1984. Take the initiative

Chiss is very conservative at heart.

The fundamental reason for this conservatism is that they lack natural enemies in this three-acre land of Unknown Regions. Being able to conduct hyperspace navigation through Skywalker's 'Third Sight' allowed Chiss to establish a huge force spanning dozens of habitable planets. This can be said to be a dimensionality reduction blow for Unknown Regions, which generally lacks hyperspace navigation means.

Therefore, Chiss's real conflict lies in the conflict between families within his own territory. Now Chiss is one of the nine ruling families, but sometimes there are only three ruling families, and sometimes there are even 12. This shows how fierce the internal struggle is.

Therefore, every family is worried that once they attack with all their strength, other families will take advantage of them. There are many precedents for this.

Therefore, Chiss's military theory actually has big flaws. They do have a very complete officer training system, but it is not as powerful as imagined - Galactic Empire and Duchy of Dawn actually have such a system.

The only difference is that Galactic Empire is too large and too corrupt, and many truly capable people cannot be promoted and reused. Under the control of countless Core Worlds wealthy nobles, many talented people have no room to develop at all.

In addition, the Galactic Empire family has a big business, so even if a bunch of mediocre people control the army, they can afford to lose... Anyway, in the end, they can just rely on their strong industrial capabilities to crush the opponent to death.

The situation of Duchy of Dawn is very simple and clear. They are not corrupt and have many opportunities to show off. However, they lack the accumulation of time, so the training of officers is still not as good as that of Chiss territory.

Let's take a look at the two famous players who have raised the impression score of Chiss territory and Naval Academy. In other words, one of them is a future famous player – Sefrans-Tann, and Thrawn. Their amazing talents and brilliance were actually not tolerated by the Chiss Naval Academy. They all only blossomed after being driven out.

Sefrans-Tann had just been appointed as an admiral by Tang Xiao, and immediately led the fleet to Energy Planet Sarapin all the way to Core Worlds. Do you think her aggressive attack was taught by the Chiss Naval Academy? Definitely not!

Therefore, Admiral Ziyala of Chiss Defense Fleet, she is currently limited to this thinking mode. Not only did she believe that she should first secure the border and launch a decisive battle after finding Grysk Hegemony's main fleet, but the family within Chiss territory also strictly ordered her to do so.

She is a very good general, and she was once a classmate with Thrawn, and although the Illyz family she was in conspired to drive Thrawn out, she had a good relationship with Thrawn. But the relationship is good. After all, she is not Thrawn. She is not like Thrawn in the original plot. She saw through the essence of Grysk Hegemony at a glance and then went straight to Huanglong to win.

Grysk Hegemony hides themselves very well. They constantly create the illusion that they are a nomadic starship civilization, thus keeping themselves in an invincible position. But they lost to Thrawn in the original plot.

Now, although Lieutenant General Brent is not as talented as Thrawn, he still discovered the anomaly of Grysk Hegemony among Duchy of Dawn's countless databases.

"If they are not a starship civilization, then they themselves may be very productive. In this way, if we continue to be forced to defend within our own territory, the situation will only get worse." Lieutenant General Brent said, "We must take the initiative to find their home planet."

"But what you said is just a judgment. Although we don't know much about Grysk Hegemony, we have also conducted research for many years. There is a lot of evidence to prove that they are a starship civilization!" Admiral Qiyala said.

However, at this time, Kace-Maxwell also said, "Grysk even knows about the Star Gate. They have such intelligence capabilities. It is not difficult for you to make wrong judgments... Rather, it is doubtful that you can get so much information in front of a powerful race that can control Protoss."

"This is simply nonsense! It will take me up to a month to build a solid line of defense. After that, we can send warships to attack everywhere. Regardless of whether they are starship civilizations or not, they will be severely damaged by us." Ziyala said.

"This also means that Grysk Hegemony has another month." Maxwell said, "From the beginning of the war to now, they have been able to move freely for nearly a month without you posing any threat. Now with one more month, God knows what they can do. Can you foresee it?"

"You should know that if we send the fleet out, the ruling families in the cabinet may immediately deprive me of my command rights. Such a situation will not be allowed." Admiral Qiyala said in a deep voice.

"That's why Grysk Hegemony is harassing everywhere, even launching an attack in your capital. They want to make those fat-minded ruling families afraid. The more scared these people are, the happier Grysk is - because our powerful fleet has become a decoration." Maxwell said.

Lieutenant General Brent also said, "Your so-called solid defense line is impossible to complete. Because you will have other loopholes by then... You have no idea how far Grysk Hegemony has penetrated Chiss territory. So, the result is month after month, month after month, until Chiss territory completely collapses. And once your social system collapses, it will be really easy for Grysk who can control the mind."

"Then what are your plans?" Admiral Qiyala was also a little shaken, but she still had concerns, "Rassidan also said before that if we attack, we must be under his protection, and then all other battleships will be controlled by robots. In other words, our other fleets can only be commanded by robots?"

"That's a problem..." Lieutenant General Brent touched his chin.

"If I were you, I would have all the fleets gather together, and then attack with all the troops in any direction." Kace-Maxwell suddenly said.

"Such blind actions cannot have good results! No matter what Grysk is planning, if we act recklessly, they will have countless ways to deal a fatal blow to us!" Ziyala objected.

"If they don't act, there will never be a flaw. But as long as they start to act, there will definitely be a flaw!" Maxwell said.

At this time, a quiet voice appeared in their minds, "I think you can try it."
