"This is Xiaolong TV Station."

An emergency news segment was added on short notice.

Several hours ago.

Our Dragon Kingdom launched a blitzkrieg against the Dax Empire, which had repeatedly invaded our Dragon Galaxy.

A very fruitful harvest!

Many commanders and soldiers on fleet starships performed exceptionally well during this campaign.

Of course, many heroes also remained forever in foreign lands.

More detailed information will be released later.

A news segment was suddenly added, catching everyone watching the news off guard.

The message was short, and the spoken part took less than a minute.

People who don't pay much attention might even miss this message.

However, this news, which lasted less than a minute, immediately became a trending topic on various Longxing platforms.

【The Dragon Kingdom Fleet's Expedition to the Dax Empire】

The revenge against the invaders has begun.

【The Wyvern Civilization launches a counterattack against the Dax Empire, achieving a resounding victory?】

Information is flooding in, and there are all sorts of speculations.

But most people are just guessing positively, since the Xiaolong Civilization would never announce such news unless it was a resounding victory.

But to what extent they won, nobody knows.

However, some people began to feel worried.

That would naturally mean they have family members serving in the JF-17 Thunder fleet.

They began trying every means to contact their relatives, hoping to get news that their loved ones were safe and sound.

"Mother.

"There's been a war." In a remote town, a boy not yet five years old pointed at the news that had just been broadcast on the television.

Beside her was her mother, who had just hung up the call.

After hearing the news, the woman immediately realized why her husband had suddenly contacted her.

It turned out that he had just experienced a battle in the past few hours.

She knew very well what branch of the military her husband belonged to.

Mech pilot.

She didn't know much about combat mechs, only that others said that the casualty rate for mech pilots in interstellar wars was over 90%.

So at the beginning, she was strongly opposed to her husband becoming a mecha pilot.

The Star Marines are already worrying enough.

Or the mech pilots, who have a higher casualty rate.

But her husband submitted the application without hesitation.

As a result, the two had a cold war for several months.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

In any case, she was at least lucky because she knew her husband was still alive.

——————

at the same time.

The Lans civilization fleet was in a rather awkward situation.

They learned that the Xiaolong civilization fleet had completely withdrawn.

They completely misled their commander from the Laners civilization.

Those guys from the Dragonflight Civilization actually ran away?

Aren't they here to seize the star system territory of the Dax Empire?

Why did they just run away like that?

The Dax Empire was also quite angry.

The enemy launched a surprise attack, and the losses were considerable.

And now they've run away.

Who could stand this?

The problem is, they don't yet have the ability to hold others accountable.

If we chase after them now, we might not even gain any advantage.

Meanwhile, the Lans civilization's fleet, which was still on the table, became a thorn in their side.

OK.

It's one thing for the Xiaolong Civilization to come up and punch me in the face.

You guys from Laners also came to beat me up, and after you beat me up, you even tried to shit on my face!

King Dax, with nowhere to vent his rage, began to mobilize a large fleet, preparing to annihilate the two thousand Lans civilization fleets that had invaded his second star system!

At this point, the Lans civilization fleet faced a difficult choice.

withdraw?

Should we give up the territory we've seized?

We will not withdraw.

That means we must escalate the war with the Dax Empire!

The commander of the Lanrs civilization fleet was unable to make this decision and could only send the message back to the Lanrs civilization, requesting the Lanrs civilization leader to make a decision.

When this news reached the Laners civilization, it was like a bombshell to the Laners civilization's leadership.

"What? The Xiaolong Civilization fleet has withdrawn!"

"What's wrong with those guys?"

They were fighting well, then suddenly withdrew their troops! What do they mean by that?!

"They've withdrawn their troops, and now the Dax Empire's fleet is eyeing us."

"Should we also withdraw our troops?"

"We finally managed to occupy such a large piece of land."

If we withdraw our troops now, we will gain nothing!

