When Donovan was staying and resting on Wulanxing, the political hall of Oudexing next to Wulanxing was not as dark as before, but brightly lit, and there were buzzing noises.
This should explain that the star domains where the Caesars, the Tangs, the Ulan religion, the Oud Empire, and the Republic of Winter are located, because they share the sunshine of a star, so their work and rest hours are the same.
In the political hall, wearing a red cloak, sitting on a chair with a very high back, wearing a crown, holding a royal scepter, with two mustaches, the emperor of the Oud Empire in his forties and fifties - Kai Sen Ode slammed the white jade floor with the royal stick, and said in a deep voice to the ministers of civil and military affairs who were talking with each other in the hall: "Okay, be quiet."
When the emperor spoke, the ministers immediately shut up and stood respectfully back to their original positions. Seeing that his minister was so obedient, Emperor Kaisen Oude nodded in satisfaction, and looked at a person standing under his left hand with a smug gaze.
This person was none other than Tang Nawu. When he saw the emperor's gaze, he immediately looked at the emperor with an expression full of reverence, and then slightly lowered his head.
Emperor Kaisen Ode, who was very satisfied with his majesty being accepted by outsiders, glanced at the ministers with a smug face and asked, "How is it, have you ministers discussed any resolutions?"
A minister with a goatee on the right hand side of the emperor stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have finished the discussion."
"Oh, what's the result?" the emperor asked with great interest.
"In order to keep the Tang family's orthodox bloodline from being tarnished by outsiders, and to reflect the friendship between the Oud Empire and the Tang family, the ministers agreed that we should raise troops to destroy the traitor who caused chaos—Tang Long!" the minister said in a very passionate tone.
"Destroy the rebels! Destroy the rebels!" For some reason, the minister clenched his fists and raised his hands and shouted slogans, and what was even more surprising was that other ministers in the Palace of Political Affairs also followed suit. In an instant, the slogan of destroying the traitor resounded through the hall.
Seeing this scene, Tang Nawu helplessly raised his fist and shouted. Although he had been in charge of the empire's diplomatic work when he was in the original Tang family, for so many years, he still couldn't figure out why the empire would shout slogans when encountering certain problems.
Standing up and stretching out his hand to silence the ministers, and announcing the mission of preparing for the war, Emperor Ode glanced secretly at Tang Nawu, and said with a sly smile in his heart: "Hey, even though you promised to let you Tang Nawu take power after taking back Zhongzhou Star, and you promise Will declare the Tang family a vassal state of the Oud Empire. But will I be so stupid as to really follow the oral contract? This time I finally got an excuse to annex Zhongzhou Star. As long as I eat it, do you still want me to spit it out? ?”
According to the practice of the chaotic galaxy, under normal circumstances, it will not attack forces of different systems. It is all family forces attacking family forces, and religious forces attacking religious forces. Of course, as long as the spheres of influence of the monarchy and democracy are connected, it is very, very normal for the enemies of the monarchy and democracy to attack each other. However, when attacking forces of different systems, one must find an excuse, even a false one, as long as it makes sense.
As for the consequences of attacking forces of different systems without making excuses? It seems that no one has tried it except for a family force that attacked religious forces more than ten years ago and was wiped out by other religious forces. Moreover, the chaotic galaxy has existed until now, except for the one just mentioned, there are no other examples of wars between different system forces for no reason. In other words, this convention is just a non-binding convention, and there are no consequences at all. I just don’t know who will tell everyone that the truth in this troubled world is: as long as the fist is big, you can walk sideways! There is absolutely nothing that can't be done.
Inside the Wulan Star Temple, a group of priests with at least 7 orchids on their snow-white silk robes gathered around an old man with a huge orchid pattern on his silk robes, who was squinting and listening to discuss something.
Not long after the discussion stopped, Lan Long immediately said respectfully to the old man: "Your Majesty, we agree that we should help Patriarch Donovan regain the Star of Zhongzhou. How do you decide on this?"
The Pope opened his eyes slightly, looked at Lan Long and asked, "After Donovan gets Zhongzhou Star, can you guarantee that he will let the people of Zhongzhou Star regard Wulan Shengjiao as everything to them?"
Lan Long was stunned for a moment, but soon said with a cold look in his eyes: "As long as our holy guards are stationed in Zhongzhou, it's not his turn to disagree with the people's belief in our holy religion!" The young priests with seven or eight orchids all applauded, while the elderly priests with nine orchids sighed slightly and shook their heads.
