Chapter 19: The Divine Comedy II
After the fall of the capital planet, which symbolizes the new American government, the spiritual symbols of the remnants of the remnants of the other planets of the New American also collapsed, and with the non-stop play of the Divine Comedy "Mourning" by the troops of the Cherechong Alliance, the resistance forces of each planet either announced their surrender or laid down their arms and no longer confronted the alliance forces. There are also some planets that have not been affected by the Divine Comedy and are still resisting. But these were only a small part, and they soon disappeared under the pressure of the Alliance's army.
What makes people laugh and cry is that among the coalition troops who took up "Mourning" as a weapon, there are also some people who have heard these tunes and apply to the army to return home. Compared to the New American Army, this is only a small part of the Union Army. But it was this small part that shocked the top brass of the alliance military. As the song spreads further, more and more people apply for discharge, and if it weren't for Omir's timely announcement that the war is over, I am afraid that this number will rise even further.
In other countries, people are amazed by the power of the song "Mourning" and begin to reflect on how they should face this "weapon" if the enemy uses this "weapon" in war.
As a result, various countries began to select some troops and broadcast "Mourning" to them for experiments. The results were far from satisfactory: one in five of the soldiers of the main fleet of countries with frequent wars was affected by the song, and less than one-tenth of the soldiers of the fleets of countries that were not at war often or had never been at war. In other words, the relationship between experiencing war and being influenced by the song is directly proportional, and it has been found that the more people who have killed, the more they are affected.
After discussion, research, and experimentation, the song "Mourning" immediately became a must-play song for conscription in various countries. Recruits must listen to the song at the time of their medical examination to see if they will be affected. The veterans who have been in the army for many years will listen to the songs continuously after receiving some psychological counseling and hints, so as to achieve the effect of honing their will.
In this way, when the high-level leaders of various countries were distressed, Zhao Xiyue's name once again spread throughout the entire Southern Universe.
……
Among the members of the Sherrechong Alliance, after experiencing the massacre on Yemusse, especially after learning that it was the revenge of the forces behind the New America, they have strengthened the defenses of each planet, and always maintained monitoring and communication on the planets to prevent another massacre. In order to allow the attacked planet to transmit intelligence back in the shortest possible time, countries that have not installed the Tianxun network will immediately apply to the Tianxun Group to install the Tianxun network to every planet and the main military bases in the shortest possible time at all costs; And some economically developed countries have even installed Tianxun networks in some outposts.
At the same time, with the exception of a part of about one-third of their military strength left in the occupied New America, the rest of the fleet withdrew to their respective countries to prevent a sneak attack from the Dragon Slayer Society.
The fact that the massacre on Yemusey was caused by the dragon slaying was only told to all members of the Coalition by Omir after the New American capital was completely occupied. And before that, they had no idea that behind the old power of New America, there was such a powerful force. But now, even if they want to regret it, it is too late, and with the bodies of the president and other high-ranking officials of the new American government found in a secret room deep underground, it is already possible to declare the new American Federation disappear from this universe.
After the end of the war, the kings and generals of these member states who knew the details spent their days in unrest, fearing that the next revenge of the Dragon Slayer would appear in their own countries. And because of this, they had to unite to prevent the attack of the Dragon Slayer Society. The Alliance, which was supposed to be dissolved after the fall of New America, continued to exist in a peculiar way.
Omir, on the other hand, continued to serve as the leader of the Alliance, responsible for overseeing the internal affairs of the Alliance and coordinating the conflicts between the members of the Alliance.
At the end of May 4258 in the cosmic calendar, the army that had just returned from the Battle of New America and returned to the kingdom of Mayach embarked on the journey again after resting for half a month.
This time, they are targeting the neighbouring Alta region.
Omir's banner is to clear the pirates, and he is completely aware of this cancer in the rear of the Alliance. And the targets of the war declared by Maiah actually included five of the six countries of Arta. In other words, in addition to the Kingdom of Hail, which has been divided among the countries of the Alliance, the Kingdom of Saiod, the Kingdom of East Alta, the Kingdom of South Alta, the Kingdom of West Alta, and the Kingdom of Yongtai will all be the targets that Mayah's army will conquer.
