Deep Space Fleet

The scorching battle continued, with bright clusters of light flickering in the universe, and soon both sides suffered a series of injuries.

"Retreat, retreat!"

"Retreat further!"

The battle stars of the Apollo civilization and most of the large flagships fought and retreated. Within ten minutes, they retreated from the vicinity of the air defense identification zone of the new humans. battle field.

Several curvature missiles launched urgently seemed to hit some target, producing a bright light cluster.

"Report sir, the new human civilization has withdrawn!"

"Understood, submit the battle report!"

A group of angry squids began to count the losses of this local war and analyze the specific situation.

No matter how angry and angry you are, you still have to have serious military qualities. If you don't even know how many soldiers you have lost, just fight back directly, which is simply a joke in the world. This time the war will not end overnight, after all, a good opportunity can be found for revenge.

...

Zhang Yuan and others are anxiously waiting for the battle report ahead.

The strategy this time is too dangerous, and I really took a big risk!

They have already discussed that if the other side doesn't even negotiate, and directly goes mad and attacks the whole army aggressively, then the new humans will still have to pretend to resist for a while, but in the end they still have to evacuate quickly to reduce casualties!

After all, the paper strength of the new human civilization is really inferior to the opponent.

"If we really go to war, how much loss are we willing to bear?"

This is the first problem before us.

After some discussion, the 5% casualty rate is the bottom line for people. If the opponent really rushes in and fights, people will resist for a while at most, lose 5% of their troops at most, and then have to blow up the battle star , escaped completely.

Therefore, this is also the last round of psychological confrontation between each other!

Just block the opponent's impossibility to rush in, and fight directly!

Of course, for now, humans still have the possibility of winning the bet. This Apollo civilization has been hesitating on the edge of the border, which shows that the other party has a lot of concerns. And the other party doesn't know whether humans have more cards, they just want to get the most benefits...

Bright light clusters are shining in the universe, and some people will lose their lives because of it...

"But so what?"

Zhang Yuan sighed softly, in a war, someone always dies, so how can there be any reason to fantasize about immortality?

Even if humans have virtual world technology, it is impossible to directly transfer the soldier's consciousness to the computer at the moment of death.

Awareness upload is very demanding on the environment and requires a few minutes of preparation time. Moreover, the self-awareness of human beings is still far from the level of teleportation, so once the spaceship is blown up, the probability of death is extremely high!

But if you want to win this war, you must be tough, so that you can show that you have a bigger hole card!

"Hey, this kind of performance can't be too rough, causing the other party to retaliate regardless of the cost, it's difficult!"

After another half a quarter of an hour, the war gradually stopped, and the unmanned spaceships of the Apollo civilization staying in the air defense identification zone were cleared up by the new human civilization. This is a rare big victory.

After cleaning up these drones, the new human's large flagship also hurried back.

"Everyone, the battle report is out!"

The captain suddenly spoke, and the audience fell silent for an instant.

The loss of humanity is shown on the screen.

Because it was a sudden war, it came and went quickly, and the damage to humans was not great. In addition to the loss of some drones, 6 escort-class ships and a cruiser-class spaceship were destroyed.

A cruiser-class spaceship can at least carry a population of more than 20,000, which can be regarded as a relatively large combat unit. However, in this operation, this spaceship was not manned, but rushed to the forefront and controlled by artificial intelligence to attract the opponent's curvature-seeking missiles.

Sure enough, the large spaceship was completely destroyed by the curvature missile.

In addition, the loss of 6 escort ships means that at least 600 officers were killed or injured on the human side, and the probability of death is far greater than that of injuries.

Rescue is too difficult, less than one in a hundred can survive the destroyed state of the spaceship.

Seeing these casualties, Zhang Yuan sighed again and observed three minutes of silence.

On the other hand, the new humans have achieved more battle results. In addition to destroying some enemy spaceships, they also destroyed a large drone center station, which was a high-tech platform that was blown to ashes by the "Planet Buster".

This is a big guy, worth much more than a cruiser-class spaceship.

"Sure enough... the attacking side does have a greater advantage. This is a big victory!"

"Don't be blindly optimistic. The comparison of the strengths of the two sides has not shown a significant reversal... After that, the other party may retaliate against us."

"There is nothing to discuss until now, let's continue with the next plan!"

Zhang Yuan urged: "Issue an ultimatum to them quickly."

"Yeah, write an ultimatum. We can't delay!"

Just like that, Captain Feng bit the bullet, wrote an ultimatum, and asked the staff in the communication room to send it.

[Ultimatum! 】

[Apollo Civilization has caused troubles and provocations near our alliance's air defense identification zone for three years due to unprovoked reasons... After repeated warnings have failed, here is an ultimatum! 】

[Our side requests that all troops be withdrawn from our air defense identification zone within three months! 】

It is also stated later that if the Apollo civilization does not leave immediately, the consequences of a full-scale war caused by it will be borne by the other party alone, such as threats.

[One mistake, everything is lost, the Apollo civilization had better rein in the precipice when there is still a chance to save it! 】

[If you insist on going your own way, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history! Don't say it's unexpected! 】

In the end, he changed the subject again and softened it up, saying that if there are any problems with the "extra color paper", it can be discussed again.

It's just a very simple sentence, which reveals the meaning of the negotiation.

"If the other party is not a fool, they should be able to see the meaning of the new humans: either hurry up to start the fight, or hurry up to negotiate. If you don't fight and don't negotiate, I will come up and fight."

There are some hidden meanings in this ultimatum. The first is the use of the word "Alliance", which used to be called the new human civilization. This is the first time in history that "Alliance" has been used.

Anyway, let the other party guess what happened!

The second is to give the other party a three-month buffer time instead of letting the other party withdraw within a day or two. There is still room for negotiation in the middle. Anyway, it is to allow time for negotiations.

Of course, there is the meaning of "pulling the banner and pulling the tiger's skin" here. The natural allies of the new human civilization are near the solar system more than 1,400 light-years away, and their combat effectiveness is unknown. At most, they are some third-level civilizations, and they are really useless in a fight.

There is also an ally at the military level, that is, the Toss civilization that is developing silently, and it is also 400 light-years away from here. Toss civilization doesn't even know about it yet!

All in all, this is a semi-threatening letter.

How will the other party react?

I don't know, I really don't know.

After kicking the "ball" to the opponent, Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and swallowed.

Now the opponent's spacecraft is even farther away from the human base camp. The distance of 4 astronomical units is actually quite far away, which is equivalent to the distance between the earth and Jupiter. Even with the observation equipment in the power armor, it is difficult to see the appearance of the opponent's large flagship.

He suddenly realized that he broke out in a cold sweat unknowingly.

People don't know the specific situation of each other, everything is a gamble.

But the other party does not know the specific situation of human beings, so it is equivalent.

"Faced with this ultimatum, how will they react?"
