"Everyone, please stop having any other illusions. The Glory of God is not a product www.biquge.info of God, but a thunderbolt planted by Mrs. Wall in the Moon Fortress, and this attack is obviously a prelude to Mrs. Wall's attack. There is no need to pay attention to the automatic batteries that are not divided between friend and foe, and now we should prepare our fleet for the attack of the unmanned fleet. ”

Surprisingly, the actual controller of the fleet was not Grimm, but a man named Camille. Kramer's lieutenant general. This aggressive, unquestionable pre-war mobilization came from the mouth of General Kramer.

I was not focused on the upcoming fleet battle, but was drawn to Kramer's surname. Nowadays, there are four major races of human beings left in the solar system, and there are two ways to name the format atmosphere W and E. For example, my surname is Zhao, my name is Ping, first pronounce the surname and then the first name, which is called the E-type naming method, which comes from the meaning of the East in the ancient earth language, which means that my ancestry ancestors came from the East.

Due to the extreme prevalence of racial exchanges and mixed blood in contemporary times, the origin of ancestors can only be roughly seen in the form of names, and the situation in terms of appearance and genetic combination can no longer be judged by the way names are read and written.

The surname Kramer is a standard W form of nomenclature with the meaning of the ancient earth to the west. Of the people I know in the military, there are three people who use this surname, and as far as I know, two of them are brothers, and now there is another surname Kramer, so I can't help but pay more attention to it.

General Kramer was in his 60s, with silver hair, and looked good physically and mentally, with an aggressive and deep gaze and a look of expression that saw through the world, just like the two Kramers I knew.

"Yes, he's my father."

Verelli seemed to be helpless in response, and I stared at him. Beside him Maxim whistled. And the doubts in my mind were best explained. It is no wonder that Edred and Verelli have different perspectives, and when I communicate with them, I always feel that their talents should not be ordinary soldiers, but more like high-ranking officers or generals.

Broad vision, overall thinking, precise command suggestions, and clear strategic thinking are not even ordinary officers at the school level can have.

Then the question arose.

In the Space Army, the lieutenant general has a very high status, because there is no marshal in the solar system, and the speaker of the coalition government will generally concurrently serve as the commander-in-chief of the entire army in the solar system, and his military rank is general, while the deputy commander of the military department, the chief of the general staff and other figures have the rank of lieutenant general. In other words, General Kramer is already a figure who has climbed to the top of the military of the Space Army. It is really unbelievable that such a big man, his two sons actually sat up from a class of small soldiers in the army.

“...... Please don't look at me like this, every family has its own educational policy, our family is like this, my father will not use his position to give us any help, in fact, because of his relationship, we can't even be officers, after entering the army, we all start as privates. ”

Looking at the way Verelli looked, he was not very willing to talk about his father. We can't go any further. I'm just wondering, does General Kramer really not care if his son lives or dies? Edlaide had already died in battle, and if he had known that Verelli was in my squadron, would he have sent us to a relatively safe area out of family considerations?

It was a very tempting idea to tell Admiral Kramer who he was and to separate the security of the fleet. I endured it for a long time, but finally I still didn't take the initiative to report my status as the most powerful staff officer. Since they are willing to hide their identities and start with the lowliest soldiers, it is not surprising that my approach to exposing Verelli's origins will be counterproductive.

It's just that when I think that as long as I report his identity, I may avoid the harsh battle, and I always feel that it is a pity to give up using his identity.

Soon the tactical scheme and the task plan of the detachments were distributed through the tactical circuit.

Noticing that our detachment was identified as part of the Strategic Reserve, I could not help but turn my head to look at Verelli.

"Don't look at me like that, it's probably a coincidence. The old man didn't shed even a tear about his brother's death, and it was impossible for him to change the use of the detachment for my sake. ”

I would love to tell him that if you are the last son of the old general, your life and death are more important than your brother's fate. Looking at Wei Leili's jealous expression, I finally didn't refute it.

......

......

When we finally managed to join the main fleet, the sheer size of the fleet was a breath of gasp.

It turned out that inside the fortress was only a small part of the main fleet.

Looking at the wake of the engine competing with the stars in the same sky, and the streamers flashing in the dark void near and far, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart. The Grand Fleet in reality is not as imagined, lined up in a dense formation, in the form of a majestic and majestic honor guard. That's just the speculation of the screenwriters of entertainment dramas, the real ship group is like a meteor shower in space, and it will be a non-stop high-frequency pop group flashing in the eyes, which not only makes people feel the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of human beings, but also gives people a real feeling that the strength of human beings has really reached the point where they can gallop through the vast universe.

