Chapter 88 Meeting [2]
March 28, 2064 is destined to be unforgettable for many people.
Until many years later, when the generals wrote memoirs or interviewed by reporters, they still remembered the details of that day. Perhaps the most representative of them was the passage that Marshal of the Ryan Republic, Marcion of the Ryan Republic, told the famous reporter who filmed the war special film on his 80th birthday.
Sitting in the study, he held a pipe in his hand and described it like this...
"I remember we were in the Tactic Room No. 3 on the fourth floor of the flagship [Hedfield] command center."
"The room is very bright. The electronic lights spread all over the ceiling make the surroundings white. The walls are decorated with standard-designed tactical deduction computers and various instruments. The biggest one is the electronic interstellar map. It occupies a whole wall. The eight-meter-high light curtain falls straight from the ceiling like a waterfall. In the center of the room is an electronic sand table. The light curtain of the sand table is like a shrinking universe. Sometimes standing next to it and looking at those planets and warships, you will have the illusion that you are God!"
"You know," despite being over 80 years old, Machia still has the charm of an artist. He took off the pipe in his mouth and pointed it at the reporter: "You can do whatever you want on that. Those planets, nebula, asteroid belts, routes and data are right in front of you, within reach. If you have a mind and have a military in charge, maybe you can change the world."
"Is God of that day General Tian Xingjian?" the reporter smiled and asked.
Machia did not make a sound, but was silent. After a long time, memories and respect appeared on his wrinkled face: "Yes, that day, he will be God!"
It was quiet in the study, and the old man's elegant silver hair and his face, which was old but had an old man's unique charm, appeared in the smoke.
"Since the retreat of the Double Star Corridor, when Fujii and I were chatting privately, we were full of curiosity and respect for General Lere, who was younger than us."
"Curious because of his mechanics, because of his bandit warships, the twelfth generation mechas, and his experiences and achievements. And respect is because we witness his efforts with our own eyes every day."
"If you haven't seen how he defeated General Fujii in deduction, how he never waited to learn and command while retreating from the double star angle, how he fought desperately in the deduction computer and game cabin, you won't understand how much he paid for this war, nor will you imagine what this innocent guy looks like when he is serious."
"I like to see someone serious," the reporter nodded and said, "Sometimes, when I sit behind my desk and see my secretary busy doing things for me, I have a strange fascination, and I want to keep watching like this!"
"Your secretary must be a beautiful woman," Machia, who is over 80 years old, blinked mischievously, "Tell you a secret, I also like beautiful female secretary."
The reporter laughed.
This marshal who had married sixteen times in his life was already well-known. Among them, four wives were his secretaries. What is this secret?
"Let's put aside the beautiful female secretary for the time being," the reporter smiled and said, "Let's talk about the combat conference that concerns the fate of the entire Feimeng. As a participant in the conference, I believe you must have a deep memory of it."
"Of course, that was the most important moment in my life." Machia nodded.
"Do you start with the words Wang Nanxu?" The reporter obviously did his homework.
"Yes." Marchia smoked her pipe, "At that time, we all heard the conversation between General Tian and Margaret. Although not very sure, when I turned to see Takashi Fujii's eyes, I thought, I heard it right... They did mention the name 'Wang Nanxu'. So when General Tian was preparing to hold a pre-war meeting and announce his plan, each of our heartbeat suddenly accelerated for no reason."
"According to General McKinley's recollection," the reporter looked down at his notebook, "He said that since Marshal Hastings was seriously ill, everyone, including him, had no idea what the coalition would do next. The base camp had made more than a thousand plans, and all of them were denied. Moreover, since General Tian Xingjian gave up the jump point, many officers and soldiers believed that the coalition could give up.
"I can't remember how many plans I have denied!" Machia said, biting her pipe, "However, we discussed it privately, and they all thought that this battle was actually no suspense. To be honest, no one had confidence in defeating Sober, and there was no clue. In our opinion, it was only a matter of time before we could lose the Southeast. The only thing we could sit at that time was just to be prepared to sacrifice."
The reporter did not interrupt the old man's narrative, but just looked at him quietly.
"When General Tian Xingjian announced the pre-war meeting, I stood less than two meters away from him. At that time, the flagship [Hedfield] was located in space more than three million kilometers away from the capital star. The surroundings were empty and nothing. From my perspective, the floor-to-ceiling windows behind General Tian were spotlessly clean. The stars outside the window were shining, and thousands of white stars were like crystal clear crystal pendants, hanging on the black curtain of the universe, shining as the lights rotated."
The old man looked at the window of the study and fell into memories...
"It's time to let everyone know what I plan."
