Chapter 569: Waiting for King's Landing
Imperial Star, King's Landing.
Because two hundred years ago, Emperor Wu I set foot here and got its name.
After occupying King's Landing, Emperor Wu I conquered the second largest land in the Imperial Star in just five years.
So, from the time King's Landing had its name, it was the most powerful city on the continent. And this continent, because of the name King's Landing, has become King's Landing.
And today, two hundred years later, Idacom has also set foot in the King's Landing Continent.
Its goal, like its grandfather, is to conquer the continent.
After three years of conquest, Adacom has conquered the other continents of the Imperial Star, or rather, annihilated all the rebels who dared to stand up on the other continents.
Of the nine continents of the Imperial Star, only the last one still has the power of the rebels, and it can be said that all the remnants of the rebels on the other continents have all been transferred to the King's Landing Continent.
This makes the situation in King's Landing seem very dangerous for the Empire, because on King's Landing, except for King's Landing, which is almost the same as Emperor Wu City's structure and militarized management, all other cities are occupied by the rebels.
However, Idacom did not panic at all.
Because it is clear that the reason why those rebel armies were able to smoothly transfer from other continents to King's Landing Continent was not because the empire had no precautions and means to deal with it, but because of Emperor Wu III's plan.
An all-out war will cause the flames of war to spread to every city, affecting the national strength of the entire empire.
Rather than this, it is better to let all the nobles, commoners, and slaves who have the courage to resist the rule of Emperor Wu III be transferred to the King's Landing Continent.
In the end, it will be done again.
And now is the beginning of the battle.
It is said that this plan was proposed by Li Zhengfan.
Thinking of this, Idacom sneered, it could guess what Li Zhengfan thought.
It sounds like there is nothing wrong with this plan, and the spread of the war is indeed not easy to extinguish, because the high-pressure rule of Emperor Wu III has long made countless orangutans and monkeys dissatisfied, and when no rebel army dares to stand up and resist, all the people can only grit their teeth and bear it.
And when the brave stand up, there will be countless cowards who become brave.
If the war spreads, countless cities in the Nine Continents will open countless fires called resistance, even with the power of Emperor Wu III, they can still be extinguished, it will take longer and consume more national strength.
But there are pros and cons in everything, and this plan that is beneficial to Emperor Wu III will also have some disadvantages, the most important of which is that it will buy more time for the rebels to develop.
All the high technology of the empire, including weapons, its research and development, manufacturing, and large-scale production were all in the hands of Emperor Wu III.
In addition to conventional firearms and artillery shells, the weapons that the resistance army used at the beginning were tanks, armored vehicles, and mechas, not to mention weapons such as space warships and orbital ballistic missiles, and there were not many medium and long-range ballistic ballistics and fighters.
As for military satellites, there are none.
Any military satellites controlled by the rebels will be ruthlessly destroyed by the Empire.
From this point of view, the state of the rebels in the Imperial Star is very similar to the state of the Imperial Army in the alien planet, and there is no air supremacy.
But in fact, it is far inferior, at least when the imperial army is in another planet, it can also use a large number of medium and long-range ballistic missiles, and occasionally it can also conduct high-altitude and space reconnaissance through space warships in the process of breaking out, and secretly release some military satellites to provide some support to the imperial army for a short time.
How can such a rebel army fight?
You can only rely on the city to fight street battles with the Imperial army in order to circumvent the Empire's air superiority and firepower superiority.
It stands to reason that the rebels should have insisted on this method of warfare for a long time, and waited for an opportunity to obtain scientific research and production forces that only Emperor Wu III could control before, but the rebels did not do so.
Because they have.
What Dongguo Cilian got from the Federation was not only a few high-yield nuclear weapons, but also various scientific and technological knowledge that the Federation had reversely researched from the captured Imperial high-tech trophies.
Therefore, Li Zhengfan's plan can be seen as buying time for the rebels to master those scientific and technological knowledge and transform it into productive force.
It can also be seen as a shocking gamble.
Li Zhengfan, knowing very well what kind of military power Emperor Wu III had, bet that the rebels would be able to master enough military power to prevent the rebels from being completely wiped out before they were completely wiped out.
