Chapter 2183 You Are a Good Omen

In addition to the Deep Sea Fleet, the Ten Thousand Worlds Merchant Alliance, and the Tribunal of the Demon Tribunal, the fourth force that tends to be innovative is the more radical young and middle-aged grassroots officers in the imperial army.

At this moment, hundreds of young soldiers from all over the world are gathering on the front line, shedding their youth and blood together, hoping to water the flowers called ambition and hope. The magnificent, magnificent and cruel star sea wars in the past ten years have been over. Completely shaped them into machines of killing and destruction.

It is simply impossible to stop the rumbling war machine with one order, stop the rumbling war machine, and prevent these hungry young officers from making trouble.

However, the army is the most sensitive place after all. Nobles and warlords naturally have extremely strict control over their fleets. Li Linghai's tentacles dare not rush into the army, except to find ways to rescue dissatisfied elements in the army and join the deep sea fleet. , Now is not the time to infiltrate the army with great fanfare.

As for the fifth force, it was somewhat beyond Li Yao's expectations.

That is the opposition within the four major elector families.

But thinking about it carefully, it is reasonable that the strongest fortress is always breached from the inside. Isn't the Empress Li Linghai herself the opposition from the four major elector families?

And her own brother, Li Lingfeng, who was identified as the next Patriarch and even the Emperor Elector, also didn't believe in the rhetoric of the family's top brass, and did everything possible to build his own power, secretly having a huge unknown plan.

There is no way, the law of "the strong prey on the weak" is not only shrouded in the rich and poor, nobles and commoners, but also within the rich, all kinds of struggles for power, open and secret fights, life and death are commonplace, and even more tragic.

Where there is struggle, there are losers. Many losers who have nothing and nowhere to go will sacrifice their entire family for their own ambitions and interests.

The Deep Sea Fleet provided military support, the Ten Thousand Worlds Business Alliance provided funds and information, and the Heavenly Demon Tribunal specialized in some shady and dark deeds. These were the three pillars of the Imperial Queen Li Linghai.

Coupled with the dissatisfaction and innovation tendency of God's Communist Party, at least the young and middle-aged grassroots military officer alliance who are more sympathetic to them, and the guys who have failed in the internal struggle of the four major elector families and are eager to turn the tables or even completely overthrow the table, they form innovations. The basic lineup of the pie.

"Not only that, in addition to these five forces, there are also very sharp contradictions among the nobles and warlords, which can be used by us."

Li Linghai explained, "The four major elector families are not monolithic, and the conflicts of interest between them are very serious, especially the three major families including the Li family, and the Dongfang family, the 'first family' that is now the most wealthy and powerful. inside.

"At the beginning of the birth of the True Human Empire, the old nobles and clans, including the current four major elector families, still felt sorry for each other, huddled together to keep warm, and struggled to check and balance the Emperor at that time.

"At that time, everyone's strength was not considered strong, and His Majesty the Emperor was the biggest opponent. Only by uniting can we survive.

"But with the decline of the imperial power, the four major elector families stand out and rise strongly. His Majesty the Emperor has long been no threat, and there is naturally a gap between them.

"Especially in the past two to three hundred years, the power of the Dongfang family has continued to expand, and its tentacles have penetrated deeply into key fields such as finance, transportation, energy, and military industry of the empire, forming a monopoly in many fields, not only for the emperor and low-level cultivators Or even pose a threat to the other three major families.

"Although the other three families, including the Li family, did not express anything publicly, they were naturally extremely dissatisfied in their hearts. Many of the three families united against the Dongfang family, just like the four families in the past united to check and balance His Majesty the Emperor.

"This time the 'Empire Strikes Back' has achieved a brilliant victory, regaining dozens of important industrial worlds with deep foundations in one go, and it is very likely to reverse the balance of power among the four major elector families, so on the issue of how to carve up, No one will give in easily, and it is very likely to tear the face.

"Dogs eat dogs within the enemy is a great opportunity for our reformers to grow stronger!

"As far as we are concerned, on the one hand, we will continue to lurk our minions to endure for a period of time, but we are secretly calling on the army, small and medium-sized nobles and warlords, and the world lords of remote worlds...all the forces that can be united, and continue to expand the strength of the opposition camp , until the balance of strength between the two sides is completely reversed.

"On the other hand, before we have accumulated enough strength, we might as well make some deals with the other three major families, so that everyone can unite and bring down the Dongfang family together!

"The Dongfang family is one of the four major elector families. Many people say that the Dongfang family is the 'first family' of the empire. It is the first shot of the complete collapse of the old order, as long as this shot is blasted in the center of power, there will be no power to stop us from reforming the empire!"

Li Linghai slashed his hand down fiercely, as if a huge family that had lasted for thousands of years was completely chopped into pieces with one knife.

Taking a deep breath, he turned his expectant gaze to Li Yao: "I never thought that apart from fighting, you are such an outstanding master craftsman, God help me!

