What does it mean to be bold?

What does it mean to be willful?

An Xiya has opened her eyes, she has really seen the brutal and willful side of women, which is not just coquettish.

From Princess Xinyu's words to her demeanor to her body movements, this is not a question from her daughter to her father at all, but more like a question from a politician to those in power, and a question about the emperor's ruling rights and prestige.

An Xiya was very scared, she was really worried that Princess Xinyu's aggressive questioning would anger the emperor's black pupil, so she kept giving her daughter a look, and shook her head one after another to signal her not to say any more.

But......

Princess Xinyu didn't care about her mother An Xiya's dissuasive eyes, and continued to say loudly: "I just listened to your father's words, and then I told the classmates around me that the empire will win, and it will definitely win a hearty victory, but what is the result?"

"There are classmates in our academy who don't believe it, not to say that the destruction of the Sixth Fleet of the Empire already means that the enemy is very powerful, and rashly gather most of the troops to go out brazenly, without making a full summary of the defeat, and even lack of understanding of the enemy, without knowing what the enemy's strength is, to set off a second battle, will inevitably be defeated!"

"We both have our own opinions, so we simply bet on it, I bet all my savings and pocket money, and even borrowed a lot, but Father, you actually lost, are you worthy of me?

Princess Xinyu said as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

In terms of appearance, An Xiya is already a mixed-race bloodline of four races, plus royal blood, Princess Xinyu is a super mixed-race, so she is tall and graceful, with outstanding temperament, flowing blonde hair and fair skin, with those purple eyes, when quiet and tranquil, she can give people a sense of elf-like sight.

In the academy, she is a highly respected noble princess, a noble goddess coveted by countless nobles and wealthy people in the empire!

But now, the 'elf' is like an old gambler who has lost a bet, and he is angry at the emperor's black pupils.

The Garan Empire has a history of tens of thousands of years, there are countless children of royal nobles, and there are a lot of princes, princes and princesses in the royal family.

Princess Xinyu was no exception, and when it came to winning or losing the second battle, she was as determined as most people to win, and she was always betting heavily.

But the truth is often not in the hands of the majority of people, otherwise there would not be so few scientists.

The tragic defeat in the second battle was the loss of the most important combat force for the empire, and for Princess Xinyu, of course, she cared more about losing all her wealth.

The much-spoiled Princess Xinyu has received many rewards over the years, and there are a lot of rare treasures, although she spends a lot of money in school, but she can't stand her money, like a super rich man.

Of course, those who dare to gamble with most people who are sure of victory are not ordinary people, and those who can study at the Royal Women's College cannot be poor.

The rational judgment and objective analysis of the other party made them unswervingly choose 'defeat', and according to the rules of betting, no matter how much the bet is on both sides of the winning and losing sides, the winner unconditionally takes all the bets of the loser.

What's more, this super gamble of the aristocratic children's circle is not only the women's college, but also the students of other aristocratic schools, and there are many people who are not optimistic about the victory of the empire.

In short, Princess Xinyu, who is now standing in front of Hei Tong and An Xiya, is already a poor bastard with nothing and huge debts.

Looking at his daughter's angry appearance, Hei Hitomi sighed in his heart, but he didn't speak.

"Father, don't stop talking! Do you know that now the Empire's civilian star network has exploded! Major news media, major web portals, all social software and platforms, are everywhere talking about the defeat of the Empire!"

"This huge war loss has begun to cause shocks in major industries, I just saw a number of stock exchanges, many stocks have fallen to the limit, and many people say on the Internet that the empire has no interstellar combat forces, without the protection of the starfleet, the empire has become a lamb to the slaughter, the enemy may launch an invasion war at any time, and our good days are over......"

"Enough!!"

The black pupil couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly slammed the table and stood up.

This sudden anger immediately startled An Xiya, she didn't dare to pull and persuade her daughter, but got up and knelt on the ground as soon as possible, sincerely afraid.

However, the bold Princess Xinyu will not have any fear, she still looks at the black pupils with a cold face.

"You are angry with your father! I remember that not long ago, Duke Kanan killed Rak at the gate of the palace in public, and you were not so angry, it seems that you also know how dangerous and passive the Garan Empire is without interstellar combat troops!"

