Chapter 270: It is impossible to be conservative
The Battle of Anubis Star Field came to a temporary end with the Empire's successful advancement and the New Federation's unsuccessful sniping.
The Empire and the New Federation simultaneously lost a dreadnought combat unit, and the Empire paid the price of an extra 200 warships and more than 200,000 casualties.
Judging from the casualty ratio of both sides alone, this should be considered a small victory for the New Federation.
But the Empire achieved its strategic goal, occupying the Anubis star field, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and directly overlooking the New Federation's first star, Minter City.
As long as the Imperial fleet jumps out of the gravitational influence of the double black holes, the city of Mint will be defenseless.
In this battle, the combat effectiveness of the Empire's First Battle Group was preserved by more than 60%, and in the future there will be royal-controlled fleets, aristocratic private fleets, and mixed fleets from vassal states to provide continuous support to the front line.
It is estimated that by then, the number of medium and large warships in the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet will exceed 13,000.
One of the Empire's dreadnoughts has withdrawn from the battle sequence, but a fleet of two battleships will follow from the country.
[As for the most important national treasures, the more the better. - Levi Sherman.]
Because of the existence of mature jump technology, even though the Empire's supply lines are very long, it is difficult for the New Federation to determine the landing point of the fleet if it wants to harass or sneak attack the supply lines.
The Milky Way is too vast, there are too few planets suitable for human habitation and that constitute the main body of today's civilization, and there are too many barren star regions.
The New Federation now has only one way to survive.
Win the next first star defense battle.
The New Federation has assembled all the local defense forces it can mobilize outside the star Mingte, and the number of various small and medium-sized warships is quite terrifying.
Many merchant ships were also requisitioned as transport ships, continuously transporting defensive armaments.
They tried to turn the outskirts of Minter City into a real minefield.
The next battle will directly determine the future fate of the New Federation.
This isn't the only battlefield.
When Yang Ming flew to Catherine's Stinger in a bat boat, another battle among the bourgeoisie had already begun.
The Empire's Invincible Fleet advanced to the outskirts of Minter City. Taking into account jumps and space navigation, it was only a day and a half away from Minter City.
Under such strong pressure, all placebos have become ineffective and people have lost their basic confidence.
The group of wealthy businessmen and capitalists who had originally gathered in Mingte City began to flee like an avalanche, desperately transferring their assets.
All parties have been waiting for this moment for a long time. The big capitals of the Sherman Empire, the Free United States and the Guel Alliance have directly spread their dragnet and used the New Federation's Free Trade Interstellar Convention to start exchanging .
Most of the medium-sized and small countries were slow to react or lacked strength, but the Luofeng Empire, which had been waiting for a long time, now opened its bloody mouths.
Edwang and Yang Ming had long foreseen that there would be a loss between the New Federation and the Empire.
Relying on the asset system he had operated in the New Federation for many years, Adwang began to acquire a number of technology companies in the New Federation and obtained many patent licenses that were previously banned by the New Federation.
For Luo Feng, this is the best time.
Only when the technological level catches up with that of the advanced countries in the Milky Way can we drive national productivity and further enhance national strength and people's living standards.
Yang Ming's Molly Miss Group is even more terrifying. Because of the existence of Lu, they use both open and covert tactics, and they will kill the weak points of the New Federation's industrial system. They even snatched a few pieces of fat directly from the Ministry of Finance of the Sherman Empire.
If we say that the fleet battle was fought with the bones and flesh of the New Federation.
The big assets of half of the Milky Way are sniping at the capital of the New Federation, which is directly sucking the marrow of the New Federation!
Yang Ming couldn't actually help much with this war, so everything was left to Lu.
What he was sure of was that he would most likely become very rich, rich enough to rival a country.
The Dongfeng gradually moved away from the star field where the imperial fleet was concentrated.
Yang Ming has successfully entered the Stinger and was welcomed by the team members.
Salute, greet, present flowers, applaud collectively.
These super reformers looked at Yang Ming with burning eyes. They were branded with the idea of "loyalty to the empire" and because of the previous battle, they had a little more admiration for Yang Ming.
The treatment of a true imperial hero.
Where is Catherine?
Yang Ming looked around and soon felt a powerful biological energy at the entrance of the corridor.
The sound of footsteps came from behind the crowd, which was the rhythm of high heels hitting the metal deck.
The male and female players looked at each other, trying their best to hold back their laughter, and walked back to their posts or the lounge as if nothing had happened, allowing Yang Ming to easily see Catherine walking over with her hands behind her back.
She is so beautiful.
For a few seconds, this was the only thought in Yang Ming's mind.
Catherine not only dressed up carefully today, she also sought the advice of several familiar female team members and wore a style she had never tried before, making her feminine charm almost overflow the bridge.
