Chapter 202 Chapter 3 War of Attrition

When Chen Kang saw Tang Long again, he couldn't help being surprised. When he sent the huge batch of warships over last time, he never saw Tang Long so happy. Why is he so happy now?Is it because of seeing yourself?Is my relationship with him so good? "Haha, Chen Kang, let me tell you, I now have a few more vassal states. I never expected that under the strong pressure of the confrontation between our Tang Dynasty and Kaiwu Kingdom, if we don't fight a single battle, those small handles in the entire Wuchao galaxy , it’s really a good deal to just send them to your door and beg me to annex them.”

Tang Long patted Chen Kang's shoulder triumphantly, and laughed. "Then congratulations." Of course, Chen Kang thought that Tang Long might not have attacked Kaiwu Kingdom because he had absorbed these vassal states, so he was not surprised. "Haha, this is nothing to be congratulated on, you know, those vassal states don't have any good intentions, yet they dare to ask me for help! "You don't know, they are so stupid, they seem to take refuge in me to save my face, and don't even think about it, why do I want a subordinate country? "Which piece of territory under my Tang Dynasty is not directly under it? The reason why I didn't annex them immediately is because the time is running out. When the time comes, I don't think they are still weak!" Tang Long pulled Chen Kang and started nagging .

Chen Kang was stunned when he heard that, he immediately understood that the leaders of the affiliated countries that Tang Long talked about were all members of the organization, otherwise they wouldn't be so arrogant. Before, they thought that Tang Long was a member of the organization, but after the news of the directorship competition spread throughout the organization, everyone in the organization knew that the agent of the competitor would not have a good result, because there were already dozens of The agent of the failed competitor died, so it was only natural that the people in the organization did not give Tang Long a good face at all.

Chen Kang did not intend to persuade Tang Long or the heads of those affiliated countries, because in Chen Kang's view, no matter how Tang Long made trouble, even if the entire Wuluanxing system was really unified, after the victory of the general manager, Tang Long and Datang Kingdom, Already doomed to perish. If so, why bother so much? Thinking of this, Chen Kang, who originally wanted to induce Tang Long to attack Kaiwu Kingdom, suddenly changed his mind. Tang Long is a fine person, and it is impossible for him to be fooled by deliberate inducement. It is more effective to come directly.

Having made up his mind, Chen Kang, after a few words with Tang Longhala, excused himself to be busy with the company and left. Chen Kang went to the street, and did not leave immediately by car, but walked into the phone booth and made a call: "It's me, send me a thousand robots carrying bombs, and let them scatter in the territory of Datang to blow themselves up , Designing them to shout Long Live Kaiwu Kingdom before they blew themselves up." After finishing speaking, they hung up. "Hey, in this way, even if you, Tang Long, are not willing to go to war, your people will ask you to go to war. I'll see what you do."

Chen Kang whistled cheerfully, stopped a taxi and left.It never occurred to him that his every move was being watched. "Hmph, this guy Chen Kang is getting more and more vicious. He actually used this trick to make me go to war with Kaiwu Kingdom! Damn, he said it so vaguely. I don't know where those thousand robots came from and where they exploded. I want to prevent It can't be prevented, what a bastard!" Tang Long, who received the spy's report, walked back and forth in the room with an ugly expression. "My lord, we should strengthen our surveillance on Chen Kang, and we should be able to find some clues." A spy said aloud.

"Well, it's better than nothing. Order the police to step up patrols, and let the local governments formulate plans for the aftermath of the worst-case scenario." Tang Long waved his hand helplessly and made his subordinates retreat. He didn't hold much hope for eliminating Chen Kang's conspiracy. Bingran, just as Tang Long thought, when the spies and police were searching around, there were a thousand incidents of terrorists self-destructing and attacking civilians in the territory of Datang, and without exception, the terrorists shouted before self-detonation. Long live Kaiwu Kingdom.

This immediately made the people of Datang, who already considered themselves the largest country in the Wuchao galaxy, and despised Kaiwu Kingdom because of the last planetary explosion, furious, ranging from a ninety-year-old man to a three-year-old Children, all shouted excitedly, wanting Tang to send troops to destroy Kaiwu Kingdom. Tang Long also understands that if he does not launch an attack at this time, he and the government will disappoint the people. In addition, the information from Kaiwu Kingdom shows that Kaiwu Kingdom has also been attacked by terrorists, but the number is not so large That's all, that bit was the first to announce revenge.

