Charlotte explained her arrangements to Zhao Chen and Lilith one by one.
The process simply involves categorizing the interstellar warships withdrawn from the battlefield according to their combat status.
The most crucial step is to first arrange for that portion of the Warframes to undergo repair and resupply.
The first batch selected were interstellar warships with minimal damage that only required short-term resupply.
This cycle takes less than three days.
Three days later, this portion of the interstellar warships can be directly deployed to the front lines to fight.
Next are the interstellar warships with moderate damage.
Since a number of interstellar warships are already on the front lines, there is no need to rush the subsequent deployments.
As for the third batch, it depends on the situation on the front lines.
If the battle becomes intense, a large number of interstellar warships will be needed to reinforce the front lines.
Then we should send a batch of interstellar warships that can be quickly repaired and resupplyed to the front lines.
If the situation is relatively calm, then we can continue to proceed gradually.
With this arrangement, the Dragon Star Empire's fleet can achieve its best results with minimal casualties.
This series of arrangements seems very simple.
However, in practice, it requires close cooperation among various departments.
"I have assigned this task to both Chief Engineers, Annie and Nana, to be in charge."
"The two of them are capable enough to shoulder this responsibility," Charlotte said.
Zhao Chen nodded, then said, "Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've seen Annie and the others."
It seems I need to find some time to visit and offer my regards to these former subordinates.
Hatcho
Chief Engineer Anne was in her office, sporting dark circles under her eyes, looking like she might collapse at any moment.
She looked at the interstellar warships waiting for repair and resupply through several holographic windows in front of her.
Especially those interstellar warships that need repair.
For these engineers, building an interstellar warship is far easier than repairing one.
This does not mean that building a starship takes less time than repairing it.
That's naturally impossible and unrealistic.
If that's the case, then why bother repairing it? Let's just build it from scratch.
This means that in the same amount of time, building a starship is more difficult and time-consuming than repairing one.
After all, building interstellar warships, apart from the first batch of new ship types, involves subsequent batches built as production lines mature and pilots become more skilled.
Engineers only need to be responsible for less than 1% of the process.
But repairing a starship is a different story.
Especially those interstellar warships with internal performance or software program errors.
An ordinary pilot might not be able to find where the problem lies.
This requires engineers to go out in person.
The vast majority can be repaired successfully.
While some parts can be repaired, the process involved can be quite time-consuming and demanding for an engineer.
Anne had previously undergone a repair procedure that nearly broke her down.
A starship was almost repaired.
As a result, there is an extra hub node!
She saw the repaired starship and then looked at the nexus node in front of her, where just one person was positioned.
This thing looks like this, but for much larger interstellar warships...
Its extent is equivalent to that of a screw in a car!
The only solution is to scan the interstellar warship again, disassemble the previously disassembled parts once more, and reassemble this'screw'.
But what's even more devastating is when...
The screw was put back in, but two more sub-engines appeared on the control panel next to it...
That day, Annie wanted nothing more than to devour the entire starship.
Therefore, repairing a starship is far more difficult than building one.
That's the reason.
"Who's talking about me behind my back?" Annie muttered resentfully.
Since this batch of interstellar warships, withdrawn from the battlefield of the Oath of Duel, returned here, these technicians have had almost no chance to rest.
If she knew that the Dragon Emperor was still thinking of her and wanted to come and visit her, that would be a great help.
She'd probably jump right onto the dock deck, point at Zhao Chen, and say, "Don't come any closer!"
If you come any closer, I'll jump.
Every time this guy comes to see me, it's never anything good.
At this moment, Zhao Chen naturally had no idea that his sudden 'concern' would make Annie so embarrassed.
“You’ve come back this time.”
You can take a break and rest for a couple of days.
You and Charlotte are the same.
You two have sworn to fight this time, and it's been almost half a year since you've seen any of the children.
Upon returning, he immediately went to provide support in the Flower Fairy Federation Tribe's cosmic battlefield.
"Now that we've finally returned to Chang'an City in the Xiaolong Galaxy, we're here for a meeting." Secretary Lilith looked at the two of them with a hint of helplessness.
Zhao Chen and Charlotte exchanged a glance; to be honest, they both did miss having a child.
Becoming a parent has brought completely different feelings than before.
In the past, when leading a fleet across the battlefield, one could disregard life and death.
But now, once they relax, they think of the children.
Therefore, during the duel, he and Charlotte dared not let their guard down for a moment.
Even now, he has returned to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, to the Xiaolong Galaxy, and to Chang'an City.
I still subconsciously assign myself heavy tasks.
"Lilith is right."
After the meeting, don't rush to deal with things.
"Let's go see the children, the three of us." Zhao Chen looked at Lilith and Charlotte.
Charlotte hesitated for a moment.
Lilith immediately said, "Anyway, on the front lines, the Conqueror Civilization's fleet has not shown any signs of expanding its offensive."
Our starships need repair and resupply again.
Taking a day off is no problem.
Don't put yourself under too much pressure; sometimes you need to think about what you're striving for.
What are we striving for?
Upon hearing this, Charlotte's mind was filled with images of the children.
The soft spot in the heart of this great marshal who had dominated the interstellar battlefield was severely touched.
She nodded in agreement.
After the three finished their discussion, they determined their core direction.
The next step was naturally the plenary meeting, and almost everyone who was supposed to attend was present.
The first half of the meeting was to summarize the situation on the battlefield of the oath-taking duel, and to give special praise to some commanders and fleets who performed well in this war.
It was also emphasized that the rewards for the lower-ranking soldiers must be distributed in the shortest possible time.
As for the middle and upper-level officers and generals, due to the current special circumstances, they will first receive verbal praise, and the final rewards will be determined after the war with the conqueror civilization ends.
