Chapter 804 Strategic Planning

In front of Derek, the military representatives were arguing fiercely.

The Aviation Department represented by Qin, the Army Department represented by Virut, and Adrian who controlled part of the fleet.

Although the three rarely expressed their opinions, the people below had different opinions.

"I suggest that we first complete the transformation of the local fortress. Compared with the situation of the Thunder God Fortress of the Blue Star Federation, the current fortress is difficult to resist invasion."

"The local fortress has been basically completed. The next step is to replace it step by step to increase defense.

Fortresses are different from warships. The technological gap can be compensated to a certain extent by scale. What is more important now is to extend the front line to the Blue Star Federation.

We can complete the construction of the fortress in the shortest time through modular construction, and even send troops to attack from the rear to cut off the connection between the Tianma Galaxy and the Blue Star Federation."

"No, no, no, I agree with sneak attacks, but there is no need to build a fortress directly at the exit of the Tianma Galaxy.

If the first fortress cannot stop the fleet of the Blue Star Federation, the local fortress is meaningless.

It is better to strengthen the defense thickness of the local fortress and use sneak attacks to take a military adventure."

"You are talking nonsense. Isn't there any loss in breaking the fortress? Building a fortress in the Blue Star Federation has a very large strategic effect."

Everyone has his own ideas, and they can't be said to be wrong.

But their opinions are expressed based on their own perspectives.

Everyone has different cognitive resources, and can understand different strengths of the Great Xia Empire.

Derek listened, not listening to one person's opinion.

"What do you three think?" He asked the three powerful figures.

No matter how much the other staff said, it was useless. Only the top few people had the power to make decisions.

Derek didn't want to make a decision on his own this time, because it was beyond his predictive ability.

The memory of the previous life was no longer enough to support him to give the most prophetic guidance at this time.

So, he chose to listen to everyone's opinions and choose the most correct one.

Of course, he was not the emperor for these years in vain, and he also had his own judgment and decision-making ability.

Qin and the other three looked at each other, and it was obvious that the other two let him speak first.

This is respect for the crown prince, and it is also the concern of the elders for the younger generation.

If you really say something wrong, you can also check and make up for the gaps as a valuable experience.

"I think we can take some risks. The Empire can fully undertake the construction of two fortresses, while carrying out the transformation of the local fortresses and producing modular components.

When the Empire's fleet is ready, we will directly launch a surprise attack on the Tianma Galaxy, and at the same time decide the construction location of the fortress according to the situation."

Qin is very familiar with the strength of the Great Xia Empire, so he is not blindly taking risks.

And this plan is feasible and the rewards are very great.

An entire galaxy is a great supplement to the Great Xia Empire.

Derrick did not give any opinions and looked at the other two.

Adrian pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "I think we can complete the construction of the local fortress while accumulating experience, and then implement the next plan when we are more confident.

The territory we currently control has not been developed to the limit, so there is no need to take risks."

He has a stable personality and does not think that there will be much benefit in taking the risk of going to war at this time.

It will not be digested in a short time after swallowing the Tianma Galaxy, and it will cause a backlash from the Blue Star Federation.

Finally, Virut gave a completely different opinion: "I think we have other options. Adrian, you are against taking risks because there is not enough time. If there is enough time, we can make more adequate preparations.

But how about changing your mindset and letting Maple Leaf Mining delay for more time?"

Derrick's eyes lit up. To be honest, he also ignored this point.

Everyone just thought that Maple Leaf Mining might not be able to delay for a few years. When faced with the exposed situation, it is better to take the initiative.

To be honest, the strength of Tianma Group is not weak. It is a small civilization alone and has the ability to launch an interstellar war.

"Keep talking." Derek motioned Virut to continue.

"I have studied it. The Blue Star Federation is different from us. It controls all aspects of society in a chaebol model, which means that the Tianma Group and the Blue Star Federation are not the same concept.

If... it is just a local rebellion, it will definitely attract all their attention.

At this time, they will definitely not continue to track down the backers of Maple Leaf Mining, but will be eager to defeat this rebel force and declare orthodoxy.

Otherwise, as long as they show their weakness, they will immediately attract the backlash of the Blue Star Federation itself. Perhaps in their view, the enemies within the Blue Star Federation are far more threatening than us."

This is indeed a very novel point of view, but it is a choice based on the form of civilization.

If the Tianma Group takes a different approach, it will be a big trouble.

Derrick must think carefully, and the think tanks around him are also making more careful deductions.

"Your Majesty, Minister Virut is right. We can fully take advantage of the internal contradictions of the Blue Star Federation."

The deduction results of the think tank team are very optimistic. The internal class contradictions are greater than the external pressure. Unless the Tianma Group is really a saint and is born with knowledge, it will definitely choose to solve the internal troubles first.

Moreover, the resources needed to support Maple Leaf Mining are quite cost-effective.

After all, it is a fight within the Blue Star Federation, and the intensity of the battle will not be very high at the beginning.

In this case, it is more cost-effective to delay for a longer time with very few resources.

Derek finally decided that since it is feasible, there is no reason to be afraid.

The worst result is a direct conflict with Tianma Group in advance.

"First complete the upgrade and transformation of the local fortress to accumulate experience for the next time.

In addition, give priority to providing some warships and personnel to Maple Leaf Mining to support them in the comprehensive competition with Tianma Group for the dominance of the Tianma Galaxy. The longer the delay, the better."

Doing so may lose the opportunity for a surprise attack, but it can gain the advantage of time, which is worth a try.

Since Derek has made the decision, others should give up even if they have other ideas.

Now we will start a detailed plan around the new route.

Supporting Maple Leaf Mining may bring unexpected surprises.

Of course, the first to start construction is the warship manufacturing base.

After several small-scale experimental transformations, the Great Xia Empire finally began the era of full-scale shipbuilding.

The first batch of warships will mainly imitate the Blue Star Federation and first meet the needs of the existing ones.
