Chapter 3: War of attrition
At the beginning, he complained very much about Tang Tong and took away the capital area that originally belonged to him, but then he thought that if he took over the capital area directly, he would definitely be destroyed by Tang Hu as soon as possible, not to mention revenge on Tang Hu and the like.
And Tang Tong did this, no one would interfere at all, and he could also quietly develop his forces.
From this point, Lan Mengyun saw the gap between herself and Tang Tong, although she now used those mining areas to have a group of troops, but she didn't dare to think that she could fight with Tang Tong now, let alone fight with Tang Hu.
Lan Mengyun, who understood this, calmed down, she didn't believe that Tang Tong would give up this good opportunity, so she would better hide in the shadows and continue to develop her power.
She is no longer the simple programmer girl she used to be, and she has realized that Tang Tong is not just because of her own request, she must have an ulterior purpose, so now Lan Mengyun is guarding against Tang Tong, the benefactor, more than Tang Hu, the big enemy.
Although the battle between the Silver Eagle Empire and the Orca Empire is very good, and Darrens, a rebel, suddenly came out and seized the Silver Eagle Empire, it makes those who watch it feel that this scene is really interesting, the plot is changeable, and the result is so unpredictable.
But there are some people who don't want to watch the next battle, because after a fight here, the chaos galaxy hasn't started yet!
What is most annoying is that these two forces used to have friction, but now they don't even have friction and have nothing to do with each other, how can this work? Do you want to suffocate yourself to death who are expecting results?
A person with a heart who has a huge interest in the Chaos Free Galaxy finally couldn't bear to be a stupid spectator here, and decided to send a representative to be the director, and went to the two largest hostile forces in the Chaos Free Galaxy, urging them to start a war as soon as possible.
Chen Kang couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Tang Long again, the last time he sent those huge number of warships, he hadn't seen Tang Long so happy, why did he seem a little crazy with joy now? Is it because I saw my relationship? Is your relationship with him so good?
"Haha, Chen Kang, tell you, I now have several more vassal countries. I really didn't expect that under the strong pressure of the two countries of my Datang and Kaiwu Kingdom, if I didn't fight, those small countries in the entire chaotic galaxy would send them to the door to beg me to annex them, which is really cost-effective. ”
Tang Long slammed Chen Kang's shoulder proudly and laughed.
"Congratulations."
Of course, Chen Kang thought that Tang Long might not have launched an attack on the Kaiwu Kingdom because he had absorbed these vassal states, so he was not surprised.
"Haha, there's nothing to congratulate on this, you know, those vassal countries don't have any good intentions, and they dare to make crooked requests for me!
"You don't know, they are like birds, as if they are taking refuge in me to give me face, and I don't want to think about it, what does Lao Tzu want to do with the subject country?
"Which piece of the territory under my Datang command is not directly under it? If you don't annex them immediately, it's because the time is not enough, and when the time comes, I don't think they'll be lame! Tang Long pulled Chen Kang and chattered.
Chen Kang was stunned when he heard this, and he immediately understood that the heads of those vassal countries in Tang Long's mouth were all members of the organization, otherwise they would not be so arrogant.
In the past, they thought that Tang Long was a person in the organization, but after the news of the competition for the position of director spread throughout the organization, all the people in the organization knew that the agents of the competitors had no good results, because dozens of agents of the failed competitors had perished in front of them, so it was natural that the people in the organization did not give Tang Long a good face at all.
Chen Kang was not prepared to persuade Tang Long or the heads of those vassal countries, because in Chen Kang's opinion, no matter how Tang Long made trouble, even if he really put the entire chaos star system into one, after the victory of the general manager, Tang Long and the Great Tang Kingdom were already doomed.
In that case, why bother?
Thinking of this, Chen Kang, who originally wanted to induce Tang Long to attack Kai Wuguo, suddenly changed his mind, Tang Long is a human spirit, it is impossible for him to be fooled by deliberately inducing, or it is more effective to come directly.
Chen Kang, who had made a decision, said a few words to Tang Longhara, and then left under the pretext that the company was busy.
