Deep Space Fleet

Soon, people came up with a good breaking point: Since the two enemies want to get rid of mutual suspicion, it is the best way to treat them differently.

First of all, it is easier to deal with the menacing "Wanderer Alliance".

"Actually, the Rambler Alliance is very easy to deal with. If they want to save their face, then the new human civilization can just admit it."

Yes, very simply admit counsel.

"The dispatch of the main army of the Rambler Alliance has changed the rules of the game to a certain extent. In the past, it has always been a proxy war. Even if these proxies fail in the end, it is actually nothing. The prestige of the main civilization behind them will not be lost. Too much loss."

"Even the surrounding civilizations can't figure out who is behind the agent."

However, once Rambler's main force is dispatched, it must win, and it will be a big victory!

This is the most essential difference.

If it's just a small victory or failure, then the "Wanderer Alliance" will be finished!

Why? With so many subordinate civilizations under their control, many of them are unwilling to be directly controlled. What would they think if they saw that their main civilization's fighting power was weak?

The Rambler Alliance also has many enemies. What will the other two major forces think when they see that the Rambler Alliance has to spend a lot of effort to deal with an ordinary fourth-level civilization?

"As long as they don't win beautifully, they are picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons!"

"So from a strategic point of view, the Rambler Alliance's military deployment is likely to be a deterrent activity. As long as we don't expose our weaknesses and let the opponent win a big victory, the opponent will not attack at will."

"At this time, we have to admit our weakness and give the other party a step down, and the other party should withdraw their troops."

"Let's just say... the general who launched the planet buster has been dismissed! Or something else, it doesn't matter if the robot is out of control, anyway, any reasonable reason is..."

"Whether it is true or not, the two sides don't care. What they want is face, which is a step to withdraw troops. This is my little judgment."

This judgment has won the approval of the majority of diplomats, even though its success rate is not necessarily 100%.

"The main thing we need to deal with is the Apollo civilization that moved the battle star. Regarding the Apollo civilization, we can't be soft, we have to be tough."

"As for the last planet buster, alas, there is only the last one, it would be nice if there were more..."

Xiao Zhao, who was sitting next to him, was stunned after hearing the policy of "one hand is soft and the other is hard" proposed by this expert.

"If the Rambler Alliance and the Apollo Civilization are really accomplices, and we give in, the Ramblers can still withdraw their troops? This is too outrageous! Shouldn't they join forces to beat us?" Xiao Zhao asked privately.

This guy is still confused.

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Xiao Zhao, think about it, think about it carefully. Politics is not something you play so bluntly. According to your thinking, if all civilizations compare their strengths on paper, wouldn't they be able to usher in a happy reunion? Is it the end? Actually, it can’t.”

"Everyone actually has a hidden set of unspoken rules...one set on the surface and another set behind the scenes."

In this way, after some discussion, the new human civilization quickly released a series of information to the outside world, expressively declaring the mutual non-aggression and maintenance of peace with the Rambler Alliance in recent decades.

And said: "The last military exercise did not have any targeted meaning..."

"... Looking back on the development of our friendly relations, we speak highly of our friendship with the Rambler Alliance. We agree that in the face of the profound and complex situation in the interstellar region, the common interests of both sides in terms of development and security are more extensive."

"...maintaining the long-term healthy and stable development of bilateral relations is in line with our common aspirations and fundamental interests, and is also conducive to the peace and prosperity of the surrounding areas of the Dyson Sphere."

This series of statements made Zhang Yuan get goosebumps all over his body.

Why is the person who wrote this draft so shameless?

"Ahem... Who wrote this manuscript?"

"So that's what the captain wrote..."

Zhang Yuan shrank his neck: "She is very promising, haha."

At the end of this statement, a general was even dismissed as an explanation. Of course, this is just non-existent stuff, and it is impossible for the Rambler Alliance to check it anyway.

And just like that, the announcement was made, and people waited patiently for the other side to play their cards.

Sure enough, the Rambler army mobilized a large number of thunder and rain, and dispatched a large number of spaceships aggressively at the beginning. But after the new human side issued a statement, it quickly retreated, leaving only a few small spaceships to observe nearby.

A few hours later, the Rambler Alliance sent a series of messages, recognizing the "deep friendship" between the two parties, and even verbally warned the Apollo civilization not to disrupt the surrounding security situation.

Rambler didn't end in person. This move disappointed all the surrounding forces.

These forces are really disappointed, they hope that the walkers will have a full-scale conflict with other civilizations.

