"This is what I'm thinking."
First, we can determine the direction of attack of this Saintess Legion fleet and deploy a large number of interstellar escort ships.
This was to defend against the enemy's first round of artillery fire.
In this way, we can determine the various combat stats, power, range, and so on of these enemy interstellar heavy artillery ships.
After knowing this information...
If we say that the interstellar heavy artillery ships equipped by the Saintess Civilization's legion fleet have a range comparable to our interstellar missile ships and interstellar heavy artillery ships.
Then we can completely engage in a firefight with the enemy, just as I said before!
First, let's assume that the enemy's interstellar heavy artillery ships have the same range as ours.
After our interstellar escort ships withstood an enemy offensive, we promptly deployed a number of interstellar heavy artillery ships and interstellar missile ships to this location to launch a counterattack.
Without the support of reinforcements.
"This is currently the only way we can counter the enemy's fleet of interstellar heavy artillery ships with minimal cost!" The young staff officer finished explaining his idea.
"What if their range is longer than ours?" a staff officer questioned.
"Then this method is useless."
"But now, besides this method which has a certain probability of being feasible, who else can come up with a tactic with a similar cost-effectiveness?" the young staff officer questioned, looking around.
Everyone fell silent.
indeed.
As things stand now.
The solutions they came up with all came at a heavy price.
For example, they could assemble their own interstellar assault fleets, consisting of interstellar cruisers and interstellar battlecruisers, to launch an attack on this enemy Saintess Civilization fleet.
This has a certain probability of success, but it will inevitably result in extremely heavy casualties!
It should be noted that in the current battle, their fighting will not receive any reinforcements from interstellar warships.
Prior to this, the Dragon Emperor had guaranteed the supply of strategic resources.
Therefore, so far, all the Dragon Legion fleets have been bombarding the enemy with all their might, in order to reduce the casualties of their own star fleets through firepower output.
The current situation of the 10th Legion of the Xiaolong is undoubtedly that they need to preserve their combat power, and the tactic of surprise attack is precisely what depletes their starships and other vital forces.
Therefore, the young staff officer's words hit them right where it hurt!
At this point, virtually all feasible tactical plans are out in the open.
As for which one to implement.
It all depends on the decision of Marshal Pei Shengnan, the supreme military commander of the 10th Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder.
At this moment, all the staff officers' eyes were on Marshal Pei Shengnan, waiting for her orders.
After a moment of silence, Marshal Pei Shengnan said with a firm gaze, "Now convey my orders."
From now on, we will execute the first operational plan.
Organize a large number of interstellar escort ships to prepare for the first wave of attack by the Saintess Interstellar Legion fleet.
Subsequently, a certain number of interstellar missile ships, interstellar heavy artillery ships, and Seraphim Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunter ships were organized!
These long-range firepower-deployed starships will be responsible for the counterattack after the enemy's first wave of attacks!
This operational plan was overseen by Staff Officer Miao.
Staff Officer Miao is the young staff officer who just made this suggestion.
This drew envious glances from many people.
If she can be in charge of formulating a battle plan, then if it succeeds, she will be indispensable.
There's even a chance he could be promoted three ranks and directly become the commander of a legion fleet.
In the current system of the Xiaolong Legion fleet, most commanders of large legion fleets will first serve as the chief of staff.
Only after receiving proper training and achieving some success will one truly become a commander of a large-scale fleet.
This can be considered a learning process.
When Staff Officer Miao heard this order, she was so excited that she was stunned for a moment. Then she straightened up and said, "Please rest assured, Marshal."
I assure you that an effective battle plan will be developed.
We guarantee that we will complete our combat mission and uphold the results of our 10th Flying Dragon Fleet!
Staff Officer Miao said with absolute certainty.
Marshal Pei Shengnan nodded, then looked at another experienced staff officer and said, "Staff Officer Chen is responsible for developing contingency plans in case the enemy's interstellar heavy artillery ships have a long range."
If it exceeds our effective counterattack range.
