Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 473

Chapter 472, Victory Strategy

The Jinguan Star Region is an important location. Not to mention the war with the Alliance, even the main force of the greenskins led by Titus, half of the reinforcements and supplies obtained from their home base, also came from the Jinguan Star Region.

The other half came from the Jiaoshou Star Region to the west of the Jinguan Star Region.

The most important world in the Jinguan Star Region is Guangfu Star.

In fact, the main force of the greenskins led by Titus went from Guangfu Star to the Curse Bone Star Region, and then to the Snow Eagle Star Region four years ago, and burned the war all the way to the heart of the star region.

After Gu Hang won the Temir Battle and the entire army advanced into the Jinguan Star Region, Guangfu Star was an important strategic location and was the first to be captured by the Alliance.

Here, the Alliance even intercepted a greenskin transport fleet.

The greenskins actually do not have completely civilian transport ships. With their character, no matter what kind of ship it is, it must be equipped with some cannons.

However, for the greenskins, ships also need to be manufactured, and there is also the concept of “cost”. After all, as long as it needs to be manufactured, it needs raw materials and human resources.

For war, it is better to make it, and the weapons and equipment are as good as possible; for transportation, the internal space must be as simple as possible, otherwise the combat effectiveness cannot be strong, and the few cannons that are barely installed are more of an obsession.

Anyway, when encountering the Alliance Fleet, even if the number of both sides is similar, the result of the battle is almost one-sided. Those naval guns that are more decorative than practical have caused a little trouble to the Alliance Fleet at most.

It’s just a trouble.

Thirty greenskin transport ships were turned into space junk, and it is impossible to count them. Naturally, there is no way to know how many greenskins and how much war materials are loaded in them.

However, looking at the size of these thirty greenskin transport ships, you can know that this wave is coming fiercely.

If they are all fully loaded, hundreds of millions of greenskins and a large amount of materials are indispensable.

The loss of these thirty ships is not small, which will significantly reduce the ability of the greenskins to operate, deploy troops and materials.

Moreover, after Guangfuxing was blocked by the Alliance Fleet, the greenskin ships basically could not leave here.

This road is blocked, and all the transportation of the greenskins can only go through the Jiaoshou Star Region.

Of course, the orcs can still transport supplies and personnel from the Jiaoshou Star Region. At most, the supplies of the Yinguan Star Region will have to go a little further, which will not have much impact on the resource operation of the three star regions of the greenskins’ nests, Jiang Meiyu, Tieguan, and Kuoluo.

But the terrible thing is that from Guangfu Star to the northwest, you can enter the Jiaoshou Star Region with one jump!

If the Jiaoshou Star Region is blocked again, the greenskins’ resources can only go around a larger circle and send them to the front line from the northwest corner of the Dragon Eagle Star Region, and the operation efficiency of the entire material will be fatally affected. The original one-way operation time of two or three months will be extended to about half a year.

And attacking the Jiaoshou Star Region was originally in Gu Hang’s strategic plan.

The first step of his overall strategy is to win a key battle in the Temir Galaxy and annihilate a large number of living forces, which has been accomplished very well.

The second step of the strategy is to include the three star regions of the Jinguan Star Region, the Tongguan Star Region, and the Jiaoshou Star Region.

There are seven star systems in the Jinguan Star Region, with a total of 12 worlds; there are six star systems in the Tongguan Star Region, with 11 worlds; there are nine star systems in the Jiaoshou Star Region, with 15 worlds.

In total, there are 38 worlds.

In Gu Hang’s plan, he wants to take down all these worlds.

The way to take them down is actually clearly reflected on Temir 4 and 5.

In fact, the situation of the more than 30 planets in the three star regions targeted by Gu Hang is basically similar to that of the three worlds in the Temir Star Region.

Some places, like Temir 2, are regarded as the focus of development and invasion by the greenskins, and the defense problems of the planets themselves are also relatively large, and they are basically hopeless; some places, like Temir 4, still have a lot of people surviving, because the terrain and defense are reliable, and most importantly, the greenskins don’t pay much attention to it, so the current situation of humans is still relatively good. Other places are more like Temir 5 and are in danger.

