"According to my calculations, the risk they need to take to launch a campaign near the Phoenix Star and launch an attack on the border with Yingzhou is extremely close. ”

As Cheryl spoke, she displayed the names of the pirate groups on the holographic screen.

"If we look closely, we can see it. These pirate groups, which have been trying their best to stay in the eastern part of Yingzhou since half a month ago, are extremely close to our hostile forces. It's hard not to wonder what their purpose is—"

This time, Xuanyuan Blood didn't speak, but still thoughtfully, looking at the girl in front of him who was standing in front of the holographic map and scolding Fang Xuan.

He already understood why Zhang Changzhi attached so much importance to this girl.

Cheryl's talent in combat command, he hasn't seen it yet, but in terms of strategic ability, this girl is still above her brother Al Weilun!

It's a pity that two months ago, their Thunder Hammer Mercenary Group was likely to poach the two brothers and sisters together. It's a buy-one-get-one-free business, and it couldn't be more cost-effective.

I am not 100% sure of my judgment. However, before entering Yingzhou, it is really necessary for us to formulate one to three combat plans in case of emergency. ”

"The so-called be prepared for danger in times of peace, think about being prepared, and be prepared. Even in a safe environment, it is important to be aware of the possibility of danger. This is a truth that has been recognized by soldiers since ancient times. ”

"I agree with that. ”

Xuanyuan's bloody eyes revealed a strong sense of examination: "Then what are you going to do? Based on the fact that the total number of warships of the other side exceeds 5,000 to formulate a battle plan, how are you going to deal with this war?"

At this time, Cheryl deliberately glanced up. When Cheryl found Zhang Xin listening intently, her eyes couldn't help but condense more confidence.

"I have studied the information of the ships of both sides, and found that the range of our ships is generally seven percent higher than that of the opponent. This is due to the fact that our ships are relatively young and well-maintained. ”

"Is there a 7 percent range advantage? But on the battlefield, it is not enough to be an advantage. ”

Xuanyuan crossed his fingers with his hands and questioned again: "As far as the speed of the warship is concerned, a distance of 30,000 kilometers will not take three seconds. How many ships can we sink in this period? 30, or 50? You know, our ships are designed to move forward, not to retreat, so it's impossible to keep a distance. And with the number of our naval guns, it is impossible to carry out a dense design of blocking shells. ”

"I know that, but this time, we can't choose when the battle will take place, but it's up to us to decide where to start fighting. ”

The corners of Cheryl's lips twitched slightly: "This is the draft battle plan I made before, I invite you to take a look-"

As she spoke, she used her slender fingers to transfer a document to the personal terminal interface of several people present.

And in just a moment, Xuanyuan Blood raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it using gravity slingshot?"

Although Xuanyuan Blood had tried his best to suppress it at this time, the exclamation in his words was still so strong that even a deaf person could hear it.

Zhang Xin also raised his eyebrows slightly, showing surprise again.

The so-called 'gravitational slingshot' is a method used by humans in ancient times to use the gravitational field of the planet to accelerate the space exploration ship and throw it to the next target to save sailing time.

In this way, the relative velocity relative to the planets remains the same, but the velocity is greatly increased relative to the Sun and the surrounding ladders.

In that era when the space propulsion system was inefficient and mankind had not yet fully entered space, there was also the theory of 'Hohmann transfer orbit', which also used the 'gravitational slingshot' to allow the spacecraft to change orbit in a more energy-efficient way, accelerating or decelerating during the process.

- He already understands the core point of Cheryl's battle plan.

I have to admit that in terms of talent alone, the Earth Federation, with its huge population base, is indeed far superior to the Dome.

For example, the Xie Lier in front of him, a talent like this woman, if it is placed in the Firmament, it will definitely be able to overwhelm the Ten Heavenly Pillars, and even be able to compete with him on the battlefield.

"So I'm going to target the next curvature voyage near Planet Shuanghyeon 3. Fighting here, as long as we can enter the low earth orbit of Shuanghyeon 3, we can use the gravitational slingshot here to gain a speed that is not inferior to that of the battleship when the group retreats!"

Cheryl put a little heavier on the projected star map, causing a lot of ripples.

"Considering that our Third Temporary Preservation Fleet and the major mercenary groups all have excellent shooting accuracy. I think this 7 percent range advantage is enough to send the opponent to hell while maintaining a low casualty rate!"

"It seems that the master has found another good helper. ”

At this time, not only the people present, but even Ye Ruo couldn't help but let out a 'tsk' exclamation in Zhang Xin's ears.

"Even I can judge that her battle plan is very reliable and incredible. ”

At this time, Zhang Xin stood up: "I think this plan is very good, it can be used as a priority, what do you think?"

When Wei Guo heard this, he replied without hesitation: "Lord, I am deeply impressed by Admiral Cheryl's talent and imagination. ”

Xuanyuan also bowed slightly: "Just follow her plan!" However, although in my personal opinion, the success rate is very high, just in case, there must be two filings. ”

※※※※

Just a little later, somewhere in the Yingzhou Star Field, in the Dark Void.

Ruolin stood by the porthole on the side of the bridge with her hands on her back, looking at the fledgling fleet outside.

"It is estimated that our ships will participate in the battle, including 700 warships of the Black Sail Praetorian Guard, 250 warships of the Red Fox Group's private army, 220 warships of the East China Sea Group, 870 warships of the Ghost Pirate Regiment, and 650 warships of the Broken Bone Pirate Regiment - all thanks to our careful preparation before the war, the total number of ships participating in this battle exceeded 5,600!"

At this time, near the combat command platform not far away, a masked man dressed in black was making a final pre-battle summary.

"On the side of the Majestic Group, there are 700 warships of the 3rd Temporary Protection Fleet, 1,000 warships of the Thunderhammer Mercenary Regiment, 440 warships of the Bright Mercenary Regiment, and 450 warships of the Dragonbone Mercenary Regiment—a total of 3,500 warships. In addition, according to intelligence, the other party has temporarily hired three medium-sized mercenary groups located in the border area of Yingzhou, and ordered the Weiyan Group, armed under all banners in this area, to assemble on Planet Shuangxian 3. This would bring their total number of warships to three thousand nine hundred. ”

As the man spoke, he slammed his whip on the holographic map: "I expect that the opponent has been alerted to our movements, and this place is the landing point of the opponent's next curvature voyage. ”

"Three thousand nine against five thousand six?

Ruolin frowned slightly: "Kalsas, whether it is the quality of the opponent's warships or the level of the combatants, they are all above our side!"
