I, revise the agreement and hand it over to the country

When they went all out to attack, they found that after entering the opponent's territory, the original feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife was no longer there.

The defensive forces on those star bases, sporadic ships counterattack, are like paper tigers, which can be broken with a snap of fingers.

It is as if the shadow that hung over the entire human civilization a year ago was just an illusion.

Xu Zhiqing felt that he could lead the fleet to go straight to Huanglong and attack the capital of the Starfish Empire.

But soon he came back to his senses and stopped his dangerous thought in time.

The goal of this expeditionary self-defense counterattack is to destroy the Starfish Empire's important resource points and star bases on non-inhabited planets, and to destroy the opponent's development system established over more than 200 years.

At the same time, according to the clues of the starfish spies, skip the ruling class of the starfish empire, and directly talk to the forces of the local colonial planet, expressing their willingness to coexist peacefully with them.

Of course, the task of contacting local colonial planets is definitely not done by soldiers fighting in the war. When they pass through those galaxies, there will be dedicated people using their ships as a springboard to contact the local forces of the colonial planets.

"Hasn't the Starfish Empire's fleet arrived yet?"

Xu Zhiqing asked the intelligence commissioner in charge of detection.

"According to the news from the spies, Starfish's fleet only took a long time to form the formation when we destroyed the second star base, and now it is slowly sailing from the capital galaxy."

The intelligence officer looked at the simulated data on the computer with a puzzled expression, "According to the opponent's forward speed, when we catch up with us, we may have completed the combat mission and returned."

"What's the reason?" Xu Zhiqing didn't understand what Haixing's fleet was thinking.

When solving the armed forces of the star bases, he found that these star bases had very strong armed forces, but when they arrived, these armed forces only sporadically counterattacked and defended, and most of them were waiting to be activated. If it didn't start, it was destroyed by them.

For the ordinary workers who surrendered, the fleet did not make things difficult for them and allowed them to leave on their own in lifeboats. After they left, they detonated the base's energy reactor and blew up the star base.

These star bases are currently too far away from the border of the Eastern Plains. Taking over them is of no use other than falling into a tug-of-war with the Starfish Empire. It is better to destroy them.

"No matter what the other party is thinking, you can't relax." Xu Zhiqing emphasized: "In addition, it is not good to attack their civilians at will, so as to prevent the other party from jumping over the wall in a hurry."

When their fleet attacks, the news of not harming the surrendered Starfish will definitely spread throughout the Starfish Empire.

Then, wherever they go, they will most likely encounter little resistance. Unless they are loyal people, the remaining starfish will choose to surrender and let the fleet take over the galaxy, and then they leave in a lifeboat.

There are starfish spies working internally to create public opinion and kidnap the elders, so that they dare not punish the escaped starfish, so that the combat goal can be quickly and smoothly completed.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the Council of Elders orders the punishment of the refugees. At that time, public opinion can be raised, saying that the Council of Elders treats their own people worse than outsiders.

By this time, I believe that the thinking of many starfish will change from extreme xenophobia to xenophobia.

Stockholm Syndrome, even in the face of aliens, can also occur.

----------

"The Presbyterian Church is still the same as before, ignoring our friendly greetings. I am Wang Yi, the diplomatic ambassador of the Eastern Republic of Humanity, and respected Governor Haixing."

Wang Yi, the representative of the diplomatic mission who was selected to talk to the governor of Starfish's colonial planet, looked at Starfish who agreed to talk to them and appeared on the holographic projection, and smiled slightly.

"Hello, humans, I am Xing Zankarava, the executive governor of Xing-le Haixing. My planet is the closest habitable planet in the entire empire to you. I am very grateful that your fleet did not attack our star base."

The two sides are connected with a real-time translation program provided by Qiu Baiyu, which allows for barrier-free dialogue.

