“The power of this particle black hole collapse bomb is too great…”

Zhao Yu didn't expect that his 100 escort ships, located 450,000 kilometers away from the enemy's shuttle ship, couldn't escape the onslaught and turned into fragments.

“True, we are only 380,000 kilometers away from the Earth. If such a particle black hole collapse bomb explodes on the Earth, we might not be able to escape either…”

Uncle Da looked solemn, and said, “After some analysis, I realized that our ships were destroyed by the gravitational waves emanating from the black hole's expansion…”

“With such a force, we don't seem to have any effective defense measures…”

This implies that if an enemy particle black hole collapse bomb explodes nearby, it signifies death.

“Indeed it's terrifying. Fortunately, this weapon can only be launched by a spacecraft…”

Zhao Yu sighed, then asked, “What's the situation on the front line?”

“Commander, the enemy's battleships have retreated and are anchored in the asteroid belt…”

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, then asked, “How long will it take to repair the bases near our Inferno Line?”

“We have lost 393 bases this time. The fifth base has over 500 spare bases. It will take three days to repair…”

“Then please repair them as soon as possible. Divert some resources to make bases, and replenish the fifth base as soon as possible…”

The enemy's offensive has temporarily slowed down, and Zhao Yu took a breather. Fortunately, everything was under Uncle Da's watchful eyes, so he didn't need to worry too much.

“Commander, the resources sent by Da Xia have been inspected by robots, there are no issues…”

Uncle Da paused for a moment, then said, “Regarding the destruction of the enemy's shuttle ship, the Earth Federation held a global mourning event…”

“Global mourning, how filial they are! They probably don't even know that the shuttle was headed their way, do they?” Zhao Yu chuckled, finding the situation absurd.

Uncle Da added, “However, Da Xia did not respond, and selectively disconnected the internet, blocking related information…”

“What are they trying to do?” Zhao Yu asked, puzzled.

“Judging by Da Xia's recent actions, 1 suspect they might be considering to side

with us…”

“Siding with us?!

“Yes!”

Uncle Da nodded and said, “I checked the public opinion on the Earth's network, and there are mainly two camps…”

“One camp advocates siding with us, thinking that we are close enough to easily destroy them…”

“The other camp firmly believes in the Universal Federation. They think we wouldn't dare to attack Earth and that the Universal Federation will eventually triumph…”

Zhao Yu asked, “Has the Moro fleet sent any more messages to the Earth?”

No!

“Has the Blue Star sent any messages?”

“Yes!”

Uncle Da nodded, “The Earth Federation expressed concern to the Moro fleet.

The content is quite disturbing; I'd rather not elaborate…”

“No matter what they say, just make sure we know what both sides are communicating…”

Zhao Yu hoped that the Moro fleet would trust the messages from the Earth. This way, he might be able to take advantage of the situation.

Having said that, seeing Uncle Da appear to have something more to say, he asked directly, “Is there anything else?”

“Yes!”

Uncle Da's face was complicated, “Da Xia says that if we need it, they can help.

Whether it's manpower or resources, they can provide as much as possible…”

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be intrigued, and asked, “What do you think? Are they telling the truth, or is this some kind of trick?”

“I have no idea…” Uncle Da shook his head. Deception among humans was not his strong suit.

“True or false, we'll know if we try…”

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yu finally said, “Tell Da Xia that we are in a tight situation on the front line and lack resources. We need their support…”

“Commander, we still have a lot of resources. They mine resources much slower than we do…”

“No, it's just a test!”

Zhao Yu calmly said, “If they harbor any double-dealings, they will surely send a message to the Moro fleet…”

“Also, I want to see what they mean by 'maximum support'!”

Uncle Da nodded. Since this touched on his blind spot, he could only follow Zhao Yu's instructions, “Understood, 1 will relay the message as you asked…”

“Senator Chu, what do you mean?!”

“To leave a way out for the people of Earth…”

“You're bringing Great Xia to death…”

“Who knows, maybe you are leading overseas to the abyss too…”

The conversation went nowhere and the phone line was cut.

“The Moon base has responded. They say they're under pressure on the front lines and need our support…”

In the Xia Du's Base, several council members gathered together. Everyone had a serious look on their faces. The atmosphere was heavy and quiet, with no one speaking for a long time.

