Chapter 433, Future Direction

In the imperial base camp, in the palace on the Yanhuang star in the Centaurus galaxy, Li Fu was holding a grand celebration dinner, awarding medals and so on to scientists, soldiers, groups, etc. who made great contributions in the Xileluo War.

In the battle of the Xileluo galaxy, the empire was very strong and completely wiped out the 50,000 fleets of the Kolov Empire. On the front battlefield, it announced the strong rise of the empire to the civilizations on the entire Orion spiral arm. On the spot, tens of thousands of civilization observation groups contacted the empire, hoping to establish friendly diplomatic relations with the empire.

The empire was able to defeat the army of the Kolov Empire, naturally, it was indispensable to the people who silently contributed behind the scenes, especially the scientists of the Imperial Energy Science Research Institute represented by Sikong Zhi and Bai Cai, who developed the 8th level energy weapon, and the imperial soldiers who sacrificed their lives and blood for the empire in the Xileluo galaxy.

"Everyone stand up and observe a three-minute silence for the imperial soldiers who died in the Xile Luo battle."

The huge palace hall was filled with thousands of round tables. Li Fu also rarely and extravagantly set up such a grand celebration dinner, setting up thousands of tables and inviting tens of thousands of people to attend.

At this time, as the voice of Tu Xueli, the prime minister of the imperial cabinet who hosted the dinner, sounded, all the people stood up, their expressions became solemn and dignified, without the lively and happy atmosphere of the dinner just now.

One by one, they lowered their heads and mourned silently. In the battle of the Xile Luo galaxy, the empire lost 300 fleets and 300,000 space battleships. According to the standard configuration of the empire, one battleship has at least tens of thousands of imperial soldiers. In other words, in this battle, 3 billion imperial soldiers will forever sleep on the battlefield of the Xile Luo galaxy.

3 billion imperial soldiers are a heavy blow even for the current empire. After all, the population of the empire is not like those civilizations with a long history, which are often calculated in trillions.

Low, mournful music continued to sound, and many people couldn't help but shed tears when they thought of their comrades, relatives, brothers and sisters. Many people present had lost their relatives, including Li Fu, and their descendants also died in this war.

"The ceremony is over, please sit down."

The 3 minutes passed quickly, and the banquet began again. Awards and medals were awarded to meritorious scientists, soldiers, teams, etc. Li Fu took photos with them, etc.

The celebration dinner held in the name of the empire was naturally not as simple as eating. It was more about promoting a spirit to the entire empire, whether it was defending the country or making achievements.

...

The next day, in the back garden of the imperial palace, Li Fu, Tu Xueli, Chen Bin, Yu Liang and other high-level and elders of the empire gathered together again to discuss the future line and policy of the empire.

"I don't know if the Kolov Empire will send a large army in the short term. If the Kolov Empire sends a large army again, it will definitely be more than 50,000 fleets, at least 200,000 fleets. It will be really difficult to resist it at that time."

Although the celebration dinner was just held last night, Luo Xiaoyao, the big boss of the imperial army, still didn't smile. The Kolov Empire was like a mountain pressing on his head, making him unable to sleep and eat well all the time.

"There will definitely be a fight to the death between our empire and the Kolov Empire. The war in the Xile Luo galaxy is just the beginning. For our empire, the death of more than 3 billion soldiers will sooner or later be settled with the Kolov Empire."

The voice of Chen Bin, who has always been weak, seemed a little cold. In the battle of the Xile Luo galaxy, one of his favorite descendants died on the battlefield. You must know that the Chen family founded by Chen Bin has always been famous for producing top scientists, and there are very few imperial soldiers. It's hard to produce one, but he died on the battlefield. You can imagine how Chen Bin feels now.

"I don't think the Kolov Empire will send a large army to attack our Empire in the short term, because recently a civilization on the Orion Arm made a deal with us, using intelligence and information to show goodwill to us, and exchanged their fleet trapped on the secondary arm."

Cabinet Prime Minister Tu Xueli announced a good news to everyone. In recent times, many civilizations have shown goodwill to the Empire, and each of them wants to have a good relationship with the Empire.

"That civilization? What information?"

Others asked hurriedly when they heard it.

"Stanlo Civilization is the oldest Level 3 cosmic civilization in the Orion Arm. The history of Stanlo Civilization is even longer than that of the Kolov Empire, and it knows a lot of information that other civilizations don't know."

