When Yang Yi spoke, Zhan Ruilin only occasionally interrupted to ask a few questions. When Yang Yi finished speaking, Zhan Ruilin fell silent.
It can be seen that Zhan Ruilin is in a bad mood. Not only self-blame, but also an inexplicable grief.
Although he did not participate in the war a thousand years ago, Yang Yi can understand Zhan Ruilin's mood at this time. It can be said that Zhan Ruilin can have today, and even the third theater can have today, Yan Zhanlong and other four capable officers have contributed the most. Unexpectedly, on the eve of victory, Yan Zhanlong and the other three fell down, and Ouyang Qian also retired shortly thereafter. Zhan Ruilin lost not only four capable officers, but more.
"Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly. Do you believe in history?"
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Zhan Ruilin asked such a question.
"Official history, that is, history that everyone knows, do you believe it?"
"Marshal..."
"Do you know why I blame myself?" Zhan Ruilin smiled lightly and said, "Actually, the history you know is not true history."
Yang Yi was not surprised, because he knew it a long time ago.
"Looking at your expression, you are obviously enlightened." Zhan Ruilin exhaled, and then said, "Many people think that the battle of the'Peace Dawn' was launched by the Human Federation in order to win the fruits of victory, regardless of the actual situation on the battlefield. If it hadn’t been for the seven top civilizations to send troops to support them in time, what we would have lost would not be the Kuhn-Barion Fortress, nor the three legendary fighters, but the most time for the armistice."
"Not so?" Yang Yi asked tentatively.
"Yes, it was not the best time to attack the Kuhn-Barion Fortress, because when we advanced to the Northern Alpha Galaxy, the logistics support was already unsustainable. Launching another attack would only make the logistics supply line overwhelmed and the enemy It is able to reap the profits. However, it is not only the seven top civilizations who realize this, and it is not us who launches the attack regardless of reality.
"Marshal, you mean..."
Zhan Ruilin pressed his hand, stopped Yang Yi's words, and said: "Because there are four legendary fighters attacking the city, we have been acting as the forward and fighting on the front line after the counterattack began. Attacking'Kuhn-Barion Fortress' Before, I proposed to slow down a little bit, let the troops rest, so that logistical support can keep up. Unfortunately, the Human Federation does not have much right to speak in the Galactic Alliance. What's more, Lei Sha has made a wrong judgment on the battle situation. He believes that the Silicon Magic Alliance is defeated like a mountain and can take down the entire Northern Alpha galaxy in one go. Of course, Leisha believes that if he leads the Silicon Magic Alliance to defeat the Silicon Magic Alliance, the Thunder Clan will become the biggest winner of this war."
"What about the rest?"
"Sacred Emperor?" Zhan Ruilin smiled coldly and said, "At that time, my thoughts were the same as you, thinking that the Sage Emperor would appear to stop him."
"You mean..."
"Obviously, this idea is too naive. That's right, the Heavenly Sage Emperor and the Wanluo War Emperor are fighting openly and secretly, and the Hidden Spirit Race and the Leiling Race are also at odds. If the Leiling Race becomes the biggest winner, from the capture of the North The Alpha Galaxy has gained the most benefits, and the Hidden Spirit Race is undoubtedly the biggest loser. Apart from anything else, as long as the Lei Ling Race dominates the core star region of the Northern Alpha Galaxy, the Hidden Spirit Race will never stand back."
"In that case..."
"At the time, I went to the Heavenly Sage Emperor and told him that if we continue to attack, even if we lay down the Kuhn-Barion Fortress and gain a springboard to enter the Northern Alpha Galaxy, we are at the end of the battle, and it is absolutely impossible to completely eliminate it through a war. The Silicon Magic Alliance. As the front line stretches, we will lose the initiative before we mobilize enough troops. The Silicon Magic Alliance does not even need to send troops to counterattack. It only needs to use the tactics of solid walls and clear fields to destroy all the planets along the way, so that we do not have With a foothold, we can use a vast space in exchange for enough time. When we can no longer attack and launch a counterattack, we will be able to drive us out of the Northern Alpha galaxy in one effort."
"The Heavenly Sage Emperor didn't listen to your advice?"
Zhan Ruilin smiled faintly, then shook his head slightly, and said, "He listened to it, but he didn't stop Lei Sha."
"This… "
"If the offensive fails, Lei Sha will inevitably face scandal, and the Lei Ling clan will also lose the dominance, and the Heavenly Sage Emperor and the Hidden Spirit Clan will be able to replace them."
When Zhan Ruilin said so, Yang Yi suddenly understood.
"So, you broke with the Heavenly Sage Emperor for this?"
"At that time, I was in the same mood as you are now, thinking that I was betrayed by the Heavenly Sage Emperor. From another perspective, the Heavenly Sage Emperor did nothing wrong. He was defending the interests of the Hidden Spirit Race. In his eyes, humans The Federation is just cannon fodder that can be sacrificed. Sacrificing the interests of the Human Federation to protect the interests of the Hidden Spirits is completely understandable. In fact, at the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War, why were we not like this?"
Yang Yi was surprised secretly, the meaning of Zhan Ruilin's remarks was too amazing.
