Chapter 476: The Emperor's Figure

Whoever is missing in this world, the sun will rise as usual.

Therefore, Kentwiss thinks that Ji Xinghe, an old man who can fight, is not irreplaceable, but actually has some truth.

Therefore, Ji Xinghe also has reason to think that Kentwis, the spokesperson of the towertop organization that hinders his revenge, can be completely replaced.

The difference between the two, or the difference between these two Federation generals, is that one is just a general, and the other is a general at the same time, and he is also a puppet.

"You don't know anything, you just know how to fight and kill."

"I know everything, and I'm going to fight and kill."

No one knew that Kentwiss and Ji Xinghe had a conversation in the air.

They didn't know it themselves, but these two lines of dialogue meant a lot, a lot to the two of them, and it meant a lot to the Federation and the war.

No one is irreplaceable, and this is true for the Federation.

But some people have the ability to let others be replaced.

No orangutan is irreplaceable, and this is no different for the Empire.

However, some orangutans have the ability to replace other orangutans.

For example, Aidacom.

When the news of Yinan's death in the No. 5 Base War Zone reached the Empire's Jump Base Command Center in the Battle Scar Canyon, there was no wailing and crying.

On the contrary, many orangutans were excited.

A radish has a pit, and if there is one less radish, then there will be one more pit, not to mention that there is a lot less radish this time?

Including Yinan, the great general, the empire originally had five dukes in the War Scar Canyon.

Three of them took 1,500 mechs to encircle and suppress the Independent Regiment this morning, but they were killed by the Independent Regiment.

One of them was killed by Andre using the power of technology during the encirclement and suppression battle.

The remaining two successfully escaped the anti-pursuit of the independent regiment, but they were taken to the No. 5 base theater by Yinan, and were killed by Ji Xinghe and Han Li.

It can be said that they can escape the morning, but not the afternoon.

At this point, the Duke of the Empire in the Warscar Canyon was the only one left with Dongguo Cilian, who was in charge of chasing and killing Kadilin at that time.

It couldn't attack for a long time at that time, and when the Imperial Mecha had the advantage at that time, it chose to flee first.

This made Yinan, who was still alive at the time, very angry, and in order to save more mechas, Aidakang made a deal.

It's just that the accident happened too quickly, so Dongguo Cilian's mecha, as well as the Marquis A and Earl Armor under it, have not been taken down by Ai Dakang for reasons such as delaying the military plane and passively slacking off.

Therefore, the duke of Dongguo Cilian temporarily became the general of the empire in the War Scar Canyon.

It itself has the same powers as the rank of general of the Federation, and this temporary succession is also in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations of the Empire.

"I've finally become a general, hahaha......"

Dongguo Cilian did not grieve because of Yinan's death, nor did she have the slightest fear.

If Yinan had died in the War Scar Canyon, it would definitely be frightened now, but Yinan was taken to the No. 5 base war zone by Ai Dakang, and it can be said that he died at the hands of Ai Dakang.

So what does that have to do with it?

If the emperor of the empire is held responsible, Ai Dakang should be the first, and Yinan himself should be the second, and it has no power to prevent Ai Dakang and Yinan from going to the No. 5 base war zone, and it will definitely not have any responsibility.

On the contrary, there is a chance to save the building, and this opportunity represents the credit that can make it truly a great general.

"Ji Xinghe is not here, call me."

After Dongguo Cilian gave the order, it was not really carried out, because Ai Dakang also gave an order to suspend the attack.

In Dongguo Cilian's view, this is Idakang's greater credit for preventing it.

"Idacom has been defeated many times, and the surprise attack on the Federation's base five failed, losing a jump gate, more than five hundred mechs, and six duke armor.

The second assault on the Federation's base 5 resulted in the loss of more than 2,000 mechs, six space warships, 500,000 troops, and five dukes.

The third surprise attack on the No. 5 base of the Federation killed Yinan again, as well as two dukes and five marquises......"

Thinking back to the repeated defeats of Idakang, all of them are related to the No. 5 base war zone, and directly speaking, they are all related to Ji Xinghe.

Dongguo Cilian wanted to take advantage of Ji Xinghe's absence to launch an advance operation against the Western Theater as before when there was no Ji Xinghe and no independent regiment.

