Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 863 - 863 471 Victory Strategy
Chapter 863: Chapter 471, Victory Strategy Chapter 863: Chapter 471, Victory Strategy Golden Pass Star Sector is an important location, not just speaking of the war with the Alliance, but also the main Green Skins forces led by Titus, half of the reinforcements and supplies obtained from their homelands also passed through the Golden Pass Star Sector.
The other half took the route through the Jiaoshou Star District on the western side of Golden Pass Star Sector.
The most significant world in the Golden Pass Star Sector is Light Blessing Star.
In fact, four years prior, it was from Light Blessing Star that Titus led the main Green Skins forces to Curse Bone Star District, then to Snow Eagle Star Sector, blazing a trail of war all the way to the heartland of the Star Domain.
After Gu Hang had won the Temir campaign, advancing with the entire army into the Golden Pass Star Sector, Light Blessing Star became a crucial strategic position and was the first to be seized by the Alliance.
Here, the Alliance even intercepted a Green Skin Transport Fleet.
The Green Skins actually didn’t have entirely civilian transport ships as, according to their temperament, every ship had to be equipped with some cannons.
However, for the Green Skins, ships needed to be manufactured, and the concept of ‘cost’ did exist. After all, manufacturing required materials and human resource investment.
Combat ships were made more sophisticated, and weapons were as advanced as possible; transport ships prioritized internal space, necessarily simplifying it, reducing their combat effectiveness. The few forcefully mounted cannons were more an obsession.
In any case, when they came across the Alliance Fleet, even if the numbers on both sides were similar, the outcome of the battle was almost utterly one-sided. Those few cannons, more decorative than practical, only caused a slight nuisance to the Alliance Fleet.
Just a nuisance indeed.
Thirty Green Skins transport ships were turned into space junk, making it impossible to count exactly how many Green Skins or how much war material they contained.
But considering the size of these thirty Green Skins transport ships, one could tell this was a severe wave.
If they were all fully loaded, hundreds of millions of Green Skins and substantial materials were definitely involved.
The loss of these thirty ships significantly reduced the Green Skins’ operational efficiency and their ability to deploy troops and resources.
Moreover, after the Alliance Fleet blockaded Light Blessing Star, it was basically impossible for Green Skins ships to leave from there.
With this route locked down, all Green Skins transport had to go through the Jiaoshou Star District.
Of course, the Beastmen could still transport resources and personnel from the Jiaoshou Star District. They would have to detour slightly through Silver Pass Sector for supplies, which didn’t significantly affect the resource flow for the Green Skins sectors home to Jiang Meiyu, Iron Pass, and Kuoluo.
However, frighteningly, from Light Blessing Star westward, a single jump could take you into the Jiaoshou Star District!
If the Jiaoshou Star District were also blockaded, then the Green Skins’ resources would have to take a much bigger detour from the very northwest corner of the Dragonhawk Star Domain forward to the front line. This would fatally affect the efficiency of material transfer. What was initially a journey of two to three months, could be extended to about half a year.
And attacking the Jiaoshou Star District was already part of Gu Hang’s strategic plan.
His overall strategy’s first step was to win a key battle in the Temir Star System and annihilate a large amount of active force, which had already been completed quite spectacularly.
The second phase of the strategy was to encompass the Golden Pass Star Sector, Copper Barrier Star District, and Jiaoshou Star District.
Golden Pass Star Sector had seven star systems comprising 12 worlds; Copper Barrier Star District had six star systems, 11 worlds; Jiaoshou Star District had nine star systems, 15 worlds.
Adding them all up, there were 38 worlds.
In Gu Hang’s plan, his goal was to take all these worlds.
The method of taking them was already clearly demonstrated on Temir No.4 and Temir No.5.
In fact, the situations on these thirty-plus planets targeted by Gu Hang within these three star sectors were basically similar to the situations encountered in the three worlds of the Temir Star System.
In some places, like Temir II, they were developed and invaded by the Green Skins as key planets, and their own defense issues were also significant, basically beyond salvation; in others, like on Temir No.4, a considerable population survived due to terrain and reliable defenses, importantly because the Green Skins didn’t value them much, so the human conditions were still relatively good. Some places were like Temir No.5, hanging by a thread.
Since the Green Tide emerged and the war started, it had been four years now. Golden Pass, Copper Barrier, and Jiaoshou, these three star sectors with thirty-eight worlds, were the first places to fall.
Even before the Green Tide erupted, these three star sectors were already the human frontlines against the Beastmen. They were either battlegrounds enduring continuous Green Skins invasion or supply bases providing resources to the battlegrounds.
The economic condition in these thirty-plus worlds wasn’t good in any of them.
And post-subjugation, that was even more so.
These thirty-plus worlds had been subjugated for four years, but it must be emphasized again, humans are a tenacious race. No matter the harsh conditions, there will always be those who can find a way to survive, even producing both small and significant heroes. From leading dozens of people in a hard fight for survival, to leading an entire world to form resistance organizations across city ruins, countrysides, tunnels, and various environments, they continued to struggle against the Green Skins.
Of course, these are human factors, subjective factors. The real key reason they could persist for four years without being exterminated by the Green Skins was actually due to the Green Skins’ strategy not being directed that way.
