Chapter 2195 The Master of High Meritorious Service, All the Birds Are Hidden in the Bow!
Li Yao secretly clicked his tongue. If the imperial government is considered as a whole, this General Lei Chenghu is a well-deserved "Military Boss".
Li Linghai said: "When the empire finally launched a strategic counterattack, it was General Lei Chenghu's troops who took the lead. They were the first to rush into the five worlds, including Heifeng, which had been occupied by the Holy League for a hundred years. Restoration also cleared the way for the massive offensive of the follow-up troops.
"For the next ten years, General Lei Chenghu's Thunder Fleet has been galloping on the most difficult battlefields, and fought bloody battles with the Holy League many times to the point of being shattered and almost lost its organization.
"Frightened by the prestige of General Lei Chenghu and the love of the mid- and lower-level officers, coupled with the urgent need to open up the situation at the time of the war, even the four major elector families did not dare to make a move on the replenishment and reconstruction of the Thunder Fleet. The most cutting-edge warships that have just been refined can only be transferred to General Lei's command again and again.
"Of course, the troops of the four major elector families will not easily obey General Lei's urging, so the sources of troops added to the Thunder Fleet are often those local troops and miscellaneous troops that were defeated in bloody battles.
"For more than ten years of strategic counter-offensive, countless troops have been destroyed and lost their titles. These demoralized and defeated soldiers will be rubbish that no one wants, lest they will spread the malaise to other troops, but General Lei Chenghu did not refuse anyone who came, and accepted them all.
"After repeated bloody battles, General Lei's troops have long since turned into a hodgepodge of various sources, gathering remnants from all over the Star Sea.
"There are even many people who admire General Lei's charisma and illustrious military exploits. They obviously have a better place to go, but they take the initiative to defect to General Lei's command, which makes the composition of Thunder Fleet even more complicated.
"Such a 'chowder troop' would be a mob in the hands of any commander, but General Lei Chenghu has incredible supernatural powers, able to train the mob into elites in the shortest possible time, and empower them and the enemy The courage to burn jade and stone.
"General Lei Chenghu may not be the best military master in the empire, but when it comes to training troops, he is recognized as the strongest in the empire!
"In short, General Lei Chenghu led such a mish-mash army, always rushing to the front line against the Holy League, and made great contributions to the empire.
"Right now, the situation is a little stable. The Fourth Joint Fleet of the Expeditionary Force under General Lei Chenghu, also known as the 'Thunder Fleet', has the largest number of main warships, the best equipment, and the most powerful battleships in addition to the four major elector systems. The strongest fleet, and in terms of fighting will, it is even far superior to the private soldiers of the elector. Cowards who are afraid of death, nor selfish villains, are all motivated by the purest ideals, willing to throw their heads and shed blood to defend the empire, the best soldiers!
"Currently, General Lei Chenghu is in command of the Fourth Combined Fleet of the Expeditionary Force as a super admiral of the Imperial Army, and serves as the commander of the Third Theater. The resource planet also has two distorted star fields that are very suitable for large-scale fleets to collectively jump, and they are the hubs that military strategists must contend for."
After listening to Li Linghai's introduction, Li Yao was stunned for a long time and said: General Lei Chenghu is really the "giant pillar and golden beam" of the empire. How dare the four major elector families go so mad that they just want to fight innovation It's just a faction, and it involves such a military boss, isn't he afraid of changes on the front line? "
"You are wrong."
Li Linghai said quietly, "After all, it is the four major elector families who want to deal with the reformers and sweep away General Lei Chenghu; or the main target of the four major elector families is General Lei Chenghu, and dealing with our reformers is just a smoke bomb It's still unknown!"
Li Yao pondered for a moment, then stared wide-eyed: "Your meritorious deeds are so powerful, are all the birds hidden?"
"That's right, I still remember when I introduced the situation of the empire a few days ago, I said that after more than ten years of bloody battles, the armies scattered in various worlds of the empire have gathered together and gradually awakened the will of the 'military'. Longing for your own voice?"
Li Linghai smiled slightly, and said, "Guess what, if the 'military' really wants to get rid of the control of the four major elector families and grow into an independent behemoth, who will it choose to be its leader?"
Li Yao blurted out: "General Lei Chenghu?"
"correct!"
Li Linghai said, "General Lei Chenghu is almost a flawless imperial hero, no one can match his prestige, military exploits, charisma, or stalwart image in the eyes of many grassroots officers and soldiers. The word 'God of War' , absolutely worthy of the name.
