Chapter 81: Escalation of the War
The news that the flames of war have pushed back into the territory of the Jialan Empire, and even the four major star fields in the north are now paralyzed has caused an uproar within the Jialan Empire, and even the surrounding civilizations can't help but look sideways at this group of mud-legged people in the Chaos Domain after learning the news.
The first star of the Jialan Empire, the House of Representatives.
Eric Jialan's narrow eyes swept around the crowd, and his tone was gloomy.
"Aren't you usually very active, why are you dumb now?"
Listening to Eric Jialan's words, everyone remained silent without a word.
It's only been a week since the war began, and not only has the defense line of this undercurrent domain not been breached, but now the war has burned into the territory of the empire, who would dare to take the blame at this time?
Looking at the silent crowd, Eric Jialan's face was gloomy, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Even if you do it now, hurry up and come up with a measure."
After losing contact with the four northern star fields, Eric Jialan immediately sent someone to find out the news, but he was shocked by the news that only came back.
In less than two days, the entire four northern star fields have been eroded, the overall fleet has lost more than half, and the most important thing is that all the jump orbits and jump star gates have been destroyed, and I don't know how long it will take to rebuild.
Had it not been for the commander-in-chief of the fleet at the front line to immediately return to the rear and strangle the enemy who had been destroyed everywhere, the losses would have been even more serious.
But now that the four major star fields in the north have been eroded, the traffic is paralyzed, all kinds of materials and personnel can no longer support the needs of the front line, and the enemy fleet that has to guard against sabotage from time to time is no longer able to maintain the offensive, and now the fleet of the Jialan Empire has retreated to the border and turned from offensive to defensive.
Listening to Eric Jialan's words, one of the councillors frowned and said, "Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, our enemies, the Northern Alliance and the VVV Alliance, have a total fleet of only more than fifty fleets, and although they are all strengthened fleets, the maximum number of pilots is only 30,000.
But since the beginning of the war, we have destroyed more than 30,000 enemy ships and more than 10,000 pilots on the front line, so it can be said that the enemy's fleet deployed on the front line is already complete.
But now the number of enemies attacking the Northern Star Domain has exceeded 150,000, where did this enemy come from so many fleets?"
Hearing this, Eric Jialan immediately reacted, and asked with a frown, "Are you saying that other civilizations may be involved in this matter?"
The councillor nodded silently.
Because of its special geographical location, the Domain of Chaos has also become a concentration of pirates, mercenaries and even wanted objects of various civilizations, so the number of battleship pilots among them is unique, exceeding 500,000.
But even if the Northern Alliance replaced the Star Cell family as the new overlord, its fleet has never been expanded at all, and the number of fleets has remained at thirty.
As a pirate force without territory, the VVV Alliance has only twenty fleets until now.
Even if these fifty reinforced main fleets (a fleet of 500 warships) plus other scattered fleets, the total number of people would not exceed 30,000, but now there are more than 150,000 enemy ships raging in the Northern Star Field, where did these enemies come from? ….
This forced them to look suspiciously at the surrounding civilizations.
After all, this time, the Jialan Empire attacked the Undercurrent Domain and the Chaos Domain with such fanfare, although the surrounding civilizations did not block it on the surface because of the reason, but these civilizations definitely did not want to see the Jialan Empire control such two important star fields, so it is not surprising that they support the Northern Alliance and the VVV Alliance behind their backs.
Thinking of this, the parliamentarians of the Jialan Empire all frowned, if this speculation is true, then this war will undoubtedly escalate, and they will have to face the alliance of several or even dozens of civilizations, which is very bad for the Jialan Empire!
Looking at the House of Representatives, Eric Jialan's heart couldn't help but move, and then he slapped the table and said with an angry face: "Regardless of whether there is the support of other civilizations behind this war, we must fight it!"
At present, we have already paid such a great price, and if we stop here, it will definitely suffer a great loss to the prestige and interests of the empire, which we cannot accept!
The war must go on!"
"Your Majesty, if the speculation is true, then ......."
"Don't worry." Eric Jialan waved his hand and replied with great certainty: "Even if there is really a shadow of other civilizations behind this, at most, they will send a small fleet or provide combat readiness support, and they dare not show it in a big way.
At most, they can only use all kinds of means to disgust and disgust us, and they don't dare to really declare war on the Empire!
All we have to do is cut off their outstretched hand, and when they know what it hurts, they'll give up."
The implication is that these civilizations only dare to fight proxy wars at most, and they do not dare to officially start a war.
So as long as the war continues and everything is swept away with the power of thunder, the victory still belongs to the empire, and all losses can be recovered.
Listening to Eric Jialan's suggestion, the parliamentarians discussed a lot and finally made a decision.
That is to increase investment and continue the war!
The main battleships of the Jialan Empire exceeded one million, and they decided to leave the necessary defensive fleet, and all the other fleets were drawn into the war, and it is expected that they will continue to invest 500,000 into the battlefield!
At the same time, in order to prevent the surrounding civilians and dogs from jumping over the wall, the Jialan Empire also entered a state of first-level combat readiness, and began to recall retired soldiers to train with the reserve to prepare for a large-scale war.
......
"Hehe, what an unexpected surprise!"
Shi Man couldn't help grinning after receiving the information that the Jialan Empire had made a decision.
He never imagined that the Jialan Empire would think that the 160,000 clone warriors who carried out the 'Scorched Earth Project' were the handiwork of other civilizations, and make such a move.
It is true that these clone pilots do not belong to the Northern Alliance and the VVV Alliance, because these clone pilots exist as a legion unit and do not join the Alliance.
After all, this chaotic domain is not big or small, and there have been various conflicts and grievances between various forces in the past.
Although everyone now belongs to the New Eden order, this grievance will not be resolved so easily, and it is impossible to be so willing to accept the command of the alliance leadership.
In addition, this new Eden technology library is open to all clone pilots, and is not monopolized by the two major alliances, so many legions that join New Eden choose to continue to maintain their original establishment and go it alone, rather than joining the Northern Alliance and the VVV Alliance.
In addition, the industrial cluster directly under New Eden is also open to all clone pilots, and at most they will pay a little fee, so this also makes them even less considerate of joining the two alliances.
After all, they only need to ensure their loyalty to Shi Man and New Eden, and they also have the two major alliances, although they have no say in some things, but they are also more free.
And Shi Man is also happy to see this, after all, this is also in line with his plan for the future of New Eden, he does not need a monopoly alliance, what he needs is a hundred flowers to bloom, in order to ensure the vitality and combat effectiveness of New Eden.