"Ai Dakang didn't let me fight, it must be to take advantage of Yinan's death and come over to take away the command. And take advantage of the jump gate to annihilate all the living forces in the western theater before Ji Xinghe rushes back to support, and make up for the previous losses and sins. ”

Thinking of this, Dongguo Cilian was very angry.

But it couldn't refuse to carry out Aidakang's orders, so it joined Aidacon's book while preparing for a full-scale attack.

The military system of the Empire was different from that of the Confederation, and was slightly different from any other period in the history of the Confederation's continents.

In real comparison, some of them are like the military system of the slavery period in Longzhou more than 2,000 years ago: it is compatible with the political system centered on royal power, the king is the supreme military commander, and although the army of the princes of Fang has a certain independence, they must listen to the king's call in wartime.

But now, nearly 300 years after the establishment of the empire, the princes of the empire, including the princes, have lost the power to form armies in the true sense.

This is because with the unification of the Imperial Star by the Empire, the development of science and technology, including communications, transportation, and weapons, has made it easier for the Imperial Power to manage the entire planet.

The branches are strong and weak, and they have become strong and weak.

The royal army continued to develop and became the most powerful standing army in the empire, and the princes had no opportunity to fight each other, and raising a private army would not only increase attrition, but also lead to the emperor's dissatisfaction, and all kinds of small shoes were worn.

As a result, the nobles, who nominally had the power to form an army, could only disband the large number of private armies and form a pro-guard army that prioritized quality.

However, the nobility of the empire still had the right to recruit troops from their fiefdoms in time of war, and to take the army they formed into battle based on the orders of the emperor.

Recruitment, not formation, means that these recruited armies, which are also the emperor's army, must be given priority by the emperor's orders, not the private armies of the great nobles.

The Empire and the Federation have been fighting wars on alien planets for more than twenty years, and the vast majority of the regular troops killed and wounded are private troops recruited by the major nobles.

This makes the phenomenon of the empire's strong and weak branches more serious, which is basically the same as the internal contradictions of the empire analyzed by Liu Mian, Davis, and many people.

Under this premise, it is very normal for the empire to have an overseer with the imperial order among the armies that are fighting on alien planets.

Including Ai Dakang, the prince and general, there is also the existence of the supervising army.

They have no aristocratic status and no fighting power, as they are monkeys rather than orangutans.

But their authority is so great that it can be described as heavenly in the Empire.

In the Empire, there are not many such monkeys, they form the civil system of the Empire, although almost none of them have the status of nobility, but the power brought by official positions is greater than that of many orangutan nobles.

However, in general, in an empire that advocates force and war, the civilian clique has far less power than the military clique.

Not to mention anything else, the system of not being knighted without military exploits is obviously restricting the monkeys.

The orangutans of the empire will not forget that three hundred years ago, the monkeys with relatively higher intelligence were the real masters of the imperial star, and more than half of the orangutans were slaves of the monkeys.

No matter how strong your physical fitness is, what if you can fight?

Even in the era of cold weapons, it does not mean that war is to slash and kill each other with cold weapons, swords and armor require technology to build, bows and arrows, catapults, etc., the same is true.

Wise monkeys can build armies with more powerful weapons, and they can also have the resources to feed more armies through farming, primitive commerce, and so on.

In the era when this monkey was above the orangutan, the emperor known as Emperor Wu I ended up as an orangutan.

The power of the gift can not only make the combat effectiveness of the orangutans stronger, but also the equivalent of turning into an ape-shaped mecha in the era of cold weapons, and easily turn on the matchless killing mode on the battlefield.

It also allows them to have a higher level of intelligence.

After the empire was created, Emperor Wu I opened up the wisdom of the orangutans through running a school, although in terms of high precision, the orangutans are still not as good as the monkeys, but it will not allow the monkeys to achieve an absolute advantage in wisdom again.

Because of this, the orangutans have been restricting the monkeys.

Of course, there are no absolutes in everything, and monkeys like the president of the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences received a knighthood because of his scientific research.

But this one is extremely rare.

So the contradictions of the empire are not only between the royal family and the nobility, between the old and the new, but also between the orangutan and the monkey.

