Chapter 433: Winning or Failing
It is definitely not an easy task to have all 3,000 capital ships ready and complete coordination, and even in an ideal situation, it will take a lot of time.
It's just that Kutum has no choice but to wait patiently.
In the space battlefield, especially in the decisive battle of the fleet, no matter how powerful the existence is, it is the battleships in the fleet that determine the victory or defeat.
In fact, this is also the shortcoming of the Silicon Charm Alliance.
Although in the first five Greenwich Wars, the Silicon Alliance has the initiative, even in the Fifth Greenwich War, the Silicon Alliance only lost the fruits of victory and did not suffer a serious blow, but the Silicon Alliance does not rely on the fleet, but the strong combat effectiveness of the silicon life, a more efficient organization and command system, and the battlefield initiative obtained through active attack.
On the contrary, the defeat suffered by the Silicon Alliance in the previous five Greenwich Wars was all related to the fleet.
That is, the warships of the Silicon Charm Alliance, especially the capital ships, are far less effective than the Galactic Alliance, and it is difficult to gain an advantage in the space battlefield.
To put it simply, it's a technical problem.
It can be said that the greatest advantage of the Galactic Alliance is technology. Although the Galactic Alliance has suffered heavy losses in the last five Greenwich Wars and has been extremely passive in the early stages of the war, it has been able to turn the tide of the battlefield each time thanks to its technological superiority. On the space battlefield, the scientific and technological advantages of the Galactic Alliance are more obvious, and the most direct manifestation is that the warships of the Galactic Alliance have stronger combat effectiveness.
For warships of the same level, the combat power of the Silicon Charm Alliance is only about half of that of the Galactic Alliance.
Not to mention that compared with a top-level civilization like the Weaver Clan, even compared with the Human Federation, the main ships of the Silicon Charm Alliance have a big gap in combat effectiveness.
In fact, this is one of the main reasons why Kutum did not storm his home system.
Although limited by civilization level, the Human Federation only has a total of nine SSS-class warships. But there are hundreds of SS-class ships and many more S-class ships. Besides, after the outbreak of war, all restrictions will be automatically abolished, and the Human Federation will be able to build more capital ships. Of course, the construction period of capital ships is very long, and the Human Federation is only a sixth-class civilization. Even if mobilization for war has been completed, it will be difficult to build enough capital ships in a short period of time. The problem was that in the early days of the war, Kutum also mobilized insufficient forces. By the time he had completed his mobilization, the main legions of the Human Federation had all retreated to their home system. Based on the performance of the Human Federation in the previous wars, as long as the existing forces are reasonably used, with the cooperation of the fleet, it will definitely be able to buy time to complete the war mobilization. If Kutum invests too many troops in the attack on his home system and suffers heavy losses, then when other civilizations of the Galactic Alliance enter the war. I'm afraid there will be no soldiers available. Combining these factors, Kutum did not storm the home system.
From this, it follows that the combat effectiveness of the fleet is a key factor affecting Kutum.
In fact, including Kutum, several top war kings of the Silicon Charm Alliance know that if they can't defeat the Galactic Alliance on the space battlefield, no matter how big the victory is in the early stage of the war, they will not be able to sustain it for a long time, and they will definitely come to naught because they lose the final battle of the fleet.
In other words. As long as the fleet battle can be won, the Silicon Alliance will be able to win the final victory. It can even completely wipe out the Galactic Alliance.
The question is, how can you win the decisive battle of the fleet?
You must know that on the battlefield where thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of warships are dueling, no matter how powerful an existence is, even if it is an existence at the level of the Emperor of War, it is not worth mentioning. Arguably. The decisive battle of the fleet is based on the strength of the fleet, and the strength of the fleet is determined by the comprehensive strength, including technology. While the Silicon Alliance has a decisive advantage in some areas, it has little advantage in the all-important areas of technology.
Obviously, it is almost impossible to catch up with the Galactic Alliance in the field of technology.
It's not that Kutum doesn't have confidence. Rather, the nature of the two types of life forms determines that it is difficult for silicon-based life to surpass carbon-based life in intelligence.
Of course, silicon-based life is not without its advantages.
Comparatively speaking, silicon-based life is more vigorous, easier to organize and command, and has a much stronger ability to coordinate operations.
Since it can't make up for the short version in technology, the top war kings, including Kutum, can only find ways to find ways in areas of strength.
If you can't beat it alone, then fight for the combat effectiveness of the group.
Obviously, this is where the Silicon Alliance comes in.
Not to mention anything else, the Silicon Battleship is originally a Silicon Beast, which is cultivated, not built, so the production of the Silicon Battleship is faster and the cost is lower. If necessary, even use captured planets to train thousands of warships at the same time. The solution is simple, put the substrate, that is, the larvae of the silicon beast, into the crust of the planet, and let it use the heat inside the planet to grow. During this period, you only need to control the growth method and growth speed, and it will not be long before you can become a huge battleship. The warships of the Galactic Alliance are built from a variety of materials, which not only consumes more resources, but also takes a long time to build.
