[Chapter 173]

After the Datang battleship retreated to a truly safe place, Sally immediately came to the Tang Long flagship. In Tang Long’s temporary bedroom, after Sally saluted Tang Long who was sitting on the sofa, she immediately said without waiting for Tang Long to return the salute: “My lord, I have notified the capital and asked them to send 10,000 transport ships here.”

“Is the delivery person here?” Tang Long, who stood up and returned the salute, said casually, and waved his hand to Sally, motioning her to sit on the sofa, and Feng Shuang, who was immediately behind Tang Long, fell down immediately. Tea for Sally. Feng Shuang and Feng Bing have a very clear division of labor. Feng Shuang is in charge of eating and Feng Bing is in charge of dressing.

Sally sat down, nodded to Tang Long and thanked the three, and then said, “Yes, a total of five million armed personnel and 500,000 government personnel. There are also supplies to replenish the wear and tear of these 900 warships.”

“Well, in the remaining five planets of the Li family, each planet has 1 million armed personnel and 100,000 government personnel. Can such a few people be able to control a planet?” Tang Long asked after drinking a drink.

Sally picked up the cup, sighed after drinking the tea, and said, “Oh, there’s no way you can do it, lord, we have too few human resources, and the 500,000 government personnel were recruited together, and most of them were just selected. . As for the five million armed men, it was made by taking away almost all the better soldiers in our garrison, and the share of these garrison can only be filled by getting a little from the conscription office. Although we still have two Tens of millions of soldiers from the earth, but the 20 million soldiers have not undergone modern training, and they will not use many standard weapons, and you have indicated that you want to use them as battleship soldiers, and now let them serve as ground troops, I am afraid there will be Complaints. Also, they have just left their home planet, and they are in a very unstable mood at this time. Sending them to a planet where there are no Earth people may make them feel abandoned.” Speaking of this, Sally put down Teacup said with a grim expression: “However, please rest assured, lord, as long as we stationed personnel control the original officers and soldiers of the Li family, we can completely complete the work of controlling the planet.”

“Well, it seems that it will take a long time to digest the Li family’s planet.” Tang Long sighed and suddenly smiled: “Look at how arrogant we are, we haven’t captured any of the Li family’s planets, and we are just talking here. Governing these planets.”

Sally smiled after hearing the words and said: “My lord, we are not arrogant. According to the intelligence and statistics after cleaning the battlefield, the Li family is now trapped in the Weiwu star with the two hundred or so warships, the other five planets are no longer arrogant. Any warship exists. We can conquer one planet, one planet, five million ground troops can guarantee to eliminate any resistance element, and I believe that the Li family will make a wise choice.”

Tang Long nodded in recognition of Sally’s words, then changed the subject and said with a smile: “Haha, I am afraid that people from other forces will die of laughter if they know our details. With 60,000 to 70,000 high-level transport ships, we only have 3,000 or 4,000 warships. And two thousand of them don’t know when they will be available.”

Sally also smiled and said: “Yeah, you must know that if we analyze our force according to the convention of pairing ten warships with one high-level transport ship in the universe, our force will be 600,000 or 700,000. With such a huge force, one Sweeping the entire universe is a piece of cake.”

“Yes, I don’t think any other forces are hostile to us except the Li family that is close to me. I’m afraid it has something to do with the fact that we have so many transport ships. In fact, our troops are pitifully small. Except for the fixed garrison, we can use them. There are only 900 Beluga battleships. If the Li family’s territory is captured, and the garrison of the occupying planet is deducted, we may only be able to mobilize 400 Beluga battleships. I don’t know when the two thousand battleships that Chen Kang promised will be delivered. .” Tang Long sighed.

“My lord, Chen Kang said that it will take seven days before the 2,000 X battleships and 40,000 high-level transport ships arrive at Zhongzhou Star.”

“Yeah.” After thinking about it for a while, Tang Long pointed his head to Sally and asked Sally the question he had been thinking about for a long time: “Sally, why do you think Chen Kang, who wants to control our economy and the lifeline of the military industry, is so enthusiastic Send us weapons?”

