079 Win every battle, but lose the war

For the Kerry Empire, the Starry Sky Zerg is now the biggest threat, and as for the report submitted by Kyle on the matter of the Tolan star system, it has long been forgotten.

After all, it's just a cruiser, and it's not a big deal in the eyes of the councilors, and the garrison of the floodlight star system can easily take out a small battle group at will.

Even many people in the council believe that Kyle's report is suspected of exaggeration.

And the motive...

Naturally, to cover up their own incompetence!

If it weren't for Brown's help, they would have wanted to Kyle directly.

However, it also depends on the owner to beat the dog, right?

Kyle is indeed a small person in their eyes, but his boss, Brown, is a big one.

One of the seven supreme commanders of the Empire, he wielded 3,800 capital warships, and his father was a member of the Senate.

Therefore, it is obviously unwise to have a bad relationship with Brown for the sake of Kyle, a small person.

This is the consensus of almost everyone.

Because of this, Kyle was able to keep his position once again, but if he wanted to go further, he couldn't.

Maybe those congressmen will sell Brown a face, and not get rid of you.

But if you want to go up, you have to count on any councillors to support you.

------

Bloom star system, orbit of Snow star.

Boom!

Slamming one of the decorations in his room to the ground, Kyle's face is full of anger.

Exaggerating the threat of humanity?

Making excuses for your incompetence?

And you have to put all your energy on those bugs, don't always stare at humans?

Are these damn parliamentarians stuffed with shit in their heads?

Kyle does not deny that the threat of the Starry Sky Zerg is very great, but no matter how strong the Starry Sky Zerg is, it cannot threaten the foundation of the empire, but the human race is different, once the human race rises again, not to mention reaching the level of the Star Sea Federation, as long as there can be one or two percent...

Kyle has no doubt that the empire is not far from falling.

After all, he knew the details of the battle more than 400 years ago!

About 420 years ago.

It is the 30,000th anniversary celebration of the Kerry Empire.

For this celebration, the Empire invited the other four civilizations to participate in a special parade.

Soon, the Prol Community, the Philna Union, and the Republic of Lane all responded and said that they would send their strongest fleets to participate.

In order to show respect, the Star Sea Federation also sent the head of the three major fleets, the most powerful Loulan fleet.

Although everyone is also a fourth-level civilization, the Star Sea Federation is much stronger than all of them, otherwise, the galactic order proposed by the Star Sea Federation would not have been in operation for thousands of years.

Let's talk about the Loulan fleet, its power can even sweep through any of the four major civilizations.

As for the other two of the three major fleets of the Federation, although they are also very strong, they are still much worse than the Loulan fleet.

And it was this celebration of Kerry's empire and this parade that became the prelude to the demise of the Star Sea Federation.

On the day of the parade, the Loulan fleet was arranged in the center of the other four major civilization fleets.

After all, it is the most powerful civilization, and there is nothing wrong with this arrangement, and no one sees anything wrong.

But soon, something unexpected happened.

The fleets of the four major civilizations opened fire without warning, towards the central Loulan fleet.

Originally, because of the ceremonial array, the fleet adopted a high-density formation, and in addition, all combat-related systems were shut down as a sign of respect.

Such as weapons...

Like an energy shield...

Wait a minute.

It was nothing short of a massacre.

Even the Loulan fleet, with no shields, no weapons, and a super-dense arrangement, and being completely surrounded, was powerless to resist.

And when the Loulan fleet reacted and finally activated all the shields and weapons and other systems, it had already lost seventy percent of the warships.

Although the remaining battleships resisted vigorously, it was impossible to turn the tables.

In the end, the Loulan fleet, which made all civilizations in the entire galaxy tremble, just disappeared.

Immediately, the four major civilizations, which had been secretly preparing for hundreds of years, joined forces to attack the Orion arm.

At this time, all civilizations discovered that the four major civilizations had secretly formed so many fleets, and their overall number was almost more than thirty times that of the Star Sea Federation.

Then came the so-called Ten Years War.

