Him and their stars.

Chapter 569 The Progress of Two Roads

The territory of the Iron Army Federation is very small, and the number of galaxies it controls is only one-third of that of the Blue Star Community.There is no way, the birthplace of the Palladium people is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage.

The advantage is that their parent star and the surrounding galaxies are quite rich in resources. Among the galaxies that have jumped three times from the parent star, they even found a small Gaia planet, which can be described as a unique start.

The disadvantage is that their start may be too unique. Coupled with the special racial form of the Pallarians, they have been excluded a lot in external exchanges, and even have the idea of ​​​​closing the door and living directly. So positive.

By the time they reacted, the spheres of influence of the two poles had blocked all their outward expansion paths.At that time, it was already the late period of the era of great interstellar voyages. Although the Galactic Civilization Council had not been established, the first galactic war launched by the empire and the alliance was drawing to a close.The two hegemonies found that no one could kill the other. Since everyone is human, they should hold their noses and draw up a rule. This is the way of decent people... If other races and civilizations disagree, then join hands and send them off The decency of a trip to the Spirit of the Universe to serve the truth is.

Of course, the Pallarians didn't want to be honored, so they had no choice but to participate in the Galactic Civilization Conference led by the Empire and the Alliance.The basic boundaries of the major polities in the galaxy were also formulated at the famous "Hua Xu Conference".

No matter how hard the Iron Army Consortium fights, it only gets such a small amount of territory.To some extent, this also determines the upper limit of their civilization development.

In addition to territory, population is also a big problem.So far, the population of the Palladium in the entire galaxy is less than [-] billion, and they are indeed a minority.And we need to know that in this idealistic world, the number of extraordinary people is always directly proportional to the population.A small population, of course, means that there are few extraordinary people, and it is almost impossible to produce strong people who can suppress them for a lifetime by themselves. At the same time, the proportion of resources in the field of mysticism is small.

If it is said that in the era of great interstellar voyages, the Palladians could still compete with the two major hegemonies, but now they are not at the same level at all.The palladium clan with only [-] billion people wants to continue to survive, of course, they can only continue to develop along with their already mature combat robot technology, and the road will go dark.

For this goal, they can pay all the price.Even if they are not welcomed by the idealist idiots who occupy the mainstream of galactic civilization, they can only grit their teeth and persevere.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian couldn't help feeling a little bit of admiration: "It's really not easy for you!"

"We don't have to work hard. Anyway, we just improve our 'clothes', which can't be regarded as violating the prohibition of the Civilization Council." General Griffith was much more open-minded than he imagined.

Yes, after all, they didn't insert chips and steel plates into their green caterpillar-like body, so it's not considered a prosthetic transformation.

"In comparison, those pioneers really worked hard. I respect them very much." The general said again.

those pioneers?After thinking about it, Yu Lian realized that he should be talking about the members of the Omnic Brotherhood.

There have been gossips circulating in the universe that the Iron Army Consortium is accommodating those prosthetic reformers who have been identified as "criminals who abuse forbidden technology" by the Galactic Civilization Council, and provide shelter for these "villains who blaspheme the truth of life".Of course, the palladium people never admitted it.

However, Yu Lian knew that the people from Palladium had done a lot more exaggeration than these rumors.In the territory of the Iron Army Federation, there are at least double digits in the cities where more than one million prosthetics have settled.

Of course, the Empire and the Alliance must also know about this kind of thing, and the Iron Army also knows that they know about it, but everyone tacitly expresses not to mention it.

"Do you know Mr. Trend?" Yu Lian asked.

"Trend? Who is that? Is it famous?" General Griffith looked at Yu Lian, the electronic eyes flashed with inorganic light, and the electronic voice did not fluctuate.

Yu Lian confirmed that General Griffith would come to seek cooperation. Apart from his halo of being the God's Chosen Champion, nine out of ten he was recommended by Mr. Trend.In addition, he also confirmed once again that the Palladium people are really a sincere and candid people, and they are really not good at lying.

"You really don't look like a psychic." Yu Lian laughed.

