Resurrection Empire

According to the channel exit selected by the Second Expeditionary Force, this leap voyage will last for 13 months.

At that time, this fleet will arrive at the extension of the main star area of ​​the Nanxiang star cluster, and then head for the resident star area of ​​the Golden Dog Pirates in the Broken Star Ring.

Even if Ren Zhong did some secrecy work, this route is not difficult to guess, and it only needs a simple calculation to see through it.

But on the other hand, under Liu An's final bet, Gruen Augustus used the Pacquiao pirates as a breakthrough to win over the five elders ahead of schedule.

Liu An made an offer that no one could refuse.

Once the five elders can handle the heavy burden, he will return the broken star ring to the imperial system after becoming a marquis, and at the same time canonize the five old people as the honorable viscount family, and divide the broken star ring into five, directly allocated as their territory.

Chapter 530 Differences

Long before Liu An succeeded to the throne, the Liu family of Nanxiang had actually manipulated the Broken Star Ring secretly for tens of thousands of years by means of remote control, but the methods were not as drastic as Liu An’s. Xinghuan's control strength is not as good as Liu An's.

It's not that Liu's predecessors can't do it, but it's unnecessary.

At that time, the Liu family of Nanxiang was not as strong as it is now, and it was still far away from the position of marquis, and it did not have the reputation of being one of the strongest earls in the empire. If it was too drastic, it would be easy to be jealous and attract criticism.

It wasn't until Liu An's generation that after many lifetimes of hard work, he was able to use all kinds of open, dark, loose, and tight strategies in unison, and only then did he have today. situation.

During the whole process of the continuous rise of the Liu family, the five elders have also undergone years of evolution, from being able to overwhelm the earl in the past, to finally having to surrender and hide.In fact, many people in power among the five elders have to face a cruel reality when they look back at history.

That is, the Pirate Group of the Five Elders, which sits in the bitter cold area of ​​the border, is stronger, more fighting spirit, and more potential in various aspects than the imperial civilians who live comfortably and enjoy themselves in the Nanxiang Star Cluster.It's a bit like when the empire's humans originated from the source star, it is rumored that people born in high-latitude bitter cold places are often better at fighting than those born in mid-low latitudes.

But the reason why the five elders seem powerless to resist the mighty Liu family is that apart from the fact that Nanxiang Liu's own ability and title are different, and they are not only better than Nanxiang Bo in the past, the core reason is that However, although the Broken Star Ring is extremely close to the Nanxiang star cluster, it has never been able to establish a warping subspace channel, and can only rely on ships to travel at speeds far below the speed of light, so it is simply excluded from the imperial system. In addition, there is no way to publicly obtain sufficient and comprehensive scientific and technological support, and there is no way to conduct business activities in a reasonable, legal and safe manner. They can only rely on the black market rules firmly controlled by Nanxiang Liu.

In the past, these people, even though their wealth was comparable to that of a top viscount, still had to be chased by gravitational disasters, abandoning their homes and fleeing for their lives, and drinking their hair and blood to rebuild their homes from scratch; there were no seasons of the year, causing the youngest sons of common people to fall ill frequently; There is no alternation of day and night, so the biological clock can only turn off the lights forever, but the electricity cost of lighting a light is much more expensive than others; there is no gravitational traction, which also leads to abnormal bone growth in most people. He is tall, but his bones are as brittle as pancakes. If he wants to train warriors, he has to spend energy and materials to build a gravitational platform, so that people can grow up on the gravitational platform; even breathing fresh air requires energy. cost.

All of the above are just a ten-thousandth of the countless miseries experienced by these border refugees.I really want to write the whole thing, and I have to write a long essay with less words.

If they are really low-level civilians, there is no hope at all, and they can only drift along ignorantly, with the only belief that they can live one more day, that's all.

But as long as there are people, there will be classes. As long as you stand in the position of the vested interest class, you will always desire to live better and get more.However, people in the five elders have no status, no household registration, and are not tolerated by the system, so they have no way to live better.

Therefore, Liu An's transfer of power is like completely opening the shackles that have shrouded the Broken Star Ring pirate group for countless years. There is great hope for those in power of the Five Elders living in poverty.

Therefore, it didn't take much effort, and under Gruen's joint vertical and horizontal forces, the five elder clans each sent out their troops and began to assemble a large army.