"According to the envoy of Stanlo Civilization, whether it is the Kolov Empire that currently rules the Orion Arm, or the civilization before the Kolov Empire, every ten thousand years or so, they seem to suffer a major blow and their strength is seriously damaged. Therefore, every ten thousand years or so, the Kolov Empire becomes very cautious and careful, always maintaining the strength of its civilization."

"And now, the time of weakening once every ten thousand years is very close. This time in the Xile Luo galaxy, the Kolov Empire lost another 50,000 fleets. The Stanlo Civilization said very confidently that the Kolov Empire will definitely not use force against the Empire again in the short term."

Tu Xueli slowly told the information he had learned from the Stanlo civilization envoy.

"A period of weakness that occurs once every 10,000 years? Suffering a major blow?"

When everyone present heard this, their eyes widened immediately.

"There is such a thing? Did the Stanlo civilization reveal the detailed reasons?"

Yu Liang opened his eyes and was a little unbelievable.

"The Kolov Empire is well hidden, and the Stanlo civilization has slowly analyzed and summarized it after a long history. They said that all this is very likely related to the center of the Milky Way. It may be that the Kolov Empire participated in the hegemony of the center of the Milky Way, or it was attacked by a powerful civilization from the center of the Milky Way, etc., but it is very regular, once in ten thousand years, absolutely no exception."

"The envoy of the Stanlo civilization even said frankly that our empire is quite lucky. If it were normal times, the Kolov Empire would definitely use all the power of its civilization to wipe us out, but in this special period, the Kolov Empire dared not move at all."

Tu Xueli smiled and told all the information and intelligence, which made the imperial high-level officials and elders present frown.

"Once in 10,000 years, it seems that our empire should also prepare as soon as possible. In the future, our empire will rule the Orion spiral arm. We should not only guard against the civilization on the Orion spiral arm, but also guard against the powerful civilization from the center of the Milky Way. Of course, there may be other things, etc., but no matter what, only strong strength is the foundation."

Li Fu frowned and looked gloomy. The empire knew too little about the center of the Milky Way, or even knew nothing. Now all we can do is this.

"However, although the Stanlo civilization said so, we can't completely believe it. At any time, our empire must maintain strong strength. The imperial army must restore its strength as soon as possible, and we must also seize the time to expand it. The scale of 1,000 fleets is still too strenuous. We need at least 10,000 fleets to be more comfortable in the next war against the Kolov Empire."

"10,000 fleets? Your Majesty, with the current financial, material and human resources of our empire, we simply cannot support such a large army."

Tu Xueli immediately said anxiously when he heard Li Fu's plan of 10,000 fleets.

"Of course I know, but we have no choice. Don't these civilizations on the main spiral arm want to buy weapons, warships, energy shields, etc. from our empire? We can sell them all. In the past, we relied on arms trade in the Three Pearls Galaxy to build an imperial army with thousands of fleets. Now we can do business in the entire Orion spiral arm."

Li Fu nodded. Li Fu knew the situation of the empire very well. The wealth accumulated by the empire's finances through the Three Pearls Galaxy trade in recent years was almost consumed in this war. Now it is so poor that Tu Xueli wishes he could use one cent as two cents.

Others nodded as well. Without the arms trade in the Three Pearls Galaxy, the empire would not have been able to build an army with thousands of fleets. Without the army of thousands of galaxies, the empire might have been destroyed by the Kolov Empire. The profit from arms trade is really too great.

One energy cannon can make other civilizations work hard to deliver massive resources to the empire. The empire's military industry, the empire's army, the empire's finances, etc. can all get a steady stream of blood from it. Such a trade cannot be stopped.

"In addition, we must hurry up to research powerful large-scale atmosphere attack weapons. Although we won the battle of the Xile Luo galaxy, we suffered heavy casualties and lost 30% of our troops. 50,000 fleets are only 10% of the Kolov Empire, and they can recover in a very short time, but we can't."

"So we need a brand-new weapon, a powerful weapon that can achieve large-scale attacks. Only by mastering such a powerful large-scale weapon can we minimize the losses in the future war with the Kolov Empire."

"We need a powerful technological weapon that can be called a big killer!"

"Big killer?"

As soon as Li Fu finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes, and guessed in their minds what kind of weapon can be called a big killer.

PS: I went out for something in the morning, so the update was late. I'm very sorry for keeping everyone waiting for a long time.
