Chapter 2203 Firewall
"besides"
The bloody heart demon continued, "Lei Chenghu also forcibly incorporated a large number of original people and real people into his army, and used them purely as cannon fodder to consume them. Only in this way did he gain precious breathing time, allowing him to gather a scattered army and reorganize it." line of defense and gain sufficient mobility.
"On the other hand, he clamored that everyone from soldiers to civilians should 'kill their lives to serve the country', distributed 'long live bullets' and various battlefield-specific stimulants to all the people in the war zone, and repeatedly brainwashed them, instilling in the people 'loyalty to the king and patriotism, death with jade and stone 'thought of."
Li Yao said: "What the hell is Long Live Bullet?"
The bloody heart demon said: "It's a crude spar bomb, and almost all the people in the war zone under his control have one.
"Lei Chenghu asked the people to inject stimulant drugs into their carotid arteries once the Holy League army really landed, and after receiving the instant enhanced stimulation, they screamed 'Long live' and rushed forward to kill the enemy with spar bombs. At the very least, use these spar bombs to commit suicide and leave yourself a 'dignity of a citizen of the empire'.
"Of course, it's not unreasonable to do this. After all, once the planet is occupied by the Holy League, and the people are captured by the Holy League, they will be sent to some kind of 'temple' for brainwashing, depriving them of their emotions and desires and self-will, and turning them into just A flesh-and-blood machine that knows how to faithfully execute orders, and strengthen the power of the Holy League.
"However, from the perspective of a cultivator, of course I think Lei Chenghu's actions are too cruel.
"In short, Lei Chenghu was the first to implement the 'scorched earth tactics', and implemented it most thoroughly. Once he wants to evacuate a certain planet, he will never leave half of the granary or spar mine to the Holy League. The industrial facilities were completely blown up.
"As for the people, he will use iron and blood methods to organize the people to evacuate with the fleet with the highest efficiency to preserve the vitality to the maximum. However, for those people who can't evacuate, he never cares about their lives, and even openly encourages them to die. The empire has lightened its burden so as not to become the enemy's cannon fodder.
"Lei Chenghu's many ruthless and even insane tactics have caused many criticisms even within the empire, especially those nobles who were forcibly confiscated by him, and even forced to become cannon fodder and sent to the front line by him, as well as all the interests involved. The group later launched a frenzied attack on him.
"However, after a series of impeccable victories, these distraught guys have to admit that Lei Chenghu's approach is completely in line with the way of cultivating immortals, and at that time, if he didn't do this, the Holy Alliance army is very likely to take advantage of the victory , Rushing into the hinterland of the empire, it's all over!
"Anyway... If there is a 'textbook-like real cultivator', it is Lei Chenghu. He seems to regard everyone, including himself, as pawns and swords to defend the empire.
"I really admire such a man with character, but as a cultivator, are you really sure you want to rescue such a hardcore cultivator?"
Li Yao thought about it for a long time.
In fact, it doesn't need to be said by the bloody demon, he can vaguely think of the guy who worshiped the general of the imperial army, named Liao Haihou, commanded the most elite deep space fleet, and a whole war zone. How could he be a good person?
but……
"I think that what we are mainly considering now is not even the question of whether the reformists can seize the supreme power of the empire."
While deliberating, Li Yao said cautiously, "The delicate situation within the empire is only one aspect, and the Holy League is equally important. The whole world is indifferent, are you still stupid to watch the empire digest the fruits of victory and complete internal integration?
"When we were still in the Federation, we had an in-depth discussion on this issue with Di Feiwen, the deputy commander of the Black Wind Fleet. From the perspective of 'bystanders', Di Feiwen also felt that the glorious victory of the 'Empire Strikes Back' came too easily. It's so weird.
"And after swallowing dozens of Great Thousand Worlds in one go, the phenomenon of 'uneven distribution of spoils and indigestion' will definitely happen, and that is the opportunity for the Holy League!
"So, although I don't know why the Holy League went crazy and wagered such a huge gamble with dozens of worlds, I believe that the Holy League must have a conspiracy!
"Looking back and looking at the current empire, according to Li Linghai's words, it is really the last year of the dynasty, full of evils, and all kinds of conflicts are extremely acute.
"There are conflicts between the small and medium-sized nobles and the four major elector families, conflicts between the emerging warlords of the outer star field and the old dignitaries of the central star field, conflicts between real people and original people, conflicts between low-level cultivators and high-rank cultivators, and conflicts between expeditionary troops and veterans. The court is more contradictory.
"Even if Li Linghai himself wants to use the corpses of the four major elector families to eliminate all conflicts, does he still have hidden ambitions that will stir up even greater conflicts? Who knows!
"What if, when all kinds of conflicts in the empire erupted, the Holy League seized the opportunity to kill a 'backbone', what would happen?"
