An inexplicable alarm shattered the tranquility of Space City One residing in Sori's orbit, the space military command center of the Carter civilization, responsible for unifying all military forces in the home star system, as well as resource allocation tasks.

After learning that the amoeba fleet will arrive at the home star system in a few years, every space city is armed to the teeth, all kinds of ammunition, food, medical supplies, building materials and other resources are all stored, and the weapon system is always online.

The various space cities are always in contact with each other, once a space city is attacked, there will be a fleet immediately rushed there to support, the attacked space city does not need to defeat the enemy, only needs to support until the arrival of reinforcements.

However, with such full preparation, one of the many space cities suddenly lost contact, which means that the space city has fallen.

"Space City Eight has lost contact!"

In the command room, the commander-in-chief immediately received a report from his subordinates.

No one will question whether this is a false alarm caused by a problem with the communication system of Space City 8, in the early stage of the plan, the decision-makers of the strategy have long considered that there may be such a false alarm, so they use a variety of communication terminals, and it is a multi-band contact at all times, a communication terminal may fail, a single channel may be interfered with, but all communication terminals, all frequency bands have disappeared, and information cannot be received, which means that Space City 8 has been destroyed.

There is no second explanation other than this.

"What's the last message?" The commander-in-chief asked.

He stared grimly at the location of Space City 8 on the display, where there was a crimson warning icon.

"Just some routine debriefing!" Subordinate reports.

Hearing this information, the commander-in-chief was obviously stunned for a moment, in the formulated strategy, the major space cities will be engaged at the same time, the information shown by the enemy will be delivered, this is to obtain the information of the amoeba military force, knowing oneself and knowing the other can win a hundred battles, the Carters also understand this truth, in order to defeat the amoeba invaders and win the final victory, it is necessary to obtain the intelligence of the amoeba fleet.

But what his subordinates are reporting now is so unexpected by the commander-in-chief, there is no information about amoeba, which means that the eighth space city did not notice the arrival of the amoeba fleet and went to destruction, and the heavy armor of the space city did not play a trace of protection at all, like paper paste...... No, it is more fragile than paper, and it takes time for the huge space city to be destroyed even if it is going to be destroyed, which is enough time for the operator to pass on some simple information, but in fact, the eighth space city was suddenly cut off, which means that amoeba killed all the Carters in the eighth space city in an instant.

"Sudden destruction?" The commander-in-chief muttered.

The commander-in-chief, who had deduced this, couldn't help but feel even heavier in his heart, he withdrew his gaze from the warning icon, and strode to the place where the staff group gathered, at this moment, these military elites of the Carter civilization were conducting many hypothetical military deductions because of the fall of Space City 8.

After seeing the arrival of the commander-in-chief, the staff officers stopped their discussion.

"What do you think?" The commander-in-chief asked.

One of the staff officers stepped forward and explained to the commander-in-chief the conclusions they had reached after many discussions.

"The loss of contact with Space City 8 is very likely to have arrived ahead of schedule for the vanguard fleet of the amoeba civilization, which is the closest location to the amoeba mother star system, and it is also the direction in which the amoeba fleet invades us."

Immediately, another staff officer stood up and expressed his agreement with this point of view, this staff officer is a staunch supporter of the "Theory of Quality War", "I also agree with this speculation, the war between civilizations is fundamentally a qualitative competition, and the amoebas from afar are definitely inferior to us in terms of quality, so they will try their best to occupy some places and obtain as many resources as possible." ”

"The hypothetical simulation of transstellar operations has been very intuitively shown, and the energy consumed by a fleet of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people to overcome the gravitational pull of the star to launch to another star is extremely large, and the deceleration of the fleet itself also requires a huge amount of energy, so it is very uneconomical."

"If only a small number of the strongest elites are assigned, then the energy consumption requirements will be much less, and these elites only need to occupy some planets, and then expand their combat power by obtaining the resources of these planets."

In order to understand what kind of means and what kind of attack will be used when the amoeba invades, the military elite of the Carter civilization assumed that their own civilization was the side of the aggressor, and it was also based on this thought experiment that they discovered the military theory "Theory of Quality War".

It is obviously unrealistic to maintain a supply line at the transstellar level, and if you force it to do so, it is not only as simple as speeding up the fleet, but also the quality of military supplies to speed up the transstellar voyage, and over time, such military costs will become higher and higher, which is very anti-intellectual behavior.

Therefore, some people have proposed that instead of working hard to speed up military supplies, it is better to speed up the arsenal, move the entire arsenal to another star system, and use local materials for the production of military supplies.

You don't even need to move the arsenal, you need to move a simple production line that can make an arsenal, and after arriving at another star system, use the material resources in that star system to make a large number of arsenals to meet the needs of the war on the front line.

These are the reasons why the military strata of the Carter civilization attach so much importance to The Theory of Quality War, because in their opinion, the amoeba is very likely to invade in this way.

"It's from our point of view, and we can't dictate what amoeba should do by our own standards."

The commander-in-chief did not agree with the judgment of the staff officers, and after synthesizing all the intelligence information, he made his decision known.

"I have decided to attack with all ships, and 200,000 warships will go to the twelfth orbit to meet Amoeba's fleet."

"You think it's amoeba's main fleet?" The staff officer asked.

The Commander-in-Chief shook his head, and he explained the reasons for his decision.

"It doesn't matter if it's or not, we desperately need a victory to prove our strength, both to boost morale and to show the amoeba invaders how powerful we are today."

"In order to ensure that this first victory is foolproof, an all-ship attack is a necessary choice, which of you has any objections?"
