At the beginning of the human history era in 2919, with the release of a large number of prisoners of war by both sides and the restrained actions of both armies, the world of the Perseus Spiral Arm finally returned to peace. (Read the whole text on the Shilu K Literature Network)

In this peacetime, the Perseus Interstellar Federation smoothly 'handed over' power, and Song Tingrong, a Chinese citizen and former chairman of the Senate Oversight Committee, officially replaced Richard in May? Milhouse, as President of the Seventy-second Union

At the age of 53, Song Tingrong is the 38th Chinese president in the history of the Federation. But it was not the large number of ordinary Chinese who supported him to win the election, and even the majority of the Chinese middle class did not like him. On the contrary, the main people who helped him to enter the presidential palace were the small number of Chinese 'elite' elites, as well as many powerful military and industrial and commercial enterprises.

But no matter which class he represents as president, Soong has not been able to change the policies left by Milhouse in the short term.

The Bundeswehr suffered a major blow in the second Battle of the Yi Star Field at the end of last year and has not yet recovered. However, the Imperial Army, which was basically sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight in this battle, did not suffer any losses, so the power of the Federation Starfleet suddenly fell from a dominant position to a backward state. And the interstellar planet "Yi" also fell into the hands of the Imperial Army and was firmly grasped by it.

In addition, the Federal Security Council has found out that the new Roman Empire is already adopting a new systematic 'sex' exploration program for the "easy" planet. Therefore, Song Tingrong and his ruling team came to a consensus that the top priority was to recapture the interstellar planet "Yi".

Dai Yunong, who has served as chairman of the Federal Security Council for the fourth consecutive term, reports to the new president and his new cabinet members on the newly obtained information from the imperial side.

"According to the report of Lieutenant Colonel Robb, who returned home, he was seriously injured and sent to a place full of life after the destruction of the Hercules and its crash on the surface of the planet 'Yi'. And our intelligence officers learned about three scientists on the Imperial side, Ulf? Bernstein, Chen Weiyin and Mia? Frobel, in his report to the Senate, said that there was a miraculous and habitable world with a large number of life in the 'strange matter' layer of the planet 'Yi', and they also believed that this world was unlikely to have formed naturally. ”

"At Bernstein's suggestion, a new exploration program has been launched on the part of the Empire. From the intelligence analysis obtained by the unmanned reconnaissance ship we sent to the 'Yi' star field, they have adopted a new way of detecting the interstellar planet 'Yi'. Instead of landing directly on the planet's surface, a series of moons have been deployed, seemingly ready to control the mysterious forces of the 'easy' planet to communicate. ”

"In the opinion of their scientists, the entire 'Yi' planet is controlled by a highly intelligent and powerful being. Judging from the series of blows that our army has suffered on the planet 'Yi' in the past, this speculation makes sense. As a result, the Imperial side has shifted its strategy towards the 'easy' planet, and the Senate no longer regards their actions on the 'easy' planet as a scientific expedition, but has risen to the level of strategic and external 'exchange'. ”

Dai Yunong's last words attracted the new Minister of Defense Leonardo? Admiral Higgins' scoff. In a very contemptuous tone, he asked rhetorically: "Rise to the level of strategy and foreign 'diplomacy'?" Could it be that they want to establish a foreign 'friendship' relationship with the monsters of the 'Yi' star, form an alliance, and deal with us in turn? ”

"This possibility of 'sex' cannot be ruled out." Dai Yunong said solemnly, "After the second Battle of the 'Yi' Star Field, I have already ordered my Strategic Intelligence Bureau to form a team codenamed 'Qi Long' to study the various behaviors displayed by the 'Yi' planet and the psychology and thinking that may exist behind it. Recent research has shown that the behavior of the 'easy' planet in the past is entirely characteristic of a civilized society. ”

"Can Dai Gong be more detailed?" President Song Tingrong asked.

Dai Yunong nodded, and continued in an old tone: "When we humans, although we scientists from the New Roman Empire, discovered and landed on the planet 'Yi' for the first time, it did not react in any way. But as we fought the Imperial Army, the planet began to react completely unexpectedly. It left our expedition team and the Wehrmacht Thirteenth Fleet missing. Later battles have proven that the XIII fleet was captured and completely reduced to its tools. ”

"As you should know, our first expedition team planned to use metal hydrogen bombs to carry out a large-scale blast on the surface of the planet after landing, with the intention of breaking through that layer of 'strange matter'. Qi Long's team believed that this act was a serious threat to Planet Yi, so they took action and captured the expedition and the 13th Fleet, which served as a guard. ”

"After the second 'Yi' star field battle, the behavioral psychology of the interstellar planet 'Yi' became more obvious and prominent. After our second expedition team landed, we encountered the planet's creatures. Unfortunately, our military likes to fire first, triggering a siege by the 'easy' creatures, which in turn leads to starships directly bombarding the planet's surface. These dangerous maneuvers eventually provoked the frenzied revenge of Planet Yi, which used the captured Thirteenth Fleet to lure the main force of our fleet into its 'firing' range, and then calmly destroyed our fleet. ”

