Until the day when Yu Lian traveled back, the situation in the entire galaxy became increasingly turbulent, with the two camps at war with each other. The natural disasters of the insect swarm and the galaxy-level disasters that came to the Void Realm did not allow all countries to truly embark on the path of unity and common prosperity.
, on the contrary, the country's wartime mobilization system has been fully tested.
Looking at it, a full-scale war that will far exceed any previous galactic war is about to begin.
At that time, the two overlords who were engaged in a crazy arms race had already installed a large number of Colossus weapons, but they still focused more resources on the decisive battleships headed by the Titan ship.
In that era, the most important factor in measuring a company's strength was still the number of Titan ships.
There is no way, in that other world line, the brilliant achievements achieved by the Titan ship are still dazzling, even more dazzling than now. Whether it is slaying the virtual monsters that have descended on the world, or hunting down the ancient giants that have awakened from the corners of the galaxy.
Everything is inseparable from their power. Even in the face of the insect swarm that plunged half of the galaxy into natural disasters, the Leviathan giant insect fleet used for space operations, faced with the steel fortress composed of Titan ships, was
They can only be turned into stumps and broken arms, falling into the sea of fire of the star one by one, and being completely wiped out from the cellular level.
The data given by General Griffith is correct. Even in the era when Yu Lian returned, far more Titan ships were lost to gangs than were sunk in artillery battles.
If you think about it carefully, the Titans that the swarm killed were only able to barely succeed by smuggling the protozoa onto the ship in advance and creating a live-action version of "Alien" on the ship with several times the scenes.
.
Even Titans cannot hunt Titans. This civilization's ultimate war weapon will only die internally. This has almost become a truth recognized by everyone. Therefore, those who can defeat the Titan ship can only join the gang.
But, is this really the case?
It was still the last battle of the volunteers, the beheading of Empress Brunhilt.
Teacher Yang and Wayne launched a fierce attack on all fronts. They used the last fleet of the volunteers as bait to divert the main fleet of the empire, and finally found an opportunity for everyone to behead and defeat the attack.
Almost all the elite psychic warriors and heraldry machines that could be found in the Volunteer Army were gathered together, and a total of five hundred warriors were gathered. Mr. Tantai Jing invited the ship master from the Black (Meow) Road and personally supervised
The built assault landing ship was everyone's means of transportation. It unfolded its light wings, passed through the firepower network of the Imperial Guards Fleet, and directly crashed into the Angel of Dawn, which was already the Queen's ship at the time.
Then, there is the offensive and defensive battle in which almost every step forward requires a blood price.
Yu Lian only remembered that after everyone sacrificed two-thirds of their comrades, they were still blocked at the bridge gate by the swarming astral knights.
The two seniors from the spiritual seminar who led everyone forward burned their souls and turned into golden fire phoenixes that rushed towards the main gate, trying to open the final way forward for everyone.
The attack before their decisive battle killed or maimed two digits of the Astral Knights on the spot. However, at the last step of breaking through the main entrance, they were finally intercepted by Countess Giafel, the "Scarlet Comet" who had already entered her prime.
.
Yu Lian’s last memory is really not very decent.
His position was very close to the two seniors, and he witnessed the heroic appearance of the "Scarlet Comet" at close range. That was not a comet, it was clearly the legendary Wall of Sighs! Then, he was shocked by the high-energy force and fainted on the spot.
.
When he woke up, he found himself lying in a military hospital on Earth.
The comrades who were also recovering in the hospital told Yu Lian that their beheading operation ultimately failed, but Empress Brunhilt was moved by the fearless bravery and sacrifice of the volunteers, and released everyone on the spot and allowed them to restrain their comrades.
The body can even be taken away with weapons.
Queen Brunhilt then stated that she would grant freedom to the people of Earth. The Terra sector, including the solar system, would be allowed to establish a country again to retain an independent country belonging to the people of Earth.
"This is what you all deserve for your hard work." On the Angel of Dawn, the Queen looked at the remains of the Earthlings' warriors, sighed with compassion, and then conveyed her kindness and generosity condescendingly.
"We...this is considered a victory, right? So, take good care of your injuries. You are still young and can still live a good life in the future." The slightly older comrade showed a stiff smile to Yu Lian, looking older than
Even if you cry, you still have an ugly smile.
