Chapter 2875 Federation's Choice

"Hu Shuai really deserves to be Hu Shuai, what a magnificent strategy."

Boss Bai still didn't give in, and said coldly, "But no matter how big the cake is, it still counts if it can be eaten. Have you ever considered that if our army's combat effectiveness is not enough to support such continuous operations and long-distance raids? What should we do? The so-called 'go straight to the Yellow Dragon', another way of saying it is to work on an expedition and go deep alone. At that time, as long as some slightest accidents happen, the entire army may be wiped out!

"The safest strategy is to capture the Jade Cauldron first and transform this material-rich planet into our forward base and the hub of our logistics supply line."

"Safety? There is no time for us to be safe!"

Lei Chenghu's face became darker, and he said in a deep voice, "The movement of the Holy League fleet on the western front is becoming more and more ambiguous, and it may launch a fatal blow to the hinterland of the empire at any time. If I am the main fleet of the Holy League Commander, it is very likely that you will plunge your sharpest soldiers straight into the heart of the empire!

"Once the news of the main fleet of the Holy League appears in the imperial capital, it will be even more impossible for the remnants of the four major elector families to surrender. Jade Cauldron Star, what's the use?"

"That's not a reason to insist on attacking the enemy's capital when people are exhausted and ammunition and food are exhausted!"

Boss Bai's anger exploded again, and he growled, "If you don't rest, the army can't hold on, how can you fight?"

"If we can't hold on, we have to hold on. What we're fighting for now is to use one breath to stimulate the troops to fight Huanglong with one victory after another. If we stop to rest and recover, the breath will dissipate, and the combat effectiveness will fall to the bottom instead. I can't get up again!"

Lei Chenghu said loudly, "This is a battle to bet on the fate of the empire. Even though we know that the chances are slim, we have no choice!"

"No, you have no choice, not 'us'."

Boss Bai narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "No matter what Hu Shuai said, I still think your strategy is too risky. My son Lang, there is no reason to do such a thing of "taking chestnuts out of the fire" for the empire - we still have our own tasks and missions.”

As soon as this remark came out, the two fell silent at the same time.

That's right, from the very beginning, the difference between the two was not about tactics and strategy, but about their different positions.

With Lei Chenghu's experienced commanding skills, he doesn't know how reckless it is for the troops to be exhausted and pushed to the limit. At this time, if they don't have a good supply and rest, they will have to continue bloody battles or even "go straight to Huanglong". , what an adventure.

And with Boss Bai's countless times of hunting and looting, he doesn't know the importance of "time" and "mobility", and how troublesome it is to use a fleet to forcibly pry open the crust of a planet. Stupid behavior is like stabbing a stubborn stone with a sharp knife.

Thinking back to his career as a star thief in the past, he was famous for "hitting and running". He wanted to attack a planet with a large number of soldiers because of his brain problems.

However, the positions of the two and the missions they shouldered forced them to ignore the risks and omissions in their plans, and only hoped for some "miracle" to happen, and they could accomplish their goals in one fell swoop.

Lei Chenghu had to deal with the vital forces of the four major elector families before the main fleet of the holy alliance appeared. Each deep-space fleet capable of star-sea jumping should completely seal the remnants of the four major families in every single on the planet.

However, Boss Bai wants to preserve his strength as much as possible, so as to gain more bargaining chips for the future game between the Federation and the Empire, and even his own plan.

In the final analysis, Boss Bai doesn't need to care about the difference between a cultivator and a cultivator of immortals. He himself was born as a star thief, and he is not a good man or a believer.

However, it is one thing to help immortal cultivators fight wars, and it is another thing to go to the fire for immortal cultivators, taking the risk of certain death and losing their lives in vain.

And this kind of silence also reveals the biggest weakness of the rebellious coalition forces, that is, there are many orders and the command is not unified.

Lei Chenghu is the nominal commander of the rebel army, and Boss Bai and the Arsonist Fleet are under his control and dispatch.

But how could Boss Bai really hand over the military power to others? Of course, it is a self-contained system, just fighting together.

It is good to say that when there is a series of great victories, it is okay to say that when encountering such a tough battle, when it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out, the rift between the two will undoubtedly be exposed and cannot be healed.

Facing the rebellious boss Bai, Lei Chenghu has no good way.

He wouldn't turn his back on his only powerful ally at this juncture, would he?

"Is there any news about your Federation's reinforcements?"

He could only change the subject to ease the tense atmosphere.

That's right, if the reinforcements from the Xingyao Federation can arrive in time, the strength of the rebel coalition forces will increase greatly, and it will be much easier to plan strategies. With the strength of Lei Chenghu and Bai Boss, they will definitely be able to swallow up the remnants of the four major families .

