Chapter 368: Surprising Victory
Although various sources of intelligence indicate that there are currently as many as ten fleets in the Sea Eagle system, the actual number of ships far exceeds the number of ten fleets under normal circumstances.
For a long time, these fleets, which fought independently abroad, more or less concealed part of their strength.
The real number of ships of these fleets has long exceeded the establishment of ordinary fleets, and the number of ships of some fleets has even reached 1.5 times that of the normal establishment.
In fact, Li Xingqi knew some about this situation when he was alive, but these people have been fighting abroad for a long time, and it is understandable to prepare more ships, and it is impossible to ask them to report the most real situation at all times, which will only dampen the enthusiasm of some people.
Therefore, Li Xingqi always turns a blind eye to this problem, and only makes a detailed count every few years, and then reduces it as appropriate.
However, this kind of tolerant practice is tantamount to encouraging the bigwigs of these armies to secretly expand their armaments. Li Xingqi knew that if they didn't do this, they would reach out to him in everything, and it would be even more troublesome when the time came.
It's just that this approach is useful when wars are frequent, but when it comes to internal struggles for power, it becomes an unstable factor that is difficult to restrain itself.
Now Liu Yi and the others are facing this problem, although He Yan can stop most of the fleet by removing the authority, but there is no way to expand the fleet privately and not under the control of the command system.
This part of the concealed fleet, although the number is not too large, but the number of several people together is also very large.
At present, the number of ships in the Yaqiu fleet is actually not enough to reach the establishment of a normal fleet, but the enemy to deal with is far beyond itself, which will be a very big test for Commander Feng Kailong.
Feng Kailong told Liu Yi that the key now is to figure out how many fleets are concealed, and only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one win a hundred battles, if you can't even figure out the strength of the other party, then what kind of battle is there to talk about.
At this time, He Yan's connections in the army came in handy, and she had served as Li Xingqi's deputy for many years, and she probably knew more people than Li Xingqi, and she had acquaintances from all walks of life and all fleets.
He Yan may not be able to make these people betray his superiors, but it is not difficult to inquire about some information, not to mention that none of these people regard He Yan as a competitor, and it will not hurt the overall situation to reveal a little news to her.
After the information revealed by various people, and then sorting out and summarizing this information, in the end, Liu Yi and others were able to roughly guess the approximate number of fleets concealed.
"That's probably the number, let's take a look." Liu Yi ordered the data to be sent to several people involved in the decision-making.
After reading it, He Yan, Feng Kailong and the others were all taken aback, they didn't expect that there were so many fleets that were concealed and not reported, and the number exceeded the Yaqiu fleet by several times.
Don't mention the few ones, just say a few of the most, Mai Feng's fleet is two on the surface, but in fact, the number is almost three and a half teams, which means that he has one and a half fleets that are concealed and not reported.
The second most is Chen Qingguang, the number of ships he concealed is also nearly a complete fleet, and the number of ships concealed by others is almost equal to one and a half fleets.
Feng Kailong shook his head and said, "If we only rely on our fleet, even if our ships are more advanced than them, I am afraid we will not be able to deal with so many enemies." ”
He Yan was also very worried when she heard Feng Kailong say this, she originally thought that although these people would hide some fleets, but she didn't expect that there would be so much, if Li Xingqi was still alive, I am afraid that she would be furious and directly order the removal of their positions.
Everyone was silent when they looked at these numbers, and finally Feng Kailong said: "My lord, if we insist on fighting, I am afraid that the result will be unpredictable, I propose that you can return to Yaqiu first, and I will lead the fleet to complete the mission." ”
Liu Yi understood in his heart that Feng Kailong was ready to go and have no return, and planned to repay himself with death.
Liu Yi finally had these fleets and Feng Kailong, a general, how could it be easily consumed, and immediately shook his head and said: "General Feng doesn't need to say, if I still let you force you to fight in this situation, then I will be the stupidest person in the world." ”
The expression on He Yan's face changed a few times, and then said: "It's not easy to have this opportunity, if you give up in vain like this, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future, isn't there a better way?" ”
Everyone in Yaqiu knows very well in their hearts that even if all of Yaqiu's new weapons are used now, I am afraid that they will still not be able to win, the gap in numbers is too big, and it cannot be made up by relying on more advanced weapons.