None of the marshals and officers present had any objections to these arrangements.
They were all aware of the current situation in the Dragon Cluster. Although the Oath Duel had ended, the Conqueror Civilization, an invading force, still existed within this cluster.
It's too early to talk about rewards if we don't drive this intruder out.
In this process, in addition to the commanders and soldiers on the front lines, the heads of departments responsible for rear management, production, transportation, and logistics were also commended.
"The reason we were able to achieve such a great victory in this sworn battle is..."
It wasn't just the valiant fighting of the various corps and fleets at the front lines that contributed, but also the cooperation of our comrades in the rear.
"If it weren't for the efforts of everyone in the rear, we would never have been able to win this war." These words were spoken by Zhao Chen himself, as the Emperor of the Dragon.
Later in the meeting, I explained the current situation of the X-Dragon universe cluster, as well as some combat data from the previous battles against the Conqueror civilization.
But let's take a look at the situation on this new battlefield.
The meeting concluded with details of the short break period.
Besides the need for starships to be repaired and resupplyed, soldiers and commanders at all levels naturally also need to relax and rest.
After half a year of war, many people's mental state has been pushed to the limit. If they don't relax and rest, many of them will really go crazy.
There are specific guidelines for taking a break.
Whoever rests first, rests later.
How you arrange your rest time is very important.
After all, this is not as simple as just giving a few hundred or a few thousand interstellar warships a vacation.
This involves the deployment of tens of millions of interstellar warships and hundreds of billions of combat personnel.
This is also a lot of work.
The entire meeting lasted nearly six hours.
This was only because Lilith's secretary kept streamlining the meeting content; otherwise, the meeting would probably have lasted for several days.
This is also because the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has truly become a large and powerful entity.
There are not only local universes, but also many affiliated universe civilizations that need to be addressed.
One small change can have far-reaching consequences.
After the meeting.
As agreed beforehand.
Zhao Cheng, Lilith, and Charlotte each finished explaining their work and then prepared to go on a short vacation.
Dragon Emperor Star Command Ship - Bridge
There are one-third fewer people on the bridge today, as they have all been given time off.
The remaining personnel are on duty and on standby.
Since there was nothing important, there was no tense atmosphere. Some people weren't even wearing their military uniforms; some were just chatting and eating in their most comfortable clothes.
Those who don't know would probably never guess that this is actually the flagship of the Dragon Emperor.
Zhao Chen permitted this situation; in fact, he directly arranged it.
During wartime, everyone needs to be fully prepared.
During breaks, everyone should relax however they like.
Do whatever makes you happy.
Even Zhao Chen's secretary set up a table next to the bridge and pulled three other people there to play a game called mahjong.
With her imposing presence, anyone who didn't know better would think she was commanding a massive army in battle.
Charlotte wasn't idle either; she pointed to the gifts inside the gift boxes in front of her.
"This is a gift for Bai'er."
"This is a toy for Xiaohu."
"And this is for Lily."
"There's more here..." Charlotte was no longer acting like a Grand Marshal; she was simply a mother missing her child.
She was afraid that the gifts she prepared for the children might be missing something.
Finally, he looked at Lilith and asked, "Lilith, do you think what I've prepared is enough?"
Have the three children found anything new they like lately? I'm going to order some; it should still be in time for them to arrive.
Lilith looked at the three mountain-like gift boxes.
She said helplessly, "Charlotte, you've only been away from the children for less than half a year."
It's not been ten or twenty years since I left.
The gifts you've prepared are more than enough.
And for the children, just being able to meet them in person is already the best gift!
Hearing Lilith's words, Charlotte realized that she had gone a bit too far.
However, after not seeing her three children for six months, she felt filled with guilt.
I wanted to use this method to make up for some of this guilt.
Just then, a video window popped up in Zhao Chen's view.
Zhao Chen frowned.
He had given instructions before setting off, outlining the next 24 hours.
Unless it's something extremely important, don't bother him.
How long has it been since you contacted him?
But when Zhao Chen saw the contact person, he was stunned for a moment.
Because the one who contacted him was none other than the Flame Elf King Salamander... though now he might only be able to call him Salamander.
Zhao Chen answered the call without hesitation.
Saloman's position in his eyes is special.
Although she is the Elf Queen of the Holy Elf Empire, she is a person with a very broad perspective.
She knows exactly what she should do now, and she will step forward to do what needs to be done.
In this defensive war against the conqueror civilization, if it weren't for Salamander's tactical arrangements...
It was simply impossible for the interstellar legion fleets of the native civilization of the Xiaolong universe cluster to hold out until the arrival of the Xiaolong interstellar legion fleet.
For this, Salamander was even willing to give up his reputation and his status as the Elf King.
Even at the very end, she made the worst-case scenario plan.
Whether it's being branded a criminal and tried by the courts of the Holy Elf Empire, or being imprisoned on some unknown planet for the rest of their lives.
She had already made all these preparations.
However, unexpectedly, even in the end, Zhao Chen, the Emperor of the Dragon, did not abandon this hero.
He would not allow the hero to suffer any injustice in front of him.
Therefore, he made arrangements for his personnel well in advance, and even used his status as the leader of the Dragon Star Empire to suppress the people of the Holy Elf Empire before they could act.
They've made their stance clear.
This Salamander is safe with our Dragon Star Empire.
It's no use who comes.
And perhaps it was because of this that some changes occurred in the Flower Fairy Federation Tribe Universe.
With Salamander commanding the battle in the Flower Fairy Federation's universe, and with the arrival of the Flame Elf King's Royal Guard fleet and the Kaguya Elf Clan's fleet to provide support.
