Jiang Ziyue didn't immediately understand the value of Captain Lewaldett's suggestion, because the planet "Arthurgard" is located in the outer space of the Perseus Spiral Arm Empire, looking down above the Milky Way, she is just about 2,500 light-years away from the side of the "New Byzantine" planet to the outer end of the Perseus spiral arm, and nearly 4,000 light-years further on, it is the "Taiji" planet close to the border space of the 135th line of the Galactic Coordinate System, and the distance between the three planets is a little far, and the Immortal Interstellar Bundeswehr "Robb" The main targets of the task force were probably the Senate and the Roman people's capital "New Byzantium", and rushing to "Arthurgard" would not be effective in defending the imperial capital.

So, puzzled, he asked, "Captain Lewaldt, what do you mean?" ”

Lewaldt continued: "We believe that as long as we gather enough forces on the planet 'Arthurgard' before the enemy arrives, we can carry out an effective mobile defense of the 'New Byzantium' and even the entire Perseus Spiral Arm interstellar outer space, and at the current speed, we can reach the planet 'Arthurgard' in only one hundred and twenty hours, where there is a large shipyard where we can be fully supplied, and there should be enough time to concentrate more warships in the country!" ”

"Considering that our primary purpose is not to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, but to defend an important planet such as 'Neo-Byzantium', and that 'Robb' task force is lone and deep, once our army makes a strong defense, it will definitely not dare to let go of the attack, but they can't fight with our army for a long time, they should choose to retreat, and then we will choose the opportunity to counterattack and relieve the crisis in the rear!"

After listening to her words, Jiang Ziyue's face that had been tense gradually relaxed, and finally a happy smile bloomed, and he said happily: "Great, Captain Lewaldt, your advice is very clever and has greatly inspired me!" ”

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment, then what should we do next!" Young Lota? Lewaldt asked excitedly.

"Alright, commanders, according to Captain Lewaldt's suggestion, we will fly to the planet 'Arthurgard' at the current speed of 6.8, and after reaching the next superluminal rendezvous, I will release a new battle plan, a winning plan, this is the end of the meeting, everyone get ready, veni, vidi, vici." Jiang Ziyue shouted slogans while raising his hands to his subordinates, saluting the standard Roman hand salute.

“veni，vidi，vici.” The subordinates raised their hands in high spirits and saluted loudly.

Cutting off the communication of the meeting, Jiang Ziyue happily said to the flagship's control team: "It seems that the person named 'Rota' can always bring me luck!" ”

"Sir, you don't just want to do what Captain Lewaldt suggests!" Captain Natzmer asked.

Big copy of Benjamin? Lieutenant Alfryk preemptively said, "Of course the chief will think more deeply than Captain Levaldt!" He also deliberately lengthened the pronunciation of the word "deep" in order to provoke more associations among others.

Jiang Ziyue didn't take his words seriously, and then replied to Natzmer's question: "Let's rush to 'Arthurgard', and then sing the empty city plan in 'New Byzantium'!" ”

"Empty City Plan!"

Everyone asked in surprise.

"That's right, the empty city plan, an empty city plan is a good show!" Jiang Ziyue said mysteriously: "And it's a big drama that can only be completed with the help of beautiful women!" ”

At this time, the bridge of the "Siegfried" exploded.

"Sir, do you have any big plans?" Abighiji? Cumanfur immediately preemptively asked questions.

"Sir, if you want to use a beautiful woman, it should be called a beauty plan, or it can be said to be an empty city beauty plan!" Ralph? Turk offered his opinion.

"Can you reveal the name of the heroine?" Jerry? Morris asked.

"What the hell are you going to do? Sir, spoilers first! Xu Kuishan asked eagerly.

But Jiang Ziyue didn't explain more, but said lightly: "Anyway, I'm the actor!" ”

After speaking, he left his post: "Rudiger, I will go back to my living compartment to draw up a combat plan, and also, select five unmanned notification ships in the best condition!" ”

"Yes, sir, Commander leave the bridge!"

