".Thank you for your hard work. Everyone, have a good rest. We will return home within a week."
The battle came to an end and the Third Fleet began to withdraw from the war zone. Lu Ping'an, who had been on high alert, also breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, as a manager, he at least brought back the fleet entrusted to him. What Lu Ping'an was most worried about was that the Third Fleet would be destroyed here.
If the worst case scenario occurs, it means that there will be a gap in the defense line of the Third Military Region.
A flood does not need to destroy the entire dam; a single leak is enough to destroy everything. Coastal cities and even areas further back could be invaded by foreign invaders.
The East Country sent out several newly built fleets, which showed their sincerity in saving Sakurajima. However, when things became impossible, they could not throw their precious fleets into a bottomless war of attrition in this sea area.
It is also because during these days, all fleets have been focusing on search and rescue and searching, and their behavior has been relatively conservative.
After all, the fleet itself has its own responsibilities.
"After returning, the fleet will be reorganized. This ragtag army is too uncomfortable."
During the days of his return, Lu Ping'an had no time to rest. There were too many things to deal with and too many reports to write in person.
Some of them involved rescue matters, some involved the assessment of enemy high-level officials, and some even involved some contents that were not convenient to make public. Lu Ping'an wrote a lot of reports on awakening disease alone. At the same time, his superiors also asked Lu Ping'an about marine diseases.
This war has just ended, but planners have to consider the next war, or even the war that may happen in the next few years.
".After returning, the fleet will probably be disbanded."
Lu Ping'an has vaguely realized that the current Third Military Region is too "temporary" and actually no longer meets the needs of the times.
There are more than 20 warships, consisting of at least a dozen technical components. Their tactical style is too "free". It would be good if their joint operations do not interfere with each other. They can only be regarded as a collection of floating decks.
In another world line, the aircraft carrier fleets, deep-diving wolf packs, battleships and frigates all have their own strategic designs and strategic needs. Each fleet has its own strategic goals and patrol areas, rather than a bunch of forcibly assembled ships like now, whose main purpose is to carry people and goods.
Such a navy is actually no different in essence from a maritime transport fleet. The East needs time and resources to develop a navy of the new era to adapt to the needs of the times.
".Please make sure to mass-produce underwater ships and drones. The war in the new era requires more automatic machinery, especially automatic cruise weapons that can detect and strike at the same time."
Lu Ping'an thought about it and wrote some reports on future weapons.
He didn't know whether it was useful or not, but considering the development of the two world lines, it should be on the right track.
In his opinion, the biggest advantage between the Earth and foreign wars has always been the existence of Earth's technology. The civilization of this world has actually developed to a very high level, and all kinds of war machines can actually pose a serious threat to foreign creatures, especially when they are not acclimatized to the local climate and environment.
Strategic adventures are valuable, and there will always be rewards if you try your best, but in Lu Ping'an's opinion, truly leveraging the technological advantages in warfare is the current priority.
In his letter, he fully supported the actions of some bigwigs to liberate AI, electronic viruses, and mechanical spirit awakeners.
".With the current pollution of the ocean, organisms will suffer serious damage underwater, but metal organisms will not. Most parasites and viruses will not harm drones, small submarines and war machines. As long as there are enough underwater machinery, we can become the main force in the sea."
"This advantage will disappear with the passage of time. Even the most severe environment can be overcome. It is estimated that in three years at most, this ocean defense line will be breached. By then, it will still be a tit-for-tat fight."
"I personally estimate that within half a year, if there are no major changes, the foreign visitors from Sakurajima or even Australia will not start attacking our mainland. They need time to adapt to the environment. I personally suspect that they will focus on trying to change the structure of the ocean. We can weaken this transformation, but I'm afraid we can't crack it. In the end, the ocean will still become the dominant environment for these sea creatures."
"For long-term strategic advantage, I personally suggest that we resolve the issue completely within 10 years, at least to force the other side back to Australia. This is achievable, but in the first three or even five years, we should be in a strategic defensive period."
"Our biggest advantage is the speed of technological upgrading. The Octopus invaders are a mature aggressive group, which means they have not changed for hundreds or even thousands of years. They cannot understand the innovations that we short-lived species can come up with when our lives are threatened."
Lu Ping'an wrote the report patiently, focusing more on strategic predictions for the next few years.
He actually had a feeling that he would not be able to serve as the commander of this military region for long. When a short-term war turned into a long-term war, his coordination ability would not be that important. In the end, professionals would be allowed to do professional work.
Lu Ping'an himself also has his own career and organization. It is impossible for him to just stay in the military region doing organizational and signage work.
"The next two or three years will be very difficult."
Lu Ping'an, who has witnessed the future technological explosion, is quite confident in the technology on Earth, especially the use of drones and AI in warfare.
However, it takes a lot of time and practice to transform technology into finished products. The experimental products produced in the early stage will definitely break at the touch of a finger and will also attract a lot of criticism.
Lu Ping'an not only plans to write a letter of support, but will also fully support the research and development and production of war machines in the coming days. Perhaps he and his homeland can try to adapt to the times?
".Or, I can also invest a little in this area. Fang Wen is at the rule level anyway, and the rule level of a mechanical awakener is very precious."
As a businessman, Lu Ping'an smelled business opportunity again.
In fact, it's fine for Lu Ping'an to take up the military post temporarily, but if he holds on to it for a long time, it will not be good for either side, and it is unlikely that he will really sit in that position and command military affairs for a long time.
Moreover, he truly believed that the degree of technological advancement and the progress of armed reforms during these years of strategic defense were the absolute foundation of this battle.
Once it is delayed to ten years, it will probably become difficult again. The increasing number of invaders from other planes is one aspect. The local fishmen have probably reproduced for several generations and adapted to the environment. More exoticization will bring more troublesome battlefields, and completely falling into the Pacific Ocean of an alien world will become a long-term nightmare for the whole world.
"Defense lasts for three to four years, stalemate lasts for one to two years, and the overall offensive can be considered fast after five to six years."
Lu Ping'an has a long-term vision and is also one of the people who has the most confidence in the East Country.
As he had seen through the future, he naturally had to make plans and preparations for his own and his companions' future.