But the newcomer Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so fucking dangerous!

"Sure enough, these chess players cherish their feathers and are not willing to officially end."

Zhang Yuan wiped the sweat off his face and muttered to himself, "All the pressure should be on the chess pieces."

"I don't know what the Apollo civilization was thinking, but they didn't withdraw their troops. Oh, what a hassle!"

...

A few days later.

The battle star of the Apollo civilization has officially arrived at its destination. It is moving slowly near the air defense identification zone of the new human civilization, not daring to come in immediately, and unwilling to leave.

The two sides still used the same set of words of condemning each other, you come and go, cursing and cursing are numb...

A large number of early-warning spaceships of the new human civilization are flying at the border, constantly detecting the movement of the opposing army.

"It seems to be coming in!"

These two feet, in the most forward guard-class spaceship code-named "07011120", several soldiers raised their throats to the apex of their hearts!

The order they received was not to fire the first shot for the time being.

But in this depressing environment, no one knows what will happen in the next second!

At this moment, this planetary fortress entered the air defense identification zone divided by humans.

"Company commander, company commander, it's coming in!"

"Understood, don't panic. Use searchlights... to shine on it!"

A beam of bright light shone on the planet, and because the small frigate suddenly appeared from its stealth state, it triggered a large number of enemy spaceships to react.

However, these spaceships of the Apollo civilization did not fire immediately. They just turned on the fire control radar, locked the guard class, and then searched for each other.

"I even think that the Apollo civilization is holding on... If it was strong enough, it would have come here long ago!"

"Don't think so much!"

"It's okay to scold a few words."

"￥%\u0026amp;\u0026amp;@#!"

The group of soldiers yelled and scolded a few times, enjoying themselves while suffering.

"Company commander, their vanguard has rushed in, what should we do?"

The company commander frowned and pondered for a while, then issued an order: "Send a statement first, this is the territory of new humans!"

"And hit them!"

Another large batch of drones took off from the frigate, rushed up aggressively, and directly hit the orbital gun in the midair of the planetary fortress, generating a burst of bright electric sparks.

The spacecraft of the Apollo civilization seemed to be stunned for a moment, and also released a swarm of drones, trying to hit the spacecraft of the new human civilization.

The new human's small spaceship couldn't withstand such an impact, and quickly began to dodge it urgently.

Neither of the two sides fired directly, but only started the collision between the "flesh". However, the spaceship cannot compare with the planet's anti-strike ability. After you came and went, this escort-class spaceship disappeared into the dark universe again and ran away smoothly.

...

The battle report from the front was quickly sent to the rear, and small-scale friction had already begun.

"Hey, at least the opponent didn't dare to fight directly."

It's not that everyone feels sorry for this drone, it's just some consumables anyway. It is the action of the other party that officially announces that the conflict between the two sides has intensified. For a while, this Apollo civilization will not leave. .

A planet rushes over, how should humans deal with it? Use a drone to collide?

It has a little deterrent meaning, but it doesn't have much meaning!

"What does the other party's actions mean?"

"They are a little hesitant in their hearts, and they are not sure that they will eat us directly. In other words, they are calculating the benefits they can get and the losses they will pay, so they start to make some small moves."

Captain Feng said: ""If what they got was less than what they lost, why are they still here? "

A military expert smiled wryly and said: "There are several possibilities. The first is to compare the performance of the spacecraft of the two sides through actual combat. Second, there may be some political reasons. There is still a difference between economic interests and political interests. Collective There is also a difference between interests and personal interests... Could it be that they are also looking for a step down?"

"If you go back in such a disheartened way, will someone step down?"

"...It's really possible."

But the troublesome thing now is that this battle star has invaded the air defense identification zone and is slowly moving towards the human base camp. The opponent is testing the bottom line of the new human beings.

This bottom line cannot be touched, otherwise the disguise of the new human civilization will be pierced by the other party.

Captain Feng licked his dry lips, and said hoarsely: "Then warn them directly, we are going to launch a military exercise in that area!"

"Yes, that's how it should be. Our bottom line cannot be tested!"

Zhang Yuan sighed, and couldn't help shaking his head. The current situation seems to be the only way to go. However, "Planet Buster" still can't be thrown out directly. There is only the last one of this thing, and human beings will not be able to produce too much antimatter for a while, so it must be used wisely.

After receiving the warning from the new human side, soon, the battle star of the Apollo civilization slowly moved out again.

