Chapter 1585: A Helpless Choice
After the order was issued, Qin Yan quickly opened the star map covering the entire high-level civilization, his eyes swept over the high-level leaders of the coalition forces present, and said in a deep voice: "I know, these days you have all thought about how we should deal with it if the situation develops to the worst - now I will put forward my ideas first, and if my ideas are not agreed upon, you will put forward your own ideas." ”
Seeing that everyone nodded, he glanced at several cabinets from the original Hidden Yuan Empire, and said: "The conflict between the 'Shadow' and the Hidden Yuan Empire back then is the best example, the reason why the 'Shadow' can force the Hidden Yuan Empire to be powerless and finally have to collapse with less than one-tenth of the combat power of the Hidden Yuan Empire, there is only one reason, that is, the Hidden Yuan Empire has a huge territory to guard, and the financial and vassal countries have become their constraints. Shadow' does not exist, and our situation today is the situation of the Hidden Yuan Empire. ”
Several cabinets of the Yuan Yin Yuan Empire couldn't help but show a wry smile, but what neither side expected was that the appearance of the alien race made the former mortal enemy have to temporarily stop fighting and become allies.
"Back then, it was indeed a last resort for the high-level leaders of the Hidden Yuan Empire to lead the elite to leave, but I believe you all know very well that it was also the only choice." Qin Yan continued.
"Commander-in-Chief, you mean...... Let's abandon the whole High Civilization? Emperor Tianshu exclaimed in surprise.
"In my hometown, there is a saying called a strong man's broken arm."
His expression was full of helplessness, and Qin Yan smiled bitterly: "All of you here used to be the leaders of the top empires or organizations in advanced civilizations, and they all possessed wisdom far beyond ordinary people, I think...... Even if I don't say it, you should know that this is the only way. ”
Oh, yes!
Even if you are struggling now and don't give up, you still have to give up in the end, and the Hidden Yuan Empire is a living example.
Rather than in this kind of recklessness, which constantly leads to the loss of vital combat power, and finally has to give up, it is better to choose to give up earlier.
In fact, all of you here understand this truth, and the key is......
When something is too important, even if you know that it is impossible to keep it, few people have the courage to give it up.
It's not just the vast territory that has been given up, but also the vast resources in the endless starry sky, and the countless ordinary people.
What can be done?
There are too many ordinary people, even if the coalition forces are willing to consume energy crystals, it is impossible to transfer so many people, and there is no way to do it.
That's right, they don't have enough power to protect all the people.
The high-level expressions were gloomy, and they did not raise a rebuttal, because everyone knew that what Qin Yan said was the truth.
"If we ...... Had to choose to give up, what was the plan behind the commander-in-chief? ”
The one who spoke was the other of the three major hunter organizations who belonged to the same group as Jinghong, the leader of the hunter organization named Iron Thorn, and his name was Yin Feng.
Qin Yan took a deep breath and pointed to the axis of the universe marked on the star map while saying, "On this basis, there are two plans. After all, the resources possessed by the known wormhole coordinates are limited, so once the alien race comes, they will definitely think of occupying our cosmic axis - then, we will put all our forces on the cosmic axis, and have an ultimate duel with the alien race here. ”
"What if...... What if the alien race is stronger than us? "Some people questioned it.
"So there was a second plan."
The power of the stars erupted from his fingertips, pointing at the star map like a cursor: "From the direction of the Lyra Empire, I have a route to the unexplored universe, 140 billion light-years long. Although there are also alien races on the other side, it is almost impossible for aliens to figure out this route without mastering the star map and can only use equipment and technology to calculate the coordinates of the wormhole.
It took more than 300 years for the alien races on the other side of the earth to calculate the wormhole coordinates of hundreds of star systems, what does it mean for 140 billion light-years?
The Milky Way galaxy with a diameter of 100,000 light-years contains hundreds of billions of star systems, and even at a straight-line distance, there are hundreds of millions of star systems running through a galaxy, and the number of galaxies is hundreds of millions on the way of 140 billion light-years, so if they retreat to this route, it is almost impossible for aliens to find them.
"It's safe, but we're just leaving all our borders and countless people to flee? This...... I can't! ”
Emperor Yaoguang's face was pale, Qin Yan's thought made him very angry, whether it was in the emotion of his own country and race, or the honor of being the king of a country, it was impossible for him to do such a thing.
"What kind of person does the Commander think I'm in?"
Qin Yan looked at Emperor Yaoguang, the other party is now divided by the entire coalition army, the commander of the seventh theater of the fifteen theaters.
"This ......" Emperor Yaoguang was stunned.
