From a very close distance, you can see how amazing the muzzle of the "Red Lotus Banquet" is. The muzzle with a diameter of six kilometers lies across a wide open space, surrounded by tens of thousands of mirrors, tens of thousands of windmills, and tens of thousands of special pumps to collect light, wind, and geothermal energy in nature. It seems that the Republic was aware of its lack of energy at the beginning of the construction of its defense system. With the "Red Lotus Banquet", even if only natural energy is available, the capital can still be easily maintained.

"..." Wu Qiao knew that the next moment was the key to the entire battle.

He would definitely be very excited when he was replaced by the previous one, his chest was violently ups and downs, and even his fingertips were numb with blood. However, at this moment, his heart is quite calm, as if for him, this is just one of the many things that need to be dealt with.

Wu Qiao tuned out the strongest weapon of Ya Jiu, the anti-matter weapon, and his brain waves had instantly locked onto the most vulnerable part of the muzzle that Ji Yao had analyzed before. He confirmed the target for the second time and gave a high-level command to Ya Jiu: "Yao Jiu, blast it away!"

"Okay!" Ya Jiu said, "you grinning little fairy!"

"..." Wu Qiao asked, "What have you been watching recently?!" Wu Qiao basically doesn't play in battle now, so Ya Jiu is much more idle than before, and he watches a lot more movies. He broadcasts dozens of episodes every day.

"Ang," Ya Jiu temporarily switched back to its original appearance, and answered honestly, "A costume play..."

"……what is that?"

"It's a costume drama... a drama around 2000 AD in the Western calendar..."

"..." Wu Qiao sighed, ignored Ya Jiu, and concentrated again.

The antimatter weapon blatantly attacked, and the container containing the antimatter burst when it hit the muzzle of the "Red Lotus Banquet". The hard material of the muzzle was instantly annihilated, the deep hole swallowed everything, and the void quickly spread out, and the area of ​​the hole Growing bigger and bigger seems to ironically prove that all civilizations that mankind is proud of are vulnerable before the power of the universe. Subsequently, as the antimatter was finally depleted, the increase in destruction slowly stopped. The "Red Lotus Banquet" still stood majestically in place, but the ugly scars had caused it to lose its original power.

After confirming the hit, Wu Qiao instantly switched weapons, preparing to explode the several mechas rushing over one by one!

In order to ensure that the "Red Lotus Banquet" was defeated, he ignored the mechas that had discovered him, and instead used dodge to dodge the attack from the opponent, and at the same time let the Jay Jiu use its strongest weapon during the intermission. This place is close to the "Red Lotus Banquet", so Wu Qiao encountered more enemies than before.

He used a Z-shaped jitter to make the two mechas rushing forward on the same shooting path, and outrageously fired a live ammunition. The mecha flying in front was impacted and flew back several meters, just hitting the teammate behind it. Wu Qiao ordered Yajiu to pull out the laser sword and pierce it with a single sword, piercing the two mechas into a string! Then Wu Qiao increased his energy, and the brightness of the laser skyrocketed, and the light instantly enveloped the two mechas! After confirming that the mecha target had been destroyed, Wu Qiao recovered the laser sword. The light beam disappeared instantly, and the two mechas fell on the ground with a "bang", stirring up smoke and dust on the ground. Then, Wu Qiao rushed out of the smoke and dust unexpectedly. With the sound of two cannons, the charged electromagnetic cannon smashed the third and fourth mechas in the blink of an eye. In the end, Wu Qiao flew up into the sky, and when he passed the last mecha, he replaced the alloy knife, swiped it twice, and directly cut the last one into three pieces!

The whole process only took fifteen seconds. Ya Jiu continued to say "Don't move, I can't guarantee what will happen if you move it again", and the five pilots fell under the attack of Ya Jiu before they had time to do anything.

Wu Qiao then turned around and got into the pipe again!

The way back is not the same as the way back.

The abandoned underground pipelines are intricate, and Ji Yao designed a very hidden return route for him. After the "Red Lotus Banquet" is blown up, the Republic will definitely increase its alertness, and it is very likely that Wu Qiao used the pipeline. Therefore, Ji Yao avoided all the easy-to-think escape routes, but used some complicated combinations to help Wu Qiao avoid possible tracking.

Even at this time, the speed of Crow Nine is still the top in the galaxy.

In the past few years, Ya Jiu has also undergone several upgrades. Wu Qiao has become accustomed to the advantage of speed, so every time I upgrade, Wu Qiao mainly focuses on acceleration.

On the way back, Ya Jiu was still flying across the pipes quickly, although it was afraid of ghosts that it made its mouth click.

"Ajiu..." Wu Qiao said, "What can ghosts do to you?"

"No, I don't know... But the self-control I'm so proud of has become vulnerable!"

"...Then you go out quickly."

