In fact, it is not only Li Xingqi who is busy with the arms race, many galaxies with better economies have also taken action, even if they are not ready to attack others, they must not let themselves fall behind.

Getting armaments up first, and scaring others without fighting is a common idea of many people, and it is also a mainstream perception at present.

This kind of perception is not only popular among the high-level, but also among ordinary people, because no one wants to be the conquered party, and if you have armaments, you don't have to worry about someone bullying you at any time.

Under the influence of this ideology, the arms race in various places has become more and more lively, and warships, mechas, and all kinds of weapons and equipment have become sought-after goods.

This is a great bargain for all kinds of manufacturers of weapons and equipment, and for them, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune; in addition to seizing the time to make money, they are also vigorously carrying out all kinds of propaganda to describe the arms race as the only means of guaranteeing security.

Among these manufacturers, the most benefited is undoubtedly a super enterprise like Starlink, which not only has a complete range of products, huge production capacity, but also has factories in many places, which is the first choice for many people to purchase weapons.

The snowflake-like order made the Starlink fall into extreme excitement, Tang Lun was so busy all day long that not only did he not have the energy to trouble Liu Yi anymore, but even the meetings of the Yaqiu Political Affairs Committee were often absent.

Fortunately, there are quite a few people in the committee, and one more or less has no effect, but Tang Lun's performance gives people a feeling that he is slowly moving away from the Yaqiu political arena.

With the escalation of the arms race, Jieyi has also made a lot of money, and even the Bingfeng base is also producing at full capacity, and the simplified version of the mecha designed by Tang Jie for the overseas colonies has become very popular.

With a large inflow of capital, Liu Yi planned to expand two more complete production lines to meet the very strong demand.

However, under Tang Jie's proposition, none of these mass-produced mecha was equipped with the Yaqiu Army, and the Yaqiu Army still insisted on purchasing models with better performance, and the simplified version of the mecha was only used for external sales.

During this period, Liu Yi's second tranche of bonds was also successfully issued, and it was quickly sold out again. This money is still used for the construction of the fleet, and unlike others who are engaged in an arms race with great fanfare, Yaqiu has always maintained a steady pace of progress.

Just as Yaqiu was immersed in his own development, a news came that Liu Yi was both shocked and expected, Li Xingqi officially sent troops to the adjacent Walrus Galaxy, intending to include this galaxy in his sphere of influence.

The Walrus Galaxy naturally will not sit still, although it is impossible to resist Li Xingqi's fleet on its own, but Zhou Dao, the chief of the Walrus Galaxy, immediately contacted his ally, Xu Ji, the chief of the Bucks Galaxy, and the two sides jointly sent troops to resist Li Xingqi's attack.

The combined forces of Walrus and Bucks assembled in the Walrus Galaxy, and made up their minds that they would not leave the system easily, as long as they relied on their own foundations to stabilize their defenses, even if Li Xingqi's fleet had an advantage, they would not be able to do anything.

This imminent war immediately became the focus of everyone's attention, and all kinds of true and false news on the Internet were overwhelming, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Of course, Liu Yi also attaches great importance to this war, and Li Xingqi's success or failure is also directly related to Yaqiu. If Li Xingqi wins, his strength will be further strengthened, and Yaqiu, as an ally, will naturally be safer.

But if Li Xingqi is defeated, Yaqiu may also become the target of others, after all, the current Yaqiu is still not strong.

Li Xingqi out of trust in Liu Yi, all kinds of intelligence did not hide from Liu Yi, so Liu Yi could get all kinds of news from the front line in real time.

Liu Yi was not familiar with the battle between fleets, so he had to ask Feng Kailong for advice. Feng Kailong has been the admiral of the fleet for decades, and he is extremely familiar with the battles between fleets, as long as Liu Yi asks, he will explain to Liu Yi in great detail, which makes Liu Yi benefit a lot.

However, Liu Yi often went to disturb Feng Kailong, and he didn't feel very good, so he simply held a staff meeting and held meetings every day to discuss Li Xingqi's war.

For this reason, Liu Yi also specially instructed Shangguanqi and Ke Rin to attend the daily meeting and learn from Feng Kailong together.

This staff meeting is said to be a meeting, but it is actually more like a study class, and Feng Kailong is the teacher in charge of explaining.

Feng Kailong is usually not very good-tempered and very stubborn, but he is very patient when it comes to war, no matter who asks questions, he will answer them seriously.

After a few days of meetings, everyone who participated in the meeting felt that they had learned a lot, and Liu Yi was full of interest in Feng Kailong's explanation.

In the afternoon of that day, it was time for the staff meeting, and no one dared to be absent, and all of them arrived at the conference room on time.

