Chapter 1657 Can we take the initiative to negotiate peace?
No wonder Teacher Yang waited until everyone had left before saying this.
After all, Yang Xiyi also has some status in the minds of the officers and soldiers of the Community because of his performance in the Unity Fortress and his year-long move to the Dawn Nebula.
The title "Puppet Master" sounds like a high-IQ anti-social pervert pleasure criminal, so naturally it cannot be spread; however, newspapers and periodicals from the community to the alliance are already using the terms "War Magician" and "Miracle Yang".
replaced his name.
However, the invincible magician is actually so pessimistic about the defense line in the far shore theater. If this word really spreads, it will no longer have to worry about the morale of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the fortress.
Even so, Yu Lian was not surprised at all. Yun Danfeng just nodded and smiled softly: "I understand."
"No, you don't understand." Yang Xiyi said firmly.
"..." Yu Lian felt that as a protagonist, the experience of being taught by others as a fool was quite wonderful. Of course, he was a magnanimous and noble person after all, so he decided not to be familiar with the other party.
After all, that was Yang Xiyi. Even if he didn't want to ridicule himself, he would definitely ridicule him in a targeted manner.
"You are just thinking that the empire can give up all plans to directly speed through the fortress, and even give up those mysterious and mysterious occult tricks. It will just build fortifications in front of you, pile up troops, and fight you with absolute strength advantage.
Is that so?" Yang Xiyi said.
"This is also the only tactic that I don't know how to crack. A layman will be misled by the imagination of the literati and always think that fighting a stupid battle is the least technical, but this is the most technical." Yu Lian did not deny it.
at this point;
"So, those famous generals and military gods who fight the battle of gods are like this. They only need to think about how to defeat more with less while moving dangerously. But there are a lot of things to think about when fighting a tough battle with a stronghold."
Yang Xiyi glanced at Yu Lian and felt that this guy was mocking her, but considering that the other party should also be mocking her, he couldn't find any evidence.
He couldn't help but smile: "Is there a possibility that in the art of war, this is actually called a stately soldier?"
Yu Lian nodded: "I know. The so-called title of "Dai Zhan" is just a way of envy and jealousy."
Yang Xiyi raised his glass to Yu Lian across the screen: "So, here's to the fight!"
"Jingdaizhan!"
Yu Lian asked himself, he was really not joking. There were indeed many things to consider in fighting a war, including combat readiness, morale, organization, dispatch, transportation, and even rear armament production, personnel training, etc., and of course, peace and security.
An office politics play involving bureaucrats from all walks of life in the military, government and business dealing with elites.
When all these various nonsense are summed up, it is really not a war, even if it is to manage the governance of a country, it is nothing more than that.
Yang Xiyi shook his head and said: "However, if this stupid war continues, the empire's losses will be greater than yours. You actually want to bet on whether the other party will break through your defense first, or whether it will be unable to bear the losses and take the initiative first.
Would you like to propose peace talks?"
Yu Lian did think so, but Teacher Yang didn't seem to agree too much, and he couldn't help but start to review himself.
He asked himself again and had to admit that if he were someone else, he would not be so serious. Sure enough, it is almost impossible to ignore all external factors and discuss the matter objectively.
"You can bet on tactics, but you can't bet on strategy. I know this truth. However, as an ordinary person like me, there is really no other way." Yu Lian showed his hands tactically.
"Of course you can gamble strategically. When it comes to war, the only truth is that there is no truth. We have little capital, so of course we can only do our best to follow destiny. Since ancient times, this has been the case for small countries to fight against big countries." He
He glanced at Yu Lian: "So, do you still expect the alliance to end up putting pressure on the empire?"
"The alliance won't be able to leave the field for a while, and their colossus will take at least another year." Yu Lian continued to show his hands tactically.
The so-called "Miss Yulian" test is just a movie scene, which is of course the top secret of the alliance. However, Yu Lian did not hide it deliberately. Feifei knew it, and of course Teacher Yang also knew it.
Of course, the Earth side doesn't know, it must be because Yu Lian forgot to explain, anyway, the Gongun princes didn't ask.
...As for the empire, they have probably already guessed it.
Yu Lian added: "However, this has little to do with Colossus. The biggest problem is that after the incident on Gem Coast, the internal situation of the alliance has become unstable. Even if it does not evolve into a large-scale civil war, it probably will not
Easier than the Empire."
