Walk alone in the abyss

Despicable human gamblers can be crazy enough to put everything on a big gamble;

And the cautious mechanical thinking body always conservatively weighs the gains and losses of a war.

This is the rational trap.

However, Yang Ming hadn't been happy for a long time, and Li, who had relaxed, began to pour cold water on his forehead:

"Boss, good news! We won the bet! Everything is moving in a good direction. The United States of Freedom and the Guell Alliance have turned to the territory of the New Federation. They want to outflank the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and the Empire has switched to overall defense!

"The bad news is that the Luofeng Alliance's conventional military strength is only enough to defend. Now counting the regional defense forces in the whole territory, there are less than three battle groups that can be pulled out.

"Our Dark Star Fleet now only has more than 11,000 available ships. This war is an extremely serious loss for us."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "The current Luofeng won't experience war in the short term, will he?"

Lv pondered a few times: "This is true."

Yang Ming said quite proudly: "This battle we are fighting is a broken window effect. If we still dare not fight us at the last moment, then we have already won this war! Because from now on, Time is on our side!"

"Yes boss, we have won militarily."

Law finally showed a little smile:

"The Dark Star Fleet disappeared at the border of the Luofeng Empire under the watchful eyes of all countries. This is an invisible deterrent.

"Next, we can loosen externally and tighten internally, and show that the Luofeng Alliance has been severely damaged, and then Luofeng and Dark Star will fully carry out military production."

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Remember to remind Emilia that it is best for Luofeng to draw a boundary with the mysterious fleet, and let her tell the outside world that there is a mysterious anti-imperial force behind Luofeng for support, and it is inconvenient to say anything else... Keeping it secret ensures deterrence."

"Okay boss," Lil asked, "they want a post-war meeting, will you be there?"

"Let Emilia go."

Yang Ming smiled and waved his hands:

"I want to take a break... This kind of battle is a hundred times more tiring than chopping bugs. I am highly stressed and psychologically stressed.

"If Li sees through our deception, then Luofeng's downfall will follow.

"It's really one step of life and one step of death.

"However, this is also an extraordinary measure in an extraordinary period. Next, we only need to win the peacekeeping principle in the arms race, and the rest will be fine.

"There shouldn't be any difficulties here. Luofeng's influence and economic strength will develop by leaps and bounds. We can justifiably build more warships and absorb high-quality population from the surrounding polities.

"Our dark star is expanding secretly and endlessly on the edge of human civilization. We can get more resources, and the technology obtained through the mechanical evolution route will continue to stimulate our strength.

"Levi's fleet relies on the empire's military industry system, and this military industry system has been unable to function under the chaotic situation of the empire. Even if they reopen a base like Dark Star now, it will be difficult to catch up with us. "

Law softly said: "In the early stage of developing forces, Levi relied more on machinery. When the Sherman Empire took shape, he deliberately lowered the proportion of the mechanical army, and gradually transformed the mechanical army into Levi's fleet, becoming an empire. bottom-of-the-box combat power."

"This is the advantage of an emerging power."

Yang Ming suddenly felt a little emotional:

"But I suddenly thought of a rather sad fact.

"Civilization always goes back and forth in a similar cycle, but individual human beings always play an insignificant role in the rise and fall of civilization.

"The Luofeng Alliance repelled the Sherman Empire, what can the people of the Luofeng Alliance get?"

Law whispered: "The improvement of social welfare, the increase of social per capita resources, the increase of employment, the release of class pressure, and the improvement of their collective sense of honor... In addition, people continue to be optimistic about the future, which will make the political system enter a state of rapid development, thus Promote continuous innovation in science and technology, and civilization enters a period of high-speed climbing."

"Okay, pretend I didn't ask."

Yang Ming shook his head, flipped through a few sheets of "The Emperor's Biography", and then threw the book aside.

He stared blankly at the starry sky for a while, then took "The Emperor's Biography" back and put it by his hand.

"Lü, when do you think it's more appropriate for me to set off for the City of Light?"

"In the near future, the sooner the better."

Law explained:

"The destruction of the Levy Fleet will allow a large number of soldiers from the City of Light to re-enter their resurrection system, and you can just find a gap."

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, and said: "Then I'll take a shower and sleep first, and then finish reading the adventures of that little crab... Where is my Mimily? Does she have a schedule? The Lord has already finished fighting, so can’t you be sensual and enjoy yourself?”

Law couldn't help raising his hand to his forehead.

Sometimes she is really confused.

Let’s say that my boss has not changed. He has become more mature and decisive along the way. His overall view and vision have been continuously improved, and he is already able to handle the open and secret struggles of the major political systems in the galaxy.

If you want to say that your boss has changed a lot, he still maintains his original intention.

The original intention of the old color embryo!

"Good boss! I'll arrange a vacation for you and Miss Mimily!"

The law gritted its teeth.

