Chapter 435: Strategic Maneuver Space (Part II)

After almost half a year of silence. The kingdom's war machine is back in full swing!

The competition between major powers is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat! Take the lead, step by step! If you lose the opportunity, you can only be suppressed by hostile countries everywhere, and it is difficult to have a chance to turn the tables!

Today's Starlight Kingdom is in the stage of moving from an ordinary power to a first-class power, and only by racing against time and managing it carefully can we successfully pass this critical period and lay a solid foundation for eventually growing into a superpower!

The territory of more than 200 star fields adds up to a radius of more than 10,000 light years! However, this is not enough, if we want to be invincible in the future competition, we must also push the national border thousands of light-years outward!

In the void near the planet of the royal capital, 600,000 warships have already risen from the major bases on the neighboring planets, gathered together, and completed the formation under the command of Tian Xuanhao.

In the main control room of the flagship, Feng Lanxi made a final analysis and explanation to the middle and senior officers on the war plan that had been agreed upon by the top level of the kingdom:

“…… The kingdom's current territory is indeed large, but one obvious shortcoming is that our border location is not secure enough! The east, south, and north directions are all on the waterway with dense wormholes and developed traffic! Such a status quo is certainly conducive to the development of economy and trade, but from a military point of view, it is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable! ”

"Behind these dense wormholes is the hinterland star field of the kingdom, and it is a safe and convenient main channel along the way, and there is no danger to defend at all! If a hostile force has a strong enough fleet, it is very easy to break through our fragile defense line from these directions, and encircle and force the royal capital in several ways! ”

"Therefore, the direction of our troop use this time is the eastern starry sky, and the target is the Tongsha Star Field, which is about 1,300 light-years away! Further beyond this star field, there are only a few wormholes leading to the outer starry sky, as long as a certain number of troops are stationed nearby, they can be effectively defended! ”

On the huge stereoscopic projection sand table, there is a star map around the kingdom, and the forces of a slightly larger scale have been marked in detail! A glowing cursor was under the control of her spiritual power, and she clicked on the position that represented the Tongsha Star Field, leaving a mark, and then the cursor went all the way down, passing through more than ten star fields, and after drawing an irregular arc, it stayed on the Qinzhuo Star Domain in the south!

"Besides......" she continued, "beyond the southern boundary of the kingdom, about four thousand six hundred light-years, is this star field, and this is another Jedi in the Hellsoul Star Sea, the Binggeth Corridor!" Although it is not as large as the large-scale natural danger of Ximeng Xingyuan, if it is used well, it is enough to protect the safety of the hinterland of the kingdom! ”

"The purpose of our dispatch this time is to purge the forces in the eastern direction, take the Tongsha Star Domain into our hands, and then sweep all the way down! To the southern tip of the Qinzhuo Star Domain, all the hostile forces in this fan-shaped region must be exterminated one by one! ”

"As long as the plan is successfully completed, we will add more than 30 new star domains, and use this new border on the periphery to build a stable and safe enough star defense with the help of the terrain!"

A large part of the war in the interstellar age revolves around the struggle and control of the shipping lanes! And the wormhole is the key node that connects the waterway and communicates with the major star fields!

In some key passages, whoever controls the right to use the wormhole will control the economic development and military security lifeline of the corresponding star field!

Therefore, the areas with many waterways and dense wormholes are often the places of the four wars, the focus of the competition between the forces of all parties! It is also the weakness of a country! Such a place must not fall into the hands of foreign enemies!

As long as the kingdom fleet reaches the expected goal, it can connect those star fields with fewer wormholes and are conducive to arming to create a relatively safe star defense!

Among these more than thirty star fields, except for a slightly more powerful force in the Skoll Federation, the rest are not a problem! It's just around the corner! ——

Skoll Field, the seat of the federal capital.

In the president's office, the federal administrative center located on the planet of the capital, dozens of senior military and political officials have gathered to discuss countermeasures for the imminent invasion of the Federation!

Dinek sat on the throne, and there was no expression on his old square face, but he sat there like a clay statue!

The eyes clearly reflected the reactions of all the adults present! In the face of this national crisis, the Federation may overturn at any time, these usually high-ranking big people are all like frosted eggplants at this time!

The fearful generals proposed that the civil officials send personnel to negotiate and try not to use their swords; The civilians suggested that the generals should lead the fleet to meet the enemy, and it was better to win a few battles, and only then could they make peace!

The two sides passed the buck like this, and they couldn't reach an agreement after arguing for a long time! In the end, they unanimously kicked the ball to Dinek!

"Your Excellency, I wonder what your opinion is on the current predicament facing the Federation?" Gauss, commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht, asked on behalf of the military generals.