She is naturally very tall, and her crystal-colored high heels make her a favorite clothes rack for fashion designers;
The light purple strapless dress fits her charming figure well, adding a touch of feminine charm without appearing too glamorous.
She put on light makeup, which made her eyebrows look even thinner and smoother. Her two gem-like eyes seemed to be telling people something as her eyelashes fluttered.
Yang Ming noticed that she was holding the golden mask in her hand, but had no idea where to put it.
"Hello, Captain!"
Yang Ming saluted.
Catherine pursed her lips and looked a little helpless: "Are you sure you're not hurt?"
"certainly."
"Come with me for a check-up," Catherine pointed to the infirmary. Yang Ming shrugged and walked up calmly.
Catherine turned around and led the way with her hands behind her back.
She is a combat girl, but her arms and waist are very slender. Her smooth muscle curves are hidden under the soft and smooth fabric of the little dress.
Yang Ming almost hugged her directly.
Stay calm and control yourself. As a quasi-ancient god, you can't act too recklessly.
The infirmary is very small, with a single bed and several robotic arms loaded with various medical devices.
"Don't collect my biological information," Yang Ming reminded.
Catherine was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said gently, "Okay, lie here, I'll help you check your physical characteristics data."
"You look so beautiful today," Yang Ming jumped onto the hospital bed and said softly.
Catherine bit her lip but ignored him, fiddling with the various instruments skillfully.
When their team was on a mission, there were many times when team members were seriously injured and she helped with the rescue.
Yang Ming admired her beautiful profile, took off his shirt, and lay down in his military uniform pants, resting his arms on his head, and sighed softly.
"What's wrong?" Catherine asked.
"I was thinking about this mission," Yang Ming said with a click of his tongue. "I just thought it would be nice to fight with you, so I asked them to transfer you here. Now that I think about it, this mission is quite dangerous and I shouldn't have let you go."
"There are no more than five super-changers who are stronger than me. If there is a mission, someone has to go. Why can't it be me?"
Catherine responded calmly, having already set the machine parameters.
A robotic arm moved to Yang Ming's feet and began to slowly scan Yang Ming's body.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "That's not what I meant... No one wants to put someone they care about in danger, Catherine."
"You like me?"
Catherine put her hands behind her back and tilted her head slightly as she asked, her eyes full of aggression.
"I like it very much," Yang Ming replied with a smile.
The air in the infirmary suddenly became quiet.
Catherine stood behind the door, looking down at Yang Ming. The robotic arm was slowly rising, and Yang Ming was also looking at her clear eyes.
clatter!
There was a faint sound of mechanical locking from behind Catherine's door.
"Now is the only private time," she whispered.
Yang Ming blinked: "Catherine?"
Catherine had already walked up, her breathing fluctuating slightly, but her strong mental strength allowed her to maintain a calm appearance.
Just as Yang Ming was about to sit up, Catherine had already raised her hand and pressed Yang Ming's shoulders, pressing him hard on the bed.
The infirmary was shaking slightly.
There were flaws in her control of her power that shouldn't have existed.
Before Yang Ming had time to congratulate himself on his strong physique, Catherine's beautiful face had already filled his vision. He closed his eyes tightly and came forward without thinking.
Yang Ming held on to the bed tightly.
There is nothing romantic about this super-modifier's fierce attack.
Two minutes later.
Yang Ming looked at the confused girl in his arms and couldn't help but whispered in her ear, "Did you learn these from those female players?"
"I, I haven't had time to fall in love yet... I have too many tasks to do during normal times... Is this what couples are like?"
"Just tell me, relax."
Yang Ming said in a gentle voice, forcefully taking back the initiative.
…
Damn.
I always feel like I have triggered some flag.
In the simulated evening, Captain Catherine was in her rather spacious lounge.
Yang Ming, wrapped in a bathrobe, walked to her workbench, turned his head to look at her back as she lay on her side, and grinned.
Wonderful experience.
In particular, her physical strength was barely comparable to his own, which gave Yang Ming a rare feeling of relief.
I hope this relationship can last longer and Catherine won’t leave me for one reason or another.
Although he didn't say it, he was still quite bothered by the choice Hera made.
But what can we do?
Respect is all.
Yang Ming casually took off his clothes, put on a shirt and underwear, took out a thumb-sized disc and placed it in front of him. The disc projected a dimly lit three-dimensional projection screen.
Images and data of three new federal fortresses appeared simultaneously.
Although Yang Ming kept emphasizing the danger of this plan, he himself did not think it was a very dangerous task.
This kind of fortress is a huge threat to the fleet, but it relies on people and machines to maintain itself. As long as you can sneak into the fortress, it is not difficult to paralyze it.
How to get in?
To this end, Yang Ming had asked his lawyer to consult an expert in this field in advance.
——Old Kolev.
This old man spends his days eating, drinking, and having fun in the Luofeng Empire, enjoying his retirement. He doesn't even know when he took the telomere-modulating agent. It's simply ridiculous.
