Him and their stars

The Central Defense University's fleet command simulation combat system, called "Apprentice Admiral OL", is a flagship military education product designed by the alliance.

AI will make a rough estimate of the combat effectiveness of the main fleets of existing countries, and then give a numerical unit of 10,000. For example, the number of assault ships is 10, and the number of dreadnoughts is 500. The commander can build and organize his own fleet based on these data units. Of course you can go to the extreme and add 1,000 assault ships or 20 dreadnoughts, but we all know that unless it is under special circumstances, those who go to the extreme will basically die miserably.

For onlookers who regard the simulated battle as a war blockbuster, how both sides choose to form their fleets is already a major attraction.

Of course, auxiliary command computers cannot completely replace millions of sailors, stormtroopers, and officers at all levels, nor can they completely reproduce morale, fighting spirit, and mysterious psychic effects. However, this is a simulation battle anyway, as long as a rough average can be achieved. Anyway, so far, no one has expressed much doubt about the calculation of this system. This is also the mainstream application system in military education around the world.

Yu Lian felt that this design was not very reasonable. A truly excellent commander should not study defeating enemies of equal strength with existing troops, or at least should not focus most of his energy here. What should be considered is how to defeat the opponent's forces in the shortest possible time on a specific battlefield and annihilate them together.

As the saying goes, it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them. This is what Yu Lian admires most, Teacher Li, taught him.

But no matter what, this battle must be fought now.

For Thomas Plant...that hard-working, upright, gentle classmate who had his future taken away from him.

Give me strength! You must be alive and well though, Toby!

Yu Lian began to organize his own fleet, and his choice immediately caused an uproar. This time there was no "woo" because everyone was shocked.

Yu Company did not carry out the conventional strategic formation as everyone imagined. The formation of assault ships dropped to the extreme, with less than 200 ships remaining. Moreover, he chose a Lancer type that the alliance finalized three years ago. This kind of assault ship has limited space and can only carry a maximum of twenty stormtroopers. However, it has enhanced maneuverability, flexibility, and more close firepower. It is also creatively equipped with a new type of mirror shield.

This design from Shuguang Design Bureau was ridiculed by the crowd when it was first announced. After all, what’s the point of existence of an assault ship that can’t charge into battle with the assault landing craft formation and play gang-hopping?

So, until now, even the Alliance Navy has only purchased dozens of them as an experimental force as a courtesy.

"Apprentice Admiral" is indeed the best tactical simulation system sold by the Alliance. As long as you pay enough money for upgrades, all ship information in the database will be updated. Even new ships that have just launched into the sea can be selected, and their data are of course exactly the same as those disclosed by the media and officials.

It seems that the Central Defense University has paid enough for the upgrade. It is probably the only military school in the entire community that has paid enough.

Yu Lian started to choose again. This time, his choice was something that even his own people couldn't understand.

"Fina... How come this guy went to participate in an internship and came back changed?" Annie asked in a low voice.

"My personality hasn't changed much, but I've become more conservative in my heart!" Zhixia sighed: "I heard that he was seriously injured. It sounds heartbreaking."

"Of course Lian Jun is still Lian Jun, just more mature." Liuli smiled quietly.

Feifei said nothing and continued to smile. Just sitting there, she looked like the fairy Chang'e covered in moonlight.

Yu Lian creatively chose forty arsenal ships and thirty aircraft carriers - and they were not Lexington's assault armored aircraft carriers, they were all very standard large carrier aircraft carriers, with all kinds of fighters on them, including manned aircraft carriers. There are tens of thousands of unmanned ones.

As for the arsenal ship, it is the Imperial Executioner class that was finalized more than 40 years ago. It is an extreme firepower type. It is equipped with four large-caliber rail guns, four gamma ray cannons, and a tachyon light spear cannon. In addition, there are densely packed launch holes all over the body, and a single salvo can launch double-digit proton torpedoes and triple-digit missiles.

However, this extreme firepower means that its own defense is also very fragile. Once it is penetrated and landed by enemy assault ships and assault boats, the entire ship may become the most dangerous and deadly flash point.

During the War of Independence, the Imperial fleet composed of more than forty Executioner-class ships was overwhelmed by Marshal Zyrico's small assault ship group. The weapons each of them carried were enough to turn the entire earth into a doomsday wasteland, but they all turned into huge torches in the sky of the Centauri star.

Since then, this kind of ship has been removed from the navy of various countries.

In fact, Yu Lian didn't think the Executioner was a good ship, at least its damage control design was a mess. However, isn’t there no other choice?

Oops, I really hope that the God of Punishment will serve soon! Do I remember whether it will be next year or the year after? Huh, it seems that even after serving, it is not valued by the empire, and as a matter of habit, it is open to allied (xiao) countries (di) for purchase and even production. Should I find a vest and get the production license?

