648, defection
Chen Chen took action to eliminate the dozens of ironclad beasts on the left, and even took the strongest leader beast with him, helping the Star Alliance fleet share most of the pressure, so that the remaining dozens of them would not be able to make too many waves.
Under the cannon fire of thousands of warships and the swarm attack of fighter mechs, the remaining beast herd was quickly wiped out, and at this point, the beast herd of the Reims system was declared annihilated, and in front of the Star Alliance fleet, there were only insignificant remnants of the defenders.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the command room couldn't help but settle down, and immediately, Edgar was ready to issue a new order, informing the fleet to transfer targets and begin to attack the Reims system.
But at this moment, the signal corps suddenly sent a report: "The defenders of the Babylonian Empire have sent a surrender signal and issued a light signal announcing surrender!" ”
"What?"
Hearing the report, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, looked at each other, and at the same time showed puzzled looks.
Surrendered so quickly?
"It's normal!" At this time, Chen Chen's voice came from the door: "There are not many Babylonian troops stationed here, and they can't resist your attack in the first place, but now they have suffered heavy losses from the attack of the beasts, and they are no longer able to fight, rather than die in vain, it is better to surrender as soon as possible, which is also a more reasonable choice." ”
After solving the beast herd, Chen Chen knew that the situation was under control, and he no longer needed to make any more moves, so he had already removed his dress and returned to the command room at this moment.
"That's a good thing!" Edgar also reacted, and nodded subconsciously: "It's also good for us to take down the Reims system so easily, so you don't have to pay losses, so stop attacking and accept their surrender." ”
At the moment, he changed the command in the command channel: "Inform the whole army, stop the attack for the time being, accept the surrender of the enemy army, and then occupy the Reims system." ”
After receiving the order, the Star Alliance fleet immediately sailed towards the planets, accepting the surrender of the defenders and controlling these places.
At this point, the capture of the Reims system was completed.
Seeing this scene with their own eyes, the slaves on the planets also rushed out happily to welcome the landing of the Star Alliance warship, and took the initiative to provide assistance and guide the ground troops to occupy various facilities.
The rest is the question of how to control the galaxy.
"Looks like everything is going well." Chen Chen slowly walked up to Edgar and said casually, "After solving the problem of the Lance system, we have to think about the next move." ”
"At this point, I don't have a very mature idea." Edgar settled down, opened the display window, and retrieved all the star maps of several galaxies near the Lance system: "In this galaxy near the Lance Galaxy, the original defenders were not very many, and they were attacked by the ironclad beasts at the same time before, presumably at this time, they also suffered heavy losses, and their defense was very weak." ”
"You want to conquer these galaxies?" Chen Chen smiled and nodded.
"Now that the situation is very favorable, I naturally can't help it." Edgar spread his hand easily and blinked: "Such a large star field nearby, almost at your fingertips, it's really itchy." ”
"If we can really capture this large area of stars nearby, the area controlled by the Star Alliance will expand several times!" Ruona also agreed: "In this way, you will get a large number of inhabited planets, resource planets, and with you, you can also liberate a large number of slaves and obtain a large number of human resources." ”
"In this way, we will soon recover and have the strength of the Babylonian Empire." Edgar's eyebrows fluttered, as if he had seen those star fields included in the jurisdiction of the Star Alliance: "What do you think?" ”
"I don't have a problem with that, it's a reasonable action, there's nothing wrong with that." Chen Chen nodded lightly, his eyes flickering slightly: "Actually, it's not a problem to take these galaxies, I estimate that I will be able to get it soon, what I care about is another thing......"
"One more thing?" Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, a communications officer suddenly walked into the command room, first saluted everyone, and then made a report: "Just now, a slave head came to us, saying that they received a signal from the slave head of several nearby galaxies, claiming that the emperor of each galaxy took the initiative to negotiate peace with them and planned to surrender to us, so he asked them to contact us!" ”
"What?" Hearing the news, everyone was shocked again.
"This is also normal......" Chen Chen on the side said coldly: "They can't see hope anymore, instead of sacrificing without a purpose, it's better to surrender and defect, after all, within the Babylon Empire, there are many people who are dissatisfied." ”
When these words came out, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Emperor Babylon took the initiative to surrender without a fight, which was simply unthinkable in the past.
You must know that these professional soldiers who have received harsh training and education are very determined, and under the strict system within the Babylon Empire, there is no other choice but to fight to the death.
Even if you really can't fight and can only surrender, at least after the death battle, you will do it when you are sure that there is no chance of victory, and now you will take the initiative to surrender before the fight has started, which is really a little unbelievable.
