Chapter 1653

On the star map behind Tang Dingyuan, the crystal clear star ship icons representing the black wind fleet suddenly disappeared, turned into golden dotted lines, and went straight into the hinterland of the Federation like lightning.

Those starships emerged again in a golden whirlpool, directly attacking the federal resource collection and magic weapon refining base!

This scene left all the high-level officials of the government in exile silent and preoccupied.

The war in the sea of stars is just like this, which is different from the war between countries living on the same planet in ancient times, which is almost a "plane".

Countries that live on the same planet and have "land" as their main territory often have clear borders. The enemy's attack can only break through the borders and slowly advance all the way from the border to the inland and even the core.

Even if you master all kinds of flying magic weapons, you have to fly all the way along the border. Except for a few special operations forces with extremely high accomplishments, it is difficult to jump in directly.

The three-dimensional war in the universe is by no means so.

The sea of stars is too vast, and there are so few worlds for human survival and development. Each world is an island, connected by "jumping bridges" that can cross four-dimensional space.

The Xingyao Federation does not rule all the Xinghai among the seven great worlds. It can only be said that they are seven small "isolated islands of the universe". It is difficult to distinguish between the real frontier and the core area. The enemy can completely bypass some of these worlds and directly launch surprise attacks on the weak spots who are not on guard. The difficulty of defense can be imagined.

"In fact, we and the federal government have been conducting the above situation deduction for the past 10 years, and it is only at this moment that we have declassified it to you."

Tang Dingyuan continued, "and from the confessions of Ding Zhengyang and many rebels, this point has also been confirmed - once their rebellion is successful, they will cooperate with the imperial Council and the black wind special forces who sneak into the Federation to wantonly destroy and create chaos within the Federation, creating opportunities for the black wind fleet's strong attack.

"The war between the Empire and the Federation has already begun, and the outcome is likely to be decided before the black wind fleet really appears - at this moment!

"There are cultivators in the Federation, not only those who are floating on the surface like the emperor's Council, but also those who are higher, deeper and more important. Although this information was thrown out by LV Qingchen in order to tempt Ding Zhengyang and others to launch a rebellion, according to our research, it has high credibility!

"This man has enough energy to create an excellent opportunity for the attack of the black wind fleet. At least he can transmit such valuable information to the black wind fleet about where the main force of the federal army, Liaoyuan fleet, is lying in ambush.

"On the other hand, as long as we can find out this man, it is possible to know the jumping point of the black wind fleet in advance, and we will win almost half of the battle!

"The latest situation that I want to share with you today is that Ding Zhengyang, Cheng xuansu and others are launching a large-scale rebellion at this moment, which can also show one thing - the black wind fleet is almost ready, no matter what plot, it is about to start! The situation is so critical that it is necessary for us to make further progress in our alliance with Xingyao Federation. "

Tang Dingyuan takes a pause and looks at Cui Lingfeng.

Cui Lingfeng coughed softly, and then said: "you guys, we have received the latest news that the Xingyao Federation will enter the" highest state of war "after the new general election. This is unprecedented in the history of the Federation. Even the" battle of the heavenly ring "30 years ago, they just entered the" first-class state of war. ".

"This time, the Federalists are going to elect a" speaker of war "worthy of the name. Compared with the speaker in peacetime, all kinds of powers have been expanded.

"We originally sent a" general election observation mission "to investigate the emergence of the latest speaker of the Federal Parliament, but it was interrupted by the rebellion of the immortals. Now the situation of us, the Federation and the empire is different. The scale of the general election observation mission should also be expanded, even not limited to the" general election observation "link, but in military, economic and political aspects with the Federation, All of us have launched... Deeper cooperation!

"The imperial expeditionary force may appear in front of us at any time, even the next second - you must have such an understanding, and under such a premise, rethink the relationship between us and the Federation, and think about our common future!

"So, Captain Tang and I have decided, and have communicated with the federal side, to continue to use the name of the" general election investigation team ", but the scale has tripled!

"The first stop of the delegation will be tianhuanjie, where one of our senior officers will stay and discuss the details of the formation of the" joint operation base camp "with the high level of the Federal Military at the second home port of Liaoyuan fleet.

"The second stop is the star sea jumping center of Baihua City, which is located between the four realms of Tianhuan, Shuhai, Youming and crystal. It is the intersection of the seven major world fairways of the Federation and the most prosperous trade city. Our economic and trade delegation will be there to discuss with a senior negotiation group of the federal economic and trade department how to integrate the firefly's" star ship economy system "into the federal economy system, Including the unification of currency, the abolition of tariffs, internal tax distribution and a series of problems.