Now that the opponent couldn't bear it anymore, and the army had already prepared for it, Tang Long stopped procrastinating and immediately issued an attack order through the news. Finally ushered in a decisive battle, and the people in the entire Wuchao Galaxy were excited, and they didn't know how the information leaked out. Anyway, the TV stations in the entire Wuchao Galaxy received information about the military strength of the two warring parties. Originally, Datang's TV station did not dare to broadcast these materials, they were afraid that it would leak their country's military information, but Tang Long not only agreed to broadcast them unexpectedly, but also sent some confidential information held by the intelligence department to TV station.

With the support of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the TV stations of the Datang Kingdom immediately gave full play to the nature of journalists, dispatched everywhere to cooperate with the government's intentions, and began to broadcast the war in an all-round way. The data exposed by the Datang media is a hundred times more detailed than the information received by various TV stations in the Wuchao galaxy inexplicably not long ago. Of course, these data cannot be more detailed than the internal version of the army, but these data are enough for people in the entire universe to understand the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the performance of the battleships of the two sides, and the life positions of the main generals of the two sides.

People in the entire universe have obviously never seen this kind of battle where the information of both sides is almost exposed to the eyes of the world. Everyone can't help but discuss the comparison of the winning and losing chips of the two sides with interest. When the inferiority of human beings appears, the beginning of the game is inevitable. up. First, it was a bet made by several people, and then it was a gambling game formed by geometric expansion of planets, galaxies, countries, and constellations. By the time hundreds of large consortiums have jointly signed the Cosmos Bank as a guarantee to act as bankers and accept bets from the entire universe, people participating in gambling have already spread throughout the universe. After Tang Long knew about this gamble that spread throughout the universe, he immediately asked the Ministry of Intelligence, the Information Administration, and the Ministry of Culture to work together to spread the good news about Datang's social status, cultural characteristics, and economic conditions, etc. throughout the universe. Before the war started, most of the people in the universe already knew about the existence of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Long's move made Datang many more businessmen out of thin air, and increased a lot of profits and taxes.Tang Long didn't expect this. He resorted to this trick of publicity just to increase his popularity and make it easier for him to fight for hegemony in the universe in the future. Judging from the information released by the gambling bureau, Kaiwu Kingdom is relatively unfavorable because of the last planetary explosion. The odds given by the dealer are one to ten. The odds are ten to one. But also because of this, those who bet on Kai Wu Guo will get several times the profit, so some risk-loving guys put their money on Kai Wu Guo, and some powerful gamblers who make a living by gambling even plan to secretly Help Kaiwu Kingdom win. As for the organization that Chen Kang belongs to, it is obvious that it is just a competition for selection within the organization, which will cause a sensation in the whole universe. In order to prevent the organization from becoming two hostile camps because of the gambling, the head of the organization issued a strict order: except for the two competitors and their subordinates, the rest of the people are not allowed to participate in this battle, nor are they allowed to participate in the gambling. Seeing the odds, Chen Kang and the general manager were all anxious. Such odds were enough for various forces to attack Datang. Wouldn't it be a doomed defeat?But they couldn't think of any way to solve it. Do they want to pay a lot of money to buy Kaiwu Kingdom to win, to even out the odds?Isn't this shooting yourself in the foot, embarrassing yourself? However, their worries quickly dissipated, and after a news broadcast with new information, the odds of both sides gradually became one to one. The new information is that Kaiwu Kingdom owns 3 million X-ships, Datang owns 200,000 Beluga ships and 1 million X-ships. In addition, the warships of the two dependent countries add up to more than six million high-level warships, but these can only be regarded as low-level warships compared to the X battleships, and they are not included in the calculation. On the bright side, although Datang has 2 million less X-ships than Kaiwu Kingdom, but the 200,000 white whales and a silver armor fortress are believed to be able to compete with the 2 million X-ships. Arrived at the starting point.As a result, many thrill-seeking gamblers have lost interest. Although Chen Kang's group breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts were still high. They didn't expect that the opponent's aid to the agent was not one million but three million X battleships. While Chen Kang and the others were yelling at their rivals, they could only calm down and watch the ensuing battle. At this