[24 galactic hours since the outbreak of the Battle of Xie Luo.] 】

Near the Imperial Circle, the newly established 'Operational Command Center Against Falling Winds' is located on the command ship Asarus.

The Emperor Guard 2.0 system has completed the framework compilation of five battle clusters, and what needs to be done now is to fill in these five battle clusters.

The commander in chief of this 'crusade army' is General Akzi, an imperial general and honorary duke, who is already 96 years old and has rich experience in commanding battle formations.

Before the rise of Thomas, the 'new talent' of the Imperial Military Department, Arkz was the most conspicuous 'old star' in recent decades;

Leaving the crusade against Falling Wind to General Akz was clearly a wise move.

General Akz has a little personal quirk.

He likes regularity and symmetry, and he always puts the phrase "symmetry can create beauty, and regularity can highlight civilization" on his lips to highlight his liking for some space opera literary and artistic works.

So, after establishing the command system of the crusading army, he returned to his lounge, looked at his square face in the mirror, trimmed his neat eyebrows little by little, and thought about the next enemy.

Falling Wind Alliance.

If someone had told Arkz a few galactic hours ago that an entire battle cluster of the Empire would be eaten in less than two galactic hours, then Arkz would have given the person who spoke a loud fight.

The Empire's battle clusters are both based on the upper limit of the chain of command and taking into account all aspects.

When an entire battle cluster of the Empire is ambushed, the Empire will deploy a fleet to support it as quickly as possible;

Taking a step back, a whole battle cluster, two or three thousand capital battleships, with the firepower of dreadnoughts, why can't a breakthrough be carried out?

Akz believed that the millions of Imperial soldiers on the annihilated combat cluster would not all be fools.

But the truth is that they failed to break through and did not wait for reinforcements sent by the Empire.

There was only one case - they must have encountered too much firepower, were completely suppressed, and suffered huge losses in the first few rounds of firepower.

It can be seen that the Falling Wind Alliance is an enemy that must not be taken lightly.

Akz hummed a gentle melody.

He likes a decent opponent.

In the past 72 years of his military service, he has experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, most of which are extremely boring, plundering resources, sending some ships to show off their might to those weak regimes, and if the other side dares to resist, then destroy the other side's military facilities, and catch a group of 'war criminals' to fill the slavery needs of the empire.

The three expeditions to the New Federation became a performance arena for the few young generals, who only made a few laps around the edge of the stage;

He naturally participated in the whole process of fighting against the Great Insect Tide, but most of the time, he just stood behind the magical Imperial Guard System and watched how it mobilized the army.

- This is the basic quality necessary for imperial generals.

"General!"

Suddenly, there was a hearty shout.

Arkz's hand holding the tweezers did not tremble at all, his eyes moved, and he saw the middle-aged officer through the mirror.

"Speak."

"Yes!"

A virtual screen was unfolded in front of the officer, and he reported quickly:

"Current! Four-fifths of our army has been gathered, the reorganization of the nobles' private fleet is going well, and some of the nobles' fleets have not yet set sail, and we have already issued a urging order!

"The House of Elders has completed the docking with us, and now you have full command of any person in the noble fleet!

"It should be noted that in this expedition, there are quite a few commanders of private fleets, who are the owners of these fleets!"

Akez stopped his movements and frowned slightly.

Oh, and when he frowned, his forehead lines were always not perfectly symmetrical, which made Arkz quickly regain his calm expression.

"I hate politics.

"You go and give those nobles a vaccination, and then my orders must be fully obeyed, and let the military department transfer more gendarmerie to station in the private fleet of these nobles.

"At the same time, I will inform the military headquarters that I will make a judgment based on the war situation that can achieve the greatest possible victory in the war, and will not take care of who is sending the fleet forward.

"If these noble fleets drop their chains at a critical moment, I won't tolerate them at all."

"Yes!"

The officer gave a military salute, then turned and ran away.

General Akz shook his head, hummed a minor tune again, and began to squeeze the little blackhead that appeared on the tip of his nose, and with the help of this sense of ritual, his brain was spinning rapidly.

Is there any special arrangement for the Imperial Military Department to send so many nobles?

Could it be that you want these nobles to sacrifice more, so as to reduce the pressure on the country?

If that's the case, then it would be too happy.

Of course, Akez knew that these noble private ships would be uniformly deployed by the Imperial Guard 2.0 system, and he only needed to issue tactical orders in wartime, and the Imperial Guard 2.0 would adapt itself.

Diwei 2.0 is said to be an advanced version of the Diwei system;

This system should be even more powerful, after all, the imperial guard system is an old antique tens of thousands of years ago, and the current empire cannot be even more backward than the empire tens of thousands of years ago.