It has been four years since the green tide swarmed out and the war began. The thirty-eight worlds in the three star zones of Jinguan, Tongguan and Jiaoshou were the first to fall.

Even before the outbreak of the green tide, these three star zones were the battle zones for humans to resist the orcs. Either they were battlefields, enduring the constant invasion of greenskins, or they were supply bases that provided resources for the battlefield. None

of these thirty-plus worlds had a good economic situation.

And after the fall, it goes without saying.

These thirty-plus worlds have been fallen for four years, but it must be emphasized again and again that humans are a tenacious race. No matter what harsh environment, there are always people who can find a way to survive, and even some heroes of all sizes have emerged, ranging from those who can lead dozens of people to survive hard, to those who can lead the entire world to form a resistance organization, fighting against the greenskins in different environments such as urban ruins, in the suburbs, in tunnels, etc.

Of course, these are all human factors, and they are subjective factors. The core reason why they can persist for four years and have not been exterminated by the greenskins is that the greenskins’ strategy is not like this.

Of course, the greenskin orcs have no need to rule humans. They do capture and enslave humans, but these are sporadic cases. In most cases, they choose to massacre. However, the strength invested by the greenskins on each planet is actually insufficient.

Four years ago, the green tide led by Titus spread the war to hundreds of worlds in most of the Dragon Eagle Star Region in just a few months. Of course, his approach was not to bite off one planet at a time. How slow would that be?

Anyway, the human fleet had been defeated by him at that time, and they were only concerned with running. The huge star region was all open, so he naturally led the fleet to chase and hurricane all the way. In the many galaxies passing by, they would just drop hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions of guys and farts. The specific number depends on the value of the planet.

In some important places, such as Guangfu Star, the number of active greenskins may have exceeded 1.5 billion. Although a considerable part of them grew on the planet in the past few years, the fact that they could grow so fast and so many must be related to the fact that a lot of greenskins were invested in at the beginning.

And in some places, such as the Shui Wuhen Galaxy next to the Temir Galaxy. There are two ocean worlds here. The natural environment is basically dominated by scattered islands and floating continents. The main means of survival are fishing and collecting seabed resources.

This galaxy is not on the main route, and the natural environment is not suitable for the growth of greenskins – in fact, it is not very suitable for human survival. The original population size of the two planets was only about 200 to 300 million. The orc invasion only released a few hundred thousand people, and after the ecosystem was established on some islands, the large-scale ocean environment was not easy to expand, there were frequent sea storms, and there were powerful sea monsters in the ocean, so the expansion of the greenskins was quite limited.

Up to now, the Shui Wuhen Galaxy has been invaded by the greenskins for four years, and the situation has not deteriorated too seriously.

After the arrival of the human fleet, they carried out orbital bombardment on the islands occupied by the greenskins, and then deployed about a million Allied forces, as well as a considerable amount of weapons and equipment, to arm the local planetary defense forces to retake the islands.

With this step, the problems of the two human colonized planets of Shui Wuhen No. 3 and No. 7 can be basically solved.

Of course, they also signed the Seven Horses Agreement and included it in this framework. The two planets can also provide 50 million tax coins of imperial tax revenue a year.

Similar treatment methods were promoted by Gu Hang to the Jinguan, Tongguan, and Jiaoshou star regions.

The overall idea and means are that the fleet visits and blows up the main enemy strongholds; deploy a part of the Alliance Army and the Allied Forces as the main force to stabilize the situation; deploy supplies, provide relief and resettle local people, and arm local troops, join the Allied Forces sequence, and clean up the local greenskins.

The fleet’s visit is a temporary solution, a rough sweep and suppression; the Alliance Army is to give confidence to the local planets; the last resort is to unify the planets and cure the problem.

Of course, this is for worlds that can still be saved, and this is how it will be handled.