The rest of the other pirate groups in the Broken Star Ring have also been dormant for many years, and once again smashed all the wealth they have just saved, along the doughnut-like Broken Star Ring, or routinely fly, or borrow the warp subspace channel, Go to the assembly point mightily.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was fate in the dark. After careful calculation, the general headquarters built with the staff of the Pacquiao Pirates as the core quickly came to a conclusion. According to the calculation simulation, the coalition forces were just able to grab Complete the assembly of the army before the Chifeng Second Expeditionary Army passes in a straight line, and this assembly is not a point, but at the same time when they each arrive at the predetermined theater, it is just enough to form a complete blockade of the Chifeng Second Expeditionary Army in space. .

"Our luck is a little bit too good, or it may be that the responsibility is too stupid. In short, as long as his so-called transport team must continue to move forward, it will just fall into our pocket. Destiny is mine!"

Gruen Augustus said so.

Fording Pacquiao, who is in the main position and assumes the duty of commander-in-chief, did not laugh out loud, but frowned tightly, and only said: "Since we can all figure out the result, why did we calculate it in the past? Uncle Chi Feng, who has never made any mistakes, would not have thought of it? This is unreasonable, it always seems strange."

Uncle Chifeng Renzhong can have such power now, of course he can't be an idiot, if he dares to march like this, deliberately revealing a huge flaw, he must have something to rely on, and he has to guard against it.

But everyone understands the truth, but everyone really can't figure it out.

At this moment, the top agent holding the authorization letter of Nanxiang Bo Liu An suddenly said beside him: "The connection is successful. From now on, Marshal Pacquiao, you can use the combat command system of the military and political hub."

Fording Pacquiao was so overjoyed when he heard the words that he couldn't believe it. He only frowned and asked, "Are you sure? The system of the military and political hub? Will there be no problems? Uncle Chifeng is still..."

Fording couldn't finish his words, but was stopped by Gruen, who had already burned his brain with anger, "Uncle, you don't have to ask so many questions, just use it. Since Uncle Nanxiang has made this decision, he must He has his own considerations, and it's not for us servants to speculate."

It was the agent who understood it clearly, and said proactively, "Before I set off, the Earl had given orders. He told me that you might have doubts that would affect your judgment in combat. I can tell you very clearly, This is a genuine copy of the military combat command system, with complete functions. The authorization letter in my hand contains the key to link the Imperial Supernet communication network. Just now I have activated the information between this battleship and the Imperial Supernet Streaming communication function. This means that from now on, Marshal Pacquiao, your flagship is no longer a pirate ship, but a serious and serious Nanxiang Military and Political Hub No.18 under the Seventh Detachment of the Main Battle Fleet. Team Six commands the flagship, number nx18-7-6."

"As a regular warship of the Empire, it is not a matter of course to be able to obtain the military combat system of the Empire Supernet. As for why the regular warship of the Empire appeared near the battlefield of a field battle to encircle and suppress the Earl? Of course, we were patrolling daily and suddenly noticed If there is a sudden battle nearby, we should hurry up to investigate and verify the situation. In fact, that place was originally the regular patrol area of ​​the No.18 main battle fleet, which is reasonable and reasonable.”

"Of course, this kind of thing cannot stand investigation. Anyone with a brain knows that this is a lie. The Earl is not allowed to use the will to designate irrelevant people as the heirs of the rank, and they have to be downgraded, so the Chifeng clan can only be a viscount race in the future."

"Furthermore, it has been less than 200 years since Uncle Chifeng rose from a humble colony, and his foundation is still shallow... No, he didn't exist at all. He has never even left the Nanxiang star cluster. The person with the highest title he has seen is ours. Uncle Nanxiang... No, the Earl has never even met him in person. As far as the empire is concerned, Uncle Chifeng is the real outsider, while my Lord Earl has guarded the border for generations. A famous family, that is, a little bit of luck, can only climb slowly to the Marquis one step at a time."

"It's like Uncle Chifeng, who was so lucky to pick up a fourth-class queen's giant colony cell out of thin air, and it happened to be the only one for thousands of years, so he picked up the title of earl for nothing But this person is not worthy of virtue at all, and he does not overwhelm the crowd. The faster he rises, the more people among the tens of thousands of earls in the entire empire will dislike him. Once he dies, is it possible that there will still be Who will stand up to fight for a dead man? Does Chifeng Bo Renzhong have such heels? Or is it that the prince and giant telepathized with him from afar and formed an inseparable acquaintance?"

This agent is obviously a real confidant in front of Uncle Nanxiang.

With his rank, it is impossible to figure out these principles purely by using his own brain. Obviously, Liu An told him a lot by ear.

