[Publish the two chapters together to prevent anyone from not understanding the protagonist’s layout and criticizing me again. 】
"Is this the force we need to use this time?" Tang Xiao looked at the documents in front of him and frowned, "5 Predator-class heavy supply ships converted into Home-class aircraft carriers, 10 Gray Horses -class escort aircraft carrier, 5 Apocalypse-class light cruisers, 20 Revenge-class light destroyers, 80 Cobalt-class frigates... plus 15,000 Marines..."
With a snap, he threw the document away On the table in front of him, they spread like snowflakes, with a calm expression on his face, "Do you want the whole galaxy to know that we are going to invade and conquer? Francis should have said this in yesterday's meeting. This battle is fought under the eyes of the Galactic Republic. What we are fighting is politics, not just who we want to defeat. If you follow your arrangement, then should we take the Hiigaran ship that we just trialled at the Golden Nice Shipyard? Send a battlecruiser there?”
"However, if we do not mobilize this level of power, we cannot guarantee that we can defeat the Airu people. Although they have just joined the Republic, they have occupied the Model Sector for a long time and have been coveting the Kuna Star Cluster. According to the investigation, they With two industrial planets, three colonial planets, and one prison planet used to hold prisoners, with a total population of 5.3 billion, we can't face such an opponent without using cutting-edge combat power..." Qi Jian concluded.
"How to defeat the enemy is a matter for your staff and frontline commanders. What I want to consider is politics..." Tang Xiao took the document on the top and picked up a The pen crossed out more than half of the power above, "The Marine Corps cannot exceed 3,000 people, the Home-class aircraft carrier is cancelled, the Apocalypse-class light cruiser is cancelled, there are a maximum of 5 Revenge-class light destroyers, and a maximum of 20 Cobalt Alloy-class heavy frigates. The inventory All the Hammer-class light frigates are sent there, plus the Manghan-class and Spear-class light frigates. This number can be appropriately relaxed."
"But only these forces..."
" As I said, this is not an issue for me to consider, but for you." Tang Xiao leaned back on the back of his seat and said coldly: "What I am paying attention to now is our public opinion environment and political environment on Coruscant. , Therefore, the battle that may break out in the Fang of Kuna cannot exceed the limit, and it cannot fail."
"Yes..." Qi Jian lowered his head, packed up the documents on the table angrily, and walked out. office.
Tang Xiao continued to sit in his seat, thinking deeply. After a long time, he pressed the button on the table and said to the communication: "Make me an appointment with the Semiers and Jiwen people. I want to talk to their leaders."
...
Qi Jian's face was full of depression, but there was no doubt about Tang Xiao's order. He could only find the current commander-in-chief of the navy, Igor Zavalov, and hand him the list that Tang Xiao had altered beyond recognition, " General Igor, you also know the current dispute between us and the Airu people, but the governor is unwilling to invest too much force. How do you think this battle should be fought? "
Igor? Er looked at the list and said: "Actually, this thing doesn't matter. It is true that using large battleships is too eye-catching, but..."
He flipped through the document, "You haven't heard of Tatu Is it because of the war over there? We have special skills against the fleets of these backward races.”
Qi Jian's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "I thought of it! That's it!"
...
Kuna's Fang Planet, the mining field of the Fourth Civilization Pioneer Group.
The mine has been completely shut down. There are more than a dozen burning mine carts scattered outside, and hundreds of people from the planet Annaji are fully armed and blocking the only exit of the mine. Wearing respirators, they used spray paint to spray various insulting pictures on the gates of the closed mines, and occasionally burst into arrogant laughter.
The miners of the Fourth Civilization Pioneer Group inside were all silent and trembling.
Just now, a few miners wanted to go out to negotiate, but they were dragged aside by the Airu people, who pulled off their respirators and beat them violently. Those poor people were beaten wildly for 5 minutes in a semi-suffocated state, and finally they were thrown to the door while dying, and were quickly pulled back by others.
Because the mine is a mobile operation, there are not many supplies. The miners who are now stuck in the mine lack food and drinking water, but they dare not go out. But those Airu people had transport planes to transport supplies, so they ate and drank in front of the miners. They also threw some food at the door, peed on it, and waited for the miners to be hungry enough to pick it up and eat it.
Volgograd-Kanidi wants to send a transport plane to pick up the miners, but as soon as the transport plane takes off, the Ayru spacecraft will fly over to warn that they have violated their airspace. If they do not Return immediately and fire will begin.
The crowd in Noire City was furious. People from the pioneer group rushed to Canidi's office building and yelled angrily outside.
“Get out, coward!!”
"Trash that cares about human life!!"
"My husband is still in the mine! Go and save him!!"
Although the guard's face was full of anger, he could only fight with all his strength Block out the angry crowd.
