Catherine walked up and down her room, and when General Kirk entered, she jerked around, and found that it was the General's tense shoulders that had slackened.

"What, it's Kirk. Enterprise is back? ”

"No, but I just received news from them, and now they are on their way to New Zhengzhou."

"That's right." Catherine nodded, and casually smashed the ceramic intelligent robot that happened to pass by her feet.

"You seem to be particularly concerned about the ship." General Kirk asked suspiciously, "Could it be that ship is the key to the future?" ”

"That ship will become a legend."

"They're already legends." Kirk said.

"No, they're good at best, not even legendary." Catherine said as she adjusted the necklace around her neck.

Kirk stared at Catherine's necklace and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Should you become an old woman with wrinkled skin as soon as you take off that necklace?" ”

"There's no such magic necklace." Catherine pursed her lips and continued the conversation from earlier, "If the Enterprise is destroyed now, the future will change entirely. ”

"But isn't the future script all written and can't be changed?"

"yes, so it's impossible for the Enterprise to sink, I'm not worried, well, not worried."

Kirk looked at the girl, was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "I always think that the way you care about that boat is reminiscent of a girl who is worried about her boyfriend." ”

"Stupid stupid stupid! I'm a real girl! I've never had that experience at all! What nonsense are you talking about! ”

Kirk had a look of understanding everything.

"Why do you look like you understand everything?"

"The commander of the Enterprise is indeed a very good young talent, and he can manage those three sects and nine streams on the Enterprise so well, which is enough to see that his ability is strong."

"Why do you suddenly start praising that old-old man!"

Kirk shrugged. Calmly changed the subject: "We just got the news that the Ne'vi and the Pengrui are gathering fleets. Just like you predicted. ”

"Hmm." The girl took a deep breath and finally put on her usual cold face. "After that, they will take advantage of the galactic civil strife to attack them."

"That is, there will be an incident that will affect the entire Galactic Council in the near future, preventing the Council from interfering with their acts of aggression?"

The Galactic Council prohibits all-out confrontation between races other than arbitration wars, so the main fleets of all races in the galaxy are prepared for arbitration wars, and capital ships are basically not capable of carrying out long-term cruiser hunting pirate missions like cruisers - these tasks are handled by the cruiser fleet. If capital ships, dreadnoughts to be precise, are massively concentrated, it basically means that the war of arbitration is about to begin.

If at this time there is no arbitration war about to begin, then these fleets can only be preparing for aggression.

Unlike the human civil war, which also considers "what to do after the war", after the war of aggression begins, the invading fleet will generally directly attack the important colonies of the invaded race, and after defeating the garrison, it will start burning glass balls. Eradicate the colony, its inhabitants, and production capacity, and permanently weaken the fighting power of the invaded race.

There are two countermeasures against the aggressor, one is to carry out a decisive battle with the main force to drive out the enemy, and the other is the so-called "change of home", that is, to invade the aggressor's homeland in turn and also burn glass balls.

A full-scale war of aggression can be much more brutal than a human civil war, and the defenses of both sides will be dispersed to important colonies, so the attacker will have a temporary advantage, and the attacked galaxy will be defeated by the defender later. The system's production facilities and civilians will also suffer heavy casualties.

Therefore, a full-scale war between the two races, which are evenly matched, will either be decisive at the initial stage and the victory will be decided in the first battle, or the core colonies of both races will be destroyed at the initial stage. Production capacity will be drastically reduced, and then the remaining fleets of both sides will enter a phase of strategic stalemate similar to that of the human civil war.

However, this is the situation between the two races that are evenly matched, and if the difference in strength between the two races reaches the point where one race can maintain the strength of the attack while leaving enough defense power to deal with the entire fleet of the other race. Then the war will become a one-sided crush.

The Big Ten are powerful, and they are against most races outside of the ten. All have this level of disparity in strength - except for Hyperion.

It stands to reason that human beings are worthy of the Na'vi. In the face of the disadvantage of the Pengrui people, it will not be so great as a qualitative change, but when the two races of Pengrui and Neville come together, the human beings who have just suffered a great loss of vitality will not be able to bear it.

"At least we can comfort ourselves that our core colonies have been devastated, and the rest of our production capacity has been broken up and scattered across many galaxies." After a brief pause, Kirk said to the girl who knew the future, and after a brief pause, he changed his tone of anticipation and asked, "Humanity won't go extinct, will it?" ”

"Of course not, human beings are the key to most of the 'plots' in the future, in other words, how can the protagonist of this script be destroyed by the role of a mere passerby." Catherine had completely regained her usual expression, and the aura that Kirk had felt in her had returned.