After saying this, Fording and Gruen became more at ease.

Fording said with emotion: "It makes sense, as long as you can succeed in one blow, you will kill Uncle Chi Feng, and all problems will be no problem."

Gruen: "Then, we must win this battle."

The agent chuckled, "It's not that we must win, but that we must win. Don't you think that the Earl only gave you a mere combat system, and not some real hard guys? It cannot be denied that the Chifeng people have a lot of technical skills. It is true that you are superior to other people, you pirates are superior, even the background of the five elders is not as good as him, if you rely purely on your own means, you may be able to win, but you can't kill Uncle Chi Feng steadily, you have to let him escape Going to cause endless disasters."

"In fact, long before I got the order to set off, the Earl had sent his military and political officials to work together, and then used the hub combat system to complete the combat assessment and formulate a detailed and rigorous combat plan. Marshal Fording, you only need to be strict If you execute it, you will naturally be able to win every step of the way. In this whole set of combat plans, we have checked for omissions and made up for the gaps, and we will make up for what is missing for you."

"When the time comes, don't care what methods Chifengxing's army has, Marshal Fording, you just have to see what you do, and keep him until he is unable to fight back."

After chatting here, Gruen and Fording immediately understood Nanxiang Bo Liuan's real plan.

On the surface, it seems that this is a battle between the Pirate Alliance and the Second Red Front Expeditionary Force, but inside it is the fact that many handsome generals and scientific advisors from the Nanxiang Military and Political Center have joined forces with the military commanders on the Red Front Star World War I.

After explaining the situation clearly, Fording didn't feel fluctuating anymore. He just hurried to the side, connected to the system, and began to look through the list of intelligence and military resources of the regular army of the Empire, as well as the complete combat plan.

After a long time, Fording laughed loudly, "Stable!"

Different from Chifengxing's human-centered thinking when commanding operations, in the regular army of the Empire, it relies more on supernet computing power.

Different objective realities form different styles.The Empire Supernet covers everything and has extremely strong information analysis and integration capabilities, especially the ability to control information within its own territory is amazingly strong, even if it is just a thin needle for sewing clothes flowing from one star area to another , can also be traced back to the source.

Thanks to these massive amounts of information, whenever the regular army of the Empire needs to formulate a combat plan, it can come to a high-level comprehensive integration consultation, and then perform detailed simulation calculations.

The primary factor that determines the commander of an army is not the commander's ability to lead troops in battle, but the title, power, prestige, wealth, etc. of this person should be vassal factors.

Anyway, no matter how smart you are, no matter how imaginative, no matter how logical, no matter how tough your will is, you will not be able to compare with the absolutely ruthless empire supernet computing power.

Instead of making random decisions and causing a total collapse due to personal mistakes, it is better to hand over the power to the supernet computing power of the empire that will never betray and fight for power, and then enjoy the benefits without having to bear the responsibility for mistakes in combat command.

To be able to fight is to be able to fight, because one's own side is more comprehensively prepared, the equipment is stronger, and the number of elite fighters is larger.

If you can't beat it, you can't beat it, because your own technology is backward, the battleship function is not good, the number of elite fighters is too small, or the professional matching is not perfect, or there is an accident in logistics, or you have encountered an unexpected universe. natural disasters.

As time goes by, the commander's personal ability becomes more and more weak. Even if a pig is appointed as the marshal, the effect will be the same, unless the supernet and information flow communication collapse first.

Even though the empire itself still has a military academy, the criteria for selecting students for this academy has nothing to do with talent and ability, it all depends on background and assets.

The situation of Red Front Star is completely opposite.

Although Ren Zhong is an Earl, but if he fails to pass the review and become a full-time official, he will not be able to use the information in the Nanxiang star cluster as Liu An did. The analysis concludes that the intelligence gathering ability is so low that at the beginning, he had to rely on his personal relationship to obtain information from Wen Yuanbo.

Therefore, it is impossible for Chifeng Star's army to conduct a comprehensive summary analysis before each battle like the regular army of the Empire. It can only rely on its own scout ships to cast a comprehensive net, collect on-site analysis, and then adapt to the situation.

The current situation forces the army of the Chifeng tribe to develop a human-machine combination decision-making mechanism that relies more on human capabilities.

Sun Ai can play a certain role in combat decision-making, but the value of commanders like Zheng Tian, ​​Vincent Van Hoy and Ying Zhenshan cannot be ignored.

