Chapter 420: A New Hope
On the holographic star map of the mobile base Apple, an unfamiliar fleet suddenly appears. The fleet used less common jump points, which immediately made the monitors nervous.
A moment later, information about that fleet began to appear on the star map, and the intelligence officer who monitored it was stunned, confirmed it again and again, and immediately stood up and shouted: "The marshal is here!"
The intelligence hall was silent for a moment, and then the cheers were like thunder! Everyone was overwhelmed by the battle situation, and Lin Xuanshang's arrival was undoubtedly a shot in the arm, allowing everyone to see new hope.
The news instantly spread throughout the entire base, and also spread to the various fleets fighting outside, and the morale was greatly boosted, and many local battles were reversed in one fell swoop.
Lin Xuanshang's ship is a high-speed command ship, and other than that, there is only a high-speed cruiser escort. Three starships are a good maneuver, but they are also limited.
This small fleet flew towards the mobile base, and after half a day's effort, Lin Xuanshang walked out of the command ship. The square in front of the berth was already crowded with officers and soldiers who had received the news. As soon as Lin Xuanshang walked out of the hatch, he ushered in thunderous cheers.
The sound wave after wave, with the momentum of resounding through the heavens and the earth, seems to never stop. Lin Xuanshang waved his hand, and quickly walked through the square with his entourage, got into the flying car, and headed to the headquarters.
The passage had long been emptied, and the convoy came to command at approximately full speed. After getting out of the car this time, the gentle smile on Lin Xuanshang's face disappeared completely, replaced by an awe-inspiring look, and strode into the command hall. The group quickly crossed the passage and came to the operational command area on the top floor.
Lu Qiyun led a group of generals who were already waiting. Lin Xuanshang swept his eyes, unexpectedly didn't see Lin Xi, and asked, "Didn't Lieutenant Colonel Lin Xi come?"
Lu Qiyun said: "Lieutenant Colonel Lin received an emergency rescue mission and just set off in the morning. ”
"It's a coincidence. Lin Xuanshang showed a hint of imperceptible helplessness, then raised his voice slightly, and said, "Let's have a meeting!" Lao Lu, you first talk about the current battle situation. ”
Lu Qiyun stretched out his hand a little, and the holographic star map in the center began to change, he pointed to the rows of data and said: "As you can see, in the past ten days, the Federation's activity has nearly doubled, the number of small-scale tentative attacks and harassment has increased by 90%, and there have been four medium-scale battles, and the mobile base Fulan has been forced to retreat to the second line, and is currently preparing to return to the war zone." But for the next two weeks, we'll only be fighting from two mobile bases. ”
"How many bases does the enemy have?"
"There are already five known planetary bases, and there are four more. ”
Lin Xuanshang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "How many legions have arrived on the other side?"
"There are already 5 numbers that can be ascertained, although they are only one, but from the current statistics of military strength, it is equivalent to 3 full corps. ”
"How much strength does the Skyware Fleet have?"
"At present, the strength of the Skyfield Fleet is about two-thirds of our army. ”
Lin Xuanshang's eyebrows stretched slightly, and said, "The enemy is only twice as many as ours, and this battle can still be fought." ”
He unfolded the star map, clicked a few times in the Federally controlled area, and said: "The enemy has five mobile bases, and correspondingly many more supply lines than we do. In that case, give them some tasks. Reorganize two fast fleets and go behind enemy lines to attack their supply fleets. ”
Lu Qiyun was a little worried, and said, "Marshal, the forces we have in our hands are very insufficient, and I am afraid that we will not be able to draw enough starships." ”
"If you can't draw it, you have to draw it! Priority is given to ensuring the attack on the fleet. ”
"But in this case, our base guards will be insufficient. ”
"Let the base move, and don't be afraid of damage, the defense system of the base itself can also be used. Lin Xuanshang said decisively.
The generals had a gloomy face, but the marshal had already given the order, and it had to be carried out. Lin Xuanshang plans to use the mobile base as a defensive fulcrum, and his idea cannot be wrong, but the risk is also extremely high.
Seeing the expressions of the generals, Lin Xuanshang said: "As long as we attack the supply line, they will inevitably have to strengthen the escort force of the transport fleet. In this way, it is equivalent to reducing the pressure on the front line. But the people who attack the fleet have to be carefully chosen, Lao Lu, you will draw up a list later, and we will discuss it. ”
After arranging, Lin Xuanshang looked at the time and said, "Prepare a confidential conference room for me, and I want to have a meeting with the General Staff Headquarters." ”
Lu Qiyun immediately sent someone to arrange it, and after a while, everything was ready. Lin Xuanshang walked into a conference room with smooth walls and only one table and chairs, and sat down in the chair.
The lights dimmed and the walls around it faded into a huge conference room. The table in front of Lin Xuanshang became part of a large round conference table.
There were more than twenty seats at the conference table, but only a dozen or so people were seated. As soon as Lin Xuanshang appeared, an old man with gray hair next to him stretched out his hand, "Xuanshang, you're a little late." ”
"Just on the front line for combat deployment. ”
"How's the situation?"
"If you are not optimistic, the battle will be very difficult. That's why I'm here to help. ”
The old man became serious, "Even you find it difficult to fight, that is really not optimistic." ”
The two chatted for a while, and it was time for the meeting to officially begin. It was a regular meeting of the General Staff Headquarters, attended by the commanders of the major fleets and defensive theaters, and discussed the major military deployments of the entire dynasty.
At this moment, the war with the Federation is the top priority, and it is Lin Xuanshang who speaks first. After giving a brief account of the situation in the war zone, he went straight to the local area for reinforcements and supplies.
An old marshal said: "There is no problem with support, the key is how to support and how long." The N77 field is close to the Federation, and their transportation lines are much shorter than ours. And we only have four jump points to the N77 starfield, and three of them will be threatened by external threats. For the same supplies, we spend 4 times as much on transportation as the Federation. If such a battle is won, it is better to say, and if it drags on like this, we may not be able to drag it out of the Federation. ”
Lin Xuanshang cleared his throat and said, "Actually, this is the question of how much the N77 star field is worth. We know almost nothing about this field, and we have very little information. But there must be a reason why the Federation has been investing a lot of effort in exploration and development here, even at the cost of fighting us here. Personally, I think the N77 field is definitely valuable, we just don't know it at the moment. ”
At this time, a pleasant but somewhat soft voice sounded: "The N77 galaxy is naturally valuable, and the greatest value that can be seen is a habitable star with a perfect ecology." It's a pity that according to the laws of the dynasty, the ownership of that planet has already been attributed. ”
Lin Xuanshang looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw a young general with a handsome appearance like a woman.