Chen Kang walked to the street, did not leave in a car immediately, but walked into the phone booth and made a call: "It's me, send me a thousand robots with bombs with me, let them scatter in the territory of the Tang Dynasty to blow themselves up, and design them to shout long live Kaiwu before they blow themselves up." After that, he hung up.
"Hehe, in this way, even if you Tang Long is unwilling to go to war, your people will ask you to go to war, I see what you do."
Chen Yanle whistled, stopped a taxi and left. He didn't expect that his every move was being watched.
"Hmph, this guy Chen Kang is getting more and more vicious, and he actually used this trick to let me start a war with Kaiwu Kingdom! Damn, it's so vague, I don't know where those thousand robots came out of and where they exploded, and they can't prevent it if they want to, what a bastard! ”
Tang Long, who got the secret agent's report, walked back and forth in the room with an ugly face.
"Lord, we have strengthened the surveillance of Chen Kang, and we should be able to find some clues." A spy spoke up.
"Well, it's better than nothing, order the police everywhere to step up patrols, and let the local political axes make plans for the aftermath according to the worst-case scenario."
Tang Long waved his hand helplessly and let his subordinates retreat, he didn't have great hopes for eliminating Chen Kang's conspiracy.
Sure enough, as Tang Long thought, when the secret agents and police searched around, there were 1,000 incidents of terrorists blowing themselves up and attacking civilians in the territory of Datang, and without exception, before the terrorists blew themselves up, they all shouted Long live Kaiwuguo.
This immediately made the people of Datang, who already thought that they were the subjects of the number one country in the chaotic galaxy, and who already despised Kaiwu Country because of the last planet explosion, were furious, from the ninety-year-old man to the three-year-old child, all of them shouted excitedly that they wanted Datang to send troops to destroy Kaiwu Kingdom.
Tang Long also understood that if he didn't attack at this time, he and the political axe would disappoint his people, and the intelligence from Kaiwu Guo showed that Kaiwu Guo was also attacked by terrorists, but there were not so many of them, and that bit announced retaliation as soon as possible.
Since the other party couldn't help it, and the army had already prepared, Tang Long no longer dragged on, and immediately issued an attack order through the news.
Finally ushered in the decisive battle, and the people of the entire chaotic galaxy became excited, and they didn't know how the information leaked out, anyway, the TV stations of the entire chaotic galaxy received the information on the strength of the warring parties.
Originally, Datang's TV station did not dare to broadcast these data, because they were afraid that it would leak their country's military intelligence, but Tang Long not only unexpectedly agreed to broadcast it, but also sent some confidential data held by the Ministry of Intelligence to the TV station.
With the support of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the TV station of the Tang Dynasty immediately gave full play to the surname of the news person, dispatched everywhere, cooperated with the intention of the political axe, and began to broadcast the war in an all-round way.
These data, which were heavily exposed by Datang Media, are a hundred times more detailed than the information inexplicably received by various TV stations in the Chaos Galaxy.
Of course, these data cannot be more detailed than the internal version of the army, but these data are enough for the entire universe to know the comparison of the forces of the two sides, the surnames of the warships of the two sides, and the life and positions of the main generals of the two sides.
The people of the whole universe have obviously never seen this kind of battle in which the data of the two warring sides are almost exposed to the eyes of the world, and everyone can't help but discuss with interest the comparison of the winning and losing chips of the two sides, and when the human inferior root surname appears, the beginning of the gambling game is inevitable.
First it was a bet by a few people, and then a gamble of geometric expansion of planets, galaxies, countries, and asterism.
By the time hundreds of big consortia jointly signed the banker with the cosmic bank as a guarantee to accept the bets of the whole universe, the people involved in gambling were already all over the universe.
After Tang Long learned about this gamble that spread throughout the universe, he immediately asked the Ministry of Intelligence, the Information Administration, and the Ministry of Culture to work together to spread the good aspects of Datang through the news about Datang's social state, cultural characteristics, economic conditions, etc.