After Jiang Ziyue left, Tang Xingyun immediately commented: "Without Captain Stoldt, the chief has really become bad!" ”

"I care about the heroine!" Alflake said with great interest, and then exclaimed, "It can't be Captain 'Little Lota' Lewaldt just now!" I got a white spear, and I want to make a black spear! ”

"Captain Lewaldt is beautiful too!"

"I heard that before the Commander re-led us, there was a scandal when he was working in the 'Ass Fleet'!"

"I also know this, it is said to be a blonde beauty!"

"No, it's not blonde, it's the sister of our former navigator Chief Azay, I heard they all live in his house!"

Captain Natzmer couldn't take it anymore and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Okay, shut up for me!" Do our job well and be a good supporting role for the chief! ”

Neither Rob nor Jiang Ziyue, as fleet commanders on the front line, knew that their actions had inadvertently had a huge impact on the country, especially for the veterans of the New Roman Empire who thought they were in control of history and people.

On April 23, 2920, the notification ship sent by Jiang Ziyue finally flew to the planet "New Byzantium" and delivered the war alarm, and the front line was defeated, followed by the invasion of the enemy army, and the entire government and the opposition were shocked.

When the Senate launched the "Three-Headed Dog" operation, it did not formulate a plan for defeat at all, let alone prepare for a possible counterattack by the Federation, and at this time, the remnants of the Central Fleet and the main force of the Frontier Fleet were all deployed on the "Iserlon" planet on the border line, and there was not even a decent fleet of scale in the country, especially around the capital planet.

In fact, before the launch of the "Three-Headed Dog" operation, the Senate had already formed a fairly large new team on the planet "Aztlan" on the inner side of the Perseus spiral arm, consisting of nearly 1,000 newly built super battleships and 2,000 cruisers The "Caesar" sub-fleet, but the Senate was full of blind confidence in the "Three-Headed Dog" operation, and in order to avoid people's eyes, the new fleet left the "Aztlan" planet and went to the space inside the Perseus spiral arm for long-distance training, at this time they were more than 10,000 light-years away from the "New Byzantine" planet. Obviously, it is far away from the fire.

The planet "New Byzantium" is undoubtedly in great danger, but for the ambitious, danger is a great opportunity.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" At the emergency meeting of the Senate, the imperial consul Wang Zeren issued a righteous and awe-inspiring declaration:

"The enemy invasion is imminent, the Senate and the Roman people's army have not healed the old wounds, and new defeats have been added, the capital and the surrounding star fields are very empty, there are no sufficient troops to be mobilized, the Senate and the Roman people's political system and society are already in extreme danger, as the first senator and consul, I think that the moment has reached the most dangerous juncture, only the unified deployment of manpower and material resources in the whole territory, can repel the enemy, and protect the peace and security of the Senate and the Roman people!"

Then, looking around at the other eight patriarchs, and the ninety alternate patriarchs, he said in a sonorous voice:

"Now, I demand that in order to defend the republican form of government and the security of the Roman people, in accordance with the Senate and the Roman People's Constitution and the Senate and the Roman People's War Law, the Senate must make a 'final resolution', the first senator Wang Zeren, authorize the consul Wang Zeren, and nominate citizen Wang Zeren as dictator!"

"I'm against it!" Conservative senator leader Grindeld? Rockey interrupted Wang's proclamation with a loud scream, and rose from his hard and cold throne, an uncivilized act that violated the Senate's speaking tradition and disrupted the proceedings of the meeting.

When she learned that the Bundeswehr fleet was coming to attack the planet "New Byzantium", she expected that Wang Zeren would propose a "final resolution" and adopt "self-empowerment" to nominate herself as dictator.

However, despite the differences in political stance, no matter how urgent the situation was in the usual way of operation of the Senate, Wang Zeren had to first convene a closed-door meeting of the Senate that only the senators and their designated representatives could attend, put forward their intention to nominate them, conduct a "preliminary vote," and persuade everyone to agree to vote in favor before convening an emergency meeting, including all the alternate senators, to formally announce and approve the nominations and make a "final resolution."

