Chapter 1146: Strategic Choice
After sending off Yu Minghui and the others, Queen Kangsheng gathered the main commanders of the fleet and legions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, almost all of these commanders are members of the royal family.
As with civilizations such as the Kunyang Clan, in times of peace, the military power of the Extreme Realm was in the hands of the royal family, and it was ensured by having a member of the royal family serve as the main military commander. Because they did not directly send troops to participate in the war, they were mobilized as auxiliary forces before, and the combat forces were still mainly standing and combined, so the commanders of the fleet and legion of the Extreme Realm were still mainly members of the royal family, and most of them were close relatives of Queen Kangsheng.
In fact, this is also the main thing that Queen Kangsheng can do after being able to sit on the throne, or to do it after securing the throne.
In the face of these royal family members who are in the same vein as herself, Queen Kangsheng did not explain much, but just made them feel their current strength. Because some of them were originally new elders, Queen Kangsheng didn't need to explain the importance and necessity of taking refuge in Yang Yi.
Of course, Queen Kangsheng summoned them together to determine the next combat action.
As Queen Kangsheng had expected, after she raised her question, the commanders of the one-sided town expressed their opinions, and they were clearly divided into two factions.
The faction dominated by the commander of the fleet advocates dealing with the Soldier Clan first, and the reason is very good, as long as the Soldier Clan is defeated, the Beast Clan can only fight on the mainland, and naturally there will be no threat. Even if the Berserker Beast Clan launched an attack at this time, it would only pose a certain threat to the defense line being constructed at most, and it would not be enough to pose a threat to the core area of the Extreme Realm Clan, at least the native star system, and it would not cause much damage. On the other hand, if you miss a precious opportunity because you send troops to attack the Berserk Clan, and give the Bersert Clan time to complete the mobilization of the fleet, then you will be attacked by the Berserk Clan's fleet before taking down the Berserk Clan. At that time, even if the fleet of the Troop Clan did not enter the Southern Region, it would cause huge trouble to the Extreme Realm Clan in the battle in the Central Region, and even become the main opponent of the Extreme Realm Clan. What's more, the Extreme Realm Clan has not yet completed the war mobilization, and it is impossible to do it immediately, so they do not have enough ability to engage two second-rate top civilizations at the same time. In other words, if you are forced to fight with the Soldier Domain Clan when attacking the Beast Clan, then the Extreme Realm Clan will fight on two fronts, resulting in unsolvable problems in all aspects, and even suffer a crushing defeat as a result. Only by attacking the Wardomain Clan first can this problem be effectively solved. According to the meaning of these commanders, when attacking the Soldier Clan, only a part of the warships need to be assigned to block the Beast Clan, and the threat of the Beast Clan can be eliminated, at least without worrying about fighting on two fronts.
Obviously, the other faction, mainly the commander of the legion, did not share this view.
According to the opinion of the commander of this faction, the comprehensive strength of the Berserk Beast Clan is above that of the Warlord Clan, and the Berserk Beast Clan rules many more star systems than the Warring Clan. If you attack the Warrior Clan first, even if the combat operation is very smooth, it will inevitably take enough time to achieve the final victory. The Berserkers will certainly launch an attack during this time, while strengthening the defenses of the homeland. Even if you don't have to think about the counterattack of the Beast Clan, you must think about dealing with the Beast Clan next. That is, as long as the Berserker has perfected its native defenses, it will have to pay a greater price when attacking the Berserker, and it will not even be able to defeat the Berserker without serious consequences. The point is that the will of the Berserker Clan to fight to the death far exceeds that of the Warlord Clan, and the combat effectiveness of the Berserk Clan Legion is also very strong. If they were forced to attack the star systems controlled by the Berserkers one after another, the price they would have to pay for the Extreme Realm was almost unimaginable.
In addition, the commander-in-chief pointed out a problem.
That is, if you deal with the Warrior Clan first, you must dedicate a part of the warships to block the Beast Clan to ensure that the Beast Clan will not use this opportunity to launch a counterattack.
So, how many warships do you need to divide to blockade the Berserkers?
Obviously, this is a question to which a precise answer cannot be given.
Only one thing is certain, and that is definitely not easy.
Very simply, among the Kunyang Clan, the Berserk Beast Clan, and the Military Domain Clan, the Berserk Beast Clan has the largest jurisdiction and the largest number of star systems. Back in the days when three first-class top-level civilizations ruled the Galactic Alliance, the territory of the Beast Race was only smaller than that of the Extreme Realm Race. After the collapse of the three first-class top civilizations, the sphere of influence of the Beast Clan expanded a hundredfold. The point is, the beasts need enough star systems. Don't forget, the Kunyang Clan has always adhered to the elite army policy, and the Soldier Domain Clan mainly relies on the fleet, and only the Beast Clan is dominated by the size of the legion. Whether it was for the expansion of the Beast Clan's legion or for more effective control of the captured star system, neither the Kunyang Clan nor the Bingyu Clan competed with the Beast Clan for their sphere of influence.
In the Center, one-third of the star system belongs to or is occupied by the Beasts' legions.
What's more, these galaxies are extremely scattered, scattered almost throughout the central region, rather than concentrated in one region.
