As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the more problems you will see. The higher the peak you climb, the more scenery you will see.
As the Warmaster of the Human Empire, Chang Wei's primary strategic perspective for this Great Crusade was primarily focused on the overall situation. Details of the gains and losses, casualties, and processes of individual battles were generally not reported to him, but rather presented as numerical briefings within reports on the overall strategic progress.
His job was to plan the overall strategic plan and, in emergencies, quickly coordinate offensive and defensive troop deployments, as well as the marching routes of the major fleets. He also urged all imperial colonies along the route to enter a state of war, strictly following their requirements to produce the necessary military components and recruit large numbers of new soldiers and food.
At the same time, before leaving, each major fleet will temporarily leave behind a group of scientific research ships or logistics and industrial ships to impart technology to the local planets, carry out materialistic education propaganda, deploy large-scale psychic jammers, ultra-quantum communication towers, and even build Dyson spheres and their corresponding wormhole star gates in the star system.
Once the mission is completed, they will leave and follow the main force to the next planet to continue the cycle.
Is your planet impoverished and backward? Energy-starved? Food-starved? A harsh environment? Fear not! The industrial mech, Ikaros, can help you maximize the development and utilization of your entire planet, or even the entire galaxy! All of this is automated and unmanned! Let all citizens of the Empire within the hive enjoy the convenience and comfort brought by technological advancements and rapid development, thereby enhancing everyone's sense of happiness, security, belonging, and unwavering faith in hope.
Chang Wei glanced at the data briefings sent back by the major fleets and said nothing. For now, the expedition was making good progress. The extermination of the aliens was going quite smoothly. It was the long list of casualty figures at the end of the briefing that was particularly glaring.
War is always mortal, especially in a galaxy as vast as this. Life fades away like a falling raindrop, fleeting. Beyond the splash and ripples it creates upon landing, what remains?
In space warfare, the Light Chasers possess technology and tactics that are truly ahead of their time. For those ignorant and fearless alien fleets, we offer a dimensionality-reduction attack. Want to board? Want to engage? Want to ram? Unless we allow it, you won't even stand a chance of reaching us. In most cases, before a warship can even be seen, it will be annihilated by the Light Chasers' beyond-visual-range strikes!
The occasional boarding battles were also to rescue the human compatriots who were abducted by aliens on the enemy warships.
When it comes to planetary warfare, the Lightseekers employ a strategy of devastation. Any planet uninhabited, without humans to save, or lacking strategic value will be completely destroyed by the Lightseekers, along with the aliens that inhabit it. Even if we humans don't want them, we won't leave them to you, the aliens!
This was also to minimize the massive casualties caused by landing battles. Furthermore, the mineral resources on the violently shattered planet could be more easily collected and stored by industrial ships, thus turning them into their own resources.
In short, except for a few tough "bones" that were still struggling to hold on, most of the aliens were slaughtered one-sidedly by the human army.
Naturally, this also aroused the hatred and revenge of many aliens. They began to break up into small groups, forming temporary fleets of various sizes, crossing the front battlefield and raiding the human colonies in the rear, creating boundless cruelty and killing!
However, their actions were merely their last desperate struggles. If they were caught by the fleet that quickly returned to support them, they would be utterly annihilated.
But to be honest, whether in defense or offense, the casualties in landing battles are extremely tragic! This is also the main reason for the casualties of the major fleets.
Countless heroic stories unfolded, but those stories, told from the perspective of ordinary people, depicted localized, tragic victories and their indomitable spirit. On a battlefield involving hundreds of millions or even billions of people, they wouldn't even make a single splash.
Although their deeds played a minimal role in the overall war, it did not mean that Chang Wei would choose to ignore and despise them.
Whenever he has free time, Chang Wei will take the time to read the battle reports of those little heroes one by one, because only after knowing their deeds can Chang Wei better understand what what he has done means to countless people, and what significance and responsibility it has!
In these heroic deeds, Chang Wei witnessed the Krieg soldiers, fearless of death, braved a hail of bullets, and launched a fearless charge with unwavering morale. He saw the Cadian Legion, standing firm under difficult circumstances and siege. He saw the tearful scenes of the meticulously trained orphans, a group of loyal Stormtroopers, facing a huge outnumbered enemy, fighting ten to one, adhering to the Emperor's will, and ultimately perishing alongside the enemy.
There are so many heroic deeds of these little people that Chang Wei may not be able to finish reading them all in his entire life.
It can be said that their deaths were caused by Chang Wei's expedition. But they also understood that if they did not choose to sacrifice now, then the sacrifice would be left to the next generation and the future of mankind.
If this expedition is not launched, the fate of the future of mankind may continue to be wailing and screaming under the butcher knives of various alien creatures. Life and death are just around the corner!
