1979. The Reluctant War
Tang Xiao pondered for a while. During the communication with his invisible headset, the cabinet behind him and the teams of General Staff Headquarters and Ministry of Foreign Affairs were also closely following the conversation and giving some opinions to Tang Xiao.
For example, just now Tang Xiao suddenly killed several assistants of the delegation. In fact, it was Helmut-Zemo who gave him suggestions and asked him to put some pressure on the Chiss delegation. Then the pressure that Tang Xiao understands is killing.
Then, he asked, "So, have you had any contact with Grysk Hegemony's fleet?"
"I've been in contact with them many times. The types of their warships are very monotonous. The main battleships only have two or three types of warships. But there are really many of them. They don't even know how to retreat during combat. Even if the opponent is stronger, they will not retreat." Nuruodo family said.
"Is it because they are all being controlled?" Tang Xiao asked with a frown.
"This is one aspect. On the other hand, we can also see from Grysk Hegemony's behavior that Grysk is extremely conceited and will never accept failure. They will always be the one to initiate the attack..." Nuruodo family said, "However, they generally do not provoke those races that are stronger than them, and more of they accumulate their own power in secret. Of course, if they are provoked, they will not hesitate to retaliate in the most extreme way."
"Oh?" Tang Xiao became interested and asked, "Do you think, Grysk Hegemony, that you are stronger than them?"
"We have judged that Grysk Hegemony's military and industrial capabilities are relatively backward. This is also an important basis for us to think that they are a starship civilization - their warships have not been updated for a long time. So based on simulation simulations, we believe that as long as the war process is limited to the fleet combat level, we have the ability to repel Grysk Hegemony's fleet. But..." Nuruodo family looked embarrassed.
"But what?" Tang Xiao asked.
"However, if we really go to war with Grysk Hegemony, then we will face many internal problems. As mentioned before, we have no idea whether there are people who have been controlled hiding around us, or the possibility of this is very high... So once we decide to go to war, we will first be in chaos..." Nuruodo family said, "Moreover, I am afraid that Grysk has been hidden in many places, and we cannot exterminate them at all."
He took a deep breath, full of fear for this civilization known as a legendary species, and then said, "For example, if a Grysk is hidden in a certain city or a colony, what will happen? They will easily distort the memory and cognition of everyone in the city, making them think that the Grysk in front of them is just an ordinary resident. I can't think of any way to find out such a lurking person."
"It's like Meng Gal - Meng Gal?" Tang Xiao suddenly connected these two unrelated existences.
Nuruodo family was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Yes... it's the same as Meng Gal-Meng Gal. Maybe we can defeat them, but we can never eradicate them."
Tang Xiao snorted coldly, as if his mood suddenly became very bad. He waved his hand and was too lazy to speak, just signaling to the Chiss delegation that they could leave.
After Nuruodo family supported Csapla family and wisely exited the banquet hall, Tang Xiao's gloomy expression could no longer be concealed. He slapped the huge banquet table with a bang, and the powerful force instantly smashed the more than ten-meter-long table into countless pieces!
"Zemo! This is your plan! You actually found such a troublesome enemy for me!!" Tang Xiao growled.
A secret door opened at the back of the banquet hall, and Zemo, who was waiting inside at any time, ran out quickly. He said eagerly, "Grand Duke, Grysk Hegemony, this matter is true It was beyond our expectation... I have just contacted the people from Sabosen family, and they said that they did not expect that the colony on the Borg-Lei planet actually belonged to Grysk Hegemony."
"Colonies are not just toys! You can't tell which civilization this huge colony belongs to?" Tang Xiao asked angrily.
Zemo was sweating profusely and lowered his head and said, "According to Sabosen family, on the planet Borg-Lei, they always thought it was a small marginal colony. And the scope of the Kilji Illumine (The Kilji Illumine) in that direction... The Kilji Illumine is a theocratic country, and they also include a large number of races that converted to their religion - Path of Enlightenment."
