Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Plan
No one here is a fool, but those who can sit in this position must have the responsibility to sit in this position. There are many things in this world that cannot be operated by principles and principles alone.
Human nature is like sand, all people understand that when countless sand and gravel form a boundless desert, they can swallow everything in the world, but when the wind blows called "profit" and "desire", there are still countless yellow sand rising with the wind.
Only when the hands called "crisis" and "extinction" hold the yellow sand tightly will they be united, but even so, there are still a few yellow sand quietly falling between the fingers.
Human nature, as the number of people increases, becomes exponentially complex.
None of the people present were stupid, but everyone understood that none of the four conditions mentioned by Jeffrey could be easily achieved, and the most critical of them was the first one.
It is not so easy for a united federation to break up. And once it is divided, it is even more difficult to reorganize.
The federation has just been divided for ten years, and it can be said that all the forces have just formed all their political power, military, people's livelihood, popular support, diplomacy and other aspects. Now it is necessary to reunify again, not to mention whether the people at the top are willing to give up the rights that have just been obtained and have not yet been warmed up, or whether the civilian people are willing to do so.
Everyone fell silent, and for a moment no one could make a decision on Jeffrey's proposal.
"I need to go back and discuss this matter with His Majesty the King and the members of the Diet, but in any case, our alliance still exists, and I think we should start working on the last three points now! Even if it is a little less efficient, it is always better to move than not to move!" Zuo Xin was silent for a long time. The first opening.
"That's what I mean, and I'll convene a great council as soon as I get back. We can come to a preliminary conclusion in a week at the latest, but before that, we will first conduct an investigation of all the large and small organizations in Plashi!
"It seems that things can only be done for the time being. A survey will also be conducted by the Faculty Alliance. At the same time, we will be responsible for the liaison on the Oriental side. We'll get to them and explain the situation, and even if it doesn't lead to the best outcome, at least a unified coalition should be fine!" said Sana in the third.
Jeffrey didn't speak. Because the Freedom Alliance does not have a fixed territory, they themselves are part of the Academy Alliance, and the reason why they are divided separately is entirely because of Jeffrey's personal reputation, don't look at the Freedom Alliance, which has a fleet of half an army, but the logistics of their entire fleet are all in the hands of the Academy Alliance. One-third of its fleet members are also from the Academy Alliance.
So the Liberal Alliance is essentially part of the Academy Alliance. Militarily, the Liberal Alliance was quite antagonistic, but politically, there was a deep tacit understanding between the two sides from the very beginning. That is, advancing and retreating together.
Since Sana has made a statement, of course Jeffrey will not have any opinion.
"So how do we do the research of the brood? How many parties will work together? But where is the brood?" Zuo Xin raised the most sensitive topic at this time, except for the great unification.
Everyone knows how much benefit the research of the brood will bring, and this benefit is likely to become a powerful voice in the future of the great unification.
"Where are you going to put it?" Andrew, who seemed to have a little relaxation in the relationship just now, looked at General Tiger God with mocking eyes at this time: "Do you want to show off the territory of the Duchy? Speaking of military strength, maybe you are strong, but scientific research strength ......"
Indeed, the Principality of Xiyao, which was formed with the original military forces, is indisputably the first among all forces in military terms, but its scientific research strength is much weaker.
If you want to talk about the strength of scientific research, it is naturally the academy alliance. The first in the Heavenly Star is the ability reward, and the second most is all kinds of scientific researchers.
Bai Yungongzi sneered. Originally, he was ready to quarrel with General Tiger God again, but Zuo Xin shook his head: "The Principality of Xiyao is not suitable for this task. It is important to understand that the study of the brood can be very beneficial, but it can also be very dangerous. The swarm won't let a second-level brood be studied casually, and there's a good chance they'll come and grab it or destroy it!"
That is to say. Where's this brood, is it the same as summoning a huge swarm of insects for that place?"
Zuo Xin nodded: "Everyone understands people, so I won't talk around the bend." Joint research is inevitable, but the question of where exactly the brood is stored is a key one. It's not that you can put it in one place and send heavy troops to protect it. In the current situation. None of us will be completely assured that the others will have heavy troops in their own star fields. ”
"What's more, in the event of a major war, we have to prepare for the destruction of the entire star system, so the place we chose from the beginning had to be a remote, unimportant, and desolate place. But this place must be convenient for us to send troops to protect, and to facilitate retreat when we can't do anything. ”
Jeffrey nodded at this time: "What Zuo Xin said makes sense. I don't think there are too many places like this, what can you think of?"
"We have a star system over there that fits these conditions very well, the N-375 star system, with four planets, one solid planet, three gas planets, no habitable sites, used to be used as a resource development point, and now it is completely deserted!"
"But the Bose particles of this star system are quite active, and there are many hops, which can facilitate our entry and retreat. At the same time, this place is next to the border of the Academy Alliance, which is convenient for them to send scientific researchers over. Andrew thought about it for a while and then chose a place.
Zuo Xin shook his head again: "The Duchy of Xiyao and Prashi are not suitable for the location!"
Andrew frowned: "I hope you give me a reasonable explanation." Don't ...... Hmph!"
Obviously, there is no reasonable explanation, and Bai Yungongzi is about to go berserk.
Zuo Xin said plainly and solemnly: "Because of the location of our two families, most of the territory of our two families is located in the mouthpiece of the star map, which is the most unloseable territory except for the central star field, including any star system in our territory. ”
"If we lose any of the star systems, the swarm will likely be able to use that one star system as a pedal. Cut off both ends of the star map, how much harm this will bring, you should be clear!"
Andrew didn't speak now, he really didn't think it through just now.
"Then the only places to choose from are the Orientals and our Northwest Star Sector. But for some of the problems of the Orientals, I think we are the only ones to choose, right?"
