Chapter 2201 Betting on the Fortune of the Country!

Dongfang Bai was really dumbfounded.

The three hyenas who wanted to devour the carcass of the giant beast suddenly realized that they were the prey shrouded in sharp fangs, and couldn't help trembling slightly under Lei Chenghu's gushing eyes.

"Are you kidding me?"

Dongfang Bai stammered.

Lei Chenghu smiled gloomily, his eyes were full of contempt and hatred for iron and steel, and he sighed: "You guys, you often hang slogans like 'natural selection, survival of the fittest' on On the other hand, when faced with a specific, very small number of dozens or hundreds of original people, they dare to trample and trample on the lives of each other, but when it comes to the real thing, they all become shrinking turtles.

"What kind of immortal cultivators are you, huh? You are just using the guise of immortal cultivators to satisfy your own selfish desires, show your strength in bullying the weak, and indulge in this boring pleasure that you can't extricate yourself. Waste, ants, poor worms That's all!

"These words are what I want to say to the Senate. I am responsible for every word I said, and there is no joke.

"Although I have confronted the Holy League on the front line of the Black Wind Realm for a hundred years, I strongly disapproved of launching a strategic counterattack rashly.

"But at that time the Senate had already issued a general mobilization for war, and I could only faithfully implement the orders of the Senate.

"When our army was so powerful all the way to the line of the 'Shenying Guhe' and conquered the 18 Great Thousand Worlds, I wrote to the Senate again, requesting to immediately switch from strategic offensive to strategic defense, and to conquer the eighteen Great Thousand Worlds." After working hard for at least fifty years, a new round of offensive can be launched.

"However, in the Senate and the base camp of the Expeditionary Army, those greedy and short-sighted guys threw my advice aside, and rushed forward like wild dogs that smelled meat. Until today, they devoured dozens of In the vast world, the division of troops and logistics pressure are too great to be added.

"At this moment, you all know that you are afraid, and you want to accept it when you see each other?

"Tell you, it's late!

"The members of the Holy League will never obediently watch the empire operate the Xinguang Fuxing District. For more than ten years, our army has conquered so many habitable planets and resource planets, but we have never caught the sign of the main force of the Holy League. It is the biggest hidden danger!

"I guarantee the head of the project, it won't be long, maybe when the princes above the temples of our empire are scheming and planning how to divide up the 'fruits of victory' they just got, the main force of the holy alliance will definitely start from the most unexpected Fight out the coordinates and launch the largest counterattack so far. If our army can't resist this counterattack, not only will we lose all the new worlds, but we will even completely lose the strategic initiative, exposing the entire hinterland to the blade of the Holy League , Let the enemy slaughter!

"It's not just riding a tiger, it's in jeopardy, it's ridiculous that you guys who sit in the back office, staring at the light screen of the crystal brain all day long, daydreaming, are still ignorant!

"The best defense is offense. Originally, I was not in favor of launching such an immature 'Empire Strikes Back', but now that the battle has reached this point, it is useless to oppose it. Instead of spreading precious troops to dozens of In a world that has just been recovered, resources are scarce, and the people have been severely brainwashed, in the predicament of being passively beaten and tied up everywhere, I would rather gather all my forces and continue to attack, attack, attack the hinterland of the Holy League!

"If you want to completely penetrate the last line of defense of the Holy League and force the main force of the enemy to come out for a strategic decisive battle, the scale of the expeditionary force must be expanded by at least 20%!"

20%!

Dongfang Bai and the other three examiners were completely dumbfounded, they looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless for a long time.

"I know there are difficulties in the rear, but there is nothing difficult in war."

Lei Chenghu said lightly, "I have carefully studied a series of economic policies and regulations on rewards and punishments implemented by the rear during the general mobilization, and found that you have neither clearly explained the great significance of this war and the dangerous situation the empire is currently facing to the public, nor It has not fully inspired the people's spirit of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and sacrifice everything for human civilization.

"In my opinion, the rear still has great potential to be tapped. I am writing an article "The Next Phase of Combat Strategy", which includes a 'concentration camp system', which was originally planned to target those brainwashed by the Holy League in the Xinguang Fuxing area It is seriously used by the public, but at such a critical moment, it is advisable to set up some "concentration camps" for some riots in the rear and the world polluted by the ideology of cultivators. I believe it will definitely greatly improve the original people's work efficiency and patriotic enthusiasm. At least, It can greatly reduce their consumption, save more resources, and ensure the supply of the front line.

"In short, the war has reached the most critical moment. The Empire and the Holy League are like horns against horns, panting and exhausted bulls. At this time, it depends on who collapses first and whoever shows the slightest sign of collapse, then all It's over!

"Yes, from now on, we must be prepared to fight another three to five years or even ten years of tough battles. If we want to win at least 50 billion people in the front and rear, I ask the Senate to carefully consider my proposal." Strategies."

Dongfang Bai swallowed hard, and took a step back.

It was as if the tiger in front of him, surrounded by ghost fire, would tear through the barriers of Xinghai and directly bite off his throat.

"The Senate will not agree to such a crazy proposal."

The spy chief of "Guangtong" swallowed his saliva with difficulty, his voice flickered like a candle in the wind, "What's more, the local nobles and warlords are complaining about the current supply of resources, and all kinds of open and secret confrontations , how can it be possible to strengthen the intensity of general mobilization?"

