Chapter 233 A sudden whim
"Excellent intelligence work allows us to anticipate our enemies and gives us a huge advantage in future wars, but we have become somewhat slack in this regard."
Li Jian made a conclusion, and the atmosphere in the combat meeting room suddenly became a little heavy.
There is no doubt that the emphasis in recent years on the development of hard conditions such as science and technology, weapons and equipment has inevitably led to slackness in the work on soft conditions.
Just as Li Jian said, the huge caliber gun muzzles of the Hans civilization's battleships are fully capable of determining how this caliber's firepower configuration will be used.
However, the fact is that this point has been subconsciously ignored by everyone.
Fan Ren pondered for a while, with some emotion in his eyes. Li Jian's speech did not dwell on the casualty ratio on the front battlefield at all, but started directly from the source. His words were so powerful that they deafened everyone.
He nodded and said calmly: "This is a dereliction of duty on our part."
Then he continued without stopping: "In this way, the rank of our previous intelligence agency will be raised to the ministerial level and separated from the military.
This is what I think: in the future space age, we will be facing species with different genes from ours. Some of their civilizations may have developed for thousands of years at the shortest, tens of thousands of years at the longest, or even hundreds of thousands of years.
In the face of these civilizations that require a lot of analytical work, we need to set up a professional intelligence analysis agency.
Of course, A-Dai is actually the best helper in this regard.
Unfortunately, for some reason, Ah Dai needs to go underground from now on.
Even completely erasing the existence of Ah Dai in our history. I will explain this in detail later.
What I want to say is that without A-Dai, we will no longer have the ability to analyze intelligence in seconds.
But even so, we still need to establish professional intelligence analysis agencies, as well as intelligence processing agencies and intelligence collection agencies.
For these, I plan to set up a new intelligence department, which will be independent from the military and even have the same rank as the military.
Liu Shuai, what do you think?
After Fan Ren finished speaking, he turned the conversation to Liu Shengzhan. After all, the intelligence system originally belonged to a branch department under the military.
Now that a new department with a rank even up to the military's level is to be established, the military's sentiments must be taken into consideration.
And Liu Shengzhan is the person in charge of the military.
Hearing this, he stood up, glanced at everyone, and then said in a loud voice: "The military will resolutely and thoroughly implement the commander's orders. This will never change!"
All the commanders and combat personnel in the field immediately stood up, each of them standing straight as a pine tree, looking at Fan Ren with firm eyes without a trace of hesitation, and saluted together.
Seeing this, Fan Ren glanced at the space soldiers of the Qingluan Legion on the field and breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, he was worried that it might take him some time to completely control this army.
Now it seems that the legacy left to him by Mr. Ye and his ancestors is nothing special that requires him to worry about.
He waved his hand, and everyone sat down again one by one.
"Okay, in that case, we will discuss the intelligence department's issues after the meeting. Next, we will continue to summarize the shortcomings of our army in this blocking battle, and what we can learn from the Hans Civilization Fleet."
After he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but return to their previous state.
Not long after, a captain in charge of the Punisher brigade stood up.
"Hello, leaders. My name is Zhao Haifei." Fan Ren recognized at a glance that this captain was the pilot who had shot down two threatening fighter jets from South Australia over the Pacific Ocean.
Unexpectedly, decades later, the other party has now become a captain of the Punisher Battalion of the Space Force's Qingluan Corps.
He nodded slightly and smiled, motioning the other party to continue.
"That's right. In fact, in my opinion, the performance of our Punisher in this blocking battle is undoubtedly worthy of recognition.
At the very least, within a range of 200 kilometers, the battleships of the Hans civilization can basically be said to have no ability to fight back at all.
I believe everyone has observed this. The warships of the Hans civilization are vulnerable under our firepower coverage.
This undoubtedly proves that the Punisher's design and expected performance meet our standards.
However, even in such an advantageous range engagement, with the ratio of combat-capable warships on both sides being 1731 to 500, we still lost more than Punisher battleships.
I think our combat methods could be further optimized.
For example, we could use unmanned target ships to take over missile fire attacks instead of the Punisher. In this way, perhaps we could lose less than 100 Punisher battleships.
Of course I don’t know if this approach is feasible, this is just a suggestion from me, that’s all I have to say.”
After Zhao Haifei finished speaking, perhaps realizing that he was daydreaming, he couldn't help but look a little uneasy.
But upon hearing this, Fan Ren's eyes lit up.
All along, he was a "fool" who knew nothing about war. Now Zhao Haibo explained it to him in the most straightforward way. Even he, a fool on the battlefield, understood what the other party meant.
Originally, he thought, it was a space war.
The silver-like supermetal that has been processed with high strength has super hardness itself, which provides the ship with extremely terrifying armor properties.
But obviously this is still not enough.
On average, four heavy attack missiles of the Hans civilization can completely destroy a Punisher.
However, this type of attack by a missile does not have the ability to maneuver at large angles when flying at such a high speed in a vacuum.
Of course, what is meant here is a heavy attack ballistic missile with a caliber of 10 meters, rather than a light missile with super high skill capabilities.
In this case, these missiles that do not have large-angle maneuvers should undoubtedly not be able to penetrate the unmanned target ship that suddenly appears.
The more Fan Ren thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, and he immediately said, "A-Dai, analyze the feasibility!"
He couldn't wait any longer. Now that he was on the Conqueror and in the Ross 154 planetary system, Ah Dai didn't need to hide too much.
“The Ross Civilization’s locking system uses analysis data from the corresponding ship. Generally speaking, once a missile is locked, it will not be diverted to other targets.
However, if the target ship mentioned by Captain Zhao is replaced with a specially made closed target ship that can directly "swallow" the opponent's missiles, it may be possible. This needs to be verified.
Moreover, the size of the target ship may not be much smaller.
Another thing is that we can’t carry too many of them, as this will affect the Punisher’s performance.”