Seeing all this, the Pope sighed helplessly in his heart. He is very clear that the Ulan religion is a little bit out of the original teaching of not fighting bravely and fiercely, and is beginning to move towards the dangerous stage of expanding its influence by force. Although he wanted to imprison them, so as not to bring about the danger of extermination for the holy religion, but anyway, they are the descendants of these old guys like himself. And it's not just them young priests who have this idea, almost all the believers of the Ulan religion have this idea. Alas, forget it, after all, their purpose is to promote the Ulan religion, and the method of using force to expand its influence is also used by other religions, so let it take its course.
Thinking of this, the pope closed his eyes and nodded and said: "Since you are sure, from now on, all the apologists will be handed over to you to command. I am also getting old, and I will take the position of the pope in a while." Pass it on to you, so that I can concentrate on studying the doctrine."
"Your Majesty the Pope!" Upon hearing this, Lan Long rushed to kneel down in front of the Pope, took the Pope's hand and kissed it. I don't know if she was moved by the Pope's sad tone, or because the Pope will soon pass the throne to her.
Seeing the joyful faces of the young priests, the Pope who stroked Lan Long's head sighed again in his heart.
Tang Long, who had been wandering around Zhongzhou Star all day, ran to Ling Li's office when night fell. When he tiptoed into the office, he found that Ling Li was alone in the office, eating fast food and looking at the documents. He couldn't help but secretly smiled, and quietly walked behind Ling Li to scare her. However, when Tang Long, who had been hungry for a day, saw Ling Li holding the slice of meat that was about to be delivered to his mouth with chopsticks, and smelled the tempting aroma of meat coming from there, he didn't care about the etiquette or hygiene, so he opened his mouth and directly put his head on the meat. The piece of meat was taken away.
Sure enough, Ling Li was so frightened by someone suddenly sticking to her body that she jumped up suddenly and assumed a fighting posture. When she saw that the person who frightened her was Tang Long, she couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then quickly reacted and turned to Tang Long. Long knelt down and saluted and said, "See my lord."
When Ling Li just knelt down, Tang Long had already helped her up, and said while chewing the meat slices: "Why do you kneel and salute? It's not like you don't know that I hate this kind of etiquette the most, just salute like before Yes. Well, this meat is delicious."
After getting up, Ling Li looked at Tang Long, then nodded and said, "I don't know what's the matter with my lord coming here?"
"I'm hungry and came to you for a meal. By the way, there are no outsiders here. Don't call me the princess, just call me by my name." Tang Long said while pinching another piece of Ling Li's fast food with his fingers. Put the meat in your mouth.
Ling Li couldn't help being taken aback when she heard this, but after seeing Tang Long sucking the gravy on her fingers, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile, "May I go get you some fast food?"
"Okay, it should be as delicious as your fast food, and with a bit more meat." Tang Long nodded fiercely.
Ling Li nodded and smiled, "Okay." After speaking, she walked out of the office.
After a while, when Ling Li came back with the fast food, she found that Tang Long was whistling with her hands behind her back. Just when she was about to call Tang Long, she found that all the meat on her fast food was gone on the table. Ling Li held back her smile and said to Tang Long, "Okay, let's eat."
Tang Long turned around and found that Ling Li was looking at him with a smile. He couldn't help touching his nose, and said with a embarrassed smile: "I'm really sorry, those meats are too fragrant, and I'm too hungry, so...hehe."
"It's okay, anyway, I don't like meat very much, here, this is yours." Ling Li said and handed the fast food.
"Thank you, um, it smells so good." Tang Long quickly took the fast food and ate it, and Ling Li didn't say much, just took a look at Tang Long and continued to read documents while eating.
With his mouth full, Tang Long stopped working hard, raised his head and said to Ling Li: "Ling Li, I said that your security system here is too poor, and no one found me coming in! Anyway, your place is also an intelligence department." , We need to strengthen the security."
Ling Li was shocked when she heard the words, she nodded with a heavy face and said: "Yes, I will strengthen the vigilance." The reason why she looked so heavy was because at first she thought that Tang Long could come in directly because of the guards, but she didn't expect It turned out that those guards didn't find Tang Long at all! If it was the enemy, he would have died long ago, and the information would have been leaked long ago!
"By the way, how is the situation in the entire universe now?" Tang Long asked while eating.
After thinking for a while, Ling Li said while eating: "The big countries have not yet entered the war, but the small countries have already fought each other. Wars happen almost every day. It is as chaotic as our chaotic galaxy."
