The departure of Chu Tianjiang and Ali did not change the strategic planning of human civilization.

Before leaving, Chu Tianjiang greeted Zhang Xiaogang and asked him to launch a war against the Trulli people according to the plan, and not to delay time. Although Chu Tianjiang didn't make it clear, Zhang Xiaogang must have thought that Chu Tianjiang and Ali might not return in time if they left suddenly. Besides, the war against the Trulli people has been planned for a long time, and even if Chu Tianjiang and Ali are not involved, it will not have much impact.

Indeed, Zhang Xiaogang launched this large-scale war on time.

With the support of the Akula, and the Creators of the Abaka Family, this war is on a scale larger than any expansion war ever waged by human civilization. Of course, human civilization is still the absolute main force in this war, and it is also the dominant force in this war.

At that time, only human beings were fully militarized.

Although Beyan had been trying to fully militarize the Akulla before this, due to the Great Migration and the expansion of living space, the Akula did not advance the militarization in time after arriving in their new homeland, and therefore did not achieve full militarization before the outbreak of the war against the Trulli. In addition to the need to stabilize the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations and contain the Alliance of Creators of the Abaka Family, the Akula also need to take on the task of defending their homeland, that is, to share some of the pressure on the Elama, so they will not be able to achieve full militarization in time.

Of course, that's not to say that the Akula aren't strong enough.

In the entire alliance of intelligent civilizations, the Akula are second only to humans in strength, far above the Elamates, and have the number of legions not much different from human civilization.

The main gap is still in the combat effectiveness of the corps.

Facts have long proved that the way human civilization builds military strength can maximize the combat effectiveness of super soldiers, thereby improving the combat effectiveness of the legion.

At the time of the outbreak of the war, the population of human civilization had exceeded 200 billion, and 2 billion legions with a size of 100,000 had been formed, and a good development mechanism had been formed, that is, in each subsequent year, human civilization would add 100 million new legions. Of course, this also leads to the fact that human civilization must let some legions stay in the rear breeding base and take on the heavy responsibility of reproducing offspring.

In fact, a problem that has always plagued human civilization has not been solved.

That is, the population size of human civilization is still too small to meet the needs of war, and it is still necessary to find ways to expand the population. More importantly, at this time, the debris of the four-dimensional universe in the hands of human civilization has far exceeded the size of the population. In other words, human civilization has enough four-dimensional space debris to be able to form more legions, but it does not have enough population to form legions.

In a sense, this is also a problem that Zhang Xiaogang urgently needs to solve.

Of course, it is not enough to increase the size of the population, that is, to speed up the rate of reproduction, and other methods must be used to improve the efficiency of the use of space debris in the fourth dimension.

So, how can we improve the efficiency of the use of space debris in the fourth dimension?

In response to this problem, Zhang Xiaogang made an adjustment to the legion.

It can be said that this is also the first time that Zhang Xiaogang has adjusted the establishment of the human legion after the outbreak of the family war.

That is, in the legion, in addition to the legion leader, there are nine more deputy legion commanders, and each deputy legion leader has a separate four-dimensional space debris, and uses the level of these four-dimensional cosmic space debris, that is, the star core source, to arm the ten thousand super soldiers under its direct command. In this way, in addition to the 10,000 super soldiers under the direct command of the legion commander, who only have one star core source, the other 90,000 super soldiers have two star core sources. Although the addition of a Star Core Source does not increase the combat effectiveness of the super soldiers, if necessary, each deputy legion leader, and the 10,000 super soldiers under his direct command can become a new legion independently. If there is a large enough population, then each of these sub-legions can be expanded into a separate legion. In other words, with a large enough population, human civilization can expand the number of legions tenfold.

Of course, in the short term, human civilization cannot have enough people to expand the legion.

The immediate benefit of this is that any legion can be split into ten legions during battle, thus increasing the combat flexibility of the legion. The point is that in some skirmishes, you don't need to use an entire legion at all, so a sub-legion is enough. For example, when capturing a star system that has already been captured, at most only one secondary army needs to be used, and there is no need to dispatch the entire army.

If this is just a war of intelligent civilizations, human civilization will definitely win.

The problem is that this is not a war of intelligent civilizations, but a war of families, and human civilization is facing an enemy that is far more powerful than any of its previous opponents.

