1963, preliminary negotiations
Seeing Admiral Chiara's reaction, Lieutenant General Brent smiled slightly, and at the same time the stone in his heart was relieved.
In fact, many people in the Dawn Principality Army are a little afraid of Severance Tann, because she is too powerful. The fleet under her command has never been defeated. No matter what kind of desperate situation, she will be defeated.
Seizing the opportunity to make a comeback, she is simply synonymous with invincibility!
In some simulated war chess games, the only ones in the Kingdom of Dawn who can compete with Severance Tann are Ling Liang and General Ling. The record between her and Tann is about 30-70, but this is all
He has the best performance among the generals. Ling Liang is better at strategy, and there is a big gap between him and Tann in terms of tactics.
Of course, it must be said that since General Ling learned zero-mode probability from the Jiwen people to conduct command, every time she and Severance Tann had a simulated battle, she was very happy to admit defeat, and she often stood up to others.
It seemed that when the two sides were evenly matched, she immediately gave up. In fact, she calculated the future direction of the battle and found that she could not defeat Tann, so she readily gave up.
Therefore, many people in the Dawn Principality Army connected the power of Severance Tann with the Chiss, so now they were facing a person who looked not as young and beautiful as Severance Tann.
But Lieutenant General Brent, an equally extraordinary Chiss general, has been beating the drum in his heart.
In his opinion, a person of Admiral Chiara's level must have very strong control over her emotions. If he could make her expression change so drastically, it meant that he asked the right question.
The Chisi people really know Mongal-Mongal!
"Have you... met Mongal Mongal?" Admiral Chiara's face turned cold.
"General! The main guns of the Chiss warship are charging! Do they want to start a war?" The adjutant came over and said eagerly to Lieutenant General Brent.
Brent waved his hand to signal him to calm down, and then said to Admiral Chiara: "You don't have to worry about Mongar Mongar, it would be too bad if too much tension leads to a war between our two civilizations.
Actually, we did not encounter Mongar-Mongal. One of our colonies encountered this creature. And we actually know nothing about Mongar-Mongal, so we hope to get some news from you.
."
Admiral Chiara stared at Brent for a while, and then said: "Where did you encounter Mongar Mongar's colony?" Her tone seemed to have softened a lot.
"Planet Levik... I will send you the coordinates immediately." Lieutenant General Brent waved his hand, and the communications department immediately sent the coordinates. He continued: "In addition, according to the latest news we received,
There is a planet called Kruda, which has completely fallen. Now the entire planet is full of Mongal-Mongal."
"Planet Levik... I remember that it was the sphere of influence of the Xilu Empire. A troublesome race." Chiara said with a frown.
"The Xilu Empire has become a thing of the past. Because they used anti-human, anti-social, and anti-civilization human battery technology and captured other races as batteries, they wiped out at least seven civilizations and caused the massacre of tens of billions of people.
They were personally ordered to be destroyed by our Grand Duke of the Dawn Principality." Lieutenant General Brent puffed out his chest and said.
This is a topic that doesn't need to irritate the other party too much, but can show one's own power.
Chiara squinted her eyes and looked at Lieutenant General Brent. Her eyes lowered and seemed to scan other places. There seemed to be a screen there. It seemed that she was reviewing the scanning results of the Eternal super aircraft carrier by her own sensors.
Then, Chiara asked: "So, what is the current situation on Levik Planet?"
"We have dispatched a special research team to study Menggal-Mongal, but with little success. At the same time, when the Xilu Empire was about to collapse, they adopted a fish-or-death strategy. They took the initiative to release Menggal-Mongal.
Although we immediately purified and controlled it, Mongar-Mongal still spread to other parts of the planet. The ongoing infections are making us very troubled," Lieutenant General Brent said.
"Planet Levik, what is the population? Where is your defense force?" Admiral Chiara asked again.
"The population of the Xilu people is about 10 billion, and the population of the subordinate race Piaik people is about 5 billion." Lieutenant General Brent answered truthfully, "The defense force, according to the news we received a month ago, has a total of 4.1 million combat robots.
, an elite regular army of 20,000 people, and a Piak army of 6 million people. In addition, in order to fight against Mongar-Mongal, some Xilu people also organized a volunteer army, numbering about 500,000."
"Based on what we know about Mongar-Mongal, Planet Levik is likely to fall within a year. I hope you will be prepared for the worst and immediately block all shipping lanes around Planet Levik." Zia
General La said.
"The waterway has indeed been blocked. Except for the transport ship carrying combat robots, other spacecraft are allowed in and out. We are doing everything we can to avoid the fall of Levik's planet. Because this is related to the lives of 15 billion people.
." Lieutenant General Brent said.
"You came here to look for us, just for Mongal Mongal?" Chiara continued to ask.
"We hope to establish a forward base on the Levik planet, promote the development of the unknown star field, and open up transportation between here and the Milky Way. Most importantly, we hope to establish equal, peaceful, and friendly relations with the Chiss.
We will not let the Chiss get caught up in our war behavior, and our goal for the unknown star field is always peace." Lieutenant General Brent said.
"The purpose of peace also includes the destruction of the Xilu Empire?" Chiara showed a sarcastic smile.
"If you can understand how many shocking crimes the Xilu Empire has committed for their human battery technology, I believe you will also support our actions. The Chiss are a civilized, advanced, and enlightened race. We have always been
I believe so." Lieutenant General Brent said.
Admiral Chiara thought for a while and said: "I can report to the Chiss Council your purpose of coming, as well as what happened on Levik's planet, including the destruction of the Silu Empire and the spread of Mongar-Mongal.
Before getting a reply, I hope you can stay where you are and not take any extraordinary actions. Otherwise, the power of our Chiss people cannot be underestimated."
"Don't worry." Lieutenant General Brent smiled and nodded.