Yang Ming raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Good performance! Increase salary!"

...

The post-war meeting of the four countries was also held in a virtual conference room.

Emilia sat on one side of the square table with more than a dozen high-level members of the Luofeng Alliance.

On the side of the Guell League, the Chief of General Staff of Dodama could only sit slightly behind, and their prime minister sat in the first row.

Correspondingly, it is the Speaker of the New Federation and the President of the Free United States.

The content of this meeting is both complex and simple.

The simple thing is that they don't have much to share, because this time they just repelled the Sherman Empire, not how many planets they occupied or how many resources they captured.

The complicated side is that the three major powers have their own minds, and they all hope to get some benefits from Luofeng, but they don't want to come up with a suitable bargaining chip for exchange.

Naturally, Emilia would not spoil them.

In Emilia's perception, her teacher, Mr. Yang Ming, a bounty hunter, has a super fleet comparable to the Levy Fleet of the Sherman Empire. What, but to cooperate with the three of them on an equal footing.

Her thinking is also very clear, make friends with the Guell Alliance, treat the United States of Freedom equally, and refuse to deal with the New Federation.

The Güell Alliance took the lead in expressing their position. They only said how many ships they had lost, how many soldiers were killed and wounded, and their achievements;

Emilia said that Luofeng will continue to strengthen military cooperation with the Güell Alliance later, and more technologies will be shared between the two countries. Official visit to the league.

The Prime Minister of the League of Güell stated that it is not only necessary to strengthen military cooperation, but also to carry out comprehensive cooperation in the fields of economy, culture, and art. A semi-decommissioned warship that was previously sealed.

In return, Emilia donated the drone fleet integration technology [stage] to the Guell Alliance.

The temporary binding of the two regimes is in the interest of both parties.

Among the eleven self-propelled planetary guns that Luofeng participated in the battle, six of them walked out of the battlefield 'whole'. This was a huge conventional deterrent force, which was enough for Luofeng to protect himself.

What's more, there is still a mysterious fleet of fog standing behind them.

The United States of Freedom offered to exchange military technology with Luofeng, and Emilia tactfully expressed regret.

"The development of our Luofeng military industry system is somewhat deformed. In order to defeat the Sherman Empire, we have gone deeper in the direction of unmanned aerial vehicles and planetary cannons. In terms of battleships, there are still some deficiencies.

"The cooperation with the Guell Union has perfectly made up for our shortcomings.

"Our Luofeng Alliance is not a villain who is ungrateful for profit, and we don't want to do business with rare goods. We exchange sincerity for sincerity.

"So, we who have decided to cooperate with the alliance, as long as there are no accidents in the cooperation process, we will not consider other partners for the time being."

In this case, everyone speaks cautiously.

Emilia's ability to say these words is enough to give the Guell Union a box of reassurance.

Of course, everything depends on the interests. All transnational cooperation should not be based on how much is planned, but how much is actually implemented.

Then came the heavyweight new federal representative to speak.

"Our side..."

At the seat of Luofeng representatives opposite the New Federation delegation, more than a dozen three-dimensional projections shook slightly, and all representatives of the Luofeng Alliance left the seat at the same time.

The face of the new federal speaker turned black, but he could only continue to speak.

When the new federal representative finished speaking.

Several rays of light projected by the stereoscopic projection shuttled back and forth, and all representatives of the Luofeng Alliance returned to their positions at the same time.

"Sorry, network fluctuates."

Emilia's pretty face was full of regret: "In order to save time, let's move on to the next topic, which is the next step of military deployment."

The old speaker of the new federation covered his heart.

The wrangling of virtual conference rooms continues;

Much of the Milky Way has begun to adorn with lights.

Under the continuous propaganda of the two camps of freedom and democracy, and with the background of the introduction of the Sherman Empire in the history textbooks of various countries, the Luofeng Alliance's "weakness against the strong" and "the following to overcome the superior" and achieved a comprehensive victory have become The huge news that shook the human civilization of the whole galaxy.

In the depiction of the online navy, the Luofeng Empire, the predecessor of the Luofeng Democratic Republic, had already started planning how to fight for democracy and freedom hundreds of years ago. It was the accumulation of hundreds of years that led to the outbreak.

The contest between the Dark Star Fleet and the Levi Fleet, in the form of scattered videos, spread wildly across the entire network of the Milky Way.

The law didn't care about these.

In a few months, and the attention on the matter has zeroed out, she will delete the data.

——The wars carried out by mechanical civilizations that are parallel to human civilizations have nothing to preach to human beings.

Some are happy and some are sad.

As the victor, the Luofeng League began nationwide mourning activities and announced that it would continue to improve the social treatment of soldiers and their families.

There were large-scale riots within the Sherman Empire. Although the powerful Imperial Guard system purified the empire's unified network, the regional networks of the various administrative stars still spread negative news of the empire's defeat.