Eh... If I had known better, I wouldn't have offended that golden retriever and her red-haired follower.

Yu Lian's final choice was six Dreadnoughts and forty guard ships, all of which were big turtles with thick shells and long blood stripes. One yard in the universe is an indestructible wall.

"Has this guy completely given up on gang fighting? Are you going to rely on firepower to decide the outcome?" Unlike the rest of his companions who were a little confused, Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses and felt that he seemed to have captured something.

Later, he saw that Yu Lian's selection of dreadnoughts were all models focused on protection, and he confirmed his idea.

Akinayama Hachiman wanted to remind Wayne, but he knew that doing so was against the rules, and with the latter's arrogance, even if he knew that he might fall into the opponent's dense firepower network, he would still be firm in his tactical choices.

On the other side, Wayne also completed his formation. He was working hard in the computer room and couldn't hear any sounds from the outside world. He was not prepared to observe the opponent's formation. On the one hand, this was suspected of cheating and was not in line with his arrogant personality. On the other hand, he had always agreed with the father of the country, Marshal Li Li, on his attitude toward war.

"He hits his, I hit mine!"

To put it bluntly, play your own style and don’t dance to your opponent’s tune.

Six dreadnoughts, twelve battle cruisers, as well as a small number of auxiliary ships and a relatively large assault fleet group. This is the choice he made.

By the way, since Titan ships are special hero units, they cannot be simulated by a mere computer software. So fearlessness is the limit that everyone can choose in this "Apprentice Admiral OL".

Of course, Venn's fleet formation is actually a relatively extreme choice. It is completely prepared to rush into the enemy's formation and fight a bad battle. However, Wayne is very confident in his fleet operations, and he will be able to make it rotten but not chaotic, and chaotic but not damaged.

The dreadnoughts he chose were also types with high speed, fierce firepower, and strong assault capabilities. This was indeed in line with his aggressive character.

The audience started cheering. Although Wayne's choice is a bit extreme, it is within the scope of everyone's common sense, and it is very hot and beautiful. Just like on the football field, when someone sets up a 433 formation and attacks aggressively, it always makes people feel excited.

As for Yu Lian... Well, does ten and zero count?

Then, the battle between the aggressive flow, which is extreme but still within the scope of common sense, and the extreme turtle flow, which is beyond common sense, begins.

As the battle unfolded, Wayne was indeed taken aback by this extreme formation. He still remembered that the last time he had a simulated battle with Yu Lian, the opponent's choices were similar to his own, and they were all high-speed assault tactics. The fighting was indeed fierce, with assaults, strangulations, chaotic battles, ship seizures and counter-seizings, encirclement and counter-encirclement, which made the onlookers around them excited and intoxicated.

To use a football field as an analogy, it is a passionate and exciting goal battle.

But now, 433 is driving a bus, what the hell is the point?

"Coward!" Wayne sighed, thinking that if you fight with me to the end, I will respect you as a man, but now... Huh, I misjudged you! Does your temperament change after being injured once?

According to the original plan, he spread out the battleships, taking the powerfully defensive dreadnoughts and battlecruiser groups as the forerunners, and began to advance while firing salvos. The auxiliary fleet also began the first round of fire support projection.

There is actually nothing new about this assault tactic, but the reason why it is not new is because it is so easy to use that it has been overused. Besides, no matter how mediocre a tactic is, it all depends on who is using it. At least Horatio Wayne, who seemed to be extremely domineering and reckless, was a man who was very good at fleet sports.

He just plays recklessly, but he is not reckless at all in what he does.

The main artillery bombardment of the assault fleet did not cause much shake to the Turtle Formation of the remaining company, which was what he had expected. As a result, he made a decisive decision and began to divide his troops.

The assault fleet relied on its small body and flexible movements to rush towards the opponent's front with a roar. However, the indifferent subordinates, Battle Patrol and Fearless, performed a very beautiful turn in front of the enemy, turning their heads and pounced towards Yu Lian's side.

Arsenal ships and guard ships are both heavy-duty special warships, and their speed and steering are not very flexible. This is why they cannot participate in chaotic battles.

But at this time, Hulala's fighter jets and drones had already poured out of Yulian's guard ship group, and were strangled with Wien's assault ships and fighter jets.

No one thought that in this (simulated) fleet battle, the most brutal strangulation battle would actually break out between these small ships.

Just like in the Cold Weapon Age, it is hard to accept that the most intense battle situation of a big battle actually occurs between unarmored light infantry.

At this time, Wayne, who had just completed his turn in front of the enemy, was also attacked head-on by Yu Lian.
