No matter how strong a person is, once he is involved in the torrent of history, he can only drift with it and cannot help himself.
…
Ren Zhong doesn't really want to become Li Yang's "sword".
Until now, he still has the means to reverse the situation in an instant.
That was to take advantage of Li Yang's trust in his "friend" and kill him directly.
It's not difficult, it's just a matter of moving your fingers.
After all, Li Yang only has the power of mind control and has no fighting ability at all.
But Ren Zhong didn't want to do this, because there was no point in simply killing Li Yang and interrupting the current war.
There will still be a battle between Ying Hao and Hewitt Augustus, who have revealed their trump cards. The damned people will still die, but for a different reason.
Or, even if Ren Zhong explodes and suppresses both Ying Hao and Hewitt, completely gaining power, it still doesn't make any sense.
Because he saw Elder Frozen's trump card again.
There are a large number of star battleships, a large number of professionals who are beyond the ninth level, and ninth level beasts. There is no need to fight this battle. If you have a heavy task, you know that no matter how strong your troops are, the chance of winning is still zero.
Then, a comprehensive purge before the Great Migration is still destined to happen.
Ren Zhong thought for a long time and decided to grit his teeth and truly join the battlefield, become a part of the flesh and blood millstone, and continue to observe the direction of the situation.
He believed that there was always a way out, and as long as he could be resurrected and restarted, he would be able to find a way to break the situation sooner or later.
The current confusion is simply because he has not obtained enough information.
In the next nearly month, the war between Mengdu Group and Yuanxing Military Industry spread across the board, breaking out in every settlement in the Yuanxing system.
Ren Zhong is only a military staff officer in name, and the commander-in-chief is Ying Hao himself.
But when the fight started, Ren Zhong immediately discovered that Ying Hao, the so-called commander-in-chief, was actually just a mascot. Ying Hao has no military command ability at all. He only knows how to use human sea tactics. He only knows how to constantly mobilize troops and then use numerical superiority to achieve an overwhelming victory.
As for ambushes, psychological warfare, logistical warfare, terrain advantages, attacking in the east and attacking in the west, encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao... and other tactical strategies that can gain greater advantages at a smaller cost, Ying Hao doesn't know any of them.
In the first two days after the war, Ying Haoxian ignored Ren Zhong's many suggestions and achieved many tragic victories. He killed nearly 10 million colonial warriors at the cost of nearly 20 million people. And hundreds of millions of beasts. Ying Hao was a little complacent at the time, but he took a look at the statistics of the battle report of the Spark Army alone, and Ying Hao fell silent.
In just two days, the Spark Army killed nearly 3 million Mengdu Group soldiers and nearly 30 million Ruin Beasts, but its own battle losses were only tens of thousands, and the kill-to-kill ratio reached an astonishing height.
Ying Hao then opened the detailed battle report of the Spark Army and began to review the details of each battle one by one.
Ying Hao could tell from the rules of the battle report that what made the heavy-duty army unique.
All of the Starfire Army's actions on the First Continent were well-targeted, and they were rarely forced into encounters.
Before most operations, the Spark Army's staff headed by Chen Hanyu will conduct careful investigations in advance, prepare a large number of plans, take into account various situations, and plan the marching routes, attack timings, and attack directions of various military services and units. , weapon configuration and other details, and then it is either as motionless as a mountain or as moving as thunder.
Even if there was an occasional hasty encounter or a sneak attack by the opponent, the Spark Army never panicked at all. They only responded quickly and methodically, reorganizing, gathering, fighting back, and retreating.
After reading these battle reports, Ying Hao looked at his own battle reports and pondered for a long time.
After that, Ren Zhong, the general staff officer, was quietly upgraded to a real commander, and also became a butcher who harvested lives.
In one month, nearly 200 million of Ying Hao's 300 million army died, nearly 150 million of Mengdu Group's 200 million colonial warriors died, and billions of ruin beasts were killed.
But this is still not the full number of casualties.
On the Origin Star, there were billions of deserted people who were displaced due to war, died of cold, starvation and disease, were forced to live in the wild and died from beasts and various accidents, and died from internal strife between people.
