Chapter 82 (I)
On the flagship of the First Combined Fleet of the Wanluo Federation, Wei Fei sat quietly in the command chair, looking at the galaxy map in front of him expressionlessly. As a large blue triangle slowly approached a yellow dotted line, the entire flagship stopped breathing, staring nervously at the screen. As for the radar officer on the flagship, he didn't blink his eyes and was engrossed in monitoring the radar.
From the perspective of the universe, this combined fleet of 150,000 warships, the muzzles of all warships are constantly moving. The whole atmosphere makes people know at a glance that they are in a state of being a great enemy.
"There are still 10 seconds, 9, 8, 7 ......" With the countdown sound from the computer, everyone stayed at their posts nervously, and even Wei Fei, who maintained a normal demeanor, clenched his fists uncontrollably.
“3、2、1、0! Enter the Sven System! Hearing the sound of the computer, everyone's bodies shook violently, as if they were preparing to defend against something, but then everyone's bodies softened as if they were relieved.
Wei Fei, who had never spoken, opened his mouth and asked, "Didn't you find anything abnormal?" ”
"Nope! There are no anomalies in the effective range of the radar! The radarman immediately replied when he heard the question.
Wei Fei nodded and ordered to the adjutant beside him: "Order the two wings to spread out and release the reconnaissance boat." As the lieutenant passed the order to the whole fleet, one triangle on the galaxy map slowly separated one triangle to the left and right, and then a dense cluster of small blue dots from the three triangles. These little blue dots were so fast that they threw the triangle far away and began to scatter around the galaxy map.
At this moment, the three-dimensional avatars of Will Johansen and Levi Yanke appeared in front of Wei Fei. After the two saluted Wei Fei, Levy preemptively said, "Big brother, it's really a strange thing, we actually entered the Sven Galaxy without resistance. "It's not a strange thing, Moon Reth wouldn't fight our millions of troops head-on even if he was an idiot, he would definitely scrape up the food on the planets, and then put us on these burdens, and finally wipe us out when we can't keep up with the supplies!" ”
Levy pursed his lips and said, "Second brother, such a scorched earth method has been taught in the new barracks, and Moon Reth won't come up with this method, right?" This method is used on the side of the enemy, and we are now counterinsurgent, is it useful for him to do this? ”
"Of course it works! You must know that the people don't care who is in power, and whoever you don't have food will turn against you. So if Moon Reth really does this trick, we will really have to carry this burden. Alas, I hope we don't take over too many planets, and even if the food making machines on the fleet run at high loads, they can only support about 50 planets. Will shook his head and sighed.
Looking at Wei Fei, who was discussing between the two, he couldn't help but think of the fact that when he first set off, the three of them became brothers. At that time, I would think of swearing brothers so that the fleet would have a unified command system, because all three of them were rear admirals and each controlled a fleet. Although the fleet is united, although there is a commander-in-chief of the combined fleet above, but those people above are not here, and the fleet has its own command system, if you don't elect a leader, no one will obey anyone at that time, isn't that a rabble?
After ranking the age, he became the eldest brother, Weir is the second, and Levy is the third, and they all seem to really regard themselves as big brothers. Of course, this also requires the three of them to maintain a friendly relationship for a long time in order to succeed in worshipping. Like the other combined fleets, because of the size of the military rank, and the order to negotiate together, those fleets have not been fully united until now.
This is also the reason why his main fleet will be the vanguard, that is, he is afraid that other fleets will be the vanguard, and they will be broken up before they are rectified. Although the commanders of the other fleets are all young Zhuang like themselves, when it comes to the ability to command the fleet, it is not bad. But because they are all lonely and humble people, such people will still play a role in controlling the fleet alone, but it is a very bad idea to let them form a combined fleet. If they are grouped together, not to mention that they will not be able to exert their combat effectiveness, I am afraid that they will also cause confusion in command. After all, these fleets were formed for a very short time, and they were not subordinate to each other before, and the command was chaotic, and the results can be imagined.
Seeing that Wei Fei was silent, both Will and Levy asked in unison, "What do you think, big brother?" ”
"Oh, I think, we're here to put down the rebellion, not to save the people. At present, our main task is to destroy the main force of the rebel army, and in the future, if it is not a military star, we will not occupy it, and leave it to the fleet behind. Wei Fei sighed and said.
