The senior officials of the New Federation looked at the 'tail lights' of the empire's super-large fleet on the projection screen in the conference room, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Just half an hour ago, the insect swarm appeared for the second time and destroyed a Class B administrative star of the New Federation.
The so-called destruction here actually only destroyed humans on the surface. The insect swarm did not harm the planet itself, but only extinguished the fire of human civilization on the planet.
Open the New Federation's full-scale map sandbox and connect the two New Federation administrative stars that were destroyed successively into a straight line. The star system on the straight line...,
There is the star system where Mingte City is located!
The New Federation fleet, which had just experienced the baptism of fire from the Empire, had no choice but to enter the highest level of combat readiness again.
Now there is a problem before the new federal government.
Should their fleet take the initiative?
The insect swarm is not an imperial fleet. The latter did not harass the New Federation administrative star and went straight to Minter City, indicating that it wanted to start a big battle with the New Federation. However, wherever the insect swarm passed, they found planets inhabited by human civilization.
It will be destroyed directly. Of course, the sooner the insect swarm is eliminated, the lower their losses will be.
The new federal government is also in trouble.
This swarm cannot be detected by conventional equipment.
The queen of the insect swarm frightened the New Federation, which could not possess a movable stellar cannon.
To make matters worse, the new federal government has begun to call on the empire to help them fight against the insect plague from the standpoint of all human civilization, but the empire has not given a clear official position.
It is unrealistic to expect the Empire to lose ships and people to help the New Federation fight bugs.
But the New Federation did not expect that just a second before they were about to resort to moral kidnapping and public opinion kidnapping to drag the Empire into the water to fight against the insect plague, the Empire's Armada would run away without even paying attention to war compensation negotiations!
The withdrawal was extremely decisive, without any sloppiness.
"Comfortable."
In the Stinger ship, Yang Luo was sitting on the sofa, shaking a bottle of juice in his hand, constantly teasing his taste buds with the sweet and sour taste.
He was previously worried that the empire would really send him, the insect-killing nemesis, to go through the motions in the New Federation.
Then he will probably face the dual threats from the New Federation and the Great Queen.
Unexpectedly, after they returned to the Stinger Ship, the Stinger Ship was quickly ordered to set off and return. Even the Stinger Ship and the transport ship where Gris was at the moment were the first batch of hulls to jump.
Transforming people also costs money. They are all precious combat forces of the empire.
The communicator in Catherine's hand opened a small projection screen, and she was looking at the picture on the projection screen worriedly.
"Hanton," she turned around and asked, "Is this really okay?"
Yang Luo was a little confused: "What's wrong?"
"I'm talking about the insect plague in the New Federation," Catherine said, "This is also human civilization."
"This is so stupid," Yang Luo coughed, "Of course, we cannot deny the existence of such things as justice. Humanity in the galaxy is a community. The only difference is that everyone has different political systems. But my dear, this matter itself is caused by the New Federation.
of."
"Why?" Catherine was a little confused.
"It is the New Federation that is trying to control the insect plague and destroy the Empire, rather than the Empire controlling the insect plague that is destroying the New Federation," Yang Zhengse said. "The New Federation has now suffered a backlash because the Empire has withstood the pressure from the Queen.
If the Queen broke into the Emperor Star Circle last time, it would have been a disaster."
Catherine asked: "But if, I mean if, the fleets of the Empire and the New Federation join forces, wouldn't they be able to defeat this queen reliably?"
Yang Luo asked back: "Can you ensure that the New Federation will not sell Minter City and bury the empire's invincible fleet with insect swarms?"
"this·"
"No matter what angle you consider, it is impossible for the Empire to fight this battle in the core area of the New Federation, unless the old heads of the Imperial Military Department are kicked by donkeys."
Catherine sighed softly and closed the communicator.
"Okay, come here."
Yang Luo stretched out his arms, and Catherine leaned over gently and lay in Yang Luo's arms.
Yang Luo gently stroked her back and said warmly:
"It is normal for us to have different positions on this matter. There are also two different voices within the empire. In the final analysis, we have different degrees of idealism."
"However, our duty is to obey orders from above."
"Since the empire has decided to withdraw its troops quickly, we only need to follow the order."
"Well," Catherine closed her eyes, her eyebrows gradually became soft and pleasant, and her breathing soon became even.
Yang Luo hugged her quietly, looking at the starry sky passing quickly outside the porthole. His thoughts seemed to have drifted out of the current dimension of the universe, thinking about some vague, boundless but interesting things.
He also didn't expect that the Empire's expedition to the New Federation would end in a hurry due to the disruption caused by the Zerg.
The empire naturally won a great victory. Although millions of soldiers were sacrificed and nearly two thousand warships of various types were lost, this did not damage the vitality of the powerful empire.
