There are even some players who are not good at commanding themselves, even leaving strategic command to their subordinates, and the staff team is responsible for auxiliary command.

Theoretically, a fleet can have multiple commanders, but under normal circumstances only one commander's skills can affect the fleet.

However, if the fleet is divided into branch fleets, another commander can be sent to command the branch fleet. At this time, the skill effect of the general commander cannot work on the branch fleet, and another branch fleet commander is required.

Therefore, after a year or two, after he has enlightened a bunch of servants of light scientists and formed his own team of super scientists, he will consider turning Li Lie, Li Qi and others into servants of light one by one.

After fully deploying all crew members, Li Qing set foot on the battleship.

The bridge is ten times larger than the destroyer, and the surface is as smooth as a mirror. According to his previous design, the bridge is divided into two parts, one side is the command room of the battleship itself, and the other side is the fleet headquarters.

Li Qing stood in the center of the bridge, waiting for the many newly recruited men to take their positions one by one, including a thousand clone crew members. Then the battleship captain was the first to give the order, start the battleship, and adjust the different modules and weapons of the battleship one by one.

Integrity.

After the debugging was completed and it was confirmed that there were no problems with the battleship, and he reported to Li Qing, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the light screen in front of the tall command chair. A circle of light lit up, and the battleship slowly set sail. Many players around him were envious.

leaving the shipyard.

The specifications of the Knight-class battleship are 1,500 meters long, 350 meters wide, and 110 meters high. The overall shape is a flat shuttle, and the construction time is 18 months.

The battleship comes with a huge cabin that can accommodate two standard battalions of marines for landing operations.

It's just that Li Qing's battleship is not equipped with an army. When he needs it, he can release it directly from the universe in his hand and does not need to be placed in the battleship.

He expanded the fleet space to open up living areas for the crew on the ship, improve the crew's quality of life, and greatly improve their morale and work enthusiasm.

The battleship left the shipyard and arrived at Star City not long after, berthing in the air more than a thousand kilometers away from Star City. Generally speaking, large ships like battleships are not allowed to berth directly at Star City berths.

Opening the team channel, it was already the previously agreed gathering time, and people were arriving one after another. He checked the assembly number on the channel to confirm that he was in place, and then sent a message to Li Lie and Li Qi, asking them to come and meet.

Not long after, three fleets of similar sizes rushed over from other places.

One is his own, with 2 cruisers, 8 destroyers and 35 frigates.

One side consists of 7 cruisers, 20 destroyers and 60 frigates, which is Li Lie's fleet.

The other side consists of 8 cruisers, 30 destroyers and 130 frigates, which is Li Qi's fleet.

The two fleets joined him and opened the team communication channel. Li Qi asked in surprise:

"Zacha, boss, have you got the battleship?"

"Yes, it was given by the group leader."

"So cool? When can I get a battleship?"

"It won't take long."

After the military operation is over, you can free up time to practice shipbuilding skills. After awakening, the awakened Star Son will not only gain up to 3000% experience, but the efficiency will also increase exponentially. It will not be long before you can build your own battleship.

"By the way, I have recruited a very good fleet commander. I will set up a headquarters later and combine your fleets. At that time, the new commander will command the fleet and I will direct the operations."

"receive!"

"receive!"

Li Lie and Li Qi did not object and simply handed over the command of the fleet.

The three fleets will be combined, with the battleship as the command ship, Li Yuan as the actual commander of the fleet, himself as the general commander and strategic commander, and Li Lie and Li Qi as the staff officers. If it is necessary to separate branch fleets during the battle, they will be selected from them

Choose one of them as the branch fleet commander.

After selecting all the responsibilities, at the moment of confirmation, the slowly gliding fleet accelerated sharply.

"Damn it!"

Li Lie, Li Qi and others immediately felt the difference and asked in surprise in the channel:

"Captain, this new commander looks a bit awkward!"

Li Qing laughed:

"You'll find out later that he's even tougher than you thought!"

He looked at an ordinary man sitting on the other side who looked somewhat similar to Li Qing. If you look carefully, you will find that invisible light fluctuations in his pupils are spreading outward in circles, and there seems to be water like water under his skin.

The ripples are flowing.

At this time, Li Yuan's appearance has turned into a human appearance. His absolute rationality makes him sit there with an unsmiling expression. His spiritual energy, which is more powerful than Li Qing's and his life essence that transcends ordinary people, makes him exude a temperament that prevents strangers from entering.

