Chapter 338: Second Test in Advance
The Luofeng Empire won a second victory over the Nonar United Kingdom?
Catherine looked at the pop-up window of the electronic newspaper in front of her and immediately became interested. She opened the message and took a few glances. She was attracted by the content and read the thousand-word report.
The combined mobile warfare destroyed and captured an equal number of enemies;
With the resources and size of eleven administrative stars, they defeated the United Kingdom of Nonar, which had twenty or thirty administrative stars, in military terms;
Moreover, both times were justified wars of self-defense counterattacks, not active aggression by Luo Feng.
"This vassal state called Luofeng is so powerful."
The young girl next to him smiled and said:
"I heard that the Imperial Fleet received an order to return home while on its way to support the Luofeng Empire. It only took them half a day to plan dozens of local battles and establish an overall advantage."
Catherine smiled and continued to put on her combat uniform.
She smiled and said, "Luo Feng should have the support of the Empire's resources."
Another female team member spoke up:
"No, Captain! I read in gossip that the Empire is behind the United Kingdom of Nornar!"
"Why?" Catherine was a little confused.
"Nonar's first provocation to Luofeng was more than a year ago. They sent troops directly into Luofeng's territory to claim that a resource planet was theirs, and then began a bilateral confrontation. Then the conflict broke out and escalated. The Luofeng military directly defeated the Nonar fleet of equal size.
"Luofeng captured the ship, released Nonar's prisoners, and demanded a huge war reparations from Nonar.
"However, within a year, three or four hundred advanced warships suddenly appeared in Nonar, and then they integrated a powerful fleet of nearly a thousand warships... but they were defeated by the Luofeng military's tactics. Two hundred ships disappeared, and then a merchant ship near the border of the empire saw a large number of ships withdrawing to the empire, and some ships still had traces of war damage..."
“Is this true or false?”
"But why does the Empire want to deal with Luo Feng?"
"If Luo Feng can defeat thousands of ships with just a few hundred ships, this commander is truly terrifying."
"The professionalism of the soldiers and the quality of the ships are the basis for victory."
"What about now? How's the fight going?"
"It is said that half of the Luofeng Fleet returned home, and the other half was stationed on the first planet of the United Kingdom of Nonar. They captured their extravagant king and his family and brought them back to the planet of Yilando. They asked their politicians to pay the compensation for the last war and give a reasonable explanation for this war."
"Is Luofeng going to rise? After two wars, they have directly occupied the enemy's first star. This wave can suck the blood of the United Kingdom of Nornar dry."
"This Nonar United Kingdom is really full of weaklings."
"laugh."
There was a little more laughter in the locker room.
Catherine, who had already changed into combat uniform, stood at the door with a smile on her face. She lowered her head to glance at the information on her watch and quickly hid it.
Catherine said, "Hurry up, this simulation test is very important for your assessment."
"I know cheerleader!"
"Captain, you have a great body!"
"Wow, I'm drooling!"
Catherine crossed her arms and laughed. Just as she was about to give them some instructions, the shell-shaped communicator hanging on her chest vibrated slightly.
She immediately chose to answer the call, and Yang Ming's voice floated out:
"Wow, you answered it immediately. You think of me."
"What happy thing happened?" Catherine asked immediately, "Why didn't you turn on the projection and just use the voice? Is there another woman around you?"
On the Dongfeng, Yang Ming turned his head to look at 026 who was passing by with a plate in his hand, and felt inexplicably guilty.
The reason why he doesn't need a video is that he now has a technological dressing on his face, disguising himself as "Yang Ming".
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't say anything careless. If you are so rigid about gender, can't I have a man around me?"
"Pah!" Catherine smiled and said, "Why did you suddenly think of contacting me?"
Yang Ming said in a gentle voice: "I just made a small achievement, and I want to share it with the person who is closest to me in my current social relationship."
"Well, I will reluctantly listen to you talk about your glorious journey. What achievements have you made?"
"This is confidential."
Catherine wanted to tear the space apart with her hands and rush over to punch Yang Ming twice.
"Then what do you say!"
"Haha," Yang Ming said slowly, "I won't bother with you anymore. How have you been recently? Have you encountered any difficulties or troubles?"
Catherine muttered, "Why do I feel like you've become a different person?"
"What's wrong?"
"I sent you messages before and you were very gentle, but today you are being naughty again."
"Well, I was sleeping sometimes before, and I set up a special smart reply for you in advance. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry. My genes are a little unstable," Yang Ming said with a smile, "It's fine now."
Catherine didn't care about the intelligent reply and asked softly, "Are the hidden dangers of the ancient god gene very big?"
"Fortunately," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Compared to the benefits it brings me, the risk is already very small, and it is generally stable."
"That's good……"
"Captain! We're ready!"
"Are you busy?" Yang Ming asked gently, "Go ahead. I also have to deal with some daily affairs on Sakaar. We'll talk in the evening."
