Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

With encouragement from Shen Moshen, the emperor of the empire.

With renewed faith and determination, the people of Daqian threw themselves into the revenge war three months later with even greater enthusiasm.

The imperial court has officially issued a nationwide conscription order—preparing to rapidly expand the size of the imperial army to one hundred million worldwide!

The Interstellar Operations Command is also working diligently to develop new operational plans.

"My suggestion is to mobilize 4000 million troops at once."

"To launch simultaneous military action from four directions on the main star of Badaf."

"Form four interstellar expeditionary forces with a combined strength of tens of millions each, and complete the full-scale conquest of Badaf Main Planet in one fell swoop!"

Zhao Quanyi, senior strategic advisor of the Interstellar Operations Command, displayed his strategic layout map on the big screen and explained it to everyone.

"Before landing, we will drop super bombs with the power of 10 billion tons of TNT from four directions onto the main star of Badav."

"This phase aims to give the main star of Badaf a complete and thorough baptism!"

"Theoretically speaking, such a powerful strike would be enough to cause a devastating blow to the massive main planet of Badav."

"After this phase of the attack, we will directly reduce the size of Badaf's main planet by at least one-third or even more!"

Zhao Quanyi pulled up a full-dimensional comparison demonstration image to show everyone: "Just how powerful is such a strike?"

"You can refer to this comparison chart."

"Taking Qianxing as an example, the destructive power of 400 billion tons of TNT is enough to destroy Qianxing more than ten times over!"

"Therefore, after careful analysis and calculation, we have concluded that if this phase of the attack continues, the main planet of Badaf will definitely shrink considerably!"

"Compared to the localized firepower preparations made in previous landing operations."

"What we're doing this time is a comprehensive firepower cleanup covering the entire main planet of Badav."

"If this plan is successfully implemented, its advantage lies in its stability."

Zhao Quanyi said solemnly, "At least, based on our hundreds of comprehensive simulations."

"With this level of attack, we have absolutely no worries about repeating the mistakes of the first interstellar expedition."

"Don't worry about our main force being surrounded and attacked by the Zerg after landing on Badaf Prime!"

"However, the downside is that—through exploration, it was discovered that a unique rare metal exists on the main star of Badav."

"This rare metal, unique to the main star Badav, can be used in the production of superalloys."

"Moreover, using this rare metal to replace the special metals we currently use will not only yield super alloys of higher quality."

"It will also directly reduce manufacturing costs by two-thirds!"

"The interstellar weapons we manufacture now are basically inseparable from superalloys."

"So, after taking over Badaf Prime and completely annihilating the Zerg."

"The various resources on Badaf's main planet will also be our greatest post-war gains."

"And the rare metal I just mentioned, which can be used to manufacture superalloys, is still found in considerable reserves on the main planet of Badav."

"but.............."

Zhao Quanyi looked at everyone present and sighed, "This rare metal is almost entirely concentrated in the geological layer about a thousand meters deep on the main star of Badaf."

"In other words—under our comprehensive and intense purge."

"After the massive purge, these rare metals on the main planet Badav will probably be extinct..."

"From the perspective of the long-term development of the entire empire—this is undoubtedly a very huge loss."

"Therefore, everything has its advantages and disadvantages."

Zhao Quanyi shrugged and concluded, "As I just said—the biggest advantage of this plan is its 'safety'!"

"Having paid such a huge price, it's simply impossible for the Badaf Zerg to launch an attack of the same scale as last time against our landing forces!"

"I can be 100% sure of that."

"But the drawbacks are also quite obvious and very obvious."

"That is—to carry out a full-scale, all-out purge with this level of firepower."

"Besides consuming a huge amount of resources, we'll also completely destroy the rare metal mentioned earlier..."

"To put it bluntly, the long-term losses are incalculable."

"I understand."

"This battle plan can be summarized as three fours."

The newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Interstellar Operations Command, Han Yunsheng, nodded: "The explosive power of 40 billion tons of TNT will give the main planet of Badav a complete and thorough baptism."

"Then—a massive force of 40 million troops will be deployed from four directions to land on the main planet of Badaf and carry out a complete and thorough annihilation of the Zerg!"

"Yes!" Zhao Quanyi gave an affirmative response.

"If we execute your battle plan..."

Han Yunsheng scrolled through the smart screen in front of him, carefully examining the relevant data for the battle plan.

"Is it possible to complete the preparation in three months?"

"His Majesty has already made a promise in front of the whole world—within three months at most, the Imperial army will launch a retaliatory war against the main planet Badav!"

"The most important question is whether we can produce a super bomb with a yield of 400 billion tons in three months!"

“We have calculated that if the Empire goes all out and spares no expense, the super bombs needed for the operation can be completed in two and a half months.”

"Two and a half months............."

Han Yunsheng tapped his fingers thoughtfully on the table: "So, there's still enough time."

"Is this the safest operational plan among all our options?"

Han Yunsheng looked around at everyone and confirmed, "Is this also the most effective combat plan?"

"Yes! If we disregard the enormous losses."

"The plan devised by Consultant Zhao is not only the most reliable and efficient."

"And it's the simplest and most direct way..." someone immediately provided the answer.

"it is good!"

"If that's the case, then there's nothing to hesitate about."

Upon hearing this, Han Yunsheng immediately made up his mind: "His Majesty has already spoken."

"This time, we must devise the most effective revenge plan."

"We must never allow the tragedy of the Interstellar Expeditionary Force's annihilation to repeat itself."

