Volume I: Chapter 67 Guerrilla After the War
Yang Le is responsible for cleaning up the battlefield after the war, based on the danger of the current environment behind the enemy line, Zhao Deming gives Yang Le very little time, just one day, and Yang Le also has to open an artificial wormhole for the fleet's next move, it can be said that Yang Le's task is very heavy, but Zhao Deming has confidence in Yang Le's ability, and now the most important problem in logistics is also the problem of the entire fleet.
When Zhao Deming went to the headquarters of the Star Alliance to participate in the pre-war meeting, the earth-shattering sound of the Star Alliance's slogan could be reversed to Zhao Deming and Zhao Deming were mostly not very practical materials, especially the anti-matter Star Alliance only gave five kilograms, which is now all the antimatter reserves of the new fleet, and all the antimatter given by the Atlanteans before was used in the construction of the new fleet, it is said that when the fleet was built, the Atlanteans saw that the antimatter was not enough, and they forced out more than 2,000 antimatter from the logistics of their own fleet to successfully complete the construction. And the Grand Commander didn't even mention a word to him about this matter, the comparison between the two is really a world of difference, the reason why the Star Alliance has such a posture he knows very well in his heart, isn't it cannon fodder, every time the fleet fights behind enemy lines in the past, there is no precedent for coming back, and no matter how much material is given, it is a waste, these five kilograms of antimatter are enough for Zhao Deming's fleet to carry out wormhole jumps ten times, and each time it can walk more than 200 light years, it is really a bit large The size of the fleet is a bit large, if it is a cruiser or the like, it is no problem to double.
The Star Alliance planned a good hand of chess, but they underestimated Zhao Deming, Zhao Deming's trump card Heavenly Venerable can create antimatter, one hundred grams a day is not only more than enough to maintain the fleet, but it is no problem to end the battle behind the enemy and go home, but this situation is only clear to three people, except for the two of them who are in charge of logistics, not to mention that it is because the fleet needs to maintain combat strength, this kind of battle behind enemy lines is very clear to everyone There is no possibility of going back, in this case, he has no need to explain, Fighting with the confidence of death will definitely be able to exert strong combat effectiveness, but the reality is that there are too many rookies, and this combat power still needs to be practiced.
Holding meetings to review mistakes made in the course of operations is the main task of the fleet at present.
Celebrate? The battle is like this, it is better to avoid it, the enemy's two fleets have a total of ten battleships, twenty cruisers, one hundred frigates, and all of them are wiped out, which seems to be a good result, but according to the previous galactic combat experience, the loss of the human fleet should be three battleships and three thousand drones, but after this battle, the human beings lost four thousand drones, two battleships were seriously damaged, and five battleships were slightly damaged to varying degrees, if it were not for the strengthening of the shield at the critical moment, the loss was estimated to be greater.
For the two battleships with serious damage to the power system, Zhao Deming's decision was to simply abandon the ship, and all the personnel were assigned to the captain and deputy captain of other battleships, except for the captain and deputy captain, he found a new errand for these four senior officers to supervise the summary and study of the battle by each ship, which was also a helpless thing, he had no new battleships for them to use, so he could only be wronged first.
"The meeting begins!" Kuroku announced the start of this discussion on operations behind enemy lines.
"Before the formal meeting, let me say something," Zhao Deming looked at the stern expressions of the twenty captains and deputy captains below and said slowly: "Which one is the person who is in a hurry in the battle, and the formation does not understand that the battle is the first priority?" ”
"I, I, I," a middle-aged male returnee stood up tremblingly.
Zhao Deming looked at the rather burly returnee and said: "According to what we said before, your current position is deputy captain, if possible, I will give you a chance to be the captain, but next time you mess up, then go to the logistics to move the box."
"Yes," the middle-aged captain replied.
Then Zhao Deming turned his head to look at Hei Hei and asked, "How many boards should he play in this situation!" ”
"My lord, his punishment in this case is too light according to the regulations"
"I know, I can give each of you a chance like this, but when you run out, you will find yourself in a more miserable situation, if you can't bear it, you can bring it up now, if the battle is like this, I think your deputy captain can also be fully competent, hehe" Zhao Deming said with some yin and yang weirdness.
The captains below had different expressions, this taunting word hit their faces crackling, they fought this battle was really ugly, if it was handled according to the normal process, it was estimated that half of the people on the scene would go down.
"I really don't have anything to say about this first battle, Heihei, you just beat him for twenty boards first, we will be rewarded if we have a penalty, Wang Jiben is the one"
"It's me!" The same middle-aged male returnee quickly stood up straight and saluted, all in one go.
Seeing Wang Jiben's military appearance, Zhao Deming couldn't help but give him a high score in his heart, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Your battleship antimatter shells are not missing, and the drone command is also very reasonable, I will now specially name your battleship as a sword, this is the honor of your whole ship, as for your personal reward, in addition to what you deserve, I can also meet your request, let's talk about it"
"Yes!" Wang Jiben saluted neatly again and then said: "Respected leader, I have to apologize to you first"
"Oh!" Zhao Deming looked at Wang Jiben with some incredulity, waved him to sit down, and said.
Wang Jiben lowered his head and sighed: "We first underestimated you, and then underestimated the strength of the enemy, so today's situation will appear."
"Well, you're finally telling the truth," Wang interjected.
Zhao Deming looked at Wang Pengxun and said what do you mean, why don't you tell me first.
