Walk alone in the abyss

"Big Victory".

When Yang Ming saw the title of this headline, he had mixed feelings.

How did you win a big victory?

Luofeng's third, fourth, and sixth fleets lost more than 150 ships, more than 40 main battleships, and 63,042 soldiers.

Here is death, not casualties.

The party that failed in the warship bombardment had no chance of boarding the rescue cabin at all.

In this battle, the Fourth Fleet, which Gudun Maha originally controlled, suffered the most damage.

Almost scrapped!

If it weren't for the fact that the sixth fleet is also under the control of Gu Dun Maha at this stage, Gu Dun Maha would become the weakest warlord in Luofeng.

More than 7,000 people were killed or injured by the royal guard, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

More than 16,000 civilians were killed or injured, which was a statistic that Yang Ming did not expect, but fortunately, most of the injured were injured.

Yang Ming clicked on the title of the article and took a look. There were praises and praises everywhere, which made it clear that it was a circular issued by the royal family.

He picked up his watch and made a voice call.

"Boss," Lu Qinglie's voice sounded, "Please give me instructions."

"Remove the headline for me! Change the title to "National Calamity"! Edit the pictures of the soldiers who died on the battlefield and put the pictures of the victims who were killed!"

Yang Ming scolded:

"Singing and dancing to make peace! A bunch of noble waste!"

"Yes, boss."

The voice hangs up immediately.

In the prison car escorting Yang Ming, several heavily armed prison guards looked at each other in blank dismay.

They don't know the specific details of this war yet, and they are just here to carry out the task at this moment, to pick up a "prisoner who must not have any offensive behavior" and go to their prison to serve his sentence.

The original military prison on Ilando has been abandoned.

——Military personnel who have not committed a crime will be imprisoned on Ilanduo.

The prison Yang Ming was sent to was an ordinary prison located on the outskirts of Ilando City. A sign was temporarily hung on the ground floor of the prison, and it was changed into the Ilanduo Military Prison.

He will be the only prisoner on this level.

In the prison car that was sliding smoothly, a prison guard couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Sir, what did you do?"

Yang Ming smiled: "Disobedience on the battlefield."

"That's not right to shoot... oh, sorry sir."

"It's okay, my relationship is harder."

Yang Ming shrugged his shoulders, raised his legs and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

At this stage, the internal and external environment of Ellanduo is extremely complicated.

The space battle ended ten hours ago, the palace cannon fired only one shot, and the Seventh Fleet of the New Federation paid a painful price of twenty-five warships.

Of course, being able to string candied haws is also due to the constant mobilization of the layout, forcing the enemy ships into a narrow area.

This super-large anti-ship planetary gun has no chance of firing a second shot.

The New Federation's Seventh Expeditionary Fleet desperately broke through, and the Ninth Expeditionary Fleet spared no effort to tear a hole in the defense line of the Sherman Empire Expeditionary Corps.

In this battle, the Seventh Fleet Regiment of the New Federation lost 80 to 90 warships of various types, and the Ninth Fleet Regiment lost 25 warships. It is estimated that the number of soldiers lost by the New Federation reached 86,000.

The Sherman Imperial Expeditionary Fleet lost more than 40 warships and 32,524 soldiers.

It was indeed a big victory, but a big victory for the Sherman Empire.

Likewise, this is the most humiliating defeat of the New Federation in recent decades.

This war is not over, it has just changed from warship bombardment to a fight for the right to speak internationally.

The Sherman Empire hyped the 'Battle of Luofeng' within the empire.

The 721 Expeditionary Corps created a major victory rarely seen in recent years. Even His Majesty the Emperor was alarmed, and a public award was about to be given.

This is the opportunity for Luofeng.

Law and Edwan's intelligence team worked at full capacity, with the core keywords of "the Luofeng fleet suffered heavy losses" and "the victory was based on the heroic fighting of the Sherman soldiers and the fearless sacrifice of the Luofeng soldiers" as the core keywords. The empire creates public opinion in order to reap more benefits in the future.

Under Yang Ming's arrangement, Lu sorted out relevant information on the battlefield as quickly as possible;

Edwan urgently contacted the officials of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau and gave a mature diplomatic attack plan.

Before the New Federation came to its senses, a diplomatic offensive and defensive battle that spread to more than half of the Milky Way kicked off.

As the invaded, Luofeng led the twenty or so younger brothers from the Sherman Empire camp, and began to criticize the new federation's 'invasion war'.

The New Federation quickly began to counterattack, constantly controlling and guiding public opinion, beautifying itself as an anti-terrorist operation, and discrediting the Luofeng Empire as a petri dish for terrorists.

Luofeng's diplomatic team tried hard to reason, using the more popular social software and portals in the galaxy to continuously release a series of evidence.