In the end, the empire will be mired in war.
This human ......
"General."
Adacon's thoughts were interrupted, and after returning to the Imperial Star, he still liked the title of General.
The staff reported: "Our 327th Group Army was attacked by the rebels' medium-range ballistic missiles during the march, and the casualties were not large. But we can now be sure that the intermediate-range ballistic missiles used by the rebels were not stolen from us, but made by them. ”
Edakon frowned.
The rebels launched wars of resistance throughout the empire, which were themselves based on the armies in the hands of some nobles, and naturally possessed some weapons. And in the process of resistance, there were also some victories, and then some high-tech weapons of the empire were obtained as trophies.
However, these are all rootless.
After losing the support of the Empire, neither those armies nor those military factories had complete production capacity, and most of the military factories had been destroyed by the Imperial bombing.
Therefore, the war has come to an end.
But now it is different, the rebels have mastered the ability to create medium-range ballistic missiles.
"How's the speed?"
"Hypersonic speed."
"Hehe, the Federation is really willing to invest."
Idacom sneered.
In the face of hypersonic medium-range ballistic missiles, if they cannot be intercepted at the initial stage of launch, the success rate of interception in the middle and later range will be greatly reduced.
Although the Empire has air supremacy and can theoretically pinpoint the rebels' launch bases at the beginning of missile launches, the rebels have miniaturized jump gate devices.
This is a bit like a war on an alien battlefield, and the number of missiles and other weapons of the Federation is far inferior to that of the empire with convenient supply because the logistics supply line is too long, and it can only rely on air supremacy to make up for it.
However, after the Empire began to use the miniaturized jump gate device in the alien planet, the Federation's air supremacy advantage was greatly reduced.
The staff said: "Actually, we don't need to worry about this, now that we have focused all our attention on the King's Landing Continent, those R&D and production bases they have hidden will soon be destroyed by our precise locations."
Including those R&D and production bases located in cities, we are also able to use precision strikes combined with the tactics of orbital airborne mech warfare to destroy. It won't take long for the Great General to be able to completely conquer King's Landing. ”
The Empire has mastered the orbital airborne technology of the mecha, which is actually not difficult to achieve, they can't do it in the alien planet, just because they don't have air supremacy, and the air supremacy of the Imperial Star is in the hands of the Empire, and the rebels are powerless to resist at all.
"Don't worry?"
Ai Dakang asked with a cold face: "What if, what if the Federation gives Dongguo Cilian not only nuclear weapons, but also the technology to create nuclear weapons?" ”
With the ability to manufacture medium-range ballistic missiles, it will not be too difficult to create ICBMs.
The Empire's industrial capacity itself has already reached this level, and there are many, many monkeys among the rebels, plus the technical support of the Federation, and the industrial base that the rebels have acquired in King's Landing.
There is a high probability that a nuclear war will occur on the Imperial planet.
As for the problem that there are no satellites, so there is no way to strike accurately...... Nuclear weapons, precise or imprecise, does it matter?
The staff member pondered for a moment and then said: "Theoretically, there is indeed such a possibility, because nuclear weapons are the technology we have mastered, and the Federation does not need to worry about Dongguo Cilian handing over this technology to us. Just as we know so far, none of the technologies mastered by the rebels are superior to ours, all of them are backward, and they are all based on our technology, and they do not involve the technologies of the Federation that we do not master.
However, I don't think that the Federation will hand over the technology of manufacturing nuclear weapons to Dongguo Cilian, because this technology is so important to Dongguo Cilian that he will definitely choose to exchange it for information that is equally important to the Federation.
In my opinion, it should be the exact coordinates of our jump base in the Scar Canyon. But after Dongguo Cilian returned to the jump base, we activated the countermeasures, Dongguo Cilian had no chance to transmit the exact coordinates to the Federation, and similarly, the Federation had no chance, and would not hand over the manufacturing technology of nuclear weapons to Dongguo Cilian. ”
Ai Dakang also knew this, but when it thought of Li Zhengfan's plan, it felt that it was very likely that the Federation had given Dongguo Cilian the technology to manufacture nuclear weapons, and Li Zhengfan, a human being, knew more about human beings than orangutans.
