In fact, this was a psychological problem. You had to withdraw the troops, but you also had to let the other party think that you had another purpose, and not to use the Terminator Bomb.
The key was that this so-called other purpose required enough motivation to make the other party fall for it.
And the motivation Lin Fan gave was …
Using the fact that both sides were traveling at sub-light speed, there was no difference in their highest speed. By retreating while fighting, they would always maintain a huge number difference with the coalition forces in order to always maintain the battle loss ratio at an extremely low level.
Not only was this motive persuasive, but it was also extremely feasible. It instantly trapped Bonifacio.
Thinking that he had seen through all the actions of the Moi Alliance, he did not hesitate to issue a "targeted" order.
A part of each wave of newly arrived battleships chased after the Moi fleet like a long snake.
Whether it was the Moi fleet or the coalition fleet, they were all moving forward at 20% of the speed of light. This was the maximum speed that the battleships could reach without the effect of time dilation.
It was precisely because of this that the coalition battleships that arrived through the ocean current would never be able to catch up with the pursuing fleet in front.
Therefore, after dozens of waves of warships, the pursuing fleet of the allied forces had become like a long snake, and those that could exchange fire with the Moyi fleet were always the warships at the head of the snake. There were less than two billion warships, and the difference in numbers between the two sides was directly maintained at an astonishing hundred times.
Under this data gap, the battleships that caught up and entered the firing phase were almost all dead meat.
However, Bonifacio was not worried about this situation at all. Everything was under his "control".
As long as he could bite the Moi fleet, he could create extremely favorable conditions for the arrival of the subsequent fleet and the surrounding hyperspace interference.
The same situation was maintained in the ten theaters for ten days. During these ten days, Bonifacio's face became more and more unpleasant.
It was not until they began to crack the hyperspace interference parameters of the Federation that the coalition forces discovered a problem.
If they had to be divided into levels, the hyperspace interference devices of advanced civilizations could be divided into five levels.
The first was a low-power version with an interference range of only 5-10 AU. The advantage was that the cost was low enough and suitable for small battlefields.
The second type was the most widely used standard type. Based on the level of technology of each civilization, its interference range was about one to three light years. This range was already suitable for most galactic wars between advanced civilizations.
The last type was an enhanced version. The cost of one of them was more than ten thousand times that of the standard version. The range of interference was also based on the level of technology of each civilization, reaching a terrifying range of dozens of light-years.
However, the problem was that this kind of enhanced hyperspace interference device was so expensive that no civilization would manufacture too many of them. They only used them as strategic jammers.
After all, after reaching Tier 9, it was not difficult to decode the parameters of an interference device.
Even if they weren't like Moirin, who had their own unique technology to crack it quickly, it definitely wouldn't take more than three days.
Therefore, when you deploy a strategic hyperspace disruptor that is 50 light-years long, it can only block the enemy for 2 or 3 days at most. There is not much significance in mass production.
However, the Alliance Army discovered that the hyperspace interference device deployed by the Moira was neither strategic nor standard, but …
The low-power version with the smallest interference range!
Moreover, the parameters set in each interference device were different.
This was ridiculous …
As mentioned before, although the battleships of advanced civilizations were equipped with hyperspace interference countermeasure devices, as long as the interference parameters of the current space were inputted, the hyperspace engine could be activated without being affected.
However, there was also a problem here. The hyperspace interference countermeasure device could only operate against a set of parameters each time it was operated. When the battleship entered another interfered area, and the interference parameters were different, the battleship would still be forced out of hyperspace. Unless the new interference parameters were cracked again, the battleship could not re-enter.
Therefore, on the vast majority of battlefields, no one would do this. After all, if you restrict the enemy, you will also restrict yourself.
However, the Moirin Alliance not only did this, but they also used a low-power version of the hyperspace interference device. Almost every 5 AU area, there was one.
In other words, the Alliance Army could not quickly disperse the fleet after cracking the hyperspace interference parameters as planned by Bonifacio.
After all, they could only advance a distance of 5 AU every two to three days. To completely disperse all the battleships …
No one knew how much time it would take to do that.
Of course, in order to achieve this step, the Moirin Alliance also went all out.
Almost in addition to the fleet, at least half of the people were involved in the production of this low-power interference device. This allowed the Moirin Alliance to obtain enough interference devices to support this battle in a few years.
It should be noted that the universe was three-dimensional and not planar. With the ocean current as the center and deployed in a spherical shape, the number of interference devices deployed would increase exponentially for every 5 AU outward extension.
Therefore, to expand the entire interference array to the one light-year range requested by Lin Fan, the number of interference devices required for each battlefield was astronomical.
This kind of deployment method was simply insane.
As for the restrictions on his fleet?
No way. Didn't they see that his fleet was retreating at sub-light speed instead of using hyperspace navigation?
One month, two months …
One year later!
Once the plan started, there was no stopping it. Even if the speed was slow, he had to grit his teeth and endure.
Looking at the battle damage reports generated every day in order to catch up with the Moirin fleet, Bonifacio could only grit his teeth and continue to send a portion of the fleets from each theater of operations to catch up with the enemy as cannon fodder.
On the other hand, the Moirin fleet was really high. They had never fought such a battle before.
Every time, they eliminated the enemy with a force difference of more than a hundred times, at a very small cost. Then, they slowed down and waited for the rear fleet of the coalition to catch up to each other. Then, they accelerated to 20% of the speed of light and continued to bully the enemy.
In this way, in a year's time, the Moirin fleet in each theater of operations had been thrown out a distance of 0.2 light-years, and in the process of retreating, they had destroyed more than a trillion fleets of the coalition. In ten theaters of operations, the coalition had lost more than a trillion warships.
Bonifacio was about to go crazy in this situation.
With the ocean current as the center, the interference array built by the Moirin with the low-power hyperspace interference device seemed to have no end, no matter which direction it was in.
In a year's time, the coalition had opened up a non-interference zone with a radius of nearly a thousand AU from the mouth of the ocean current, but they still could not completely get rid of this interference array.
Now, the number of warships gathered by the coalition in each theater of operations had reached more than five trillion, all of which were squeezed into this spherical area with a radius of 700 to 800 AU.
"Commander-in-chief Lin Fan, there are already coalition fleets in several defense zones that are about to touch the outermost area of our interference array!"
In the virtual joint combat room of the humans and the Moirin, Nina said to Lin Fan with undisguised excitement on her face.
"Well, it's time. Inform all fleets to immediately follow the plan!"
"Next … it's time to wrap it up!"