The main evidences are:

The trajectory of the new federal agent who launched the terrorist attack, related surveillance video, the implementation process of the entire terrorist attack plan, and the video of the agent’s life in the new federal territory;

The direct attack of the new federal attack boat on the old emperor in the speech, the fleet commander issued a clear 'fire' order;

Prisoners of the new Federation ground forces dropped by the fleet recounted the orders they had been given.

Among them, the most passive evidence for the New Federation is the picture of the New Federation ground forces killing civilians.

The most ugly evidence for the new federation—the Luofeng palace cannon bombarded and killed the new federation's long-distance fleet.

The video of this cannon has gone viral all over the galaxy.

The Luofeng Empire became famous in no time.

The diplomatic offensive and defensive battle actually did not last for several hours.

Seeing that the New Federation was about to fail in an all-round way, the New Federation used their trump card.

title.

They began to delete relevant information on a large scale, directly purifying the galaxy network.

The official account of Luofeng Empire was banned;

Millions of ordinary accounts in Luofeng were banned.

On the interstellar network, Luofeng was directly covered with his mouth.

Facts have proved that the citizens of the new federation are not freedom fighters. When their national reputation and interests are damaged, most of them remain silent, and a small part continue to justify and smear.

Seven hours after the war broke out, the Luofeng Empire formally sued the New Federation in the Galactic Interstellar Court.

This lawsuit will definitely not have any results, but it can make Luofeng stand firm.

This righteousness will enable the Luofeng Empire to receive spiritual support from most of the small and medium-sized countries in the interstellar world, and it will also be able to obtain more material support from the Sherman Empire.

As for Luofeng's country, the crowd is already raging now, and anti-new federal demonstrations have broken out everywhere.

Although the turbulent public opinion has added many unstable factors, in Yang Ming's view, this is at least a hundred times stronger than the indifference and numbness of the people, and it is more conducive to his follow-up actions.

At this moment, Yang Ming was thinking about two main problems in the prison car.

One is how to deal with the aftermath and let the military fleet under his control recover blood quickly.

The other is how to deal with the captives of the new federation.

'This group of captives must not stay in Luofeng. '

Yang Ming's eyes became sharper.

The prison guards on the opposite side were inexplicably flustered.

Yang Ming thought for a while, took out the shielding device, wrapped himself in the sound-proof light curtain, and used the special communication method of the watch to make a video call to Edwang.

Edwan was on a spaceship, probably on his way back to Ellandor.

"Ming, I'm going to save you right now!"

Edwan frowned and said:

"Don't worry, if the military doesn't agree to release you, I'll have my father sign the pardon.

"You are the hero who saved this country! The first shot will be recorded in the history of Luofeng!"

Yang Ming said: "No, I want to spend some time in the prison and think about life and philosophy."

Edwan was at a loss for words.

The second prince looked haggard at the moment, and his eyes were full of tiredness.

"Ed Wang," Yang Ming asked in a low voice, "You know what you should do now, right?"

"Mourning the dead, comforting the soldiers, and encouraging the people," Edwan said in a low voice, "I will try my best to provide as much material help as possible to the families of the fallen soldiers, and I will also build a martyr's cemetery."

"No," Yang Ming said, "You are going back to the Sherman Empire now."

"Why?"

"Compress what you should do, such as mourning and pensions, into a TV speech as much as possible, and leave the rest to your subordinates. No matter how rewarding you are, it is better to give more pensions and arrange social welfare. The agency takes care of their family."

Yang Ming reminded:

"Take those captives, as well as the captured New Federation attack boats, and send them to Sherman as gifts... Which Sherman aristocrat who is so brave will refuse to capture the New Federation military emblem? Don't forget , the Sherman Empire still retained slavery in some areas."

"Oh, this..."

Edwan hesitated.

Yang Ming said quickly:

"The only way to stop the New Confederacy from continuing to attack us is for the Sherman Empire to exert strong pressure on them.

"How can you guarantee that the new Federation will not directly retaliate against us by force again? Even if they are afraid of the cannons under the palace and dare not come to Ilanduo, what about our other administrative stars?"

"Okay, I'm going to prepare a TV speech right away!"

Edwan whispered:

"Earl Williams left two formations to guard nearby, and I'll go get in touch with them."

"Leave the dozens of captured special forces members," Yang Ming said, "I will execute them secretly after interrogating them."

Edwan said: "It's up to you to decide. I'll ask General Fremont to contact you directly later."

Yang Ming paused, and then said: "I have ordered Gu Dun Maha to put your brother under house arrest. Since he likes the second administrative star, let him stay there. Next, I will integrate the Luofeng military. , the methods will be somewhat bloody, and there is no need for those generals who watched the battle to continue to exist."

Edwan stared at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming looked at Edwan calmly.

Soon, Edwan frowned and asked, "Do you want to be emperor? Ming?"

"We know each other well, and our goals at this stage should be the same," Yang Ming smiled, "We are all the same, we are not interested in the throne."

Edwan smiled wryly.

He also didn't know how Yang Ming did it.

But now, the reins around the country's neck are clearly in Yang Ming's hands.