Some worlds that cannot be saved, such as Guangfuxing, are important transit centers for the greenskins during the expedition. There are few signs of human activities. The greenskins have invested a large number of manpower here from the beginning and slaughtered almost the entire planet.

But the Alliance did not throw another Burning Sky torpedo at Guangfuxing.

There is no need.

Lock the galaxy and bomb the surface for a few rounds.

Anyway, after bombing the important greenskin garbage city, the greenskins on Guangfuxing suffered heavy casualties, not to mention that their main production capacity was also lost, and they did not have the ability to build starships to leave the surface – at least not for the time being.

Then, the Alliance began to continuously invest troops on the surface.

Although this place is hopeless, its importance as a transportation hub is still there. The human army that is put in will build some strongholds, or repair some fortresses that already exist on the planet, and place some of the transported orbital cannons on this planet.

Gu Hang, of course, still has to guard against the main force of the greenskins coming back for support.

However, the Alliance’s military strength and the Alliance’s delivery capabilities are always limited, and it is impossible to adopt a strategy of retaking every planet. Things have to be prioritized. Although Guangfu Star is beyond rescue, its hub attribute of the main transportation route has high value, so the Alliance must invest troops to try to retake it. The core goal is to build enough fortresses and anti-orbital cannons on the planet to deal with possible subsequent wars.

However, some planets are beyond rescue and have no value.

For example, Lengfeng Star and Talullah 3 in the Jiaoshou Star Zone, and the Bronze Galaxy and Dato Galaxy in the Tongguan Star Zone are all in this situation.

Just like Temir 2, there are a lot of greenskin activities on it, and there are almost no traces of humans; but unlike Guangfu Star, it is not in a place that must be fought for by military strategists.

For these galaxies, it depends on the situation.

If there are relatively few greenskins on the planet, only about a billion or two billion, then just bomb them once, destroy the larger garbage cities, and then patrol from time to time to ensure that there are no large-scale greenskin factories that may build starships.

If there are a lot of greenskins on the planet, such as on Jinguan III, it has been calculated that there are probably more than 5 billion greenskins on it. The greenskins gathered here are probably the reserve forces that Saru placed here in preparation for the Battle of Telmir. The reason why they were not all transported to Telmir 5 is because of the limited delivery capacity. However, on this planet, these billions of greenskins are not idle. Humans even saw an open-air greenskin factory from orbital reconnaissance, which was building something that looked like a ship.

For a planet like this, without saying anything, just fire a sky-burning torpedo.

Five billion greenskins were burned to ashes.

But instead, the entire planet was basically declared scrapped. Even going down to the planet to build a fortress is very difficult. It will take at least a few years until the geological conditions are relatively stable. If you want to recolonize and use this planet, you have to use climate reconstruction technology. This technology is not yet available to the Alliance.

…

In addition to the recapture and cleanup of the three major star regions, the Alliance army has two equally important tasks.

First, it is to build an orbital defense system in the Guangfu Galaxy, the Thumb Star in the Jiaoshou Star Region, and the Capital Star. These three planets are built as fortress worlds to prevent the main force of the greenskins from returning to defend, so that they can have a reliable base for fighting.

This task actually occupies a considerable part of the Alliance’s energy. Among the 1.2 billion main forces, half of the troops were placed in these places. In addition, more troops and workers are being mobilized to fill these three key points.

If these three planets are blocked, especially Guangfu Star, then the Alliance will have a barrier in the west, and the throat of the greenskins will be strangled.

Another task is to march into the greenskins’ lair.

This mission seemed very risky, but when Gu Hang arrived at the Yinguan Star Zone with the Nova and one-third of the Alliance Fleet, he found that it was not difficult at all.

Each planet here may have been occupied for decades, and there are basically no humans.

However, the number of greenskins is not as large as imagined.

The reason is very simple. A large number of greenskins were pulled out by Titus!

His expedition was the full effort of the Iron Tooth Clan!
