Chapter 19 Divine Comedy

After the fall of the capital star, which symbolized the new American government, the spiritual symbols of the remnants of other planets of the new United States also collapsed. With the continuous playing of the divine song "Mourning" by the troops of the Xie Lei Chong Alliance, the resistance forces of various planets either announced their surrender or laid down their weapons and no longer fought against the alliance army. . Some of the forces of some planets have not been affected by the divine song and are still resisting. But these were only a small part, and soon disappeared under the pressure of the alliance's army.

What makes people laugh and cry is that some of the allied forces that took "Mourning" as a weapon have applied to the army for retiring and return home because they heard these songs. Compared with the new American army, this is just a small part of the coalition army. But this small part shocked the senior military of the alliance. With the further spread of the song, more and more people are applying for discharge. If Ole hadn't announced the end of the war in time, I'm afraid this number would have risen further.

In other countries, while being surprised by the power of the song "Mourning", people began to reflect on how to face it if the enemy used this "weapon" in the war.

As a result, various countries began to select some troops and play "Mourning" to test them. The result is very unsatisfactory. In countries where there are frequent wars, one-fifth of the soldiers of the main fleet are affected by songs, and less than one-tenth of the soldiers of countries that do not often go to war or have never participated in war. That is to say, the relationship between experiencing war is proportional to the impact of the song, and people have also found that the more people have killed, the deeper the impact.

After discussion, research and experimentation, the song "Mourning" immediately became a song that must be played during the conscription of various countries. New recruits must listen to this song during the physical examination to determine whether it will be affected. Veterans who have joined the army for many years, after receiving some psychological guidance and hints, take turns listening to songs to achieve the effect of tempering their will.

In this way, when the senior officials of various countries were distressed about it, Zhao Xiyue's name once again spread throughout the southern universe.

......

Among the member countries of the Xie Lei Chong Alliance, after experiencing the massacre of Yemuse Star, especially after learning that it was the revenge of the forces behind the New United States, they strengthened the defense of the planets and maintained monitoring and communication of the planets at all times to prevent another massacre. In order to enable the attacked planet to transmit information back in the shortest time, countries that have not installed the Tianxun network will immediately apply to Tianxun Group to install the Tianxun network on each planet and major military bases in the shortest time at all costs; and some economically developed The country has even installed Tianxun network in some outposts.

At the same time, in addition to leaving about one-third of their military strength in the occupied New America, other fleets withdrew to their respective countries to prevent sneak attacks from the Dragon Slayer.

The fact that Yemusexing's tragedy was caused by the Dragon Slaughter was not told by all the members of the Union until after the complete occupation of the New American capital Star. Before that, they did not know that there was such a powerful force behind the old power of the new United States. But now, it is too late for them to go back on their word. With the bodies of the president and other senior officials of the new American government found in a secret room deep underground, it can be declared that the New American Federation has disappeared from the universe.

After the end of the war, the kings and generals of these member countries who knew the details were worried every day for fear that the next revenge of the dragon slaughter would appear in their own countries. And it is because of this that they had to unite to prevent the attack of the Dragon Slayer. The alliance, which was supposed to disband after the destruction of the new United States, continues to exist in a strange way.

while Oyle continues to serve as his alliance leader, responsible for managing internal affairs of the alliance and coordinating conflicts among the member states of the alliance.

At the end of May 4258, the army that had just returned to the Kingdom of Maiah after the Battle of New America embarked on a journey again after resting for half a month.

This time, their goal is the adjacent Alta region.

Ole's banner is to suppress the pirates and completely understand the cancer behind the alliance. The object of Maiah's declaration of war actually included five of the six countries of Alta. That is to say, in addition to the Kingdom of Hay, which has been divided by the allies, the Kingdom of Said, the Kingdom of East Alta, the Kingdom of South Alta, the Kingdom of West Alta and Eternal Thailand will be the targets of the Maiah army to conquer.

