Chapter 608: Dark Battlefield
"boom……"
The deputy widened his eyes in surprise. For the first time, he truly witnessed the power of the legendary Rhea's triangular air control and multi-level missile interception theory.
A total of 20 interceptors, three of each, netted a dummy warhead. The three dummy warheads formed a new triangular net, entwined with each other, creating a multi-layered air control effect...
"boom!"
The shockwaves from the interceptor missiles and meteorite bombs resonated outward in near-space, creating invisible air waves that instantly reduced meteorites and other objects within a hundred units to ash, including satellites and numerous small repeaters.
White noise interference appeared on the communication image in front of Ivan. He frowned and slowly said two words: "Lian Yi!"
For Rui Yasuo's triangle air control, all points must be accurately grasped, with an error of almost less than 0.01 standard units, in order to achieve the most perfect interception under ideal conditions!
Anyone who can do this must have reached an astonishing level of mental synchronization.
Ivan twitched his lips and said, "GLONASS, keep locking on."
"Okay, Major General Ivan," Qingcang's artificial intelligence responded calmly.
A new round of long-range offensive was launched again, and the space fortress's turrets fine-tuned their direction.
In the context of information warfare, Natasha's closure has already put this confrontation in an unfair position.
Federation operations rely entirely on manual intervention, and the massive amount of information can easily lead to fatigue and negligence.
The deputy stared at the light screen, "They're coming again."
"Four units..."
"Three units..."
"Major General Lian!" the deputy urged with sweaty palms.
Lian Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at the light spot locked by the radar, but he did not move.
"It's too late..." the deputy muttered to himself.
At this moment, Lian Yi tightened his grip, and a series of interceptor missiles flew out, colliding head-on with the oncoming missiles.
The deputy couldn't help but cover his eyes with his right hand to block out the countless bright lights. At this moment, he understood what Lian Yi's intention was.
He was using blast waves to indiscriminately sweep satellites and repeaters, trying to narrow the information gap between the enemy and us.
The deputy was stunned. He really didn't expect that this could be done.
There are many types of satellites, including low-Earth orbit reconnaissance satellites, early warning satellites, communication and command satellites, dual-use navigation satellites, and so on.
Logically, cleaning satellites before launching an information war should be a standard tactic, but strangely, this is not done. There are two main reasons for this.
First of all, although satellites are expensive, if you can build one, you can build a hundred, and it is difficult to clear them all.
Secondly, satellites will, to a certain extent, be bundled with nuclear bombs, making them more suitable as deterrent materials.
The impact of satellites on the war situation lies not in their function, but in the uncertainty of the warring parties about whether to activate nuclear bombs.
Admittedly, there are many ways to monitor strategic missiles, but using early warning satellites to provide early warning of the infrared signals of the tail flames of land-based missiles during their ascent phase is still a very effective means.
If the early warning satellites were eliminated on a large scale, the warring parties would be caught in a prisoner's dilemma.
Some psychologists have deduced that at this time, the warring parties will most likely launch the ultimate nuclear bomb attack, which will be the self-destruction of mankind.
Why?
Because one-way opacity on the battlefield is unacceptable, satellites are the cause of one-way opacity.
In the case of being unable to capture the opponent's information:
The disadvantaged party will think, I am about to be crippled, should I launch a nuclear bomb?
The advantaged party will think, how do I know they didn't launch a nuclear bomb?
Both sides will think, what will be the consequences if he launches and I don’t?
The art of thick black comes into play at this time, and the idea that the probability of the other party launching a nuclear bomb is more than 50% prevails.
As for misjudgment?
First, I have to rule out the possibility that the other party didn't misjudge. Then, I have to rule out the possibility that my judgment that he didn't misjudge was itself a misjudgment. And then, I have to rule out the possibility that the other party didn't misjudge.
Therefore, the most beneficial result for our side is that everyone throws mushrooms together and finishes the game together.
Therefore, on habitable planets where both sides have residents, the warring parties will tacitly choose not to be the first to clear the battlefield satellites.
However, the battle situation at this time has certain special features.
Both sides are playing away games, and Alpha is determined to capture this planet. He needs to station troops here, and naturally will not tolerate decades of radiation.
Therefore, judging comprehensively, even under one-way opacity, the probability of them carrying and using nuclear bombs is relatively small.
On the battlefield, strength is used to add icing on the cake and bully the weak.
Faced with a clear disadvantage on his side, Lian Yi chose to render the Alpha's GLONASS artificial intelligence useless in order to make up for the asymmetry caused by Natasha's absence.
Ivan twitched his lips coldly: "Haha... do you want both sides to enter a completely dark battlefield?"
"As you wish!"
"XJ01-13 Asteroid Belt, increase our forces and contain them."
"Go seize the jump point near Tuyan Dixing and block the federal reinforcements."
"It's almost time to start a ground war..."
“Swish, swish, swish…”
With the successful space interception, Xu Haidi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed his wrinkled face, trying to save face for his earlier gaffe. "I'll definitely sue them in interstellar court!"
Yun Mo pointed at the screen and reminded, "Colonel Xu, signal!"
As she finished speaking, the command screen blurred once more. They only had time to see aircraft carriers engaged in intense exchanges of fire in near space, large warships landing on the ground, and the enemy mecha soldiers pouring out...
Communication can still be done using repeaters, but monitoring the status of both parties is no longer possible.
The war situation seemed to have suddenly returned to hundreds of years ago, and the original reliance on the command and combat system once again shifted to reliance on the commander's own abilities.
Yu Anqi walked in from outside, his face so solemn that water could drip out of it.
Only he knew the tremendous pressure the Federation was under in responding to this hasty battle.
The new jump point not only brought new opportunities, but also further dispersed their forces.
It would take several days to reach the central star and the nearest base by jumping to the point. Now the Tail Flower Star Field has become a mess, and Tu Yandi's jump point cannot be used. It will take several times longer for reinforcements to arrive.
Yun Mo's eyes wandered between several huge star maps, and the previous distribution of forces was clearly visible.
If it were her, on such a chaotic planet, facing the Federation with permanent troops stationed there, the best option would definitely be to start a group fight.
Therefore, when Alpha leaves, he will definitely instigate the government forces he supports to turn against him, and then they will face more threats.
Of Wolfe's five major factions, how many can he use for his own benefit? How loyal are they? How can he form a strong strategic deployment to hold out until reinforcements arrive? These are the pressing questions that need to be addressed.
"Tell me something," Yu Anqi swept his eyes over the crowd, ready to listen to their opinions first.