Lei Chenghu smiled, with an expression of "I know you can't do it" all over his face, he changed the topic and said: "If it can't be done, then prepare for a strategic retreat!"

Dongfang Bai was completely confused: "What?"

"It is doomed that it is impossible to keep all the dozens of worlds in Xinguang Fuxing District."

Lei Chenghu patiently explained that it was not for Dongfang Bai, but for the many veterans behind Dongfang Bai, "Especially the more than 20 Great Thousand Worlds that have been conquered in one go in the past three years are purely bait thrown by the Holy League. Yes, poisonous!

"If the Senate cannot continue to increase troops to the expeditionary force, I suggest that we take the initiative to abandon these twenty or so Great Thousand Worlds, and shrink the entire army to the front line of the 'Shen Ying Furukawa'. While concentrating our forces, we will also reduce the logistical pressure. Maybe there is a chance to resist The Holy League's Jedi counterattack.

"Of course, even if we choose this relatively conservative strategy and really retreat to the 'Shenying Furukawa' line, the expeditionary force must not be abolished. At least the current scale must be maintained and the highest command authority must be further concentrated in order to have sufficient combat effectiveness. , wait for the opportunity and the main force of the Holy League, a strategic decisive battle!"

"This is even more impossible!"

Dongfang Bai blurted out, "The enemy has already been defeated like a mountain and fled in desolation, but our army will retreat without fighting and voluntarily give up more than twenty Great Thousand Worlds, this is simply"

"Yes, it is indeed impossible. Those hungry dignitaries have long stretched their necks to share so many delicious and plump trophies. Who is willing to spit out the fat sent to their throats for nothing?"

Lei Chenghu shook his head and sighed, "Cowardice is not the way to defeat, neither is greed, but being cowardly and greedy, or being greedy when you should be cowardly, and being cowardly when you should be greedy, is to seek your own death!"

"That's all I've said, gentlemen, please do it yourself!"

Lei Chenghu slowly closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

This is the first time he calls himself "Benhou".

"Marquis of Liaohai..."

Dongfang Bai was at a loss for a while, and was stunned for a long time, before saying, "You are too alarmist, although 'luting the enemy into deep' is a common tactic of military strategists, but from ancient times to the present, who can be crazy enough to pay dozens of thousands of worlds? The price to 'lure the enemy deep'?

"This is dozens of habitable planets plus hundreds of resource planets, an incalculable population, mineral veins and various resources!

"Such a huge resource, if there is a slight mistake, it will be digested and absorbed by the empire. At that time, the Holy League will be doomed and will definitely lose!

"Even the most insane gambler would not be able to adopt this kind of all-or-nothing strategy, it's purely a gamble on the fate of the country!

"More than ten years ago, when the empire launched a strategic counter-offensive, the Holy League clearly had the upper hand, so what reason is there to bet on the fate of the country so frantically?

"So, the base camp and the Senate haven't considered that the enemy is 'luting the enemy to go deep', but the possibility is so slim that it doesn't exist at all!"

"oh?"

Lei Chenghu opened his eyes again, with the mixed light of a beast and a gambler, and said word by word, "Gambling the luck of the country? This word is used well!

"Indeed, if the Holy League is as powerful as it appears on the surface and maintains its advantage over the empire, there is no need to gamble on the country's luck.

"But what if the Holy League isn't as powerful as it seems?

"What if the enemy is a strong outsider who has already emptied his family in the Millennium War and has fallen to the brink of collapse?

"If the members of the Holy League don't engage in some tricks of 'luting the enemy to go deep', and spend decades on the frontal battlefield with the empire, they are destined to collapse completely?

"Under such circumstances, is there any possibility that the enemy will risk everything? Please tell me!"

Dongfang Bai was shocked and speechless.

"Compared to the empire's system, the biggest advantage of the Holy League system is the brainwashing carried out at the genetic stage, which curbs the free will of the people's desires to the greatest extent."

Lei Chenghu said lightly, "In this way, the power of all the people is highly concentrated together, there is almost no internal friction, and the internal friction coefficient of social operation is infinitely close to zero, instead of going their own way and fighting endlessly like the empire.

"However, such a deformed system also has inherent fatal flaws.

“Without free will, there is no creativity and agency; without emotions and desires, there is no thought of moving civilization forward. The whole world is dead, everyone is doing the same thing, just a bunch of clockwork machines.

"The only factor that can promote the evolution of the Holy League is the Pangu ruins that they continue to excavate, and upgrade them through the technology and magic weapons given to them by the 'God'.

"A thousand years ago, the Holy League caught the empire by surprise and gained a strategic advantage over the empire by relying on the 'advanced technology of the Pangu ruins' and the 'zero-friction system with almost no internal friction'.

"However, war has always been the fastest way to communicate civilizations. After the Millennium War, the empire has also achieved a technological level close to that of the Holy League through various channels.

"The Holy League society lacks creativity and initiative, and its deadly Achilles' heel is constantly being exposed.

"Furthermore, for thousands of years, the Empire has firmly occupied the most fertile world in the center of the Star Sea, and its comprehensive national strength is higher than that of the Holy League. started.

"The Holy League's war against the empire is a typical small country defeating a big country. It is a miracle among miracles that it can last for a thousand years. Now that the tricks are over, it will last for another thirty or fifty years at most. It is strange to bet on the fate of the country. ?"
