Everyone's playing Red Giant? I, Black Hole, devour everything!

After hanging up the call, Lin Tian did not immediately make the news public.

He first returned to his office, retrieved the relevant records about Oppenheimer Limit and critical state objects from the Ayers database, and re-verified his judgment.

Half an hour later, he confirmed that it was correct.

The Amaterasu Project is indeed a superneutron star project.

And there's really nothing to be afraid of.

He then sent the message to the Black Hole Legion's internal communication channel.

As expected, the channel quickly became lively.

"A superneutron star? Has Japan been pushed to the brink? They're even willing to build such a suicide weapon?"

"There's nothing they can do; they can't beat us head-on, so they have to resort to underhanded tactics. But no matter how underhanded their tactics are, they can't stop Teacher Lin's countermeasures."

"Exactly, Professor Lin is right. They're building bombs, not weapons. We just need to give them a push before they collapse, and then the black hole army will just have to go and swallow them up."

"We'll need to ask Professor Lin to lead the team to finish things up, since quasars are the most suitable for swallowing black holes."

Su Li's voice also joined in.

"Lin Tian, ​​when are you going to take us to Japan for a trip? My black hole's mass is about to reach 500,000 if it swallows anything else; it desperately needs a real-world test!"

"Wait a little longer," Lin Tian replied, as concise as ever.

"Wait until the expansion is complete?"

"Um."

"Alright then, but you have to promise me you'll be leading the charge! Nobody can take my place!"

Fang Yan replied helplessly, "I know, you have the best record in the legion, so you'll go first."

"That's more like it."

……

After receiving Lin Tian's answer, the high-ranking military officials of the Great Xia Kingdom were relieved.

Prior to this, some had advocated taking action ahead of time, preemptively striking before the Amaterasu Project was completed.

Some also advocate increasing the defensive forces in major star sectors to prevent a surprise attack by the Sakura Kingdom.

But Lin Tian's judgment calmed everyone down.

Mr. Chen only said one sentence at the internal meeting.

"Since Professor Lin has already seen through the opponent's trump card, let's hold back and wait for the expansion to be completed before proceeding with everything as originally planned."

As a result, the people of the Great Xia Kingdom continued their training and devouring as if nothing had happened in the Sakura Kingdom.

……

Time passed slowly, and another three months went by.

In these three months, the Black Hole Legion underwent two more rounds of expansion.

More than three million people participated in the selection process, and more than five hundred were ultimately selected.

Finally, after various training programs, more than 300 people completed the transformation.

The number of members in the Black Hole Legion has officially exceeded five hundred.

The expansion is complete.

……

The next morning, Lin Tian's communicator rang.

It was an urgent notice from the military headquarters.

The military headquarters of the Great Xia Kingdom held a top-level strategic meeting in the capital.

As the commander of the Black Hole Task Force, Lin Tian had to be present.

The meeting was scheduled for 9:00 AM.

When Lin Tian entered the conference hall of the Beijing Military Headquarters, it was already filled with a sea of ​​shoulder insignia.

There were more than 20 officers of the rank of major general or above, plus representatives from the National Strategic Planning Committee and the advisory team from the Ministry of Science and Technology, totaling no less than 100 people.

This was a rare large-scale high-level meeting in the history of the Great Xia Kingdom's military.

Zhou Zhenguo sat to the left of the main seat, and Zhao Yuanshan sat to the right.

The spot in the very center was empty—that was reserved for Old Chen.

Old Chen didn't keep everyone waiting for too long.

At 9:00 sharp, Mr. Chen entered the conference hall on time.

Everyone stood up.

"sit."

Old Chen waved his hand and walked straight to the main seat to sit down.

His gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Lin Tian.

"Professor Lin, today's meeting has only one theme—the land of cherry blossoms."

"As the commander of the Black Hole Task Force, please share your thoughts first."

Lin Tian stood up and marked the location of the first star sector of the Sakura Kingdom on the holographic star map.

"Gentlemen, my view is very simple."

"Advance the battlefield from the border of the Seventh Star Sector to the mainland of the Sakura Country."

"Then we gradually approached the center of the cherry blossom country."

"Declare war on the land of cherry blossoms."

The meeting room was silent for about three seconds.

Then, a low commotion arose.

To advance into the mainland of Japan.

Declare war on the Sakura Kingdom.

