Chapter 219: Competitive Competition
The fact that the army pressed the border but did not start the battle for a long time undoubtedly brought great pressure to the passive defensive side. It's like a paper tiger, and it looks scary from afar. For a paper tiger, it would be good to show its combat power from afar, and it would be better not to really go down to fight. If you really want to fight, you must also fight a campaign with a high probability of victory. Once the true side of the paper tiger is exposed, it's a pit. Therefore, although Zuo Zhe was facing the nine-planetary system of the Temple of Earth, what he was thinking about was how to attack the ten-planetary system of the Temple of Earth.
The position of the nine planetary systems of the Temple of Earth is closest to the frontier, and it is also at the key nodes of many interstellar shipping lanes. If you bypass the Nine Planetary System of the Temple of Earth and attack the Eight Planetary System or the Ten Planetary System of the Temple of Earth, the fleet may be trapped in the narrow interstellar lane. If the front road is blocked by the fleet of the Ten Planetary Systems of the Temple of Earth, and the back road is blocked by the fleet of the Nine Planetary Systems of the Temple of Earth, the attacking fleet will fall into a dangerous situation of being flanked by the belly and back.
It is precisely because of this that the Eight Planetary System Fleet of the Temple of Earth and the Ten Planetary System Fleet of the Temple of Earth can deploy troops in the Nine Planetary System of the Temple of Earth, and they are not too worried about the threat from the far planetary system. Unless the enemy fleet goes around in a large circle, passing through the territory of other frontier powers that the fleet is not familiar with. But in that case, the whereabouts of the fleet will be discovered, and the possibility of a sneak attack will be lost.
"We didn't have a conflict, we were even allies more than half a month ago. Might as well be so, for the sake of a precious and rare peace, why not change the way of war and use the method of competitive competition to decide the outcome of this war? With the assistance of Cheng Feng, a dog-headed military division, Zuo Zhe made such a request through Si Lan, who occupied General Kaino's body.
The Combined Fleet also did not want to lose the battle with the huge and powerful Wansheng Fleet. Therefore, it would be great if you could really use the traditional economic methods of ancient times to fight it out. Even if the enemy repents, you can delay for a while. Even if you fail, you can consider whether to surrender or break the contract according to the occupation of the Temple of Heaven and the planetary system.
"What about the specific rules for us to take turns to replace the requirements and improve the traditional competition?" Si Lan proposed.
"Agreed!" Half an hour later, the supreme commander of the Combined Fleet, General Du Scale, gave an affirmative reply after obtaining the consent of the bigwigs in the rear.
"Since we put forward the opinion, it is up to you to say the constraints." Si Lan said.
"There must be no users of the Super God Space Loading System in the competition." Du Yan said first. If the user of the supergod space loading system is not allowed to intervene, it can avoid the appearance of a powerful existence with one enemy and ten thousand.
"The competitive battlefield chooses to be in the ten-star atmosphere of the Earth Altar." After deliberation, Si Lan spoke.
"There must be no soul-possessing mind-runners in the competition." Du Liang then denied the possibility of the enemy using the powerful telekinesis.
"Both sides can fly all types of mechs." Si Lan immediately responded.
"The initial mecha of both sides of the competition must all come from the atmosphere of the Ten Stars of the Earth Altar." Du Yan sneered, putting an end to the other party's intention to use the high-end space mecha in the aircraft carrier.
"Outer space units are not allowed to provide fire support and reconnaissance assistance during the competition." Si Lan gave a restriction to avoid the opponent's left arm
"The maximum number of players on one side is 10 million." The corners of Du Scale's lips raised. With so many people participating in the war, the side of the Wansheng fleet couldn't even make up people!
Du Scale's proposal made the fleet leaders on the side of the Wansheng fleet frown, feeling that such a proposal was too much. With a maximum of 10 million people fighting, this can lead to a world war even if it is put into the planet's atmosphere.
"Nuclear and antimatter bombs of all yields can be used." Since the other party is so undisciplined, then don't blame the Wansheng fleet for being ruthless.
The agreement had to be interrupted for a moment. With such conditions, the people of the Ten Stars of the Temple of Earth may not agree. Whether it is the scale of the battle with a ceiling of 10 million people, or the combat method of using nuclear bombs and antimatter bombs, this is the rhythm of the ten stars of the Temple of Earth to the death. If there is no sincerity on the part of each other, it is better to go to war in outer space.
Taking a step back from each other, the Duscals side reduced the battle size from the upper limit of 10 million to the upper limit of 1,000. Zuo Zhe, on the other hand, excludes nuclear weapons, antimatter weapons, and pure energy weapons.
If there is a small-scale surface war, the inhabitants and forces of the ten planetary systems of the Temple of Earth can still acquiesce.
