Chapter 112: The Capital Circle, the Princely Districts, and the Frontier

A commander who does not have an enemy is not a good commander, and a general who has not been assassinated is not a good general. As the ruler of a violent institution, what he does is the work of revenge, and he will be hated and feared by the enemy. Therefore, a good old man cannot be a commander who kills like a "butcher".

As the captain of the long-range starship, Rui Cheng is a very high-ranking general of the Earth Far Star, and there are bound to be many enemies. And the majestic captain who appeared in the video communication was more than half a hundred years old, and he was a big enemy of Ruicheng, a high-ranking general of the Ditai planetary system garrison fleet, Lei Hu.

As for the grudge against each other, it was the fleet commanded by Rui Cheng who killed the other party's two sons. Before that, for about half a year, the Earth Far Planet System and the Earth Tai Planet System were engaged in limited local wars within the limits of the rules.

After confirming the identity of the other party, the relevant intelligence information also appeared in front of Zuo Zhe. Considering that they were still at war before, it is natural that they have a bad relationship with each other. However, judging from the information obtained by Zuo Zhe, although the Ditai Planetary System did not openly admit defeat, it made a huge concession in the resource competition with the Earth-Far Planetary System, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to the reality of losing the war. It is also the defeat of the Ditai Planetary System on the local battlefield that makes the surrounding planetary systems of the Earth Cave Planetary System feel strongly uneasy about the improvement of the strength of the Earth Far Planetary System. Now, these reinforcements who came from the planetary systems around the cave planetary system faintly huddled together, wanting to work together to put pressure on the rescue fleet of the distant planetary system.

"The interstellar pirates that invaded the cave planetary system have retreated, and we, as the first fleet to come to the rescue, have the obligation and responsibility to maintain the security of our neighbors in outer space. Now, the security of the cave planetary system has been stabilized, but what is the intention of all of you who are late to break into the cave planetary system in a state of peace? Do you want to take advantage of the emptiness of the planetary system in the cave to come in and rob while the fire is burning?! With the assistance of simulation software, Ruiya issued a stern question that matched the tone of Ruicheng's usual speech.

"Although you are the first fleet to arrive in the cave system, we have received information that you are robbing the cave system, and your behavior is worse than that of the interstellar pirates! At the invitation of the local forces of the Cave Star, we are qualified to enter the Cave Planetary System to supervise your actions, so that some people will not burn, kill, and loot in the name of rescue! Lei Hu unceremoniously slammed back. If it were possible, Thunder Tiger really wanted to pull a vote of allies behind him to fight with the Far Earth Planetary System Rescue Fleet. It's a pity that fleet commanders from other planetary systems are not willing to go to war with the far-planetary system.

No matter how fierce the war of words is, it will not help the situation to change. What really determines the change in the situation is each other's strength and the interests they seek. As for the main fleet of the cave planetary system, which was strongly requested by the major forces of the cave planetary system to go to the rescue and was blocked by interstellar pirates, and was about to be unable to hold on? This requirement was selectively ignored by the commanders of the fleets. If the cave planetary system still has its own combat power, the cave planetary system still has some right to speak. But today's cave planetary system is simply an undefended treasure, and it really lacks the power to resist. If you want to send away these "reinforcements", it is almost impossible for the major forces of the Earth Cave Planetary System not to cut out enough benefits.

Because of the huge differences, the negotiations between the two sides will not be able to achieve substantive results at all. In the face of the threat of many starfleets led by the Earth Tai Planet System, although the Earth Far Star Rescue Fleet is at a disadvantage, it occupies the geographical advantage of the Earth Cave Planet System, and even if it can't win, it will not be quickly defeated. Moreover, with the passage of time, the situation of the main fleet of the cave planetary system, which is blocked by interstellar pirates, will become more and more difficult. When they set off before, the main fleet of the cave planetary system did not carry enough logistical supplies in order to pursue mobility. Therefore, the real combat power of the main fleet of the Earth Cave Planetary System is weaker than the expectations of Lei Hu and others. As long as it drags on, the main fleet of the Cave Planetary System will be dragged to the point of running out of ammunition and food, and the main fleet of the Cave Planetary System will likely be defeated and surrendered under the psychological offensive of the interstellar pirates.

The reason why Rui Xiao did not directly control the main fleet of the Cave Planetary System was not that he couldn't eat it, but that the main fleet of the Cave Planetary System had to stay away from the Cave Planetary System. Only in this way can the rescue fleet of the distant planetary system loot on a large scale. If the main fleet of the Cave Planet System is allowed to stay in the Cave Planet System, those controlled fleet commanders and high-ranking officers are likely to be overthrown by mutinous mid- and low-level officers. In contrast, it takes some more time and effort to let the main fleet of the cave planetary system be lost in outer space far away from the cave planetary system, but it is a relatively less risky approach. In addition, there is another reason for Rui Xiao to do this, that is, the military quality and discipline of the regular army of the Earth Far Star are really inferior to this private army called Star Pirates that was secretly cultivated by Rui Xiao.

Just when the negotiations were deadlocked, and each other's fleets had already put on a combat posture to intimidate and threaten each other, a fleet communication from the vassal regions of the Star Alliance came from the depths of the void. In the Galaxy Alliance, the most core region is also the most civilized region, and there is no doubt that the core capital area is the core. Outside the core capital area of the Galaxy Alliance, there are many local princes who have broken away from the capital area and have inextricable relationships with the major forces in the capital area. Outside the sphere of influence of the local princes, the outermost and broadest region of the Galaxy Alliance, that is, the region with the most backward civilization, is collectively referred to as the "frontier". The planetary systems around the Earth Cave Planetary System, the Earth Far Planet System, and the Earth Tai Planetary System all belong to the Frontier.

Observing the history of the development of the Galaxy Alliance, it can be seen that the structure of the Galaxy Alliance is like a shallot divided into several layers, and the closer it is to the core, the longer the development time of the planetary civilization will be, and the more prosperous the civilization will be. Don't look at the capital area in the core area of the alliance, the territory is the smallest, the capital circle has a strong control over the peripheral princes' forces, firmly holding the most prosperous planetary systems. Those vassal forces that are unable to compete with the big forces in the capital area, and are unwilling to be controlled by them too much, will continue to shift the influence of their forces to the periphery of the vassal districts, and put more energy into strengthening their control over the frontier.

But the most extensive frontier is not without resistance. The incomparably vast territory has endowed many forces in the frontier with an unruly heart. Explorers who are fearless adventurers in the first place, who can voluntarily come to the wilderness to sow the fire of civilization, can allow the fruits of their hard work to be taken away by others? Therefore, for the invasion of the forces of the vassal regions, the forces in the frontier that established civilization on their own were very resistant. Now, the starfleet from the princely region actually came uninvited, which immediately aroused the strong disgust of the border starfleets!
