"The so-called Grand Fleet Combat is a tactical form that has only been formed by ships in these hundreds of years. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the longer years, just two or three starships already represented the comprehensive national strength of a certain force or colony. The so-called war is just a few warships smashing each other in a vacuum, to see whose weapons are sharper and whose force field shield is stronger. Until the footsteps of humanity reached the deeper regions of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, after the rise of star fields such as Cetus, Wolfe, and Brand. The tactics of large groups of starships fighting each other were gradually developed. I think that the solar system was still in full swing, and with 3 elite battleships produced by combining technology, technology and great wealth, it attacked Proxima Centauri. The original intention of the rulers at that time was to show the increasingly unruly colonists the convergence of wealth, power, and force. Waiting for the latest three giant ships is a group of gunboats with a very low technical level but an extremely astonishing number. About 312 ships, some say 437 ships. Either way, the final outcome of the battle is to pull the solar system down from the commanding heights of human civilization. The archons of the solar system at the time called this defeat a victory of the barbarians. It was this war that laid the foundation for the tactics of starship swarms up to this point. ”

Wei Leili talked eloquently on the bridge, in addition to our Marines, who were illiterate in Star Wars, even the important members of the Youth, including Jasmine, Harding and others were also among the audience.

"Captain, don't scare me, okay. I don't know if this history is quite excusable, after all, I'm just a small staff officer, but you are a big man who is responsible for hundreds of people on the whole ship, and even you haven't heard of the history of the tactical development of interstellar warfare? ”

While gesturing with a fuss gesture to the cross, Harding teased the petite captain.

"I have known the origin of the tactics of the ship group for a long time, but I just want to determine whether the Wei liar, as a land war staff officer, will be lacking in key places, so that the commander will accept the wrong knowledge."

Jasmine assumed the attitude of a regulator, holding her chest out and making a commanding posture. However, her petite figure, coupled with the fact that no matter how you look at it, she is more cute than a majestic pink fist, and no matter how much she swings, she can't make people feel the strength of it.

"Since fleet warfare has replaced the duel between single ships and has become the mainstream of interstellar warfare, ancient tactical systems such as formation, fleet control, and firepower management have reappeared in warfare and gradually gained a dominant position. Therefore, in modern interstellar warfare, the role of human beings is really becoming more and more important, and it is a well-established fact that a good commander is better than more troops. ”

I noticed that Verelli was staring at me intently as he explained.

"What? The so-called fleet commander has nothing to do with me, who is at best an army commander. ”

"No, sir, all commanders can't be categorized by military or tactical mentality. Modern warfare is a three-dimensional, pluralistic, and multidimensional warfare. No commander can be separated from other battlefields and dimensions, relying solely on his own familiar territory to achieve victory. From the moment you are called a commander, the meaning of the class to you has diminished, and you must be a generalist or you will not be able to win. ”

Verelli's attitude towards me became more and more harsh, and the staring between the two of us soon attracted the attention of the others.

Jasmine: "What's going on with these two men?" Why do you look at each other so weirdly? ”

Harding: "There's a lot of things you don't understand. ”

Jasmine: "Hey, hey, I'm the captain, don't treat me like a kid all the time." ”

Harding: "Who told you to ask such childish questions. ”

Jasmine: "Uh...... I'm losing to you. In this way, this week's bridge wheel is on duty, and I will take you for half a day. ”

Harding: "Three days. ”

Jasmine: "Why don't you grab it!" ”

Harding: "Two and a half days. ”

Jasmine: "One day. ”

Harding: "You Grande, a day and a half, I can't give in anymore." ”

Jasmine: "Deal, can you tell us what they're doing?" ”

Harding pretended to be mysterious, "Have you ever heard the old word "friend?" ”

Jasmine seemed to be struck, "Isn't it really the realm I can set foot in?" ”

"You two give me a little bit. Such a serious atmosphere has been ruined by you. I'm mentally preparing the commander for the fact that the commander is not something that anyone can do casually, but it is a matter of life and death for many people! ”

Verelli finally couldn't help but erupt.

The group of the Youth's eccentrics pretend to discuss the interior of the ship.

"I understand, it seems that it is really impossible not to be serious, so what does the history of the tactical development of the ship group you mentioned have to do with the current fire reconnaissance, and what is the connection with our mission?"

"As a centralized form of carrier-based marines, our key role is twofold: one is to cooperate with friendly forces in wartime, capture or destroy the enemy's well-defended large ships. Another role is armed reconnaissance. It includes infiltration reconnaissance, fire reconnaissance, fixed point lurking, suppression of important facilities and so on. According to the situation of this battle, we are the only one to serve as the infiltration mission in the fire reconnaissance. ”

"Why would we have such an important task to be carried out by a unit like ours that has just been established and most of the fighters are defeated units? Shouldn't it be more reasonable to mobilize the existing elite in the fleet? ”

Jasmine interjected on the side, and it can be seen from this that her audit is not just for the sake of being funny or complaining, but there is a serious component.

"You don't need to ask! Firepower reconnaissance, and in this situation of being forced by others, the initiative is not in us, and forcible reconnaissance operations can basically be understood as a tactical synonym for people who do not need to come back as long as the intelligence is transmitted back. Who is willing to sacrifice the elite in vain on this kind of battlefield, a ragtag army like ours, grandma is not close, and what parents don't love is just right. ”

Harding is not a real gangster, and from his point of view, he knows the purpose of this operation, and the reason.

Wei Leili looked at the two of them deeply, and then nodded to me, realizing that their statement was basically correct.

I cast my eyes on the electronic sand table, the distribution map of the situation between friend and foe. The large area of the universe around the enemy-controlled area is basically covered with red mist, and it is obvious that the purpose of fire reconnaissance is to open a map.

It's just that as an outcast who was forced to be thrown at the front, I really couldn't be happy.

"By the way, is we the only Marine Corps participating in the battle this time?"

"No, there should be the Marines on the participating ships. We're supposed to be sent out at the end of the reconnaissance, mainly against the large ships we encounter. ”

“......”

I am reminded of what Verelli reminded that he already represents the colonial powers such as Mars and Jupiter, and is the spokesman for the interests of tens of billions of colonial people.

"It seems that you must have heard the level of fire reconnaissance and get a greater right to speak!"

The four people around me responded to my feelings with different expressions, but in short, I didn't see cheerful or optimistic factors mixed in.

The Youth, along with five assault boats, was part of the Rapid Response Marine Corps and arrived near the core squadron in 36 hours and 55 minutes.

"The commander instructed Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Ping to arrive at the flagship at 37 hours and 15 minutes to participate in the tactical arrangement meeting."

Cold commands, in even colder language, reached my ears through the bridge speakers.

"Sure enough, my identity is more embarrassing in the fleet."

While thinking about the bitter taste of the order, I asked Jasmine to prepare the shuttle.

"Don't care, you'll get used to it after a long time, the top echelons of the fleet are like this, not for you alone."

Jasmine's reassurance didn't help, because I realized that she herself was a marginal member of the fleet, and she didn't know what kind of treatment the valued troops should receive.

The battlefield was clocked for 37 hours, and the Youth received unexpected news. I was promoted to colonel.

Verelli frowned at the news.

"The internal tilting is worse than expected, and this is the rhythm that keeps us from coming back alive."
