Guide to Galactic Dominance

Lieutenant Kang Xiong of the Iridium Empire sat on the basketball court, dazed with a paper cup in his hand.

Yong Jin, a comrade in sportswear, patted Kang Xiong on the shoulder, interrupting the lieutenant's contemplation.

Yong Jin held a basketball, sat next to Kang Xiong, looked at the empty basketball court, and said: "A month ago, due to the lack of basketball courts, the crew of the Freedom Dragon and the crew of the Blue Pegasus The team almost got into a fight, because the Noye Star Facilities Management Bureau also wanted to open a new sports venue, but I didn’t expect that in just a short time, no one wanted to come to play basketball.”

Kang Xiong drank the coffee from the paper cup, looking far away, "You can't blame them. At this time, no one has the mind to do anything else."

Yong Jin sat there and patted the basketball quickly. The basketball bounced up and down on the ground very frequently, showing the officer's excellent touch. He said: "Iridium people will be nervous about fighting. This is really Unlike the Iridium people. For more than two hundred years, one generation has made no major sacrifices and efforts, but we dare not risk our lives. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."

Kang Xiong said quietly: "It turns out that the United Empire has always been in the first universe, and there is no real opponent. In fact, we have never really risked our lives, but the enemy is too weak. But now, the United Empire has become the enemy of the entire new galaxy. The enemy's The scale and power are impressive, and that’s when we started to feel anxious.”

Yong Jin shook his head and said: "I understand what you said, but when some realities are revealed, it is really embarrassing."

"The head of state has made up his mind. Noye Star will not defend it. The Noye fleet will adopt flexible tactics to avoid unfavorable frontal battles with the enemy and wait for the main fleet to arrive. In order to ensure the safety of the battlefield, the Imperial Army Staff Headquarters Our reconnaissance ships are required to conduct large-scale activities to ensure that there are no other enemies around us that may attack us except the Sushuang Legion."

Yong Jin stopped shooting the ball in his hand, grabbed the basketball with one hand, swayed his wrist, and said: "Planning is an easy thing, but whether it is maneuvering to avoid enemies or expanding the reconnaissance range, for the Nuoye fleet, , it will not be an easy task. If there is only one omission, the rest of the work will be in vain, and it will also put the main fleet rescuing us into a huge crisis."

Kang Xiong looked at his friend and asked, "Why, don't you want the General Staff Headquarters and the Head of State to save us?"

Yong Jin smiled, shook his head but did not say anything negative, and said: "This battle will probably last a very long time and be very tragic, and as soldiers, our chances of dying in the war are much higher. Rather than persisting for a long time in the future and experiencing the pain of various wars before dying, it is better to die at the front and have a peaceful life."

Kang Xiong laughed: "This is a very irresponsible idea of ​​yours."

Yong Jin put down the basketball and said frankly to his friend: "Yeah, I've known since I was a child that I'm unlikely to become a hero. My father told me that the United Empire doesn't actually require everyone to be a hero. What is needed is that everyone does what is required in the required position. It does not need to be done well. It is great to score 75 points. I have always done this."

He smiled, threw the basketball into the basket, turned around and left, saying, "It seems like I can't even score 75 points now."

Kang Xiong didn't watch Yong Jin leave, thinking about the meaning of his words, but he didn't have any insights.

He looked at the city. Noye Star had only built such a city. It existed to serve the soldiers stationed here, so it was more appropriate to say that this was a soldiers' leisure base. Although it was not very difficult for the Iridium people to build such a city and it took a lot of time, it was really annoying to abandon it and let the entire city and the entire planet be captured by the enemy.

When Kang Xiong returned to his officer's dormitory, a gathering notice came from his personal terminal. He put on a military uniform and quickly came to the battleship he served on, the aircraft carrier Innocence.

The captain summoned all the ship's officers and a small number of senior petty officers. The usually stern captain came up and only made an opening statement: "Are you all ready to sacrifice?"

The officers were stunned for a moment and fell into silence. Kangxiong, who usually didn't like to be in the limelight, didn't say anything.

The captain glanced at his subordinates. He didn't feel any disappointment or anger, but said, "I didn't do a good job either."

This made the officers obviously become more uneasy. There was even a small commotion among the officers who were strict and disciplined.

The captain did not reprimand them, but just said in his most ordinary words: "We are imperial soldiers, soldiers who have sworn allegiance to the head of state. We usually don't think too much about things. We only feel how majestic it is to be an imperial army. And here we are. Today, I had to reflect and remember, yes, as a member of the Imperial Army, it is our duty to die when necessary."

The captain's expression became more serious and solemn, and he said: "The head of state does not want to make such a speech in person, because he does not seem to think that the imperial army should die for him, but in fact, this is what it is like. The head of state If you can't say it, let me say it. This war is totally unreasonable, and a bunch of random guys want to deny the people of the United Empire the right to exist. This is something that the Iridium civilization will never accept. When war comes, we will Fight back. So, when you need to die, please die with honor for your uniform, your compatriots, the United Empire, and the Führer."

These words were extremely sensational, but they made every officer, including Kang Xiong and Yong Jin, feel very high-spirited, and some even sat up straighter.

The captain finally said only one sentence: "I will die in front of all of you."

It's natural and natural. This is the true nature of Iridium soldiers.

Kang Xiong smiled with relief at his friend, "We will die, Iridium will live, good deal, done!"

Yong Jin chuckled, touched the three-way lightning military emblem on his chest, and said: "I was a little worried before that with the Big Ten plus an obviously more powerful Fallen Empire, Iridium might really be doomed. But think about it now, fuck, even if the United Empire is destroyed, Iridium will eventually destroy these miscellaneous ten giants and fallen empires. This spirit has supported Iridium until today, even with the entire galaxy. As enemies, even if we have to fight against any universe, we will continue to fight."

Iridium people will not admit defeat even if their muscles and bones are broken.
