322."The Sound of the East Strikes the West" [Part II]
Wait, here we must make it clear that this strategy of "striking the east and attacking the west" is not a "striking the west with the east" in the military art of war. Rather, it is a strategic deployment arrangement to prevent a repetition of historical mistakes.
This plan, submitted to Istah, fully spells out the relationship of the Son of Keha with the Confederation and the Republic of Antiga. If you continue to attack the main star of the Federation, launch a military offensive and continue to advance.
It will definitely provoke a fierce reaction from the federal government, and when the time comes, the son of Keha and the federation will fight, no matter who wins or loses in the end, it will inevitably be the result of both defeats, and it is very likely that Antiga will pick peaches.
It was on the basis of these considerations that the plan proposed: "A statement will be made about the war crimes of Antiga, and the attitude of our sons of Keha and Antiga will be revealed." In addition, the war with the Federation, although it is impossible to stop here, can suspend the attack on the main star of the Federation, and first free up your hands to take more planets with high industrial output or strategic value. ”
Holding the document given by the staff in his hand, Ishtar nodded with general satisfaction: "Yes, in general, it coincides with my thinking, but will the Federation and Antiga be as we wish?" ”
Ista is mainly worried about whether the Federation and the Antigian civilization will follow this plan of the Sons of Keha? Fooling others on the spot, I guess this is only a fool who will look at it like this, right?
However, the staff officers here also gave a more reasonable explanation: "The Republic of Antiga is very ambitious, he has been peeking at the rich resources in the federal star area, and he finally found an opportunity, if he does not achieve the desired benefits, he will definitely not easily withdraw the army!" ”
This should be well understood, what is the purpose of the outbreak of war? If it were not for the sake of seizing benefits, there would simply be no need for war. Therefore, it is certain here that Antiga will definitely not choose to retreat easily until it achieves its goal.
As long as the invaders do not withdraw their troops, as a legitimate government, they must take on the responsibility of defending their homeland and country. The Federation must send troops to meet it, especially now that the sons of Keha have released a declaration that they will be hostile to Antiga, will the Federation dare not resist? If you really dare to do this, it will inevitably become a handle again, and then it will be vigorously promoted by the son of Keha! In this way, the federal government has been largely cut off from all other avenues except for the international negotiating table.
In this way, the tip of the needle is against the wheat. If you want an easy truce, it will naturally not be too realistic. And as the son of Keha, who is a "third party", the identity here is also very appropriate.
The first is that it will never irritate the Federation, and will not stab the heart of the Federation. As long as the main star of the Federation is guaranteed to be safe, the federal government will still have a legitimate government in the universe. And as long as there is no threat, the biggest enemy of the Federation is still a foreign enemy!
At the same time, what is very clever here is that the Son of Keha did not stop the war against the Federation, but only slightly changed the strategic goal. As long as the Sons of Keha and the Federation do not unite, they will continue to fight. Of course, the Republic of Antiga is happy to see it, and now after the Federation is taken down, wouldn't it be more perfect to attack the son of Keha and come up with a strategy to defeat each other?
This series of explanations and explanations were all told to Ishtar by the staff officers, and he quickly understood. Even if it is the Federation and Antiga, some people who understand can see that the son of Keha is suspected of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. But as long as they don't touch their vigilance, they won't be targeted by either side.
Immediately Ista agreed: "You're right, at least I can't think of any flaws, just do what you want!" ”
The son of Keha lacks all talents, but there are many talents in the military field. It is for this reason that Ishtar is not worried about the war and is relieved to leave it to others.
-- Dividing line --
The Orion Arm is the sector where the main star of the Federation is located. At the same time, it is also called the "main artery" of the Federation!
While the Federation and Antiga were at loggerheads, the fleet of the Sons of Keha bypassed Proxima Centauri and bypassed the solar system. Storming the junction between the "Orion Arm" and the main star of the Federation has a variety of meanings as to what the purpose is.
First, to test the Federation's reaction, the political significance of attacking this position, although it is not as big as the Federation's main star, but it has considerable strategic value. At least the title of "major artery" can already be imagined.
Second, because it is close to the core of the Federation, it was developed by the Federation at an early stage, and the mature industrial system is very developed. If it can be taken here, it will be conducive to reversing the industrial output of the Son of Keha and the Federation.
Third, by laying down this Orion arm, you can put on a posture of strategic encirclement against the galaxy of the main star of the Federation. Regardless of whether the Federation wants to or not, as long as it is formed by this posture, it will have a great advantage for the strategic general offensive of the Son of Keha in the future!
Of course, there are many small purposes, which can also be achieved incidentally. For example, the industrial development of the son of Keha and the seizure of the industrial powerhouse of the Federation will inevitably have great benefits.
It's just that if you think about it this way, you need to preserve the industrial capacity of these places to the maximum. Otherwise, if it is scorched to the ground, even if it is taken, it will lose its strategic significance. Therefore, for these places, the best way is to land operations, if they can be preserved as best as possible, if they can't, then they can only be said to do their best.
Once again, Ishtar made his own mech and stepped onto the ship's catapult. However, this time, he did not carry his "victory cigar", but lit it directly and put it on his mouth: "Who thinks that we will lose?" ”
Yes, it's certainly not going to be easy to lose, but the difficult landing battles and troublesome street battles won't be easy, right?
However, this time, as the attacker, the son of Keha began to gradually equip the army with new equipment, although the old equipment could not be replaced for a while because of the war, it still occupied a considerable part. But the elite troops have been installed, and the combat effectiveness has been expanded by several notches in an instant.
New equipment with more firepower, better protection, and better performance. If you want to deal with the defenders of the Federation now, it shouldn't really be too much work, right?
