Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, on the flagship of the USS Zhonghua.

"General Cai, this fleet of your country is really enviable."

Vice Admiral Gao Long praised the expeditionary fleet of the Empire while enjoying the special Chinese drink, tea: "Especially the Zhonghua in front of me, only the flagship of the Merchant Alliance of the Nok Merchant Alliance and the Royal Guard Fleet of the Longshan Empire can be compared. ”

"Yes, this battleship Zhonghua is also our Chinese housekeeper. However, the Draco-class battleships we sold you are also a rare good commodity. ”

Cai Yi quipped, it is good to have money, a lot of money is sprinkled, and in two or three years, the Orion Alliance will pull back 150 advanced battleships, and there will be more and faster in the future.

When it came to this batch of Tianlong battleships, Gao Long really frowned, and the surname can compare with the surname price, and he really didn't say, "This batch of battleships is really good and cheap, the surname can be comparable to the entry-level super battleships, and the price is also very favorable."

Alas, it is not known who will command the newly formed 10th Fleet this time.

Come, cheers, for the alliance and China will be friends forever. ”

"Your Excellency is also looking for a suitable candidate, and now that the republics have handed over power, His Excellency would like to see more young generals loyal to the Alliance take on important positions."

Special Envoy Guevara said meaningfully.

A glimmer of essence flashed in Gao Long's eyes, as if he saw some kind of hope, and said: "Mr. Special Envoy is even younger and promising, now because of the war, the power of the alliance is more concentrated, and after Mr. Special Envoy completes this mission, he will definitely take over more important work." ”

The two exchanged compliments, and the conversation returned to joint operations.

"General Cai, please tell us about the idea of this joint operation, Mr. President has already explained, and Mr. Special Envoy and I can make full decisions about this operation."

Gao Long said with a smile that the upper echelons of the alliance believe that this China is full of mystery, and there are many things that are difficult to understand, but it is very powerful.

Cai Yi nodded, and then let Zhi Brain open the huge starry sky battle map.

On the electronic map, a planet grows from small to large, and finally, the nearby starry sky centered on this planet is revealed.

"Lagu Xing!"

Gao Long and Guevara shouted softly at the same time.

The Chinese actually really wanted to fight the idea of Laguxing.

Previously, they had also considered Laguxing.

The Chinese obviously wanted to borrow the fleet of the Orion Alliance to fight the Rankers.

However, at that time, the top level of the alliance believed that the Chinese were the Lank forces who wanted to use the power of the alliance to clear the border, and considering the security and passage of trade between the two countries in the future, President Hu Kun personally nodded and agreed to this joint operation.

As the only living planet nearby, Lagu Star has a lot of troops in wartime, and it has also entered the eyes of the Alliance.

However, the alliance believes that although the military strength of Laguxing is not strong, there is no danger to defend here, and the Rankers can take it back at any time.

In other words, strategically speaking, Laguxing does not have much value.

"Yes, it's Laguxing."

Cai Ye took the virtual baton in his hand, clicked on the electronic map, and began to explain the empire's combat intentions this time.

"Lagu Star, the border planet of Rank, is a barren planet with a relatively backward economy, and its main products are black gold ore and black purple gold.

With a total population of more than 1.2 billion and the second-to-last economy in the Duchy of Rank, there are no other fleets or jump gates within a 15-day voyage of the Radius.

In terms of military arrangement, Laguxing has a regularly stationed fleet, which is not large, about 50 ships, including more than 20 battleships.

However, as a border planet, Lagu Star has a complete planetary defense system, with more than 20,000 planetary defense main guns of various kinds......"

Cai Yi briefly introduced the situation of Lagu Star, the reason why the Principality of Ranke was able to hold on for so long, although there was full support from the big families of the third-level civilization in the back for the purpose of backdoor construction, but the large number of planetary defenses and fortress defense groups built by the Rankers themselves was also the key reason.

A planet with a complete planetary defense system, battleships cannot enter the range to open fire, and the power of 20,000 planetary defense main guns makes people's scalps tingle just thinking about it.

As in the Age of Discovery, if the fleet attacked the port, although a large number of defensive guns in the port were dead, once the battle lasted for a long time, the fleet would often suffer large losses.

Unlike the one-way defense of the port, the planetary defense system is three-dimensional, with 360-degree coverage, not only on the ground, but also on many satellites.

"Although Laguxing's military strength is not strong, any fleet of our two armies can defeat it, but Laguxing's defense system is not something we can annihilate at a small cost.

More than 20,000 planetary defense main guns can bring us great losses. ”

Gao Long frowned slightly, and said directly, Laguxing is not a strategic military target after all, if it is a strategic military target, the two fleets of both sides are enough to take it down, that is, to achieve victory at any cost.