Many staff members were sitting there solemnly at this time, and no one dared to move.

The fleet accelerated slowly, quickly exceeding the usual fastest speed, and in their shock, they sailed into the depths of the starry sky at four times the usual speed.

The Servant of Light has a 100% speed bonus, the psychic entity has a 50% speed bonus, the level 20 naval command has a 100% speed bonus, and the fifth-generation propeller has a 60% speed bonus, for a total of 310% speed bonus.

.

Even the slowest battleship has a basic speed of 100,000 kilometers per hour. After a 310% bonus, it reaches a speed of 410,000 kilometers per hour, which is 113.88 kilometers per second.

Li Lie and the others have never experienced such a fast speed, and other players have never seen such a fast speed.

A frigate was rushing towards the wormhole at the edge of the galaxy as fast as possible. Suddenly, a huge fleet passed by behind it at a speed far exceeding its own. A player on the bridge stared at the retreating back of the fleet, and the cigarette fell from the corner of his mouth.

Don't even know it.

"Let me go, what kind of new warship is this?"

The fleet dived into the wormhole and emerged from another galaxy an hour later.

"Prepare to activate the hyperdrive!"

Fifteen minutes later, each battleship turned into a stream of light and disappeared in a flash, and the huge fleet jumped away.

Appearing again, it was already the outpost galaxy, and the meeting point agreed upon with Ding Youran and others was here.

As soon as the fleet sailed into the outpost system, it received three communications from the outpost space station, and the battlefield area channel was also automatically unlocked.

Li Qing opened them and looked at them one by one, raising his eyebrows.

The latest battlefield news is that the Shatta Tribe United Civilization has reacted to the large-scale military operation at the outpost and has begun to counterattack. At this time, starting from the outpost and ending in the vast star field of the southern province of the Shatta Tribe United Civilization, it is already a combat zone.

.

The other two communications are the latest combat intelligence sent from the outpost, and all players who enter the war zone to perform military operations can receive it for free.

One message is that the main force of the first division of the southern province of the Shata Tribal United Civilization has assembled at the 15th jump east of the outpost, and the main force of the first brigade of the first division of the expeditionary force has also assembled at the 14th jump star system. The two sides are there.

During the confrontation, the outpost warned that it was already a high-risk area and it was best for small teams not to get close.

Another piece of news, 22 hops south of the outpost, it seems that one of the Lester Pirate Group's clans has jointly reached an employment agreement with the Shatta Tribe. At this time, there are abnormal fleet movements there.

The outpost has launched a series of reconnaissance missions for this purpose, with extremely generous rewards.

He had no interest in this Li Qing. He just contacted Ding Youran, Wang Yanqing and other core team members to determine their coordinates, and the fleet moved over there.

Halfway through, I received a piece of information from each of Li Lie and Li Qi. I took a look and found that Li Lie collected information on the battlefield near the outpost, while Li Qi collected information on the recent battlefield situation.

"well done."

He nodded and browsed carefully.

After reading it quickly, I gained a little understanding of the situation on the nearby battlefield.

It has been a month since the expeditionary force's military operation began. As the Shatta Tribe's United Civilizations reacted, they have begun to counterattack.

Not only did the First Division of the Southern Province of the Shatta Tribe and United Civilization, which was stationed in the Quelta Fortress system, be transferred over, but many fleets were also mobilized from other places in the Southern Province. They began to comprehensively deal with the large and small fleets of many players who had sneaked into the Southern Province.

Fight back.

Although their technological level is not as good as theirs, they are after all a civilization that has developed for thousands of years, and with the power of the entire civilization, they have a fleet that far exceeds theirs.

They definitely can't beat one on one, but they often have an absolute strength advantage several times over.

With their full-scale counterattack, the original surprise tactics no longer worked, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate.

Li Qing analyzed it and didn't say anything. He just waited for the fleet to join Ding Youran and others, and took the initiative to set up a command channel to pull them in.

Now he is the second largest shareholder of Jialan and the deputy leader. When Yu Yuefei, the leader, is absent, he is the default leader of the team.

"You guys came earlier than me. Do you think it's better for us to enter the frontal battlefield next, or sneak into the Sand Tower civilization and continue to plunder as before?"

Wang Yanqing spoke first and said:

"Now the southern province of Shatta Civilization has entered a wartime state, and the number of detectors in major galaxies has been greatly increased. In the past half month, many teams have wanted to sneak in, and few have succeeded. Our team is quite large in total.

