The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"The invasion of the Geth is irrefutable. Eden star is wide open at this moment. Tens of millions of people on the planet are facing death threats. Are you going to ignore this?"

"We've said that when humans went there to establish colonies, they knew the risks."

This answer is exactly in line with Oregana's thoughts:

"Okay, I understand what you think. But Eden cannot be defenseless. If you don't want to intervene, then we will protect the people on Eden. If you have anything to do, come to Eden to find us, we will Accept any time and any form of visit, you can choose the time and form yourself." She said word by word, "but remember, when the gun is fired, someone dies, and If someone cries, someone will know that kingship is not eternal, that order is not as unbreakable as it seems, and..."

"It is clear that I chose to step into a crazy age."

This time it was the turn of the three ambassadors that the atmosphere became more sinister, but Ambassador Udina relaxed after listening.

Maybe there is no need to change foreign policy...probably...

————————————————————————————————————

(or tonight)

Chapter 1195 Chapter 214: The Black and White Cat 0w0

The meeting ended successfully. (fog)

Oregana is very satisfied with the result, and her acting skills have reached a new level - judging from the expressions on the faces of the three ambassadors just now, they are very dissatisfied.There are basically no people who can still look calm after being provocative like riding a face, which is exactly what Alicia predicted before.

There is only one reaper in this cosmic threat for the time being, but at this point in time, everyone does not know about it. The only person in the Citadel Council who knows about it is Shepard. He got the information from the previous Prothean relic But at the moment he still doesn't understand what those images are talking about.The number of Reapers is temporarily unknown, and their assistants are also unknown. Judging from the previous performance of the God's Castle Council, if they are directly told that such a thing exists, most of them will not listen, let alone believe it.

It may be too late for the two parties to gradually develop a sense of trust according to the formal process, so Alicia's idea is to adopt shock therapy.In diplomacy, the power of language is supported by strength, and the content on the negotiating table is determined by things outside the negotiating table, so it is necessary to create an opportunity for them to stand on the opposite side and see what the Ministry of Consolidation is doing. What you have outside the negotiating table.

She unceremoniously found a sofa and sat down, holding the cat in her arms who was eager to try and scratch the sofa:

"Liu Lizi, notify Captain Kruze to deploy the Qian Zheng Order..."

Liu Lizi waved his hand:

"The Qianzheng Order is still being repaired. I heard that the weaponry is only 43% installed, and the Rainbow Sky Sword has not yet been installed."

In the previous battle, Qianzheng Order was severely damaged, and it is still under repair and cannot be used for a short time.

"Ah...then deploy the Mobile Iron Wall Vortex of Doom to the Eden system."

The mobile iron wall destroys the vortex, which is a trial-produced combat power auxiliary iron wall equipped with a "light" type guidance beacon and a fleet delivery system.Its function is more inclined to logistics than combat, and its ability as a transfer station is first-class, which is suitable for use in the current situation. A major axis of 110 kilometers would make it the largest man-made celestial body ever seen by any race of the Citadel Council.

"Yeah!" Liu Lizi nodded, and she asked after sending the order back to the headquarters, "But is it okay?"

Alicia sat down gracefully, and the maid handed warm tea in a timely manner. Katari people do not have the habit of drinking hot tea, and most Katari people have no way to put food over [-] degrees into their mouths:

"It's true that this will increase their tension, but..." Her eyes lingered on Ambassador Udina for a moment, "Any political system that has lasted for a long time has a basic judgment, which can make They kept calm and made reasonable judgments as soon as possible. And this time our opponent is a 'parliament', do you understand the 'parliament', Liu Lizi."

Liu Lizi nodded, she flicked her tail twice:

"Everyone chooses a group of people to be the master? The chosen people represent the interests of the people who chose them?"

"Uh, meow... that's roughly true. The 'members' of the God's Castle Council don't represent the citizens and interest groups in conventional countries, but represent the civilization behind them. But the essence is not much different." The monarch A senior nobleman under the system of government said, "In general, what the parliamentarians have to do is to seek benefits for the interest groups that voted them in the parliament, so that the problem arises."