After thinking for a while, Sally shook her head and said, “My subordinates don’t understand why he is so enthusiastic. According to Ling Li, Chen Kang calls his company almost three times a day, and it doesn’t look like he is pretentious when he looks anxious. Yes. It doesn’t seem like he did this in order to gain the profit of our economy and the lifeline of the military industry. This kind of arms company that can send 2,000 X-warships and 40,000 high-level transport ships at any time should not care about the value of several planets. , did he invest in advance because he saw that the master’s future achievements were extraordinary?”

After listening to Sally’s words, Tang Long was even more confused about Chen Kang’s purpose. In desperation, he could only sigh and say, “No matter what purpose he has, anyway, if it’s good, he’ll do his best to fish it out.” After saying that, he took the drink and drank it, and Feng Shuang, who was beside him, immediately replaced Tang Long with a full one.

Sally didn’t want to spend too much time discussing such unclear issues, so she changed the subject and asked: “By the way, lord, how to solve the fortress of Weiwuxing? Do I need to transfer the X-warships stationed on other planets?” .

“No need, all of our battleships add up to less than 2,000 ships, and it is impossible to attack a planetary fortress.” Speaking of this, Tang Long suddenly remembered something and said: “How about transferring the file battleship and the honeycomb battleship? ”

“Rasp battleship and honeycomb battleship? There are only 20 honeycomb battleships. The file battleship could have captured 5, but three were destroyed by the young lady’s robot subordinates, and now there are only 2 left. We add these two kinds of battleships together. There are only 22 warships, what is the use of facing this fortress? And they were all taken away by our military factory. Chen Kang is very interested in these two kinds of warships.” Sally asked in confusion, when she asked this He suddenly said with interest: “My lord, I wonder if you can buy thousands of these two types of battleships. The combination of these two types of battleships will be a perfect combination of shield and spear.”

“Destroyed three rasp battleships for those guys? No wonder when I asked them they only said they had killed them all.” Tang Long muttered in dissatisfaction before answering Sally’s question: “I want to use them to make some small things. It’s a strategy, but there is little hope of success, and since the military factory is going to go, then forget it. As for the purchase of these two types of warships, of course I hope to be able to buy several thousand of them, but I can’t find a seller at all, the Caesars. Those who knew the sellers are all dead again, it seems that we have to see if our arsenal can fully understand these two warships and then manufacture them.” Tang Long originally wanted the old sister’s factory to manufacture these two kinds of warships, but considering that the two warships would be manufactured. The only thing that can affect the progress of the Beluga battleship is to give up, because at this time, the multi-functional battleship of the Beluga is still more popular.

“By the way, my lord, I have a suggestion. Have you ever thought about transferring the fleets stationed on each planet? In fact, there is nothing in our Central Province Star Region that requires hundreds of warships to be stationed on each planet. We only need to send two hundred warships. A Central Continent Star Region fleet is enough to patrol the entire Star Region.” Sally suggested.

Tang Long stood up abruptly and said happily: “Well, this is a good way, so that we can free up the maneuvering force of nearly a thousand battleships. Apart from the thousand new X battleships, are there any two warships that we captured and collected before? Hundred ships?” After looking at Sally, this guy Tang Long just doesn’t like to remember things, anyway, others will help him remember, it has become a habit.

Sally thought for a moment, nodded and said, “Including the battleships that are still being repaired in the repair shop, there are about 300 ships in total.”

Tang Long clapped his hands and said, “Okay! Just use these warships to form the Central Continent Star Fleet, and the thousand X battleships will be transferred back to the Central Continent Star for standby. As for the commander of the Central Continent Star Fleet… I will be recommended by the military department. A lieutenant colonel will serve as a lieutenant colonel. And Liu Yihui will be the commander of the thousand X battleships. The army number is the First Brigade of the Datang Fleet. By the way, I tell Zhang Guanhua and Li Jiamin, the two brigadiers, that the two thousand X battleships will arrive 7 days later. , the commanders of the Second and Third Brigades of the Datang Fleet are theirs, let them get ready.”

