The meeting concluded, and it was decided to launch the second phase of the offensive in mid-February.

After all, when a major battle begins, supplies must be secured first.

First, we need to prepare the combat supplies, right?

Zhao Chen and Lilith returned to their flagship, and the elevator slowly rose.

Zhao Chen gazed at the large number of interstellar warships waiting for repairs in the starport outside.

"Based on our current statistics."

The Chu family's fleet currently has only 20,000 interstellar warships in relatively complete condition, but most of them are elite interstellar warships of the Chu family's army, including 50 T4 Borei.

In the previous decisive battle, Chu Changhe lost half of his T4 North Wind Gods. Otherwise, he would not have been able to suppress the Royal Starfleet's main interstellar fleet while simultaneously facing the siege of several fleet groups.

They relied on the T4 Borei-class heavy starships to cover the formation.

At present, Governor Chu is trying to purchase new interstellar warships and requisition interstellar warships from the Chu River Starfield.

"But I estimate that the final number will only reach 30,000 at most," Lilith said, analyzing beside Zhao Chen.

The Chu family fleet has indeed paid a heavy price for this civil war.

Zhao Chen thought for a moment and then said, "Please pass on my message to Governor Chu later, if he is willing."

I am willing to let Beiyan Group sell him a batch of T2 Tibetan Mastiff-class medium-sized interstellar destroyers at near cost price.

"Furthermore, I can sell a batch of the more than 30,000 T2 Tibetan Mastiff-class medium-sized star destroyers captured this time at a low price to temporarily replenish their fleet."

Although this would mean Zhao Chen would earn less money, a leader needs to have a long-term vision.

Although the Falcon Legion's interstellar warships are elite and fierce, their weakness is that they are too few in number.

What if there are important star systems and starports that need to be guarded?

We can't afford to scatter our JF-17 Thunder Legion.

At this point, we need entities like the Imperial Princess Fleet and the Chu Family Fleet, which can not only help Zhao Chen consolidate his occupied territories.

Even on the battlefield, it can assist the JF-17 Legion in combat.

For example, when surrounding a large number of enemy interstellar fleets, if the Dragon Legion's interstellar warships are insufficient, these fleets can be used to provide assistance in the defense.

"Although the Imperial Princess Fleet has experienced many battles, they have all been tough ones. In addition, although it does not have T4-level interstellar warships, it is equipped with a large number of our Xiaolong series interstellar warships."

"Their fighting power is still quite formidable; so far, they have only lost less than ten thousand interstellar warships," Lilith replied.

Zhao Chen was very satisfied with the Imperial Princess Fleet's debut performance.

Let's assume that the Imperial Princess Fleet is equipped with a certain number of T3-class interstellar warships of various types, and then with a dozen or so T4-class interstellar warships.

The Imperial Princess Fleet might even surpass the Chu Family Legion Fleet, becoming the strongest fleet force in the Star Glory Empire besides the Dragon Legion!

"Find a way to replenish the spaceships lost by the Imperial Princess Fleet and ensure that the fleet is restored to a strength of 120,000 spaceships before the second phase of the offensive."

Additionally, it's appropriate to assign them some T3 interstellar warships besides the T3 Judgement-class heavy interstellar missile ship, the T3 Emperor-class heavy interstellar battleship, °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° and the T3 Phoenix-class heavy carrier starship.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he added, "Don't forget to get our princess to sign and seal this document. She owes us for it."

What needs to be paid off in the future.

Zhao Chen emphasized the pronunciation of "还".

Lilith nodded, understanding that the commander wanted to control Qin Xiaolei, and might even be preparing to turn Qin Xiaolei into a puppet so that the commander could control the Starry Empire from behind the scenes!

Thinking about these things, Lilith's eyes lit up.

In just a few years, it has grown from a small JF-17 fleet to the current JF-17 legion.

He even has the potential to take control of the entire Star Empire.

This man is really too strong.

"Have we finished compiling the statistics on our losses?" Zhao Chen asked.

Lilith immediately snapped out of her daze and replied, "In this battle, we lost a total of 570 interstellar warships, including five T4-class interstellar warships."

More than 200,000 people sacrificed their lives.

The battle cost 100 billion star coins.

One hundred billion Star Coins!

In just a few battles, Zhao Chen had spent a total of 100 billion star coins.

If this gets out, it will probably scare people to death.

This is truly a war waged with money.

Although Zhao Chen still has 100 billion in strategic resources, in order to avoid unnecessary losses and casualties, and for reasons such as fleet rest and the need for the T4 Huiguang-class interstellar warships to reset their cooling, etc.

Zhao Chen was unable to take over the central star region of Xingyao in one fell swoop and could only wait for the resources to be mined to catch up.

Then, the second wave of the offensive will be launched in mid-February.

Just think, it's only been a month.

Qin Ming shouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

"Everything is proceeding according to our plan. Our military operations should not affect resource production and starship construction within our territory."

"I must remind Annie of this. If she can't complete the production task, I'll spank her ass in eight pieces when I get back," Zhao Chen warned.

“Okay, I will remind all the production and manufacturing departments.” Lilith nodded.

"Can we replace all the interstellar warships we lost this time before mid-February?" Zhao Chen asked.

"No problem, I've already sent the relevant construction tasks to Annie."

The five hundred lost interstellar warships can definitely be replaced within twenty days.

"However, it may take some time before the Third Fleet of the JF-17 Thunder achieves its standard of 3,000 ships," Lilith replied.

To date, the JF-17 Legion comprises three fleet legions.

Only the First and Second Legions completed the standardization of three thousand interstellar warships.

The Third Legion of the JF-17 still has a shortage of interstellar warships, which is why the JF-17 Third Legion did not have 3,000 interstellar warships in the previous ambush.

"There's no need to worry about that. The princes lost more than 300,000 interstellar warships this time."

"In just one month, could Qin Ming possibly turn the world upside down?" Zhao Chen said dismissively.

If he weren't worried about suffering heavy losses, Zhao Chen could have led the Dragon Legion all the way to the Imperial Capital for a decisive battle.

He was absolutely certain he could take down the Imperial Capital Star, but his Dragon Legion would inevitably suffer heavy losses in the process.

After weighing the pros and cons, the current solution is the most reasonable.

But Zhao Chen never expected that what happened next would be completely unexpected.

Qin Ming is incapable of turning the world upside down, but there are people who want to turn Qin Ming's world upside down!
