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

Two elite sub-class fleets of Bloodblade, with a total of more than thirty starships.

At this moment, only less than twenty battered destroyers and a small number of cruisers, lacking unified command, were left to eke out a living, like sheep that had survived being torn apart by wolves, terrified and bewildered.

The cruiser-class combat power was almost completely wiped out by the "Gale" fleet.

Isabella Marlowe stood on the bridge, her icy blue eyes reflecting the wrecked battlefield on the tactical screen, and the still-orderly and menacing Pluto fleet formation.

Shock, like a cold steel needle, pierced through her usual composure and calculation.

too fast.

From launching the ambush to focusing fire to cripple the "giant elephant".

Then there's the cruiser hunting down Dire Wolves in the Gale Swarm.

Finally, the final decision was made with "Kunlun Mountain - Modified"...

The entire process was smooth, ruthless, and decisive, without the slightest delay or hesitation.

The coordination between different ship types, the timing of firepower, and the devastating strikes on key targets demonstrate an alarmingly high level of synergy.

This is definitely not the kind of coordination that a newly formed fleet, consisting mainly of new recruits and only a few months old, could produce.

Even by the standards of the Imperial Fleet as she knew them, this tactical maneuver, which completed target identification, firepower allocation, and efficient execution in an extremely short time, was remarkable.

Even Zane Barrett's "Bloodblade" main force, known for its strong offense and ferocity, might not be able to do it so cleanly and decisively.

The opposing commander's masterful control over the fleet, and the officers' and soldiers' resolute and precise execution of orders, far exceeded her understanding of the "new fleet."

Qin Beiwang... what method did he use to forge such a fleet to such a level in such a short time?

Just as Isabella was racing through her mind, trying to reassess this formidable adversary, the Pluto fleet moved again.

They did not retreat, nor did they adopt a posture of directly confronting the iron curtain's formidable defenses.

The massive, deep blue array of over ninety starships was neatly divided in two, as if gently parted by an invisible giant hand!

The two fleet groups, which were of roughly equal size, changed course to the left and right respectively.

Their engines simultaneously spewed out dazzling exhaust flames, drawing two graceful and sharp arcs at extremely high speeds, their movements perfectly synchronized without the slightest chaos.

Their intentions are all too clear.

Instead of directly attacking the Iron Curtain with the "Shield Wall," they instead launched a high-speed flanking maneuver towards the flanks of the Iron Curtain fleet!

"They're trying to outflank us!"

The adjutant exclaimed in disbelief.

Isabella immediately understood the opponent's tactics.

The Iron Curtain Fleet is known for its defense; its frontal formation is as solid as a rock, and a head-on confrontation would be extremely costly.

However, if the enemy successfully outflanks or even outmaneuvers the enemy to the flanks or rear, even the strongest frontal defense will have weaknesses, forcing the formation to be adjusted and putting the enemy on the defensive.

The opponent's choice to split their forces into two groups and take a roundabout route was even more ruthless.

This forced the Iron Curtain Fleet to divide its forces to deal with the situation; otherwise, if any flank was breached, the entire defensive line would collapse.

However, splitting up forces would weaken the Iron Curtain Fleet's most relied-upon combined defensive force field, which depends on densely packed formations.

"Order!

The left-wing squadron, led by the "Kenjo," will turn 15 degrees to the right, maintain its formation, and intercept the enemy's flanking left-wing fleet!

The right-wing squadron, led by the USS Fortress, will turn 15 degrees to the left to intercept the enemy's right-wing fleet!

Central main force, slow down, maintain facing, and prepare to provide fire support and respond to a central breakthrough!

Isabella quickly ordered an attempt to use local superior forces to block the enemy separately while maintaining the stability of the core position.

The massive Iron Curtain fleet began to adapt, like a slow and heavy giant trying to spread its arms to block the circling attack of two nimble and ferocious birds.

However, the speed and determination with which the Pluto fleet maneuvered on both flanks put Isabella under pressure once again.

The opponent seemed completely unconcerned about the potential weaknesses in their formation caused by the division of forces.

Or rather, they had absolute confidence in their cooperation and command coordination.

However, the problem soon became apparent.

The Iron Curtain Fleet is known for its defense capabilities, and the design philosophy of its starships tends to include heavy composite armor, multi-layered energy shields, and powerful pinpoint firepower.

This makes their individual ship mass generally far exceed that of other warships of the same class, making them like mobile steel fortresses.

This solidity brings unparalleled resilience, but also sacrifices crucial mobility.

When the two flanking formations of the Pluto fleet, mainly composed of high-speed warships, pushed their engine power to the limit and made tactical dashes at sharp angles, the Iron Curtain fleet's interception formations appeared somewhat cumbersome and slow.

Their turning and acceleration are like a heavyweight boxer trying to catch a lightweight opponent; although they have the advantage in strength, they are always a step behind in terms of rhythm.

The struggle for tactical positions in the starry sky is ever-changing.

The Pluto fleet's target was crystal clear.

Seizing the "horizontal head" of the T-shape is disadvantageous; what they want to seize is the advantageous position of the "vertical T."

In space warfare, due to the small frontal projection area of ​​starships and the concentration of their main armor belt and main gun groups at the front, they can seize the front side of the enemy fleet column (i.e., the top of the vertical T).

It allows one's own fleet to unleash the most intense frontal firepower on the flank (the horizontal line of the T) of the enemy's column with the smallest possible area of ​​impact, creating localized firepower crushing.

The "Bastion" fleet on the right flank of the Iron Curtain has just completed its turn and is attempting to block the right-wing fleet of Pluto.

But the Pluto fleet was faster and had a sharper formation!

Like a precise awl, they darted through the gaps in the "Bastion" fleet's formation before it could fully deploy its horizontal line, successfully blocking the front flank of the "Bastion" fleet's column.

The perfect "vertical T" tactical position!

Without a moment's adjustment, without the slightest hesitation, the prelude to destruction began the instant the tactical window opened.

The ship that launched the first attack was once again the "Kunlunshan-Kai," which hovered at the rear like the Grim Reaper staring at the battlefield.

Its massive, heavy particle beam turret slightly adjusted its angle, and the muzzle once again gathered terrifying energy that distorted space itself.

A pale, destructive torrent, crossing the battlefield for the second time!

This time, its trajectory was aimed directly at the flank of the "Barrier" fleet column.

The destroyer located on the outermost edge of the column was the first to be hit, its shields and hull were pierced and vaporized as if made of paper.

The beam continued unabated, penetrating a medium cruiser that was attempting to provide cover behind it, leaving a horribly hollowed-out hole with melted edges in the center of its hull.

The beam's ultimate target was none other than the core of the "Barrier" fleet, the flagship battleship "Steel Plate".

A heavy defensive battleship known for its exaggerated frontal armor and super shield generator.

The captain of the "Steel Plate" issued the order for full-scale defense the moment the beam of light appeared.
