10. The Ninth Army (II)
"Total war?Your Excellency Herrell, do you mean all-out war?" "Yes, all-out war, what we have encountered is the enemy of our Angelic Holy Clan, both of us are destined to be immortal, we are only afraid that there is no room for relaxation, I believe that the other side also thinks the same way, otherwise, they will not be ready for war as soon as they know our existence." If I guessed correctly, the Haiguang River system is not the enemy's base camp, but they are the river system of the front line, and the enemy's base camp is still far away from the starry sky, and the reason why they chose to fight us in the Haiguang River system is that they do not have enough strength to fight our army, so their war in the Haiguang River system is just to drag us forward. ”
Hearing Herrell say this, everyone's hearts sank, this is indeed an obvious fact, the enemy, very mysterious, but they know nothing about the enemy, fighting against this enemy, it is indeed necessary to be prepared for all-out war.
All-out war, the thought of this name makes people's scalps tingle, this is definitely not what the Divine Light Clan wants, because it represents a terrible war, a war premised on destruction. A war in which there is no distinction between the front line and the rear, and any place in the territory of the Shenguang Clan can become a battlefield, but is the Shenguang Clan ready for a full-scale war?
The current territorial range of the Shenguang Clan is centered on the Shenguang River System, the river system they started from, and then it keeps expanding around, until now, their territorial range is centered on the Shenguang River System, with a radius of about 500 million light years, in such a large range, there are more than 3,800 river systems, and the number of various administrative stars and resource stars is not much less than that of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, it is definitely a huge and terrifying empire.
But the problem comes out, the Shenguang clan is very powerful, and the population is too large, that's not bad, but because of the qualifications of the race, not all of them have the strength to cultivate to the twelfth level or above, therefore, the Shenguang clan has expanded its troops to three hundred legions, which is already considered to have reached their limit, in the Shenguang clan, in addition to the members of the troops, there are still a group of strong people with more than twelve levels of strength, but the total number will not exceed the number of eight hundred legions, that is, no matter how much the Shenguang clan expands the conscription, even if it has more warships, the number of soldiers will not exceed eight hundred legions。
Eight hundred legions, that is already a strength that makes people feel chilling when they think about it, but to protect the huge territory of more than 3,800 river systems, the army of the Shenguang Clan with only 300 regular troops is already not enough, and there is not much problem in defending under normal circumstances, but if you want to fight a full-scale war, it will put the Shenguang Clan in a very embarrassing situation: you can't draw too many troops, and you can't afford to fight a large-scale war with an opponent of similar strength.
This is not a joke, the Divine Light Clan, which has three hundred legions, cannot draw a strong army, which is a joke, but it is a fact. To defend a land with a radius of 500 million light years, the number of troops required makes people's scalps tingle when you think about it, a river system, even if it has been conquered, but it also needs a certain number of garrisons, so all kinds of calculations, the amount of force that can really be used for the attack will definitely not exceed thirty legions, and the other ninety percent of the troops must be stationed in various places in case of any accidents.
This is just a normal situation, but now it is a time of all-out war, which means that more than 3,000 river systems are likely to be attacked by the enemy, even their mother river system, the Shenguang River system, which is not a joke, because any commander with a brain must consider this possibility.
In space, it is not like on the planet, there will be rivers, mountains, deserts and other harsh terrain to prevent it, forming a natural danger of the place, only a small number of troops can defend hundreds of kilometers of borders or positions. An effective line of defense can be formed by pulling up a circle of barbed wire on the borders of countries, which is space, a space that is unimaginably large.
The distance between river systems and river systems is between hundreds of thousands of light years and even millions of light years, and the space around a river system is too large, so to speak, if all the space around the river system and its surroundings is calculated, the cross-section is equivalent to a circle with a diameter of one million light years, but the river system only occupies the radius of the center of the circle is 100,000 to 150,000 light years, and according to the area of the circle, the part of a river system in it is only about 25 to 1/10 of the total area, and there is such a huge gap, what enemy cannot pass through hereThis is like when two armies on the earth are fighting, two armies stationed on the same position, the length of their defensive position is 10 kilometers, but the distance between them reaches more than 100 kilometers, and the enemy can still be prevented from infiltrating above this 100 kilometers? Therefore, in the universe, the defense line is the most troublesome and problematic in space.
When two armies fight, you can attack one river system at a time, which is a war method for the purpose of occupation, but the enemy can also send small troops to infiltrate from the river system to the river system, and then attack the river system or star sector where your rear defense is weak, this is called guerrilla tactics, the purpose is to consume the enemy's tactics, and in the space war, the most terrible thing is this kind of space tactics, especially the Zerg, a race that does not need any logistical supplies, they can fight forever.