This is also the consistent practice of major decisions, in order to avoid important laws and policies and appointments not being adopted in the Senate, creating a bad impression of discord or even division in the Senate to the people, which will lead to the loss of authority and popular support of the Senate.

The first three dictators in history were all appointed according to this unwritten procedure, and the last time Wang Zeren used the opportunity of the federal army's attack on the planet "Africa" to nominate himself as the dictator, and did not enter the formal voting stage of the "final resolution", but by his representative, the alternate senator, the chief staff of the Privy Council, Günt? Herman? Fischer stated his reasons and initiated a "preliminary vote," but at this stage, Wang Zeren was vetoed.

But now, as soon as the emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures against the enemy began, Wang Zeren initiated a formal voting process and conducted a "self-authorization" to demand a "final resolution". Rocky and the other conservative patriarchs were caught off guard, so she stood up and shouted against tradition and procedure.

Wang Zeren smiled smugly in the face of the brutal behavior of the female senator Rochi, his goal was naturally to become a dictator, but the conservatives who had the majority of votes would naturally oppose it, so he thought of another way of struggle to achieve a lower but more realistic goal, to use the crisis of the situation to make the conservatives who opposed him fall into injustice in front of the Roman people.

Because it is a formal "emergency meeting", the results will be announced directly to the people of the whole country, and all the details of the meeting will be recorded, and after the meeting, a copy will be sent to the Imperial Privy Council, the National Assembly, the Political Coordination Committee, the Chief Justice of the Imperial Court, the Arbitration Committee, and since it is an "emergency meeting" involving the war, it will also be sent to the military tribunes, the headquarters of the Central Fleet and the Frontier Fleet. Although they will not be directly announced to the news media, and these organs and departments are also controlled by people loyal to the Senate itself, their essence is tantamount to announcing to the world.

The "neo-Byzantine" planet was twice attacked by powerful enemies, and the Senate decisively appointed dictators to save the country's fortunes, and this time history will repeat itself, and the people who still remember the past will inevitably approve of Wang Zeren's nomination, while they will be dissatisfied with the conservative senators who oppose it and even lose trust.

To put it another way, conservatives can nominate themselves as dictators, but they lack the right candidate: Frederiga, the commander of the Central Fleet who is loyal to them? Lenny? Feng? Marshal Badenbrock was the best candidate, but he had just died in the battle of the "Aegis" star field, another absolutely trustworthy candidate, Lieutenant General Li Jingxian, but he was missing, and the veterans themselves were either from civilian backgrounds, or the CEOs of state-owned enterprises were promoted to serve as this kind of war dictator who wants to lead the military and the people of the whole country to turn the tide, not to mention that the Roman people disagree with 10,000, or they themselves do not have the courage to recommend themselves.

On the contrary, Wang Zeren himself, with the incomparable advantages of other senators, he was once a famous general, with a complete "road to glory", was a member of the ranks of heroes who saved the country in the "Himalaya" star field battle thirty years ago, and the "Golden Caesar" medal on his chest was added with oak leaves and swords, it can be said that under the current situation, the Senate and the Roman people may not find a more suitable person to be a dictator than him.

Therefore, Wang Zeren's move forced the conservative patriarch into a dilemma, and he said to Roki in the tone of a victor: "Elder Roki, my speech is not over, please sit down!" ”

Luo Ji had no choice but to quickly sit back on the old treasure, who was actually very uncomfortable, and stared at Wang Zeren with anger on his face.

Wang Zeren has already felt the joy of victory, and if the "final resolution" is not passed, he will also be the winner, but the result is only a little smaller, but it can completely weaken the popularity and decision-making influence of conservatives, and increase the chances of victory for his next plan.

Next, he completed the final step of "self-empowerment" and solemnly went on to announce:

"Now the first senator Wang Zeren, the joint consul Wang Zeren, asks the Senate to make a final resolution and appoint citizen Wang Zeren as the dictator who will oversee all the power of the Senate and the Roman people in times of crisis!"