The deterrence of the imperial army is two-way, both external and internal. When the invincible fleet suffers heavy losses, the deterrence will be greatly reduced.

Not only was the previous crisis of the empire not resolved by the foreign war, but it was also super doubled by the defeat.

Emperor Star, the headquarters of the Empire Development God Cult.

The old emperor stared blankly at the "mature reason" in front of him, and listened to the battle report reported by the maid beside him, his eyes gradually lost their luster.

lost?

The Imperial Guard system dispatched with the Levi Fleet, but they lost?

Now, this three-dimensional image, which looks like a goddess, is praying for something. According to the archbishop's explanation, this is the continuous low-efficiency operation of the Emperor Wei system.

But the old emperor still felt that he should be dreaming, and this dream that he couldn't wake up from had a tendency to develop into a nightmare.

The middle-aged maid said: "Your Majesty, Director Ino has sent an online meeting invitation."

"Oh," the old emperor closed his eyes and sighed softly, "my uncle is already a rare and reliable elite in the family, and his opinions are often correct, but it's a pity that his voice is too weak... find a quiet place I'll go and take part in it."

"Your Majesty, we must remind you that the round table is also running at this moment."

The old emperor frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"It means that there are now two high-level decision-making meetings, one is still on that round table, but two-fifths of the veterans who originally belonged to that round table have appeared in the meeting held by Director Ino .”

The old emperor was startled.

It was rare for him to use his brain to think. After thinking for more than ten seconds, he turned to look at his history teacher:

"How do you usually deal with such a situation in the history of the empire?"

"Sorry, Your Majesty," the middle-aged maid shook her head slightly, "There has never been such a situation in the history of the empire."

"That's not a good sign."

The old emperor thought about it.

He is the emperor of the empire, and it is legally reasonable for him to come forward and gather all the power-holders in front of him.

But if...they refuse...

These guys have never put him in the eyes of the emperor, they are likely to refuse, and as long as there are too many people who refuse, he will not even be able to be the current superficial emperor.

The old emperor suddenly thought of his young knight commander.

That guy is so amazing, he can find a solution to any difficulty, and he can make those old guys helpless...

"I'm afraid I can't."

The old emperor murmured, sighed slightly, and sat back on his suspended sofa.

He put his hands in his sleeves, and said calmly: "I'm not feeling well, so I went back to rest, and you can refuse all the meetings for me."

"Your Majesty, in fact, you are now..."

The middle-aged maid was a little hesitant to speak, but she watched the emperor's leaving back and didn't say much.

...

"We didn't die!"

Earl Revell woke up from his stupor, looked at the battle scenes recorded by his flagship, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The small fleet led by this ship only participated in marginal battles, and the battle scenes recorded were not the whole picture of the battlefield.

But this kind of high-intensity, no-frills warship confrontation still made Revel's nerves tremble.

There is a bandage on his head, and there is still a little blood on his forehead, which is a 'reward' for not wearing a safety rope while sleeping in the sleeping cabin.

Because of the violent vibration of the ship, the earl slammed his head into the sleeping cabin, resulting in a concussion and a brief coma, completely missing the entire battle.

Now he has a bunch of bad news in front of him.

Worst news: his personal fleet is almost gone.

Relatively not so bad news: the private fleets of other great noble families are similar.

Revell mourned the disappearance of those familiar faces for a few minutes, continued to read the war records, and soon he found some clues.

Neither the Levy Fleet nor the enemy's mysterious fleet seems to be driven by humans. Their maneuvering, variable speed, and straight-line acceleration are far beyond the range that humans can bear. During the acceleration process, they did not simulate the gravity field directly in front of the ship.

——The simulated gravity field directly in front of the ship can effectively offset the strong load on the crew's body when the ship is advancing at full speed.

Revell frowned tightly and kept thinking. Just as he was forcing himself to shift his energy from 'afterthought' analysis to comforting the soldiers, his encrypted communication device suddenly received a somewhat strange message.

[Send this communicator to the Luofeng Alliance and give it to Commander Yang Ming. This is related to the life and death of hundreds of billions of people in the empire. 】

The account that sent the message was... His Majesty's trumpet!

The corner of Revel's mouth twitched rapidly.

He glanced around, making sure that the operators on the ship's console were immersed in a sad atmosphere, and no one noticed his side, so he immediately put the communicator back in his pocket.

He received this secret communicator from His Majesty the Emperor together with his idol White Ghost, Atro, who is now the leader of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and a few other unimportant guys. Now, His Majesty’s trumpet Send a message in person...

How could he meet the commander of Luofeng?

Pretend to surrender?

Do you want his big family anymore?

Revel sat on the bow and fell into deep thought.

"Well, when I get old in the future, I will definitely write a memoir," he murmured with a wry smile, "to commemorate the end of the powerful period of the empire."

Run first and then moisten~