Victory? If one day, a powerful foreign invader completely destroys the Celestial Empire, but agrees to release the eighteen provinces of Han and allow them to be "independent". Will the Chinese accept such a "victory"? If a generation of earth
The best young people among the people shed their blood, and what they got in exchange was just a nominally independent country whose economy, politics, military and even ideology were once again controlled by foreign enemies. Can you dare to call it a victory?
However, most people on earth really accept this.
Even many of his comrades who fought alongside him in the Volunteer Army were impressed by the Queen's heart and were willing to serve her. As a result, in the era of Queen Brunhilt, the Astral Knights absorbed the last essence of the Volunteer Army.
, even more powerful than the era of Emperor Elithel...
Yu Lian retracted his thoughts on another historical line and looked at Senior Brother Tantai Jing who was still paying attention to the war situation - the two Lingyans who had ignited the fire of their souls and fought for the future of the earth with their last breath.
The "seniors" in the meeting are all his true disciples, and one of them is his only son. The child has been born and is less than ten years old now.
No matter what, this is not the future I want!
...However, it can also be seen from that battle. The gang-hopping battle against the Titan ship is actually not as effective as imagined. In the end, it is just a matter of who has more people and whose morale is higher. To put it bluntly,
No matter who is more powerful, it’s just a millstone of flesh and blood.
This is like two martial arts masters. In the end, the fight turned into a battle of internal strength. It was too unskilled.
What's more, which country in the world can really compete with an opponent of the size of the Imperial Alliance for its "internal strength"?
The reason why I, Yu Lian, am keen on joining gangs is just based on the heroic feelings I had in my previous life. But if there is any other way, do you think I really want to rush into other people's battleships and fight with them? This is the age of the universe.
, can you please stop being so anti-civilized?
"It seems that you don't agree with my opinion." General Griffith looked at Yu Lian who closed his eyes and said nothing.
"No, I'm not against it. I'm just a little annoyed." Yu Lian pondered for a moment: "As you said, so far, the only effective way to deal with the Titan ship is to join the gang. But, if
In terms of the combat effectiveness of the Stormtroopers and Astral Knights on the ship, the Empire still ranks first in the universe. The advantage is even more obvious than their Titan ship."
Everyone fell into a short silence.
After a while, Tantai Jing just smiled helplessly and said: "If anyone else said this, it would be a bit like destroying his prestige. If the supporters of the National Alternative Party heard this, they might give you
Call me a football rapist."
"There are no children with bipolar disorder here." Yu Lian shrugged: "Besides, I have almost become their totem now, and I will say the same thing in front of them."
The Alternative for Nationality is now the third largest party in the parliament of the community, and it is also a right-wing party full of nationalism. Of course, except for idiots who have been fooled by neoliberalism, no one thinks that nationalism is a derogatory term. However, if
Nationalism is accompanied by blind action, stubbornness, incitement to populism and rejection of dissidents, which is very troublesome.
Of course, after Yu Lian defeated the God of War Festival and won the "God's Chosen Champion", he has become a totem of nationalists, and for a while there is no need to worry about populism coming to his head.
It is precisely because Yu Lian has dealt with representatives of several generations of astral knights that he knows very well what kind of background this psychic warfare organization has established since the founding of the Galactic Empire.
Yu Lian added: "In short, even if we want to jump into gangs, we must take into account the opponent's military strength, equipment and tactical reserves in gang-hopping warfare, as well as the obvious advantages in extraordinary combat power. In this way, if on the battlefield,
Therefore, all we can do is try our best to concentrate superior forces and wipe out an enemy ship. However, this is a situation that can only be achieved occasionally through the occasional stroke of genius by an excellent commander. It is not a structural and systematic military balance.
"
Tantai Jing nodded, but showed a meaningful smile: "You are a colonel. This kind of structural and systematic military balance is not what you are considering now, right?"
He paused and then added: "Although you kid likes to plan for a rainy day, you still have to wait for other people occasionally."
Just smile, what kind of trouble is this "I understand everything, but you have to be patient" look like? Did we reach some consensus without my knowledge?
General Griffith also pondered for a moment and said: "I understand what you mean. I have also been in close contact with the battles of the Astral Knights. I know what you human beings are like once they go crazy.
