Chapter 214: All kinds of intrigues
The Free Army of Castile was founded in a frontier mining area of the former Sulla Empire.
It's not a good place for life, and although there are one or two planets with a good ecology that don't need any modification to allow life to be born and survive, the overall environment is quite bad.
Because there are so many asteroid belts in the star region, it is speculated that this should have been a small cluster of galaxies, but then for various reasons - most likely some ancient super civilization went to war here - the entire cluster of galaxies was shattered, and finally the broken galaxy cluster evolved naturally over countless years to form the large asteroid belt rich in minerals today.
Because of this, the planets here are hit headlong by asteroids from outer space. This also led to the fact that when the Sulla Empire expanded to this area, it was found that although the habitable planets here had life, they did not give birth to advanced indigenous intelligent beings.
- If the earth is hit by an asteroid that will wipe out the dinosaurs every once in a while, will you try to see if humans can appear?
Of course, this environment was not a problem at all for the Sulla Empire, which was already able to sail freely between the stars, and they quickly established a colony here, gradually developing it into an imperial territory.
However, due to its proximity to the United States of Zebrora and the abundance of minerals, the empire eventually positioned this star region as a "border mining area".
But no matter how rich the mining area is, it can't withstand years of mining.
After the minerals were depleted, the place gradually became a place for the empire to distribute criminals.
Over time, there are more and more criminals in the sector, and these criminals and their descendants are increasingly dissatisfied with the Sulla Empire.
It's as if all rebellions need a trigger. Under the conquest of a certain emperor, this star sector, which was already an unstable region of the empire, was finally ignited to the powder keg that had accumulated to the limit.
Then, there's Boom – shakalaka!
As soon as the great Lyndon Wan ascended to the top, the heroes of the Quartet gathered, and even a regular army originally stationed here also raised the red and black banner symbolizing freedom, and the vigorous independence and freedom movement centered on this remote mining area quickly began to spread throughout the territory of the Sulla Empire, and people shouted "Long live General Lyndon Wan!" Long live freedom! The guys in the capital star are a bunch of stupid imperial dictatorship idiots!' , dealing a heavy blow to the evil clique that brutally rules the general public......
- The above is purely a verbal word, and the source of the text is a school history textbook under the rule of the Free Army of Castile......
In this regard, the unanimous comment of Mu Yunshang and others is "The fool who boils seed oil - 10086".
At the beginning, the offensive of the Free Army was very fierce, but after all, the Sulla Empire is an empire that has been precipitated for thousands of years, and the profound heritage can be imagined.
After an initial panic, the regular army of the Empire was organized and began a long counterinsurgency war. It was a period of extremely dark history for the Sulla Empire, and the flames of war spread to almost every inch of the empire.
Eventually, the regular army succeeded in eliminating most of the rebels in the core sector and stabilizing their regime.
However, after a long war and the brutality of the stupid emperor, the Sulla Empire had become relatively weak at first, and after a failed attempt to attack the frontier areas controlled by the Free Army, the Empire and the Free Army entered a long standoff.
Because the core part of the area where the Free Army is located is a penal colony of former criminals who have no value, the Empire even had the idea of abandoning it altogether.
Of course, there are many other reasons that really make this kind of thinking in this empire, some even from the outside - such as the United States of Zebrola.
Although for various reasons, the civilizations around the Sulla Empire did not invade while the empire was weak, it was in their own interests for them to be able to weaken the huge Sulla Empire, especially the United States of Zebrola, which was immediately adjacent to the Sulla Empire.
There was already a serious ideological conflict between the federal parliamentary United States of Zebrola and the dictatorial Sulla Empire, with each side being called a "dictatorial fool" and the other being a "free and mentally retarded", and there were many wars between the two sides.
Thus, the one-vote countries, led by the United States of Zebrola, succeeded in achieving substantial independence of the Free Castile Army by various means.
Of course, the Sulla Empire did not recognize the independence of this star sector in words. This can be regarded as a reasonable reason for them to be able to recover this star sector in the future.
As for you, why don't the United States of Zebrola have much ill will towards the empire of Mu Yunsheng, which is also autocratic......
- Do they dare?
Therefore, in essence, this conflict stems from the similarity of strength between the two sides.
Because the gap between them is not big, they will look at each other in various ways, and when one of them has overwhelming power, the other party has no other choice but to stand ♂ up obediently. ♂ ♂
This time for the actions of the Free Army, Mu Yunshang directly gave news to the Sulla Empire and the United States of Zebrola at the same time, and they also learned of each other's plans.
Of course, the commander-in-chief of the Sula Empire was quite dissatisfied with this, but this dissatisfaction was only aimed at Essatri Brofila, because of Mu Yunsheng's existence, the commander-in-chief of Dou M did not explicitly refuse.
Presumably before the operation, the Free Army's sneak attack on the United States of Zebrola had already been known to their Empress?
If this news had been known in advance, it would have been enough to speculate to understand that the United States could not have been indifferent to this, and that war against the Free Army would have been a logical matter.
Of course, the space technology of this civilization circle cannot be compared with the Empire, with the existence of the Star Gate, the Empire can directly carry out ultra-long-distance large-scale legion projection regardless of any conditions, and the short-distance super-space-time jump does not require any so-called massive objects as "inducing coordinates" at all.
But this civilization circle is different, their spaceship must have a massive celestial body as the "inducing coordinates" to succeed in the chrono jump, otherwise the ghost knows what strange places it will fly to after the jump.
Because of this technological limitation, the spacecraft of this civilization circle can only make a fixed route of the chrono jump, which leads to a very interesting situation - the so-called "strategic points", "throat fortresses" and other existences that originally appeared in the wars of the underdeveloped era of technology within the planet have been resurrected in interstellar wars.
And the star sector controlled by the Free Army of Castille is just such a strategic point.
In close proximity to the United States and the Sulla Empire, there is a star system that acts as a chokepoint, whether from the United States to the Sulla Empire or from the Sulla Empire to the United States, both star systems are necessary for fleets to pass through when they make a time-jump.
These two places were previously occupied by the Free Army, which caused the Sulla Empire to be at a disadvantage every time they attacked the Free Army Star Zone. Now that Mu Yunshang has decided to attack the Free Army, the Sula Empire obviously intends to take these two places.
- At least take down a choke point close to you.
Obviously, the United States had similar intentions, and their target was naturally the throat close to the United States' side.
Because of this, Mu Yunshang noticed that the number of troops sent by both of them to follow the empire this time was not large, and it was no problem to control one or two star systems, but if it was for the entire Free Army Star Zone, this military power was completely insufficient.
It seems that both the Sulla Empire and the United States of Zebrola have tacitly hoped to have a buffer zone between them, and this star sector controlled by the Free Castile Army can be predicted to be completely reduced to a chaotic three-way zone after being attacked by Mu Yunsheng.