"Yeah," Catherine responded gently, smiling unconsciously, and hung up the phone.
The female team members came up and asked quietly, "Is it the legendary white ghost?"
"Wow, what a gentle voice!"
"Captain, does your boyfriend need a girlfriend? If not, I can introduce my boyfriend to him!"
Catherine's face suddenly became serious: "Everyone, be serious and stand at attention!"
Swish!
Several female team members immediately stood up straight and tried to straighten their expressions.
…
On the Dongfeng, Yang Ming put on silent headphones, swayed his body gently to the drum beats in the headphones, and his fingers kept sliding on the projection screen in front of him.
Public opinion in Luofeng has exploded.
The national defense war in which the weak defeated the strong ignited the patriotic enthusiasm of all the soldiers and civilians of the Luofeng Empire, and a spontaneous grand parade appeared in Luofeng;
Although the official activities now underway are to commemorate the fallen soldiers.
He now had to ask Major General Yang Ming to reduce his appearances to prevent anyone from discovering anything.
As the Dark Star Fleet smoothly returned to the Dark Star Base, more than 100,000 mechanical minds began to undergo psychological testing;
With the Luofeng Empire's second and fourth defense fleet regiments, they have re-deployed their defenses near Yilandu Star and several other main administrative stars;
The second war between Luofeng and Nonar finally came to a temporary end with Luofeng's complete victory.
The results of this battle will be very gratifying.
Apart from anything else, the remaining fleet of the Nonar United Kingdom has announced its surrender, and their medium and large warships will all be taken away by the Luofeng Empire;
When the war broke out, the mechanical thinking task force dispatched by Yang Ming had already protected the important military factories in the United Kingdom of Nonar, and would move them back to Luofeng later.
The ready-made ship production line in Nornar will be quickly dismantled in a month, and then pulled back to Luofeng for assembly. Other Nornar companies with higher technological content will also suffer a similar fate.
Yang Ming even set his sights on the planetary defense system of Nonar Prime.
This type of system is extremely expensive and usually requires a long time to build and accumulate.
But now, Luo Feng only needs to form a fleet of dozens of transport ships to load the orbital self-propelled artillery into the cabin in batches in space and transport it back to Yilandu, giving the residents of Yilandu more sense of security.
The part of the war that Yang Ming was responsible for has come to an end, and now it is time for Edwang to perform.
Adwant was not only an emperor, he was also a shrewd businessman.
Within half a year, he will gradually squeeze out all the benefits that can be squeezed out of Nonal.
According to the plan, Adwang will first express to the outside world that they intend to ask Nonar to hand over several planets as compensation for defeat, creating a tense atmosphere that Nonar is about to be dismantled.
Then, Edwang would make some anti-war speeches to promote Luo Feng's peace-loving ideas.
When Luo Feng moved away all the resources that could be moved, emptied the treasury of the United Kingdom of Nonar, and forced them to sign an IOU for huge war reparations, Edwang would give a speech to the citizens of the United Kingdom of Nonar, telling them the whole process of the two wars, and then announced that he would not occupy any planet to express his tolerance and magnanimity.
They want both the substance and the appearance.
In fact, this is also a helpless move.
There are nine political systems between Luofeng and Nonar, which is a long straight-line distance, and it takes time to build a directional jump orbit.
This kind of enclave is really a difficult problem for Luo Feng, who will have to deal with the attack from the Sherman Empire later.
It would be better to fight to support the war, fight and run away, use the ships and production lines moved from the United Kingdom of Nonar to strengthen Luofeng's military strength, and then use Nonar's compensation and resources to support this part of the fleet that exceeds Luofeng's daily needs.
As long as Luo Feng is given half a year to train new recruits, he will be able to build the fifth and sixth frigate regiments and have the military strength to expand outward.
The Luofeng Alliance can take advantage of the situation to expand outward by five to six administrative stars and incorporate two or three small political entities.
Luo Feng not only wants to make money, but also wants to make sure that the United Kingdom of Nonar cannot pose a substantial threat to Luo Feng in the next few decades.
Dismantling their military is only the first step;
The second step is to use the advantage of the victor over the loser to insert several catheters into the economic lifeline of the Kingdom of Nonar, making it impossible for the economy of the Kingdom of Nonar to recover in a short period of time.
The third step is to select "agents" within the Kingdom of Nonar, take advantage of the people's humiliation after the defeat, take the initiative to expose the contemporary government's "humiliating" behavior, provoke domestic conflicts, cause them to erupt in civil strife and split into different forces.
Yang Ming hopes that when the Luofeng Alliance officially expands to the vicinity of the Kingdom of Nonar, at least half of the latter's administrative stars will fall into Luofeng's possession.
This requires long-term planning.
Yang Ming was browsing the Sherman Empire's portal website, searching for the hot search terms about Luo Feng, and Lu's virtual image appeared beside him.
"Boss, the psychological test has been completed."
"Hmm? How's it going?"
