Him and their stars.

Chapter 1983: Entering the Star Gate
Before Yu Lian opened his mouth to persuade him, Major General Walter Lar continued, "After all, I am just a diplomat. You don't think that an old, mediocre person like me can do any decent work on the ship, do you?"

"Back in the Ring of Miracles, you served as the chief of staff of Commander Sayo and inflicted heavy casualties on the Empire. The subsequent defeat was due to a problem of troop strength, not the fault of the war."

Major General Lar said, "You are too kind. In the final analysis, I am only using your 'Theory of Universal Defense' to build a defense line on the Ring of Miracles. I am just a fairly qualified executor."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Before I became a diplomatic attaché, I was also a member of the Marine Corps, so planning land battles is a bit of a professional match. But as for the work on a warship, hahahaha, any soldier lining up there is much better than me."

Yu Lian did not speak immediately, but just turned his gaze again to the soldiers who were still lined up.

With his eyesight, he could see clearly that 90% of the people there were young people under the age of 30, mostly soldiers and non-commissioned officers. Even civilians like Mota, who theoretically had no military position, were now playing the role of officers.

Thinking of this, he observed a little more and saw several familiar faces. They were indeed the members of the International Students Association. He remembered that Tan Jize had introduced them to him at the celebration party after the God of War Festival, but he could no longer remember their names.

...Having said that, you are enjoying the treatment of prisoners of war instead of being shot directly as spies. The imperial devils are really very martial when treating their human "fellows"!
In this way, there are indeed some people who are steadfast and want to continue fighting to the end, but there must be more people who are ready to be submissive citizens. This is actually very reasonable.

It turns out that we cannot underestimate the united front capabilities of "human supremacism"!
Yu Lian said: "Objectively speaking, I was the one who abandoned them."

General Lal said: "But objectively speaking, I rejected you on behalf of those who stayed. We have fulfilled our duties for the community and have no more obligations to this war."

His meaning was very clear. If he got on board, it would be the former, and if he stayed, it would be the latter.

"As you can see, life in the No. 1 prisoner-of-war camp is not difficult. I can continue to lead everyone in production and operation, build towns, compete with the empire's regulatory departments, and exchange what we have with other prisoner-of-war camps." General Lar changed his address for the first time: "Brother Yu Lian, I am a diplomat, and my side job is intelligence. I will not be a good soldier. But who knows, maybe I will be a good mayor of a prisoner-of-war camp?"

What General Watt Lall wanted to say was that the contribution he could make by staying would be much greater than if he boarded the ship.

Yu Lian was not going to persuade him anymore. He had already felt the painstaking efforts and determination of his old boss, and even had to admit that what the latter said made a lot of sense. So, all the words in his heart finally turned into a blessing of "May everything go well for you".

"You too. General, I can no longer see the future of the community, but your achievements will last forever."

By 12 p.m. standard time on December 27, all 10 soldiers had boarded the ship and returned to base.

Most of them were marines from the Ring of Miracles, but at least a quarter of them had a background as technicians, and with a little training they could be assigned to various departments of the warship. The rest could also learn from scratch, and even those who had no comprehension lacked the courage to charge into battle in a mecha.

In addition, everyone even had time to load more than 100,000 tons of supplies onto the ship.

Even so, the time that the Silence spent at Ironside was much shorter than planned.

Just like that, with the imperial guards and prisoner representatives in iron shackles happily gathered together to bid farewell, the Silence turned towards the direction of the Gaixian star zone at a leisurely pace, and immediately entered the jump orbit and formed a line.

The Imperial commander of the Ironclad Space Station didn't let out a sigh of relief until the line formed by the Silence completely disappeared into the horizon.

He really couldn't believe that the evil dragon, whose name couldn't even be mentioned, actually let him go.

Not only him, all the guards at Iron Shackles were also unharmed - of course, this was probably because each of the guards knew the situation and did not dare to act rashly.

He immediately thought of the person he should thank, and held the latter's hands with tears in his eyes: "Thank you very much, General, thank you very much. We all know that the reason we can save our lives is because of your kind words. You are a truly noble gentleman! A model of martial virtues!"

"The main thanks should go to Commander Yu. As a frontline commander, he and his men showed sufficient restraint."

