Zhuang Bifan has been sitting in the office until Sima Yun came to ask him to eat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

During the meal, Zhuang Bifan mentioned to her the visit of the Kaffatra mission. He smiled and said, "You have to accompany me to meet them." ”

"I know. When the time comes, you can't let Deville do any work. Sima Yun nodded and said. "Besides, aren't you going to receive them here? I'll be ready. ”

Zhuang Bifan is indeed planning to receive the Cafatra Civilization Mission on New Earth. But he didn't mean to let her help with the preparations: "I mean, you're going to receive them as my wife." ”

Sima Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "I heard that their crown prince didn't bring a female dependent, so I don't need to come forward." ”

Zhuang Bifan doesn't care whether the other party has a wife or not. The other party didn't bring Xiao San here, so Sima Yun wouldn't let her be wronged, so she, as his wife, would be qualified to interact with any head of civilization.

But if she doesn't want to, he won't force it. "I just feel like we're one," he said. ”

Sima Yun smiled and gave him a piece of meat and said, "Okay, when the time comes, we will receive them together." ”

Zhuang Bifan ate the meat and said, "After a while, I plan to visit a civilization called Nilo. Or you come with me. ”

"Nilo civilization, why did you suddenly think of going on a foreign visit?"

Zhuang Bifan told her what Deville said to him today and himself, saying: "If this civilization can reach a long-term alliance with us, it will also be beneficial to us in the future. I felt that to show kindness, I couldn't help but go there myself. ”

Sima Yun thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You are right. This is your first visit, and in itself it represents a special significance. It was another friendly visit, and they should be able to feel our goodwill. However, I think that if you want to interfere in the relationship between the Pontutru civilization and the Nilo civilization, I am afraid that it will also increase the worries of other advanced civilizations in the homeland. ”

Although she no longer serves as Zhuang Bifan's adjutant, she is still doing some work in this area and still understands some things.

Of course, Zhuang Bifan would not have thought of this. He nodded and said, "That's why I rejected the Nilo civilization's application for asylum." The Nilo civilization took the initiative to make such a request, but it was because the oppression of the Pontutru civilization made them unbearable and wanted to find a new backer. If we accept that request, they will equate us with the Pontutru civilization. And alliances, providing military protection, give them a chance to achieve autonomy. We will not control the resources they produce, and their resources can still be exported to other civilizations, except for the Pontutru civilization, and not only will our interference not be disgusted by other civilizations, but will be welcomed by other advanced civilizations. ”

"But most of the advanced civilizations in the country have subordinate civilizations, and they may also worry about us interfering because of such actions. ”

Zhuang Bifan said with a smile: "I don't have so many experiences, and I'm always nosy. After a long time, they will be relieved one day. ”

Sima Yun understood what he meant, but just smiled and didn't speak again.

Two days later, 50,000 light-seconds away from the New Earth in the Aurora Star Cluster, an assault fleet was silently levitating. They are absolutely stationary and do not revolve with the new sun.

This is already the most marginal star field of the new sun's stellar range, and it is already outside the forbidden area of the new earth at 48,000 light-seconds.

A wave of energy appeared on the right side less than twenty light-seconds away from the assault fleet. Soon a small fleet appeared in space. It was a fairly small fleet, numbering only twelve ships, and the largest ship was only about twelve kilometers long. The smaller ones were the same ships, all about five kilometers long.

The command ship of the assault fleet quickly spotted the fleet, but they did not get nervous about its appearance. For the energy reaction characteristics of the port just moved, they already knew that it was a fleet from the Kafatra Empire.

When this foreign fleet appeared, the assault fleet sent a communication signal and began to slowly try to get closer to each other.

The analysis of the assault fleet did not go wrong, and that fleet was none other than the Cafatra fleet escorting the mission. The largest warship was none other than Crown Prince Kafatla's ship, and the other warships were the Crown Guard.

Although the Crown Throne ship of Kafatra is heavily armed, it is not a pure warship, or rather, it is a royal luxury space cruise ship. Inside the battleship, there is an area of living and entertainment that Crown Prince Khafatra is currently in his study to see the latest information about the Aurora civilization.

In fact, he had already memorized that information, but this sudden appearance and immediately replaced the position of the strongest civilization in the galaxy cluster of the Kafatra Empire, although it was very unpleasant, but they also had to face up to this fact.

It doesn't matter if it's jealousy or envy. A large number of motherships on the other side, even if it is just one, is enough to give the entire Kfatra Empire a headache.

