The strongest commander in the universe

And even if the combat power deployed in Vierras is very strong, Barbarot can still escape most of them through the jump after excluding the way of the stars, and will not be completely wiped out.

This step always requires him to go out, otherwise he will never be able to clearly know what is happening on the second arm now!

"Barbarot, I now issue a new order to you, immediately lead your fleet to jump to Taylor, and go to Serbia through the Star Road!"

"Marshal, isn't Serbia?"

Naturally, Barbarot had also read the report on Serbia.

"Yes, after you pass the way of the stars, if the other party is another third-level civilization, you will be destroyed directly, and then notify the Republic of Auer!"

"However, if the opponent is the Io Federation, you have to judge the specific situation. If you can beat them, kill them. If you can't beat them, use the leap to escape, and go deep into the second arm to perform your initial intelligence investigation mission!"

With Barbania's words, Barbarot was relieved.

After all, the marshal didn't let himself go hard, but just fight if he can beat it, and if he can't escape, it's fine. The risk factor is not high.

"Yes, Marshal, I'm leaving immediately!"

Half a month later, in the star system Taylor, the fleet under Barbarot's command regrouped.

This is the only node that is connected to the starless belt for another time, facing Shanhaiguan far away.

The stellar path is about 10 light-years long and takes more than three years to traverse.

Three million warships are gathering at the entrance of the Way of the Stars at the moment, and Barbarot is also a little emotional inside the flagship.

After all, when he was born, the Babavian Empire was already a fourth-level civilization. Since he was a child, Babarot has never walked the way of the stars!

Therefore, since he was a child, Barbarot believed that walking the way of the stars was a very shameful thing, but who would have thought that now he himself had to rely on the way of the stars to move forward.

"Command the fleet and start entering the Way of the Stars!"

"Yes, Commander Barbarot!"

Chapter 211

Orion's arm, the second arm portal Shanhaiguan.

"Commander, according to the last time we monitored the other party's information, all the warships that were exploring have jumped away, and after calculation, the direction of their jumps is all Taylor."

On the bridge of the Uranus, Liang Xue was reporting the latest information to Lin Fan.

"Well, the other party should have decided to go the way of the stars, and we have to step up our preparations!"

According to the information fed back by the Interstellar Great Wall monitoring network, Lin Fan easily judged that the other party should give up continuing to search for the jumpable area, and instead borrowed the way of the stars to cross the starless belt.

Lin Fan wasn't surprised by this. Rather, the biggest purpose of building the Interstellar Great Wall was to restrict the Babawi Empire, so that it could only advance through the way of stars, so that the defenders of Shanhaiguan had a greater defensive advantage.

"Help me convene all fleet-level and above commanders for a remote virtual meeting!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Ten minutes later, Lin Fan and Liang Xue came to an empty meeting room, but after Liang Xue operated the portable terminal on her arm, the scenery of the whole meeting room changed suddenly.

A small conference room that could accommodate a few people at most suddenly turned into a large conference room that can accommodate hundreds of people. Of course, this is the scene created by the virtual projection.

The 3 legion chiefs, 22 human commanders and 18 angel commanders were all seated.

"Everyone has arrived, let's start!"

Lin Fan, who came to the main seat, scanned the crowd and said immediately.

"First of all, I want to inform everyone that the Babawi Empire fleet, which has been looking for a breakthrough along the Great Wall of Stars, has now all assembled towards Taylor. According to my analysis, the other party should be unable to find a breakthrough. Next, choose to cross the starless belt through the star road between Taylor and Shanhaiguan."

"I believe everyone understands what this means. It means that our first confrontation with the Babawi Empire is about to begin! And the time will be three years later. The exact time will depend on when the opponent starts to enter the Way of the Stars!"

"At the same time, according to the information sent back by the Interstellar Great Wall monitoring network during this period, the number of the opponent's first offensive should be around 300 million warships, all of which are the main battleships of the Babawi Empire, and their performance is no worse than the main battleships of our Federation. How many!"

"At present, apart from the 98 warships guarding the border of the Aur Republic, we only have [-] warships at our disposal."

"How to fight this battle well, everyone can talk about their own ideas!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Fan stopped talking, but looked at the commanders below.

Although Lin Fan already had a plan in his mind on how to fight this battle, he also wanted to see what the legions and commanders under him thought.

For Lin Fan, he didn't want his subordinates to be a group of commanders who would only follow his orders to fight without thinking. Few people will one day need to be alone.

"report!"

Lin Fan followed the voice and looked over. The first one to speak was Boris, the commander of the Seventh Fleet of the Fifth Legion.

"Boris, it's okay to speak up if you have any ideas!"

"Yes, Commander! I suggest using a large-scale mine cluster to block the exit of the Way of the Stars."

