Chapter 530: Civilization Threat Level

In Intrepid War, the senior commanders of Gemini are holding a post-war meeting.

“In this campaign, we lost a total of 124 battleships, including 3 large destroyers, 4230 mech forces, more than 50,000 UAVs, and some damage to the fortifications. It takes about 5 days to repair…”

Listening to the series of losses, everyone’s faces were solemn.

“Where are the results?” someone asked.

“Destroy the enemy’s more than 5600 new mechas…”

Everyone’s expressions became more solemn.

No warships were used, and just a surprise attack with mech troops caused such losses to them. It is still under their own home court advantage that this kind of battle damage ratio is undoubtedly quite astonishing.

The most important reason was that the opponent used a large number of powerful new mechas that Gemini had never seen before.

“Damn it, the opponent’s previous attacks, whether it is a battleship or a mecha, have shown significantly inferior combat effectiveness to ours. Could it be that the strength is deliberately hidden?”

“Perhaps… this is just the opponent’s small elite legion, and cannot be used as a reference for the opponent’s true strength?”

“I think it is unlikely. Who will consume the precious elite legion in the most dangerous stage of the wormhole attack? It is more likely to hide the strength!”

“…”

The officers present all expressed their own opinions.

At this time, a Sea Clan officer who was sitting in the first seat and wearing a blood-red cloak asked in a deep voice. “Has the analysis of the new weapons of Woolf’s civilization come out?”

As soon as he spoke, all the officers present immediately calmed down.

This sea clan officer has a stiff face and his actual age is not visible. The deep legal pattern and hooked nose are slightly vultures. Compared with the ordinary sea clan, his body is a bit thinner, but his eyes are extremely sharp.

Gillard, one of the only five generals in Gemini, is also the supreme commander of Woolf’s civilized front!

According to the Gemini military system, a legion commander-level officer like Ishar is roughly equivalent to a major general, two full ranks behind Gillard.

There is a general-level commander in each of the four star regions, and Gillard is the area where the Woolf Civilization Wormhole is located, the highest military commander in the Gallente region!

“Your Excellency General Gillard!” An officer immediately stood up and reported. “The reverse engineering of the enemy mecha wreckage has been initially completed. Analysis of the data extracted from the wreckage, the enemy named this mecha ‘bronze’!”

“‘Bronze’? Tell me about its specific properties.” Girard said.

“Yes! According to the available information, in addition to defensive performance, this mech has almost 80% of the performance of our sea storm-class mecha in other aspects.

From a technological point of view, the opponent’s mech is suspected of using force field propulsion technology. In terms of the change and application of force field, the enemy undoubtedly surpassed ours.

But this is not the fundamental reason for the strong combat effectiveness of the opposing mecha corps. The most fundamental reason is… the opposing pilots generally reach the level of our ace pilots! ”

The atmosphere at the scene condensed slightly.

In this raid, the opponent dispatched at least nearly 10,000 “bronze” mechas, and nearly 10,000 mechas with performance similar to the naval class?

What is even more terrifying is that tens of thousands of ace pilots were dispatched in one raid? Is it too extravagant?

Even if Gemini has so many ace pilots, it is impossible to waste such a cruel war of attrition.

If it were not for heavy fire support, the opponent would be able to tear a hole in the Gemini’s defense line by relying on these elite mecha corps!

“With the sample, can you reverse the other side’s mecha technology?” Girard asked.

War is the best catalyst for technological progress, especially wars between civilizations!

On the civilized battlefield, every outstanding commander not only needs to learn how to use war to weaken the enemy, but also how to use war to strengthen his own.

From the perspective of the war between the earth civilization and the Gemini civilization, relatively speaking, the side with the weaker technological strength will get the greater the benefits.

Of course, the prerequisite for getting benefits is that you can get enough time to completely digest the technology in a weak war…

“The other party has taken certain technology protection measures, but we have obtained a lot of samples this time. We believe that we will be able to digest them within 2 to 3 years, but large-scale promotion and application will take at least 4 to 5 years!”

Girard frowned. Obviously, the digestion time of this technology is not enough to let Gemini get rid of each other’s technological advantage in a short time.

He lowered his head for a moment and turned his gaze to a young Marine officer beside him. “Beckman, I want to hear the views of your staff.”

Although it was also an inquiry, Gillard’s tone was obviously softer, and he obviously valued the young officer quite seriously.

Beckman is a pretty handsome Marine officer, but his sitting posture is a bit lazy. A golden electronic pen is flexibly turned in various gestures in his hand, which makes people look a little dazzled.

Hearing Gillard’s question, Beckman moved his hand back, held the pen, and then raised his head, with a slightly lazy look in his eyes.

“Um… I think we need to reassess Woolf civilization…”

Then, on the huge projection display in front of the officers, the weapons of war that the Woolf civilization has used so far began to emerge continuously.

