981 Interrogation and Will
All the legions converged to form an incomparably large fleet, escorting all the Kunde ships in the direction of the Lighthouse.
The dense battleships dragged the leaping streamers, the formation was dense, and the tail flames reflected each other, as if forming a moving sea of light, setting off brilliant waves in the dark universe.
Imperial warships were mainly located on the periphery, and in the midst of the encirclement were tens of millions of Kunde ships, carrying the entire population of the Kunde tribe.
The ship's weapons have all been unloaded, the power of the energy core has been limited to the minimum level that allows the ship to operate, the thin shields have broken at the touch of a stab, and the ship has lost all armed forces and has been completely taken over by Imperial soldiers - these Kunde ships have been transformed into prison ships.
The Kunde main ship was completely transformed, the cabin was converted into a cell, all kinds of facilities were completely dismantled, and the mechanical style of heavy industry collapsed to a minimalist style, and basically only the load-bearing walls remained.
The command hall had been taken over by the Imperial soldiers, and two remote projections suddenly appeared in the hall, it was Han Xiao and Tarrokov.
"See Commander-in-Chief."
As soon as the two of them went online, the sound of imperial soldiers saluting sounded all around.
Han Xiao was in a hurry, Lao Ta happened to have made a plan to inspect the prisoners today, and he had already sent a notice, and the soldiers on the ship were waiting to greet him.
The high-ranking Imperial officers in command of the various formations were also present, all with their adjutants, using remote projection.
"You've done a great job." Tarrokov was smiling, nodding his head and in a friendly manner.
This group of young elite officers are the rising stars of the imperial military, and they will be the successors of these veterans in the future.
Han Xiao glanced at the officers present and couldn't help but shake his eyebrows.
Wow, it's all big names!
A group of future celebrities and military bigwigs stood in front of them waiting to be reviewed, and it felt like a group of people hanging in the Imperial Meritorious Exhibition Hall walked down from the portraits on the wall.
Because he knew the future identity of this group of people, Han Xiao felt that the scene in front of him was quite memorable, and he couldn't help but want to take a group photo.
"Your Excellency Blackstar, you're here too."
Tyny was among them, and said hello with a smile on his lips, obviously in a good mood.
"See you again." Han Xiao nodded in greeting, and when he saw that all the officers had looked over, he simply said aloud: "Congratulations to you for winning this war, it is an honor for the empire to have all of you with outstanding military talents." ”
Range-based PY attacks, the effect is not ordinary!
Black Star's identity is here, although he is an ally, but in terms of status, he is now surpassing this group of young elite generals who have not yet reached their peak.
No one doesn't like good words, and when they heard the big guy's praise, everyone had a smile on their faces.
"Wherever and where, the information provided by His Excellency Black Star is the cornerstone of victory, and in terms of credit, you are the greatest."
"We are doing hard work, and the contribution of His Excellency Blackstar is the main reason why we easily won this war."
Coming and going, some people immediately blew each other up, and of course, there were also officers with cold and reticent personalities who did not speak, but just agreed.
Han Xiao responded with a smile, suddenly paused slightly, and his eyes locked on the adjutant beside an imperial general, who was none other than Gao De with a subtle smile on his face.
"Hey, you're ......"
He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man slightly, seeing that he was not impressed.
Seeing this, Gao De smiled faintly and took the initiative to speak, "I've admired the name for a long time, Your Excellency Black Star." ”
"Meet me, this is Gao De, one of the superpowers cultivated by the empire, I heard that he survived the self-explosion of the primordial ghost, very good." Tarrokov smiled and introduced Han Xiao.
"Hello, Gaode."
Hearing this, Han Xiao casually said hello, secretly entered the vision of the quantum network, opened the internal interface of the empire, logged in to his account, and inquired about the information registered by Gao De in the imperial military.
It is already a habit for him to check the details of a person when they meet.
With his authority, it would be no problem to look up the basic information of some members of the Empire.
In the next second, Gao De's information popped up in the picture in his brain, and Han Xiao browsed it, only to see that Gao De's innocent service history was recorded on it, and it didn't seem to be a problem.
He swiped down, and was about to see more detailed information, when a warning of insufficient permissions popped up on the interface.