Before Lin Fan could speak, many people saw Chris Rhodes, who was at the head of the Fifth Legion, covering his face with his hands.

"Okay, Chris, don't cover your face, tell him why you can't do this!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Bellinfan called the roll, and Chris had to stand up, then watched Boris speak.

"First of all, mines have limited damage to warships, especially warships with a fourth-level civilization, which can almost withstand the bombardment of dozens or hundreds of mines at the same time. Among the thunder clusters, a large safe area was knocked out."

"Secondly, when the enemy has opened up a safe zone among the mines at the cost of losing thousands of warships, should you attack or not?"

"If you attack, then you are cleaning your own mines. After all, at this time, the battleships in the area are protected by countless mines!"

"If you don't attack, then you can only watch the other party clean up the mines in the mine group, gradually expand the safe zone, and gather more warships! Not only that, the other party can also attack you without any hesitation. Open fire, after all, this mine group is not theirs, is it?"

After listening to Chris's words, Boris came to understand a little bit. Arranging a group of mines to blockade would not only fail to cause enough damage to the opponent, but would also tie his own hands and feet. It was indeed a bit stupid.

"I'm sorry, Commander, I was thinking too one-sidedly!"

"Okay, you two sit down, does anyone else have any ideas?"

Lin Fan didn't really care. After all, the members of the Fifth Legion didn't have any actual combat experience, so it's normal for them to miss many details.

After all, military academies don’t teach these things. Others, including Chris, also rely on years of experience in wars to gradually understand it by themselves!

After Chris and Boris sat down, another person raised his hand. Lin Fan looked over and found that it was another member of the Fifth Legion, this time it was Victor, the commander of its Third Fleet!

It seems that the members of the Fifth Legion are rushing to show off, but think about it. After all, the members of the Fifth Legion have not had any chance to perform since they arrived in Shanhaiguan.

Even when Lin Fan attacked before, he was accompanied by a few commanders of the First Legion.

"Victor, tell me!"

Immediately Lin Fan nodded towards Victor, letting him begin.

"Commander, I don't think we can completely hang on the defense line of the Way of the Stars. Although we do have an advantage in blocking the Way of the Stars, the opponent is a fourth-level civilization with energy shields. Therefore, this advantage will not be as good as that of a third-level civilization. As big!"

"If we stick to the Star Way defense line, we can indeed exchange a small loss for a large amount of damage to the opponent due to the gap in the number of people in the first period of time, but this time will not be very long. According to my estimation, it will be an hour at most. As the number of opponents gradually increases, our advantages will become disadvantages!"

"Therefore, my idea is to stick to the Way of the Stars first, but for half an hour at most. Once the number of the opponent's assembly exceeds 30, we should take the initiative to abandon the defense line of the Way of the Stars and withdraw to the second line of defense. The starry sky defense network we have built blocks enemy ships layer by layer."

"In addition, the mine swarm tactics mentioned by Boris just now, I think it can still be used, but it needs to be used in a different way!"

Victor kept talking about his thoughts, and Lin Fan listened with interest.

The strategy he mentioned was somewhat similar to Lin Fan's plan, but many issues in the details were not well considered.

But as a commander who has never participated in a large-scale interstellar war, being able to think of this step is enough to show his military talent.

This Victor is a good seedling, worth cultivating, Lin Fan couldn't help thinking so in his heart.

Chapter 212

Sitting on the main seat, Lin Fan looked at Victor and nodded, with a hint of appreciation on his face.

"Anyone else have anything to say?"

Lin gestured to Victor to sit down and continued.

"Commander, I also have some ideas!"

A female voice sounded, and Lin Fan knew who it was without even looking. After all, the voice was too familiar.

"Emma, ​​tell me!"

"Yes, Commander, I think the basic idea is similar to Victor's. We can't stick to the way of the stars, otherwise even if we can win, the casualties are not something we can afford! But I want to add a partial tactic in terms of details!"

"We can use these three years to manufacture a large number of rail guns and deploy them outside the opponent's detection range. Everyone knows that the rail gun projectiles are extremely small, and the projectiles themselves do not have energy. They can only be activated when they are extremely close. Get noticed!"

"Therefore, we use a large number of railguns to continuously cover and bombard a certain area, and then calculate the right time to lead the enemy to this area! At the same time, since what we have deployed is only a simple railgun device, not a battleship, so Ultra-precise layouts can be carried out to achieve dense coverage bombardment beyond common sense. Under this kind of bombardment, once it succeeds, even a fourth-level civilization will definitely not feel comfortable."

"And the most important thing is that rail guns are easy to manufacture and low in cost. We can produce tens of millions of them in three years without any problem. If conditions permit, we can even add a few small propellers to the rail gun. It is used to adjust and control its posture, so that the strike tactics can be used more flexibly!"

