Chapter 365: The Real War (Added for everyone's recommendation votes)_1

Ai AA didn't understand, "You're a Wallfacer, do you really need to take such a risk?"

"I believe in my subordinates!" A smile finally appeared on Jiang Yu's face, "Should a Wallfacer just sit in the safest place, waving a Feather Fan and directing the overall situation?

"Not at all. In my view, I myself can be used as well!

"Didn't I just make good use of myself this time? I was responsible for being the bait that Sophon absolutely wouldn't ignore, while the First Legion was in charge of setting up the ambush.

"Even if Sophon knew there was an ambush, she would still give it a try, just like sixty-two years ago, she's too eager to kill me!

"Just today, the warships from Fleet International that withdrew from Jupiter sustained heavy damage and can no longer threaten the First Legion!"

Ai AA and Cheng Xin still watched the explosions appearing in the sky, which seemed to them like the most dazzling fireworks.

Jiang Yu said, "The real war is about to break out in the Kuiper Belt, and we are confident we can eliminate the Trisolaran vanguard!"

Cheng Xin suddenly snapped out of it, "But the Trisolaran Second Fleet will arrive in three years!"

Jiang Yu spread his hands, "The entire Solar System State has already been mobilized, and we will fight the invaders to the end."

A glint of mercy flashed in Cheng Xin's eyes, "Do you plan to fill the ranks with human lives, right?"

"Don't talk as if you're so noble and outstanding!" Jiang Yu once again spoke with some anger, "The reason PDC and Fleet International are facing the predicament they are now is because of ideas like yours.

"Sophon was right about one thing: survival has always been a matter of luck. It was true on the old Earth, and it is the same throughout this cold universe. But somehow, humanity came under the illusion that survival became something easily attained, which is the fundamental reason for your failure.

"Humanity doesn't have the right to talk about universal unity or morality!

"Survival!

"Without survival, who are you going to talk to, ghosts?"

Jiang Yu paused for a moment, "The Solar System State will survive, while PDC and Fleet International will live a life worse than death in the days to come!"

He looked toward Ai AA, "I heard you joined the Resistance Army, and I had high hopes for you, but it turns out you're still a disappointment."

Ai AA said, "Resisting means killing our kin, and I don't want to kill our kin!"

Jiang Yu said disappointedly, "You don't even know who humanity's enemies are."

Ai AA retorted, "Are your enemies humanity? Is your war about slaughtering your kin?"

"Fool!" Jiang Yu sighed, "You don't even know the answer to such a simple question. My enemies have always been the Trisolarans!

"In the war between Earth and Jupiter, the Solar System State never put in its full effort, while PDC and Fleet International acted like mad dogs.

"Because we all know that our enemy is in the Kuiper Belt!

"And for you spineless people, the Trisolarans will take care of you for us, as we are currently too busy to deal with you!"

Jiang Yu waved his hand, "I've done my part as bait, time to head back."

He then said to Ai AA, "I'll give you one last chance, do you want to join the Resistance Army?"

Ai AA hesitated for a few seconds, then shook his head, "I can't leave, or Cheng Xin will be left alone.

"Even if she's wrong, she doesn't deserve this."

Jiang Yu nodded, waving his hand in the air, "Everyone should be responsible for their own choices!"

His personal mech swooped in, and after entering the mech, a squad of J135 escorted him back to Desert North Farm.

Cheng Xin and Ai AA watched Jiang Yu leave with mixed emotions. At that moment, Cheng Xin thought about joining the Resistance Army, but then she thought of having to face her kin as enemies, and she hesitated again.

It was only after that group of J135 vanished into the sky that Ai AA suddenly realized something, "When did Sophon say that? Did she say it to Jiang Yu alone?"

```

...

Today, the power of Desert North Farm consisted not only of the methodical expansion of its territory but also of providing whatever help it could to the Resistance Army.

Sophon's mass migration acted like a sieve, with the Resistance Army resembling the fine grains of sand passing through it. They were easy to distinguish; any fighter wandering through the desolate cities belonged to the Resistance Army.

Cao Bin and Bi Yunfeng were the spiritual leaders of the Resistance Army. Only after making contact with the First Legion did they realize how outrageous the propaganda from PDC and Fleet International regarding the Solar System State had been.

Almost all members of the Resistance Army gladly accepted citizenship of the Solar System State.

It wasn't until Sophon recruited a new force of ten million pseudo-soldiers and threw them into battle that PDC's combat strength began to rise.

These people had been basically brainwashed by the Trisolarans, fighting desperately for the bright future Sophon promised them.

Meanwhile, the First Legion continued to grow, particularly with the influx of Resistance Army personnel, which maintained a certain advantage for the legion.

In Jiang Yu's view, neither PDC nor Fleet International posed any threat anymore.

In Sophon's view, the Solar System State had no real intention of completely erasing PDC and Fleet International. Instead, a stalemate could temporarily be established between Earth and the Solar System State.

Thus, their attention shifted to the Kuiper Belt.

The war there would determine the course of the war on Earth.

Jiang Yu took a spaceship to the Kuiper Belt, ready to supervise the battle personally.

Most of Sophon's attention was also focused there.

...

A year after deterrence, in May, from the sun at 676 astronomical units.

The vanguard led by Wu Xinghai, the commander of the Second Legion, was only sixty astronomical units away from the Trisolaran's advance squad.

Wu Xinghai, in the command room, watched the virtual sandtable of both sides while his staff reported the latest military situation: "The enemy's middle sixteen warships have maintained this position for over half an hour.

"The rest of the warships seem to be in a protective stance!"

Wu Xinghai asked the technology staff officer, "What do you think?"

The technology staff officer shook his head, "We have too little intelligence."

Wu Xinghai made a snap decision, "Issue a warning to the entire army, use 'Gravitational Tearing' to disrupt their formation!

"Even if they are sound asleep there, we cannot let them sleep in peace!

"All warships, full speed ahead! Maintain a dispersed formation!"

Currently, 'Gravitational Tearing' was the only weapon that could reach beyond sixty astronomical units. A few more units forward, and an increasing array of weapons would be able to hit the enemy vessels!

Following Wu Xinghai's orders, twenty warships broke away from the main fleet and operated at full capacity.

Just over twenty seconds later, violent fluctuations occurred in the gravitational field surrounding the Trisolaran Interstellar Fleet, sixty astronomical units away.

A small black hole was spontaneously forming in the midst of the Trisolaran fleet.

Sixty astronomical units was still an incredibly vast distance, even more remote than the furthest range between the Sun and Pluto's orbit.

However, the Academy's related groups discovered that gravity was a force that could cross dimensions, that it could "take shortcuts."

This led to a contradiction because more and more evidence suggested that the universe existed in a three-dimensional state, yet strangely, some four-dimensional traits could still be exploited.

Rediaz didn't care about these academic contradictions; as long as it was effective, he would quickly weaponize it.
