The air in the communication hall was completely frozen, and for a long while, the emperor's voice could only be heard asking: "When did you guys... come here?"
Admiral Aaron was still in the stupor after the heavy blow, like a stuck robot, maintaining the state of opening, closing, opening, closing...but unable to speak a word.
Kaleyan glanced at the emperor hesitantly, with an unconcealable sympathy in his tone: "Start with why you are dissatisfied with me."
emperor:"… "
The emperor finally lived up to everyone's expectations and became angry from embarrassment: "What are you two doing here at this time?!"
"Marshal, aren't you dissatisfied with me?" Aaron finally squeezed out his voice with difficulty: "You misunderstood, in fact, there is nothing between me and that little boy—"
Celia: "No, no, I didn't mean that..."
Emperor: "Aaron! What did you call me?!"
Aaron: "He's been on the list of the most unpopular men in the Empire for fifty years, and he can't be beaten away like a fly—"
Celia: "I know Aaron, calm down and listen to me..."
Emperor: "That's the internal evaluation of the Omega Protection Association! It's not authoritative at all!"
Aaron: "So Marshal, you can insult my personality but you must never doubt my taste—"
Celia: "I was wrong Aaron, I want to apologize to you..."
"Enough!" The emperor jumped up and said angrily, "So what are you two doing here?!"
Aaron sat behind the podium covering his face, Celia patted him kindly on the shoulder, Kaleyan leaned against the door frame and shook the material in his hand: "The battle is over, discuss something with the marshal, you are here What are you doing Xiaobai... the emperor? Can't you come to inspect the work?"
"What's wrong with the inspection work? This is the territory of the empire's base station empire. I can't come?!"
"Of course not. You were responsible for this matter from the beginning to the end. You haven't settled with you yet, but you have the face to check the work?"
The emperor felt that these words sounded familiar. After a few seconds, he reacted and asked angrily: "I said that all of you have forgotten that the Dark Star Hall was attracted by the alliance?!"
Aaron continued to sit behind the podium covering his face, Celia continued to pat him on the shoulder with a kind face, and Kaleyan turned his head to flip through the documents, concentrating on it.
"..." The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly, and after a long while, he finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for hundreds of years: "Where is my whiteness, and you always call me a little boy?!"
There was silence in the hall, and everyone hesitated to speak.
After a while, Aaron raised his head and said seriously: "Heinrich, I'm sorry I didn't tell you all this time, but what they want to say is that you have the potential to be soft."
The emperor, who had the potential to eat soft food, stayed viciously and had a meal. He ate his leftover steak and diamond fruit in Celia's bowl, and didn't give any to Kaleyan—anyway, the drool-stained It's also his own saliva, nothing to dislike.
Kaleyan originally wanted to talk to Celia about giving a public speech to the people after the war, but the emperor and general of the empire were present, so it was hard to say too much, so he only passed on a few vague sentences. Aaron has no taboos. He went to the kitchen to ask for wine and drank a glass of wine, and told the emperor about the situation of the frontline war. Anyway, the most core information was stolen by Celia, and the empire and the alliance were destined to join forces. Minutiae information is meaningless if it is too hidden.
"It is said that there are 16,000 large warships and tens of millions of nuclear fusion unmanned fighters. They usually do not sail in the real universe at all, but only travel in the five-dimensional space. They come back from the gap in time and space when they are approaching the Star Gate. Start the battle, first use the bio-light armor team as the butcher knife to tear apart the local garrison, and then use the star gate to make a leap." Aaron raised his neck and took a sip of wine, saying: "The battlefields of tens of thousands of light years are passed by this method. —Simple and crude method of propulsion."
Kaleyan didn't take it seriously, "They used this simple and crude propulsion method to defeat the Big Bear Galaxy..."
"It wasn't defeated," Aaron immediately retorted: "It's just that it didn't stop it. The local garrisons in the Big Bear galaxy immediately set off to pursue along the way. The garrisons of the galaxies that were defeated before also did the same. Now the Dark Star Hall fleet is chasing hundreds of thousands of empires." The fleet, once it catches up—"
"You can't catch up," Kaleyan said lazily, "People use this simple and crude method to make sure you can't catch up."
Aaron raised his golden eyebrows, and just as he was about to retort, Heinrich said, "It's true that I can't catch up."
Aaron immediately wanted to defend his generals, but when he turned around, he saw the emperor gnawing on a bone in one hand and a wine glass in the other, and shrugged frankly at him: "To defeat the enemy, you can only Their target starry sky gate is heavily deployed, and a long and thick fleet lineup is formed to block it. Now the number of imperial fleets chasing behind the Dark Star Hall is enough, but the starry sky gate is too large, and in the vast universe It is completely impossible to predict where the enemy army will appear, and it will be too late to rush to fight after getting the news.”
"This is the case with the Kramul galaxy that was defeated before: after the dark star fleet passed, they immediately sent pursuers, but then the enemy sneaked into the five-dimensional space. The enemy army had carried out dimensionality reduction somewhere hundreds of light-years away from them, but by the time they rushed there, the local garrison in the Great Bear Galaxy had been defeated by the Dark Star Dragonriders, and in the end they could only watch the enemy army march away , once again entered the five-dimensional space.”
"In the final analysis, our space technology is not as good as others, and the enemy's whereabouts are almost elusive to us." Heinrich concluded, and then turned to Celia: "Marshal, what do you think?"
