Chapter 964: Energy Crisis
Another problem is that this big guy loses too much energy, the first-level main artillery and propulsion system uses a special high-concentration energy spare, which must be produced by special refining and processing equipment, and the purity of the spar ore is extremely high, and the difference of one percentage point in ten-thousandths of a percentage point is not good. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Out of long-term opinion, the Miliam only sent a batch of energy crystals when they handed over this doomsday fortress, and then refused to supply any more, but only sold a few sets of large-scale smelting and processing equipment to the emperor at a sky-high price, which means that the empire will find its own means to get energy.
For this reason, the logistics department of the strategic command had to urgently check all the energy spar mineral deposits across the country, and after several difficulties, finally screened out a batch of ore veins that met the requirements, and then immediately commando weavers to mine them by hand.
It's a pity that this thing is too difficult to process, and the scrap rate is surprisingly high, according to experts' estimates, the current one-day output is not enough for the loss of the Doomsday Fortress first-level main battle cannon firing once, and when the energy reserves are used up, this big guy will become a toothless tiger and have no big use.
Moreover, in order to ensure control of the Doomsday Fortress, the Miliam only gave Ulionov V the control of the second rank, which meant that many of the important functional modules of the fortress were not open to him, and the emperor could use less than half of the functions.
In other words, the true power of this thing is currently only slightly stronger than the asteroid of the Kilizakos, but it is far from its true limit.
Therefore, Ulyanov V had the meaning of temporarily ceasing the war and chatting privately with the Daomang Empire.
At this time, the alliance side, which is just around the corner, is also thinking about its own future.
The Tongyun Universe Region, the temporary residence of the Alliance's army.
"Your Majesty, have you really decided to do this?"
In the star-fortress of the "Qianhui", Tebeisa asked embarrassedly and uneasily:
"The army of the Daomang Empire has already assembled on the border line, but with their strength, there is no way to stop that deadly big guy, if we take refuge in the past now, it can only be said that we can live for a few more days."
Innocent VIII smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, what can I do?" Is there a second option for us besides this empire? ”。
"The fierce combat power of the Daomang Empire is far superior to ours after all, and even if they can fight against the Yanwei race, maybe they really have the means, and maybe Ulyonov V estimates that it may not be so easy to become the master of the entire human world."
"However, it depends on whether His Majesty Ye Qingyuan is willing to accept us and even if it passes, our status is ...... It won't be too high," Tebesha sighed.
"Your Excellency the Consuls, the matter has come to this, and we don't have much bargaining capital left," the Pope said slowly, shaking his head,
"The only thing we can do at the moment is to find a way out for the people on our side and find a place to live, otherwise in the face of the wolf-like army of the Gnaslok Empire, we are afraid that even survival will be a problem, how can we take care of many others?"
Tai Beisha gritted her teeth, and said in her heart, if she had known earlier that the situation would have developed to this point, it would have been better to directly seek to merge into the Daomang Empire, and the benefits that the two high-level leaders could fight for at that time would naturally be much more.
But at present, after the death of the country, it is no longer possible for them to win any more problematic status in the Daomang Empire, and the best and most problematic result is to temporarily reveal all power from now on, and be an idle person with peace of mind.
At the moment, the two former supreme leaders deliberated for several hours, and decided to jointly send a special envoy to the border of the Daomang Empire to meet with the supreme commander of the local garrison, asking the other side to allow the remnants of the alliance to enter the territory of the empire for refuge, and at the same time willing to discuss the matter of submission with the imperial high-level.
In the fortress of "Heavenly Punishment".
Ye Qingyuan sat on the top, and after quietly listening to the statement of the alliance's envoy Slossen, he slowly opened his mouth to inquire and asked:
"I understand your request for this to be incorporated into the Empire, but why would the Empire risk provoking the Gnaslock Empire to accept you?"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the wolf ambition of the Gnaslok Empire, everyone knows that after the fall of the Alliance, it will definitely continue to attack the Sword Empire, I believe you will not be unaware of the truth of the death of the Dao Lips and Teeth" Slossen said respectfully and resolutely.
"Although there are less than five hundred universe regions left in the alliance, there are still millions of elite fleets, as long as Your Majesty is willing to agree to our conditions, the command of these legions can be transferred to the Empire, I hope Your Majesty can send troops as soon as possible to contain the offensive of the Gnaslok Empire."
