Chapter 1,433: Be independent, you must have backbone
He paused again and found that no one showed any obvious opposition. Even President Nikita, an impassioned war activist, fell into deep thought while looking at his report.
Vice President Hierro was very satisfied. As soon as he closed his mouth, he saw Mr. Bai's bright and energetic eyes looking directly at him.
"Your Excellency, Vice President," Mr. Bai said.
"Uh, in..."
"Who will spread today's words? Who will stone you to death? As long as it is a normal discussion of national policy, who will escalate to personal grudges? Please don't overstep your authority." Mr. Bai said coldly: "You
It just means that if you win the battle, you can negotiate with the empire. Why not make your words clearer?"
"Yes, I'm sorry." Vice President Hierro bowed his head and apologized like a primary school student. Although he is the second in command of the country, he did not feel humiliated at all by apologizing to an old minister who was ranked at the bottom.
President Nishita felt more satisfied and quickly came out to be a good person: "Okay, gentlemen, let's talk about the next work arrangements."
You guy, you have been the "Martial Emperor" for half an hour! Mr. Bai looked at Mr. President and sighed deeply in his heart. He would really rather go to the distant Far Coast Star Territory and New China now.
The soldiers will fight together to the death. Whoever wants to be a single among these cowardly ministers can forget it.
In the subsequent meeting, Mr. Bai went into a black-faced state. Even Chairman Maxel of the National Defense Committee later pointed out that Miss Bai Ziqi had performed extraordinary feats on the front line, and considering that she was already a fourth-ring psyker, she should
When it was time to confer the rank of brigadier general, he just forced out a stiff smile to express his gratitude.
Then, it was time for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to speak.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs stated that he had received the message from the Terrabi Popular Front. In addition to congratulating the community on its victory in the Far Coast Nebula, the other party also stated that it would cooperate with the community's national defense operations when necessary.
"What is the Popular Front of Terrabi?" President Nishita showed a confused look.
"They are the largest ethnic minority in the Kingdom of Cathay. In fact, they, like the Cathay people, originated from the Sabat galaxy. However, there is a huge gap in physical strength between the two sides. Before the Age of Interstellar Discovery,
He is a lower-class citizen in the Kingdom of Cathay."
The foreign minister quickly explained the origins of the Terabi people.
"Oh, I remembered those cat-eared people." President Nishita suddenly realized.
Terabi people's tertiary service personnel, including but not limited to nannies, maids, shop assistants, counter ladies, etc., are still very popular in the three major countries of mankind.
This is probably why human beings always have strange fury controllers.
Of course, after the empire came, life for the Terrabi people became much better. Although they were expelled from the core area of the kingdom, they finally had autonomous territories with the majority of the population in the edge systems. However, their situation has also improved.
Limited, although not born a slave, he has become a born second-class citizen.
Because of this, the resistance of the Terrabi people has never stopped, but it has never been very systematic. It was not until recently that the so-called Terrabi People's Front came out of the blue, and it finally gained some momentum.
As for how to get involved with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we have to start talking about it after the Battle of Blood Gate.
In short, after the Battle of the Blood Gate, the entire Kingdom of Cathay to the border of the empire was almost flat, with no troops to defend it. Of course, the commander of the outer ring theater, General Joseph Bonaparte, would not let go of this opportunity to sweep all the way.
Compared to Yu Lian's battle of life and death on the far shore, the demonstration along the way was quite smooth and relaxed.
Although Admiral Bonaparte allocated all of his high-speed elite fleet to Yu Company, and even ten of his fourteen Yinglong-class battle cruisers, which were used as the housekeeping maneuver force, were given away; although the entire Outer Rim Fleet
At the core of the battle, there are only four independent-class Old Dreadnoughts left. But even so, in the Cathay Kingdom whose national defense power has completely disappeared, this is an invincible fleet that can destroy the country.
While Yu Lian was still marching forcefully, the outer ring fleet had already swept through all the large settlements and industrial and agricultural production areas around the Kingdom of Ketai.
Prince Charon Orang Mane Regent, who had gone to heaven, had to be knelt down in front of his father in the empire and even pawned the hair from his tail. The industrial support he finally received in exchange for it was completely reduced to smoke and dust.
While Yu Lian was still in the Lucknar T2 system and was having the most critical first battle of the Lucknar Corridor with the Empire's vanguard fleet, Admiral Bonaparte had already led his army to the capital of the Kingdom of Cathay.
Bart's galaxy.
However, this experienced general did not continue to march, nor did he choose to land and occupy, nor did he massacre and kill civilians on a large scale. He only took the trouble to ensure that the fleet would not be threatened again after carrying out necessary military strikes.
All military strongholds and important production facilities in the system were demolished.
Orbital warehouses and various civilian communication equipment and gas phase mediation equipment were not spared. Farmland, factory areas and even power generation areas on the surface of the planet were burned to the ground. There were even unscrupulous guys who went to the emerald green sea of Sabat planet.
, and lost several rounds of three-phase ammunition.
...Well, the kind with the fission reactor dismantled.
In short, except for the large-scale killing of civilians, the Outer Rim Fleet is almost as close as chopping all the earthworms upright.