Will and the two couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and after a while before Ville said: "Big brother must have a reason for doing this." ”
Wei Fei nodded and said, "I believe you also know that our First Combined Fleet can be said without exaggeration to be the most combat-effective and united of the 10 Combined Fleets. ”
Both of them nodded in agreement, looking at the scattered and slow combined fleet behind them, they could conclude that there was no comparison with their own fleet, one on earth and one in the sky.
Wei Fei saw that the two brothers were waiting for him to continue, and he was not embarrassed, and immediately said: "If the planets on our way are all ransacked, this can mean that it is a trap, do we still have to jump into the trap when we see it?" So instead of distributing food, we should look for the main rebel army. And leaving this to the combined fleet behind will not only allow them to stop and straighten out the fleet, but also rescue those people, and the captains of those fleets will not blame us for taking credit from them. ”
"Hehe, in this way, we can not only concentrate on finding the main force of the rebels, but also the friendly side can reorganize the fleet, and also save the people, and also sell a favor to the friendly fleet, this is really a four-pronged thing, the eldest brother is really clever." Levy gave a thumbs up and laughed.
Wei Fei shook his head with a smile and was about to say something, when the adjutant suddenly interrupted the report and said, "Report to the commander, the reconnaissance ship has received a telegram from the nearest planet, and the local planetary political axe welcomes us to return here." ”
Wei Fei saw the light shining from the planet closest to his fleet on the galaxy map, and couldn't help but nod and said, "Please keep them in order, and ask them if they have enough food." ”
"Yes!" The adjutant hurried to the liaison officer's office to deliver orders.
Both Will and Levi didn't say a word, quietly accompanying Wei Fei and waiting for the planet's reply.
After a while, the adjutant quickly brought back a reply: "Report to the chief, they said that they will definitely maintain law and order, and said that there is no shortage of food on the planet, and at the same time expressed their willingness to help food for our army." ”
Wei Fei and the three of them couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, didn't Moon Reth use the trick of scorched earth policy? As they pondered, news came from the scout ship that hundreds of administrative stars had been recovered, and these planets sent a message to welcome the federal army to the place almost as soon as they found it. All of these planets are well fed, and many of them have even sent electricity to the Federation Army to say what they need, just ask, to ensure that all the needs of the army are met.
Wei Fei pondered for a while and then said to the adjutant: "Send a telegram to the fleet behind, saying that we are in a hurry to find the main force of the rebels, so the matter of recovering the planet will trouble them." ”
"Uh......" The adjutant couldn't help but hesitate for a while when he heard this, the merit of occupying a planet is enough to make a private promoted to a colonel, and this is a planet that hundreds of people can occupy if they send someone to do it, so the credit is given to the fleet behind?
Of course, Wei Fei understood the adjutant's thoughts, got up and patted the adjutant on the shoulder and said: "Look farther, compared to destroying the main force of the rebels, this is only a small credit, and in any case, our First Combined Fleet is the vanguard, even if we don't occupy a planet, those fleets behind will share the credit with us." Alright, go and deliver the order. ”
"Yes!" After listening to the commander's explanation, the adjutant no longer hesitated to act immediately.
Levy smiled: "Big brother, as soon as your telegram reaches the back, I believe they will definitely rush in here as soon as possible." ”
Wei Fei smiled and said, "We also want to remind those fleet commanders in our personal name, and implicitly tell them to reorganize the fleet when they take advantage of the time to recover the planet." ”
Will ask suspiciously, "Will they listen?" Although everyone is from the Young Zhuang faction, they usually don't have any contacts. ”
Wei Fei smiled bitterly: "Let's do our best." After speaking, he waved his hand and ordered: "I order!" The wings were folded, and the whole ship quickly passed through this area, and the reconnaissance boat continued to reconnoiter around, and reported anything unusual immediately! ”
"Yes!" All the officers, including Ville and Levy, stood up and saluted and obeyed the order.
In a cosmic region of the Muli Galaxy, countless warships painted with the military emblem of the Lacey Federation quietly anchored here.
"Your Excellency, the vanguard fleet of the Wanluo Army, which entered our territory from the Zola system, did not stop long, and has already gathered its troops and advanced at full speed. According to the intercepted communications, the Vanguard Fleet handed over all the planets within the range of the reconnaissance boat to the follow-up force. A major general wearing the uniform of the Federation of Laceys saluted Li Tao, who was wearing a general's uniform, and said.