Tian Xuanhao on the side said disappreciatively: "Millions of elite fleets? It seems that the empire is not short of this amount of troops at present, so let me wait to help you block such a big superfluous idle matter, such a little benefit is not enough"
Ye Qingyuan coughed lightly and said unhappily: "Tian Qing......"
"Your Majesty, it's the minister who lost his words," Tian Xuanhao hurriedly bowed down and apologized.
The Emperor glared at him, then smiled at Slossen again:
"General Tian is a martial artist, it is inevitable that his words are a little excessive, I hope the envoy will not mind However, the matter of sending troops is too important, there is not enough reason, it is difficult for me to convince the court and you know, now that the empire's war in the southwest Xinghai has not ended, the battle on two fronts is too great."
Slossen watched helplessly at the "double reed" performance of the monarch and the minister, knowing that if there was no big bleeding this time, His Majesty the Emperor would never let go of this mouth.
Originally, I understood that the exchanges between countries, the so-called friendship, peace, benevolence, righteousness, morality and the like, but some high-sounding slogans, forget it, only interests are the eternal theme, no matter whether the two empires will eventually go to war or not, but it is estimated that the alliance will have a way out at the top of the alliance, and at this moment it is necessary to turn to the emperor.
"His Majesty's foreign ministers have brought a joint letter from His Majesty the Pope and His Excellency the Supreme Consul, and I believe there will be an explanation that satisfies you if there are doubts about the imperial government and the opposition," Slossen said with a little helplessness.
A palace guard came over, took the letter in his hand, and carefully examined it before forwarding it to Ye Qingyuan.
He opened it and skimmed through it, not immediately commenting, but lost in thought.
The reaction of the alliance side has long been expected by the monarchs and ministers of the empire, and in the current human world, there will soon be only two regimes left, and the alliance has no other choice except for the Daomang Empire.
However, as far as the empire is concerned, it is not really beneficial to accept this group of "old and young" from the alliance, on the contrary, it may be a cause for instability, and it may be a cause for instability, bringing some small and unnecessary idle things to the imperial authorities, and in the end, the upper elites of their country will not approve too much of everything in the empire.
Therefore, some radical generals have suggested that they should not care about the lives of these guys, and simply let the Gneslock Empire destroy them, and then send troops to war with Ulionov V, so as to avoid the hidden dangers that may arise in the future and affect the political stability of the empire.
Pope Innocent VIII had already foreseen this possibility, and because of this he was extremely humble in his letter, expressing his willingness to surrender all the wealth of the treasury of the two great powers to the empire in exchange for the status of a legitimate citizen of the empire.
There was a long list of supplies attached to the back of the letter, both in terms of quality and quantity, it was really extremely surprising, but as far as the current Emperor was concerned, he was not at all a treasure trove of the ghost race, and he really did not look down on them, even if it had wealth that was difficult for others to estimate.
Of course, whether you agree or not, sooner or later, there will be a showdown between the Gnasrock Empire and the Daomang Empire, and since the battle for reunification has reached this point, there is no reason for both sides to reveal it for the time being
"Although your suggestion does not help the empire much, however, the Gnaslock Empire colludes with the alien race in a vain attempt to hand over the fate of the entire human race to the alien race, and such behavior will never be accepted by the whole empire," after pondering for a long time, Ye Qingyuan finally said:
"You have been fighting off the invasion of the alien race for the past few years, and you have never thought that compromise and surrender may be something that I admire as well, so I have decided to think about your suggestion again, and then let your Pope come and talk to me about Lord Slossen, and you can go back now."
After sending the envoy away, the smile on Ye Qingyuan's face disappeared.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you feel that the current war is against the Gnasrock Empire? What can be done to maximize the benefits for me? He asked in a deep voice
Luo Qiyue said cautiously: "The concubine thinks that it is better to follow the previous plan and let the alliance and them spend a while longer, and wait until all the five hundred universe regions have fallen before we can send troops."
As she spoke, she sent a few documents to Ye Qingyuan's eyes and explained, "This is important information that my people and others sent back from there at great risk, including some important information about that Doomsday Fortress."
He was slightly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly took it and flipped through it, his face slowly changed.