"Ahem" Wang Pengxun had to cover up his embarrassment with a cough first, he didn't want to say that he just wanted to save some face for the fleet, since the fleet was raised now, he also took the opportunity to say it, otherwise this staff officer would be unqualified, after a light cough, he faced Zhao Deming and continued: "It's such a leader, I just want to give the captains some time to think for themselves, and the defeat in this battle has something to do with their mentality."
"Yes, Chief of Staff Wang Pengxun is very correct, our distrust of you has caused us to hesitate a little when carrying out your orders, and we are not mentally prepared for the enemy's tenacity, and we can completely avoid the enemy's counterattack at the last moment of the battle, we are still too light on the enemy, so I ask for a personal reward for me," Wang Jiben said.
Zhao Deming's eyes went back and forth to his captains, thinking that this matter could not be blamed entirely on them, after all, he was indeed not qualified enough, and it was understandable that there were problems in execution, but he still needed to knock them, and then said: "Then what do you think now?"
"Listen to the order, never give up!" The twenty captains and deputy captains stood up at the same time and saluted in response.
"Okay, okay, sit down" Zhao Deming motioned for everyone to sit down again and continued: "I'm not omnipotent, and there are times when I make mistakes, and I have to rely on you to remind me when the time comes, I approve Wang Jiben's requirements, but you still have to do one thing, that is, write out your experience in commanding drone battleships, I want the whole fleet to want you to learn."
"Ahh Wang Jiben replied with some pain: "It's okay for me to command battleships, but it's really a bit difficult for you to ask me to write these things."
"You're stupid, can't you just find someone to help you write, just express the essence, and then hand these over to Wang Pengxun and he will come up with a very complete thing"
"That's it, it's done"
Zhao Deming nodded with satisfaction and said to Wang Pengxun: "Chief of Staff Wang, then I will trouble you, you must come up with corresponding solutions to the problems that arise in this battle, and then everyone will carry out five or six wormhole shuttles, so let's study hard during this period."
"You mean that we are about to set sail, and the number of shuttles should be more than a thousand light years, so the maintenance of our fleet cannot be carried out, in case of ......a battle," Wang Jiben said with some concern.
"You don't have to worry about these, I will give you maintenance time at the right time, now you ......can replenish the drone first" Zhao Deming suddenly stopped his words, because he inadvertently saw the deputy captains sitting behind the captain were somewhat depressed, it seems that these people are very self-motivated, and continued with a bitter smile in his heart: "The captains can leave and go back to prepare for the next battle, and the deputy captains will leave me."
After the captains left in unison, Zhao Deming began to look at the deputy captains with a wicked smile on his face, and made a few words from time to time, and it didn't take long for the captains to start to get hairy in their hearts, and they really couldn't figure out what Zhao Deming was going to do.
"What? It's a little disappointed that I didn't become the captain, right?" Zhao Deming suddenly spoke, and his tone was a little teasing.
None of the vice-captains spoke, but the movement of lowering their heads told Zhao Deming that they really thought so.
"It's normal to have this thought, although I don't know you well, but I'm sure some of you must be qualified for the position of captain"
"Really! You believe us, we thought ......," said a young man in his twenties, not without excitement.
"You think I'm just using you as a spare tire, do you?"
The young man asking the question lowered his head to his chest and did not speak.
"It's not that I don't believe in your ability, so let's do it, you raise your heads and take a good look at each other, and you understand what you're talking about" Zhao Deming directly threw the question to them, he believed that these people could figure it out.
After more than ten minutes, the young man said with some unconfidence: "Do you think that we are young and inexperienced?" ”
Zhao Deming has been observing this group of young people, they discussed softly, for a while he was a little envious of them, pressure is sometimes really able to make a person not even know him is a typical example, thinking back to his past that was really a good baby, after hearing the vice captains have a public discussion, Zhao Deming replied with a smile: "You are half right, let me ask you a question, if the previous battle is changed to your command, how far can you go, remember that you are the captain, It's not a simple battle problem that you're trying to solve."
"Like what?" The young man continued.
"For example, the problem of coordination between the humans on Earth and the returnees, and the contradictions between the returnees, how are you going to deal with them?"
The young man could not answer immediately, and they began a new round of discussion.
This young team of deputy captains is too young, each of them is less than twenty-five years old, three of them are the outstanding backbones of Zhang Lei's fleet, and the rest are all cultivated by the Earth Military Academy, and the overall actual combat experience is really impossible to mention, now the situation is really special, otherwise he would not have brought a group of young people to the battlefield, but on the other hand, if this group of people can become talents, it will be a huge wealth of mankind, young is good, when Zhao Deming expressed such feelings, he didn't want to think about how old he was, It's terrifying to be in this position now.
"We discussed it briefly and decided that it couldn't be done, and it could be worse," said the young man.
"Well, it's good to recognize your mistakes, now you all give me wide eyes to study hard, and give me all the skills of the captains, I will promise you now, as long as you are qualified, I will give you a battleship, how about it" Zhao Deming said excitedly.
"You're right, that's great"
"How could I, as a leader, lie to you, okay, go back, remember what I said and strengthen yourself is the right way"
Fifteen days later, Zhao Deming's fleet had to stop after the fifth of the original six wormhole shuttles, because the sixth wormhole opened after the first pathfinder ship found a strange target, for the sake of safety Zhao Deming ordered the fleet to repair, the five wormhole shuttles cost his fleet to go 1,500 light years, no matter how to say that it should be safer now, he used this time to send more reconnaissance, but the news back was even more vague.