The hall was filled with the sound of endless arguing.

War or retreat?

This is a huge choice now facing the Lans civilization.

"Okay, we don't have that much time now."

A vote was taken by raising hands directly.

They agreed to continue fighting the Dax Empire and not give up the one-third of the star system they currently control, standing on the left.

Those who disagree stand on the right.

No one can give up their choice! The leader of the Laners civilization looked at the people in the hall.

After a brief silence.

Everyone began to disperse.

Some people went to the left, and some went to the right.

However, more people ultimately chose to go to the left, but only slightly more.

People on the left make up about 60%.

No one is willing to give up profits they have already secured.

Moreover, this is a rare opportunity that the Lans civilization has seized in recent years.

"Since more than 60% of people feel that they cannot give up."

"Then convey this order to the commanders at the front, instructing them to deploy defensive positions on the front lines to ensure that one-third of the star system remains under our control!" the leader of the Laners civilization said solemnly.

"yes!"

The order was immediately relayed to the front lines.

The leader of the Lans civilization looked at everyone in the hall: "Now that we have determined our direction..."

"Then let's all think together about what we should do next."

One of the military ministers took a deep breath; he had previously opposed the troop deployment, but now that it was settled.

Then he will also start considering the troop deployment plan.

"First of all, we can confirm that the Dax Empire currently has around 10,000 interstellar warships."

Five thousand of them were engaged in a tug-of-war with us on the front lines of our Lans's star system.

They also have five thousand interstellar warships in several star systems on their home planet.

The good news is that their T3 starships suffered heavy losses in the attack by the Xiaolong civilization fleet. Although they had a large number of starships, their combat effectiveness was severely reduced.

And for a long time to come, they will need to deploy some fleets to defend some of their important, high-value locations.

To prevent the JF-17 fleet from launching another surprise attack.

Therefore, I estimate that the Dax Empire's fleet could send around three thousand ships to attack us.

But that was, after all, a star system originally controlled by the Dax Empire. They fought in that star system, and their supply problems were better than ours.

Therefore, we will face greater combat pressure.

I believe that the two thousand interstellar warships we initially sent are far from enough.

We need to increase the number to four thousand starships; only then will we have enough.

Only then can we stabilize the one-third of the star systems we've conquered!

"But it would be very difficult to free up another two thousand interstellar warships."

Our Lans civilization currently only has 15,000 interstellar warships at most.

Moreover, our weakness lies in the fact that we have very few T3 starships.

To date, we do not have a complete T3 starship production line; we have only manufactured five T3 starships.

This is far behind both the Dax Empire and the Wyvern Civilization.

Therefore, on the battlefield, we often need to deploy more interstellar warships than the Dax Empire fleet to gain an advantage.

If we redeploy too many interstellar warships to the front lines in our own star system.

"Then our own galaxy would be in danger." Some people are questioning this arrangement.

The military minister said solemnly, "There are risks, but since we have decided to station troops here, it means we are taking a gamble."

Therefore, no matter what, we cannot lose this third of the galaxy.

As for our own home galaxy, although our forces have been diverted.

However, since this is our native star system, we have a relatively high margin for error when fighting here.

Therefore, I believe that withdrawing two thousand interstellar warships would not be a problem at all.

The military deployment was quickly finalized.

In the Lans controlled area of ​​the second star system of the Dax Empire, establish a bridgehead for the Lans civilization, garrison four thousand interstellar warships, and construct a two-way stargate, etc.

"The military's arrangements have been finalized."

We also cannot slack off in resource development.

After all, our occupation of these star systems is precisely for the purpose of seizing their resources.

We need to quickly take over these resource planets and establish our mining system.

If there are indigenous people in the area, use the name of the local indigenous people; otherwise, use their name.

This would require us to send a large number of workers there.

all in all.

Within a month at the latest, all resource stars and resource extraction sites within our controlled area will need to be restored to operation.