"Not yet, it is still uncertain whether the Federation is willing to send reinforcements, and how many reinforcements it can send."

Boss Bai said with a gloomy expression, "I want Hushuai to know that just a few years ago, the war machines of the entire Xingyao Federation were still rumbling to defend against the real human empire, and even fought hard against the Black Wind Fleet belonging to the empire." a battle.

"Although the Black Wind Fleet did not invade the hinterland of the Federation and commit evil deeds such as burning, killing and looting, there are still countless children of the Federation who sacrificed their precious lives in that battle.

"The federation's hostility and vigilance against the empire has penetrated into the blood and bone marrow of every federal citizen as early as a century of education. Now, in just a few months, I want to make all the federal people turn 180 degrees, let the painstaking efforts How difficult do you think the centuries-old Federal Army has been fighting to 'defend the empire'?

"That's right, Li Yao was lost in the depths of the star sea, and his wife is the current federal speaker, but the federal speaker is not the emperor of the empire, and the power to decide whether to send troops or even declare war on the Covenant Alliance is in the hands of the parliament. The decision must also reflect the will of the entire nation, and if the entire nation opposes sending troops in society and in the circle of public opinion, it is impossible for the parliament and the speaker to risk the disapproval of the world."

"So, that's why our empire doesn't need a damn parliament."

Lei Chenghu gritted his teeth and said, "The stupid parliament, the stupid people, and the stupid so-called 'public opinion' are just using the idea of ​​a group of pigs to restrain a tiger, and it will only drag the Star Federation into a dead end - it's as simple as 'dead lips and cold teeth' Don’t you understand the truth? If the empire collapses and the Holy League rises, can the federation hide in a corner of the star sea and take care of itself? It’s just the difference between dying sooner or later!”

"I understand, I think so too, but it's too late to say anything now, I can only wait quietly for the federal people to make their decision."

Boss Bai looked at Lei Chenghu and finally gave in, "Shuai Hu, even if you don't agree with attacking Jade Cauldron, at least let the troops capture Jade Cauldron's main satellite 'Yuzi Xing'. , smelting centers and arsenals are not without small supplements to our army, which is short of supplies.

"Anyway, if you insist on playing the trick of 'surrounding the spot to fight for aid', you have to do it well enough to attract the enemy to be fooled, right?"

Lei Chenghu looked at Boss Bai for a long time.

"Okay, three days."

His neck was like a rusty gear, he nodded awkwardly, and three mechanical fingers came out, "Within three days, we must break through the ground defense of 'Yuzi Star' and fully receive this satellite. Good news from Star Federation!"

The light curtain gradually dimmed.

Lei Chenghu's face was replaced by a dark vacuum, burning stars and cake-like shining planets.

Boss Bai looked at all this, but his empty gaze seemed to penetrate the three-dimensional universe and leap to a very distant place.

After a long time, he sighed faintly, expressing the same emotion as Lu Qingchen.

"Federation, my Federation!"

...

At the same time, Star Sea Frontier, Star Glory Federation, and Sky Ring Realm.

Just as Lei Chenghu and Bai Boss had a fierce dispute over the strategy of marching, on the super-orbital dock on the outskirts of Tianhuanxing, a large cruise ship that had just been remodeled was slowly leaving the star port under the tow of the towing ship. , before the trial voyage and live ammunition exercises, I can't wait to join a newly formed huge fleet, which is as bright as a group of stars.

On this cruise ship, a fierce dispute also broke out in the secret meeting room.

The parties involved in the dispute include the top leaders in the federal political arena at the moment, the powerhouses of all parties, as well as generals and experts in the military and academic circles.

Federal Parliament Speaker Ding Lingdang, Director of Secret Sword Guo Chunfeng, former president of Dark Moon Foundation Jin Xinyue, Chief of General Staff of the Federal Army Bai Kaixin, Peng Hai, Meng Chixin, Han Baling... just these thunderous names and The weight of this meeting or "dispute" can be seen from the faces that appear in the headlines every day.

What they cared about was naturally the news of Li Yao and the empire, and what they were arguing about was whether the federation would send troops, and to what extent it would be involved in the maelstrom in the center of the star sea.

Such a meeting should have been held on Tianyuan, the capital of the Federation.

But whether the Federation wants to interfere in the situation of the empire is too sensitive, especially the latest news of Li Yao's disappearance, which is too serious and destructive. Once it is exposed by the press, who knows what earth-shattering waves will be caused in the entire Federation. Even before the army set off, its morale was halved.

Therefore, the high level of the federation still decided to deal with it in a low-key manner first, conduct preliminary discussions and deduction in the form of a "think tank forum", wait until a rough solution is come up, and then release all the news—especially the news of Li Yao's disappearance, Open to the entire Commonwealth.
