Provincial hospital special ward.

After a day and a night of rest, Grena finally regained two points of her spirit.

She stared at the baby who was sleeping beside her without blinking, and her face rose with unprecedented tenderness, as if she could spend all her years with peace of mind just like that.

At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and the sleeping baby moved slightly, and Grena quickly reached out and gently stroked the baby's little hand, and then glanced at the sunny Croze with some displeasure.

The pheromones were quietly released, but Kroze laughed and lowered his voice: "A too quiet environment is not conducive to the growth of the baby, and the baby's sleeping environment does not need to be so quiet." ”

"Nonsense."

"Look, isn't he awake?" Kreuz set up the multipurpose table for her, and after putting the exclusive maternity meal on the table, he sat down on the edge of the other bed and motioned for Grena to eat first.

Grena frowned, but cautiously sat up and began to eat.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, you eat first."

Greena nodded and filled her stomach with the maternity meal as fast as she could, but Croze did not leave after cleaning up the dishes, but looked at Grena quietly.

Grena, who was turning her head to stare at the baby, felt Kroze's gaze, and she turned her head, just in time to meet Kroze's desire to speak.

The sensitivity of a first-time mother made her immediately realize that Croze had something on her mind.

"Do you want to say something very embarrassing?"

"Hmm...... That is true. Kroze sat down again, and after a few seconds of silence, he turned on the projection light curtain in the room.

For the past few days, Greena has been waiting for labor, and she has been resting groggily after giving birth, so she has no idea what is happening in the outside world.

The light curtain fell, and the voices of countless news channels rang out in an instant.

"The combined fleet of this super galaxy group has achieved its first great victory in the enemy's home galaxy, destroying more than 2,000 ......ships of the enemy's main fleet."

"The super battleship Mars showed its might, invincible under the main guns, and the enemy fleet fled in ......"

"The carrier-based aircraft fleet of the USS Mercury played a huge role......"

"At present, the Combined Fleet has successfully controlled the airspace of the Frost Galaxy, and the enemy only has a small force left to assemble on the ground, in a vain attempt to use the mantis arm as a car......"

As the sound of each news channel sounded, scenes of space battles continued to appear, and every flash of light was seen, and the battleships of the legion fell.

Grena gripped the sheets hard, and she looked at Kroze sharply: "Frost Star......"

"Yes, humanity has cleared all fleets in the Frost System, and judging by the livery of the battleship, this should be reinforcements from Base 33, and the chief commander is Mika." Kreuz's expression was calm: "Because the battle ended too quickly, and the humans destroyed the artificial jump device in the first place, the Governor's Agency deployed in the Frost System was unable to leave. ”

Grena's pupils shrank: "Brandy? ”

"Well, Brandy and his subordinates evacuated to the ground of Froststar."

Grena inhaled deeply: "And then? ”

"And ......" Kroze lowered his eyes, and after a few seconds of silence, he whispered, "Nana, you already know...... Humans have orbital ships. ”

"Orbiters are not Star Destroyers!" Grena clenched her fists: "The Frost Star ground also has a defense system, right?" ”

"Frost Star has not only defenses on the ground, but also ground troops. But...... You forget, humanity still has atomic weapons. And...... There are many, many of them...... That's enough to cover the land of Frost Star five times. ”

"So...... I might want to leave for a while. ”

Grena's eyes widened instantly, and she almost subconsciously stood up: "Where are you going?" ”

"Go to Frost Star."

"Don't come back!" In just a moment, Grena almost shouted, "Don't come back! Escape back to your home planet by all means! ”

Kroze was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, a smile appeared on his lips.

He slowly walked over to Grena's side, his hands on her shoulders, his voice softer than ever.

"Silly, how could I not come back."

"There's you here, and our children."

As his voice fell, the baby's cry rang out.

Two days later, Kreuz quietly took off from the tarmac of the provincial hospital on an Earth-Moon commuter ship, and after arriving in Guanghan City, he went to the Taiyue command center to report for two hours, and then took a multi-purpose shuttle ship to set off from the moon to the huge artificial star gate in space.

Arriving in the Frost System, Croze didn't even have time to feel nostalgic for his old place, and the shuttle flew to the Mercury, which was quietly floating in the starry sky.