"Didn't the big countries fight?" Tang Long asked curiously. He didn't believe that the big countries with advantages would not take advantage of this troubled times to expand.
Ling Li shook her head and said: "There is no battle between big countries, but there are frequent wars between big countries and small countries. Now the whole universe feels the same as when the first space war first started, all small countries perish and big countries When the small countries no longer exist, the real space war will break out."
"I said, those big countries will definitely not be so peaceful. By the way, what happened to the largest country, the United States of Wulai, and the second largest country, the Dark Night Empire?" Because Chen Kang once used the heads of state of these two countries as a metaphor for the impossibility of unifying the universe. , so Tang Long paid special attention to them.
"The United States of Wulai is stable and prosperous, and the country has not expanded. The Dark Night Empire has increased its troops and expanded its armaments. They have already wiped out the two neighboring small countries." Ling Li said after eating food.
"Impossible? Wulai United States has not expanded its territory? Doesn't it mean that they have great ambitions?" Tang Long asked in disbelief.
"The Wulai Kingdom has not expanded its territory, but they control almost all the small countries near them." Ling Li continued to eat without raising her head.
"Wu Lai controlled the nearby small country? What's going on?" Tang Long asked in surprise.
Ling Li, who had finished eating, said while packing the fast food box: "It turned out that when every country had black hole bombs, Wu Lai did not act rashly, but concentrated on developing the economy. After the black hole bombs failed, Wu Lai immediately sent troops to attack nearby Of course, the small country must find some reason for the leader of such and such country to corrupt the law, absorb people's fat, persecute the people, dictatorship, cruelty and other reasons to send troops. After Wu Lai country wiped out the leadership of the small country, instead of occupying this country, it is Support the friendly and obedient politicians of small countries in Wulai to come to power, and then withdraw the troops to the country after leaving a group of garrisons.”
"Yeah? What's the benefit of them doing this? That small country still exists, why not merge them into the territory." Tang Long, who also finished his meal, asked puzzled.
After Ling Li handed Tang Long the toothpick and paper towel, she said while packing Tang Long's fast food box: "They have many advantages in doing this, for example, they don't have to manage the government affairs of that small country, and they don't have to pay for the garrison expenses, because the garrison expenses are paid by small countries. At the same time, you don’t have to worry about retaliation by the returners after occupying these small countries, which can ensure the stability of Wu Lai and reduce the casualties of Wu Lai soldiers. Besides, Wu Lai can also directly order the small countries to follow their own wishes. Do things like dumping products and plundering resources to small countries. Anyway, these small countries dare not be disobedient. After all, those garrisons are not there to look good. And even if someone attacks Wu Lai, they must first attack those Xiaoguo, in this way, Wulaiguo won precious early warning time. Since there are so many benefits, why do you think Wulaiguo wants to incorporate Xiaoguo into its territory? You must know that in order to pacify those two small countries, the Dark Night Empire The Restoration of the country has mobilized tens of millions of ground troops, and it is said that they have suffered heavy losses.”
Tang Long, who was stunned by what he heard, took a while to wake up. He shook his head and said, "Although this trick is excellent, these small countries will rebel one day, and Wulai Country is not much better than the Dark Night Empire."
Ling Li, who had already made tea for Tang Long, turned her head and asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"
Tang Long said triumphantly: "It's not easy. Although the Dark Night Empire will encounter revenge from the Restorers for a period of time, these people are a minority, and most of the people think that it is good to live a stable life. , will not participate in such a boring thing at all. If there are no special circumstances, the returners must be wiped out in the end, and these annexed small countries will be fully integrated into the Dark Night Empire and become an inseparable part of the empire."
Speaking of this, Tang Long suddenly laughed and said, "Hey, if the Dark Night Empire is poisonous enough, it should first publicize that the people of these annexed countries enjoy the same treatment as the people of its own empire. Then organize a group of fake restorationists to go to the people China promotes the idea of restoring the country, and at the same time collects information on other organizations of the restoring the country. As long as there are people who refuse to join, the whole family of those who refuse to join will be killed immediately, and the fate of being unpatriotic will be publicized. Destroying public measures and killing innocent civilians, no matter what you do, you must make the people equate the Zionists with terrorists. When the people realize that the Zionists are terrorists, as long as the empire increases its attack on the Zionists At the same time, he tried his best to buy people's hearts. In a few years, the people of these annexed countries will recognize from the bottom of their hearts that they are members of the empire. At that time, these small countries will no longer exist, and all the power of the small countries will be for the empire. Used."
