On the second day, the Wang family's new expansion plan quietly opened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the first day, thirty Nightwind warships sailed out of their respective spaceports and headed for the Wang's borders. And the other party also seems to be very cooperative, the Wang family has just made a move, the other side has begun to form an alliance, and the fleet has also begun to assemble, forming a multi-way army, ready to attack the territory of the Wang family at any time.
And the performance of the Wang family's fleet in the previous two battles made them have to act cautiously, after all, although their alliance has thousands of warships on the surface, the Wang family is not a vegetarian now, and the thirty already strong and somewhat foul Night Wind-class warships are really no joke.
In addition, in the first two battles, the Wang family relied on fighting more and less, and only relied on a small number of advanced warships, they annihilated several times the enemy ships that were several times their own, especially in the second battle, in a hard-fought environment, only twenty S-class high-speed cruisers leveled the enemy.
Among these forces in the alliance, there are also many S-class warships. These forces are well aware of the exchange ratio between S-class and lower-level warships, and although the battle loss ratio is large, it is by no means as outrageous as what the Wang family gained in this battle.
As a result, the real combat effectiveness of the Wang family was instinctively expanded many times by them, and the actions of the originally organized armies couldn't help but become hesitant.
But this is also the situation that Zhang Yunfan wants to see the most, and the opponent's hesitation gives him time to fully mobilize the army and replenish his combat strength.
Under his command, one hundred and twenty S-class high-speed cruisers guarded the center as the general reserve, and thirty Nightwind-class warships continued to emerge like ghosts in front of enemy positions on all sides. Every time it appears, it can always cause a wave of chaos in the opposing camp.
And just like that, a week passed peacefully. Unbeknownst to the forces of these alliances, the past week was their last chance to win. And in the past week, the Wang family's combat power has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Three days ago, the 120 Nightwind-class warships in the early stage were the first to be delivered to the Wang family's domain, and Zhang Yunfan directly reequipped all the original high-speed cruisers, unifying the main combat power of the Wang family into standard equipment.
And today, a week later, the Wang family once again welcomed the 130,000 slaves they had purchased. According to Zhang Yunfan's preliminary plan, these former slaves were granted legal royal citizenship from the moment they stepped off the transport ship.
And in front of them are two choices, one is to become a member of the Ming fleet, because they are new recruits, the person in charge of the Wang family clearly informed them that these recruits will not be arranged to the front-line combat troops, but to take over the main force of the warships that have been refitted, and be incorporated into the defense fleet and patrol fleet.
The other way is to become ordinary royal citizens, and the conquest will arrange corresponding jobs for them, and they can enjoy the same rights as citizens of other royal powers, without any difference.
This kind of treatment made these new members of the Wang family, who had never experienced the taste of freedom, at a loss.
Defined as slaves from birth, these men are instilled with some combat skills, and in a universe where the royal power prohibits the use of intelligent robots, they are treated as the cheapest expendable for war. In their minds, their best fate is to end this somewhat sad life by dying with their ship in their first battle.
As for these two choices, they had never imagined a bright future, and this was the first time in their lives that they had faced a choice, but sadly, they didn't know how to choose at all.
In the end, the Wang family received 120,000 reserve soldiers from the 130,000 new members. As for the remaining nearly 10,000 people, the Wang family also made proper arrangements and sent them to the skills training class in different disciplines to obtain the necessary abilities for them to survive in the Wang family.
In order to replenish the troops as soon as possible, the Wang family directly selected nearly 10,000 skilled soldiers from among them and equipped them with S-class high-speed cruisers replaced by the main fleet. The remaining members were assigned to the boot camp and completed the corresponding tactical training with the recruits who joined the royal army at the same time.
Therefore, in just this week, the military strength of the Wang family soared, and the combat power it possessed was no longer comparable to those surrounding forces. Sadly, these forces that were made hostile by Zhang Yunfan did not know anything about this matter.
As a hostile force, the alliance has found through research that if the Wang family is determined to fight a guerrilla war with them, it will be an endless war of attrition, and the final victory will be won by the Wang family's fleet, which has no logistical pressure and is strong in single combat.
Therefore, there is only one way in front of them, to force the Wang family to fight a decisive battle with them, and they will be able to complete the battle. And the alliance with absolute numerical superiority can definitely survive to the end and win as long as it is properly coordinated.
But they didn't know that what they were facing was no longer the Wang family that only had one hundred and fifty advanced warships a week ago, but a powerful force with one hundred and fifty super warships and one hundred and twenty S-class warships, and their own side no longer had any combat power advantage to speak of.
In this state of ignorance, the Alliance was almost crying with joy when it discovered that the royal fleet had begun to concentrate all the forces they knew on the border for a decisive battle.
But what they never expected was that what Zhang Yunfan was preparing for them was not an open-minded decisive battle, but a bottomless pit dug for them, which was so big that it could bury thousands of warships of the alliance together, and it was the kind that did not show its head at all.
In the decisive battle, the two armies faced each other, and there were many warships, and the size of the two fleets was hugely different, but the momentum was comparable.
Despite its huge numerical superiority, the coalition did not carry out a large-scale full-scale offensive, but constantly sent small fleets to probe. And the Wang family did not act rashly, and for those tentative warships, they only carried out artillery fire to disperse the action, and there was no action at all for the decisive battle.
The two sides continued to stalemate, but under this seemingly calm surface, the fighting spirit of the two sides had reached a peak. It's like an arsenal that only needs a little spark to cause the most violent explosive reaction.
And the reasons for this situation are for each side.
The alliance was waiting for the Wang family's follow-up, after all, the two battles fought by the Wang family were won under the disparity of strength. If the Wang family has no backhand, it is estimated that the ghosts will not believe it! And they just want to use constant temptation to put pressure on the royal fleet and make it show itself.
And the Wang family is waiting for the appearance of the fighter, that is, the appearance of the one hundred and twenty Nightwind-class battleships that have disappeared. That was the key to their victory.