With his understanding of Qin Yan, this guy is definitely a coward who will take revenge, not a coward who runs away when he encounters a strong enemy, just as he led the 'shadow' organization that was far inferior to the Hidden Yuan Empire back then, not only fighting with the Hidden Yuan Empire in full swing, but even carrying out multiple organizations at the same time.
Emperor Yaoguang took a deep breath and said, "Maybe I misunderstood the commander-in-chief, I also think that you are not the kind of person who is timid and afraid, please speak." ”
"If we want to fight against the alien race, the first thing we have to do is to preserve the living combat power, if we don't have any soldiers, how can we fight against the alien race?"
Qin Yan's gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice: "Therefore, if the coalition forces withdraw to a safe place, it will be equivalent to preserving our combat strength, but it is definitely not a stealing life. After the alien race comes, it will definitely plunder resources frantically, and in the case of us abandoning the vast territory and the main force retreating to the unknown area of the alien race, the enemy will become the enemy of the enemy - we can send a team to intercept and kill the alien race in this vast territory. ”
"I understand what the commander-in-chief means, in turn, is constantly encroaching on the alien forces...... Both plans seem to be feasible. ”
"But there are pros and cons to both plans."
Hearing Emperor Yaoguang's affirmation, Qin Yan explained: "The first plan is to have a decisive battle with the alien race at the axis of the universe, the advantage is that in the shortest possible time, the alien race can separate life and death, and cause extremely large-scale trauma to the alien race, which will not lead to the slaughter of a large number of people in the territory and the exhaustion of a large number of resources on the planet." But...... If the alien race is stronger than us, this battle may well be doomed to us. As for the second plan, it is much more conservative and will not be wiped out in any case, but it will go on for a long time, and for such a long time that the aliens will likely slaughter the ordinary people of the territory, and all the valuable resources of the territory will be looted - and even if we win this victory, we will be left with devastation. ”
The two plans have their own advantages and disadvantages, and after listening to Qin Yan's analysis, everyone knows very well that in the current situation, these are the only two best choices.
But...... How to choose?
"There's a third option, which is to combine the first two plans."
Seeing everyone's hesitation on their faces, Qin Yan pointed to the axis of the universe on the star map and continued: "Divide the troops into two ways, the first way is to face off with the alien race in the axis of the universe, and the other way is to ambush in a very close place. If the alien combat power is not too strong and we have the possibility of winning, then the other group of people can rush to the aid in a very short time, join the next battle, and play a surprise effect, and vice ......versa."
Qin Yan didn't continue, everyone knows what this 'opposite' means.
If the alien combat power is too strong, the ambush troops from the other side will immediately flee to the safe place mentioned in the second plan, and implement the second set of plans.
However, in the confrontation with the aliens, even if they are not completely wiped out, I am afraid that not many people will survive.
"I'm most inclined to the third option, what do you think?" Qin Yan looked at everyone.
"I'm for it."
"Seconded."
"Yes."
The high-level officials either silently gave up their choice, or they agreed with Qin Yan's proposal, but no one raised objections.
But here's the problem!
One of the two groups of centaurs faces off against the alien race, and the other side acts as an ambush, making different choices according to the actual situation, which means that the first group of centaurs will face danger.
Who is the first and second way?
You must know that the second road can advance or retreat according to the strength of the alien race, and there is a large degree of security guarantee, while if the first road centaur finds that the strength of the alien race is too strong in the duel, he will only face a dead end, and there is no chance to retreat.
"I'm joining the front line army of head-to-head showdowns." Qin Yan said immediately.
"No way!"
To everyone's surprise, the first person to oppose was not the Heavenly Power Empire, Jinghong, and 'Shadow', who were in the same camp as Qin Yan, but Emperor Yaoguang.
As soon as Qin Yan said that, he immediately objected: "Once the alien race is strong, we will lose control of the territory, and the alien race will carry out crazy scraping on all the valuable planets in our territory, causing their resources to skyrocket to a greater extent, and we will be further disadvantaged in terms of resources, further widening the gap in strength between the two sides." You are the only one among the billions of advanced civilizations who can freely enter and exit the core area of the 9th degree of the cosmic axis, which has a lot of resources, and it is also our last bit of hope - if you die, we will not even have the last chance to turn the tables! ”
Once the alien race is stronger than their side, it means that the alien race is in an advantageous position in terms of resources, and if the resources of the entire higher civilization are further recovered, the resources of the alien race will be further greatly increased on the original basis, and the gap between the two sides will be opened to an alarming extent.
It is conceivable that Qin Yan, who can bring a large amount of resources from the 9-degree danger zone of the axis of the universe, has become the only life-saving straw.