"Yes. The empire treats aliens as cannon fodder. It is harder for non-humans in the Alliance to become citizens than it is for people at the bottom to go to college. The empire has slaves, and the average life span of bonded workers in the alliance's sweatshops is shorter than that of slaves. How many people in the empire have "
As the rebels of the "Original Theory", the alliance will definitely have more separatist organizations rise, and they will also use you and Mr. Qi's "Original Theory" as a blueprint." Yang Xiyi's smile was malicious:
"So, do you think you're shooting yourself in the foot with a stone?"
Yu Lian is still showing his hands tactically: "I try to tell myself that this is a good thing for the universe."
Yang Xiyi pointed at Yu Lian, his expression and tone were very sharp: "But, you are alone and helpless, and you are still a rootless tree."
"this……"
"Once Fortress Seide is lost, you will prepare to retreat to Xin Shuntian, then retreat to Nan Tianmen, and at the same time use Xin Shenzhou as a base to harass the enemy's rear, right?" Yang Xiyi said.
"That's what the war of resistance is like. It's impossible to pin all your hopes on one fortress. Only by resisting steadily and lengthening the front can you have a chance of victory," Yu Liandao said.
"Xin Shuntian, Rumina, and even the entire Yuan Bank, are you ready to give up?"
"Not only that, but there are actually new continents and even Nantianmen." Yu Lian explained seriously: "However, this is not giving up. For all the occupied territories, the community is indeed a small country compared to the empire, but it still has some strategic depth.
of."
Speaking of this, Yu Lian suddenly felt that the sense of déjà vu of this war was getting stronger and stronger, but he couldn't think of it for a while.
"But, since it is gambling, the test is not skill, but luck..." Yang Xiyi first put his hands together and said Amitabha, then pointed to his heart: "And, willpower."
Yu Lian must agree. In a casino without a dealer, there are countless examples of cowardly rookies with good cards being frightened into surrender by experts with bad cards.
"I think I am determined." Yu Lian is still very confident in this point.
"The key is, is it your will that has the final say?"
Yu Lian couldn't help but remained silent for nearly half a minute. It was hard to imagine that this was what Teacher Yang, a firm believer in democratic republicanism, could say: "...Teacher Yang, do you know what you are talking about? You are trying to kill me.
ah!"
"Are you really not even pretending anymore? You can pick up such a typical line so quickly." Yang Xiyi sighed: "I mean, it depends on the will of the people. And many times, the will of the people
It’s the Gongun princes of the Earth who have the final say.”
"You mean that the empire can directly threaten the earth? But, this..." Yu Lian was slightly startled.
"Yes, we are directly bordering the empire. In addition to Nantianmen, it is the far bank. The Kaitai Kingdom opposite Nantianmen was crippled by you, and it is still supporting the Terrabi people to build a country. It has lacked maintenance for three to five years.
A prerequisite for a large fleet operation. The threat comes from the direction of the New World, but at present Marshal Bonaparte's fleet can still deal with it."
After all, the Gibraltar Fortress at the Nantian Gate is thicker than the armor, and the large fleet has to set up a long snake formation to pass through the Star Gate, so it is easy for the defenders to focus their fire.
Yang Xiyi said: "But, does this make it invulnerable? Do the enemies of the earth really only come from this direction?"
"...How about you open the skylight and speak frankly?" Yu Liandao said.
"Haha, I'm not the chief of general staff, not even the commander of the New World Theater. Worrying about it for this reason already violates the principle of low-carbon and environmental protection."
Indeed, after Admiral Picard died in battle, the position of commander of the New World theater went to Admiral Carter. Although the generous elder who had been engaged in logistics work all his life had not been exposed to war since the war began.
"If you really want to make an appointment, I can write you one now." Yu Liandao.
"..."
"I'm just kidding. I just think this line is very touching. I wanted to say it once a long time ago."
"I remember someone said that an awkward sense of humor is actually a standard feature of those in power. I am stating a fact without intending to be sarcastic." Yang Xiyi said naturally: "So, what you need to consider now is what to do if the fortress is lost.
?”
Yu Lian smiled bitterly: "So you just oppose my retreat."
"It is enough to leave the job of retreating to Marshal Bonaparte and Admiral Sylvester. The sharpest sword does not touch the vital point, but has to touch the thickest armor. How foolish is it?"
He was probably boasting that he was the sharpest sword, but Yu Lian had no time to be complacent. He raised his hand and said sincerely: "Please teach me, sir."
Yang Xiyi felt that he had heard this kind of line somewhere, so he responded with a conscious response: "I don't know either."
"Hello!"
