Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

During the first half of the actual combat simulation exercise, he was still able to comfort himself, thinking that as long as he was willing to invest the capital and transfer the First Fleet with warp speed engines, he could still easily defeat these troops. Both are on the low side of the odd warship.

After all, it's a warp drive!It is a great creation from ancient civilization!As long as they have it, they can make an entire fleet cross the gap of tens of thousands of kilometers in milliseconds, break through to the front of these warships that are not good at melee combat, and smash the violent ultra-high-speed plasma mass on their fragile bodies above the hull.

Looking at the 93 galaxies in the Great Rupert Country—no, plus the territories of those alien civilizations and traitors, there are 189 galaxies in the huge star field, and only one ancient civilization has been encountered. The most valuable archaeological site, in the end only 6 usable warp drives were unearthed!

Something so precious and powerful at the same time will definitely be able to reverse the disadvantage of the range for them - as long as it hits the face, everything will be fine!

Then, when he saw the second half of the exercise, the opponents also began to demonstrate their range-type warp drive, showing them how to use the warp drive to re-start when the "imaginary enemy who mainly uses close-range weapons" chooses to charge to close the distance. When he opened the distance and continued to kite, most of his illusions were shattered.

Although judging from the exercise situation, the performance of the opponent's engine may be slightly weaker than theirs, but this is of no use. If the high-speed engine avoids a charge, then it will take several hours to recharge the energy enough to drive the multi-billion-ton fleet to a warp speed of at least [-] kilometers.

hours!

The day lilies are cold!

However, although he already understood that this human and cat alliance is not an easy persimmon, and the great leader will most likely not consider the possibility of going to war with it in a short period of time, but as a military commander, he also thought of it. Other than the numbers, there are other ways to defeat these warships - as long as the fleet advances to a distance of about [-] kilometers under the firepower, and then let the engine take off, jump directly into the opponent's formation, and when the battleships of both sides are mixed together, There is no way for them to lead the fleet to distance again.

After all, warp speed is indistinguishable from friend or foe.

Although the battle damage in this way is definitely not good-looking, and it may be better than a pile of numbers, but at least it provides a good tactic for their future wars with this cat alliance and humans, and it is still of certain value .

However, the opponent seemed to be able to read minds. He just thought of this tactic, and the opponent's subsequent maneuvers mercilessly swept it into the garbage dump.

"Warp Disruption Force Field..."

He sat behind his desk, secretly chewing a few words in his heart.

After the simulated confrontation that showed how to use the disrupting force field to intercept the warp speed and prevent the imaginary enemy fleet from rushing towards the face, he finally abandoned all illusions and realized that this time the opponent was particularly difficult.

If it is said that they are strong enough to compete with all the fleets of the Great Rupert Kingdom, then he certainly does not believe it. He does not think that there is such a possibility, whether it is emotionally or intellectually——but, most of them are deployed in this direction. The two main fleets are evenly matched, or even have a slight advantage. That possibility is still very high.

Especially at the end of the exercise, the opponent showed a fleet composed of dozens of warships that were bigger than their Truth-class battleships and were called "Glory-class" warships by the opponent, which made them realize that the opponent also had technology, After being able to manufacture large-scale heavy warships, he became even more determined that the leader would never provoke a war with the opponent at such a time.

The Great Rupert Country can fail tactically, and can deliberately lose some battles for the concept of "sustainable war", but they must not accept strategic failure-once a fatal mistake occurs, the two main fleets will be destroyed here. Total annihilation, the consequences will be disastrous.

Grand Rupert would not risk doing such a thing.

He thought so.

However, things went beyond his expectations.

After getting their data back, the leader not only did not give them an order to negotiate peacefully and avoid intensifying conflicts and provoking war. Means, such as sending probes directly into the opponent's territory for detection, while ordering the first and second divisions of the Ninth Fleet, which were originally supposed to guard against the Akachi swarm in the neighboring galaxy, to start preparations, and set off and rush here at the same time when the Eighth Fleet is about to arrive. .

Although they haven't been given an order to prepare for war, anyone with a little brain can realize that the leader is planning to go to war directly with the other party.

Why?Didn't you say before that you would try to negotiate peacefully?How do you say that if you change your mind, you will change your mind?Where does the leader get the confidence to wage war?Will there be any intelligence misunderstanding?

Do you think they would think so?

Unfortunately, no.

As a qualified Great Ruper countryman, what they have to do is to carry out the order without hesitation.

They don't need to think.

They just need to execute!