"Everyone, please see, the latest battle report from the Sea Wolf Fleet shows that the two sides are currently in a state of confrontation, the two fleets of Walruses and Bucks are cowering near the Glass Star, and the Sea Wolf Fleet does not dare to enter the Walrus Galaxy easily, and no one dares to act rashly......" Feng Kailong pointed to the simulated image in the holographic projection and said to everyone.

"Looking at it this way, the battle of the Seawolf Fleet is not easy to fight, and if it drags on for too long, I am afraid that it will only be in vain." Ye Na said first.

Many people present thought that what Ye Na said was reasonable, and nodded in agreement.

However, Liu Yi didn't think so, this time Li Xingqi did not act rashly, but sent troops after full preparation, like the current situation, he could not have no surprise, but he was afraid that Li Xingqi would have further actions.

"I think Li Xingqi must already have a backhand, otherwise he will go all the way with the fleet and return in vain, wouldn't he be laughed to death by the world?" Liu Yi said.

"The other party can't shrink back, I really can't see what Li Xingqi can do to break the other party's defense." Ye Na then said.

Liu Yi looked at Shangguan Qi and Ke Rin, only to see that Shangguan Qi frowned, as if he was pondering, while Ke Rin had a sad face, and it seemed that he was thinking very painfully.

Everyone discussed, but no one could say why, Feng Kailong kept watching everyone and did not interject, so everyone could fully discuss.

When everyone had almost finished speaking, Feng Kailong finally spoke: "Everyone's discussion has some truth, but it doesn't get to the point. ”

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly sat up straight, knowing that Feng Kailong was going to talk about dry goods next.

"In fact, this war should be considered holistically, and if you only focus on the battlefield, I am afraid it will be difficult to grasp the key to the whole war." Feng Kailong explained.

"Lao Feng, what is the key to this war?" Ke Rin said politely at all: "Just talk about it quickly, don't sell it." ”

Ke Rin has never been very polite to Feng Kailong, but Feng Kailong does not blame Ke Rin for this, but has a little appreciation for this upright person.

Feng Kailong smiled: "Actually, the key to this war is very simple, as long as you look at it a little wider, you can find it. ”

Liu Yi said to Ke Rin: "You don't know to ask questions all day long, you should think more about it." ”

"Don't embarrass me, if the mecha combat is not bad for me, the fleet will not work, I have no clue at all!" Kirin said unabashedly.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Ke Rin didn't blush at all, and laughed with everyone.

Liu Yi shook his head helplessly and said, "Actually, don't worry about those details, just look at this war as a game of chess and consider it from the perspective of winning in chess." ”

"Got it, I'll try it as much as I can!" Kirin said with a hippie smile.

Feng Kailong said with a smile: "Governor Liu is right, we are just discussing here, we don't have to think too carefully, just consider the big picture." It's really like playing chess, just think about the strategic aspect, and don't worry about the details for the time being. ”

At this time, Shangguanqi said: "I think about it, I don't know if it's right. I am thinking from the side of the sea wolf fleet, to break through this iron bucket formation, you can take the method of fighting behind enemy lines, send a ground force to sneak into the capital of the opponent, as long as the core department is taken, the other side will lose the support from the ground, and then the fleet will be fully pressed, and the opponent will have a showdown. ”

Feng Kailong said: "This method is not impossible, but it requires long-term and thoughtful preparation to do it, and the success rate is difficult to predict." If the ground forces are unable to complete the sneak attack mission on time and on time, the entire strategic layout will fail, and then they can only retreat in disgrace. ”

Shangguan Qi was pointed out by Feng Kailong to the point, and said convincingly: "It seems that I haven't considered it mature enough......

"Actually, this is still a tactical way of thinking, and I hope that everyone will not only stare at the tactical level, but try to think from a strategic perspective."

"I see!" Suddenly, one of Feng Kailong's officers said: "Actually, the Sea Wolf Fleet can also go to ask for reinforcements, as long as there is another fleet to help in the battle, with an absolute numerical advantage, even if the other party is cowering at home, it can't resist it." General, can this be considered a strategic consideration? ”

"Yes." Feng Kailong nodded and said: "It's actually not bad to think about it this way, as long as the number has an absolute advantage, it will naturally greatly increase the probability of winning." However, this is theoretical, and in practice it is not possible to ask for reinforcements. So, please think again, how can we win with the current army without reinforcements. ”

At this time, Feng Kailong was like an old professor at the Military Academy teaching his students, using various methods to inspire everyone's thinking.

There was silence in the conference room for a while, and Liu Yi suddenly smiled and said, "I thought of it!" ”

Hearing Liu Yi's voice, everyone in the conference room immediately looked at Liu Yi in unison, waiting for him to give his answer.