Finally, when Ya Jiu rushed out of the last pipe, he couldn't help but let out a roar with excitement, "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

As soon as Wu Qiao returned to the battleship that met him, he timely received a call request from Tan Yan.

"Tan Yan?" Wu Qiao smiled, "Why do you count time so well?"

"I don't know you yet?"

Wu Qiao thought for a while, but still didn't believe it: "It's impossible...I can't figure out when I will arrive..."

Tan Yan smiled a little bit awkwardly: "You don't know, but I can figure it out. For example, every time you don't know when you will shoot, I can probably estimate that you are here. Which step."

"……To shut up."

"……Oh."

"Tan Yan," Wu Qiao sighed, "I finally cleared the obstacles for you. Finally, you don't have to tie your hands and feet."

"Ok."

"Is there anything else I need to do?"

"No, I'll be fine when I come back." Tan Yan replied.

"Then...I will leave it to you."

"Yes."

...

As expected, Tan Yan never made Wu Qiao feel uneasy.

In the past, the Republic had the longest range and most powerful "Red Lotus Banquet" in battle, and the coalition forces dared not advance any further from a place far away from its capital. Now that the "Red Lotus Banquet" has been destroyed, the coalition fleet finally got the opportunity to approach the capital of the Republic.

Tan Yan first ordered the fleet to destroy many satellite guns.

As a result, the defense system of the Republic collapsed by three quarters.

The commander-in-chief was in a coma, the defense system was broken, and the army of the Republic was panicked.

"It's okay." The president seemed confident. "Even if the defense system is only a quarter left, it is still difficult for the coalition to break through."

What he said was correct. In addition to the "Red Lotus Banquet", many weapons in the Republic's defense system are still there. The battle web of light and fire intertwined by those weapons is still not easily smashed. If it is strong, it is like a swarm of flying insects trying to tear the web. Although it may succeed in the end, the price paid must be extremely painful.

However, he was wrong again about the result.

Tan Yan is not strong at all.

He chose to use the pipeline again.

Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the people, Tan Yan ordered the mechas to enter from the weaker peripheral defenses, then followed the pipeline to the ground, and suddenly appeared on the streets and alleys of the capital, using the ground warfare that had long been forgotten. The mechas flew at low altitudes and even walked, advancing street by street. This is slow, but it is an effective way to reduce casualties. With each advancement, the pilots will instead try to destroy the anti-air weapons set there.

When the Republic began to respond to this method, the land of the Republic was full of coalition soldiers.

Half a month later, weapons other than the "Red Lotus Banquet" were also destroyed.

In fact, this was a bit beyond Tan Yan's expectation-he thought it would take several months.

In fact, even on the ground, the Republican army still has an advantage. No matter how many coalition forces are dispersed after passing through the pipeline, it is only a little bit compared with the Republic. However, the two incidents of the commander-in-chief being attacked and the destruction of "Red Lotus Wings" dealt too much to the soldiers of the Republic, causing them to lose their positions for a while. In addition, the mecha light cavalry used to fight on the ground originally belonged to Leila's soldiers. The life or death of Leila was captured, and this incident fueled great fighting spirit among the hussars, and everyone vowed to rescue their "goddess".

The defense system exists in name only.

Someone once again suggested that the president move the capital.

As last time, the president refused.

He was very clear in his heart that what the commander-in-chief said before "we have exhausted our country" and "we have no young people" are all correct. Moving the capital and then fighting again is meaningless, all victory and defeat will be once again in one fell swoop.

When the Tan Yan part began to conquer the border, the President of the Republic personally set off.

The defense system has collapsed, and they can only fight to the death and stop the coalition forces out of the door with flesh and blood.

In fact, the president does not know much about fighting. He just played an inspiring role for the soldiers on the last battleship. The person who actually replaces the commander-in-chief is not the president.

This battle was lost for granted.

The newly appointed commander has some skills in the dispatch and control of his subordinates, and a weak link has appeared in the defensive chain. Tan Yan's eyesight was quick, and he immediately concentrated his forces to overcome that weakness, and soon opened up the situation.

-The strength of an iron chain always depends on its weakest part.

However, until the end, the last battleship of the Republic, the main ship, did not leave the battlefield.

"..." Tan Yan was not polite.

Many phantoms appeared in Longyuan. When the main ship was hesitant, the real body shelled the opponent's battleship. The battleship immediately fell apart and fell into pieces. Like Crow Jiu, Longyuan also has a powerful weapon, but due to objective factors, it can only be used once per battle.

"..." Tan Yan looked at the fragments, and said lightly, "I don't know how to fight, so why bother to die."

——What he didn't know was that this place was the buried place that the President of the Republic chose for himself.