But if it's just this kind of petty fight, how can you show each other's strength? Previously, the bosses of the capital area and the princely districts set up local battlefields in the distant planetary system and the cave planetary system on the frontier. That handwriting, that spirit, tsk, is really staggering. But when it comes to the Combined Fleet and the Wansheng Fleet, it is reduced to a small area of battle in the planet's atmosphere with a total of 2,000 people? Having said that, this grade has dropped a bit big!
The scale of the Ten Stars of the Temple of Earth is so limited that no matter which side wins, it will have no impact on the victory or defeat of the fleets of the two sides in outer space. Therefore, the meaning of this competition is more inclined to stall for time.
The restrictions on the big frame have been made, and the next time is for the two fleets to recruit the "crickets" for the competition. After all, it's a confrontation between each other, and even if you can't decide something, you can't deal with it hastily.
However, the people who participate in this kind of life-and-death competition are like gladiators in the Colosseum in ancient Rome, fighting to the death just to win a smile from the higher-ups, which is really aggrieved. If you have mercy on your men, you can recruit elite mercenaries to fight. If there are subordinates who don't like the eye, you can take the opportunity to push those who don't like the eye into the race to the death.
Zuo Zhe is naturally a good boss who cherishes the lives of his subordinates. Therefore, Zuo Zhe allocated all the places for the competition to the crew of the Ten Planetary System Fleet of the Altar of the Original. If they win and survive, they can all be disarmed and returned to the field. Even if you die in battle, it can be regarded as a fallen leaf returning to your roots.
"Who volunteered? If you win, you will not only be able to go home and reunite with your family, but you will also get a big prize! "In the face of such favorable conditions, the crews of the Ten Planetary System Fleet of the Temple of Earth all look homesick and want to continue to shine for the fleet. In the face of major decisions, people are very measured, and they will not lose big because of the small.
Seeing that no one volunteered to sign up, Si Lan, who occupied Admiral Kaino's body, began to take the initiative to name the ship's crew who showed a strong desire to go home on weekdays and talked about going home when they worked.
"I'll give you a chance to return home. This time, you can show off your prowess as you battle your enemies in your home land in a high-performance war mech! The crew members who were dragged out by Si Lan were all trembling with excitement, shouting and screaming, and they were extremely excited to say that they would definitely remember the commander's earnest teachings, and they would never forget the chief's family and the eight generations of the chief's ancestors.
Even the crew members who were not named were all empathetic, and they showed a very sentimental look at those comrades who were about to go home. As the saying goes, "the iron-clad battalion and the flowing soldiers", everyone has a day to leave. In the face of the agitated and somewhat incoherent comrades, these crews, who resolutely did not want to go home, felt that they had not done enough, and that they needed to hone in the fleet for a few more years.
The atmosphere in the fleet was warm and inspiring. The inspired crew members all cheered up one by one, showed a conscientious work attitude, and had the strength to catch up with me and win the first place.
In order to commend those who can finally return to their hometowns, the top management of the fleet unanimously decided to issue a super cool necklace to each of these honorable sailors. If they show the necklace around their necks in the crowd, they can be sure that the passers-by around them will have wide eyes and shocked eyes.
Inspired by the glittering necklace around their necks, these crew members who were about to return home showed extremely reluctant eyes, and walked back to the starship that took them home step by step.
"When you go home, you must behave well, and don't embarrass our Wansheng fleet!" Waving their arms vigorously, they greeted the returning crew who were depressed, and the crews who stayed in the fleet said that they had been educated and must do their best in the next work.
The competitive event on the side of the Ten Planetary System of the Temple of Earth successfully eased the atmosphere of the two fleets. A month-long competitive event can already decide most things. By the time the competition is over, it's time for things to come to light. But now, this is not the time to rest.
Although the atmosphere inside the Wansheng fleet has become much better, and the work enthusiasm of the crew has increased, the hidden dangers in this have not been eliminated, but are brewing over time.
At the other end of the Temple of Heaven planetary system, the Celestial Interstellar Legion and the Celestial Dragon Interstellar Legion have appeared on the interstellar route on the periphery of the planetary system of the Temple of Earth.
Welcoming these two interstellar legions were the main interstellar legions of the Temple of Heaven Planetary System, the Temple of Heaven Interstellar Legion, and the cannon fodder army from the Temple of Earth 1 to the Temple of Earth 7, and the seven planetary systems came to support. To deal with the Celestial Star Legion and the Celestial Dragon Star Legion, you can't fight against the planetary system, and you must keep the enemy out of the country. Compared with the two interstellar legions in the capital area of the labor division, the alliance of the Temple of Heaven Consortium fighting at home has an absolute advantage in logistics. Before the battle, the Temple of Heaven Consortium received a notification from the forces of the other princely districts, as long as the Temple of Heaven Consortium supported for a month, the other forces in the princely districts would take action to reverse the situation, and leave these two unpopular interstellar legions in the princely areas forever, so that those great lords in the capital area could recognize the situation. If the Temple of Heaven Consortium can't hold out for even a month, then the other forces in the princely region can only hehe.
