Mecha and Knife

Empire Star, King's Landing City.

It got its name because Emperor Wu I set foot here two hundred years ago.

After Emperor Wu I occupied Junlin City, it only took five years to conquer the second largest land area on the Empire Star.

Therefore, since King's Landing City had this name, it has been the most powerful city on this continent. And this continent, because of the name Junlin City, became the Junlin Continent.

And today, two hundred years later, Aida Kang also set foot in the Junlin Continent.

Its goal, like its grandfather, is to conquer this continent.

After three years of fighting, Idacon has conquered the other continents of the Empire Star, or in other words, wiped out all the rebels on the other continents who dared to stand up.

Of the nine continents of the Empire Star, only the last one still has the strength of the rebels. It can also be said that all the remnants of the rebels on the other continents have all been transferred to the Junlin Continent.

This made the situation in Jun's Landing Continent look very dangerous to the empire, because on Jun's Landing Continent, except for Jun's Landing City, which was almost identical in structure to Emperor Wu's City and was managed militarily, all other cities were occupied by rebels.

However, Aida Kang didn't panic at all.

Because it is very clear that the reason why those rebels were able to smoothly transfer from other continents to the Junlin Continent was not because the empire had no defenses and countermeasures, but because of Emperor Wudi III's plan.

An all-out war will cause the flames of war to spread to every city, affecting the national strength of the entire empire.

Instead of this, it is better to let all the nobles, commoners, and slaves who have the courage to resist the rule of Emperor Wudi III be transferred to the mainland of King's Landing.

In the end, it will be done in one battle.

And now is the beginning of the battle.

It is said that this plan was proposed by Li Zhengfan.

Thinking of this, Aida Kang sneered, it could guess what Li Zhengfan was thinking.

It sounds like there is no problem with this plan. The spread of the war is indeed not easy to extinguish, because the high-handed rule of Emperor Wu III has already made countless orangutans and monkeys dissatisfied. Don't bear it.

And when the brave stand up, countless cowards will become brave.

Let the flames of war spread, countless cities in the Nine Continents will ignite countless fires called resistance. Even with the power controlled by Emperor Wudi III, they can still be completely extinguished, and it will take longer time and consume more national power .

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. This plan, which is beneficial to Emperor Wu III, also has some disadvantages, the most important of which is that it will buy more time for the rebels to develop.

All the high technology of the empire, including weapons, its research and development, manufacturing, and mass production are all in the hands of Emperor Wudi III.

The weapons used by the rebels at the beginning, in addition to conventional firearms and artillery shells, are tanks, armored vehicles, and mechs, not to mention weapons such as space battleships and orbital ballistic missiles. There are not many medium and long-range ballistics and fighter jets.

As for military satellites, there are none.

All military satellites controlled by the rebels will be ruthlessly destroyed by the empire.

From this point of view, the state of the Rebel Army on the Empire Star is very similar to the state of the Empire Army on the Alien Star, without air supremacy.

But in fact, it is far inferior. At least when the imperial army is on the alien planet, it can still use a large number of medium and long-range ballistic missiles. Occasionally, it can also conduct high-altitude and space reconnaissance through space battleships during the breakout process, and sneakily release some military satellites. , briefly providing some support to the imperial army.

How to fight such a rebel army?

It can only rely on the city to fight street battles with the imperial army, so as to avoid the empire's air superiority and firepower superiority.

Logically speaking, the rebel army should persist in this combat method for a long time, and wait for the opportunity to obtain the scientific research and production power that only Emperor Wudi III could control before, but the rebel army did not do so.

Because they have.

What Dongguo Cilian obtained from the Federation was not only a few high-yield nuclear weapons, but also all kinds of scientific and technological knowledge reverse-engineered by the Federation from the seized high-tech spoils of the empire.

Therefore, Li Zhengfan's plan can be seen as buying time for the rebels to master those technological knowledge and transform it into productive force.

It can also be seen as a huge gamble.

Knowing what kind of military power Emperor Wudi III possessed, Li Zhengfan bet that the rebel army would be able to master enough military power to keep the rebel army from being completely wiped out before they were completely wiped out.

