After taking a big gulp of Nepeta tea, Halko immediately became energetic.
"Xingyu, you don't usually drink this kind of tea?" Halko grabbed a pack of Nepeta tea bags and sniffed deeply, letting out a long sigh of contentment.
Human Liaison Officer Cao Xinyu was well-informed, and he naturally knew... what the common name for Schizonepeta species was, so he shook his head and smiled, raised his neck and took a sip of coffee.
Catnip tea, he actually drank this stuff, but it was useless.
Only the Blue Stars...well, from this point of view, they are indeed cats.
With the blessing of catnip, Herko's fatigue was swept away, and then he strode into the command conference room.
Eighteen hours have passed since the early battle ended. During this period, Halko only rested for less than three hours.
Thanks to mankind's continuous automation transformation of warships in the past six months, although his original warships lost more than ten ships this time, the real casualties were not many. In addition, this battle was an encounter and annihilation battle for both sides.
It didn't take too long, so it was only necessary to send landing ships and salvage ships for salvage and rescue operations - these were all handled by dedicated people and did not require him, a former enemy commander, to worry about.
What he really has to worry about is the destination of the two fleeing enemy teams.
Now, the enemy's two remnants have less than six hours' flight left from their base camp, while the Cyprus fleet, which humans have never participated in the war, only needs about three hours to reach the enemy's base camp.
In other words, the battle will start in three hours at the latest.
According to common sense, those resource ships and functional ships in the enemy's base camp should have fled for their lives long ago.
But until now, the enemy's logistics ships still have not left, but have set up their formation.
This only shows that the command center's intelligence and analysis are correct - the enemy can also deliver a fleet over through their artificial jump generator.
After confirming this, the entire former enemy headquarters became extremely cautious.
Sitting at the conference table, Herko took the microphone, looked at the avatar in the middle of the video and said solemnly: "Is the Le Yi here?"
"Here." Chen Qiaosheng, the deputy captain of the Leyi and the deputy commander of the entire Raptor fleet, replied neatly: "Admiral Hai, please give me instructions."
The corner of Halko's mouth curled up slightly. He was particularly satisfied with the humans calling him "General Hai" - because there was no general in the entire human headquarters of the former enemy!
"Please report your current advancement formation."
"Yes, our current formation is a typical multi-layer arrow assault formation, with destroyers, high-speed battlecruisers and cruisers on the first layer, main battleships on the second layer, and logistics ships and flagships in the center."
"We are currently cooperating with friendly forces to pay close attention to the situation on the entire battlefield and be able to respond when the enemy's direction of travel and combat intentions change."
Halko nodded with satisfaction and glanced at his subordinates.
The subordinates smiled one after another and nodded humbly.
After living with humans for so long, they naturally know...the military professionalism of human commanders.
"Continue to maintain the direction of travel, especially pay attention to the enemy's movements at the north jump point."
"clear."
After Halko finished explaining, he looked at the sign of another battleship: "Baiqi."
"Here." The voice of He Chunlai, the deputy captain of the Baiqi, also sounded with a smile for the first time: "Mr. Hai, are you made of iron? Can you survive on only three hours of sleep for three days?"
As Yang Wenzhi's deputy, He Chunlai had known Hai Erke for a long time. Although he did not follow Yang Wenzhi and call him "Lao Hai", calling him "Mr. Hai" was always more cordial than General Hai.
After all... everyone privately calls him Ye Ming and Mr. Ye.
"Haha, I was just about to say, have you all had a rest?" Halko laughed and made the channel public.
In the conference room, the commanders of the other seven fleets came online one after another.
"Well, it seems that everyone can't sleep." Halko took another sip of Nepeta tea and took a deep breath: "There are still three hours left, and the Cypriot fleet will be in contact with the enemy, but the enemy is still not moving now.
, they must be trying to play tricks. Do you have any good ideas?"
He Chunlai's voice sounded: "According to what the Moon and Mercury said, the enemy should at least send a large-scale fleet over before they dare to be so rampant... They haven't moved yet, do you think they are waiting for an opportunity?
?”
Someone immediately asked: "What time are you waiting for?"
"I do not know."
Su Mingce, the fire control commander of the Wang Jian, said: "I have an idea. Do you think it is possible for them to bring another orbital ship to defend?"
As soon as he said this, his voice suddenly fell silent for two seconds.
At this time, Minsala's voice sounded. As the commander of the Silver Moon Fleet, she was also a female, so she rarely spoke, but every time she spoke, she was accurate: "Unlikely."
"Why?"
"Because the second-generation rice grains have dealt a huge blow to the enemy, I believe the enemy has never seen such weapons and attack methods." Mingsala spoke concisely, then paused and added: "We have to consider it from the enemy's standpoint."
Helko nodded slightly when he heard this.
He has stayed with humans for so long, and he has a good understanding of the behavior and style of human commanders.
Whether it is human commanders or commanding groups, there is no doubt that their professionalism is far beyond the currently known civilizations and even the executor corps.
But there is only one thing...human beings are too cautious.
They are accustomed to considering all problems, then slowly eliminating them, and finally choosing the best option.
For example, in the face of an unknown man-made jump, it is certainly possible to guess that the enemy will support any battleship coming over, but after seeing the powerful and elusive attack method of the coalition forces... the probability that the enemy can send another orbital ship to die is quite low.
Although orbital ships are indeed suitable for defense.
Of course, human commanders have another advantage, that is, they follow advice readily.
Su Mingce quickly accepted Mingsala's explanation: "Okay, then don't we just have to wait now?"
"It seems that... is coming!" Chen Qiaosheng, the commander of the Le Yi, said before he could finish his words, his voice suddenly rose a little higher: "The enemy has begun to leap!"
Halko looked stern and quickly sat upright. He pulled the microphone to the Mercury to his side and at the same time, his eyes quickly fell on the top of the star map.
At the top of the star map, a small purple dot suddenly appeared.
Taking a slow breath, Halko ordered in a deep voice: "Calculate the observation error, prepare the nearest battleship Mi Li, Le Yi, and the second-generation Mi Li. Once the number of enemy jumps exceeds the threshold, you will immediately release rice grains to destroy the jump generator.
, at the same time, the artificial jump device of the pump base can be pre-positioned."
"receive!"
"The rest of the fleet will carry out the final round of acceleration." Helko said while looking at his wrist.
Is it time to come?
At this moment, a steady and somewhat smiling voice suddenly sounded in the conference room.
"Frontline command center, this is the Mars, and I am Wang Chunyao, the captain of the Mars."
"Our troops have been assembled and can jump at any time."