At this time, the door of the banquet hall opened, and all relevant personnel including Chief of Staff Qi Jian, Prime Minister Francis-Underwood, Minister of Intelligence Salatan-Morse ran in.
This banquet is equivalent to a state negotiation between Fourth Civilization and Chiss. Naturally, it is impossible for Tang Xiao to drink with them here alone. All this had been arranged long ago.
"We have further confirmed...Grysk Hegemony will indeed rarely establish colonies. All the vassal races controlled by them have basically abandoned their home planets, so they should be starship civilizations... So the people of Sabosen family did not expect that their colonies would be bombed..." Qi Jian was also sweating profusely.
Indeed, if what Nuruodo family just said is true, then Dawn Star Planet's conspiracy seems to have shot himself in the foot.
This Borg-Lei planet incident is actually a conspiracy of Duchy of Dawn, who plans to push Chiss into a war, and then use this war to draw Chiss into his own Chariot.
Led by the Military Intelligence Department, Duchy of Dawn secretly contacted Sabosen family, who was at odds with Csapla family. Their original plan was for the people from Sabosen family to secretly tamper with the data about God of Decay Mon Gal-Mon Gal in the Chiss territory database, and add the Borg-Ray planet to it, so that everyone would think that the planet had been infected by Mon Gal-Mon Gal.
The Borg-Lei planet is actually an inconspicuous planet, but it may indeed have an owner. It seems to be a perfect target for launching a plan.
At the same time, the reason why we did not go to Nuruodo family, who was in charge of the military, on this matter was actually based on considerations. Nuruodo family As a family in charge of the military, they are naturally looking forward to such a war. However, if Duchy of Dawn takes the initiative to go to them and expresses his willingness to drag Chiss territory into the war, Nuruodo family will never agree.
So we can only go around in a circle, by cooperating with other families, launching a war, and then deepening the cooperation with Nuruodo family during the war, thereby further expanding Duchy of Dawn's influence among Chiss territory, and ultimately promoting a subordinate relationship with Chiss territory, making Chiss a vassal of Duchy of Dawn.
I thought this plan was very well thought out, but the only problem was that I didn't expect that the person it would offend was not the Kilji Illumine, but Grysk Hegemony!!
"What Nuruodo family said just now is right. There is no way we can completely eliminate Grysk Hegemony. They are too weird! Moreover, are things here going to turn into genocide like Ssi-ruuvi Imperium's side?" Prime Minister Francis-Underwood seemed to be in a particularly bad mood.
This kind of national-level diplomatic affairs naturally requires Francis to participate, but he learned about such a magical and troublesome race.
"According to what Nuruodo family just said, we should indeed send the robot army there." Qi Jian nodded in agreement.
"That's right, that's right! Find Geth and let Geth take care of Grysk Hegemony!" Francis-Underwood quickly agreed.
Tang Xiao gave him a cold look, Francis's words stopped abruptly, and he felt Grand Duke of Dawn's displeasure.
"Geth? Do you think Geth is omnipotent? My dear Your Excellency the Prime Minister." Tang Xiao asked coldly.
"No... it's just that they are easier to use than ordinary combat robots..." Francis lowered his head and answered.
"This idea is really stupid, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." Helmut-Zemo said in a strange tone, "Don't you know that Geth only formed an alliance with Grand Duke? Geth's alliance partner has never been me. We Fourth Civilization. Including their cooperation with Caladanian and InterGalactic Banking Clan, it is all due to the request of Grand Duke. In other words, if one day, Geth suddenly takes action and destroys Makito, it is also possible."
"This is related to a war! We are not allowed to choose!" Francis-Underwood did not dare to disobey Tang Xiao, but he was very unhappy with Helmut-Zemo, a sycophant, and was still willing to fight back.
