Him and their stars

The territory of the Iron Army Complex is very small, and the number of galaxies it controls is only one-third of that of the Blue Star Community. There is no way, the birthplace of the Palla people is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage.

The advantage is that their home star and several surrounding galaxies are quite rich in resources. They even managed to find a small Gaia planet in a galaxy that jumped three times from their home star, which can be said to be a unique start.

The disadvantage is that their start may be too unique. In addition, due to the special racial form of the Pallai people, they have been ostracized a lot in external exchanges. They even thought of closing the door and living directly, and there was no need to open up and expand. So positive.

By the time they reacted, the spheres of influence of the two poles had blocked all their ways to expand outward. At that time, it was already the late stage of the Age of Interstellar Discovery. Although the Galactic Civilization Parliament had not been established, the first galactic war launched by the Empire and the Alliance was nearing its end. The two hegemonies found that neither one could kill the other. Since we are all human beings, it was better to hold our noses and draw up a rule. This is what decent people do... If other races and civilizations do not agree, then join forces to send them away This is the honor of going to the Universal Spirit and serving truth.

Of course, the people of Palla did not want to be respected, so they had no choice but to participate in the conference of galactic civilizations led by the Empire and the Alliance. The basic territories of the major political systems in the Galaxy were also formulated at the famous "Huaxu Conference".

No matter how hard the Iron Army Alliance argued, they could only get such a small amount of territory. This also determines the upper limit of the development of their civilization to some extent.

In addition to territory, population is also a big issue. So far, the population of the Pallai tribe in the entire galaxy is less than 20 billion, and they are indeed a minority. And we need to know that in this idealistic world, the number of extraordinary beings is always proportional to the population. A sparse population, of course, means that there are few extraordinary people, and it is almost impossible to give birth to those strong people who can single-handedly suppress a lifetime. At the same time, there are fewer resources in the field of mysticism.

If we say that in the age of interstellar navigation, the Palla people could still compete with the two hegemons, but now they are no longer on the same level. If the Pallai clan, which only has a mere 20 billion, wants to continue to survive, of course it can only continue to develop along with its already mature combat robot technology, and the road is dark.

For this goal, they can pay any price. Even if they are not welcomed by the idealistic idiots who dominate the galactic civilization, they can only grit their teeth and persevere.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian couldn't help but admire him: "It's really not easy for you!"

"We are not working hard. Anyway, we are just improving our 'clothes'. That cannot be regarded as violating the ban of the Civilized Parliament." General Griffiths was much more open-minded than expected.

Yes, after all, they didn't insert chips and steel plates into their green caterpillar-like bodies, so that's not considered prosthetic transformation.

"In comparison, those pioneers worked really hard. I respect them very much." The general added.

Those pioneers? Yu Lian thought about it and realized that he should be talking about the members of the Omnic Brotherhood.

There have been rumors circulating in the universe that the Iron Army Complex is admitting those who have been transformed into prosthetics by the Galactic Civilization Council as "criminals who abuse forbidden technologies" and is also providing shelter to these "criminals who blaspheme the truth of life". Of course, the Palladium people never admitted it.

However, Yu Lian knew that the people in Pallai were much more exaggerated than these rumors. Within the territory of the Iron Army Complex, there are at least double digit cities where more than a million Cyborgs have settled.

Of course, the Empire and the Alliance must also know about this kind of thing, and the Iron Army also knows that they know it, but everyone has a tacit agreement not to mention it.

"Do you know Mr. Trend?" Yu Lian asked.

"Trend? Who is that? Is he famous?" General Griffith looked at Yu Lian, his electronic eyes flashed with inorganic light, and his electronic voice showed no fluctuation.

Yu Lian confirmed that General Griffith would come to seek cooperation. In addition to his halo of being the chosen champion, he would most likely be recommended by Mr. Trend. In addition, he also confirmed once again that the Pallai people are really an honest and frank people, and they are really not good at lying.

"You really don't look like a psychic." Yu Lian smiled.