Look at me, people. I look at you, and I can't find a more suitable place for a while.
On the one hand, the scientific research strength of the Academy Alliance is the strongest, and on the other hand, the characteristics of the Student Alliance are neutral, and their characteristics make it impossible for them to completely fall to any force, but can only remain neutral, so relatively speaking, they are the most reassuring forces of other forces.
In addition, this time the alliance is also led by the Academy Alliance, which can be regarded as an invisible leader.
But the question is, where to put it?
The Academy Alliance has a natural weakness, and that is the lack of air defense forces. Once the swarm is provoked, even if the swarm is defeated in the end, the damage will be staggering and even catastrophic.
"Thousand Domains Plain!" Xiao Ming, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Everyone was stunned, some people were searching for information about the Thousand Domains Plain in their memories, and some people were thinking about why Xiao Ming chose there.
Team Zero was the first to react. There is a mysterious and powerful Yehuang in the Thousand Domains Plain, even if it can't take action in person, if it can send those super-level star beasts under its command. It's also a good combat power. On the other hand, there is a hidden danger waiting to be solved.
Feng Daopei cast an inquiring look at Xiao Ming. After getting the other party's nod, he almost understood.
Others may still care about Xiao Ming's current strength and identity, but Suanna has no scruples at all, she looked at Xiao Ming: "Boy, explain it, what's going on?"
"The first is the terrain. The Plains of the Thousand Domains relied on a large fragmented star belt and a dark nebula. Those places are not conducive to the swarm spreading out the sea of insects, which is good for us. Second, it is also a choke point in the Northwest Star Zone, and we can deploy heavy troops to guard it without affecting our original defense system!"
"Third. The Plains of the Thousand Domains still has some troubles to deal with, and my gut tells me that this could be an opportunity. Fourth, and most crucially, we don't have a better choice, we don't have much time, and we shouldn't waste time on such boring arguments!"
Xiao Ming's EQ is not very high, and it can almost be said to be zero when converted into political IQ. Feng Daopei and the others can understand Zuo Xin's helplessness in fighting for them, but he will only feel bored and meaningless.
And this guy is a straight gut, either he doesn't say it, and he won't have any politeness when he says it, and a sentence makes several people, including Suanna, extremely embarrassed.
However, several people present had dealt with Xiao Ming, and they had some friendships, and they understood what was going on with this guy, so no one was angry, but everyone shook their heads and smiled bitterly helplessly. For this guy who is almost a martial idiot, there are some things that really can't be explained.
"General Zuo Xin, I have a few suggestions!" Xiao Ming didn't seem to plan to stop as soon as he spoke, and before the embarrassment of everyone subsided, he spoke again.
"Huh?"
"I hope that you and Plashi will form a fleet of at least two armies, and then the headmaster will take you to the Eastern Star District, and then to the Lake of the Ghost Domain!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
You must know that in the current timeline, the swarm has not yet done anything to the lake of the ghost domain, and that special area composed of antimatter is a death zone, and no one will want to go there except for some scientific research organizations.
Not to mention that it is in the territory of the Orientals, and it is estimated that only Xiao Ming dares to have this idea when he runs to the territory of the Orientals with the fleets of the two group armies.
Xiao Ming was not shocked by everyone, and continued to say to himself: "When I erased the consciousness of the brood, I read some of its memories. The Lake of the Ghost Domain will be the key to the swarm's next move, and it seems that there is a very important existence for the swarm. ”
"I think everyone should understand the significance of the inscription action three hundred years ago, so although I can't give any solid evidence for this news, I hope you believe me!"
Of course, Xiao Ming didn't read something from Beerus's memory, he did read some important information in Beerus's memory, but it had nothing to do with the Lake of the Ghost Domain. Everything about the Lake of Ghosts is a memory of the original timeline.
The reason why I mentioned it at this time was because Xiao Ming really had a considerable intuition of crisis, and this intuition made him extremely wary of the area that was still silent in the current timeline.
Of course, everyone knew about the stele carving operation, and there was not a Hydra who participated in it on the edge of the fleet, and the human race also knew about the swarm level for the first time after the stele's operation, and there was a kind of "king" in it, a higher-level existence above the brood.
Another significance of the stele carving action is that the seals of these "insect kings" have completely exceeded the imagination of human beings themselves, and before that, no one would believe that there are any creatures that can survive in a white dwarf. I even understood that at the end of the dark age of the Star Beasts, the Star Beast Kings used a power beyond the imagination of humans to seal these Worm Kings.
Therefore, although everyone's first reaction was how could there be living beings in the lake of the ghost domain, no, not only living beings, I am afraid that any positive matter cannot exist, it is a treacherous area composed of antimatter.
But when they heard Xiao Ming mention the inscription action, everyone knew it again in their hearts. Since there can be a worm king in the white dwarf, who can guarantee that there are no ghosts in the lake of the ghost domain?
"I will report this matter to the king, and I can assure you that this matter will be carried out in the shortest possible time!" said Zuo Shin Zhengse.
Andrew also chimed in: "Prashi will also prepare the fleet as soon as possible!"
"Boy, listen to you, don't you plan to go back to the East Star District?"
"I want to go back to Heavenly Star, the brood will be escorted by me personally, if I encounter an attack by the swarm, when I can't do anything, I can activate the self-destruct ability of the brood and pull the entire swarm to blow itself up. This is the last line of insurance, but I must be in the brood to activate this ability!" Xiao Ming looked serious.
Suanna narrowed her eyes, she knew Xiao Ming very well, and knew that the other party's words were not true, but she didn't ask any further: "So, what else do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other, the general policy had been decided, and all that remained was the internal meeting of the various forces, and then the action was carried out step by step. (To be continued.) )
