Arrangement
It's important to know that if the star map of the Nair Civilization wasn't falsified, then Pot Lid Five Planet wouldn't be a barren planet, but rather a planet filled with all sorts of factories, making it the industrial zone of the Pot Lid Vastness Star.
Most incredibly, the Nair Civilization didn't require the entire human fleet to go and dock together, or that only a portion of the fleet could go.
Keep in mind that humanity has a Great Fleet of 1,200 Lake-Class Warship. If they all went to orbit the Pot Lid Five Planet, and a conflict occurred, they could easily plow the entire planet's surface from orbit.
I really don't know whether to call Nair Civilization sincere or incredibly audacious.
After a moment of silence, Yue Yuan turned to the crowd and said, "Yes, we will definitely go, but not all of us can go. I plan to leave the Residential Spaceship outside the Meteorite Belt, as well as most of the warships. As for docking at the location designated by the Nair Civilization, that can be handled by the Lyra and four hundred transport ships."
"This"
Upon hearing this, the chief of staff frowned and said, "Commander Yue, it seems a bit weak for our flagship to go alone. What if something happens to us?"
"Then let's add two more Lake-Class Warship," Yue Yuan replied.
Only two ships.
The chief of staff was about to say something more when he heard Yue Yuan's voice, "We're not going to fight a war, so why go to so many places? And you need to understand that our most important task is the Residential Spaceship Cluster. That's where all of humanity lives. As long as the Residential Spaceship Cluster is still there, even if the Lyra sinks, Human Civilization will still exist."
"But we can't send too few. We have 1,200 Lake-Class Warship. Even if we don't send the entire First Fleet, we should at least send about a hundred." The chief of staff finally said.
"What do you all think?" Seeing the chief of staff's reaction, Yue Yuan glanced at the others and then turned his gaze to the other personnel who were appearing via video.
Before anyone present could speak, Man Yuemei, appearing via video, said, "Commander Yue, I think Staff Officer Wei is right. Besides, the Nair Civilization didn't impose any requirements on the number of warships we send. If that's the case, why should we take such a risk? Residential Spaceship Cluster is important, but isn't the flagship just as important? Commander Yue, please don't take any risks."
As soon as Man Yuemei finished speaking, the others started to speak as well. Judging from their tone, more than half of them thought that more warships should be sent.
Normally, Yue Yuan would readily accept good advice, obey the majority, and follow the suggestions of the majority.
But this time he did not agree immediately. Instead, he said to everyone, "I know you are all worried, but please let me finish what I have to say first."
Seeing that everyone was watching him silently, Yue Yuan continued, "There are three reasons why I made this arrangement. First, the arrangements made by the Nair Civilization. Since the Nair Civilization has shown such sincerity, we cannot remain indifferent. My flagship, accompanied by transport ships, is going alone to show the Nair Civilization that we humans are also sincere."
"Reciprocity is key; repay injustice with justice and kindness with kindness. Since they trust us so much, we shouldn't put too much pressure on them. They'll likely be completely reassured once they see we only sent three warships."
"Second, the combat strength of the Lyra. Whether it is the strength of its armor and Magnetic Shield, or its main gun and mobility, the Lyra's overall performance is the strongest among the Lake-Class Warship, and it is also an absolute leader at the level of Level 2 Civilization. If there is any unexpected event, the Lyra will definitely not be easily sunk, and it may even have the ability to fight its way out."
The human-class Lake-Class Warship have three types of main guns: large Positron Cannon, large laser cannons, and Large Electromagnetic Railgun. The Lyra's main gun is a super-large Positron Cannon. If it weren't for the need to coordinate with the other two main guns to achieve complementary firepower, Yue Yuan wouldn't even want to bring the other two Lake-Class Warship along.
After the advent of Magnetic Shield, Positron Cannon were no longer as invincible as before, thus requiring warships equipped with two other types of main guns to cooperate.
After a pause, Yue Yuan continued to explain, "Third, the ships from Great Blaze Star. You should all remember the previous communications from the Nair Civilization. Didn't they say that another fleet was heading from the direction of Great Blaze Star? Judging from the timeline, that fleet should already be halfway there."
Although they said it was a fleet of transport ships, we should always be wary. Who knows if our last-minute change of Pot Lid Vastness Star caused some of their plans to fail, leading them to send another fleet to provide support?
Perhaps the reason the Pot Lid Vastness Star is being so polite right now is that their fleet is insufficient. They might turn hostile once the fleet from the Great Blaze Star arrives. Therefore, we need sufficient forces to remain and protect the Residential Spaceship Cluster."
At this point, Yue Yuan looked at Man Yuemei the video frame and said, "So after the Lyra and the transport ship echelon leave, you will be in charge of the Great Fleet. I don't need to go into the basic operations of widely deploying probes. If it is discovered that the fleet coming from Great Blaze Star is not a transport ship fleet but a warship fleet, then you must immediately order the Residential Spaceship Cluster to evacuate from this star system."
"No problem!" Man Yuemei replied.
Yue Yuan nodded, then turned to Staff Officer Liu and said, "Chief of Staff Officer Wei, you and your colleagues in the Command Department will be responsible for drafting the specific emergency plan, in case of unforeseen circumstances."
"I understand, Commander Yue." Staff Officer Liu saluted.
Does anyone have any further objections?
Yue Yuan looked at the person appearing in the video and everyone present. Seeing that no one had any objections, he announced, "Since no one has any objections, then let's do it this way. Now let's discuss how to reply to the Nair Civilization and how to communicate with them after we arrive at our destination."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present began to discuss the two matters.
How to reply was simple; humans have experience with this, so it didn't take long for everyone to decide on the reply.
The first thing to do is to clearly inform the Nair People on the Pot Lid Vastness Star about the number of warships of Human Civilization and the arrangements for docking.
The number of warships is something the Nair Civilization can definitely detect even if humanity doesn't say it. Since we're already on their territory, it's better to tell them proactively than to let them find an excuse to send probes. Besides, the human fleet is already not far from the Pot Lid Vastness Star, and once the human Great Fleet begins to slow down, the number of ships will be clearly visible to the Nair People.
As for the explanation regarding the docking arrangements, it was natural not to mention all the concerns Yue Yuan had raised, but rather to say that the humans had made this arrangement as a gesture of goodwill.
Before long, humanity sent its reply towards the direction of the Pot Lid Vastness Star, and at the same time, the Great Fleet began to slow down.
As the Steering Engine, 1,200 Lake-Class Warship and about 1,000 various spaceships slowly turned their tails toward the Pot Lid Vastness Star, and then bright plumes of flame shot out from the sterns of each warship.
Humanity's reply and the bright light of the fleet's tail flames, one after the other, hurtled toward the probes of the Pot Lid Vastness Star at the speed of light.
