Him and their stars

Old Man Tuhan did not immediately answer Yu Lian's question, and added: "In addition, there are more than one million tons of various aviation metal materials, as well as various auxiliary maintenance robots. They are all necessary consumables for long-term aviation. We also have There will be two mobile docks and at least eight large multi-functional maintenance ships on standby there. This is not my boast. When it comes to the level of emergency repairs, the level of our Tuhan people is actually not lower than that of the Pallai people. Guizhou The damage to the military warship is not serious, and it will only take 20 hours at most to recover."

Yu Lian and Luo Zeshi exchanged a look, and the latter immediately nodded confidently.

Yu Lian knew that the other party wanted to say that if repairs were really needed, he would lead people to keep an eye on it, and the Tuhan people would definitely not be able to do anything.

"Are you preparing these supplies just for the victors?" Yu Lian said with a smile.

"You are right." The old man squeezed out a wry smile: "However, there is also a plan specially prepared for you... Tomorrow, we will mount all seven battle cruisers, as well as large and medium-sized ships above heavy cruisers. Go to the free arms market. Then, the Circassian Kingdom and the Iron Army Complex should buy them all at a low price soon."

This time, Yu Lian was really surprised. Of course, Luo Zeshi was actually more shocked than him.

"Your Excellency, you are really ready to give up national defense!"

"Marshal's national defense is rubbish! The empire's fleet has already arrived at Tubota, and why are you talking about national defense?" The gentle and elegant Marshal Tan Bo cursed viciously: "So, it's all plundering. Hunter! Tell me, why did the empire dare to use the dreadnought to cross the Abyss Nebula? No matter how you think about it, it must be that the empire seized the star map from the plunderers and somehow dug it out of the ruins of the Enlightenment in the corner, right?"

Yu Lian secretly glanced at Xiao Hui who was eating melon in the corner, nodded and said: "The predators got the star map from a ruins in the center of the galaxy, and then they launched the two million light-year expedition. They started from the galactic center. If you can break through the Abyss Nebula with assembled goods in your mind, the Empire can naturally do the same."

The old commander of the Tuhan people twitched his cheeks and mouth mask, and sighed: "Yes, the empire is really good. We already know that we only need to defend the two galaxy passes in the high seas area, and we can defeat the Blue Star We live our own lives in the territory of our territory. We Turanka people really have no ambitions, we just want to grasp this small but tangible happiness. However, the imperial fleet really appeared from the hinterland of our territory, and then We broke through all the way to Tubota. Obviously all this is the fault of the predators! It is the fault of the remaining Ero people!"

There is a saying that the Erro people and the looters have some blame to bear, but the bigger problem obviously lies with the empire, right?

"General Yu, when six Flame Dragons and four Phoenixes suddenly appeared in the sky above Tubota, we had no choice."

"So, you are offering your loyalty to Emperor Elisir?" Yu Lian asked.

He showed an expression of shame and anger: "The empire does not threaten us, at least not on the surface. That Admiral Mergash was even very polite. He just hoped that the Turank Coordinating Minister State could provide the empire with three things in future wars. It’s nothing more than years of military communication rights, as well as convenience in supply and maintenance. Therefore, he brought us 40 billion imperial gold dragons in aid, plus the biogas and deep pool processing technology that we urgently needed.”

Is this the legendary saying that as long as a problem can be solved with money, it is definitely not a problem? To be honest, this can indeed be considered a big deal! If it were the Dukes of Gungun on the other side of the earth, they might not be able to get it even if they have money.

"However, when the fleet appeared in Tubota, everything was lost. General Yu, Tuhan people are not human beings. Even in several galactic wars, we have always been cautious. We are a neutral country and have become accustomed to a long period of peace. We don't know how to fight against the threat of the empire, so we can only listen to the instructions of Admiral Mogash." The old commander from Tanbo looked at Yu Lian with a look in his eyes. A little embarrassed.

Speaking of which, where did you hear the name of the Imperial Commander? Where is it? Yu Lian began to think seriously, but for a long time he was unable to extract effective information from the ravines in the cerebral cortex.

That’s all, I’ve killed so many people, and my enemies are all over the universe, so I can’t everyone remember them.

Luo Zeshi also raised his own doubts: "But, the Galactic Empire would actually ask a marshal to serve as a dead soldier? They are overbearing, they are arrogant, they are even cruel, but they rarely do such unethical actions."