"Can't see it? It seems that he is quite valued. ”
Han Xiao would not be idle enough to crack the empire's network to cause dissatisfaction among the higher-ups, so he turned off the interface and thought about it.
Lao Ta said that Gao De was on the list of superpowers to be cultivated? With the size of the empire, the key training goals are basically going to super A-level seeds or even super A-level, and there are two kinds of superpowers cultivated, one is special ability, and the other is outstanding potential, this guy is at most a natural disaster level, and he can survive in the primordial ghostly energy.
After inspecting the civilians, the two men came to the area where the high-level people were held in solitary confinement, and stood outside the interrogation room of the Kunde leader, observing each other through a one-sided window.
Although he was reduced to a prisoner, the Kunde leader sat upright, still maintaining his bearing, staying alone in the interrogation room, closing his eyes and recuperating.
"I'll just go in and listen when you ask." Glancing at the leader of the Kunde clan, Han Xiao turned his head and said to the old tower.
The person who presided over the interrogation was Lao Ta, who had only come to visit, and the Kunde leaders did not know him.
Tarrokov nodded, indicating that he had no opinion, and nodded at the soldier beside him.
"Open the door."
……
In the interrogation room, the Kunde leader sat upright in his seat, trying to sit as straight as he could.
He was not as calm as he appeared to be, but he had to pretend to be calm, and in his eyes, he represented the last dignity of the Kunde people.
"Brush—"
The door slid open, and the Kunde leader heard the noise, opened his eyes, and saw two figures entering.
One was the enemy commander Tarrokov he had seen, and the other was an extremely strange person, wearing an intricate and gorgeous gold-patterned black trench coat, which looked like a big man at first glance, and I didn't know what it came from.
"This is the second time we've met." Tarrokov quickly entered the state, with a straight face, and said lightly: "We have fulfilled our promise and did not carry out the massacre, you must now tell me everything you know, including your thoughts and logic when making decisions, the reasons for attacking us, and tell all the causes and consequences, remember, your answer will affect our attitude towards you, it is best not to have any deception, otherwise it will not be me who regrets it." ”
Virtual technology can steal the information of the other party, but there is no way to know the judgment process and thoughts in the hearts of the people, which is the focus of today's interrogation.
The leader of the Kunde tribe knew that sooner or later there would be such a thing, and he did not dare to have the intention of concealing it, and at the same time, there was no point in concealing it, and he told the matter all over again with a heavy heart.
Listening to the other party's narration, Tarrokov typed content in the report from time to time, Han Xiao leaned over to take a look, and saw several words such as "xenophobia", "indigenous arrogance", "revenge culture", and "coexistence discomfort".
Aren't they good words...... He blinked.
This interrogation report is likely to influence the Empire's final treatment of the Kunde, and these words are undoubtedly dangerous.
After a while, the Kunde leader finally came to an end:
“…… Your arrival has robbed us of space for development, so we would rather find a new home undisturbed than live with you, which will only lead us to experience long-term, passive competition, and the development prospects of civilization will be limited. ”
Hearing this, Tarrokov nodded, too lazy to hide it, "You're right, we will never allow you to rise." ”
There are few civilizations that are saints, and the Red Empire develops the shining world, of course, it does not come with the idea of benefiting all sentient beings, and it has no intention of letting the natives rise at all, and the maximum kindness is just to leave some space and allow the other party to continue to live.
For most of the backward natives, it is not a bad thing, the three major civilizations use the interstellar society to assimilate them, which is equivalent to allowing them to get advanced enlightenment education, but for the Kunde tribe, a civilization that has a certain scale and has begun interstellar pioneering, it is an out-and-out disaster.
The three major civilizations have no interest in cultivating more stinky younger brothers who covet their dominance, which will inevitably stifle the development of higher indigenous civilizations.
From the bottom of his heart, the Red Empire actually did not hate the Kunde tribe's initiative to go to war, and it was just right to use force to conquer the other party's civilization.
"But......," Tarrokov said, "by now, as you must have figured out, the downed ship you got was provided by some of our adversaries for the purpose of using you as gunners and using you against us.
Their information contains real technology to enhance your strength, but the technology is true, but the information about the empire is a bunch of lies, and he does not tell you what level of strength the Red Empire has, deliberately making you mistakenly think that it has the power to fight.
The fallen spaceship was a poisoned fruit, and under the sweetness of advanced technology, a deadly toxin was hidden.