This wait lasted three days. During these days, Admiral Chiara's defense fleet was always here, monitoring the Second Exploration Fleet and preventing them from making any changes. And during these days, Qi Yala's defense fleet was
Admiral Yara refused all communications requests from Lieutenant General Brent and remained silent.
From this point of view, Lieutenant General Brent believes that she belongs to the kind of traditional soldier with a meticulous character.
Finally, the communication from Admiral Chiara rang again. Vice Admiral Brent was always waiting on the bridge. In order to show his respect for the Chiss, he even slept on the bridge in the past few days.
The communication was immediately connected, and Admiral Chiara still had the same meticulous and serious expression. She said slowly: "I have to say, regarding your visit from the Dawn Principality, among the four ruling families in the Chisland Cabinet,
There are differences. But after several days of discussion, we finally reached a consensus and they are willing to give you a chance to meet you in person."
"Oh, this is our honor. So, how will we go?" Lieutenant General Brent said.
"Your warships are not allowed to enter the Chiss Territory. You can only send a shuttle here. Moreover, you should be the commander-in-chief of this fleet, right? You must come in person." Admiral Chiara said.
"This is natural. Then please give me some time. I need to form a formal delegation." Lieutenant General Brent smiled and nodded. He pressed another communication in front of General Chiara.
button and said: "Keith, come back, you need to go with me."
[No problem General.] The response came from the communication.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a white spacecraft suddenly appearing from the void of the universe. This spacecraft had a slender and graceful hull, and what was very prominent was that there was a ring structure behind the spacecraft, which made the whole space full of beauty.
Stratus-class cruiser, the ship given to Keith Maxwell by Tang Xiao.
But the appearance of this spaceship caused Admiral Chiara's expression to change drastically!
Because of its location, it is less than 1,000 kilometers away from the Chiss fleet!! What does this mean? It means that once it launches an attack on the Chiss warships, they don’t even have a chance to react!! Even if it launches a proton torpedo
, at such a close distance, the success rate of interception will also drop to less than half!!
There is no doubt that Lieutenant General Brent summoned Keyes back to his face and made his spaceship appear. This was also a demonstration against the Chiss!
This forced Admiral Chiara to re-evaluate the combat capabilities of both sides. According to her judgment, once the fleets of the two sides engage in a firefight, her winning rate has dropped from 70% to 50%. All this is because this ship even
Can sneak into the cruiser less than 1000 kilometers away from them!
What makes Admiral Chiara even more uneasy is that the one in front of her is just an exploration fleet. She already knows that Brent's rank is only lieutenant general. So, what if it is an admiral? The fleet he leads
What is the scale? Does the other party have the rank of Navy Marshal?
In fact, General Chiara knew that the Chisland Cabinet discussed for three days whether to accept the visit of the Principality of Dawn. A very important factor was the military strength displayed by the other party.
You know, the largest battleship class in the Chiss Defense Fleet is the heavy cruiser. In the Chiss Defense Fleet, they use man-of-war [Note 1] to refer to their capital ships, which are heavy cruisers. They
There are three classes of capital ships, namely Firewolf-class, Groundlion-class, and the largest Nightdragon-class.
Among them, the largest Night Dragon-class battleship is about 900 meters in length. Currently, Admiral Chiara's flagship is a Night Dragon-class battleship, which is also the only Night Dragon-class in her fleet.
But in contrast, the fleet sent by the Principality of Dawn actually had a giant battleship with a height of more than 5,600 meters! The appearance of this battleship greatly shocked the ruling families of the Chisland cabinet. Not only because of the huge size of this battleship
The advanced shipbuilding technology and craftsmanship displayed are even more because the Principality of Dawn has the ability to sail such a super battleship into the unknown star field!!
You need to know why the unknown star field is separated from the rest of the galaxy? Isn't it because of the chaotic and complex hyperspace environment here, which is even called 'chaos'? It is simply impossible for a normal spacecraft to enter the unknown through hyperspace navigation.
Star field.
Even the Chiss themselves can only rely on a limited number of hyperspace lanes that have been summarized and discovered for a long time to navigate, and even so, they must use Force-sensitive navigators to complete navigation.
And in hyperspace, it is common sense that the larger the spacecraft is, the more difficult it is to pass through.
So now, the Principality of Dawn actually has the ability to sail this 5,600-meter-long super battleship into the unknown star field? Does that mean that they already have the ability to launch a large-scale invasion of the Chiss Territory?
This situation really makes the ruling families in the Chisland cabinet feel extremely threatened. This is the real butcher's knife hanging over their heads!
The Qisi Territory is not afraid of the Principality of Dawn, but this is based on their belief that the Principality of Dawn cannot bring the fleet over. They will not naively think that their national power can be compared with the Principality of Dawn.
Although they will not be involved in the war on the other side of the galaxy, it does not mean that they know nothing about the war on the other side of the galaxy. After all, a war of this scale cannot be left unchecked.
Therefore, the Chiss naturally also know how powerful the Principality of Dawn is, having fought with the Galactic Republic for two and a half years, annihilating countless Republic fleets, and destroying four of the Republic's twenty legions!
Therefore, normally, the Chisland cabinet would not agree to such diplomatic contact. But the most important reason why they agreed to Lieutenant General Brent's visit this time is that they hope to explore the Principality of Dawn.
After all, we understand what they really think and whether they really pose a threat to the Chiss Territory.
However, now, in addition to this super battleship that can sail into unknown star fields, there is also a stealth battleship that can sneak into the 1,000-kilometer monitoring range of their fleet in the exploration fleet of the Principality of Dawn! This is not an ordinary small stealth warship.
ship, but cruiser class!
If a war really breaks out, the results may be disastrous for the Chisland. Chiara came to this conclusion.