……

"Mr. Croze, welcome to the Mercury."

Looking at the imperial people in front of him, Rao is Yang Wenzhi had known about it for a long time, and he had already done psychological construction, but when he really saw Kreuzna's iconic spiritual touch and appearance, he still had a feeling that he didn't know how to describe.

In the eyes of the commanders of the former enemy command, this Kreuz is Wang Zhaoming of the Holy Empire, a typical "traitor".

According to the temper of these front-line soldiers, such a role...... It's unsightly.

However, the former enemy command commanded a thousand times, this person is very useful, and the CNY department has put a lot of thought into it...... Don't fool around.

Therefore, Yang Wenzhi had no choice but to pinch his nose and pose a posture of warm welcome.

"Good commander Yang." Croze also learned about the members of the former enemy command on the way here, and after corresponding at this time, they met and greeted each other.

After a brief meeting, Yang Wenzhi arranged Kreuz opposite him, and then got straight to the point: "Mr. Kroze should already know our current situation, right?" ”

"Hmm." Kroze nodded calmly and looked at Yang Wenzhi without squinting: "If the Governor's Mansion doesn't have time to evacuate, then there should be a total of six imperial officials in the entire Governor's Palace, among which the Governor is called Brandy, who commands everything in the entire Frost Galaxy, including the Frost Star Indigenous Civilization." ”

Someone immediately asked, "Can only six people rule a planet?" ”

"Yes." Kreuz nodded: "In fact, in ordinary times, there are not many people in the empire who execute a base, such as Base 31, in addition to CEO Hall, there are seven other executives, two administrators, and two coordinators. Other than that, it's gone - of course, the personnel relations of the servant system also count towards the base. ”

Hearing the word "human relations" come out of Kroze's mouth, everyone suddenly fell silent.

"That'...... Such a big space city, there are only six people living in it? ”

"Of course not, the vast majority of the people in it are indigenous races that serve these six people. As for why less than 100 people can rule over several galaxies, I think everyone must understand the reason behind it. ”

Yang Wenzhi nodded with a smile.

With overwhelming military power in hand, if you are a human being, let alone six people, even one person can govern a galaxy well.

As long as the indigenous people are not treated as human beings, then all kinds of high-pressure policies can be carried out uncontrollably.

Kroze continued, "Frost Star is a very special minion star, it is not only the largest final ship assembly platform at Base 31, but also the only planet that maintains ground armament. ”

Olaf asked curiously: "Why is there such a powerful fleet, and it is necessary to keep ground forces?" ”

"Because ......," Kreuz pursed his lips and pondered his words before explaining, "Because sometimes, a mission doesn't require a planetary destruction strike on the target civilization, but only the destruction of the technological path. ”

"Yo?" Olaf was slightly stunned and laughed out loud: "It means that you will still have some kindness?" But what does this have to do with the ground forces? ”

"The ground forces are used to guarantee the migration of races." Croze pretended not to hear Olaf's taunt, adding: "A civilization can only completely destroy the technological path if it is completely controlled. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and at the same time, the strange meaning in their eyes became stronger.

To say that complete control is nothing more than to take all people away and turn them into slaves, sinners!

Yang Wenzhi bowed slightly: "Then according to your judgment and understanding, what do you think is the probability of the surrender of the Frost Star Indigenous Civilization - I think, you should also know our bottom line and goal." ”

Kroze hummed softly.

In the Taiyue Command Center, he met the Supreme Commander of Taiyue, and also met Ye Ming.

From the mouths of these two men, he received a definite idea of humanity.

It is...... The complete control of the Frost Star is the bottom line of humanity, which cannot be changed in any way, and if the servant civilization of the Frost Star is to resist stubbornly, then the human race can use any attack methods and means - what humans want is the Frost Star to be controlled, not the submission of a certain civilization.

But that doesn't mean that humans won't try other, gentler methods.

For example, persuasion.

