Him and their stars

Mihir Kent was startled for a moment, and then showed a wry smile: "Suddenly, it hurts so much to be slapped in the face by you... But, you do understand better than me. This may be because you are a rentier and a carnivore. That’s the limitation of being a member of the Communist Party.”

"This is not a limitation, but a problem of imagination. We all come from the rentier class. We have no real contact with the people at the bottom and cannot imagine what they think. But this guy Hachiman is different after all. , after all, he is also a military and political general who has presided over the entire construction of New Yumen." Wayne sneered.

"You don't have to be so obviously yin-yang-yang-yang-yang-yang-yang-yang-yang-yang when you say he's an all-rounder in both military and political matters. However, I am indeed very proud." Akinayama Hachiman wiped his glasses clean and put them back on.

Horatio Wayne ignored it and said to Kent: "You have to have confidence in yourself. Although Yu Lian said that you are a cautious person, you are also the best thinker among us."

"What, what's the matter? The more you talk about it, the more it goes too far! And why does it become slang when it comes to me?"

You only listened to the first half of the sentence?

In short, if Horatio Wayne had not shown an expression of impatience, everyone might have discussed some more theoretical issues about the nature of society. However, discussing this kind of issue in public does seem to be a little bit of a political pretense, so it’s better to get back to the topic now.

In short, in the "War of Conviction", both the empire and the community dropped more than 100,000 marine troops on that huge planet in the shortest possible time. At first glance, it's just to grab land... ah no, in order to restore law and order to the planet as soon as possible.

But no matter what, the troops that landed on the empire's side still had advantages in quantity and combat effectiveness. After twelve hours of stronghold attack and surface battles, the two armies of the Empire occupied nine of the twelve settlements and military fortresses, and the Earth side finally captured three.

However, the hidden danger is that one of the settlements occupied by the Earthlings is located exactly in the middle of an isthmus, and it is also located exactly in the center of the sphere of influence of the two empires. If both sides colonize this planet in the future, there will definitely be a geographical conflict...

Well, because of the problem of fleets stationed in orbit, the geopolitical conflicts on the surface are not as important as imagined, but this can't stop people who are interested in looking for trouble in this direction.

Of course, now that everyone is still cooperating sincerely, although most of the main force of the predators has been wiped out, it is estimated that various security wars will still be fought for a while. Anyway, although some people in the Empire said strange things, at least the officials did not raise any objections to the Earth side's occupation of these important places.

However, upon hearing this, Hachiman didn't think it was a good thing and couldn't help but said, "Didn't Teacher Yang object?"

"I objected, but I couldn't find a very convincing reason. Moreover, the landing operation on the Holy Land planet was personally planned by Ms. Tivington, Chief of Staff." Kent said.

"...That accountant lady is really troublesome." Hachiman couldn't help but press his temples.

The so-called "Madam Accountant" is, of course, the nickname of Lieutenant General Tivington, Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Force. This means that the guy's temperament is more like that of a white-collar business elite. In the military, he does the work of a housekeeper and an accountant, but he doesn't look like a chief of staff.

But no matter what, he is also a genuine chief of staff after all. In the previous strategy for the Devil's Throat Fortress, your deputy, Yang Xiyi, already stole the show. Is there no room for the commander to show off?

Therefore, with the support of Admiral Connor Reese, Chief of Staff Tivington formulated a planet landing plan.

Under such circumstances, no matter how polite they were to the "academic" chief of staff who was not worthy of the name, Lieutenant General Seyo and others could not disobey orders. What's more, judging from the facts, this battle is a wealthy battle with orbital air supremacy and absolutely superior military strength. It can't be said that there will be any great performance, but at least there are no visible flaws. The community's marine forces indeed successfully completed the set tactical objectives.

In this case, even with Yang Xiyi's current prestige, he still couldn't persuade the army to give up the spoils because of some "ominous premonition".

However, since it is a Holy Land star region larger than Yaochi, how can the Empire be willing to share it with the community? How is this a trophy? It was obviously bait with poison, right?

Thinking of this, Hachiman suddenly understood: "I understand what Teacher Yang means. Once the handover with Yaochi is completed, I will rush back to Xinyumen as soon as possible."

Kent nodded and added: "Teacher Yang said that he also hoped that everything was due to his overthinking, but since the times have given us responsibilities, we must prepare for a rainy day."

Wayne sneered: "How can such a good thing happen? Something will happen here in the New World."

