Chapter 382 Iron Fist, Tough

Lultan was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred.

This battle was really frustrating. I really have never seen humans like this. We are all dignified Level 4 civilizations, and we can be considered respectable in this galaxy. In the war of civilizations, we will fight it openly.

However, human civilization has shrunk its entire population into four galaxies before the war began. Like a tortoise, it has shrunk directly into its shell. No matter how it is tempted, it cannot come out, leaving it completely helpless.

Over the years, every method has been used. Fraudulent defeat, luring the enemy, and traps are all useful, but human beings seem to be determined. They have always been defensive, as long as they keep the galaxy intact. The rest is out of the question.

Obviously, as long as it advances tens of millions of kilometers, it is very likely to eat up one of our own fleets. No one can resist this temptation, but humans can resist it, but they just don't come out.

In this case, you want me to take down a human galaxy? What about dreaming?

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Commander Lultan wrote a report, directly and firmly rejecting the combat order from the Speaker's Office.

Facing the report from the frontline commander, the high-level civilization officials were speechless.

If we can't take down a human galaxy, then...the last plan we can accept is also a death sentence.

But the situation at this moment has reached a point where it must be resolved and must be resolved.

Don’t you see that public opinion in civilization is getting more and more violent?

Do we really want to attack the Xiaguang Galaxy under the current circumstances?

There are simply not enough troops.

All eyes were focused on the Speaker.

He is the head of civilization. At this moment when civilization is facing such a crisis, he must stand up and come up with feasible solutions.

This is his duty.

With everyone's eyes focused on him, the Speaker remained silent. He remained silent. After a full ten minutes, he sighed softly.

In his career as head of state for nearly a thousand years, he has experienced many storms. Those from advanced civilizations, those from same-level civilizations, those from within civilizations, those from outside civilizations...

Every crisis was handled properly in the end. Although the civilization has encountered many storms, it is still safe and has developed to this day without any danger. It has even reached the advanced stage of the fourth-level civilization. It has vaguely touched the threshold of the dark power theory and has the hope of being promoted to the fifth-level civilization.

Although it is just a little hope, in this vast galaxy, having a little hope is already amazing enough. I don’t know how many level four civilizations don’t even have any hope.

In these ten minutes, he comprehensively sorted out the changes during this period, and truly pulled his heart out of restlessness, eagerness and impulsiveness, and regained his composure and confidence.

It was precisely because of this quality that he finally became the leader of civilization and held this position for nearly a thousand years.

"We were all wrong. We were all wrong before..."

He said slowly.

All the senior executives stared at each other.

"We made two huge mistakes from the very beginning of this war. First, we failed to realize that mankind had been promoted to a fourth-level civilization. Second, we failed to anticipate that mankind's engineering capabilities and social organization were so high. , was able to accumulate up to two million battleships in such a short period of time.

It is precisely because of these two mistakes that we fell into passivity from the beginning. We were led by the nose from the beginning and fell into the development path preset by mankind.

But the essence of these two mistakes is... our arrogance.

We never considered humanity a real opponent from the beginning. We only think that human beings are an ordinary third-level civilization that can be destroyed with a backhand. But I have forgotten that if I can join a civilization that is so valued by the 'higher-ups', will it be an ordinary civilization?

Ha... Ridiculous. It is our arrogance that has put us in such a passive situation today. "

The higher-ups of the civilization were horrified, and began to carefully examine their own hearts, and cold sweat broke out unconsciously.

"And the leaders of the human side are also good enough. They caught the two mistakes we made, took advantage of our arrogance, jumped up and down, fought left and right, and actually expanded the slight advantage at the beginning to such an extent..."

The speaker's voice gradually became colder: "I have to admit that we are indeed at a disadvantage today. However, we need to clearly realize that our disadvantage is only a disadvantage at the tactical level, not the strategic level.

As long as we adjust our strategy in a timely manner, truly let go of our arrogance, and truly view mankind and this war with a mentality of confronting a powerful enemy, then the strategic advantage will still be on our side.