Nuclear war.
It's also afraid.
Because after its prince armor was captured by Ji Xinghe, only the duke armor could be used, and it wanted to build another prince armor that used tungsten steel gold as the body material, but it was stopped by Emperor Wu III's order.
It has enough tungsten steel, but it doesn't know how to build Prince Armor, and all it can build is a regular-grade standard mecha.
If you don't have Prince A, you can't stop nuclear weapons, so you can't stay in an underground bunker all the time.
So, Idacom hesitated again.
The way to avoid a nuclear war is simple: to destroy the main forces of the resistance before they have the ability to build nuclear weapons and intercontinental missiles.
In the end, even if there are some fires left that are difficult to extinguish, it is impossible to start a nuclear war again.
But it also knew that after the end of the civil war in this empire, its value to Emperor Wu III would drop significantly, and its fate would ......
"General."
New information has arrived.
"A minute ago, the rebels used an all-channel broadcast mode to declare to the world that they were emancipating slaves and put forward the idea of equal rights."
Emancipating slaves?
Affirmative Thinking?
This is really bad news, worse than the resistance getting hold of nuclear weapons.
Without listening to the specifics, Adacom had already guessed the idea that the rebels were trying to express.
Although it scoffed at this, believing that the nobles in the rebels must be to attract more resistance forces to join them, this kind of thinking was really dangerous for the empire.
So, is this the real reason why Li Zhengfan thinks that the rebels will not be wiped out by the empire?
Idacom suddenly woke up.
Sure enough, it is humans who understand humans better.
"That's nothing to do with us, ...... from now on"
Before Idakang's order could be spoken, it was interrupted again, from the communication of Emperor Wu III.
"Your Majesty."
Ai Dakang noticed that Li Zhengfan was still standing beside Emperor Wu III, not at all like a prisoner, like an important staff member.
"Idacon, you go on a trip to another planet."
"Yes."
Idacom didn't ask why, and promised cleanly.
But the words that Emperor Wu III said next made it surprised.
"Ji Xinghe has returned to the alien planet, and once again put forward the request for a challenge before the formation, the target he wants to challenge is you."
"Your Majesty, am I going to accept his challenge?"
"Yes."
"But my mecha ......" Idacom had to admit: "Without Prince A, I am not his opponent, because he must have the most powerful mecha in the whole Federation." ”
Emperor Wu III laughed.
"The prince's mecha will be handed over to you to use."
The Imperial Armor of the previous generation?
Although it is the previous generation, its comprehensive performance is more powerful than the Prince Armor used by Aidakang before.
Idacom was overjoyed, and was about to make a promise, but suddenly hesitated.
Then he asked, "Your Majesty, can I use other means to kill Ji Xinghe directly?" ”
Emperor Wu III did not respond, and looked at Ai Dakang in silence, making Ai Dakang a little ashamed.
It explained: "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of Ji Xinghe, but because Ji Xinghe has mastered the power of the gift, and his existence is a great threat to us, and I am willing to sacrifice my reputation in order to be able to solve this problem." ”
Regarding the fact that Ji Xinghe had mastered the gift, Ai Dakang knew about it shortly after Emperor Wu III knew about it, and Emperor Wu did not keep it a secret, and he couldn't keep it completely secret, because the news came from the Federation.
Although Ai Dakang didn't think that the qi possessed by Ji Xinghe could be more powerful than the qi it possessed, nor did he think that the mecha possessed by Ji Xinghe could be stronger than the emperor armor it was about to obtain.
However, the strength of the Ji Xinghe armor-piercing battle is too strong, and its advantages cannot be effectively played.
So, it's a little worried.
"Your reputation really doesn't matter." Emperor Wu III said in a calm tone: "But the reputation and importance of the empire are more important than your life and death, Ai Dakang, don't let me down." ”
Adacom was shocked.
He could only bow his head and say, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will kill Ji Xinghe with my own hands." ”
"Yes."
After the communication was hung up, Idacom began to hand over its command, and he was very skilled in doing it, because it had done it once before in Alien.