Such a giant mothership, even if it is parked in space and allowed by the Khafatra fleet to attack, does not know when it will be able to break through their defenses.

As the crown prince of Kafatla, he naturally knows how to judge the situation. His father, the Emperor of the Kafatra Empire, will soon be three hundred and fifty years old. According to the royal tradition of Khaphatra, the emperor will not reign more than 350 years old, and if he is still alive at this age, he will voluntarily abdicate. Pass the throne to a younger crown prince.

The crown prince of the Kafatra Empire is usually not the eldest prince, but is chosen from among the princes and princesses who are no more than one hundred and eighty years old at the time of the emperor's abdication. He was now in his more than one hundred and sixty years old, and he had a clear view of the situation facing the Kafatra Empire.

The Aurora civilization claimed to have no idea of dominating the galaxy cluster, and of course he didn't believe it. But he believed that the other side was indeed facing a very formidable enemy.

During the battle between the Aurora civilization and another foreign civilization, he had also seen the optical video he had collected, and from that video, the number of super motherships of the Aurora civilization was at least a thousand. He also saw the last time their opponent fought back. It was indeed a civilization that Cafatra could not have imagined. At least in military terms.

Therefore, he believes that the Aurora civilization really wants to win over the local civilization. At least until they defeat their enemies, they will not think about destroying the native civilization.

With that kind of understanding, of course he wouldn't think about confronting the Aurora civilization. The brutality of cosmic warfare is far greater than that of our own civilization's civil wars. There will be no scruples about war between civilizations. In a war, perhaps a single attack on a capital warship can destroy an administrative star with a population of hundreds of millions or even billions.

The cost of interstellar warfare is usually the destruction of the losing side, or even its annihilation. Faced with a civilization that was obviously much stronger than himself, he, the future Emperor of Khaphatra, of course, hoped to live in peace with this civilization.

In a few years, he would ascend the throne and become Emperor of Khaphatra. Originally, he had the ambition to dominate the entire galaxy cluster, but now, he had only one choice to do, and that was to rely on that Aurora civilization and use their technology to accelerate the development of the Kaffatra civilization.

In the past, the Khafatra civilization was the most powerful civilization in the cluster, and their development did not have any references, and every step required a long period of exploration. Now there is a reference civilization that makes him feel powerless, and all he can do is use this civilization to improve himself.

He may not see the Khafatra civilization dominate the cluster in his lifetime, but he can at least leave a glimmer of hope for future generations. Moreover, the Aurora civilization has even more powerful enemies.

He was looking at the intelligence when there was a knock on the door outside the office.

He said "Come in."

Outside the door came his secretary.

"Your Highness, we have successfully moved to the predetermined coordinates. The escort fleet of the Aurora civilization also arrived. ”

The crown prince raised his eyes and said, "The size of the escort fleet?"

"A total of five hundred and one large warships. One small mothership, five hundred large battleships. Their large warships were also slightly larger than the Khuraki. "The Khuraki is the Crown Prince's ship.

The crown prince nodded and said lightly, "Got it." ”

It seems that Aurora Civilization still attaches great importance to his line. This should be good news!

It's just that on Zhuang Bifan's side, he doesn't think like that.

Deville, as the foreign governor of the forces, will certainly not lack him in receiving the Cafatra mission: "Marshal, the escort formation sent back a message. They had already made contact with the Castlefatera Empire mission and had begun to escort it. The Cafatera Imperial Mission will arrive twelve hours later in New Earth Time. ”

Zhuang Bifan nodded and said, "Is there any mistake in the preparation?"

"Although it was our first time to receive foreign guests, we had already rehearsed three times. "That means everything is ready.

Zhuang Bifan said again: "There shouldn't be an accident on the side of the escort formation." ”

"The command ships of the assault fleet will replace their warships one by one to the specified coordinates. And even though it's only an assault fleet, it can support us even if it encounters an accident. ”

Zhuang Bifan nodded again and said, "Yes, now that the plundering fleet has been swept away, even if there are fish that slip through the net, an assault fleet should also suffer in terms of strength." ”

"That's it. It's only the smallest fleet we have so far, but it's enough to fight a battle with any civilization in our cluster. ”

Crown Prince Kaffatra felt that the constant assault on the convoy was a sign of goodwill to the Aurora civilization. In Zhuang Bifan's opinion, it was just a matter of sending a fully formed fleet to escort them. If you really pay attention, at least one mothership will be sent.

That would at least allow the fleet of the Kaffatra Mission to be replaced all at once when the space was replaced. Instead of wasting a lot of time by replacing them one by one.