"If the military wants to get rid of the control of the four major elector families and even the Senate, it is not enough to rely solely on the radical actions of the 'Blood League'. It also needs real important military leaders to lead them. Lei Chenghu The general is the only candidate!"
Li Yao thought for a while, and said, "What does General Lei Chenghu mean by himself? What does he think of the so-called 'reformers'?"
"General Lei Chenghu's attitude is not important. I believe that General Lei has no intention of leading the army to rebel against the Senate, and he will not have anything to do with the "Blood League". I will not destroy the family to relieve difficulties, and come out to fight the Holy League to the death. I absolutely believe that General Lei will fight his whole life and risk everything, just for the four words of "serving the country with allegiance."
Li Linghai said, "It's just that, since he bears the name of 'God of War', many things cannot be avoided by General Lei, including being summoned and instigated by extremist organizations in the army such as the 'Blood Alliance' under the guise of his name. Other officers and soldiers, even when the time is right, are lifted up by countless fanatical young officers and pushed onto a throne that he does not want to sit on!"
Li Yao's pupils contracted to the extreme: "Understood, that's the 'yellow robe added'!"
Li Linghai was slightly taken aback: "What does adding the yellow robe mean?"
Li Yao blinked: "Uh, this is an allusion from our Firefly, don't worry about it, it has the same meaning as what you want to say, I can fully understand the delicate situation of General Lei Chenghu."
"Then you should be able to understand better why the four major elector families took the risk of instability on the front line to deal with General Lei Chenghu quickly, rather than our reformers, right?"
Li Linghai sneered and said, "A hundred years ago, the four major elector families were not in a hurry to deal with General Lei, not because they were merciless, but because General Lei hadn't posed enough threat at that time, and when the front line was also employing people, there was an urgent need for someone like General Lei 'Mars'.
"But now, the independence of the military is getting stronger day by day, the stance of young officers at the grassroots level is getting more radical day by day, and General Lei's prestige is growing day by day.
"Coupled with the fact that the Holy League has thrown away its helmets and armor, is defeated, and it seems that it will no longer be a major threat to the empire for decades, isn't it the best time to 'cook the rabbit to death, and the bird to hide'?
"God of War, huh, God of War! In a millennium-old empire dominated by nobles and powerful clans, how could a man known as the 'God of War' end up in a good way?"
Li Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Since General Lei's prestige in the army is so high, how could that so-called 'Special Investigation Committee' easily take General Lei away from the Thunder Fleet?"
"General Lei took the initiative to go with them."
Li Linghai sighed, "You don't know General Lei, he is a pure soldier, the kind of soldier whose vocation is to obey orders, and the Senate represents the glory of the empire. Before completely despairing, he will only obey the orders of the Senate unconditionally.
"So, the investigation committee doesn't need many people at all. Even if it sends two helpless civil servants, General Lei will leave his fleet and follow them back to the lair of the four major elector families."
Li Yao was stunned for a long time, then smiled wryly, "I never thought there would be such a cultivator."
"General Lei is our ideal example of a soldier and a cultivator of immortals. Both his friends and enemies have to admire his great personality."
Li Linghai said, "Many people say that General Lei was born in the wrong age. He should have been born in the era of Emperor Black Star a thousand years ago, that real human empire that was full of vigor, determination, fairness and integrity.
"If that's the case, perhaps he would have helped the Black Star Emperor destroy the covenant alliance as the marshal of the empire, at least he could wipe out all the remnants of the old nobles and clansmen!"
Li Yao rolled his eyes twice, and said, "Hearing what Her Royal Highness said, I think General Lei Chenghu has the demeanor of a cultivator!"
Li Linghai smiled slightly: "I know what you are thinking, do you think there is a chance to transform General Lei into a cultivator? Then you are very wrong, be careful, if you can meet General Lei one day, don't reveal your cultivation General Lei hates cultivators because of his status as a cultivator."
Li Yao was stunned: "Why?"
"General Lei is one of the most determined cultivators. He has suppressed several riots by cultivators."
Li Linghai said, "Of course, that may not be a 'real cultivator', at least not a riot organized by Starlight. Many star thieves and privateer fleets like to operate under the banner of cultivators. Who can tell if it's true or not?" clear?
"Seeing the vicious appearance of these 'cultivators', and seeing the ignorance and madness of the ignorant people incited by them, do you think General Lei still has any good feelings for the cultivators, no matter the Holy League, the demon or Cultivators are all the same in the eyes of General Lei, they are all enemies of the empire!"
