Li Yao knew that Ding Zhengyang was talking about the claw fleet of the night LAN, that is, the battle in which Ding lingdang led the federal fleet to rescue the firefly.
Ding Zhengyang spread his fingers, held his head and said in a trembling voice: "before that war, I had never seen a real Imperial Army in my life. All my impressions of the imperial army came from either the memoirs and battle notes of the heroes of my predecessors or from all kinds of self deceiving propaganda films - whether in memoirs or propaganda films, The Imperial Army are all weak and stupid guys, just relying on the tactics of the sea of people in an attempt to drown us.
Therefore, in the past few decades, I have been deeply eager to meet the real Imperial Army, launch a soul stirring and shining war, and let them see the strength of the last defender of the Xinghai Republic!
I even thought more than once that if I really want to sacrifice for my country, the best way to die is to fall at the most fierce time of the war, like Cheng Qizhi, the greatest hero of the past, to strike the imperial army with his own vigorous sacrifice and win a brilliant victory for the firefly!
However, ha ha, when the imperial claw fleet really launched a battle formation in front of me, when those overwhelming crystal armor, bee colony type star battle shuttle and flapping attack ships came towards us, I knew that I was wrong, cheated and hoodwinked all the time!
We are not rivals, from head to toe, in all aspects!
The power of the human empire is not something that our little firefly can fight against. Our struggle and escape in the past 1000 years, the so-called brilliant heroes and impassioned resistance, are just ridiculous tricks of flying moths into the fire, praying for the help of a mantis and killing ourselves!
Fat Mayer shakes the big tree. We are fat Mayer, even worse than ants!
No use, any resistance is useless, what heroic, what blood boiling, what courage and sacrifice, under the absolute force of repression, can not lift half a small splash!
Dead, dead! In that war, so many comrades and brothers, compatriots and relatives died! Those who are afraid of death die, and those who are not afraid of death die; Those who dare to sacrifice are dead, those who tremble are dead, those who bravely move forward are dead, and those who run away are also dead, all dead, all dead!
Even, even my... "
Ding Zhengyang covered his head with both hands. His head was deeply buried in his chest, and he could not cry.
"Zhengyang..."
Tang Dingyuan sighed and said, "I know that your two sons died in that war. Unfortunately, our senior officers'' family area was heavily bombarded by each other''s artillery fire. Many officers lost many of their families in that war, and even lost everything, just like you!
But just because of this, shouldn''t we hate the real Empire more, and the empire is irreconcilable, so we have to take revenge? Our families and compatriots were killed by the Empire! "
"No, they were not killed by the Empire. They were killed by you, by us, by the ghost" government of Xinghai Republic in exile "
Ding Zhengyang''s red and swollen eyes, full of blood, gushed out the light that people could not look directly at from between his fingers. He gritted his teeth and said, "if there were no deception and deception, if they could recognize the situation earlier, if they could surrender to the Empire earlier, they would not die! My two sons will not die, my five lovely grandchildren will not die! They will live and live happily!
Ha ha, I killed them, I! It was I who instilled the idea that "the Republic of Xinghai will never perish" into those two smelly boys since I was a child. I took them to watch "the battle of Xinghai" hand in hand and watched it over and over again! It was I who told them that the military is the most noble profession in the universe, and the military of Xinghai Republic is the most noble! It is I who instill lies into them and tell them what ghosts... The practitioners are the swords of human civilization!
If it wasn''t for me, if it wasn''t for me, they might not both join the army. Even if they join the army, they may not take the initiative to ask to go to the most dangerous front line.
If they don''t all join the army, my grandchildren, at least, won''t live in the senior officer''s family area. Some of them will live in other cabins. They will survive. One or two of them will survive, right, right!
So, I killed them, the government of Xinghai Republic in exile killed them, we killed them, you killed them
"Zhengyang!"
Tang Dingyuan said sternly, "how can you have such a ridiculous idea? What happened to you is certainly a tragedy, but even if you surrender to the real Empire, can your descendants live a happy life? Don''t forget how the Empire treats ordinary people! "
"Of course I know the imperial policy."
