079 Win every battle, but lose the war

For the Kerry Empire, the starry sky Zerg is now the biggest threat. As for the report submitted by Kyle on the Tolan star system, it has long been forgotten.

After all, it is just a cruiser, which is not a big problem in the eyes of the congressmen. The garrison of the Flood Star System can easily kill it by sending out a small battle group.

Even many people in the parliament believed that Kyle's report was exaggerated.

And the motive...

Naturally to cover up his own incompetence!

If it weren't for Brown's help, they would all want to hit Kyle directly.

However, beating a dog also depends on the owner, right?

Kyle is indeed just a small person in their eyes, but his boss, Brown, has a big background.

One of the seven supreme commanders of the empire, he holds 3,800 main battleships, and his father is also a member of the Imperial Senate.

Therefore, it is obviously unwise to have to have a stalemate with Brown for the sake of a small person like Kyle.

This is almost everyone's consensus.

It is precisely because of this that Kyle retained his position again, but if he wanted to go further, it was impossible.

Maybe those congressmen will sell Brown a face and not get rid of you.

However, if you want to move up, you have to count on any member of parliament to support you.

------

Floodlight star system, in orbit of Snow star.

Bang!

Kyle smashed a decoration in his room to the ground, anger written on his face.

Exaggerating the threat to humanity?

Making excuses for your incompetence?

And you have to focus all your energy on those bugs instead of always staring at humans?

Are these damn congressmen filled with shit?

Kyle does not deny that the threat of the Starry Sky Zerg is great, but no matter how strong the Starry Sky Zerg is, it cannot threaten the foundation of the empire, but human beings are different. Once humans are allowed to rise again, not to mention reaching the level of the Star Sea Federation, as long as there are one or two

Done...

Kyle has no doubt that the empire is not far from destruction.

After all, he knew the details of the battle more than four hundred years ago!

About 420 years ago.

It is the 30,000th anniversary celebration of the Kaili Empire.

For this celebration, the empire invited the other four major civilizations to participate in a special fleet review.

Soon, the Prol Community, the Filna Union and the Republic of Lane all responded and expressed that they would send their strongest fleets to participate.

In order to show respect, the Star Sea Federation also dispatched the Loulan Fleet, the most powerful of the three major fleets.

Although everyone is also a fourth-level civilization, the Star Sea Federation is much stronger than them. Otherwise, the galactic order proposed by the Star Sea Federation would not have been able to operate for thousands of years.

Let’s just talk about the Loulan fleet, which is so powerful that it can even sweep across any of the four major civilizations.

As for the other two of the three major fleets of the Federation, although they are also very strong, they are still far behind the Loulan fleet.

It was this celebration of Kerry's empire and this ship review that became the prelude to the demise of the Star Sea Federation.

On the day of the fleet review, the Loulan fleet was placed in the center of the other four major civilization fleets.

After all, it is the most powerful civilization, so there is nothing wrong with this arrangement. No one sees anything wrong with it.

But soon, something unexpected happened.

The fleets of the four major civilizations opened fire without warning, aiming at the Loulan fleet in the center.

Originally, because of the ceremonial array, the fleet adopted a high-density formation, and to show respect, all combat-related systems were shut down.

Such as weapons...

Like an energy shield...

etc.

It was simply a massacre.

Even the Loulan fleet, without shields, without weapons, in an ultra-density arrangement, and completely surrounded, was powerless to resist.

When the Loulan fleet reacted and finally activated all its shield and weapon systems, 70% of its warships had been lost.

Although the remaining warships tried their best to resist, it was impossible for them to come back.

In the end, the Loulan fleet, which made all civilizations in the entire galaxy tremble, simply disappeared.

Immediately, the four major civilizations, which had been secretly preparing for hundreds of years, joined forces to attack the Orion Arm.

At this time, all civilizations discovered that the four major civilizations had secretly formed so many fleets. Their overall number was almost thirty times that of the Star Sea Federation.

What followed was what is known as the Ten Years' War in history.

