Chapter 545, Whose Side Is Time On?

Gu Hang certainly wasn't talking nonsense.

If the Alliance really took down the Proud Claw Star Region as he said, and even pushed the front to the Nepeta Star Region, then let's not talk about the results of the battle, after all, reports can lie.

But the battle line won't lie.

They are the force that pushed the battle line closest to the Princess Star Region.

On the northern battlefield, there are the Black Crusaders, the Infinite Warriors, and the Bats, all of which are famous warbands, or even just the founding warbands. In addition, there are the newly joined Inquisition and a special warband called the Silver Watch.

On the western front, there are the Phoenix, the elite of the Inquisition and a large number of battle sisters, and the famous Star Army - the Death Legion.

These two fronts have so many famous generals and so many famous legions that they can't be counted. What will the final result be?

They are still blocked in several star regions on the edge of the Spider Web Universe, and no one has entered. Even now, the western front is still being pushed back, and it can't stand in the Spider Web Universe, and has been pushed to the western Magre Universe.

Regardless of whether the southern front is the main battlefield, just ask whether the front is the closest to the enemy's core area?

As long as it reaches this level, the alliance can stand up straight and deal with all political attacks on itself.

Talking about me?

Let's see what the other big guys are doing first!

As for taking down the three key worlds, whether it is considered to have conquered the Proud Claw Star Domain...

Even if the Proud Claw Star Domain is conquered, does the alliance have the spare energy to fight back...

Then let's talk about it later.

You can't really expect that the alliance alone can settle the matter, right?

If there is no major change in the battle situation on the northern and western fronts, Gu Hang will not advance again after taking down the three key worlds and declaring the conquest of Proud Claw.

He is also afraid of stimulating Tie Nushi's mentality too much.

At that time, if he really gets angry, he will ignore the opponents on the western and northern lines, concentrate his forces to the south, and concentrate on dealing with him, then he will be finished.

In fact, that is why Gu Hang must take at least one of the two planets, Shangdong and Guangfeng.

If that scene really comes, Gu Hang can only give up all the results of the war and retreat to Shangdong with his main fleet.

With the help of Shangdong's perfect orbital defense system - the destroyed star fortress, the alliance has already dragged new ones to make up for it - plus the alliance's own eight main battleships, as long as the Iron Fury Stone really comes out to attack him, then he can still defend it.

...

The second phase of the alliance's war lasted for several months.

This phase ended only after the twenty important worlds selected from the four star regions in the occupied area were solidly built into a rock-hard fortress.

During this period, the Fury Fleet still tried to harass many times.

But when the alliance had shrunk to this point, they finally couldn't take any advantage.

Recently, they have also quieted down.

The Fury Flame Corps has quieted down, but the Alliance does not intend to quiet down.

The third phase of the war planned by Gu Hang has officially begun.

The main fleet of the Alliance is a combination of 1+1+3.

One battleship, one aircraft carrier, and three battlecruisers.

There are also three battlecruisers to guard the rear. If the Fury Flame attacks the Alliance-controlled area with all its might, it will be no problem to protect itself with the three battlecruisers and the built space defense line, and it can even pull with mobility.

The main force of the attack has the strength to crush the Fury Flame head-on.

They rushed directly to the key hub world of Mentus II.

As a core hub world, Mentus II has excellent defense conditions.

Not as good as Guangfeng Star, after all, there is no void shield covering the entire planet; but it is not much worse than Shangdong Star. The defense system combined with a complete ground artillery group and orbital star fortress is simple, but solid and useful.

Logically speaking, the Fury Fleet could use the complete defense conditions of Mentus II to fight against the main fleet of the Alliance.

However, they still abandoned Mentus II and resolutely implemented the strategy of not engaging in a head-on battle with the Alliance. They even abandoned Guangfeng Star, a more complete defensive planet, not to mention Mentus II, which was actually a little bit worse.

Paulitus was still not forced to fight.