"You all have a look" He asked the female official to transfer the document to Tian Xuanhao, and then more than a dozen high-grade generals looked at it one by one.
The content of the document is quite consistent with the analysis of the Wise Regiment in advance, and there are really some problems, and then the state of their fleet, and it is not as pre-estimated that if the Daomang Empire sends troops after half a month, even if it defeats the Doomsday Fortress, it can reduce the loss of the empire to an acceptable level.
"I finally know why Ulyonov V didn't expect to send a message before, and it vaguely bloomed to mean that he wanted to talk," Ye Qingyuan said with a smile,
Tian Xuanhao said: "Your Majesty, even if the negotiation is feasible, but before that, we must fight with them first before the two sides can sit down and talk with peace of mind."
The generals thought about it for a while, and they all knew what he meant.
From the standpoint of the human race, the human world really should not continue to have internal friction, at least before picking up those alien civilizations, there should be no large-scale internal friction.
Therefore, based on this opinion, Ulyonov V had the will to secretly join forces with the Daomang Empire and calculate the alien race, but the Gnasrock Empire was the fierce fighting party after all, at least they thought so, so it was completely predictable to make some excessive demands in the negotiations.
In order to prevent this from happening, the Daomang Empire must prove in a corresponding way that its fierce combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the other side, and that it is fully qualified to sit on an equal footing with them, so as to ensure that the negotiations can proceed smoothly, as well as the fairness of the secret treaties concluded until later.
Only when we can fight can we speak and make peace is a truth that has been proven by countless examples for thousands of years.
...
The negotiations between the top level of the alliance and the empire, in the deliberate delay of His Majesty the Emperor, did not really come to an end until more than a week later, and at this time, the army of the Gnasrock Empire was already approaching the border of the Daomang Empire.
On August 27, the Alliance's remaining fleet of more than 5 million, more than 300 Anomalous Legions, and tens of millions of elites from high society all evacuated to the territory of the Empire.
Ye Qingyuan finally relented, mainly thinking that most of these elites were worth a lot of money, and after they joined the empire's nationality, they would inevitably take out their huge assets for investment, and objectively the empire's economic development was beneficial and the vast majority of the wealth in the alliance treasury belonged to the empire, and it was not good to break their promises and enrich themselves.
After an intense reorganization and reception procedure, two days later, a Praetorian Fleet of the Daomang Empire encountered the patrol fleet of the Gnasrock Empire while carrying out a patrol mission on the border line, and the two sides disagreed and fought violently.
After a short and fierce firefight, more than 300 warships of all kinds on the other side were all destroyed, and the Daomang Empire lost 7 and a half hundred warships of all kinds. Books & When the news spread, a general from the Gnaslok Empire was not convinced, and immediately sent two additional fleets to chase after him, wanting to find a place to recover.
As a result, the Daomang Empire was not to be outdone, and the three Praetorian Guard fleets attacked, and the two sides fought fiercely and increased their troops several times, almost winning or failing each other.
Immediately after that, the matter became bigger and bigger, and finally alarmed the top of the imperial regiment, Tian Xuanhao personally commanded the main Praetorian Guard Legion to attack, with his extremely powerful precision strike tactics, in just a few hours, almost disabled the two legions on the other side, and two legions suffered too much loss and had to withdraw from the fierce battle.
As a result, the two sides really tore their faces and began to deploy their troops, holding back their strength to prepare for a big battle.
"I heard that the guy on the other side is called Tian Xuanhao?"
In the interstellar fortress of the "Ice Rock", Admiral Yegor, commander of the Eastern Attack Group of the Empire, asked the adjutant beside him while gulping down the spirits
"Yes, Your Excellency," the adjutant replied after saluting,
"That general is young and promising, he is the number one general under Ye Qingyuan, and he is currently holding an important position as the minister of the Daomang Imperial Department."
"Young and promising?" The admiral snorted coldly and said disdainfully:
"It's just a young man who hasn't grown any hair, and he really thinks he has a lot of ability? Let's see why I taught him to fight well."
"Your Excellency General, as the so-called 'no vain man under fame', since the other side can have today's prestige and status, it is estimated that we must still have some real skills, it is better to be cautious," the adjutant euphemistically advised.