In accordance with legal procedures, after this sentence is finished, it will directly enter the voting stage.

As the first senator who presided over the meeting, Wang Zeren immediately sat down, then stood up to take the lead in voting, and said in a loud voice: "Elder Wang Zeren agrees to pass the final resolution to appoint citizen Wang Zeren as the dictator who will oversee all the power of the Senate and the Roman people in times of crisis!" ”

Since he was also the nominee, he agreed with his nomination and went to the center of the chamber as the nominee to accept the votes of the others.

"Elder Grindeld? Luo Ji passed the final resolution against the appointment of Wang Zeren as the dictator of the war, and the enemy did not appear at all, but only relied on the intelligence analysis report of the junior officer on the enemy's army, and the reason was very insufficient! ”

Roki's performance today was at odds with her status as the head of the conservative senators.

First of all, she was supposed to be the last senator to vote, because her throne was to the right of the first senator, and she was the last to speak and vote in a clockwise order, according to the customary tradition; secondly, her use of words was grossly inappropriate, too colloquial, and grossly inappropriate with the written language customary in the Senate for voting; Moreover, her misrepresentation of the reasons for her opposition: the phrase "only by the junior officers" and the logic it presents will undoubtedly have the effect of killing a large piece of the body with a stick, and it is very easy for thousands of grassroots officers and soldiers who shed their heads and blood for the Senate and the Roman people to feel slighted and insulted.

However, in the face of Wang Zeren's surprise nomination, her abnormal performance is understandable.

The Senate and the dictatorship system were an extremely perverted "combination of contradictions and tragedies", in which the senate appointed dictators to save the senate and the Roman people, but as long as anyone was appointed as a dictator, all the power of the senate and the Roman people was concentrated in their hands, and they could decide the life and death of anyone under their rule.

The other senators and alternate senators present here knew very well that an ambitious and powerful man like Wang Zeren would take the opportunity to eliminate his political enemies once he dominated the life and death of the Senate and the Roman people.

The three successive dictators in the history of the empire all launched political purges after taking office.

Hu Jinbo, the dictator of national salvation in 2608, saved the people from floods, and at the same time confiscated many veterans and their henchmen on many charges such as obstruction of disaster relief, corruption, and inaction, but fortunately, Hu's control over the violent departments of the state such as the army and the police was not very strong, and there were not many officers loyal to him, so there were relatively few people killed, and most of the tortured people had obvious evidence of corruption and dereliction of duty, so the people did not criticize his large-scale use of the death penalty except for democracy activists and humanitarians.

War dictator Friedrich in 2751? Feng? Marshal Weikert, the official official history evaluation is "a general through the ages", and the folk historians say that it is "a demon through the ages", millions of officials, commanders and fighters, and even innocent people, not died in the enemy's attack, nor did they fall on the way to the charge, but were executed by Weikert's minions, either secretly or openly on various trumped-up charges.

Marshal Du Yimin, the dictator of the war in 2890, overshadowed his two predecessors, known as "killing the marshal", and the first dictatorship issued as soon as he came to power was not to defend against the enemy, but to immediately shoot all political prisoners in prison and criminal prisoners with more than ten years in prison, while fighting fiercely with the Ansean Star Federation, he still did not forget to mobilize a large number of military and police to arrest and execute separatists, local planetary independents, democrats, democracy activists, and anti-Senate factions in the Senate and the entire territory of the Roman people. Even those who openly criticized the Senate and the military were shot and killed on charges of being spies for the Perseus Commonwealth who were hiding among the masses.

There is no official data on how many people Du Yimin killed outside the battlefield, because many massacres are still under investigation, and a large number of unjust, false and wrongful cases are still being retried and rehabilitated, but the conservative estimate is between 3 million and 5 million, and many pro-democracy activists who fled to the British Immortal Federation even claim that hundreds of millions of people died at the gunpoint of Du Yimin.
