Chapter 513: Prestige Strategy
Gu Hang personally came to the Menghe star field on the alliance ship.
Of course, his movements were also sensed by the Iron Fury Stone.
Humphrey Paul's reaction was quite big.
He personally summoned the alliance ambassador, a lady named Wu Yang.
As a Space Marine and Chapter Master of the Iron Legion, Paul's physique is certainly not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Sitting on the throne on the bridge of the battleship, Wu Yang looked up and felt like he was looking at a god.
There are many places where Space Marines are referred to as demigods, and this is not nonsense.
"Gu Hang has personally led the fleet into Menghe. You have already made the decision to become my enemy, right?"
Paul's voice was not loud, nor was it harsh; certainly not frivolous, just plain and ordinary.
But despite this, Wu Yang, the alliance ambassador standing below, was still very nervous under the strong sense of oppression, even though he had already prepared himself mentally.
It has been several months since she came to the Royal Star Region.
In fact, when the Fury Chapter was driven out of the Dragonhawk Star Region, the Alliance had already sent ambassadors to the Iron Armor Chapter.
'Adhere to the principle that both parties are representatives of the empire's local forces and maintain exchanges between the two sides.'
In fact, the Iron Armored Corps also had an envoy on the Flying Wing Star. The previous handwritten letter from Humphrey Paul was directly handed to Gu Hang by Ambassador Iron Armor.
Later, after the Ironclad Legion officially raised the flag of rebellion, the ambassadors of both sides did not actually withdraw.
Arguing with the other party's officials, being used as a punching bag, and accusing each other of being traitors to the empire... this is the open job.
Of course, if that was the only reason, it would not be worth sending ambassadors to each other. It didn't matter to Iron Armor, but for the Alliance, it was politically risky.
If there is no use, the alliance will definitely not do this.
In fact, the ambassadors sent by both sides to each other do play the role of conveying each other's voices and determining each other's positions and attitudes.
Wu Yang, a very experienced diplomat in the Alliance Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was sent to undertake this task which was of certain importance but especially more dangerous.
When the two sides fall out, who knows if they will kill each other's ambassadors to vent their anger?
But despite this, Wu Yang still had to put on a tough enough attitude.
She said: "The Alliance is a member of the Empire. We will not tolerate traitors to the Empire and will definitely take action. Now the action has just begun."
You still have to show your attitude.
But the truth still needs to be said:
"In the future, the Alliance will definitely enter the Spider Web Universe and execute the Empire's orders, but not now. At present, and for a long time in the future, the Alliance's goal will remain in the Eastern Universe, in the Menghe Star Region."
At this point, Wu Yang added: "This is the empire's requirement."
The subtext is also very clear: the alliance does not want to fight a big war now.
Entering the Menghe star field, on the one hand, is to push the alliance's defense line forward to prevent being attacked into its core area once a war breaks out in the future; on the other hand, it is to complete the empire's orders.
This is because they don't want the Iron Armor Legion to misjudge this and think that the Alliance is going to attack them, and thus take some drastic action.
Of course, if Tiekai insists on responding in this way, then the Alliance will have no choice but to fight in the Menghe Star Region.
The Alliance is indeed not ready for war and does not wish to fight.
but……
Is Tiekai ready for this?
Humphrey Paul had gotten the answer he wanted.
He had no interest in chatting with Wu Yang, an "ambassador", and waved his hand to send her away.
After Wu Yang left, Paul sat alone on his throne, silent.
It was not until a long time later that he let out a deep sigh.
…
Gu Hang also let out a sigh.
His sigh had nothing to do with the Iron Armor Regiment.
The Alliance ambassador had already sent back the details of Wu Yang's meeting with Paul, including the follow-up, her constant verbal battles with the officials of Tiekai, and the other party's constant threats to go south and destroy the Alliance, just as Tiekai destroyed the imperial forces in countless worlds.
But in fact, according to Gu Hang, he didn't think Tie Kai would go south.
Not guaranteed, but it's highly likely.
Gu Hang roughly calculated the strength of the Iron Armor Corps. If they want to continue to maintain their current invincible momentum, they will not be able to open a third front.
Especially considering that the alliance is a tough nut to crack.
If their myth of being invincible in the past year is broken, it will be a very, very bad situation. If many worlds no longer believe that the Iron Armored Corps is completely invincible and start to try to resist more, then the Iron Armored Corps will be in big trouble.
That would greatly increase the cost of their conquest, and there would no longer be so many worlds that would choose to surrender without any resistance.
To put it bluntly, is Iron Armor's base much stronger than the Alliance's? The Alliance's base is the Dragon Eagle Star Region, and Iron Armor only has the Princess Star Region? The difference is nothing more than the time they have controlled the entire star region, which is a little longer than the time the Alliance has controlled the Dragon Eagle Star Region.
If you want to swallow up the entire universe, or even turn the war into a wave, you absolutely cannot conquer the worlds one by one. Who can withstand it?
How did Sola Keim's solar expedition conquer tens of thousands of worlds? It was definitely impossible to conquer worlds one by one. The battle of the Sun Lord was also a key battle, to gain a reputation, and then to attract dozens or hundreds of surrounding worlds to send a message and surrender directly.
When this kind of reputation grows, the battle will go more smoothly. Often when the fleet arrives at a place, the world will surrender. Sometimes, even without the need for an army, just a lone envoy can make an entire star zone and ten worlds surrender.
This is the main method of conquering three worlds in two days and tens of thousands of worlds through decades of expedition.
Reputation.
If you have the real invincible power to sweep away everything, then there is no need to say more and no need to rack your brains.
But generally speaking, no. Even in the early days of the Sun Crusade, when the Sun Lord Sola Kem had not yet fully established his reputation and had not yet gained the full support of the Empire through his reputation, his means of warfare had to be sufficiently "smart" and he had to win enough victories before he could have the chance to do what came next.
And now, Gu Hang could see that Tie Kai was going to copy this approach.
Of course, they are still in the early stages, still in the stage of building up their reputation, and so far have only achieved initial results, with several key hurdles to overcome.