The New Federation's combatant damage was six to seven times that of the Empire. The major fleets suffered heavy losses. One of the three comprehensive firepower fortresses guarding Mingte City was damaged and two were destroyed.
The New Federation's warship technology, which had been touting itself as advanced before, was also torn off its fig leaf by this war.
More importantly, this battle directly destroyed the unstoppable momentum of the New Federation, allowing the two to three hundred human countries in the galaxy to once again intuitively feel the power of the Imperial Fleet.
The empire's war machine has not been fully activated. This is also a "surprise revenge" that spans two months, rather than an ongoing war to destroy the country.
In fact, Yang Luo also knew about the sexy operations being carried out by the Imperial Military Department.
Before the Imperial fleet began to retreat, Lieutenant General Thomas called to inquire and asked Yang Luo if he could find some small insect swarms. The number of insect swarms did not need to be too large, as long as they were interesting.
Yang Luo is not a female insect, so of course it is impossible to temporarily create a small swarm of insects.
But he immediately understood what the empire meant. This was what the empire wanted.
Ding ding!
Yang Luo and Catherine's communicators popped up a message at the same time. It was the empire's official announcement of an insect infestation warning for the entire army.
The general content is:
[The empire is about to be attacked by a wave of insects, so all ships on the expedition to the New Federation have to withdraw back to the country at high speed for defense.
The Imperial Army had already achieved brilliant results in the New Federation, but now, they had to give up the war compensation they were about to receive, return millions of prisoners and large fortresses to the New Federation unconditionally, and wish the New Federation a successful fight against the insect plague.
.
Human civilization in the galaxy is closely related. For their wolfish ambitions, the far-right political parties of the New Federation allowed the insect plague to come early, contrary to the laws of nature, and eventually suffered the backlash of the insect plague.
The Empire will pay close attention to the insect infestation situation within the New Federation, and after solving the domestic insect infestation and ensuring the complete safety of the environment for the citizens of the Empire, it will carry out rescue operations to varying degrees in the New Federation.]
This announcement can be said to be very 'imperial'.
Yang Luo turned off the communicator, looked down at Catherine, who was asleep, and carefully placed her on the sofa.
He went to the desk in the captain's lounge, opened the communication with Lu, and started a text chat.
Valkyrie has now withdrawn from the territory of the New Federation.
Because of the forced jump, they lost the main engine of a transport ship, but this loss was hardly worth mentioning to the wealthy Boss Yang.
Law: 'Boss, do we want to make a summary? This time the Empire defeated the New Federation, we made a lot of money in every sense.'
Yang Luo smiled: "I don't feel anything at all. I just met the old emperor of the empire and got some benefits from the military department and the Council of Elders."
Law: Boss, what kind of benefits do you think is a big gain?’
Yang Luo thought about it carefully: 'Give me the title of hereditary Grand Duke and the rank of General of the Military Department, so I can just do it.'
'Bah! Boss, wake up, space navigation is not suitable for dreaming.'
Law retracted a message.
'The future of the boss is extremely bright. It is truly a blessing in my life for me to be able to serve my boss!'
Yang Luo sent an eye-rolling emoticon.
'By the way, boss, is that fortress really going back?'
'Well, but the New Federation will soon get some good news and some bad news.'
'The good news is?'
‘They will find that the weapons system and defense system of this fortress are almost intact and can be used.
'What's the bad news?'
'Lieutenant General Thomas and the others have done some tricks inside and sprinkled a lot of metal softener. As long as it experiences one or two fierce battles, the fortress will lose its combat effectiveness and will either undergo major renovations or be abandoned directly.'
law:
'The empire is so cruel.'
'Otherwise it can last for tens of thousands of years? Stop chatting, find a small and wealthy country, and send little Posuo there to settle down first. I will go there when I have time. In addition, Dark Star must be completely physically isolated from the external network.
, you should also learn more from this senior and get yourself more supercomputing arrays.'
Lu posted a sighing emoticon: 'Super computers are very expensive.'
"No matter how expensive it is, it must be done. It is best if Dark Star itself has this technology."
'clear!'
Yang Luo clicked out of the dialog box, turned to look at Catherine, then relaxed his body, leaned back on the chair, and suddenly thought of another question.
Catherine's total life span was only more than forty years.
Half a month later.
On Yaha Star in the Emperor Star Circle, near the training base for super-modifiers, in the living room of a villa near a lake and a mountain.
Yang Luo was sitting on the sofa wearing big underpants. The robot maid beside him brought freshly squeezed juice. The big projection screen in front of him was playing the latest big news.
After paying the price of losing six administrative stars and seven billion people, the Zerg that secretly sailed within the territory of the New Federation finally left the territory of the New Federation and returned to the edge of the galaxy.