When Tang Long said this, he seemed suddenly excited. He took a cup and drank the drink before continuing: “I don’t think it’s good for us to continue to use the Wanluo Federation’s military system at this time, because their military system is too complicated. You wait for the order to the whole army, the commander of the next X battleship is a lieutenant, a small team of 10 warships, and the commander is a captain or captain; 50 warships are a squadron, and the commander is a major; 100 warships are a large team , the commander is a lieutenant colonel; 500 warships form a column, and the commander is a colonel or a colonel; 1,000 warships form a brigade, and the commander is a brigadier general; 5,000 warships form a division, and the commander is a major general; 10,000 warships form an army , the commander is the lieutenant general. The admiral can command the group army. In the future, our army will use the X warship as the standard warship. The rank of the warship commander is one level higher. For example, the commander of 1,000 Beluga battleships must be a soldier with the rank of major general or above. By the way, Shari, can each team be equipped with a high-level transport ship? Will it be too few? ?” Tang Long finally stopped and asked Sally.

Sally did not expect that Tang Long had set the rules of the warship so casually. Fortunately, she always brought a recorder with her every time she met with Tang Long, just because she was afraid of Tang Long’s random assignment. Without that recorder, something so important to the military would have been messed up. Hearing Tang Long’s question, she hurriedly said: “Enough, one high-level transport ship is enough to support 10 X-warships for three high-intensity battles. If it is patrolling, one high-level transport ship can support 10 X-warships in space. Sailing for two months.”

“Well, do you still need to configure warships such as engineering ships and maintenance ships?” Tang Long continued to ask.

“Each brigade is equipped with one such logistics ship, and a brigade has 20 such logistics ships,” Sally said.

Tang Long smiled and scratched his head and said, “I don’t seem to have gone on an expedition with this kind of logistics ship during this period of time. I don’t know much about these. The rational configuration of the later warships will be handed over to you and the military.”

“This is because you have always been fighting at the door of your home, and of course you don’t need to be equipped with logistics ships to go out. When you go to the distant star field in the future, it is impossible to dispatch without these logistics ships.” Seeing Tang Long’s smile, Sally couldn’t help but swell up. A kind of feeling of being an elder, so I said this kind of words that have no distinction between subordinates and subordinates. But after speaking, Sally immediately realized that she had lost her temper, and stood up quickly and said, “If the lord has nothing to do, then the subordinates will report the reorganization of the warship back to the capital.”

Tang Long said hurriedly: “Wait, the task of commanding the battleship to fight against the Li family will be handed over to you, because I still have something to do.”

Sally was stunned for a moment, but she didn’t ask Tang Long what was the matter, but nodded and said, “Then the subordinate will dispatch three brigades of Beluga battleships to monitor Wei Wuxing, and use the other six brigades of Beluga battleships to cooperate. Our armed personnel have captured the Li family’s territory, is it okay for my subordinates to arrange this?”

Tang Long nodded and said: “Yes, but the warships monitoring the satellite must not enter the effective range of the fortress, let alone attack the fortress. We are not the opponents of the fortress at all.” Speaking of this, Tang Long paused before He continued: “Please inform me, I will take 10 Beluga battleships with me later, and the reserve officers inside will be transferred to other battleships.”

“You mean that these 10 Moby-Dick ships only need robot soldiers? Do the officers of your flagship also need to be transferred?” Sally asked.

“You don’t need to transfer the person from this flagship, I’ll take one of the 10 ships.” Tang Long shook his head.

Sally knew that Tang Long was going to do something she didn’t want people to know, so she used a robot that wouldn’t reveal secrets. She didn’t feel sad because she was one of the people Tang Long didn’t want to know, but looked at Tang Long worriedly and asked, “Are you going alone?”

Tang Long smiled and said: “Don’t worry, I’m going to our meteorite base to see, and at the same time, I stopped by my sister’s base to see if a new Beluga battleship has been built. I’m by my side, they are absolutely safe with me. Okay, go and do your business, and let me know when you’re done.” Hearing this, Feng Bing and Feng Shuang, who were standing behind Tang Long, sighed. A kind of light flashed from the beautiful eyes.

Hearing Tang Long’s concern and explanation, for some unknown reason, Sally felt a warm and heartfelt feeling in her heart, so she smiled sweetly and said to Feng Bing and Feng Shuang, “Let’s leave it to you, my lord. You guys.” Then he saluted and walked away. Feng Bing and Feng Shuang did not answer, but returned a standard military salute.

