It is not easy to return to the home galaxy, and it is even more difficult to leave the home galaxy.
According to the information provided by the Theater Command, there are at least ten main fleets of the Silicon Magic Alliance near the home galaxy, as well as tens of thousands of small patrol ships. After completing the encirclement and blockade of the home galaxy, the Silicon Magic Alliance has deployed a large number of detectors outside the home galaxy, and only a few abnormalities will issue an alarm. Including the third theater, fast battleships have been dispatched many times to try to break through the blockade of the Silicon Magic fleet, but all ended in failure. The key point is that the blockade of the Silicon Magic Alliance is too dense. No matter where an abnormality is found, one fleet will arrive within fifteen minutes, and three fleets will arrive within two hours. Even the fastest warship of the Human Federation cannot escape in just fifteen minutes. As long as it is caught up by the main fleet of the Silicon Magic Alliance, being destroyed is the inevitable result. If small warships are dispatched and the distance of the space jump is shortened as much as possible to avoid triggering the detectors deployed by the Silicon Magic Alliance, they may also encounter small patrol ships wandering outside the home galaxy. If it is entangled by a small patrol ship, it will also delay a lot of time, so that the nearby main fleet has enough time to arrive.
Prior to this, the breakout operations organized by nine theaters, including the third theater, all ended in failure.
Although it is not certain whether the ships that tried to break out of the encirclement were destroyed, none of these ships returned to the home galaxy, or even contacted the home galaxy again. Even if a ship breaks through the siege, it will definitely suffer severe damage and completely lose its ability to move.
Of course, these ships have a special mission and will not actively reveal their whereabouts until the mission is completed.
Although there is the "Xinghai", Yang Yi has no idea whether it can successfully break through the enemy's encirclement, and even Otis is not entirely sure.
Quite simply, it is not just warships that the Silicon Magic Alliance uses to blockade the home galaxy.
According to Otis’s speculation, the Simei Alliance must have set up traps near the homeland galaxy to deal with those ships trying to escape. Although the "Xinghai" is advanced in performance and very fast enough to get rid of the warships of the Silicon Magic Alliance, as long as it falls into a trap, even if it is just an ordinary space trap, it will be destroyed. At least a lot of time will be delayed and it will be destroyed. The fleet of the Silicon Magic Alliance catches up.
I don’t know the outside world, and the risk of breaking through is too great.
Yang Yi did not rush to take action, but waited for Shen Chengwen to return with the officers and soldiers of the special investigation brigade. In any case, Shen Chengwen understands the Silicon Magic Alliance better.
After discussing with Shen Chengwen, Yang Yi formulated a breakthrough plan that seemed unreliable but barely feasible, and then submitted it to the theater command. Because the breakout operation requires the cooperation of other troops, Yang Yi can only ask Lin Xiaoting for help.
The plan was very simple. The main thing was to arrange a feint attack and dispatch a large number of small warships to break through in all directions, so that the enemy could not figure out the intention of the third theater. The "Xinghai" took this opportunity to kill. If possible, the small warships responsible for cover must also provide real-time battle conditions, so that Yang Yi and the others can grasp the battlefield situation in a timely and accurate manner, and they will be more sure to find loopholes in the enemy's direction.
Lin Xiaoting agreed without thinking about it. In addition to Zhan Ruilin's long time order to help Yang Yi unconditionally, it was also related to some tasks that had already been arranged, and Lin Liexun was still active outside. Lin Xiaoting had no reason to evade.
This is, there are now a large number of human federation fleets and troops to resist invasion outside the home galaxy. Although he can get in touch with the homeland galaxy, he can't get any help, even if it's just some verbal encouragement. Long before Yang Yi and the others came back, the Theater Command formulated an action plan, preparing to send small warships fast enough to those colonial galaxies that were still resisting. Although small warships can't hold many materials, and the help they can provide to the resistance organizations of the colonial galaxy is nothing, but as long as these small warships can reach the colonial galaxy, even if it is only one, the value of encouragement is very great.
Simply put, this can convince the resisters of the colonized galaxy that the Federation has not forgotten them or abandoned them.
It is a pity that Lin Xiaoting had not waited for the right opportunity before that.
Although under the pressure of the military, he took action and sent some small warships, but none of them succeeded. The previous breakout operations all failed, and a large number of warships were lost as a result. Even if they are all small warships, they are not of much value in the battle to defend the homeland galaxy. However, letting the officers and soldiers on these warships make meaningless sacrifices, Lin Xiaoting could not accept, so after symbolically launched several breakout operations , There will be no major moves in the third theater. Of course, the situation in other theaters is similar. If it is hopeful to break through, even if only one battleship can stand out from the siege, no matter how great the sacrifice is made. In hopeless circumstances, just to show their existence, or to satisfy a few military officials and federal officials, let thousands of officers and soldiers go to death, not just Lin Xiaoting, I am afraid any one. Neither the chief of staff nor the commander of the theater can accept it.
