Jinchu thought about it for a while, but still couldn't understand: "I still don't understand why they do this?"
Ye Ruisheng pulled him to sit next to him and took off the backpack containing Guoguo from his back. "Listen to me slowly. To put it simply, Duoya Anlilun came forward as an administrative officer. Her administrative level is higher than mine. Under reasonable circumstances, I couldn't deny her face, and then she used fake documents to delay me.
If I believe the document is genuine, then they have time to do what they need to do. If I doubt its authenticity and need time to verify it, they can still buy a few days. If I refuse to allow them to land regardless of whether the document is true or not, then those warships would probably open fire directly on our camp.
Jin Chu was shocked, but still didn't understand: "So what exactly do they want to do?"
Ye Ruisheng opened his backpack and reached in to touch the smooth skin of the fruit. It playfully jumped up and nudged him twice. He said calmly, "They want this planet W1. Right now, our troops are the only sizable garrison on this planet. As long as they get their troops there and are stronger than us, they'll have the final say here."
"So barbaric? Aren't you the Governor?"
"Yes, but I'm only the Governor of Belfield. I don't have clear authority over the two W planets." Ye Ruisheng gave him a detailed analysis. "If I were capable enough, others wouldn't come and snatch them from under my nose. Similarly, if others think they're stronger than me, they won't just watch me take advantage of these two planets."
Jinchu frowned and thought for a moment: "Are they better than you?"
Ye Ruisheng smiled and said, "Do you know how many people there are in the Seventh Army?"
"I think they mentioned this in class," Jinchu recalled. "It seems like more than two million people."
"To be precise, it's 2.03 million. The standard for a group army is 2 million. Back when we were the 75th Corps, we only had less than 1.5 million people. Our strength in all aspects had already reached the assessment standards for a group army, but there was a huge gap in numbers. So, in the past two years, we put a lot of effort just to recruit soldiers." Ye Ruisheng said, "But do you know how many people are in the other six major group armies?"
Jin Chu shook his head blankly.
"Just pick one of them, and they're more than ten times our number."
"so much?"
"Well, they have a large number of people and equipment, but they also have a lot of internal friction. There are probably seven or eight factions in one group army. In addition, the quality of the soldiers varies greatly, so the elite forces only account for a small part.
Most of our army groups are elite troops, which is one of the reasons why we can barely compete with them.
But numbers are always a disadvantage. This time, I took over as Governor, bringing only two-thirds of the troops. Excluding those stationed in Belfield, there are only a few hundred thousand people assigned to Planet W1. This is why the First Army dared to seize Planet W1 despite having such an easily debunked document."
This is an insult to him.
He guessed that the military strength of those warships was over 100,000. If they couldn't fool him, they would start fighting in an instant. But if they could delay him, it would naturally be best to delay it for a few days. After all, they also needed to familiarize themselves with the environment of W1 star first, set up a camp or something, and wait for the large force behind to arrive before taking action. The chances of winning would be greater and the losses would be smaller.
Jin Chu found it incredible: "So whoever has the stronger fist can monopolize this planet? How is it like wild animals fighting for territory? Don't you humans have the most rules? Is there no one to supervise you?"
"The empire has been in disarray for a long time. Whoever controls the army carries weight. On the surface, everyone seems reasonable and well-behaved, but when the interests involved are large enough, there's nothing they won't do."
Ye Ruisheng sighed slightly: "In a situation like this, even if I get beaten, it's useless. If I get driven away, I can only blame myself for being incompetent. No one can do anything about this kind of thing."
"Where's the Parliament? Where's the Emperor?"
"Parliament? They already have people in Parliament. As for His Majesty, the imperial family is now in decline, and the emperor's symbolic significance far outweighs his actual influence. When people need the emperor's edicts to elevate themselves or restrain their opponents, the emperor is exalted. When the emperor is considered a hindrance, no one takes him seriously."
Jinchu opened his mouth wide, looking deceived: "That's not what the book says, and that's not what we teach in class!"
Ye Ruisheng always found his lively expression adorable. He stroked his hair and said, "For the general public, the emperor is still the ruler of the empire, that's right. Most decrees are issued in his name. Receiving the emperor's commendation is the highest honor. Marrying into the royal family is a symbol of status. With His Majesty, the country has a backbone... With all this, are we really going to tell the public that the emperor is just a mascot? That would have thrown the empire into chaos long ago."
Jin Chu felt that his three perspectives had been completely refreshed. The rules and principles that he had learned with great difficulty in the human world were now almost completely overturned.
It is said that we can see the essence through the phenomenon, but there is a huge gap between the phenomenon and the essence, right?