"...King Thoraine and Admiral Conneris held a press conference together last week, saying that they had reached a preliminary consensus. They said that such a chosen and promised land should not belong to one country, but Belongs to all intelligent races in the universe. I hope to be hosted in the name of the Galactic Civilization Council, put aside the sovereignty dispute, and develop together. I also hope to change this star field into the Dawn Star Territory, and hope to become a place for all countries and races in the universe. Let’s join hands to start the dawn of a prosperous and peaceful future,” Kent said. But at the end of the sentence, his own tone gradually weakened, and it was obvious that he didn't quite believe it.

"It's because of this press conference that I feel that something will happen. The more something is lacking, the more something will be promoted. This has been true since ancient times." Horatio Wayne said: "And, haven't we already had a conflict? ?”

It’s not about fighting for spoils and territory. After all, the Dawn Star Territory is so big that Zhandu cannot occupy it, and everyone's main focus is on chasing down the remaining enemies. The empire now doesn't even pay much attention to its own younger brothers secretly demarcating territory, let alone being as knowledgeable as the people on earth.

However, on that holy planet, the two parties still clashed, and they were only one step away from a conflict.

This happened before the press conference that "announced the arrival of dawn" began. The troops of the Hell Paratrooper Division, who had just occupied a settlement, met the men of the 141st Imperial Stormtrooper Division in an uninhabited wilderness during their normal patrol. There was about a company of fierce Wulfling soldiers on the other side, escorting thousands of prisoners of war.

Of course, among these prisoners of war there were soldiers from the raiders, but there were also slave workers from other races, and there were even a considerable number of old, weak, women and children.

"Are you going?" The officer leading the team was Captain Parkin, who had become the company commander. He is currently carrying a reinforced company of more than 180 people plus all vehicles. On the one hand, he is patrolling, on the other hand, he is exploring, and on the other hand, he is training. In terms of military strength alone, he has an absolute advantage, and his attitude has become much more complicated. .

Captain Wofflin, who was leading the team opposite, probably thought of this as well, and behaved quite politely: "Clean the ground?"

"Clean, clean..."

"Yes, this planet is so sacred, and it should not be left with such filth. However, if you shoot it directly, it can only be used as fertilizer at most, but if you rush to the wilderness over there, it is possible to kill a feather Bring out the king beast."

"Yu, Yuwangmon?"

"Yes, yesterday a reconnaissance drone indeed discovered the existence of a planet lord-level phantom beast, which is very similar to the Feather King Beast. The gentlemen of the Knights ordered me to collect traces of him as much as possible. I estimate that the Feather King Beast The beast is a phantom beast that likes to attack large groups of prey, and since it looks so similar, it’s impossible to lure him out.”

To be fair, Captain Parkin is just an ordinary officer, not so full of class emotions, but as an ordinary person, his simple sense of justice and compassion still exist. Even if he encounters trolls, bearded demons, and Eero warriors, he will kill them without hesitation and use the most effective means to eliminate them. However, this does not mean that he will attack women and children who are unable to restrain themselves. What's more, there are many clearly slave workers present.

The soldiers of the Hell Parachute Division have been stationed in Yaochi for a little over a month. They have had many interactions with the slave workers in the settlement and know very well what state they are in.

Most of them are just a group of poor people who live by instinct.

"Let them go!" Captain Parkin raised his gun and aimed at the Wulfling company commander: "I said, let them go!"

Then, after a brief period of confusion, the Earthlings and the Wulflings under the Empire also hurriedly raised their weapons and began a long confrontation. On the contrary, the prisoners who were about to be sent to the hunting ground were all at a loss.

Fortunately, the overall situation now is still a moment of sincere cooperation between the coalition forces of the galactic countries. Although everyone used their fists, they did not use weapons after all, and no deaths occurred. After more senior officers arrived, the conflict was finally resolved.

Captain Parkin was placed in solitary confinement, but after negotiations with Yang Xiyi, Lieutenant General Seyo and others, no further punishment was given. On the contrary, he was a blessing in disguise. His name really spread to the ears of the generals, ordinary soldiers and officers, and he was said to be "this old Parkin is a man and can handle things."

However, while Brother Parkin was in confinement, Lieutenant Colonel Winters' troops were already on the other side of the planet and saw with their own eyes that the Imperial Army burned an already large-scale new city to the ground. Imperial stormtroopers blocked all intersections with machine guns, tearing to pieces any movable targets that tried to escape the flames.