"I'm not a fairy. I've never been to the far shore! Being able to know the world without leaving home, feather fans and turbans, and oars and oars being wiped out in ashes while talking and laughing are all just the imagination of literati. Only the hard work and painstaking efforts are real.
In a war, if there is no investigation, there is no right to speak. This is the right argument. If I talk nonsense through a star gate, it will be ridiculous." Yang Xiyi also spread his hands tactically.
However, as Yu Lianyi's reliable comrade-in-arms, Teacher Yang is a decent person after all, so he added: "I just think you need to grasp the key points."
"The point?"
"Your focus is not to keep the empire out of the country, but to find ways to expand its losses and force it to come to the negotiating table. And the losses come from many aspects, not just the loss of ships and personnel. In this regard, we have consumed
But the Dragon Kings of the empire." Yang Xiyi said.
"...So it turns out that this is how the empire becomes war-weary."
"A very appropriate metaphor." Yang Xiyi smiled and then said seriously:
"I will try my best to look after the situation in the New World for you and try to ease your pressure. However, you can only rely on yourself for local matters. Yu Lian, no matter what you want to do, the people need someone
A hero who saves the country. Only after you have saved the country thousands of miles away can you be qualified to paint in the country."
"I understand." Yu Lian nodded slightly.
"...However, you guys actually have a choice. As long as you can't forgive that girl Fina, you will have the opportunity to paint in a bigger country, right?" Yang Xiyi looked Yu Lian up and down again, and began to wonder.
: "Hi, what an enviable guy."
Of course Yu Lian understood what the other party meant, but he just said calmly and naturally: "I have done this painting before."
"ha?"
"The so-called rise and fall of the Spring and Autumn Period is nothing more than not treating people as human beings. Once you get used to it, that's the same thing." Yu Lianyun was calm and gentle, as if he had seen through the world's floating clouds and could shatter the void at any time to achieve positive results.
Yang Xiyi looked at the other person carefully and determined that this person was not crazy, so it could only be a matter of occultism. He really didn't understand this aspect.
"What you psykers do is so pretentious!"
"Yes, it is not only hypocritical, but also empty. In the end, isn't it the efforts and choices of mortals that determine the pattern of the universe? But after all, I am working hard with them, so please be sure not to expel me." Yu Lian
After pondering for a moment, he smiled a little more expectantly: "I hope we can all survive until the end of the war. I actually also want to entertain everyone to visit my hometown. There is no shortage of fine wine, food, beautiful scenery and beauties.
"
"As long as you don't fool me with hot pot." Yang Xiyi also smiled: "Of course, I am really looking forward to Guyan Liubi and Qingcheng Diecui, and I have long wanted to take Jessica and the girls there.
.I hope it can be done after the war."
"...Tsk, that's really unlucky. We are really arrogant and arrogant, with no sense of awe!"
"It is indeed very unlucky. However, whether it is a bad omen or death, if you are afraid, it will come to your door."
"What if I'm not afraid? Then I won't come?"
"Of course, what is supposed to come will come, but in this way, even if you die, you will be dignified. Teacher, I still hope to dress properly before I die. Even if it is pretentious, I must act like a gentleman.
.”
Tsk, you are obviously a magician, but you always have to add a personality to yourself. In terms of pretentiousness, we psychics are far worse than you.
Of course, this is indeed Yang Xiyi's style.
In fact, both of them guessed that the next time they met, the war would be over or they would be in the underworld. However, they were not pretentious people, and there was no time for pretentiousness. The communication ended naturally.
Yu Lian sat there for half a minute, thinking silently, and then opened the star map.
His gaze followed Sai De Fortress all the way down to Xin Shuntian, the mountain and sea channel, and finally stopped at Nantian Gate.
His eyes stayed on the Gibraltar galaxy where the Nantianmen is located for a while, then looked at the Great Sea area on the "left", and then scanned the earth again.
"Haha~~ Aren't I the one who has the final say?" He sneered, and for the first time he felt something burning in his heart.
…
"I just want to know, can we still have the final say in this war?" President Keith Nichta glanced at the ministers in the conference room, his attitude was a bit stiff.
His question was a bit abstract, and even Chairman Maxer didn't know how to answer it for a while.
Of course, since that dangerous alliance visit was terminated and President Nishita returned to Earth, although it seems normal, the abstract situation has occurred several times, and everyone has almost gotten used to it.
Chairman Maxell tried to organize his words: "Your Excellency, at least for now, we have not lost the initiative in this war."
The president raised his eyebrows slightly. He probably didn't like this ambiguous answer, but he still said: "So, in this case, should we take the initiative to propose peace talks to the empire?"
