Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 73 The Last Chance
Wang Yuanzhi has always held the position of deputy commander, although he really wants to take the position and squeeze out Qi Zhengxi's position.

But now that I'm really on top, it's actually a little uncomfortable.

Commander Qi Zhengxi is quite good. Except for the fact that he promoted Qin Xu at the speed of light, which made him a little unhappy, he has done everything else without any problems and has always taken good care of her.

After familiarizing himself with the work in the captain's room, he went to the hangar of the cruiser Dawn.

Although the rules required Qi Zhengxi to be handcuffed, no one would want to do so at this moment.

When Qi Zhengxi saw Wang Yuanzhi looking for him and seemed to have something to do, he also stopped.

Both sides saluted.

Wang Yuanzhi said: "Commander Qi Zhengxi, is there anything else you want to do here? I can arrange it for you."

Qi Zhengxi was about to be escorted back to Earth. He thought for a while and said, "I want to contact Qin Xu alone."

"Qin Xu?"

"Yes, I have something to say to him, and if he wants to do something in the future, please don't stop him."

"Commander Qi, I will try my best to meet your requests. But if what Qin Xu wants to do is particularly against discipline, do I have to approve it?"

Wang Yuanzhi didn't quite understand. Was he planning to let Qin Xu go back and blow up the earth?Not very realistic either.

Moreover, Qi Zhengxi did not have any dissatisfaction with this dismissal.

"It's just that he may need to leave the team for a while. Anyway, he won't do too much to embarrass you, the commander. Just pretend you didn't see it."

"Yes, leaving the team is equivalent to committing suicide. If he himself is not afraid, I will naturally not stop him."

Qi Zhengxi, who was originally supposed to be sent directly to Earth, was sent to the communications room to have a private call with Qin Xu.

In fact, Qi Zhengxi's current status does not have the right to do this.

It's just that everyone is friends, Qi Zhengxi has only been temporarily dismissed from his post, not kicked out completely. He will not see each other again in the future, so this request will naturally satisfy him.

"Commander Qi, are you looking for me?"

Qin Xu finally snatched the captain's seat back from Chen Xiaomeng's hands and sat in the captain's position.

"Haha, yes. You should have heard something too, right?"

Qin Xu nodded, "I know. And I also know that I shouldn't tell them your name."

"No, no, no, even if you don't say it, I will say it myself."

"Even though we're fighting pretty well on the front lines right now?"

Qin Xu didn't quite understand.

"Smooth? Is it smooth? We have entered the opponent's territory and destroyed the opponent's space station. The opponent's space station must have also read our fleet information, knowing how many ships we have and how much combat power we have. However, in this case Next, they still sent a squadron of fifty frigates to attack us and intercept us. Do you think they are brain-dead or we are brain-dead? "

"them?"

Qin Xu was stunned.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I really can't understand the operation on the other side.Qi Zhengxi suddenly laughed.

"Then I will make another hypothesis, assuming that these fifty frigates are not worth mentioning in their eyes. Then wouldn't they use these fifty frigates to attack our huge fleet of 40 destroyers, 160 frigates, and a cruiser? Do you have an explanation?"

"This……"

Qin Xu was shocked by this argument for a moment.

Fifty frigates, just throw them away.

Even though the opposite party has extreme militaristic thoughts, they are not so wasteful.

When the strength gap between the two fleets is too large, the fleet whose fleet strength far exceeds that of the other side will receive a substantial ship fire rate bonus.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for a large fleet to be beaten to death by a small fleet. A large fleet can basically defeat a small fleet without any damage.

This is why there is an operation to capture a single fleet.

"Qin Xu, I think you are a smart person."

"Ah, is it true? Since I was a child, my parents have said that I have a problem with my IQ. When the teacher looked at my test paper, he only shook his head at me and sighed..."

"No, no, no, you are very smart, really, believe me. Let me ask you again now, do you believe that the other side is mentally retarded, so they used these fifty frigates to hit us, or do you believe that these fifty frigates are in their eyes? It’s not worth mentioning, so it doesn’t matter if you give it away?”

Qi Zhengxi looked at each other seriously.

Qin Xu stopped joking, became serious, and thought about it seriously.

"I don't believe that the opponent is stupid. The opponent is a very tough and fanatical fighting nation. They are born to fight. They are not afraid of death, but they will never die in vain."

"Very good, I read you right. You can see this clearly better than most people. The idiots at the top are still preparing to celebrate the victory of the war. Who doesn't know that we haven't even touched the main fleet on the opposite side? We have been there, even if we mess up their territory, as long as the opponent's main fleet exists, the battle will never end, and the balance of the war will not shift in our favor."

"what do I need to do?"

Hearing Qin Xu's words, Qi Zhengxi smiled, "I just said you are a smart person."

After ending the conversation with Qi Zhengxi, Qin Xu sat in the captain's seat and thought for a long time.

He glanced at Chen Xiaomeng who was sitting next to him and said, "Is what Qi Zhengxi said true? The galaxies inside the nebula can be isolated from all detection from the outside world, so our gravity sensor may not be able to detect the galaxies covered by the nebula." Fleet information."

Chen Xiao dreamed for a while, "The nebula can indeed isolate information detection from the outside world to a certain extent. But if there is a fleet as large as ours hiding in the nebula, it will not be able to shield the nebula. It’s clear. We haven’t tried this situation either.”

"Suppose there is really a space fleet group on the opposite side that is much larger than ours. If they want to hide, they will either hide far away from us, or they can only..."

As he spoke, Chen Xiaomeng suddenly realized something and said.

"No, they can't hide very far, because we will reach the home planet of the Bazadi Empire in two jumps. The reason why we stay here for so long is that we dare not attack rashly. We are just waiting for the fleet of the Rock Republic Come over and join. Now it seems that the enemy's main fleet is likely to be hidden in this nebula. Because this is the only place where we can't find it, and can support the mother star as quickly as possible."

"To hide themselves so carefully, they even give up such a large territory of the outside world and let us destroy it at will. There are only two possibilities."

"One is that their fleet is very large, which belongs to the situation that we will run away as soon as we see it. They don't want to catch them one by one, they don't want to fight guerrillas with us, they want to catch them all, so they hide."

"Another possibility is that the main fleet group on the opposite side is very weak and is no match for us, so we can only hide to avoid fighting with our main fleet."
