Although the Federation was continuously developing its resource extraction capabilities, the resources it controlled were still limited. In this regard, the Dragon Horse gxy had a huge advantage.
In recent years, the Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed ns had also focused on researching warship technology and have already developed some of their own warships. Although they could ot yetpare with the warships of the Douluo Federation, they had already taken shape. Their biggest advantagey in the abundant resources of the Dragon Horse gxy. Once given enough time, the Dragon Horse gxy could develop energy cores such as the Dragon Source Crystal, and the innovation speed for warship development would surely elerate. With an overwhelming domination in resources, with a few hundred years at most, the Dragon Horse gxy would be able to catch up with human technology. At that time, it would ring the end for the Federation.
The Federation had always known about this oue, but the aftermath of a full-scale war was too great, and the parliament dared not make a hasty decision, so they could only focus on developing themselves, which caused dys.
However, the Dragon Source Crystal incident had a huge impact on the Federation. They had not yet taken action, but the Celestial Dragon n had already made a move against the Federation. If they continued to wait, the Federation would be increasingly passive. It was time to turn the tables and take the initiative.
They had to take action to suppress the development of the Dragon Horse gxy, otherwise, the development speed of the Douluo Federation would not keep up with theirs. Even though the warships developed by the Dragon Horse gxy were still rtively weak, with enough resources, they could manufacture a farrger number of space fleets than the Douluo Federation in a short period. By then, it would be toote to act, especially since the Dragon Horse gxy had many top-tier experts, including the Celestial Dragon n and the Celestial Steed n who both had super god-rank experts.
Therefore, after a series of secret meetings, the Federation finally passed the order tounch war against the Dragon Horse gxy. This was not going to be the decisive battle, but a war of attrition. The operational goal was to weaken the strength of the Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steeds, with a focus on targeting their achievements in warship manufacturing.
The Federation had also been conducting reconnaissance on the Dragon Horse gxy, and they were well aware of the locations of some important military bases. These ces were the targets of their attack this time.
"The First and Second Space Fleet are also approaching the Dragon Horse gxy as our support forces. The military''s order this time is one word: fast. We need tounch a lightning quick attack on the Dragon Horse gxy, destroying their military and research facilities as much as possible. If possible, we will also conduct some resource looting."
Shen Junjie furrowed his brows and said, "Captain, what about the reconnaissance blockadework when weunch this attack? Once we make a move, the reconnaissance blockadework will definitely not remain intact. If enemy powerhouses infiltrate the federal territory, it will be big trouble."
Yan Xinghe said in a deep voice, "We can''t worry about that now. Our attack will be sudden, and the enemy may not react in time. At the same time, the Federation has already notified the War God Temple, the Spirit Hall, Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and other forces. If any powerhouses from the Dragon Horse gxy infiltrate the Federation, they will unite to resist them."
Lan Xuanyu had been standing quietly at the end, and he had already understood somewhat.
The positions guarded by the Federal Fleet were all releasing reconnaissance blockades. This was a kind of super radar device that could cover vast star territories. Once an enemy entered this range, they would be discovered and even locked onto as soon as possible.
The Federation had been blockading the powerful members of the Dragon and Celestial Steed ns in this way to prevent possible attacks on the Federation from within. That was probably why the Head of the Dragon Star onlyunched a projection attack.
As for the Sin, it was probably not considered enough of a threat, so there was no such blockade. Otherwise, how could space pirates still be able to raid within the Federation? It was simply impossible.
If the Seventh Fleetunched an attack now, the reconnaissance blockadework would be iplete, and there would be a possibility of enemy powerhouses breaking into the Federation. But for the sake of this military operation, it was probably not a concern.
In this war, the core objective was destruction, to destroy as many military bases in the Dragon Horse gxy as possible. The current target was set at 10, with 38 of them beingrge targets. Resource acquisition was a secondary objective. Therefore, after the war started, whileunching frontal attacks, infiltration attacks would focus on these targets. Some ces requirednding operations. The firepower of the mothership would be used to suppress the Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed. At the same time, special tactics would be employed to lure the enemy deep into our territory, thereby inflicting heavy damage on them and suppressing their strong forces. Regarding thending operations, speed was of the essence.
"General Shen," Yan Xinghe''s gaze turned towards Shen Junjie as he spoke.
"Here!" Shen Junjie immediately stood at attention.
"Our Dragon Three Operations Department will be under yourmand. Thisnding operation is the best opportunity to gain merit. Your orders will determine the sess of our brothers'' efforts. I believe this type of battle is also most suitable for you."
"Understood, I will ensure thepletion of the mission," Shen Junjie said in a deep voice.
Yan Xinghe said, "Our Seventh Fleet will lead the attack this time, lure the enemy deep, and annihte them. We will mainly rely on ourselves. The specific details of the operation are still ssified. Thending troops should be prepared to start thending operation immediately after achieving the established goals on the main battlefield."
"Yes!" Everyone stood at attention and saluted.
Lan Xuanyu quickly followed suit.
Although Admiral Yan Xinghe never explicitly stated what the mission was or how the fleet would attack, he could vaguely guess that it was probably rted to the Dragon Source Crystal.
When he discovered the situation with the Dragon Source Crystal, he was immediately attacked by the projection of the leader of Celestial Dragon, and the final blow threw them into a star. At least from the other party''s perspective, the possibility of his own destruction was very high.
After receiving the news, the Federation didn''t know how it was done, but they thought it wouldn''t rm the Dragon Horse gxy. And tounch a war so quickly, with such a short time for preparation, it was just the right time for themselves. He didn''t believe that it had nothing to do with the Dragon Source Crystal incident.
Thinking of this, Lan Xuanyu nodded secretly in his heart. The Federation''s decision making speed was still very quick. If they could use this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Dragon Horse gxy, it would also be helping him get revenge. The pain he had endured before would not be in vain.
"Lan Xuanyu, Major General." While Lan Xuanyu was thinking, Yan Xinghe''s voice suddenly came. At the same time, the gaze of all the officers present fell on Lan Xuanyu.
"Yes." Lan Xuanyu stood at attention.
Yan Xinghe said in a low voice, "Your team will also participate in thisnding operation, and important tasks will be assigned to you. Any questions?"
"No problem, we guarantee toplete the task," Lan Xuanyu immediately replied. When he thought about being able to participate in such arge-scale battle, he couldn''t help but feel a surge of excitement.
Yan Xinghe smiled slightly and said, "Okay. The meeting is adjourned. The specific actions will be sent to each department in a confidential manner. Everyone, be prepared. The mobilization order will be issuedter. You can all leave now, except for Major General Lan Xuanyu."
Everyone saluted again and the military meeting ended.
The other senior officers of Dragon Three went off to their respective duties, while Yan Xinghe waved to Lan Xuanyu, signaling him toe over.
Lan Xuanyu took a few steps forward and came to Yan Xinghe''s side. This was his first time meeting the captain, so he wasn''t familiar with him.
Yan Xinghe smiled and said, "General Yu Muchen introduced you to me personally. I rarely hear him praise someone so much. It''s clear that you''re different from others."
Lan Xuanyu immediately understood why he was assigned to Dragon Three. It seemed that Yan Xinghe and General Yu Muchen belonged to the same faction in the military. No wonder they assigned him here, was it to take special care of him?
