besides dealing with Sobol, he also has thoughts of revenge!
The Lerei fleet that he sent to the two countries were all veterans of the Lerei Federation who had survived the Great Patriotic War for several years. He has defeated Gacharin, Dethik, Suss, and Jeppon, and even fought Sheldon to the death in the Newton Galaxy, fighting for the rest of his life. In terms of hatred towards the two countries, Su and Jie, and in terms of ruthlessness, any one of them would be no worse than the fat man!
Being killed by these guys into the hinterland, Suss and Jiepen were unlucky! In three days at most, the two countries will fall into extreme turmoil.
In addition, after the decisive battle in the Canglang Star airspace, Mikami Yuuto lost the ability to conduct large-scale battles. The possibility of taking down Reske with the strength of the two countries is infinitely zero.
When the foundation of their royal family¡¯s rule began to shake, and when Nicholas V and O¡¯Brady III had to count on Mikami Yuuto¡¯s fleet to come back to quell the rebellion, the time had come for them to compromise with the Fiji League!
With the military quality of the generals present, how could they not tell how powerful it was!
It¡¯s like a contemporary 100-meter sprinter who can easily run nearly eight seconds. However, the further you go up by one second, the more difficult it becomes. If you want him to run 100 meters in five seconds, then let him give up the race!
The same is true for Sober! He may be able to defeat the Southeastern Alliance, but he may not be able to annihilate the Southeastern Alliance within the specified time! At the same time, the shortening of time also meant that he had to change his offensive rhythm and even give up his original battle plan! For any commander, this is fatal!
This is the power of time!
If the previous Sobol was a tank that was too powerful to be shaken and too precise to have any flaws, then when he was forced to travel at a speed exceeding his original setting, there might be a problem with a certain component. You may also fall into the abyss due to stalling!
In the conference room, everyone looked at Fatty differently.
Surprise, awe, admiration Everyone understands that without the determination to fight Sobol to the end, and without long-term calculation and preparation, there is absolutely no way to face Sobol at this moment. Gain an advantage in time conditions!
The one with more temples wins.
Fatty made his first unceremonious tit-for-tat move on the chessboard against Sobol!
Under the complicated gazes of everyone, the fat man said: "The participation of the Salega Federation will greatly shorten the progress of the Lesk war. However, in my opinion, this is not enough to pose a threat to Sobol."
He walked from the head of the conference table to the end of the table and turned around.
Everyone¡¯s eyes followed him.
"There are two things that you may be surprised about. One is why I gave up the jumping point, and the other is why I let Tony and Hayreddin lead the fleet to the Galileo system."
The generals were silent. Ever since Fatty gave up the jumping point and let the Phantom Second Group Fleet led by Tony and the Bandit Eleventh Fleet led by Hayredin leave the main force a few days ago and disappeared without a trace, these two problems have been existing in their minds.
If Fatty hadn¡¯t said it himself today, they wouldn¡¯t have known that Tony and Hayredin had gone to the Galileo Galaxy.
"Let's talk about the second question first." The fat man took a deep breath. From the layout to the present, even though he had repeatedly deduced every link in his heart, this was after all a decisive battle that affected the entire Fei Alliance. From the time in the elevator of the Redbeard Pirate Base to the present, whether the Leray Federation can be reborn depends on this battle.
Therefore, when he had to reveal all his plans at this moment, he was still a little nervous.
"More than four years ago, at the beginning of the Lere Patriotic War, the Gacharin Empire occupied the Galileo galaxy and invaded the Newton galaxy. At that time, our Lere Federation fleet completely lost control of these two galaxies. . Forced to retreat to the central galaxy. Later, when we counterattacked, in addition to attacking the Newton jump point, we also sent a fleet to enter the Galileo galaxy through the secret jump point in the public galaxy"
The fat man walked to the interstellar map and pointed at the Galileo Galaxy with his hand: "The only people who know about this jumping point are Admiral Mikhailovich, Admiral Bernadotte and a few others."
He turned around: "But now, I have entered the coordinates into the automatic navigator of Tony and Hayreddin's flagship. Tony will use these coordinates to enter the public star system, reversely block the jump point of the central star system, and rob and kill all Western systems. The transport fleet of the agreement! And Hayredin will enter the territory of the Dethik Empire again via the free shipping channel, and cooperate with the coalition forces of Puditok and Tatania to attack all targets that can be attacked in the Dethik Empire!"
It was quiet in the conference room. The generals stared at the fat man with wide eyes, as if they were seeing a monster!
This is a combination punch!
The fight was also the most uncomfortable time for Sober!
If attacking the two countries of Su and Jie is a straitjacket, then strangling Sobol's supplies is an arrow piercing the heart. The two countries of Su and Jie may be able to sustain themselves for a week or two. Without logistical supplies, Sobol's fleet could last up to three days!
Since the beginning of human war, the most vicious strategy is to cut off food routes! Tony's letter, Hairedin's attack, and the bandits' early attack on Desik, the West York grain road was completely cut off!
"General Tian" Fujii Gang stared at the star map and asked with some confusion: "If Sobol captures the capital star, then we cut off its logistics transportation line, I'm afraid .¡±
"This is the first question I am going to answer everyone"
The expression on the fat man¡¯s face is as sinister as it is ugly.
"Perhaps in the eyes of everyone, the capital of the Lere Federation is a place that is impossible to give up. However, I can tell everyone that except for the army deployed by us, there are no civilians or any supplies in the capital star. !¡±
The fat man¡¯s words were like thunder, causing the generals to jump up.
"Not only the capital planet, but also all the immigrant planets in the Lere Federation are now empty of people. We have taken away everything that can be taken away. What cannot be taken away, it is useless for the people of Xiyo to hold it! "
Everyone stared blankly at the fat man's mouth. In their opinion, every word coming out of this mouth is extremely poisonous!
"I let them in just to let their army land! Let them go down but not come up, and they will be locked up in the capital star! Even if Sobor wants to retreat and open the transportation channel, he will have to pay hundreds of The most elite armored division in Western Europe and even all the judges will be paid as the price!"
The study fell into silence again.
Even though the war has been over for decades, when the reporter heard these words, he still felt a chill coming out.
Machia said, knocking the residue in the pipe, refilling the tobacco, and lighting it. "You know, originally I admired Miss Margaret, and Tsuyoshi Fujii also wanted to compete with the fat man a few more times"
The old man¡¯s face was looming in the smoke.
"But since then, we have given up our thoughts. Damn it! You can't mess with anyone, but you can't mess with that fat man!"
The reporter couldn¡¯t help laughing.
He is no stranger to the virtues of the military god Le Lei.
"The meeting is over and the battle has begun." After unexpectedly swearing, the old man was silent for a long time and then said slowly. He stared at the reporter: "You know, even after decades, I still feel that I am still in the Leray Federation, still ready for battle, and every time, my blood boils."