Whether it is other members of the alliance, the Chutang Empire or the countries in the southwest universe, they are well aware of the purpose of the Kingdom of Maiah.

After the complete demise of the new United States, the eastern part of the Southern Universe, except for the Chutang Empire and the Cologne Chamber of Commerce in the hinterland of the Chutang Empire, left only the Xie Lei Chong Alliance and the Alta region. If the Kingdom of Maiah continues to expand, it can only target the chaotic Alta region.

The three armies set out from the east and south of the Kingdom of Maiah and attacked Yongtai, Western Alta and Said. Among these three countries, only the power of permanent Thailand is more unified, while the other two countries are rampant with pirates. The so-called country does not have a complete government, which is completely controlled by warlords or pirates. In front of Maiah's powerful fleet, these usually fierce pirates are not the opponents of Maiah's main fleet at all, and they collapse quickly. Maiah's army is advancing rapidly at the speed of dozens of planets every day.

The surrounding countries are greedy, but they dare not send fleets. On the one hand, these countries are busy transporting materials and populations from the occupied New American region planet back to their own countries. After all, the occupied areas belong to their planets one by one, and they are not connected. Although they are surrounded by planets occupied by other alliance members, who knows that once the alliance is dissolved, these planets are not easy to control. It is better to bring useful materials, equipment and talents back to China as soon as possible. On the other hand, their army will also be stationed in the country to guard against the mysterious organization Dragon Slaughter and the attack from where it comes from. And they have been dealing with pirates all year round, and they are well aware of the strength of pirates. If a large-scale fleet is sent, there is nothing, but if the troops sent are insufficient, it can't defeat the fierce pirate fleet at all. Therefore, they could only watch Maiah's army put one planet after another and planted Maiah's flag.

Kunlun Star in the southern part of the Alta region.

In recent years, while the Kingdom of Maiah has developed rapidly, the Blackbeard Pirates have not been idle. In addition to training the practical ability of interns graduated from Tadun College, they are also constantly expanding their power. The occupied planet has added more than ten planets on the basis of the original three planets, Shushan, Kunlun and Penglai. However, most of these planets are very backward and can generate limited profits. However, due to the vigorous development of the blue sky, Kunlun Star has become a very prosperous economic planet in the southeast universe. Driven by Kunlun Star, the surrounding planets belonging to the Blackbeard Pirates have also begun to develop rapidly. Although it still seems a little backward, it is much more than other planets in the Alta region. .

Due to economic development, the Kunlun Star Space Port has been expanding. The current scale is close to the capital planet of the Chutang Empire. It has more than 3,000 types of berths, but it still cannot meet the growing demand. The fleet of the Blackbeard Pirates has long chosen to resupply at the Kunlun Star Spaceport and transferred to Penglai Star, but outside the Shushan Star Spaceport, it is still full. In order to wait for an empty berth, it sometimes has to wait for more than ten or twenty hours.

There are a lot of people in the spaceport. Local residents, migrant workers, businessmen, tourists, retired pirates, adventurers, etc. have crowded the spaceport. However, despite the high crowds, it is extremely quiet in the northern area of the spaceport. Passing tourists will always look at this side curiously. When they want to get close to this side, they will be stopped by several big men standing guard. If an inadrigued curiosity intends to go around from the side, but as soon as he enters this area, he will find that countless automatic beam guns hidden in every corner have ejected to accurately point at him.

And the locals know that this is the headquarters of the mysterious pirate group that brings them a better life.

At this time, in the conference room of the Blackbeard Pirates, Xiahou Bubai and other senior officials of the pirate are sitting upright and quietly listening to Hong Tie, the leader of the pirate regiment at the head.

