1559 You Are All Right

"Just now, a piece of good news has been sent from the front." In the combat conference room, a general handed over the message in his hand to Marshal Wagron who presided over the combat conference.

He said with a smile: "Recently, the number of times the opposing space fleet crossed our fleet's defense line and attempted to break into the hinterland of the empire has decreased by 75%..."

Another general took up the topic, and said to Wagron: "The two attempts to expand the battlefield failed, which made the enemy temporarily give up trying to cross our defense line and penetrate deep into me."

On the star map above the conference table, the number of red arrows indicating that the opponent is attempting to cross the fleet-intensive area and attacking in other directions is decreasing, which makes Wagron somewhat relieved.

If the other party keeps spreading their forces and making troubles everywhere, it will cause panic in the hinterland of the empire. The army of the Alan Hill Empire is not conjured out of thin air, it needs the support of the production area and the rear.

Once the rear base is harassed, the production capacity will drop, and the replenishment to the front line will be slowed down—Germany lost the war in World War II because the rear was constantly harassed.

There are many examples like this, and it is indeed worthy of vigilance. The Ellandhill Empire is not a guardian, and cannot directly create troops on the front line, so its weakness, or one of its weaknesses, is actually the vast hinterland behind the empire's border defenses.

"The opponent is concentrating its forces, trying to push back our Second Fleet deployed on the other side of the Higgs 5, and then relying on the Higgs 5, continue to attack the Higgs 3." A general said The infrared pointer pointed to the area with the densest fleets on the holographic projection, and introduced.

This is the latest offensive change of the watchman. While the fierce battle on the Higgs 5 is still going on, the watchman has realized that it is not an easy task to capture the Higgs 5.

After being reinforced by the adventure of the Ireland Hill Empire once, the offensive and defensive warfare on the surface of Higgs 5 has obviously changed.

The defense line of Higgs No. 5, which lacked the support of elite troops before, has now added a large number of high-end combat forces, and the defense line of the Alan Hill Empire has become stronger.

The army of watchmen who fell into a bitter battle fell into a bitter battle because they couldn't support their battles with battles, and they didn't have the opportunity to break through the enemy's defense line and devour the enemy in time.

Under such circumstances, the other party seems to have drawn their attention back to the universe, preparing to regain the initiative from the universe theater.

The specific manifestation is that the Guardian Fleet has recently suspended its frequent harassment of the First Fleet of the Alan Hill Empire, and instead began to attack the Second Fleet led by Admiral Bakarov.

The two sides fought frequently in the narrow space, and the fighting was very fierce. At one time, the space in the war zone had too many wreckage, so the two sides had to stop fighting and retreat...

During this period of time, the main losses of the space fleet of the Alan Hill Empire were actually losses from the Second Fleet.

It can be said that after Princess Andrea led the army to block the enemy's advancing fleet and completely wiped out the enemy, the situation on the battlefield changed.

At least in the general direction, the Alan Hill Empire deterred the opponent's idea of ​​infiltration and combat, so that the opponent had to return to the front line honestly and continue to fight the tough battle with great pain.

A general sitting in the back row proposed a battle plan drawn up by a few generals in the staff department: "Some of the staff in the staff department mean that,

If we give up entanglement with the enemy on Higgs 5 and concentrate our forces on a decisive battle with the enemy in the area of ​​Higgs 3, it may cause many variables. "

According to this combat plan, the Ireland Hill Empire can voluntarily abandon Higgs 5 and place the enemy in the Higgs 3 area.

After the brutal battle for Higgs 3, release Higgs 3 to the opponent—afterwards, use the space fleet to seal the encirclement on both wings, wipe out the enemy's space fleet, from the direction of Dothan and Alante , use the 3rd and 4th fleets to encircle the opponent and end this war once and for all.

Many generals who wanted a quick battle were more supportive of this battle plan. They believed that letting the enemy fleet enter the encirclement, and then gathering and annihilating them from all directions would end the war as soon as possible.

However, if some people agree, there will naturally be others who oppose it, and the most resolute one is General Luo Kai, the Chief of Staff of the Imperial General Staff.

A general immediately persuaded Wagron: "Chief of Staff Luo Kai thinks this is not a good choice. If we completely withdraw from Higgs 5, then the other party may attack Higgs 4 and Higgs 6." Launch an attack, and in this way, the defense area of ​​our army will be more than doubled."

"Although we can invest in the Royal Fleet and subsequent fleets, expanding the defense line will also help our army consume the enemy's vital strength, but this is still risky after all." Finally, he firmly stated his point of view.

"What did your Majesty say?" Wagron nodded, without expressing his opinion, but asked about Chris's attitude.

Hearing his question, the general who agreed with Chief of Staff Luo Kai's decision immediately beamed with joy, and said: "Your Majesty means that delaying time and waiting for changes in the battle situation is a strategic policy that cannot be changed. All campaign plans must be drawn up." around this strategic approach."

And those generals who wanted to make a quick decision after hearing these words all bowed their heads in silence—they didn't have the courage to question His Majesty's strategic decision.

On the one hand, it was because Chris's reputation in the empire was indeed in full swing, and His Majesty's public support rate had always been frighteningly high.

On the other hand, it is also because His Majesty's decisions have always been correct and almost never made mistakes-under such circumstances, isn't it against yourself to question Chris?

"Indeed, His Majesty's strategic vision is still very precise. Our strategy is to delay time and not engage in hasty strategic decisive battles with the enemy... From this perspective, it is undoubtedly stupid to give up Higgs 5. Wagron continued to nod and said in agreement.

He has always been a loyal supporter of Chris, and some of his political enemies privately called him the emperor's loyal dog. In Wagron's view, if His Majesty the Emperor has something to decide, he just needs to follow it.