The bloody heart demon was silent for a long time and said: "If the Holy League really wants to seize the precious opportunity when all conflicts break out, then they must know the internal situation of the empire like the back of their hands."
"It's not impossible. Do you still remember the puppet of the Holy League 'Tang Qianhe' we met in the Kunlun ruins more than a hundred years ago?"
Li Yaodao, "Tang Qianhe is obviously a spy of the Holy League, but he can vividly imitate the emotions and desires of normal people, and even infiltrated into Su Changfa's investigation team, no one noticed.
"Su Changfa also told us later that the Holy League's exploration of the 'simulated emotion' technology is far superior to the 'spiritual diagram test technology' used by the empire to defend against the penetration of the Holy League. Spies are the so-called 'silent ones', and they will never reveal their identities unless they encounter unexpected situations.
"Let's just say that Tang Qianhe is a spy of the Holy League. She only tore off her disguise when she found a living Pangu clan.
"Think about it, if we hadn't discovered the living Pangu clan at that time, would it be possible for Tang Qianhe to have infiltrated into the federation with Su Changfa and Kou Ruhuo?
"The Empire and the Holy League fought a millennium war, and there are countless Holy League spies lurking inside the empire, sending information back to the Holy League continuously, it's normal!
"But on the other hand, if imperial spies want to lurk inside the Holy League, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. It's really too difficult to imitate the appearance of completely erasing emotions and desires and free will!"
The bloody heart demon said: "When you say that, I also think of 'Tang Qianhe', that woman is so crazy that she turns herself into pure energy to wake up the Pangu clan, it is really scary.
"If even a small expedition team can hide the secret spies of the Holy League, then there are even more secret spies that may be hidden in various key departments of the empire. It is indeed possible to accurately grasp and even secretly manipulate the secrets of the empire. Some contradictions intensified and broke out."
"so"
Li Yao said, "It's not so easy to break the balance of power for a thousand years, and the so-called 'brilliant victory of the Empire Strikes Back' will be greatly discounted. Even though the Imperial Army is really invincible and invincible on the front line, their rear is more dangerous and vulnerable.
"With a little carelessness, the Holy League counterattacked, and the entire empire, which was in the midst of internal strife, collapsed without knowing it!
"Once the empire collapses, there are two consequences.
"First, everyone living in the hundreds of great worlds within the empire, regardless of whether they are cultivators or ordinary people, will all be involved in the boundless flames of war and fall into a situation that is a hundred times more miserable than it is now. It is to be wiped out together with their homes.
"Although I don't want to admit it, no matter how evil the true human empire is, in the past thousand years, it has finally maintained the unity and general peace of the densely populated world in the center of the Star Sea.
"It's better to be the Taiping Bridge than to leave people alone. It's hard for me to imagine how terrifying a sea of blood will be if the thousand-year-old empire collapses.
"Second, once the empire collapses and most of its power is taken over by the Holy League, it will really expand into a behemoth that swallows the universe, and the Federation of Stars will have to face the pressure of this behemoth alone.
"The Black Wind Fleet still maintains a minimum of contact with the mainland of the empire. The existence of the federation is destined to be hidden for a long time, at most a hundred or two hundred years. After the swallowing and integration of the empire is completed, the holy alliance will definitely extend its claws to the federation.
"One or two hundred years is enough for the Federation to do, is it like the old Xinghai Republic and build a big ship to escape?
"Once the empire and the Federation collapse, and the Holy League cultivates and awakens a large number of Pangu tribes, is there any hope for human civilization to exist? Will it be completely discarded by the Pangu tribe like a tool that has fulfilled its mission?
"So, no matter from the point of view of the hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the Central Star Sea, from the point of view of the national interests of the Star Federation, or even from the point of view of the entire human civilization, maintain a stable empire and act as a bridge between the Federation and the Holy League." Firewall', and continue to contribute to the situation of 'two tigers contending for stalemate', are the best.
"Looking at the entire empire, if there is anyone who can withstand the deadly attack of the Holy League, it is the 'God of War' Lei Chenghu.
"What's more, now that the four major elector families have placed Lei Chenghu under house arrest, they may not necessarily kill him. It is more likely that the two sides will reach an agreement, or that Lei Chenghu will escape the siege in other ways. In short, we can't interfere with him at all. .
"Cooperate with Li Linghai to rescue Lei Chenghu and put him in the 'reformist' camp. We can also observe and interfere with him at close range. In the most extreme case, we may even have a chance to kill him. I heard that he is a veteran chemical God is strong, but after all, he is the commander of the fleet, the commander of the theater, and the generals. He is good at large corps operations and command art. If you really do it, there is no reason to be better than us, right?"
"It makes sense, your mind is getting clearer."
The bloody demon groaned for a moment, then suddenly screamed, "Be careful!"