Princess Xinyu's expression seemed to be mocking, and she almost made it clear directly.

Black Hitomi snorted coldly and said, "I know what you want to say, not only you, but many people will definitely feel that in this second battle failure, I have an unshirkable responsibility." ”

"Yes! I confess that the total annihilation of the Sixth Fleet has made me overly angry, and I hastened to gather heavy forces to launch a second battle, but do you think I don't want to be fully prepared to act again? Entez led the people to defect, 11 warships led by Tolthart disappeared mysteriously, and 21 warships led by Rency were tragically destroyed...... This major event has forced me to have no way out, and I must make a tough choice!"

At this point, Hitomi paused for a moment as she crossed her hands on her hips and took a deep breath.

"The second battle started in a hurry, and I actually had the worst plan, so I talked to Yaze at the time, the expeditionary fleet was formed by the three most powerful fleets, and the combat effectiveness was already strong enough to deal with the situation, but just in case, we still formed a reserve with two fleets, and even left the fourth and eighth fleets ......"

Hitomi smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up the wine glass on the table and poured herself a sip.

"But who would have thought that the enemy is so powerful! Our expeditionary fleet is not their opponent at all, and as the battle situation deteriorates, the reserves are on board, and the fourth and eighth fleets are also on board, but they still can't defeat the enemy, what can I do? I'm also helpless!"

Hei Tong looked at Princess Xinyu beside her, put down the wine glass, pulled it into her arms like a hard pull, and comforted: "This damn war is lost, it's not what I think, you want to win the gamble, I want to win the war even more, so don't be angry, I'll pay you the debt for you, and give you another compensation, okay?"

Princess Xinyu was lying on the shoulder of the black pupil, and her eyes were a little red.

"Money doesn't matter, I'm worried that the defeat of the Battle of the Planets of Harak will be a precursor to the decline of our Garan Empire? Many people sing the story of the royal family, implying that our hegemony is coming to an end, and when the enemy invades strongly, it is the time when the empire falls apart...... I'm really scared!"

Xin Yu cried while hugging the black pupil tightly.

Hei Tong gently patted her daughter's back and comforted her softly: "Silly boy, don't worry! The empire has come through thousands of years of ups and downs, are you still afraid of this little difficulty? Don't worry, I have witnessed the whole battle of this battle, we have suffered heavy losses, and the enemy is not having a good time!"

Xin Yu let go of his father's embrace, wiped his tears and muttered: "Really? But some people on the Internet say that the enemy is more advanced in science and technology than us, and their losses are minimal, but we are completely annihilated!"

"Fart!!"

The black pupil scolded: "This kind of person who has nothing to do and spreads rumors to slander the empire should all be arrested and put to death, are they worthy of the soldiers who are desperate on the battlefield?"

Xin Yu lowered his head and muttered: "Netizens speak like this, they don't know the truth, of course they are talking nonsense based on their own imagination!"

With black eyes, he scolded loudly: "Hmph! This kind of person is really more hateful than the enemy, and I should really send this kind of person who speaks without scruples and sense of proportion to the interstellar battlefield, I want to see if their mouth cannons can blow up the enemy's interstellar battleship!"

After that, Hei Tong suddenly realized that An Xiya was gone.

"Ai Fei, Ai Fei?"

"Your Majesty!

After hearing the shout, An Xiya stood up tremblingly.

Hei Tong immediately scolded: "Why do you always kneel at every turn, there are no outsiders here, we are a family, you don't have to stick to etiquette, learn more from our daughter, when you are in a bad mood, you have to lose your temper, hide everything in your heart, be careful of getting sick!"

"Why are you still stunned? Sit, do you want me to bring you a chair with my own hands before you are willing to sit?"

After scolding, Hei Hitomi took the lead in sitting down and eating.

Princess Xinyu grimaced at An Xiya before she sat down next to Hei Hitomi.

"Father, you just said that the enemy also suffered heavy losses in this battle, is it true? I feel that the enemy seems to be particularly powerful, first destroying our Sixth Fleet, and then killing our full seven fleets, making our Garan Empire a hemorrhage!"