In the office building, Volgograd-Kanidi finally connected to the Airu communication, but this time the person who appeared in the holographic projection was a female Airu whom he did not recognize. She was wearing a military uniform with an arrogant look on her face, "I am General Telsi from the planet Annaji stationed in the Fang of Kuna. My time is very tight. You only have 1 minute to state your demands."
"Can't we coexist peacefully? I beg you, don't do this, let the miners come back, can't we talk about it? We just want to transform the atmosphere of the Fang of Kuna, and we can't develop it together in the future. Why? Why do we have to go to this point...Why?" Canidi almost begged.
"The Endor Galaxy was given to you by us Eru people as the Dawn Planet. You are not satisfied yet. You actually want the Kuna Star Cluster? So our request is very simple. You, get out and we stop." Tai Erxi looked at Canidi condescendingly, her pride greatly satisfied.
"There are several wounded among those miners, and they are tired and hungry. At least let them return to the colony first, and then we can have a good talk, okay?" Canidi continued to plead.
"What do you, your untouchables, have to do with me whether you live or die? I said, this is what will happen if you don't obey the ultimatum! Our meaning is very clear, either get out, or, let's see what you can do here How long will it take?" said Telsi.
"I hope there can at least be a basis for negotiation that both of us can stand on... We can jointly develop and transform the atmosphere, and both of us will benefit!" Canidi persuaded earnestly, "Now The situation is already very tense. Can we each take a step back... We can't fight. Many people will die in a war..."
"Take a step back? You want me to take a step back? Hahahahahaha~ ~~~~" Telsi laughed loudly as if she heard a joke, and then cut off the communication.
Canidy fell weakly on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with blank eyes, and murmured: "When I said many people died... I meant you..."
He knew very well that Tang Xiao's methods are also very clear, and even he can only see a little bit of the fourth civilization's strength. Naturally, he also understands what level of existence the Airu people are in front of the fourth civilization.
When there are generational differences in technology, population really doesn’t mean anything.
At this time, his adjutant Deng Deng ran up and said loudly: "Sir! A group of residents opened the gate without authorization and they drove out!!"
"You said What? ! Bastard! Don’t they think it’s big enough?” Canidi jumped up in shock.
He ran all the way towards the hangar platform, then jumped on a shuttle and took off immediately.
Who would have known that just after the shuttle took off, several fighter planes made by the Airu people flew over and broadcast on the public frequency, [The spacecraft in front, please land immediately, you have violated us Airu people ’s airspace, please land immediately. 】
Volgograd-Kanidi roared loudly, "I am the commander of the Dawn Planet Colonial Group! If you have the ability, beat me down! If the fight continues, it will be a total war!"
said Then he pushed the joystick violently and flew towards the mining area.
His words also stunned the Airu pilot. For a moment, the pilot didn't know what to do, so he urgently asked General Tersi for instructions.
Tersi immediately became furious after receiving the communication, "Who does he think he is? Does he still think that I dare not touch their Dawn Planet!! Shoot him down!!"
It seemed later that He felt that it was a bit too much to directly shoot down an official of the opponent, so he added, "Just destroy his engine."
After receiving the order, the pilot immediately started to accelerate and headed towards Canidi's shuttle The plane flew over, caught up with the shuttle from behind, aimed directly, and fired the laser! !
Phew~~~! ! A bright laser beam shone on Canidi's shuttle for a full 10 seconds. The shield of the shuttle was burned through, and the engine was directly burned by the high-temperature laser. The shuttle suddenly made bursts of explosions, pulling out a column of billowing black smoke and falling towards the ground. Canidi desperately pulled up the joystick and ordered the aerial robot to quickly repair the spacecraft engine. After a while of operation, the spacecraft finally lifted the front end and made an emergency landing on the ground. After gliding for hundreds of meters, it finally hit a rock and stopped moving. .
...
At the same time, in the direction of the mining area, Tiul, the Twi'lek captain who had previously clashed with the Elu people, had driven over with hundreds of hard-blooded pioneers. Because Canidi had previously ordered strict restrictions on the carrying of weapons in Noire City, most of these people held some tools in their hands. The most powerful one was a portable mining laser with a range of less than 10 meters.
Tiur led the pioneers to confront those from the planet Annaji. The two sides yelled at each other and threw stones, but no further action was taken.
Because the pioneer group had no weapons, they did not dare to attack the Ailu people who were armed with live ammunition. The Ailu people were also ordered not to shoot first.
The Ailu people are not stupid, and they naturally know that in this case, whoever shoots will be at fault, so they just keep irritating the pioneer group and want them to do some stupid things.