In the end, the empire will be plunged into the quagmire of war.

this human...

"General."

Aida Kang's thinking was interrupted. After returning to the Empire Star, he still liked the title of General.

Staff report: "Our 327th Group Army was attacked by a medium-range ballistic missile from the rebel army during the march, and the casualties were not large. But we can now confirm that the medium-range ballistic missile used by the rebel army did not come from us. They stole it, they made it."

Edakon frowned.

The rebel army launched resistance wars all over the empire. It was based on the army controlled by some nobles, and naturally had some weapons. In the process of resistance, there were also some victories, and some high-tech weapons of the empire were obtained as spoils of war.

However, these are all rootless apples.

After losing the support of the empire, neither the army nor the military factories have full production capacity, and most of the military factories have been bombed and destroyed by the empire.

Therefore, this war has come to an end.

But it is different now, the rebels have mastered the ability to manufacture medium-range ballistic missiles.

"How's the speed?"

"Hypersonic."

"Hehe, the Federation is really willing to invest."

Aida Kang sneered.

In the face of supersonic medium-range ballistic missiles, if they cannot be intercepted in the early stage of launch, the success rate of interception in the middle and later stages will be greatly reduced.

Although the Empire has the air supremacy, theoretically it can accurately target the launch base of the rebel army in the early stage of missile launch, but the rebel army has a miniaturized jump gate device.

This is a bit like a war on an alien battlefield. The number of missiles and other weapons of the Federation is far inferior to that of the empire, which is convenient to supply due to the long logistics supply line. It can only rely on air supremacy to make up for it.

However, after the Empire began to use miniaturized jump gate devices on Alien Planet, the Federation's air supremacy advantage dropped significantly.

The staff said: "Actually, we don't need to worry about this. Now we have focused all our attention on the King's Landing Continent. The research and development and production bases they hide will soon be completely destroyed by our precise locations.

Including those R\u0026D and production bases located in cities, we can also use precision strikes combined with orbital airborne mech combat tactics to destroy them. It won't take long for the general to completely conquer Jun's Landing Continent. "

The empire has already mastered the orbital airborne technology of mechs. This technology is actually not difficult to achieve. They cannot do this on alien planets, just because they do not have air supremacy, and the imperial star's air supremacy is in the hands of the empire, and the rebels are powerless at all. resist.

"Don't worry?"

Aidakang asked with a cold face: "What if the Federation gave Dongguo Cilian not only nuclear weapons, but also the technology to manufacture nuclear weapons?"

With the manufacturing capability of medium-range ballistic missiles, it will not be too difficult to manufacture intercontinental ballistic missiles.

The industrial capacity of the empire itself has already reached this level, and there are many, many monkeys among the rebels, coupled with the technical support of the Federation, and the industrial foundation that the rebels have obtained in King's Landing.

There is a good chance that nuclear war will happen on the Empire star.

As for the problem of not being able to strike precisely because there are no satellites... nuclear weapons, is it important to be precise or not?

After pondering for a moment, the staff said: "Theoretically speaking, this possibility does exist, because nuclear weapons are a technology we have already mastered, and the Federation does not need to worry about Dongguo Cilian handing over this technology to us. Yes, none of the technologies mastered by the rebels surpasses ours. They are all backward, and they are all technologies based on our technologies, which do not involve the technologies that we have not mastered in the Federation.

However, I don't think the Federation will hand over nuclear weapon manufacturing technology to Dongguo Cilian, because this technology is too important to Dongguo Cilian, and he will definitely choose to exchange it with information that is equally important to the Federation.

I think it should be the precise coordinates of our jump base in Battle Scar Canyon. But after Dongguo Cilian returned to the jump base, we activated the countermeasures. Dongguo Cilian had no chance to pass the precise coordinates to the federation. Similarly, the federation also had no chance, and would not hand over the nuclear weapon manufacturing technology to Dongguo Cilian. "

Aidakang also knew this, but when it thought of Li Zhengfan's plan, it felt that the Federation might have given Dongguo Cilian the nuclear weapon manufacturing technology. Compared to orangutans, Li Zhengfan, a human being, knew humans better.