"If the power of the parliament does not have a fixed, clear and clear goal, its efficiency will decline rapidly in at least a few decades. At first, the error-correcting function that the parliament should have-that is, the supervision function disappeared, and then the problem of corruption began to appear... Money transactions lead to the expansion of interest groups with large enterprises as the core, resulting in larger-scale power-money transactions. Interest groups pull each other and cannot make decisions, making it difficult to implement long-term plans, and short-term plans are easily dragged into long-term plans. Lose the ability to react quickly to events that should be reacted quickly—such as natural disasters and wars.”

Ambassador Udina is very clear that what she said is correct. Judging from her personal experience over the years, the Council of God’s Castle is indeed slow to respond in many places. There are too many meetings to be held, and too many aspects need to be scrupled. The three council races will also play against each other, making the already slow response even slower.However, the Council of God's Castle also knows that this situation exists, and ghost agents are one of the ways to solve this problem.

But the problem now lies in the not particularly reliable system of Ghost Agent.

"You're right, there is indeed such a problem in the council..." Ambassador Udina recalled the chaotic human situation before the first contact with the Turians, and couldn't help sighing, "May I ask Let me ask you, Ms. Ugudora Hill's race uses..."

"We are a monarchy."

"????" (black question mark face)

"There are many races in the Ministry of Consolidation, and each race has its own characteristics, and the political system is naturally different." Oregana showed a delicate expression, "The one that suits you is the best, isn't it?"

"Indeed...indeed..."

The Cathars are about the least suitable race for a parliamentary system, and the flaws of a regular parliament don't even show up—because before that, it will be full-blown civil war.What the Katari people need is a powerful, wise and charismatic king—this is the most suitable model for Katari tested by their ancestors with blood. Long periods of 'no civil war' prosperity.

But the monarchy is actually quite troublesome and dangerous, because the monarch has semi-unlimited rights in the system, once this guy is unreliable, it will be completely overturned...

Since the establishment of the God's Citadel Council, it has been extremely stable due to the technical advantages of the founders, and it has gone smoothly for 700 years. This kind of stable days must now come to an end.

"So we have to put some external pressure on them," Alicia Ugudora Hill said. "They know how to choose, this should be a new experience."

Ambassador Udina nodded quietly.

"And as long as Saren's betrayal is confirmed..."

"There are all the witnesses and evidence, and Saren will definitely not be able to turn over." David Anderson seemed a little happy for some reason. "And the dead can't speak, and he can't hire a lawyer for himself."

In my memory, the captain seemed to have a bit of a feud with Saron when he was young, but Oregana couldn't remember exactly why.However, Oregana understands that he wants Saron to be deflated both in public and in private, but she still has to pour some cold water on the captain:

"If he's not dead, then all our evidence is perjury."

Shepard on the side showed anger on his face:

"How is it possible? I saw him blown to pieces with my own eyes—this damned traitor brought a few good soldiers to back him up!"

The Ministry of Consolidation left a good impression on humans, especially soldiers and people, on Eden.They dragged out the soldiers who were waiting to die in the boat and stuffed them into the hospital ship, searched for survivors in the wreckage of the ground battlefield, and worked with the local troops to provide assistance to the disaster-recovered people, and even assisted a large number of housing, power supply facilities and related basic equipment.In the news, the news that the soldiers of the Ministry of Consolidation and the local children became friends was scrolling, and the picture of the Prometheus transport boat hoisting the prefabricated house was also printed on the front page of the newspaper.

Soldiers are ready to die, but who wants to die?It is a relief to anyone to see their comrades who were supposed to die survive.The mechanic named Luo Jue who was the first to enter the battlefield to rescue became a popular star on Eden. Soldiers who wanted to buy him a drink lined up in a long line, and the 18-meter-high robot also It's popular - the models are already on sale, and even Shepard wants to have one for his room.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Shepard felt uncomfortable.Those missiles were obviously aimed at Saren, and he must have some equipment on his body to assist in the missiles' locking.At that time, he shouldn't have thought about the captives. He smashed his head with one shot and threw the body away, and nothing happened. In the end, he wasted three lives in vain.