After doing all this, they received the news from the far shore that the Battle of Lucknar had been won, but also the news that the Imperial Fleet was about to arrive, so they turned around and quickly returned to the outer ring.
Not long after the Outer Rim Fleet left Sabat, the main force from the other side of the empire also arrived.
Sabat, the capital of the Cathay Kingdom, and half of the land bordering the empire were directly taken over by the Prime Minister's Office.
These experienced professional bureaucrats took office under the escort of the Imperial Army. Thanks to their efforts, the Cathay Kingdom, which had been completely in turmoil, was gradually restoring order.
However, the hundreds of millions of Cathay refugees pouring into these star regions have become a responsibility that the empire must take responsibility for.
After all, the diligent and loyal Prince Charon Mane, the Prime Minister, Grand Marshal and King Photographer of the Cathay Kingdom, has died at the Blood Gate. As for the old king who is under house arrest, as well as the other successors of the Royal Mane family
The person at the top of the list did not live much longer than Prince Charon.
That happened on September 30, 833.
A neutron bomb fired from the Leshan 012 light cruiser fell from the sky, directly razing the Kaitai people's royal palace, Glory Stone Palace, and their royal city to the ground.
This was also the only direct attack the Outer Rim Fleet launched on a "civilian settlement" after it entered the Kingdom of Cathay.
It is said that the reason given by the Outer Rim Fleet was that "the other party not only refused to surrender, but also brazenly launched a shameless sneak attack on us."
Well, in an era like this, the understanding of humanity is still more pragmatic.
Launching weapons of mass destruction at the ground stronghold occupied by the enemy's leader will not be considered a large-scale massacre of civilians. At most, it will be regrettable collateral damage, and no one will feel moral pressure.
After this act of justice, the Glory Stone Palace where the Apemane royal family lived for generations was obliterated, and the inner city of the royal capital built around the palace disappeared. Not a single one of the great nobles of Cathay remained.
This was indeed an indiscriminate large-scale attack, but the death toll of nobles and royals even exceeded that of civilian slaves, but it can still be regarded as an anecdote for the ages.
Later, the most legal candidate that the empire could find to inherit the throne of Cathay was actually a young child who had not yet entered elementary school and was a cousin of the royal family.
In this way, the Orang Mane royal family, which had ruled the Kingdom of Cathay for more than three hundred years, withdrew from the stage of history.
But the problem is that a very important reason why the Orang Mane Royal Family came to power was that they were loyal, respectful and low-profile enough. They really made the Dragon Kings of the Dawn Royal Family very happy.
Now, the heads of the Orang Mane family must have the approval and blessing of the emperor in order to ascend the throne. This is also the reason why Charon Orang Mane has never been able to become the king. All the heads of the country in the past generations still have the blessings given by the empire.
The honorary title is the same as that of a duke, and his name is also entered into the Heraldry Institute. In theory, he can even receive an annuity.
Now, this family has been wiped out. This is no longer a kick in the Imperial Army's butt, it is clearly just another slap in the face of His Majesty the Emperor.
However, the imperial troops who took over the defense zone of the Kingdom of Cathay could no longer think about such trivial issues. Just having to deal with tens of billions of refugees from various places was enough to make the Imperial Prime Minister's Office very overwhelmed.
That's right, after the Outer Rim Fleet knocked out the production facilities along the way, it behaved like a natural disaster. Wouldn't ordinary citizens have to become refugees?
At this time, representatives of the Enbu and Angmansi people who were also maimed at the Blood Gate also came to the door, begging and begging the Imperial Father to make the decision for them.
This is because when the outer ring fleet was advancing with its main force, it also began to boldly divide its forces, and started the natural disaster transit process equally in the territories of these imperial vassals participating in the war.
Although the United Kingdom of Embu and the Grand Duchy of Ammans did not fall into complete incompetence like the government of the Kingdom of Cathay, they also fell into comprehensive turmoil due to the loss of a large number of armed forces.
Under this situation, the advancing route of the empire's army was full of mines. It was already difficult for them to mobilize the army to launch a full-scale attack on Nantianmen.
At least, the road to Nantianmen should be safe for the time being.
Later, Admiral Bonaparte personally led the fleet and sailed to the Leoncasan system. This is a very important hinterland military stronghold for the Cathay people. It is said that there are more than fifty warships left. However, outside
While the ring fleet was wreaking havoc in the territory of the Kingdom of Cathay, these warships were hiding in the military port and shivering.
This is actually not surprising. More than fifty warships are enough for a gangster to become a "pirate king". It is also enough to become the overlord of a party in some war-torn times, and even exceeds the entire military strength of many small countries.
.
But even so, in front of the huge outer ring fleet, what can their little Karami mean? It is understandable to save the ship and avoid the battle.
As for the country being wiped out after being avoided, it is not the responsibility of the people below.
Speaking of which, this Leonkasan galaxy is also the place where the Orang Mane King’s family flourished. Their founder, the “Taizu”, was a border warlord who started his business. Unfortunately, the glory of the past and the hope of the future have all come to nothing.