"Suddenly I feel that we have become the evil invaders." Lieutenant Colonel Winter lamented in a depressed mood.

However, he just sighed now.

The cosmic war between nations and races has been like this for more than a thousand years before the beginning of the common calendar, and it is estimated that it will be like this in the next thousand years.

It is inevitable that both sides on the battlefield will be furious and commit atrocities against prisoners of war and even the people in the occupied areas. There may be people who have experienced a series of bloody battles, but can still maintain the sanity and conscience of normal people, but there are no violent groups like the army.

This is human nature that is difficult to avoid and difficult to overcome!

What's more, those who were harmed were only predators. To put it bluntly, they are enhanced versions of pirates, and they never have human rights. The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army have many things to do all day long, but they have no time to distinguish the difference between soldiers and slaves.

Moreover, it was the stormtroopers who took action after all, not even the panzer grenadiers, let alone the always spotless and honorable Astral Knights.

By the time His Royal Highness Brunhilt, King of Sulyuka, took over the law enforcement and supervision of the entire army, it was said that more than one million prisoners of war and slave labor had died at the hands of the empire.

...Of course, the community's military has actually done similar things. However, after Lieutenant General Seyo personally killed a brigade commander and three regiment commanders, military discipline suddenly improved a lot.

"Miss Melia in "Cold Hill" hoped that the colonel would be her savior, so she paid a lot of money, but was fooled by fate! But rather than being fooled by fate, it is better to say that she was taken advantage of by the bad guys with pus from the soles of their feet. Now. I have already played a bad guy once, and labor and management are not bad guys in the real world!"

Lieutenant General Seyo said this before killing the brigade commander with his own hands.

It is difficult for everyone to imagine what the brigade commander who was shot was thinking before he died. However, his head is indeed very useful in improving military discipline.

In short, this is the source of the "minor friction" between the Community and the Empire. With small frictions, there will naturally be insurmountable contradictions, and of course it is even more necessary to prepare for a rainy day. This is Yang Xiyi's plan.

"Speaking of which, Yu Lian started the layout in Xinyumen so early. Did he also expect this?" Kent said.

Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses and fell into deep thought.

But Horatio Wayne laughed: "You guys think too highly of you. I believe there are far-sighted strategists in this world, and he may be one of them, but strategy is not witchcraft after all, he is just I’m just addicted to farming.”

Both of them immediately felt that what the red-haired man said made sense.

However, when it comes to farming, the friends of the Lion Heart Society naturally become more dissatisfied with the empire's atrocities.

"Even from an extreme realism perspective, those Tiruiro orangutans are quite a waste! There are planets that can be developed everywhere in the Dawn Star Territory, and manpower is needed everywhere." Wayne said.

"Don't you know what the Empire does? Their conquests have lasted for more than two thousand years since the Age of Discovery. All races that are willing to obey the Royal Family of the Dawn can be brought into the arms of the Empire. Until now, the Empire has directly The number of intelligent races we control is in three digits, right? But now, the total human population still exceeds 50%, and it controls almost all of the most prosperous and easily accessible galaxies." Kent said.

"Development can be a little slower, but the country must not be chaotic." Akina San said.

"In this regard, the Alliance does a better job than the Empire. Non-stop wars always create refugees all the time, including the Cirke Kingdom, the Principality of Hyrule, the Fermo Nebula, and the New World. But as long as the national government is not kidnapped by the populists, , Refugees can actually create value. As long as the refugees want to find a way to live and work in peace and contentment, they can use cheap illegal labor to replace formal workers. Such good consumables can just stay." Kent sighed:

"Of course, the universe is so big, and now there is a new continent. There is always a place to act as a pressure relief valve for people who have lost their jobs, and they don't have to worry about getting lost. Moreover, for carnivores, the pioneers who have lost everything are comparable to those who have lost everything. It is much easier for middle-class immigrants with stable jobs and property. Unfortunately, the community is also learning from the alliance, but it is afraid that it will not be like reaping the consequences of learning."

Seeing his two friends looking at him, Mihir Kent laughed: "This is not my own opinion, but what was said in a letter from an old man named Tan Jize. Although I have not added it, you all Have you heard of his name? He will definitely be a leader in the same trench in the future, so I have been communicating with him. This is a real genius, and he has understood the essence of society. "