Everyone knows that once the Zerg really launches this guerrilla tactic and sends more than a thousand mother emperors to attack a thousand river systems, there is no need to really achieve much results, just put on a show, it is enough to make more than ninety percent of the army of the Shenguang Clan unable to move, a river system, if there is no army around the army to defend, it will only be full of loopholes, and become a backyard where the enemy can attack from a certain point at will, if the Zerg slaughters tens of thousands of planets, then everyone in the military headquarters is afraid that they will be scolded to death by all the people。
Because of this, the Shenguang Clan did not dare to start a full-scale war with the enemy until they had perfected their own defense line. In the past, it was not that no other race wanted to play this kind of all-out war, but it was impossible to play, and if any enemy wanted to sneak attack, His Majesty the Great Pope only needed a prayer to know the enemy's attacking strength, target and current position, and he could calmly arrange his own defense. This is the first thing, and the second is that the previous races were not capable of launching an all-out war, and sending an army deep into the enemy's rear to carry out various tasks on their own, which is not a task that ordinary armies can accomplish, plus all kinds of difficulties, such as logistical supply, soldier replenishment, and other unsolvable problems, therefore, it is not so easy to go to the enemy's territory to fight guerrilla warfare.
But the race they have to face now is completely different, first, His Majesty the Pope can no longer get any news from the Heavenly Realm, if the Angel Saint Clan in the Heavenly Realm dares to leak the news of the enemy, their enemies will dare to send down divine punishment to destroy the Divine Light Clan, therefore, the Divine Light Clan has lost one of its most powerful abilities: the omnipotent intelligence ability. Second, the Zerg do not need logistical supplies, they do not need to replenish soldiers, they only need energy, and energy is everywhere in space, there is only the difference between concentration and lightness, but there is no difference between having and not being, so the Zerg are born with the ability to fight guerrilla warfare in the enemy's territory.
You can imagine with your toes that once a full-scale war starts, the mysterious enemy will definitely send the mother emperor of the Zerg to the territory of the Shenguang Clan to make trouble, so that the losses of the Shenguang Clan will be great, and the entire Shenguang Clan will become panicked, therefore, if you want to really win this battle, you must first stabilize your own defense line, and install all kinds of intelligence and reconnaissance things in all the river systems and river systems, so that the enemy army cannot easily enter their territory to make trouble, as well as the construction of various defense systems, conscription work, etc., these tasks can not be completed in a moment, so to speak, the Shenguang Clan is not ready for all-out war at all.
Bigula said, "Hyrel, you mean that it is not right for us to go to war with the enemy now. "At least it is not advisable to start an all-out war, and they should also think that if we fight them with all our might, they will not be happy, so we only need to maintain a certain amount of military pressure, in case the other side is pushed into a hurry, then it will be our turn to have a hard time." ”
Altai smiled bitterly and said, "That means we can't do anything." "It can be said that we really can't do anything at the moment, but this is a war that lasts for tens of thousands of years or even 100,000 years or even indefinitely, and we should be mentally prepared that this battle will definitely not be fought in a moment or three. ”
This is the war between the evenly matched forces, for the general small god clan or the power without the background of the heavenly realm god clan, it is already very powerful to be able to block the attack of the Shenguang clan for three hundred years, even the green yarn tribe was as strong as the green yarn tribe back then, it was just to block the attack of the Shenguang clan for three thousand years, if it was only a zerg tribe in front of them, the Shenguang clan would still not let them go, but now it is a god clan with the same strength as the angel saint clan to support it behind it, that is another matter, such a war may have to be fought for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, until both sides are unable to fight, or until the upper realm orders mediation, it is impossible to decide the winner in a short period of time.
Bigula received the advice of Herrell and after synthesizing the opinions of all parties, he said: "From the analysis of the current situation, we must be careful, or do what Herrell said, this is a very difficult war, we will stand still for the time being, and then hand over the results of our discussion to the ministry and His Majesty the Pope, let them decide." Of course, such a major event is not something that Bigula can decide alone, the last time the problem was inevitable, but attaching his own opinion to the question is also a mode of seeking expression from the Shang.
Of course, no one objected to Bigula's final decision, and the report of the Ninth Legion, together with the analysis report of the Otlet, flew towards the Shenguang River System through the radio waves, which was a space far away of 500 million light-years, and it would take at least several months to think of the instructions from above.
During this time, the Ninth Army transferred the Third Fleet back, and now that the existence of the enemy was known, it was useless to leave the Third Fleet here. At the same time, the Ninth Army began to fully build their defense line in the Slashing Tiger River system, and once the war began, the Slaying Tiger River System and the Slaying Tiger River System would be the two front-line river systems, and this would inevitably become a battlefield.