"Brandy is a loyal ally of Hall, and he will not betray Hall. And he, in turn, has control over the entire mechanized apparatus of the ground forces...... Therefore, Brandy did not choose to leave, but chose to go down to the ground, he wanted to rely on the ground forces and defense system of Frost Star to drag the energy of the human and buy time for Hall's side. ”

Kroze paused, and his expression became a little serious: "We must remember that the imperial fleet still has an absolute advantage in numbers - human beings can defeat ten with one, but can they defeat one against hundred?" If the fleet supporting the defense of Frost Star is not 2,000 ships, but 20,000 ships, 200,000 ships, will humanity still have a chance to win? ”

"So I'm suggesting that the brandy be dealt with quickly, and then I'll come forward to negotiate and co-opt with the Froststar's native leaders." Kroze looked at Yang Wenzhi with a calm face: "If I try to persuade Brandy to surrender, there is almost no probability of success, not to mention, it will let the empire know my position instantly." In this way, vigilance will be raised and psychological construction will be complete, which will not be conducive to the development of future work. ”

Yang Wenzhi glanced at his colleagues, and everyone's eyes showed a strange look.

This man...... I really want to go to the red flag!

"So how do you say you're going to solve it?" After thinking for a while, Yang Wenzhi immediately agreed with Kroze's judgment: "We don't know where the position of the governor is now. ”

"I know." Kroze exhaled softly.

Yang Wenzhi's eyes froze, and he quickly activated the satellite map.

The human fleet has been surrounding the Frost Star for three days, during which countless letters of surrender have been sent in the past, and in the past, they have released a probe to act as a satellite and start modeling the planet.

It must be said that although the human fleet is invincible in space, it faces a planet...... That's really more than enough to be able to do it.

Even if it is the strongest main gun of the Mars, as long as the enemy hides below 300 meters below the ground, it can basically sit back and relax. And there's an easier way – hide under a tunnel at the bottom of the mountain.

Of course, it's not like humans can't do anything at all.

Not to mention that humans can send an army of robots, they can also use nuclear bombs to wash the ground, and even use second-generation rice grains to continuously throw planetary materials into high-dimensional space, and eventually cause tearing and collapse.

It's just that it takes a long time.

"Here."

The map unfolded, and Kroze, who had long been familiar with the structure and form of human maps, pointed to a certain location on the satellite map almost without much effort.

Yang Wenzhi handed over control of the map to Kreuz.

The map zooms in until it is finally anchored on a snow-capped mountain.

Kreuz didn't stop zooming in on the map after making tactical markers, he directly pulled the scale to the maximum.

And so, a steel fortress that looked so strong appeared right under everyone's noses.

"This fortress is made of steel, but it is only part of the overall defense, the real command center and base of the brandy, in the mountains."

Looking at this very "familiar" base structure, all the commanders present showed a knowing smile.

It seems that the armies of any civilization are the same, and they all build their last bases in the mountains.

Well...... It is understandable that, after all, a rock that is thousands of kilometers thick is stronger and more reliable than any man-made structure.

But after laughing, everyone's expressions became serious again.

Since they all know, such a fortress is the safest......

So...... If you want to attack, it's also extremely difficult.

"It looks like we still have to send in ground troops." After a few seconds of silence, Ikalovich had a constipated expression on his face: "Do you want to pull some tanks over?" ”

"Tanks are too space-consuming, aren't they?"

"What about the all-mechanical troops? But the mechanized units are all light weapons...... Look at the cannon ...... Isn't it true that the mechanical warriors go up to die? ”

"This cannon must be destroyed first, just let the Mars main gun come and give it anything. Besides, if we want to dispatch ground forces, it must be a ground-air coordinated operation, so many warships are in the sky, we can't just shout refueling, right? ”

Yang Wenzhi also frowned, constantly thinking about the plan in his mind.

At this time, Croze suddenly coughed softly.

Yang Wenzhi immediately looked at him.

"Commander-in-Chief Yang, I think...... It is possible to use nuclear bombs. ”

"Huh?" Yang Wenzhi's eyebrows instantly raised: "Nuclear bomb? ”

"Yes, nuclear bombs." Kroze nodded heavily.

"Only a nuclear bomb has enough destructive power and deterrence. While dealing with brandy, it also allows the natives of Frost Star to surrender as soon as possible. ”

"Power makes people obey, and absolute power makes people absolutely obedient."