In a war, a super-large-yield thermal flame missile launched by the missile force was intercepted midway and detonated prematurely. The dispersed stream of hot flames drew a parabola in the air and just fell into a town. It rained down like a meteor shower, and for a while, the whole land was filled with grief and tragedy.
Sixty thousand people died in this accident.
An army of beasts from the Mengdu Group was rushing to the battlefield, passing a town along the way. The commander behind this Ruin beast army thought that they should take a short rest to restore the Ruin beasts' physical strength and promote their evolution appropriately, so...
In this accident, more than 80,000 people died, and no one in the town was spared.
A certain settlement on the source Venus had its shielding sky broken in a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides. More than 300,000 people died in this accident.
…
There are many, many things like this.
Ren Zhong watched all this "cold-bloodedly", watching the world from the dual standpoint of a bystander and a witness, to experience these natural and man-made disasters one after another.
Every tragedy is directly related to him, the commander-in-chief of the Origin Star Military and Industrial Army.
But there was nothing he could do.
On the thirtieth day of the war, Ren Zhong was tapping his fingers on the table.
At this time, the armies of both sides had just come into contact with a very large-scale battle and were undergoing a short period of training.
It’s rare to have some respite from a heavy responsibilities. You don’t have to work hard on the sandbox, you don’t have to lead the staff team in meetings to brainstorm, and you don’t have to keep an eye on the ever-changing frontline through WeChat and Monternet. information.
But at this time, his mind was not relaxed at all, and the scenes of the tragedy were playing like a marquee.
Ren Zhong would put his fingers on his chest from time to time.
He's weighing in.
He was wondering if he should just blow himself up and go back in time to a month ago to see if he could use the power of time to change the direction of this war.
Maybe killing Li Yang can delay the outbreak of war slightly, but what happens next...
Or perhaps, getting rid of all Li Yang, Hewitt, and Ying Hao can completely change the situation. But in that case, everything he had done before would be in vain, and the Spark Army still would not have the ability to compete with the ultimate force in the hands of Elder Frozen.
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he could only come up with a way to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Suddenly, Ren Zhong suddenly stood up from the sofa.
Just now, his "WeChat" communication system was taken over by an outside force.
According to the division of authority in the program he wrote to Shenxun Group, only one person can take over the highest authority instantly - Elder Frozen.
Sure enough, a human voice sounded in the WeChat communication.
"I am Ying Feng, the founder of Yuanxing Military Industry."
"I am Barton Augustus, founder of the Mendo Group."
These are the voices of two old men. The beginning is clear and the final word is final.
Next, the two men forced a halt to the war in the name of the Supreme Council of Elders.
As Li Yang speculated, there are still more than eighteen years before the Great Migration. The recovery plan has not yet been completed, and the progress of the spaceship transformation project is far from enough. The Frozen Elders cannot tolerate the population purge occurring prematurely.
In the event that the two sides "fake it for real" start a real fight, completely ruining people's livelihood, and even affecting the Great Migration Plan, this situation does not meet the expectations of Elder Frozen, so it is inevitable to stop it.
Ren Zhong even knew that assuming that Ying Hao had not been infiltrated and controlled by Li Yang and his thinking was still normal, it would be impossible to start a war in advance.
The essence behind the deaths of more than one billion people is nothing more than a "fishing game" played by Li Yang.
Sure enough, as soon as the order arrived, the door of Ren Zhong's office was immediately pushed open by a colonial soldier.
This colonial warrior quietly left the Mengdu Group and joined the Ren Group after Ren Zhong officially "surrendered" to Li Yang.
Others couldn't understand why Ren Zhong would trust an outsider so much, but since Ren Zhong made the decision, others didn't question it much.
"Mr. Ren, my master asked me to inform you that if you are summoned by the Supreme Elder, you must inform him and take him with you as a follower."
Ren nodded, "Okay."
…
However, Ren Zhong soon learned that Li Yang's wishful thinking had failed.
The nine frozen elders did not show up, but dispatched a large number of starry sky level professionals beyond level nine in a very short period of time to appear in the skies over strategic locations including Military Industrial City, Mengdu City, Upper and Lower Yuanjing City, and Spark Town.
These professionals, who were covered in black clothes and armor, and whose bodies exuded a dense mist, did not take action and only maintained pressure on the ground.