In any case, we have huge technological advantages that can be called overwhelming, and we have sufficient demographic advantages and industrial advantages. At this stage, we just have not yet unleashed the war potential of civilization.

We need to clarify our next strategic arrangements.

First, shrink the territory. At present, within the territory of our civilization, there are more than 10,000 star systems, and hundreds of star systems are settled by people. This resulted in our troops being extremely dispersed and unable to unite. In the next time, we will gather all the population into three to five galaxies and concentrate on defense! "

The higher-ups of the civilization were shocked.

This, this is no small matter. This is a large-scale interstellar migration involving at least more than 300 billion people. Is it really worth it to deal with a mere human being?

The speaker's voice became stern: "Colleagues, it's time to put aside your contempt for humanity! We must raise our awareness and realize that this is a difficult war, a war that may even determine the fate of civilization!"

The senior officials all sighed in their hearts.

Since you say so, then so be it.

"Second, the mobilization order of civilization remains unchanged, but we need to increase the level of attention again.

Third, withdraw the expeditionary force of the solar system, strengthen the local forces, and escort the interstellar migration. Given the current situation and the tightness of our military forces, such a large-scale migration cannot be carried out without sufficient military escort.

Fourth, the Xiaguang Galaxy will not be rescued in the near future! We do not have enough power to rescue it at present! Forced rescue will only cause soldiers to die in vain!"

A senior official hesitated and said, "It's just... the public opinion in the civilization is really turbulent and can't be suppressed."

The Speaker sneered, "Can't suppress it? From today on, it is forbidden to discuss matters related to the Xiaguang Galaxy on the Internet, and the network interface of the Xiaguang Galaxy is banned! Anyone who dares to violate, dares to connect, dares to march, dares to oppose, will be arrested directly!"

All the senior officials were shocked.

This is so tough?

That is the public opinion of hundreds of billions of people! That is the public opinion that swept the entire civilization! The leader who so blatantly violated the public opinion of the entire civilization can be traced back to more than 100,000 years ago in the Yunguang civilization. At that time, the leader died miserably, and even his body was hung on the street lamp!

"Colleagues! Now is the era of war! Human civilization is the most terrible enemy we have encountered! In today's civilization, only one voice is allowed to exist!"

The senior officials looked at the Speaker in front of them and felt that he seemed a little strange.

Our Speaker... can be so tough and iron-fisted?

This made them a little uncomfortable. But they also felt inexplicably that at this time, the Speaker suddenly became tough and iron-fisted, which seemed to be a good thing, and they inexplicably had more impulses of conviction and obedience in their hearts.

"Yes!"

"Execute!"

"Yes!"

A bloody storm immediately broke out in the Yunguang civilization.

After discovering that matters related to the Xiaguang Galaxy were forbidden to be discussed and the network interface of the Xiaguang Galaxy was blocked, the people became extremely angry, and a wave of opposition immediately broke out in the civilization.

But this time, the Yunguang Civilization Government did not give in again, but took a tougher approach. In a short period of time, up to one million people were arrested in major galaxies, and this wave was forcibly suppressed.

After that, while the civilization mobilization order was being executed, large-scale interstellar migration began to be prepared. Although it was temporarily impossible to implement due to the lack of escort forces, the preliminary preparations could already be started.

As expected, interstellar migration was once again fiercely opposed.

It is difficult to leave the homeland, who is willing to move to other galaxies for no reason? Because of the war against human civilization? But just one human being is worthy of our civilization's attention?

It is still difficult for the people to complete the psychological transformation and put human civilization on the same level as an opponent.

The Yunguang Civilization Government's response plan was to, in addition to increasing publicity, once again show a strong enough hand and begin to promote the relocation with a compulsory plan. So the voice of opposition was suppressed again.

After two tough responses, the civilization finally entered the wartime system smoothly and initially reached the situation of "only one voice in the civilization".