Seeing that the meeting was at an impasse and everyone couldn't think of a way, Liu Yi suddenly slapped the table and said, "Hey! We were so stupid that we didn't even think of such an easy solution! ”
Everyone was taken aback by Liu Yi and hurriedly asked, "Is there any way?" ”
Liu Yi said with a smile: "We all got into the tip of the horns, just thinking that we can't let them fight, in fact, in the current situation, what if they let them fight each other, as long as most of the fleet can be retained." ”
He Yan immediately reacted and asked, "You mean let them fight first and lose both, and then we will make a move?" ”
"Not exactly." Liu Yi replied: "If you let them fight in a mess, I'm afraid there won't be much left of the fleet in the end." Besides, what we are worried about is the fleet that conceals the information, as long as this part of the fleet is reduced, the rest of the fleet can be controlled. ”
When everyone heard this, they basically understood what Liu Yi meant, and asked one after another, "What should I do?" ”
Liu Yi said: "It's very simple, now that Bai Tao's fleet is also here, they and the other five people are incompatible, so let Bai Tao's fleet go and fight with those fleets that conceal the report." All we have to do is keep the fleets that can be controlled from moving. ”
Feng Kailong nodded and said, "This method is good!" As long as they lose both sides, we will come out and clean up the mess, so that the odds are more than good! ”
"Good! That's what we're doing! Just enough to cancel out the power on both sides! The rest of the crowd praised the solution.
However, Bai Tao and the others were not fools, their fleet stopped as soon as they reached the edge of the galaxy, and did not kill Lan Sheng Star in one go as expected.
After discussion, several people felt that it was too risky to kill Lan Shengxing rashly like this, although He Yan asked them to control the core computer room, but the matter was too difficult, and the three of them didn't want to be used as a gunman by He Yan.
So the three of them asked to talk to He Yan again, and after connecting, the three of them asked He Yan for the permission password, saying that they had kept the agreement and should give them the box now.
Of course, He Yan would not agree like this, still insisted on the original request, and said that once the core computer room was cracked, it would be useless to give them permissions, and it would be better to act immediately than to bargain here.
Several people tugged around, and finally Bai Tao told the truth: "Lord He, it's not that we don't want to occupy the core computer room, it's just that our troops are really not enough to defeat so many enemies, even if we go, we will die in vain, we are not stupid enough to do that!" ”
He Yan saw that these guys were not so easy to fool, so she had to say: "I also understand that this matter is not easy, but I can assure you that the fleet they can send is actually not much, at most it is similar to you, so you don't dare to fight?" ”
"No kidding, we're not kids, how can we be fooled by you like this?" Luo Zhang said dissatisfiedly.
"I can guarantee that!" He Yan emphasized: "You can give it a try, if things don't go as I said, it's completely too late for you to evacuate immediately." ”
"How do you prove it?" Bai Tao asked.
"When your fleet gets there, I'll let you see it. You don't even have the guts to take a look, do you? He Yan said.
The three of them discussed on a private channel for a while, and finally said: "Okay, let's take a look, as long as things are as you said, we have to beat these people!" ”
"That's right, you are the people that Lord Li Xingqi is optimistic about, so you should have such a responsibility." He Yan said with a smile.
Just when Bai Tao and the others' fleet rushed to Lan Shengxing, the fleets of Mai Feng, Chen Qingguang and others had already arrived in advance, and the four-way fleet surrounded Lan Shengxing, demanding that Chi Xiaoyuan's fleet leave immediately, otherwise they would attack together.
Chi Xiaoyuan is not a fool, while bargaining with Mai Feng and others, while trying to find a way to win over in private, Chi Xiaoyuan's purpose is to delay time as much as possible, if he can win one or two of them, he will be able to win.
None of the five of them have the strength to beat the other competitors, so they all want to take advantage of the others, and it is better to lose both of them in order to profit from it.
Just when these people were fighting, the fleet of Bai Tao and the others was coming, and this news suddenly made these five people feel a huge threat.
So the five of them discussed, it was better to work together first, solve Bai Tao and the others, and then solve the problem between them.
After another bit of bargaining, the five finally reached a temporary agreement, each of them dispatched a fleet to defeat Bai Tao and the three of them, and then discussed the matter.
So a temporary combined fleet was put together, ready to face Bai Tao and the others together, and Bai Tao's fleet of three people also stopped far enough away from Lan Shengxing at this time.
The two sides confronted each other, waiting for the moment of war. At this time, an inconspicuous small battleship also quietly arrived near the battlefield, and He Yan and Liu Yi were on top of this inconspicuous small battleship.
