The arrival of the army of the Colonial Security Alliance in the imperial capital made the warlords who had been controlling the imperial capital for several years panic.

Although the defense system of the imperial capital is impregnable, this time the Colonization and Security Federation sent six fleets at once, and no one knows whether the defense system alone can withstand the attack of the Colonial Security Alliance's army.

However, these warlord leaders are not fools, and they know that if they do not unite, they will definitely not be able to resist the attack of the Colonial Security Union fleet, so they can only put aside their prejudices for the time being and join forces to resist.

As a result, the warlords began to contact each other and prepare to hold a joint meeting to discuss how to join forces.

However, an idea is an idea after all, and it is another thing entirely to actually do it. These warlords understand that they must join forces, but how and who will lead them...... These are the big problems, and if they can't be negotiated in advance, I'm afraid that they will be a rabble together.

Over the years, the warlords have been fighting back and forth, and the grievances they have forged cannot be reconciled by one or two conversations, and the security concerns alone are enough to get them to sit together for a meeting.

The reason why the fleet of the Colonization and Security Union did not start attacking immediately was to let these warlords focus on the fight first, so that they could take advantage of it.

For several days in a row, the soldiers and junior officers below were very confused, and they came all the way to the imperial capital, but they did not act immediately, so that the strong morale was not consumed in vain.

Soon this sentiment was transmitted to the senior officers, and many senior generals made requests to Feng Kailong, hoping to start the war as soon as possible, otherwise the soldiers below would have nothing to do, and sooner or later there would be a lot of trouble.

Feng Kailong didn't dare to make his own decisions, and it was an order issued by Liu Yi not to rush to war, and Liu Yi had to agree to start a war, so Feng Kailong came to Liu Yi to discuss when to start fighting.

After listening to Feng Kailong's opinion, Liu Yi said unhurriedly: "Don't be in a hurry to start a war, wait a few more days, and let the fear of those people in the imperial capital brew for a while longer." ”

Feng Kailong said with some concern: "Your Excellency's words are true, but this will also have a negative impact on our own morale, I think we should start the war as soon as possible, even if it is slower later." ”

Liu Yi said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, attack the heart first." The defense of the imperial capital is already strong, not to mention the defense system on the periphery, the defense of the planets alone is also quite solid, if it is all attacked by the fleet, I am afraid that these six fleets may not be enough. Therefore, we should find a way to disintegrate them psychologically, and force is secondary. ”

After listening to Liu Yi's words, Feng Kailong said thoughtfully: "What do you mean that when they start a civil strife on their own, we will take the opportunity to do it?" ”

"Yes, I guess they must be trying to find a way to unite now, and once we attack, it will inevitably prompt them to unite immediately, and instead become their help. But if we wait a few more days, once they feel less stressed, they will start to fight internally, and when we fight again, the resistance will be much less. Liu Yi said.

"It makes sense." Feng Kailong nodded and said, "But the soldiers below have nothing to do, and there will be many incidents, which cannot be ignored." ”

"That's right...... I think it would be better for them to take advantage of this time to conduct exercises, so that the soldiers can adapt to the atmosphere of the battle as soon as possible. Liu Yi suggested.

Feng Kailong thought about it, it seemed that this was also a way, saving those soldiers from having nothing to do when they were full, and they would stay in the battleship all day drinking and gambling.

"Good! I'm going to talk to a few admirals. Feng Kailong nodded and said.

Soon, Feng Kailong, in the name of the General Headquarters, issued an order to the entire fleet to conduct actual combat exercises. Feng Kailong divided the six fleets into two and began to conduct daily fleet warfare exercises, practicing operations in various tactical formations.

The soldiers and officers were puzzled, and they said, "Running all the way to the enemy's house to exercise, are the people above all crazy?" ”

But an order is an order, and once it is given, it must be carried out, so the fleet began to conduct various combat exercises every day for the next few days.

The approach of the Colonial Security Alliance fleet made the warlords of the imperial capital feel very puzzled, so many fleets came to the imperial capital, is it just to conduct exercises? Are you full of food?

However, the warlords still do not dare to take it lightly, whether it is true or not, whether the exercises of the Colonization and Security Alliance fleet are carried out, in short, so many fleets are placed at the doorstep of the house, and they will not come for tourism.

Therefore, the warlords decided to hold a meeting as originally planned and negotiate the joint affairs as soon as possible, so as to protect themselves.

After the meeting began, the warlords were quite sincere at first, and they all said that they understood the truth very well, and were willing to take out their fleets and join forces to fight the enemy.

But then the meeting reached an impasse, and on the question of who would lead the Combined Fleet, several warlords said they were the only ones.

Everyone knows that once you become the commander of the combined fleet, it is equivalent to becoming the leader of everyone's alliance, so you have the opportunity to override others.