Whether it was the other members of the alliance, the Chutang Empire, or the countries of the Southwest Universe region, they were all very clear about the purpose of the Maiah Kingdom.
After the complete demise of New America, in the entire eastern region of the Southern Universe, in addition to the Chu-Tang Empire and the Cologne Business Alliance in the hinterland of the Chu-Tang Empire, there are only the Xie Lei Chong Alliance and the Alta region left. If the kingdom of Mayah continues to expand, it will only be able to target the chaotic Arta region.
The three-way army, which set out from the eastern and southern parts of the kingdom of Mayah, attacked the three kingdoms of Yongtai, Siarta and Saiod. Among these three countries, only Yongtai has a more unified power, while the other two countries are rampant with pirates, and the so-called country does not have a complete government, and is completely controlled by warlords or pirates. In front of Meyach's powerful fleet, these usually fierce pirates were no match for Meyach's main fleet, and they were about to collapse at the slightest touch. Mayah's army was advancing rapidly at the speed of tens of planets and nearly a hundred planets a day.
The other countries around it looked greedy, but they did not dare to send a fleet. On the one hand, it is because these countries are busy transporting goods and people from the occupied New American Regional Planet back to their own countries. After all, the planets that belong to them in the occupied area are one in the east and one in the west, and they are not connected together, although they are surrounded by planets occupied by other alliance members, but who knows one day once the alliance is dissolved, these planets will be difficult to control, it is better to bring useful materials, equipment and talents back to the country as soon as possible. On the other hand, their army will also be stationed in the country to guard against the mysterious organization Dragon Slayer Society, which does not know when it will appear, and where will the forces come from to attack. And they have been dealing with pirates all year round, and they are very aware of the strength of pirates. If you send a large fleet, it is nothing, but if you send insufficient troops, you will not be able to defeat the fierce pirate fleet. Therefore, they could only watch as Mai Yah's army planted one planet after another with Mai Yah's national flag.
Southern part of the Alta region, Kunlun Star.
In recent years, while the kingdom of Mayah has developed rapidly, the Blackbeard Pirate Group has not been idle. In addition to being responsible for training the practical abilities of interns who graduated from Tadun Academy, they are also constantly expanding their power. The occupied planets have added more than ten planets on the basis of the original three planets of Shushan Star, Kunlun Star and Penglai Star. However, most of these planets are very backward and can generate limited profits. However, due to the vigorous development of Kunlun Star in the blue sky, it has become a very prosperous economic planet in the southeast universe region, driven by Kunlun Star, the surrounding more than ten planets belonging to the Blackbeard Pirate Group have also begun to develop rapidly, although it still seems a little backward, but it is already much better than other planets in the Alta region.
Due to the development of the economy, the Kunlun Star Spaceport has been expanding, and now its scale is close to the level of the capital planet of the Chutang Empire's star domain, with more than 3,000 berths of various types, but it is still unable to meet the growing demand. The fleet of the Blackbeard Pirate Regiment has long since not chosen to replenish at the Kunlun Star Spaceport, and has been transferred to Penglai Star, but outside the Shushan Star Spaceport, the ships are still full, and sometimes they have to wait for ten or twenty hours in order to wait for an idle berth.
The spaceport is crowded with locals, workers, merchants, tourists, retired pirates, adventurers, etc. But despite the crowds, it was extremely quiet in an area to the north of the spaceport. Tourists passing by will always look at this side curiously, and when they want to get close to this side, they will be shouted by several big men standing guard. If the curious person wants to go around from the side, but as soon as he enters the area, he will find that countless automatic beam guns hidden in various corners have been ejected and aimed at him accurately.
Locals know that this is the headquarters of the mysterious pirate group that brought them a better life.
At this time, in the conference room of the Blackbeard Pirate Group, Xiahou Undefeated and other high-ranking members of the Pirate Group were sitting in danger, quietly listening to Hong Tie, the leader of the Pirate Group on the first seat.