In this world, the people who are most disgusted with prosthetics are actually those fundamental spiritual (meow) groups.And these organizations often have a long history, and their reputation and influence are also great, which to some extent has affected the three views of subsequent psykers.

"Hey, I didn't want to be a psyker myself, it's just a coincidence." General Griffith said.

This set of Versailles is too low-end, but Yu Lian believes that this guy has no such intentions.As a flesh and blood believer who uses the external power armor as if it is the same as his own body, he may not really think that psionic power is meaningful.

"Besides, I'm just an ordinary psychic. Colonel, you are a psychic genius who happens once in four thousand years, aren't you also... uh, so unruly?" the general said again.

"Four thousand years? What the hell is this?"

Then, the general popped out a light curtain with his iron arm, and it was a huge news headline called "The genius who meets once in four thousand years disdains the galaxy and wins the champion of God's Choice".

This is simply a public execution!
With a casual glance, he knew that it should be a third-rate tabloid on Earth, but Yu Lian still wanted to find a crack in the ground and fill the belly of that tabloid, from the boss to the editor, with some neutron star matter.

Well, a one-man-carry-all-in-the-river battle is pretty impressive, but that's battle experience, not genius.Entering the fourth ring at the age of twenty-two is indeed remarkable, it can be regarded as rapid progress, but it is not without geniuses at the same level.Shameen on the opposite side is even one year younger than himself.

Moreover, in history, there has never been a shortage of amazing talents who have been invincible across the galaxy in their teens, and climbed to the top of the truth at the age of twenty.

Even the nationalist media of the several communities that regard themselves as role models for the youth of the earth people dare not boast so much.

... Tsk, someone who has a grudge against me must be planning to kill me.

Fortunately, it's just a third-rate tabloid that Yu Lian himself has never heard of. Otherwise, it is estimated that the threshold of his own family will be stepped down by all kinds of challengers who come to the door.

"This title may be exaggerated, but it also reflects a little bit of public opinion. This is why I think your future is worth looking forward to, so I want to reach a certain cooperative relationship with you." General Griffith's electronic eyes flashed quickly , seems to be expressing excitement in this way: "It seems that this partnership is only the beginning."

"Yeah! This is indeed a very good start. General, I am now very much looking forward to the future of this galaxy."

In the following time, General Griffith continued to dig his grave, and Yu Lian continued to do his work. Every day, he went to watch General Kebede's construction site with great interest until he finished the work here. , led the team directly to the south of the Transverse Rift Valley.

This time Yu Lian did not follow, and General Kebede finally breathed a sigh of relief.However, while he was rejoicing, he also had a subtle sense of loss.

In fact, Yu Lian was really not very interested in this future star.It is enough to be able to observe closely how the imperial garrison builds planetary defense positions.

It must be said that because the empire has always been the kind of virtue that I don't care about, Yu Lian's harvest is actually very good.

Face the defense line in the direction of the land battle head-on... that's it, anyway, the whole universe is a virtue.However, the artillery positions used to fight against enemy ships in outer space were almost perfectly arranged by Brigadier General Kebede.

Their positions were completely completed in accordance with the Imperial Artillery Code, and they were meticulous.The artillery fire of various models, powers and ranges is distributed in a quite layered sense, so that it can form a wave-band firepower attack on enemy ships approaching the planet.In addition, the arrangement of the positions has also been carefully designed. The branch is located within a wide range of hundreds of kilometers around Crystal City, and it is difficult to be wiped out by orbital bombing from outer space. The enemy ships form a strike.

It took less than one planet for Brigadier General Kebede to successfully turn half of the planet into a hedgehog that even a lion could not bite.

Of course, this refers to the case where there are less than ten enemy ships in outer space, and the largest tonnage is a light cruiser.If a Dreadnought arrives in low-earth orbit, no matter how the anti-aircraft firepower is arranged on the ground, it will not make much difference.

The best way to keep the stronghold on the planet is still to win a complete victory in the fleet battle in space.