Kirk continued to ask tentatively, "Is the key to dealing with aggression the Enterprise?" ”

"The Enterprise has more important things to do, so humanity can only fight a singing and weeping Great Patriotic War, but aren't you also planning to unite the people who support the Empire by creating an external threat? Doesn't that just play into your hands? ”

Catherine said as she put on her flat glasses and pushed them against the bridge of her nose.

Her smile was so vague that Kirk, a veteran, couldn't see through it, as if the shy girl had never existed.

"Don't worry, according to my prediction, although the Galactic Council can't take out a hand to help the human race openly, there will be no less help in secret, as long as you are careful not to be eaten by the invaders at once, there should be no difficulty in dealing with it."

Catherine's comfort did not slack General Kirk's tense expression, he seemed to be thinking about something, and Catherine suddenly shouted loudly, "I'm going to change my clothes!" It's not good for you to stand here, General? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving." The general nodded to Catherine, turned and left the room.

Catherine didn't change her clothes, but turned her head to look at the three-dimensional galactic power map in the room.

"There are so many missing middle parts, and I only know the big results," she whispered, "and I hope history is as indestructible as it was in the past." ”

The average person probably can't associate "history" with "indestructible", but for Catherine, there is nothing wrong with this usage.

While Catherine muttered to herself, she picked up the Enterprise model placed next to the power map projector, her mouth simulating the sound of the Enterprise engine, and the projection of the model through the Milky Way stars with her hand.

New Zhengzhou.

Lin Youde stared at the planet in the hologram, thinking that at least it didn't look too damaged on the surface.

"At least it doesn't look too big a problem on the surface," Xia Yongzhi said in the harem channel, "Although the orbital elevator and the orbital station are hiccuped, it is possible that the attackers think that such a rural colony only needs to destroy the elevator and the space station." ”

Hu Tao reported at the moment when Xia Yongzhi's voice just fell: "Received ground communication, using the encryption method of the original United Nations Space Force. ”

It seems that the value of the colony is so low that neither side is interested in bringing it under their names, so no one tells them about their new encryption method.

"Reply to them, we are the former United Nations Cosmodrome Starcruiser Enterprise, and now on behalf of the Resistance military administration, we have come to take over the administration of the colony." Lin Youde skillfully memorized the official words, and Hu Tao also skillfully repeated them, and at the same time, these words were also sent to the ground.

Soon the colonial authorities sent a request for audio-visual communication.

When the picture appeared on the main screen of the enterprise bridge, Xia Yongzhi exclaimed: "Mom? ”

Lin Youde also opened his mouth half-open, staring at his mother-in-law who was dressed up on the screen and exuded the aura of "I am the boss".

"Zhi'er!" My mother-in-law smiled, "I'm worried about death!" It's good that you're okay! It's good to be virtuous. Now our family can be reunited. ”

The person who looked like a secretary reminded him of something, and the mother-in-law put away her smile and began to say social rhetoric in an official tone, and only after going through the process did she smile again.

"Come to the ground and let's entertain you!"

"Mom, the remnants of the empire have not been cleared yet, and fighting may break out at any time, so we must be on guard on the track...... If you want to see us, get on the orbit and we can teleport ......"

"What are you talking about?" My mother-in-law asked in surprise, "You ...... Didn't they come to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant? ”

Everyone on the bridge looked at each other.

Enleko asked, "Uh, Auntie—big sister, you mean, the thing that sealed the Ten Commandments?" ”

"Oh, of course it's a code name, and the fire of Prometheus isn't the divine fire of Mount Olympus."

Everyone on the bridge was in a state of blindfolding, and Lin Youde tried to ask: "Could it be that the Ark of the Covenant is a super-civilized relic?" ”

"No, it's a research project, related to supercivilization, the institute is in New Zhengzhou, do you really think that as the second daughter of the Belle family, there is Catherine? Am I here incognito to farm the land of Belle's resounding name? ”

Lily exclaimed in the harem channel: "Ekaterina? My aunt? Didn't that die in an accident? ”

"Of course the accident is fake. I was going to tell you, Zhi'er, but your father didn't let me say it, thinking that would ruin the relationship that you and the Lin family kid grew up naturally. Of course, there is also the factor of fear that you will reveal my real name to the other squires in New Zhengzhou when you are young. But now that you have grown up to be a reliable adult, let me tell you all the origins, my dear daughter. ”
