The Fleet ascended into space shortly after, departing from Mardis and heading towards the Black Devil Galaxy Cluster. There were no interstellar supply points on this journey, which would be a long and monotonous interstellar trip.
During this period, aside from staring into the sky, you could only find some fun for yourself.
Feng Yi had been holding a map of Twin Planet in the Command Room for a long time… pondering where it would be best to land. There were no absolutely safe drop points, only relatively safer ones. You might have planned to land at Point A before departure, but even when you arrive at your destination, you might find that Point A, Point B, and even Point C are not suitable for landing. At that time, you must be prepared to think on your feet, to cut off the enemy's satellites and network immediately, and to engage in electronic warfare and intelligence countermeasures.
In the end, it's the same old saying, "Out of numerous paths, safety comes first. Parachuting without protocol, leaves loved ones in tears."
Most forces would, some time before battle, conduct local and even global tactical simulations repeatedly based on the development of the situation. Through countless simulations, they sift through the results to find the most advantageous choices.
Perhaps some might ask why not make a grown-up choice? A grown-up choice would be nice, wanting everything, but that way you'll die faster than a dog. Therefore, grown-up choices are absolutely unnecessary in war.
The medium-sized fleet of the Blazing Legion successfully arrived at the Black Devil Galaxy Cluster after some time. In the half day before Blaze's arrival, the vanguard had already engaged in fierce clashes with the Saudi Space Fleet. From an astronomical unit away, our forces were able to observe the explosions and dazzling fireworks through the star observatory.
At this moment, all the officers and soldiers in the fleet are like arrows drawn on a taut bow ready to be released. They bustle about swiftly as the staff officers in front of the command platform try various simulations, looking for the most suitable drop point for the fleet. Not long after, the soldiers brought over several precise trend simulation maps…
Gazing at these drawings piled up almost like a small hill, Feng Yi felt a headache coming on. He just glanced at them briefly and didn't continue to pay attention to these nonsense issues.
Indeed, war is an extension of politics, and simulations are the macro layout of war. He saw no issues with the military staff's simulation thought processes, some of which were even so finely tuned and analyzed down to the squad level that their mastery deserved praise.
However, this was precisely the biggest problem. Feng Yi dared not say there were definitely problems with these simulation maps, even though they seemed perfect. But in his view, what you think of, the enemy can also anticipate. Only by stepping out of the confines and looking at the whole picture can you gain a preemptive idea of the enemy's intentions.
A war requires adaptability. He felt that everyone's simulations had significant flaws. If the flaws were smaller, it wouldn't matter as much. But on the electronic map, there were clear signs of enemy activity at Point A, yet you wanted to establish a camp not far from there, hoping to swallow the enemy whole. Wasn't that just a trap laid by the enemy?
When faced with the choice of where to drop in, Feng Yi suddenly envisioned three options…
Option 1: Drop at coordinate A8, which was located on the Twin Planet A's hilly highlands, featuring several natural covers as barriers. Whether for offense, concealment or observation, it was the optimal position, located about 170 kilometers from the Saudi army. With a 170-kilometer stretch in a plain area, a better high-power telescope could almost make out the mecha models. Therefore, this choice…
Option 2: Land at the polar glaciers of Twin Planet, where the air is thin, and the altitude high. The temperature remains around negative 30 degrees Celsius all year round. Overcoming these challenges would be a piece of cake for these soldiers who came from the ranks of civilians. If they landed on the glacier and spent a few days conducting a full range of observations on the region, it might work, but…
The cold environment would slow down the body's metabolism, reduce alertness, and this process, lasting one or two days, or even three to five days, might be manageable. However, he was not certain when he could acquire detailed intelligence on Twin Planet. If the waiting dragged on, over time, the soldiers would be like animals waking up from hibernation, no longer fit for combat.
Option 3: The jungle area. Black Devil Jungle was a natural cover, with its dense branches, lofty trees reaching the clouds, and brambles blooming everywhere, truly an unparalleled place for lurking. Its protective nature, however, also limited one's own field of vision and could also potentially be the perfect ambush point for the enemy's forces. This option was like a double-edged sword.
Of course, besides these three options, Feng Yi also had his so-called fourth option, which was to go out alone while the rest of the soldiers stood by. This was what he deemed the most prudent approach. But Feng Yi still chose the third option, to parachute into the Black Devil Jungle.
After all, a safe strategy couldn't solve everything. He wanted to reduce sacrifices, not eliminate them entirely. Sacrifice is inevitable in war, and he certainly wouldn't be so rigidly attached to idealism as to be inflexible if making necessary sacrifices for victory. That wouldn't be fighting; that would be playing the saint.
Of course, this choice might not be perfect, and even had many flaws, but apart from this, Feng Yi couldn't think of a better solution at the moment. At this time, the fleet's numerous staff officers were still arguing over their respective simulations... But soon, the order came down, a direct drop into Black Devil Jungle.
It was nighttime on site, and the massive stealth fleet quickly took root in the depths of Black Devil Jungle.
In combat in an alien territory, the soldiers had an indescribable feeling, whether it was nervousness, excitement, or maybe a bit of both. Hardly anyone could sleep in the midst of the night. As they had just landed, the first issue they faced was the possibility of armed conflict.