"You humans are such a waste of time and energy, your lifespans are already short, yet you still spend so much time on intrigue. Don't you think it's a pity?" Jin Chu muttered, then suddenly realized, "You see it all clearly, and you still let them do it? Are you really going to take a beating without fighting back?"
Ye Ruisheng looked at him and was about to speak when someone suddenly knocked on the door. Jin Chu quickly stood up and stood beside Ye Ruisheng, standing straight. Ye Ruisheng covered the opening of his backpack and said loudly, "Come in."
"General, the governor and his entourage have landed on the red soil plateau." An officer came in and reported. Ye Ruisheng walked to the table and clicked a few times on the desktop. Then a three-dimensional image of the planet W1 appeared above the table, with longitude and latitude lines, plateaus, basins, oceans, lakes, etc. clearly marked.
The plain where their military camp was located was marked with a red five-pointed star, and the red earth plateau was on the other side of the planet, separated from this side by half the planet.
Ye Ruisheng said to Jinchu, "This is a high ground overlooking the surrounding area. It's easy to defend but difficult to attack, making it a strategically important location. However, there's a big problem. It's covered in red soil and rock, with little vegetation and wildlife. This leads to a scarcity of water and food resources. Forget about building a city here, even using it as a military base would be very inconvenient."
He turned the virtual planet model: "It seems they want to make a quick decision."
"What should we do then?" Jin Chu looked at the officer and asked in a low voice.
Ye Ruisheng said to the man, "Gather all the generals and hold an emergency pre-war meeting."
"yes."
After the man left, Jin Chu repeated in surprise: "Pre-war meeting?"
Ye Ruisheng laughed and said, "What else can we do? Do we really want to passively take the beating? I let them land because the enemy is in the air and we are on the ground, which is very disadvantageous to us. Another thing is that we can't alert the enemy. The main force of the enemy is still behind us."
"But you can't beat them, can't you?"
"Who said I can't beat him? Come with me." Ye Ruisheng took his hand, carried his bag in one hand, walked over, opened a password door, and walked underground along the passage.
Jin Chu was inexplicably excited, as if he was going to a underground palace to search for treasure. "You have a secret weapon? But don't the other side have far more people than you? What secret weapon can close such a huge gap?"
Jin Chu was talking when he suddenly stopped.
After walking through the passage, there was an open area in front. This underground space was extremely large. Jin Chu was also a military academy student. He could tell at a glance that this was built according to the specifications of a mecha training ground, but it was much larger than an ordinary training ground.
In the corner, there is a huge thing, about ten meters tall, covered with a silver-gray cloth. You don’t have to guess to know that it is a mecha.
"Could this be..."
Ye Ruisheng walked over and pulled off the cloth.
A silver mecha appeared in Jinchu's field of vision, with a slender and sharp figure, smooth lines, and a domineering and shining luster. It was like a powerful weapon descending upon the earth. Even though it had not moved at all, it made people feel a terrible murderous aura.
To be honest, it's really scary.
There are two things that Jinchu admires about humans. One is the star network, which creates another world, and the other is the mecha, which wraps up the weak and thin body of humans and makes it dozens or hundreds of times larger and more powerful.
If a human, even an A- or S-rank, were to go to Little Flower Star, any mid-level alien beast would easily defeat him. But if an ordinary human could operate a mecha and sit inside it, the alien beast would definitely flee.
This thing infinitely narrows and even surpasses the natural gap between humans and alien beasts. It is a magical tool tailored for humans to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses!
"...Pili II." Jin Chu finished the second half of the sentence, "Did you get this?"
Ye Ruisheng walked over and touched the mechanical leg of the silver mecha: "Do you recognize it?"
"I've seen it mentioned in many books on mechas. It's a typical example of the AB-type all-purpose mecha. It's said to be the dream of countless pilots and prospective pilots, but there are no detailed specifications." Jin Chu said with a smile, "You want to use it? I heard that an AB-type all-purpose mecha can play a decisive role in the outcome of a war at a critical moment. Is that true?"
This is truly a secret weapon.
"It's not that exaggerated, but it is indeed the case in the next war." Ye Ruisheng said with a smile.
The First Army dared to plot against him in this way, almost openly using force to overwhelm the enemy. In addition to the overwhelming advantage in numbers, the more important reason was that their judgment of his strength was still based on his injury.
The double S-level combat power and mental strength, combined with the improved Thunderbolt II based on Thunderbolt, and with the cover and cooperation of its own team, the power that can be exerted is immeasurable.
Ye Ruisheng never thought that the first time he would draw his sword after his strength recovered would be against fellow imperial soldiers, but since they insisted on provoking him, it would be disrespectful to refuse.
