Luo Zeshi accompanied Yu Lian and twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to smile, but he seemed to have captured some other information from the other party's words, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Some people's achievements are just the result of personal struggle for freedom. But some people... some people's achievements are closely related to the fate of the country, and can even determine the course of history. In your words, which one is it?
?”
"I am neither of those. Any wrong choice of words can be interpreted by you as this. What is the most suitable position for this kind of person? What do you think it is?" Yu Lian said angrily.
"Uh, secretarial department and office?"
"No, the Chief of Ceremonies! Uh...wait a minute, the Chief of Ceremonies seems to be doing the work of the emperor's secretarial department and office."
"Well, I'm really sorry." Luo Zeshi suddenly realized that he was a little too impatient, and calmly changed the topic back to normal.
"Actually, you have clearly seen through the empire's plan, and you can definitely crack it in advance. In this way, your subordinates' livers may be fairly protected."
"Wouldn't that be a shame for the empire's deliberate efforts?" Yu Lian said with a smile, "Maybe they won't even launch an attack at this time."
"Isn't this a good thing? You also said that the more prepared you are, the greater the possibility of defending."
"However, our preparations have limits. The empire does not. If we don't use our tricks to give them a big blow as much as possible, I will always be upset."
"Of course you have your reasons. However, my subordinates still believe that this is taking a risk. Although you have made detailed plans and insurance measures, it is still too risky. I still have reservations about this." Luo
Ze Shi was righteous in his words. But even so, the slight resentment flashing in his eyes could not be dissipated.
Yu Lian felt that it was rare for him to see the resentful side of classmate Luo Zeshi, and his bad taste suddenly arose spontaneously.
To be fair, if you don't find a way to keep your subordinates busy, and see them exhausted and frustrated but incompetent and furious, how can you satisfy the joy of being a leader?
"Anyway, this nightmare is finally coming to an end." Luo Zeshi let out a long breath: "Compared with worrying every day to prevent someone from seeing through our arrangement, I would rather fight with the elite of the empire.
The fleet is here to fight."
"Yes, it's finally time to see Zhen Zhang."
In short, by December 4th, all the civilians in the fortress were finally evacuated.
Even some friendly people who are particularly spirited and martial-minded and want to stay as volunteers, such as old friends from the Ice Cream Band, reporters from the Pioneer Newspaper, or local student consolation groups on Earth, etc.
, were all persuaded by Yu Lian to leave, and boarded the passenger ship back to Xinshuntian.
Before leaving, LS Ba, the leader of the Ice Vapor Band, was still a little sad. He always felt that Yu Lian was a bit too outsider: "We want to write a song for you. If you let us stay, we will be in the flames of war."
This song was born from it.”
"Then you who wrote this song were hit by a stray bullet and died, right? I have seen stories like this unfold too many times. You artists all have self-destructive tendencies, and I don't want to become such a legend.
Background board." Yu Lian said angrily: "I hope you can write songs like "The Dark Side of the Galaxy" after a while, and then become a living legend. When the old one can no longer play the guitar and sing,
I can also go on a variety show to give pointers to today’s young singers.”
"...Tsk, it's such an ugly old life, but you can try to get used to it." The old singer, who has been famous for almost 30 years, shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that Selena didn't come over, otherwise our new song would have been released long ago.
."
"She is an artist from Huanyu, so she is not that free."
"So, this is the restraint and kidnapping of art by rich men. Hahaha, aren't there always a lot of creative themes? I don't understand why some short-term artists and writers always say that they are exhausted of inspiration. Obviously
You are too full."
"Isn't that right? That's why it's called a short-term. My future children can't screw screws or farm, and I won't let them become short-term artists and writers. Absolutely not!"
At 11:16 a.m. standard time, when the passenger ship left the Said galaxy and headed towards Shinshuntian, a mighty light spot finally appeared at the gravity wellhead on the other side of the galaxy.
Immediately afterwards, the ups and downs of gravity reactions continued to stimulate the space sensors, until these alarm sounds converged into a mighty and majestic movement, just like a solemn and shocking march.
If I had known better, I wouldn't have let the veterans of Bingqiu go away. Guys like that, just by hearing this string of notes, might actually make up a string of marches in their minds. Yu Lian thought.
Of course, even if they stay as volunteers, it is impossible for them to enter the headquarters.
