Slightly tucking the silver-white hair on his temples, Qin Haocang looked at Du Run, then at Qiu Xingyu, who was smoking with a stuffy head, and at Pang Wenbin and Zhu Yajian, who were frowning. Deep voice. "It is unlikely that we will be able to block the first round of the enemy's offensive. The Original Sin Expeditionary Force declared war on the three major star fields of the Silver Wing System at the same time, and the disparity in strength between the enemy and us was huge. And the Federation, Baiyo and Komia have been fighting for a long time, and they are divided and merged. It is difficult to form an all-out counterattack and unify the situation against the enemy. ”

"The most tricky thing is that the aliens do not adopt crowd tactics, but elite tactics. According to the information that came out of the captives' mouths, the parasites they used to improve their combat abilities were called 'Aether Armor'. In their hometown of Eri, only the best elite soldiers have Aether Armor. In other words, the warriors sent by the aliens are not ordinary soldiers, but the elite of the planet. ”

"The strength of their combat qualities combined with their already strong beast armor and aether armor, on the battlefield, a 'combat unit' of the alien race can usually defeat or draw the Federation, about 3 to 4 combat units in a hundred. Our Komia Star Domain is weak, and the quality of the army is not as good as that of the Federation and Baiyo. It would take even 5 to 6 combat units to draw with one of the opposing combat units. This brings not only defeat in battle, but also in the environment of interstellar combat, the fewer combat units and the stronger the individual soldiers, the lower the need for supplies. The less pressure on the transport line. The greater their combat mobility and combat radius, the more. This increase in combat effectiveness is not linear, but exponential! ”

"On this basis, the aliens have also mastered the stargate technology that is much more advanced than ours. The Original Sin Expeditionary Force fights the three scattered parts of the Federation, Baiyo and Komia as a whole, which is already a great advantage. But the other party has also mastered the stargate technology and occupies the space advantage of interstellar operations. ”

Moreover, these aliens generally believe in the original sin religion fanatically, and they are not afraid of death in battle, and they do not have the fear and weakness that normal people should have in the face of bullets and artillery fire. Such an enemy is undoubtedly the most formidable. ”

Qin Haocang looked at the star head Qiu Xingyu again, and said after a little hesitation.

"IMHO, even if the first offensive is blocked, the situation that will form in the future will be the continuous encroachment on us in the second and third offensives of the aliens. Even break the Federation, Baiyo, and Komia and eat them one by one. A balanced stand-off situation is unlikely. ”

"The worst thing is that the Komia star field is coincidentally located in the center of the war. Whatever direction the war goes in the future, it serves as a double war buffer zone between the Federation and the Hundred Covenants, and between the Silver Wing and Iri. The Comia Star Domain will be the first place to fall. ”

......

The conference room fell into an indescribable helpless silence caused by "having the intention to kill the enemy, but not being able to return to the sky".

None of the star leaders, defense ministers, heads of military regions, and "star officers" gathered around the round table of the meeting had optimistic speculations. The pessimism, which was already strong enough, began to ferment further.

In silence, Du Run opened his mouth again. Her voice was low and mellow, and the stars outside the window reflected in her eyes, which seemed deeper than ever.

"Whatever the reason, whether it is a humiliating defeat or an attempt to stabilize the border and consolidate diplomacy. In the history of the Old Calendar, several important peace events have brought about a long period of peace and development. ”

"More than a third of the Komia Realm has now fallen. The fact that aliens take the initiative to cease the war is inevitably the need to consolidate their vested interests and consolidate the economy and defense of the enemy-occupied areas. And now we need that respite more than they do. Then we might as well seize this opportunity, admit our temporary defeats, and negotiate peace with them. Pay war reparations and make peace with them. Then, through negotiations, we will try to stabilize the situation as much as possible and look for opportunities. ”

Turning his head to look at Qiu Xingyu, Du Runluo smiled.

"When it comes to war, Boss Qiu and I are both businessmen, and we definitely don't have a thorough analysis of all of you here. But as a businessman, I think Boss Qiu and all the representatives of the consortium and senators here should be able to understand what I said. ”

"Since you can't beat it, let's stabilize these Iri people from afar first. It can be known through the countless wars in the history of the old calendar. This conclusion can also be drawn from the repeated smuggling between the Federation and the Hundred Covenants, as well as the numerous transactions between the Federation and the Hundred Covenants as 'middlemen' through the Komia Domain. ”

"Once the situation is stable. No matter how much hatred there is between the enemy and us, no matter how much we do not share the sky, we cannot run away from buying and selling, even if it is a bartering act. Over time, you will get to know each other better. We can buy their 'Aether Armor' and 'Beast Armor' for research and replication. Ways could also be found to introduce their space technology. With time, and with the right operation, we can reverse our strategic disadvantage through economic means. ”

"Get a strategic respite."

"Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

......

Qiu Xingyu took a hard puff of cigarette, clenched his fat fist, and said helplessly. "But I really don't have a daughter or anything, the star area network is already so developed, you say that I can get a woman out casually, can I get through the tricks with the aliens? Aliens aren't stupid! ”

......

Du Run's eyes gradually dimmed, and her voice was still calm.

"Donghu Dushi is one of the five wealthy businessmen of Juguxing, and I am the eldest lady of Donghu Dushi. Even now, when it has been trampled by the fire of the Hundred Covenants, the Du clan still has a considerable degree of influence in Juguxing. Now he has done Du's business in the Kemia Star Domain. In addition to the invaluable industries in the war, it also has 6% of the waterway resources of the Kemia Star Field. can be regarded as a woman with a head. ”

"The little girl doesn't dare to boast too much, but if I say that I am beautiful, everyone here should not think that I am conceited to the point of lack of self-knowledge."

"So ......"

"We can go through a ceremony and let me worship the boss as a brother-in-law......"

......

"Du Run! What are you talking about? ”

Du Feng, who sat behind Du Run without saying a word from beginning to end, finally understood something. Du Feng is a gentleman with well-developed limbs, he is good at fighting, but he does not understand war. If it weren't for the influence of the Du Foundation, he would hardly be qualified to sit in this conference room with the senators, who are composed of representatives of the military and the major consortia of the southern and northern factions. Of course, he personally didn't care at all whether he could participate in such a dull meeting. He is sitting here to support the façade of the Du Foundation, otherwise his sister is a weak woman, and she stands out for the Du family alone, which is a little unseemly.
