Chapter 777 - 372: Siege (Part 2)

Huaixi couldn’t help but recall what his great-grandfather Gu Molin used to say. The other party said he had a level of rationality beyond his years, but his emotions were still that of a teenager. How to mature emotionally, then? Only after truly experiencing gains and losses can one transform in difficult decisions.

"Alright... let’s work hard together!" The two children each extended a hand, and Gu Ningxuan also extended his right hand, overlapping them to make a cheering gesture.

As for all this, Su Jiameng naturally wasn’t aware. She spent a year organizing the stationed corps from top to bottom, sending many spies into the Maxiwa Delta to gather intelligence, striving to integrate all information into one piece.

A year was enough time for Su Jiameng to bring down all those headstrong individuals, using absolute strength to make them submit.

In her mind, since this army was already hers, they only needed to be accountable to her! No matter who they were loyal to before, they now only needed to remember that their final superior was her, not any so-called family power.

Achieving this was obviously very difficult. However, after Su Jiameng overcame a series of problems, she carried out a large-scale reorganization and transformation of this army. The final result was barely satisfactory to her, finally presentable.

"Time flies indeed, before we know it, it’s already been a year..." Liang Xiaonuo stood half-leaning against the bed, holding a stack of paperwork, his eyes seeing the bustling morning training scene outside through the window.

From the initial chaos to the current order, the series of trainings being consistently completed... that’s quite an achievement.

"Time truly flies..." Su Jiameng had blue rings under her eyes, having been continuously discussing the battle plans and strategies to capture the Maxiwa Delta recently. She had to oversee the entire situation and handle various official duties, twenty-four hours in a day was simply not enough!

She tiredly raised her hand to rub her temples and said, "Recently, there’s been quite a bit of action from the Maxiwa Delta side, seemingly having received news, knowing we are going to make a move on them. A year of stalemate, it’s remarkable these guys could endure until now."

Liang Xiaonuo smiled slightly and said, "In a few days, Ah Chen should be back. With his intelligence, it could somewhat increase the odds of victory. Are you really planning to confront the entire Maxiwa Delta head-on?"

They had discussed this question more than once, and Liang Xiaonuo always believed that a frontal battle was too disadvantageous for them, but a sneak attack seemed less effective compared to those highly mobile guys.

"Naturally... against these people, methods like ambushes are completely useless. Interstellar warfare rarely involves attacks from the rear. Unless it’s an extremely perfect secret attack that can do the impossible..." Su Jiameng shook her head, putting down the files she had processed halfway, and got up to stand by Liang Xiaonuo’s side. In just one year, she had become even more slender than before.

"However, frontal warfare also has its classifications... Although the Maxiwa Delta is filled with a motley crew, it’s undeniable that this motley crew has high combat strength, each with their specialties, not without real command talents among them..." Su Jiameng’s expression didn’t change, "However, even though their individual strength is strong, it doesn’t mean that one plus one can equal or be greater than one."

Those who would hide in the Maxiwa Delta were fugitives from the interstellar alliance, dangerous elements escaping to avoid prosecution. Each of them thought highly of themselves, even if they temporarily united for a common goal, how much camaraderie could they have?

It’s fortunate that this same group of arrogant individuals gathering together haven’t ended up fighting each other; expecting them to wage war is a stretch.

Frontal combat is managed by a coordinated whole against an organization that is scattered like sand. Choosing sneak attacks, something we’re not good at... haha, is what the Maxiwa Delta people love to use. It’s stupid to attack the enemy’s strengths with our weaknesses.

Liang Xiaonuo suddenly smiled and said, "You’re right, for us, the current advantages are quite obvious. Though we don’t have as many troops as they do and our average strength might not be exceptionally high, we have advanced war weapons, coordinated battle formations, rich combat experience... whereas that motley crew is just a group of overly selfish individuals."

Speaking up to this point, Liang Xiaonuo’s eyes shifted, asking, "I guess you wouldn’t just do nothing. When you sent Ah Chen out before, had you already calculated it in your mind? Finding a way to complete this mission?"

Su Jiameng gazed into the distance at the soldiers training hard in the scorching sun, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "Do you know what was most important in ancient Earth battles when two armies faced each other? Provisions were one aspect, intelligence was another..."

"Provisions? Intelligence?" Liang Xiaonuo muttered suspiciously, saying, "You’re not thinking of starting from this aspect, are you? Communications in ancient Earth were too poor, with a significant time lag, but now, in this era, it’s a matter of seconds to relay a message."

"That’s why I sent Lu Anchen out. When he returns, if you still don’t understand, you can ask him. If... he is willing to divulge military secrets..." Su Jiameng’s expression grew gentler when conversing with her than with others.

Back in ancient times, intelligence was crucial in warfare, but communication technology constraints made quick transmission impossible. However, in this interstellar era, anyone connected to the network can ignore vast interstellar distances and relay messages instantly!

This was often overlooked, but Su Jiameng, to complete the mission as soon as possible, had to resort to some clever tactics.

Intelligence? Haha, used well, the Maxiwa Delta can be completely captured within two to three years!
