"Quick, do everything quickly, we only have two days, we don't have time to slowly supply supplies!"
In every squadron, the commanders were roaring crazily.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy.
The fleet will set off in two days, and there is no time to slowly replenish supplies.
Almost everyone in the entire fleet is not idle, they are all busy.
Jiang Xingchen, on the other hand, was formulating a raid plan based on the information provided by Mu Qianshan.
Although all battleships of the First Fleet are equipped with hyperspace engines, this mission is still not easy.
Because the information Mu Qianshan received only knew that in the Osten star field, there were at least thirty star systems with new warship production lines.
But which star systems are specific, even if we rely on the prisoners' confessions, we only know three of them.
It has to be said that the Kerry Empire's confidentiality work is still very good. Even the people involved in this plan don't know much.
Therefore, this is destined to be a surprise attack that cannot be completed in a flash.
It is a process of repeated search-discovery-strike.
It can take as little as a few days, or as much as ten days and a half, to completely complete.
But the problem is, Guren is not a fool.
Will he do nothing for such a long time?
You know, that place is only about two hundred light years away from the capital of the Kairui Empire. It won't take much time for its army to rush over.
Therefore, before Jiang Xingchen starts the battle, he must find a way to lure all the main battleships of the Kerry Empire away, as far away as possible!
At least...
We must also ensure that they cannot interfere with themselves during the ten days and a half.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xingchen suddenly had an idea.
Immediately, he contacted Mu Qianshan.
------
A few days later.
Somewhere in the Milky Way, within the territory of the Kerry Empire.
"No, that's the Scorpion Star Bandits. Quick, contact the nearest guard fleet and ask for rescue!"
In the flagship of a caravan, when the captain discovered the identity of the fleet that appeared in front of him, his expression suddenly changed.
Since a few days ago.
This notorious Scorpion Star bandit gang went crazy and attacked everywhere in the empire.
Forget it if you plunder.
But the key point is that these guys not only robbed things, but also left no one alive.
"Captain, the guard fleet on the Gabby Administrative Star has responded, hoping we can hold on for two hours."
"Two hours...these wastes guarding the fleet are indeed unreliable!"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, the captain's face turned green.
The location where they are at the moment is only 10 light years away from the administrative star Gaby.
At this distance, the guard fleet can reach it in one jump. It only takes a few minutes, but the result...
You told me it would take two hours?
As for the reason, he could roughly guess it.
The local guard fleet is usually relatively lazy, after all, there are no combat missions all year round.
However, when not in a state of combat readiness, one or two hours would be considered quick just to gather the crew.
Soon, in just a few minutes, more than 20 merchant ships were paralyzed.
A large number of human beings' affiliated civilization personnel in the Large Magellanic Cloud, each wearing combat uniforms, entered these battleships.
The merchant fleet, which was originally a civilian fleet, was naturally no match for these warriors and encountered almost no resistance.
Following the same method as before, they robbed all the good stuff, arrested the commander of the caravan, and finally directly destroyed more than 20 merchant ships.
An hour later...
"Liu Tao, what do you think of this information?"
"What's there to see? It's obviously a game!"
"Is that really the case..."
After listening to Liu Tao's words, Mu Qianshan nodded, which was pretty much what he thought.
In the past few days, every time the high-level officials of the other party are arrested, they will reveal a piece of news after interrogation, that is...
There is a huge caravan escorting hundreds of cargo ships loaded with silver core ore, and will arrive in the Yax star system along the Selma route in a few days.
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this information.
but...
Almost every Kerry person who was captured and interrogated actually knew this news.
And whether it is time, route, or destination, everything is clear.
There's something wrong with this, right?
However, Liu Tao was a veteran star thief, and he knew at a glance that the Kerry Empire had set a trap to encircle and suppress them.
After all, he had seen this method so many times before that it was no longer unusual.
"Guess how many warships the Kaili Empire will send to participate in this encirclement and suppression plan?"
"Based on our usual capabilities, I'm afraid there are at least two thousand ships..."
After hearing Mu Qianshan's question, Liu Tao gave his answer after thinking carefully.
But Mu Qianshan was not very satisfied with this answer.
"The mission given to us by the military is to attract at least 80% of the empire's fleet. Two thousand ships is obviously too few."
"Two thousand ships are still less... Unless you broke into their imperial capital, why would they bring out tens of thousands of warships to surround you?"
"Imperial Capital... This is unexpectedly a good idea."
I don't know what Mu Qianshan suddenly thought of, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
This frightened Liu Tao.
I just complained casually, you really don’t want to fight in someone else’s imperial capital, do you?
Not to mention the empire's fleet...
I'm afraid that the starry sky defense network in the imperial capital alone can easily destroy all one hundred of our warships, right?
He didn't notice the change in Liu Tao's face next to him, while Mu Qianshan was just thinking about it...
How to turn this idea into an achievable battle plan.
------
Two days later.
The most famous trade route in the Kairui Empire.
Selma route.
A caravan consisting of dozens of warships escorted by more than 500 cargo ships is traveling along this route.
At this moment, they had just completed a jump and were staying in place, waiting for the jump engine to finish charging.
At this moment, another fleet suddenly jumped over.
It had just arrived and launched the attack without saying a word.
Although the thirty-eight guard warships reacted quickly, the gap in number and performance of the warships was too great, and they were no match at all.
Just one minute later, they were all blown up.
Originally, this caravan was in an extremely desperate state.
However, in one of the cargo ships, a young man wearing an imperial military uniform raised his lips slightly when he saw this.
He was the commander of the garrison in the Orion Arm, the Flood Star System, and the first commander of the Death Nebula Defense Line.
Today, he is the second-class fleet commander of the empire.
According to the system of the Kaili Empire, officers who can command the fleet are divided into seven levels.
That is, the third-class fleet commander, the second-class fleet commander, the first-class fleet commander, the third-class fleet commander, the second-class fleet commander, the first-class fleet commander, and the highest status...
Supreme Commander!
Once upon a time, Kyle was just a third-class fleet commander with a hundred or so warships under his command.
But today, ten years later, he is already the second-level commander and was directly promoted to the third level.
This is already considered a high-level official in the Imperial Military Department.
After all, if you continue to go up, there will only be the first-class fleet commander and the supreme commander.
And the reason why he appears here is because...
He is the commander-in-chief of this encirclement and suppression operation.
"Send my order and all fleets will take action immediately!"