Yu Lian smiled and said: "Yes, even if the people of Tiruluo fish all the water, they will definitely choose sustainability."

The empire is about to accept the Tuhan people as dogs, but why humiliate them so much and make a marshal a dead soldier? The Tirero people may be the most powerful war-fighting nation in the universe, but they must also be the most particular about superiority and inferiority.

In a sense, they even hope that order can exist more than the profiteers of the alliance.

Then, I heard Old Man Tuhan say: "So, this is actually what I requested. The empire only requested that some tricks be done when piloting through the Hanwang Star Gorge. For example, let our navigator carry the space talisman they gave us. The warship of your country that Yin boarded. Or, in other words, they brought the supply ship over under the banner of the Labor Army. What they wanted was to let the Astral Knights raid the bridge of the flagship. As for the method, they actually didn't care. However, I feel that it is difficult for the supply ship or pilot ship of the Labor Army, or even ordinary envoys, to board the flagship of your army."

"You are honest."

"General Yu Lian, it's actually not easy to be a small country."

"You are not a small country." Yu Liandao said.

One thing to say is that although the territory of Coordinating Minister Turan's country is not large, its population is not large, and its military scale is not large, its technical and economic levels are still very high.

In addition, as an immortal species, the Tuhan people can also be regarded as a psychically friendly race.

Although such a country cannot compete for hegemony, it can still serve as a very important weight in the scale of galactic power, and it can also sit in the second row of the Galactic Civilization Council.

"No, we are just a small country. A small country has few people and weak soldiers. We can barely live by relying on a little geographical advantage. We have known before that if a race like ours participates in the struggle for hegemony among human powers, The Eredar elves and the Falfur draconians are our fate!"

Well, the Eredar elves and the Falfur dragons are also psychically friendly races of the Immortal species, and everyone knows their situation. The former no longer have a country, and most of the eredar elves are just a minority group raised as mascots within the alliance. The latter is not only a psychically friendly race, but also rich in top alchemy technicians and warriors. However, the situation is even worse, and the entire race has even disappeared in the rolling torrent of galactic history.

"We really just want to live our own lives, but Tirello needs to clear our borders. When we sneak attack on you, we have no room to resist." Marshal Tan Bo said: "General Yu Lian, do you know that the empire is here? When our fleet reacted, it had already completed an orbital airborne landing on Tubota and disarmed the Capital Guard. Now, Tubota still has more than 20,000 Imperial armored grenadiers controlling various key facilities in the capital. Yeah. There was at least one guard at the door of the old private house alone."

"Now that your dignitaries and people are under control, can you still prepare the supplies and maintenance fleet in the KL50 galaxy?"

"Those supplies can be used by whoever is the winner. We just have them there." The old marshal grinned again with a sad smile: "Of course, I also secretly informed our military before setting off. If The empire failed, so we will deal with all the large warships that can threaten your country. It just so happens that the Circassians have always wanted to rebuild their fleet, and the Palla people of the Iron Army also have the same needs. Bar."

Yu Lian really felt a lot of respect for this old man for a moment. You know, he did have the idea of ​​killing the Tuhan people's seven battle cruisers before. It is indeed a bit risky to attack Tubota from the King of Kings Gap, but you can find a way to attack the minister's outer star systems and trade routes on the high seas, force its fleet to leave the homeland, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop.

However, in this way, it will be difficult to reach Nantianmen within the scheduled time, and it will inevitably encounter other uncontrollable unexpected risks.

Even Yu Lian was inevitably a little hesitant.

However, they never expected that the person who helped them solve this problem would be Tu Hanren themselves. If those seven battle cruisers fall into the hands of a friendly neutral country like the Circassian Kingdom, which has a big enmity with the empire, or a friendly neutral country like the Iron Army Consortium, it will bring some strategic advantages.

"Turank Coordinating Minister's country has lost its geographical advantage. It is almost impossible to ensure national security. It is better to go to the extreme. General Yu Lian, it is difficult for a small country to build a wall between big countries. One mistake is It will offend both parties. However, if the small country takes both paths to the extreme when riding on the wall, it can be considered a solution."