Battle. Haha, it’s a bit embarrassing to say it, but now, whenever I think of the battle between Knight Commander Totinar and Executive Officer Manlowe, I can’t help but secrete mucus from fear.”
The Palla people do retain many of the biological characteristics of insects. When they encounter natural enemies, they will secrete pungent and sticky liquid to attack the enemy and cover their escape. The so-called "secretion of mucus" is probably
It's almost like what humans would say to scare people to death... However, you, Mr. Griffiths, are also a general of the Iron Army and one of the leaders of the country and the team leader. Can you say this casually?
However, can you imagine a human deputy state-level official casually saying "scare" to people?
Although I know that you Pallai people have always been a frank race, this is probably too frank.
General Griffith added: "However, compared with the gap between Titan ships and ordinary dreadnoughts, the barrier formed by the Astral Knights is not so difficult to overcome."
Yu Lian opened his mouth slightly, but didn't say anything. He just nodded slowly.
Now, the Iron Army Complex is resisting the pressure from stupid idealists all over the universe, and is focusing its main energy on the improvement and development of combat robots. It is hoped that they can use them to fight against the powerful psyker troops.
I have to say that this does have a direction.
However, Yu Lian still does not think this is the best direction. What's more, in terms of tactical choice, there must not be only one direction.
Speaking of which, after the Ares Festival, Yu Lian had a secret communication with the Red Star Design Institute and learned that the two professors and their team had put all their energy into attacking the space bubble generating device.
In addition, the light-wing boat that is going to participate in next year's rowing competition, named "Red Star No. 1" by Feifei, has been completed and is being tested. Aisen and Tamir were fascinated by the review materials given by the professors.
Although he was dead, he was still squeezing out time to try to localize the new fighter jets based on the information Yu Lian had given him.
As for Liuli, it is negotiating with Falcon Company, and the negotiations for the production and improvement authorization of VF17 have reached the final stage. It is said that except for some minor bargaining issues, all parties are still very satisfied.
All in all, the situation is still good.
Yu Lian was a little ashamed. He was indeed a bit lazy, which was equivalent to leaving everything to his friends. However, he was also very lucky. The reason why he dared to be the hands-off shopkeeper was because his friends were particularly reliable.
?
As for whether fighter jets equipped with space bubbles can cause effective damage to the Titan ship and whether they can cause a real technological and tactical revolution, Yu Lian cannot tell yet. However, he feels that this will at least be an experimental direction.
On the earth of my previous life, when ironclads first appeared, they were considered unsinkable. The second Dingzhen ship in the Battle of the Yellow Sea was clear proof. Although their wing ships, those old and fragile cruisers,
The losses were all over, but in the face of the enemy's attack, he remained motionless, like a mountain.
In the era of dreadnoughts, thicker armor defenses have always increased faster than the power of giant guns. The Battle of Jutland is the most magnificent war epic in the battleship era. Both sides gathered more than 40 battleships to fight a dozen
It was a small hour, but the ones that sank were all battle patrols with thin skin and big stuffing.
At that time, people all over the world still believed that the era of battleships would continue forever.
However, when those "little mosquitoes" flying around in the sky were able to carry hundreds of kilograms of aerial bombs, times changed so quietly.
Yu Lian is not too sure whether the historical changes on earth can be applied to the universe era after this timeline has been completely changed. For example, in our universe, the firepower carried by fighter planes is still limited. High-power weapons can only
It can be installed on a large ship.
However, who can guarantee that this will always be the case?
Teacher Li taught us to analyze specific problems in detail. Anyway, after Yu Lian analyzed it, he felt that this direction is worth trying. The road has always been very tortuous, but if you are not even willing to try, how can you find a bright future?
“Come on! As long as we find our own way, we must keep going unswervingly.” Yu Lian made a cheering gesture to General Griffith.
The senior brother glanced at Yu Lian and felt that this guy was a little uneasy and well-meaning.
No matter what, if the Iron Army Alliance really builds a robot army that can overthrow the Astral Knights, Yu Lian would actually be very happy to see it.
As for whether the Palla people will be regarded as heretics by the Void Spirit Temple and the major spiritual (meow) cultivating groups, and whether they will become public enemies of the entire galaxy... This can only be said to belong to the people of Palla.
Choice, Yu Lian is willing to respect their choice.
