(Bonus for Ye Siyu from Jaluit Atoll's "God Certification"!)
The "Griffin" and "Star-level" strategic Yunhai ships were still carrying out missions outside. Chang Wei did not call them back because their missions were equally important.
Finding the whereabouts of the survivors of the Jedi Order and gathering them together is the best way to fight against Darth Vader and his Imperial Inquisition, as well as the Sith Emperor Palpatine and his Royal Guards.
After all, we were outnumbered, and Chang Wei's high-end combat power, especially hero units, was pitifully small. It was impossible for him to easily replicate the success of Zhong Kai, Rui Ge, and John's last battle. If he wasn't careful, if a powerful Inquisitor arrived, he might very well replicate the Sir's previous feat of destroying the ship single-handedly!
This...is definitely not what Chang Wei wants to see.
At least, so far, Chang Wei has been unable to recruit a heroic unit capable of rivaling the likes of Lord and Palpatine. His mission points have long been used up on fleet technology upgrades and the accelerated production of warships. Now, he can only place his hopes on the Jedi Masters. If Yoda, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Kanan Jarros, and Cal Kestis were still there, then there might still be hope.
The Light Chaser Fleet's main focus will be on fleet combat and ground troop combat, because if they cannot win in these two areas, then no matter how many heroic units they have, it will be in vain.
Therefore, elite special operations involving the Force and psionic power can only be carried out by the Jedi Knights and the small number of ghost troops.
However, there's good news. In the Star Wars universe, Luke's adopted father, Owen Lars, is just a farmer. It's unclear if Chang Wei's arrival triggered a butterfly effect, or if, like the "Southern Heaven Gate Project," this is actually a parallel world slightly different from the official Star Wars universe.
Anyway, Owen Lars is actually a Jedi now, and seems to be quite powerful. So... is he Sir Arthur's half-brother?
Chang Wei didn't investigate further, but simply sent someone to remind him not to be fooled by those Transformers who sold lightsaber toys. Those lightsabers were all high-quality imitations that looked impressive on the surface, but once they clashed with a real lightsaber, the sword would be destroyed and the person would die.
After the Griffin brings back the Kyber crystal, Chang Wei will give them to all the Jedi who have lost their lightsabers and make new ones.
Owen Lars had always wanted to see Chang Wei, but Chang Wei was too busy. These days, his schedule had been tightly packed with Imperial affairs. While preparing for the uprising, he was also connecting with rebel leaders from various regions to discuss future battle plans and strategic guidelines, leaving him with little personal time.
Seeing that Chang Wei had no time, Owen Lars had to ask someone to send a message, saying that he was guided by the Force and could help find the other surviving Jedi Masters.
After learning about this, Chang Wei immediately nodded in agreement and temporarily handed over the "Jiajun-class Star Destroyer" to him for command. Then, the two of them briefly greeted each other through a virtual projection, paying tribute to each other with their respective Jedi honorifics.
"Owen, be careful on your journey. May the Force be with you."
"You too, General. May the Force be with you."
The expressions of the two were extremely pious, and they were trying hard to maintain their personalities, just like Oscar winners, almost saying what was in their hearts...
This was just a minor incident from a week ago, nothing serious.
Now, Chang Wei is leading a huge fleet to fight.
As the first official battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, countless eyes were watching. If Chang Wei lost, or was beaten like a rat by the Imperial army, what difference would it make from the previous small-scale resistance? Wouldn't they still be crushed by the Empire?
This will undoubtedly disappoint those who are waiting and watching, and the confidence of the revolution will be dealt a heavy blow!
So no matter what, Chang Wei must face the battle head-on!
But there are also some things to pay attention to when facing a head-on battle. If you just defend the star zone and keep your weapons on guard, you will play into the enemy's hands!
Defenders generally have to hold onto key positions and can't easily move. Therefore, the enemy will inevitably employ tactics like dividing their forces to contain the enemy, launching an all-out attack, and gradually defeating them one by one, constantly eroding and shrinking the Rebel Alliance's living space, ultimately annihilating allied forces in various sectors, preventing them from providing timely assistance. Even if you do rescue them, they can employ tactics like "making a feint to the east and attacking in the west" or "encircling Wei to save Zhao," manipulating you and leaving you running for your life.
In this way, the initiative on the battlefield is completely in the hands of the opponent.
A great man once said, "Strategically, despise the enemy, but tactically, take him seriously." Whatever the enemy expects of us, we must do the opposite! Strategically, we must delay the enemy, confuse him, and cause him to misjudge and become confused.
Chang Wei had also read so many military books and works on strategic thinking, how could he not know this truth? So he did not intend to cater to the enemy's rhythm, but chose to take the initiative to attack!
He was preparing for a big battle, leading the entire fleet directly out of the star zone to engage in a head-on battle with the enemy.
At this time, the enemy had already begun to divide their forces and were planning to launch an all-out attack. At this moment, they saw the entire rebel alliance attacking with an attitude of fighting to the death, and were stunned for a moment.
"What are they doing? Not only aren't they defending, they're actually attacking! Isn't that courting death? Our army has almost five times more troops than theirs, and they still want to confront us head-on? Hahaha, the enemy commander is really overestimating his capabilities."
"Inform the 40,000 warships that have been dispatched to quickly turn around and encircle the rebel fleet from behind. If we completely destroy the rebel fleet here, they're finished. The remaining star regions, having lost their fleets, are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter!"
Faced with an Imperial fleet five times larger than their own and the impending three-way encirclement, no one knew how Chang Wei would command the battle next. However, out of trust in him, the members of the Light Chaser Fleet and the revolutionary comrades of the Rebel Alliance chose to entrust their lives to him.
Chang Wei sat on the bridge of the Hyperion, listening to Matt Horner's report with a leisurely gaze. When he knew that the enemy had taken the bait, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Sun Tzu said: 'If your force is ten times yours, surround it; if it is five times yours, attack it; if it is twice yours, fight it.' If you don't have ten times the enemy's force, don't rashly implement a strategy of encirclement and annihilation. Otherwise, a seemingly reasonable tactical arrangement will actually be the root of destruction!"
Chang Wei's expression became serious, his eyes gleaming with brilliance. A strong sense of confidence and a majestic aura instantly emerged! This time, as long as he commanded properly, he would be able to defeat the invading enemy!