Quantity has always been the advantage of the Silicon Alliance.
Kutum was able to mobilize thousands of capital ships at the beginning of the war, but he was only a top-level war king, and his status, ability, and influence were not enough to compete with the Star Soul Empress, while the Star Weaver only mobilized a thousand capital ships at the beginning of the war, and the number gap between the two sides could be seen.
However, numerical superiority alone does not bring victory.
Quite simply, no matter how many warships there are, if you can't coordinate your operations and give full play to your numerical superiority, you will definitely not be able to defeat a strong opponent.
If you want to give full play to the advantages in numbers, synergy is the key.
In fact, this is the only way to do it.
After the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, Kutum and other top warriors summed up the crushing defeats they suffered and came to many conclusions, which can also be said to be lessons learned. Among them, the most critical point is that after the Galactic Alliance launched a counterattack, the Silicon Charm Alliance is still scattered, not to mention the cooperation of the War Kings, even in the decisive battle of the fleet, there is rarely effective cooperation. As a result, while still having the advantage of troops, the Silicon Alliance suffered the heaviest and most serious defeat in its history. Because of the loss of the ability to fight in space, even if a large number of legions were formed, there was no way to turn the tide of the war, and finally had to sign an armistice with the Galactic Alliance.
In order to defeat the main fleet of the Galactic Alliance, in the following thousand years, all the top war kings, including Kutum, tried their courage and thought of many ways. However, there is only one effective method, that is, to give full play to the superiority in the number of warships and improve the combat effectiveness of the fleet through coordination, so as to achieve the goal of deciding the situation and defeating the enemy in one fell swoop.
Of course, Kutum and other top war kings not only thought of countermeasures, but also found effective methods.
That is, to use some method to concentrate the attack power of all the capital ships and launch an attack that is enough to destroy one main fleet at a time.
Just one attack can determine the outcome of the decisive battle of the fleet.
It can be said that this is the hope of the Silicon Alliance and Kutum's secret weapon.
Theoretically, it is possible to make an attack by a combination of numerous capital ships. It's just that when it comes to specific operations, it has to be determined by the strength of the warship in charge of the combination. This time, it was Kutum's flagship and the most powerful warship in the fleet that was in charge of the alliance. There are only 3,000 capital ships in the fleet, and Kutum's flagship can unite up to 10,000 capital ships, so it's not a big problem.
All Kutum needs is time.
In this attack, all the warships in charge of the joint attack need to be ready to be prepared, and then at the same time, the warships in charge of the joint attack will be guided to attack the enemy's fleet. Determining this point in time, in addition to the battleship responsible for guidance, there is also the synchronization ratio of other battleships. If the synchronization ratio is not enough, even if only a few ships fail to synchronize, the attack will be affected or even completely defeated.
Although in theory, Kutum can control tens of thousands of capital ships to launch attacks at the same time, it is obviously much more difficult to operate in actual combat. The key is not Kutum's control, but whether other warships can be prepared in time, and Kutum obviously cannot directly control three thousand capital ships.
Time passed minute by minute, the battle ahead was still going on, but Kutum was a little anxious.
The synchronization rate has been less than ninety percent, and according to Kutum's calculations, in order to defeat the Weaver fleet in one fell swoop, the synchronization rate needs to be at least ninety-five percent. Launching an attack with a synchronization rate of less than 90% will not only fail to defeat the powerful Weaver fleet, but will also consume too much energy in the attack, making it difficult to replenish in time, causing the entire fleet to lose its combat effectiveness and fall into a situation of being beaten. Even if only a handful of Weaver capital ships are not destroyed, it will be enough to achieve a decisive victory before the Silicon Charm fleet is back to combat effectiveness. At that time, even if Kutum can escape, he will lose his entire fleet, and thus lose the capital to win this war.
There is only one chance, and it is either a win or a defeat, Kutum does not dare to mess around.
The problem is that the Weaver fleet can't stand still forever and continue to advance after defeating the forward fleet sent out by Kutum.
When the time comes, Kutum will simply have no choice.
In a conventional way of fighting, the three thousand capital ships in Kutum's hands may not be the opponent of the one thousand Weaver capital ships.
Obviously, Kutum doesn't want to lose and can't afford to lose.
As the forward fleet began to retreat, more and more medium warships were destroyed as they retreated, and Kutum knew that a decision had to be made.
Even if an attack is launched at a synchronization rate of less than ninety percent, it is tantamount to gambling, but if it drags on, there will be no chance to gamble.
Besides, even if you retreat with the fleet now, the result will not be the same. It's not just the Gunn system that has been lost, but also the initiative on the battlefield. Kutum knows perfectly well that with the first retreat, there will be a second. Last time, the Silicon Charm army retreated all the way back to the Northern Alpha System.
Seeing that the forward fleet was routed, Kutum did not delay any longer.
Win or lose, in one fell swoop. (To be continued.) )