Until they sat down in the tactical conference room, watching the heavy automatic door slowly close, and the lights dimmed, the generals were still in a daze.
The fat man's words and the name Wang Nanxu kept echoing in their ears and rolling in their minds. All kinds of thoughts were like red-hot soldering irons. They burned the left and right, torturing their nerves back and forth. Everyone had a vague premonition, as if they were about to experience an important historical moment!
They accompanied the fat man to command the battle and play games together, because they were the fat man's efforts, because they had even one in ten thousand hopes of luck over Sober.
However, they never thought that their side had the advantage of defeating Sober.
until...........
"Before the meeting begins, I will introduce someone to you." The fat man stood in front of the Skynet terminal in the tactical conference room and looked around.
In the conference room, generals from all countries of the Filipino were sitting upright. On the communication screen on the wall were Russell, Mickey, Fervin and the commanders of the fleets of various countries.
At this time, the fat man looked relaxed and seemed to have no sense of urgency that the war had arrived. Instead, it made everyone feel that after coming out of the game cabin, he became that honest guy with a simple and honest face.
The shy smile on his face that made people want to slap him inexplicably had a power to calm down.
In the eyes of everyone, the fat man placed his hand on the keyboard of the Skynet computer.
For just a second pause, he had already thought a lot. Everything from the outbreak of the Lere Patriotic War to the present is like a movie scene. Hamilton, Brown, Snyder and the sacrificed Lere soldiers, the cities destroyed in the clouds of mushrooms and fires, emerged one by one in the picture.
The fat man suddenly felt that the sacrificed soldiers, all the dead or alive Lerei, were sitting in the high stands, staring at him.
When I walked out of the game cabin, the game was about to begin.
I am like an athlete who has already stepped on the starting line, with no retreat or time to hesitate. The hard preparation day after day is just for the forward running track in front of me.
On this track, you must surpass all your opponents, surpass your limits, or even surpass the wind to win.
Fuck you! Sober, I'm here!
"St," the fat man pressed the start button: "Come out."
"But?" Although the Fei League generals who were not sure of this were shocked, McKinley, Russell and others who knew the inside story were also shocked. No one expected that the fat man would let the little brat come out at this time.
The little brat is the fat man’s biggest secret. Once he appears, it will spread throughout the human world in no time!
The light ball of the virtual light curtain condenses into the appearance of a little boy in rotation.
Under the surprise or confusion of everyone, the little brat walked from the left side of the light curtain to the right, stood beside the fat man, and smiled shyly at everyone. That look, he looked like a reduced version of a fat man.
"Introduction," Fatty faced everyone's eyes, his tone was plain, but what he said was shocking: "He is the artificial intelligence of my Lele Federation and is also the current controller of Feimengtian. You can call him a little brat."
The generals stared at the fat man blankly, their eyes blankly. They seemed to have not come back to their senses.
The fat man said who was this little boy... Little brat, what kind of bullshit name is this... Wait... Artificial intelligence...
God, it's artificial intelligence!
The most excited Barasten stood up, his eyes almost bulging out of his eyes!
As he stood up suddenly, all the Fei League generals next to him jumped up. Everyone widened their eyes and stared at the fat man tightly, without hiding the shock in their eyes.
"Don't be so excited," the fat man waved his hand and said to Balas: "General Balas must have heard of the rumors of artificial intelligence in the Binard Empire, right?"
"Listen... I heard." Balas felt that he could not speak anymore. He swallowed two mouthfuls in a row before he finished speaking a short sentence.
"That's true." The fat man said lightly: "Luckily, we Feimeng also has our artificial intelligence."
He turned his head and looked at the little brat: "Say hello to everyone."
"Hello everyone," the little brat waved his hand with a smile, and walls, windows, fences, grass and comfortable chairs, coffee tables and drinks appeared on the screen. The dark world instantly turned into a castle's back garden.
And the little brat was sitting on the chair, crossing his legs: "Don't doubt what you see, nor do you doubt my intelligence level. I meet all your requirements for artificial intelligence - have an independent and inalienable personality, have independent thinking ability, and do not require any established program settings... In short, one, I was created by humans. Two, I am another intelligent life form."
At this moment, every Fei Alliance general had completely lost his ability to think. The appearance of the little brat and his words directly defeated their original understanding of the world.
No one expected that the legend of artificial intelligence in the Binalt Empire was real. No one expected that Feimeng also had its own artificial intelligence. Moreover, it was in the hands of the fat man!
"Artificial Intelligence..." An Allied lieutenant general looked at the little kid in a daze, his face surging red and bloody due to excessive shock and ecstasy. He looked as if he was already stupid and kept muttering.
"Artificial Intelligence!" Machia and Takashi Fujii almost turned their heads out the window at the bandit fleet stationed on the left side of the command cluster.