In this world, those who are most disgusted with prosthetics are actually those spiritual (meow) cultivating groups with original religious beliefs. These organizations often have a long history, are famous and influential, and have affected the outlook of subsequent psykers to some extent.

"Hey, I didn't want to be a psyker myself, it was just a coincidence." General Griffith said.

This Versailles set was too low-end, but Yu Lian believed that this guy definitely didn’t mean it. As a weak believer who uses externally powered armor as if it were the same as his own body, he might not really see the significance of psychic powers.

"Besides, I'm just an ordinary psyker. Colonel, you are a psionic genius who only happens once in four thousand years. Aren't you also... uh, so unruly?" the general asked again.

"Four thousand years? What the hell is this?"

Then, the general used his iron arm to pop up a light screen, which was a huge news headline, called "The Genius Who Comes Once in 4,000 Years Conquers the Galaxy and Wins the God's Chosen Champion".

This is simply a public execution!

After a casual glance, he knew which third-rate tabloid on Earth it was, but after seeing it, Yu Lian still wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl down and pour some neutron star matter into the stomachs of that tabloid, from the boss to the editor.

Well, carrying the whole valley battle by one person is very shocking, but this is due to combat experience rather than genius. It is indeed remarkable to enter the fourth ring at the age of twenty-two. It can be considered a rapid progress, but it is not that there are no geniuses at the same level. The opposite Shameen is even one year younger than him.

Moreover, in history, there has never been a shortage of geniuses who have become invincible across the galaxy in their teens, who have climbed to the top and are on the side of truth at the age of twenty, and who have conquered the entire world!

Even the nationalist media of several communities that regard themselves as role models for the youth of the earth do not dare to boast like this.

...Tsk, it must be someone who has a grudge against me who is planning to kill me.

Fortunately, it was just a third-rate tabloid that even Yu Lian himself had never heard of. Otherwise, his own threshold would have been stepped down by all kinds of challengers.

"This title may be an exaggeration, but it also reflects a little bit of public opinion. This is why I think your future is worth looking forward to, and that's why I want to reach a certain cooperative relationship with you." General Griffith's electronic eyes flashed quickly , seems to be expressing excitement in this way: "Now it seems that this cooperative relationship will only be the beginning."

"Yes! This is indeed a very good start. General, I am now very much looking forward to the future of this galaxy."

In the following time, General Griffith continued to dig his grave, and Yu Lian continued to work on him. He visited General Kebed's construction site with great interest every day until he completed the work here. , led the team directly to the south of the cross-rift valley.

This time Yu Lian did not follow, and General Kebed finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, despite being happy, he also felt a subtle sense of loss.

In fact, Yu Lian is really not very interested in this future famous general. Just being able to observe up close how the Imperial garrison constructs planetary defense positions is enough.

It must be said that because the empire has always had a kind of virtue that I don’t care about, Yu Lian’s gains are actually very good.

Facing the defense line in the direction of land warfare...that's it. Anyway, the whole universe has the same virtue. However, the artillery positions used to fight enemy ships in outer space were arranged almost perfectly by Commodore Kebed.

Their position was completed in complete accordance with the imperial artillery drill code, and was meticulous. The artillery fire of various types, power and ranges is distributed in a very hierarchical manner, which can form a wave of firepower against enemy ships approaching the planet. In addition, the position arrangement has also been carefully designed. It is located within a wide range of hundreds of kilometers around Crystal City. It is difficult to be wiped out by orbital bombing from outer space, but it can attack all the enemies that appear in the sky above the northern hemisphere. enemy ships form a strike.

It took Brigadier General Kebed less than a planet to successfully turn half of the planet into a hedgehog that even a lion could not eat.

Of course, this refers to the case where there are less than ten enemy ships in outer space, and the maximum tonnage is a light cruiser. If a Dreadnought arrives in low-Earth orbit, it won't make much difference no matter how the anti-aircraft firepower is arranged on the ground.

The best way to secure a planetary base is to achieve complete victory in fleet battles in space.

Of course, during the exercise, it is almost impossible for a large-scale fleet battle to break out on the Sarna planet, or even for a double-digit squadron to transit.

