Through Luo Zilan's narration, Su Qing understood what was going on. It was all tens of thousands of years ago.
After the collapse of the cultivation civilization, mankind entered a mechanical civilization, science developed rapidly, and two systems were formed that combined technology and supernatural powers.
Su Qing couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know what kind of powerful force could destroy the entire cultivation world, leaving only three or two kittens. Maybe it was not destroyed, but everyone traveled to another space to avoid the enemy or they were all there. If you are locked up in one place and cannot get out, you may die with the enemy.
In Su Qing's random thoughts, the flying car stopped at the space port. The teachers and students of Qinglan College got off the car and prepared to enter the school's spaceship and leave the Imperial City.
As soon as they entered the lobby of the spaceport, the picture on the huge star screen wall where the program was being broadcast changed instantly, and a news anchor appeared. The female anchor said in a rapid voice:
"Dear viewers, here is an important piece of news. On September 13th, Imperial calendar year XXXX, the patrol fleet of our Fourth Border Army and a fleet of the Federal Republic had a conflict at the junction of the two countries. The two sides briefly After the incident, the commander of the Fourth Army immediately dispatched a support fleet to the local area to learn about the specific situation. Please stay tuned to the Central News Channel for the latest situation."
After this news broadcast, many people talked about it. There has been no war in the empire for more than 20 years. The last war was a long time ago. It was the war in which Huang Jing's boyfriend died. Since then, the two countries have been at peace. They coexist, develop the interstellar space in different directions, and sometimes join forces to develop a planet.
Conflicts are not new, but the Central News Channel will also deliberately interrupt the broadcast. It seems that the situation is not simple. Everyone is talking about it.
Su Qing doesn't care about this. The empire's border is far away from them.
The teachers and students of Qinglan College boarded the spaceship on time, left the Imperial City, returned to Morning Star, and started a new life.
But at this time, the main hall of the palace was solemn. From His Majesty the Emperor to all the ministers, everyone looked serious and remained silent.
Yan Zexi, the current emperor of the Galaxy Empire, is a handsome middle-aged man. He is tall and has a cold gaze. His charming temperament presses towards the ministers, showing his dissatisfaction.
Finally, someone couldn't stand the pressure and said, "Your Majesty, maybe it's just a small conflict about resources. We don't have to go to war with the Federation. After all, we have been at peace for more than 20 years."
The person speaking was the Imperial Finance Minister. He really didn’t want to start a war, so just let it be a small fight.
If we really want to fully fight the Federal Republic, the Empire will not have the upper hand. Then the finances will be tight and the army will suffer heavy losses, causing a series of problems.
"How can we do that? We have to retreat step by step. We have given in several times. Why should we jointly develop the newly discovered resource planet this time? The planet was discovered in the direction of our country. I suggest we start a fight and let the Federation know. We are so powerful that we won’t dare to reach out easily in the future, just like we did twenty years ago.”
The first marshal of the Imperial Military Department, He Cangming, was speaking. He was a powerful and powerful old man, dressed in military uniform, and his words were sonorous and powerful.
The two people's words broke the solemn atmosphere, and others dared to express their opinions. With the strength of the empire, it is not impossible to fight a war.
Although the royal family has great power in the entire empire, the major aristocratic families do not give in too much. The ministers are not from aristocratic families. Once something needs to be cut, the major aristocratic families and the royal family will argue with each other, and no one wants to sacrifice their own. Strength, let the other party take advantage.
The Fourth Army was controlled by a big family. The border was originally a good place. Since there had been no war with the neighboring Federation for many years, the entire Fourth Army would frantically expand its territory in search of various resource stars, and reap a lot of rewards.
But once a war breaks out, there will be no benefits, and many people will die. The expenditure on various weapons, warships, and logistics materials will be astronomical, and the imperial financial allocation is simply not enough.
To put it bluntly, no one wants to suffer and lose their own interests.
However, the military headquarters fully supported the war. Even many generals of the Fourth Army were not opposed to the war, otherwise they would have quickly dispatched a support fleet.
He Cangming is a pure soldier. He will not consider those things and strictly implement His Majesty's instructions. Military and government officials have always liked to sing the opposite. The Fourth Army is not a force of the He family. It is still important to safeguard the rights and interests of the empire. His Majesty can also fight through war. Schedule more things.
Someone sneered and said: "Marshal He, since you have been clamoring for war, you might as well bring the First Army to fight against the Federation. The Fourth Army is only responsible for guarding the border."
The First Army belongs to the royal family and is considered the central army. He Cangming was supported by the emperor. The fact that he can safely sit in the position of marshal is the strong support of the royal family.
Yan Zexi had a very ugly look on his face. He looked at which minister with needle-like eyes. It was impossible for the First Army to leave the Central Galaxy. Different armies were stationed in each major galaxy, representing various forces. The First Army was Although the royal family also has management power over other armies, its control ability is not that strong.
From the First Army to the Ninth Army, the strength becomes worse as they go back, and there is not much oil and water in the places where they are stationed.
"The First Army must not act rashly. It is the barrier that protects the central galaxy. Let the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, and the Sixth Army each draw out a fleet to test the Federation's reaction."
Yan Zexi said eloquently that since he ascended the throne, he has been competing with the major families, and has achieved a lot of results, consolidating the imperial power. Most of the power of the army is in his hands. Some families have too strong control, and they can only slowly try to control it. , he insisted on starting the war because he wanted to use the war to take action against the Fourth Army.
The other ministers wanted to speak, but were stopped by the emperor's knife-like gaze, okay! Then give it a try. When the time comes, let the fleet belonging to the royal faction test the water, just in time to clear out the disobedient part of the army.
At this meeting, everyone decided to start a war against the Federation.
The two countries have not had a large-scale war for more than 20 years. Once the decision to go to war is made, all major departments in the entire empire will begin to formulate plans. The military staff will study the trend of the war and how to attack the opponent. Every day Hold a video conference with the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, and the entire national machine starts to move.
Just here in the central galaxy, troops were being prepared to mobilize troops. During the war, news came from the border. The fleets of the two countries exchanged fire and accidentally exploded a black hole-like substance. Now that place is getting bigger and bigger, and there are all kinds of strange things. A strange sound came.
The Fourth Army's reinforcement fleet has arrived and brought all our own soldiers back. They stopped in the distance to observe the black hole. The hole belongs to invisible matter and should be a kind of energy. What does it belong to that cannot be detected by existing instruments?
This makes the monarchs and ministers of the Central Galaxy a little confused. Should we still fight the battle with the Federation? Is the black hole dangerous? What is hidden in it?
Perhaps because the Empire has not encountered such a thing for thousands of years, humans have long forgotten the dangers of wormholes.
When Yan Zexi encounters any difficult issues, he will go to the Imperial Preceptor to ask. In fact, the so-called Imperial Preceptor is like a staff member of the royal family. They use their skills passed down from ancient times to help the royal family better manage the empire.
This generation of Imperial Master is called Cheng Lang. He is in his sixties this year and looks about 30 years old. He is younger than the emperor. He has a very cold temperament and is indifferent to everything.
The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is located behind the palace. In a large separate building, it is where the Imperial Preceptor, his disciples and servants live. Only the best ones who have truly started practicing cultivation will be recognized by the Imperial Preceptor as his disciples and taught personally. .