In those ten years, the four major civilizations frantically attacked cities and territories, and the Star Sea Federation also resisted tenaciously. The remaining two fleets, plus some other conventional fleets, also caused great obstacles to the four major civilizations.

For ten years, the four major civilizations did not even win a single battle, but in the end the Federation lost the war.

This is a very strange thing, but it really happens.

In terms of single ships, there is no doubt that the Star Sea Federation is stronger. In terms of fleet combat power, the Star Sea Federation is also stronger.

Even though the number was smaller than that of the opponent, the Star Sea Federation's fleet could still defeat the enemy. There were even several times where the Star Sea Federation still won despite having a strength difference of five or six times.

However, this victory is not without cost.

Take the most famous Battle of the Flood Star System as an example. At that time, there were 5,000 federal warships stationed here, and the number of warships attacked by the four major civilizations directly reached 30,000.

Originally, no one thought that the Star Sea Federation had any chance in this battle in the Flood Star System.

But what’s the result?

The Star Sea Federation won!

But the price of victory was not small. In the end, out of 5,000 warships, only less than 300 were left.

This is why the Star Sea Federation can win every battle, but still loses the war in the end.

The thirty-fold troop strength gap was really beyond what the Federation at that time could make up for.

If the Loulan fleet is still there, it would be no problem, but it's a pity...

In the end, after thousands of battles, large and small, the Star Sea Federation finally exhausted 99% of its combat power, and only the solar system was left in its territory.

Of course, the four major civilizations also had a hard time. By the time they reached the solar system, there were only more than 30,000 warships left among the hundreds of thousands.

But no matter how miserable it is, you will win in the end, right?

What happened after that is basically known to everyone.

When the four major civilization coalition forces invaded the solar system, something strange happened...

Therefore, in essence, the four major civilizations are currently at their weakest time in history.

if not...

They don't need so many affiliated civilizations to participate for one Orion arm.

Wouldn't it be better to hold all the benefits in your own hands?

It's really good, but we don't have the strength!

Take the Kaili Empire as an example. Currently, the total number of warships in the entire empire is only over 20,000, which is only about 30% of what it was in its heyday.

Most of the troops have to be deployed at the headquarters and the Galactic Center Channel.

After all, it was because of the existence of the Star Sea Federation that the four major civilizations joined forces.

But when the Star Sea Federation fell, the relationship between them immediately changed from allies to competition.

Despite the appearance, everyone is still very friendly, but who is not guarding whom?

As for the other three major civilizations, they are basically in this state.

Therefore, Kyle will be more wary of humans.

He always had a feeling that mankind was rising rapidly in the dark, and if he didn't use all his strength to wipe it out now, it would be too late.

As for the Zerg, although there is some threat, it does not threaten the foundation of the empire.

But the empire's top brass had already decided so, and he couldn't go against it.

Just...

Get rid of those bug problems ASAP!

"How's the investigation going on over there in the Death Nebula?"

He sighed slightly in his heart and immediately asked his adjutant.

"Still exploring outside the passage!"

"It's been two months since the passage was discovered. What are those guys doing?"

"According to the report, those scientists believe that they cannot risk entering directly without knowing the depth of the passage, so..."

"Bullshit!!!"

The adjutant was interrupted by Kyle midway through his words.

Kyle knows the scientists of the Empire and the other three civilizations very well.

Even if something is easy to solve, they always make it very complicated.

Take the passage discovered this time as an example. Obviously you only need to arrange some unmanned aerial vehicles and then jump in along the passage.

For example, jump one light-year away first, and if successful, jump one light-year further inward.

And if it fails, then change it to half a light-year and try again.

Using this method, a rough measurement result can be completed in a short time, and then more detailed measurements can be made based on this rough result.

The problem is solved.

But the logic of those scientists is very strange. They think that using this untechnical method is very disrespectful.

As an imperial scientist, it is natural to use more advanced, more complex, and purely scientific methods to obtain results.

This will show their importance and ability, right?

then...

This is the result now.

Two months later, the survey fleet is still wandering outside the passage, not knowing what it is doing all day long.

Anyway...

no progress!
