Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 755: Dyed Songstress (Thanks to Wubai Zhiyin for being the leader!)

As the war was approaching, the atmosphere in each star field of the Western Star Region became tense. After the Federal Central Government issued a notice, the Western Star Region entered a state of preparation for war, and many areas were put into militarized management, especially key industrial areas.

Compared with the crude military-industrial system eighteen years ago, the Western Star Region is now able to independently develop and produce mechas, fighter planes, and various small warships. As for large warships, especially battleships, the core ships for decisive battles, the technology is not yet mature, and they can only produce "Brass Dragon" class battleships according to the original blueprint. Although these seventh-generation battleships were excellent in the past, they have gradually fallen behind in the current situation.

"When will the expert group from the southern star region arrive?" Arosa asked the maid beside her in the small auditorium of the Sun Palace.

"Your Highness, they have already set off and we will probably see them the day after tomorrow." The maid in a white uniform with gold embroidery answered. She was probably at the level of Light Feather Sequence 7 and was the capable assistant that Blanche left for Arosa.

Hearing this, Arosa breathed a sigh of relief, then looked out the window at the bright sky. Seeing her like this, the maid showed a loving expression.

"Your Highness has been very busy lately. Why don't you take a walk in the courtyard to relax?"

"Hmm." Arosa thought for a moment, then stood up, lifting her skirt, her steps slightly brisker.

Despite being surrounded by many halos and titles, Arosa is only 18 years old after all. In the Federation, many people of this age are still students, with childishness and innocence that has not yet faded.

Walking on the grass in the courtyard, Arosa occasionally bent down to touch the tender grass leaves and flower stems, and her eyes would occasionally jump on some small insects.

Seeing her curious look, the maid suddenly realized that since Arosa entered the Sun Palace to receive instruction from the singer, she had not been in contact with the natural environment for a long time.

The mission has made this child bear such a heavy burden too early, she sighed in her heart.

Then she walked forward and introduced the names and habits of these insects to Arosa, satisfying the curiosity in the girl's eyes.

……

Time flies. Two days later, the southern expert group arrived at the Western Star Region and formally met with Arosa and other senior officials of the Western Star Region.

"I invited you here this time because I want to ask for your assistance in the design of our new warships and the layout of the production line." Compared to the weak foundation of the western star region, the southern star region has many years of experience in the production of large warships. Many star fields there were also logistics production bases during the civil war four hundred years ago, and have accumulated rich historical experience.

"Since we are here, we must provide our full assistance." The visiting representative nodded solemnly.

In the following days, the expert group was split up and taken to different star field industrial bases to inspect and record local production conditions.

Ten days later, the members who had completed the inspection gathered together to summarize the situation in each region and began to design future project plans for the Western Star Region.

"Time is running out. If we use the design of a new battleship, it will not be possible to complete it in such a short time given the current industrial system and foundation of the Western Star Region."

"The only feasible solution now is to upgrade some of the components on the Brass Dragon class battleships to improve combat effectiveness without overly increasing production conditions."

"In terms of firepower, we have advanced experience and exciting crystal materials in the field of Axis main guns and can provide them with assistance."

"Considering the Red Lotus weapon system used by the main 'Red Angel' class battleships of the Fifth Fleet, we need to install high temperature resistant armor specifically. In this regard, we happen to have the 'Fiery Phoenix Wings' technology from the Eastern Star Region, which can provide help."

After a design improvement that was almost a race against time, a more mature design plan was submitted. Taking into account the characteristics of high temperature resistance and increased firepower, it was named the "Pyroxene Dragon" class battleship.

A month later, the first prototype of the "Pyroxene Dragon" battleship was completed with the concerted efforts of all parties.

……

On the gray and yellow earth, the gates that were emitting hot steam slowly opened. Looking down from the sky, these square gates looked like small dots arranged in two dotted lines on the gray ground. Then the hidden dome panels in the two dotted lines slowly gathered to both sides, gradually revealing the huge monster lying underground.

The ship is about ten kilometers long, like a prehistoric behemoth slowly awakening. The fixed mechanical arms on it retreat one after another, as if the chains that bound the behemoth were untied, and then a surging airflow overflowed from the ground, bringing up billowing smoke that covered the sky.

A few minutes later, the battleship slowly rose into the air, and only then did observers in the distance carefully observe its appearance.