However, Laguxing in front of him obviously does not have such an important surname.

In Gao Long's opinion, Laguxing was not worth the risk of letting the two fleets take the risk.

Cai Yi shook his head and said with a smile, "Since we have the idea of fighting the ancient star, it is to prove that it is worthy of our action. With regard to this operation, your army only needs to provide assistance. ”

"Assistance?"

Guevara asked with interest if he was willing to help if he only offered assistance without risking huge losses.

The Chinese, as allies, see that their military strength is getting stronger and stronger, and they can play a greater role in containing and attacking Ranke in the future, and the other party's battleships are really good, and the president means to try to make friends with each other.

"Not bad!"

Cai Yi briefly said what the Orions needed to do, "What our army needs your army's assistance is to lure away the defense fleet of Laguxing, and confuse the Ranks, interfere with their vision, and help our army buy time.

The rest, our army will solve it alone. ”

"If it is just to provide assistance and divide troops to lure the enemy, our army can help."

Guevara agreed to the request.

"Then let's get into the details."

So, Cai Yi, Sun Xiwu, Qin Baijiang and Guevara and Gao Long discussed the relevant details together.

Although Guevara asked the question of how the Chinese side would act, Cai was bypassed.

Looking at the heated discussion, Cai Yi's heart was immersed in the whole plan.

This plan was not a whim of Cai Ye alone, but a plan that had been planned by the Imperial Staff for a long time.

Ragu is a valuable planet, at least in His Majesty's eyes.

The two ores of Wujin Mine and Black Purple Gold are also high-value minerals in the second-level civilization, and the Lagu Star, which does not have much strategic value in the eyes of the Orioners, is a treasure trove in Zhang Shusheng's eyes.

How much wealth a planet has, no one can say.

Zhang Shusheng instilled the idea of Cai Ye and other high-ranking officers at that time, that is, to make a big vote.

The empire is short of money, materials, equipment, everything, and if this vote is done, not to mention anything else, at least the living standards of the earth will rise by a huge step.

After all, the Principality of Ranke was hanging high, and there was no natural danger to defend, and Zhang Shusheng was not prepared to actually occupy these planets for a long time.

It is easy to occupy, difficult to defend, and it is likely to form a tug-of-war and consume the national strength in vain.

Now the life planet discovered by the empire has been developed for a long time, and there is no shortage of planets, what is lacking is money, materials, and valuable belongings.

Not to mention anything else, even the planetary defense main cannon is in great need.

The empire's interstellar defense main guns add up to more than 3,000, and there are more than 20,000 on one planet of Lagu Star, not to mention other materials, even if these planetary defense main guns are snatched back, it is a big profit, at least when building the Lost Star Defense System, it can block the route without leakage.

The Orioners made the mistake of thinking about their surnames.

The Orion Alliance is also a big business, and I never thought that the Chinese Empire could be so poor, on the one hand, it can produce very advanced battleships, and on the other hand, its own planet is even a luxury hovering car.

This imbalance and the lack of materials made Zhang Shusheng have the idea of doing a vote.

What's the fastest way to get money?

Robbery at the national level is the fastest to get money.

In the Age of Navigation, those countries that openly issued pirate licenses became rich, Zhang Shusheng did not have much appetite, so he moved the Lagu Star well, and the materials returned to the earth, and the earth could instantly become a standard second-level civilization planet.

Zhang Shusheng got the black purple gold, which can be used to exchange points, the black gold mine can be used to make warships and munitions, and the materials can be used to build public facilities and prosper the planet, and the benefits are too many.

At the national level, at the military level, ordinary people can benefit.

The reason why the whole plan had to bring the Orions together was to avoid accidents, and with no Ranke garrison in the nearby starry sky and no jump gate, the operation of the two fleets could already ensure 100% success.

In the plan, both fleets will have their own warships redacted and only standard warships will be dispatched.

After the Orions lured Ragu's fleet away, the Imperial fleet would immediately appear and lay siege to Lagu.

"I don't know how your army intends to do so, but we will fulfill our promise to divert the fleet of Ragustar while distracting the Rankians and buying time for you to complete your plans."

After Gao Long listened to the plan, he felt that there was no problem, it was just to attract a small fleet, and there was no risk in distracting the Rankers, after all, he could run when the situation was not good.

"Hahaha, then thank you Special Envoy Guevara, thank you General Gao, our plans can start immediately."

Cai Yi said with a smile that he would never tell Gao Long that his fleet was going all out this time.

He will not tell Gao Long that he has prepared a relocation fleet of more than 100 transport ships and warships, and he will not tell Gao Long that his hole card for this operation is still the Zhonghua.

This time, what the Empire has to do is to be a national pirate.