"It's a very smart approach. Putting aside the position, I admire your country and your Excellency's decision very much." Yu Lian expressed his agreement: "However, in front of the empire, the Blue Star Community is not a big country. "

"...At least at this moment, the Blue Star Community does have the ability to compete militarily. This is a position that we Tuhan people cannot achieve no matter how hard we try."

"While our fleet is receiving repairs and supplies in the KL50 galaxy, I will have time to observe the movements of your country's main warships."

"You will see developments that satisfy you." Marshal Tan Bo's smile showed a hint of calmness: "Of course, you can only observe it yourself."

Yu Lian understood what the other party meant. A dignified marshal and military consul of a country, has degenerated into a terrorist. The fate of this old man was actually decided before this battle.

This will probably be the last time I see him.

Before Yu Lian stood up and left, Marshal Tan Bo said again: "General Yu, my colleagues will send you all the navigation information of the imperial fleet after it enters our country. In addition, those battleships of the empire, whether they surrendered It was still destroyed, so the logbook will be destroyed as soon as possible. However, they also accepted our short-term maintenance at Tubota. During this process, my colleagues should be able to do something, maybe keep some that can be used. Information, maybe you can still get some use for it."

Speaking of this, Marshal Tan Bo showed a nostalgic look: "Fifty years ago, I had a chat and laugh with Marshal Victoria Li once, and the teachings I received that time were truly unforgettable! I always wonder, what if that If you can live until now, no, even if you only live for ten more years, will the Blue Star community be different? If this universe has another style, another possible future. Wouldn't these things be different? It will happen. Does the empire no longer dare to use military blackmail so unscrupulously?"

Yu Lian glanced at the other person, stretched out his hand to shake the complicated old man's hand, but left without saying anything.

After leaving Marshal Tan Bo's room, Luo Zeshi asked again: "Do you still want to interrogate that astral knight?"

"It's not necessary. I've asked all the questions I can. Speaking of which, the Astral Knights are all imperial nobles with strong martial virtues. Even if one hand is short, there is no need to wear a lot of restraints. It would be unseemly."

"Understood, I will show him dignity in a moment." Luo Zeshi said without joy or sorrow.

Yu Lian didn't want to know how to translate this so-called "respectability". After a short silence, he said: "Come to think of it, Chester, what do you think about this matter?"

"I feel that no matter what, we cannot let the people on earth be as hopeless as the Tuhan people. If the spirit of the community really sinks to this point, all our efforts will be a joke."

"...Well, what I said was very spirited and reasonable, but it was a bit heartbreaking."

"Yeah, so I didn't say it in front of the poor old man."

"However, what I am asking you is not this, but the current situation."

"Then I think that with the empire's behavior, they will never be accused of undeclared war. Moreover, they will never play idle chess. They must have launched an offensive on this front. Maybe they will wait until When we resumed communication with the outside world, we found that the Milky Way was on fire from all sides."

"The Milky Way will not be at war everywhere, but the community is likely to be. This is true from Terra to the New World." Yu Lian sighed: "However, compared to the Far Coast Sector and Nantianmen, which are directly under the military pressure of the empire, What I am most worried about is the main force of the expedition fleet in the New World."

Luo Zeshi said: "I understand what you mean. But right now, we cannot control the situation in the New World. We still need to rush to Nantianmen to join the outer ring fleet as soon as possible while maintaining vigilance."

"When you don't know what to do, the original plan is the best plan. Is that right?"

"No, it's mainly because the Outer Rim Fleet is the friendly force group closest to us, the strongest, and the most capable. Only by staying together can we feel safe and consider the next step."

"I didn't expect you to be a pessimist." Yu Lian sneered.

"No, Comrade Chairman, you are a typical pessimist, and I am just a realist with no emotions."

"Okay, let's stick to the original plan. Thanks to the empire's interception, it will only delay three more days at most. If nothing happens later, we can still get back to Nantianmen as expected."

"Understood, I will make arrangements now."

Before he left, Yu Lian suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, have we forgotten something?"

Luo Zeshi thought for a moment with doubt on his face, and said distressedly: "There should indeed be one, but I can't even remember it. It shouldn't be anything important."

"Then let's do the important things first."

"clear."

In a luxurious ward on board the Fuxi, Admiral Ferragut, who had slept for a long time, touched the healed scar on his head, stared at the unknown ceiling, and after a few minutes of silence, tilted his head and spoke again. He fell asleep without hesitation.