Before the war, most of the people in the universe already knew about the existence of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Long's trick made Datang have many more businessmen out of thin air, increasing a lot of profits and taxes. This was something Tang Long didn't expect, he resorted to propaganda just to increase his popularity and make it easier for him to dominate the universe in the future.
Judging from the information released by the gambling game, Kaiwuguo was not optimistic because of the last planet explosion incident, and the odds given by the dealer were one to ten, while the odds given by the dealer were ten to one due to the existence of the Silver Armor Fortress in Datang.
But because of this, the person who presses Kaiwu Guosheng will get several times the profit, so some adventurous guys have put their money on Kaiwu Guo, and some gamblers who are powerful and gamble for a living are even ready to secretly help Kaiwu Guo win.
As for Chen Kang's organization, he obviously didn't expect that it was just a competition for selection within the organization, and it would actually cause a sensation in the whole universe.
In order to prevent the organization from becoming two hostile camps because of the gambling game, the head of the organization issued a strict order: except for the two competitors and their subordinates, the rest of the people were not allowed to participate in the battle, nor were they allowed to participate in the gambling game.
Seeing that odds, Chen Kang and the general manager's faction were so anxious that their heads smoked, such odds were enough for various forces to attack Datang, in this way, wouldn't it be a defeat? But they can't think of any way to solve it, do they want to use the way of spending a lot of money to buy Kaiwu Guo's win to level the odds? Isn't this shooting yourself in the foot, embarrassing yourself and yourself?
However, their apprehensions quickly disappeared, and after a news broadcast new material, the odds slowly became 1-1 for both sides.
This new data is that Kaiwu Kingdom has 3 million X-Battleships, and Datang has 200,000 Moby Dick Battleships and 1 million X-Battleships.
In addition, the warships of the vassal countries of the two sides combined, more than six million high-level warships, but these things that can only be regarded as low-level warships compared to X-battleships are not counted.
On the bright side, although Datang has 2 million fewer X-battles than Kaiwu Kingdom, 200,000 Beluga battleships and a silver-armored fortress are believed to be able to compete with 2 million X-battleships, and the two sides are back to the starting point. In this way, many thrill-seeking gamblers lose interest.
Although Chen Kang's faction breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts were still high, they didn't expect that the opponent would assist the agent not one million but three million X-battleships.
While Chen Kang and the others scolded their rivals, they could only stabilize their mood and watch the next battle, at this time, they couldn't do anything, they could only see which of the two agents played better on the spot.
Tang Long, who was on a whim, didn't know what the reason was, actually directly ordered to take the funds from the treasury to bet on his own victory, and his practice immediately caused the people of Datang to follow suit, and the strong Datang capital directly smashed the odds to one hundred to one, that is to say, those who bought Datang won only lost one yuan after betting one hundred yuan, and those who bought Kaiwu Guosheng lost one yuan for one hundred.
Tang Long's move was very powerful, and he easily tied the entire people of the Tang Dynasty to the chariot, because many people threw their old books into it.
This change made Chen Kanghe's blood pressure rise immediately, and he almost exploded his cerebral blood vessels, so he hung up.
However, their blood pressure quickly stabilized, because the bit of Kaiwu Kingdom couldn't get used to Tang Long's morale-boosting move, and he found that the morale of the people under his command dropped greatly after learning the news of Datang, so he had to follow Tang Long's example, and put the money in the treasury, and at the same time forcibly ordered the nobles to put their net worth in.
Although this move boosted the morale of the lower-class soldiers, it also offended the entire aristocratic class.
These people were originally considered to have lost the war, and they could be rich men, but now that they have lost the war, they will become poor people, can they not be resentful?
Of course, the war is linked to their own interests, and these nobles have also changed their previous procrastination and laziness to become concentrated and pragmatic. And the odds of the game have changed to 1 to 1 again.
At the beginning, both sides sent a large number of troops to the front to test the reality, Tang Long sent 500,000 all-cyborg X battleships, while Bit sent out all the warships of the subject countries, nearly two million high-level warships, maybe he didn't want the troops of these vassal countries to disrupt his own position, after all, those high-level warships were too weak.