It’s hard to dive in completely.”

"Um."

Li Qing nodded, looked at Ding Youran, the other major shareholder, and asked:

"What do you think?"

Ding Youran looked at Li Qing talking eloquently on the communication channel, feeling quite magical.

A month ago, he was just an ordinary core member who followed his orders. A month later, his status skyrocketed and he is now the team's second largest shareholder and deputy leader.

But what made her feel even more magical was the spiritual ascension before. Although she didn't know much about it, she also knew that Li Qing seemed to have some extraordinary trump card, and he could actually be on an equal footing with Yu Yueyao.

Only a month has passed since I looked down at it and looked up at it now.

Facing Li Qing's inquiry, she felt a little dazed for a moment. At that moment, she felt the same oppressive feeling as when she saw Yu Yueyao.

Pulling herself together, she moved her eyes slightly away from looking directly at him, and said in a deep voice:

"My idea is similar to Wang Yanqing's. It's difficult for us to sneak in now, but it's also not feasible to enter the main battlefield. That would be easily affected by the enemy's main force. My idea is to stay away from the main battlefield and sneak attack some important locations in the enemy's secondary battlefields.

.”

"Well."

Li Qing unfolded the latest situation star map that he had just downloaded. It clearly marked the entire southern province of the Shata Tribe United Civilization from the outpost to the east, as well as all the enemies in the star area controlled by the Lester Pirate Group to the south.

The distribution of fleets of a certain size, as well as the location of fixed outposts or space stations, etc.

Taking into account the changes in fleet maneuvers on the battlefield, this situation map is updated every day, and the accuracy is not guaranteed and is only provided for reference.

Li Qing carefully looked at the star map, which marked the general scope of the southern province of the Shatta Tribe United Civilization, as well as the locations of several of the most important military bases and space stations of the Shatta Civilization, including the No. 6 Residential Station galaxy they had previously attacked.

Touching the No. 6 residential station system with his finger, a detailed introduction popped up, including that this residential station was once attacked and destroyed most of the residential modules. Now there is a fleet far larger than the one they encountered originally, stationed there to protect it from damage.

That giant alloy foundry.

It is certainly unrealistic to attack this giant alloy foundry. Yu Yuefei is away and Ye Xiao has rebelled. Now their core members only have 12 battleships combined. Even if they have technological advantages, they can only dare to attack more than 30 battleships at most.

It may be possible to fight more, but the losses will be huge.

If they were willing to put the fleet under their own command, it would not be a problem to defeat fifty battleships with the bonus of Servants of Light, but the garrison fleet at Residential Station No. 6 had more than three hundred battleships.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Li Qing let go of this goal and changed it to...

"How about this. We and I will go into the battlefield to see the situation. If there is no chance, we will mix in the battlefield. If we can successfully sneak into the hinterland of the Sand Tower civilization, we will do something big."

Wang Yanqing nodded:

"I think this is a good idea. Just adapt to circumstances. If you have a chance, try it. If you don't, forget it."

Ding Youran also nodded in approval.

Several main core members have approved it, and the other core members naturally have no objections.

"That being the case, let's get ready to go."

"Wait a moment."

Li Qing looked up and saw Ding Youran saying:

"Since it is a joint operation, I think it is necessary to form a joint fleet to facilitate unified command."

Li Qing was surprised. He had thought about this, but considering that he was the weakest on paper, they might not be willing to do it.

After all, if a combined fleet is formed, he, the second largest shareholder and deputy leader of the team, must be the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet.

This is the default rule, and it is the same for any team. Even if there is a very powerful commander in the team, it will still follow this default rule, except that the actual command must be directed by a powerful commander. The nominal commander-in-chief is only

Can be the highest-ranking person in the team.

He looked at Wang Yanqing. He was actually a little reluctant, but even though Ding Youran had mentioned it, he couldn't refuse.

He spread his hands and said:

"I have no opinion."

Li Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said:

"In that case, I will be disrespectful. If I have any questions about commanding later, you can feel free to put forward your opinions and I will seriously consider them."

Promote your own squad to a larger team and bring in all other fleets.

Ding Youran, Wang Yanqing and others immediately felt that the speed of their fleet had increased several times. She, who had always been unsmiling, now had a look of shock in her eyes.

There was no need for them to ask, because at this time everyone in the team channel felt the sudden increase in speed several times as their own fleets were included in the combined fleet, and they were all shocked at this time.
Chapter completed!