"What a military power..." Vice President Hierro in the headquarters couldn't help but muttered. Although his voice was inaudible, it was still captured by Yu Lian's spiritual sense.
The composition of this person is really complicated! Yu Lian thought.
Of course, this sentence alone could not prove that the vice president was suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Yu Lian could not really kill him. He exchanged looks with General Sylvester, and then looked at the seat.
Old Man Trende, who was in the corner of the back row, took one look at him and resigned to His Excellency the Vice President.
The latter naturally said sincerely again that General Yu had important matters at hand and no longer had to pay attention to this.
When Yu Lian returned to his former enemy headquarters, the chief of staff, Major General Mkawa, and the adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Rozeshi, immediately greeted him. The latter quickly informed him that the total number of enemy fleets currently entering the Said system had exceeded
600, including 3 dreadnoughts and 8 battlecruisers.
"Just these troops alone are equivalent to more than half of our total strength." Chief of Staff Mkawa said: "However, the three Titans are concentrated in the Earl I-T2 system and have not accelerated over."
"Are you planning to pay homage to the friendly troops we killed?" Yu Lian smiled.
"I just hope that they can leave as soon as they finish paying homage," Chief of Staff Mkawa said.
Yu Lian discovered for the first time that this old-fashioned official-type uncle could actually tell jokes, but unfortunately they were not funny at all.
"In addition, there was a communication from the empire just now. It was from Admiral Rosanaio on the Thor Nomen." the chief of staff added.
"Oh?" Yu Lian glanced at Luo Zeshi.
The adjutant reported: "It is a letter of persuasion to surrender, and it is sincere and sharp, and what it says makes sense. To be honest, this general is qualified to be a negotiator or something."
Yu Lian was really interested this time, so he turned on the screen and listened carefully to Admiral Rosanaio's surrender letter.
This is a general in his early sixties, with a medium build, and his temperament is not the sharp, domineering and aggressive temperament of a veteran who has experienced many battles, but can even be considered elegant.
He also speaks very nicely, and has a good command of tone and rhythm. He feels more like a gentle middle school teacher. He can preach and solve problems, and can also be a close friend to adolescent naughty children.
As for what he said, it was more of a series of emotional speeches than a letter of persuasion to surrender.
Of course, the content of the speech was not unexpected. Most of it was commonplace. It was nothing more than a courtesy, and it was still not a setting such as a title. However, this newly arrived general did not directly convey the threat of the empire, but
He started playing the emotional card from a different angle. He said that the people on Earth and the Tirero people are both human beings, so naturally they are compatriots recognized by the spirit of the universe, and they should fight under the same banner.
He also cited a series of examples of descendants of earthlings being reused in the empire to prove that earthlings would be treated equally when they arrived in the empire.
For example, the family of Gongsun, Earl of Yongdi, who is still a hereditary prince. Another example is Mr. Valpolis, the current prime minister of the empire, whose grandfather is still a native of Earth.
Having said that, these examples are still very convincing.
Finally, Admiral Rosanaio used a euphemistic and even sad tone to characterize the community's behavior. This is a rebellion and a civil war between fellow human beings.
To sum up, the meaning is very clear. Whether it is based on morality or strength, there is no point for people on earth to continue to resist.
"Haha, he is not so much an imperial general as he is a well-trained speaker. Should this statement be made public, right?" Yu Lian asked.
Luo Zeshi replied: "We use wide-area open gravitational wave communication. I estimate that more than half of the soldiers in the entire army have seen it. In another two or three weeks, everyone in the community will also see it."
"Has military morale fluctuated?"
"At least, the front line is foolproof." Chief of Staff Mkawa said. It is rare for this uncle to speak in such a confident tone. However, he has always been a rigorous and even somewhat rigid type. Since he said it is foolproof, then naturally it is
You can rest assured.
Of course, Yu Lian could also hear his subtext. The front line was secure, and even the far-shore theater could be stable. This was because there were majestic and famous generals guarding it.
However, if it is in other parts of the country, the situation is difficult to say.
It is conceivable that as the pressure on the empire on the front lines increases, today's speech will also make some ideas that have already taken root begin to sprout and expand step by step.