This time is different, at least for one good reason.
Lin Xiaoting personally made the deployment, personally gave orders to the captain who performed the cover task, and personally planned the breakout routes of the warships.
The chief of staff of the theater of staff is in charge, and the preparations in all aspects have not only proceeded very smoothly, but the efficiency is also scary.
On the fifth day that Shen Chengwen arrived with the special investigation team, that is, the third day Yang Yi submitted the breakout plan, the deployment was completed.
Of course, this is also related to the current situation.
Don't forget that the Human Federation has already entered a wartime state. In addition to the completion of war mobilization in various major war zones, the mobilization of civilians has also been fully launched. In addition, the military has taken over the home galaxy, the federal authorities have stepped aside, and the entire human confederation has been controlled in accordance with the law of war. To put it simply, the military is the first priority, and the military orders issued by the military headquarters and the headquarters of the major war zones have the highest effect.
In addition, among the nine theaters, the third theater is the first to start mobilization and has the highest completion rate.
In just two days, Lin Xiaoting not only mobilized hundreds of small warships, but also prepared all these warships for departure, and arranged tasks for each captain. Although the main task is to cover Yang Yi and their "Xinghai" from breaking through the encirclement of the Silicon Magic Alliance, Lin Xiaoting also deployed other tasks to these small warships. It is very simple. As long as you successfully break through, try to rush to those colonial galaxies that are still resisting, take the orders of the Federation and the military, and improve the morale and confidence of the armed forces of the colonial galaxies. If the target galaxy has been captured by the Silicon Magic Alliance, switch to a mission to break the cross and attack the rear supply line of the Silicon Magic army.
Simply put, these small warships will not return to their home galaxy after covering Yang Yi and the others.
Although I think Lin Xiaoting’s arrangement is a bit redundant, and the small warships that break through the siege are likely to be self-defeating, Yang Yi didn’t say much. They break through.
You know, there are not many warships available to the Human Federation.
Because the advancement speed of the Silicon Charm army far exceeded everyone's expectations, even Zhan Ruilin did not expect that the seemingly indestructible Greenwich defense line would be broken by the Silicon Charm army within a few months, so when the Greenwich defense line fell. Most of the forces of the Human Federation are outside the home galaxy, and many of the mobilized legions and fleets are even on their way to colonize the galaxy. The result of this is that before the homeland galaxy was surrounded by the Simei army, only the main fleet of nine theaters returned in time. Although most of the battleships were saved, nearly 70% of the small battleships failed to return, and it is obvious that it is impossible for all battleships in a fleet to be all battleships.
If there is enough time, the lack of small warships can definitely be resolved. After the war mobilization is completed, the war potential of the human federation can be brought into full play. During the Fifth Greenwich War, the Federation of Mankind set a record of building 3,500 small warships in one year.
The problem is that there is not enough time now.
It is conservatively estimated that the human federation will take at least five years to complete the war mobilization, and it will take three years to be optimistic. Moreover, after the war mobilization is completed, the war potential, especially the industrial potential, cannot be used immediately. After all, it takes more to adjust the industrial structure. time.
According to the mobilization plan formulated by the military, it will take five years at the earliest to build small warships in batches.
Prior to this, there were less than 10,000 small warships that could be used in the Home Galaxy, and on average there were only more than 1,000 in each theater. Even if the third theater is powerful, there are less than 2,000 small warships that can be used, and there are only about 5,000 civilian spaceships that can be transformed into small warships. Lin Xiaoting sent more than one hundred small warships, and it was a real warship to cover Yang Yi and the others. It was already very good.
Of course, this also shows that Zhan Ruilin and Lin Xiaoting attach great importance to this action.
However, confidentiality is more important.
In order to conceal people's eyes, Lin Xiaoting formulated an action plan called "Gongzige" and sent it to the military department for record after Zhan Ruilin signed it. Although this was just a cutscene, it was enough to make other people think of Lin Liexun who was still alive, and thought that Lin Xiaoting was fighting to save his beloved youngest son back. Because Lin Liexun is a major general and has nine liuying ships belonging to the Star Weavers in his hand, it is not surprising that Zhan Ruilin signed this action plan.
Although this trick is not clever, at least the outside world will not immediately link this action to Yang Yi. In any case, Lin Liexun is Lin Xiaoting's son, and he has been highly valued by Zhan Ruilin before. He left the homeland galaxy at the beginning because of the appointment of the military headquarters, not the arrangement of the third theater command. I always thought that he was dead before, but now that he is still alive, I naturally have to take him back.
This series of arrangements and deployment took only five days before and after, and the efficiency was amazing.