After a while, Senator Sun took the lead to break the silence, “If the front lines are under pressure, can they hold on?”

Senator Chu gave him a sideways glance, “Regardless of who wins, fence-sitters will not end well…”

“Even if we back out now, when the future United Federation occupies the

Earth, we will become marginalized…”

“On the other hand, if we help them out now when they need it most, if the

Moon wins, we win…”

Senator Zhou was intrigued, “What are you suggesting?”

“Go all in!”

Colonel Chu stated seriously, “The cosmic environment is complex. We are like ants facing two mountains. We must climb one or the other. Waiting at the foot of the mountain, we will miss the opportunity, and never have the chance to reach the top again…”

“Only when we stand at the top can we truly understand the state of the universe and plan for the future…

“Both the Moon base and the United Federation could deceive us and ultimately destroy us. This is a mystery box, and until the very end, nobody knows who is right or wrong…”

“Now, overseas has chosen the United Federation, so we will choose the Moon base. Assuming that both sides don't end in certain death, we have a 50% chance of winning…”

The council members thought about this for a long while, and eventually agreed with Colonel Chu's words.

“In that case, you go and respond. See what support they need…”

Returning to the surface, Colonel Chu took out his holographic touch watch and dialed Zhao Yu's number.

Even though everyone trusted him and was willing to bet their nation's fate on his plan, he wasn't entirely sure himself. He was hoping to gain some confidence from Zhao Yu.

At the Moon Base, Zhao Yu looked at the incoming call in surprise. He was just a representative of the Blue Moon Technology Company. Why would they be calling him?

After some hesitation, he answered the call.

“Hello, Mr. Zhao!”

Helio!

Colonel Chu got straight to the point, “We plan to fully support the Moon. We're just not sure what they need us to do?”

“Full support?”

Zhao Yu responded with a grin that wasn't quite a grin, “Aren't you afraid of reprisals from the United Federation afterwards?”

Colonel Chu shook his head, “If the United Federation is truly as they say, then even if there's retaliation, it would be directed at us, not Da Xia…”

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, surprised at the resolution of Da Xia's top brass, and asked, “What do you think you can do?”

After a moment's contemplation, Colonel Chu responded, “In terms of technology, the Moon is strong. They don't need our help. All 1 can think of is manpower. We can't promise much else, but we Da Xia do have a lot of people…”

Zhao Yu also sank into thought, considering what Da Xia could do.

Seeing this, Colonel Chu asked, “Mr. Zhao, I've heard you say before that the universe follows the Dark Forest Theory. So, is this United Federation real or not?”

Zhao Yu laughed, “Do you believe what 1 say?”

“Just give it a try…”

“It's fake!”

Zhao Yu responded briefly without giving too much explanation.

“I understand now. Thank you, Mr. Zhao!”

After ending the call, Colonel Chu took a long sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

“Indeed, this Zhao Yu holds a high position. In such a short time, he knew even the contents of our communication…”

Throughout this call, although it seemed that Colonel Chu was asking questions, he was actually observing Zhao Yu's reactions.

He noticed that Zhao Yu looked relaxed, showing no signs of worry as if facing imminent destruction, seemingly unbothered by the threat of the 'United Federation'.

This meant one thing: the Moon base had enough confidence to deal with the 'United Federation'.

Moreover, based on Zhao Yu's reaction, Colonel Chu inferred that the Moon base currently had no intentions of destroying the Earth.

Previously, based on the information relayed by Zhang Tao and others, as well as Zhao Yu's behavior on Earth, it was clear that he had his own individual personality, with joys and sorrows.

So, when he learned that the Earth was to be destroyed, given his background as a former Earth resident, he might show emotions of sorrow, unease, or guilt when dealing with the Earth representative, at the very least he wouldn't be as relaxed as he was now.

From this, it could be inferred that the Moon base had no plans to destroy the Earth. The question remained, however, as to what their ultimate purpose was for keeping the Earth.

After some thought, Colonel Chu said, “Send a message to the Moon. Da Xia is willing to stand or fall with them, and if necessary, we can mobilize 1.5 billion people to join the war….”
