Chapter 513, Prestige Strategy

Gu Hang personally took the Alliance ship to the Menghe Star Region.

His movements were, of course, sensed by the Iron Fury Stone.

Humphrey Paul's reaction was quite big.

He personally summoned the Alliance Ambassador, the lady named Wu Yang.

As a Space Marine and the head of the Iron Armored Chapter, Paul's size was certainly not comparable to that of a mortal.

Sitting on the throne on the bridge of the battleship, Wu Yang looked up and felt that she was looking at a god.

Many places call Space Marines demigods, and it's not nonsense.

"Gu Hang personally led the fleet into the Menghe. You have made the decision to be my enemy, right?"

Paul's voice was not loud, nor harsh; of course, it was not frivolous, just ordinary and plain.

But despite this, the Alliance Ambassador Wu Yang standing below, although she had already prepared herself mentally, would still be very nervous under the strong sense of oppression.

She has been in the Queen Star Region for several months.

In fact, when the Fury Corps was driven out of the Dragon Eagle Star Region, the Alliance had already sent ambassadors to the Iron Armor Corps.

‘Adhere to the principle that both sides are representatives of the local forces of the Empire and maintain exchanges between the two sides’.

In fact, the Iron Armor Corps also has envoys on the Winged Star. The previous handwritten letter from Humphrey Paul was directly handed to Gu Hang by Ambassador Iron Armor.

Later, after the Iron Armor Corps officially raised the flag of rebellion, the ambassadors of both sides did not withdraw.

Quarrel with each other's officials, and be used as a punching bag, and accuse each other of being traitors to the Empire... This is the job on the surface.

Of course, if it is just for this, it is definitely not worth sending ambassadors to each other. It doesn't matter to Iron Armor, but for the Alliance, this is a political risk.

If there is no use, the Alliance will definitely not do this.

In fact, the ambassadors sent by both sides do play the role of conveying each other's voices and determining each other's positions and attitudes.

Wu Yang, as a very experienced diplomat in the Alliance Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was assigned to take on this important but especially dangerous task.

When the two sides fall out, who knows if they will kill each other's ambassadors to vent their anger?

But despite this, Wu Yang still has to put on a tough enough attitude.

She said: "The Alliance is a member of the Empire. It cannot tolerate traitors of the Empire, and there will definitely be actions. Now it's just the beginning of the action."

The attitude must still be shown.

But the business still needs to be said:

"In the future, the Alliance will definitely enter the Spider Web Universe and execute the Empire's orders, but not now. At present, and for a long time in the future, the Alliance's goal will remain in the Eastern Universe, in the Menghe Star Region."

Speaking of this, Wu Yang also added: "This is the Empire's request."

The subtext is also very clear, the Alliance does not want to fight a big war now.

Entering the Menghe Star Region, on the one hand, is to push the Alliance's defense line forward to avoid being attacked into its core area once the war starts in the future; on the other hand, it is to complete the Empire's orders.

This is to prevent the Iron Armored Corps from misjudging this and thinking that the Alliance is going to fight them, and thus take some radical actions.

Of course, if the Iron Armored Corps insists on making such a response, then the Alliance has no choice, so let's fight in the Menghe Star Region.

The Alliance is indeed not prepared for war and does not want to fight.

But...

Is the Iron Armored Corps prepared for this?

Humphrey Paul has already got the answer he wanted.

He is not interested in talking to Wu Yang, an "ambassador", anymore, and waved his hand to drive her away.

After Wu Yang left, Paul sat alone on his throne, silent.

It was not until a long time later that he let out a deep sigh.

...

Gu Hang also let out a sigh.

His sigh has nothing to do with the Iron Armored Corps.

The Alliance ambassador has sent back the details of Wu Yang's meeting with Paul. Including the follow-up, she kept arguing with the officials of Iron Armor, and the other side kept threatening to go south and destroy the Alliance, just like Iron Armor destroyed the imperial forces of countless worlds.

But in fact, from what Gu Hang heard, he didn't think that Iron Armor would go south.

Not guaranteed, but there is a high probability.

Gu Hang roughly calculated the strength of the Iron Armor Legion. If they want to continue to maintain their current invincible power, then they are not very capable of opening a third front.

Especially considering that the Alliance is a hard nut to crack.

And once their myth of "invincibility" in the past year is broken, it will be a very, very bad situation. If those many worlds no longer think that the Iron Armor Legion is completely invincible and start to try more to resist, then there will be big trouble for Iron Armor.

That will greatly increase their cost of conquest, and there will not be so many worlds that will choose to surrender without any resistance.

To put it bluntly, is Iron Armor's base much stronger than the Alliance? The Alliance's base is the Dragon Eagle Starfield, and Iron Armor only has the Princess Starfield? The difference is that they have controlled the entire starfield for a little longer than the Alliance has controlled the Dragon Eagle Starfield.

If you want to swallow up the entire universe, or even turn the war into a wave, you can't fight one world at a time. Who can withstand it?

How did Sola Kem's solar expedition conquer tens of thousands of worlds? It is definitely impossible to fight one world at a time. The Sun Lord is also a key battle, to gain a reputation, and then attract dozens or hundreds of surrounding worlds to pass on the order and surrender directly.

And when this reputation grows stronger, it will be smoother and smoother. Often when the fleet arrives at a place, it will surrender; sometimes, even without the need for an army, just a lone envoy can make ten worlds in an entire star region surrender.

This is the main way to conquer three worlds in two days and tens of thousands of worlds in decades of expedition.

Reputation.

If you have the real invincible power to sweep everything, then there is no need to say more, no need to rack your brains.

But generally speaking, it is not. Even in the early days of the Sun Expedition, when the Sun Lord Sola Keim had not yet fully established his reputation and had not obtained the complete support of the empire through his reputation, his means of war must be sufficiently "smart" and he must win enough victories before there can be anything later.

And now, Gu Hang can see that Tie Kai is going to copy this approach.

Of course, they are still in the early stages, still in the stage of building reputation, and so far they have only achieved initial results, and there are still a few key levels to fight.