"It's the commander of the legion," Celia said hoarsely, drinking the soup one after another.
The feeling of hunger just now came and went quickly, and he was full after eating half a bowl of rice, but for some reason, he still wanted to eat, as if he wanted to store energy for his body at any time.
The trouble is, he starts to feel sleepy as soon as there is something in his stomach, his thinking is a bit gel-like, and his eyelids always sink inadvertently.
"The basic reason is that the Dark Star Dragonriders are highly lethal, and it is very difficult for the local garrisons in various galaxies to meet the enemy when they are prepared. As a result, the Dark Star Fleet can pass through the Starry Sky Gate smoothly every time." Celia raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. , said tiredly: "The main reason is that your space tactics are indeed inferior to others... Maybe the mobility is not very good, and the level of cooperation between the garrisons of various galaxies is too poor."
This remark hits the nail on the head.
The empire is not like the alliance. The central government has great control over the garrisons of the local galaxies. The space is also like a small kingdom, and things that block and suppress each other happen from time to time.
Although Aaron is an admiral, the majestic king of the empire, at most he can only fully control the Gemini garrison directly under the center of the empire, and his control over the troops in the hands of the various nobles below is relatively limited. What's more, Lieutenant General Giuseppe was sent by the Imperial Army to lead the battle this time - this is also one of the founding generals, of course there is nothing to say about his loyalty, but as a coordinator and coordinator, he will fight against those powerful families with their own military power. In his heart, he was still a little bit worse.
The space tactics are not as good as the Dark Star Hall, so it can only be made up by the quick cooperation between friendly forces. But if the coordinator is outstretched and all friendly forces are wary of each other, which has a great negative impact on mobility... How can you catch up with the Dark Star Hall
Then it is completely reasonable for the Dark Star Fleet to use this simple and crude method to traverse the tens of thousands of light-year battlefields.
"Giuseppe still doesn't have enough confidence for those people below..." Heinrich pondered, and reached out his hand and nodded: "Aaron, you will replace him after the peace talks are over, if you really can't do it, just kill a few of them and be honest. "
Aaron nodded naturally - so it is true that he is a ruthless and murderous king according to the folklore. This is how the reputation of the imperial general was saved.
"Where is the alliance?" Celia suddenly interrupted them, "Since we have agreed to join forces, the position of commander cannot be without members of the alliance?"
Heinrich and Aaron glanced at each other, and there was a trace of hesitation in their eyes at the same time.
The position of the commander is very important. Since the alliance has come to the coalition as an equal, it is reasonable to obtain a small half or even half of the command power.
But if Celia personally fights on the alliance side, then even if the empire sends Admiral Aaron, the command power will inevitably be greatly tilted. It is well known that Celia's prestige, authority, and popular support are huge. He disagreed, could it be Celia who gave in
"If the alliance has a suitable candidate, it is not difficult to discuss..."
Aaron said carefully, and just when he was trying to find a suitable reason to bypass this topic, Celia laughed and patted Kaleyan on the shoulder: "The position of commander-in-chief is very important, and of course the commander of the alliance will go into battle in person." , this is the most suitable candidate for us."
Aaron: "...Huh?!"
Take to the battlefield with the sworn enemy! Not as good as Marshal Celia!
Aaron's mood was ups and downs; but before he had time to resist, Heinrich said very naturally: "That's fine, Kaleyan... the marshal is indeed the most suitable candidate!" .”
— Now you admit that he is the marshal again!
Aaron caught a glimpse of Kaleyan's half-smiling expression, and his eyes turned black. He only wished that he hadn't been beaten to the ground in the martial arts competition that day. The emperor probably also felt that he was speaking too quickly, and hurriedly held down Admiral Aaron, who was about to explode, and said, "However, the command power must be divided according to the comparison of the strength of the two countries-the empire has 400,000 warships that can be put into the battlefield, how many warships does the alliance have?" ? If it is too little, it may not be very good in terms of the right to speak... "
Now Kaleyan became emotionally ups and downs, and Aaron lifted his spirits: "Yes! The Gemini garrison still has 600,000 warships on standby!"
Kaleyan immediately looked back at Celia.
"A strong force of one million warships..." Celia rubbed her chin and said with a smile, "The total population of the alliance is not so large."
Admiral Aaron had a face full of hopelessness.
"However, the pre-war conscription speech has not yet been held, and the Glory Legion should usher in an opportunity for rapid expansion." Celia paused, narrowing her eyes and smiling under the stunned gazes of Heinrich and Aaron: "Although it is still not comparable to the number of troops sent by the empire, in terms of the right to speak, it should not be too light."
conscription
Just one Legion of Glory has almost exhausted the adult males of the alliance, and still recruits? Is it impossible to drag all the old, young, women and children of the alliance to the battlefield
The emperor wondered: "...where do you plan to recruit from?"
Celia did not answer, but raised the corners of her lips meaningfully: "This is none of your business, Heinrich. Although you are a novice—"
The room was dead silent.
Celia buried her face in Kaleyan's shoulder, raised her head after a few seconds, and said nonchalantly, "Although you are the emperor, there are still many things out of your control... Of course, you can recruit from the Milky Way, and you can also recruit from the Dark Star Hall." Can't sign it?"
After a long silence, Heinrich asked: "...you just meant to talk about the boy, right?"
"..."
The emperor jumped up against the case, couldn't bear it anymore and said: "So what's the point?-?!"
