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

"immediately!"

Jiao Jinghui gave the order to the communications officer, his voice regaining its usual calmness, yet carrying an undeniable force.

"Send this intelligence report verbatim to the headquarters' core briefing room simultaneously!"

Priority: Highest, Red Channel!

Inform the confidential secretary that Chief of Staff Wen Shiheng and Commander Wen Tingtao must review this immediately!

"Yes, sir!"

The communications officer responded loudly, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he sent this intelligence—a message powerful enough to shake up the theater command—to the core of power.

Jiao Jinghui stood still, his gaze sweeping over the screen again at the sentence "The cumulative battle results are equivalent to annihilating more than two complete Imperial Classified Fleets," and an indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.

Doubts and worries have been replaced by a sense of awe and pride.

Qin Beiwang and his Pluto fleet not only survived the Empire's encirclement and suppression, but also accomplished a brilliant and unbelievable comeback that is worthy of being recorded in the history of the Federation's military.

The peace at headquarters was about to be shattered by this victory report from behind enemy lines and the intelligence department.

Core briefing room.

The intelligence summary from the FCB, marked "Red - Top Secret," was projected onto the central main screen.

Inside, a group of senior staff officers, led by Chief of Staff Wen Shiheng, had just finished reading.

For a full minute, the briefing room was completely silent, with only the faint hum of the equipment's cooling system.

The deathly silence was finally broken by a sharp sound of a chair leg scraping against the ground.

A colonel in charge of logistics assessment leaned back abruptly, his face drained of color, his lips moving but unable to utter a meaningful sound.

"A... Imperial main force tiered fleet..."

Another major general, who specialized in enemy situation analysis, muttered to himself, his finger unconsciously swiping across the Imperial fleet numbers marked as "severely damaged" or "annihilated" on the screen.

Obsidian, Blood Blade (partial), Iron Curtain (partial)... finally settling on "Megalodon - Annihilation".

"There are also four sub-class fleets... Langawei Star Naval Base..."

His voice grew softer and softer, as if he himself couldn't process the information.

"They were never facing a one-to-one, or even two-to-one, opponent..."

An elderly staff officer, responsible for strategic planning, took a deep breath, his voice trembling.

"Based on the timeline and battle results described in this intelligence report... the Pluto Fleet, a newly established fleet, engaged in combat with at least three tiered fleets—Obsidian, Bloodblade, and Iron Curtain—that were either fully operational or still had their main forces intact, in the heart of the Empire-controlled Savannah system, and successfully inflicted heavy damage on them!"

He pointed to the areas on the star map where battles had broken out in the Savannah system.

"Look here, and here... They not only weakened their opponents in mobile warfare, but also took the initiative to remove the tough nut to crack, Lancaway Star!"

What precise intelligence and what daring infiltration that would require!

"Then……"

Another, younger staff officer chimed in, his tone filled with disbelief.

"When the Empire was clearly enraged and dispatched four separate fleets—megalodon, deep-sea jellyfish, centaur, and mermaid—to warp in an attempt to annihilate them in one fell swoop..."

He paused, then spoke almost in a whisper.

"Instead of retreating or hiding, they...ambushed and annihilated an entire Megalodon fleet at point Z-78, where Imperial reinforcements had just arrived!"

"This...this is simply..."

Someone tried to find a suitable word, but found that any adjective seemed pale in comparison to this battle report.

Wen Shiheng remained silent, his hands clasped on the table, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

He reviewed the briefing word by word, his mind replaying his previous assessment of Qin Beiwang's "rashness" and "excessive risk," as well as the anxieties that the "Dawn" plan had caused him.

Now, everything is clear.

Qin Beiwang's "rash advance" was based on a thorough understanding of the enemy's situation and absolute confidence in his own abilities.

His "risk" resulted in a glorious victory that could change the entire Savannah system and even the border situation.

It wasn't luck or chance.

It is a tactical cut as precise as a scalpel, a strategic patience that is calm to the point of cruelty, and an extraordinary courage to dance continuously on the edge of a knife.

A 22-year-old commander and a newly formed fleet, only a few months old, fought a textbook-perfect annihilation battle against overwhelming odds in the heart of the Empire!

The results were so brilliant that they would put any veteran of the Federation to shame.

Wen Tingtao stood before the enormous star map, his gaze piercing.

The FCB's intelligence and staff assessments have completely dispelled his last concerns and conservative thinking.

What the Pluto fleet achieved in Savannah was not a lucky victory, but a glorious battle worthy of being recorded in history.

"Order!"

Wen Tingtao's voice was loud and resolute, echoing throughout the briefing room.

"First, the reinforcement sequence has been upgraded."

In addition to the four fleets that have already set off: the Flame Demon, the Snow Leopard, the Divine Arrow, and the Flying Cavalry.

The theater reserve forces—Black Eye Fleet, Black Scorpion Fleet, and Orchid Fleet—must immediately cease all current missions and enter a state of maximum combat readiness.

Within 72 hours, complete resupply and assembly, and head to the Elvira system!

The primary mission of the forward operational group established in Elvira has shifted to ensuring the absolute security of the Elvira system and being ready to move forward at any time to provide direct fire support to the Pluto fleet or cover its retreat!

"Second, adjust the commands of the four fleets including the Flame Demon."

Cancel the "standby" order and command them to proceed in battle formation towards the Savannah system to support the Pluto fleet, provided the rear route is secure!

"third!"

Wen Tingtao turned to Jiao Jinghui, the communications director, his tone solemn.

"Immediately draft a formal battle report and commendation recommendation in the name of the theater command and submit it to the Federal Joint Staff."

He paused for a moment, then clearly stated the key points.

"Report and corresponding recommendations regarding the major tactical victory achieved by our 'Pluto' squadron in the Savannah system."

"The content must be clearly stated: The 'Pluto' squadron, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Qin Beiwang, fearlessly launched an attack and penetrated deep into the enemy-controlled area of ​​the Savannah system."

After continuous battles, they successively defeated and severely damaged several main sub-fleets of the Empire, including Obsidian, Bloodblade, and Iron Curtain, and successfully ambushed and annihilated the Empire's Megalodon-class fleet in the Z-78 area.

The total number of enemy ships destroyed, at all levels, has far exceeded the size of two standard Imperial fleets, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy, greatly boosting morale in our theater of operations, and reversing the strategic situation in the Savannah direction.

He paused, then uttered the most crucial part:

"In view of Lieutenant Colonel Qin Beiwang and his fleet’s outstanding achievements, extraordinary command skills, and the troops’ formidable combat capabilities."

In order to continue to expand the gains, consolidate the advantage in the Savannah region, and prepare for a possible fierce counterattack from the Empire, the Theater Command formally recommends the following:
