Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 308 Local changes
Hawut's sudden initiative caught Korva and the personnel of the Hero Federation in the alliance quite unexpectedly. The communications and questioning with Hawut were also directly ignored. This kind of blatant violation of the "covenant" This behavior undoubtedly damaged the cohesion of the entire alliance, but Hawut was simply unable to explain the reason to the future "enemies" of the empire.

He could not and could not tell them that the empire was already preparing to launch actions against other civilizations, and that he was doing this to prevent the alliance from being destroyed.

However, Hawut's actions eventually caused a chain reaction. Seeing that the Vege Empire fleet was choked by the zerg swarm, they had previously reduced a lot of workload for the alliance and finally ushered in Korva and Xi. Luo Alliance Army's response, even though they did not receive the information asking for help.

But this kind of help only strengthened Hawut's determination.In today's situation, the alliance has a reason to exist.

By relying solely on the Vege Empire or fighting independently, the effectiveness of the hard-earned defense line in front of them will be minimized.

Zero is now fighting a protracted war with Hawut. The Zerg base has been established in the warring star field. This means that Zero is not even satisfied with the speed of support from the rear and will not let go of all available resources.

If no accidents occur, this is destined to be a long attrition. It is impossible for Veggie with rear support to resist the Zerg attack on the frontal battlefield, unless their single combat power can once again achieve a qualitative breakthrough.

In fact, just in the middle of the war, the swarm was already undergoing some kind of slow iteration.

Absorbing the strengths of the enemy to supplement one's own is the old profession of the Zerg. However, the three major civilizations have done a good job in the field of technical barriers. Whether it is Zero or Mira, it is not enough to conduct reverse research simply from materials. Smoothly, progress is very slow.

But it still has some effect, especially since the Zerg have just completed another round of combat power upgrades not long ago. In comparison, the Vege Empire's warships are not updated so quickly.

....................................

Mira was also directly attacked by Hawut. In order to achieve his goal as much as possible, Hawut did not hesitate to launch a two-front war, trying to force out the strongest combat power of the two enemies who had already joined forces and make the empire's top officials recognize it. Be clear about who the main enemy is at this stage.

However, Mira did not let him get what he wanted. Facing the invasion of the Hawut fleet, Mira's mechanical fleet simply chose to retreat.

Unlike the Zerg, Mira does not have a fixed base. If it is willing, it can just leave and no longer participate in this matter. The three major civilizations have no way to stop it at this stage.

This made Hawut a little confused about how to deal with it. With the performance of the imperial warship, pursuit was a piece of cake. However, the other party just wanted to leave and had no intention of guarding the territory. Even the mature star base was abandoned. , not caring at all how much loss one side will suffer.

Hawut had no choice but to give up on this method of avoiding war.

Fortunately, after Weegee took the initiative to launch the war, the Federation and Korva jointly launched a full-scale attack on the Zerg swarm in various star fields on the front line. It was once like Hawut's style of jumping into the Zerg hinterland at that time.

This involved most of the Zerg's energy. In addition to dealing with the invasion of the Veggie fleet, Zero had to mobilize more Zerg fleets to defend the main star system, because this time the other party was not simply destroying and plundering, they were trying to take root here. !

The area occupied by the Zerg is always facing harassment from the opponent, and even the planet Ori, the place of origin, is under direct threat from the opponent at any time. These Zeros have already accepted it, and they can only do this if they are inferior to others.

But if you want to compress the expansion speed of the Zerg in this way, Zero will never remain indifferent.

He saw Mira's avoidance of war. Regarding this theoretical "ally", Zero didn't know what its current plans were. Judging from the preparations for war, it was obvious that it was not prepared for peace, but this retreat made Zero a little confused. No idea.

Although the Zerg are now like a sieve infiltrated by the Alliance, which looks quite miserable, in fact the Zerg is still in a strategic offensive position. It is precisely because of this clear understanding that Zero does not care what the other party has caused to the Zerg. Casualty figures.

Retreat, Zero doesn't quite understand.Why did Mira, who was almost the same as the Zerg in terms of system, choose to give in?