What to do? You ask me! Who goes, I ask? Dinek glared at him in ambarrassment, and for the first time there were signs of life on his square wooden face.

The Federation is too small! It is only a territory of fourteen star fields, the level of economic development is average, the population is less than 50 billion, the resources are not abundant, the standing army is only 200,000 fleets, and the troops of the Alien are less than 100,000! For that fabulously born and rising power, this family background is not enough for people to stuff their teeth!

The fleet of the Starlight Kingdom is advancing all the way, and it will soon be under the city! It's only a matter of time before the starfields fall, and it won't take too long! At that time, none of the high-ranking officials present could escape!

If you can't beat it, then surrender? But as a regime with a ** system, how can it bow to the monarchy? That would not be able to explain to the people in the country at all!

Besides, the decision on this kind of thing is not in their hands! It depends on the attitude of the oligarchs of the consortium! Aren't they all the people they support?

"What else can I do? Dispatch the fleet to meet the battle, of course! As the defender of the Federation, the Wehrmacht, at this time of national crisis, it is naturally time to use you! The president said lightly.

Gauss couldn't help but turn pale, and said in a low voice, "But...... Your Excellency the President, you know the situation of the Bundeswehr, compared to the tiger and wolf army of that country, it is not at all worthy of a battle! In doing so, are you not giving them the lives of millions of soldiers of the Federation Legion in vain? ”

"That's your problem!" The president said coldly, "If you feel that you can't do anything, then abdicate and make way for Xian!" ”

"I ......" Gauss turned red and stopped talking!

The president looked at the reactions of everyone present, and said with a sigh of relief: "Ladies and gentlemen, although there is a huge disparity in strength, since you are sitting here, you must do your due duty for the Federation!" It is a shame for us to give up without firing a shot! ”

"Our military is not strong, but it is not without the strength to fight! In any case, we have to fight for the Federation once, which is considered to have fulfilled our last obligation! As for what comes next, I'll go and talk to the council leaders, and the rest of them! Let's wait for the results to come back and discuss our future path! ”

"Yes! Your Excellency, President! Gauss finally agreed this time.

Another day passed, and after a few sporadic skirmishes, the fleet of the Starlight Kingdom finally approached the Star Field, the capital of the Federation!

600,000 brand-new elite warships, commanded by famous generals, are already a rare military force in this sea of stars! The Federation's fleet of 200,000 is a lot worse than that, and it can't be compared at all!

In the endless void, the fleet of the Starlight Kingdom lined up in a tight wedge-shaped attack phalanx, and under Tian Xuanhao's order, they began to launch the first round of attacks on the enemy ship formation!

In comparison, the fleet of the Skoll Federation is much shabby! Moreover, the talent of the commander-in-chief is far inferior, which can be seen from their restrained formation change and troop mobility style.

"Order the ministries to attack according to the predetermined plan! No room for backsliding! ”

Skoll looked at the kingdom's fleet opposite, tried to hide the horror in his heart, and said to his deputy in as majestic a tone as possible:

"I'm not feeling well, I'm going to rest for a while, and I'll find a doctor by the way, so please bother me here!"

“…… Be! Your Excellency, Commander! The guy replied helplessly.

But in my heart, I secretly cursed: something that is greedy for life and afraid of death! Say it's rest, and the pigs understand what you're going to do! Throw this mess to Lao Tzu to clean up for you, the credit for winning is yours, and if you lose, you want Lao Tzu to carry the black pot for you! You're a shrewd calculus!

But he only has to bow down and obey orders, who calls his official smaller than the other party!

Gauss finished the handover formalities and left the main control room and went back to his room, and a few minutes later, a small high-speed reconnaissance ship left the fleet and flew towards the planet of the federal capital as if fleeing for his life!

The adjutant general, who took over the command of the fleet, hardened his head and gave the order to attack!

After several rounds of artillery bombardment, the formation was compact, the offensive was fierce, and the kingdom's fleet, which advanced and retreated in a strict and orderly manner, suffered few casualties, while its own fleet lost thousands of warships due to inconsistent coordination and slow response!

"This Skoll Federation, the main fleet is at this level?"

Tian Xuanhao, who was originally quite serious and cautious, couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he thought that he would have a good fight, but now it seems that the ability of the other party's main general is scum at all! It's not worth lifting his shoes!

"It's better to be careful, maybe the other party did it on purpose?" Yun Haoyu said with a smile.

"Maybe! Hopefully they still have some material! Tian Xuanhao muttered a sentence and began to adjust the rhythm of the attack, and the movements of the entire fleet were obviously a little faster!

Half an hour later, the Federation fleet, which had a large casualty rate, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the formation had a faint tendency to collapse!