If Chris's decision is correct most of the time, Wagron's decision is 100% only one: I will do whatever the emperor asks me to do...

A general raised his concerns at this time: "However, if the Second Fleet insists on threatening the enemy's main fleet on the flank of Higgs 5 and getting involved in the opponent's strategic offensive direction, then the opponent is likely to withdraw from Higgs 5 and turn to the enemy. And try Dothan, or the Yalante region..."

Wagron smiled, waved his hand and dismissed his hypothesis: "Impossible! If the enemy is willing to give up the Higgs 5, then we can say that we have defeated them with one tactic. No matter what they do in the future Where to attack, we only need to dig a hole again according to the same tactics."

The reason is actually very simple. If the enemy has not breached the Higgs 5, they will also be unable to breach the Dothan 5, and of course they will not be able to break through the Alante 5 either.

No matter where the enemy attacks, the Alan Hill Empire can use the same method to block the gap and plunge the enemy into a bitter battle.

The general wanted to provide some theoretical support for his hypothesis, and continued to argue: "However, Dothan... and the Alante region, there is no core defense planet like Higgs 3..."

Wagron looked at the other party with a smile, and said: "You know, I know, do the watchmen know? The other party and we are not keeping prisoners now. Do you think the other party has a lot of information on our side? "

As the marshal of the Alan Hill Empire, if Wagron had no real skills, he would have been kicked out of the core decision-making circle by Chris long ago. In fact, he is not a stupid person, he is even a first-class smart person.

The proud and arrogant watchman is actually not as good as Alan Hill in terms of information acquisition. Under the influence of the decision not to keep any prisoners, the caretaker actually knew nothing about the extent of the preparations for the war of the Alan Hill Empire.

Under such circumstances, the possibility of the opponent rashly changing the main attack direction is almost zero. This is not what Wagron took for granted, but determined by objective facts.

No one will leave the wild area with vision and go to a dark place to invade and spawn monsters. Few people dare to take such an adventure, and only a few people do it well.

"In terms of defense and defense, Dothan and the Alanta region are close to Higgs. In fact, the defensive preparations deployed before are still very sufficient." In addition, Wagron is more confident because he understands the combat readiness in these areas. .

"That's right, the other party will definitely fall into the quagmire of war when they attack these large areas. This is something we have already calculated before!" Another general nodded in agreement.

The general who just raised the hypothesis stopped talking, sat back to his seat, and recorded some key points in his notebook—he also felt that it was unlikely that the other party would give up Higgs 5.

"In fact, the most fearful thing is that the enemy army can quickly penetrate the defense line we have set up on the border. If the enemy army quickly enters the hinterland of the empire, we will lose." The general who agreed with Wagron continued: "Regardless How many planets the enemy army has occupied on the border, as long as the enemy army does not penetrate the defense line, the opponent will fall into the quagmire of the war planned long ago when the opponent stops attacking."

"The only thing that makes us seem passive now is the number of enemy troops, which is much larger than what we estimated before." He said while making a helpless gesture: "We never assumed that the number of enemy troops A war mobilization capability that would exceed or be approximately equal to that of Alan Hill ... seems almost impossible to us."

"But now, such a situation has happened...that's why we haven't found a chance to launch a counterattack until now." Wagron took over the conversation and continued to speak. In fact, he is also very regretful that the opponent has not given the huge space fleet of the Alan Hill Empire a suitable counterattack opportunity until now.

"It is very difficult to launch a counterattack. Although launching a partial counterattack can win, we are worried that the loss of troops caused by the counterattack in advance will make us lose our advantage in the next war." He shook his head regretfully.

"Even Chief of Staff Luo Kai believes that whether we have an advantage now is still unknown. The enemy is likely to hide part of their strength and attack us with all their strength when we reveal our weaknesses..." Another general added.

The generals around couldn't help talking: "It's really an annoying speculation, is the staff so pessimistic?"

"This has nothing to do with being pessimistic or not. In fact, no one can shoulder the responsibility of putting the empire at a disadvantage!" the general explained again.

"Yes, if we follow the current style of play, even if we lose Higgs No. 5, Higgs No. 4 or even Higgs No. 3... In fact, the situation is still under our control." A veteran He said with emotion: "But if we start to fight back, once we fall into a disadvantage, the situation will be beyond our control. In this case, how will the general who decides to fight back explain to His Majesty?"

"He doesn't need to explain anymore. Even if he commits suicide, he will be recorded in history and become the people and the sinner of the entire empire." A young general next to the old general sneered.

Another general with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was not far from the young general sneered: "Ha. Becoming a sinner is already the best ending for him. If this war fails, the entire Alan Hill Empire will be wiped out... No one Will remember that we used to exist!"

"Then we just sit and wait like this?" The surrounding generals continued to discuss: "Yes, do we just wait passively like this?"

"Waiting is not just waiting to die. There are turning points in the war. Sometimes the change is because the famous general made the most correct choice. Sometimes it is because the troops participating in the battle have achieved amazing results. It may also be during the war. There are weapons and equipment that can change the situation of the battle," Wagron said.

"Yeah, think about it. During the Battle of Fallen Dragon City, we had many problems in decision-making, but in the end, we defeated the mighty Magic Empire by relying on the anti-aircraft machine gun that just came out." The old man The general followed suit.

"Yeah, in the ensuing wars, tanks, airplanes, and nuclear weapons appeared...there are countless examples of the Alan Hill Empire relying on advanced weapons to turn the tide of battle!" A general who followed Chris to seize the world still remembers New agrees.

He looked at the generals around him confidently, and confirmed his judgment: "So this time, we can also wait, wait for our technicians to provide more powerful weapons and equipment, so that we can win the war again! "

"Okay! You are all right." Those generals who were a little bit unwilling just now finally put away their thoughts...
