Resurrection Empire

Page 598

Therefore, even if he saw the short-term benefits of the "tragic victory" in the foresight, Ren Zhong believed that the empire had no chance of winning.

This so-called victory at a huge price is actually worse than defeat.

Ren Zhong believes that from the very beginning, the sublimators did not intend to use this battle to defeat the empire in one go.

The Pilgrims and Anima were not doing their best to assist the Ascendant either.

It's really just a trial.

Ren Zhong believed that the "tragedy victory" he saw in his prediction was originally the strategic goal pursued by the opponent.

The Alliance of Three Clans is going to use this trial to try and explore the details of cooperation, after all, this has never happened before.

At the same time, they have to see to what extent the three-party alliance can deal a blow to the machine empire.

The siege of the three major star fields, the intentional leaving of the star gate channel, the continuous consumption of the empire's central force, productivity and population, and the spread of panic throughout the empire to suppress the morale of the mechanical empire and the normal process of technological production, this is the sublimator launching this test fundamental purpose of war.

In the end, although the Tri-Clan Alliance's tentative war will be repelled, it is actually a complete victory.

The productivity of the three star regions will be completely destroyed, and the center of the empire will also suffer heavy losses in this extremely anxious tug-of-war, and expose its own weakness.

Then, the next action of the Tri-Clan Alliance will definitely be even more ferocious.

If there is no new injection of external force, the mechanical empire will definitely be continuously strangled by opponents who could not deal with it alone, until it is completely destroyed.

Ren Zhong has no feelings for the Machine Empire, but the Machine Empire is currently the only backing that the Chifeng Clan can rely on.

If there is no skin, there will be no hair.

He didn't want to see the machine empire go to extinction.

Therefore, Ren Zhong decided to let himself be the variable.

In the tide of the times, mediocre people drift with the tide while complaining about others, lamenting the injustice of fate while waiting for others' redemption.

But the real trendsetters will use their own methods to stand out bravely, become outstanding and radiant, and become variables in the times.

Of course, once it becomes a variable, it means that it will inevitably attract more hostile eyes and must face greater risks.But risks and opportunities coexist forever. Some wavers will be swallowed by the storm, leaving only a little wave, but some wavers can always stand on the top of the waves and start their own era.

……

Time is slowly flowing quietly, and it has been four full years since Ren Zhong "prophesied" the outbreak of the war.

By this time, Ren Zhong and his Chi Feng tribe had become an epic joke of the famous empire.

Ren Zhong and his Chifeng tribe are obviously a cutting-edge civilization with an extremely promising future, and they have shown potential far beyond ordinary earls of the empire and their people in all aspects.

Whether it is scientific research ability, production ability, commercial ability and reproductive ability, or even the overall social ideology and war ability of the ethnic group, they are all outstanding and talented.

No one doubts that over time, the Chi Feng tribe will gradually become a powerful force at the marquis level or even the duke level, and become a pillar-like existence in the machine empire system.

Uncle Chifeng himself also has a great chance to become the new official chosen one.

But the funny thing is that Uncle Chi Feng went "crazy" at the critical moment.

Because of his inexplicable so-called intuition, the Chifeng tribe, which is thriving and flourishing, came to a sudden stop on the rapidly developing Kangzhuang Avenue.

He gave up all the feudal food planets, recalled all the personnel stationed abroad, and transferred everyone to large or small interstellar navigation vehicles, and gathered them near a galaxy in the Liaoyuan galaxy.

If it weren't for the fact that the account used by the Chifeng Ministry of Commerce to receive foreign technology authorization payments is still open, many imperial companies and nobles who have purchased stealth coatings, new metal recycling and new dark matter capture and development technologies can still transfer the money. The service personnel of Chifeng Academy of Sciences If they still conduct remote guidance through the information flow network, other imperial people will almost think that the Chifeng clan has evaporated out of thin air.

Previously, the Chi Feng tribe had voluntarily interrupted the planet lease contract.

According to the original contract, even if the Chi Feng tribe no longer used these planets, they still had to pay the rent on time.

However, those companies and lower-middle-class nobles who leased out the planet wanted to please the heavy burden, or perhaps they were too frightened to get the money for nothing, fearing that they would be liquidated one day in the future, so these lessors not only gave up collecting rent , more voluntarily gave up the right to claim liquidated damages.

A large number of planets in the Nanxiang star cluster have been returned to their original owners.

When the Chifeng tribe evacuated, they moved away many newly-built important production lines on these planets, but they still left behind the original factories on many planets, as well as a large number of local people who had been with the Chifeng tribe day and night.

After the lessor returned to the planet, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the overall quality of the population under his rule had increased by at least 50.00% benchmarks.

These people have changed from simply representing the population to one after another fresh and energetic new productive forces.

Those sent by Chifeng Earl's Mansion to manage the planet are like magicians with the power to turn stones into gold.

They turned decay into magic, increasing the value of these planets by at least half in a very short period of time.

But soon, the claws of Nanxiang Earl's Mansion stretched out again.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Relying on the remaining prestige, the Liu family easily took over the influence given up by the Chifeng Earl's Mansion.