Tang Long was troubled by the question that suddenly occurred to him at the moment: “She took away 2 million of the 3 million robots of my sister, and my 900 Beluga battleships used 900,000 robots, and it was still one. 1,000 people came to use it, so there are only 100,000 robots in the factory? Even if there are new warships, how can I bring them back? Well, robots are different from people. One person can hold several positions, about 100 A robot can start a Beluga battleship, right? Ah… bad! I don’t know the way to the factory!” Tang Long hurriedly raised his head and asked, “Feng Bing, Feng Shuang, do you know my old sister’s factory? Where is it built? Don’t say you don’t know!” He looked at the two beautiful bodyguards pitifully.

Seeing Tang Long’s appearance, Feng Bing and Feng Shuang’s eyes lit up again, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, revealing a smile. Both of them nodded with a smile at the same time, and Feng Bing even said, “My lord, we know that the factory established by the young lady is in…”

Tang Long waved his hand to stop her from going on, and said with a sigh of relief: “You just need to know, don’t tell me, I can’t remember anyway.”

Feng Bing’s eyes seemed to sway, and she opened her mouth but did not make a sound. On the other hand, Feng Shuang seemed to hesitate for a while before opening her mouth and said, “My lord, it’s better for you to remember, in case we’re not by your side…”

Tang Long shouted in shock: “Not by my side? You will not be by my side? Then what should I do? Who will wake me up when you are not there? When it comes to my clothes, I will have lunch every day without you, and I will get lost without you! Why are you not by my side? Does the old lady want you to help her?”

When Feng Bing and Feng Shuang said those words in Tang Long, there was an inexplicable and moving light in their eyes. When they heard Tang Long ask why, they had panicked expressions on their faces, and shook their heads desperately. Feng Shuang explained in a panic, “I’m sorry lord, we didn’t want to leave you, just now… I just made a metaphor… Yes, just a metaphor. Unless the lord no longer needs us, we will If we leave the lord, otherwise no one will be able to drive us away from the lord!” Feng Shuang said the latter sentence firmly, and Feng Bing nodded solemnly.

Tang Long breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, “It turned out to be a metaphor, it really scared me. Ah, I’m hungry, what’s there to eat?”

Feng Shuang, who was in charge of food, said hurriedly: “Please wait a moment, my lord, and I will bring you your favorite steak right away.”

“Okay, go back quickly, I’m starving to death.” Tang Long said excitedly wiping his lips.

“Yes.” Feng Shuang bent down and turned to go out.

While waiting for the food, Tang Long began to play computer games and asked Feng Bing to play sparring with him.

As early as Tang Long took them to dance, he had already noticed that these two icy robots had become a little gentler. From this aspect, we can know that their intelligence and emotion have been improved. But Tang Long didn’t care at all, and didn’t deliberately find a way to improve their intelligence and emotion again. However, it was Tang Long’s mentality of treating them as human beings, which made them rapidly evolve to the level of Tang Yi and the other five. And today’s scene made them surpass Tang Yi and the others in an instant, and even evolved their intelligent emotions to the same level as Tang Xing.

Ordinary people don’t think there is anything surprising about the scene just now, and even another girl hears that Tang Long’s retention of her is because of these reasons, and I am afraid that she will be more determined to leave. However, Feng Bing and Feng Shuang are not human beings, but robots with imperfect intelligence and emotion. For them, being able to understand the meaning of their existence is ‘being demanded’. In other words, they hope to experience the meaning of their existence through someone who needs their help.

The main reason why a robot with self-awareness can have self is because it knows ‘self’ and can understand the meaning of ‘I’. As long as it understands this, the computer program will produce a kind of self that only intelligent life has. consciousness.

Although Tang Long’s words did not contain love or friendship, they were full of a ‘need’ meaning. I don’t know why, but Feng Bing and Feng Shuang just need the condition of being “needed” in order to evolve. Perhaps when Tang Xing created them, he just thought about the need for a few helpers, so they came into being. The first ray of self-awareness. Anyway, now Feng Bing and Feng Shuang have evolved to the level of slowly adjusting their intelligence and emotions. As for why they can so easily reach the realm that robots have longed for for a long time, maybe Tang Long treats them as real people. About it.