Yang Ming was about to hang up the communication.

Edwan suddenly asked: "By the way, my father seems to be unable to control the cannons under the palace... So what's going on?"

Yang Ming blinked: "That should be an automatic counterattack device, I don't know much about this anti-ship system, it should be that its system detects a huge threat and then fires automatically, a gift from your ancestors to this country. "

"Father might dig up the mountain, and he really will."

"Don't worry," Yang Ming said sternly, "His Majesty can't find anyone who can help him with this job. You should quickly think about how to mourn the dead."

"Oh, may their spirits rest in peace."

Yang Ming sighed lightly, hung up the communication, and put the brooch-sized shielding device back into his pocket.

The prison guards opposite him had put the laser guns behind their backs at this moment, and when they saw Yang Ming looking over, they immediately showed a somewhat flattering smile.

Of course the prison guards didn't hear what Yang Ming said just now.

But they saw the projection of His Highness Edwan, and the expressions of both sides when Yang Ming spoke to His Highness Edwan.

Is this young officer a confidant of His Royal Highness Edwan?

But judging from the changes in their expressions during the conversation, His Royal Highness Edwan was at a loss for words several times and showed helplessness on his face. The young officer in front of him has always been calm and full of confidence.

When getting out of the car, the prison guard quickly opened the door.

Just as they were about to inform the warden, there was a sudden sound of stomping feet in front of them.

Two platoons of guards saluted in front.

Lieutenant Colonel Ace stood in front of him helplessly, and when he saw Yang Ming, he smiled a little.

"Oh, my old officer," Yang Ming sighed in a slightly exaggerated tone, "I didn't expect you to welcome me here."

Lieutenant Colonel Ace said in a low voice: "This may be the most outrageous order I have ever received in my life."

"What order?"

"General Fremont asked me to accompany you to jail," Lieutenant Colonel Ace smiled wryly, "I will be on duty here for the next six months and protect you all the way."

Yang Ming looked at Ace's bitter face, couldn't help laughing a few times, and stepped forward to hook the noble lieutenant colonel's shoulders.

"This is not a bad job. Believe me, you will fall in love with this place within half a month... Where is the warden?"

"In the back, do you want him to come over?"

Yang Ming said with a smile: "I have a decoration plan here, and ask him to decorate the bottom floor for me within a week. Of course, I won't let him spend money."

Lieutenant Colonel Ace asked in a low voice: "Is it true? You ordered your star cruiser to fire first? Now this news is spreading wildly in the military."

"Otherwise why would I come here to serve my sentence?"

"Oh, you are really... this is crazy, that is the Armada of the New Federation!"

"Invincible? They have already lost."

Yang Ming pouted slightly:

"Soon there will be a powerful fleet in Luofeng. And Lieutenant Colonel Ace, do you know?"

"Um?"

"In my opinion, what this country lacks the most is not advanced equipment, but the courage to face the strong."

Yang Ming patted Ace on the shoulder:

"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. This is the only reason why we can win this time with difficulty."

Lieutenant Colonel Ace was stunned, watching Yang Ming's back as he slowly moved forward.

His figure formed a strong color contrast with the gray prison gate in front of him, which slightly touched the nerves of Lieutenant Colonel Ace.

Yang Ming: ...

Watching more TV shows is also good.

At least you can use your lines to cook some poisonous chicken soup.

...

half a day later.

Edwan started his post-war speech, and the ratings of the speech reached a terrifying figure, half of the people in the Luofeng Empire directly watched the speech.

Ilando star began to build the martyr's cemetery and war memorial park.

two days later.

The Sherman Empire began a military exercise called Deterrence.

Twelve long-distance fleets, 1,600 warships of various types, and two dreadnoughts appeared in front of the new federal border monument, with their guns aimed at the new federal border.

The new federation chose to avoid war.

The military power of the empire is unmatched for a moment.

Three days later, the Sherman Empire announced to the public that the third heir to the throne would lead a mission to visit the Luofeng Empire, and the Sherman Empire would give Luofeng a batch of semi-decommissioned main warships for free.

The two sides plan to re-sign a military alliance contract. If Luofeng is attacked, the Sherman Empire Legion will unconditionally support it.

This is the value of this battle.

However, Yang Ming, who was sitting leisurely reading the newspaper in the single cell, encountered several new troubles one after another.

"The Valkyrie was arrested, boss... Also, the old emperor has already made up his mind to summon you, and it should be to pardon you. This is completely contrary to our plan."

Yang Ming had a headache: "Lü, isn't there any good news?"

"Mrs. Saruer was dismissed. The New Federation gave up its plan to target Luofeng, and withdrew the remaining agents in Luofeng, leaving only part of the intelligence personnel."

"Made! To deal with these Federals, the cannon is still effective! When they say we have weapons of mass destruction, we better really have them!"

Yang Ming waved away the electronic newspaper in his hand.

"Report to me the news from Valkyrie's side in detail."