If we use a metaphor to help us understand, the outline of this battleship is like a number of rectangles stitched together. It does not have much aesthetic appeal, and the various lines are abrupt, like an unpolished gemstone.

"The outermost armor presents a translucent filamentary crystal appearance, similar to high-purity bronzite. There is a six-sided column-like axis main gun in the middle of the hull. There are 4 secondary guns on both sides of the main body of the battleship, 8 large and 368 small, which can be used to deal with close-range cruisers and destroyers. In addition, there are close-in defense guns to deal with approaching fighters and mechas."

"In addition to the obvious firepower, the warship can also carry 60 mechas or high-speed fighters to handle various war needs."

"Their excellent armor and firepower can ensure that they can effectively fight against the Red Angel class battleships in battle, achieving a 3:2 exchange ratio."

"If there is a shortcoming, it is that its power is far behind that of the new eighth-generation battleships, and it cannot move or advance at high speeds."

"But this is also impossible. If we want to change the power system and adopt the technology of the 'Sons of the Stars' Alliance, we will have to completely transform the entire battleship. The various complex accessories and materials required for the new power navigation system are extremely difficult to produce in the Western Star Region now." The technical bureaucrat shook his head and explained regretfully.

"This prototype of the warship was completed with the help of hundreds of thousands of workers and thousands of companies. If we expand production in the future, the time required for normal production of a single ship will definitely not be so fast."

"The current plan is to first modify the old 'Brass Dragon' class battleships and upgrade them to 'Pyroxene Dragon' class battleships, and then consider full-scale production."

"We estimate that within half a year, if everything goes well, we can modify 600 Brass Dragon-class battleships. After that, as the technology and personnel become more skilled, the efficiency can be doubled."

"...This is the most ideal result." At the end of his speech, the technical representative closed the recording board in his hand.

Many Western Star Region high-ranking officials present were not satisfied with this result, because the speed was still too slow, and the maneuverability of the "Pyroxene Dragon" battleship was too poor, making it particularly passive in battle.

"If we can't catch up with the enemy, the situation will be very bad." Some generals stated worriedly.

"That can't be helped. The technological barriers of the Star Child Alliance are not so easy to break through."

“I don’t see any hope of winning…”

After the initial enthusiasm, many people became calm and pessimistic when faced with objective and real data deductions.

Faced with this situation, the Southern Star Region's expert team also knew that persuasion and comfort would be of little use, so they just silently recorded the scene and prepared to report it to the 'Emerald Dragon' later.

------

May, Southern Star Region, Four-Leaf Crystal Star Field, Two-Axis Crystal Space Station.

As soon as Tilan finished his visit to the Star Child Space Station, he received news that the expert group was returning.

"Your Highness Heshia, they have returned, but considering the future support, one third of the members still remain in the Western Star Region."

"I see. Take me to see them." Tilan sat in front of the mirror. Several vampire maids helped her tidy up her dress and hair, and then escorted the girl out of the room. Three minutes later, in the reception room in the side hall, the girl met the expert group members who had just disembarked from the starship.

"How is the support going this time?" She had already received the report, but still wanted to ask everyone's true feelings.

A technical officer with slightly graying hair stepped forward and spoke.

"We have done our best to assist the military industry in the Western Star Region."

"But based on our observations before we left, they really don't see any hope of winning." Another technical officer also stepped forward to answer.

"Given the objective basic conditions, what we can do is ultimately limited. Whether it's manpower, financial resources, or the strength of various resources and industrial systems, the Central Star Region is far superior to the Western Star Region."

……

After listening to the answers from everyone present, Tilan nodded, closed her eyes slightly, and then opened them.

"In other words, unless a miracle happens or outside intervention occurs, the Western Star Region will undoubtedly lose in future wars, right?"

"That's right." Many people nodded.

The girl did not answer this, but walked to the side silently, as if she was thinking about something.

The hall was silent for several minutes. Seeing Tilan pondering over her steps, everyone present did not dare to disturb her.

Finally, the black leather shoes stopped and the girl turned around and looked at everyone.

"With the full support of our Southern Star Region, can we fight against the central federal army?"

"This..." Many people at the scene were only experts in military research and development, not high-ranking military officers and generals, so it was difficult for them to judge.