The New Federation announced that the insect tide has retreated, requested support from the entire galaxy, and encouraged the people to carry out post-disaster reconstruction work.
Peace has returned to the empire, but because the New Federation has been fighting against the swarm, the empire has held back on holding no grand events.
Therefore, after reading the news about the New Federation announcing the retreat of the insect tide, Yang turned down the page and found the news released by the official channel of Emperor Star.
In order to celebrate the Empire's great victory in fighting against the insect plague and counterattacking the New Federation, the entire Empire will start a week-long celebration. Workers and students from all walks of life will have a week-long holiday. Various local governments will receive various amounts of funds from the Emperor Star.
Activity fees etc.
Although half a month has passed, the festive atmosphere cannot drop.
Yang Luo scrolled down a few news items, all showing scenes of victory parades celebrating victory across the empire.
Of course, when the whole country is rejoicing, there will also be some harsh noises.
Arguments such as "The cold-blooded empire refuses to save people", "The anti-human rights nature of the empire", "There is no difference between the empire and the New Federation" appear frequently on the Internet.
According to the gossip Yang Luo got, the Military Intelligence Agency is going crazy arresting people now.
After all these twists and turns, the empire's rule seems to be more consolidated.
Ding ding!
A call invitation pops up from the communicator in the hand of the robot maid.
It was Lieutenant Colonel Artero from the Military Intelligence Bureau. Since Yang Luo returned to Yaha, this lieutenant colonel had called him every now and then. While greeting Yang Luo, he would also bring some interesting news that was not open to the public.
Yang Luo signaled the maid to get through, and a bust of Atero appeared in front of Yang Luo, still wearing a military uniform.
"Lieutenant Colonel Hanton! Congratulations!"
Artero said excitedly:
"I just received news that the military has signed a formal document. They withstood the pressure from the Presbytery and promoted your military rank to lieutenant colonel!"
"The youngest lieutenant colonel in the empire!"
"And this is the first of its kind. In the future, you only need to make contributions to the empire, fight against the Zerg, and fight against the New Federation. Your military rank can continue to rise, and you will hopefully become a general of the empire! Oh! This is simply the best for heroes.
of commendation.”
Yang Luo nodded with a smile and almost laughed out loud.
Just an hour ago, Director Reva also sent him a call, saying similar things during the call.
'The Council of Elders has signed an executive order. We have withstood the pressure from the military and upgraded your title to Imperial Viscount.'
Yang Luo:6.
"Thank you," Yang Luo said warmly, "please take good care of me in the future."
"You are making a fool of yourself when you say this," Artero said with a smile, "You are in Yaha Star, right? I am going there to perform official duties, and I just have a few invitations to banquets, if you don't mind.
, you can choose a banquet from them, let’s meet, I’ve prepared some specialties from my hometown for you.”
Yang Luo cleared his throat: "There's no need for specialties. I'm very dedicated when I'm in love."
Artero smiled and asked: "Then you agreed to come?"
"I'll try my best to watch the time. If I have time, I will definitely go there," Yang Luo said with a smile, "I also want to get in touch with the aristocratic circle of the empire. If I want to gain a foothold in this circle, I have to be gregarious."
"This is great! I will send you the banquet list right away. Today is a lucky day for the nobles and officials of Yaha Star."
Yang Luo smiled and shook his head.
At the top of the stairs, Catherine, who was wearing a silk nightgown, looked over. She had just freshened up and put on Yang Luo's favorite delicate makeup.
Whenever this happens, Yang Luo knows that he has to show off his majesty as a man.
He muttered some perfunctory words to Atero, then jumped in front of Catherine with a quick stride. At the latter's soft cry, he picked her up and went to the indoor swimming pool with a laugh.
They had purposely asked for leave to go out and enjoy the world of two people in this villa.
at the same time.
Outside Yaha, a satellite adjusted the focus of its instrument and transmitted the blurry image in the villa to the core of the empire's territory.
Deep in the Emperor Star, in the core area of the empire's national defense system module, the black box has been closed again, and the girl is curled up quietly in the black box.
This body that is between virtual and real does not seem to be completely asleep, and its eyelashes are blinking slightly.
'Human love.'
She murmured, seemingly caught in some kind of confusion, which turned into a sigh after a long time, and the sigh disappeared into the near-infinite darkness outside the black box.
Galaxy's edge.
The huge queen figure slowly disintegrated, and under the control of dozens of pseudo-mother bugs, the insects flew in groups to dozens of star systems in this airspace.
The queen's true identity was revealed. She turned her head and stared in the direction of the Milky Way, her eyes filled with thought.
If she were to use language that humans can understand to describe the information that her nervous system is processing at this moment, it would probably cause the most powerful computer in the world to crash.
Light gray light and shadow appeared around the queen, and her huge body gradually disappeared.
