Chapter 727, Defense Plan
Du Shiliang was not criticized.
After Wang Jiarong received the recovered ships, goods and personnel, she expressed her gratitude to him and requested more escort forces, and the entire caravan started to move again.
Although there was still concern about pirate attacks, the caravan's mission had to be completed well.
And the report to the Alliance Government and the Ministry of Military Affairs was not scolded.
Marshal Taddius had a communication with Du Shiliang.
Without spending time reviewing what had already happened, Taddius was most concerned about the overall plan of the Alliance Navy to carry out security work within the entire Alliance.
A simple robbery incident was not critical; it was understandable that the newly emerged enemy, the Dark Eldar, caught the navy off guard.
Taddius would not question Du Shiliang in these aspects.
However, this situation must be eliminated in the future and must not occur again.
The Alliance Government is also very concerned about this.
Before this, the Alliance had not suffered any particularly serious pirate challenges. Even during the war, the safety of Xinghai transportation was relatively high.
The Dark Eldar, an extremely elusive organization, poses a great challenge to the safety of the Alliance's shipping.
Thadius is eager to know whether the Navy Headquarters' defense plan is reliable.
Du Shiliang, as the acting general manager of the Alliance Navy after Ye Lixia left, is under great pressure. He is actually a little unsure in his heart, and he has no experience in dealing with the Dark Eldar.
But fortunately, he doesn't have it, but someone else does.
Inquisitor Martini used to hang out in the Eastern Space Region for many years, where he suffered from the invasion of Dark Elf Pirates. There is a set of conventional plans that can be summarized for reference.
Then, there is the more important Heretic Inquisition. They are experts in dealing with various aliens, and the special means of interrogating Dark Elves are what they have come up with, and they can also provide a lot of help.
With the help of these two parties, Du Shiliang came up with a plan that was barely acceptable.
It is mainly based on active attacks and sweeps, supplemented by passive patrol defense.
Let's talk about the so-called passive defense first. The frequency of the Alliance Navy's attendance has increased significantly. Provide more escort for the Alliance caravans, disperse the fleet a little more, detect the routes of key trade routes and tax fleets in advance to ensure safety.
This is a relatively conventional method, but you cannot rely entirely on passive defense.
As long as the Dark Eldar sneak into any galaxy, they can find an uninhabited asteroid or an uncolonized non-habitable planet in the vast universe and build a curtain spirit door at a low cost, and they will be done. In the future, just open a door in Comoros, their hometown, and come anytime and anywhere.
Faced with such high flexibility, passive defense will definitely be hard to defend, and the defense line will be riddled with holes.
More importantly, we still have to rely on active means to explore and clean up the curtain spirit doors that the Dark Eldar may have built in every galaxy.
If the door is destroyed, they can't come over.
It is this door, which is generally about tens of meters in diameter. On the scale of the universe, it is a drop in the ocean and too difficult to find.
Moreover, it does not have to be built on a habitable planet, as long as there is a place where the veil spirit door can be fixed.
The experts of the Inquisition have some ways to find it quickly.
To be honest, the reliability is not particularly high, but it is relatively more efficient than searching aimlessly.
At the same time, the Alliance has another advantage that many places do not have when fighting against the Dark Eldar.
That is psychic power.
The Storm Mage Corps does not belong to the Alliance military, the Alliance government, or the Alliance Legal Affairs Center. Their role is more like the Holy Lily Sisters or the Phoenix Space Marines, an independent organization outside. Including the Mage Corps itself, and the Alliance National Mage Academy established on many planets.
In other words, they are the Alliance's psychic order.
In terms of power structure, they are directly under the leadership of Governor Gu.
Of course, they are actually still eating the Alliance's financial meal, and Gu Hang also asked the Mage Corps to cooperate with the work before leaving.
In fact, Du Shiliang's request for help from the Storm Mage Corps received a positive response.
The Mage Corps also wants to make progress, and they also have to show their own value.
This is the case when the Governor is here, and it is also the case when the Governor temporarily leaves.
With the help of a large number of psychic masters, combined with the means of the Inquisition, such a solution that has a certain ability to search for the silent veil spirit gate is relatively reliable.
In addition to clearing the veil spirit gate, it is also necessary to strictly prevent the Eldar from building a spirit gate.
The good news is that the Eldar will not directly use the subspace engine for interstellar navigation-relevant researchers believe that they are not without relevant technology, but they dare not use it, fearing that after entering the subspace, they will directly deliver to the door of the subspace evil god who is very interested in them.
Therefore, the Dark Eldar travel across galaxies. In addition to using the Comoros veil spirit gate for very convenient navigation, normal navigation also uses the astral tunnel.
Often these Dark Eldar ships that sneak over to build the veil spirit gate are relatively small in scale, and they also have very powerful ship stealth technology. Humans can only achieve technology on ships of traveler specifications, but they can achieve it on frigate level.
This means that even if interstellar outposts are built at the jump point, it is easy to miss them.
Unless many outposts are built at each jump point, and inquisitors and psychics are deployed for long-term stationing.
This is obviously impossible, too many, and the cost is too high.
But it can be done in key hub areas.
In short, after listening to Du Shiliang's entire report, Thadius was still satisfied.
He also approved the budget required by Du Shiliang. The General Logistics Department and the Navy Logistics Department will work with the government's production department to start more outpost construction and resettlement plans.
The Alliance began to formally welcome the challenge of the Dark Eldar pirates to the development of the Alliance.
The most direct manifestation can be seen from the opponent.
Xernos Bloodcurse encountered a lot of trouble.
When he came out of another curtain spirit door with his plundering fleet and found a merchant fleet of the Alliance, he dared not take action.
The escort force is relatively strong. If they take action, the loss may be relatively large, and it may be blocked by humans due to the delay.
And after this hesitation, a larger human navy fleet arrived in this galaxy ten days later.
They seemed to have noticed something. Although they did not catch the fleet of Xernos, they found the Curtain Spirit Gate and destroyed it.
This fleet of the Blood Curse Family was trapped in this galaxy in the real universe.