"...On June 2, the second and third fleets of Maiah entered the Kingdom of Said through the former Kingdom of Hayd and fought fiercely with the 40,000 troops of the Said royal family on display at the border. In this service, Saild lost 23,000 warships, and the army was completely dispersed... On June 3, Mayah's fourth and fifth fleets and the second, third and fourth main fleets of Yongtai and local defense forces encountered a total of 48,000 warships. After losing 1,600 warships, Maiah defeated the second in Yongtai. , the Fourth Fleet, the Third Fleet announced its surrender to Mayah... On June 5, Mayah's sixth, seventh and eighth fleets invaded West Alta... The above is the situation during this period.

Xiahou smiled disdainfully: "Maiahe's strength is nothing more than that. Just now, when the regimental commander introduced the situation, I counted that Maiah dispatched a total of seven fleets and a total of 70,000 warships. Their enemies dispatched eleven main fleets, plus local fleets and recruited pirates, a total of 150,000 warships, about twice the number of Maiage. We have been dealing with the pirates of Alta for so many years, and everyone must know what the level of this mob is. 150,000 warships, and they are not all Veyron warships, almost ordinary, all of various types of old and broken ships. On the other hand, Maiah is an elite Wumu-class warship. With such a strong strength, the loss of more than 10,000 ships has exceeded 10,000. The combat effectiveness of the Maiah Kingdom fleet is really disappointing to me.

Hong Tie smiled and said, "Although Maiah uses powerful Wumu-class warships, you know that their shipmen and soldiers have only been recruited in the past two or three years, and their training level is very low. In addition, most of the fleets have never participated in actual combat, such a loss Xin Ole is still very satisfied.

Everyone discussed the strength of Maiah's fleet for a while, and after Xiahou's invincible explanation of these three battles, someone asked, "Commourer, is it to call us this time to discuss these three battles?"

"Of course not."

Hong Tie's expression began to become serious: "According to my inference, the Kingdom of Maiah can occupy the whole Alta region in five months, which may not take such a long time. These days, according to the information transmitted from various regions, the vast majority of pirate groups are desperate for the arrival of the army. The leaders of these pirate groups have begun to consider their own way out. A small number of pirate groups are directly disbanded, either returning to their hometowns to do business, or choose to smuggle to other countries; and The other part intends to surrender directly to the Kingdom of Mayah. Maybe they can become the regular army of Mayah like the Third Fleet that surrendered forever; and the vast majority of the rest are still waiting.

Speaking of this, Hong Tie's eyes swept over everyone: "That's the purpose of summoning everyone this time. From the day before yesterday to now, thirteen pirate groups have come to me, hoping to merge into our Blackbeard pirate group.

Xiahou was surprised and said, "What? Is there still a pirate group asking to merge with us? Don't they know that our Blackbeard pirate group never accepts other pirates?

Indeed, although the Blackbeard Pirates are nominally a pirate group, the origin of its members is relatively simple. Except for some of the veterans recruited by Hong Tie from the Chu and Tang Empire at the beginning of its establishment, almost all the students graduated from Ta Dun College. Except for members who are particularly talented and do not have many pirate vices, they never accept pirates from other sources. It was not without a pirate group surrendered to them, but the final result was that the surrendered warships were pulled back to the Maiah shipyard, and the surrendered pirates were subjected to hard work on the newly occupied planet. Since then, most of the pirates who fought with the Blackbeard pirate group and were defeated have chosen to disband or escape far away. Except as a last resort, no pirate group has surrendered to them.

Hong Tie sighed: "That said, but this time I hope to be incorporated into our pirate group. And most of them are still our 'old friends'.

When talking about the three words "old friend", Hong Tie aggravated his tone.

Xiahou Bubai was slightly stunned and turned to laugh, "Isn't it a Baroque pirate group?"

Hong Tie laughed and said, "Not only the Baroque guy, but also Drake, Cortrina, Eric, Shi Xiu..."

"Drink, they are all our old friends." Everyone laughed when they heard these names.

Indeed, these are all famous warlords and pirate regiments near the Blackbeard Pirates in West Alta and South Alta. They are very powerful and have had a large-scale battle with the Blackbeard Pirates, and even fought briefly alliances to block the Blackbeard Pirates. However, under the excellent command of Xiahou and everyone's hard work, he finally dispersed and never dared to clash with the Blackbeard Pirates. Even if he sometimes met in space, he would quickly hide far away.