Therefore, in your opinion, obtaining techniques such as ghost energy, jumping, and stargates is equivalent to filling the gap between the two sides' strength by half. You think you have got the same weapon as us, just like an ancient man and a modern man fighting, both holding a cold weapon in their hands, although the times are different, but the battle is still undecided, but the fact is that we have more weapons in our hands than you are, just like you are still wielding a sword, we have a star destroyer cannon to shovel you along with the people and the planet.
As you can see, we have the possibility of living in peace, and although you will lose the upside, at least you can still ensure the independence of civilization, and it is sometimes a good choice to compromise and compromise. ”
Hearing this, the leader of the Kunde tribe shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Seeing the road ahead being blocked and indifferent, that's not what we Kunde do, we'd rather give it a go."
"Well said, a civilization without ambition has no future, I understand you, it is indeed undesirable to give up your homeland."
Tarrokov did not object, but nodded appreciatively, then slowed down his tone, shook his head, and said: "It's just that your only mistake is to choose the wrong opponent." ”
The Kunde leader hung his head.
He did not regret his choice, and his heart was still full of resentment.
However, what he hated most at this time was not the Red Empire, but the mastermind behind the Kunde clan as a gunman!
In his eyes, that is the root of their family!
"Alright, that's it, thank you for your cooperation."
At this time, Tarrokov stood up, summoned Han Xiao, and prepared to leave the interrogation room.
"Wait!"
The Kunde leader suddenly spoke, and his voice was low:
"You're not going to destroy us, you're going to keep us in captivity, are you?"
"Well, that's a possibility...... However, we will not resort to the physical means of intellectual castration that you have, but only culturally. ”
The Kunde leader understood, and took a deep breath, "So...... I'm going to die, right? ”
Tarrokov paused, did not choose to hide, nodded and said: "You are a symbol that makes people vent their anger, a target that makes people spurn, a lesson left in history, and a useful propaganda tool." ”
Han Xiao shook his head when he heard this.
These people spoke in a foggy manner, but fortunately he could understand it.
If the empire chooses cultural transformation, then it needs to choose a puppet to lead the Kunde tribe, and the puppet candidate will never be the leader of the Kunde tribe.
The role of this guy is to be used as a marionette by the empire and perform a grand pot throwing ceremony.
And the scene will end with his execution.
"I understand that mistakes need to be carried by one person, and I don't care if I leave a bad name." The leader of the Kunde tribe has long been determined to die, "I can fully cooperate with you in this play, but I have two requests...... You don't have to look at me like that, I know I'm not qualified to put forward conditions, but I can only say to you, you just take this as my last wish. ”
“…… Say it, then. ”
"First, we have already surrendered, it doesn't matter if you kill me, but I hope that other compatriots can be properly resettled and not die again, and second, ......"
The Kunde leader's tone suddenly became hideous, "I'm going to pay the price for the people who used us behind the scenes!" ”
When the words fell, Tarrokov was indifferent, as if he hadn't heard, turned and left.
Seeing this, the Kunde leader silently bowed his head.
He knew in his heart that the other party would not accept his request, but today may be the last chance to speak, and he has no choice.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared in his lowered field of vision.
The leader of the Kunde clan looked up, only to see the man in black who had been beside him without saying a word after entering the door, and who did not know the details of the details, walked up to him and looked down at him condescendingly.
Before he could wonder, what he heard next made him almost jump in shock, suspecting that something was wrong with his ears.
"I took your request."
“!!”
The Kunde leader was stunned.
Tarrokov stopped and turned his head suddenly, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
Han Xiao looked calm and continued:
"I will report to the empire that I will place your people in my territory and take care of them as much as possible, and it will not be difficult to make the culprits behind the scenes pay the price."
He is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, just when the leader of the Kunde clan put forward his last wish, a new task really popped up on the panel, and he guessed it.
The moment he saw the requirements and rewards, Han Xiao decided-this task, he had to take it!
"Who are you?!"
Hearing this, the Kunde clan leader finally couldn't help but ask Han Xiao about his details.
"You can call me Blackstar, as for who I am...... Well, my title is long, and I guess you don't understand what it means, so you only need to know one thing......"
Han Xiao smiled slightly.
"I alone can overthrow your entire civilization."
