Under pressure from the Alliance, the Empire changed its tune.
They beautified the aggression as a "verification".
The logic of the empire is impeccable from the beginning to the end - the countries of the Halo Church have discovered iridium mines, and it is possible to use iridium mines to produce weapons of mass destruction, endangering the safety of the empire and the entire universe. In order to avoid this disaster, the empire must send an inspection team , Check the state, if the result of the verification is true, the empire can justifiably occupy the state.
"Host, I don't understand." The system said: "You didn't develop the iridium mine, I mean, General Ares did have this idea, but he hasn't had time to actually implement it... So, isn't the so-called verification of the empire Did it fail?"
"You don't understand human beings too well." Li Yuebai said: "There is no possibility of the verification failing, and there will definitely be criminal evidence."
"Host, do you mean that the empire will definitely forge the evidence that you use iridium ore to make weapons?"
"yes."
"What about the alliance?" The system asked eagerly: "As long as the alliance and the empire arrive at the same time and verify at the same time, it will be difficult for the empire to forge..."
"The alliance will never arrive at the same time as the empire." Li Yuebai said: "The alliance also has a role that the alliance wants to play. From the beginning to the end, the alliance only wants to be the oriole catching cicadas, and let the empire act as that hateful invader , and then the alliance appeared behind the empire, in the name of fighting the aggressors and maintaining peace, and fighting the empire openly, so that the alliance also has a half chance of winning, and there is no need to be condemned by the pacifists in the country... "
In the game between big countries, small countries have no choice but to lie quietly and wait to be eaten.
Soon, the empire's so-called "verification fleet" was assembled.
The so-called inspection fleet is actually a battle fleet, a battle fleet that has been armed to the teeth after hundreds of battles—with 50 million sergeants, 500 giant flagships, and countless small ships and aircraft, all equipped with the highest-end weapons.
Emperor Ymir Berich of the empire thought it was worthwhile to exchange so much life and money for a planet rich in iridium ore.
What's more, Emperor Ymilberich didn't think that the empire would suffer any losses at all—in the face of such a powerful deterrent of force, any small country could only surrender without a fight. If a small country refused to surrender, it would only need to pay a small price , they can all be wiped out.
The most difficult enemy, on the contrary, is the alliance that follows behind and looks at it, trying to get a piece of the pie.
The alliance also prepared a peacekeeping fleet of 39 million people, and set off after the empire's verification fleet.
However, considering the political system of the alliance, it is not as straightforward as the empire. The opposition within the alliance has always been promoting peace and opposing war. The ruling party of the alliance may not dare to fight the empire. The final result is likely to be Deterring each other, negotiating games, and finally, sitting down and sharing the cake.
Even a cake that is destined to be eaten has a struggle before it is eaten.
The countries of the Star Ring Church started a series of actions to "welcome the inspection" in name, but in fact it was self-defense.
The pope and the prime minister summoned Li Yuebai to a meeting every day in the pope's living room. From the time the stars rose from the horizon until the pink sky turned black, the meeting would never end.
At this moment, everyone's spirits are tense.
Under the surface of nervous preparations, both the prime minister and the pope are already ready to flee.
From top to bottom, no one believes that Bang Guo has the possibility of winning.
"Host, even your immediate boss, the highly respected Pope, has already planned to escape, aren't you surprised?" The system said: "After all, such behavior is very inconsistent with his usual majestic appearance."
"What's so surprising about something I've known for a long time?" Li Yuebai said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank His Majesty the Pope. His escape plan was arranged and completed very early, which is why he acquiesced. The Prime Minister's assassination of the Field Marshal."
The Marshal's assassination was the trigger, lighting a powder keg that would explode sooner or later.
If the Pope hadn't been fully prepared, it would be impossible to allow this fuse to be lit.
"Host, I deeply sympathize with you in this situation." The system said sadly.
"Sympathy for what?"
"As far as I know, when you crossed for the third time, thanks to the original owner, you once had a strong military command ability." The system said: "But now... those abilities have not remained."
"Of course, the ability and knowledge are in the mind of the original owner." Li Yuebai said: "It wasn't my thing in the first place."
"It's like the wings of a bird that has touched the sky have been broken." The system said sadly, "This will aggravate your sense of powerlessness, and I sympathize."
"It's not necessary." Li Yuebai smiled: "I don't intend to lead the fleet to fight against Cesar, anyway..."
"—No chance of winning." The system said.
Even if Ray Ares is allowed to command the battle, the chances of winning are still very small.
Not enough ships, not enough weapons, not enough sergeants, not enough expenses... not enough of everything.
Even so, Ray Ares still has no intention of admitting defeat. He fell into a tragic and busy state, presiding over the military preparations for all preparations for the battle. The preparations he made in a hurry before, such as increasing the intensity of conscription and expanding military expenditures, have all come in handy now.
"Ding!" The system reminded: "Host, no matter what time it is, don't forget your mission..."
A task bar popped up in front of my eyes, saying: Tasks to be completed (1)
Li Yuebai opened the task details, and was immediately confused by the long description.
"What's going on, system, why is the mission described so complicated." Li Yuebai frowned and said, "Isn't the mission content to defeat Cizer?"
