General Xu is indeed sharp-eyed. Lin Xuan still commented lightly, and then said: "However, as far as I know, at present, Planet 4 is completely under the control of the Federation, and we can only barely maintain a phased fleet activity. No matter how you look at it, it is currently a planet of the Federation. If you look at it by this standard, then I think the Dumen system is more valuable. ”

The Metropolis system is the capital system of the Federation, and has developed two high-quality habitable stars, as well as four industrial and resource stars.

The young admiral was not angry at Lin Xuanshang's ridicule intentionally or unintentionally, but instead showed a charming smile and said, "Marshal Lin is right, so the current value of the N77 theater does not seem to be as great as we imagined. So far, judgment has been based on speculation, such as that the Federation must have committed a major military effort here. ”

Lin Xuanshang frowned slightly, but did not speak, and continued to listen. But he didn't say anything, and some people couldn't sit still. The old man beside Lin Xuanshang raised his eyebrows and said, "General Xu, this is inevitably biased. We've already invested half of our fleet, and we've been fighting for so long to get to where we're in, can't we just give up?"

The young admiral smiled slightly and said, "Although I, Xu Bingyan, am still young, I also have a bloody heart. The Federation's wolf ambition brazenly ambushed our fleet in the N77 star field and provoked a war. If we don't severely hurt them and completely drive them out of the N77 Star Field, how can we calm the vicious breath in the chests of hundreds of millions of people in the Dynasty? Of course, the battle must be fought, and it must be fought to the end, and in this regard, I resolutely support Marshal Xuanshang's decision. ”

Xu Bingyan's attitude was confusing, and Lin Xuanshang sat still, waiting for the following.

Xu Bingyan stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the table, and the star map in the center of the round table changed, and a galaxy was highlighted, and then it continued to enlarge.

"This is the Takefu 3 system, which is currently in the Federation's exploration program. The Federation has established research bases on several planets here, and has stationed a legion and a mobile base. In my opinion, this should be an excellent target for the next blow to the Federation. ”

Everyone called up the information of the Takeo 3 galaxy and read it carefully. After a few minutes of silence, an old marshal first asked: "I don't see too many valuable resources in this galaxy, and I don't have a single habitable star, and the Federation's early investment is not large. So why do you think attacking this place would deal a heavy blow to the Federation?"

Xu Bingyan calmly took out a piece of data and entered it into the main brain, and a zigzag blue line appeared on the star map, one end was in the Wufu 3 constellation, and the other end was deep into the hinterland of the Federation.

"This is the value of Takeo 3. ”

The old marshal's eyes flashed, and he said, "This is a space passage?"

"Yes, a natural spatial passage that extends 135 light-years deep into the heart of the Federation!"

There was a small commotion in the conference hall. Everyone present was a big man guarding one side, and they couldn't hold back their surprise.

After the restlessness stopped, Xu Bingyan said: "As you can see, this passage is a sharp weapon for attacking the Federation, through it, our fleet can go straight into the fragile hinterland of the Federation, and then attack the surrounding area from there. Even if we don't attack, the Federation will have to deploy heavy troops at the exit of the passage, and the defense of the surrounding star fields will be greatly improved. In this way, it will be possible to contain a large number of mobile forces of the Federation. This end of the passage is close to our border starfield, so there is no threat to our hinterland. On the other side is the territory of the Community. Therefore, as long as we take this place, we will be able to contain the strength of the three fleets of the Federation with one fleet for a long time. ”

The discussion began, and after a few moments someone said, "This is quite a significant strategic advantage, and I agree." ”

Several other marshals and the top commander of the theater also agreed after asking a few details. The number of people agreeing is growing, and soon the two-thirds key point is crossed.

Xu Bingyan was not surprised by this, and said, "The Wufu 3 galaxy is the closest to my station, so I have drawn up an attack plan for everyone to take a look at." ”

Xu Bingyan was obviously fully prepared, this battle plan was detailed and perfect, and multiple uncontrollable factors had been taken into account. The plan is to mobilize the forces of the two fleets to launch an attack with absolute superiority, and encircle and annihilate the Federation garrison legion and all garrisons in the system in one fell swoop. Then attack the surrounding star fields before the Federation can react, so as to contain and mobilize the Federation's forces, and buy time to establish a defense system in the Wufu 3 system.

The plan looked like it had a good chance of success, as the Federation didn't have many garrisons in that area, and it only took a single thunderbolt attack to crush the defenders. The Federation is strictly secret about the space channel, if it weren't for a high-ranking official who defected and brought relevant information, Sheng Tang might not know anything about such a space channel until now.

Lin Xuanshang also did not put forward any reason to object. Even from his point of view, he couldn't find fault with the plan too much.

The value of a fixed space passage is far greater than that of a habitable star, and the strategic significance of the Wufu 3 theater is greater than that of the N77, and it is also more likely to be successful. Therefore, there was no objection to the planned need for additional fleets.

However, assembling two fleets is not as simple as it seems on paper, requiring the mobilization of a large number of troops, as well as a huge amount of supplies. All of a sudden, almost all of the war supplies and transportation capacity on this axis were swept away.

At this time, the problem arises, the N77 theater and the Wufu 3 theater belong to the same axis. N77 is located in the position of peripheral blood vessels, and the transportation of materials is already long and expensive, and a new war zone has suddenly been added to the upstream of this channel, and the demand for materials is several times that of the N77 war zone, which has long exceeded the transportation limit. If you want to alleviate it, you need to transfer transport ships from other star fields.

In the conference hall, all the marshals and bosses were discussing, but in fact, everyone used one or more large masterminds behind their backs to assist in decision-making, so the battle plan was quickly refined and improved.

In order to ensure the success of the operation, a high-speed mobile detachment was added to the two fleets, consisting of two high-speed capital ships. The strength of such a detachment is already close to that of a small half of the fleet. The addition of starships naturally increases the need for supplies and personnel, and it takes time to mobilize transport ships from other star fields, and time is the most critical factor. No one knows how long the information brought by the defecting high-ranking officials will be, and how long it will take for the Federation to react and increase the troops of Wufu 3.

Since it is too late to transfer to the distance, we can only find a way from the existing resources. Eventually, the amount of supplies available to the N77 field was cut in half, and it would last for a full month.

The meeting finally ended, and Lin Xuanshang returned to the conference room, and the surrounding walls looked particularly oppressive.
