Chapter Eighty-Eight: Meeting [2]
March 28, 2064, is destined to be something that many people will never forget.
Many years later, when the generals were writing their memoirs or giving interviews to journalists, they remembered the details of that day. Perhaps the most representative of them is the passage that Marshal of the Republic of Lane told the famous journalist who filmed the war feature film on his 80th birthday.
Sitting in the study, he described it this way, holding a pipe
"I remember that we were in the third tactical room on the fourth floor of the command center of the flagship [Heidfield]."
"The room was bright. Electronic lights spread all over the ceiling, illuminating the surroundings in snow-white. The walls are lined with standard tactical deduction computers and various equipment. The largest is the electronic interstellar map. occupies an entire wall. An eight-meter-high light curtain falls from the ceiling like a waterfall. In the center of the room is an electronic sand table. The light curtain of the sand table is like a shrunken universe. Sometimes standing next to it, looking at those planets and warships, you have the illusion that you are God! ”
"You know," despite being over 80 years old, Macchia still has the charm of an artist. He took the pipe from his mouth and pointed it at the reporter: "You can do whatever you want on it." Those planets, nebulae, asteroid belts, shipping routes, and data are right in front of your eyes, at your fingertips. If you have brains and an army, maybe you can change the world. ”
"The God of that day was Admiral Tian Xingjian?" The reporter smiled and asked.
Macchia didn't make a sound, but fell silent. For a long time, his wrinkled face showed memory and respect: "Yes, that day, he was God!" ”
Quietly in the study, the old man's flowing silver hair, and the face that although he was old, he had the unique charm of an old man, loomed in the smoke.
"Since the retreat of the Twin Star Horn Corridor, Fujii and I have been chatting in private, and we are both full of curiosity and respect for this general Leray, who is younger than us."
"Curious because of his background as a mechanic, because of the bandit warships under his command, the twelfth generation mecha, and his experience and achievements. And respect, because we see his efforts every day. ”
"If you haven't seen how he defeated General Tsuyoshi Fujii in the deduction, how he studied and commanded sleeplessly on the way to retreat from the Twin Star Horns, and how he worked hard in the deduction computer and game pod, you won't understand how much he has paid for this war, and you won't imagine what this guy who doesn't have a lot of seriousness looks like when he gets serious."
"I like to look at a person who is serious," the reporter nodded, "Sometimes, when I sit behind my desk and see my secretary busy doing things for me, I will have a very strange feeling of fascination, and I want to keep watching like this!" ”
"Your secretary must be a beautiful woman," Macchia, who was over eighty years old, winked playfully, "to tell you a secret, I also like pretty female secretaries." ”
The reporter burst out laughing.
This marshal, who has been married sixteen times in his life, is already well-known for his romantic nature. Among them, there are four wives, all of whom are his secretaries. It's still a secret.
"Let's put aside the beautiful female secretary for the time being," the reporter smiled, "Let's talk about the battle meeting that affected the fate of the entire Filipino League." As a participant in the conference, I am sure you must have a deep memory of this. ”
"Of course, it was the most important moment of my life." Macchia nodded.
"Did you start by hearing Wang Nanxu's three words?" The journalist apparently did his homework.
"Yes." Macchia smoked his pipe, "At that time, we all heard the conversation between General Tian and Margaret. I'm not sure, but when I turned my head to see Fujii's eyes, I thought I had heard them right, and they did mention the name 'Wang Nanxu'. So when General Tian was about to hold a pre-war meeting to announce his plan, the heartbeat of each of us accelerated abruptly and inexplicably. ”
"According to General McKinley's recollection," the reporter looked down at his notebook, "and he said that since Field Marshal Hastings became seriously ill, no one, including him, had no idea what the coalition forces were going to do next. More than 1,000 plans were made at the base camp, all of which were rejected. Moreover, since General Tian Xingjian gave up the jump point, many officers and soldiers thought that the coalition forces could give up.
"I can't remember exactly how many plans I rejected!" Macchia bit his pipe and said, "However, we discussed it in private, and we all thought that this battle was actually no longer in suspense. Truth be told, no one has the confidence to beat Sober, and they don't have a clue. It seems to us that it is only a matter of time before the South-East is lost. The only thing we could sit at that time was to be ready to sacrifice. ”
The reporter did not interrupt the old man's narration, but only looked at him quietly.
"When General Tian Xingjian announced the pre-war meeting, I was standing less than two meters away from him. At that time, the location of the flagship [Heidefeld] was in space more than three million kilometers away from the capital star. There was nothing around. From my point of view, the floor-to-ceiling windows behind General Tian were spotlessly clean. Outside the window, the stars are shining, and thousands of white stars are like crystal pendants, hanging on the black curtain of the universe, sparkling with the rotation of the lights. ”
The old man looked at the window of the study and fell into the memory
"It's time for everyone to know about my plans."
Until they sat down in the tactical conference room, watched the heavy automatic doors slowly close, watched the lights dim, and the generals were still in a dream.