“…… On June 2, the 2nd and 3rd fleets of Maiyach entered the Kingdom of Saiod through the former Kingdom of Hail, and engaged in a fierce battle with the 40,000 troops of the Royal Family of Saiod on the border. In this battle, Sail lost 23,000 warships, and the army was completely scattered...... On 3 June, the 4th and 5th fleets of Maiyah encountered 48,000 warships of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th main fleets of Yongtai, as well as local defense forces...... On 5 June, the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Fleets of Maijah attacked West Alta...... The above is the battle situation during this time. ”
Xiahou smiled disdainfully: "Mai Yahe's strength is nothing more than that. Just now, when the regiment commander introduced the battle situation, I counted that a total of 70,000 warships were dispatched from seven fleets on the Meyah side. Their enemies dispatched eleven main fleets, plus local fleets and recruited pirates, for a total of 150,000 warships, about twice the number of Mayach. We've been dealing with the pirates of Arta for so many years, and we know what level this rabble is. There are only 150,000 warships, and not all of them are Weilong warships, almost all of them are ordinary or above, all of them are old and broken ships of various types. As for Maiyah, they are all elite Wumu-class warships, with such a strong strength, the loss is more than 10,000 ships, and the combat effectiveness of the Maiyah Kingdom fleet is really disappointing to me. ”
Hong Tie smiled: "Although Mai Yahe uses the powerful Wumu-class warships, you also know that their ship operators and soldiers are only recruited in the past two or three years, and the training level is very low, plus most of the fleet has never participated in actual combat, I believe that Omir is still very satisfied with such a loss." ”
After everyone discussed the strength of Mai Yahe's fleet for a while, and then Xiahou Undefeated explained the three battles, someone asked: "Commander, is this time to call us here to discuss these three battles?" ”
"Of course not."
Hong Tie's expression began to become serious: "According to my inference, in five months at most, the Kingdom of Mayah will be able to occupy the entire Arta region, and it may not take such a long time. According to the information transmitted back from various regions these days, the vast majority of pirate groups are desperate for the arrival of the army, and the leaders of these pirate groups have begun to think about their own future paths, and a small number of pirate groups have directly disbanded, either returning to their hometowns to retire and do business, or choosing to smuggle to other countries; The other part intends to surrender directly to the kingdom of Mayah, and perhaps they can become the regular army of Mayah like the Third Fleet that surrendered to Yongtai; And the vast majority of the rest are still waiting and seeing. ”
Speaking of this, Hong Tie's gaze swept over everyone: "This is the purpose of summoning everyone here this time. From the day before yesterday to now, thirteen pirate groups have approached me, hoping to merge into our Blackbeard Pirate Band. ”
Xiahou was undefeated and said in surprise: "What? There are still pirate groups asking to be incorporated into us? Don't they know that we Blackbeard Pirates never accept other pirates? ”
Indeed, although the Blackbeard Pirate Regiment is nominally a pirate group, the origin of its members is relatively simple. Except for some of the veterans recruited by Hong Tie from the Chu Tang Empire at the beginning of its establishment, almost all of the rest were students who graduated from Tadun Academy, and they never accepted pirates from other channels except for members who were particularly talented and did not have too many pirate vices. It was not without pirate regiments that they surrendered to them, but the end result was that the surrendered ships were brought to the Mayach shipyard for recuperation, and the surrendered pirates were sent to the newly occupied planet to do hard labor. Since then, most of the pirate groups that have been defeated in battles with Blackbeard have chosen to disband or flee far away, and no pirate group has surrendered to them except as a last resort.
Hong Tie sighed: "Even so, the strength of the pirate group that I hope to merge into us this time is very good." And most of them are still our 'old friends'. ”
When he said the words "old friend", Hong Tie accentuated his tone.
Xiahou was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It can't be a Baroque pirate group, right?" ”
Hong Tie laughed and said: "It's not just the Baroque guy, but also Drake, Koterina, Eric, Shi Xiu, ......"
"Drink, they're all our old friends." When they heard the names, they all laughed.
Indeed, these are all famous warlords and pirate groups in the vicinity of the Blackbeard Pirates in West and South Alta, and they are very powerful, and they have all had large-scale battles with the Blackbeard Pirates, and even had brief alliances to blockade the Blackbeard Pirates. However, under Xiahou's undefeated excellent command and everyone's hard work, they finally broke up, and never dared to clash with the Blackbeard Pirate Regiment again, even if they sometimes met in space, they would quickly hide far away.