"After leaving the senior officers' regiment and the economic and trade delegation in the military and economic and trade center of the Federation, the remaining general election observation mission will go directly to tianyuanjie, the capital of the Federation. According to the schedule, it will just be able to catch up with the announcement of the results of the federal general election. At that time, we can know the latest policies of the Federation under the highest state of war, And discussed with the new "war government" how to integrate the two sides.

"Up to now, all of you, let's give up your illusions. We've been on the run for a thousand years, and there's no way back. It's here, right now, to fight back all the way to our ancestors' home, the center of the sea of stars!"

……

Federal standard time, it's already midnight.

However, there is no uniform sleep time on the firefly's several hundred "sub ships" or even in the cabins. The huge star battle castle is still brightly lit, like thousands of fireflies gathering together to release the faint light of life.

There is only one "meditation platform" in the core cabin, which is shrouded by a crystal dome and overlooks the sea of stars. Under the brilliant stars, it also means that it is still in the dead of night.

Li Yao follows Cui Lingfeng. They walk slowly on the open meditation platform. Under the brilliant starlight, there are only two of them.

"The delegation will leave in three days."

Looking at Cui Lingfeng's figure immersed in the starlight, Li Yao asked, "the speaker called me here. Is there anything else you want to explain?"

"Nothing. I just want to say" thank you "to you. No matter who you are, no matter what your purpose is, at least you have brought... New hope to the five words" Xinghai Republic. "

Cui Lingfeng looked out at the crystal dome like a sea of stars, and suddenly said, "besides, if you are really a pure 'red lotus man', you have escaped here to avenge the immortals. It's not easy to find other immortals... I really want to know that you have found the ambition and plot of Jin Xinyue, the high-ranking member of the Federation, And after the so-called "orthodox government" is not as perfect as you think, and there are still "rebirth plans" and other dark sides, will you be very disappointed? "

Li Yaowei was stunned, thought about it, shook his head and said: "it's not so disappointing, but it's really a pity. The enemy is facing us. We are all true practitioners, but we have to be careful, fussy, even suspicious and suspicious. It's really a bit..."

"I can't help it. Maybe this is human, this is human nature. It's hard to completely refine what we cultivate."

Cui Lingfeng smiles and says, "Captain Lin, have you ever heard of porcupines in winter?"

Li Yao blinked: "porcupine in winter?"

"Porcupines are large rodents with long, hard needles that stand out like hedgehogs to guard against larger animals than themselves."

Cui Ling said, "when winter is too cold, porcupines will huddle together to keep warm. If they are too far apart, they will not be able to keep warm, and the cold wind will still rush between them; But if they get too close, they will be stabbed by each other.

"As a result, it evolved into such a scene: porcupines constantly arch toward their companions until they are stung by their companions' sharp stabs, and then suddenly retreat. But soon after they retreat, they are forced by the cold wind to arch towards their companions again, eager for a little warmth, until they are stung by their companions again.

"We and Xingyao Federation are probably like these two porcupines. Under the threat of the cold wind, we both want to get warm together, but we will be stung by each other's innate spikes. There is no way. This" spikes "is our only weapon to protect ourselves in the mouth of beasts in the past. Without these" spikes ", maybe we can't wait for winter, I'll be dead long ago! "

"I believe that even stupid porcupines will eventually find the right distance, not only not to stab each other, but also to share everyone's heat, otherwise this species should be extinct long ago!"

Li Yao couldn't help saying, "what's more, people? I don't believe that the high level of Xingyao Federation will be inferior to porcupines. "

"You don't understand that sometimes what I fear is not the starshine Federation, but... Ourselves."

Cui Lingfeng sighed and said, "after all, it's not the real empire that gave birth to the monster 'Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi'. It's us, Xinghai Republic!

"It was the Republic of Xinghai that gave birth to the immortal cultivators like the black star emperor. After creating this monster, our ancestors fled. In the 1000 years of exile in Xinghai, we experienced too much darkness and despair, and touched the bottom line of normal human beings countless times.

"Yes, now I can say without shame that the" bad cultivator "and the" cultivator "are different.

"However, after Ding Zhengyang raised that question, I thought more than once, is everything really determined by the environment and has nothing to do with Daoxin?

"I'm lucky enough that when I was speaker, I didn't have to make painful choices.

"However, if the firefly and I are a little bit more unlucky, we will encounter a serious disaster, lose a lot of resources, and only one tenth of the people on board can survive, how dare I launch the" rebirth plan "to kill 90% of the people randomly?

"If I do, then am I a" bad cultivator "or a" cultivator "
