Chapter 1378: Surrender?
Bang!
The wine glass carved from jade jade was smashed to the ground and splattered into slag.
Boom!
With a strong kick, the table full of wine and delicacies overturned with a bang, and the cups and plates spilled all over the ground.
Fu Min, the Minister of Military Affairs, knelt on the ground and trembled, not daring to squeak.
The black pupil paced back and forth, and his face was gloomy to the extreme.
"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! It's all the other way around, it's all the other way around, right?"
Fu Min gritted his teeth, buried his head and didn't know how to answer, and he didn't have the courage to connect.
It happened suddenly, and it was too sensational.
The Demon Planet is in a fierce battle, the situation is precarious, and it is possible that the opposing starfleet will break through the defensive line and land on the planet at any time.
In order to save the Demon Planet from fire and water, and in order to reduce the pressure on defense, Black Pupil issued an imperial order, asking the Imperial Reserve Force to unseal all the old interstellar warships that were decommissioned and mothballed.
The 124 interstellar battleships that have been decommissioned in the past ten years have all undergone preliminary overhaul and inspection, confirming that the power, communication, fire control and other subsystems are still intact, and they can go out of port to fight after installing the necessary materials and ammunition.
There are starships, they are always a little old, but they have solved the problem, but these starships are not fully intelligently controlled, and they must be controlled by the crew in order to operate and fight normally.
The trouble is, however, that there is a problem with personnel recruitment.
After the Cyberbol became independent, Black Pupil issued an order to exterminate the race, but on the planet that the Garan Empire can control now, there are no Cyberboles, and veterans who have retired in the past five or ten years are not Cyberbols, but the problem lies in these people.
Two hours ago.
Coercion, inducement, intimidation, and coercion, these 124 barely scraped together starships left the port, but the command system of this improvised assault fleet is too bad, the supreme commander is a reserve officer in charge, there are no staff officers who should be there, and the command system in the fleet and in the battleship is extremely chaotic.
Not only that, many veterans who have been retired for many years are very unfamiliar with the operation of battleships and are not proficient enough at all.
Therefore, not long after this departure, 11 of the 124 starships had to temporarily suspend their voyages due to improper operation and constant fault alarms.
What's even more strange is that 17 starships broke away from the ferry formation due to navigation problems during the voyage.
Of course, what really made the black pupils angry was that there were as many as 39 starships that had not broken down, had not been misoperated, and had not lost their way, and that they were relatively short and in good condition, and they actually went to the planet Allen and took refuge in the Anteng Empire of the Toramine Tart.
That's right!
Black Hitomi never dreamed that the last bit of his old book, a batch of old interstellar warships with high hopes, did not go to the interstellar battlefield of the Demon Planet, but temporarily changed their route and went to the Tormine Tart.
39 ships!
What is this concept?
Coupled with the breakdowns, lost and lost, the 124 'old dragon bell' starships that were cobbled together, before they arrived on the battlefield, they were not reduced in combat for more than half.
The most important thing is that among the remaining starships, there are no powerful Star Destroyers, and there are only 3 heavy ships, and they were built and commissioned fifty years ago, which is older than many of the crew members who put together the ship.
After half a century of service and retirement, naturally because of a series of reasons such as old technology, aging equipment, and too high cost of upgrading, it is good to be able to start out of the port, where can you expect them to gallop through the stars and fight bravely to kill the enemy?
So, what role can these remaining dozens of old starships play even if they go to the Demon Planet?
Do you give the enemy a head and add to the battle?
In a fit of anger, the black pupil simply summoned them all back, don't go to support any demon planets, and return to the space dock one by one to accept intelligent transformation, and in the future, they will not be controlled by the crew, all intelligent robots will be used, and they will be used as interstellar collision ships at one time like Qin Tian.
Now, Black Pupil has brought the military minister Fu Min to discuss what to do with the 39 interstellar warships that escaped from the battle and ran to join the Anteng Empire!
Seeing that Fu Min was silent, the black pupil gritted his teeth and said, "I really can't wait to behead them and their families and execute them, it's really infuriating! It's just a contempt for military law, and I don't take me seriously at all!"
"This bastard thing of the Topamide Tart, he is really shameless and forgets his ancestors! I am orthodox, I am the emperor of the Garan Empire, what kind of thing is he, what kind of Anteng Empire is he doing, do you really think he can dismantle my country?"
Black Hitomi was furious, pacing back and forth.
Fu Min remained silent, he really didn't know what to say at this time.