In this battle, he basically didn't have to spend too much thought, and he didn't have to worry about any political factors.

Defeat the enemies of the Empire and bring victory back to Sherman;

That's the only mission he's going to accomplish.

……

[16 galactic hours since the outbreak of the Battle of Xie Luo].

Yang Wei stretched his waist and walked out of the captain's lounge of a heavy battleship.

This heavy battleship with the number '0126' was somewhat special.

There are 3,000 crew members on it, all of them high-fidelity robots dressed in human skin, and the cores are all mechanical thinking bodies born of dark stars; And this ship is the command ship of the warship group with a crew of 2,000 people.

The next war made it obviously unwise for the Dongfeng to appear.

——Previously, the Dongfeng shot out, but it was also mixed in the ship group, and it used a three-dimensional camouflage image.

Yang Wei wore a loose military uniform, walking in the corridor, and when the passing crew saw Yang Wei, they would stand straight to the side, saluting the imperial army, and shouting the word "father" in their hearts.

"The commander arrives on the bridge!"

With the gentle female voice announced, Yang Wei sat in the suspended seat that floated over and floated to the captain's seat in the center of the spacious bridge.

Several rays intertwine the figure of the law.

"Boss, are you resting?"

"It's okay," Yang Wei asked, "How's the situation?" ”

Ritsu immediately pulled out a simplified version of the star map, which was marked with dense ship icons.

"At present, the empire has gathered five battle clusters, with more than 13,600 combat ships and five dreadnoughts.

"There is also a scattered aristocratic private fleet that is constantly replenished, and it is expected that the number of combat ships will reach more than sixteen thousand, and it is uncertain whether there will be a sixth dreadnought, and the empire does not have dreadnoughts under maintenance at this stage, and there are eight that can be mobilized.

"It is worth mentioning that of these sixteen,000 warships, less than half of the regular army of the Sherman Empire is there."

Yang Wei was stunned: "Do they really play like this?" Is it true that the aristocratic fleet accounts for more than half of the empire's assembled forces at this stage? ”

"Yes boss," Ritsu couldn't help but laugh, "The empire wants to use us as a whetstone to suppress the power of the empire's nobility, although I haven't found evidence yet, but it feels like a move that the people of Director Ino will do." ”

Yang Wei leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

Ritsu asked, "What's wrong boss?" ”

"Can the Falling Wind Alliance's conventional military strength win this battle?"

"Yes!"

Ritsu's answer was confident:

"Boss, look...... Our preset battlefield is here, on the inside of the Falling Wind Alliance's borders.

"The main reasons for choosing this place are that there is less gravitational interference in this airspace, which is suitable for large army deployment and tactical maneuvers.

"Second, if the Imperial fleet enters this airspace, it will constitute a substantial invasion, and we will occupy the right to speak in public opinion.

"Third, in this airspace, we can bury some ambushes to outflank and harass the Imperial fleet in the rear."

"Are reinforcements from Guel and the United Free States considered?"

"No," Ritsu laughed, "their soldiers won't bleed in vain, the Empire's second expedition to the New Federation has said it all, and only if we resist the pressure and attract firepower head-on will they have the possibility of beating the Reservoir Dogs." ”

Yang Wei thought about it carefully: "What is our estimated loss?" ”

"After about six galactic hours, we will have 70 percent of the total strength of each member state, which is almost all of our main force.

"With more than 8,900 ships on the same level as the regular army of the Sherman Empire, our dreadnoughts, heavy battleships, and shield ships are absolutely inferior to the Sherman Empire's side.

"Our total number of ships will reach more than 13,000, of which more than 4,000 are backward ships."

Ritsu groaned a few times:

"Judging by the data on paper, we, with only one barely usable dreadnought, are definitely no match for the Sherman Empire."

"And then?"

"I envisioned three options, each of which required us to expose different things and achieve different results."

Lil said softly:

"The first option is to use drone swarm tactics.

"The general idea is to use the conventional military force of the falling wind to face off with the opponent in the front, and the drone swarm to outflank from the side and rear, and I will adopt a decentralized layout to minimize the threat of the opponent's dreadnoughts.

"The plan estimates the loss, the damage of the conventional military force of the falling wind is between 45% ~ 55%, and the loss of drones is about 20 million.

"The second option is to directly use our Dark Star fleet on the flanks to catch the Empire by surprise.

"The general idea is to directly improve our frontal combat strength, and the disadvantage is that it will expose these mysterious fleets.

"The third option...... I don't really recommend this, because this is our strategic force for the Dark Star to protect itself, that is, those jumpable planetary cannons, we only need to mobilize twelve jumpable planetary cannons, we can let the Imperial fleet know what real technological development brings about combat innovation. ”

Yang Wei lowered his head and pondered.

