Chapter 513, Prestige Strategy

Gu Hang personally took the alliance ship and came to the Menghe Star Region.

His movements were of course sensed by Iron Fury Stone.

Humphrey Paul's reaction was quite big.

He personally summoned the alliance ambassador, the woman named Wu Yang.

As a Space Marine and the leader of the Iron Armored Chapter, Paul's size is 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 he was looking at a god.

There are many places where Space Marines are called demigods, and that's not nonsense.

"Gu Hang personally led the fleet into Meng River. You have already made a decision to become my enemy, right?"

Paul's voice was neither loud nor harsh; certainly not frivolous, just plain plain.

Attitude still has to be shown.

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

In essence, the ambassadors sent by the two sides do play a role in communicating with each other and confirming each other's positions and attitudes.

She said: "The Alliance is a member of the Empire. It will not tolerate traitors to the Empire and will definitely take action. Now the action has just begun."

'Uphold the two sides as representatives of the local forces in the empire and maintain exchanges between the two sides'.

Then, after the Iron Armor Chapter officially raised its flag to rebel, the ambassadors from both sides actually did not withdraw.

When the two sides fall out, who knows whether they will kill each other's ambassadors to vent their anger?
But despite this, Wu Yang still had to show a strong enough attitude.

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

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

Quarreling with each other's officials, being used as a punching bag, calling each other a traitor to the empire... this is a job on the surface.

At this point, Wu Yang also added: "This is the empire's requirement."

But despite this, the alliance ambassador Wu Yang standing below, although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, was still very nervous under the strong sense of oppression.

She has been in the Queen's Star Territory for several months.

But the real thing still needs to be said:
"In the future, the Alliance will definitely enter the Spider Web Domain and execute the empire's orders, but not now. At present, and for a long time to come, the Alliance's goal will remain in the Eastern Universe and the Menghe Star Region. ”

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

In fact, when the Raging Flame Chapter was driven out of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, the Alliance had already sent an ambassador to the Iron Armor Chapter.

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

Entering the Meng River Star Territory is, on the one hand, pushing the alliance's defense line forward to avoid being penetrated into its core area when a war starts in the future; on the other hand, it is to complete the empire's orders.

This is because they don't want the Iron Armor Legion to misjudge this and think that the alliance is going to attack them, so they take some drastic action. Of course, if Tiejai insists on making such a response, then the alliance has no choice, so let's have a fight in the Menghe Star Territory.

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

but……

Is Tie Jia ready for this?
Humphrey Paul already had the answer he wanted.

He was no longer interested in chatting with an 'ambassador' like Wu Yang, so he waved her away.

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

It wasn't until a long time later that he let out a deep sigh.

……

Gu Hang also sighed.

His sigh had nothing to do with the Iron Armor Chapter.

The alliance ambassador has already passed back the details of the meeting between Wu Yang and Paul. Including the follow-up, she kept quarreling with the officials from Tie Kai, and the other party kept threatening to go south and destroy the alliance, just like Tie Kai had destroyed the imperial forces in countless worlds.

But in fact, from what Gu Hang heard, he didn't think Tie Kai would go south.

It’s not guaranteed, but it’s highly likely.

Gu Hang roughly calculated the strength of the Iron Armor Chapter. If they wanted to maintain their current invincible power, then they would not be able to open a third front.

Especially considering that the alliance is a tough 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 believe that the Iron Armor Chapter is completely invincible and start making more attempts to resist, then there will be big trouble for the Iron Armor.

That would significantly increase the cost of their conquest, and there would no longer be so many worlds that would choose to surrender without resistance.

To put it bluntly, is Iron Armor's basic base much stronger than that of the Alliance? The alliance's basic base is the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, and doesn't Iron Armor only have the Princess Star Territory over there? The only difference is that the time for others to control the entire star field is longer than the time for the alliance to control the Dragon Eagle star field.

If you want to swallow up the entire universe, or even turn the war into a wave, you absolutely cannot fight it world by world, so who can withstand it?
How did Sorakem's Sun Crusade conquer tens of thousands of worlds? It is definitely impossible to fight one world at a time. Sun Lord is also a key battle. It builds a reputation and then triggers dozens or hundreds of surrounding worlds to spread the word and surrender directly.

And when this kind of prestige becomes more and more prosperous, then the fight will become smoother and smoother. Often when the fleet arrives at a certain place, it will surrender; even sometimes, no army is needed. Just a single messenger can make ten worlds in the entire sector surrender.

This is the so-called main method of conquering three worlds in two days and tens of thousands of worlds in an expedition of decades.

Prestige.

If you have the truly invincible ability to sweep through everything, then there is no need to say anything more and no need to burn your brain.

But generally there is not. Even in the early days of the Sun Crusade, when the Sun Lord Sorakem had not yet fully established his reputation and gained complete support from the empire through his reputation, his war methods must be 'smart' enough. Only by winning enough can things come next.

But now, Gu Hang could see that Tie Kai wanted to copy this practice.

Of course, they are still in the early stages of establishing their reputation. So far, they have only achieved initial results, and there are still several key hurdles to overcome.
