Chapter 1658: Funny guy
Zhao Chen shrugged and chuckled, "Since Your Excellency, the Elf King Kaguya, has already explained so clearly the situation that our Dragonflight Interstellar Empire will face at that time..."
Surely you've already come up with a solution for us, haven't you?
The Elf King Onyne said solemnly, "The invasion of the Conqueror Civilization is a disaster for our universe, and no force can escape it."
We must work together to overcome this difficulty.
Your Dragonflight Interstellar Empire began its duel against the oath to devour civilizations, but I hope you can end the battle as soon as possible.
Our Holy Elf Empire will block the combined defensive fleet and defend against the invading legion fleet of the Conqueror Civilization during this period.
I estimate that our combined defensive fleet will be barely able to withstand the invasion of the conqueror civilization.
Therefore, we must have your Dragon Star Empire's fleet support our battlefield as soon as possible after you have finished your oath-taking duel with the Devouring Civilization.
When the time comes, we can join forces and launch a counterattack!
This is the most advantageous approach for us.
This sounds like a simple tactic, but it is indeed the most advantageous approach.
However, there are also significant problems with this approach.
Zhao Chen put away his smile and looked seriously at the Kaguya Elf King Oniens opposite him: "What you have said is indeed the most suitable tactical approach."
But have you considered the human element involved... or rather, the attitudes of different races?
It's easy to talk about cooperation, but difficult to do it.
In the past, even collaborations between three or four interstellar civilizations have resulted in gaps and conflicts, let alone the fact that you are trying to unite all the interstellar civilizations in our universe cluster.
To be realistic...
Several scenarios will inevitably emerge at that time.
Some interstellar civilizations deliberately delay sending their legion fleets in order to preserve their own strength, or they may have originally had 300,000 interstellar warships but only sent 200,000.
Another aspect is strategic resources; there will definitely be some deliberately hidden.
Furthermore, in battle, once the fighting begins, some interstellar legion fleets charge ahead and suffer heavy casualties, while others may deliberately slow down or even retreat in order to reduce their own losses.
Once these destabilizing factors emerge, they could even have a contagious effect, causing other interstellar civilizations to see others doing the same thing and, driven by self-interest, to follow suit.
In this case, our combat strength may not be as good as theirs.
Given this situation, how long do you think your so-called defensive combined fleet can hold out?
What Zhao Chen said was basically based on the current situation.
Therefore, before this, whenever the Dragon Legion fleet fought alongside other interstellar legion fleets...
They would prepare for the worst and directly deploy these friendly fleets to the rear battlefield, letting them be responsible for the final cleanup or the final encirclement and annihilation of the enemy.
The purpose was to ensure that they did not affect the battle situation on the main battlefield and did not hinder the progress.
As the saying goes, it's not the formidable opponent you should fear, but the incompetent teammate.
The Elf King Onyne said solemnly, "What you said is true, and I do not deny it."
Therefore, we need to prepare contingency plans in advance.
At that time, you and I will jointly propose to establish a war-supervising fleet, whose responsibility will be to supervise the battle and have the right to act first and report later.
If any alliance fleet is found to be missing opportunities or failing to perform its duties, it will be immediately put on trial by a war tribunal. In the beginning, it could even be executed, regardless of the person's identity.
Even if he is a prince or even a king of some interstellar kingdom.
Such measures will inevitably arouse public anger, but as long as our two major interstellar powers stand firmly together, and unite with other first-class civilizations, we can overcome this challenge.
This will certainly be able to curb these terrible situations on the battlefield.
Upon hearing the murderous plan of the Elf King Onyne, Zhao Chen nodded in agreement: "I have no objection to this."
"Besides that, let's assume that we do indeed lock onto the interstellar universe that the Conqueror civilization first entered."
We need to build defensive facilities.
This will greatly increase our fighting power when defending against the attacks of the conquering civilization.
In this process, we do not need your Wyvern Star Legion fleet to contribute.
But we need your technology.