Subsequently, a large number of troops and engineers affiliated to the association went straight to various strategic points and began to collect powerful weapons including heavy-duty missiles.
At the same time, everyone including Ren Zhong and Li Yang were summoned to Xiayuanjing City.
Li Yang did not get what he wanted. He just appeared in a small conference room with Ren Zhong, Ying Hao and others as Hewitt's follower. He watched the televised speeches of the two frozen elders through the remote data system, and Sign the armistice agreement.
In addition to the senior executives of Yuanxing Military Industry and Mengdu Group, many people from the other seven leading companies and members of the Elders Group also came as witnesses to the signing of the agreement.
During the meeting, Ren Zhong noticed that from time to time strangers in the small room suddenly turned their heads to look at Li Yang's direction, and then showed a knowing smile.
Ren Zhong, who understood the principle of Li Yang's supernatural powers, knew that he was developing "believers" again.
Over there, Ying Hao and Hewitt, as the supreme leaders of both sides, read the armistice agreement and wrote their names together. An old man in the elders suddenly asked the TV: "Dear Supreme Elder, since the situation is so turbulent now, I I wonder if you have any plans to bring together all the senior citizens for a face-to-face public address.”
Ren Zhong's heart thumped.
This member of the elders group had also smiled at Li Yang before. This was Li Yang's unwillingness to set the bait again.
The old man in the TV screen who looked somewhat similar to Ying Hao shook his head, "We are about to enter deep sleep again, and there is no need to speak publicly. The Great Migration is important, but it is actually your own business. As long as we can lead Just bring the most basic personnel and supplies. Therefore, we will only mediate this time. If you want to seek your own death, we don't care."
After saying that, the screen belonging to Ying Feng and Barton instantly went black.
Half an hour after the meeting ended, Ren Zhong saw Li Yang in his room.
His face was livid and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
After entering the door, he took his time for a moment before praising, "You have done a good job. Your military ability impresses me."
Ren Zhongyi handed over his hand and said, "Thank you."
Li Yang shook his head, "It's not a reward, but sincerity. Strictly speaking, Yuanxing Military Industry's military strength is not as strong as that of the Mengdu Group. If it weren't for your existence, it would not have been possible to achieve the anxious situation where the outcome was falsified. But now there are new problems."
Ren Zhong: "What?"
Li Yang: "I have already asked my new friends. No one knows the resting place of Elder Frozen. Since these old popsicles have become wary and plan to sleep until the great migration, it is impossible for me to find them."
Ren Zhong frowned, "This is indeed a big trouble."
Ren Zhong also thought that maybe the frozen elders realized after waking up last time that without the help of "Net", their invincible golden body would no longer be so reliable. They also have a sense of crisis in their hearts. Instead of saying more and making mistakes, it is better to hide deeply and control the outside world only through absolute force. This is both safe and reliable.
Li Yang asked again: "Since you are the person in charge of the recovery plan, I would like to ask if you can find a way to dig out all the people for me by controlling the electromagnetic communication network."
Ren Zhong pretended to think seriously for a long time, then shook his head, "It shouldn't be possible. My people and I are only responsible for programming, but the real core code layer is done by people from Shenxun Group. Ma Xiacheng told me that he has By handing over the supreme control of the electromagnetic communication network to Elder Frozen, naturally no one can break it."
"I see, then I have only one way..." Li Yang firmly believed in Ren Zhong's words.
Ren Zhong: "What can we do?"
Li Yang: "I am also planning to enter cryo-sleep and sleep until one month before the great migration before waking up."
Ren Zhong: "What!!! What about your career, Mengdu Group and Yuanxing Military Industry? What about our friends?"
Li Yang grinned and smiled slightly: "It's okay, isn't it because of you?"
Ren Zhong fell into silence.
After a long time, he clenched his fists slightly and said, "Well, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Then, I leave it to you."
An hour later, Li Yang entered cryogenic slumber in Xiayuanjing City.
At the same time, Ren Zhong detonated the bomb in his body.
He's ready to reopen.
At the same time, he also found new solutions.
Li Yang asked him if he could dig out the frozen elders through the electromagnetic network, and Ren Zhong's answer was no.
But in fact, he can.
In the arduous time cycle, as long as he finds a plan, there is theoretically nothing he can't do.