Then we'll implement our backup plan.
Organize a suicide squad composed of star cruisers and star battlecruisers, with the objective of targeting the star heavy artillery ships in the enemy's Saintess Legion fleet.
Eliminate them at all costs!
Marshal Pei Shengnan spoke with great seriousness when she said she would spare no expense.
This clearly shows that she is now aware of what the outcome would be if this battle plan were actually implemented.
This is something none of them wanted to see.
However, if Staff Officer Miao's operational plan cannot be implemented, then this is the only way to maintain the balance of the battlefield in the A-10 system.
In this way, the two operational plans were officially finalized.
The entire staff was divided into two groups: one group followed Staff Officer Miao, and the other group followed Staff Officer Chen.
Marshal Pei Shengnan glanced at the time and said, "You only have ten minutes to finalize the battle plan."
"I want to see your battle plan in ten minutes."
"Yes!" all the staff officers in the staff department said in unison, and then immediately began to work, not daring to waste any time.
As an experienced staff officer, Staff Officer Chen quickly began assigning tasks.
This was the first time that Staff Officer Miao had presided over the formulation of a combat mission.
But she remained calm and assigned tasks to everyone in her group.
This led everyone from initial worry to eventually following Staff Officer Miao's arrangements.
Everything went very smoothly.
All of this was under the watchful eye of Marshal Pei Shengnan.
Marshal Pei Shengnan looked at Staff Officer Miao, who was busy at work.
In her list, this Staff Officer Miao's rank has been significantly elevated.
Although not among the top.
But Marshal Pei Shengnan circled her name.
If this operation succeeds, then this Staff Officer Miao will become a key target for her to cultivate.
Of course, all of this depends on whether Staff Officer Miao's submitted results are satisfactory and convincing.
Time passed little by little.
At this time, Emperor Xiaolong took the initiative to contact Marshal Pei Shengnan.
Marshal Pei Shengnan saw Emperor Xiaolong on the other side of the video window and was the first to give a military salute.
"His Majesty."
"You should already know about the situation of the Saintess Legion fleet."
I thought you would ask me for help immediately.
Three to five minutes have passed, and I still haven't received your call.
"You must have already come up with a solution, right?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
Zhao Chen naturally also had a copy of the intelligence information that the Ghost Scout Ace Fleet had previously gathered.
The enemy, on the other hand, has an elite fleet with a large number of interstellar heavy artillery ships.
This led Zhao Chen to subconsciously believe that the 10th Legion Fleet of the JF-17 Thunder was something he couldn't face alone.
They will definitely come to him for support.
But to my surprise, it never came.
Unable to contain himself, Zhao Chen had no choice but to take the initiative to contact Pei Shengnan.
"Yes.
"We have already prepared two plans," Marshal Pei Shengnan said.
Although I already knew this would be the outcome.
But Zhao Chen still asked in surprise, "Tell me, what is your battle plan?"
Pei Shengnan then told Emperor Xiaolong all about the previous battle plan.
After listening to the main battle plan, Zhao Chen was very surprised.
"Cannon fodder exchanging blows?"
Do you have that much confidence?
"You must know, those three Saintess Legion fleets have 900,000 interstellar heavy artillery ships," Zhao Chen said seriously.
Marshal Pei Shengnan smiled slightly and said, "There are indeed 900,000 interstellar heavy gunships, but they are not all T6 interstellar heavy gunships, nor are they all T5 interstellar heavy gunships."
I read the intelligence report from the Ghost Scouts Ace Fleet.
Of these 900,000 interstellar heavy gunships, more than half are actually T4-class interstellar heavy gunships.
T5-class interstellar heavy artillery ships only account for 40% of them.
The number of T6-class interstellar heavy artillery ships is only 50,000.
Furthermore, we have observed these 50,000 T6-class interstellar heavy artillery ships.
Some of them are light-duty interstellar gunships, but their firepower is not very strong.
Therefore, the actual threat that these 900,000 interstellar heavy gunships pose to us on the battlefield is not as great as we might imagine.
