Walk alone in the abyss

presence.

Boss Yang was lying on the bed in the medical cabin a little annoyed, thinking about how to improve his sense of existence in this 'conflict'.

Although he didn't need to make a move, it was quite leisurely.

But he was used to the white ghost standing at the center of the conflict, so it was really a bit of a pain in the ass at the moment.

Sister Lu, who was dressed as a nurse, floated beside her, fiddling with some reagents and needles in a decent manner.

Boss Yang glanced at her helplessly, and said calmly, "Make a live broadcast for me."

"Boss, there is no live broadcast now."

Law whispered:

"The fleet of the Empire attacked the fleet of the New Federation, and the Guell Alliance was also dizzy by this sudden situation. They temporarily surrounded the formation of the Sherman Empire and wanted them to give an explanation.

"The new federal government has blown the pot, and the media and various networks are raving about the empire.

"Now people feel that the empire has suffered from Luofeng's side, so it directly uses the mission formation of the new federation to criticize.

"The most amazing thing is that the two diplomats and Congressman Alison of the New Federation escaped unharmed because they were captured by Emilia. The deputy director of the CIA has been confirmed to have died in the Empire's sneak attack. middle.

"Now, the people in the New Federation are agitated and are demanding a declaration of war on the Empire."

"What about the statement from the empire?"

"The Empire is keeping silent."

Law softly groaned a few times:

"According to some of the information I intercepted, they seem to want to claim that this act was a military solo mission of the imperial diplomatic mission, not an order issued by the empire. But now, the entire interstellar is crusading against the empire, and the empire's sneak attack happened objectively and cannot justification, and the New Federation Mission lost two-thirds of its ships."

Yang Ming pondered a few times, causing his brain to spin rapidly.

One thing to say, this 'reason' is too capricious.

This kind of willfulness is mainly manifested in that Li doesn't seem to have a long-term plan, but just thinks that this matter can be done, so he does it directly.

Of course, the current situation is absolutely good for our own side.

"Law, is the fleet ready to ambush the imperial mission?"

"Get ready, boss," Li said softly, "you just need to get the route plan of these ships, they can't make it back to the empire alive... Li just sent me the route plan."

"That's good."

Yang Ming said indifferently: "Remember to let go of a transport ship and let Bligh transfer to this transport ship in advance."

"It's already being arranged."

Yang Ming stared at the glowing ceiling and sighed softly.

The imperial soldiers on those ships didn't know what they were about to face.

But this is a life-and-death struggle.

A galaxy later.

The Sherman Imperial mission formation that had left the Güell Union in a hurry was ambushed by a mysterious fleet at the border of the Güell Union.

In just two galaxy hours, the Sherman Empire attacked the mission formation of the New Federation, causing heavy losses on the side of the New Federation. Immediately afterwards, the mission formation of the Sherman Empire encountered a strong ambush and almost wiped out the entire army.

These two explosive news completely ignited the interstellar network.

This is because of the empire's sneak attack, so the new federation launched a revenge?

However, what was unexpected was that within ten minutes, the New Federation officials spoke out through various channels. The ambush was definitely not done by them, and they reserved the right to pursue responsibility for the empire's sneak attack.

A new hotspot finally appeared in the empire's unified network.

The cloud of war hangs over the heads of the two strongest powers in the galaxy.

...

Sherman Empire, Emperor Star.

Director Ino's mental state is not good.

He had just presided over a series of experiments, but he was called to a meeting again. More than 20 people who attended the meeting were the core of the Sherman family's elite power faction, and the content of the meeting was simply unimaginable...

"Our mission escort fleet in the Guell Union lost control and attacked the nearby New Federation Mission, causing the destruction of two-thirds of the New Federation Mission's ships."

"Then, our mission was ambushed on the way back to the empire. About five minutes ago, the mission's escort fleet was wiped out, and only one transport ship escaped."

"The foreign minister of the new federation is communicating with us, saying that they did not do it."

"The whole thing reveals a strangeness, we seem to have been played."

"What?"

Director Ino frowned and asked, "The fleet is out of control?"

"Yes," an old man said in a deep voice, "here is an in-ship recording at that time."