Ling Li stared at Tang Long dumbfounded. She wondered how a straight-hearted person would come up with such a vicious method. However, this method can only be used by dictatorships. If democratic countries use this method, the government will be driven out at any time. Ling Li, who was stunned for a while, didn't wake up until her hands were scalded with boiling water.
Ling Li calmed down and brought tea to Tang Long before continuing to ask: "I know that if the Dark Night Empire does this, it can quickly integrate those small countries it annexed into the empire, but how does this mean that the Dark Night Empire is stronger than Wulai?" Woolen cloth?"
Tang Long blew on the tea and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't you understand yet? Even if Wulai Kingdom controls many countries, it cannot compare with the Dark Ye Empire. Wulai Kingdom will definitely be defeated by Dark Ye Empire in a war." The empire is destroyed. Because the Dark Night Empire annexes other countries, it will become stronger. Even if there are Restorers in the country, as long as there are no large-scale riots, then he can maintain a unified country. The Wulai Kingdom controls In many countries, it can only be regarded as an alliance that has formed a covenant with many countries. When the war breaks out, who knows whether these controlled countries will turn against the water?"
Ling Li nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. A unified country can definitely kill a coalition that is fragmented and allies have no good intentions towards the leader.
"By the way, how is the Wanluo Federation doing now?" Tang Long asked Ling Li after taking a sip of tea.
"Alas, it has been torn apart. The marshal disappeared or died, the president resigned, the parliament took control of the capital circle, and the four generals each controlled a piece of land. At the same time, there were many inexplicable forces to separate one side. Anyway, it's just one word - chaos!" Speaking of Wan Regarding Luo Federation's situation, Ling Li still sighed involuntarily.
Hearing this, Tang Long thought to himself: "Fortunately, my parents have gone to Wulai Country. I believe they will not come back after seeing the chaos of the Wanluo Federation." Thinking of this, Tang Long asked: "Then the Silver Eagle Empire Woolen cloth?"
Ling Li thought for a while and then said: "The entire empire is divided into three parts, and the three princes each brought their own followers to attack each other, all wanting to unify the entire empire. However, I heard that many nobles and people in the empire have caused countless The civil war that caused casualties of soldiers and consumed countless money and materials started a large-scale demonstration and hoped that the princes could resolve the issue of the throne through negotiations. The princes were under pressure or mainly because they had no money for war, so they had ceased fire and prepared to negotiate."
Tang Long wasn't very interested in these, so he just nodded and asked again: "How is the information collection of this chaotic galaxy?"
Ling Li said with a bitter face: "The collection is not comprehensive, because each faction has strict management over its territory. Although some information was collected by using the neutral caravans of various factions, it is irrelevant. Because many factions Spaceships from foreign forces are not allowed to pass through, and although some religious forces allow passage, they refuse to allow people to land on the planet. Most of the information is collected by listening to other businessmen."
After thinking for a while, Tang Long said: "Well, don't we have a lot of spy satellites? When sending people out with the caravan, put these satellites near the planets that need to collect information. Even if you can't get specific information, the warship The numbers can still be calculated.”
Ling Li asked hesitantly, "Will they find out?"
Tang Long said with a smile: "The spy satellite is so easy to be found, it is not called a spy satellite, and even if they are found, they don't know who put it up. There is no sign on the satellite. I believe that the satellite must have a hidden signal." function?"
Ling Li thought for a while and smiled, "Okay, I will follow your instructions."
Tang Long nodded and said: "Well, this matter should be done as soon as possible. First of all, several planets near us need to put this kind of spy satellites."
Ling Li asked in surprise: "Hey, are you planning to attack them? We just occupied Zhongzhou Star!"
Tang Long smiled and said: "Not so fast, as you said, after all, we have just occupied Zhongzhou Star, and all departments have not yet entered orbit. Now is not the time to start a war. But it is still necessary to collect intelligence as soon as possible, which can help us In the future, we will advance to lay the foundation, and secondly, we can also prevent them from plotting against us."
"Well, I understand." Ling Li nodded.
"Also, see if you can buy their galaxy map from the caravan. The galaxy map in the central computer of Zhongzhou Star and Red Lion Star is so annoying that it only records the spaces of the five nearby administrative stars. Azimuth, other planets don’t even have a space azimuth, they don’t even have planet names!” Tang Long sighed helplessly. Let yourself jump into a black hole or a star.
