On January 3, 2517, the fourth constellation of the Star Field

Nero, the princess, stood in front of the porthole, looking out the window at the sea of stars.

Lockheed Martin is very good at picking places, and the scenery here is exceptional. The unique pair of nebulae is constantly changing, radiating incomparably brilliant brilliance and love. It wasn't the splendor that Nero cared about. Those nebulae are rich in metallic ores, rare elements. In Nero's eyes, these are the powerful empire against warships.

There are such nebulae everywhere, providing the industrial raw materials necessary for the development of heavy industry. Heavy industry is a strategic location, the heavy industry base of the empire. Especially in the shipbuilding industry, more than half of the fourth star field is for civilian ships, and a quarter of the military ships are from the constellation of heavy industry. This is a geographical advantage.

It has been less than a hundred years since the Fourth Star Domain completely fell into the hands of the Empire, but the Heavy Industry Constellation has been managed by the Empire for thousands of years. There are many family forces rooted here and loyal to the empire. The Fourth Fleet, the Beiyang Fleet, is stationed here, and they are the most elite fleets of the Empire, loyal to the Empire and the Emperor. The Empire had a solid political, military, and economic foundation here. This is the people.

The location, the people and the people were one of the important reasons why Nero chose this place to start. In addition to this, there is an important reason.

As for the damned plan, Nero didn't really need them to build it, and of course it could be better.

Not to mention the high technical difficulty, it is only the time it can take to build. I'm afraid, it won't be able to catch up with that dish. Therefore, what Nero needs is this super battleship construction plan, codenamed "Damnation", to be presented in front of the one in the imperial capital.

She needs the "Empress Wu" in the imperial capital to mess with herself. All she needed was the possibility that the supership would be able to be built.

The empire cannot be divided, that is something that the whole empire cannot tolerate. Those who split the empire will stand on the opposite side of the entire empire and will completely lose the hearts and minds of the people. This is the internal reason why the empire will not have a civil war.

The Empire and the Confederation are in opposition to each other. If the Empire were to fall into civil war, the Federation's fleet would be able to push the Empire to the brink of destruction in an instant. This is the external reason why the empire will not have a civil war.

This is very clear to her and the Imperial Capital. It's not that she's smart, the reality doesn't give her more options.

Nero didn't want to personally lead three thousand dragon knights to enter the imperial capital with a million heroes, take the head of the martial queen, and hang in front of the Northern Lights Gate. However, she couldn't, she didn't have a choice.

The Empress Wu of the Imperial Capital is also in the same situation, so she will tolerate Nero entrenched in the constellation of Chongye and radiate her influence to the entire Fourth Star Domain. Nero became more and more high-profile, and the more the Empress Wu could not act rashly. Nero's situation became more secure.

But the current balance is only temporary, and the presence of two leaders in one country almost divides the empire in two. Such an empire could not compete with a full federation.

Balancing the timing of the collapse depends on when the Federation grasps the situation, and the speed of the collapse depends on how the Federation intervenes.

During this time, Nero has been thinking about it, and the only feasible strategy that he can come up with is to break the balance by himself in order to take the initiative. Finish the Empire's political turmoil before the Federation intervenes.

"Sea Knight, Nee Preston asks to see you." The system prompt sounds.

"Xuan."

The photon projection turned on, revealing a kneeling image of light behind Nero. It was a middle-aged man, and the knight's armor on his body could feel heavy through the photon projection. Although he himself is in the heavy industry, the queen's bedroom is not to be offended, and can only be met in this form - a one-way "Xuan".

"The latest news from the imperial capital: Li Zhongtang of the Military Aircraft Province once again asked the emperor to return to His Royal Highness to test the bloodline of His Royal Highness's royal daughter, and the ministers of Fengge Luantai seconded the proposal."

The political system of the empire was very special, and there were three provinces and six ministries under the emperor. The three provinces of the empire are Shangshu Province, Knight Province, and Military Aircraft Province. Shangshu Province has six departments: the Ministry of Household in charge of imperial finance, the Ministry of Industry in charge of engineering industry, the Ministry of Officials in charge of local officials, the Ministry of Rites in charge of culture and education, the Ministry of War in charge of military industry, and the Criminal Department in charge of judicial and criminal law; The Ministry of Military Aircraft has jurisdiction over the conquest of the navy, the stable army, and the pioneering air force; The knightly provinces did not have official positions, and a large number of knights were directly accountable to the emperor.

Among them, only the senior members of the Ministry of Military Aircraft are called Zhongtang when they serve in the cabinet.

The official positions of Shangshu Province are divided into two factions - Fengtai Luan Pavilion. That is, the same official position, two officials, one Fengtai, one Luange, and the principal and deputy on rotation. so that they may restrain each other and supervise each other.

"Fengge Luantai's opinions are rarely unified. What about Empress Wu's reply? ”

"Empress Wu, she agreed." Nee Preston hesitated, "Empress Wu issued an edict to the world, announcing that the imperial daughter would enter the imperial capital to face the saint in order to test the royal bloodline. ”

“...... Hahaha! ”

So, is that your response? Nero couldn't help but laugh, should he be happy? The tougher the opponent, the more exciting it is, isn't it?

It should be said that how can a woman who can blackmail the prince to order the empire be a simple person? The more this is the case, the more valuable it is to defeat, isn't it?

Nero suppressed his ecstasy at this moment and said: "The emperor is orthodox, Nero Stuart listens to the edict and will enter the imperial capital in the near future." ”

Nee Preston couldn't see Nero's expression, and he wanted to stop talking, stopping and talking, and only said one word for a long time: "Yes!" ”

Although he couldn't see the expression of the princess, at this moment he really felt the power of the princess as a god king. At this moment, he once again strengthened his heart to serve the emperor. is not a puppet of the imperial capital, but the real emperor in front of him.

Nero had no choice, she had to go. If you don't go, it's tantamount to announcing to the world that your identity is fake. That wouldn't mean anything even if she were real. Longtan Tiger's Den, she Nero must also take a trip.

"Wait, I ask you, Crowle, does Wood know each other?"

"Sea Knights, former deputy commander." Nee Preston immediately replied, "Later, Wood's predecessors were dissatisfied with the power of the Empress Wu, saying 'Imperial Knights, only loyal to the Emperor', and was later ......"

"Needless to say, you can guess the rest of it." Nero mused, "Call, Sea Knight Crowle, Wood." ”

Project Retribution aims to build a type of supership, which is designated the Strategic Star Destroyer. Its combat intent is to destroy planetary fortresses and other strategic targets at ultra-long distances, and at the same time requires the combined shield that can tear apart the integrated fleet to assist the main fleet in combat, or destroy the enemy's Star Destroyer to make the enemy lose the ability to strike planets.

If this is said from someone else's mouth, it must be considered a joke. Let's not talk about tearing apart the fleet's combined shield and destroying the Star Destroyer, which are the tasks undertaken by conventional Star Destroyers, and destroying planetary fortresses at an ultra-long distance, which is basically a dream.