To know the situation of the overall cosmic battlefield, it is still necessary to look down on the entire cosmic battlefield through the electronic sand table and magnify the field of view hundreds of thousands of times. Since he had been on the front line of the battle, he had never had the opportunity to observe the changes in the situation of the fleet in a real war. This time, as one of the general reserves, I can finally watch up close how Starfleet works, which costs a lot of financial and material resources from mankind, in a real interstellar war.

The battlefield timer has been reset 20 minutes ago, and it is now 0:20:12. The massive swarm of probes at the front of the fleet, with a dense mass of more than 5,000 dropping devices, finally sent back useful information before the unmanned fleet had time to evade or eliminate them. In front of us, at a distance of 0.05 astronomical units, is the control area of the Wolf unmanned fleet, and the preliminary assessment of the enemy's forces and fleet structure has not yet been completed.

"Our fleet is at a disadvantage."

The soundproof force field was not afraid to be heard by the officers and soldiers outside, and Wei Leili was blunt. His judgment made my heart cold by half, but I couldn't figure it out, why haven't we started fighting yet, we are at a disadvantage, where is the inferior?

"Hmmm! I really hate it, I hope your fleet is used to this kind of situation where the enemy is not clear about the reality of the other party, you must know that our star field has suffered a lot in this kind of intelligence warfare. ”

Maxim echoed Verelli, and I was raised by the hairs of the two of them, but I still didn't know why.

"Uh, both, excuse me for my limited abilities, what the hell is going on?"

Fortunately, I was promoted not long ago, and deep down I didn't look down on myself as a despised character.

"Oh, sir, I was born in the army, and it's normal not to know the development of the war situation."

Maxim is one of those people who can talk very well. One sentence makes my heart feel a lot better, otherwise I am obviously a commander, but I don't know how to command, I can't understand the situation, this humiliating feeling is really depressing. In fact, where I am from the army, I don't have a good background at all, if you have to count it, its practical militia background is more appropriate. Maxim is able to take care of my face and promote communication within the command level without being quiet, and he doesn't sound like he is slapping horses, and his skills in mixing officialdom should be the strongest among the people I know.

"Yes, I'll explain the current situation to the chief. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, this is a tactical idea that existed in the ancient earth era, and it is also quite correct when used in interstellar warfare. In the relationship between general fleet warfare and especially large fleet warfare, due to the size of the fleet, the number of reconnaissance equipment on both sides, and so on, it is very possible to really conceal something or play some small tricks, and everything is clear at a glance in high-frequency, carpet-style reconnaissance. Therefore, in interstellar warfare and large fleet battles, the main thing to fight is strength, heritage and endurance. In the end, it boils down to one sentence, what is fought is national strength. When the gap in human resources in large organizations is very small, and the quality of each tactical unit is extremely limited, who can hold out longer and who has more hole cards is the key to winning or losing. ”

I still knew what Verelli was saying, and I kept nodding. What he said was the basis of interstellar warfare, and everyone who aspires to become a commander must understand the meaning behind this statement.

But this is only one aspect of the truth. In fact, this passage just now is just a summary of the situation in which everyone's level is similar to that of the previous reconnaissance and intelligence gathering operations. ”

Wei's words made me frown, "However, the paragraph just now is what was said at the beginning of the commander's textbook, is it still wrong?" ”

"Actually, our Proxima Centauri command textbook has a similar statement, but sir, if you believe everything in books, it's going to be ugly."

“......”

I found that in terms of Star Wars, I was actually illiterate, and I really checked too much in the face of the two veterans in front of me.

Maxim is right when he says that any law of principle has a precondition, but many times people ignore this seemingly eternal condition, and tragedy often comes from this. The criteria mentioned earlier can be said to be under extremely strict conditions, that is, the intelligence reconnaissance level of the two sides is at the same level, which is the most important thing, and once this prerequisite goes wrong, the so-called Star Wars criterion will naturally become unpredictable. ”

"......", I listened attentively, and decided not to interrupt again, because I found that I was really illiterate, and it was better to fully accept Wei Leili's arguments at this time.

"Due to the different levels of intelligence reconnaissance, the follow-up competition is actually just an empty word. People have better intelligence than you, so why should they fight you where you want? It's entirely possible for them to send groups of warships to fight guerrilla warfare with you, launching surprise attacks from unexpected locations, draining your strength, and strategizing accordingly based on your reactions. When the strength of the force is weak, the side with intelligence advantage can choose to take the initiative to attack or harass, and can use the advantage of high-speed ship groups to attack the logistics and supply facilities of the other side, waiting for the situation to become more favorable, and when the strength of the force is strong, the side with intelligence advantage is invincible, and can easily find and attack the weak point of the Ling side, and then let the battle end quickly. The key point of this is initiative, without intelligence advantage, we will lose the initiative on the battlefield, whether to fight, whether to fight, whether to fight, whether we can pursue, etc., this needs to be supported by accurate intelligence, and once we go to the initiative, we will become cages, blind, and can never be defeated, those who have more enemy commanders than we see. ”

I finally understood what was wrong with the main fleet of the Space Forces.