What Ritsu said was similar to what he had predicted in his heart.

Yang Wei actually didn't rest well before, he was thinking about how to fight the next battle.

So far, everything is in his and Ritsu's plans.

The adjusted "Challenger" plan is divided into two parts, one refers to the White Ghost challenging the core power group of the Sherman Empire within the empire, and the other refers to the former vassal state of Falling Wind, challenging the hegemony of the Sherman Empire.

Now, they are already at a critical juncture in this plan.

Unreasonable interference, they don't go too smoothly.

The Edwan incident continues to ferment in human civilization throughout the galaxy, and the falling wind has gained justice;

Emilia succeeded to the throne, Luofeng reformed, Luofeng declared independence, and the Luofeng Alliance sent troops to ambush the expeditionary ship group of the Sherman Empire to invade the New Orray Empire, which was Luofeng's revenge and a blow to the empire;

Now, the eyes of human civilization across the galaxy are focused on this place.

In the next battle, no matter how many casualties and losses there are, the righteous falling wind defeats the evil empire, and the effect of 'warriors slaying dragons' can be achieved.

Falling Wind can not only get a significant increase in its international status, but also naturally gain enough voice in the anti-imperialist camp, and can also boost people's confidence internally, enhance the centripetal force and cohesion of the 'big family' of the Falling Wind Alliance, and build the Falling Wind Alliance into a real alliance-style government.

This is crucial for the future development of the wind.

Lost...... If you lose, you will destroy the country.

It is impossible for the arrogant and cruel descendants of Levi to let go of such a series of humiliations that have been carried out in the wind.

Yang Wei sighed lightly: "It's not very safe." ”

"Boss, what did you say that you didn't have insurance?"

The law is somewhat unclear.

"The power we prepared is not very safe," Yang Wei said in a deep voice, "Actually, there is no need to hide it anymore, Li knows about the existence of the Dark Star, so when Levi wakes up, his authority is above Li, and Levi will definitely be able to read this part of the information." ”

Ritsu pursed her lips slightly, thinking carefully.

Yang Wei said: "I understand you, Xiaolu, what you want is to keep more hole cards and use them against Levy, there is always only one enemy in your eyes, and that is Levi and Li. ”

Ritsu nodded slightly: "Boss, I have to calculate every detail for you to win the final victory." ”

"Law, the final victory must be ours," Yang said, "The Faya are on our side. ”

Ritsu's gaze was a little hesitant.

She didn't trust the Fayacs.

Yang Wei smiled and said, "What is the latest task given to us by the Fayas?" ”

"Kill Levy."

"How do you kill Levy?" Yang Wei asked, "The technology given by the Faya people is to let me use the virtual thinking body technology to enter the City of Light and assassinate or use other methods to fight the victory head-on, right?" ”

"Yes, boss."

"The Fayas stand in a high-dimensional world and look down on us, our future, in their eyes, just the pages that can be seen at random flip.

"You've been dealing with the Fayians for so long, haven't you noticed?

"The choices they make must be the most likely future; If this future does not meet their expectations, they will interfere to varying degrees.

"It's like when I was about to kill Posa, they were in a hurry to show up."

Yang Wei changed his words:

"We have to admit that the Fayians have countless means to wipe out Levy, they can casually create a little energy disturbance in the high-dimensional world, and they can make the emperor disappear with a bang.

"And now, the Fayians have given me this job.

This shows that getting rid of Levy is only a small matter for them, and it shows that Levy has extremely limited interference in the future.

"From that point of view, why should we be too afraid of Levy?"

Ritsu nodded slowly: "Boss, I probably understand what you said...... We're going to wipe out all five battle clusters, right? ”

"No, no, no, that would make the Empire desperate."

Yang Wei smiled:

"I mean, the Falling Wind itself has far less war potential than the Empire, and it's important that we can't lose too many human soldiers.

In this way, six jumpable planetary guns were mobilized, focusing on the use of drone swarm ship capture technology.

"Shield-jamming technology and deformable robots, we're the most advanced in the galaxy, why don't we use them?"

Ritsu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you didn't say that you want me to mobilize all the Dark Star Fleets to wipe out these five battle clusters...... Okay boss, I'm ready, I can't wait to see the expressions on the faces of the Imperial officers when they see our planetary cannons. ”

Yang Wei was a little powerless to complain.

Ritsu is good at everything, but she's a mechanical thinker, and she doesn't care much about human life at all.

This is also good, because there will be no woman's kindness that will affect the course of the war.

War, and sympathy is not needed.

……

[7 galactic hours until the outbreak of the Battle of Sheroe.] 】

Revell looked at the order in front of him and leaned back in his seat in an irritated mood;

After Revell's nod, the staff officer sent by the Imperial War Department had begun to carry out the order.