These former planet lessors are not surprised by this, nor are they angry, but happy to see the success.

Anyway, their planet has become more valuable, and if Nanxiang Earl's Mansion wants to infiltrate it, it will have to pay more.

As a result, Liu An and his Nanxiang Earl's Mansion have naturally become the biggest beneficiaries of the Chifeng clan's strategic contraction strategy.

Liu An finally swept away the previous decline and saw the hope of revival.

However, no matter how noisy the outside world is, no matter how ridiculed others are, Ren Zhong and his people are only strictly implementing the established plan.

Everyone in the world thought that the development of the Chi Feng clan had stagnated, but only the insiders knew that they were transforming.In a sense, it is also called regression.

At the beginning, when the fleet left Yuanxing and went to the Nanxiang star cluster, Ren Zhong and the former Yuanxing humans experienced the pain of transitioning from surface civilization to space civilization.

At the beginning of a voyage, despite a lot of training in advance, people often seem to be at a loss.There are often many situations in space travel.

It was not until many years later that the people on Yuanxing gradually adapted to that kind of life and regained their productivity and creativity.

Afterwards, the human beings from the source star took root on the Chifeng star, and gradually changed from the space wandering civilization back to the surface civilization, and became the Chifeng tribe.

After another 200 years of reproduction and development, the Chifeng tribe quickly reached the peak level of surface civilization in the Nanxiang star cluster.

In the past four years, Ren Zhong has allowed the Chi Feng tribe to regain the unique temperament of the space wandering civilization.

After the initial confusion, people quickly adapted to the relatively narrow and crowded living space in the ship in just a few years, and also adapted to the differences between the space laboratory and the planet's surface laboratory.

The population of the Chi Feng tribe began to grow slowly but steadily again.

The sound of children reading aloud began to resound in one after another, large or small ship cabins.

Different planetary ships began to form a multiculturalism with their own characteristics because of their different positioning and origins.

Very close-fitting, durable, and extremely cheap to manufacture space vacuum environment walking suits are also becoming more and more popular.There are even children who put on spacewalking suits on vacation and go on adventure tours to the vacuum surface outside the ship.

After several months of stagnation, the growth in the number of super fighters began to recover.

It took several years for many branches of Chifeng Academy of Sciences to gradually complete the replacement of equipment and transformation of thinking.

The Chi Feng tribe has turned back to the original group of brave wanderers with the strength of the family and the courage to go to the unknown starry sky for the continuation of civilization.

At the same time, there will always be people in the outside world who think that Ren Zhong's mindless decision-making will inevitably hurt his prestige, and that someone in the Chi Feng clan will definitely be bored with him, and even want to rebel.

So far no one has defected, it is just that Ren Zhong has carried out brutal dictatorial suppression.

But in fact, this is not the case, they underestimated Ren Zhongzai's prestige in the clan.

Under the persistent propaganda of the diplomatic and cultural department led by Xiao Xingyue, and inspired by the miracles performed by Ren Zhong himself from time to time, his personal authority has been at its peak from beginning to end and has never slipped.

No one in the group really questioned his decisions.

……

One day, a shocking news broke out in the empire very suddenly, and it spread like a storm.

A small reconnaissance ship active tens of light-years beyond the boundary of the Long River star field collided with something without warning.

The captain of the reconnaissance ship pressed the "last radio wave" start button in time before dying, sending a warning to the rear of the empire.

According to the star map, this area is a complete cosmic vacuum, and there is no such thing as a space meteorite.

Therefore, what crashed the reconnaissance ship must be some kind of man-made object that moved here.

Just as the Imperial Intelligence Agency was frantically collecting information, trying to deduce what kind of man-made object it was, more and more similar reports came back from multiple areas outside the Far Frontier Starfield, the Changhe Starfield, and the Yupan Starfield.

By this time, there is no need to judge.

But anyone with a little brain knows it.

After being dormant for hundreds of years, the Ascendants really fought unannounced again, and they came fiercely.

Chapter 591 Overwhelming, the whole family joins the war

The ear-piercing highest alarm immediately rang through every inch of space in the three star domains.

Almost everyone can hear the alarm from the public address or personal watch.

Everyone knows what this alert means.

This is a first-level war alert, just one step away from the super war alert that spreads throughout the empire.

For the entire empire, the first-level alarm represents a large-scale local war at the star field level.However, for the imperial humans living in the three major star fields headed by the Far Frontier Star Field, this is clearly an all-out war in which there is nowhere to hide and no way to go.

However, there was no large-scale chaos in the three star fields, and there were no riots caused by panic. On the contrary, everyone seemed to be very comfortable with this, and there was a sense of relief that "you are finally here" after waiting for a long time.

Therefore, even though the war alarm is still being broadcast across the entire region at a frequency of once an hour, the order of most of the planets and regions in the three star regions has not collapsed, but has become more orderly than usual.

This is not due to heavy prophecy.

Ren Zhong's prophecy does have some influence in a small area, but it is usually only regarded as a fun.

What really takes effect at this special moment and stabilizes the social atmosphere are the bloodstains engraved on the stone tablets of history, and the scars instilled into people's hearts.