After confirming the intention to start a war, in order to confuse the opponent, the third team did not immediately start to behave strangely, but first pretended to negotiate peacefully with the opponent, and continuously sent diplomats into the opponent's territory, as if they really wanted peace The way they live together.

The other party was obviously deceived by their superb acting skills, and began to discuss various matters with them cheerfully, such as demarcating the border between the two sides, discussing future diplomatic matters, and discussing how to jointly resist the killer bees Wait a minute, group—of course they're happy about it.

After all, every day the other party realizes, they can add another bargaining chip to their victory in the surprise war.

As for the backstab or something—a joke, as long as it is not a backstab against the Great Rupert Kingdom, it is just and reasonable.

You want to ask if it was a backstab against the Great Rupert Kingdom?

Disgusting betrayal!nausea!Everyone gets it and kills it!

In terms of double standards, the Great Rupert Kingdom can be said to be at its peak.

However, this deception cannot last forever. With the intelligence agency's more rampant investigation activities, the relationship between the two sides began to deteriorate sharply, and finally when their eighth and ninth fleets arrived in this star field, at the same time Intelligence began to ignore its warnings, insisting on sending probes into its system and breaking apart completely.

Realizing that they had no diplomatic sincerity at all, Panya closed the diplomatic channels with them, and the human fleet began to implement military control over the wormhole, prohibiting any man-made objects sent from the Great Rupert Kingdom from entering the solar system.

At this point, war is inevitable.

Naturally, the Great Rupert Kingdom doesn’t care about this—if I really want to say it, the only pity is that I haven’t figured out the specific composition of the cat-mao loyalty alliance, except that their population has master ears and Tail, I also learned from some gossip that this cat alliance seems to be like them, with a supreme leader who dominates everything, and uses absolute power to rule the country, so there is no more understanding.

This may become a hidden danger——however, even though the other party has been developing active diplomacy with them, everyone is keeping their mouths shut about that mysterious country, as if they are avoiding something, unwilling to reveal anything valuable Information.

But there is no way, time waits for no one—anyway, their detectors have already figured out the general information of this solar system, and clarified the size of the fleet and fortress they will face in this battle, and the staff has also made a clear judgment It is believed that the two fully formed main fleets, with a total of about 46 billion tons of huge fleets, can almost 20% defeat the opponent's fleet of up to 12 billion tons (actually only [-] billion tons).

Even in the worst situation, they can force the opponent to flee at a warp speed after a lot of battle damage, thus occupying this visually estimated population should be tens of billions, and they also have a lot of industrial and shipbuilding industries. important galaxies.

The only regret is that judging from the fact that this galaxy only has two wormholes leading to the unknown star field, this place should not be a core transportation hub, so their occupation can only cause the other party to lose an important industrial galaxy with a certain population. At most, it can only cut off a small part of the galaxy's road, but it can't achieve the effect of breaking up the opponent's territory.

But it's okay.

In war, isn't the comparison about the background, isn't the competition about industrial capabilities, shipbuilding and development speed?

Compared to these, the Great Rupert Kingdom has never been afraid—the reason why the great Ruperts have been able to defeat those alien civilizations with higher technological levels than them with their relatively weak scientific research capabilities is because of their strong and powerful abilities. Efficient industrial machines.

They believe that these great industrial behemoths will completely destroy those alien civilizations that believe in chaos, purify their ignorant ideas, and let them become tireless gears in the great Great Rupert Kingdom. Dedicate everything to the civilization of the Lupus!

The great war is coming!

...

War, after all, could not be avoided.

Looking at the wormhole that has been strictly blocked by the fleet and is working overtime to deploy nuclear air mines, Hong sighed.

Although it is still not sure which link went wrong, whether their true strength was exposed, making the other party realize that their fleet/galaxy is actually very small, or is the power of the other party really unimaginably strong, self-confidence can be Destroy the powerful illusion they created.

However, no matter what went wrong, it doesn't matter at this moment - since they are inevitably going to war, then entangled in what went wrong is just adding troubles and tossing themselves.

At present, the attitude of one's own camp towards the war has been divided into two obvious factions - one side thinks that since most of the cat alliance's fleet is on the earth, it should simply send all the remaining fleet over, and at the same time let the foreign allies, Locke and others The forces of human beings also send as many as they can, in order to assemble the strongest troops, and take advantage of the strong defense system on the earth and the advantages of blocking the wormhole to block the Great Rupert Kingdom from the wormhole.

The other party believes that although doing so can meet the enemy with the strongest combat effectiveness, once the battle is defeated, the entire star field will be severely damaged, and the combat effectiveness will not be restored within a few years. Raging—they believe that the solar system should be abandoned, and the planets rely on the army to resist the landing, while the fleet withdraws to the territory of each civilization, so as to gain strategic depth and buy time for the construction of the fleet.

