Starting with God's perspective, how to lose an interstellar war?

Its mission is to attract and contain the Federation's only sequential fleet, preventing it from maneuvering and supporting other battlefields!

"A pincer movement...what a pincer movement!"

Wen Tingtao squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, his voice low and hoarse, filled with barely suppressed anger and a hint of... the chilling feeling of having been completely outmaneuvered.

This time, the Empire's actions were definitely not a small-scale retaliation motivated by Savannah's "face."

This is a long-planned, well-prepared, strategic offensive aimed at severely damaging or even tearing apart the entire border defense system of the Wanshi Starfield!

The command room was deathly silent, with only the low hum of the ventilation system.

The staff officers stood with their hands at their sides, their faces equally grim, and the air was thick with a sense of oppressive frustration and deep anxiety about the future.

Just as the atmosphere in the command headquarters became tense, and everyone was overwhelmed by the Empire's fierce offensive—

"commander!

FCB Agent "Rose," Top Priority, Red Secret!

Communications Director Jiao Jinghui practically rushed in, clutching a newly translated intelligence report tightly in his hand, his voice filled with barely concealed horror.

Wen Tingtao suddenly looked up.

"read!"

Jiao Jinghui quickly scanned the intelligence summary, speaking rapidly.

"Intelligence confirms that the Empire has secretly constructed and deployed at least one strategic stargate deep within the Bushman system!"

"The Erebus and Ares fleets most likely achieved their ultra-long-range, ultra-fast troop deployment through portable stargates carried by the Centaur fleet!!"

"Buzz—!"

It was like dropping a bombshell into a deathly silent room!

"A portable... stargate?!"

Chief of Staff Wen Shiheng gasped in shock, his face draining of color instantly.

Not only him, but all the staff officers in the command room showed expressions of extreme shock and even horror!

Stargate! It's a top-tier strategic facility that allows for instant or near-instantaneous travel across the vast starry sky!

In everyone's mind, stargates are huge, bulky, and fixed structures that require years or even decades to select a site, build, and debug.

Each activation requires a terrifying amount of energy comparable to the output of a star over several days, and it is usually only used in life-or-death or decisive battles.

And portable stargates?

This completely overturns all existing military common sense and logistical understanding!

This means that the Empire has mastered strategic mobility technology like never before!

They can quickly build an "interstellar bridge" that allows the entire fleet to pass through, just like setting up a large jump beacon!

This completely explains why "Erebus" and "Ares" were able to appear so mysteriously and almost without warning in the heart of the Wan Shi Starfield and launch a devastating offensive!

Their troops and supplies did not need to travel through the long and dangerous front-line shipping lanes.

Instead, they were transported directly from the rear of the Empire to the forward base in the Bushman system through this "portable bridge," and then rushed towards the Federation's defenses!

"No wonder...no wonder they were able to move so quickly..."

Wen Tingtao muttered to himself, all his previous doubts about how the empire had achieved such a sudden strategic breakthrough suddenly became clear, but the answer to the mystery made him feel even colder.

Has the empire's technological advantage really reached this level?

"It must be destroyed!"

Chief of Staff Wen Shiheng slammed his fist on the table, his voice resolute.

"This stargate is the throat of the Empire's offensive!"

It's their main artery for troop transport!

As long as the stargate remains, they can continuously send fleets from the Opal Starfield and even deeper into the heart of the Empire!

Our hopes of reclaiming Blue Moon, Flowing Light, and Guangsha are extremely slim!

The entire Wanshi Starfield is in danger of being overwhelmed by the endless stream of imperial reinforcements!

"That's right! We have to get rid of it!"

Another senior operations staff officer echoed his sentiments excitedly.

"The portable stargates carried by the Centaur fleet are the lifeblood of Ares and Erebus, and the enemy will definitely defend them fiercely."

A direct frontal assault would result in too many losses and take too long, easily leading to a protracted war of attrition!

At this moment, a relatively young but quick-thinking intelligence analyst, with a glint in his eye, proposed a bold, almost insane idea.

"Chief of Staff, Commander!"

He paused, then uttered something startling:

"But what if we... do the opposite?"

He pointed sharply at the Bushman Galaxy, located in the heart of the Opal Starfield, on the star map.

"The fixed stargate in the Bushman system is the true starting point of the entire transport chain!"

"They would never have imagined that the Imperial front was going so smoothly."

We dare send a fleet to bypass the main battlefield, launch a long-range raid, and strike right at their rear, attacking their supposedly safe core stargate!

"If successful, Bushman's portable stargate will become a source of water without water and a tree without roots."

The entire empire's troop deployment system for this offensive will be cut in half!

This could even cause widespread chaos within the Opal Starfield!

The suggestion silenced the command room instantly.

A long-range raid, deep into the heart of the Empire's controlled star system, to attack its core logistics hub.

This is simply a fantasy!

The probability of success is extremely low, and the fleet that carries out the mission is almost destined to die, with only one in nine or even ten chances of survival!

but……

The strategic value of this idea is so great that it makes your heart race!

If successful, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the empire's Achilles' heel! Enough to reverse the entire tide of the war!

All eyes turned involuntarily to Wen Tingtao, awaiting his decision.

Wen Tingtao stared intently at the star map, his gaze shifting back and forth between the precarious Wanshi front and the distant and dangerous heartland of the Imperial Opal.

He understood that if the Empire continued to send fleets over, they would lose eight star systems, including the Blue Moon system.

They might even assemble a fleet.

Perhaps... we really need an extreme adventure, a gamble where we have to face death to survive.

And who will be chosen to carry out this task...

Involuntarily, a young figure appeared in his mind, one who had already created miracles time and again.

Qin Beiwang.

And his "Pluto".

Qin Beiwang and his "Pluto" cluster are almost the only suitable options.

It has a complete organizational structure, excellent equipment, and possesses T5 aircraft carriers and special warships like the "Zhenyue".

Most importantly, Qin Beiwang himself has proven that he possesses the tactical talent and decisiveness to create miracles in desperate situations.

but--

The moment this thought surfaced, it was forcefully suppressed by another, heavier, and more personal force within Wen Tingtao's heart.

Qin Beiwang... is Qin Qianfan's son.

He was his old friend, a federal marshal, and the only male in his family.
