Chapter 6 The first to build a large and seize the port

Lin Yidong sat in Stukov's office, helping Stukov and Dugar, the two commanders of the UED expeditionary fleet, to dispatch the entire UED expeditionary fleet.

The popular point is that Lin Yidong served as an adjutant to Stukov as a lieutenant colonel, and a discerning person could see at a glance that the two generals were deliberately cultivating Lin Yidong's overall strategic awareness, so that Lin Yidong could command a strategic-level force.

At this time, Lin Yidong discovered that this powerful UED expeditionary fleet was still a little inadequate in the face of the entire Koplu Star Zone. Aside from the reconnaissance fleets, flank troops, forward troops, rear guard troops, arch guard troops, colonial troops, and other miscellaneous forces that the expeditionary fleet scattered to the important strategic zones, galaxies, and planets in the various Koplu star sectors, the main force available to UED at this time is only the size of dozens of army group fleets. This main force is at a disadvantage to any of the forces in the Upper Koplu Star Zone: the ratio of the main UED to the fleet of the Mengsk Empire (during the Battle of the Brood) is 1:3; The ratio of UED's main force to the fully integrated swarm forces of Kerrigan (during the Battle of the Brood) is 1:20; The ratio of the UED's main force to the later Dharam Gold Fleet (early stage of the Void Legacy) is 1:15; The ratio of the UED's main force to Kerrigan's troops behind the Heart of the Swarm is as high as 1:100.

It can be seen that the real frightening thing is actually the alien insects, and the number of these powerful troops is enough to smooth out all kinds of advantages.

Therefore, Lin Yidong has a bold idea, he intends to persuade Stukov and Dugal to activate the black technology of the earth, not only to subdue the human forces in the Koplu Star Zone, but more importantly, to subdue the alien insects and star spirit troops, and to establish a combined fleet of the three races belonging to the earth.

Now, at the operational meeting, Stukov and Dugar presided over an operational meeting on the scale of the Front, and the two commanders announced the main areas of activity and mission objectives of the various military fleets, and at the same time Stukov also suggested that Dugar build an experimental-scale fleet under the direct command of the two Supreme Commanders of the Expeditionary Fleet General Command.

Admiral Dugar approved this proposal of Vice Admiral Stukov, announcing the creation of an experimental-scale fleet and at the same time bringing Samir Duran's resistance units under the command of the Supreme Command.

When the various military fleets are scattered, the next stage will be handed over to the main fleet of the UED Expeditionary Fleet.

And when Lin Yidong was observing on the holographic star map, he also discovered the place where the next main fleet was going to attack.

Diri Ryan Spaceport.

This battle for the Dilriyan spaceport was one of the most interesting levels for the Terrans when playing the Brood War, where players had to cover the pilots with a limited number of troops to occupy the Yamato ship in order to fight the last of the Imperial ships that General Duke had jumped over.

But the game is not the same as in reality, where is there such a thing as calling a pilot and driving away a battlecruiser that can carry a division?

And although the UED expeditionary fleet will scatter a large number of troops to attack this star sector freely, but the main force wants to storm Keha and overthrow the rule of Mengsk, and the troops are very sufficient, so why is there any need to go to the Diri Ryan spaceport to grab a dozen Yamato ships.

Lin Yidong couldn't figure out Lieutenant General Stukov's announcement of his intention to attack the Diririan spaceport, and at this time, Lieutenant General Stukov had just finished a combat meeting and walked into the office.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General."

Lin Yidong stood up and saluted Stukov.

Stukov is very easy-going, unlike Admiral Dugar, who always has a straight face: "Lin Yidong, it's okay to call me Your Excellency Lieutenant General in normal times, let's just be casual in private." ”

"Yes, Uncle Stukov." Lin Yidong didn't bother with Stukov about these things, he just wanted to find out what Stukov's intentions were now. "Uncle, I would like to ask, why do we attack the Diririan spaceport next, instead of directly attacking the main Imperial fleet garrisons in the Koplu Star Sector to weaken Arcturos Monsk and eventually attack Keha?"

Stukov quietly listened to Lin Yidong's question, walked to the desk and took a sip of coffee from the water cup, and then said to Lin Yidong: "Lin Yidong, you made the most basic mistake, that is, you did not consider the issue of open source. ”

"Open source?"

"Yes, open source. I ask you, if you want to fight a space war, which type of troops is the most important? ”

"Space Fleet."

"How did the space fleet come about?"

"Made in the Starport factory."

"How does the space fleet carry out long-term maintenance and long-term operations?"

"Refueling and repair...... Ay? The Diri Ryan spaceport does all of these things at the same time? ”

Stukov laughed at this time: "To be precise, the Diririan spaceport is the first strategically valuable spaceport that our troops have encountered after entering the Koplu Star Zone, this spaceport can produce a series of space warships such as battlecruisers for us, and provide fuel supply and maintenance for our space forces, which is considered from a military point of view; Politically, since we are here to attack the Koplu Star Sector and announce the takeover of this area, then we can't be as sneaky and petty as the militia, if Blacksis is to establish a strategic reserve base to ensure a way out, then the Diri Ryan spaceport is a sign of our declaration of war on the Koplu Star Zone; In terms of intelligence, we have obtained a lot of documents and information about the Empire and the Koppleau Star Zone from the Botdeus base on the planet Blacksis, and the decoding team is working intensively to decode and decipher it, and this Diririan attack is also an operation for us to test the Empire's combat effectiveness. I'd like to see how capable this Imperial force, which Lieutenant Duran said could leap forward in sixteen hours. ”

Lin Yidong understood the truth of "building a big and having to start a starport first", and also stretched his eyebrows: "Lieutenant Duran, he said that the empire can leap to support within sixteen hours?" ”

"Yes, he was ridiculed by Dugar for a while after he said that, you know, your Uncle Dugar is a staunch believer in great humanism, he is the mainstay of UED's radical dogma and radical faction, and he is very unaccustomed to Duran's defection."

Lin Yidong didn't laugh in agreement, but calmly stated to Stukov: "However, Uncle Stukov, my personal advice is to maintain a certain degree of vigilance and surveillance of Duran, my intuition tells me that Samir Duran is not very reliable. ”

Stukov also slowly put away his smile, and Lin Yidong's serious face told Stukov that Lin Yidong's worries were definitely not groundless, besides, Stukov was also a wise commander, and it was very necessary to maintain a moderate level of suspicion about everything.