But Oregana, who lost her subordinate, waved her hand lightly:

"What if he's not a turian anymore?" she asked a pointed question. "He's messing with the geth, after all."

"This……"

Shepard was silent.

Oregana's analysis is very reasonable. Everyone knows what a geth is. It is an out-of-control omnic that can drive a mature interstellar civilization away from its home planet. Its combat power is very high. How high is it?It is so high that the Citadel Council knew that this was a huge threat, and they did not send troops to pay it in the Perseus Veil... One way of saying is that the fleet size of the Citadel Council has not increased much in the past few hundred years (because the Fari Xen Treaty), but you don’t care about the sleepless robots. Geths really want to rush out to punish the whole world, and the Citadel may not win.

Since they haven't come out for hundreds of years, just treat them as if they don't exist, as long as you stay away from the God of God galaxy and don't go in casually to provoke geth-this is how the Citadel Council deals with geth now.

And strength is usually linked to technical prowess. Directors more than a century ago would have thought of robots imitating humans to mix in, but how can people nowadays not think of it?And what's worse than that time is that robots that can pretend to be humans only existed in fantasy at that time, but now...geth may really have this ability, after all, they were transformed into robots on Eden. Shepard had seen the human corpse himself.Although they don't look alike, but if they spend more time and effort, then it's not necessarily the case...

Ambassador Udina and Captain Anderson also had serious expressions on their faces.

Oregana didn't continue talking, she stood up:

"Let us know the results of the hearing, and we will leave God's Citadel now and go to Eden to set up defenses."

"Aren't you going to the shop we agreed to?"

Oregana waved her hands again and again:

"No, no, no."

Watching several people sailing towards the port through the traffic equipment, Kaideng suddenly said:

"Is this the relationship between a general and a diplomat? I don't think so."

"Don't inquire so much."

----------------------

In the dim room, a Salari was seriously looking at the image on the screen - he and his companions had already noticed that this new force entering the Citadel was no simple guy.

Asari have a long lifespan (up to thousands of years old). When encountering new races or new situations, they are more inclined to conduct long-term observation and research rather than take immediate action, but their foresight is not only moderate The most direct manifestation is that their ability to respond is insufficient.Because my life is long enough, so it doesn't matter if I wait and see...

The Turians' meritocracy, maintained by the civic and personal sense of responsibility established at an early age, can maintain their social system very well, but they appear dull to the outside world-they are good at fighting, methodical, cautious and patient, but whether it is good or bad Bad, they think the greatest personal sin is lying about your actions... so you still play politics and intelligence with a hammer?

Therefore, the only race that can be responsible for the mind and intelligence management of the Citadel is the Salari, who has keen observation and non-linear thinking.They are warm-blooded amphibians with an extremely active metabolism, quick to think, talk and move.But also because of this metabolic rate, their lifespan is relatively short. They pay attention to a [-]-year-old, and an Asari can read the history of [-] generations of the Salary family in a lifetime.

Salarian intelligence personnel belong to a division called the Special Service Group (STG).Special Operations Operators operate in separate teams to carry out dangerous missions such as counter-terrorism, infiltration, reconnaissance, assassination and sabotage.The Secret Service is a pre-response organization, defusing a crisis before it arises.At any given time, there are more than a dozen groups secretly operating in the Jieshen Galaxy to drive apart different factions. Folk analysts have also noticed that the heroes in the Jieshen Galaxy often die suddenly and suddenly.And now, the content of the intelligence officer's investigation is precisely this force that has just come into contact with the Citadel.

During the battle on Eden and the aftermath, the Consolidation Department dispatched five ships with completely different styles. Their design philosophy was hugely surprising, and it was obvious that they were products of different civilizations.Moreover, the weapon system and shield system also have huge surprises—it’s embarrassing to say, because although the ships of so many races in the Citadel Council look different, their core and design concepts are exactly the same. It's all designed around Mass Effect and Zero, and it's only now that Salari are seeing 'different ships' for the first time, and the power they can bring to bear on the battlefield.

To be honest, the moment they saw the battle report, the Salari knew that if a war really started, the dreadnoughts of the Citadel would not be their opponents.