"It's okay, you can go down and rest first." Tilan didn't make things difficult for them.

In fact, this decision she just made was not an impulse, but the result of careful consideration.

It would be better to develop for a while longer, or wait for the problems within the central federation to erupt. However, the opportunity is not always there. Once the western star region is lost, we can only rely on the southern star region and the half-crippled eastern star region to fight against most of the federation, and the situation will be extremely difficult.

Emuraline was also a colorful singer back then. With her in the lead, the civil war was extremely dangerous and difficult. In the early stages, in order to stand their ground under huge disadvantages, the tragedy of that year was inevitably triggered. This was also the main reason why Emuraline voluntarily accepted trial later.

If she does not support the Western Star Region now and does not take action when the other side is in the most critical moment, even if she recovers the entire federation in the future, she will still face many appeasement problems.

I can never escape... the girl thought to herself.

Pulin's fiery personality disrupted the rhythm of many people and gradually forced her into a corner where she had to make a choice.

The conditions are not yet ripe, but it seems that there is no time to worry about it. We can only fight and develop and improve at the same time.

In the afternoon, Tilan found the chief expert group in the 'Emerald Dragon' and held a meeting for about 4 hours to understand the current situation of each star field in the southern star region and the gap with the central star field.

These geniuses were not surprised by such a request. Although they did not know Tilan's true thoughts, they could guess a thing based on the increasingly tense situation in the Federation.

No matter how reluctant they were, the word "Civil War" was like dark clouds on the distant mountains, slowly pressing down, bringing with it the bleak cold wind and chill that swept across the earth.

"Yes, we will speed up the research and development as soon as possible, finalize the blueprint of the new warship before August, and then complete the construction of the first batch of production lines before the end of the year."

After making all the arrangements, Tilan met with representatives of the patrol fleets in the southern star region. Most of them stood on the side of the 'Emerald Dragon' and said they would go out to fight when the singer needed them.

"However, when I think about fighting against the six main fleets of the Federation Central, I feel suffocating." Dolores said this while accompanying Tilan.

"Yes, the six main fleets are so powerful. Even though one of them is lost now, the remaining five fleets are enough to suppress the entire galaxy and pacify any dark sun that appears." The girl sighed softly.

"Back then, Her Highness Aimulalin also won over three of them, which gave him the confidence to carry out the reform of the Federation. In the past, it was not the Fourth Fleet that was stationed in the Twin Trees Star Region, but the First Fleet and the Second Fleet, the two twin fleets."

"The only thing we can pray for is that the Federation can only command the Fifth Fleet and cannot easily mobilize the other fleets." Dolores said with a little concern.

Seeing that her friend was so anxious, Tilan walked over and hugged her to comfort her.

"It's okay, I'm here." Her fingers passed through Dolores' hair and gently pressed on her back. A faint scent of flowers and plants wafted from her hair.

This was the first time she saw Dolores look like this. In her memory, this young lady had always been generous and confident, and sometimes she was even taken care of by her.

But when you think about it, it's not Dolores' fault. Now the influence of the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction has swept across the entire federation, almost to every corner. Anyone who has to confront this huge behemoth will feel fear and terror.

In the southern star region, some people in the Emerald Dragon may also think so. While Tilan was comforting Dolores, another point came to her mind.

If the western star region also falls this time, it will be difficult for her to lead the southern star region to fight in the future. People are afraid, and the number of people who flee, rebel and waver will increase significantly.

Originally, she wanted to wait a few more years, because she knew that with Pulin's ruthless means, although the central star field could be extremely gorgeous and prosperous in a short period of time, it would also bring various sequelae.

Now it seems that Prin is not going to give her any time. It is unknown where Prin will lead human civilization after the unified federation.

She always felt that if the Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star faction continued to develop in its style, it would be an extremely dangerous future. The entire country would either go up to the sky and use the ever-developing new technologies to resolve social contradictions, or it would burst apart and explode to pieces in the most high-spirited and enthusiastic state.

Well, this is consistent with Pulin's personality, she is passionate, straightforward and gambler. If she were asked to wait patiently like me, I'm afraid it would be extremely uncomfortable.

Different songsters will lead civilization in different directions and be stained with her colors.

The most powerful diva among them, the brilliant colors she brought will also be remembered in history and she is called a 'color-level' diva.