Although the views of these two factions have obvious butt factors, it is undeniable that, at least logically, both factions have put forward tenable reasons, and they have not said that they really only care about their own interests and do not consider the overall situation— —In fact, after a fruitless debate, the only consensus reached by the civilizations in the end was to let the Cat League decide.

After all, the Cat League has more than half of the fleet in the entire star field, and the current military strength near the solar system is overwhelming compared with other civilizations, and even the civilized humans involved. It depends on which side the cat alliance chooses, and which side can become the plan to be implemented next.

What's more, in terms of industrial development, the only thing they can count on is the Cat League-so, although there are many voices of opposition in the country, the opinions of all civilizations are very firm.

Let the Cat League decide.

Only the Cat League can decide.

"So, Hong, have you made up your mind?" Xi'er tilted her head and asked, "I heard that the other party's fleet has already arrived in the galaxy next door, and it will arrive at Earth in a year at most, and it will be too late if you don't make a decision." .”

"Do not worry."

Hong stretched out his hand to stroke Zai Zai's soft white hair, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"I already have one, a wonderful solution."

Volume IV Industry and Power: Chapter 250 Industry and Totalitarianism

Combat preparations are proceeding in an orderly manner.

After confirming the size of the incoming fleet, within a few days, various civilizations and countries have announced that they have entered a state of general mobilization. The human countries that are about to face the first wave of impact are going all out to manufacture land and air defense weapons. Build up your army to deal with the very likely loss of orbit that would require the Army to defend against a landing.

And other civilizations in the rear, their economic policies are also rapidly shifting to wartime economy. A large number of orders and production plans are like snowflakes floating to the military factories in space, marking the formalization of this round of peace cycle that has lasted for more than 20 years. declare the end.

The war with the Great Rupert Kingdom is imminent.

Although they are independent civilizations from each other, there is no such thing as who owes anyone or who must help whom to defend, and the Cat League has previously stated that "it will not join the war unconditionally" to avoid being prostituted by them, but Well, this condition does not apply to this war - the premise of not ending unconditionally is that they can choose whether to fight or not, but it is obvious that the Great Rupert Kingdom does not give them a chance to choose.

Everyone understands that human civilization is just the beginning. The solar system was captured, followed by Cat League and Locke. No one can stay out of it.

Their status is not "invaded neighbors of humanity".

It's "a member of the Hacked List".

Therefore, the countries that know the truth of the death of the lips and teeth, quickly signed a mutual defense treaty called the "United Front against the Great Rupert Kingdom" in the "Interstellar Convocation" space station on the orbit of Katus, Get ready to fight together against this totalitarian state filled with oppression and terror.

This is destined to be a difficult road. There are two full-stacked huge fleets in the galaxy next door, with a total mass of more than 40 billion tons. The minimum lower limit is at least 120 billion tons, and the actual quantity is likely to be at least 50% more than this figure.

This is undoubtedly a war with the largest gap in combat power in the history of this star field. Even with a very optimistic estimate, the combined military power of all their civilizations is only one-fifth to one-sixth of that of the Great Rupert Kingdom. And pessimistic estimates even have a figure of more than ten or one-twentieth.

Even in the dark period when the human-iron heart war was the most difficult and the entire solar system could not gather a population of [-] million, the military gap between the two sides was smaller than the optimistic estimate this time.

is it hard?

It's hard, it's hard.

However, they will still move forward bravely and fight until the last moment—whether that moment is the dawn before victory or the last twilight before sunset, they will do their best for it.

When the fleet of the Great Rupert Kingdom finally appeared in this galaxy, and the huge fleet set off from planet No. [-] and began to move towards planet No. [-] leading to the solar system, people understood that the war had entered the final countdown.

They are here.

...

"Report sir, the vanguard fleet reports that the nuclear air mines near the wormhole have been cleared, and the safe zone has been opened!"

The sound of the subordinate's report reached his ears, making his master's ear tremble.

"Very good, forward this information to the fleet in the wormhole, and inform them that the threat of nuclear air mines has been eliminated." He nodded slightly, and then ordered, "Also, Telecom Eighth Fleet, tell them that it is time to An attack has been launched."

"Yes, sir!"

The adjutant saluted a standard military salute, then turned around and gave the order to the communications soldiers responsible for the specific execution, asking them to quickly distribute the flagship's order--soon, the huge warships that were originally quietly surrounding the wormhole all clicked. After turning on the light at the tail, it began to head towards that distant star system.