In other words, if you want to completely block the beasts, you have to block the entire central region. If it is only to blockade the Beast Clan, and separate the Beast Clan from the Soldier Clan, then the warships that need to be used will even exceed the blockade of the central region. Obviously, this is an almost impossible task. Even if it is just to block the traditional sphere of influence of the Beast Race, that is, the star system that the Beast Clan controlled before the war, it will require the mobilization of tens of thousands of warships, and the control of some key star systems. In the case that the Extreme Realm Clan has not yet completed the war mobilization, the transfer of so many warships and the dispersion of some legions will inevitably have an impact on the combat operations of the Warrior Domain Clan.
The problem is that the commanders who advocate attacking the beasts first cannot answer another question.
That is, how long will it take to defeat the Beasts?
Obviously, this is an unavoidable question that must be answered clearly.
The ideal result is naturally a quick victory, defeating the Beast Clan as quickly as possible, forcing the Beast Clan to surrender, and avoiding falling into a long-delayed battle to the death. It's just that with the current strength of the Extreme Realm Clan, especially the mobilized legions, it is impossible to achieve a quick victory. If it enters a stalemate phase, then the Extreme Realm Clan will not only need to invest more troops, but will also inevitably have problems in other directions. In fact, as long as it drags on for a while, the Warring Clan will be given the opportunity to attack, resulting in the Extreme Realm Clan fighting on two fronts. Even if the Extreme Realm Clan can complete the all-out war mobilization before then, it will have to pay a greater price to achieve victory.
As a matter of fact, avoiding a two-front battle is the starting point of the commanders of both factions, and it is also an issue that cannot be bypassed by the commanders of both factions.
When both sides refused to budge, some commanders proposed that they should negotiate with the Human Federation and rely on the support of the Human Federation. To put it simply, it is to let the Human Federation launch a counterattack at the same time, drag the Beast Clan or the Military Domain Clan on the battle line, and create an ideal environment for the Extreme Realm Clan to attack. According to the analysis of these commanders, as long as the Human Federation launches a counterattack at the right time, it can effectively contain the main forces deployed by the Beast Clan and the Soldier Domain Clan on the front line. If the Extreme Realm Clan launches a full-scale attack at the same time, then the probability of quickly taking down the Beast Clan can be greatly increased. After there is no threat from the Berserker Clan, it will not be a problem to deal with the Soldier Clan at all, and it is even certain that the Soldier Clan will surrender.
This proposal is indeed very valuable, but Queen Kangsheng's reply is also very clear, the human legion will definitely launch a counterattack in the near future, and it is to assist the Polar Realm clan to launch an attack, but don't get too much hope for the human legion's counterattack, that is, the human federation has already reached its limit, and there is simply not enough troops to launch a counterattack, so the human legion's counterattack can only have some restrictions on the beast clan and the military domain clan at most. When the Extreme Realm Clan launches an attack, that is, after the battle situation is clear, the counterattack and containment effect of the Human Legion will be greatly reduced. Because the Human Federation does not have enough warships, even if they go all out, they may not be able to stop the Beast Clan and the Soldier Clan from withdrawing from the front line.
To put it simply, the counterattack of the human legion can play a role, but it is of little significance.
In fact, the Human Federation also hopes that the Extreme Realm Clan will launch an attack as soon as possible, so as to alleviate the pressure on the battle front and prevent the Beast Clan and the Soldier Clan from making a desperate bet. You must know that if the Beast Clan and the Soldier Clan misjudge the situation, it is very likely that they will launch a full-scale attack on the Human Federation, striving to destroy the Human Federation before the Extreme Realm Clan launches an attack, so that they can concentrate their forces against the more powerful Extreme Realm Clan.
Although in terms of strength, the Human Federation and the Extreme Realm Race will definitely be able to achieve the final victory, but in the case that the Human Federation has reached its limit and the Extreme Realm Race has not yet prepared for war, this kind of overall strength advantage is difficult, at least not immediately.
In fact, this is also the main problem faced by the Polar Clan.
In the case of the dispute between the commanders of the two factions, Queen Kangsheng did not make a rash decision. Although she is the supreme commander of the Extreme Realm Clan, she has never been on the battlefield, nor has she participated in a battle in the real sense, so she has no experience at all, let alone commanding the Extreme Realm Clan.
As a result, the issue was put on hold.
According to Queen Kangsheng's arrangement, the first task of the Arctic fleet and legion is to improve the forward defense line and ensure that the southern region can be maintained at all times.
Of course, this is also the same as adapting to change.
In the words of Queen Kangsheng, the Arctic need time to mobilize before the battle, mobilizing fleets and legions. Although the Berserker Clan and the Soldier Clan will use this time to complete the battle preparations, the Extreme Realm Clan has the advantage of strength, so they can adopt a strategy of preemptive strike.
To put it simply, it is to wait for the Beast Clan and the Soldier Domain Clan to attack, and then make a decision based on the actual situation.
Obviously, there is no way to do this, and the commanders of both factions believe that they should not miss the opportunity to attack first, and at least they should invest a certain amount of troops to test the reality of the Beast Clan and the Soldier Domain Clan, and make a decision after obtaining more information.
It's just that these commanders obviously don't know that Queen Kangsheng has another plan.
This is to fight for the surrender of the Beast Clan and the Warring Clan.
In fact, this is also the task that Yang Yi arranged for Queen Kangsheng, that is, after stabilizing the situation, try to persuade the rulers of the Beast Clan and the Bingyu Clan to let them recognize the situation. If it succeeds, then it will be possible to achieve an immediate truce and minimize war losses.
There is little hope, but it is worth the effort.