But if you think about Chen Chen's words carefully, you will understand that this is indeed normal.
At this time and then, the situation is no longer the same as it was then.
The entire Babylonian Empire was already in a state of turmoil, and these lower-ranking officers and soldiers saw no hope at all, in fact, they also had a lot of grievances against the rulers of the Babylonian Empire, and this dissatisfaction was even stronger in such stormy times.
They no longer know the meaning of continuing to fight, and they have suffered heavy losses from the attack of the Ironclad Beasts, and they are simply powerless to resist the attack of the Starlink Fleet, plus they see the Starlink Fleet repelling the Ironclad Beasts, they know that the general trend has gone, the victory of the Starlink is unstoppable, and the fall of the Babylon Empire is already the trend of the times, and it is just a mantis arm to use as a car.
At this time, they were naturally unwilling to make senseless sacrifices, so they took the initiative to negotiate with the slaves under their jurisdiction, expressing their willingness to surrender and accept the rule of the Star Alliance.
For those slaves, this is naturally a good thing, they have dreamed that the Star Alliance will come to rescue them as soon as possible, and now that the Star Alliance fleet has not yet come, the defenders will lose their will to fight and surrender on their own initiative, and they can be rescued in advance, which is something that no one will refuse.
Therefore, the slave leaders everywhere hurriedly contacted the slaves in the Reims system, asked them to relay the news to the Star Federation, and quickly sent people to take over these star fields.
Thinking through these factors, everyone in the Star Alliance was appreciative, and their eyes all turned to Chen Chen.
This kid let him calculate again.
Perhaps, the moment he learned of the riot of the ironclad beasts, he expected the current situation, right?
Facing everyone's eyes, Chen Chen looked very calm, and asked relaxedly: "It seems that things are going as smoothly as imagined, so what are you going to do?" ”
"I think we should still accept their surrender, and we should deal with those who surrender more leniently." Edgar pondered for a moment, then replied, "After all, the tyranny of the Nether Kings in the past was the root of all this, and I believe that many people in the Babylonian Empire do not want that to do so, and many people are actually involuntarily unable to do so. ”
"For these people, treat them differently!" Ruona also nodded in agreement: "Accept the surrender of these people and deal with them lightly, this time to set an example for those who come after you, and attract more people to surrender!" ”
"It's a domino effect!" Chen Chen laughed: "The Babylon Empire is not so strong, much more fragile than imagined, we don't need to spend so much effort to knock down all the cards, in fact, as long as the first piece is pushed, there will be a chain reaction behind!" ”
"Yes, the building is about to fall, and if you find the right focus, you actually need a feather to collapse the entire building!" Edgar also sighed: "Brutal rule is nothing more than forcibly supporting a twisted edifice, which looks bright on the surface, and once the support is broken, it will all fall down at once." ”
"That's how the Babylonian Empire is now." Chen Chen spread his hands easily: "I believe that after this incident, this kind of thing will definitely not be an isolated one, it is very likely that the next thing will be that the garrisons of the Babylon Empire will surrender to you in pieces, and at that time, I am afraid that what you are worried about is not whether the military is strong enough, but that there are not enough of them and they are not capable of taking over so many star fields." ”
"Maybe at that time, it won't be some of the garrisons that have surrendered." Edgar also shrugged his shoulders easily: "It's that the royal family of the Babylonian Empire asks for peace talks with us, and the whole country surrenders to us." ”
"That's your *** heart!" Chen Chen smiled lightly and turned around to say no more.
Seeing this scene, Edgar was also a little puzzled, now that the situation has become clearer and clearer, what else is there to worry about?
Combined with Chen Chen's sentence "What I care about is another thing", he was particularly puzzled.
However, this is not the time to think about these issues, it is important to push this first domino first, and at this moment, Edgar will put everything aside and issue instructions with peace of mind.
The content is also very simple, that is, to reply to the slave leaders in the nearby star fields, expressing their willingness to accept the surrender of the defenders everywhere, and immediately send fleets to each place to take over.
At the same time, there is also the obligation to repel the ironclad beasts everywhere.
Originally, to take over such a large area of the star field and repel a large number of beasts, it was really a bit reluctant to use the military strength of the Star Alliance, but fortunately, with Chen Chen's assistance, the originally difficult things became extremely simple.
These ironclad beasts really couldn't arouse Chen Chen's interest, but they just released a few thousand deep cold, and easily repelled the beasts everywhere, and after that, the Star Alliance fleet took over these places separately, and temporarily imprisoned all the surrendered Babylon Empire soldiers and officers, waiting for a later trial.
Of course, for those who can't help themselves, there is actually nothing to deal with. (To be continued.) )
