Chapter 738: Chapter 413, Overall Warfare Chapter 738: Chapter 413, Overall Warfare Gu Hang accepted the invitation to join the war and was willing to personally lead the Alliance’s troops to participate in the war at the Eagle Horse Star Sector.
The factor concerning Yelisia certainly played a part, but it was not decisive.
The main reason was that the enemy had already reached their doorstep, and this was a battle that had to be fought.
In the past, Gu Hang had reservations about the Dragonhawk Star Domain Government’s war strategy against the Iron-Tooth Clan.
He felt that if the situation here hadn’t been resolved in decades, and had been dragged out to this day, it would eventually blow up.
However, it blew up a bit too suddenly, catching everyone off guard.
After all, not long ago, the Star Domain Government had just declared victory in the war, boasting significant gains.
But now, everything seemed on the verge of collapse.
In comparison, the current strength of the Alliance was somewhat insufficient to deal with a disaster that could threaten the entire Star Domain.
To cover the entire Dragonhawk Star Domain, he didn’t have the ability for the time being.
Regarding the current situation in the Star Domain, Gu Hang had to admit that he was deeply concerned.
But this didn’t prevent him from making the right decision.
Even though he had already decided to join the war, it wasn’t time to dispatch troops immediately.
The situation in the Eagle Horse Star Sector was difficult, but no matter how difficult, if Gu Hang rushed there in haste, there would be no good outcome.
Instead of easing the situation, he might end up sacrificing himself, leading to an even greater catastrophe.
Gu Hang recognized that fighting the Green Skin Orcs should not fan the flames; that would only cause the fire to burn more fiercely.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have enough power to quell the Iron Tooth Orcs in one fell swoop.
But precisely because of this, the Alliance had to gather strength as much as possible.
Only by clenching their fists tightly could they amass the power necessary to change the course of events.
The Alliance’s war machine had been set into motion since Gu Hang received the report about Yelisia’s situation.
The Tianma Fleet’s branch divisions within the Star Sector received orders from General Tilermungs, demanding that Du Shiliang lead all ships to the Eagle Horse Star Sector immediately.
But Gu Hang intercepted them.
Gu Hang requested that Du Shiliang and the two cruisers, as well as several other ships he was currently commanding, act in concert with the Alliance’s forces.
With the Northern Fleet annihilated, the Yunluo Fleet in disarray, and the main force of the Tianma Fleet shivering in fear, what impact on the battle could Du Shiliang have with just two cruisers?
Obviously none.
It was better to go with the Alliance’s forces than to rush there on his own.
If something happened on the way, that would be truly regrettable.
Du Shiliang hesitated over this.
Over the past few years, his cooperation with the Alliance had been fairly comfortable.
He had grown accustomed to following Gu Hang’s ‘suggestions.’ But this time, while he thought Gu Hang’s suggestion made sense, it clearly contradicted the orders from his superiors.
In the decisive moment, it was Gu Hang who managed to engage General Fufana to work on Du Shiliang’s mindset; on the other hand, after learning about Gu Hang’s intentions, Yelisia also placed full trust in him.
Yelisia’s choice to trust Gu Hang was not because he was using various excuses to conserve strength and avoid battle.
She believed he genuinely had a plan.
Therefore, she personally approached General Tilermungs to persuade him, leading to the retraction of his previous orders.
Additionally, the Alliance Navy was actively preparing for war.
Aside from the existing fleets finishing their assembly and acting in unison with Du Shiliang, the two major shipyards on Rage Owl Star and Flying Wing Star were rapidly taking stock of their current shipbuilding dock operations.
Firstly, all staff holidays were canceled, and they went to work overtime in the factory, with a corresponding increase in worker benefits and ‘overtime allowances;’ at the same time, political and ideological efforts were intensified, with the Alliance’s propaganda department fully engaged in creating an atmosphere of an impending war, proclaiming the navy’s importance and declaring this a key moment that would determine everyone’s fate.
All Alliance citizens were called upon to grit their teeth and weather the crisis.
For this, the Alliance still wasn’t satisfied.
More factory technicians were drawn into the shipyards.
Everything that could be solved with more manpower and resources was being addressed as much as possible.
Across multiple planets, all industries related to shipbuilding followed similar strategies.
Constructing naval ships wasn’t an overnight task.
The cruiser construction period at the Flying Wing Star Shipyard was four years per ship, with two docks.
The previous ship delivery cycle had just passed, and the new cruiser project had only just begun construction.

Even with various measures to accelerate construction, it would still take at least three and a half years, at the minimum, three years, to deliver the next two ships.
However, smaller ships, such as destroyers and escort ships, were nearing the end of their construction cycles.
These became the focus of accelerated efforts.
Within the shipyard, resources were allocated accordingly.
Priority was given to putting all effort into those ships that were about to be completed.
The goal was to increase the number of available ships in the shortest possible time.
According to estimates, within a month, three additional destroyers and five additional escort ships would be available, not to mention the smaller patrol ships.
Furthermore, another strategy being vigorously promoted by Gu Hang in conjunction with his mother was underway.
