One Thousand Four Hundred and Sixteen Deduction

Jizhou, virtual command headquarters.

The command center is suspending a holographic image of Jupiter's inner layer. The huge Jupiter and all its satellites are all listed on it. The Jizhou fleet, the international fleet and the alien fleet are also in their respective positions.

A group of young combat officers were divided into three teams, one representing the Jizhou Fleet, one representing the International Fleet, and one playing the role of aliens. The three parties tried their best to deduce the development and changes of the war situation.

The development of the war situation is unpredictable, but the direction of development has some clues. The first battle has just been fought, and there are still many battles to be fought. It can be said that people are panicked. Huo Qiang feels that it is necessary to give everyone a meal. As a reassurance, I ordered the staff department to conduct a war game.

This thing cannot represent the real development of the war situation, but it can reflect the direction of development to a certain extent and has a very important reference role.

The Jizhou fleet on the chessboard had just intercepted the alien fleet, and Wu Han quietly approached Huo Qiang: "Commander, we just received the joint report from the Qingzhou and Yangzhou."

Huo Qiang glanced at Wu Han in surprise: "What's going on?"

Wu Han looked at the holographic image of the fierce battle: "The alien fleet is slowing down."

"What?" Huo Qiang's eyes widened and he pointed at the chessboard, "Stop!"

The deduction was interrupted by Huo Qiang, and all the staff members involved in the deduction looked at Huo Qiang blankly. Just a moment ago, it was noisy like a vegetable market, but in the next moment it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Huo Qiang didn't care what the staff thought, and looked at Wu Han seriously: "Why did you slow down?"

"It's still unclear. I think the aliens may be planning to give up support and ignore Callisto," Wu Han said.

Huo Qiang nodded solemnly: "It makes sense... What else did the Qingzhou report?"

"Nothing else for now."

"Has the enemy's direction changed?"

"No.

”

"Order Qingzhou to pay close attention to the enemy's movements and report any abnormality immediately."

"Yes!" Wu Han agreed and opened the virtual screen with a swipe of his finger to view the observation data.

Huo Qiang waved his hand at the stunned staff officers: "Start again, Qingzhou Yangzhou slows down, the alien fleet slows down accordingly, start as soon as possible!"

The staff immediately took action, restored the suspended scene to its current real state, and then began to discuss possible development directions.

Huo Qiang stared at the chessboard, lowered his voice and asked Zhuang Bo beside him: "What do you think about this?"

Zhuang Bo rubbed his forehead: "It's hard to say. We know too little. At present, I agree with Wu Han's opinion. According to this idea, the next step of the alien fleet is likely to be to return to Ganymede."

Huo Qiang thought for a while and said, "What do you think?"

"Two plans." Zhuang Bo said, "The first is to not move until the enemy does not move, carry out interception according to the original plan, and see the enemy's movements before making a plan; the second is to abandon the interception plan, the fleet immediately turns around, and intercepts the enemy's flight." Course to Ganymede ”

Huo Qiang muttered: "Let's do this. We immediately order the Qingzhou and Yangzhou to turn. We must act decisively. The main force does not need to move and continues to move in the current direction."

The Qingzhou and Yangzhou happened to be standing between the enemy and Callisto. If these two battle groups turned away, it would be equivalent to giving the enemy a channel to Callisto!

The enemy's purpose has always been to support Callisto. Who knows if they are playing hard to get?

The order was quickly transmitted to the front. The two battle groups of Qingzhou and Yangzhou abandoned the enemy and accelerated at the same time. They arrived at the designated coordinates about five hours later, blocking the enemy's flight path to Ganymede.

Soon after, the International Fleet received a notification of this order. After Halsey read it, his depressed mood finally improved.

Although Huo Qiang forced him into a corner, the actions he should take were not ambiguous at all. Only by clarifying this point could Halsey safely leave his back to the Jizhou fleet.

The progress of the war game is actually much faster. Huo Qiang has just given the order here. The enemy and ourselves in the war game have already launched a series of confrontations around interception. The originally unified large chessboard was divided into several parts. On some boards, the enemy troops flew towards the wood. Some of the enemy troops on the chessboard rushed towards Callisto; some bypassed the Jizhou fleet and raided the battlefield in the direction of Callisto.

The most bizarre situation is that the alien fleet clings to the Jizhou fleet, and then the alien fleet from Ganymede surrounds and annihilates the international fleet.

Huo Qiang looked at them one by one, wondering which situation was more likely to happen. Wu Han suddenly raised his head: "Commander, new situation."

Huo Qiang perked up: "Is there any movement in the alien fleet?"

Wu Han shook his head: "It's not an alien fleet, it's Ganymede."

Huo Qiang subconsciously looked at the chessboard that surrounded and annihilated the international fleet: "What's going on?"

"A large number of insect drones appeared in the direction of Jupiter, as well as many alien battleships and alien spaceships..." Wu Han pointed his finger and the virtual screen turned to Huo Qiang.

Huo Qiang looked at the large group of alien aircraft on the screen, and his mind was in a mess: "What are you doing? Do you have to fight hard?"

"It's not clear yet, it doesn't look like it."

Huo Qiang suppressed his anger: "Then go figure it out!"

Wu Han hurried away, but turned back and floated back: "Commander, there is movement on Io!"

"Io?" Huo Qiang was in a bad mood, "There are aliens on Io?"

Space telescopes of various countries monitor Jupiter 24 hours a day, but have never found aliens on Io.

Io is too violent. It erupts volcanoes at any time. There is not a drop of water on the surface. In such a harsh environment, why do aliens run there?

Wu Han said: "Yes, and there are quite a few of them, with families, and they look like they are fleeing."

Huo Qiang couldn't help but take a breath: "Aliens want to run away?"

"No way?" Zhuang Bo's eyes widened, "They have been operating here for so many years, how can they give up?"

Although the surface of Callisto was blown into a ghostly state, everyone knew that there must be aliens surviving deep in Callisto. Otherwise, why would they release the giant ants?

Wu Han said: "Maybe they are evacuating non-combat units."

Huo Qiang couldn't guess the aliens' motives, so he cautiously ordered: "Keep a close eye on the aliens' movements... By the way, what's the situation with Europa?"

Wu Han said: "Europa is quiet."

"What's going on?" Zhuang Bo was surprised, "Europa still wants to hold on?"

Wu Han swiped his finger, and the virtual screen showed the figure of Europa. It was so peaceful and quiet. No aliens could be seen on the surface or in the nearby space.

"Isn't that right? Aren't there a lot of aliens in this place?" Zhuang Bo looked at Huo Qiang in confusion.

Huo Qiang frowned as he stared at the screen. It seemed like there were several strings in his mind that were shaking back and forth, but they couldn't be put together.