"That's right, but I have also emphasized that it is also very important to keep the iridium mine." The system said: "For example, in case you just killed Cesar, but the state was occupied by the empire, so strict It doesn't count as your win..."
"I understand." Li Yuebai said: "It's no wonder you use such complicated words to describe the concept of task completion..."
"Yes, because the matter is too complicated, it must be clearly defined as to what counts as the completion of the task." The system said.
"Don't make detours." Li Yuebai sighed: "According to the Lord God's always harsh practice, if I want to pass this dress, I'm afraid I have to meet several conditions at the same time."
"Yes, the Lord God is indeed too strict."
"First, to defeat César, either kill him, imprison him, or make him bow down to me." Li Yuebai said.
"yes."
"Second, don't let the empire or the alliance steal the iridium mine."
"yes."
"Thirdly, the kingdom of the Star Ring Church cannot suffer major loss of life and property. It is best not to die even one person." Li Yuebai said.
"Yes..." the system said guilty.
"Do you think it's possible?" Li Yuebai smiled.
"It seems difficult..." The more the system said, the more guilty it became.
The Lord God is not only harsh, but also whimsical.
In this situation of disparity in strength, it is simply...
"Okay, the system, help me tell the Lord God, so that he will not go back on his word." Li Yuebai smiled.
"Yes." The system has no idea where the host's mysterious confidence comes from.
The attendant quickly ran over and said, "Dear High Priest, it's time for you to give a speech..."
Li Yuebai nodded, and walked towards the temple under the guard of his attendants.
The pope and the prime minister gave him an important task-to issue an external statement.
The content of the statement was determined by the pope, the prime minister and the military through discussions, and the wording was written by the secretariat. Li Yuebai only needed to read the statement out.
In the temple, photographers from various regions have gathered, and countless lenses and flashes are aimed at the open space in the center.
Li Yuebai dragged a long and luxurious white robe, walked towards the center of the temple step by step, and stood in front of the huge star ring symbol. With a gentle expression on his face, he nodded to the camera and the crowd.
There was no sound in the temple, and the camera faithfully recorded the speech and broadcast it to the entire universe synchronously.
"Everyone, it's 5236 in the Gregorian calendar and 9804 in the star ring calendar." Li Yuebai said, "The ancestors created the best era, but we are turning it into the worst era."
"From the moment humans were born in the Blue Star Ocean, war has been with us like a shadow, never far away from us. We are the only animals that can slaughter our own kind, and we put all kinds of gorgeous clothes on this slaughter, We celebrate war, glorify war, and dedicate ourselves to war."
"In the barbaric era, everything was a forced compromise for survival. At that time, we had very little land and a huge population, and war could allow some of them to survive. Therefore, we chose war."
"But now. We have the boundless and vast sea of stars. The survival problem that has plagued us for thousands of generations is no longer a problem thanks to the pioneers."
"However, the war has not left us. The warlike gene is deeply carved in every cell of us, because of fear, estrangement, inertia, and the darkness buried deep in our hearts... To this day, we are still slaves to war. "Li Yuebai smiled: "I am full of good hopes for the future. I hope that one day, human beings can break this shackles and save themselves from endless prisons of war... But it can't be now, now, I think Not at all possible."
"Host, you seem to have taken the topic too far." The system reminded: "Should I focus on the point?"
"Then let's get back to reality and talk about the present." Li Yuebai changed his romantic tone with hazy expectations to serious diplomatic rhetoric: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Galactic Empire accused our country of mining iridium mines and building large Large-scale starships, trying to endanger all mankind... I must solemnly declare that these are not facts."
"Not only will we not use iridium metal to make weapons, but we also don't want to see other countries illegally plunder the iridium metal on LAJ8807 for weapon manufacturing." Li Yuebai said: "We welcome the inspection fleet of the empire to come to check, but If there is no problem, please leave."
A certain fleet of the Galactic Empire, the flagship command room.
The beautiful boy with blond hair was sitting in the captain's seat, his golden eyes were staring at the big screen in front of him. On the screen, the High Priest of Star Ring Church was making a statement in a gentle but firm tone.
Behind him, the door of the control room opened, and the adjutant stepped in cautiously, holding a tray carefully in his hand. The tray was filled with a thick stack of battle plans, and a bouquet of flowers was symbolically decorated beside it. and some fruit.
"Your Highness." The adjutant stood beside the young man and said in a low voice, "About our inspection work in the countries of the Star Ring Church..."
"Oh?" The boy turned his face, showing a very kind and lovely smile: "Thanks for your hard work."
"Your Highness, do you need to read these proposals?"
"No need." César raised his hand, took a fresh crystal-clear fruit from the tray, took a bite, and twirled it by his ear with the other free hand: "It's all here, Destroy it."
"Yes." The adjutant looked in disbelief at the delicate and lovely boy in front of him, and couldn't believe that he had such a genius mind: "The eighth column that rebelled a few days ago..."
"Execution, all." César smiled and picked another fruit.
The adjutant didn't dare to say anything more, and took orders to go out.
On the screen, the high priest is saying the phrase "... Please leave."
"How is it possible to leave? My Obscure Moon." César licked the bright red juice from his fingertips, his voice was as gentle as if he was treating a lover.
Won't leave until his last drop of blood is drained.
