Seizing the Initiative

"Your Grand Governor, it seems like only yesterday that we parted, but today we meet again, and yet so many years have passed. Time flies, and the world has changed beyond recognition. It is truly a poignant experience."

The Video Communication, with its one-minute delay, had barely connected when Yue Yuan spoke first. Looking at the still-frozen Nair People delegation on the screen, he continued, "Years ago, our two civilizations had a very pleasant exchange within your esteemed realm, the Pot Lid Vastness Star. I imagine our exchange today will be just as enjoyable. To be honest, there are few civilizations in the universe like your Nair Civilization that engage in friendly exchanges with other civilizations."

This time, your civilization has encountered an unprecedented catastrophe. It is your misfortune that has turned you from a civilization that relied on its home planet for development into a Wandering Civilization like ours. But there is an old saying in our civilization, "A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise." Becoming Wandering Civilization may not be all bad. At least you have reunited your civilization, haven't you?"

As is well known, Aerospace Civilization operate at a very slow pace on an interstellar scale, whether in large-scale construction projects or in exchanges between two civilizations.

Therefore, even if the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet has killed enough, it will probably take another twenty-six years before they actually arrive here. So, the current communication between humans and the Nair People is not as urgent as one might imagine.

Of course, there is still a sense of urgency.

Especially for the Nair Civilization, the fact that they were able to sail their Great Fleet to the Gaseous Planet on the other side of the Yellow Dwarf Star, as requested by humanity, already proved that they had placed their hopes on humanity.

So when the Governor of the Nier people on the screen spoke two minutes later, he didn't seem as leisurely as Yue Yuan.

Two minutes later, from the perspective of the human Lyra, the Grand Governor of the Nielren saw him snap his claws a few times in a strange way, and then a sound came from the loudspeaker.

"Chief Commander of Human Civilization, our two civilizations know each other fairly well, so let's skip the formalities. We both understand each other perfectly well, so let's get straight to the point. You say you have a way to defeat Artificial Intelligence Consciousness, but you need our cooperation. What is this method, and how do you require our cooperation? Chief Commander, could you please explain your plan and methods so that our elites in the Nair Civilization can discuss them? After all, as you say, the main responsibility for this matter does lie with us. Therefore, we are undoubtedly key participants, and as key participants, it's only natural that we know the entire plan."

After the Nair People finished speaking, Yue Yuan, who was prepared, nodded habitually. Then he stood up from his seat, looked at the screen, and said, "It is only right that we tell you the whole plan. However, after we tell you the whole plan, you must tell us all the information you have about the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness. This is very important because it is related to the survival of our two civilizations."

"Furthermore, for our plan to succeed, we must have a unified command system, because only a unified command system can maximize the fighting power of our two civilizations."

Therefore, our two civilizations must form an alliance, establish Allied Forces Command, and specifically conduct strategic and tactical simulations and develop targeted combat plans against Artificial Intelligence Consciousness."

Next, Yue Yuan briefly Chen Shu to the Nair People the necessity of establishing the Allied Forces Command, and then slowly revealed the preliminary combat plan that the Human Civilization Command Department had previously formulated for the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet.

The general idea is to take advantage of the fact that this Artificial Intelligence is a master AI that controls all warships in multiple threads. The main strategic idea is to actively seek to "expand the spatial breadth of the battlefield" in order to make the Artificial Intelligence control its own fleet with a large communication delay, thereby weakening the coordination of the warships it controls.

To achieve this strategic goal, the Human Command Department has formulated many general tactical concepts, such as using multiple stars as mobile combat points to intercept the Artificial Intelligence fleet, Delaying Time tactics, ambush tactics in specific Star System environments, and Space Fortress tactics in specific star environments.

After Yue Yuan finished speaking rapidly, he quietly watched the big screen and waited.

Two minutes later, he and the many scholars, experts and scientists behind him saw the group of Nair People move in the picture. They knew that this was the picture from a minute ago.

This time, however, the Nair People did not answer immediately. Instead, they discussed it for a while before their Grand Governor finally spoke.

"Your Chief Commander of Human Civilization, to be honest, your Human Civilization also seems to be very skilled in the art of war. Your plan is very appealing to the Nair People, and I, along with most of the Nair People present, think it is feasible."

However, some of our experts have a few questions to ask you/remind you. First, you need to confirm again that the Artificial Intelligence fleet is a Great Fleet with 48,000 warships. Those are all the strongest warships of our original Nair Civilization in the Third Star Region. Each of them is stronger than our original warships.

Of course, they are not as advanced as the New Warship we produced after acquiring your No. 1 Alloy Material technology, but our New Warship are few in number, which is one of the reasons why we can only escape into space.

"Second, you said you want to establish Allied Forces Command for unified command. We think this is unnecessary. And even if Allied Forces Command is established, who will serve as the Commander-in-Chief?"

This is a big problem because we belong to two completely different civilizations and different species. There are often huge differences between us in terms of thought and behavior. Forcing us to be unified under one command system would probably cause a lot of trouble. So we think it's better for each of us to command our own systems.

As long as we stick to the plan and work in the same direction, we believe we can still achieve our ultimate goal of destroying the Artificial Intelligence fleet.

Seeing the Nair People's words, some military personnel, including Yue Yuan, sneered inwardly. Since things had come to this point, how could they possibly abandon the establishment of the Allied Forces Command? Without Allied Forces Command, how could humanity have sufficient reason to let your Nair Civilization be used as expendable resources? While inwardly sneering, Yue Yuan remained outwardly composed, regardless of whether the Nair People could understand his expression. He looked up at the Nair People on the large screen and smiled, "Your Grand Governor, you must understand that Allied Forces Command is absolutely necessary. Unified command and United Front are the only options to defeat the Artificial Intelligence fleet."

Regarding your concerns about conflict, we believe it is not a problem at all, and we also believe there is no doubt about who should serve as the commander of the coalition forces; it must be one of us humans.

"Because this matter was originally your own Nair People, and we humans only agreed to join in because our two civilizations get along very well. Moreover, the strategic goals, grand strategy, and specific tactics of the whole matter were all formulated by us humans. And even putting all that aside, we humans have the capability to do so."
