"However, when conducting simulated battles, a problem arose: the enemy's massive interstellar warships gave them many opportunities to respond."

Once we have identified our true target, and if the enemy targets our true target, we will provide maximum support.

Our attack will then be thwarted.

Therefore, we've decided that in the first round of attacks, all targets will be feints!

Are you trying to throw out a brick to attract jade?

After the first round of feint attacks, a second round of battlefield reorganization will be conducted based on the enemy's fleet movements.

"So, what's the real target for the second round of attacks?" Zhao Chen guessed Charlotte's thoughts.

Charlotte nodded, but then shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, you are half right."

We did indeed determine the enemy's next move through the first round of feint attacks.

However, our second round was not a real offensive.

In the second round, we'll regroup and target some enemies, but like the first round, this will still be a feint attack!

"So the real target of the attack is in the third round?" Lilith asked, puzzled.

Charlotte shook her head again.

"So how many rounds of feints were there exactly?" Lilith asked, puzzled.

Charlotte replied, "I don't actually know how many rounds of feints there are right now."

The core principle of our operational plan is to adapt to changing circumstances.

Apart from the fact that all the operations before the first phase of the feint attack were planned, how many more rounds of feint attacks would be carried out, and where would the real targets be?

These are all uncertainties; we need to wait until that time actually arrives to determine the true target of the attack!

Zhao Chen's brows relaxed; he finally understood Charlotte's meaning and thoughts.

"Is this risky?"

This will pose a significant challenge to our battlefield command capabilities, battlefield deployment capabilities, and intelligence gathering capabilities.

"A problem in any of these areas could cause huge trouble," Zhao Chen said.

Charlotte nodded: "We've taken all of that into consideration."

However, this is indeed the most suitable battle plan for us at present.

This is also an operational plan that has been agreed upon by the majority of our military leaders after multiple discussions.

Battlefield command capabilities—it's useless to talk about them now; we'll have to see how capable we are on the day. But I'm confident in that, and we also have your Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship.

Battlefield deployment capability tests the combat and adjustment capabilities of every legion fleet, and even every corps fleet, under our JF-17 Legion fleet group.

Can orders be strictly enforced?

I have great confidence in the officers and soldiers of our JF-17 Dragon Legion fleet.

I have faith in our combat skills and capabilities.

There will absolutely be no problems with this!

"In fact, the most important thing in this is the ability to search for enemy intelligence."

The movement of the enemy's fleet is crucial for adjusting our subsequent operational plans.

The success of our operation depends on whether we can transmit information about the enemy's movements accurately and quickly in the first instance.

I have a suggestion for this.

"His Majesty's permission is required." Charlotte looked at Zhao Chen.

"you say."

"Regarding matters concerning battlefield intelligence, and the deployment of interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships."

Prior to this, intelligence was assigned to various legion fleet groups, which then made their own arrangements during the war, and the intelligence they collected was reported up the chain of command.

Ultimately, the intelligence will reach me, or your Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship, where the staff will compile and analyze the valuable information.

This approach is actually fine.

But for us now, that's no longer enough.

While a clear sense of order may be achieved when everyone is assigned specific responsibilities, it can also lead to situations where efficiency is not maximized.

Unified management of these interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships could actually allow their value to be better demonstrated on the battlefield.

Charlotte looked at Zhao Chen and said directly, "I suggest that we establish a special ace fleet group, composed entirely of interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships."

They were specifically responsible for intelligence gathering on the battlefield.

They are eyes hidden in the darkness, allowing us to see the enemy's every move and thus enabling us to accurately hunt down our prey in the shadows.

An elite fleet group specifically designed for battlefield intelligence gathering.

You should know that before this...

However, this was a structure that had never existed before within the JF-17 Legion fleet's organization.

"Since you already have this idea."

"Then tell me your detailed arrangements for this elite fleet," Zhao Chen asked with interest.

Charlotte immediately pulled up a file: "To date, each legion-level fleet possesses thirty interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships."

A legion fleet consists of over five thousand interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships.

First, the ownership of these existing interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships will not be changed; their posts will remain within their respective legion fleets.

However, their ultimate command will belong to this special elite fleet group.