Indeed, if we really look at it from the perspective of strength, one side is a huge military empire that has dominated half of the universe for more than two thousand years, and the other side is an emerging country that has only been founded for more than half a century. The national power, military power and even influence
They are by no means of the same order of magnitude.
All in all, as far as external conditions are concerned, the ownership of victory and defeat has never been of any discussion value.
However, in the civilized world, results can never be determined by brute force.
As for discussing it from a moral level.
Yu Liandao: "Of course we agree that the empire will stand under the same banner as us. The commonwealth can now be changed to a federal system and accept the empire as our alliance country. Well, the alliance royal families have also been preserved, even if
You can also enjoy the ceremonial treatment of royal family members in Nephi. In this way, the honor and historical inheritance of His Majesty the Emperor and the long-standing imperial nobles can also be guaranteed. Wouldn’t it be a happy ending?”
"That's it?"
"Yes, use the same wide-area gravitational wave communication." Yu Lian smiled.
"This will greatly anger the empire." said the chief of staff.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Yu Lian shrugged and immediately began to give instructions: "Start charging the fortress cannon."
"Twelve dragon's breath accelerator cannons have been charged! Three positron cannons are being prepared." Chief of Staff Mkawa quickly began to report: "The first array of floating turrets has been activated. The hangar of Sede-3 sub-fortress has also been activated.
We are ready for ejection. Can we let the fleet leave the port and enter the combat position?"
Yu Lian paused briefly: "What's going on over there in Area F?"
"Everything is business as usual," Ross said.
Yu Lian wanted to ask more details, but he suddenly saw that on the platform directly in front of him, a female figure wearing golden light armor and holding a battle flag flashed out. It was not the female cyber ghost.
But who else could it be?
Since only she could see this guy, she successfully covered half of the window.
Yu Lian suddenly felt that everything was stable, and he smiled: "Very good, approved to dispatch. In addition, after the imperial fleet enters the fortress cannon range, there is no need to ask for instructions, and the shooting will start immediately."
On the other side, on the Titan ship Thor Normen, which was still on standby in the T2 galaxy of Count I, Admiral Rosanaio motioned to the adjutant to open the terminal and connected the communication with the Shikishen.
"Very good, Marshal, we can confirm that the Earth Army does not intend to surrender." Admiral Rosanaio said.
Marshal Ikenroga on the Four Seasons showed a depressed expression: "Surrender? Ayton, you don't really have such extravagant hopes, do you?"
"Who can become our formidable enemy and who is not an invincible hero? How can he shake his determination with words? However, as long as there is something in line with our expectations in the country of the community within the next six months
Change, today's speech will not be in vain." Admiral Rosanaio, who was more like an elegant scholar, said.
"Half a year..." Marshal Ikenluojia said quietly.
"Yes, half a year is already a conservative estimate. After our surprise attack on the High Sea failed, and we were forced into the Unity Fortress and the Blood Gate one after another, the possibility of ending the war in a short time no longer exists. Now that the Earthlings have launched
The second conquest should be more thorough and comprehensive. This will take time," the admiral said.
"A conquering faction." Marshal Ikenluojia smiled.
"Imperial soldiers are not qualified to choose which faction, we are just the emperor's eagle dogs." Admiral Rosanaio smiled: "However, when it comes to leanings, yes, I, like you, are the complete conquerors.
Even if it takes more time and greater sacrifices."
Now that the war has reached this point, there are indeed different voices among the empire's decision-makers.
One is that the war has already started anyway, so either we don’t do it, or we must do it absolutely. Everyone should mobilize a large army, even if it requires a nationwide mobilization, we must continue the war until the community is completely defeated.
Complete the conquest.
Then, even if we fight a security war for several more centuries, we must digest the community into its core territory.
This is the so-called "complete conquest faction".
The other one thinks that they should do their best to eliminate the war capabilities of the people on earth, and then force the other party to surrender. However, times have changed after all, and it is unrealistic to directly accept it as territory. Then, the so-called pro-empire should be supported
The co-prosperity faction came to power and asked the Blue Star community to follow the example of the vassal states such as Catai and Bakwe.
Of course, for the convenience of governance and to escape from possible security wars, it is not impossible to support the king's family of a few earthlings.
This is the "surrender faction".
Of course, the "pacifists" who want to end the war decently and return everything to before the war do not exist in the imperial political arena. Even if they did, they would definitely not dare to speak now.