Ling Li also sighed. It seems that she is going to buy a map of the galaxy from the caravan. I don't know what the intelligence officers of the Tang family are doing. Except for the 5 nearby administrative stars that can be reached within a day by normal navigation, Stop collecting information on other planets
When Tang Long was still about to say something, the office door was opened, and Yuna, Shali, and Liwu came in. As soon as he saw Tang Longyuna, he smiled and said, "My lord, so you are here, let us find it for a while."
"Oh, you're here too. I'm talking about intelligence with Ling Li. Sit down." Tang Long said while waving to Yuna and the others to find chairs and sit down.
Sally pulled a chair to sit down and said with a smile: "My lord, you didn't go back to your office. You didn't know that all the retainers and female relatives came to the door, but they crowded the entire corridor."
Li Wu, who was sitting beside Yuna, also smiled and said, "If I hadn't sent guards to keep them from entering the office, I'm afraid the lord's office would be destroyed."
"Huh? The retainers and women? What are they looking for me for?" Tang Long asked strangely.
"I asked you to attend their dance party. They all came to deliver the invitations in person. It seems that they are ulterior motives." Yuna joked.
"Prom? Not interested." Tang Long muttered with a frown, he didn't care about Yuna's words. Tang Long quickly put all these aside and said to Sally: "You came just in time. How is the reorganization of the troops?"
"I sent all the soldiers of the Tang family on the 21 X-ships into the barracks, and replaced them with the soldiers and apes we trained before. These people still have to wait for them to stabilize their emotions before letting them enter the army." Sally nodded Said.
"Well, tell me about the current situation of the army." Tang Long listened attentively after finishing speaking.
"Yes, there are now 44 X battleships, 50 advanced battleships, 20 hive battleships, and 440 transport ships. However, 28 of the X battleships are seriously damaged and need a week of repairs to restore them. There are 5.7 million soldiers in total, including One million apes." Speaking of this, Sally suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, my lord, when I checked the 21 X battleships, I found that the Caesar family had a new kind of warship. There are only 5 ships in the number, but this Five warships destroyed dozens of Tang family warships, and it can be said that the reason why the Tang family failed in the Red Lion Star was largely because of these five warships."
"Huh? The Caesars have a new warship? What shape is it? It's so powerful? Could it be another copy from the game "War"?" Tang Long asked in surprise.
Hearing Sally's words, Ling Li who stayed aside also became interested. Because she is in charge of intelligence, this matter about the new battleship is also part of the intelligence.
"This is an image copied from the computer. Take a look." Sally took out a card, and when she pressed the button on the corner of the card, a strange battleship appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this battleship shaped like a Mitsubishi file, Tang Long groaned: "My God! The file battleship! The assault warship in the game "War"!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. This kind of battleship is the virtual battleship in the "War" game again. Ling Li, who had already taken out the notebook, said anxiously to Tang Long, "Quickly tell me the data of this battleship."
Tang Long shook his head and said, "I don't remember very well either. If you have a chance, you can go to the "War" game and have a look. There are all kinds of data on it." After hearing this, Ling Li secretly decided to take the battleship data in the "War" game. Copy them all, because there may be new battleships appearing in the future.
"You must know the general situation, right? Tell us." Seeing that Ling Li was so anxious that she wanted to go to the "War" game immediately, Yuna couldn't help but said.
Tang Long nodded, thought for a while and said: "This kind of file warship does not rely on artillery or missiles to destroy enemy ships. This kind of warship relies on thick skin and tough mouth to destroy enemy ships. The protective cover of this kind of warship is only 500 speed, but this shield is not used to defend against laser beams, but to defend against objects such as meteors."
"Then how could this kind of warship have been attacked by gunfire? I saw on the computer that they were attacked by tens of thousands of laser beams, but nothing happened!" Sally asked eagerly, she didn't want to encounter To this kind of warship that is not afraid of laser beams.
"The special thing about this kind of warship is its astonishingly thick hull. Do you know how many people drive such a big warship?" Before everyone shook their heads, Tang Long said: "Only 10 people! A captain, A radar operator, a communicator, two pilots, two gunners, and three power furnace maintainers, they stay in a room a little bigger than our room. Except for a huge engine and energy bank, the entire battleship It's all metal hulls!"
"Such a thick ship?! No wonder you're not afraid of laser beams!" Sally looked at the file warship on the holographic image, and said, because it can be seen that the diameter of this warship is at least more than 200 meters, minus the cockpit. As well as the space for the engine storage and energy storage, the thickness of each side of this battleship is estimated to be 50 to 60 meters at the most conservative estimate! Although the laser beam can penetrate metal, it is impossible to penetrate such a thick metal, and it has a protective cover.
