In the conference room, Chris looked at the generals who came to attend the meeting, as well as the ministers sitting opposite the generals.
Waggron sat on the left hand side of Chris, and beside him sat the top generals of the space army, Tuk and Merian, who were able to attend this military meeting.
Genesis is presiding over the experiment of a new super battleship in the Dothan area, which may be one of the most important tasks of the Space Force at this stage. So he did not rush back to attend this meeting. Anyway, whether he came or not, the content of the meeting
It will be copied to him quickly.
As one of the generals of the Space Force, Maher is introducing the information the military has obtained: "Right now, we don't know what the situation is with Higgs 5. We can't contact it, and we haven't rashly opened it.
Portal reinforcements."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Chris and continued: "Marshal Lawns has ordered the fleet to assemble in the direction of Higgs 5... General Plunk's fleet will be ready in 2 hours at the earliest.
Once we arrive, the exact news will be sent back."
Another general added: "We don't know what the other party is yet, and we don't know any other information. We only know that the other party is near the planet Higgs 5. We don't even know whether that weird ball is still there."
It’s not there anymore.”
This may be one of the few issues of great pressure that the military has faced since the founding of the Airanhill Empire.
Many young veterans can even recall the oppressive feeling they had to deal with in the past when they had to try their best to face senior magicians.
At that time, in order to prevent magicians from raiding Chris, Eiland Hill had to carry out a nuclear bundling strategy, using nuclear weapons to intimidate those magic masters who might assassinate Chris.
Of course, later on, Vivian accidentally became a nightmare for the Air Force. How to intercept Vivian became the Air Force's biggest research topic for a long time.
Later, as new aircraft entered service one after another, this problem was finally solved. However, "beating Vivian" is still a joke in the Air Force fighter force, and everyone still mentions it from time to time.
Now, another such problem appears in front of everyone: the other party seems to have the ability to defeat the Eilanhir Empire.
General Tuke took over the conversation and said to Chris and Marshal Wageron: "Your Majesty, Marshal! General Plenacre has called back. He will lead the fleet to enter the battlefield cautiously. His plan is to collect as many people as possible
information and send back the exact information.”
Wageron nodded with satisfaction and said to Chris: "Your Majesty, General Plunkeye is still trustworthy. As long as he can bring back accurate information, we can formulate a more targeted plan."
"We have lost two destroyers, so it is certain that the other party has the ability to destroy our spacecraft in the universe." Chris reminded: "So, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful! Tell Pulun Ai
Ke! Focus on collecting intelligence, and attack the enemy according to your ability!"
"Understood! Your Majesty! I will send the order to Plunkeye immediately!" Tuke nodded, and then motioned to the colonel sitting behind him to send Chris' order.
"From the analysis of the returned intelligence, at least the other party is not afraid of our 500 mm caliber electromagnetic gun... This means that most destroyer guns cannot cause damage to the ball." Wageron has also read the analysis.
The information came out, and he expressed concern about it.
If the battleship's main gun cannot penetrate the opponent's defense, then the most numerous space destroyers in the Airanhill Empire will be of little use.
When a war does break out, and only relying on a small number of cruisers to fight, the scale of the Airanthil Empire's space fleet will seem a bit stretched.
"Have you tried energy torpedoes?" Obviously, as a representative of the military, General Tuke is more concerned about how many weapons the space army has left to deal with the enemy.
If energy torpedoes work, it means that the destroyer fleet will take the risk to rush into the distance of launching energy torpedoes to carry out the attack.
This is much more dangerous than using an electromagnetic gun to fire hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers away. If not, the battleship will be lost and the battle will be fought by exchanging lives with the opponent.
"Iron Spear tried it, but then their communication was interrupted. We don't know whether the energy torpedo had the desired effect." Maher is also the commander of the first-line fleet, and he is familiar with technical issues.
So he opened his mouth and answered.
"In other words, if you don't understand the opponent's level of force and strike back hastily, more losses will occur?" When this matter was mentioned, Des, who was sitting opposite the military, frowned and interjected.
Now that a war breaks out, it means spending countless gold coins. These expenses will seriously affect the empire's economy, and will also cause the tension that has just eased to erupt again.
You know, the empire carried out a partial mobilization half a year ago, and it has just returned to normal. If you want to tell the people that war has broken out again, anyone else would question it.
Wageron had no choice but to respond to Des's question on behalf of the military: "Master Prime Minister! The military has no reason to sit idly by and ignore the enemy's invasion! Can we wait until the other party really captures the planet Higgs 5 before we can take it seriously?
stand up?"
"I hope that after a large number of new warships are put into service, we can start counterattack! This can reduce losses!" Des argued.
Wageron shook his head and said: "The construction of the Violent Level 2 cruiser has begun. We need time to improve the combat capability of the fleet! But this is not an excuse to avoid war. We need to understand our enemy. This is work that must be done.
."
"Are you sure they are enemies? If it's just another interstellar civilization, is it possible to make good friends with them?" Marvin, who is in charge of diplomatic work, asked. He felt that he should fight for some work for himself.
He had been dissatisfied with his performance on Hope 2 before, when he was more of a warrior than a diplomat.
"You mean, negotiation? I don't think it's necessary. Even if we really want to negotiate, we have to wait until we avenge the sinking of the two destroyers!" Wageron shook his head again.
Chris didn't wait for others to speak, and expressed his attitude: "I also think it is a very stupid thing to send someone to contact the other party before you have a clear understanding of the other party's intentions!"