This marks the first time since the start of the cosmic struggle that the Great Xia Kingdom has taken the initiative to attack.

Such courage would have been unimaginable just a few months ago.

Zhou Zhenguo was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "What about the strategic objectives?"

"Destroy the main force of the neutron star of the Sakura Kingdom, completely annihilate the resistance forces of the Sakura Kingdom, and make the Sakura Kingdom completely withdraw from the stage of the space battle for supremacy."

"At the same time, acquire all the technology of the Gravity Shield."

No sooner had Lin Tian finished speaking than Zhao Yuanshan announced, "The Ninth Legion is ready to depart at any time! The Black Hole Legion will lead the vanguard, followed closely by the main force of the Ninth Legion!"

Old Chen didn't speak, but just quietly looked at the marked red area on the holographic star map.

After a long while, he slowly spoke.

"This is the first time in a century that the Great Xia Kingdom has conducted a military operation of this scale overseas."

"Do you have confidence?"

"Yes," Lin Tian replied with a single word.

"Then let's fight."

Old Chen stood up.

"From this moment forward, the Great Xia Kingdom officially declares war on the Sakura Kingdom."

"Lin Tian, ​​you will lead the Black Hole Legion as the vanguard."

"Zhao Yuanshan, you lead the main force of the Ninth Army Corps and follow closely behind."

"Do not reveal our true intentions before reaching the first sector!"

"Conquer the first star sector of Japan and seize the Gravity Shield technology immediately!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yuanshan and Lin Tian stood up at the same time.

All the officers present stood up at the same time.

Hundreds of voices merged into a torrent.

"yes!"

……

The news that the Great Xia Kingdom had declared war on the Sakura Kingdom spread throughout the world that evening.

The international channel was in an uproar.

"My God, the Great Xia Kingdom has really declared war?! Are you kidding me?!"

"The announcement has been made! Nationwide war! Open declaration of war! The goal is to annihilate the Sakura Nation!"

"Holy crap! Fighting from the border of the Seventh Star Sector all the way to the mainland of Japan?! That's over 8,000 light-years away?!"

"Eight thousand light-years is nothing! At the speed of the Black Hole Legion, combined with acceleration cards and warp engines, they could reach the center of Japan in a few dozen hours at most!"

"I heard that Lin Tian is personally leading the team this time, and the entire Black Hole Legion is mobilized! This lineup is terrifying; what can Japan possibly do against them?"

"What a load of rubbish! The main force of the Japanese nation has already lost 1,600 neutron stars in the Seventh Star Sector. Now they probably can't even scrape together 500 more."

"Not only the main force, but it's said that more than half of the Amaterasu Society's top leadership has also collapsed! The entire leadership of Japan is now a disorganized mess!"

"What about the United States? Isn't the United States an ally of Japan? Aren't they going to lend a hand?"

"Help my ass! The US lost 1,200 antimatter bombs in the Seventh Sector last time, and not a single one went off. They're arguing about it in Congress now!"

"You can't say that. The United States is the strongest country on Earth, and they have many trump cards up their sleeves. I heard that Congress has passed the 'New Manhattan' plan, which aims to create thirty black holes within a year. But for now, it's too late to solve the immediate problem."

"So Japan has to rely on itself now? How can they fight the Black Hole Legion on their own?"

"If you can't fight, then just wait to die!"

On the international channel, various voices rose and fell.

Some were shocked, some were excited, some were worried, and some were gloating.

But within the Great Xia Kingdom, there was only one voice on the public channels.

boiling.

Completely boiling over.

"War has been declared!!! War has been declared!!!"

"Brothers! The Great Xia Kingdom has finally taken the initiative!!!"

"This is the true value of Father Lin! Without the Black Hole Legion, we wouldn't have been able to launch this proactive attack today!"

"Daddy Lin is awesome!!!"

"Daddy Lin is awesome!!!"

"Daddy Lin is awesome!!!"

The news swept across all thirty-four star sectors of the Great Xia Kingdom like a tsunami.

Tens of millions of viewers flooded the public channels, their emotions rising higher and higher.

Amidst the clamor in the Great Xia Kingdom, the Beacon of Light, the Bear Kingdom, the British Empire, and the Gallic Empire all fell silent.

Everyone understood one thing: this time, the Great Xia Kingdom was serious.

They truly intend to completely wipe Japan out of the space race.

The rest of the world could only watch helplessly.
