Chapter 685, Strategy for Issuing Extermination Orders

The change in Salilius's mentality is very interesting.

Although his expression has basically not changed since he entered the door and sat down, and he has always been the most common poker face among Space Marines, Gu Hang can still roughly guess the change in Salilius's mentality from the slight fluctuations in his spirit and soul, as well as the changes in his eyes when he scanned the two seats.

He chuckled in his heart.

In fact, no matter which position Salilius chooses, no matter what kind of mentality he faces this battle, it will not affect the result. Gu Hang does not care much.

It just determines how Gu Hang faces him.

Now, it is a good result.

Putting this thought aside, Gu Hang coughed lightly and said, "Everyone is here, let's get started."

"First of all, I want to inform you of a piece of news: the time we have for the Battle of Reyaduches is very limited. A hive fleet is rapidly approaching Reyaduches at a sub-light speed in the real universe. It is certain that it is the reinforcements called by the Queen of the Insects. They will arrive in a year. Once that fleet arrives, the situation in Reyaduches will be greatly changed. We'd better get rid of the Queen of the Insects before that."

"Get rid of her as soon as possible The way is obviously not to fight a conventional war, which will take a long time and it will take countless long years to win; "

"It cannot be a decapitation tactic. Although we have the most elite fighters, the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower and orbital biological fleet are huge, and the specific location of the queen of insects cannot be searched. The loss of decapitation is very large. The lives of these most elite fighters cannot be wasted in vain. "

"I am determined to completely destroy this world that is already full of corruption and depravity with the extermination order."

"Who is in favor and who is against this matter?"

No one raised any objections.

Very good, it put an end to Gu Hang's idea of ​​doing something with bad taste.

In fact, it is also normal.

Gu Hang's prestige is unparalleled now. Even when Salilius comes, he has to sit down and acquiesce to the fact that the leader and commander-in-chief of this battle is Gu Hang, a mortal. So when he proposes an idea, as long as it is not too outrageous, who can oppose it?

What's more, there must be a reason for opposition.

What Gu Hang said is right.

Using the Extinction Order to attack Reyaduches, as long as it can succeed, it must be the way with the lowest cost, the most thorough effect, and the fastest effect.

And the human army does have this ability.

After the southern and western lines meet, all the weapons of the Extinction Order can be used together. After entering the Queen Star Region, the two lines of the army used up a lot of Extinction Order weapons. Many completely infected worlds have no value to save, but there are still a lot of bugs in them, so they should be baptized with the Extinction Order.

But no matter how much they use, both sides still have some inventory.

In addition, due to the special situation in the Queen Star Region, the weapons of the Extinction Order are not enough, so a lot of them were urgently transferred from the surrounding universe.

Almost all of them are Burning Sky Torpedoes, which are the most common.

One after another, they were loaded in transport ships and sent to the hands of the southern and western lines of the army, waiting to be used.

Now, there must be thirty Burning Sky Torpedoes on both sides. If necessary, it is not a problem to requisition another thirty in the next year.

If the problem can be solved with dozens of Burning Sky torpedoes, it would be the best.

Although, the value of one Burning Sky torpedo is equivalent to half a cruiser. Thirty torpedoes are worth nearly hundreds of billions of tax coins. However, compared with the results achieved and the costs avoided, it is still a business that will definitely pay for itself.

But it is easy to say, but the only problem is how to drop the extinction order weapon on Reyaduches?

It is not advisable to launch it on the surface while confronting the Hive Fleet across the orbit. In this way, let alone thirty Burning Sky torpedoes, even three hundred or three thousand will be useless, and all will be intercepted halfway.     But no one asked this question.

The eyes of the bigwigs present were focused on Gu Hang.

They believed that since Gu Hang proposed this idea, he must have something else to say and there must be a solution.

Facing these looks, Gu Hang smiled.

He said, "Why are you looking at me like this? I want to hear your thoughts."

The big guys present did not look at Gu Hang this time, but looked at each other, but still no one spoke.

Everyone actually had a bottom line in their hearts.

A more realistic idea is that if you want to issue an extinction order to Reyaduches, the most practical way is to take one step at a time. First, suppress the biological fleet of the Zerg in the planetary orbit, and strive to create a space for the troops to land.

Then, under the firepower of the enemy fleet and the ground firepower, go to clear the orbital artillery group on the ground. Not seeking a comprehensive cleanup, at least to establish safety above an area.

Then, you have to bear considerable losses and deploy troops to the ground.

Maybe one of ten transport ships can go down. This requires investment at all costs until the ground forces can temporarily gain a foothold, and fight for and destroy the biological artillery nests, and further clear the anti-orbital firepower.

When it is cleared to a certain extent, the extinction order weapons can be deployed.

It is impossible to raise the success rate of delivery to 100%. After all, there will be other anti-aircraft guns in the distance, and the Zerg will have flying demon swarms to attack the dropped bombs; the biological ships in orbit that have not been destroyed and can only be regarded as expelled at most will be attacked.

If there is only one or a few extinction order weapons, then it cannot be delivered under low probability. After all, as long as it is intercepted, it will be gone.

But humans now have thirty.

If the probability of successful delivery can be higher than 3%, it seems that it can be tried.

And this can be calculated by the degree of loss of transport ships when deploying troops to the ground.

However, there are two problems in doing so:

First, how much will humans pay for this before the success rate of delivery reaches 3%? Facing the ground firepower, driving away the Zerg fleet; facing the Zerg fleet, clearing the ground firepower... I don’t know how many warships will be lost in these two steps.

If it is just a loss, it’s fine. This is the final battle. No matter what the loss is, as long as the final victory can be achieved, it is acceptable.

But the problem is that there is a huge risk. The human fleet will be defeated by an enemy that is obviously inferior to them in such an extremely unfavorable situation.

Then everything will be ruined.

Compared with this problem, the second point, that is, the 3% success rate is not necessarily true. Facing the transport ships that deliver troops to the ground, the interception of the Zerg is one strength; facing the extinction order weapons, their interception must be another strength.

All 30 Burning Sky torpedoes are launched, and the last one fails, which is embarrassing.

These things are all things that everyone present can think of, and they are also the reason why they are unwilling to speak.

Having said that, it is nothing more than this set of things. It can't be played with flowers, but it can hardly be called a brilliant tactic.