"Yes, that person even has a name... uh, that person, that person is the embodiment of martial virtue, the incarnation of the god of war, and the synonym of glory and nobility! We all thank him, and hope that the spirit of the universe can bless him with eternal health." The imperial guard was chanting a prayer: "From now on, let's discuss the management of prisoners of war on the entire planet."

Major General Lar did not comment: "These are troubled times, Lieutenant Colonel. We are all ordinary people. If we want to live in a peaceful era and protect our idyllic daily life, we need to cooperate sincerely." "That's natural." He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "Except for No. 1, we will also pay attention to the management methods of other places. Everything is for a peaceful daily life. What do you think?" They quickly reached a consensus on how to fool... no, how to explain the situation to the imperial fleet that was about to arrive. In short, they had to tell the truth, and tell part of the truth.

As for King Sleen's movements, everyone tacitly ignored this topic.

In short, after Yu Lian's trip to the Iron Shackles, the future atmosphere of this prison planet will probably be more harmonious, right? Even if only this point is achieved, the Silence's trip is quite smooth.

The Enlightener battleship sailed towards the Gaixian star region for two hours, then turned "southward" again, passed through the channel between the two imperial reinforcements before they arrived, and then accelerated straight towards the Gate of Glory.

Because it is possible to obtain real-time information directly from the Imperial military's navigation management log, the movements of the Imperial fleet are almost one-way transparent.

Now, although it was sailing in the heart of the empire, the Silence was almost too lazy to even activate the "Mirage" system.

The "new recruits" who had just returned to the ship, with the help of the veterans, began their enthusiastic training - to put it bluntly, they had to familiarize themselves with the performance and equipment of the Silence.

You may not understand the power of these terrifying black technologies of the previous civilization, but you must be familiar with their performance.

The emotions of the "newcomers" fluctuated from being shocked to doubting their lives, to being proud to being ecstatic, and the entire ship suddenly became full of enthusiasm as if a large-scale military training had begun.

In addition to the thousands of oversized cargo boxes temporarily stacked in the hangar of the Silence, there were also two cruise ship-class boats. Of course, this did not put too much pressure on the cabin space of the Enlightened Battleship.

In fact, the chubby Bifang robots have even started to hop onto the two cruise ships and proactively began a full range of inspection, repair and maintenance work.

The maintenance team was very interested in the "Zhi Ling Ji Yuan". They all felt that many of the ship's features had surpassed existing mainstream technology. Of course, with the example of the Silence, everyone's surprise was limited.

Dr. Eddington simply felt that, compared to the incomprehensible black technology on the Silence, the Spirit's small engine with extraordinary endurance and its amazing optical camouflage system might be more likely to be replicated successfully.

"We are actually already doing it," said Miss Nell.

"You, you guys? Are you talking about the Human Union? The Red Star Institute?"

"Hahaha, all of them. If you want to know, why not join us? Doctor, I think you and us are destined to be together." Miss Neil began to recruit people on the ship. She told Yu Lian that their Engineers Guild would not accept everyone. There were nearly 40,000 people on this ship, but the only ones who were destined to be with the Guild and the Brotherhood of Omnics were probably Dr. Eddington and William Banner.

Very good, this also fits with Yu Lian’s understanding of the Engineers Guild.

However, Mota, the big black fat guy, is already a cyborg, but he doesn't have the qualifications? I wonder if he will cry.

In short, the Silence, which was advancing towards the Gate of Glory, was sailing at high speed and dodging with precision, but the atmosphere was relaxed, so relaxed that one was almost eating hot pot and singing songs.

King Slane, who was a "guest" on the ship, was not used to this. This was a war, it was too frivolous, and it was too insulting to the imperial soldiers of the entire star region.

She found Yu Lian, and it seemed that she was planning to become a qualified candidate for the emperor again.

"You, even if you are a famous general of our time, even if your ship is the legacy of the Enlightened One, you can never capture the Gate of Glory with just one ship! Even if you mobilize all the fleets through continuous surprise attacks, the defenders of the Ring of Miracles still number more than 300,000. In addition, the stationed fleet will never act rashly unless they receive a direct order from the Privy Council!"

"Oh." Yu Lian nodded to express his gratitude. What she said was similar to what he knew.

The young King Sleen was furious, but after taking a deep breath, he said, "You are just trying to hit a rock with an egg. You should choose a smart approach. In this world, only the Galactic Empire can truly live up to your talents and achievements! With all due respect, sir, the Blue Star Community no longer exists. Although your current actions are brave, they will not help you in the future."
