Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

For those Lupers, due to some problems with the fleet command system of the Great Rupers, coupled with the long distance and their lack of attention to real-time data links, they did not collect too much professional data. The analysis can only stay on the combat data collected by those warships, and cannot have as rich and outrageously professional data as the Cat League for analysis.

Coupled with the poor level of missile technology of the Lupers, they can only judge that this is a weird nuclear thermal engine with a high probability that it is not a classic configuration-is it strong, it must be strong, Otherwise, they wouldn't have turned their 30-billion-ton fleet into a full orbit of space junk.

But how strong it is, where it is strong, and how it is strong, they can't say one, two, three.

But for humans who have been influenced by the Cat League and thus pay close attention to missile technology, the situation is quite different.

The so-called amateurs watch the fun and experts watch the doorway. It is precisely because their research on missiles is also very profound that they can understand that this kind of missile can be installed on more than 200 tons of small and medium-sized missiles, and at the same time, its performance has hardly shrunk. How terrifying is the technological content of the miniaturized gaseous core engine.

Especially when they learned that such an engine with excellent performance and lower cost than they imagined, it only came out in a mere ten months, and mass production and installation were based on their guerrilla tactics. After it was started, all countries in the world became more convinced of their original judgment.

If there is anyone who can defeat this suffocating Great Lupus, then this civilization must be the Cat League.

If there is any strategy in this war that can give them the greatest possibility of survival and ensure the continued prosperity of their people and civilization to the greatest extent, then this strategy must be to buy time for the Cat League to develop.

Looking at these fleets that are fleeing in a hurry and retreating towards the country of Great Rupert, the hearts of Internet jokers can't help but feel helpless.

Almost overnight, various jokes about this war appeared on the human Internet, and some of the most famous ones even took the top three spots on the Internet's real-time hot search list, and spread all the way to the Maomeng Internet. , so that a large number of people in the cat league have seen one of the charms of the human Internet.

"With me and you, all in one go!"

"Me and Maomeng cut two full-lengths together!"

"We are so strong!"

Basically that's the style.

If it is said that the cat alliance and human beings were full of joy and laughter, happy for the temporary relief of this huge crisis, then in the distant country of Great Rupert, the atmosphere was completely depressing, as if there were no living things. up.

Such a huge strategic failure, the annihilation of a semi-main fleet, someone must be responsible for it-although from an objective point of view, the leader bears the inescapable responsibility for this failure, and even set an initiative There is no problem with the responsibility, but it is obvious that no one will dare to hold the leader responsible for the loss of this war.

But the problem is that under normal circumstances, the two fleet commanders who should bear the most important blame have now become a wisp of smoke under the flames of the nuclear bomb. If it is a slightly lower level of blame, they may push it to the dead It's okay; but the level is so high, it can be called the second largest black pot in the history of the Great Rupert Kingdom, and the two dead people can't resist it.

Therefore, these days, except that the technical department is trying its best to find clues from the data sent back by the frontline fleet during the war, and try to analyze more information, other departments are basically trapped in an icehouse. People feel uncomfortable, for fear of being shot out at this time, and a huge scapegoat will be placed on their backs.

No one dares to act carelessly for this kind of scapegoat who is likely to die forever.

However, after walking on thin ice for a few more days, at a high-level meeting of the military department, accompanied by the arrival of a senior general of the guard directly under the leadership sent by a leader, things took a shocking turnaround beyond everyone's expectations.

"You...you...you are..."

Looking at the rather familiar faces in front of them, almost all the older military officers who have been in the army for more than a hundred years swallowed hard and said in a difficult voice.

To be honest, they never imagined that one day they would be able to see this face in places other than photos—especially when his identity is still a "senior general of the guard directly under the leader", all this becomes even more absurd stand up.

However, facing the eyes of these old officers, Lupers, a man in his prime, seemed to have heard nothing, and had no intention of letting them interrupt his actions.

In fact, this did not surprise them at all. After all, people who are directly under the leader's guard have always been like this. Except for the orders issued by the leader, no one else can make them have the slightest fluctuation. For them, only the leader and the leader's The orders are real, and everything else is just the noise of the world—dull and useless.

But it was precisely because of this classic performance, which was indistinguishable from other members of the direct guard, that they felt a sense of absurdity from the bottom of their hearts.

Because the owner of this face had another name a long time ago, a name that is almost universally heard in the military world, and it can even be said that every military strategist in the future can't help but think of his name when making decisions.