"And when the Imperial Cruiser and the Fifth Fleet rushed back to the vicinity of the planet, the Imperial Commander cunningly 'tricked' our Fifth Fleet into firing at the 'Yi' planet, and successfully carried out the poisonous plan of 'killing people with a knife'. From the above behavioral analysis, the 'easy' planet itself has a powerful ability to defend its own security. When this ability is cast is apparently controlled by a system similar to our human mind. At the time of its discovery, humanity had barely shown any level of threat, and Planet Yi had not reacted in any way. But as we went deeper, the threat became more and more apparent, and it was finally forced to fight back. ”

"The 'Chilon' team speculated that the forces that dominated the 'Yi' planet did not want to be detected by humans at first, and chose not to react in any way. But as our actions become very dangerous, it recognizes that we are deliberately threatening it, and for its own safety, it chooses to fight back. Perhaps it is on the basis of the same understanding that the Imperial side sees the 'easy' planet as a politically minded civilization, and elevates its policy towards it to the level of strategy and foreign 'exchange'. ”

Dai Yunong stopped and looked around at everyone's expressions.

The old 'treacherous' slippery Song Tingrong was calm and calm, but Higgins looked disdainful, Finance Minister Byrne? Chapman sat upright......

She continued: "A wandering planet with a peculiar biosphere is perhaps only of great significance to scientists. However, once this planet has a scientific and technological level beyond the current level of human beings, and there is the possibility of being used by human beings, then, in addition to scientific significance, I am afraid we have to admit that it also has great political and military significance. ”

"Dai Gong is right." Song Tingrong nodded appreciatively, "Once the New Roman Empire successfully establishes communication with the forces that dominate the 'Yi' planet and reaches a cooperation agreement, then our Federation will definitely fall into a passive situation. Only now can we do our best to break the Empire's deployment and recapture the interstellar planet 'Yi' in order to ensure the prosperity and stability of the Federation. ”

But there was an immediate objection from the staff, and the Minister of the Treasury, Byrne? Chapman plucked up his courage and said, "Your Excellency, the current financial situation is already quite grim due to the high deficits of the previous administration, coupled with the failure of last year. If there is a war similar to the scale of the first 'Yi' Star Field Battle with the outbreak of the Imperial Army, it will be overwhelmed. ”

"If we don't act quickly to prevent the new Roman Empire from establishing communication with the 'easy' planet, and when they succeed in using the 'easy' planetary technology, then we will completely lose our competitive advantage." Dai Yunong reminded.

In her eyes, the interstellar planet "Yi" has shown great strategic significance in the confrontation between the Federation and the Empire. This originally somewhat inconspicuous and dark surface wandering 'wave' planet has a truly "invulnerable" "magical substance", a strange underground biosphere, and powerful creatures that can 'shoot' high-energy particle beams. If all this can be used by the Federation or the Empire, it will definitely be able to occupy a favorable technological advantage in the competition. And this advantage will inevitably form an overwhelming 'sexual' force on the other side.

"Ideally, we can regain control of the Yi field. At worst, it will also disrupt the Empire's exploration of the 'easy' planet. Dai Yunong put forward his own ideas.

"I think that by using three or four fleets to raid the Imperial fleet guarding the 'Yi' star field, we will definitely achieve our goal." Admiral Higgins looked confident.

"Admiral, if you use three or four fleets to attack more than fifteen hundred light-years, are you sure enough to stay hidden?" Dai Yunong's tone was full of suspicion.

At this time, Song Tingrong waved his hand and said, "It seems that this is the only effective way that can be taken at present." ”

"But, Your Excellency......"

Song Tingrong interrupted Chapman and said, "This battle is inevitable. Then he turned to the Secretary of Defense, Admiral Higgins, and asked, "Does the general have a specific plan?" ”

Higgins replied, "At present, it is the Napoleonic squadron of the Imperial Army's Central Fleet that is guarding the 'Yi' star field, and they replaced the 'Charlemagne' squadron in March. However, they were more powerful, so they thought that they would send two fleets directly to the 'Yi' star field to put pressure on the 'Napoleon' fleet with superior forces. This forced the Central Fleet to 'draw' more troops from Iseron to support. We'll send two more fleets to attack the planet of Iserlon, causing a feint that will keep them head-to-tail. Our main direction of attack is in the 'Yi' star field, and after the Central Fleet returns to defense, we immediately devote the remaining forces to seize the 'Yi' star field. ”

This plan is obviously a copy of the "Argo Expedition". Dai Yunong immediately smiled disdainfully.

Higgins added: "I will present the specific steps of action to your attention with the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the next two days. ”

"Okay, that's the initial decision." Song Tingrong let out a long breath after speaking.

He had already made up his mind to use World War I to honor himself as president.