point, they could do nothing but watch which of the two agents performed better on the spot. On a whim, Tang Long, without knowing why, actually ordered directly to use the funds from the treasury to bet on himself to win, and his approach immediately aroused the people of Datang to follow suit, and the strong Datang capital directly smashed the odds One hundred to one, that is to say, those who buy Datang Sheng will only pay one yuan for betting one hundred yuan, while those who buy Kaiwu Guosheng will pay one yuan for one yuan. Tang Long's move was very powerful, he easily tied the entire people of Tang Dynasty to the chariot, because many people put their money into it. This change caused Chen Kang and the general manager's blood pressure to rise immediately, almost causing a cerebral blood vessel explosion, and they died just like that. However, their blood pressure soon stabilized, because Bit from Kaiwu Kingdom couldn't understand Tang Long's morale-boosting move, and he found that the morale of the people under his command dropped after hearing the news about Datang. So powerful, I had no choice but to follow Tang Long's example and deposit the money from the treasury, and at the same time forcefully order the nobles to deposit their wealth. Although this move boosted the morale of the soldiers at the lower levels, it also offended the entire noble class. Even if these people lost the war, they could be rich, but now that they have lost the war, they will become paupers. Can they not have resentment? Of course, the war was linked to their own interests, and these nobles also changed their habit of procrastination and laziness in the past, and became more focused and pragmatic.And the odds of the game became one to one again. At the beginning, both sides sent a large number of troops as the vanguard to test the reality. Tang Long sent 500,000 fully robotic X-ships, while Bit sent out nearly 2 million high-level warships from all dependent countries. Well, maybe he doesn't want the troops of these dependent countries to disrupt his own position, after all, those high-level warships are too weak. However, the strikers of both sides failed to complete the task, because the strikers of both sides faced each other across the Lieyang Starfield. The performance of Tang Long's 500,000 X battleships is better than that of the high-level warships over there, but the number is too large, and the Lieyang Starfield is very unstable. A few random shots will cause the starfield to turmoil. In addition, there is only a narrow channel that erupts from time to time, and the passing fleet will be burned to ashes at any time, so the Datang Army did not rush into the Lieyang Starfield foolishly, but just guarded the door. And those fleets formed by Kaiwu's vassal states would not run in to die, but they still blocked the exit firmly, because if the exit was not guarded, the enemy army could easily break into the mainland, which was a big deal for both sides. The same, so everyone can only stay on both sides to waste time. Seeing that the forward was useless, the follow-up central army and the rear army, by coincidence, chose a star field where both sides could devote all their troops to start a battle. Tang Long, who was staying in the Yinjia Fortress, looked at the group of battleships that could not be seen on the screen, scratched his head in distress, and sighed: "Damn it, it seems that this war will become a war of attrition, what the hell Unfortunately, is there no other way to avoid such a war of attrition? You know, after such a war of attrition, there will not be much left!" The little black cat who followed desperately yawned, glanced at Tang Long who was pacing back and forth, and said, "Brother, you wouldn't drive this Silver Armor Fortress to lay an ambush in the Starfield of Lieyang? You know, Silver Fortress A is strengthened, as well as its outer shell, which is strong enough to withstand the outer heat energy from the stars, and definitely allows you to freely travel back and forth in the Starfield of the Blazing Sun." "What?! It's so powerful!?" Tang Long's eyes lit up immediately.No wonder Tang Long was so excited. As long as he could pass through the Lieyang Starfield and destroy the two million enemy high-level battleships guarding the gate, it would be no problem at all. At that time, the rear of Kaiwu Kingdom would be left to be ravaged by himself. "Of course, if you don't believe me, just drive there and try." The little black cat curled its lips and said. "Hey, of course I believe it. If you don't believe it, who do you trust?" Tang Long said this with a smile, turned around and ordered: "Order all the school officials to come to the meeting." There are not many generals in the Datang Army, so the school officer is the commanding class of the Datang Army. Tang Long here has found a solution, while Bit over there is still distressed. His distress was the same as Tang Long's. He didn't want his so many warships to be consumed in one war, but there was nothing he could do. The method of face-to-face battle of the large armies is a war of attrition. It depends entirely on whose battleship has better performance, who has more troops, and other command capabilities and combat methods are secondary in such a huge battle. However, Bit didn't particularly care about this point, because anyway, his own strength is nearly two million more X-ships than Datang's. A piece of tofu, just kill it with one head. Thinking of this, Bit relaxed, no matter