"Former Commander of the First Fleet..."

Volume 270 Industry and Power: Chapter [-] The Myth Busted

Under the almost unbelievable eyes of most people, this man in his prime stood in front of the stage, put down the documents in his hand, and then slowly scanned the crowd sitting around the conference table, The sharp eyes almost pierced them.

"Cough cough."

After confirming the appearance of everyone present, he cleared his throat and spoke.

"I believe that you should still remember who I am."

Although no one came out to confirm what he said, after all, past experience told them that when dealing with a member of the direct guard, especially a member with such a weird situation, being careful, listening more and talking less is the best way to avoid accidents. .

However, just looking at the dignified eyes of everyone, you can know that this sentence is completely correct.

The Commander of the First Fleet back then was really famous. As a general who was once under [-] people in the military circle, with outstanding abilities, and even the generals of the same level were convinced by him, before that happened, there was no One thought he would be arrested for such a crime and vanished from view.

If it was an ordinary officer, or even a general with a relatively poor reputation and status, they all felt that although this kind of thing was suspected of committing crimes, it was not completely impossible.

After all, the Great Rupert Country is also a totalitarian country, not to mention that this kind of thing can happen in non-totalitarian countries as well-subordinates did not accept the ruler's suggestion but chose to go alone according to their own judgment, so the superior Killing chickens to scare monkeys or something is not inexplicable.

It’s just that in a normal country, at most it’s just a beating. After all, you have given them the power to make independent decisions during the war, and you have not issued direct orders, saying it is just a suggestion. When you come to your own judgment and at the same time prove his judgment is correct with practical actions, you have to put shoes on him, even the words of arrest.

The people below are not bloodless and tearless robots, they also have a temper - especially when this kind of thing is exposed, it will almost certainly cause a storm of public opinion in all directions from the military to the people, even if they really have a heart for this If you are displeased with the behavior of brushing your own face, you can't show it, and you have to give this kind of "wisdom eye" general a generous reward, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that the people below will not have any opinions.

However, in a totalitarian country, due to the perverted pursuit of power and control, coupled with the extreme lack of influence of public opinion, the possibility and level of this kind of thing will be greatly increased-according to their psychology It is expected that if it is a general with poor reputation and status, who is not very popular, and is more annoying, for example, the newly appointed stunned young man of the Eighth Fleet was killed in such a way to make an example of others, then they will at most slander them a little bit in their hearts. There will be too strong a feeling of fighting for the other party.

But he is the commander of the First Fleet!

He is the most talented fleet commander in the Great Rupert Kingdom for nearly a thousand years. Not only is his ability the best in the country, but he can't find any faults in his conduct. No matter whether he is a subordinate or a colleague, almost no one is convinced by him. Everyone thinks that he To be the No.1 under Lupers' military leader is a no-brainer and a matter of course.

What's more, this person was still a die-hard supporter of the leader back then. He never formed a clique. His admiration for the great leader can be felt in his words and deeds. Being first-oriented, they rarely do anything for their own personal benefit.

They think that they are definitely far inferior to the commander of the First Fleet in terms of loyalty, firmness of belief, and other aspects. If they were taken down because of the "Shaking Master", then they would have nothing to say.

So few people could believe their ears when they heard that the commander of the [-]st Fleet had been arrested for thought crimes—but the hard truth is, he did.

Maybe it's the master of high power?Perhaps the leader felt that this behavior was challenging his authority?Maybe the leader was in a bad mood that day and the commander just hit the gun?Or is it simply that he is unhappy to see him?

It's all possible.

Thoughtcrime alone is out of the question.

To achieve their level of cake, even a former commander of the First Fleet who is already called the cake of cake, to put it bluntly, who dares to say that he has not committed any thought crimes?

As far as their status is concerned, as long as it is not the kind of destructive behavior that is really planned and ready to be put into action, it is carried out against the leader or the entire Great Rupert State, other low-level thought crimes, or even simple crimes in the country. Slandering the leader a few words in his heart, no one cares at all-and there are very conclusive facts to prove that even if the leader himself knows about it directly, the same is true.

After all, this thing, to put it bluntly, is used to control the middle and lower levels. It is a useful tool, but it is not the goal they are pursuing-if it destroys the ecology of their own cake layer for this tool, then it is putting the cart before the horse.

Only the middle and lower classes will be convicted of a thought, and for them, as long as they don't actually put it into action, it is not a crime at all.