The fat man's words, and the name Wang Nanxu, kept echoing in their ears and rolling in their minds. All kinds of thoughts are like red-hot soldering irons. The left side burned and the right side burned, tormenting their nerves back and forth. Everyone had a vague premonition that they were about to experience an important historical moment!
They accompanied the fat man to command the battle and play games together, because of the fat man's efforts, because they had the hope of even one in ten thousand luck to defeat Sober.
However, they never believed that they had the advantage over Sober.
until
"Before the meeting begins, I'd like to introduce you to a person." The fat man stood in front of the Skynet terminal in the tactical conference room and looked around.
In the conference room, generals from the countries of the Filipino Alliance were sitting in a precarious position. On the communication screen on the wall, Russell, Mickey, Faywen, and the commanders of the fleets of various countries are present.
At this time, the fat man looked relaxed, and he didn't seem to have a sense of urgency that the big war was coming. On the contrary, it made everyone feel that after coming out of the game cabin, he became the honest guy again.
The shy smile on his face that made people want to slap past him had an inexplicably calming power.
In the eyes of everyone, the fat man's hand was on the keyboard of the Skynet computer.
It was just a second of pause, and he was already thinking about it. Everything from the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War to the present is like a movie from the beginning of the Le Ray War to the present. Hamilton, Brown, Snyder, and the sacrificed Leray soldiers, the cities destroyed in patches of mushroom clouds and firelight, all emerge in the picture.
The fat man suddenly had a feeling as if the soldiers who had died, all the Lelei who had died or were still alive, were sitting in the high stands and watching him.
When you get out of the game pod, the game is about to begin.
I am like an athlete who has already stepped on the starting line, there is no way back, and there is no time to hesitate. Day after day, the arduous preparation is for the runway that extends forward in front of us.
On this runway, you have to surpass all your opponents, go beyond your own limits, and even go beyond the wind. to win.
***! Sober, Lao Tzu is here!
"," the fat man pressed the start button, "come out." ”
"Butt?" The generals of the Filipino Alliance, who did not know why, were of course stunned, and McKinley, Russell and others, who knew the inside story, were also shocked. No one expected that the fat man would let the little kid come out at this time.
The little kid is the biggest secret of the fat man. Once he appears, it won't be long before it spreads throughout the human world!
The light cluster of the virtual light curtain, in the rotation, condenses into the appearance of a little boy.
Under the gaze of everyone, either surprised or confused, the little kid walked from the left side of the light curtain to the right, stood beside the fat man, and smiled shyly at everyone. That look, he is a miniature version of the dead fat man.
"Introduction," the fat man met everyone's gaze, his tone was flat, and the words he said were shocking: "He is the artificial intelligence of my Lelei Federation, and he is also the current controller of the Feimeng Skynet, you can call him a little brat." ”
The generals stared blankly at the fat man, his eyes blank. They don't seem to have come back to their senses yet.
The fat man said who this little boy is, what kind of bullshit name is this, etc
Oh God, it's artificial intelligence!
The most agitated Baras stood up suddenly, his eyes almost bulging out!
As he Huo Ran got up, Fujii Tsuyoshi and Macchia next to him, including Rabinsky and all the Filipino League generals, jumped up all at once. Everyone's eyes widened, staring at the fat man, and they didn't hide the shock in their eyes.
"You don't have to be so excited," the fat man waved his hand and said to Ballas, "General Ballas should have heard the rumors that there is an artificial intelligence in the Binarte Empire, right?" ”
"I've heard of it." Barras felt like he couldn't speak. swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva in succession before finishing the short sentence.
"That's true." The fat man said lightly: "Fortunately, we in Fimeng also have artificial intelligence that belongs to us. ”
He turned his head and looked at the little kid, "Say hello to everyone." ”
"Hello everyone," the little kid smiled and waved his hand, and walls, windows, fences, grass, and comfortable chairs, coffee tables, and drinks appeared on the screen. The dark world is transformed into the back garden of a castle in an instant.
And the little kid sat on the chair and crossed Erlang's legs: "Don't doubt what you see." Don't doubt how smart I am. I meet all your requirements for artificial intelligence - to have a *** and inalienable personality, to have *** thinking, and not to need any predetermined programming In short, I am created by humans. Second, I am another intelligent life form. ”
At this moment, every Filipino alliance general has completely lost the ability to think. The appearance of the little boy and his words directly shattered their original understanding of the world.
No one thought that the legend of artificial intelligence in the Binarte Empire turned out to be true. No one thought that Fimeng also had its own artificial intelligence. And, in the hands of the fat man!
"Artificial Intelligence" One of the Allied lieutenant generals was half-open, his eyes were distracted, and his face was flushed with blood from excessive shock and ecstasy. The whole person looked like he was already stupid, and he kept muttering.
"Artificial intelligence!" Macchia and Fujii Tsuyoshi turned their heads out of the window almost in unison, looking at the bandit fleet stationed on the left side of the command cluster.
Those huge [Doomsday]-class space carriers, those separable bandit warships, and their twelfth-generation mecha and mecha god of war plus artificial intelligence god, what kind of army is this!
"Fat man," McKinley, who sat next to the fat man, whispered, "Why are you?"