"Governor Star Zankarawa, hello, sorry for the harm you have caused to you in the recent period, please forgive me, if it weren't for the elders of the empire who have been ignoring our diplomatic requests and attacking our territory for no reason, we would not It’s come to this point.” Wang said.

"I know that I actually don't like what the Presbyterian Church and the Imperial Capital do. They are too arrogant. In comparison, I would rather communicate with advanced civilizations in the universe." Zangkarava said.

In fact, Zankarava was also a supporter of extreme xenophobic ideas before.

But when Dongyuan's expeditionary fleet arrived at his door, his ideas consciously changed to being pro-foreign, and he no longer recognized the empire's boastful and purist ideas, and was willing to accept invitations from alien civilizations for exchanges.

If you still think that you are noble and think that other people's fleets will not drop bombs into the planet, then you are a pure fool.

In addition, this galaxy is a bit far away from the capital, and there have already been voices of rebellion and independence in the interior of the planet under the deliberate instigation of certain forces.

As the governor, he also needs to make a decision whether to lead the people to become independent.

Although as a frontier star field, the resources here are not as rich as other places, but it has all the necessary technology and resources, and it already has the conditions to go out independently. It only needs an opportunity.

Now, this opportunity has come.

Dongyuan will not support or oppose other countries' independence events, because one of Dongyuan's ideas is 'non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries'.

Therefore, what Dongyuan is doing now is just because the Presbyterian Church is unwilling to communicate with itself, so it is 'forced' to communicate with the Starfish unit at the next level to express its peaceful wishes.

As a sign of sincerity, the expedition fleet will not attack the galaxies that Star Zangkarava, the governor of Xing-Lehai Star, can control. Instead, it will jump over and attack other galaxies.

"The fleet from the capital should be here, right? I wonder how you are going to deal with it?" Star Zangkarawa asked.

"If they are willing to communicate, we can coexist peacefully and withdraw from the empire's territory, but if they still have no intention of negotiating peace, we will fight to the end, and we will definitely win!"

Chapter 317 I Still Like Your Unruly Look

"This expedition is even smoother than the Ninth Fleet's previous stealing."

Kong Xiaoyu, a psychic who was unable to join the expedition fleet as he wished and went to Qiu Baiyu's big house every day to complain, was sighing.

"Damn it, Team Autumn, why don't you let me go on an expedition, what a good opportunity to exercise."

Qiu Baiyu gave her a sideways look, "What do you want to practice? Just let the young soldiers go, obediently do your job well."

Kong Xiaoyu looked depressed, "Where do I have any part-time job, don't I just hang around here all day, my bones are almost rusting."

"Your psychic powers are very unique and are a very good research object. If we can unlock the secrets of the virtual realm, it will be very beneficial to our development."

"This is not the real virtual realm, it's just a simulated virtual realm."

"But it also has the function of the virtual environment. For example, after putting things in, it can make the things put in still exist, which is very useful for the preservation of many items."

Qiu Baiyu smiled slightly, "Furthermore, in the future, you can combine your psionic ability with your master's psionic ability to develop a psionic jump engine for ships, and the entire interstellar world can go wherever it wants."

"...I'm afraid it won't be done until my master dies."

"No, by the time your master is old, our research on genetic engineering will definitely be able to remove the aging gene, and combined with periodic cell regeneration treatment, we can completely achieve the purpose of extending lifespan."

Death is also controlled by genes, which is a long known biological secret.

However, just trying to get rid of aging and death cannot achieve the same life span as the world, because the number of cell divisions is limited.

If you want to continue to prolong your lifespan, you need periodic cell regeneration therapy to regenerate cells and continue to metabolize—of course, this does not mean that people will not die due to accidents and diseases.

This technology has not been developed yet, but it will be soon.

"Okay, don't complain anymore. You are now my bodyguard and psychic researcher, and you belong to civil servants. Don't always think about going out to fight."

