Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

During the continuous guerrilla war, the Federation also continued to receive a large amount of support from the rear, whether it was warships, personnel, or materials, and more and more as time went by.

When the war machine was fully activated, the Velvet people, as the overlord of one party, still showed their due level. Their industrial strength was quickly realized into war potential, and then quickly transformed into war strength.

The mobilization order encountered great obstacles at the beginning. After all, the Federation has almost never been defeated since its birth. Maybe there were some small losses on local battlefields in the original colonial war, but it never really affected the mainland. , the Velvet people have never been so directly threatened as they are now.

But soon, the Federation took a series of measures. While increasing war propaganda and ensuring various aspects of treatment, it also began to become tougher.

Although today's retired soldiers and reservists can still maintain the normal activities of the army, no one can be sure when the intensity of the war will increase rapidly. By then, if there are not enough reserve soldiers, the Federation can only allow untrained civilians to board The battleship went on a mission.

Although the Federation has developed to such an extent, and the ways for ordinary people to obtain information have been extremely developed, as intelligent and civilized individuals, everyone has their own thoughts. There are still conflicts of interest among the Velvet people, not to mention the large number of other people. Ethnicity.

Different interest groups together form an extremely complex federation, and each class has its own interest demands. In this case, coordinating all parties has become the main function of the federation official, and this is why the federation can maintain stability.

However, when the vested interest groups were damaged by the war, especially after the Zerg conquered the Federation's ninth colonial galaxy without a fight, the groups that had originally regarded that place as a key development area due to the large-scale development of the galaxy suffered heavy losses this time.

They exerted their own power and tried to exert their influence on the top leaders of the federation, trying to change the strategic decision-making of the federation to a certain extent to make up for their own losses.

The federation is not a federation of federal people, but a federation of collective interests. If it weren't for the help of Todd and the lurkers, such a huge influence would indeed be enough to affect the federation's top strategic decisions.

But that's all. Todd has no intention of wiping the Velvets' butt personally, as that goes against the interests of the Zerg. It only needs to guide the Velvet people to develop in the "right" direction in the war, rather than going down some evil path.

...........................

In the year 1509 of the Zerg, 26.6 light-years away from the Federation's seventh colonial galaxy, the Zerg biological fleet discovered the Federation fleet that was preparing for war.

After the last defeat, the Federation reorganized a larger fleet. With large-scale support from the rear, they urgently reorganized the First Fleet. Now, the number of battleships in this fleet just in front of the swarm is There are twelve thousand ships!

Of course, more than 60% of them are unmanned warships controlled by quantum computers, but there are still more than 2.3 million federal soldiers serving in the entire fleet!

The subsequent second and third fleets are also undergoing emergency integration and reorganization. Once the reconstruction is completed, the three fleets of the Federation will have more than 70,000 warships!

If we include the non-main force units that were urgently requisitioned before, namely the 4th to 12th fleets, the military strength of the Velvet Federation will expand dramatically!

This is also the reason why they must block the swarm here. Not to mention the tens of billions of federal citizens living in the seventh colonial galaxy today, even the industrial base here prevents them from giving up.

This is the second largest industrial base in the Federation. In times of peace, it was the bridgehead for the Federation's outward expansion and was responsible for huge production tasks. Once it is lost, the Federation's war potential will be reduced by at least one-fifth!

Those desolate galaxies or galaxies that only claim sovereignty in name are, to the Federation, just some complete resource producing areas of the Development Department. They are dispensable, and losing them is not a big deal.

But if the seventh colonial galaxy is lost, it will not only damage the muscles and bones, but also shake the foundation!

The long-term plan of harassment and obstruction bought the Velvets valuable time, allowing them to quickly regain their fighting strength. But the insect swarm in Visor's hands is not without action. While they are hindering the advancement of the insect swarm, the insect swarm support fleet from the ninth colonial galaxy has also gradually merged into the main force.

Today, the number of Zerg biological warships rushing toward the Velvets at full speed in deep space without any intention of slowing down has exceeded 1.5, which is times as many as the Velvets. Not counting the biological fleet that will come to the battlefield later, even if the insect swarm has less than % of its production capacity, it can completely destroy the current Velvet Federation!

....................................

The flagship of the First Fleet, Federation Admiral Rosemont, felt extremely heavy.

In the past few years, the First Fleet he led continued to receive reinforcements from within the Federation. At the same time, the harassment of this unknown civilization's biological fleet never stopped.

They seemed to have succeeded. After all, the opponent's progress was severely slowed down and they suffered a certain degree of damage.

But things did not develop as expected.

He originally thought that the opponent had come all the way from afar and needed to start from scratch in terms of industry. He would never be able to compare with the Federation, which had the home field advantage. Under the circumstances, he would soon have the power to defeat this fleet.

In the previous war, as the top officer of the combined fleet, he personally directed the war between the two sides. He clearly knew that there was no serious technological gap between the other party and his own civilization. As long as he waited until the fleet strength recovered, He is confident that he can win the battle!

But at this moment, he was a little shaken by his previous judgment.

Perhaps on the battlefield, there is no serious generational difference between the two sides, but it is obvious that the other side is definitely much more advanced in industrial technology than the Federation!

Our side has an industrial foundation established over thousands of years, which allows us to quickly restore the fleet's combat power in just a few years, and the industrial production capacity at the rear continues to grow every day.

However, the other party had no foundation in this area at all, but in the same time period, it replenished the battle losses while still having room for expansion, and still maintained its combat power advantage over the federal fleet. This could not help but make him worried.

"Is this the ultimate efficiency of biotechnology?"

Rosemont's mind was slightly shaken.

One thousand and two hundred years ago, the Velvet people had an era when biotechnology was booming. At that time, cloning technology was popular in the Federation. Because of its particularity, the technology went from rough to mature very quickly.

The emergence of a large number of human clones at that time once brought considerable convenience to society, medicine, military and other aspects.

But as the saying goes, good and evil depend on each other, and sociological issues are never that simple.

When the clones produced in batches in the factory began to seek social status, when they began to resist the oppression of the Federation, when people gradually began to fear them, and when the Federation society was in danger of subversion, they chose the "one size fits all" approach. means.

Since then, cloning technology has become a patent for the rich and powerful to extend their lifespan, and many related studies have been shelved indefinitely. The Federation's development in life sciences has been greatly affected, and they have chosen a more controllable path.