Because the dreadnoughts of the Citadel Council are designed around mass effects and zero elements, the protection is completely designed for mass effect accelerators, and does not pay attention to lasers and other directed energy weapons.And the warships of the Consolidation Department have laser weapon technology beyond imagination. Once they fight, the dreadnoughts of the God's Citadel are equivalent to streaking.And the protection technology developed in that "complex weapon environment" must be the type that can properly deal with all types of strikes.

And what about the strength of that hull?Plowing through the atmosphere from space to the ground without a single crew member dying?What about the weapons that can penetrate this hull?A random calculation will show that up to five geth dreadnoughts of the same size can definitely easily defeat the defense fleet of the Citadel.

The geth attack on the outside of the Perseus Veil was by no means an accident, and should be considered the beginning of a large-scale geth operation.If the geth really got serious, the number of existing ships is simply not enough, and there is no chance of winning.

Turning to the Ministry of Concord may be the only way for the Citadel Council to survive.Moreover, although the other party used a provocative attitude, it was a response to the provocation of the parliament. Generally speaking, they maintained considerable restraint, and at the same time mentioned that they could go to the Eden star for talks-this is what it means to accept visits of any kind at any time .

If it was just Salary United, it would be time to talk now.But the point is not like this, this is the council, not the words of Salari, and it will take some work to convince Turian and Ashali—Turian is very angry at the accusation of Saren by humans, and The world's long-standing hostility to human beings may lead to accidents, and the evidence must be presented in front of them to convince them.

In other words, this is also an alternative step.

There are as many people who hate Saren... The Salari's fingertips moved on the touch screen, and finally placed on a picture of a Turian:

"Just him."

Galas Vakarian, he is an excellent turian sniper and combat engineer.He was born in Paleven and joined the Citadel Security Department like his father-like most of the Citadel Security Department operators, Galas Vakalian has a strong sense of justice and hates Ghost Agents because The very existence of ghosts is a violation of the law.He'll be a great helper in finding clues.

"Create a coincidence and let him meet with Major John Shepard." He blinked vigorously, "Mobilize the team of God's Citadel to investigate Saren's past intelligence network, and don't be noticed. If you have any news, let me know immediately .”

"clear."

The subordinates took orders to go out, and the Salari leaned back on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

He watched the shuttle from the command department slowly leave the Citadel... Wait?Didn't they go to the mass repeater?Is it going to sail directly through the nebula and leave?Just the shuttle machine, the defense ability has this kind of...

In the next moment, a rust-colored dreadnought appeared outside the Citadel in a red light without warning.

"?!?!?!??!"

After the shuttle drove into the dreadnought, the giant ship disappeared in the red light, as if it had never appeared at all.Even with the thinking speed of the Salari, he didn't realize what happened.In shock, the cup that was just picked up in his hand fell to the ground, and the liquid in it spilled all over the floor.

According to previous information, at least two hours ago, that ship should have been on Eden Star...

None of the quality repeaters were activated... It's right to say that there is no Prothean in their world, and there is no quality repeater. They can only rely on themselves.There is no repeater, so the ability of long-distance maneuvering must be integrated on the ship; there is no mass effect field and zero element, so their weapons develop freely; because weapons develop freely, they have more complex and reliable defense systems.

The two sides have been completely different from the very beginning.

----------------------

The deployment of the mobile iron wall destruction vortex has been completed. With the help of the 'light' guidance beacon on the fortress, the Very Leopard successfully returned to Eden Star after several jumps.

A team of eleven Paladin-class marauders has arrived. Although they can be parked in the iron wall, the drivers still maintain a considerable patrol intensity in shifts in order to create momentum.In addition to the eleven Latin-class plunder ships at the core of the fleet, the four Fox Demon-class electronic attack ships responsible for electronic suppression operations, and the three Guardian-class logistics ships equipped with remote armor repairers all accompanied them in battle formation.

"We are like actors on the Takarazuka stage, dressed gorgeously, and performing on a vast stage for others to see." Monica showed a somewhat bored expression in the hydrostatic cabin, "This job is not suitable for me, Meredith ,What do you think?"

Meredith was indifferent to her companion's complaints:

[You can just treat it as a military parade? 】