Qiu Baiyu patted Kong Xiaoyu on the shoulder, "No matter how strong your psychic ability is, and how powerful your armor is, once an antimatter missile comes down, you can only be enraged on the spot. Wouldn't it be better to follow me and be a salted fish?"

"..."

Kong Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue.

In fact, she was just looking for an excuse to spend money.

After living for so long, even if I deliberately let my heart show the attitude and behavior of a girl, I still know what I should know.

"Although you can't go to the battlefield in person, if you want to know the situation on the scene, it's still possible."

Qiu Baiyu smiled slightly, and after obtaining authorization from the command center, he contacted Xu Zhiqing, the captain of the expedition fleet.

"How is the situation now?" Qiu Baiyu asked.

Seeing that it was Qiu Baiyu who asked, Xu Zhiqing quickly said, "The current battle plan is going well, and the combat objectives have been preliminarily completed, and we are ready to return."

"Where's the fleet of the Starfish Empire?"

"They are still on their way." A strange look appeared on Xu Zhiqing's face, "They are not expected to arrive when we return."

Qiu Baiyu pondered for a moment, "I see."

Next to him, Kong Xiaoyu interjected, "Tell me, is their purpose not to fight against you at all, but to ensure that after you leave, those colonial planets in the border star field will not rebel?"

Xu Zhiqing was slightly taken aback, "Is this possible?"

"Really." Qiu Baiyu nodded, "I'll come to find out the situation. If this is the case, you can tell Lao Zhu yourself."

Xu Zhiqing: "...Okay."

The only person in the world who dares to call Zhu Mingda "Old Zhu (pig)" is probably Academician Qiu, right?

An expedition fleet far away in the Starfish Empire.

After Qiu Baiyu cut off the call, Xu Zhiqing thought about it and decided to ask the ground command center what to do.

If the Starfish Empire is intentionally divided, it is also a good choice to deliberately go back and get rid of all the Starfish ships, which can greatly weaken the military strength of the Starfish Empire and allow those starfish colonial planets to become independent smoothly.

The communication was quickly connected, and Xu Zhiqing told Zhu Mingda and many staff officers and commanders of the ground command center about the guesses that Qiu Baiyu and Kong Xiaoyu had mentioned to him.

Zhu Mingda pondered for a moment, "This fleet is indeed an obstacle, but if you change the battle plan without authorization, unnecessary risks will arise. If you deliberately turn around and attack them, the risk is too high."

He looked up at the many staff commanders in the command center, "What do you think?"

"The risk is too great to be advisable."

"It's easy to cause extra problems. If the expedition fleet is accidentally delayed, it will be difficult to return."

"I agree. To be on the safe side, I suggest returning as planned."

"..."

Basically, everyone doesn't support going out of their way to cause trouble with other people's fleets.

Because if you go back to find someone, there is a high probability that they will not fight, but will instead deal with them, consuming the time, supplies and ammunition of the expedition fleet.

At that time, it will be easy for the expedition fleet to fall into the quagmire.

It is better to ignore them and continue to fight step by step to reduce the loss to an acceptable range.

"Alright, since everyone doesn't support sending troops to the Starfish Fleet, let's go according to the original plan. As for those Governors of Starfish who have shown us kindness..."

Zhu Mingda thought for a while, and suddenly showed a relieved smile.

"Let the think tank have a headache. We, the bosses, shouldn't have to think about this kind of thing."

Everyone in the command center couldn't help laughing.

As a combat headquarters, if you call them rough guys, they will probably be laughed at by others.

If you are really a big boss, how can you make all kinds of good decisions?

No matter how powerful a soldier is, if he has a good-for-nothing commander who is good at cooking and loves to play, and likes to micro-manipulate the "tactic" of moving a machine gun five meters to the left, he will be like Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The cards are smashed.

But to be able to do such a thing as an emperor and surrender and serve as a leader is probably the only one he can do.

But, why not leave things to better people to think about that you shouldn’t let yourself think about?
