The influence of the Dragon Source Crystal incident was truly enormous. Lan Xuanyu's Doutian mission was rated level eight, which was definitely well-deserved. It was even a bit low.
Of course, the credit should go more to Nana. Without Nana's rescue, they would never have survived the hands of Tianlong's clone.
Long San Command Headquarters.
Yan Xinghe walked down from the command platform, took off his military jacket, and stretched his body. His face was full of smiles.
This great victory is too important for the Douluo Federation. The Seventh Fleet suffered minimal losses. Undoubtedly, the next step is to plunder resources. Taking advantage of this opportunity, although it is impossible to really defeat the Longma Galaxy, the benefits gained will definitely not be small.
"Xuanyu! On behalf of all the soldiers, thank you. If it weren't for your initial discovery, we might have been the ones defeated now." Yan Xinghe said sincerely to Lan Xuanyu.
"This is what we should do." Lan Xuanyu said hurriedly.
Although they did not actually go to the battlefield this time, being at the Long San Command Headquarters and watching Yan Xinghe command the Long San battleship to fight on the battlefield was a process that was of great help to them in accumulating experience.
Lan Xuanyu carefully observed every order issued by Yan Xinghe. Long San commanded nearly 40 warships, and under his orders, he was able to control them as easily as if they were his own arms. He mainly commanded the battleships, and then passed down the orders through the battleships.
A large number of warships were destroyed one after another, and every effort was made to ensure the survival of our own forces and reduce losses.
Lan Xuanyu discovered that the command of such a large warship is completely different from that of a small or medium-sized warship. For example, the firing of the main gun of the Dragon III warship is often not to kill the enemy, but to strategically divide the battlefield, protect friendly forces, support companions, etc.
Yan Xinghe's command did not seem complicated, but it gave him a feeling of being in control of the entire situation.
Sitting in the center, he was neither impatient nor impatient. He would rather reduce the harvest and try his best to protect his own warships from loss. Such a general would definitely be loved by the soldiers.
Everyone wants to achieve success, but no one is willing to sacrifice blindly. Yan Xinghe is able to become the chief officer of a Dragon King-class frigate at such a young age. He is definitely a real talent. He commanded this war, and Lan Xuanyu learned a lot.
Yan Xinghe waved to Lan Xuanyu and the others, signaling them to follow, then turned and walked out of the command center.
Lan Xuanyu and the other seven hurriedly followed. Yan Xinghe took them to the exclusive rest area for senior officers behind the headquarters, and someone immediately served them drinks, food, and fruits.
Yan Xinghe motioned for the seven of them to sit down, and said with a smile: "How do you feel about this battle?"
"Insidious! Oh, no, wise, it's wise." Qian Lei blurted out, but realized it was wrong after he said it, and quickly changed his words.
Yan Xinghe laughed and said, "Yes, it's insidious. On the battlefield, people will do anything to achieve their goals. Moral values and the like only make sense if you survive first. Staying alive is the first secret on the battlefield. Only by staying alive can everything be possible. If you die, there will be nothing."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Lan Xuanyu, "Do you think our operations are a bit conservative?"
Lan Xuanyu said: "No, being conservative can ensure that our losses are as small as possible. This is also very reasonable considering that we have already achieved a great victory."
Yan Xinghe waved his hand and said, "No one would complain about not having enough military merits. If they can take certain risks and gain a lot of merits, everyone would be willing to do so. Since we have chosen to join the army, we all have this awareness. Otherwise, we can only be mediocre. However, taking risks is definitely not the same as being blind. First of all, we must have a very clear judgment of the enemy's strength."
"You don't want the coalition forces of the Longma Galaxy to be defeated, or even completely routed, but in fact, their individual combat power is very strong. Those who can become part of the coalition are the main combat races of the Longma Galaxy. You may not have understood it just now, but some of the warships are actually living creatures, powerful creatures. They have all kinds of strange abilities, and their individual combat power is extremely strong. It is difficult for our soul masters to fight against the strong ones among them. If we divide our forces and let our small warships pursue, it is likely to have the opposite effect and there will be unnecessary sacrifices."
"We have entered the Longma Galaxy now. You will never guess what we will do next. Our first goal is to destroy the military bases and military facilities of the Longma Galaxy, and plunder all the resources we can find. However, in this process, we can only target five targets at most at the same time. Because our fleet can only be divided into five parts at most. And the distance cannot be too far. Under normal circumstances, it can only be divided into four parts. The mothership is in the middle to coordinate and provide support at any time. This is done to guard against the top powerhouses of the Longma Galaxy. At least a Dragon King-class frigate is needed to threaten their existence."
"In star wars, there are actually many unspoken rules. We have been confronting the Longma Galaxy for so many years, and this situation has long been formed. For example, we will never use the main guns of battleships above the battleship level to bombard planets. And the top powerhouses of the Longma Galaxy will not sneak into the Federation to fight. Both of them are equivalent to strategic weapons. Unless it is a matter of life and death and a complete fallout, neither side will do so. Therefore, even in the process of destruction and looting, we will not completely damage those planets. We will only target the surface. Damaging resource planets is of no benefit to us, and will completely anger the powerhouses of the Longma Galaxy. Unless one side is confident that it can completely destroy the other side, otherwise, no one will easily overturn the table. This is the unspoken rule."
Lan Xuanyu nodded. He had actually figured out some clues from the previous battle. Although the Seventh Fleet won a big victory with the trap, it could be concluded that they were still wary.
In other words, this is a battle mainly aimed at weakening the opponent, rather than a real invasion of the Longma galaxy. After achieving strategic results, the federal fleet will retreat.
Thinking of this, Lan Xuanyu couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Captain, then in that case, we have always been at a disadvantage compared to the Longma Galaxy?"
Yan Xinghe's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "You can see the big picture from the small details. Tell me about your method."
Lan Xuanyu said: "If the Longma Galaxy had succeeded in the Dragon Source Crystal incident, they would have likely launched a full-scale war against us. Now we have taken advantage of this opportunity to defeat nearly half of their combat power, but we have no intention of launching a full-scale war. This means that we are not yet ready to engage in a full-scale war with them."
Yan Xinghe nodded and said, "That's right. The Longma Galaxy has a deep foundation. If we win at all costs, even if we can, the final result will not be very good. There may not be many of the seven fleets left, and the super-god-level strongmen are too terrible. At present, the point we use the most is actually the scattered state of the Longma Galaxy. Although it is centered on Tianlong Star and Tianma Star. But different races have different demands. Although they will be recruited in time of war, no one will go all out. After being defeated by us this time, this problem will definitely increase. But if we are planning to completely invade the Longma Galaxy and even wipe out all these races, it will be different. Once they go all out to fight us, the Federation cannot afford it at present. Although we have seven fleets, we are actually a little stretched in terms of troop deployment. After all, we have been in the universe for too short a time. The human body is still too fragile."