Dongguo Cilian looked at the monkey standing in front of him and asked in a very infectious tone, "Do you want to be a general for a day, or do you want to be a staff member for a lifetime?" ”

This monkey not only has the identity of the prison army, but also the identity of the staff.

The staff of the empire is equivalent to the staff of the Federation, but they are far lower than the staff of the Federation in terms of authority, after all, the staff of the Federation can have real command, even if they are not the chief of staff.

The monkey, who was only one and a half meters tall, looked up at Dongguo Cilian, who was more than two meters tall, and asked rhetorically, "Do you want to participate in the war?" ”

"Yes." Dongguo Cilian did not hide it: "Not only do I want to participate in the war, but all the marquis and earls under me will participate in the war." and the marquis and earl left behind in Yinan, all of whom have to participate in the war. So, as long as Idacom doesn't come, or if it can't get command, you have a chance to be a general for a day. ”

It has four marquis armor and twenty-three counts, each in charge of a large number of troops.

The military rank of the empire is actually similar to that of the Federation, there are eight levels from top to bottom, and after translation, it can be referred to by the division of the army, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, and the platoon plus a long word.

But the empire had no ranks, only knighthoods.

In other words, the military rank of the empire is a knighthood.

Yinan's general is not a military rank, but a military position, and judging from the number of troops it has previously controlled and the importance of the theater, it is equivalent to the three-star general of the Federation of Kenteves.

But because it has the title of duke, its importance is far greater than that of Kenteves.

Dukes who do not have the military rank of a general generally have the military rank of general, which is equivalent to a lieutenant general with real power like Tu Yuan, who can be in charge of multiple group armies under normal circumstances, and each group army has about 100,000 troops.

The Marquis can be in charge of an army group, and the Count is in charge of the command order.

Of course, there are also some counts with strong backgrounds and outstanding military achievements, who can be in charge of a group army on their own.

Such imperial counts either have a good father and son-in-law, or they are generals who are expected to be promoted to marquis and duke. And such an imperial earl, who was only driving the sixteenth generation of the Federation's mecha transformation model Ji Xinghe at that time, helped Jackson kill one, and it was precisely because of this that Jackson won a lot of military merits at that time, and he got a better mecha one step earlier.

In the past seven days, almost all of the 500,000 troops in the Western Theater who have been annihilated are under the command of those dukes, marquises, and earls who have died, which is why Yinan will take them directly to the No. 5 Base Theater of Operations.

There are also some forces under their control, and they are now fighting with Rovich in the Eastern Theater of Operations.

Because there is no support from the noble mechas, the Eastern Theater is also constantly winning.

The three major armies of the empire that have now entered the front-line combat zone in the Western Theater are all soldiers of Dongguo Cilian.

If it wants to win a victory, it must personally lead its nobles to drive the mechs into battle, and use the mech's ability to break the formation to give the Empire's long-range firepower and conventional forces an advantage.

Dukes, marquises, and counts are all in the war, so who is in charge of the command center?

The Viscount can't.

Although he has a knighthood, he is far inferior to the monkey who is looking up at Dongguo Cilian in terms of authority.

Moreover, if this battle can be won, it will have a chance to obtain a knighthood for its exploits, which is an offer that the monkeys of the empire cannot refuse.

As a staff member, it is very familiar with the current war in the Western Theater, and the Independent Regiment is indeed very powerful, but in the absence of Ji Xinghe, the Great Noble Mecha possessed by the Western Theater has every chance to annihilate the Independent Regiment that has suffered a lot of losses.

Without the Independent Regiment, the Mecha Corps in the Western Theater would not be their opponent at all.

"Hurry up, Idacom will be here soon."

Dongguo Cilian urged, and said nothing, it was sure that this monkey, who was theoretically smarter than it, could see it more clearly than it.

The monkey made a decision and came to an area of the command center.

"Activate the jump communication device."

Orangutans, monkeys, and all kinds of weapons of war can use leap technology to cross the sea of stars, not to mention communication signals?

This kind of technology has only been completed in recent years, otherwise, every communication with the Imperial Star needs to open the jump door to be carried out, and it is a huge waste of resources when it is uncertain whether it needs to increase troops or materials.