"This will give back the resources we invested in this war!" the minister in charge of resource development said earnestly.

No one had any objections.

After all, the purpose of invasion and war is nothing more than to seize resources.

From then on.

Next, the Lans civilization and the Dax Empire appeared on a second front.

It can be said that both sides have found a battlefield in each other's star systems.

Little did they know that the Xiaolong civilization was responsible for this situation.

But it was a completely different scene.

One more thing.

The Lans civilization was furious about the sudden withdrawal of the Xiaolong civilization and even sent a special envoy to the Xiaolong civilization to inquire about what had happened.

The answer from the Xiaolong civilization is this.

Our original agreement was to contain the Dax Empire.

Restraint does not equate to defense.

I fought back.

I consumed the starships of the Dax Empire.

I have weakened the fighting power of the Dax Empire.

Isn't that a form of restraint?

I kept my word.

As for your sudden dispatch of troops, you are now in a somewhat awkward situation.

What does this have to do with us?

Did we send you to fight a war?

Now you want us to send troops to support you?

Excuse me.

Our fleet has also suffered heavy losses in the previous battles and needs a long period of rest and recuperation.

Regarding the official wording of the Xiaolong civilization.

The envoy from the Lans civilization was furious, but the Xiaolong civilization's approach was completely reasonable.

Tell me, isn't this infuriating?

In the end, the envoy from the Lans civilization returned home dejected.

"Gone?" Zhao Chen looked at Barbara, the secretary, who had returned.

When that special envoy from the Lans civilization came before, he kept saying he wanted to see him.

The purpose of coming to see me is self-evident.

Zhao Chen was unwilling to waste his time on this person.

So Barbara's secretary just made up some excuse to decline.

"Um.

"He's already left," Secretary Barbara said with a slight smile.

"They didn't ask us to promise anything?"

"Yes, but it's enough to just say it nicely. Anyway, you don't have to keep your word." Barbara's secretary said it like a scumbag deceiving a young girl.

Zhao Chen didn't need to think much to know what Barbara's secretary had said to the other party's special envoy.

It's nothing more than that.

Don't worry, we are allies of the Lans civilization and will stand together through thick and thin.

Don't worry, once our fleet has rested and regrouped, we will fight the Dax Empire again.

And so on.

As for whether these words will come true?

Zhao Chen and Barbara exchanged a glance, and the answer was already clear to both of them.

"Now, at least we can buy ourselves another year or two." Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "This way, we can also develop our Transcendence Plan."

"Um.

The Beyond Project has been launched.

Chief Engineer Anne was in charge.

Chief Engineer Anne said it would take at most a year.

"Going beyond the plan will yield results," Secretary Barbara said seriously.

What is the Beyond Plan?

The reason why the Dax Empire is in danger is precisely because they were the first to enter the T3 technology stage in their early years.

The Xiaolong civilization has limited resources, and even with a large-scale military buildup, it will be difficult to surpass the Dax Empire in a short period of time.

Then we'll choose to take the other route.

That means directly building T4-level interstellar warships.

It surpasses the current technological level of the Dax Empire and the Lans civilization in one fell swoop.

When those T4 starships appeared on the front lines.

Those guys probably know that this game is about to end.

“Ten T4 interstellar warships,” Zhao Chen muttered.

The plan was to build ten T4 interstellar warships within a year.

These ten T4 interstellar warships encompass various ship types, thus forming the most effective combat force.

"Among these."

The manufacturing difficulty of interstellar frigates and interstellar destroyers is not very high.

Starcruisers, star battlecruisers, and star heavy gunships are not too much of a problem.

The biggest challenge probably lies in the interstellar missile ships, interstellar battleships, and aircraft carrier starships.

"These three types of interstellar warships are our mainstay interstellar warships," Zhao Chen muttered, the familiar T4 interstellar warships already appearing before his eyes.

As long as these T4 starships are completed.

That would break the current three-way power struggle.