Immediately there were some noisy sounds in the virtual meeting room:

'damn it! Why are you firing! '

'We got an order from the military! sir! And with your direct orders! '

'My order? I was in a meeting just now! When I was in a meeting, the cabin door was suddenly locked and could not be opened, how could I issue an order to you! '

‘Uh, but...we have wiped out their vital forces...I don’t know why their protective shields failed to open in time, it may be because our ship’s pre-charge is too concealed, and they failed to notice...'

'oh! God! We destroyed them, destroyed them on the territory of the League of Güells! '

‘The main guns of the battleships of the League of Güell’s fleet have begun charging! '

'quick! Send a communication request! '

Sizzle.

The recording stopped abruptly.

The old man continued: "There are two more recordings. One recording is their negotiation with the Guell Alliance. The Guell Alliance allowed the imperial mission to leave temporarily. The other recording is the last message left when they were ambushed. It is backed up by the battleship. The system passed to us."

The second recording is very long, but there is not much effective information. The imperial officers who negotiated with the Guell Alliance did not have much excuses, but used the empire to force the Guell Alliance and asked the Guell Alliance to let them leave, otherwise It is considered a declaration of war on the empire.

The Güell Alliance's approach was to "accidentally" disclose this negotiation, and said that they would ask the empire for an explanation.

The third recording is short but full of information.

'Sir! Our ship's polarimeter is not working properly! The gravitational force in this airspace is abnormal! '

'Attack warning! Attack alert! '

'damn it! How do they know our route! Fight back! Protect the flagship retreat! '

'That's too late! It's a ship of the New Federation! There are more than three hundred quantities! We can't stand their volley! '

‘All energy is given to the shield! evacuation! Evacuate quickly! '

Then there was a violent noise, which was the strong interference produced when the powerful ion beam was about to touch the hull.

The virtual conference room was silent.

Director Ino frowned tightly.

what happened?

"Why did the fight suddenly start?" Director Ino asked, "Didn't I say there was no major problem when I learned about this?"

"Things changed suddenly."

"If the information we're getting is correct, someone has hijacked our communications system."

"The military department did not issue any orders to the escort formation. Our military system also limited this, and the whole process happened too quickly. According to the information we obtained through secret information channels, the New Federation side did not notice the attack at all. They Delayed ship shield sync response."

"That is to say, someone deliberately provoked a war between us and the new Federation."

"Guell Union?"

"This matter is within the territory of the Guell Union. If they want to make small moves, it will not be any easier."

"Luofeng's fleet evacuated that airspace ahead of time... Don't you think it's too coincidental? I suspect it was a scene directed by Luofeng and the Guell Alliance."

"It's also possible that the New Federation is also involved. They just want to lure us to war outside while we are in chaos."

The meeting room fell silent again.

The old people were thinking and carefully deducing the various consequences that would happen if the empire went on another expedition.

Director Ino leaned back on the chair, looking at the summary of information in front of him, he felt his scalp swell.

"At this juncture, we cannot launch a war abroad," Director Ino said solemnly, "The internal conflicts of the empire have not been quelled, and the demands of the people have not been met. If we rashly go to war, it will accelerate internal division."

"I object," an old man said seriously. "The new Federation suffered heavy losses in military strength in the insect swarm. You have seen how much we gained from the previous two expeditions. This is a good opportunity to divert conflicts within the territory."

"Transfer?"

Director Ino frowned and said:

"How to transfer? Will the people hate the new Federation because our mission was attacked by surprise? Ordinarily, maybe, but not now.

"On the other hand, on the side of the New Federation, reinforcements from the League of Guell and the United States of Freedom appeared in the last expedition. Although it was later confirmed that it was because of the interference of high-dimensional civilization, this should have given us greater vigilance!

"The high-dimensional civilization is already dissatisfied with us."

"Yino," an old man sighed, "I know that you like to improve the civilization of the dimension. You have been talking about the civilization of the high dimension. Then, the white ghost has become our confidant."

Someone on the side kept answering:

"And Yinuo, your ascension laboratory has not produced any results so far."

"Of course it's not your fault. From tens of thousands of years ago to the present, this laboratory is like a black hole, constantly devouring our most elite reformed fighters, but it can't give us any hope of upgrading."