The reason why these people fought at the beginning was that no one would obey anyone, so they fought for several years in one go. Now it is difficult to get any of these people to take the initiative to put down their bodies and accept the command of others.

The meeting lasted for a few days, but instead of forming a unified consensus, it turned into a war of words about each other's shortcomings and all the mistakes of others.

Some people see that the situation is not right, and if it continues to develop like this, I am afraid that before the Colony and Allian Alliance has entered, these people themselves will have to fight first.

Some knowledgeable people had no choice but to invite Xu Kai, who had always been neutral, to mediate so that the purpose of the alliance could be completed as soon as possible.

Xu Kai is also one of these warlords, but his identity is somewhat special, just because he is not from Gao Ban's command.

After Gao Ban's death, his subordinates fought one after another in order to compete for the power vacuum left by Gao Ban, and the imperial capital was thrown into darkness.

Xu Kai was an officer who originally belonged to the garrison of the imperial capital, and he controlled a part of the army of the original imperial capital, and under his leadership, this part of the army did not participate in the melee.

Xu Kai's original intention was to remain neutral, as long as he could keep himself, as for who was in power, he was just a spectator.

Later, these people called back and forth, and found that Xu Kai did not help anyone and posed no threat to others, so after joint discussion, it was decided to hand over the defense system of the imperial capital to Xu Kai for management.

Xu Kai didn't want to be the boss, nor did he want other forces to enter the imperial capital again, but he just wanted to maintain the status quo. So he agreed to the other warlords' requests and took on the responsibility of managing the defense system.

Because Xu Kai has always maintained a neutral attitude, he has become more and more powerful among the warlords, and once there is a contradiction that is difficult to resolve, he will often be asked to come forward to make peace.

This time, for the sake of the joint matter, the warlords of all parties quarreled again, so some people thought of Xu Kai and invited him to preside over the meeting, thinking of getting things back on track.

Xu Kai naturally knew that the soldiers of the Colonization and Security Federation were now pressing, and although he did not participate in the battles of other warlords, he did not want the Colonization and Security Federation to come in, so he readily agreed to mediate.

With Xu Kai coming out, the order of the meeting was better, and it was no longer as noisy as before, and it was impossible to discuss business at all. However, there have been many contradictions over the years, and they cannot be resolved by Xu Kai alone.

Although the attitude of the warlords at the meeting was much better, their small private actions never stopped, and as soon as the meeting ended, they began to woo, divide, and provoke all kinds of ......

Xu Kai saw that the progress of the meeting was slow, so he had to talk to these warlord leaders one by one, hoping that everyone could take into account the overall situation and deal with the crisis of the Colonial Security Federation first.

Thanks to Xu Kai's efforts, some people finally agreed that they could give up the leadership of the combined fleet and temporarily hand over their fleet to others to command.

Seeing that the meeting had improved, Xu Kai felt that his efforts had finally come to fruition, but another week had passed.

The fleet of the Colonization and Security Federation has not moved for a long time, and still only engages in various acts every day, and this lazy and unenterprising attitude has created an illusion for the warlords, as if the desire of the Colonization and Security Alliance to take the imperial capital is not strong.

The pressure is becoming less pronounced, which is one of the reasons why the warlords are not in a hurry to join forces, but this is a reason that few people think about, including the warlords themselves.

However, Liu Yi had considered it from the beginning, and now that more than half a month had passed since he arrived at the periphery of the imperial capital, Liu Yi felt that the time should be about the same.

Liu Yi didn't tell the admiral below directly what he thought, and only revealed this meaning to Feng Kailong alone.

Seeing that Liu Yi was finally relieved, Feng Kailong let out a long breath in his heart, and said secretly: "Lord Liu is too calm, if it drags on any longer, I will almost doubt whether he wants to fight this battle......

Feng Kailong then summoned a meeting of the admirals of several fleets and told them that the time was ripe for war and they could start preparing for action.

Kamikanzaki and Kirin also participated in the meeting, although Kamikanzaki was the commander of the mecha unit, which was actually equivalent to the same rank as the fleet admiral. Ever since Liu Yi took charge of the Colonization Alliance, the mecha unit has been a separate branch of the army and a fleet.

These days, Shangguanqi and Ke Rin have been leading the soldiers below to carry out various training and adaptation, and their confidence in completing the surprise attack operation is much higher than before.

If they were 50% sure before they set off, now they are almost 70% sure.

Shangguan Qi heard Feng Kailong say that the time had come for the war, and immediately said to several people attending the meeting: "Commander-in-chief, rest assured, I promise that this mission will be successfully completed!" ”

"That's right, we're much more sure now than we were two weeks ago, so let's just wait and hear the good news!" Ke Rin also patted his chest and said.