"Now I'm the commander of the Filipino Alliance, the *** man of Field Marshal Hastings," the fat man whispered quietly. Then he raised his head and said loudly: "Come to think of it, you are very strange, why am I here to tell you such an absolute secret as artificial intelligence." ”
"The reason is very simple," the fat man said word by word, "because, together we will go through a bitter war!" ”
The excited generals all quieted down and looked at him intently.
"I don't need to say anything more about the importance and hardship of this battle. The name Sauber is enough to make us understand how powerful the enemy is in front of us. ”
"Marshal Hastings said that without sacrifice, there can be no victory. I don't know how many Allied soldiers we will sacrifice in this battle, how many generals will die on the battlefield, and how many soldiers will disappear into the universe with their warships. But I know that if we can't stick together and trust each other, then our sacrifice will be worthless! ”
The fat man's voice echoed through the room.
"You may wonder why the Binarte Empire has been able to catch up with and overtake the Republic of Fiyan, which is leading in all respects, in just twenty years. The reason is because they got an artificial intelligence named Little Girl twenty years ago. "With the little girl's overall control, Binalt's economy becomes more competitive, their resources are used more efficiently, and both minerals and manpower are allocated where they can be most effective." ”
"When this country, which has been ready for a world war since thirty years ago, has developed a series of policies aimed at this goal, with the assistance of little girls, you can imagine what the result will be."
The generals looked at each other in shock, and the fat man's words were like a bolt of lightning that pierced through the fog.
If the West had artificial intelligence and had been preparing for this war many years ago, then one can fully imagine how happy William III and Sober would have been when the members of the Supreme Council of the Filipino League were still arrogantly believing that the West was not going to challenge the League and had repeatedly rejected the military budgets and procurement lists of the countries of the Filipino League, and were still arguing over whether to expand their army.
This is not a war that broke out by chance.
The basic depletion of energy in the human world and the ambition of the Binalt Empire to conquer the world have long been doomed.
This would also explain why the military of the Western Covenant is so strong. Why were they able to capture eighty percent of the key jump points of the human interstellar channel with a lightning offensive at the beginning of the war?
With the assistance of artificial intelligence, Xiyue has an indisputable advantage in the deployment and deployment of troops, in Skynet information and command!
"But there's one thing I've always found strange," said the fat man, "and in Leray's science lab, many of the experiments were done with the help of the little kids. Our scientific and technological level is improving very quickly, and everyone can know this through the ships and weapons of the bandit army. And the Binarte Empire does not seem to have made any leaps in this regard. Except for the adjudicators. ”
"Of course, this involves a puzzling secret and a historical case that has nothing to do with the battle we are facing now." The fat man's fingers tapped on the table and he stood up, "They have little girls, we have little kids." This is the first strategic condition for the comparison of our coalition forces and the Sober fleet. On this condition, we are equal. ”
"Let's talk about the second condition," the fat man walked to the interstellar map.
"Maybe you've heard a little bit just now, so I might as well be honest with you to tell you that the reason why I wasn't on the front line and made everyone wait so long before the Battle of Twin Stars started was because I was on my way from the Salga Federation to the A3 galaxy at that time."
The fat man's words caused a commotion again.
Even without saying anything more from the fat man, the generals had already guessed what he was doing in Salga.
Many generals of the Filipino Alliance, including Tsuyoshi Fujii, blushed for themselves for using this as an excuse to attack the fat man.
"I won't go into details about what happened in Salga. What I can tell you is that the Salga Federation has returned to the Filipino League under the leadership of General Wang Nanxu. They will fight side by side with us against the invasion of Western Covenant. Now, Admiral Wang Nanxu has led two groups of troops, with a total of 30 A-class fleets, to assemble at the jumping point of the Jepeng North Sea Galaxy. Always ready to attack. At the same time, the ten A-class fleets jointly composed of the Leray Federation, the Republic of Knevel, the Republic of Chakna, the Puditok Federation and the Tatania *** Alliance also joined Admiral Wang Nanxu under the leadership of Admiral Le Lei and General Chuck Na Pang Longqi. ”
"The North Sea Galaxy?"
Macchia jerked to his feet and walked quickly to the interstellar map.
The North Sea Galaxy in Jeppen, located north of Jeppen. It is a strategic location connecting Jeppen, Seuss and the public galaxy to Lere Bermuda. At the beginning, for the sake of this galaxy, Seuss and Jeppen turned against each other many times. Over the millennia, the North Sea Galaxy changed hands several times, and in the end, Jeppen took control of it.
Once they take the North Sea Galaxy, it not only means that Wang Nanxu and they can directly attack the capital of Jeppen, which is only two galaxies away, but also means that they can directly enter the hinterland of the Suss Empire and start a killing spree! …… The chapter name of the previous one was actually typosed, and it was too sleepy. I'm sorry. This thing can't be changed. It can only be regarded as a small episode of counterfeiting. In addition, YY Channel will hold a red song meeting on July 1, welcome everyone to come. For the specific situation, let's look at the individual chapters of the public chapter
