Mercury, flagship of the Sixth Fleet, USS Hindenburg War Room.

Although the Hindenburg is not the largest of the six fleet flagships, it is equipped with a lot of black technology, and its strength is difficult to estimate. Erich predicts that it may well become the flagship of the new combined fleet.

Its war room is very distinctive, with a huge rectangular war room of about 400 square meters, all covered with solid wood floors, and the walls are covered with green felt, on which are hung various situation maps, each of which is preceded by several staff officers in straight military uniforms discussing something. In the middle of the ground is an oversized astrolabe, on which the various locations are marked with small flags.

In the eyes of outsiders, such a decoration looks very retro and has little practicality, after all, it is much more convenient to project a holographic star map. But for the Sixth Fleet, such a configuration is their usual style.

In front of the largest map stands the commander of the Sixth Fleet, Erich, as a veteran of paper drawing, the red and blue arrows on the map are drawn with extraordinary accuracy, which is the situation map of the Davian galaxy, it seems that Christina is very fast, and has passed the detailed information to Erich. Standing beside him was his friend Zhang Chuanlan, who had long been accustomed to observing the situation through paper maps, and was carefully observing every tiny arrow on the map.

"It seems that when I came over, you even prepared a few sets of combat plans, and you are worthy of being known as the General Staff of the Earth, and you are fast enough." Zhang Chuanlan looked at the intertwined symbols of power on the map and exclaimed.

"Where, it's all thanks to our staff." Still, there was a smug look in Erich's eyes.

"It's just that the comparison between friend and foe on this needs to be revised." Zhang Chuanlan took a pencil and tapped it lightly on the map. Don't underestimate this pencil, it was specially supplied to Erich's staff, and a special production line was built for this purpose. After all, no one has used a pencil for hundreds of years.

"Oh? What's going on? Erich knew that there must be a reason for Zhang Chuanlan's words, and he began to re-examine the map in front of him, trying to find the problem Zhang Chuanlan said.

"According to the latest information from Lena, we can't speculate on the strength of the Davion Empire's space warships. But its ground forces are stronger than we thought. If a landing operation is carried out, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses. There are not only Davion and Chrissyrus in the universe, but the precious lives of our soldiers cannot be wasted for no reason. Zhang Chuanlan said, pointing to an arrow pointing from orbit to the surface of an obsidian.

"I've thought about this, we will use the battleships in the air to suppress the fire of the Obsidian ground forces, so that the pressure on the ground forces can be greatly reduced. I believe that several other princes and kings have nothing to say. Erich breathed a sigh of relief that there would be no problem with his plans in this regard.

"The problem is that the enemy will most likely not be massing on Obsidian." Zhang Chuanlan keenly pointed out the most likely strategy used by the enemy, "If we can defeat Davion's fleet, it is very likely that the Obsidian King will lead his own troops to flee to other planets. Our weapons are completely different from the magic kills of the Davians. Their magic rarely causes damage to the landscape, and they have not experienced the human way of warfare. We use our firepower to strike at the planets of the vassal states, and they will not agree. Based on this, the Obsidian King should not return to his own Obsidian. ”

"We can't expect the Davians to fight alongside us, they're just using us. When the war against the Obsidian King is over, they may turn against us. Zhang Chuanlan analyzed almost coldly, "We still have to fight with them for control of the artifact, don't forget, our purpose is the artifact in the hands of the Obsidian King." ”

"Artifact? How did the artifact get into Davion's hands, Christina didn't tell me about it. Erich was a little confused.

"Half a year ago, Lena encountered an artifact on the Ruby Star. Coupled with the fact that Ritotripe was confirmed to be a spy, this suggests that the artifact brought back by Parana should be a fake. That is, the one that was stolen. The enemy's purpose is simply to find the place where we hide the real artifact through this fake artifact, and at the same time make a safety insurance in case the earth has all the artifacts at the same time. And after the enemy knew that Jun had come to Earth, he was afraid that the fake artifact would be discovered by Jun, so he stole it first. It's just that the enemy didn't find out, and Lena had already fought with the artifact half a year ago. Zhang Chuanlan told the truth of the matter in one sentence, and he deserves to be called the commander of China's think tank.

"In this case, the transmitter I ordered to be attached to the artifact did not respond in the slightest, and it seems that the enemy destroyed the fake artifact at will. Originally, I wanted to find the mastermind behind the spy according to the map, but it's a pity, it's a pity. ”

While the two were talking and laughing, they had analyzed the situation to a certain extent. Erich was good at drawing up battle plans, analyzing strategies, and he knew everything a modern staff should have. Zhang Chuanlan, on the other hand, is like an ancient strategist, who can always find unique details from strategy and accurately analyze the enemy's movements. The resourcefulness of the two generals can be described as a perfect combination and complement each other. With these two people in command, the fleet can be safeguarded.

"So our battle plan should be revised to take into account attacks on other vassal states."

Erich smiled: "Although I didn't think that the Obsidian King would use other planets as cannon fodder, we have already completed the plan to attack other vassal states. Here, look at the map over here. As he spoke, he led Zhang Chuanlan to another picture next to him, and the arrows on it were more complicated.

"Whenever we encounter a new civilization, my staff always makes a plan of conquest first, so be prepared. Isn't this useful, just refer to this plan to reformulate the war plan against the Obsidian King. ”

Zhang Chuanlan was silent. This is the nature of all living beings in the universe. Suspicion, killing, is not just a human trait. No one ever wants to have ridiculous dreams of living things in this world coexist peacefully. But isn't this ridiculous dream exactly what people have been pursuing?

Erich saw through his thoughts and patted him on the shoulder: "This is the case in the universe, and how about the earth. We can only do our part to prevent humans from becoming Indians. ”

Erich can't understand the "harmony" in Chinese culture, and Zhang Chuanlan can understand this.

"Hey, Chuanlan." A familiar voice sounded in the communication terminal, and you didn't have to listen to it to know who it was.

"Paraná has convinced Marshall, and we have had a high-level meeting of the Joint Council." Christina said in a tone of disbelief, "The meeting was arguing, and several people were at loggerheads. But the Commander of the Combined Fleet will be one of you. Tomorrow morning there will be a investiture ceremony and an inaugural address. ”

Both breathed a sigh of relief, it was the best arrangement. Of the remaining three admirals, the strategic abilities of the two are not mentioned, and Admiral Leslie has lived on Earth for a long time and has little experience in fleet command, but he is Marshall's best friend. The two had feared that even if Marshall agreed to form a Combined Fleet Command, he would put his cronies in command. In this way, Marshall is still very sensible.

The two walked to the tarmac and prepared to take Zhang Chuanlan's "Commander Whirlwind" to the moon. By this time, it was already afternoon lunar standard time, Paraná was making up for a nap, Lena was wandering around the Washington, and only Christina was still reading at the Academy of Sciences. The two of them had nothing to do and decided to go to the Academy of Sciences to have a look first. Although he said this, Zhang Chuanlan had his own plans.

The Commander Whirlwind's retribution device is extremely fast and was developed by the Academy of Sciences for fleet commanders, but due to the high cost, it cannot be widely equipped with fleets. From time to time, Zhang Chuanlan used his own car as a scout, and although Christina threatened to change him to a normal version if he did it again, he was still not afraid to take the risk.

Sliding off the Hindenburg's tarmac, the Commander Tornado's hopping mechanism began to recharge, and in about a minute, it disappeared from the sky over Mercury.

"Wait, this isn't the moon, where is this?" The spacecraft reached the jumping point, and Erich looked out the window at the scene, which turned out to be a giant black hole and countless warships.

"Davion."
