Sumiya's head was still buzzing when he left.
Active attack?
Aren't we supposed to be on full defense now?
Why initiate an attack?
Yan Xia didn't explain it to him, and he couldn't imagine it himself for a while.
Seeing Sumiya leave in confusion, Yan Xia was somewhat disappointed with Sumiya's performance.
His secretary was capable, but not particularly intelligent.
However, for a secretary, someone too clever might even dare to deceive him, so someone like Sumiya was actually just right for this job.
Yan Xia's purpose for launching an active attack was simple.
It was absolute confidence.
He reread the document and chuckled.
"Researching evasive materials?"
"Such things only show their effect at a time like this."
This current window of opportunity.
The two sides hadn't truly engaged yet.
Many bystanders still had a filter for the Twenty-Eight Star States Alliance, believing that with its many talents, researching an evasive material was nothing remarkable.
Perhaps Frost Blue Star Nation already had a solution for evasive warships.
Many such conjectures would arise.
But in reality, those who truly knew about evasive materials understood that Frost Blue Star Nation could not possibly research them.
This was not a technology that the Twenty-Eight Star States Alliance could control.
When the war began, everyone would understand this point.
Frost Blue Star Nation had lied.
At that time, this public opinion would naturally collapse on its own.
Yan Xia's proactive attack was also for this reason.
In fact, the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Rasti and Superstar Technology; market confidence would continuously erode, and by then, Rasti Star Nation might even collapse without a fight.
However, once the war began and Rasti achieved victory, this situation would rapidly alleviate.
To ensure everything was foolproof.
This time, Yan Xia dispatched 70% of Rasti Star Nation's entire warships.
A total of 140,000 warships went to the battlefield.
Among them, 100,000 were evasive warships.
The number of spaceships also exceeded 1,000,000.
The overall combat power still seemed to have a gap with the enemy, with a twofold difference in theoretical combat strength.
However, Yan Xia was full of confidence in this war.
…
The preparations didn't take long.
Following Yan Xia's command.
Four of Rasti's five Ship Commanders gathered their fleets and departed from port.
Along with them, other member Star Countries also dispatched some combat power to follow.
The speed of warships and spaceships on the Star Country side was similar, roughly around 130,000 kilometers per second.
The new Rasti evasive warships were faster; using the latest propulsion system, their speed could exceed 150,000 kilometers per second.
The war, originally scheduled to begin 30 years later, unfolded in a certain starfield's Deep Space 14 years later due to Rasti's proactive engagement.
Everyone looked forward to it.
Duke Yuan Sheng of Frost Blue Star Nation publicly mocked Rasti for overestimating itself.
Although Rasti had previously achieved success against greater odds.
Geluoluo Star Nation was destroyed.
But that was because Geluoluo Star Nation's forces were dispersed and their hands were tied.
This time, however, it was a direct encounter between two fleets in Deep Space.
Saisili stated directly: "Rasti has no chance of winning whatsoever!"
"I don't know if they are foolish or ridiculous."
"Surrendering is the choice they should make."
The information from the distant front did not reach Rasti immediately.
Even if Yan Xia knew, he would only smile.
The war situation at the front line reached him with almost no delay; with a distance of only 7 light-years, the information would reach his hands in less than a day.
The first day's information was exactly as Yan Xia expected.
"As expected, they are just a bunch of rabble."
Many of the enemy's warships were old relics.
Although still usable, their performance differed from new warships by less than 15%.
Absolute numbers could compensate for this gap.
However, their side had evasive warships, which inherently possessed technology from a leading Civilization; these old relics had a 15% gap compared to ordinary warships, not Rasti's evasive warships.
In the first engagement, the combined fleet of Frost Blue Star Nation and its vassal Star Countries lost over 7,000 warships and 260,000 spaceships.
And Rasti's losses?
149 warships, 1,334 spaceships!
Not even a fraction of the enemy's losses.
Soon, the four Ship Commanders and three Vice Admirals launched a second round of attacks.
The second round of attacks lasted for 11 days.
It could be said that it was a fierce battle, with Rasti's losses even exceeding 4,000 warships.
The enemy's losses, however, exceeded 100,000.
The huge disparity in casualties immediately caused the enemy to panic.
The second round of attacks ended with a portion of the enemy warships surrendering and another portion fleeing.
This also marked the end of the war.
It lasted only 12 days in total.
The Frost Blue Star Nation's combined fleet, boasting over 300,000 warships and tens of millions of spaceships, disintegrated.
"Too weak."
Yan Xia was not at all surprised by this.