how much it consumes, as long as he wins, he will be the upper echelon of the universe. At that time, this chaotic galaxy will not be worthy of his eyes. "Needless to say, do as I say, if you don't believe me, you should also believe in the advanced technology of our Datang!" Tang Long said impatiently. Hearing this, the school officials who dissuaded Tang Long from taking the risk himself hurriedly pleaded guilty, they were not willing to bear the charge of not trusting the lord. "Brother, I won't go this time. I will stay here to help you design the virus. When I find the loopholes in the Kaiwu army, my virus can control them immediately. By then, brother will have a large number of warships out of thin air." " said the little black cat suddenly. Hearing this, Tang Long of course immediately nodded in agreement. Originally, the little black cat wanted to use its ability to build tens of thousands of warships, but this number is worthless compared to millions of troops, and the little black cat will get seriously ill because of it field, so Tang Long rejected the proposal from the little black cat. As for the use of viruses to infect enemy ships, that was an action carried out by the two sides before the war started, but the current defense technology is relatively advanced, and they are all running off the network. It is Tang Long who has such an excellent network as the little black cat. Experts also need a certain amount of luck to release the virus to the enemy. Under Tang Long's insistence, Tang Long brought the Yinjia Fortress and came to the Lieyang Starfield alone. The Tang army blocking the entrance of the passage saw the Yinjia Fortress. Of course, he knew who was coming. Get out of the way.But when they saw that Yinjia Fortress was about to enter the Lieyang Starfield, they were frightened and wanted to follow, but Tang Long stopped them. "Brother, is my program poisoned? Just now I saw that the Silver Armor Fortress sailed into the Lieyang Starfield by itself." A soldier on a Datang battleship turned his head and whispered to his comrades beside him. Since Chen Kang aided 700,000 troops and supporting robot troops, plus the original robot soldiers, three quarters of the soldiers in the Datang Army were robots. Among so many robots calculated in units of billions, it is natural that there are inevitably a large number of intelligent robots, and these two soldiers are part of the intelligent robots. "There should be no problem. Our lord likes to charge into the battle. According to the records, the lord personally drove the Silver Armor Fortress into the enemy's army ninety times, if not a hundred times. It's not worth making a fuss about." Another soldier Said. "Ah, how admirable our lord is, he actually went into battle in person. If it was someone from other places, they would have sent us cannon fodder to die long ago." The soldier before said with a full face of admiration. "Yeah, Datang is really strange. Just think about it, who will put artificial skin on our robots, make household registration, compile files, and even have salaries and benefits." Another soldier sighed. "Hee hee, I was excited when talking about the salary. When I first heard the introduction from the officers, I still didn't believe it. When the pay day came, I ran to the bank and swiped my card. Wow, there is really a sum of money. Called in." The soldier before suddenly looked intoxicated, and said with a smile: "When I came back from the bank, I happened to see a miniature super-capacity hard drive dedicated to robots on the street, so I took out the money and bought it. My storage capacity is several times that of yours. Ah, it feels so good to be rich!" "Hey, do you think I'm so stupid? My eyes are specially made electronic eyes. The clarity and resolution are many times higher than yours." Another soldier said proudly. "Damn, what's so great about it, I can change it when the next time the rations are out!" said the soldier earlier angrily. "By the way, we are still private soldiers, and our salary is not high. I heard that the salary of a non-commissioned officer is several times that of ours. After we have made meritorious service, wouldn't we be able to buy whatever we want?" "Hey, when I have money, I want to get a taste receptor to install it. I have long wanted to taste the taste of food." Since Datang's regular robots all have wages, in order to legally circulate the money, Datang's commercial department has specially developed many products suitable for robots. Don't underestimate these commodities that are only useful to robots. Among the enterprises under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce, this part of the money is the best to earn. In the past, there were no robot products, and there were many robots whose wages did not require a penny until death, because robots had no concept of money at all, and there was everything in the military camp, and they did not need to use money at all.Now there are a large number of robot goods, and the robot will spend it as soon as it has wages, unless some goods are too expensive and the robot wages are not enough, so he will save money. It can be said that the consumption of robots alone has fed countless people, and it has also played a great role in the development of Datang's economy. "Hey, want to pretend that thing? Wait until you become a lieutenant, don't hang up before fulfilling your wish." "Hmph, hang up if you hang up, follow such a lord, it's worth it for me to sell