Chapter 143: Killing Machine in the Jungle (I)

Returning to the temporary station of the convoy, Robin and the others informed Xia Zuo, who was in charge of the convoy, of the news of the total destruction of the saber-toothed tiger mercenaries, and planned to discuss with him the next plan of action.

In the process, Robin also discussed with him his plan to change his original strategic goal and change the temporary stationing on Wendini Planet to the strategic plan of fighting for control of Wendini Planet by force.

Upon learning that the planet Wendini contains an astonishing amount of Mycenae metal and various precious biological resources, Xia Zuo immediately reached an agreement with Robin on the issue of taking control of the planet Wendinee. And in Xia Zuo's view, the benefits of taking Planet Wendini are far more than just dominating resources, compared to the Ultra Nebula far away on the edge of the Proxima Centauri Domain, controlling Planet Wendini is equivalent to controlling the Barnard System, and the advantages brought by an independent galaxy are far from what the Ultra Nebula can give.

After all, if a fleet wants to grow stronger, then it must have a solid rear base camp. From this point of view, although the Ultra Nebula is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it lacks land, lacks biological resources, and the living environment is extremely harsh, although the current situation is quite good, but if the fleet size is further expanded, then the Ultra Nebula will be difficult to undertake the task of providing huge logistics supplies for the fleet, and its difficult navigation conditions also limit transportation to a large extent. If the Ultra Nebula is set as the strategic base camp of the fleet in the future, then after a period of accumulation, these problems will gradually be exposed and become the biggest obstacle to the further expansion of the fleet.

Therefore, in Xia Zuo's view, the Ultra Nebula is not suitable to become the ultimate base camp, and considering its unique geographical location and the advantages of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, the most accurate positioning of the Ultra Nebula should be a large military fortress, becoming a strategic point that can hold the E-18 white hole and directly threaten the Federation itself. In the future, if the Republic can defeat the Federation Expeditionary Fleet in the solar system, and Robin can further stabilize the Ultra Nebula, then the future war between the two countries will not involve the solar system itself, but will use the northern star field as a battlefield for a protracted tug-of-war.

If this is the ultimate goal in the future, then opening a new strategic base is a priority. In all respects, the Barnard system, where Wendini is located, is the most suitable.

First of all, the Barnard system is extremely rich in strategic material resources. There are amazing reserves of mycenaean metal veins, and the natural conditions are extremely excellent, which is almost a pure natural biological cycle base. Moreover, Planet Wendini is the largest rocky habitable planet in the known range, and its land area is even larger than all the planets in the entire solar system combined.

In addition, the Barnard system has an extremely smooth shipping lane, which is a purely cosmic safe shipping lane like the northern star field, and also has an R-n black hole that can perform leap navigation between star systems. Currently, the Federation does not have full control over the Barnard system, so the R-n black hole in the Barnard system is almost completely defenseless compared to the heavily defended E-18 black hole in Proxima Centauri. Taking advantage of this, the fleet could build a permanent jump communication tower here that could directly connect to the Republic, allowing the central computer's electronic network to step out of the solar system and directly connect the Barnard system to the Ultra Nebula.

Of course, with Robin's current military strength, it is almost impossible to accomplish such a strategic goal at once. Between the Federation Army, Emperor ** and Robin, Robin is undoubtedly the weakest of them. Moreover, even if Robin can complete a miracle of war, it would be pure fantasy to rely on weak forces to hold the Barnard system.

Unlike the Ultra Nebula, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Barnard System's unobstructed interstellar lanes and the geomorphological features of Planet Wendini are destined to be an easy to attack and difficult to defend in the four battles. Therefore, all Robin can do now is to wait for the opportunity, wait for the Federation to lose its will to fight for the Barnard system due to the coup d'état at home, and in the process, use the large number of mercenaries and five Gemini Knights battle teams invested by the Federation on the planet Wendiney to kill and injure the Emperor's counteroffensive forces as much as possible. Only in this way can Robin's weak position in military strength be gradually restored, and at the moment when the opportunity really comes, it will quickly encroach on the area controlled by the Federation, and form a situation of fighting against the emperor who stays on the planet Wendini.

Successfully completing such a situation is the best result that Robin can achieve at the moment. And it will be difficult to achieve such a result, after all, most of this is just Robin and Xia Zuo's speculation, there are so many variables in it, and no one can guarantee that reality will unfold in the direction they envisioned until the situation has reached that point.

But even if the strategic outlook is fraught with uncertainty, the immeasurable benefits of its success are enough to prompt Robin to take a risk. And compared to Robin's previous strategic direction, which was only a framework, the strategic plan supplemented by Xia Zuo has been very detailed, even detailed to the course of action of each step.

Through this strategic and tactical discussion with Xia Zuo, Robin further realized Xia Zuo's military capabilities, and also understood why Chief of Staff Jarvis strongly recommended Xia Zuo for the position of front-line staff officer.

There is no doubt that Shazo is an extremely good staff officer, and his attainments at the tactical level are even no less than that of Yalvis. And the tactical dimension is precisely an important element that Robin lacks the most as a commander.

As Jarvis said in his evaluation of Robin, Robin is a natural military strategist, and he has a keen sense of global change that is characteristic of a military strategist. Thus, at the strategic level, he was often able to make some unexpected decisions in anticipation, and in some critical moments, his seemingly reckless decisions proved to be the wisest of them.

However, his advantage is limited to the strategic level, due to the lack of sufficient theoretical accumulation and tactical cultivation, Robin's command of operations is often simply improvised, if he commands a special operations team, Robin may still be competent, but if the number of people increases to a company, Robin will be a little inadequate. So, this flaw makes Robin not a good military commander.

Robin's position is best suited for Robin with the elite infantry who charges into battle by force and a brilliant leader with astonishing insight, he is a natural military strategist and a natural soldier king, but unfortunately he is not a famous general who can lead his troops to conquer everything.

In contrast, Xia Zuo is clearly the other extreme. With his old-fashioned personality, he lacks the strategic vision of Robin, but he has enough theoretical background and tactical accomplishment. He wasn't fit to be a leader, he wasn't fit to be the one to set goals, but he was able to lead an army and do what Robin couldn't. In this respect, he is even better than Jarvis and Aubrey with exceptional talent, and his equally strong individual force makes him a better fit to stand next to Robin.

"The trace of the current emperor"

Suddenly, Zoro was armed with black 3 armor 'Yaksha' and jumped from the towering canopy like a fleeting ghost.

"Oh?" Robin and Xia Zuo glanced at each other in surprise when they heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Is it the direction to the H-2 scientific research base?" ”

"There's no way to know for sure, but ...... The possibilities are high. ”

After returning to the station, Robin was worried that the emperor ** lurking in the jungle had not gone away, so he ordered Zhuo Luo and Li to search for the traces of the emperor ** in the jungle as much as possible, trying to find them before the other party...