And you should know that this is our JF-17 Tenth Legion Fleet Group.
The interstellar missile ships and interstellar heavy artillery ships they are equipped with are all extremely powerful in combat.
It's far superior to ordinary interstellar warships of the same type!
Even the Devouring Civilization pales in comparison, let alone the Saintess Civilization, which, like the Devouring Civilization, is a minion of order.
Hearing Marshal Pei Shengnan's spirited speech, Zhao Chen didn't try to persuade her any further.
Zhao Chen has always been willing to delegate authority to the legion fleets below him, especially in combat.
They were all allowed to fight according to their own ideas!
So, since the 10th Legion Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder has already made plans to fight like this...
All Zhao Chen could do was offer his silent support.
"Okay, I understand."
Proceed according to your plan. If any special circumstances arise, contact me immediately!
"I wish you all the best!" Zhao Chen said, and without further ado, ended the call.
Zhao Chen knew that every minute was crucial for the upper echelons of the 10th Legion Fleet of the JF-17 Thunder.
Communication ended.
Zhao Chen took a deep breath.
"You really have complete faith in them that they can accomplish this arduous combat mission."
"It's not that I doubt the combat capabilities of the 10th Legion Fleet of the JF-17, but the enemy they are about to face is indeed too strong." The secretary said hesitantly beside Zhao Chen.
"Since they all agreed, it means that they are at least confident in the plan internally."
It's simply a matter of probability of completion.
Even in battle, it's impossible for our command to guarantee absolute success in every engagement.
After saying all this, Zhao Chen added, "But we do need to make some corresponding preparations."
Relay my orders.
Immediately contact headquarters and inform them of the upcoming operational plan for the 10th Legion Fleet of the JF-17 Thunder.
If they were to engage in a direct confrontation with the Saintess Legion's fleet, the consumption of strategic resources such as interstellar missile ships would be enormous.
Ensuring their logistical supplies must be a top priority!
"Yes." The secretary immediately wrote down the request.
Zhao Chenyong continued, "Although we said before that we would not provide additional troop support to each battlefield."
However, the 10th Legion Fleet of the Xiaolong was facing enemy reinforcements, a fleet of three million Saintess Legion ships with such powerful firepower.
I then issued another order: all elite fleet groups should prepare for battle.
Ready to provide support at any time!
"yes!"
Upon hearing Emperor Xiaolong's words, the secretary finally understood Emperor Xiaolong's thoughts.
Since that's what the 10th Legion Fleet Group of the JF-17 thinks, let them go ahead and do it without worry.
No matter what the final outcome is, they will always be there to support us, so things won't get too bad.
Thus, the JF-10 Legion fleet in the A-10 star system battlefield began to silently execute two sets of combat plans.
In the dark sky in the distance, the fleet of the Holy Maiden Legion, which had come from afar, began to gradually open its abyssal maw, revealing its ferocious fangs.
On the other side, under the direct orders of Emperor Xiaolong.
At the main base of the Dragon Star Empire, Secretary Lilith had made preparations well in advance, mobilizing some interstellar transport and supply ship fleets to prioritize ensuring the battlefield in the A-10 system.
The consumption of combat resources in the upcoming battle.
After receiving orders from Emperor Xiaolong, each of the elite fleet groups was prepared to respond to any battle at any time.
At this moment, many people's eyes were focused on the battlefield in the A-10 star system.
Because there was an extra player on the chessboard, a player I'd never seen before.
Everyone wants to know just how good this chess player is.
Therefore, all the commanders and officers of the JF-17 who were not engaged in combat were closely watching the battle of the JF-17 10th Legion fleet in the A-10 star system.
Even the commanders of other JF-17 fleet groups still engaged in battle would take time to keep a close eye on the situation.
Because they might also face an attack from this Saintess Legion fleet, it would be helpful if they could know some of the enemy's combat data in advance.
That would undoubtedly be a huge help to them in the battles to come.