The war between the Machine Empire and the other three major human branches has been going on for millions of years.

While all-out wars broke out rarely, local wars never stopped.

In particular, the Ascendants, who bordered on the largest area of ​​the Machine Empire, waged a small battle in a few years, a big battle in decades, and a large-scale local war at the star field level in hundreds of years.

The hometown of Hou Jinshi in Zhenjiang was caught in a star field war and has since become an enemy-occupied area.The mechanical empire that lost a large area of ​​territory also lost a large amount of usage quota of the quasar super brain located in the central area of ​​the ancient disk galaxy.

At the beginning, Baron Han Zhixin, who got a cheap defective version of the invisible paint, decided to take the risk and pursue the wealth he sought in the danger. He also undertook the transportation mission in a small-scale and low-intensity war in another star field.This encounter caused Han Zhixin's family to lose everything overnight and almost went bankrupt.The sublimators also took advantage of their technological advantages to drive a nail into the star field.

The person responsible for squatting on this nail is a second-class mother royal ship, an authentic quasi-stellar powerhouse, who can mobilize a huge energy comparable to one ten-thousandth of a star.The second-class mother imperial ship was not in a hurry to expand the results of the battle, but continued to explode troops to consolidate the defense line, and then repelled the imperial fleet trying to regain lost ground time and time again.In the empire, many people believed that this second-class mother imperial ship was trying to establish the entrance and exit of the warp subspace passage, or even a remote star gate, in order to operate this place as a bridgehead capable of supporting the next round of all-out offensive.

In order to prevent this possibility, the Mechanical Empire dispatched special battle fleets time and time again to try to drive it away, or at least prevent it from achieving its goal.But unfortunately, the productivity, combat command capabilities, and scientific research capabilities of the quasi-stellar-class mothership are too terrible. The empire's special warfare fleet has tried many times, but has never succeeded.

In the end, the Mechanical Empire had to change its strategy, and simply planned to use its tricks, and began to quietly hoard heavy troops on the periphery of the star field, waiting for the army of sublimators to come and throw themselves into the trap.

The highest military department of the empire also believes that all signs indicate that the sublimator's next main attack area should be this star field.

But now it seems that the Ascendant has played a very simple and easy-to-understand trick, which is to openly repair the plank road and secretly hide the old warehouse.

The army of the machine empire is a bit tricked, but this is reasonable.

Ascendants have always been known for their cunning.

The three star regions have enjoyed peace for many years, but everyone here knows very well that the longer the peace lasts, the more violent the impact of war will be.

In the three star regions, both nobles and civilians have been immersed in the propaganda and indoctrination of the imperial administrative system for many years, knowing that the risk of war has never been eliminated.

Now it's just that years of fear have settled.

The administrative system established by the machine empire for many years was quickly mobilized.

The call-up order started from the highest military department in the center of the empire, and was quickly distributed from top to bottom to every nobleman in the three star regions.

According to the military system of the mechanical empire, each star field, star cluster, and even planetary system has a set of governance systems directly under the direct control of the empire center, which is mainly responsible for the construction of standing troops in the corresponding area and some administrative work.

Of course, if the corresponding nobles holding fiefs in these areas are too strong, the administrative system directly managed by the central center will be useless. For example, the Nanxiang Star Cluster was turned into the private property of the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion by Liu An.

Another example is that after the rise of the Chifeng tribe, many planetary systems, including the Nanjiu galaxy, were also managed by the Chifeng Earl's Mansion into a country within a country.

But not every noble is so powerful. In these areas, the administrative system directly managed by the central government occupies a dominant position.

However, no matter what region or place it is, as long as the imperial call-up order is issued, it can quickly enter a war situation.

Moreover, there is no such thing as flying separately when a disaster is imminent, and there is no drama of betrayal by the anti-bone boy taking advantage of the chaos.

The reason is simple, the gap between the four major human branches is too deep.

No matter how beautiful the sublimator's recruitment letter was written, no one dared to believe it.Everyone knows that surrender is not an easy way to live.The human beings in the empire are worthless to the ascendants, they are just organic nutrients. In the past, there is no good food and clothing, and only life is worse than death.

No matter how rebellious a person is by nature, he won't be stupid enough to surrender to the enemy.

As Ren Zhong guessed, nothing unexpected happened. When the front-line scouting ship finally transmitted a relatively clear picture, Zhenjiang Hou Jinshi, who had just woken up, was appointed as the commander of the Yuanjiang star field and Changhe star field. The supreme commander of all wartime military and political affairs in Yupan and Yupan Star Regions.

Jin Shi didn't delay, and immediately set up the wartime general headquarters with Zhenjiang Marquis Mansion as the skeleton.

At the same time, the former top officials of the military and political systems of the three major star regions automatically became her deputy.

In the Nanxiang star cluster, Wen Zaiyin also became the supreme commander very reasonably.Although the Chifeng Earl's Mansion is strong, it has always only focused on its own development, and has not fully spread the tentacles of power to the Nanxiang Military and Political Hub. Ren Zhong himself is not interested in grabbing this power with Wen Zaiyin.