"Hmph! To fight against the Galactic Empire, we need Geth; to help Northern Territory's industrial construction, we need Geth; to fight against Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal, we need Geth, now we are at war with Grysk Hegemony, and we are looking for Geth. Then why don't we all commit suicide, and Grand Duke will take Geth to conquer the galaxy?" Zemo said coldly.
"This is just the most appropriate use of the most appropriate power!" Francis-Underwood was still retorting, "If our people are controlled by Grysk, then they will definitely use this as a bridge to quietly infiltrate into our principality! Grysk is even more threatening than Meng Gal-Meng Gal!"
"Grand Duke, although it is indeed inappropriate to continue to involve Geth, Francis's opinion is still very pertinent. We cannot allow Grysk to have the opportunity to infiltrate." Qi Jian said.
"It's not necessary. It sounds like Grysk is a race that relies on mind control or brain wave control, and we also have experts in this area." Minister of Intelligence Salatan-Morse said gloomily.
"Hahahaha! That's right, Morse. That's what I mean." Tang Xiao laughed, "Tell Protoss about Grysk Hegemony and let them solve the matter. Then, establish a squadron, all equipped with B-1 combat robots, under the command of T-series tactical robot."
Qi Jian nodded, "Shall we let Protoss command this fleet?"
"No, the fleet command is given to Chiss. Protoss only needs to focus on dealing with Grysk. And I guess they don't have much interest in commanding our fleet." Tang Xiao waved his hand and said to Zemo said, "Go tell Chiss that this fleet is led by their Defense Fleet Commander and Admiral Qiyala. And remember, she is Illyz family's person. We need to do the opposite..."
"Alienation Illyz family... I know how to arrange it, Grand Duke." Helmut-Zemo bowed deeply, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
"That's how it is." Tang Xiao was also fed up. He stood up and said coldly, "We planned a war, and now the war has started, and the goal has been achieved. It's just that the target of the war is somewhat inappropriate... Although we are reluctant, since the war has started, let's not keep it. According to the original plan, let's get everything we want in Unknown Regions."
"As you wish...Grand Duke." Zemo bowed deeply.
Others also saluted and watched Tang Xiao leave.
After receiving the news that Duchy of Dawn decided to send troops, Chiss territory representatives Nuruodo family and Csapla family finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they also felt endless sadness.
Because this dispatch of troops means that Chiss territory can no longer escape the clutches of Duchy of Dawn.
Nuruodo family also specifically contacted relevant personnel of Duchy of Dawn and asked how big a squadron would be based on Duchy of Dawn's naval establishment.
He got the answer - the size of the squadron is 10 thousand-meter battleships, 30 heavy battleships such as cruisers, and 150 small battleships and auxiliary battleships.
Only then did Nuruodo family understand that Duchy of Dawn's garrison in Chiss territory is now also a squadron.
That is to say, Duchy of Dawn will devote the power of two squadrons to deal with this war against Grysk Hegemony. This number is actually similar to the number of Chiss territory's current navy, but considering that the performance of Duchy of Dawn's warships far exceeds that of Chiss territory's warships, this force is already second to none among Unknown Regions.
It seems that Duchy of Dawn is determined to win this time.
At the same time, Nuruodo family also learned that Duchy of Dawn requested that Chiss Defense Fleet Admiral of the Navy, Illyz family's Eliz Al-Alani-Ziyala, command the fleet.
This result was a bit unexpected, but it made Nuruodo family feel good about it. He felt that this was Duchy of Dawn showing his sincerity. At the same time, he also knew that Duchy of Dawn didn't seem to have a good relationship with Illyz family, which made him feel better about Duchy of Dawn's decision.
Another week passed, and Tang Xiao received a notification from Helmut-Zemo.
"Your Excellency, Protoss is here." Zemo said.
"Oh? It's finally here. So, which tribe is here? Who is the leader?" Tang Xiao asked.
Zemo replied, "This is Akilae Tribe (Akilae Tribe), led by High Templar Rassidan (Rassidan)."