Dust and dust have returned to dust.
However, when the outer fleet arrived, they were shocked to find that the last military focus of the Cathay Kingdom had been captured by the rebel organizations, and the remaining 54 Cathay warships had also become Terrabi.
of trophies.
Speaking of which, as long as you pass through the Leonkasan galaxy, you will enter the Taful sector at the end of the cantilever of the Cathay Kingdom. This is actually the main settlement of the Terrabi people, and the uprising organization is active nearby.
General Bonaparte originally planned to contact the rebel organization of the Terrabi people, but he did not expect an unexpected surprise.
After everyone chatted and laughed, the largest rebel organization, the Terrabi Popular Front, expressed that they were very grateful for the help of their friends on Earth. It was when the Cathay Kingdom fell into emptiness that they successfully launched a surprise attack on the Leoncasan galaxy.
Now, for the first time since entering the cosmic era, the Terrabi people have a fortress, a military port, and a fleet in their hands, so they can naturally start to prepare for the establishment of a nation.
However, after the founding of the country, they had to surrender to the Galactic Empire as soon as possible. I hope that friends on Earth will not misunderstand.
The above is the entire content of the Terrabi Popular Front's contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Community.
Vice President Hierro sneered: "Oh, that's great! That's great. So, what they mean by cooperation is that after independence, they immediately surrender to our enemy country?"
"They can only do this. The Taiful sector of the Terrabi rebels does not border with us, but is not far from the empire. If you want to maintain the country, you can only choose to surrender to the empire. However, this
It does not mean that they have become enemies, we can even try to have some private cooperation in intelligence." Chairman Maxer said something fair.
"We are kind to them! If we provide them with weapons, does that mean we will provide the empire with a new vassal state? They should know who their friends are, and they should have backbone!" Vice President Hierro said
.
"Whether they are allies or not, we'd better wait until after the war and see their actions before deciding." Mr. Bai said.
Vice President Hierro said bluntly: "I heard that the newly-minted Terrabi Popular Front has some private relations with the Pioneer Party?"
"According to some tabloid news and urban legends, half of the rebel organizations that have emerged in the universe in the past two years are related to the Pioneer Party, and the other half are simply peripheral to the Pioneer Party. If this is true, we will be in the history of civilization
It is the organization with the most rigorous structure and the most complete system since then." Minister Jessica Yang covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Then, as a member of the Pioneer Party, I am ready to go to the textbook."
The vice president smiled awkwardly: "I just said it casually and let everyone speak freely."
President Nishita pretended that he did not see the slight smell of gunpowder here, and asked: "The Terrabi people said they would cooperate with our military operations. So, how will they act?"
The Minister of Foreign Affairs showed a troubled and confused expression: "After the Terrabi people established their country, their leaders would go to the sky to meet the emperor and ask for the empire's assistance. As long as their attitude is sincere enough, respectful enough, and humble enough, with the empire's
The style should not be ignored. To a certain extent, it should be able to reduce the national power of the empire."
"..."
Everyone present looked like "are you kidding me?" They were all leaders of the Blue Star Community. Although their intelligence was always doubted by frontline commanders, because of this, they could not accept insults from others.
own IQ.
After a while, President Nishita finally showed a reasonable smile: "Okay, okay, as long as the cat girl... the Terrabi people don't directly side with the empire at this time, they can be regarded as friends.
We cannot be too demanding. As long as we achieve a comprehensive victory in the war, they will make a real choice."
Having said this, Mr. President once again showed a martyr-like expression on his face: "Everyone, we have a long way to go! So, I am going to the far coast to cheer up the soldiers, and I want to personally preside over the generals in the far coast theater.
Their medal ceremony! I want to personally pin the Medal of Freedom Hero on them! Phew, if it weren’t for the fact that the Dawn Nebula in the New World was too far away, he even wanted to go to Yaochi and the Ring of Miracles to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers.
.”
There are still several months before the New Year, so there is no need to start flaunting yourself so early. Everyone can't help but complain in their hearts.
In short, judging from Mr. President's overly excited tone, it doesn't sound like he is going to the front line for inspection at all, but more like he is going to attend an idol's concert.
The Foreign Minister said: "...However, the Alliance's attitude towards military aid has always been very ambiguous. The scale of our war now has exceeded that of the War of Independence, but the military aid we received is not as good as it was then. Everyone feels that you
You should visit the alliance in person."
"Go to the Alliance?" President Nishita was slightly startled.
"Yes, this is a necessary diplomatic visit." The cabinet members nodded, especially Vice President Hierro nodded most enthusiastically.
President Nishita snorted coldly in his heart, with a look of excitement on his face, but he said distressedly: "But doesn't this make it look like I escaped to a safe place?"
"How is that possible? You are joking."
"You have proven your courage long ago!"
"Only opponents with ulterior motives would be so cunning."
Cabinet ministers all said that the president really thinks too much.
"It is our honor that we can fight against the empire under your leadership!" Vice President Hierro added.
President Nishita was very satisfied and patted the Vice President on the shoulder: "Very good, Vice President, then you can take a trip for me to Nantianmen and the far bank."
