One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy-One 5th Time

A few days later, the Jizhou battle group.

The virtual conference room was packed with seats. The command team headed by Huo Qiang and the eleven captains were all in the room. All eyes were on Huo Qiang.

Chief of Staff Wu Han unfolded a virtual screen in front of him. With a swipe of his finger, the virtual screen floated to Huo Qiang: "Commander, this is the observation report in the past few days. The situation has become very obvious. Ninety-nine percent of the enemy's targets are Mars. "

To be honest, Wu Han was very dissatisfied with Huo Qiang.

The fleet discovered alien anomalies early, but Huo Qiang insisted on observing for a few more days, which wasted several days.

At present, the direction and speed of each battle group are not as good as those of the aliens. Even if they return home, the aliens will be the first to reach Mars. If it returns decisively a few days ago, the fleet can return to Mars ahead of the enemy and prevent the enemy from planning to attack Mars.

First occupying Ceres and then crushing the enemy's attack can bring a perfect end to this battle.

But now? Huo Qiang delayed again and again, ruining the good situation and simply putting the initiative into the enemy's hands. Many people secretly speculated on what kind of medicine Huo Qiang was selling in the gourd, and Wu Han was no exception, and he vaguely felt that Huo Qiang seemed to be worried about aliens not attacking Mars!

This feeling is strange, but it can really be felt.

Although he had some thoughts in his heart, Wu Han knew very well what should and should not be said, so he only picked out the most critical things and kept the rest in his heart.

Huo Qiang didn't even glance at the report, and said in a deep voice: "Have all the enemy warships flown to Mars?"

"No." Wu Han said, "Probably 80%. The remaining one-fifth is still there, probably because they want to block us."

"Stop?" Huo Qiang couldn't help but laugh, "This is interesting. We are trying to trick the aliens, but they are trying to trick us? Haha, that's a good plan!"

His tone was like ice in the cold winter, exuding a faint chill.

Zhuang Bo hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Commander, should we rush back immediately? I have already calculated it. The positions of each battle group are good. It is still too late to leave quickly. At most, the aliens will be a few days late. There are people on Mars. The Xuzhou battle group and its four super cannons can't hold on until the fleet comes back for reinforcements."

Huo Qiang pursed his lips and nodded: "The plan is okay, but it is a bit conservative."

Zhuang Bo was startled and tentatively said: "Then return at full speed and intercept the enemy midway."

Wu Han reminded: "It's difficult, the enemy ships are too scattered."

Except for the enemy force in the direction of Ceres, which was an assembled fleet, the other enemy ships were all scattered, with as many as three or five ships and as few as one.

In addition to the enemy ships that failed to arrive at the assembly point in time, there are also many enemy ships that have appeared one after another in the past few days. They are located in several star fields, are large in number, and are widely distributed, and the progress of all enemy ships The direction is all Mars, and Huo Qiang's dozens of warships alone cannot stop so many enemy ships.

Zhuang Bo spread his hands and said, "It's not possible to return to the voyage, and it's not possible to intercept on the way. I really can't think of a way."

Huo Qiang's eyes turned to the captains present: "What about you? What do you think?"

Everyone was like a gourd with its mouth cut off, and there was silence in the conference room.

"Don't have any ideas?" Huo Qiang raised his voice, but his eyes were filled with disappointment.

Ye Han really wanted to talk about scattered interception, but couldn't others think of such a simple answer? After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to keep his mouth shut and listen to other people's thoughts honestly.

"Be bold. No matter how outrageous your ideas are, you can speak freely." Huo Qiang encouraged.

"It's better... to return reinforcements." A captain said with difficulty, "Mars has only one battle group, and the enemy has at least two hundred battleships. The gap is really too big."

"That's right!" Another captain agreed, "Even with super cannons, one battle group is too few!"

"It's okay to let aliens occupy Mars. What if they don't occupy Mars and directly attack the earth?" Another captain said worriedly.

"Yes, there is still a battle group left on Mars. The Earth has nothing but super cannons. Landing a wave of aliens is enough. If there is another wave..." He only said this, and what he had already thought about suddenly disappeared. I know how to describe it.

But everyone else understood what he meant and agreed.

These captains took a good lead. Seeing this, the others finally spoke. The captains expressed their opinions. Although the specific opinions were different, there were only two opinions. Most people wanted to return to Mars as soon as possible, and a few wanted to return to Mars as soon as possible. People's suggestion is to intercept.

Ye Han really wanted to say something new, but he was really not that good. He racked his brains and couldn't come up with anything new. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stood in the ranks of the minority and became a Menshevik.

Selective interception was not Ye Han's thorough consideration. He simply felt that the field game style of making his own decisions was more suitable for him.

After Huo Qiang waited for the captains to finish speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "You guys, to be honest, I'm very disappointed!" At this point, his voice suddenly paused, and after a long time it turned into a sigh, " Do you think that the target of the entire army's dispatch this time is Mars or Ceres? "

From Zhuang Bo down to every captain, everyone here looked at each other, not understanding what Huo Qiang meant.

Huo Qiang added: "Do you still think that this mission is to use Ceres to contain the enemy and buy time for Mars?"

Zhuang Bo couldn't help it: "Commander, I don't understand what you mean, what do you want to say?"

Huo Qiang pointed his finger at his side, and the sky suddenly showed a bird's-eye view of the solar system. He drew a few fingers on the map, and the star map quickly enlarged.

He said without looking away: "To tell you the truth, our target is neither Ceres nor Mars, but this!"

Huo Qiang's finger poked hard at the star map, and the enlarging star map suddenly stopped. Everyone looked closely and saw that Huo Qiang's finger was pointing at Jupiter.

Huo Qiang's words were like a thunderbolt that struck everyone's heart. Ye Han stared at Jupiter in a daze, then moved to Huo Qiang's expressionless face, and it seemed that a string in his mind suddenly broke.

I understand, I understand everything. No wonder I always feel that something is wrong. It turns out that the target is Jupiter!

He stood up suddenly and asked in a non-anxious tone: "Commander, is our mission to counterattack Jupiter?"

"It's not a counterattack, it's an expedition, the fifth expedition!" Huo Qiang punched the star map and smashed Jupiter to pieces.