Li Tao nodded, looked at the galaxy map and sighed: "It's hard to gnaw, it seems that several fleets will have to be sacrificed to entangle him." ”
Donterres, who was wiping the newly changed lieutenant rank on his shoulder with joy, couldn't help but ask out loud when he heard this, "Uncle Li...... Oh, Your Excellency, is the vanguard fleet of the Wanluo Army really so hard to gnaw? How can you tell that he is difficult to bite? Donterres, who had already begun his reform, was very obedient to his father's instructions to learn more and ask more questions, and to learn whenever he could.
Li Tao said to Don Tress very respectfully: "Lieutenant, I believe you also know that the merit of occupying a planet is very huge, but the vanguard of the other side has given hundreds, which can be said to be occupied by sending a soldier, to the fleet behind, and concentrated on finding the main force of our army, which shows that the vanguard officer of the other party is a strong-willed person, and at the same time, he is also a person who does not seek small profits." To put it bluntly, the commander of the opposing side is a man who will not throw watermelons in order to pick up sesame seeds. ”
Dontres was not annoyed by Li Tao calling himself a lieutenant, because his father emphasized to him that there is only a distinction between high and low ranks in the army, and there is no big young master at all, and you have to obey the orders of your superiors if you are lower in rank than others. As soon as Dontres came to the battleship, he was promoted by Li Tao for a very empty reason, which made Donterres firmly believe that the battlefield was the easiest place to be promoted.
Of course, although Li Tao called Dontres a lieutenant, he regarded him as a young master in his heart and tone, no, it should be said that he was a prince! Facing the person who is about to become the prince, how dare Li Tao really pose as a boss?
Dontres nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Although the other commander is such a person, he can't attract the attention of Your Excellency because of this, and even decided to sacrifice a few fleets to entangle him instead of destroying him, there must be some other reason, right?" ”
Li Tao nodded in surprise, and muttered in his heart: "It seems that this young master is not as stupid as rumored." Of course, he replied at once: "Yes, if that were the case, I would not have said to send a few fleets to entangle him." Let's take a look at how this Combined Fleet compares to other Combined Fleets. As he spoke, he pressed the button, and the galaxy map immediately changed, and ten blue squares appeared.
When Dontres saw a neatly arranged triangle, he immediately decided that it was the vanguard, because the other squares were strangely shaped like tangrams, and they didn't look like the formation of the battleship when it moved.
Li Tao saw that Dontres had noticed it, so he continued: "Judging from the formation, you can know that this fleet's discipline and integration surnames are stronger than other fleets. And you know, the formation of other fleets is so chaotic because there are three commanders of the same rank in each fleet. This also shows how powerful a person can be who can make the other two peers obey his orders. ”
"Actually, the most important point is ......," Li Tao pressed a button and continued: "This fleet has 10,000 high-level warships, and it is easy to destroy 100,000 low-level warships with such combat effectiveness." ”
Dontres nodded solemnly, everyone in the army knows that although command ability is important, what is more important is the level of the battleship. The examples of battles that can win more with less are all the results of the same level of warships on both sides, or the result of the less side being under the high-level warships. If you want to win against a high-level battleship with the same number of low-level ships, unless the main combatants on the high-level battleship are all idiots, it is just a dream.
"Then how many troops are you going to use to hold this fleet back?" Dontres asked.
"The five fleets of 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10." Li Tao looked at the galaxy map and said.
"300,000? One-third of the troops? Although the opponent has 10,000 high-level warships, there is no need to dispatch a fleet of 5 ordinary warships to deal with him at once, right? With this leaving us with only 10 fleets to maneuver, what about the enemy forces that enter the Deira system from the other side of the Four Jupiters? Dontres said in surprise.
"If it weren't for the fact that we really didn't have enough troops, I would have used more fleets against that fleet. You must know that in addition to 10,000 high-level warships, there are also 140,000 low-level warships in that fleet. As long as this main force is entangled, it will be worth it even if 5 fleets completely collapse. Because except for this First Combined Fleet, we don't have to pay much attention to the other fleets, even if the enemy attacks from both sides, our remaining 10 fleets can completely play with them in the palm of their hands. Li Tao said with a smug face.
