In Duke? Two hours after Arthur's fleet arrived in Proxima Centauri, Blair? Rex's fleets deployed in the space station industrial park and the Hermes spaceport began to retreat urgently, and after hastily sweeping almost all the supplies in the two places, they all withdrew to Othello, preparing to rely on the powerful defense capability of Othello's orbital ring.

General Patelem and General Victor have expressed their dissatisfaction with Blair's decision to abandon the space station, the industrial park and the Hermes spaceport, two strategic points. After all, in this way, the entire line of defense will lose its strategic depth, and most of the interstellar lanes will fall to Duke? Arthur is in control, and the surveillance and communications satellites originally deployed in these lanes will also be purged and replaced by Duke? Arthur's satellites.

Without the various types and functional satellites scattered throughout the galaxy, Blair's side would lose all its home-field advantage. At the same time, the abandonment of the space station industrial park and the Hermes spaceport also caused Blair's side to lose two extremely critical space transit hubs, which completely limited the fleet's mobile combat capabilities to a certain extent, so that the Patrium fleet and the Victor fleet could only huddle in the orbital ring of Othello and passively meet the war.

In today's cosmic era, galaxies are like territories, and the space buildings in the galaxy are like cities, and the empty space between the 'cities' that can be navigated by large starships is equivalent to the land of the old era.

Blair's abandonment of the space station industrial park and the Hermes spaceport is in effect the abandonment of two cities and the vast territory surrounding them. According to the concept of the old era, if Proxima Centauri was compared to a country, then Blair's move was equivalent to giving up 90% of the country's territory and simply defending his own capital.

In the old days, if a war was fought on this level, the outcome was already predestined. General Patelem and General Victor were dissatisfied with this strategic policy, precisely because of the serious consequences of losing the initiative in the war.

However, from Robin's standpoint, he did not have the same concerns as General Patrium and General Victor.

Similar tactics were widely used by the ancestors of the Han people in the primeval era thousands of years ago. This tactical term that has existed since the Warring States period is familiar to everyone who is familiar with Han culture.

Now, Robin wants Blair to concentrate all his military forces on Othello, precisely to use the 'solid wall clearing' as a response to Duke? Arthur's core tactics to use.

Limited by their personal vision and the limitations of their position, Patlem and Victor's concerns are more tactical limitations. What do they think of Ansel? The purpose of Auswid's major counteroffensive was to try to seize the E-18 white hole and the E-18 black hole, which are the gateways to the capital circle of the Alpha system. Now, after Blair cedes the Hermes spaceport and space station industrial complex, is it equal to Duke? Arthur helped Anse Air without a single soldier? Ausvid accomplished the core objective of the entire counteroffensive plan. After occupying the Hermes spaceport in the northern star field where the E-18 white hole is located, and the space station industrial park in the southern star field where the E-18 black hole is located, Anse Air has actually fully mastered the two entry and exit portals of the E-18 black hole and the E-18 white hole, and the national gate that originally restricted the Alpha Capital Circle has been opened to Anse Air again. So, Duke? Arthur only needs to defend these two portals, and does not even need to attack the planet Othello, as long as he properly maintains the military deterrence against the new Federation, and the kingdom of Raymond of Anse Elr can be invincible.

Conversely, with the loss of the E-18 black hole and the E-18 white hole, the new federation is in a much worse situation. Guarding only the planet Othello, the capital city slightly larger than Earth, Blair is completely trapped in a lonely city isolated from the outside world. Although there is no need to worry about the supply of the people and the army with the original MK military factory and material production capacity on Othello, in the long run, the people's confidence in the new federation will be shaken, and the new federation will lose the original development opportunities.

Therefore, it makes sense that Patlaim and Victor would vigorously oppose Robin's tactic. From the perspective of the interests of the new federation, Robin's move is completely stupid, which is equivalent to completely ruining the future of the new federation.

However, if we look beyond the confines of the new federation and look at the big picture, the situation is completely different.

From Robin's point of view, the siege of Othello was only temporary, and Ansel, who occupied the Hermes spaceport and the space station industrial park, did not actually win this important battle.

That's right, after occupying the Hermes spaceport and the space station industrial park, Anse Air has indeed actually controlled the two access gateways of the E-18 black hole and the E-18 white hole, and the ultimate goal of this dispatch seems to have been accomplished. But in fact, Robin's military deployment in the Ultra Nebula Autonomous Region can directly threaten the E-18 White Hole in the Northern Star Domain, and Blair's New Federation Army, which has preserved all its strength in the Othello planet, is also threatening Duke all the time? Arthur.

When Duke? Arthur's fleet was in offensive mode and when it came together as an army, his forces were beyond the reach of Robin and Blair's combined forces. However, once he has obtained the Hermes spaceport, the space station industrial park, the E-18 black hole, and the E-18 white hole, his troops will definitely need to be stationed in different places. As a result, the large army that was originally concentrated into one force will be completely dispersed, and it will also lose a considerable part of its mobile combat capability due to garrison reasons.

Therefore, Robin let Blair save his strength and retreat in the Othello planet, not only completely preserving the mobile power in Blair's hands, but also weakening Duke? Arthur's forces that Arthur was able to use for a long time to come, and as this was bound to increase, the two sides actually had the upper hand in the military contest between Robin and Blair.

In addition, the relinquishment of the Hermes spaceport and the space station industrial park is actually an extremely insidious trap laid by Robin after considering the unfavorable political situation in the capital area.

As we all know, the current Anse El is due to the fall of Proxima Centauri and Eugene? Mellon's death has greatly reduced its political deterrent. As a direct consequence, is Robert? Rockefeller and Simon? DuPont's attack and reliance on Audrey's royal prestige made the situation in Ansel's Alpha Capital extremely bad.

Will Ansel do everything in his power to kill Duke? Arthur led his troops to counterattack Proxima Centauri, in an attempt to destroy Blair with the power of thunder? Rex is in great trouble and uses this victory to rebuild his prestige and suppress Robert in the cabinet again? Rockefeller and Simon? DuPont, to achieve its goal of controlling the overall situation.

So, Ansel's ultimate goal is not just the two portals of the E-18 black hole and the E-18 white hole, he wants to solve Robert? Rockefeller and Simon? DuPont, the two political enemies, must not only win in Proxima Centauri, but also a quick and comprehensive victory, only then can he regain control of the situation and turn things in the direction he expected.

It's a pity that he underestimated Robin's political sense and Blair's unconditional belief in Robin. He never thought that Robin's just one sentence would make Blair give up more than ninety percent of the territory of the new Federation without hesitation, and be willing to shrink into Othello as a shrunken turtle on the planet Othello.

That's pretty ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