At this time, Major Poppas had returned from General Griffith. He still remembered that he was also a member of the observation group, but he was much more dedicated than the Palladium people. After observing the prepared positions with Yu Lian, the major couldn't help but sigh heavily: "The really scary thing is that the Imperial Army doesn't mind us observing at all. They know that we can't learn from it."

A discerning person can only take a quick look at the layout of each gun emplacement on the position, and then feel that he can do it himself.

But in fact, this is a structural gap caused by all aspects of military organization, quality of soldiers, technology, weapons and equipment, and the execution ability of officers at all levels.

"If our army also wants to achieve this step..." Major Poppas, as the Marine Corps staff officer, thought for a while and said in a tone that seemed to comfort himself: "If we can complete the information according to the information recorded today, There are still a few divisions that can achieve this level of equipment.”

"A country as big as this always needs a few road specimens, but if it cannot be institutionalized and normalized, it will only be enough for the fun of the Lords of the Earth." Yu Lian said with a smile.

Major Poppas didn't know what expression to use in response for a moment, so he could only squeeze out a stiff smile.

"Institutionalized progress, of course, requires institutionalized reform." Yu Lian smiled again.

"...You're talking about the military?"

"Of course it's the army. Or what else? When I become marshal, I will definitely promote the institutional reform of the entire army. For such a big event, you can't be absent when the time comes." Yu Lian smiled: " You don’t think that I can’t even be a marshal, do you?”

"That's for sure. If you can't do it, then no one can." Major Poppas took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, then responded with a dry smile.

The artillery position here has been completed, and the red soldiers belonging to this side have also entered a state of full alert during war. As for the "Honorable Mission" military exercise, it was about to break out. Yu Lian then remembered that two of the four members of his observation group were wandering around outside without doing their job, so he sent a message to Feifei first.

"How's it going over there?"

"Are you asking about the construction status of resorts and amusement parks, or something else?" Feifei on the screen moved aside, revealing the scene behind her.

It can be seen that in the lakeside valley between the mountains, there is still a busy construction scene. On the flat land by the lake, a building with more than ten floors and forty to fifty meters in length and width has taken shape. It can be seen that it is a very typical imperial palace style city hall, and it is also the favorite residence of the nobles. .

In addition, auxiliary buildings and gardens surrounding the city pavilion are also under construction.

On the top of the mountain farther away, I don’t know when several elegant villas have been built. They are located in the lush mountains and forests, which is quite a bit like a fairy tale world.

Automatic construction machinery is laying the cable car between the city hall at the bottom of the mountain and the villas on the mountain. It can be seen that once completed, the flat land by the lake and the surrounding mountains and forests will be organically integrated and become part of this resort center.

Further to the other side of the lake, beyond the hazy lake surface and fog, you can see more construction sites, and even a steel frame as tall as a building has been erected. It can be seen that they should be the main body of large-scale amusement facilities in amusement parks.

"In addition to the amusement park, we are also planning to build a shopping mall there, which can be integrated with the amusement park." Feifei said with a smile: "Once completed, it should not be much worse than the Universal Park on the moon."

That is! The alliance is the expert in this kind of leek-cutting behavior that combines entertainment, shopping, dining and hotels. If it were me, I would simply build a ferry line from here to the other side of the lake. The fare will not be charged when I go there, and the ferry ticket will be sold three times when I come back.

"Of course, it's definitely not as good as the one in Tianyu." Feifei said again, and then wiped away the non-existent tears: "But I haven't been there yet, but some people have been there with other girls. Yes. Fish, what kind of behavior is this?"

This...hasn't this been explained before? It’s all for the national destiny of the people on earth.

Yu Lian pretended not to hear and said directly: "What about the others?"

Feifei calmed down her expression and lowered her voice: "The investigation is still continuing. The last Earl of Salvin left behind more stuff than we imagined. Over the past week, we have dug out several things in the lake. It’s a hidden crypt. I’ve gained a lot, but I think it’s not the kind of gain you and Yani want.”
