Upon seeing Emperor Xiaolong's arrival, these military staff officers immediately stood up straight and saluted His Majesty.

Zhao Chen nodded slightly and walked through these departments.

He saw some battle plan models, and even interstellar maps of a universe that could devour civilizations, interstellar legion fleet models, and so on.

It's clear that the military staff officers here are all pondering the idea of ​​devouring their rival, civilization.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!"

After passing through this space, Zhao Chen stood in front of a small door to a private room.

Lilith reached the door before Zhao Chen, used her authority to open it directly, and then made way for Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen entered the private room.

This private room is much smaller than the outside space.

There is only one long, curved table.

At this moment, most of the seats at the long table were occupied by people.

Almost all the marshals of the Dragon Star Empire were present, with only a few commanders who were away on combat missions absent.

For example, Marshal Leona, the commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Falcon Dragons in charge of the Cancer Interstellar Civilization universe.

In order to ensure that over 99% of the Cancer interstellar civilization's territory is controlled by a few supported interstellar civilization forces within this year.

Marshal Leona was simply too busy to attend, and even for this New Year's Eve ceremony, she only sent one of her fleet group's vice commanders back.

He was the only Imperial Marshal who was not present.

Zhao Chen expressed his understanding and even sent someone to convey his regards.

Zhao Chen looked at the people present.

Charlotte, Shen Bing, Chu Xuan, Medusa, Chi Tong, Su Lan, Zhao Wan'er, Wolf Girl Bai Xue, Zhao Ruyue, Wei Shishi, Qing Man, Midor, Pei Shengnan...

The lowest rank were all newly promoted marshals.

"Your Majesty." The people in the private room stood up and bowed when they saw Zhao Chen arrive.

Zhao Chen walked to Charlotte's seat and gestured for everyone to sit down. He sat down without any hesitation.

He glanced at Charlotte beside him, smiled faintly, and whispered, "I heard you've prepared a big gift for me today."

"I only hope Your Majesty will not blame me for overstepping my authority." Charlotte winked playfully at Zhao Chen.

Then Zhao Chen sat up straight and said, "If everyone is here, let's begin."

Stop wasting time with nonsense and get straight to your plans.

Seeing Emperor Xiaolong say this.

Charlotte, being the person in charge here, naturally got straight to the point.

She stood up, looked around, and then said, "Let's begin this military meeting."

This military conference is to finalize the operational plan that we have discussed many times before.

This was also the first time I had mentioned this matter in front of His Majesty.

If His Majesty has made the decision, then the next step is actual implementation.

Before implementation, we must eliminate all unstable factors!

Charlotte opened an interstellar sandbox in front of Zhao Chen.

This is a relatively unfamiliar interstellar sandbox.

However, Zhao Chen was not entirely unfamiliar with the locations. After recognizing a few, relevant information came to mind.

A map of the interstellar universe that devours civilizations!

"This is currently the most detailed interstellar war sandbox map we have available regarding the Devouring Civilization universe."

On one hand, there is the intelligence information reported back by our interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships that are currently deployed in the universe of devouring civilizations and are still in a dormant state.

On the other hand, it relied on information provided by the Holy Elf Empire, as well as information gathered from other sources.

The final version of this interstellar sandbox map depicting a universe that devours civilizations.

In addition to the most basic star map coordinates, we have also marked all the known important locations on it.

For example, the star systems where the three monarchs of the Devouring Civilization each had their main bases.

Charlotte then marked three locations on the interstellar war sandbox, which together formed a triangle.

Located in three regions of this universe that devours civilizations.

In addition, important high-value strategic locations such as starports, star fortresses, military factories, and resource production points have appeared on the interstellar war sandbox.

In addition, there is also important intelligence information such as the locations of the main fleets of the Devouring Civilization.

"According to our latest information."

Over the past six months, the three monarchs of the Devouring Civilization have been seizing the time to expand their armies.

Relying on their powerful military industry, in just six months...

They directly produced 30 million interstellar warships, which largely made up for the interstellar warships lost in previous battles with us.

In just six months, they produced 30 million interstellar warships.

This terrifying military industrial capability could only be possessed by an interstellar civilization built specifically for war.

"However, the three monarchs have not yet provided any specific information regarding when they will launch retaliatory military operations against our Dragon Star Empire universe."