"Our revenge operation must not only be efficient, but also achieve our operational objectives with minimal casualties."

"So, all the shortcomings and drawbacks of the plan that Consultant Zhao just mentioned."

"In the context of our Great Qian Dynasty, it is not really a drawback."

"His Majesty had already stated that as long as the casualties of the troops can be reduced, it doesn't matter if more resources and money are consumed."

"On this issue, His Majesty has always put people first."

"Moreover, our Great Qian army has never had any concept of waste in battle."

"So, as long as there is enough time, there is no problem with this plan."

Han Yunsheng made the decision again: "It's settled then!"

"Consultant Zhao, please prepare a detailed plan and submit it to me immediately."

"I will personally report this plan to His Majesty immediately."

"Let's start making preparations."

"His Majesty should have no doubts about this plan..."

-------------------------------------

"Assuming there are no issues with the super bomb's production schedule."

"There are basically no other problems."

"The force of 40 million interstellar expeditionary troops can be mobilized at any time."

"At the empire's current pace of production, which is proceeding day and night."

"Three months later, we will have more than 40 million interstellar warships."

"It wouldn't be a problem to transport 400 million troops to the main planet of Badaf."

"Now we face a most serious problem."

At this point, Han Yunsheng's expression also turned serious: "The space magnetic field storm that caused the 300 million-strong interstellar expeditionary force..."

"Until we figure out the cause of that sudden magnetic field storm in space, none of our combat plans can be implemented properly!"

"Just think about it—if a force of forty million were to march out, what if another space magnetic field storm suddenly struck..."

"The consequences are simply unimaginable!"

"Commander-in-Chief, we have found a solution to this problem."

The chief technology communications officer of the Interstellar Operations Command reported to Han Yunsheng: "Although we have not yet figured out the cause of the space magnetic field storm that covered the main star field of Badaf."

"However, we changed our approach."

"That means we have fully upgraded our communication and anti-interference systems."

"We have broken through new technological barriers in these two areas."

"This is absolutely a leap forward, a comprehensive leap, and a qualitative change!"

"Through our tests—using the previous space magnetic field storm as a comparison—our communication system can still function normally even when the intensity is more than 300 times that of the storm."

"It would take a thousand times the intensity to barely affect the signal of the communication system."

"If we were to completely paralyze our communication systems, it would require at least 100,000 times the intensity."

"Therefore, even if we encounter another space magnetic field storm, we don't need to worry about it affecting our communications at all."

The Chief Technology Communications Officer assured us with absolute certainty: "In other words, whether or not we understand the cause of the magnetic field storm in space will not affect our military operations against Badav Main Star."

"it is good!"

"Truly, Heaven blesses our Great Qian!"

"This revolutionary breakthrough in communication technology came at just the right time!"

Upon hearing this, Han Yunsheng said excitedly, "If the communication problem is also solved, then our battle plan will have no obstacles."

"However, the appearance of that space magnetic storm that caused the annihilation of the interstellar expeditionary force was too strange."

"We still need to find a way to investigate the cause of the space magnetic field storm as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, this will always be a thorn in our side..."

"While preparing for the war of revenge, we must also thoroughly investigate the truth and process of the destruction of the interstellar expeditionary force as soon as possible."

Han Yunsheng looked around at everyone and instructed, "We must continue to intensify our search and rescue efforts for the survivors on Badaf Main Star."

"We will rescue even one survivor from the interstellar expedition!"

"Never abandon, never give up."

"This is an unchanging tradition of our Great Qian Army."

"In particular, we must intensify our efforts to search for Zhuo Tianzhi, the commander of the interstellar expeditionary force."

"We cannot give up until the death is confirmed."

"Based on simulation analysis, Commander Zhuo's chances of survival are still quite high."

"If Commander Zhuo were still alive, many details from that time would be declassified..."

"The Xuanwu-class emergency escape ship's defensive capabilities are still very reliable."

"Moreover, the ship's emergency life support system is also the most advanced available at present."

The interstellar operations command weapons development officer analyzed, "If Commander Zhuo successfully boards the Xuanwu-class escape ship..."

"The chances of surviving are still very high."

"In addition, the Xuanwu-class escape ship is also equipped with emergency nutrition packs."

"The emergency energy capsules inside can meet the water and food needs of ten people for three months."

"In other words—if we assume that Commander Zhuo had ten people with him who survived and were not discovered by the Zerg."

"They can hold out on Badav Main for at least three months."

"Hmm." Han Yunsheng nodded solemnly: "I hope Zhuo Tianzhi and the others can escape this calamity."

"If we can find the survivors of this devastating defeat, many of the truths will become clear."

"We cannot rest easy until the truth behind the destruction of the interstellar expedition is revealed."

"We have no way to explain this to His Majesty, to the people of the Great Qian Dynasty, or to the families of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the main star of Badaf!"

"It seems the Badaf Zerg's war tactics and strategies are indeed quite sophisticated..."

Han Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh, "No matter what—the way they managed to lure us into their trap step by step, with such meticulous detail, is truly terrifying to contemplate..."

"We have to admit—the commanders of the Badaf Zerg are no less skilled in military strategy than we are!"

"Their scheming methods are in no way inferior to ours..."

"Therefore, this time we must prioritize a steady and pragmatic approach no matter what!"

Han Yunsheng said solemnly, "This is also the most important reason why I directly decided to adopt Consultant Zhao's plan."

"Nothing is more important than the word 'safety'."

"We must win this battle; we cannot afford to lose."

"We absolutely cannot let His Majesty lose face..."