The huge Yunguang civilization has been truly organized and is completing the transformation from an ordinary civilization to a war machine. Once the transformation is completed, this ancient fourth-level civilization will surely burst out with amazing combat power.

Han Yang clearly and keenly noticed these things happening in the Yunguang civilization. At this moment, Han Yang's heart also became solemn.

"An ancient fourth-level civilization that has lasted for more than 100,000 years is indeed not so easy to defeat. Those who can stand out from hundreds of millions of people and become the leaders of civilization are indeed not fools.

The situation is a little worse than I expected. But it doesn't matter, it is still within the acceptable range."

The best situation Han Yang expected was that the Yunguang civilization was coerced by internal public opinion and had to forcibly rescue the Xiaguang Galaxy under the condition of tight military strength. He sat on the Diaoyutai, surrounded the point and attacked the reinforcements, and destroyed one fleet after another, so as to continuously consume the combat power of the Yunguang civilization, so that they could not fully prepare for war and could not burst out the most powerful military force.

It would be best if the Yunguang civilization could still despise itself as always, and continue to disperse its population among dozens or hundreds of star systems, with scattered forces and loopholes everywhere.

At the same time, the solar system expeditionary force will be transferred back, and peace will be restored in the human homeland.

In this way, the Yunguang civilization will be in a state of chronic blood loss for a long time. Although there is a civilization mobilization order, it will not be able to complete the wartime transformation without four or five hundred years. And after four or five hundred years, I don’t know what I have developed into. Even if the Yunguang civilization successfully transforms, it will be useless.

But now, I didn’t expect that the leader of the Yunguang civilization would be so tough and iron-fisted, and actually made the most correct choice. Not only did he not rescue the Xiaguang Galaxy and avoid chronic blood loss, he also forcibly launched a large-scale interstellar migration, shrinking the territory and concentrating defense.

Although the solar system expeditionary force will most likely be transferred back, and human beings can also restore peace on their homeland, the time it takes for Yunguang Civilization to complete the wartime transition can be compressed to just over a hundred years, or at most two hundred years, which greatly shortens the time available to Han Yang.

The most important thing is... Yunguang Civilization obviously really regards itself as an opponent, and has taken the most solemn and serious attitude to deal with itself, no longer treating itself as a weak chicken as before.

In this way, Han Yang has fewer opportunities and loopholes to exploit.

"Sure enough, relying on strategies can only gain tactical advantages. To win the war of civilizations and to gain strategic advantages, we still have to do it uprightly and rely on the hard power of civilization."

Han Yang's thoughts were temporarily withdrawn, and his eyes returned to the solar system again.

After decades of war, the wreckage of warships and the remains of explosions have been scattered throughout the solar system. Traffic between planets has long been completely cut off.

Under the dark clouds of war, people have long been accustomed to confining their lives to the surface of the planet. Entering space and traveling between different planets seemed to be a long time ago.

This day was still the same as before. In addition to the brilliant stars in space, there were also the tail flames of countless warships and spacecraft. They also gathered together like stars, almost illuminating the entire sky.

The human fleet was still on high alert.

In this situation, Han Yang saw that the Yunguang warships, which had been eyeing this planet for decades, millions of kilometers away, suddenly began to retreat in an orderly manner.

The human fleet paid close attention but did not make any moves.

The Yunguang warships also carefully guarded against the actions of the human fleet, and the retreat was extremely slow. It was not until they withdrew to a safe distance that they began to accelerate at full speed.

The human fleet still did not pursue, so the Yunguang fleet retreated to more than 2 trillion kilometers away from the sun.

This took several months.

Afterwards, under the gaze of the human probe, accompanied by a burst of light and shadow changes, the Yunguang fleet, which still had more than 190,000 warships, completely disappeared.

Han Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

The Yunguang Expeditionary Fleet finally retreated. The human homeland can finally be at peace.

"No matter what, this step of the plan is finally successful."

Han Yang thought secretly: "It is better to fight in the enemy's homeland than in your own homeland." (End of this chapter)
