Benson said, "Grand Marshal, how fast is your raiding fleet sailing?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Xin told Benson the speed.
After listening to this, Benson took a deep breath. He finally realized that his defeat was not unfair.
He thought that Li Xin's fleet had sneaked in early in the morning, but he didn't expect that they would first attack Tianlu and then quickly launch a surprise attack on his own.
Benson smiled bitterly: "Grand Marshal, you are really powerful!"
Then he said, "I suggest returning to the Fornax."
"The importance of Fornax is definitely greater than that of a space combat group attacking Duncan."
"The Fornax star region has five super-large space docks, more than ten industrial worlds, and other well-developed planets throughout the star region."
"This is one of the original core areas of Lidadas Capital. Occupying the Fornax constellation will significantly reduce the logistical pressure on the Galaxy Defense Group."
"Being able to save a lot of resources is definitely a good thing for a long-term war."
"If the vanguard of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony captures Fornax, this fundamental strategic stronghold will be lost."
Then, Benson pointed at Adams and said, "You may not know, Marshal, but I once worked with Adams for a period of time."
"Adams is a brutal and hesitant person. He is now interested in forming an alliance with Duncan for two main reasons."
"First, Adams and General Owen had a conflict before the warp storm. The two had a bad relationship. After the warp storm ended, they clashed and fought for control of the galaxy, and a bloody war broke out."
"Secondly, Duncan is willing to accept Adams and guarantee that his power will not change. His existing planets will still be under his direct jurisdiction."
“Duncan and Adams can form a joint administrative unit of Lidadas Capital, becoming two large factions within the capital.”
"In this way, even after defeating Irving, Adams' power will basically not change. That's why Adams is willing to form an alliance with Duncan."
Benson turned to look at Li Xin and said, "But as I said before, Adams hesitates easily and has trouble making up his mind."
"Although they favor Duncan, they still haven't signed a contract, which shows everything."
"Now the Grand Marshal has defeated the space battle group I led and occupied Fornax. This is a bad signal for Adams and will only exacerbate his hesitation."
"I think Adams must be regretting it now and hesitating whether to continue the alliance with Duncan."
After listening to this, Li Xin looked at Liu Yang and other senior military officers, and had an idea in his mind.
Liu Yang asked, "General Benson, do you mean that we can contact Adams and bring him into our camp?"
Benson nodded and said, "That's right. My suggestion is to contact Adams. Even if we can't successfully recruit Adams, it can make him more hesitant and reduce the possibility of reinforcing Duncan."
"But there is a prerequisite for this, and that is General Owen's side."
"General Irving and Adams have a grudge against each other, which makes it difficult for them to trust each other."
Benson finished speaking and looked at Li Xin.
Li Xin nodded and said, "General Benson's joining is really good news for us."
After a moment's silence, he said, "We maintain a friendly attitude towards Adams. If we can get him into our team, it will definitely be good news."
"In this way, the Carlisle left behind by Duncan will never be a match for Owen. Owen will be able to quickly support us with his fleet, or sweep through other star systems of Lidadas Capital and set Duncan's nest on fire."
"His feud with Adams is not an issue. I believe Irving will make the right choice."
Li Xin looked at one of his staff officers and ordered, "Summon General Owen immediately and ask him to find a way to reconcile with Adams."
"We also need to contact Adams ourselves to increase their trust in this incident!"
The staff officer nodded heavily and said, "Yes! Marshal! I'll do it right away!"
Fan Lai, who was standing by, said, "Grand Marshal, since Adams is hesitant, we should also seize this opportunity."
Li Xin looked over and asked, "Tell me in detail."
Fan said, "General Benson knows Adams's hesitant character, so Duncan must know it too."
"If we release this news while we are in contact with Adams!"
"Whether Adams can sign an alliance with us is still unknown, but even if this news is released, it will be enough to alienate the relationship between Adams and Duncan."
"As long as Adams hesitates, General Owen's five space battle groups can take advantage of the situation and directly devour Carlisle's three space battle groups."
"By then, even if Adams doesn't form an alliance with us, he will have to come and form an alliance with us."
After listening to this, Li Xin nodded continuously.
Even Benson, although he didn't say anything, had a look of certainty on his face.
So, Li Xin made another arrangement and said, "Then do as Fan said. After contacting Adams, release some false information appropriately."
"Let old Duncan be scared for a while!"
After learning all this, Li Xin made a decision.
We don't plan to chase Duncan's space fleet anymore, as it's easy for variables to arise.
He planned to return to Tianlu constellation first to reap the fruits of victory in this star field.
After leaving the ship, Li Xin once again used his powerful psychic power to gather the fleet and fly towards Tianlu. It took more than three months for Li Xin to return to Tianlu.
The atmosphere in Tianlu was indeed quite chaotic.
Even though most of the fleet's officers are from the Galactic Defense Corporation, about half of the soldiers are locals from Fornax.
There are many veterans of Lidadas Capital.
The vast majority of people have no opinion on who is the boss above them.
But there are still some people who are easily instigated and have rebellious thoughts.
Fortunately, before the situation really changed, Li Xin returned to Tianlu with the medium and large warships of the task force strike group.
With the return of the powerful fleet, the atmosphere in Tianlu constellation, which had changed a little, recovered instantly.
In more than half a year, the vanguard fleet of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony, about 20,000 main battleships, will arrive at Fornax.
During this period, Li Xin did not plan to take the fleet out for a raid. Instead, he began to reorganize the existing fleet and strengthen the loyalty of this part of the fleet.
He planned to rely on the Tianlu Tower Fortress to establish a defense node.