Of course, during the exercise, it is almost unlikely that a large-scale fleet decisive battle will break out on Planet Sarna, and it is even unlikely that a double-digit fleet will pass through.

At this time, Major Popas had returned from General Griffith. He still remembered that he was also a member of the observation team, but he was much more dedicated than Pallas.After observing the prepared positions with Yu Lian, the major couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The really scary thing is that the Imperial Army doesn't mind us watching at all, they know we can't learn from it."

People with a discerning eye can only see the layout of the various artillery positions on the position hastily, and feel that they can do it by themselves.

But in fact, this is a structural gap brought about by all aspects of military organization, military quality, technology, weapons and equipment, and the execution capabilities of officers at all levels.

"If our army also wants to achieve this step..." Major Popas, the staff officer of the Marine Corps, thought for a while, and said in a tone that seemed to comfort himself: "If we can complete the information according to the information recorded today Equipment, there are still a few divisions that can do this.”

"A big country always needs a few road specimens, but if it cannot be institutionalized and normalized, it will only be enough for all the princes on the earth to watch." Yu Lian laughed.

Major Popas didn't know what expression to use to respond for a while, so he could only squeeze out a stiff smile.

"Institutionalized progress, of course, requires institutionalized reform." Yu Lian laughed again.

"...you mean the army?"

"Of course it's about the army. Otherwise? When I become a marshal, I will definitely promote the institutional reform of the entire army. You can't be absent from such a big event." Yu Lian smiled: " You don't think that I can't even be a marshal?"

"That's for sure. Even if you can't make it, no one can." Major Popas took out a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, and responded with a dry smile.

The artillery position here has been completed, and the red soldiers belonging to this side have also entered a state of full alert during the war.As for the "Mission of Honor" military exercise that was about to break out, Yu Lian just remembered that two of the four members of his own observation team were wandering outside without doing their jobs, so he sent a message to Feifei first.

"How's it going over there?"

"Are you asking about the construction status of the resort and the playground, or something else?" Feifei stepped aside on the screen, revealing the scene behind her.

It can be seen that in the lakeside valley between the mountains, there is still a busy construction scene.On the flat ground by the lake, a building with more than ten floors and [-] to [-] meters in length and width has taken shape. It can be seen that it is a very typical imperial court style city hall, and it is also the favorite residence of nobles. .

In addition, outbuildings and gardens surrounding the city hall are also under construction.

On the top of the mountain farther away, several villas with elegant styles have landed at some point, among the lush mountains and forests, it looks like a fairy tale world.

Automatic construction machinery is laying the cable car between the city hall at the bottom of the mountain and the villa on the mountain.It can be seen that once it is completed, the flat land by the lake and the surrounding mountains and forests will be organically integrated and become a part of this resort center
On the other side of the lake farther away, beyond the hazy lake surface and foggy water, more construction sites can be seen, and a tall steel skeleton like a building has even been erected.It can be seen that they should be the main body of the large amusement facilities in the amusement park.

"In addition to the amusement park, we are planning to build a shopping mall over there, which can be integrated with the amusement park." Feifei said with a smile: "Once it is completed, it should not be much worse than the Tianyu Paradise on the moon."

That is!This kind of leek cutting behavior that combines entertainment, shopping, catering and hotels, the alliance is an expert.If it were me, I would simply pull a ferry line from here to the other side of the lake. There will be no charge when passing by, and the price of the ferry ticket will be tripled when returning.

"Of course, it's definitely not as good as the one in Tianyu." Feifei said again, and then wiped away tears that didn't exist: "But I haven't been there yet, but some people have been there with other girls Yes. Fish, what kind of behavior is this?"

This...isn't this already explained?It's all for the destiny of the people on Earth.

Yu Lian pretended not to hear, and said directly: "Then what else?"

Feifei restrained her expression, and said in a low voice: "The investigation is still going on. The last Earl Salvin left behind more things than we imagined. After this week, we have dug out several pieces in the lake. It’s a hidden crypt. I’ve gained a lot, but I don’t think it’s the kind of harvest you and Yani want.”