Nuclear war.

It is also afraid.

Because after its Prince Armor was captured by Ji Xinghe, only the Duke Armor could be used. He wanted to build another Prince Armor using tungsten steel gold as the body material, but was ordered to stop it by Emperor Wudi III.

It has enough tungsten steel, but it doesn't know how to make a prince's armor. It can only make regular-level standard mechas.

Without Prince A, nuclear weapons can't be stopped, so we can't live in an underground bunker all the time.

So, Aida Kang hesitated again.

The way to avoid nuclear war is very simple, that is to wipe out all the main force of the rebel army before the rebel army has the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons and intercontinental missiles.

In the end, even if there are some hard-to-extinguish fires left, it is impossible to trigger a nuclear war again.

But it also knows that after the civil war in the empire is over, its value to Emperor Wudi III will drop significantly, and its fate will...

"General."

There is new information coming.

"A minute ago, the Rebels used the full-channel broadcast mode to declare to the world that they wanted to free slaves and put forward the idea of ​​equal rights."

Free the slaves?

Affirmative thought?

This is really bad news, worse news than the rebels mastering nuclear weapons.

Without listening to the specific content, Aida Kang has already guessed the idea that the rebels want to express.

Although it scoffed at this, thinking that the nobles in the rebel army must be trying to attract more rebel forces to join them, but this kind of thinking is really dangerous for the empire.

So, is this the real reason why Li Zhengfan believes that the rebels will not be wiped out by the empire?

Edakon suddenly woke up.

Sure enough, humans understand humans better.

"That has nothing to do with us, from now on..."

Aida Kang's order could not be spoken, and was interrupted again, a communication from Emperor Wu III.

"His Majesty."

Aidakang noticed that Li Zhengfan was still standing beside Emperor Wudi III, not like a prisoner at all, like an important staff member.

"Ada Kang, you go to a different planet."

"yes."

Aida Kang didn't ask why, and agreed cleanly.

But what Emperor Wudi III said next surprised him.

"Ji Xinghe has returned to Alien Star, and once again made a request for a pre-battle challenge. The target he wants to challenge is you."

"Your Majesty, shall I accept his challenge?"

"Yes."

"But my mecha..." Aida Kang had to admit: "Without the prince's mecha, I am no match for him, because he must have the most powerful mecha in the entire Federation."

Emperor Wudi III laughed.

"The prince's mecha will be handed over to you for use."

Emperor A of the previous generation?

Although it is the previous generation, its overall performance is stronger than that of the Prince A used by Adakon before.

Aida Kang was extremely happy, but when he was about to make a promise, he suddenly hesitated.

Then he asked: "Your Majesty, can I use other means to directly kill Ji Xinghe?"

Emperor Wudi III did not respond, and watched Aida Kang silently, making Aida Kang a little ashamed.

It explained: "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of Ji Xinghe, but because Ji Xinghe has mastered the power of the gift, and his existence is a great threat to us. In order to solve this problem, I am willing to sacrifice own reputation."

Regarding the fact that Ji Xinghe had mastered the gift, Aidakang knew about it shortly after Emperor Wu III knew about it. Emperor Wu III did not keep it a secret, and he couldn't keep it completely secret, because the news came from the Federation.

Although Aidakang does not think that the Qi possessed by Ji Xinghe can be stronger than the Qi it possesses, nor does he think that the mecha possessed by Ji Xinghe can be stronger than the Emperor Armor it is about to get.

But Ji Xinghe's armor-piercing combat strength is too strong, and its advantages cannot be effectively utilized.

So, it's a little bit worrying.

"Your reputation is really not important." Emperor Wudi III said calmly: "But the reputation of the empire is more important than your life and death, Aida Kang, don't let me down."

Aida Kang was startled.

He could only bow his head and say, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will personally kill Ji Xinghe."

"kindness."

After the communication was hung up, Adakon began to hand over its command, which was very skillful, because it had done it once in Alien Star before.