Ding Zhengyang''s face muscles twitched, and his red face turned pale. He sneered, "but how can my grandchildren be ordinary people? The achievements of my two sons and I have proved that we have good blood lineage and strong genes. My descendants must be several times more likely to wake up to spiritual roots than ordinary people, and I will leave them hundreds of times more cultivation resources than ordinary people. How can ordinary people fight against them? They will stand out in the cruel competition! My descendants, it''s better to live in the empire than to live on this broken ghost ship
Tang Dingyuan and Cui Lingfeng looked at each other, scanned Li Yao''s reaction again, and said calmly, "but we are not fighting alone. With the help of friendly forces, we have completely annihilated the imperial fleet!
Now, we don''t only have a ghost ship full of holes and tatters. Instead, we have seven worlds, a remnant planet of ancient civilization, and 100 billion brave men who are not willing to give in to the brutal rule of the Empire. Fight with us
"So what?"
Ding Zhengyang laughs grotesquely, "what we have destroyed is only a tiny claw fleet, which belongs to an imperial expeditionary force, and such an imperial expeditionary force can gather at least ten in the Empire? In my opinion, the star shining Federation is just like us who were still living in a dream hundreds of years ago. When the black wind fleet launches a raid, they will follow our lead and continue to flee to the darkness in the deep sea of stars. "
Tang Dingyuan asked: "I see. In the encounter ten years ago, you were completely frightened and became a defeatist."
Ding Zhengyang took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. Calmly, he was like a dead man. He said, "I don''t hold any" doctrine ". Our failure is objective, inevitable, happening, and not based on our will. My two sons are the most determined optimists and Victorians. So what? Is it useful? When the crystal magnetic cannons tore up their bodies, they didn''t delay half a second because of their triumphalism. "
Tang Dingyuan asked: "so, in the next ten years, you have gradually transformed from a defeatist into a cultivator of immortals, and secretly promoted the idea of defeatism and the theory of cultivators, eroding and transforming more people?"
Ding Zhengyang laughed and shook his head: "Captain, until now, there has been such a large-scale rebellion on the firefly, don''t you understand? I''m just a vulgar sailor. I''m in charge of deck affairs at most. How can I bewitch so many people and turn them into immortals?
No, it''s not me. It''s themselves. "
Tang Dingyuan frowned: "themselves?"
Ding Zhengyang said: "yes, you don''t think that I was the only one who was deeply stimulated in the encounter that almost destroyed us ten years ago? No, there are many people like me who suddenly realize that they have been living in a ridiculous dream.
It''s not just me, it''s not just Cheng xuansu. There are more of these people than you think.
I''m not "bewitching" them, I''m just "discovering" them. In the dark, it''s always convenient for us to smell the same breath. All the people who "wake up from a dream" have a special temperament, and we soon find each other. "
Tang Dingyuan said quietly: "then, what did you do?"
"Nothing. At the beginning, we just gathered together carefully to talk about the pain of losing relatives in the war and explore the way out in the future."
Ding Zhengyang said, "that encounter was the first confrontation between us and the Imperial Army in hundreds of years. In addition to the serious loss of the starship, many people on board had very serious psychological problems and post-war trauma syndrome. So during that time, various seminars, meditation sessions and psychological counseling groups were popular. We were mixed up in it, but it was not obvious.
After a long discussion, fierce argument and painful self analysis, we have reached an agreement that this dream, which has been for a thousand years, should wake up
"Is it Lu Qingchen?"
Tang Dingyuan continued to ask, "is it the so-called" immortal Lu "of the imperial Council who made you come to this conclusion?"
"Not exactly. Lu Qingchen was later. It was a long time after the establishment of the group of immortals on the firefly."
Ding Zhengyang said, "since we have been stationed at the edge of dragon and snake star realm, we have learned a lot about the Xingyao Federation. Naturally, we also know about the existence of the local immortal cultivation organization" Di Lin Hui ". Of course, we also want to contact with the di Lin Hui. On the one hand, we want to discuss the latest immortal Cultivation Theories, on the other hand, we want to see if there are opportunities for cooperation. Even from them, we got information about the imperial expeditionary army.
However, the emperor''s Council was very secretive. At that time, we were very weak and did not dare to make too much publicity. There was no good way for us.
Until one time, I sent a confidant to Yulong city to perform the secret mission of the group of immortals
