Chapter 508 The Eve of the Battle of Xieluo

[From the outbreak of the Xieluo War: 24 galactic hours.]

Near the Imperial Star Circle, the newly established ‘Operation Command Center against Luofeng’ is located on the command ship Asalu.

The Imperial Guard 2.0 system has completed the framework assembly of the five battle clusters. What needs to be done now is to fill these five battle clusters.

The commander-in-chief of this ‘punitive army’ is General Akzi, an imperial general and an honorary duke. He is ninety-six years old and has rich experience in commanding battle formations.

Before the rise of Thomas, the "new star" in the imperial military, Akzi was the "old star" with the most conspicuous military achievements in recent decades;

It is obviously a wise move to hand over the crusade against Luofeng to General Akzi.

General Akzi has a little personal quirk.

He likes regularity and symmetry. He always talks about the saying "Symmetry can create beauty, and regularity can highlight civilization" to highlight his liking for some space opera-type literary and artistic works.

Therefore, after establishing the command structure of the crusade, he returned to his lounge, looked at his square face in the mirror, trimmed his neat eyebrows bit by bit, and thought about the next enemy.

Fallen Alliance.

If someone had told Aziz a few galactic hours ago that the entire battle group of the empire would be eaten by someone in less than two galactic hours, then Aziz would definitely have given the person who spoke the words a loud and loud blow.

.

The empire's battle group is not only formulated based on the upper limit of the command system's capacity, but also takes into account all aspects.

When an entire battle group of the Empire is ambushed, the Empire will dispatch fleets as quickly as possible to support;

To take a step back, if there is an entire battle group, two to three thousand main battleships, and the firepower of the dreadnoughts, why can't they break through?

Akzi believed that the millions of imperial soldiers in the annihilated battle group were not all fools.

But the fact is that they failed to break out and wait for the reinforcements sent by the empire.

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

It can be seen from this that the Luofeng Alliance is an enemy that must not be underestimated.

Akzi hummed a gentle melody.

He likes decent opponents.

In the seventy-two years he has been in the army, he has experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, most of which are extremely boring, plundering resources and sending some ships to show off their power to those weak political systems. If

If the other side dares to resist, then destroy the other side's military facilities and capture a group of 'war criminals' to fill the empire's demand for slaves.

The three expeditions to the New Federation became a performance stage for those young generals, who just turned around a few times on the edge of the stage;

Naturally, he participated in the whole process of fighting against the 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, an energetic shout came from the side.

Akzi's hand holding the tweezers did not shake at all. He moved his eyes and saw the middle-aged officer through the mirror.

"speak."

"yes!"

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

"Currently! Four-fifths of our army has gathered. The nobles' private fleets have been reorganized smoothly. There are still some nobles' fleets that have not yet set sail. We have issued a urging order!

"The Council of Elders has completed the docking with us, and now you have the full power to command all members of the noble fleet!

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

Akzi stopped and frowned slightly.

Oh, when he frowned, his forehead lines were always not completely symmetrical, which made Akzi quickly regain his calm expression.

"I hate politics.

"You go and vaccinate those noble gentlemen. Next, you must obey my order completely and ask the military department to dispatch more military police units to garrison the private fleets of these nobles.

"At the same time, I will report to the military department that I will make a judgment based on the war situation to achieve the greatest possible victory in the war, and I will not care about whose fleet is sent forward.

"If these noble fleets slip up at a critical moment, I won't have any tolerance for them."

"yes!"

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

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

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

Could it be that you want these nobles to sacrifice more to reduce domestic pressure?

If that were the case, it would be so happy.

Akzi certainly knew that these noble private ships would be uniformly deployed by the Imperial Guard 2.0 system. He only needed to issue tactical orders during wartime, and Imperial Guard 2.0 would adapt itself.

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

This system should be more powerful. After all, the Imperial Guard system is an antique tens of thousands of years ago, and there is no way that the current empire is even more backward than the empire of tens of thousands of years ago.

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

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

This is the only mission he has to fulfill.

…

[From the outbreak of the Xieluo War: 16 galactic hours].

Yang Ming stretched and walked out of the captain's lounge of a heavy battleship.

This heavy battleship numbered '0126' is somewhat special.

There are three thousand crew members on it, all of them are high-simulation robots covered in human skin, and their cores are mechanical thinking bodies born from Dark Star; and this ship is the command of a battleship group with two thousand mostly human crew members.

ship.

In the ensuing war, it was obviously unwise for the Dongfeng to show up.

——When the Dongfeng took action before, it was also mixed in the fleet, and it used a three-dimensional camouflage image.

Yang Ming was wearing a loose military uniform and walking in the corridor. When the passing crew members saw Yang Ming, they would stand upright beside him, perform imperial military salutes, and shout the word "Father" in their hearts.

"Commander arrives on the bridge!"

Following the gentle female voice announcement, Yang Ming sat in the suspended seat that floated over to the captain's seat in the center of the spacious bridge.

Several rays intertwined to form the figure of Lu.

"Boss, have you had a rest?"

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

Lu immediately pulled out a simplified version of the star map, which was marked with densely packed ship icons.

"Currently, the empire has assembled five battle groups, with more than 13,600 combat ships and five dreadnoughts.

"There are also scattered private fleets of nobles that are constantly being added. It is expected that the number of combat ships will reach more than 16,000. It is not sure whether there will be a sixth dreadnought. The empire currently has no dreadnoughts under maintenance.

There are eight ships available for mobilization.

"It is worth mentioning that among these 16,000 battleships, less than half are the Sherman Empire's regular troops."

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment: "They really want to play this way? Do they really want the noble fleet to account for more than half of the empire's current assembled strength?"

"Yes, boss," Ritsu couldn't help laughing, "The empire wants to use us as a whetstone to suppress the aristocratic power of the empire. Although I haven't found any evidence, I feel like this is what Director Ino is good at.

Those are the moves that people will make."

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

Lu asked: "What's wrong, boss?"

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

"able!"

Lu’s answer was very confident:

"Boss, look... our preset battlefield is here, inside the Luofeng Alliance border.

“The main reasons for choosing this place are: First, this airspace has less gravitational interference and is suitable for large army deployment and tactical maneuvers.

"Second, if the empire's 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 of the ambush troops to outflank and harass the imperial fleet from the rear."

"Have you considered reinforcements from Guel and the United Free States?"
