Chapter 398: Reserve Force
After Qi Yao turned off the communication, he turned around and saw that Qi Lu was already standing respectfully at the door of the command room, so he asked, "Have the orders been conveyed?" ”
"Yes!" Qi Lu took a few steps closer to Qi Yao, walked to the electronic map and pointed to the location of Luo Fei's amphibious battleship and said, "General Luo Fei has always been in this position, he said that he would be able to reach the sky above our position in half an hour,"
"Half an hour," Qi Yao frowned slightly and looked out of the position, "In such a war of attrition, the consumption of half an hour is not a small amount, can't Luo Fei be a little faster?" ”
Qi Lu spoke, "I have already told him about the situation on our side, and General Luo Fei said that he will rush over to support us as quickly as possible,"
Qi Yao nodded, lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking again, "We have to reduce the casualty rate on the position, we can't go on like this, before Luo Fei's amphibious warship arrives, we will do the minimum defense, you go and tell a few captains on the position, from now on stick to the defense line, only use long-range weapons to attack, as long as we ensure that those aliens can't break through our positional defense line,"
"Yes! I'll let you know right away," Qi Lu turned around and left the command room.
At this time, Qi Lu saw that Qi Yao not only considered the victory of the battle, but also cherished the lives of the soldiers so much, and he no longer simply obeyed Qi Yao in his heart, but had more reverence. Qi Lu felt that Qi Yao was many times better than Qi Si, who only knew how to pursue victory.
After changing his tactics, Qi Yao couldn't relax anymore, he kept monitoring from time to time, watching the battle situation on the front line through the screen, and on his left hand side was a map of the whole planet, showing the specific location of each amphibious warship.
Obviously, he already has the chance to win, but Qi Yao's heart just feels unsteady, and he always feels that Xun Zhi's side will not be so simple. Qi Yao's mind began to calculate the vitality that he could still mobilize in his hands. He found that he could not mobilize as many troops as he thought he could get rid of the necessary garrisons.
This made Qi Yao, who had always liked to control the overall situation, feel a trace of anxiety in his heart. After looking sideways at the map of the planet for a moment, he decided to contact Lynch on the mothership.
"Lynch," Qi Yao said with a stiff coldness in his tone, "How many amphibious warships can we build with the resources in our mothership?" ”
Lynch was shocked, but immediately calmed down and said, "Judging from the current resources, two medium-sized amphibious warships can be built, and if it is staying on the planet now, such a large amphibious warship can only be built,"
Qi Yao thought for a while and said, "I don't need a large amphibious warship, what I need is a warship that can carry out a large-scale air-to-ground strike, energy is the key,"
"In this case," Lynch thought for a moment and said, "through space transformation, it should be possible to build three amphibious warships with strong attack power but relatively low aircraft,"
"Yes, but I need these warships to be equipped with high-energy photon energy cannons instead of ordinary laser energy cannons, can I do it?" Qi Yao wanted to know how many lethal weapons he could gather in his hands.
Lynch's heart tightened for a while, thinking to himself that Xun Zhi had already forced the commander to use such a lethal weapon? In the past, when they were exiled to plunder the resources of other planets, the combat power of those large amphibious warships was already considered a behemoth, and they all fell when they saw it.
This time, the commander sent all the amphibious warships in the mothership to the planet, and it was not enough, but he also had to build more powerful amphibious warships himself, which was really unprecedented. Does that Xun Zhi really need the commander to use such a big battle?
Qi Yao saw that Lin Qi was so shocked that he spoke, "I asked you to build it just in case, and I don't want to use such a devastating weapon, if these amphibious warships of mine can deter Xun Zhi and make him obedient and surrender, that will be the best ending, I don't want to destroy a Xun Zhi at all and make the planet miserable, this will only leave endless troubles for our children and grandchildren,"
"Understood, these amphibious warships are a deterrent even if they are in reserve, right?" Lynch understood what Qi Yao meant.
"Yes, I hope it just serves as a deterrent," Qi Yao's dark eyes also revealed a trace of helplessness and worry.
"Commander, you don't have to be too anxious, maybe Xun Zhi has already admitted defeat before I finish building these warships," Lynch knew that his commander looked cold, but his mind was very delicate, it seemed that every soldier's life was his responsibility and he needed to protect it.
"I hope so," Qi Yao put away his useless thoughts and continued to speak, "You continue to explore that mine for me, I must know the composition and function of the ore in that mine, Qiu Sijie's research has also encountered a bottleneck,"
Lynch raised his eyebrows slightly, "There are still things that Qiu Sijie can't study, it seems that this Xun Zhi is not simple,"
"So we must figure out what the hole cards in his hand are, so that we can deal with them easily and not be beaten passively," Qi Yao didn't like the feeling that the overall situation was not under his control at all.
"I'll have people scramble up, and I'll report back to the commander as soon as I have the results," Lynch's expression became solemn.
"Finally, I would like to remind you again, be careful of Xun Zhi's spies," Qi Yao's tone became more cold, "An Jiu has secretly found out a lot of Xun Zhi's spies in the capital, you and Chu Yanli must be cautious, those who are not 100% sure would rather abandon and exile than stay, now we can't have any slackness, let alone make mistakes, understand?" ”
"Yes!" Lynch also replied very solemnly.
"Okay, I'll leave the matter of the mothership to you," Qi Yao was just about to turn off the video, but his fingers paused again, "How are the two children?" ”
Lynch's eyes instantly became gentle when he saw Qi Yao mentioning the child, "The two children are very good now, very healthy, there is nothing unsuitable, the commander can rest assured,"
"Well, you let people be careful, that's Ran Xin's heart and soul baby, if something goes wrong, it will kill her," Qi Yao didn't even consciously slow down his tone when he said this.
Lynch laughed, "Isn't that the commander's heart?" ”
"Of course it is," Qi Yao's heart warmed when he was told by Lynch's words.
"Well, I know, the children of the First Commander of the Stars, even if I don't want my own life, I will take care of them," Lynch replied with a smile.
Qi Yao immediately reprimanded with a calm face, "What nonsense! How can they compare to you, you are the captain of the ship can command the battleship instead of me, command the battle, what can two little dolls do? How can you say such inconsequential words? ”
"I'm sorry, I lost my words," Lynch knew that it was because the commander valued himself that he was so angry.