He couldn't understand it, so he simply stopped thinking. There seemed to be cooperation between the two sides, but in fact, there was very little communication. Compared to the alliance, a true combination of civilizations, the Zerg had always been fighting alone. .

Even without Mira, Zero can win the final victory.

The swarms have never actively retreated, but in fact at this stage, they who are unwilling to evacuate are often directly eliminated within the star system. The alliance is advancing step by step, trying to slowly compress the entire defense line backward.

Zero can understand the opponent's actions. The fleet that penetrates deep into the Zerg territory faces a truly endless swarm of Zerg and needs to keep fighting at all times. Although there is no need to worry about fleet support, the pressure on personnel is quite high. It is impossible to miss, but if you continue If this continues, shrinking the defense line will become inevitable. The main purpose of their massive offensive on the front line is undoubtedly to help Hawut reduce the pressure.

For most of the desolate galaxies, Zero has no determination to defend them resolutely. The swarm has not given up on its own initiative, but there is no more support. They are more likely to guard "strategic locations" such as the wormhole entrance. These places are the swarm of worms. The springboard for advancement is, at least so far, the most important form of Zerg voyage.

If the Zerg brigade breeding in the rear wants to reach the front line, the fastest way is undoubtedly to reach these "transit stations" through wormholes, and then put them where they are needed.

In these star fields, around these strategic points, the Zerg swarm and the Alliance launched the fiercest competition. They were not willing to give in even an inch. No matter how many companions died, there would always be more Zerg units to replace them in the rear. The war seemed to last forever. It won't stop.

Although the Alliance can rely on mobility to break into the galaxy, it cannot destroy the wormhole passage for a long time. Once they reveal such an intention, the Zerg units that maintain the existence of the wormhole will immediately close it, and then the Zerg will usher in the most powerful attack. After a crazy counterattack, there were only two choices left before them, either to evacuate or to destroy.

Korva has many ideas about the Zerg. He has been committed to finding and capturing the Zerg intelligent units for a long time and has never stopped. However, he has never been able to come up with a reliable plan on how to avoid the opponent's self-destruction. Compared with It is too easy to "commit suicide" when attacking.

Until now, they have to face another problem if they want to achieve their goal, that is, they need to find such an existence first.But for hundreds of years, the brainworms have each completed their hidden missions. The endless darkness in the universe is their best protective color.

The Zerg can "eat" itself internally, which means that it is almost impossible to find them by following the flow of resources.

Korva can only try to find another way to deal with this. Over the years, they have captured countless Zerg units, large and small. It can be said that Zerg units have been studied inside and out, including of course Zerg units. In terms of attack methods and attack methods, it stands to reason that they should have more targeted measures to defend against Zerg attacks, but many times, when the number of Zerg reaches a certain scale, those corresponding means have no meaning at all. .Unless they can make their own warships disappear directly into space, as long as the two sides engage in battle, they will not even be able to prevent the Zerg units, which are obviously less maneuverable, from continuously closing the distance.

This is the advantage brought by the absolute number of swarms. Even if the battle loss ratio reaches more than [-], this will not change. On the frontal battlefield, even if the Alliance fleet is always attacking, it will not be able to completely win the real victory. The war will be from the beginning. Entering a stalemate stage, unless they can cut off the follow-up support of the Zerg, or the number of Zerg units destroyed within a unit time far exceeds the number of Zerg replacements.

But if they could do this, the insect swarm would be retreating steadily at this moment.

The two sides continued to increase their efforts on the battlefield, and the fierce battle never stopped for a moment. For Hawut, this may be a good thing. The more combat power the Zerg mobilize, the more powerful the race will be reflected. He believes that the Empire Colleagues in the Center will not ignore this and the potential of the Zerg as an enemy.

However, Hawut's efforts are destined to be in vain.

...............

Rather than saying this is a military blackmail against the Hero Federation and the Korva Empire, it is better to say that this is essentially a political struggle.

While Hawut led the fleet and fought day and night with the Zerg, having explored the core area of ​​the universe, the Vege Empire notified the diplomats of Korva and Hero, expressed their demands, and showed a small Work on your "muscles".

To be honest, when the Federal Council and the Empire's elders accepted Danwei Ji's sudden tough request, their first reaction was surprise. They were not even too angry because of the other party's attitude.