While speaking, Xin Yu took the initiative to serve black pupils with vegetables, and his attitude became a lot more respectful.

"The battle is still highly confidential, since you want to know so much, then I'll tell you a few words!"

Hei Tong turned around, took his daughter's hand, and said earnestly: "You have studied, you should know that power is mutual, and the same is true of war, the enemy's scientific and technological strength is equal to ours, in terms of the number of warships, they are not as good as us!"

"The reason why they were able to win was mainly because they were on the defensive, occupying the geographical advantage, and at the same time, for this battle, they had obviously made careful and meticulous preparations, but the hundreds of interstellar warships of the empire were not vegetarians, even if they were all destroyed, they would still make the enemy suffer heavy losses!"

Hei Tong patted her daughter's hand and said, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, our fleet even forced the enemy to the point of launching a decisive attack with starships, that is, driving the battleship to crash into our warship, after all, for them, we are invaders, and they will defend their homeland to the death!"

"Therefore, you don't have to worry about the enemy invading our empire strongly, this battle has exhausted both sides, and it will take time to recuperate, how can they have the strength to quickly launch a counterattack against our empire?

Princess Xinyu nodded secretly, and then asked very curiously: "If the battle of the planet of Harak is a failed invasion battle in which the empire takes the initiative to invade the marauder civilization, since everyone has suffered such heavy losses, can we not invade each other, and everyone can sit down and negotiate peacefully?"

Negotiation?

Hei Tong immediately shook his head and said: "Peace negotiation is not about the mercy and sympathy of the strong giving to the weak, but the interests of both sides are appealing, so they will take the step of negotiation, and it is a compromise of the interests of the weak and the weak!"

"And as far as the current situation is concerned, the strength of both sides is very strong, and we can afford to win and lose, the victory or defeat of the battle of the Harak planet has not yet made both of us hurt our bones, so neither of us will ask for negotiations, everyone believes that their strength is enough, and they believe that they can have the last laugh, and it is impossible to negotiate without fighting to the death!"

Princess Xinyu nodded as if she didn't understand, and after a while, she asked again: "Then if the enemy doesn't counterattack and invade us, after we recover our strength, will we launch a third battle and kill back to Harak Planet to take revenge?"

"This ......"

Hei Hitomi hesitated, "This depends on the next changes in the situation, of course, the most important thing is that we lack an understanding of the enemy, and I will not easily launch a third battle before we are sure of victory! Although the offensive has the advantage of taking the initiative, the experience of defeat tells me that active and effective defense is the better chance of victory!"

……

At the dinner, Hei Hitomi was like a chatter, constantly analyzing the war situation with his daughter, saying that he was comforting his daughter, but in fact, to a large extent, he was also comforting himself.

He wanted to make himself feel that losing the war was not the end of the empire, the empire's strength was still extremely strong, and the defeat only made the empire temporarily lose the capital to invade other civilizations, as long as there was enough time to adjust, it would soon be able to recover, not to mention invading the enemy again, at least defending itself against strong enemies.

If you want to bring down the Garan Empire, how can it be so easy?

But fate just likes to joke, and Qin Tian likes not to play cards according to the routine the most.

Come and don't be rude!

Just allow the aggressive invasion of the Garan Empire, and not allow Qin Tian to judge the situation and launch a counterattack?

As the saying goes, take advantage of your illness to kill you.

If you don't take advantage of the defeat of the Garan Empire to launch a counterattack, do you have to wait for the other party to recover before acting? This kind of stupid thing can only be done by a fool whose brain has been kicked by a donkey!

If people are not ruthless, they will not be able to stand firmly!

In this dark universe where the weak eat the strong, it is destined to be a mountain that cannot tolerate two tigers, since they are at odds with the Garan Empire, then don't stop, if they don't teach the Garan Empire a lesson, they don't know how powerful Qin Tian is.

Peace is made, not begged.

Backwardness means being beaten, and if you want not to be bullied by the Garan Empire, only if you are stronger, braver, and more fierce than the enemy, and beat them down, will there be peace and tranquility.

Therefore, as soon as the war ended, Qin Tian rushed back to Earth at night to prepare for a counterattack......