The Trulli control hundreds of millions of star systems and have trillions of legions.

Purely from the perspective of the combat effectiveness of intelligent civilizations, the Trulli people are probably the most powerful intelligent civilization in the galaxy, and their combat effectiveness is far above that of human civilization.

In contrast, I am afraid that even the Tupis created by Becca are no match for the Trulli.

Obviously, this is also a problem that Zhang Xiaogang has to consider.

It is precisely because of this that when planning this war, Zhang Xiaogang clearly mentioned that the main purpose of the war is not to fundamentally defeat the Trulli, but to bring Abaka to its knees through this war and choose to cooperate with human civilization to fight against the more powerful Beka.

In fact, it also limits the scale of the war.

According to Zhang Xiaogang's plan, the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations will attack 10 million star systems, strive to capture these star systems, weaken the war strength of the Trulli people, and make it impossible for the Trulli people to win on the frontal battlefield, thus forcing Abaka to choose between human civilization and Bekaa.

If Abacar and Becca are at odds, his only option is human civilization.

By compromising with human civilization to eliminate the threat from the rear, Abaka is likely to win on a frontal battlefield, at least not immediately to Beka.

The problem is that attacking 10 million star systems is not an easy task.

In the previous expansion wars, human civilization had never captured more than one million star systems at a time, let alone ten million.

Even with the help of other intelligent civilizations, it is almost impossible to capture 10 million star systems in a single war.

How to fight, Zhang Xiaogang didn't know the bottom in his heart.

Of course, the most important thing is that the strength of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations is still seriously insufficient.

Although he has the support of the Creators Alliance of the Abaka Family, Zhang Xiaogang does not believe that those creators who are persuaded by Connor will wholeheartedly help the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations. Even if they are willing to help the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations deal with Abaca, they may not share the results with the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations. To put it bluntly, the cooperation with the Creator Alliance is only a cooperation of interests, and the vast majority of the creators of the Abaka family do not take the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations into account. Zhang Xiaogang is using the Creator Alliance, and those creators are also using the Intelligent Civilization Alliance. To put it bluntly, those creators only want to use the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations to deal with Abaka.

Obviously, it was impossible for Zhang Xiaogang to let the military strength of the Creator Alliance take on the main combat mission.

The heavy task of expanding the war still has to be borne by the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations.

Now, here's the problem.

Human civilization does not have enough legions to undertake all combat missions, and it is impossible for Zhang Xiaogang to stake the entire military strength of human civilization. Because of his distrust of the Creator Alliance, Zhang Xiaogang had to retain a part of his military strength no matter what. By the same token, even if the Akula legions were to take on a large part of the combat mission, they would have to retain enough military strength in the rear.

Obviously, even if the Elamaic legions are counted, the military strength of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations is not very sufficient.

At this point, expanding the military power of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations has become a real problem.

According to Zhang Xiaogang's estimates, in order to capture a thousand Trulli star systems in an expansion war, at least 20 billion legions with a size of 100,000 people are needed. Although on average, it is possible to capture a star system with two thousand legions, which is more than enough by the standards of intelligent civilization warfare, but this is not a intelligent civilization war, but a family war, and the standard of family war is very different.

On a frontal battlefield, it is normal for both warring sides to commit thousands of legions in order to target a major star system.

What's more, the galaxies controlled by the Trulli are all in the center of the Milky Way, and they are all large star systems, generally with dozens of stars, and some even have hundreds of star systems. These galaxies are separated by very short distances, i.e., the density of star systems is very high. The military strength of the Trulli is very strong, and they can make timely deployment adjustments, so they can invest enough troops in the main battlefield.

Taken together, it is not an exaggeration to capture 10 million star systems with 20 billion legions.

The problem is that there are only two billion legions of humanity, and even if you count the ones that are being formed, there are only about five billion, and the number of legions of the Akula is not much different from that of humans.

In other words, the humans and the Akula have only ten billion legions in total.

If a part of the legions need to be left to defend the new homeland, then the human and Akula will obviously not be able to use more than 10 billion legions.

It can be seen that even if the Elamaic legions are counted, they are still far from sufficient.

Expanding the legion requires more super soldiers, which in turn requires more intelligent individuals. Human civilization does not have enough intelligent individuals, but the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations has enough intelligent individuals.