No one noticed that several drones in the sky were monitoring every move here, and on a hill one kilometer away, a figure dressed in black was talking coldly through the drone's monitoring screen. Watching the confrontation between the two sides.
The dry wind on the Fang of Kuna blew up his hood, revealing a gloomy face underneath.
Baron Helmut Zemo.
He picked up a communicator and said calmly: "How's it going, Ah Xiao."
Ni Yongxiao's voice came from the communicator, "It's done. A hometown in Anna He is a human from the Ji planet. He often comes to the settlement of Kuna's Fang. This is actually a place where the Airu people make a unique spice-Rokna Blue. The Airu people rarely go out. Contact with other races, so their foreign trade has always been done by the human race on the planet Annaji. This person often travels to Tatooine, and I found it.”
"You understand what I want to say."
"Of course, it's done." After Ni Yongxiao finished speaking, he sent a communication band over.
Baron Zemo looked at the person named Russo on the communication band, smiled coldly, connected the communication, and then said gloomily: "Remember Gory on Tatooine? Mr. Russo "
At this moment, he was confronting the people of the Fourth Civilization Pioneer Group outside the mine. A human being who was scolding his face suddenly changed. He took two steps back without leaving a trace and said quietly to the communication: " Who are you? What do you mean?"
"You owed Goli money for gambling on Tatooine, didn't you? In order to get the money back, he said everything...including ...Your family living on the planet Annaji..." Baron Zemo's voice made people's hair stand on end.
"You! What do you want to do! I'm warning you!! I..." Before Russo finished speaking, he saw a picture projected on the holographic projection of the communicator.
Only seeing four or five people wearing animal masks holding guns to the heads of his wife and parents, he quickly turned off the projection and shouted in a low voice: "You...you What do you want to do!? Let go of my family!"
"Then...shoot." Baron Zemo's words suddenly became calm and emotionless.
"Shoot...you mean..."
"That's right. The pioneering group of Dawn Planet is really annoying, right? Shoot and kill them. The same goes for Dawn Planet and I. If you have a grudge, every time you kill 10 people from the Dawn Planet, I will let one of your family members go. Let me count...you have to...kill 30...hehehehe..."
"Shoot? You...the superiors asked us not to shoot..."
"30...shoot!" Baron Zemo shouted sharply.
Rusuo trembled all over, he finally gave up, didn't he just kill a few people from the Dawn Planet? In the past few days, the Airu people have long described the people of the Dawn Planet as a group of stupid, bad, and greedy pariahs. The person who kidnapped his family also claimed that he had a grudge against the Dawn Planet.
Then... kill it! They are just a bunch of untouchables anyway!
Russo's eyes turned cold, and he finally pulled the trigger!
Whoosh!~~~~~The blaster rifle fired out bunches of crimson blaster beams, exploding on the people of the Fourth Civilization Pioneer Group! Several people fell down immediately!
As soon as he saw that the Airu people were actually firing, Tiur roared angrily and rushed forward with the mining laser, and the furious people from the pioneer group also rushed forward!
Seeing that the other side actually dared to charge forward, the Ailu people also pulled the triggers one after another! !
A large number of unarmed members of the pioneer group fell down. Others realized something was wrong and ran away screaming.
"10, 11, 12..." The cold voice in the communication slowly counted in Russo's ears, but the people of the pioneer group had already begun to run away, and he could not catch up. . At this time, he had almost fallen into madness, "There are still... 18 left!"
His red and bloodshot eyes searched around, and finally focused on the mine behind, where there were hundreds of weak untouchables who had been blocked by them for several days!
Baron Zemo looked at the killing with a cruel smile on his lips.
This method is exactly the same as the one he used on the Seriya planet. Of course, it is also very effective. He is good at manipulating people's hearts, so he naturally knows when to give him a push.
He took out the communicator and said calmly: "Mr. Governor, the plan is going smoothly."
"Thank you, Baron Zemo. Finally, remember to wipe your hands and feet clean." Tang Xiao His tone was equally cold.
Baron Zemo smiled faintly and issued an order.
"27, 28, 29..." Russo, who had already entered the mining area and was killing people, suddenly saw the ones wearing animal masks and pointing guns at the heads of his family. People...
Shot fired.
"No!!!!!!!!!!!!" Russo let out a shrill scream.
He fell to the ground and watched the people in the holographic projection walk away, leaving only a few cold corpses. His heart finally collapsed. He stood the blaster rifle on the ground, held the muzzle of the gun in his mouth, and slowly pressed the trigger with a trembling hand...
...
At the same time, the Glory mothership command center.
Tang Xiao waved his hand, "Send the image to the entire galaxy through the holographic network! File a formal accusation against the Airu people in the Galactic Parliament! At the same time, in the name of protecting the safety of the colonists, the Airu people... …
Declare war! ”