No matter how much trouble the Cyber Federation makes, it is all poor and lowly and weak races that are making trouble, and it can't hurt the foundation of the Garan Empire at all, but the Iteng Empire is different.
He is also the son of the first emperor and the younger brother of the black pupil, and the Anteng Empire he created is bound to attract many famous families, chaebol giants, and even members of the royal family to take refuge.
Originally, this guy was very popular before, and his Anteng empire was naturally full of appeal.
Of course, from a military point of view, the 39 old interstellar warships that went to Allen Planet to take refuge in Toramide Tart must have known that they would be killed if they went to the Demon Planet, and Qin Tian's interstellar expeditionary fleet could even wipe out all the eight starfleets of the empire, so wouldn't it be as easy as playing to kill these old warships?
The second must be that they feel that they have taken refuge in the Topamide Tart, and the future is bright, after all, the Anteng Empire has just been created, and they are now rushing over with the interstellar battleship, which is definitely a great achievement, and they can also get a reward and reward, and in the future, the Anteng Empire will expand step by step, and they are all heroes who have opened up the territory.
Third, it's also because if they don't go to the Demon Planet to fight to the death, and don't go to Allen Planet to join the Toramide Tart, then where can they go? Like the Fourth and Eighth Starfleets in the past, they can make the battleship out of a major Class I failure, and then return to avoid the battle?
On the Praetorian Guard training ground, the more than 7,000 heads that were cut off at one time, and the rich bloody aura of rivers of blood have not yet dissipated.
Therefore, going to the Demon Planet is to send death, and escaping and avoiding war is also death, but going to Allen Planet to take refuge in the Toramide Tart can ask for merit and reward, and the fool knows how to choose.
Fu Min even felt that if the emperor Heitong ordered him to lead the fleet to aid the Demon Planet, if it was not good, he would also lead the fleet to take refuge in the Tormine Tart halfway.
After all, there are three paths, either die on the battlefield or behead the public, and you can only live by taking refuge.
Judging from the current situation, many people are not too optimistic about the black pupil, anyway, the black pupil and the tomine tart are both royal families, and it makes no difference who is respected as the emperor?
Anyway, it's good that I didn't go to the Cyber Federation.
……
The black pupils leaked domineeringly, and Fu Min was silent.
The awkward atmosphere lasted for a long, long time.
"You get up first, don't kneel without moving!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fu Min got up, bowed back and stood aside, his head hanging in silence.
The black pupil looked at the mess of cups and plates in front of him, and couldn't help but be even more upset and irritable.
"Hey, I said Fu Min, don't keep silent all the time! You are the Minister of War, and all military-related matters in the entire empire are under your control, and it is not bad if I don't investigate and deal with your dereliction of duty and dereliction of management, now is the time for you to come up with ideas and give advice, you are silent, what do you mean? Do you also want to go to the bastard of the Tormine Tart?"
"Ah, the old minister doesn't dare!"
Fu Min was terrified and immediately knelt down, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
"Ouch!"
Hei Tong patted his forehead, immediately stomped his foot fiercely, and scolded: "Fu Min!!"
"I told you not to kneel! Don't kneel! I want you to speak! Tell me what you think, your suggestions, I am in a hurry now, the Demon Planet will be lost at any time, you have to say something!"
Fu Min stood up tremblingly and made a salute.
"Forgive the old minister for his courage, the minister thinks that now the battle situation is getting more and more intense, the enemy is too sharp, and we are at the disadvantage of being passively beaten, and our losses are getting bigger and bigger......"
"Stop, stop, you don't talk so much, talk to people! Hurry up!"
Hitomi complained impatiently.
"Armistice negotiations!"
Fu Min almost gritted his teeth and said a few words.
The black pupil was stunned for a moment, stunned, and then suddenly snorted again, followed by his hands on his hips and laughing at the sky.
The laughter was poignant and bold, as if he had fallen into madness.
The corners of Fu Min's lips twitched slightly, and the muscles of his face trembled involuntarily a few times.
As the military minister of the empire, the emperor asked to give advice, but he himself gave an offer that was almost equivalent to surrendering, which can not but be said to be a bit of 'growing the morale of others to destroy his own prestige'.
It's also thanks to the emperor Heitong who has always regarded Fu Min as a confidant, and if he wants to be someone else, he dares to make such a rebellious suggestion, I am afraid that he will be stabbed to death by the emperor on the spot, because this seems to be no different from defecting to the enemy, and they are all extremely bad in nature.