They have been frighted by Hong Tie.

Hearing these names, Xiahou Bubai gradually became more serious: "These pirate groups are all hegemons on the vertical and horizontal side. If they want to merge with us this time, it seems that they are not willing to be destroyed by Maiah's army."

Hong Tie nodded and said, "That's right. They all know that our Blackbeard pirate group has a close relationship with the Kingdom of Maiah. Even if Maiah destroys all the pirate groups, he will not touch us, so they chose to merge with us. Now, what we need to discuss is whether to accept their request for merger?

In the conference room, there was silence.

The people present are not fools, but those who have risen in successive battles over the years. Some of them are former Chu and Tang officers, some of which have surrendered from other pirate groups, and several young people are excellent students who graduated from Ta Dun College and have been unconventionally promoted to leaders by Hong Tie.

Everyone knew very well that the leaders of these pirate groups were ambitious, but they were unwilling to die, so they chose to merge into the Blackbeard pirate group. Let's not talk about whether they will take the opportunity to seize power, seize the Blackbeard pirate or occupy the economically developed Kunlun Star. In dealing with pirates over the years, everyone knows what kind of people these pirates are. Maybe some of them have to join the pirate group, but most of them have already integrated into the pirate group, killing, **, * and so on.

This is why he did not accept the surrender of pirates before. What Hong Tie was most worried about was that those pirates with bad habits would transmit their bad habits to the rest of the pirate group. Under the strict management of Hong Tie, the Blackbeard Pirates came completely in accordance with the standards of the main fleet of Chu and Tang. Rather than a pirate gang, they are more like a self-disciplined regular army.

After thinking for a little, Xiahou said, "I don't agree. As we have considered before, these pirates will inevitably bring them in when they join us. Maybe those veterans can stick to their beliefs and not be eroded by them. But you should know that more than half of our fleet are graduates from Ta Dun College, and a large number of students come to the fleet for internship every year. These children are still young. If they are not firm enough, they will inevitably be influenced by them.

Hong Tie said, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. But you know, their merger does not bring millions of pirates, including more than 100,000 warships and more than 200 planets. And these planets are bordered by our power zone.

"That's it..." Xiahou was invincible and suddenly realized why Hong Tie was hesitant. If there are some of these planets and warships, the strength of the Blackbeard Pirates will expand several times. Soon, the whole Alta region, except for them, will become the sphere of influence of Maiah. Without pirates, they will lose their meaning of existence. After all, the Blackbeard Pirates Group was established to train talents for the Tadun Academy. Without the battle, it will be meaningless for them to exist.

Xiahou thought for a moment and looked at Hong Railway: "I suggest that you accept them all. With the propulsion speed of the Maiah fleet, the whole Alta will be occupied in at most half a year. It's time for us to return to Berwick. Therefore, we can't think about it from the perspective of the pirate now, but from Berwick's perspective. What Berwick lacks the most now is skilled shipmen and veterans. In this way, we should not only agree to the request for the merger of the thirteen pirate groups, but also launch attacks on other pirate groups around us to collect as many warships and personnel as possible. At that time, personnel and warships can be sent to Berwick as our gifts, and it's none of our business how they want to deal with it. As for the planet, it can be sold to the Kingdom of Maiah. I believe that with the wisdom of Ole, I will definitely give a reasonable price.

When he said this, everyone immediately understood his meaning.

Hong Tie pondered a little and said with a smile, "Brother Xiahou still understands it. Well, let's decide. Is there anything wrong with others?

Everyone shook their heads one after another, and Hong Tie nodded and said, "In this case, let's do it." Let's have a good rest today. Tomorrow morning, I will take half of the people to accept their merger request. The remaining half were taken by Xiahou and went to other pirate groups for a walk. Remember our purpose this time and disband!"