After it was moved out, human military exercises were soon stopped, and a few hydrogen bombs were dropped symbolically.

Small and large nuclear fireballs exploded in space. These are fireworks shells used for ceremonies, as if to celebrate the departure of the other party. People don't even want to use large-yield hydrogen bombs.

After all, the new humans don't want to expose the parameters of their own military spacecraft and various weapons. The few nuclear bombs thrown out are also productive forces!

As a result, a few days later, the planet moved in again.

Then, the new human issued a warning, and it moved out again.

People threw a few more fireworks shells.

After a few days, it came in again a little bit.

It's out again!

It's in again!

At this time, people began to use small laser weapons to drive them away.

Seeing the escalation of the conflict, it hurried out again and settled down for several months...

But after a few months, it started to be dishonest again.

In this way, the long-term mutual temptation began...

The new humans have never seen such a brazen civilization, and they dare not fight, and they spend their time here, but after discussion, people are happy to see the passage of time. At least the Apollo civilization is provoking here, and for a while, no other civilizations come to cause trouble. Anyway, the development of the curvature engine will not stop due to changes in the outside world.

The two sides are like two mice in a hole. You provoke me once, and I provoke you again. Seeing that the other party is really going to get angry, they quickly retreat into the hole.

...

"My God, I finally returned to the mothership. I'm so tired and nervous... I feel like my nerves will be disconnected in the next second, and I just survived the mission period day by day!"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, lie down obediently, and install a new technology chip - produced by Unreal Labs, you will be awesome after installing it."

Zhang Yuan gets in touch with these returning soldiers every day, allowing them to experience the latest technology.

They are real heroes.

Due to the guerrilla warfare of a large number of units, the tactical system of the new human beings does not communicate smoothly with each other. In this long-term surprise, soldiers can easily become tired and mentally exhausted.

Zhang Yuan didn't know whether Apollo Civilization did this on purpose. This kind of psychological warfare was indeed very effective. Many soldiers who returned from duty in the past had psychological problems.

The instructors are also scolding these "flowers in the greenhouse".

But this kind of problem cannot be solved by simply scolding.

When performing tasks for a long time, human beings will unknowingly develop bad personality traits, such as low self-esteem, cowardice, sensitivity, paranoia, self-centeredness, weak will, overly competitive, etc. These bad personalities directly affect the mental health of officers and soldiers. Some people directly suffer from claustrophobia and dark phobia, and these problems are even more troublesome.

"How long is the rest? Is there a week?"

Another younger brother of Zhang Yuan's family and friends in this life is named Zhao Yao. He is a company commander and is in charge of an escort-level spaceship. There are about 150 soldiers under his command, and he is the first batch of soldiers who returned from duty.

All of these people underwent psychological examination.

"Hey, no matter how hard it is to persevere, you must persevere!" Zhao Yao pouted, "Actually, no one complains, we are facing aliens, and we cannot back down."

"However, some psychological problems are indeed difficult to solve. Think about it, facing the empty universe, the only support is a small spaceship. This small spaceship can't handle much damage, and there are not many people. Unlike Like a mothership, it has a large population and is bustling, no different from living on a planet."

"But no matter what, you still have to persevere! Some things, get used to, get used to, really get used to it!"

Zhao Yao said excitedly: "At least the quality of the soldiers will become higher and higher, and those with poor quality will be eliminated!"

Zhang Yuan rubbed his temples and said, "After using the new chip, many problems should be solved. People will become more optimistic and stronger... Sigh, this technology is very dangerous, so I have to use it."

War is indeed a catalyst for the progress of civilization, and it can unleash many hidden potentials.

Just like some of the latest technologies in Unreal Labs can change the level of optimism in people. In the past, there may have been a lot of policy and social resistance, but now, these resistances have all disappeared.

Even Zhang Yuan himself doesn't know if it's right to use this kind of technology...

He smiled and said, "I'm a little skeptical. Why does this Apollo civilization know us so well? Is it intentional to do so here, or is it a crooked way, and even waged a psychological war?"

"Is this..." Zhao Yao nodded approvingly: "The opponent didn't fire the first shot at first, but now they are using laser weapons, which seems to be a bit similar to our unspoken rules..."

"That is..." Zhang Yuan frowned, "Does this mean that the thinking patterns of the two parties are somewhat similar?"

"Since our soldiers have produced a series of psychological pressure, the opponent's soldiers should also be the same? Although they are in the form of a large spaceship, they will not be without psychological pressure..."

...