Those huge [apocalypse]-class space carriers, those split-type bandit warships, and their twelve generation mechas and mecha war gods... plus artificial intelligence... God, what kind of army is this!
"Fatty," McKinley, who was sitting next to the fat man, whispered: "Why are you..."
"Now I am the commander of the Filipino Alliance and the successor of Marshal Hastings," the fat man whispered quietly. Then he raised his head and said loudly: "I think everyone is very surprised. Why do I tell you about the absolute secrets of artificial intelligence like this?"
"The reason is very simple," the fat man said word by word: "Because, we will experience an arduous war together!"
The excited generals all calmed down and looked at him intently.
"I don't need to say anything about the importance and difficulty of this battle. The name Sober is enough to let us understand how powerful the enemy in front of us is."
"Martyr Hastings said that without sacrifice, there would be no victory. I don't know how many Allied soldiers we will sacrifice, how many generals will die on the battlefield, and how many soldiers will disappear into the universe with their warships. But I know that if we cannot unite and cannot trust each other, then our sacrifice will be worthless!"
The fat man's voice echoed in the room.
"People may be wondering why the Binalt Empire was able to catch up with and catch up with the Feiyan Republic, which was leading in all aspects in just twenty years. The reason is that they obtained an artificial intelligence called Little Girl twenty years ago." The fat man said, "With the full control of the little girl, Binalt's economy has become more competitive, and their resource utilization efficiency is more fully utilized, whether it is minerals or manpower, they are allocated to the most effective places."
"When this country, who has been prepared for a world war since thirty years ago and has formulated a series of policies toward this goal, can be imagined what the outcome will be with the help of the little girl."
The generals looked at each other in shock, and the fat man's words were like a bolt of lightning that cut through the fog.
If SAIRO has artificial intelligence and was ready to launch this war many years ago, then you can imagine how happy William III and Sober were when the members of the Supreme Parliament of the Philharmonic League were still arrogant and believed that SAIRO could not challenge Philharmonic League and rejected the military budgets and procurement lists of the countries of the Philharmonic League again and again, and were still quarreling about whether to expand the army.
This is not a war that broke out by chance.
The basically exhausted energy of the human world and the Binalt Empire's ambition to conquer the world have long been doomed.
This can also explain why the military strength of the Sjog was so strong. Why were they able to capture 80% of the key jump points of the human interstellar channel with a lightning offensive at the beginning of the war.
As aided by artificial intelligence, SIA has an indisputable advantage in the allocation and deployment of troops, in terms of Skynet information and command!
"However, I always feel strange..." said the fat man: "In Lerey's scientific laboratory, many experiments were assisted by little kids. Our scientific level has improved very quickly, and everyone can know this through the ships and weapons of the bandit army. The Binard Empire does not seem to have made any leap in this regard, except... the ruling."
"Of course, this involves a puzzled secret and a historical case that has nothing to do with the battle we are facing now." The fat man's fingers knocked on the table and stood up, "They have little girls, we have little brats. This is the first strategic condition for our coalition and the Souber fleet. On this condition, we are equal."
"Tell me the second condition..." The fat man walked to the interstellar map.
"Maybe you have heard something just now, so I might as well tell you honestly that before the Battle of Double Stars, I was not on the front line and made everyone wait for so long because I was on the way from the Federation of Salega to the A3 galaxy."
The fat man's words caused another commotion.
Even without the fat man saying anything, the generals had guessed what he had done in Salega.
Many Fei Alliance generals, including Takashi Fujii, blushed at the excuse they used this as an excuse to attack the fat man.
"I won't go into details about the passage of Salega. What I can tell you is that the Salega Federation has returned to the Fei Alliance under the leadership of General Wang Nanxu. They will fight side by side with us and resist the invasion of the Western Johor. Now, General Wang Nanxu has led two armies of the first and second batches, totaling thirty A-class fleets, gathered at the Jump Point of the Jepeng Beihai Star System. They are ready to launch an attack at any time. At the same time, the ten A-class fleets formed by the Ilega Federation, the Kneville Republic, the Chakner Republic, the Puditok Federation and the Tatania Free Alliance, also joined with General Wang Nanxu under the leadership of General Ilega Marki and General Chakner Panglongqi."
"North Sea Star System?"
Machia suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the interstellar map.
The North Sea Star System of Japon is located in the north of Japon. It is a strategic location connecting Japon, Souss and the public galaxy leading to Lere Bermuda. At the beginning, for this galaxy, Souss and Japon turned against each other many times. Over the past thousand years, the North Sea Star System has changed hands several times, and in the end, Japon controlled the place.
Chapter completed!