Thinking about the upcoming Emperor Armor, and the Ji Xinghe that is waiting for it to come to another planet.
Its heart hesitated again: should it kill Ji Xinghe, or find a way to get the blessed power that Ji Xinghe possessed?
If you have the power of your gift, plus the power that the Imperial Star Resistance has......
In the palace in Emperor Wu City, Li Zhengfan spoke curiously.
"Aren't you afraid that Idacom will not kill Ji Xinghe, but get the secret of the gift from Ji Xinghe, and then turn into the leader of the rebels?"
Emperor Wu III asked rhetorically: "Do you think that Ji Xinghe is not the opponent of Ai Dakang?" ”
Li Zhengfan nodded and said, "Yes, haven't you already got the information?" Ji Xinghe's new mecha was destroyed, and the mecha he could use now was either the previous Divine Punishment Armor, or the fourth-generation Xingyue Armor, or it could be Han Li's Allure Armor. But no matter which mecha it is, it's not as good as the Imperial Armor that you eliminated. ”
"Yes, Ji Xinghe doesn't have a mecha that can be compared to the Emperor Armor, but ......"
Emperor Wu III laughed: "If Aida Kang hesitates, it will be killed by Ji Xinghe, and if it does not hesitate, it will be able to kill Ji Xinghe." ”
"It turns out that it's a test for Adakang." Li Zhengfan asked, "So, if Idakang passes this test, you will pass on the power of your gift to it?" After all, you don't need it anymore. ”
"Yes, I will pass on the power of the gift to Adakon, and then let him do it on my behalf to those who are loyal to me."
After Emperor Wu III confirmed Li Zhengfan's speculation, he asked, "Aren't you worried, after Ji Xinghe dies, you humans will no longer be able to obtain the power of the gift?" ”
"Why worry? Ji Xinghe was able to obtain the power of qi from nothing, and now he has mastered the power of gifts, so can others. ”
"For example, your younger brother, Li Yuanba?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll tell you a secret." Emperor Wu III said with a smile: "After accepting the gift, it is impossible to master the power of the gift on your own. Do you think Ji Xinghe will not give Li Yuanba a gift? ”
Li Zhengfan frowned: "You have also received gifts, and you are ...... now No, you're not receiving a gift? ”
"Yes, I have not received a gift, but a ...... Inheritance! ”
Emperor Wu III looked at Li Zhengfan and said softly: "It's really a pity, Ji Xinghe, the greatest hero in your human world, personally destroyed those geniuses among you human beings. It's even more regrettable that he was ruined by me. ”
Li Zhengfan finally understood.
Why is it that in the three hundred years of the empire, so many orangutans have obtained the power of qi through gifts, and there are many, many members of the royal family, but the gifts have always been in the hands of the emperor.
The military dictatorship ruled in a way that influenced the spiritual will of the people of the empire, controlled high technology, and prevented the people from using nuclear radiation for experiments. And the way to really grasp the secret of the gift is actually what Emperor Wu III just said: the life that has received the gift can never grasp the power of the gift.
I really hope that Ji Xinghe can give fewer gifts to some people and let more people grasp the power of gifts.
Li Zhengfan sighed in his heart and suddenly asked, "What if, Ji Xinghe already knows this?" You haven't thought about it, why did he dare to challenge Aidakang when he didn't have a mecha of the same level? And why did the Federation agree to let him launch this death-threatening challenge before a second person with the power of the Gift appeared? ”
Emperor Wu III did not answer these questions, but said, "If Idakang is dead, you can ask Ji Xinghe these questions in person." ”
"You're going to let me go to another planet again?" Li Zhengfan laughed: "It makes no sense, they all treat me as dead, as long as Li Anbang and Li Yuanba disagree that I am Li Zhengfan, then I am not Li Zhengfan." ”
"You don't have to go to another planet, you have the opportunity to ask Ji Xinghe these questions." Emperor Wu III said: "Because after Idakang dies, Ji Xinghe will come to the Imperial Star. ”
Li Zhengfan was shocked.
"You're going to give up the jump base in Warscar Canyon? No, you want that jump base to give to the Resistance? ”