They were already scared by Hong Tie.
Hearing these names, Xiahou Undefeated gradually became a little serious: "These pirate groups are all overlords of one side and one side, and if they want to merge with us this time, it seems that they are not willing to be wiped out by Mai Yahe's army." ”
Hong Tie nodded and said, "That's right. They all know that our Blackbeard Pirate Regiment has a great relationship with the Kingdom of Maiyah, and even if Maiyach destroys all the pirate groups, they will not touch us, so they choose to merge with us. Now, what we need to discuss is, should we accept their request for merger? ”
There was silence in the conference room.
None of you here are fools, but those who have risen through successive battles over the years. Some of them were former Chu Tang officers, some were surrendered from other pirate groups, and a few young people were outstanding cadets who graduated from Tadun Academy, and they were also promoted to leaders by Hong Tie in an eclectic manner.
Everyone knew very well that the leaders of these pirate groups were very ambitious, but they were not willing to die out, so they chose to merge into the Blackbeard Pirate Group. Let's not talk about whether they will take the opportunity to seize power, snatch the Blackbeard Pirate Group or occupy the economically developed Kunlun Star. After dealing with pirates over the years, everyone knows what kind of people these pirates are, and some of them may have joined the pirate group out of necessity, but most of them have long been integrated into the group of pirates, killing people, raping, robbing and so on.
It was precisely because of this that he did not accept the surrender of the pirates before, and Hong Tie was most worried that those pirates with bad habits would infect the rest of the pirate group with their bad habits. And the Blackbeard Pirate Regiment, under the strict management of Hong Tie, came completely according to the standards of the main fleet of Chu and Tang. They are more like a regular army that is strict with itself than a gang of pirates.
After a little thought, Xiahou was undefeated and said, "I don't agree. As we have considered before, these pirates will inevitably bring their set with them when they join us. Perhaps those veterans were able to hold on to their beliefs and not be eroded by them. But you must know that more than half of the personnel in our fleet are students who graduated from the Tower Shield Academy, and a large number of cadets come to the fleet for internships every year, and these children are still young, if they are not determined enough, they will inevitably be affected. ”
Hong Tie said: "That's exactly what I'm worried about. But you have to know that their merger brought not only millions of pirates, but also more than 100,000 warships and more than 200 planets. And these planets are all bordered by our sphere of influence. ”
"That's the case......" Xiahou was undefeated and suddenly realized, and then he understood why Hong Tie hesitated. If there were some of these planets and warships, the strength of the Blackbeard Pirates would be several times greater. And in the near future, the entire Arta region, with the exception of them, will become Mayah's sphere of influence. Without pirates, they would have lost the meaning of their existence. After all, the Blackbeard Pirates were formed to train talent for the Tadun Academy. Without fighting, there would be no point in their existence.
Xiahou Undefeated thought for a while, and looked at Hong Tiedao: "I suggest, it's better to accept them all." With the advance speed of Mayach's fleet, it will take at most half a year to occupy the entire Arta. Then it will be time for us to return to Berwick. So, instead of thinking from the point of view of the Pirate Corps, we should look at it from the point of view of Berwick. What Berwick lacks most now is skilled ship-handling personnel and veterans. In this case, we will not only have to agree to the request of the thirteen pirate groups to merge, but also launch an attack on the other pirate groups around us, gathering as many warships and personnel as possible. When the time comes, the men and ships can be sent to Berwick as our gifts, and what they want to do with them is none of our business. As for the planet, it can be sold to the Kingdom of Mayach. I believe that with Omir's wisdom, he will definitely give a reasonable price. ”
As soon as he said this, the crowd immediately understood what he meant.
Hong Tie groaned slightly, and then smiled: "Brother Xiahou still understands it." Okay, so let's decide, what other problems do the others have. ”
Everyone shook their heads, and Hong Tie nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then do it." Let's get some rest today, and tomorrow morning, I'll take half of them to accept their request for integration. The remaining half of the people, led by Brother Xiahou, went around the other pirate groups. Remember our purpose this time, disband! ”
