Yun Haoyu quietly watched the envoy chattering about the sincerity of the family masters, the necessity of turning enemies into friends between the two sides, and the bright prospects for various cooperation between the two sides after the armistice and alliance, and a faint mockery floated in his dark eyes.

This time, the attitude of the heads of the family is indeed much more humble, and the various compensation given is also generous, but it is unknown how much sincerity this so-called sincerity can have!

What's more, even if the other party is really sincere, it doesn't matter to him anymore, what he wants now is the entire Shuofeng Empire!

The envoy finally finished his tirade, and waited anxiously for His Majesty's reply.

Zhong Mingrui, who was on the side, spoke: "Mr. Special Envoy, do you think that it is still necessary for the current empire to form an alliance with the family?" Is it really so good for the empire to cooperate with you? How likely is the bright prospect you are depicting to be realized? Everyone understands people, so you don't have to fool people with these flashy things, right? ”

The other party's tone was suffocated, and he said a little unnaturally: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, the foreign minister has indeed come with sincerity, and with the strength that the empire is showing now, he is already qualified to form an equal alliance with the family!" It is not at all in our long-term interests to be an enemy of the Empire! ”

"Really?" The Prime Minister of the Empire smiled and said, "But this so-called alliance with the family is also not in the long-term interests of the Empire!" You're doomed to fail in your mission! ”

The envoy's face turned pale for a moment, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, although the empire does have awe-inspiring strength, the strength of our family can still be compared with the empire, and it will not benefit anyone to continue to fight!" Why should your country stay the course? ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Envoy!" Zhong Mingrui sighed, "This is the established strategy of the empire, and it is a plan that has been personally approved by His Majesty the Emperor!" So, it doesn't make sense for you to say this! ”

"Of course, since you are here, it is not good for you to return empty-handed, and we have agreed to your request to redeem some important prisoners, but this ransom must be doubled, you can do it yourself!"

Ignoring his ugly face, Yun Haoyu added: "The empire's army has been assembled, and it will soon launch an attack on the Shuofeng Empire!" So, you'd better move quickly and try to get out of the country before the war starts, or the Empire won't be able to guarantee your safety! ”

The "......" envoy's face turned pale, and he was invited out by the palace guards in despair.

Yun Haoyu watched the poor envoy leave with a smile, and said to the courtiers on the left and right, "The Imperial Legions are ready, right?" ”

Tian Xuanhao immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, the army has already been assembled, and the morale of all the officers and soldiers is strong, as long as an order is given, you can launch an attack and expand the territory for the empire again!" ”

"That's good!" Yun Haoyu nodded with satisfaction, "Hold another court meeting in the afternoon, and make a final decision on various unresolved issues!" We're running out of time, so we have to hurry! ”――

More than twenty days had passed from the time the heads of the family made their decisions to the time when the envoys set off and rushed to the borders of the Empire.

During this time, the upper echelons of the Starlight Empire were not idle, and after a short rest, the Imperial Legion quickly completed the deployment of various military operations against the Shuofeng Empire.

At the Imperial Military Council, the Empire's top brass gathered to finalize the overall plan to conquer the Shuofeng Empire.

Since the target is a superpower, it is entirely possible that the Empire's legions will face a series of bitter battles! The pressure will be greater than ever, and no amount of careful preparation will seem superfluous! These days, the center of gravity of the entire imperial state apparatus is on this big thing!

War is all about money and resources, and when the war ends, all kinds of material consumption will become a nightmare for the empire's finances! The so-called "as soon as the cannon sounds, the source crystal is ten thousand taels"! This situation is very vividly illustrated.

On the huge three-dimensional projection star map, there is a complete territory map of the entire Shuofeng Empire, covering the two major galaxies of Tianhua and Yunmeng, with a total of 997 star fields and more than 100,000 light years. At first glance, the two galaxies together look a bit like a clenched fist, full of rugged and flamboyant power!

The newly born Starlight Empire is at the wrist at the bottom of this fist. Adjacent to the Yunmeng Galaxy, the central part of the fist is where the imperial capital is located, as the richest and most core area of the Tianhua galaxy, the name of the imperial capital star field is also called Tianhua, including the imperial palace, the star system where the imperial administrative center is located is the same name!

Feng Lanxi noted a few marks in the area adjacent to the Starlight Empire, and then explained to the ministers present: "According to the efforts of our intelligence department, it has been proven that the current Shuofeng Empire still has more than 7.5 million fleets with intact combat strength, hundreds of mobile interstellar fortresses, not including those local garrison fleets, nearly half of which are distributed in the Yunmeng Galaxy next to the Starlight Empire, and there are more than two million fleets stationed on the border line alone!" ”

"This number is not too large relative to our military strength, but with the background of this superpower, as long as the Queen Mother orders a general mobilization and the whole country enters the wartime system, the number of troops we face can be doubled in a few months! And more and more as time goes on! ”

The depth of being a superpower is far beyond the reach of ordinary regimes. For the Starlight Empire, more than seven million fleets may not be nothing, but the empire's unimaginably large industrial system is what her enemies fear the most!