"In addition, the Heavenly Sage Emperor and the Hidden Spirit Race didn't do nothing. If we hadn't been prepared long ago, we would not be able to hold the front at the end of the'Peace Dawn' campaign, let alone forcing the Silicon Magic Alliance to sign an armistice agreement. Thousands of human soldiers died in this battle, but it was not meaningless. At least after the end of this battle, the Fifth Greenwich War came to an imperfect end, and the Human Federation received hundreds of colonized galaxies. , Was promoted to a sixth-class civilization, and ushered in the longest period of peace in the third era. In addition, we also see the hypocrisy of the top civilizations and have a more true understanding of the masters of these galactic alliances."
Yang Yigang wanted to speak, and Zhan Ruilin said: "For those of us who have experienced it, the most profound understanding is that if the human federation wants to develop and grow, it must not count on the top civilization, even the hidden spirit race that has always been friendly. On your own, everything else is nonsense."
"Marshal..."
"It's a pity that when Leisha decided to launch the'Peaceful Dawn' campaign, we had no say, or even the right to choose." Zhan Ruilin sighed and said, "If we refuse to launch an offensive, apart from losing our hands The colonial galaxy of, will also suffer the catastrophe. At that time, under the acquiescence of the Emperor of Heaven, Leisha controlled the Alliance Council and passed the war resolution to enter the Northern Alpha Galaxy. Because of the signing of the Alliance’s Total War Mobilization Act, the Human Federation Must unconditionally obey the war resolutions of the Alliance Council. Besides, the human federation is too weak to be qualified to fight against the Lei Ling clan. Resistance is tantamount to self-destruction.
Yang Yi didn't say a word, let alone the human federation that was devastated by war a thousand years ago, even the current human federation is not qualified to challenge the Lei Ling clan.
"We have no choice but to obey the war resolutions, act as cannon fodder for Leisha's ambitions, and become the victims of the struggle between the two top civilizations." Zhan Ruilin smiled tragically, and then said, "What is even more ironic is that we are suffering heavy casualties. After that, we can only be grateful to the Heavenly Sage Emperor and the Hidden Spirit Race, because it is the Heavenly Sage Emperor’s Unexpected Prophet, and the Hidden Spirit Race dispatched troops in time, so that we can stabilize our position after the terrible defeat, and because of the reasoned struggle of the Heavenly Emperor, we The colonial galaxy was preserved and it was promoted to the sixth-class civilization after the war. Also because of the magnanimity of the Heavenly Sage Emperor, the relationship between the Human Federation and the Hidden Spirit Race was maintained, and the Hidden Spirit Race was fully supported after the war."
"This… "
"Does it feel ironic?"
Yang Yi couldn't help but smiled bitterly. He had heard something about what Zhan Ruilin said before from Lin Feng.
For example, Zhan Ruilin said that "the hidden spirits dispatched troops in time" refers to the battle in which the hidden spirits ambushed the reinforcements of the Silicon Charm Alliance during the "Peace Dawn" campaign. It was through this battle that the Human Legion gained the opportunity to retreat and retreated to the Southern Alpha Galaxy calmly.
"Obviously, you must be wondering why the official history is so different from the truth."
"As a last resort."
Zhan Ruilin smiled faintly, and said, "This is just one reason. The key is that the human federation is too weak to accept it."
Before Yang Yi could speak, Zhan Ruilin waved his hand, and a starry sky picture appeared between the two.
Yang Yi was surprised secretly, but immediately saw that this is the starry sky map of the Southern Alpha Galaxy, only a miniature version.
"This is the Southern Alpha Galaxy, the homeland of mankind after the destruction of the Milky Way. To be precise, this is where the homeland is located." Zhan Ruilin stood up, walked a few steps forward, and came to the most densely populated star region, that is, the brightest area. . "This is the core area of the Southern Alpha Galaxy, and it is also the place where the native galaxies of the seven top civilizations are located. Of course, this is also the area with the most concentrated resources."
Seeing Zhan Ruilin beckoning, Yang Yi got up and walked over.
"Do you know where our home galaxy is?"
Yang Yi took a closer look. Although the Greenwich Meteorite Belt is above his head and looks very bright, the home galaxy is very dim.
"Here." Zhan Ruilin raised his finger. "This rice-sized spot of light is the home galaxy. Even if you count all the colonial galaxies, the territory of the Human Federation is only one millionth of the entire Southern Alpha galaxy. A long and narrow area a hundred light-years away."
When Zhan Ruilin said this, there was a change at the top of the starry sky map, and the ruled area of the human federation turned blue.
I don't know, just take a look at the next hop.
"Now, do you understand our situation?"
Yang Yi nodded slightly. This narrow and long area like a ribbon gave him the first intuitive impression of the human federation's situation.
To put it bluntly, the ruled area of the Human Federation is just south of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt.
It can be seen at a glance that as long as the Silicon Magic Alliance launches a war, the Human Federation will be the first to be poisoned, and the seven top civilizations that occupy the core area of the Southern Alpha Galaxy are far away from the Greenwich meteorite belt and the threat of enemies. Even the Human Federation There won't be much loss in a complete defeat.
Suddenly, Yang Yi understood what Zhan Ruilin meant.
The human federation’s invasion of the Silicon Magic Alliance can be said to be painful and threatened at any time. For the seven top civilizations, the war with the Silicon Magic Alliance is more like a game, said to be used to compete for benefits. There is nothing wrong with the method or the tool to fight against the opponent.