However, today's situation, to be honest, is really unsatisfactory.
Interstellar warfare is a very special form of warfare, unlike the previous land, sea and air battles in the atmosphere of a certain planet in order to compete for a certain place.
Whether it is a land, air or naval battle, as long as the national strength is strong and the population is large, it can quickly explode troops and equipment, and pull out the team to continue fighting.
But interstellar warfare is different, with too much emphasis on technology.
Starships cannot be built in a day or two, and personnel can not be trained into elite soldiers in a few weeks.
Even if the Garan Empire is urgently designing and building intelligent interstellar warships, all of which are controlled by artificial intelligence systems and intelligent robots, this is a temporary rush and hasty design, whether the technical scheme is mature, whether the command and control structure is reasonable, and whether the operation system is appropriate...... Nothing can be verified at all, and there is not enough empirical data accumulation.
Therefore, in Fu Min's view, if this war continues, the Garan Empire will not only have no hope of winning, but will lose more and more.
Rather than this, it is better to negotiate an armistice, even if it is to lose dignity and cede interests.
In the ancient and long history of the Garan Empire, there have been no examples of losing battles and ceding land and paying reparations, but as long as it can be exchanged for peace and precious time to be angry and strong, what is the use of dignity? What is the great benefit? Once you take revenge, won't you come back nothing?
A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!
What the Garan Empire lacks most now is time!
In multi-dimensional interstellar warfare, there is no such thing as 'space for time', in ancient times, the enemy invaded, and he could retreat step by step, block layer by layer, give up some cities for the enemy to spend time slowly attacking, and after the war mobilization is completed, you can organize a large army to counterattack strongly.
But interstellar warfare can't work, the enemy's interstellar warships may be attacking the Demon Planet now, maybe they will suddenly jump in space, and soon jump to other planets to make trouble, or even attack the Garan Planet.
The distance between the planets is too far, and they are all relatively independent individuals, so the enemy's attack has a strong randomness, it will not be the Jialan Empire that asks them to fight somewhere, they have to fight somewhere, if Qin Tian is willing, he will send a warship to the Jialan Planet in minutes to kill, which is something that no one can stop.
All in all, Fu Min is 10,000 unwilling to continue fighting.
What's more, the Garan Empire's civil strife is now intensifying, and the Cyber Federation is not worried, but the Anteng Empire can't sit idly by and let it swell and grow.
If you go outside, you must first settle inside!
After Fu Min expressed his opinion, he saw that Hei Tong couldn't stop laughing, and didn't let the guards with knives escort him down, so he felt a little more at ease.
Finally, the laughter stopped.
"Surrender, negotiation, hehe! Fu Min, Fu Min, your suggestion came too late!"
Too late?
What do you mean?
Fu Min was a little stunned and asked, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand very much, what does it mean to be too late?"
The black pupil turned around and laughed coldly: "Because before the outbreak of the Demon Planet War, I had someone send a short video to the 11 starships missing from the Sixth Fleet, in which I impassionedly declared war on Qin Tian and the human civilization on Earth!"
"Huh?"
Fu Min's mouth opened into an O-shape, which was incredible.
If it were someone else, Fu Min would definitely scold, this is especially sick, right? Do you owe your brain? You actually want to send such a video to the past, saying that it is a formal declaration of war, I'm afraid it's more of a fear of weakness!
Just like two people fighting, the more fierce and ruthless the person often shouts, but the weakest and the most unbeaten, he also knows this very well, so he will take advantage of his tongue and scold people to increase his ambition.
At this moment, Fu Min's mood was like a dog.
Hei Tong seemed to have guessed Fu Min's thoughts, waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't think too much, maybe it was the Topamide Tart that saw the video clip, not Qin Tian, after all, those 11 interstellar battleships were taken away by the Topamide Tart, this is the capital of his rebellion to build the Anteng Empire, Qin Tian may not be able to see it!"
"Oh! not necessarily...... yes, not necessarily!"
Fu Min shook his head gloomily, a little discouraged.
Hei Tong didn't think so, and asked again: "Don't look like a mourner, do you think I don't know that the situation is urgent now, and the armistice negotiations are the most in line with our realistic needs?"
"Do you think that if we cede a few planets and lose countless amounts of money, or precious metal hard currency or something like that, he will agree? He must know that giving us time to breathe and develop is to lay the foundation for him to be counterattacked in the future, so it is impossible to talk about an armistice negotiation!"
Fu Min opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't.
At this time, the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, Li Jing, came with a happy face......