Due to the actual needs, and also because of the shallow background of the Red Front Army, and because the main combat experience of the Red Front Star Army has turned into decades of guerrilla warfare in the Broken Star Ring, the selection of talents in the Red Front Military Academy must be strict and must be Selecting the best from the best also forces these commanders to get personal experience on the battlefield, and then form their own combat styles.

In the end, military commanders in the Chifeng clan emerged in endlessly, like crucian carp crossing the river, and all of them were masters.

The imperial regular army in the Nanxiang star cluster can't learn this at present, because they don't have such a training system and social atmosphere, so that the commander's combat ability has been degraded.

Chapter 531 The Power of the Empire's Most Powerful

The reason why Fording is stable is because the military combat system has already used more rigorous data to list the materials coming in and out of the Red Front Star nearly a hundred years ago, and also made a list of the imperial technological data used by the Red Front Clan. summary.

In the past, when Liu An didn't use such methods to suppress civil strife, Chi Fengxing could make a fortune by relying on the resources on the Broken Star Ring. Many data inside Fengxing have become invisible.

After a series of huge and complex but accurate calculations, the military combat system accurately deduced the current military technology level of Chifeng Star, and estimated the parameters and specific armament status of many ships in the Second Expeditionary Fleet. Even specifically, how many missiles are loaded on each warship, how fast and far these missiles can fly, what is the killing range of the blasting department, the temperature gradient decay curve within the killing range, which energy cannons are loaded, and how far are these energy cannons? The performance and geometry.

In short, with the launch of the military combat system, even Fording Pacquiao has never seen the warships of the Second Expeditionary Force, but the entire fleet is already one-way transparent in front of him.

This is not over yet, the Imperial Supernet did analyze that Chifengxing held a lot of ruthless guys. In order to restrain these methods, Liu An asked Nanxiang Earl's Mansion Secret Service to provide a lot of equipment.

At this time, the transport ships transporting these equipments are also in the warp subspace channel, and will meet with the pirate coalition forces before assembly.

In the next year, basically nothing happened, and the heat that belonged to heavy responsibilities gradually faded throughout the empire.

On this day, within the flagship of the Second Expeditionary Army, Ren Zhong was making the final arrangements.

In front of him, Ying Zhenshan was in the middle and front, Yuan Qinhu, Guo Denghuai, and Song Qingqiao lined up in parallel in the rear, and more commanders lined up in the rear.

Ren Zhong didn't talk too much nonsense, he just asked these people to cooperate and rely on each other in the battle that is bound to happen next, and to strictly implement the military orders, and then came the conclusion.

"In short, in this battle, the stealth technology and information flow interruption technology we are proud of may become less reliable. I hope you will be mentally prepared."

"But don't panic, because the battlefield is still fair. For both sides, it is technically fair. In a sense, we still have an advantage. People in the Nanxiang star cluster already know our record, but they usually will The invincibility of the Red Front army is simply due to technological superiority."

"There are even many people who think that once our technological advantage is wiped out, we will panic and become incapable of fighting, lose the will to fight, and suffer a crushing defeat. But they really don't quite understand that the Chifeng clan The predecessor, that is, what kind of training the people of Yuanxing have undergone on Yuanxing."

"They don't know that when the so-called advantages disappear, we will show our real strength. I can tell you clearly that the overall size of the enemies waiting to intercept and kill the Second Expeditionary Fleet is ten times that of ours."

"On the surface, the Second Expeditionary Fleet's chances are zero, and it may not even be able to do it for a week. I believe that Nanxiang Bo Liu'an must have used the Imperial Supernet to perform no less than [-] simulation calculations. In every calculation he made, the Second Expeditionary Fleet must have suffered a crushing defeat."

"I know Liu An, and I know the army of the empire. They won't fight unprepared battles, and they must be absolutely sure once they make a move."

"They may use the Imperial Supernet to conduct a comprehensive analysis of Chifeng Star, completely see through our warships, and clearly calculate the scale of our troops and equipment, and the accuracy may even be down to a single bullet."

"Then, the enemy will come over in a majestic manner, without leaving us a single gap, and destroy us bit by bit on the frontal battlefield."

"This is a tough battle. If there are no miracles and big changes, this expedition will just be a death sentence."

"However, I can tell you that there are still variables in this battle. I am the variable!"

After speaking, Ren Zhong showed the 50 people present a paper version of the detailed information, and asked them to destroy it immediately after reading it. They could only keep it in their hearts and never enter it into the Ultrain system.