Although the Zerg are still far away from the three major civilizations, it would probably take tens of thousands of years to get here with their current technology!But the opponent's speed of progress is obvious to all, and no one is sure when they will evolve to the point where they can easily skip this endless star field and reach the edge of the explored universe!

Under such a threat, even if they are far away from the endless star field, they start a fight so openly. Do you really feel that you have nothing to worry about?
However, when I think about Vege's internal problems and the madness against foreigners in history, this doesn't seem so hard to accept.

To be fair, when the crisis broke out in Vege, Korva and the Hero Federation did add insult to injury and obtained many explicit or implicit benefits from this huge civilization. Now that the other party has such means, it seems that it There is indeed a reason to "beg" for it back, but this is certainly not a reason to compromise.

How did Weegee get out of the crisis back then? How could it be possible that the Federation and Korva had no knowledge of it?

Such a destructive force can almost be called strategic if there are no countermeasures. Over the years, both sides have made countless efforts to deal with this. How can the two of them do this for Weigi, who directly controls entity research? No precautions?
As a result, Weegee's appeal was unceremoniously rejected. Faced with the threat from the Weegee people, the federal diplomat left only one sentence.

"If you want it, come to the battlefield and get it!"

This was almost a statement equivalent to a declaration of war. Faced with Weegee's blackmail, the Hero Federation chose the toughest response. After all, they were not facing Weegee alone now.

The Federation's main fleet immediately launched a new round of deployment, and some exchanges between Hero and Veggie also immediately stopped.

Although Colva's attitude was not as tough as that of the Hero Federation, it clearly rejected it.

…………

Weegee has no intention of going to war directly with two civilizations of the same level on his own. Although the empire is powerful, if it really does this, it will not be a matter of petty gain, but a matter of life and death!

The previous strategic deterrence can obviously only be used at certain specific moments. Once used on the Federation at this stage, war will break out the next moment!
Although the Vegi people are generally xenophobic, they are not fearless to this extent. The option of inevitable failure is not among their options.

Of course, the previous threats were by no means aimless, and this provocative action was quickly implemented.

Militarily, the two sides started a confrontation in the border star field. Shortly afterwards, the Vege Empire simply chose to withdraw from the alliance, interrupted all support for the alliance, and publicly stated that it would no longer participate in any affairs of the alliance.

At this point, Hawut's efforts have completely failed, and as a result, another round of political reshuffle has been completed within the Vege Empire.

Faced with the tough attitude of the Hero Federation, the Vege Empire chose a restrained tit-for-tat confrontation. Although no direct war broke out, small actions between the two sides began to become more and more frequent.

The Vege Empire, whose political situation has changed, has begun to change its foreign strategy. The long-term "competition and cooperation" between the three major civilizations is gradually fading away, and the alliance that has been maintained for hundreds of years is also at this moment. There is a crisis of disintegration.

At this time, the Verge Center no longer cares whether the Zerg has invaded. With the defense line fully established, there have long been voices within the empire to withdraw troops. They believe that there is no point in the imperial fleet staying there and providing support to the entire alliance.

The Vege people's historical mission within the alliance has been completed, and if they stay any longer, they will just make wedding dresses for others.

Even if this race is allowed to develop like this, it will threaten the empire sooner or later, but no matter what, it will be a long time later. Before that, the Vege Empire, which is almost equivalent to completing the "change of dynasties", needs to rely on the resources in its hands. chips to get more benefits.

After curbing the rapid advancement of the insect swarm, the first priority is development. After all, development is the last word. To take a step back, only by being strong can we take advantage of the war that will inevitably come in the future.

The current political situation within the empire, the many ancient families that have come to power, the new governing philosophy, and the almost unblocked imperial power do not allow them to "compromise" these "alien races" as they did before!
The three major civilizations hold the most resources in the entire explored universe. Facing the boundless starry sky, there does not seem to be much reason for internal fighting. But this is obviously not the case. This struggle has never stopped since ancient times. Now the empire The reason why everything we have done has been supported by almost all citizens is precisely the result of the war that has spread for thousands of years!
