In order to wait for this day, everyone worked hard for ten years.

Starship builders are working hard, fleet soldiers are training hard, and staff officers are working hard to develop tactics and strategies for ten years in order to win this interstellar war against foreign aggression.

Now, at last, the day has come to set out on the expedition.

As far as the eye can see, in the interstellar space, nearly 100,000 interstellar warships are lined up in a neat formation.

Below the front, there are small warships like flies, like atoms in the microcosm, horizontal and vertical, two by two, arranged in a dense spatial matrix, from near to far, from small to large, the number of nearly 60,000 ships.

In the middle and upper part, there are 10,000 manned C-class battleships, each of which is 100 kilometers long, with a total of 100 horizontal columns, and one column is a hundred C-class battleships, which turn on all the lights and shine this star field as if it were day.

In the rear, there are 30,000 unmanned C-class warships, which are arranged in the same way as manned C-class warships, but with thicker lines and more numerous...... It also turned on all the lights under the control of artificial intelligence, illuminating this star field.

Huge, spectacular!

Even if I have seen more exaggerated scenes in the movie, but in reality, the first time I saw such a huge starfleet, these two words will come to everyone's mind.

"It's finally time to go on the expedition." On a starship, after a crew member saw the large fleet outside the window, the countless number of warships gave him an incomparable sense of security, and he was not so afraid of the upcoming war.

Even, there is a little excitement.

In front of the fleet, on a flagship that was slightly larger than a C-class battleship and had a length of 300 kilometers, a group of high-ranking officials wearing generals' uniforms and national uniforms appeared on a raised platform made of transparent material on the bridge.

Of course, the most conspicuous is still the Ming Emperor standing in the center.

All of them contain admiring, expectant, and staring eyes. It's all focused on him.

Waiting for his command!

Tianming's words surprised everyone:

"In this war, I will be on the front line and fight side by side with you."

The generals and civilian officials behind him were immediately blindfolded, and the landing was extremely chaotic.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are in danger, you have to think twice!" The Imperial Prime Minister walked up and bowed to Tianming.

Marshal Lin Mo also hurriedly stepped forward, bent his waist down and said, "Your Majesty, you are the foundation of the empire. It is enough to sit in the rear of the empire and command, and you must not go to this dangerous beach, regardless of your own safety. ”

Another marshal Hao Zhigang also said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if we have a point difference pool, if you have a point difference pool, the entire empire will be unstable!" ”

"Please think twice!"

Ignoring the attention of tens of millions of officers and soldiers and the astonishment of hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the live television broadcast, all the officials bent down in unison and pleaded.

The concerns of these officials are not unfounded.

Whether the aliens are strong or weak is not determined at all before the official firefight, if it is weak, it is fine, if it is stronger than imagined. That's pretty bad.

Of the 30 million Imperial soldiers, it doesn't matter if most of them die in battle, just recruit another batch.

If the emperor of the empire is also planted here, his life is in danger. That's a big deal...... There is chaos within the empire, and the morale of the imperial army collapses, this is a very likely thing, and it is not good. It is even possible that the empire, which was only established for more than 30 years, has since become dusty history.

If His Majesty the Emperor is not on the front line of the war, but in the center of the empire. Soldiers are working hard in the front, even if they are in danger, they don't have to worry about their families on the planet...... After all, the battlefield is tens of billions of kilometers away from the center of the empire.

The role of the Emperor Majesty is extremely important, and although coming here can play a role in boosting morale, it is the place where the Emperor Majesty can play a greater role than staying in the center of the empire and maintaining peace and stability in the rear, rather than going to the front line himself.

Thinking of this, not only those officials, but also all the imperial soldiers on the manned warship also became in an uproar and shouted: "Please don't go into danger in person!" Please think twice! ”

I saw the figures on the battleships that were constantly shaking. Although I couldn't hear the sound, I could still see the excited expression clearly from a distance of dozens of kilometers.

With a wave of his hand, Tianming asked everyone to get up first, and then spoke:

"I know what my mission is, and I promised to stay in the rear of the empire and wait for the news of your triumphant return......"

"However, there are 30 million Imperial soldiers here! 30 million precious lives, and I have to worry about the safety of these 30 million people. ”

"The bottom of that group of aliens has been basically obtained by the intelligence department of the empire, they are just a group of opponents who are not very weak but not necessarily very strong, and we are more than ninety percent sure of destroying them!"

"This is also my confidence in you, you will be able to wipe out those aliens completely!"

"But I still hope that there will be fewer casualties on the part of the Empire, and it is better that if the aliens die out, we will have 0 casualties, and leave a desperate casualty ratio for the aliens."