This elite fleet possesses a number of stealth interstellar reconnaissance ships. In addition to some following these interstellar legion fleets as before, the other part is specially formed into individual stealth interstellar reconnaissance ship legions!

As the name suggests, they are specifically responsible for reconnaissance work.

Enter a battlefield area in advance to conduct reconnaissance of enemy intelligence.

Or it could be to lock onto the target in advance and then track and reconnoiter it.

I've done some research, and we currently possess a total of 100,000 interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships of various types.

Even if Charlotte hadn't mentioned it, Zhao Chen himself hadn't expected that their Dragon Legion fleet would actually possess so many interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships.

But thinking about it, with six million interstellar warships, having one hundred thousand interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships is quite normal, isn't it?

"These 100,000 interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships are mainly composed of three classes: T6, T5, and T4."

Among them, the most advanced T6 Silent Ghost-class light interplanetary stealth reconnaissance ships are currently in service with thirty vessels.

One thousand T5 Phantom-class light interplanetary stealth reconnaissance ships.

100,000 T4 Banshee-class light interplanetary stealth reconnaissance ships.

Firstly, the interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships accompanying each legion fleet are all at or below the T5 level, due to their operational mission requirements.

It would be a waste to have them specially assigned a T6-class interstellar stealth reconnaissance ship to accompany them.

Therefore, of the 100,000 interstellar warships, 60,000 were fleet stealth reconnaissance ships that followed various legion fleet groups and were under dual command.

The intelligence they gather, in addition to being reported to their commanders within the legion fleet, is by default reported to this elite fleet group.

The remaining 40,000 interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships form the core of this elite fleet.

These 40,000 interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships form corps fleets, totaling more than 130 corps fleets.

These 130 corps of fleets can be further divided into various divisions, each responsible for intelligence and reconnaissance work on different battlefields.

The specific arrangements were still the responsibility of the commander of this elite fleet group, who also built a battlefield intelligence system.

This elite fleet will be directly under the command of the Dragon Emperor Starship, serving as its eyes and ears on the battlefield.

This will allow for better command of the entire campaign.

Hearing Charlotte's explanation, Zhao Chen wholeheartedly agreed.

The previous battles were all in the Dragon Star Empire universe, which is Zhao Chen's territory, making it easy to gather a lot of intelligence.

However, considering that these are very likely to be cross-universe operations, taking place in unfamiliar universes and star systems, and fighting against unfamiliar enemy fleets.

Therefore, this intelligence is of utmost importance.

Zhao Chen was well aware of the principle that "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

This is why it became standard practice to include interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships in every legion fleet.

Zhao Chen nodded: "Your idea is very good, I can agree to it."

But the commander of such a special elite fleet group is extremely important.

It wasn't just her intelligence gathering skills; she also needed to be incredibly composed and loyal.

Zhao Chen emphasized the word "loyalty".

This is a crucial link in obtaining battlefield intelligence, essentially a critical vulnerability for the JF-17 fleet, so it must be entrusted to someone who can be fully trusted.

"I've already thought of a candidate."

If you agree, this person can take over at any time, assemble this elite fleet, and complete the framework in a short period of time.

"Let this elite fleet be put to use on the battlefield," Charlotte said.

"Who? Tell me." Zhao Chen asked curiously.

"Admiral Zhong Xiaoxia, the current deputy commander of the Fourth Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder Corps." Charlotte said the name without hesitation.

Xue Xiaoxiao, the commander of the Fourth Fleet Group of the Xiaolong Army, who had been listening the whole time, looked bitter and muttered, "This is great, they've tried to poach my people."

Xia Jie is very capable; she has helped me handle a lot of things by my side.

well......"

Although she felt a little reluctant, Xue Xiaoxiao only complained about it.

If Xia Jie can indeed become the commander of this newly established elite fleet, she would naturally be very willing to see her compatriots have the opportunity to advance further.

Zhong Xiaoxia?

Zhao Chen recalled the general's information. Although he hadn't seen much of it, the general was, after all, a deputy commander of a legion fleet group.

It is a pivotal force within the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire's military.

This person had actually been following Zhao Chen for quite some time and could be considered a veteran.

And he is also Zhao Chen's classmate.

She was born into a fallen noble family and was the youngest daughter in the family. It was only through her mother's savings that she was able to attend the Northern Starship Military Academy.