However, the forwards of both sides did not complete their tasks, because the forwards of both sides were facing each other across the Burning Sun Star Domain.
The surname of the 500,000 X-battleships on Tang Long's side is more powerful than the high-level battleships over there, but the number is too disparity, and this Burning Sun Star Domain is very unstable, just firing a few shots will cause turmoil in the Star Field, plus there is only a narrow passage that erupts from time to time, which will burn the passing fleet to ashes at any time, so the Great Tang Army did not stupidly pounce into the Burning Sun Star Domain, but just stood guard at the door.
And the fleet composed of those Kaiwu vassal countries will not run in to send them to death, but they still firmly block the exit, because if they don't hold this exit, the enemy army can easily break into the mainland, which is the same for both sides, so everyone can only stay on both sides and waste time.
Seeing that the forward was useless, the follow-up middle army and rear army coincidentally chose a star field where both sides could invest all their forces and start a battle in formation.
Tang Long, who stayed in the Silver Armor Fortress, looked at the group of battleships that could not be seen on the screen, scratched his head in distress, and sighed: "Damn, it seems that this war will turn into a war of attrition, it's really fucking unlucky, isn't there any other way to avoid such a war of attrition?" You know, after such a war of attrition, there won't be much left! ”
The little black cat who came after him yawned, glanced at Tang Long, who was pacing back and forth, and said, "Big brother, you won't drive this Silver Armor Fortress to the Burning Sun Star Domain to ambush?" You know, the Silver Armor Fortress has been strengthened, and its shell is strong enough to withstand the outer heat energy emitted by the star, which will definitely allow you to travel freely in the Sun Star Domain. ”
"What?! It's so powerful!? ”
Tang Long's eyes immediately lit up. No wonder Tang Long was so excited, as long as he could pass through the Burning Sun Star Domain and destroy the high-level warships guarding the door, two million enemy troops, it would be no problem at all, and when the time came, the rear of the Kaiwu Kingdom would be at his own disposal.
"Of course, if you don't believe it, just drive over and try it." The little black cat pouted.
"Hehe, of course I believe it, don't believe who do you believe?"
Tang Long said this with a grin, turned around and ordered, "Order all the school officials to come to the meeting." ”
There are few generals in the Tang Army, so the school officers are the command class of the Tang Army.
Tang Long here has found a solution, and Bit over there is still distressed.
His distress was the same as Tang Long's, he didn't want so many warships to be consumed in a war, but there was nothing he could do.
The way in which the large army fights face-to-face is a war of attrition, and it is entirely dependent on whose warship has a good surname, who has the most troops, and what other command capabilities and combat methods are all secondary in such a huge battle.
However, Bit didn't particularly care about this, because in any case, his own troops were nearly two million more X battleships than Datang, and if he couldn't win the Silver Armor Fortress with so many troops, he should buy a piece of tofu and die headlong.
Thinking of this, Bit's whole person relaxed, no matter how much it consumes, as long as he wins, he will be the upper figure of the universe, and then this chaos-free galaxy is not worth looking at at at all.
"Needless to say, do as I say, if you don't believe me, you should also believe in the advancement of our Datang technology!" Tang Long said impatiently.
Hearing this, the school officials who dissuaded Tang Long from taking the risk hurriedly pleaded guilty, they were not willing to bear the charge of not believing in the lord.
"Big brother, I won't go this time, I'll stay to help you design the virus, and when I find the loophole of the Kaiwu Army, my virus can control them immediately, and then the big brother will have a large number of warships out of thin air." The little black cat said suddenly.
Hearing this, of course, Tang Long immediately nodded in agreement.
Originally, the little black cat still wanted to use its ability to build tens of thousands of warships, but this number was of no value compared to millions of troops, and the little black cat would be seriously ill because of this, so Tang Long rejected the little black cat's proposal.
As for using the virus to infect enemy ships, it was an action that the two sides began to implement before the war, but the current defense technology is relatively advanced, and they are all operated off the network, even if Tang Long has an excellent network master like Little Black Cat, it also takes a certain amount of luck to release the virus to the enemy.