Therefore, when a cake is arrested for thought crimes, either it has really put the highest level of thought crimes into action, such as the leader of the union that raised the rebellion flag back then, or it is clearly written " Find fault".

In more than 99% of cases, the situation is the latter, and even if it is really the former, a top general of this level will definitely report what thought crime he has committed-if he does not say, then he can only Proof that this is indeed just finding fault.

Unfortunately, both the official notification and their own connections and means have proved that this matter has nothing to do with thought crimes.

The impact of this incident is extremely far-reaching. To put it mildly, the military system reform led by the First Commander was suspended, and many projects were also stagnated because of his disappearance, even if some were later led by the leader himself. The effect of restarting is also very poor. Coupled with the death of the first commander, a top general who meets once in a millennium, the military can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

On a bigger scale, after his hard-core supporters were all killed by sharks, the thought of "for the great Rupert country" that still had a lot of content in the military circles was suddenly interrupted, and everyone felt that since no matter what It doesn't matter how well you do it, so what's the use of sticking to the original high morale?

Rather than a noble death, it is better to live a despicable life—not to mention that the cruel reality is that a despicable life can not only survive, but also live very well.

Most people believe that the impact of this incident is definitely more than that. In the distant future, it will definitely cause more and bigger problems. Some people are even a little pessimistic and think that this incident is likely to happen again in the future. Invoke a Consortium Rebellion-level event.

But what can they do?

Even the First Commander is powerless, just like a worm that was evaporated by the world (in their view, it has been destroyed by a shark). Their abilities are quite different, and their beliefs are far inferior to their firm "ordinary people". They care about these things what?

It's better to think about how to get more benefits for yourself.

But today, when they saw that man reappeared in front of them, using their familiar face, making a familiar voice, and saying things like "you should remember who I am", not only did everyone have nothing to say " Everything that used to come back" felt like falling into an ice cellar, and it was extremely cold from the inside to the outside.

The former First Commander was not like this—although he was superior in ability and his status was above ten thousand, he was very amiable in dealing with others, and it was difficult for even his competitors to attack his character. Driven by him, the military circles of the Great Rupert Kingdom at that time were the noblest and most united era since their establishment.

Without his leading role and the series of policies and projects he strongly promoted, the Great Rupert Kingdom, which was facing internal and external troubles and concentrated outbreaks of various problems, would never have won the victory of the Rupers-Zerg War However, the rebellion of the alliance will never be just a rebellion of the local fleet, and their offensive will never stop in the Solomon Galaxy, outside the core star field of the Great Rupert Kingdom.

It can be said that the reason why the Great Rupert Kingdom was able to escape from the vortex and gave a big sip to the Great Rupert Kingdom, which was originally windy and windy, and whose border star fields were ready to move, is not to say that it is all due to him, at least it is a big part of it. No problem at all.

However, even though his appearance and voice have not changed at all, everyone can feel from the bottom of his heart that this is not him.

At least not the him they knew.

But everyone didn't choose to speak out - no matter whether he was him or not, and the reason why the leader made him appear here, the most sensible choice at this time was to remain silent.

After all, isn't that what leaders want?

As long as you listen to him quietly and follow his orders firmly and unswervingly, any personal free will is unnecessary and not advocated.

They are just resolutely practicing this.

"Very well, it seems that everyone still remembers me." He nodded in satisfaction, "I believe that everyone must have misunderstood my disappearance over the years, thinking that I am dead—in fact, I am not.

"Even if I committed a thought crime and should have paid the price for my actions, the great leader forgave my crimes. With his brilliance and kindness, I deeply realized my mistakes and put all All errors were corrected.

"In the future work together, you may feel that I am a little strange, a little 'different', but in fact, I just corrected all the mistakes I made."

He paused for a moment and added:

"Hopefully this will not affect the peace and harmony of our military community.

"After all, a new great threat has come, and we must do our best to ensure that the Great Rupert Country will survive the crisis again and let our country continue to be great—do you understand?"

"understand."

The people present answered almost in unison.

"very good."

He was very satisfied with everyone's answers.

"So next, let's start today's topic—in the next few years, before we figure out how to deal with the enemy's special combat system built around ultra-long-range lasers and high-speed missiles as the core, how should we Dealing with the threat from the Cat League/Akachi direction?

"Everyone is welcome to speak freely."

...

Hong was keenly aware that great changes had taken place inside the cake layer of the Great Rupert National Army.