The Shuofeng Empire was able to survive to the end in the last Borosto War, thanks to the Empire's industrial system! In more than a year, tens of millions of warships of various types, more than 200 mobile constellation interstellar fortresses, and countless war materials of all kinds have been produced in the empire! So that the imperial regime stubbornly survived!

The war has ended, the situation in southern Xinjiang has risen again, and then there will be a fierce battle that will last for several months! In two years' time, the Empire's industrial system has borne the enormous consumption required for two wars of nationhood! But it has still not been dragged down, which shows its strength!

Now, with the newly born regime of the Starlight Empire as her opponent, the pressure can be imagined!

Of course, they don't have to be presumptuous, after a series of changes in the top echelons of the empire, the political situation is turbulent, the morale of the officers and men of the fleet is low, and there are many hole cards, this battle is not as difficult as imagined!

Feng Lanxi's opinion is to take two steps, first concentrate your forces, take down the Yunmeng Galaxy next to the Starlight Empire as quickly as possible, and then plot the entire empire!

This galaxy was taken over by the ancestors of the empire from a foreign civilization nearly 2,000 years ago, and after so many years of operation, it is now extremely developed and prosperous!

The entire galaxy includes 463 star fields of various sizes, and more than 3,500 administrative planets at all levels! With a population of more than 600 billion, nearly sixty percent of the rare mineral resources of the entire empire, and more than forty percent of the heavy industry manufacturing base are located in this galaxy!

The industrial system here is technologically advanced and complete, which can produce almost all types and models of military equipment in the empire, and the empire's largest strategic energy reserve base is also located here! There are more than 20 star fields among them, and almost all of the planets inside are planets containing high-quality energy spar veins! Even the reserves of finished products that have been mined and smelted are astronomical!

As long as this galaxy can be successfully grabbed in the shortest possible time, then the Starlight Empire's plan will be more than half successful, and the next capture of the Tianhua Galaxy will be a matter of course!

Due to the outstanding performance of the Clone Organization and the Empire's intelligence services, Zhu Zhaoyuan had anticipated the ambitions of the Starlight Empire, but he never expected them to act so quickly. In her opinion, this newly born empire has just experienced a big war, and it will have to recuperate for a year and a half before it will have the strength to continue to come out and make trouble!

Therefore, although she mobilized a lot of troops to station on the border of the empire, she underestimated the determination and strength of this empire, and there were six great families to contain her for herself, so there was no need to worry too much about it!

At this time, the heads of the family saw some clues, but for various considerations, they also remained silent and did not warn the woman.

In their opinion, since they had suffered heavy losses, which made Zhu Zhaoyuan's attitude in the court much tougher, it was also a good idea to think of some ways to let her also suffer a little loss at the hands of that young majesty, and restore the balance of strength between the two sides to the previous state!

After all, this empire is still nominally your mother's, so we can't shed blood and contribute there, fight for life and death, and you are watching the play happily on the side, right?

"The most important task of our legion at the moment is to grab as many star fields as possible before they really react!" Feng Lanxi finally said, "This time will not be too long, if the other party quickly mobilizes fleets from all over the empire to meet the battle, or even announces the mobilization of the whole country, then the pressure on us will skyrocket in the next few months!" If we haven't made enough progress! ”

Gurlons said: "I think that as long as we solve the imperial garrison fleet on the border as soon as possible, the next conquest will not be smooth sailing, and it will not be far behind!" Of course, some important passes may be a little more troublesome, but as long as they work well, it is entirely possible to convince some commanders to surrender without a fight! ”

"As long as there are no problems with logistics and intelligence support, our legion will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!"

Bernard smiled: "In terms of logistics, Your Excellency Marshal doesn't need to worry!" Counting the loot from some time ago, our existing material reserves can fully guarantee the needs of the Imperial Army for two years of high-intensity operations, and the industrial system within the Empire has been operating at full capacity, and there will never be a problem! ”

With the empire's existing industrial base, coupled with the lack of human and financial resources, it can fully support the combat consumption of these millions of fleets. What's more, after the defeat of the Saga Alliance, all the logistics material transit bases located in the rear of the wormhole fell into the hands of the Empire, which was the military material reserve of the six million fleet for more than half a year! Now it's all laughed at by the Empire!