Your starport technology, interstellar missile technology.
Even the technology behind that superweapon.
Zhao Chen had no qualms about Onyron's direct words, because he knew that Onyron was just that kind of straightforward person.
Zhao Chen also frankly stated, "We can provide some weapons and equipment, but it's impossible for us to directly give you the technology."
However, for some low-level technologies, I can provide the design drawings, but I need to charge a small fee.
Don't accuse me of profiting from the war.
Everyone knows the importance of science and technology. Developing a technology, especially a war technology, requires a lot of human, material and financial resources.
And it will affect the future status of our Dragon Star Empire in our universe.
However, we can accept post-war payments for this part of the compensation.
"As long as your Holy Elf Empire is willing to accept it, I believe you will uphold our rights."
The Elf King Onyne nodded and said, "Compensation will naturally be provided; this part can be done as you say."
"At that time, our Holy Elf Empire will naturally uphold your rights."
"Okay, that's enough."
"We'll discuss this in more detail later," Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Faced with a major threat, Zhao Chen naturally wouldn't harbor any ill intentions.
He knew very well that the Dragon Star Empire was not powerful enough to remain unscathed in a catastrophe that would engulf an entire universe.
After this exchange, a brief silence fell.
"Finished? That's all?" Zhao Chen looked at Kaguya Elf King Onyne, who was no longer speaking.
"That's all for now," said Onyrons, the Elf King of Kaguya, calmly. "I'll contact you again if there's anything else we need to discuss."
Zhao Chen shrugged and smiled, "Okay, I'll send you my private contact information."
If anything important happens, you can contact me directly.
Kaguya Elf King Onyne was about to speak.
Zhao Chen continued, "Our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has made a major breakthrough in communication, enabling real-time communication across universes..."
Communication stations will be established in various universes, which will be beneficial to us.
"We hope that Lord Kaguya, the Elf King, will support us then."
Kaguya Elf King Onyons glanced at Zhao Chen with some surprise.
Inter-universe communication is a technological problem that has long plagued the Holy Elf Empire.
Unexpectedly, it has now been breached by the Dragon Star Empire.
This means that transmitting information will be much more convenient in the future.
There is no longer a need to send people to the other's universe before they can transmit information.
It's worth noting that when Kaguya Elf King Onyons wanted to contact Zhao Chen before...
He instructed one of his starships to carry the message to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire universe first, and then send it to Zhao Chen.
Even though the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has built a large number of stargate transportation networks, it still takes more than half a day.
In critical situations, this half-day can have a significant impact.
I have no objection to this issue.
However, in our Holy Elf Empire, it requires the approval of our High Council.
After saying this, the Elf King Onyons paused and added, "If a High Council is really to be convened, I will actively support you."
"Okay, that's enough for me." Zhao Chen said with a smile, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now?"
You're responsible for developing the plan for this matter, and then you can hand it over to me.
If you encounter any problems, please contact the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group or any department of our Dragon Emperor Interstellar Empire.
They will try their best to cooperate with you.
If you need anything, just say so.
Looking at the Dragon Emperor, who seemed like a longtime partner, King Onyne of the Kaguya Elf Kingdom asked doubtfully, "You trust me that much?"
"If this defense alliance's plan is to be handed over to someone who is not from the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire."
You are the person I trust the most.
You might mention Saloman, and I don't deny that she was an excellent general.
However, in terms of overall planning, I think she is not as good as you.
And I trust you.
"If you're going to mess with me, you'll have to come with me in person," Zhao Chen said frankly, then added with a smile, "Besides, I'm usually pretty good at judging people."
"Heh." Kaguya Elf King Onyons chuckled a few times, then ended the video call.
After this meeting concluded.
Zhao Chen's fleet did not linger here and left without stopping.
The fleet of the Elf King Kaguya will remain here.

"That Dragon Emperor just left like that?" The adjutant next to the Elf King Kaguya said with some surprise. He had originally thought that the other party would take this matter very seriously.