"The high-dimensional world has not opened the door to us. Ino, our problems now are the increasingly acute domestic conflicts and the imminent competition of civilizations abroad. The only way to solve the current predicament is to defeat them."

They changed the subject:

"No matter who planned this incident, it is confirmed that the New Federation finally attacked our mission formation."

"This is a good opportunity. We need this war. Domestic conflicts are becoming more and more acute. After all, people's thoughts cannot be fully controlled."

"Is the Imperial Guard system still unable to start?"

"Yes, the Imperial Guard system did not give us any response, and the current situation has already met all the conditions for the Imperial Guard system to trigger passive protection."

"Emperor Wei still has a problem."

"The imperial guard system, which has guarded the empire for tens of thousands of years, has reached the end of its life. This is actually reasonable, but it happens when we need its help the most."

"The experiment of Emperor Guard 2 went well."

"Find two battle clusters and use Emperor Guard 2 in a small area. There is no need to explain to the new federation, and there is no need to communicate. They attacked our mission, and they have already declared war on us."

"But!"

Director Ino frowned tightly:

"Elders, can I ask a few questions?"

"Ino, tell me."

"Aren't we going to investigate whether this incident is planned by the New Federation or the Güell Alliance, and take military action directly against the New Federation?"

"Yes Eno, we will not investigate, because military operations are in our interests," the old man said, "As long as we start a war with the New Federation, we will be able to enter the country's wartime control, and we can take this opportunity to put those Those who oppose us, those who try to become leaders of the common people, arrest those Dominguez who disobey the empire's control, as spies of the new federation."

"That's cleaning," Director Ino said, "We want to clean the empire?"

"Isn't this the most efficient way to resolve current domestic conflicts?"

An old man continued: "Once we enter a wartime state, we will be able to control information. Although these regulations have not been used for a long time, we need them now."

"You know Yinuo, how critical the situation in the country is now."

"On the side of the New Federation, instead of directly attacking their key star field, we can confront them and carry out a local high-intensity war of attrition to exaggerate the atmosphere of the war. What we want is a wartime state."

boom!

Director Ino put his hands on the edge of the table, and his tired body slowly stood up.

He took a deep breath, and there was some light in his eyes, which was helplessness and struggle, reason and sadness.

"I must warn you!

"Wars can divert conflicts, suppress riots, and temporarily quiet the empire in a short period of time, but this does not solve any problems, but we cover our ears and the mouths of the people!

"We now have a lot of room for strategic relaxation, even if it is a symbolic so-called change, the new calendar of the empire will be reset to zero, and we will even announce the deprivation of the titles of a group of nobles, the abolition of the military's aristocratic system, and other welfare systems , we can all greatly ease domestic conflicts. Aren’t we advancing these plans step by step?

"The rush to launch a war now will definitely create huge hidden dangers for the empire in the long run.

"The hypocritical new federation will inevitably kidnap other countries to fight a war of attrition with us.

"Two expeditions and one swarm of insects. Our reserves have yet to recover. Our current local finances and military expenditures are in huge deficits. Our dependent countries are already complaining!"

"You don't have to worry about this, Yinuo," an old man interrupted him, "We have already made a plan, and Luofeng will solve the problem of military expenditure for us."

"Luofeng? The Luofeng who just slapped us in the face? Do you know the current military strength of the Luofeng Alliance? It is already a strong regional government, and it is very likely that it has already joined forces with the Guell Alliance!"

"Don't worry, everything about Luofeng is under our control, and Luofeng's mob fleet... well, Yinuo, you are too tired, we shouldn't have targeted your laboratory just now, your experiment is very noble and very Greatness is what our future means. But for now, go rest."

Director Ino hesitated to speak.

He has already noticed at this moment that the atmosphere of the meeting is not quite right.

He looked at the old people in front of him, then at his grandfather, and finally just sighed softly.

"Next, my experiment has reached a critical stage. You don't need to call me about these things."

His figure stepped back half a step, the stereoscopic projection device automatically cut off the communication with the virtual meeting, and the interior of his small, dark lounge appeared again in front of him.

A poster of Emperor Star hung on the wall.

The light is so dim and so dazzling.

limited awareness;

Infinite arrogance.

Eno walked back to the sofa and slowly sat down, stared at the poster with his head up, and finally closed his eyes and sighed.