Liu Sihao and the others, who were staying on the flagship, suddenly found that a large number of giant transport ships were bound for this star field. After the 900 Beluga warships were also divided into 3 brigades to monitor Weiwuxing, the other 6 brigades, led by Admiral Shari, began to capture the Li family territory with 10,000 high-level warships. The journey of five executive stars.

“Huh? Where’s the commander?” Li Lijun looked around suspiciously, but couldn’t find any trace of Tang Long, so he said strangely. Chen Yi, who had noticed Tang Long’s absence for a long time, also answered, “Yeah, the war is about to begin. Where did the officer go? Do you know?” The latter sentence was for Liu Sihao.

Liu Sihao shook his head and said he didn’t know, he knew he was lying, because before he set sail, he happened to see a small spaceship leave from here and approach another beluga battleship. When the troops set off, about 10 Beluga battleships disappeared.

Of course Liu Sihao knew that Tang Long had secret things before he left, but he didn’t want to say it, although this was the moment to attack Tang Long’s position in Chen Yi’s heart. But he also knew that if Chen Yi knew that Tang Long didn’t take her to heart at all, he would be heartbroken. For this reason, he wouldn’t say it.

Chen Yi found that no one in her group knew why Tang Long was not there. After searching the entire battleship, she could not find Tang Long, so she asked an officer anxiously: “Lieutenant, do you know where Tang Long is?” Liu Sihao became anxious when he heard the words ‘Lieutenant’. You, Chen Yi, are just a second lieutenant. How can you directly call someone with a higher rank than yourself? You must know that this is only used when the superior calls the subordinate. I don’t know if Chen Yi was too anxious to speak out, or because Chen Yi relied on her old relationship with Tang Long to make her seem superior to others?

As soon as the lieutenant heard the sound, he immediately stood up and turned to stand at attention. When he was about to salute and opened his mouth to call for the commander, he suddenly found that the rank on Chen Yi’s federal uniform was Second Lieutenant. This made him immediately put down his half-raised hand, and his face became gloomy. He glared at Chen Yi and said coldly: “Second lieutenant, pay attention to your words and deeds and your duty! Because your identity is not qualified to ask the Supreme Court of the Tang Dynasty. The situation of the commander!” Then he turned and sat down without looking at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi, who had not realized her mistake, was so angry that her face was flushed and her mouth was speechless. And Li Lijun, a one-liners guy, saw that his partner was popular, and couldn’t help but want to use force to solve it, but unfortunately Liu Sihao stopped him. Both Li Lijun and Chen Yi focused their attention on Liu Sihao, and they were going to see how Liu Sihao taught that guy a lesson.

“Lieutenant.” Liu Sihao said calmly.

The lieutenant stood up abruptly as soon as he heard his rank, but this time he didn’t raise his hand to salute immediately, instead he saluted after seeing Liu Sihao’s rank of major and said, “Mr. Major, how can I help you? of.”

Liu Sihao bowed slightly and said in a friendly tone, “I will first apologize for my friend, Second Lieutenant Chen, for your disrespect to Lieutenant Lieutenant.” Liu Sihao deliberately increased the tone of the two military rank names, hoping that Chen Yi able to detect. It’s a pity that his hints didn’t work because Chen Yi was staring at him.

Chen Yi originally thought that Liu Sihao went to the lieutenant to vent his anger, but he didn’t expect it to be an apology! And Li Lijun also had this idea when he wanted to come, so he also stared blankly at Liu Sihao.

The lieutenant stopped his hand and said, “Don’t worry about it…” Speaking of which, he glanced at Chen Yi and continued, “But the major’s friend doesn’t seem to realize what mistake he made.”

When Li Lijun heard this, he immediately opened his throat and shouted, “What mistake did she make? Chen Yi, what mistake did she make?!” Chen Yi, who was supported by someone, even stood there biting her lip without saying a word, looking at She looked like she would be mourning without an explanation. When the Tang officers present heard the words, they glanced at Li Lijun with contempt in their eyes.