But fortunately, although Kolev liked to socialize with old ladies, he guarded his reputation and did not let down Mimili's mother.
At this moment, Kolev had already sent a complete set of invasion ideas.
Now that we are in a state of war, the three major fortresses must be tightly guarded to prevent sabotage by imperial agents. It is unlikely to sneak in by conventional means.
No matter how tight the protection is, there will be loopholes.
Kolev wrote the following in his proposal:
"Generally speaking, if you want to infiltrate these strong fortresses, you will most likely have to go through their transportation and supply channels."
'A slightly more constructive approach would be to choose the weak area of the fortress shell, have the fleet cooperate, and then use jamming technology to find a breakthrough.'
'But in fact, there is a window of God right in front of you. If you are not so conservative in your thinking, this may be a reference option for you.'
'Any gun port of the fortress combination cannon is the best portal to enter the fortress.'
'This may sound a little crazy. As long as the ion cannon focuses energy, all life that enters the muzzle will be reduced to elementary particles... But in fact, if you understand weapons, you will find that after entering the combat readiness state, there are only some detection devices near the muzzles. With your means, as long as you get close to the muzzle and rush in quickly, this fortress should not be a problem.'
Drill, drill the muzzle?
Is this old man hoping that he will die soon so that he can inherit his Dongfeng as the first mate?
The corners of Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly. He organized the idea and sent it to Captain Gris.
Two minutes later, Grace sent a series of exclamation marks and a thumbs-up emoticon.
[Gris (Vice President of the Fan Club): You are indeed my idol. This plan is quite interesting. We will study it right away.]
[Hanton (white god): Control the scope of those who know the truth.]
[Gris (Vice President of the Fan Club): Don't worry, before this battle is over, none of those involved in the discussion can contact the outside world, and no one can leave this meeting room.]
Yang Ming: …
Well, everyone in the empire is getting serious about this.
"Hanton?"
Catherine's voice was a little hoarse.
Yang Ming immediately returned to the bedside and whispered something in her ear. The two of them hugged each other, drowsily enjoying the warm time before the battle.
"By the way, isn't this against Imperial military regulations?"
Yang Ming felt the amazing smoothness with his fingers and smiled with his eyes narrowed.
Let's have the gendarmerie come and give it a try.
When he teams up with Catherine, they are basically invincible in one-on-one fights.
…
In the Empire, Imperial Star, and Palace modules.
His Majesty the Emperor frowned, put on his bathrobe, left the arms of the girls, and sat back at his desk .
Although he said that he would lead the army in person, he did not say that the fighting on the front line could come and disturb him during his rest time.
The emperor's old face was full of impatience. He casually opened the two emails and then frowned slightly.
Using scouts to launch a surprise attack on the New Federation fortress and leveraging the strengths of the Empire's cyborg soldiers can reduce the loss of one's own warships and directly undermine the morale of the New Federation?
Then let’s launch a sneak attack.
What are these useless people doing, looking ahead and behind?
Hmm? Do you want to ask the Archbishop to pray and activate the Empire's entire defense system, and use this system to interfere with the New Federation's fleets and fortresses?
"What do these rubbish regard as our ancestors' most important comrades and partners?"
The old emperor had a gloomy expression.
He closed his eyes and his father's teachings flashed through his mind.
No matter how absurd his life was, as long as he tried his best to have children, he would have fulfilled the responsibilities of the emperor. Everything in the empire had its own order of operation, and imposed interference would only lead to disaster. This was the "ancestral teachings" summed up by more than a dozen previous emperors of the empire after spending their entire lives.
In addition to sowing genes as much as possible, the emperor must also remember that there are three taboos at the core of the powerful empire, which should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.
Praying in the Goddess Temple is one of the three taboos.
The old emperor tapped his fingers gently and typed a line of 'instructions'.
[This system cannot be activated unless it is an emergency. Please trust our brave warriors. ]
He pressed his finger down, ready to send the imperial edict to the imperial center immediately, but before his finger was about to go up, he subconsciously thought for a while longer.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Empire is too powerful, so it has always been a behemoth in the eyes of all countries in the Milky Way. On average, every one or two thousand years, a "galactic second" like the New Federation will challenge the Empire's dominance.
The 'second in command' of all generations actually had no other options.
If they do not take action against the empire, the empire will use various means to bring them down when they develop to a certain extent.
That is also one of the taboos that the emperor must keep in mind.
In his life, apart from fathering dozens of children, what other achievements did he have?
No, no one will remember him. People will only submit to the next emperor and crawl under the great imperial power.
This may be the only chance, so why be too conservative?
After all, the records he left in the annals of the empire were too few.
The old emperor smiled with his eyes narrowed, deleted his instructions, typed two words, and sent them to the imperial power center.
【permit.】