my program to the lord!" "Yeah, we are the lord's personal belongings. We don't have any complaints about what we do, but the lord treats us like real soldiers. How can this prevent us from handing over the program to the lord? Following such a lord , I think my life is worth it!" "Let's not talk about that, I think all wise people are willing to sacrifice their lives for the lord. Now let's do our job well, and it is very likely that we will support the lord later." The conversation between these two intelligent robots is said by the robot's unique talking program, so other intelligent robots can hear them, and they all agree with these contents. Tang Long didn't know at all that his idea of ​​equality allowed him to have a large number of troops who would never betray, were loyal, and had extraordinary abilities. At the beginning, Tang Long paid close attention to the driving route of the Silver Armor Fortress. After seeing that the Silver Armor Fortress was blown by several gusts of flames, nothing happened. Of course, Tang Long will not forget to ask the computer to record the data of this star field and pass it on to the Datang army guarding the gate outside. After all, with these first-hand information, the Datang army can pass through this star field slowly and safely. On the other side, King Bit originally wanted to wait for Datang to attack first, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from the Datang army. Impatient with waiting, he immediately ordered the whole army to break out. In an instant, Kaiwu Kingdom's 3 million X-ships, with their engines fully turned on, formed a concave shape and rushed towards the Datang Army densely. The Datang Army did not let the nearly four million warships of the dependent countries take the lead, but let them hide in the rear and fire as a cover attack. Seeing that the enemy troops were dispatched, as the 200,000 beluga warships in the front row, they immediately spit out several orbiting satellites, and then rushed towards the enemy without fear with the satellites. And the hundreds of thousands of high-level transport ships and thousands of mecha motherships that lined up in the middle line surrounded by 500,000 to 600,000 X-ships also poured out the objects in their bodies in the first time, and nearly 100 million pieces of weapons Satellites and millions of fierce shadow mechas rushed towards the enemy line like a swarm of bees. The high-level transport ships that had completed the transportation task immediately turned around and sailed to the rear, while the four million high-level warships that received the order immediately entered the center line to take over the escort mission of the X-ship. As for the 500,000 to 600,000 X-ships, they followed closely behind the bee swarm. The fighter jets of the X-ships had not yet reached the time to be released. Such fighters could only be effective if they entered the enemy's battleship group. Kai Wujun, who thought he could beat the Datang army into a daze with the first blow, was surprised to find that from the screen, the front troops seemed to have hit a wall, and the irregular forward troops had become neat together. The attack of the Datang Army was like an invisible wall, and wiped out all the warships of the Kaiwu Army that were showing off. "Did you find the Silver Armor Fortress?" Bit, who was asking his subordinates about the location of the mortal enemy, suddenly noticed this strange phenomenon on the screen, and couldn't help shouting in surprise: "Damn it! How could this happen? Weren't those beluga warships of Datang stopped by us? Those five With more than 100,000 X battleships, how could it be possible to block our first round of attack?!" "Your Majesty, according to our computer records, there are hundreds of millions of small mobile satellites, forming a position, and what is displayed on the screen is the situation of our army attacking this position." The adjutant said hastily. "Hundreds of millions? Damn it! Datang is really generous. I worked so hard to get a million!" Bit muttered a word, and ordered: "Order, let the fleet of the subordinate country go to attack this position, our troops should not be wasted on this, let me concentrate on attacking Datang's white whale battleship and X battleship!" "Your Majesty, the troops of the subordinate country are guarding the entrance of the Lieyang Starfield. If they are all transferred to the front line, I am afraid that the 500,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty will take the opportunity to pass through and reach the belly of our army." The ammonia officer reminded.Now is a critical moment concerning his own interests, and the adjutant, who usually doesn't work very hard, has begun to exert his strength. "Well, that's right, order them to keep 100,000 troops, send 1 million satellites to guard, and send the rest of the troops to the front line!" Bit doesn't think that his million satellites can be compared with Datang's hundreds of millions of satellites. Since they can't be used on the front line, then they should be sent to guard the passage. A hundred thousand troops plus a million satellites are enough to guard the passage that's it. "Yes, I'm going to deliver the order now." The officials also thought it was very good to do so. Although the performance of the high-end warships of the affiliated countries is poor, they cannot be used for frontal attacks, but they are the best for attacking satellite positions. They can be regarded as waste.