"I don't care how many aliens die. But among the Imperial soldiers present, who was not a family member with parents, wives, or children? The loss of one represents the breakdown of a family, and the loss of one represents the loss of hope and the regret of the empire ......"

"What's more, I myself have six sons and nephews in this fleet, and I can't watch them go to the front, but I stay in the rear and watch them enter the battlefield to defend the Empire......"

"The same is true for the 30 million Imperial soldiers, and I don't want you to be in danger of suffering the huge casualties that may occur."

"So, I decided to go to the front line with you and do what I can to reduce the casualties of the Imperial soldiers."

"Your Majesty, what about your own safety? What if something goes wrong with you, what will happen to the Empire? An upright minister said, "Please don't be willful." ”

"My safety, do you think I'm in danger?"

Tianming looked at the minister and said undoubtedly: "Even if I face that alien fleet alone, I am sure that I will escape unharmed, you can worry about anyone, it is purely unnecessary to worry about me." ”

"No need to persuade anymore. This matter was decided, and I had to see with my own eyes that the alien fleet be wiped out before my eyes. ”

"陛xià......"

The ministers persuaded for a while with bitter faces, but they heard a loud voice say: "Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, go on the expedition!" ”

……

The turning point of the Emperor's Majesty in the departure ceremony surprised many people, and they were dumbfounded, and then their hearts poured out infinite strength and warmth.

In order to ensure their safety, he decided to go to the front line and fight side by side with them.

"His Majesty the Ming Emperor is thousands of years old. A truly benevolent man! Those emperors in ancient times, there were indifferent and ruthless, there were those who were extravagant, and there were also those who made great sins, no matter which one of them, was able to be like His Majesty, who had always loved others for the first 30 years of his ascension to the throne, and was affectionate and righteous, and it was really an honor for me to die for such a Majesty. "A civil minister was a little emotional.

"Majesty xià is about the same size as my father, from the body of majesty. I felt the same love that my father gave me. An air force soldier said.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xiaolong, when the war starts, you follow my starship, and I will protect your safety." A starship captain said to Xiaolong.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. We'll protect it, and when the bullets come, we have to say yes to me first! In the video, another young man also smiled.

Xiaolong looked displeased: "Go, go." Whoever wants you to protect, the woman needs to protect, and don't block the fire of the Little Dragon when the time comes. I've set a target of destroying at least ten alien warships. ”

"Who wants you to protect it? When the time comes, the old lady will be the first to go! Don't stop any of you. On the other side, Cheng Cheng also saw the news sent by many captains "to protect her" and "be her flower messenger", his face became more and more ugly, and he immediately became furious and burst into a foul language.

……

The emperor's decision moved all the warriors and caused some trouble to several princes and princesses, and the most headaches were Lin Shuai, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, and Hao Zhigang, the deputy commander-in-chief.

The reason is very simple, the supreme head of the imperial army is here, and the supreme commander of the expeditionary fleet is naturally His Majesty the Emperor.

But Tianming is not good at leading troops to fight, there is no problem in commanding a small number of troops, if the entire nearly 100,000 starships are all under his command, something goes wrong, and the gravity of the guide fails, then it is his responsibility.

Tianming also knew this, and assured Lin Mo and the others: "After the war starts, I will not get involved in the tactical aspects, I will fight as I want, according to the plan you have formulated, I will be a bystander, and I will not interfere with your choice." ”

"Of course, if the aliens are too powerful and you can't bear it, then don't worry about any tactics, I'll help you fight ...... Anyway, minimize the casualties of the Empire. ”

Lin Mo and the others smiled bitterly, and finally had to nod and continue to study and formulate a war plan.

……

The Wuga fleet is still about 0.35 light-years away, or about 20,000 astronomical units, from the Empire.

The expedition site is located in the central region of the Kuiper Belt of the star system, about 40 astronomical units from the star.

From this point of view, the distance between the two fleets is still very far.

Based on the principle of "war should take place outside the doorstep as much as possible", after the expeditionary fleet was formed, the Tianming Empire was a little impatient to destroy those aliens.

But with 20,000 astronomical units apart, how long can you run slowly?

In order to meet the aliens as soon as possible, Tianming took a group of Blue Star Elders, piloted a C-class battleship, and after starting the second-generation curvature engine, he quickly entered the state of flying towards the speed of light, and it took less than a day to travel 1,000 astronomical units and 150 billion kilometers in a straight line - this distance is almost the limit of Tianming's ability to build a large space gate.

The operation was repeated ten times, and after about three months, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet appeared about 10,000 astronomical units in front of the Wuga Starman fleet.
