Chapter 436 Loss
"There's no need to send everyone together. Just two fleets are sufficient. In fact, even sending two fleets seems a bit redundant, but considering security considerations, it's more appropriate to arrange for these two fleets to cooperate and launch a joint attack."
Mendeleev glanced at the people in the center of the venue who were extremely emotional and excited. He couldn't bear to see them being so blindly optimistic, so he poured a basin of cold water on them without hesitation, abruptly interrupting the excitement on their faces.
Mendeleev continued to explain to the crowd:
"We must also retain a sufficient number of fleets in the rear to carry out defensive work. During this fierce battle with the pseudo-emperor's lackeys, the galaxies we just successfully recaptured have all suffered varying degrees of damage, and the logistics department urgently needs to invest a large amount of manpower and material resources to carry out reconstruction projects.
We can't send out all our forces. Several Chaos warbands have appeared in the Jesta system this time. I suspect there are demons working in secret, so we need to remain vigilant."
Mendeleev put all the problems in front of everyone, allowing them to calm down their excitement and think carefully about the issues contained in Mendeleev's words.
Anredda's lips curled up slightly, and he laughed softly. At the same time, he cast his gaze towards the group of people who had become excited because of Mendeleev's words:
"We are naturally very clear about these situations, but the problem is which team to send to carry out the mission has become a big problem.
After all, everyone is eager to try, and everyone is eager to participate in this battle personally."
With an earnest look on his face, Medog turned to look at Gray and pleaded, "Captain Gray, please allow our Second Company to go!
In contrast, your company shoulders the important mission of guarding the rear, and it is perfect for us to handle such frontline tasks. If I personally lead the Star Marines into battle, I will definitely be able to complete the mission successfully!"
Gray stared at Medog's expectant face, and after a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "Okay, since you are so proactive and confident, I'll let your Second Company go this time!"
After getting permission, Motuo was overjoyed and immediately saluted Gray with a standard military salute, indicating that he would definitely live up to his mission.
Just as everyone was still discussing who should be sent to carry out the mission, a rapid and forceful knock on the door broke the noisy atmosphere on the bridge.
The sound was like the beat of a drum, "boom, boom, boom" sounding continuously, causing everyone to stop arguing and turn their eyes to the closed door of the bridge.
"Come in!" Mendeleev's powerful voice sounded, and he shouted loudly towards the door.
As he finished speaking, a figure flashed into the bridge. It was Wu Si, who walked in with a brisk and steady pace.
As soon as he entered the bridge, Us saluted respectfully to everyone present, and then carefully handed the document in his hand to Mendeleev.
After completing this series of actions, Us stood quietly aside, with an upright posture and focused eyes staring ahead, quietly waiting for Mendeleev's next instructions and arrangements.
Mendeleev took the document from Us and his expression became serious. He gently opened the cover of the document and began to read the contents carefully page by page.
The entire bridge fell into an eerie silence for a moment, with only the slight sound of Mendeleev occasionally flipping through papers.
Those who had just been excitedly discussing various plans now tactfully shut up and stopped talking. Mendeleev was concentrating on processing important information, and any interruption might affect the progress of the matter.
After a long while, Mendeleev finally raised his head, and his deep eyes swept over everyone present:
"The losses we suffered this time have now been fully calculated."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, as if giving everyone some time to digest the news.
Mendeleev skillfully operated the personal terminal on his wrist and quickly scanned the document in his hand.
Then, a flash of light appeared, and a massive holographic projection appeared before everyone's eyes. Densely packed with data and charts, it detailed the fleet's losses in this operation, including casualties, equipment damage, and resource depletion.
Upon seeing this, everyone gathered their minds and looked solemnly at the holographic projection in front of them, checking their own losses in this war.
Although there was no direct destruction of warships in the Star Navy, as many as ten warships still suffered considerable damage.
These damaged warships will take a lot of time to be fully repaired before they can be put back into the fierce battlefield.
The aerospace fighter unit suffered a heavy blow, with more than 300 aerospace fighters reduced to wreckage in the fierce battle.
Over 200 pilots have tragically died, and thousands more have suffered varying degrees of injuries. Some have minor injuries and can return to the skies with simple treatment. However, some are seriously injured and may require long-term recuperation or even complex surgery to recover.
The intelligent wingman unit also suffered heavy losses, with over 4,000 destroyed in the fighting. Faced with such a huge loss, it was urgently necessary to replenish the intelligent wingman unit so that the aerospace fighter unit could rejoin the battle sequence.
The navy also suffered heavy losses. More than 10,000 brave soldiers sacrificed their precious lives, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were injured to varying degrees.
All this was because the Astartes Space Marines successfully boarded the warship and engaged in a bloody and brutal close combat.
Although the first line of defense against the Astartes Space Marines was composed of battle droids, the naval crew responsible for commanding the battle droids into battle were also targeted by the Astartes Space Marines.
In comparison, the Star Marines have relatively fewer opportunities to participate in this battle, after all, this battle is mainly concentrated on the sea.
Even so, the Star Marines still paid a heavy price, with more than 600 killed and more than 3,000 injured.
Fortunately, current advanced medical technology can play a significant role. It is estimated that it will only take a few days for these wounded to recover and return to the battlefield to continue fighting.
As for the defense forces, since they were in a passive defensive posture throughout the entire battle and never launched a large-scale active attack, their casualties were almost negligible.