According to the information relayed by our intelligence personnel, it seems they are waiting for some opportune moment.

And this timeframe is likely to occur sometime this year.

We considered it beforehand.

Instead of waiting for the enemy to attack, we should think about how to defend against the enemy's attack.

Why don't we take the initiative and launch an offensive, relying on the characteristics of our elite Dragon Legion fleet to conduct a blitzkrieg against the enemy's space territory?

Within a short period, destroy the enemy's main fleet, major military factories, and industries to disrupt their related military-industrial supply chain and delay their plans to wage war against us.

Marshal Charlotte revealed his initial thoughts.

Offense is the best form of defense.

Zhao Chen and Lilith could actually understand this.

Because in military matters, there has always been this concept.

That is, the best defense is actually offense.

"By placing the war in the enemy's universe, we can ensure that our cosmic home is spared from the ravages of war and that our production and industry are not affected."

This is the benefit we can gain.

Marshal Charlotte paused at this point, then continued, "But there are also downsides to it."

The downside is obvious: we need to fight across universes.

Although in the first phase of the war, we launched a retaliatory counterattack against the Devouring Civilization's invading fleet, and launched a counterattack against the Devouring Civilization's home universe, destroying seven star systems.

However, that was only a short-term operational plan and did not constitute a true inter-universe operation.

This time, although it's a blitzkrieg, the war will last at least a month.

Furthermore, the target of the attack will not be just a single point.

Therefore, this inter-universe blitzkrieg poses a tremendous challenge to us.

This is not only our first inter-space operation, but also one of the most challenging.

Marshal Charlotte's explanation makes a lot of sense.

The first inter-universe battle was against a powerful being like the Devouring Civilization.

Moreover, it requires fighting on multiple fronts.

After all, the objective of the operation is to disrupt the enemy's military industrial chain in a short period of time, so it is certainly not possible to attack only one location.

The goal is to attack multiple locations simultaneously and achieve operational objectives within a short period of time.

An unfamiliar universe, a powerful enemy, and an unfamiliar battle plan.

This is undoubtedly a huge test for the JF-17 fleet.

"Prior to this meeting, we had already discussed this plan direction many times and had many detailed operational plans."

After repeated deliberation, this is what was finally presented to us and His Majesty the Emperor.

"It's this battle plan right now," Charlotte said.

Some changes appeared in the projection of the interstellar war sandbox in front of us.

First, a series of apertures appeared, with more than thirty apertures in total.

Zhao Chen counted them; to be precise, there were thirty-six.

Zhao Chen then saw a holographic model of the interstellar fleet appear at the location of the thirty-six light rings.

Those halos likely represent the interplanetary travel equipment used to deploy interstellar fleets.

These thirty-six positions are the targets of the attack.

Zhao Chen glanced around.

To his surprise, the thirty-six targets included the three kings' headquarters, the top ten starports, the top ten military factories, and the top ten resource production areas.

And important interstellar bases, interstellar fortresses, and other such places.

All of them are strategic locations most important for devouring civilizations.

The decision to attack so many places at once caught both Zhao Chen and Lilith off guard.

It should be noted that the current main force of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire only has a fleet of more than five million interstellar warships.

Attacking thirty-six target locations would be quite difficult.

After all, that was the native universe of the Devouring Civilization, and now the Devouring Civilization has recovered to have seventy to eighty million interstellar warships.

When the enemy has an overwhelming numerical advantage in starships, this kind of blitzkrieg, or this kind of dispersed attack, is still quite effective in defending against it.

At this moment, Charlotte continued, "Your Majesty, you will surely be very puzzled when you see this attack map."

We only have ten regular legion fleet groups and five elite legion fleet groups.

With less than six million interstellar warships, they were tasked with attacking thirty-six strategic targets belonging to an interstellar civilization with over seventy million interstellar warships.

Is this too much of an appetite?

In fact, all of these attacks were feints!

Were they all feints?

Lilith was greatly surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Then where is the real target of the attack?"

Charlotte shook her head and said, "I don't know."

have no idea?

This answer was completely unexpected by Zhao Chen and Lilith.

Charlotte continued to explain, "I'm not kidding, I really don't know where the real target of our attack is right now."

In some of our previous operational plans, we did indeed formulate actual targets for attack.