In fact, in the current high-level military discussions of the Alliance, it is gradually understood that, let alone the gains and losses of a city or a place, even if the entire Proud Claw Star Region is lost, it is probably impossible to provoke the Fury Corps to fight against them.

Adler Paulitus can be said to be a coward, and it can be said that he had his spine broken after the bloody battle that year. However, it must be admitted that his very indecisive and sticky pulling style is really annoying.

And the more realistic threat is that Gu Hang feels that time is on his side. After the battleship technology is extracted, the existing production capacity of the Holy Grail class and Zhuge class is also gradually expanding, and the Dragon Snake class battle cruisers purchased from the Mingyang Sect... the alliance will become stronger and stronger.

After all, although the war has begun, the alliance's homeland has never stopped its pace of development. The war that occurred in the outside world may have a certain inhibitory effect on the economic development of the local area, especially in terms of the people's living standards, which will inevitably decline due to war and material rationing.

However, if the military production capacity is also taken into account, there is no doubt that war can strongly stimulate production in this area.

The Alliance is working hard to expand its military production capacity and will become stronger and stronger.

But the key is that Paulitos doesn't know, or doesn't know it clearly.

Just as many senior generals of the Alliance believe that time is on the side of the Alliance, Paulitos may also think so.

He is trading space for time, and would rather lose more territory in exchange for greater risks when the Alliance advances. At the same time, he is also buying time for himself and waiting for Humphrey Paul to assign him more warships.

Whether this warship is allocated from the battlefields on the western and northern fronts, or from the newly produced ships in the shipbuilding industry in the core area of ​​Iron Fury Stone, anyway, his fleet will become stronger later.

In comparison, it is really hard to say whose understanding is right, and it is not certain who time is on.

Perhaps, both sides.

After all, the next batch of battle cruisers, aircraft carriers, and battleships of the Alliance generally take six to eight years to build. By then, the number of main battleships of the Alliance can almost double.

But can the war last until then?

The possibility is still quite high. After all, it is not uncommon for such a war involving multiple universes and multiple major forces to last for more than ten years or even decades.

However, no one can predict what the war situation will be like in six to eight years.

Maybe the alliance will have suffered a major defeat by then? Or is the war situation so smooth that there is no need to increase the number of ships?

And for Paulitus, maybe a few months later? A year or two later? His fleet may be strengthened.

Paulitus may consider finding a favorable place to fight a good battle with the alliance at that time.

But obviously, he will never do so now.

For the alliance fleet, Mentus II is a world that will no longer be skipped.

The alliance did not leave this world aside like it did to Guangfeng and Shangdong, but launched a strong attack on Mentus II.

As the main force, the "Burning Star" launched a very tough attack on the star fortress surrounding Mentus II. Under the cover of the frigates, with its own strong defensive performance, it withstood the attacks of orbital firepower and ground firepower, and also fiercely poured its own firepower on those star fortresses. At the same time, it also provided solid cover for the three battle cruisers behind it and the "Hippogriff".

The important role of battleships is undoubtedly revealed at this moment: they are the hardest and most reliable space fortresses, and the core of offense and defense.

In the first battle, the result of the alliance was the destruction of four space stations and some damage to the star fortress.

The price was that the side lost a small boat, but at the same time, the shields of many frigates turned red, and they had to hide behind. The most important thing was that the shield on the Fire Nova also turned red, reaching the edge of overload.

At this point, the alliance fleet withdrew.

Of course, the alliance would not exchange losses with the opponent's cheap space stations and star fortresses.

That would be too uneconomical.

A star fortress has the same hardness and firepower as a battleship, only slightly inferior at most; but the cost may be less than one twentieth of that of a battleship.

Whoever makes this exchange is a fool.

The battleship can move, which means it has the initiative to fight or not.

I will retreat when my shield is red.

You are blocked, and the planet's production capacity alone cannot make up for the damage.

And when my shield is ready, recharged, and the overload state is restored, I will continue to fight!