"I have a vague premonition that your coming is a great auspicious sign, symbolizing that our reformists and the new empire are as unstoppable as the rising sun, shining brightly!

"Now, the only flaw 'Li Lingfeng' has been completely erased, and everything is progressing in an orderly manner according to my plan. With your strong joining, it is like adding wings to a tiger. Our glory will come soon!"

Li Yao hesitated to speak: "Uh..."

Li Linghai frowned: "Why, are you still struggling with your way?"

"That's not true."

Li Yao thought for a while, and said, "It's just that I'm flattered and ashamed of the word 'auspicious omen'. To be honest, I've lived such an old age, and no one has ever said that I'm an 'auspicious omen'. , Also, every time I hear someone say 'everything is under control', 'everything is under plan', it seems that something will happen soon..."

"Um?"

Li Linghai was slightly taken aback, and at this moment, the crystal brain on her wrist vibrated crazily.

It seemed to be a very private communication channel, because Li Linghai pondered for a moment before opening it in front of Li Yao and Li Jialing.

A moment later, Li Linghai's ambitions were all frozen, as if an ice pick had been poked out of every pore.

"problem occurs."

She gritted her teeth and forcefully squeezed out three words from between her teeth.

...

Go back in time for three days.

The second quadrant of the Real Human Empire, the fourth cantilever, the Qinglan Realm, and the Qinglan Star.

The Qinglan Realm was one of the Great Thousand Worlds closest to the front line before the empire launched a magnificent strategic counter-offensive.

It is logical to become the base camp of the expeditionary force in the early stage of the war and the transfer base of logistics materials.

With the victory of the emperor, the front continued to move forward, and now the base camp of the expeditionary force has moved to the newly recovered Great Thousand World.

But the logistics base of the huge Imperial Expeditionary Force with hundreds of thousands of starships is still set up here.

Every day, hundreds of millions of tons of materials are continuously transported here from the resource planets in the corners of hundreds of worlds in the entire empire. After sorting and counting here, they are transported to the front-line fleets.

The special geographical location and the needs of the war made Qinglan star deformed and prospered. Most of the people in Qinglan lost a few war fortunes, and their lives were much better than before the war.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Qinglan people are the ethnic group that most support the empire and this war from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, in order to celebrate that the front line has just recovered a negligible resource planet, a large-scale triumphant ceremony was staged again in Qinglanxing's mansion.

Xuanguang rendered the entire sky into the appearance of the three-star blitzkrieg flag, balloons depicting eagles and iron fists are everywhere, the streets and alleys are decorated with lights, and no matter real people or original people stand on tiptoe and wait for the majestic imperial armorers swarm And the ground attack starship appeared, and everyone shouted hoarsely: "Long live! Long live the empire! Long live the cultivators! Long live human civilization!"

When Dongfang Tuo stepped onto the military parade on the side of the main road in the central square of the government office, he was immediately overwhelmed by the roar of mountains and tsunami.

Before the war broke out, Dongfang Tuo, like other immortal cultivators, was full of excitement and pride in the face of such a fanatical and "martial" crowd.

But when the battle is over, and you hear shouts like "Great Victory, Victory, Long Live the Emperor", this fairy-like, handsome oriental boss and one of the five hundred elders of the Imperial Senate 1. The president of the Imperial Exploration Bank and the head of the Armament Department of the Imperial Expeditionary Army Headquarters could only sigh helplessly and slightly frowned his drooping eyebrows.

"Great victory, great victory, one great victory after another, when will such a great victory be the first?"

Dongfang Tuo secretly thought.

For ordinary people or front-line grassroots officers, a great victory means military exploits, medals, and the infinite glory of the empire.

But only Dongfang Tuo, who is in charge of the resources and equipment of the expeditionary force, knows that every great victory means that more troops must be dispatched to garrison the newly recovered territory, which means longer and more fragile supply lines, which means Another "black hole" devouring infinite resources appeared. Such a black hole cannot be filled no matter what.

No matter how you look at it, the Imperial Army has reached the limit of its troop expansion, and can no longer bear such a "great victory".

but……

"Anyone can decide when to start a war, but not everyone can decide when to end a war!"

Dongfang Tuo somehow thought of such a sentence, and a bitter smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Naturally, he didn't let the wry smile that represented his true emotions stay for half a second, but he gave a dry cough, put on a solemn and solemn expression, and stood with his chest folded and belly swaggering, standing on top of the armor with medals and ribbons on his chest Among the high-level government and military leaders, welcome the triumphant army.

In the sky not far away, the "rumbling" of the low-altitude assault ship tearing through the clouds has already been faintly heard.

The ground began to tremble slightly, which represented that the iron hooves of the true human empire trampling on everything were getting closer.

At this moment, one of the five hundred elders of the empire didn't know that his life was only thirty-two minutes, forty-seven seconds.

And the one who was about to kill him was not the inhuman, flesh-and-blood machine-like members of the Holy League, but the emperor he was waiting for.
