Chapter 157 Strategic Retreat (Eighth Update)

"Order the construction ships on the channel defense line! Don't worry about the supply of materials, and focus on building the fortresses and fortresses on the defense line!" Li Mingze gritted his teeth and said that the ore he had looted from various planets in the territory of Imbechi this month should be enough to reinforce the defense line.

After receiving Li Mingze's order, the warships originally distributed in various parts of the Imbechi Alliance turned around and withdrew to the imperial defense line.

On some planets that were halfway through the attack, the auxiliary army and the orbital airborne army stopped the offensive and moved a large amount of materials to the transport ships.

The empire's fleet was like a swarm of locusts, leaving no grass wherever it passed. In order to save materials for making robots, a large number of Imbechi strong men were also taken to the transport ships flying back to the defense line.

In the end, the Imbechi troops who came to receive it were left with a lot of ruins that needed to be rebuilt and countless old, weak and sick people.

These old, weak and sick people greatly hindered the progress of the Imbechi troops, because the empire looted the materials they depended on for survival, causing the Imbechi troops to distribute military supplies to civilians.

The most vicious thing is that the Empire destroyed all the buildings into dangerous buildings before leaving, making it a pity for these Imbechi people to live in them or not, which made the Imbechi Alliance leaders very angry.

Although they didn't want to care about these old, weak and disabled people, they were all federal citizens who had paid taxes, so they had to care about them. Just thinking about it made these leaders feel overwhelmed.

More than ten days later, there were no imperial spacecraft in the territory of the Imbechi Alliance, and the Empire retreated to the California, Halva and other star systems.

Construction ships were still busy in the orbits of the main planets in these star systems. The goal of the order issued by Li Mingze was to make the defense projects of these star systems able to withstand 50% of the firepower of all enemy warships.

As long as these fortresses can hold out for a few hours, the support fleets waiting in hyperspace in advance will arrive! The Empire prepared three support fleets in the four star systems.

As long as the enemy chooses to attack a star system, the support fleet, together with the original fortresses and artillery, can easily capture half of the enemy fleet.

Although this may cause the Empire to lose one-third of its fleet, the enemy will lose the ability to launch a second attack, and the Empire's fleet will have the opportunity to counterattack.

It can be said that as long as the enemy's fleet does not increase in a short period of time, the Empire will be invincible.

And now the Empire's fleet has just swept through the autumn wind of the Empire, and all kinds of resources have been plundered.

The entire country's territory has been cut in half again, and there is no material transmission technology unique to the Empire. Their resource circulation has become zero, and the war potential has greatly decreased.

What the Empire lacks now is time. As long as the Empire is given time to wait for the completion of the Nuwa Plan, countless Sith people will carry the Empire's flag to continuously expand the Empire's territory, and many empty colonies will be able to be thoroughly developed.

A large population will bring countless excellent soldiers and scientists to the Empire! The Empire's technological development will usher in a big explosion, and a large number of talented soldiers will also join the Empire's fleet.

You must know that these new humans not only have extremely high quality and the highest loyalty, but they also have no relatives. If they die in battle, the Empire does not need to pay pensions, which will save a lot of money for the Empire.

This group of elite and cheap new humans will completely change the current war situation. Apart from other things, the strong bodies modulated by genes can nearly double the upper limit of overclocking!

"Declare the highest wartime state! All food and supplies are rationed!"

"All civilian shipyards stop building civilian ships and devote all their energy to building military equipment such as torpedo boats!"

"All civilian flying car manufacturers are fully transferred to the manufacture of ground combat vehicles."

"Civilian clothing factories are also all transferred to the manufacture of military combat uniforms. All electronic equipment companies are requisitioned to make military parts. We can't just rely on printing to manufacture equipment! Use all civilian manufacturing forces to arm our army!"

"All construction companies take transport ships to the front line to build anti-orbital beam cannons and ground fortresses!"

"The Empire begins to recycle all metal creations except daily necessities for remelting, and use them all for building warships for me!!"

Li Mingze sat in his blue brick office and issued several supreme decrees in succession.

For a moment, the huge chariot of the Empire seemed to be injected with accelerant, and began to accelerate slowly, with all resources fully tilted towards the military field.

At this time, the main fleet of the Imbechi Alliance also left the hyperspace and dispersed to various star systems to join the various fleets of the Andel Military Group.

In the capital of the Imbechi Alliance, a huge spaceship fell from the sky under the escort of many warships and landed on the square in front of the parliament building.

A team of guards surrounded an Andel man in a black robe and walked off the spaceship. The Imbechi officials who had been waiting for a long time immediately greeted him.

"Welcome to the Imbechi Alliance, let's go in and discuss." The speaker of the Imbechi Alliance made a gesture of invitation and walked into the parliament building with the black-robed man.

This man in black was Yizo, who was in charge of supporting the Imbechi Alliance campaign.

Soon, Yizo and many Imbechi officials came to the conference hall of the parliament building.

As everyone took their seats, a hologram appeared in the air in the conference hall.

"We don't have much time, so let's not waste time talking. Just look at this." An Inbechi official enlarged the star map in the conference room, and a long and narrow red ribbon appeared in the sky.

"This strip is the channel defense line that the Sith Empire used to cut our Imbechi Alliance in half."

"Since our fleet can only take care of the half containing the capital, the other half is now completely isolated from us and should have been killed by the Sith Empire."

"And if we want to cut off this line of defense, there are only two ways. One is to find a point to break through, and the other is to directly attack the Sith Empire!"

"But the second one is impossible. The only galaxies bordering the Sith Empire are the Woston Galaxy and the Comanche Galaxy! The Woston Galaxy is now a component point of the channel defense line, and the Comanche Galaxy is located in the other half of the area isolated from us."

"That is, we can only choose one point to break through!" Izo interrupted the official and asked.

"Yes! If we choose to raid the Woston system, we can not only cut off the connection between this line of defense and the Sith Empire, but also open up the connection with the other half of the territory!"

"You Imbeci people have no brains! You don't have a fleet in the other half of the star field. What if we suffer heavy losses after opening up the Woston system and face a pincer attack from the Sith Empire and their defense line?" Izo sneered disdainfully.