In that decade, the four major civilizations frantically attacked the city, and the Star Sea Federation also resisted stubbornly, and the remaining two major fleets, plus some of the remaining regular fleets, also caused a great obstacle to the four major civilizations.

For a full decade, the four civilizations did not even win a single war, but in the end, the Federation lost the war.

It's a strange thing, but it's happening.

In terms of single ships, there is no doubt that the Star Sea Federation is stronger, and in terms of fleet combat power, it is also the Star Sea Federation that is stronger.

Even if the number is less than that of the other party, the fleet of the Star Sea Federation can still defeat the enemy, and even several times, there is obviously a difference of five or six times the number of troops, but the Star Sea Federation still wins.

However, this victory did not come without a price.

Take the most famous Floodlight Star World War as an example, the number of Federation warships stationed here at that time was 5,000, and the scale of warships attacked by the four major civilizations directly reached 30,000.

Originally, no one thought that the Star Sea Federation had any chance in this battle of the Floodlight Star System.

But the result?

The Star Sea Federation has won!

But the price of this win was not small, and in the end less than 300 of the 5,000 warships remained.

This is the reason why the Star Sea Federation can win every battle, but in the end it still loses the war.

The thirty-fold gap in military strength was really not something that the Federation could make up for at that time.

If the Loulan fleet is still there, it will naturally be a good deal, but it's a pity...

In the end, after thousands of battles broke out in large and small battles, the Star Sea Federation finally exhausted ninety percent of its combat power, and only the solar system remained in its territory.

Of course, the four major civilizations are not comfortable, and by the time they hit the solar system, there were only more than 30,000 warships left.

But no matter how miserable it is, it wins in the end, doesn't it?

After that, basically everyone knows.

When the alliance of the four civilizations invaded the solar system, that strange thing happened...

So, in essence, the four major civilizations are also currently at the weakest time in history.

Otherwise...

They don't need so many subordinate civilizations to participate in it for the sake of an Orion arm.

Isn't it good to grasp all the benefits in your own hands?

It's good, but it doesn't have the strength!

Take the Kairui Empire as an example, at present, all the warships in the entire empire add up, and there are only more than 20,000 warships, which is almost only 30% of the heyday.

Most of these troops have to be deployed in the headquarters and in the Silver Heart Passage.

After all, because of the existence of the Star Sea Federation, the four major civilizations would join forces.

But when the Star Sea Federation collapsed, they immediately changed from allies to rivalries.

Don't look at the surface, everyone is still friendly, but who is not the embankment?

As for the other three major civilizations, they are basically in this state.

That's why Kyle is more wary of humans.

He always had a feeling that humanity was secretly rising rapidly, and if he didn't do everything to eradicate it now, it would be too late.

As for the Zerg, although there are some threats, they are not enough to threaten the foundation of the empire.

But the top of the empire had already decided so, and he couldn't go against it.

You can only be...

Solve those bug problems as soon as possible!

"How's the investigation on the Death Nebula?"

He sighed slightly in his heart, and immediately asked his adjutant.

"Still exploring outside the passage!"

"It's been two months since the passage was discovered, what are those guys doing?"

"According to the report, those scientists believe that they can't venture directly without knowing the depth of the passage, so..."

"!!"

The lieutenant was halfway through his sentence when he was directly interrupted by Kyle.

Scientists of the Empire and the other three civilizations, Kyle knows too well.

It's an easy thing to solve, but they can always make it complicated.

Take the passage discovered this time as an example, obviously you only need to arrange some unmanned aerial vehicles, and then jump into the passage along the passage.

For example, if you jump a light-year, and if you succeed, you can jump another light-year.

And if it fails, then change it to half a light year and experiment again.

With this method, it is possible to complete a rough measurement in a short period of time, and then make more detailed measurements based on this rough result.

The problem is solved.

But the logic of those scientists is very strange, they think that using this kind of untechnical method is very unrequiting.

As Imperial scientists, it is natural to obtain results by more advanced, more complex, and purely scientific means.

That's how important they are, and what they're capable of, isn't it?

Thereupon...

That's the result now.

Two months later, the survey fleet was still wandering outside the passage, and I didn't know what it was doing all day.

In short...

No progress!