Below the battlefield is the sea, a resort named after the seafood star of the alliance. His home is on an island in the sea, and his second child, his little daughter, is full moon tonight. His daughter likes sounds and bright colors. He told his daughter before that she would listen to the loudest cannons and see the most dazzling light at the full moon. He thought, this place is very close to home, and you can see it when you look up, and his daughter will be very happy. She wouldn't know that her father died in the sound of the cannons and light. Moreover, when he fell into the ocean, he could always save a whole body, better than the treatment after being captured by the coalition forces. His corpse was eaten by fish, and some big fish ate those fish. In the end, maybe one of them will swim to the vicinity of home, bring his soul back there, and take another look—or maybe it is. Two eyes-his wife and two daughters.

He does not regret it.

He did not initiate the war, but he has always been a staunch supporter of war. In his opinion, the green sand discovered by Qiu Yanting only exists in neighboring countries, which is too dangerous. If in the future they can only rely on other countries to obtain resources, the people of the Republic will gradually lose their independence and freedom. He thought that the bet was big enough to be worth a gamble, but in the end he lost the bet.

...

After this battle, the results of the Hundred Years' War are already clear at a glance.

The Republic is really powerless.

Wu Qiao and Jing Ran issued a joint declaration urging the Republic to surrender unconditionally as soon as possible.

Regarding this declaration, the Congress of the Republic adopted a noncommittal attitude.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs urgently contacted the minister of the country that had previously “lent” the space jump point to the coalition forces, hoping to reconcile the two countries as one country in the past, and persuade the alliance and neutral countries to relax their conditions and agree to the republic. Several conditions put forward. In his view, that country has a good relationship with allies and neutral countries, and it also played a very important role in the war. By providing a space jump point not far from the capital of the Republic, it saved the pain of the coalition from traveling long distances, as long as it was willing to speak. , It may not be impossible to get the effect you want. Although he gritted his teeth with hatred of the other party's "betrayal", the situation will not get worse anyway, it doesn't hurt to give it a try, what if that country agrees?

No one opposes this approach of the Foreign Minister-everyone in Congress thinks that one day can be delayed.

As a result, that country seemed to be very afraid that Wu Qiao would mistakenly believe that he and the Republic were in a gang, and said indifferently that he and the Republic were in a state of war, and would not go beyond any request made by the other two countries to agree to the Republic.

With a stab in the back, the Minister of Foreign Affairs was a little confused.

"A traitor is a traitor!" He was so angry that he even vomited blood. "It's better to have a dog!"

On January 15, 2272 of the Galaxy Calendar, Wu Qiao and Jing Ran issued an ultimatum, which clearly stated that if the Republic does not promise to surrender, the coalition forces will violently occupy the government.

The Congress of the Republic ushered in a long discussion.

The congressmen started at nine o'clock in the morning and did not leave until four o'clock in the morning, arguing for nineteen hours. However, for the participants, time passed by like flying.

The people present were divided into two distinct factions: the main surrender and the main battle. One faction can't bear to see the country suffer more casualties and more serious damage, and advocates immediate surrender. The other faction, on the other hand, is expecting to dig out another genius who is not born, lead all the remaining troops to fight to the death, and after a big victory, negotiate with the other party with a more capitalized position than it is now. Their mood is easy to understand, because once they agree to unconditionally surrender, they themselves will face trial. Although they did not initiate the war, in the years when they were members of Parliament, they also passed countless documents that made the swamp under the devil grow larger and deeper. Many of them are inhumane and even exterminate. . Being able to negotiate terms with the other party means that they can write the light sentence into the agreement. This is actually their last straw and the last gold medal to avoid death.

A total of five rounds of voting were held during the meeting, all of which were invalidated. The law of the Republic stipulates that for such a major decision, more than two-thirds of the parliamentarians must approve it to take effect. In the five rounds of voting, the two sides were evenly matched, and the total number of votes was almost half to half.

Nineteen hours of discussions did not receive any progress.

The next day, on January 16, 2272, Congress continued for the whole morning, and still no results.

However, in the afternoon, the plot speeded up suddenly.

There is intelligence that if the Republic wants to fight again, the coalition forces will use new weapons that can destroy the entire capital star. Most people think that the news is definitely not true, but there are some people who believe this statement.

In the afternoon of the same day, in the sixth ballot, the number of votes cast by the main surrender finally exceeded two-thirds of the total.

This decision shows that the Congress has formally passed a resolution of unconditional surrender. As long as the acting president signs, it will be announced to the world. The acting president will never veto the decision of Congress.

After the results of the voting were displayed on the screen, someone in the conference room immediately cried. They know that the green "pass" character represents that the day of judgment is coming soon. And they, as "sinners" who bear countless lives, are bound to die.

Gradually, more and more people were crying, and some people connected with family or friends, hoping to gain some strength from each other.

Most people did not shed tears, but comforted their out-of-control colleagues. They patted each other's back lightly, and kept saying: "It's okay, it's okay, you are not alone, we will all be with you."

On this day, the goodness of human nature, the evil of human nature, the strong human nature, and the weak human nature are fully reflected in this conference room of less than 30 square meters.