They will send a large number of legionary fleets here.
But to my surprise, the communication was so simple.
It was as if it were something very unimportant.
Onyx, the Elf King of Kaguya, said expressionlessly, "There's nothing worth doing right now."
Bringing too many people here is a waste of resources.
"This...it seems to be like this..." the adjutant said, but in his heart he thought, "But isn't this how it's done most of the time?"
"Continue according to our plan."
However, every three days we summarize our situation and progress and send it directly to the secretariat of the Dragon Star Empire.
"If it's important information or a situation, send a copy immediately," said Onyrons, the Elf King of Kaguya.
After listening, the adjutant subconsciously asked, "Um...don't we need to screen some special information first...?"
The Elf King Onyneus glanced coldly at his adjutant: "This is not a conflict between our interstellar civilizations."
It is a confrontation between all civilizations in our universe and another civilization.
Leaving aside the small and medium-sized interstellar civilizations below, if even we have differences with each other, how can we cooperate?
Do as I say, and fully share intelligence information in this regard.
"Yes," the adjutant replied.
The people under him continued to get things done.
Onyx, the Elf King of Kaguya, stood there, gazing at the dark universe beyond the porthole.
A slight smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
"What an interesting guy."
——————
The conquerors have been suspected of planning a large-scale invasion.
Zhao Chen was not truly unprepared.
Upon returning to the Dragon Star Empire, he immediately summoned the Supreme Secretary Lilith and Grand Marshal Charlotte.
He told the two of them about it.
Upon learning of this situation, both of them looked rather grim.
"This situation is indeed very serious."
We were already exhausted from dealing with the oath to devour civilizations.
"Now there's another near-T7 level interstellar civilization about to invade us, this..." Secretary Lilith covered her face.
Charlotte, standing nearby, also said seriously, "According to the plan you discussed with the Elf King Onyne."
That plan is indeed the most suitable operational plan at present.
However, ending our vow to fight the civilization-devouring entity in a short period of time is extremely difficult for us.
Our Imperial Military Command will have to revise all our previous operational plans accordingly.
Furthermore, if we want to end this vowed duel in a short period of time...
"In our pursuit of time, we will inevitably increase our combat costs significantly," said Grand Marshal Charlotte.
Zhao Chen crossed his hands and rested them on his chin, his elbows on the desk, and said with a serious expression, "I know this has a big impact right now."
All the preparations for our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire need to be started from scratch.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
This conqueror civilization is targeting our entire civilization and universe.
If our universe falls, even if we defeat the devouring civilization, all that will be left for us is a mess.
Furthermore, our meticulously planned and executed cosmic trade alliance and interstellar investment plan will also go completely bankrupt.
Therefore, we cannot accept this situation under any circumstances.
Zhao Chen looked at Grand Marshal Charlotte and said solemnly, "I know this is very difficult, but it is a problem we must overcome."
After a moment of silence, Grand Marshal Charlotte said solemnly, "Rest assured."
Once I get back, I will immediately convene the top brass of the Imperial military to revise the plan and ensure that the duel against the Devouring Civilization can be ended in the shortest possible time.
To better prepare for the invasion of this conquering civilization!
Lilith's secretary said helplessly, "Since things have come to this, we have no choice."
"Then we have no choice but to go for it!"
Seeing the attitude of the two, Zhao Chen felt very gratified.
It is thanks to the perseverance of these two that the Dragon Star Empire has been able to rise to the challenge and overcome any difficulties!
Zhao Chen looked at Lilith: "In addition, I have discussed this with the Elf King Onyons of Kaguya."
We will not send legion fleets to support them during their initial battles.
However, we will provide them with some technology, build a defense system, and make some starship technology blueprints public.
They will give us the compensation they promised after the war.
You'll be responsible for developing the plan and coordinating with the Fairy King Kaguya.
Furthermore, all our departments must cooperate fully with King Kaguya's preparations for this war during this period!
"OK."
