Chapter 46: The Pre-War Conference
Before the words fell, a man dressed as an officer hurriedly came to Wang Zhengfeng's side and whispered a few words, his expression was very serious.
Qi Yiming has a hunch that he may not be able to leave today.
Sure enough, Wang Zhengfeng said to Qi Yiming in an anxious tone: "Mr. Qi, the Wanluo Empire has invaded. ”
As soon as he took the throne, he was invaded by foreign enemies, which was a very big blow to Wang Zhengfeng.
In fact, Qi Yiming really wanted to leave it alone, anyway, he had already got enough supplies and fulfilled his original promise to the Wang family.
But the problem is that the invasion of the Federation blocked the only exit from the Xuanwu Star Domain, forcing Qi Yiming to participate in this war.
The course of the war was going very fast, and the fleet of the Xuanwu Federation was no match for the Imperial fleet with a complete industrial system.
The losses were unusually heavy.
And this time, the Federation seems to have gotten the news about Qi Yiming and sent two full fleets led by cruisers.
On the Imperial side, a full fleet of cruisers, consisting of 5 cruisers, 15 destroyers, 25 frigates, and a number of transports.
This gave Qi Yiming a headache.
The Xuanwu Federation has just been integrated, and the warships are being reorganized.
The combat capability of the fleet is not very strong.
In addition, it is not advantageous in terms of numbers.
Wang Zhengfeng scraped together a fleet of semi-cruisers, and the warships at all levels were still monkey versions.
The border garrison fleet was losing and retreating, causing a trace of instability within the newly established Xuanwu Federation.
Each family has a different mind.
Wang Zhengfeng and Zheng Hu came to Qi Yiming at the same time.
"The current situation is very unfavorable to us......" Qi Yiming looked at the holographic map of the conference room, and groped his chin with his right hand.
"There seem to be some small actions in each family...... "Zheng Hu did not shy away from this topic.
"When the federation was first established, there was not enough centripetal force, and it was normal for instability to occur, and any problem would be solved if we won a battle." Qi Yiming saw it very thoroughly.
"The problem is that we don't have the ability to repel the Empire's fleet!" Wang Zhengfeng interjected.
Wang Zhengfeng is a good hand at internal affairs, but he is too far behind Zheng Hu militarily, so he can only stand aside and stare dryly.
"The Redemption will follow the full fleet, while the Snow Peak will lead another undergrown fleet around the flanks of the battlefield and cut off their supply lines first." Qi Yiming quickly drew two lines of attack on the map.
Zheng Hu nodded in agreement: "Take the jumping bridge on the border, first, to cut off the other party's supply line, and second, to block the other party's reinforcements." ”
"Only one thing, with the current strength of the Xuanwu Federation, how long will it take to establish a fixed defense line and hold the jumping bridge?" This is Qi Yiming's greatest concern.
This Wang Zhengfeng knows best: "Three days at most...... I was able to transport some of the stocked railguns to the vicinity of the jump bridge and assemble them directly. ”
After all, the Xuanwu Star Domain is now nominally a whole, although it has not made much progress in terms of combat effectiveness, but it has made long-term progress in terms of project progress, after all, there are more people......
"Zheng Hu, the full fleet is led by you. The Redemption can provide you with quite strong support......" Qi Yiming glanced at Zheng Hu and then said, "Don't fight with the other party before you join me, find a way to take them around in circles in the Xuanwu Star Domain." ”
Qi Yiming was very worried that Zheng Hu would lead the fleet to fight the enemy to the death, so he specially instructed him.
Zheng Hu is not a fool either, how can he go up and fight the enemy when his strength is obviously not superior.
"That's going to sacrifice a lot of people on habitable planets......" Wang Zhengfeng was very distressed.
"The necessary sacrifice must be accepted, otherwise the Xuanwu Federation will not exist for long......" Qi Yiming patted Wang Zhengfeng on the shoulder.
The three of them made a simple battle plan, and Wang Zhengfeng hurriedly organized the first high-level meeting of the Federation.
Hearing such a negative battle plan, in the war against the Wang family before the establishment of the Xuanwu Federation, Liu Jun, who survived, was the first to object.
He felt that the battle plan was very inappropriate.
"Mr. Qi's combat power is obvious to all of us, since Mr. Qi is here, why do you have to make such a complicated battle plan, just let Mr. Qi go up and crush it."
At first glance, this is the master who has not been beaten by society, or he is simply a frog at the bottom of a well.
"Could it be that Mr. Qi can easily suppress us, and if you turn around, you can't suppress the Imperial Fleet?"
"I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about your combat power?" Qi Yiming looked at Liu Jun, who was slightly excited, "Don't you know that your warships are all monkey warships?" ”
"Monkey version?" Obviously, Liu Jun has heard of this term for the first time.
Zheng Hu explained on the side: "What Mr. Qi means is that although our warships are of the same level as the Imperial Fleet, they are weaker than the Imperial Fleet in terms of protection and firepower. ”
"How so?" Liu Jun's face was full of incredulity.
"There's no way, we don't have a complete industrial system, we can only buy a monkey version of the battleship!" Wang Zhengfeng shrugged helplessly.
It seems that Wang Zhengfeng knows these very well.
"Then we might as well just surrender......" Liu Jun went straight to the extreme.
"The surrender is not enough, although it is a monkey version of the battleship, but the gap is not big." Zheng Hu glanced at Qi Yiming and cursed the monster secretly, and then explained: "The main reason why Mr. Qi suppressed us is that there seems to be a generation gap between his warships and ours. ”
Qi Yiming nodded, he didn't want to talk too much about the combat power of the Snow Peak and the Redemption, and interrupted Zheng Hu's next words.
"Fighting a positional battle with the other party head-on, the Xuanwu Federation will of course suffer." Qi Yiming took a sip of water and then said, "But as long as the command is right, it is not impossible to drag the other party to death." ”
At this time, Qi Yiming was very helpless, he knew that in the final battle, the Snow Peak and the Redemption had to be combined in front of everyone.
Temporarily separating the two battleships is because Qi Yiming doesn't want to expose his strength too much.
He knew very well that if the two warships were combined, whether from the defensive end or the offensive end, against the full fleet of the Empire alone, the Snow Peak would definitely not be able to suffer, but it would probably not be able to defeat the Imperial fleet.
At this time, the combat power of the Xuanwu Federation is crucial.
"I know that everyone has a careful mind in private." Qi Yiming directly put this matter on the table, "The Xuanwu Federation has just been established, and I understand your feelings. But for the sake of your family, please hold on for at least one week, and if the war is not over in a week, I will not stop you from doing whatever you want. ”
This was Qi Yiming's last guarantee to Wang Zhengfeng in private.
Moreover, the Xuanwu Federation was successfully established, and he Qi Yiming also spent a lot of thought, and Qi Yiming didn't want to watch the situation that he had fought so hard to be destroyed like this.
At first glance, when he heard Qi Yiming's straightforward words, there was a burst of embarrassment on the faces of the representatives of each family, not enough that they were all human spirits, but they adjusted their facial expressions in an instant.
"Mr. Qi has said so, I should come down first on behalf of our Liu family." Liu Jun was refreshing this time, and he was the first to stand up and support Qi Yiming.
The other participants also nodded in agreement when they saw Liu Jun's performance.
In fact, they didn't agree to this matter on Qi Yiming's face, the most important thing was the interests of each family.
Keeping the Xuanwu Federation is a choice that maximizes their interests, and they will choose to surrender to the empire when they are forced to do so.