Although due to insufficient preparation in advance, their vanguard fleet suffered heavy losses under the enemy's nuclear air mine strikes due to insufficient preparation in advance, and it is estimated that at least 30 capital ships and more than [-] small and medium-sized warships suffered serious damage. damage, and failed to fire even a single shot at the opponent's warship, he had to withdraw from the battle.

Before they met, they dropped a fleet of almost 8000 million tons, which is equivalent to about half of Pan Asia's troops, which is enough to prove how reckless the opponent was when they rushed in-if they were to do this, they would lose at most The fleet is only about a few million tons, and it is not impossible to compress it to less than a million tons if you are fully prepared.

Sending such a large fleet at the meeting is enough to turn the situation around in previous wars - during the Anti-Extinction War more than 70 years ago in Catus, the combined strength of the cat alliance and humans was just over 20 million That's all, even if it was only more than 8000 years ago, and the total strength of the two parties involved in the war was more than one billion, the cat alliance lost its fleet of [-] million tons before the exchange of fire, which was enough to make Hong have to reconsider the relationship with The feasibility of the opponent's decisive battle.

But for the Great Rupert Country, an 8000 million-ton fleet?

It is only a quarter of the fleet's annual output (Note 1), and it is only a small fleet that can be replenished in a month. It is simply not profitable to exchange such a small loss for the result of breaking through the opponent's wormhole blockade.

Even if you only consider the eighth and ninth main fleets that are currently fighting humans, Locke, and the cat alliance, the mere 8000 million tons is less than 2% of these two fleets.

There are many warships and strong industry, that is self-willed!

Of course, what the vanguard fleet has to face is not just nuclear air mines, they are just sweets. What they really value is the opponent's main fleet.

Although under the guidance of the great leader, they have no doubt that they can win the war-no one doubts this.

But, as officers, they still have to "worry" about the strength of the enemy's fleet for the sake of battle damage.

There is absolutely no doubt about the judgment of the leader, and there is absolutely no element of worrying about bumping your head in and being violently beaten!

Absolutely not!

However, before they were worried for too long, the frontline fleet reported a very strange phenomenon.

"Most of their fleet has run away?"

Looking at the report in hand, the commander of the Ninth Fleet and the staff officer looked up at each other at the same time, reading the joy in each other's eyes.

They ran away!

What kind of fleet would choose to retreat and avoid war when it has home field advantage, wormhole blocking advantage, a large fortress and a habitable planet with many defensive platforms?

There is only one answer - they can't beat their fleet.

Although according to the report, the opponent's fleet did not completely run away, and about one-tenth of the fleet was left to block their forward fleet, apparently intending to collect some intelligence and obtain some performance data about their warships—however, None of this matters anymore.

The other side obviously has more information about their own side than they have about the other side. After all, these humans have the wreckage of the two warships of the swarms, so they can analyze their specific performance to a certain extent, but they can only rely on military exercises. With so little pitiful data, use the intelligent brains of intelligence personnel to supplement intelligence.

No matter how you look at it, the opponent's judgment on the combat power of both sides will be much more accurate than theirs.

That being the case, when the opponents with superior intelligence believe that a fleet of 20 billion tons (from Lupers' perspective) combined with the advantages mentioned above cannot defeat their two full-fledged main fleets, the answer is already ready. .

Opponents are not as powerful as they imagined.

Under those seemingly terrifying ultra-long ranges and flexible maneuvers, there must be hidden weaknesses that they don't know about and that have a fatal impact on the battle situation.

Of course, this may just be the opponent's tactic to delay the attack, planning to wait until the follow-up reinforcement fleet arrives before counterattacking—it doesn't matter, they didn't expect to be able to directly flatten the entire enemy star field with two main fleets, after all, now they even I don't know how many star fields there are, and I don't know how to push them if I want to advance.

They only need to know one thing, the fleet of the 40 billion Great Rupert Kingdom is stronger than the enemy's 20 billion fleet + fortress + defense platform - this means that their fleet has the same tonnage and has no multiples of their opponents level gap.

For the Great Rupert Country, knowing this is enough.

Since there is no huge generation gap in technology, the only thing to compete is production capacity.

This may be the situation that the Great Rupert Country most hopes to see.

From the Ruperstein star in ancient times to today's vast empire occupying more than 90 galaxies, the reason why the Lupers have been able to win many battles and continuously defeat those alien civilizations of all kinds depends on It has never been those fancy technologies, let alone the chaos advocated by those chaotic countries.