Among them, there are squid-like spaceships, various mechas holding different weapons, and various types of war machines. There are dozens of types.

Beckman pointed to these projections, “According to the previous encounters between our two sides, the technological strength of Woolf’s civilized war weapons is obviously inferior to that of the Gemini. Therefore, our previous battle loss ratios are generally Stay at around 5 to 1!

If we put aside the factors of our geographical advantage, the battle loss ratio can also be maintained at around 2:1.

In addition, all kinds of intelligence gathered through the battlefield show that… the interior of Woolf’s civilization does not seem to be monolithic!

Generally speaking, in order to reduce manufacturing costs and improve the efficiency of logistics and maintenance, it is best to have uniform specifications for the standard weapons used in the military. Therefore, only one or two different models of the same type of weapons can be purchased at most.

This is true even for a coalition like our Gemini.

But Woolf’s civilization has a wide range of combat weapons. There are already more than 3 races known to participate in the war, so there is a 90% probability that they do not have a unified military system, which leads to logistical chaos.

Because of this, our previous basic judgments about Woolf civilization are “similar in strength” and “inadequate dominance”, and the threat level to us is only A-level! ”

Domination! This is one of the important criteria for judging the comprehensive strength of a civilization within the Gemini civilization.

The overall combat effectiveness of a group is not only related to the hard power of technology and population, but also has a great relationship with the soft power of the political system, military structure, and so on.

The strength of the ruling power depends on the power system adopted by the civilization. The more concentrated the power, the stronger the combat capability displayed in the civilized war!

Therefore, relatively speaking, the imperial civilization has the strongest ruling power, and a system like the Gemini United Council is also inferior.

For example, the loose “United Nations physique” among more than 200 countries on the earth. Once you encounter a foreign enemy, even if the overall strength is slightly weaker, if it really fights, I am afraid that you will not even be able to find the “North”…

Another example is the unique “blue-green camp physique” of a certain area on the earth, which has a magical effect of 1+1<0. The incomparable "combat power" is really amazing and amazing…

Of course, countries on the earth have now been "employed" by Nie Yun in disguise, and foreign warfare has almost become a statement for the ghost captain, and the dominance is absolutely "imperial" level.

It is precisely because of the low level of technology, the coalition forces with more than three races, and the chaotic military logistics management. This is an important reason why Gemini previously gave Woolf a low score and listed it as a "target to be developed."

But obviously, the powerful raid launched by Woolf Civilization this time has sounded the alarm for Gemini!

"From this battle… we were obviously misled.

The opponent does not lack advanced weapon technology and a unified military command organization. The unknown wormhole expansion technology is even more of an amazing strategic power!

In addition… this time the other party still didn't leave any prisoners, right? "Beckman asked suddenly.

"Yes! The mecha that has lost its combat effectiveness automatically shuts down the life-sustaining system, and there is no one to live!" someone replied.

"Well! The obvious mandatory suicide attack! From this point of view, it is not a combat tactic that a low-dominance civilization can execute!" Beckman firmly said.

"You have said so much, don't you just want to say that the other party deliberately showed that the enemy was weak before, and now I am afraid that even the blind can see it!" Someone said with disdain.

Beckman shook the electronic pen in disapproval.

"No, although we were misled, it was not that the other party deliberately showed the enemy to be weak. Such strategic deception does not make much sense to us.

What I mean is that the opponent already has a two-tier military ruling system, the lower level is chaotic and inefficient, similar to the peripheral forces of civilization, and the upper level is not only stronger, but also has absolute dominance over the lower level!

It can be basically judged now… the opponent is very likely to have a pyramid-like ruling structure! "Beckman said.

"What? Two-tier military system?"

"Above the seemingly chaotic ruling layer, is there a first-level ruling layer?"

"Well…In this case, the huge power gap between the front and back of the opponent can be explained!"

"So, what we were confronted with before was just the opponent's outlying soldiers? This time is their regular army?"

"…"

After Beckman and others digested the information, they continued to speak slowly.

"According to my judgment, the current races participating in the war… are likely to be the slave civilization of the other party!" He followed this line of thought to further speculate.

"From this way of governance, we can roughly imagine the aggressiveness of Woolf's civilization.

Once the other party wants to launch a war of aggression, it must be a cruel war of attrition regardless of the cost, until the blood of slave civilization is drained, threatening its own ruling class.

And if the ruling class wants to control these lower-class slave civilizations, they must have a ruling-level force beyond one or even two levels.

Therefore, I think that the threat level of Woolf civilization should be raised from A-level to A+ level, and be included in the extremely threatening civilization! "

Everyone was silent.

The A+ level of civilization threat level has only appeared twice in the history of the Gemini civilization, and each time has brought great trauma to the civilization.

And the next level from A+ level is S level, which is completely irresistible, referred to as "natural disaster level"!

Regardless of whether Beckman's speculation is correct or not, many people realize that Gemini seems to be in big trouble…
