Chapter 76: A heroic act of self-sacrifice: war is essentially a gamble without a table

Inside the Imperial Space Station.

A group of older commanders not far behind Ye Chen were looking at the virtual live projection of the fierce battle below, with gleams in their eyes.

After all, this is a real simulation of war command, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Who wouldn’t want to get involved?

But unfortunately, they are all semi-retired now, and have no chance to be selected as commanders of interstellar war exercises.

These commanders of the older generation were all commanders who participated in the unification war decades ago.

Although they had never fought in an interstellar war, they had fought in real ground wars. In addition, after Dukao joined the Imperial Army as Chief of Staff, they were the first group of people to come into contact with Dukao.

They learned the experience of interstellar warfare from Dukao, and through their own war command experience, combined with the learned experience of interstellar warfare, they integrated them and created their own set of fighting methods.

Nowadays, these older generation commanders are basically in a semi-retired state, and then go to the Interstellar Combat Command Academy to work as teachers.

The new generation of commanders who are now directing the battle are all students they taught personally.

According to the system originally established by Ye Chen, officers in the Yanhuang Empire’s military have a certain term of office.

When the time comes, no matter how high your official position is, you will be forced to enter a semi-retirement state.

All positions must be handed over to make way for the next generation.

In the imperial military, Ye Chen will not allow anyone to be in a high-level position for a long time.

Because only with a constant supply of new blood and the opening of the upper-level promotion system can the imperial army always remain in a vibrant state.

"Dukao, what do you think of the command level of these new generations?"

Watching the battle below, Ye Chen suddenly looked at Dukaodao beside him.

Hearing this, Dukao thought for a moment and said, "The conductor is still too immature, not as experienced as the teachers in the Conducting Academy.

To be honest, the Emperor spent such a huge amount of money this time, he could have just let the teachers command the battle and let the new generation learn on the side, this is the most cost-effective way. "

Glancing at Dukao, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Dukao, you are right, that will indeed maximize the effect of this military exercise.

But there is no cost-effectiveness in war.

War itself is a gamble, full of uncertainties. These new generations may seem immature in command ability now, but they are the future of the empire.

I am willing to pay for the minor losses for these new generations."

Hearing this, Dukao nodded and said nothing, nor did he say whether he agreed or not.

Glancing at Dukao's expressionless face, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile in his heart.

As time passed, the battlefield below changed rapidly.

When the Yanhuang Fleet and the Yuluo Fleet were fighting fiercely, the Taotie Fleet suddenly emerged from an area and launched a direct attack on the Yanhuang Fleet.

Looking at the Taotie fleet that suddenly appeared on the right wing and launched a sneak attack, Xia Tonghui, commander of the Yanhuang Fleet, glanced at the Yuluo Fleet that was tightly entangled with it, and couldn't help but frowned.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Tonghui immediately abandoned part of the fleet. After approaching the enemy warship, the huge warship exploded instantly.

At the same time, the fleet's main guns were recharged and a large number of space fighters were dispatched to cooperate with the Zerg to launch a feint attack on the Taotie fleet.

After doing all this, Xia Tonghui immediately ordered the remaining warships to break away from the central station circle and break up into small units.

Seeing this, Ye Chen's eyes lit up, "It's quite interesting. It's very decisive to cut off one's own arm. Yuan Lan, retrieve the information of this little guy."

"promise!"

Looking at Xia Tonghui's information in front of him.

A series of detailed contents are included, from birth to admission to the military academy, performance in the military academy, participation in this interstellar war exercise plan, breaking out of the siege, etc.

In addition, there are also evaluations of him by officers and mentors at all levels. Among these evaluations, several show that Xia Tonghui has great flaws in his character.

Because of family reasons during his childhood, the other party suffers from a serious mental illness, which makes him seem out of place in ordinary life.

However, it is precisely because of this character flaw that he has demonstrated strong command capabilities, and his merits outweigh his flaws.

The opponent's style of commanding battles, due to his personality, made him very decisive, even to the point of being cold-blooded.

Ye Chen didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. After all, things on the battlefield changed rapidly and opportunities were fleeting.

It's better for a commander to be cold-blooded sometimes, than for some commanders to be emotional and indecisive.

After all, war is not a game of house, and it is inevitable that there will be casualties.

After reading the opponent's information, Ye Chen looked at Xia Tonghui's next fighting style below and nodded from time to time.

Obviously, the other party's command style was more to his liking.

at the same time.

This military exercise was broadcast live simultaneously on the official website of the Imperial Military, but no publicity was given.

Only some military enthusiasts habitually go to the official website to take a look.

Room 1103, Huaxin Community, Luocheng.

Luan Baifeng returned home from get off work, went back to his bedroom and turned on his computer. He habitually opened the tab of the military web page, and as soon as he entered, he saw the official military live broadcast at the top of the page.

When he saw the starry sky and the densely packed warships on the live broadcast cover, his eyes lit up.

As a battleship enthusiast, his dream is to join the Imperial Space Force one day.

After all, the sea of ​​stars is the future of mankind.

After entering the live broadcast room and turning on the virtual projection device, what suddenly appeared before my eyes was a sea of ​​stars, filled with broken meteorites and a glowing sun in the distance.

“Is this the asteroid belt of the solar system?”

Seeing so many meteorites, Luan Baifeng couldn't help but feel confused.

Then the screen in front of him split, and a small map of the entire solar system appeared, and a host in the live broadcast room gave an explanation of the military exercise.

Following the host's explanation, he realized that a real war drill was taking place in the asteroid belt outside the solar system.

After knowing this, he was speechless. He didn't expect that the imperial officials would be so low-key. Such a big event didn't even get any publicity.

He then quickly publicized this matter in the group chat of military enthusiasts.

"Luanhua Yixian, what kind of link are you sending? It can't be hehehehe!"

"Go to hell, your brother Luan is not that kind of person. And even if there is such a link, I dare not promote it randomly. I'm afraid that the law enforcement officers will check my water meter."

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. Just open the link I sent you and enter the official live broadcast of the military channel.

This time the authorities have made a big move, a real interstellar war exercise, and it uses live ammunition..."

"Is this true? If they use live ammunition, wouldn't the warship be scrapped if it gets hit?!"

"You are right. According to the live broadcast data, several warships have been destroyed, and the number is still increasing.

In addition, this real exercise also added a special type of troops, the Zerg.

I heard that this Zerg army is a biological weapon developed by goddess Luo Fangning, a scientific researcher."