"It's not bad. The number of mechanical minds with psychological problems is not higher than expected," Lu said quickly, "They fully understand that they must protect Luofeng in order to protect Dark Star . About twenty or so mechanical minds have experienced drastic emotional fluctuations. They are against all forms of war."
Yang Ming asked: "How did you deal with it?"
"It's been retrained," Lu sighed with some regret, "It's not that we can't tolerate different voices, but there's no need to take the risk of their betrayal. I guess there will be wars on a regular basis in the future."
Yang Ming sighed slightly: "War destroys the economy. If border conflicts break out one after another in Luofeng, the economy will collapse again within a year."
"The Sherman Empire is too powerful. It's already pretty good that Luo Feng was able to protect himself in these two wars."
Law added:
"Of course, this has nothing to do with the Sherman Empire using much force. They are still a little arrogant now, and they are inextricably linked."
Yang Ming sat back in his chair and exhaled softly: "Why did they start to target Luo Feng directly? Logically speaking, even if they found that Luo Feng showed signs of trouble, shouldn't they first give him a warning before taking action against him? Luo Feng has given Sherman so much money over the years and has fattened up so many people in the empire..."
"We may have misunderstood the Empire's attitude toward its vassal states. However, things have come to this point, Boss. We can only think of ways to counter each move and give Luo Feng more time to develop."
Yang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you think, if the old emperor Sherman suddenly died, would Sherman fall into turmoil?"
"No, boss. Don't have such thoughts. The Sherman family is behind this."
"That's right," Yang Ming took off his headphones and threw them aside, then opened the list of Nonar Technology companies compiled by Lu, "Remember to remind Edwang to set an astronomical figure for war compensation for them, and then let them use scientific patents and high-precision equipment to pay off the debt. There are also methods to plunder."
"Boss, let me correct you. This is not robbery! This is the legitimate exploitation of the defeated country by the victorious country!"
"Okay, this time I finally understand that the people are the ones who suffer in the end."
Yang Ming shook his head, not feeling too sorry for the people of the United Kingdom of Nonar who were about to face a major economic recession, and began to pick and choose those technology companies.
The Molly Miss Group is also going to expand accordingly.
The United Kingdom has quite a few high-quality assets.
"By the way, Lu," Yang Ming asked without even looking up, "In Omnic Twilight, I chose the direction of mechanical and evolutionary civilization. If I pass the second test and obtain the various technologies needed for a second-level civilization to quickly develop into a third-level civilization, is it possible for Luofeng and Dark Star to develop quickly?"
"Luo Feng needs time to digest it, but our Dark Star can definitely do it."
The law gave an affirmative answer:
"The current development level of the Luofeng Empire is only equivalent to that of the planet Yilanduo, which is equivalent to 2.7. The actual technological capabilities are not enough for a true third-level civilization. Only the core areas of the top ten powers in the Milky Way can be called third-level civilizations.
"The Luofeng Empire is a force dominated by humans. If it wants to improve its civilization level, it must not only improve social sciences and humanities, but also comprehensively improve the quality of its residents and increase the proportion of scientific researchers. This is something that can only be accomplished with a long-term plan of a hundred years.
"Our Dark Star is different, Boss. The speed of mechanical expansion is exponential, not linear.
"Take advantage of the abundant resources we have now. If we can obtain the technology of the second-level to third-level advancement of the mechanical civilization, especially the military technology, I can guarantee that Dark Star can create a powerful fleet within two to three years."
Yang Ming: …
Seeing Yang Ming's uncertain expression, Lu added, "Boss, an omnic crisis is when omnics replicate in a short period of time and then go out of control, or transform other omnics through various means. Even if we plan it as an omnic crisis, it is the top omnic crisis!"
Yang Ming turned his head and looked at Lu.
"Where do you get this sense of conviction? This is a top-level Omnic Crisis."
"Hehe," Lu explained embarrassedly, "Anyway, Boss, why don't we take the second test in advance? That way, we will be on the same starting line as Levi Sherman who failed the test that year. My main brain performance will also be greatly improved, and you don't have to worry about me being bullied by that senior."
Yang Ming lowered his head and thought.
He actually didn't want to waste the remaining time, but the current situation was already very dangerous.
Luo Feng cannot lose, otherwise he will lose everything.
Now is also a good time to allow him to go to the Omnic Twilight - Luo Feng has just won the battle, and there is no force in the surrounding area that can threaten Luo Feng, and the Sherman Empire also needs to find a new war agent.
"Lü, prepare to sail away!"
"Yes, boss!"
"But before that, we have to find a way to stabilize the Sherman Empire and prevent it from attacking Luo Feng directly."
Yang Ming rested his arms on his head, lying in the chair and lost in thought.
We have to think of a way to let the old emperor pull the Sherman Empire's legs and say something like "Luo Feng is pretty good" in person to restrain the Empire's Foreign Affairs Bureau and the Military.