Everyone present opened their mouths wider and wider one by one, obviously they saw something that was unacceptable.

After a long time, Ren Zhong announced to withdraw the file again, and then said: "I remember it all. Therefore, when formulating the battle plan, my personal combat power should be taken into account. But you can't call me by my name directly, and you can't accurately describe my personality. I can only be called by a code name for the exchange ratio of combat power."

"My code name is Chifeng. It is a sharp blade specially used to break the situation. You don't need to consider my identity or the possibility of my death in battle, just ask me to fight. Of course, the highest use of my knife The authority is in Ying Zhenshan's hands."

"In short, everyone, I will hand myself over to you for this battle."

After finishing speaking, Ren Zhong immediately left the flagship and went to an empty smart armed warship.

As for the more than 50 commanders, they immediately got together and started intensive consultations to work out the rules on how to use the knife of Lord Earl.

Ying Zhenshan said: "We really don't need to worry too much about the technical problems that the Earl mentioned before. The intelligent combat system will naturally adapt to the situation, we just have to be mentally prepared. But how to use the Earl's military force is a bit of a problem. Difficulty, because we can only hide this matter in our hearts, and we can no longer borrow the assistance of the brain like before, so we must have a tacit understanding in our hearts when commanding battles."

Yuan Qinhu, an old senior, also nodded, "First of all, we need to be clear. The Earl must not use this knife, because if he does not use it, he will definitely lose. But it must not be used indiscriminately, and he must not be put in danger. In addition, I It must be emphasized that you must not choose to sacrifice the Earl for the victory of the fleet, don't put the cart before the horse."

Ying Zhenshan also nodded and said yes, "That's true. The Chifeng clan exists because of the Earl. As long as he is alive, there is hope for everything. Once he is gone, it will be over."

Just when everyone was discussing and was about to reach a consensus, Ren Zhong's angry shout suddenly sounded in the conference room.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that you are still lucky, thinking that even if the entire fleet is destroyed, I can escape alone? There is only one hope for me to survive, and that is to win this battle and completely destroy all the enemies. .As for my personal safety, it's not your turn to worry about me."

"You still lack awareness of my current state. I order you to never consider my personal safety when formulating a battle plan. If calculations and measurements must be made, then the purpose of keeping this knife of mine can only be for The subsequent battles in the first battle will play a greater role. Violators die."

After finishing speaking, Ren Zhong fell silent again.

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other.

The Earl seldom gets angry, but once he gets angry, no one is afraid.

……

Time passed little by little again, and it was another half a year in a blink of an eye.

A seemingly defenseless "transportation fleet" has already left the main territory of the Nanxiang star cluster, lined up in a long snake formation, and moved across space along a meandering curve. Catapult effect.

One after another, large ships with different shapes and styles are forming a huge pocket array, quietly lurking in front of them.

The command flagship where Fording Pacquiao and Gruen Augustus are located hangs behind the array and is functioning as an information center, transmitting a large amount of information in the form of directional radio waves.

Fording and Gruen are holding a videoconference with the other four commanders of the Five Elders.

At the same time, in the brief star chart, you can already see the long snake array that is gradually approaching ahead.

It was obviously a very serious meeting, but Gruen, a non-military person, spoke first, and said jokingly: "Uncle Chifeng really treats this journey as an outing, and he doesn't even arrange a battle formation. He should You don’t really think that no one dares to take his life.”

Fording shook his head, "Don't be careless. This shows that he is confident."

On the other hand, another leader of the Five Elders had the same opinion as Gruen, "What's the use of being confident? Even the enhanced invisibility technology that the Chifeng tribe is most proud of has been broken by us. As for the radio he relies on most , lasers, gravitational waves, and neutrino communication technologies, we also have them. Even the underlying framework of the Chifeng family's unique chip computer has been broken. Once we fight, everyone does not have these computer aids and relies on It is the most primitive human decision-making, but we only need to strictly implement the plan planned by the combat system, but he is unprepared, and the force is only one-tenth of ours, who is so confident?"

The others smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"It seems that everyone has reached a consensus. In fact, I think so too. If this is the case, let's pass on the order and start preparing. Two hours later, the last rear fleet ignited its engine and began to pack its pockets. With the slightest chance of escaping, he took this dusty No. [-] black hole as his burial place."

Fording issued a pre-war order.

Next, he checked the plans provided by the military combat system over and over again in person, and checked them again and again in his mind to prevent any omissions.