Thinking of the upcoming Emperor A, and Ji Xinghe who is waiting for it to come to another star.

It hesitated again in its heart: should it kill Ji Xinghe, or find a way to get the gift power possessed by Ji Xinghe?

If I have the power of the gift, plus the power of the Imperial Star Rebel Army...

In the imperial palace in Emperor Wudi City, Li Zhengfan made a curious sound.

"Aren't you afraid that Aida Kang will not kill Ji Xinghe, but get the secret of the gift from Ji Xinghe, and then turn himself into the leader of the rebel army?"

Emperor Wudi III asked back: "Do you think Ji Xinghe is not Aida Kang's opponent?"

Li Zhengfan nodded and said: "Yes, didn't you already get the information? Ji Xinghe's new mecha was destroyed, and the mecha he can use now is either the previous God's Punishment Armor or the fourth-generation mecha. The Xingyue Armor may also be Han Li's Qingcheng Armor. But no matter which mecha it is, it can't compare to the Emperor Armor that you eliminated."

"Yes, Ji Xinghe does not have a mecha that can be compared to the emperor's armor, but..."

Emperor Wu III laughed: "If Aidakang hesitates, it will be killed by Ji Xinghe, if it does not hesitate, it will be able to kill Ji Xinghe."

"It turns out that it is a test for Adacon." Li Zhengfan asked: "So, if Adacon passes this test, you will pass on the power of the gift to it? After all, you don't need it anymore. gone."

"Yes, I will pass on the power of the gift to Adakon, and then let him perform the gift on my behalf to those loyal to my people."

After confirming Li Zhengfan's guess, Emperor Wudi III asked, "Don't you worry, after Ji Xinghe's death, you humans will no longer be able to obtain the power of the gift?"

"Why should you worry? Ji Xinghe was able to obtain the power of Qi from scratch, and now he has mastered the power of gift, so can others."

"For example, your younger brother, Li Yuanba?"

"Yes."

"Then let me tell you a secret." Emperor Wu III said with a smile: "After accepting the gift, it is impossible to control the power of the gift. Do you think Ji Xinghe will not give the gift to Li Yuanba and the others?"

Li Zhengfan frowned: "You have also received a gift, but now... no, what you have accepted is not a gift?"

"Yes, what I accept is not a gift, but... an inheritance!"

Emperor Wudi III looked at Li Zhengfan and said softly: "It's really a pity that Ji Xinghe, the greatest hero in your human world, personally destroyed those geniuses among your human beings. It's even more regrettable that he was destroyed by me." .”

Li Zhengfan finally understood.

Why in the three hundred years of the empire, so many orangutans have obtained the power of qi through gifts, and there are many members of the royal family among them, but the gifts are always in the hands of the emperor.

The rule of military dictatorship is to affect the spiritual will of the people of the empire, and the control of high technology is to prevent the people from wantonly using nuclear radiation for experiments. And the way to truly grasp the secret of the gift is actually what Emperor Wudi III just said: the life that has received the gift will never be able to grasp the power of the gift.

I really hope that Ji Xinghe can give fewer gifts to some people, so that more people can grasp the power of gifts.

Li Zhengfan sighed in his heart, and suddenly asked: "What if Ji Xinghe already knew this? Have you ever thought about why he dared to challenge Ada Kang without a mecha of the same level? And why did the Federation agree to let him launch this pre-death challenge before there is a second person with gifted power?"

Emperor Wudi III did not answer these questions, but said: "If Aidakang is dead, you can ask Ji Xinghe these questions yourself."

"You want me to go to another star again?" Li Zhengfan laughed: "It's meaningless, they all think I'm dead, as long as Li Anbang and Li Yuanba disagree that I am Li Zhengfan, then I am not Li Zhengfan .”

"You don't have to go to another star, but you have the opportunity to ask Ji Xinghe these questions." Emperor Wudi III said: "Because after Aida Kang's death, Ji Xinghe will come to Imperial Star."

Li Zhengfan was shocked.

"You want to give up the jump base in Battle Scar Canyon? No, you want that jump base and give it to the rebels?"