Although she does not have any controllable influence in the Grand Rupert country, she can only collect a small part of the general-level intelligence that is within the range of her sensors and has not yet been highly encrypted. This kind of highly closed, and at the same time, a very high level of confidentiality, is basically a highly confidential object of full-scale quantum encryption/laser directional communication, and its intelligence capabilities are very general. In theory, this company should not be perceived so quickly. Top-secret information that no one in the world knows.

But as an omnic, she has her own unique advantages—through the supercomputing array and extremely high-bandwidth communication link specially equipped by the crossing fleet, Hong successfully captured the intelligence inside the military by analyzing a huge amount of ordinary information. clues.

There are strong clues to prove that the military management system of the Great Rupert Kingdom has undergone major changes recently. Originally, the leader served as the supreme commander, and the structure of the fleet and army commanders directly under him has changed.

A new post called "Military Chief" was set up between the original direct links. The leader no longer directly issued orders or issued suggestions to the fleet and army commanders, but was changed by the Military Department. A management team headed by the chief officer manages all the troops in a unified manner, and then the chief officer of the military department is responsible to the leader. The leader's usual instructions and suggestions are also issued to the chief officer of the military department, who is responsible for the specific implementation .

To be honest, in Hong’s opinion, this reform is very, very strange—not to mention the effect, but the leader took the initiative to set up a power so monstrous that he can directly manage all the military forces of the entire Great Rupert Kingdom, even the leader’s orders It was all conveyed down by his hand, which made her feel extremely unbelievable.

Let alone a totalitarian country, ordinary countries are unlikely to do this kind of thing-this kind of behavior is completely emptying their own power, and it is really the one who can evaporate the former commander of the First Fleet to the world What did the leader of the past do?

Hong was puzzled, really puzzled.

She believes that there must be some mystery in it, but there is no way, her influence in the Great Rupert Kingdom is too small-let alone stealing such highly top-secret information, she even There is no Lupers who can communicate directly with him, so what action can we talk about?

But it doesn't matter, now that the war has achieved great results in stages, at least in a short period of time, she can finally have enough time and energy to slowly operate her influence in the Great Rupert.

Speaking of which, the Great Rupert Kingdom seems to be trying to hide this huge defeat?

The corner of the red mouth curved slightly.

So, let's start by dispelling the myth that the Great Rupert Kingdom is invincible.

PS: Last night, the power was cut off for another 8 hours. It was said to be for maintenance.

Outrageous!

Volume 271 Industry and Power: Chapter [-] Cat Music Radio

The Great Rupert Country has begun to tighten its control over Radio Cat League.

Forbidden listeners are acutely aware of this sudden change.

After the cat alliance radio reported the news that a semi-main fleet of the Great Rupert Kingdom was annihilated over Katus, the information control against the cat alliance suddenly became much stricter.

This is a very normal thing. After all, the previous cat alliance was only promoting its own set of fairy tale theories. From the perspective of the big Lupus cake layer, its threat level is not even a fraction of the union, so naturally it will not add more to it In his heart, he even secretly hoped that those prohibited listeners would listen less to the broadcasts of the Federation and listen more to the harmless things of the Cat League.

But if they want to deliberately break their information control and let those who shouldn't know know something they shouldn't know, then the Great Rupert Kingdom will definitely give some reactions-but to be honest, these reactions are also true. It's limited to a little bit.

The star field is so large, it is almost impossible to block all the signals by hard blocking. The most they can do is to set up shielding in some important populated areas, but they are powerless to remote star areas and regions up.

However, the vast majority of prohibited listeners are precisely located in those remote star regions and regions with weak control, which makes the places that need to be shielded not enough influential, and the places with enough influence have very little need for shielding.

How embarrassing how embarrassing.

"...Thank you for listening to the daily news, today's news program is over, let's see you next time."

"Dear listeners, the next thing you will be listening to is Maomao Music Radio..."

Listening to the long singing voice from the radio, the young Lupers nodded slightly, and turned the volume knob slightly down.

"What do you think of this news?"

After confirming that the cat league's news broadcast today has ended, another young Lupers on the side asked.

"The authenticity can be basically confirmed." One of them spoke, "There is reliable information that just a week after they launched an attack on Katus, the factory that was responsible for the logistics and maintenance of the Eighth Fleet began to produce warships at full capacity. That's it—if the Eighth Fleet hadn't suffered a huge blow, it would be impossible for them to produce new warships at this time."

"Of course we know that the news is true." Lupers who asked the question waved his hand, "Don't we just appear in this kind of place because we believe what the Cat League said?"