Under Tang Long's insistence, Tang Long took the Silver Armor Fortress and came to the Burning Sun Star Domain alone, blocking the passage of the Tang Army, seeing the Silver Armor Fortress, of course he knew who was coming, and without saying a word, he immediately made way of a passage. But when they saw that the Silver Armor Fortress was actually about to enter the Burning Sun Star Domain, they were so frightened that they hurriedly wanted to follow, but they were stopped by Tang Long.
"Brother, is my program poisoned? Just now, I actually saw that the Silver Armor Fortress drove into the Sun Star Domain alone. ”
A soldier on a Datang battleship turned his head and said secretly to his comrades beside him.
Because Chen Kang assisted 700,000 troops and supporting robot troops, plus the original robot soldiers, three-quarters of the soldiers in the Tang Army were robots.
Among so many robots calculated in hundreds of millions, it is natural that there are inevitably a large number of intelligent robots, and these two soldiers are part of the intelligent robots.
"There should be no problem, our lord likes to charge into battle, and the lord personally drove the silver armor fortress into the enemy army, according to the records, there are not a hundred times but ninety times, it is not worth making a fuss." Another soldier said.
"Ah, how admirable our lord is, he actually went into battle in person, if it were people from other places, he would have sent us cannon fodder to death a long time ago." The soldier from before said with reverence on his face.
"Yes, Datang is really strange, think about it, who will put artificial skins on us robots, formulate household registrations, compile files, and have salaries and benefits." Another soldier sighed.
"Hehe, I'm excited when it comes to salary, when I first heard the introduction of the chiefs, I still didn't believe it, and when the food arrived, I went to the bank to swipe the card and looked, wow, there was really a sum of money coming in."
The soldier from before suddenly looked intoxicated and said with a smile: "And when I left the bank and came back, I happened to hit a miniature super-capacity hard disk for robots on the street, so I took out the money and bought it, and now my storage capacity is several times that of yours." Ah, it's so cool to be rich! ”
"Hehe, do you think I'm so stupid too? This eye of mine is a special electronic eye, and the clarity and resolution are many times higher than yours. Another soldier said triumphantly.
"Damn, what's the big deal about this, I can change it when the next time the food comes out!" The soldier said angrily.
"By the way, we are still privates, and the salary is not high, I heard that the salary of non-commissioned officers is several times that of us, and when we have made meritorious contributions, wouldn't we buy whatever we want?"
"Hehe, when I have money, I'm going to get a taste receptor to install it, I've wanted to taste the food for a long time."
Since Datang's regular robots all have a salary, in order to legally circulate the money, Datang's Ministry of Commerce has specially developed many products suitable for robots.
Don't underestimate these goods that are only useful for robots, in the enterprises under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce, this part of the money is the best to earn.
In the past, there were no robot goods, and there were many robots that did not pay a penny until their death, because robots had no concept of money at all, and there was everything in the barracks, and they didn't need to use money at all. Now there are a large number of robot goods, and it becomes that the robot will spend it as soon as he has a salary, unless some goods are too expensive and the robot salary is not enough, so that he will save money.
It can be said that the consumption of robots alone has fed countless people, and it has also played a great role in the development of Datang's economy.
"Hey, want to put that thing in? Wait until you become a lieutenant, don't hang up before you fulfill your wishes. ”
"Hmph, if you hang up, you will hang up, with such a lord, it is worth it for me to sell my program to the lord!"
"Yes, we were originally the lord's personal belongings, and we didn't complain about what we did, but the lord treated us as real soldiers, how could this make us not hand over the procedure to the lord, with such a lord, I think my life is worth it!"
"Don't talk about this, I think all wise people are willing to die for the Lord, now do our own work first, and then it is very likely that we will support the Lord."
The conversation between these two intelligent robots is said using a robot-specific conversation program, so other intelligent robots can hear it, and they agree with these contents.
Tang Long didn't know that his concept of equality had given him a large number of troops who would never betray, were loyal, and had superior ability.