Miniaturized jump gate devices cannot connect Alien and Imperial stars, and the resources required to start a large jump gate device are too large, and the cost of large jump doors is not only extremely high, but also the number of times they can be used is limited.

Otherwise, how could the Empire only have two large jump gate devices in the alien planet?

The newsletter was quickly established.

A battle report that had been prepared for a long time and updated in real time was transmitted back to the Imperial Star by this monkey, and the main content was today's battle situation.

The orangutans and monkeys at the Imperial Star Military Aircraft were shocked when they saw this battle report.

In less than a day, more than 200,000 troops were lost, more than 4,000 mechas, and Yinan was dead, and there were three dukes?

Marquises, earls or something, for these orangutans and monkeys in the Imperial Military Aircraft Department, they are actually not worth mentioning, but the duke's death in battle cannot be ignored.

From the point of view of the title, the orangutans in the military aircraft department are just dukes, although the monkeys in the military aircraft department are high and powerful, they can be described as extremely ape-minded ministers, but when they see the duke, they have to walk and salute first, because they only have the status of worthless viscounts and barons, and the fief is still near the capital.

Moreover, there are only more than two hundred dukes in the entire empire. Four died in one day, and there is a grand duke like Yinan, so if you fight for a few more days, won't you have to die?

Are they, the dukes who can sit in the military aircraft department, also go to the battlefield?

"We need to meet Your Majesty in person, because General Yinan has died, and it involves Prince Aidakang, as well as Ji Xinghe."

"Yes."

The matter is so big that the Military Aircraft Department, which nominally takes charge of all the military forces of the empire for the emperor, cannot make a decision.

So they made a video call to the Emperor.

It is worth mentioning that they do not have holographic projection technology, and the video communication looks about the same as the level of the Federation around 2022.

From this point of view, the scientific and technological development of the Empire is more deformed than that of the Federation. But it is also easy to understand that when the emperor and the great nobles do not need this kind of technology, they will not invest more resources in research.

The empire is also lagging behind the Federation's science and technology, as well as in terms of medical treatment, they have the power of qi, which can be described as invincible to all diseases, even if they are sick or injured, they can also use the power of qi for treatment, and naturally there is no need to vigorously develop any medical technology.

As for the commoners and slaves, they did not have the power of qi, nor did they have the resources to borrow the power of qi to heal......

What does it have to do with the great nobles?

The communications were successfully established, and the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department bowed and saluted, and they did not need to bow down.

A majestic voice rang out.

"Say."

"Yes."

The situation was quickly explained, and in the process of explanation, the ministers looked up one after another and saw their long-lost Emperor Majesty...... figure.

Yes, it has been a long time since they have seen their Emperor in person, and the Emperor participates in daily court meetings and grand court meetings using video communication.

Compared to the court meeting and the great court meeting, they can clearly see the appearance of their emperor majesty, and similar to the communication in this situation, they can't clearly see the emperor in the dark environment.

There was only a hazy glimmer of light, illuminating the upper body of the emperor.

It looks like you're in the cockpit of a mech.

This made the ministers very puzzled, as the emperor of the empire, he had incredible individual force, controlled the most powerful regular army in the empire, and nuclear weapons......

Is it necessary to stay in the mech every day?

What is the significance of a mecha that can be dismantled with bare hands to the emperor? Even the most advanced and powerful in the world uses the Holy Crystal as an energy-powered Imperial Armor.

But no gorillas dared to ask, and neither did the monkeys.

After listening to the emergency military situation, the emperor did not express his attitude, but asked softly: "What do you think?" ”

Although it was a soft tone and a video communication, it still gave the ministers a sense of majesty.

They all know that it is the most powerful bounty in the world, and the increase in holdings it brings.

Under this majesty, some orangutans have the courage to speak out.

"We believe that we should give up capturing Ji Xinghe alive and aim for killing."

We?

The other orangutans and monkeys are angry, who is with you.

It's about the emperor's previous orders, no jokes.

Immediately, an orangutan retorted.

"Your Majesty, although we have suffered a great loss today, it is precisely because of this that we have a greater chance of capturing Ji Xinghe alive......"