Hearing this, Liu Sihao immediately frowned and glared at Li Lijun, and then patted his military rank forcefully. He made up his mind that if Chen Yi didn’t even understand such obvious hints, he would not hesitate to offend her and remind her directly. I don’t want Chen Yi to offend these excellent grass-roots officers. It’s no good to offend them if he wants to mix in the Tang army.

A partner beside Li Lijun was more clever, and immediately realized the meaning of Liu Sihao’s actions. Originally, he didn’t want to do too much, but seeing that Li Lijun and Chen Yi didn’t realize the problem, they hurriedly came over and whispered, “Chen Yi, you are only a second lieutenant, and you call someone a lieutenant directly. This is a charge of disrespecting your superior!”

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, she finally knew why the lieutenant looked indifferent, it turned out that she had committed the crime of disrespecting the superior. I originally understood that I should immediately salute the lieutenant and apologize, then everyone would act as if nothing had happened. But she was born to love face, but she just lowered her head and didn’t say a word. There was no act of apology at all. Maybe she hoped that this action could be understood as an apology in disguise. As for the stupid big man Li Lijun, he was very embarrassed to touch the back of his head with a smirk.

The lieutenant raised his brows, Chen Yi’s appearance had already left a very bad impression on him and the Tang soldiers present. If Chen Yi is not a soldier, doing this can be interpreted as being shy and embarrassed, that is, an apology in disguise, which everyone will accept. But Chen Yi is a soldier. To do this action, to a soldier who dares to act and admit his mistakes, simply means shrinking back and refusing to apologize! As for Li Lijun, the people present didn’t pay attention to him, because he was just a thick line who didn’t understand the truth and slapped injustice. The way he touched the back of his head and smirked can be understood as an act of apology.

As for Chen Yi, you are obviously a second lieutenant, but you call the lieutenant’s rank in a superior tone. Even if it is not from the same army, it is impossible to be so rude. You must know that according to convention, the military ranks of the entire universe are common. Even if it is not common, the officers of your Wanluo Federation are not good to call the officers of the Tang Dynasty as officers. Seeing that she called the lieutenant in that high-spirited tone just now, she really thought she was a high-ranking official.

I really don’t understand why the lord’s old department is so virtuous, no wonder she is still a second lieutenant. Look at the military manners and demeanor of His Excellency, Admiral Shari, who is also the old part of the lord. A person who is on duty like the Admiral, will not be picked on at all, because she has nothing to pick on.

These are the voices of the Tang soldiers present. They are not afraid that the lieutenant will offend Tang Long for this trivial matter, because in their minds, their lord is a just spokesperson, absolutely impartial and selfless.

Liu Sihao knew that the impression of Chen Yi in the hearts of these soldiers was irreversible, so he sighed helplessly and asked the lieutenant politely, “I’m sorry, I wonder if you can tell us where is Chief Tang Long?”

The lieutenant shook his head and said: “I’m sorry, I’m in a low position, it’s impossible to know the whereabouts of the lord, and even if he did, he would not violate the discipline and tell you. If you really want to know the whereabouts of the lord, you can contact the admiral, if I can tell you. Your Excellency will tell you. If you can’t, then it will be a very secret matter. If you ask again, you will be treated as a spy. It is not unkind, and I am afraid you know that. , the whereabouts of the supreme commander of a country is definitely classified.” The lieutenant had a good impression of this major, so he said some things that need attention.

Liu Sihao nodded when he heard the words, and saluted and thanked the lieutenant. Originally, Liu Sihao wanted to give up, because he knew that Tang Long had a different identity now. For the supreme commander of a country, his clothing, food, shelter, and transportation are top secret, and his whereabouts are top secret among top secrets. He doesn’t want to be misunderstood as a spy.

However, when Liu Sihao turned around, seeing Chen Yi’s sad expression, he could only sigh helplessly again, and asked the lieutenant to help contact Admiral Sally.

The lieutenant did not appear as embarrassed as Liu Sihao expected, but after hearing the content of the request, he returned to his seat comfortably and dialed a number, and then a screen was raised in front of his seat. After the screen went blank for a few seconds, Sari’s avatar appeared.