At the beginning, Tang Long was still a little cautious about the driving route of the Silver Armor Fortress, and after seeing that the Silver Armor Fortress was attacked by several flames, there was nothing at all, so he couldn't help but be relieved and bold, and ordered the Silver Armor Fortress to speed up and move forward.
Of course, Tang Long will not forget to let the computer record the data of this star field and pass it to the Tang Army guarding the door outside, after all, with these first-hand data, the Tang Army can also pass through this star field slowly and safely.
King Bit on the other side originally wanted to wait for the Tang Dynasty to attack first, but after waiting for a long time, the Tang Army did not move at all, and he was impatient to wait, so he immediately ordered the whole army to assault.
In an instant, the three million X-battleships of Kaiwu Kingdom, with their engines fully turned on, formed a concave shape, and densely rushed towards the Tang Army.
The Tang Army did not let the nearly four million warships of the vassal countries line up in the first position, but let them hide in the rear and fire as a cover attack.
Seeing that the enemy army was dispatched, the 200,000 Moby Dick battleships, which were the main force in the first line, immediately spit out several orbital satellites, and then took the satellites and rushed towards the enemy without fear.
The hundreds of thousands of high-level transport ships and thousands of mecha carriers that were clustered by 500,000 or 600,000 X-Battleships in the middle of the formation also poured out the objects in their bodies in the first time, and nearly 100 million armed satellites and millions of Shadow mechas, like swarms, densely rushed towards the enemy formation.
The high-level transport ships that completed the transportation mission immediately turned around and sailed to the rear, and the four million high-level warships that received the order immediately entered the middle formation to take over the escort mission of the X-Battleships.
As for the 500,000 or 600,000 X-Battleships, they are advancing closely behind the swarm, and the fighters of the X-Battleships have not yet reached the time to be released, and this kind of fighter can only play its role if they enter the enemy warship group.
The Kaiwu Army, who originally thought that they would be able to beat the Tang Army dizzy with the first blow, was surprised to find that from the screen, the front troops seemed to have hit the wall, and the originally irregular forward troops actually became neat.
The attack of the Tang Army, like an invisible wall, wiped out all the Kaiwu warships that were in the limelight.
"Did you find the Silver Armor Fortress?"
Bit, who was asking his subordinates about the location of the sworn enemy, suddenly noticed this strange phenomenon on the screen, and couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Damn! How so? Didn't those Beluga battleships in Datang be stopped by us? How could those more than 500,000 X-Battleships be able to block our first round of attacks?! ”
"Your Majesty, according to our computer records, there are hundreds of millions of small mobile satellites there, and there is a position formed there, and what is displayed on the screen is the situation of our army's attack on this position." The adjutant said hurriedly.
"Hundreds of millions? Damn it! Datang is really generous, I worked hard to get a million pieces! ”
After muttering a sentence, Bit ordered: "Order, let the fleet of the subject country attack this position, don't waste our forces on this, give me the Moby Dick battleship and the X-battleship to concentrate on attacking the Tang Dynasty!" ”
"Your Majesty, the troops of the subject countries are guarding the passage of the Burning Sun Star Domain, if they are all transferred to the front line, I am afraid that the 500,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty will take the opportunity to pass through and reach the belly of our army."
The adjutant reminded. Now is a critical juncture for his own interests, and the adjutant, who usually does not work very hard, has begun to use his strength to eat.
"Well, that's right, I ordered them to leave 100,000 troops, transfer 1 million satellites to guard them, and transfer the rest of the troops to the front line for me!"
Bit doesn't think that his million satellites can be compared with Datang's hundreds of millions of satellites, since they can't be used on the front line, then send them to guard the channel, there are 100,000 troops plus a million satellites, which is enough to hold the channel.
"Yes, the minister will go and give the order."
The adjutant also thinks that this is very good, although the high-level warships of those subject countries, although they are not able to be used for frontal attacks, but they are the best to use to attack satellite positions, which can be regarded as waste utilization.
(To be continued)