Even if so many probes are sent, our army still cannot obtain accurate military information from the enemy, which leads to the fact that the initiative changes hands before the war begins, and it is really more difficult to win the battle than to win the battle.

"Such as ...... If this is the case, there is no need to fight, and the loss will be smaller if you surrender or transfer in early. ”

When I said these words, even I felt that if all the commanders in the country ran away or avoided the battle when they encountered a disadvantage, then what else did they have to do, any cat or dog could become a commander.

"You can't say that, strategy and tactics, tactics, planning, etc., the essence of these things is to move back to the disadvantage on the battlefield, so that the unfavorable side of the situation has the opportunity to move to a strong opponent. Now this situation is the right time to look at the means of the fleet commander. ”

As Verelli spoke, his eyes wandered, as if he were focusing on an unseen distance. I think of his relationship with the captain, and I understand his current mood. Although I have confidence in the wisdom of Verrell, I also believe that General Kramer, who can train the two sons of Edleide and Verrell, must not be a fuel-efficient lamp.

But the current disadvantage, relying on the captain's strategy can really get back is really worrying!

......

......

After 4 hours and 10 minutes of battle, the main force of the fleet finally caught the main force of the strangely moving Wolf fleet, and the battle took place at a distance of 2 astronomical units from the initial place of contact.

Unmanned fleets are not afraid of strategic weapons, they use a relatively dense spindle formation of capital ships. Launched an attack on our main fleet, with battleships as the core structure of the formation system. Although unmanned ship groups are not afraid of strategic weapons, this does not mean that strategic weapons are useless against them. In the initial battle, the main fleet relied on the unmanned capital ship nodes on the periphery to drag a large number of unmanned battleships and cruisers, and then sent a group of battleships and cruisers released by us, with two wings to assist in the harassment of the space carrier.

Under the initial concentration of strategic weapons, a total of 15 unmanned battleships and 32 unmanned cruisers were affected at the position of the formation node where the two battleships that were attacked. Due to the relationship between electromagnetic wave weapons, the unmanned ship group is temporarily unable to act due to overload and memory medium cleaning problems.

Our assault ship group, which has been waiting for a long time, is in a semi-encircled posture and launches a counterattack against the target's unmanned ship group in a huge combat area of 450,000 kilometers.

The battle lasted more than 5 hours, and due to the influence of strategic weapons, the unmanned ship group, which was temporarily unable to move freely, received a serious blow, attacked and sank 3 battleships and damaged 12 ships. 12 cruisers were sunk or severely damaged, and 15 cruisers were lightly damaged. In Mrs. Wall's assault ship group, only 5 cruisers on the verge of a strategic weapon strike can really be escaped.

In the case where the target of the attack has been basically completed and the battlefield clearance has not yet been carried out, the order for the retreat of the assault ship group has been issued. Immediately, the strategic weapons from Mrs. Wall also arrived on the battlefield. From the retreat of our assault ship group to the accumulation of strategic weapons of the unmanned fleet, the time difference is only 15 minutes, which can be described as thrilling.

Even so, our assault ship group still suffered a lot of casualties, including the damage of 2 battleships and 17 cruisers, as well as the complete destruction of one space carrier that disobeyed orders and did not evacuate, and the losses of our main fleet can be described as 1,000 wounds and 800 self-inflicted losses.

Until the battle was timed for 10 hours and the round of tactical wrestling was officially over, the three of us stayed on the bridge, observing every detail of the battle through the electronic sand table.

"I can still fight like this! It's just dancing on the tip of a knife, if the timing is not well mastered, will our assault ship group be reimbursed? ”

Hearing my words, Maxim nodded with trepidation.

"This kind of tactic, we really haven't appeared in the Proxima Star Field. If it weren't for the fact that the battle had already been fought, I would have thought that it was just a piece of paper. Ling Zun is worthy of being a model for starship commanders such as the world's famous generals! ”

Listening to Maxim's explicit flattery of General Kramer, goosebumps rose on my body, and I slandered in my heart, this guy saw that Wei Leili's father was a high-level member of the military department, and he actually pushed up such a kind talk without skin and face, two days ago, you were still fighting with Wei Leili with a red face, and you almost slapped the stage, where is your discipline?

"He is he, and although he deserves to be a qualified lieutenant general, he also has his own limitations. I don't think he'll be able to turn the tide, and he's going to have to rely on young people like us to deal with the unmanned fleet and the Pelland's bio-ship swarm. ”

Hearing this, like the words of a rebellious teenager, Maxim and I were stunned. After the two looked at each other, they were silent. It seems that the Kramer family, the relationship between their father and son is very delicate.