The railgun Emma mentioned is a weapon used by most level-[-] civilizations, and its power is slightly inferior to the energy weapons of level-[-] civilizations. After all, this is a purely physical brutal attack.

Generally speaking, in the third-level civilization, the rail gun is relatively developed, and can shoot projectiles at 0.5 times the speed of light. Its power should be slightly smaller than the ion beam cannon used on the battleship when humans were still a third-level civilization. About the same power.

However, railguns have an advantage, and that is range!

Although energy weapons are powerful, their range is limited. Take the plasma cannon currently used by humans as an example, 400 million kilometers is already the limit range.

The rail gun is different. As long as there is no obstacle in the path, the projectile can fly continuously. In theory, it can achieve an infinite range. Moreover, its projectiles are small and contain no energy, as Emma said, unless they are very close , otherwise it is difficult to be detected.

Therefore, Emma proposed to manufacture a large number of rail guns and use it as an ambush is also a very interesting tactic, and Lin Fan also thought it was very clever.

After all, this thing is easy to manufacture. With the current production capacity and resource supply of the Shanhaiguan Theater, it is really not a big deal to manufacture a quantity of 2 to 3 million within three years!

Moreover, the 0.5 times the speed of light mentioned before is only the limit of the third-level civilization. If humans produce rail guns, it is basically no problem to reach 0.7-0.8 times the speed of light.

The rail gun shoots out projectiles at 0.7-0.8 times the speed of light. Even if it is just a purely physical attack relying on savage impact, its power is already very close to the level of a fourth-level civilization.

"Commander, I also have some suggestions to share!"

Just when Lin Fan was thinking about the feasibility of the rail gun strategy, another female voice sounded. Speaking of which, Lin Fan was quite familiar with this female voice.

Standing up at this moment is Sofina Duncan of the Fifth Fleet of the First Legion.

Lin Fan raised his head and looked at Sophia, feeling a headache for a while, this crazy woman must not have anything good to say.

Speaking of which, Sophia is a good fighter in battle, but her personality really makes Lin Fan feel dizzy.

"Okay, Sophia, I understand your thoughts, you can sit down!"

"Commander, I haven't said anything yet!"

"I know, but I've already understood. Don't you just want to say let the enemy in, and then fight hard!"

"Yes, no, there are others!"

"Well, I understand, directly break through the enemy's formation to create chaos, and then look for opportunities to win in the chaos, right?"

"I……"

Sophia was a little confused, and the other commanders around knew Sophia's temperament very well. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help laughing.

It can be said that in the entire Shanhaiguan war zone, only Lin Fan, Liang Xue, and Emma could hold Sophia down.

Especially Lin Fan, who would often make Sophia speechless, and then Sophia, who was extremely depressed, would go back to Li Cangqiong to vent.

All the words he wanted to say were said by Lin Fan first. Sofia, who was extremely upset, sat down, and then stared fiercely at Li Cangqiong next to him.

It seems to be saying, go back and see you!

Li Cangqiong looked at Sophia's familiar eyes and threatening expression, and he was so stunned!

"Commander Lin Fan!"

A pleasant voice sounded again, and Lin Fan followed the direction of the voice, and found that the person who was going to speak was Bernice, the commander of the Second Army of the Queen's Guards of the Io Federation!

"Commander Bernice, please speak!"

"Commander Lin Fan, it's like this. In fact, we have quite a fleet in the rear. Even if we can gather tens of millions of warships, there is no problem! Moreover, the fleet can arrive here in three months through the wormhole, why don't we ask for support? ?”

This is also what Bernice has been wondering about. After all, the Human Federation and the Io Federation are not without support!

Shanhaiguan has only 108 million warships, of which only 98 warships can participate in this war, but the enemy has 300 million warships.

"Commander Bernice, in fact, this question is about our overall grand strategy."

"What is coming to us now is only a small part of the Babawi Empire. According to the analysis, it should be the vanguard, responsible for the secondary arm intelligence reconnaissance! And its main fleet, according to the previous intelligence of the Xi'an Alliance, wants to gather and arrive at Shanhaiguan. It needs at least more than ten years."

"And our base camp is now accelerating the unified operations of the secondary arm. At this time, it is not suitable to send troops to Shanhaiguan for support. After all, this will slow down the original combat arrangements of the base camp, and eventually lead to a real battle between us and the Babawi Empire. The unified operations have not been fully completed, leaving hidden dangers!"

"And the most important thing is that the base camp did ask if support is needed, and I am confident that we can rely on our own strength in the Shanhaiguan theater to defeat the fleet of the Babawi Empire! Therefore, I rejected the support proposal from the headquarters."

"Therefore, we can't let this early confrontation affect the entire Orion Arm battle!"
