Chapter 2879 Support War with War!
"General Di wants the entire federation to become an 'imperial party' of the real human empire, even counting the Myriad Worlds Business Alliance from which he was born?"
Bai Kaixin sneered, "Are you betraying the Ten Thousand Worlds Business Alliance?"
"So what?"
Di Feiwen looked at his white and fat hands, smiled and said, "Betrayal is a common thing for us cultivators, and the Federation didn't take in me and the defeated soldiers under my command because of my utter loyalty, did it? ?”
Bai Kai was speechless for a while.
"We have been doing the changes in the political situation of the empire, especially the intelligence analysis and character sketches of the new emperor."
The veteran intelligence chief of the Federation, Guo Chunfeng, coughed dryly, and took up the conversation unhurriedly, "What General Di said may not be what we thought, but this matter is too dangerous after all—interfering in the political changes of a big country with the strength of a small country. , don’t hesitate to play with fire in the abyss, if you are a little careless, you will be lost forever!”
"It's playing with fire, so what? Isn't Star Federation always playing with fire from its birth to today?"
Di Feiwen said, "You are playing with fire when you establish the 'Nine Factions Alliance' in the harsh environment surrounded by demons; after the destruction of the East Pole demon kingdom, the daily wars between the Tianyuan Realm and the Blood Demon Realm are also playing with fire; Yao defeated Xiao Xuance in the Flying Star Realm, he was playing with fire; the Human Race and the Monster Race reached a peace agreement, and the three realms of Tianyuan, Blood Demon and Flying Star formed a new federation, he was playing with fire; ——The six-hundred-year rise of the Federation has been fought between the mountains of swords and the jungle of swords and halberds, with steel, blood and flames all the way. There is no sure victory, no easy rise, and no risk. The world is peaceful with the slightest risk?
"It's not the first day that you know the strength comparison between the Federation, the Empire, and the Holy League. The Federation is originally a small country on the edge of the Star Sea that only occupies nine barren worlds and one or two advanced ruins. Such a small country wants to If you compete with superpowers covering hundreds of worlds, if you don't play with fire, don't take risks, and don't watch the time and gamble all your belongings, I don't know, what kind of "opportunities" are you still looking forward to?
"In short, if a small border country like the Federation wants to maintain a strategic balance with a star-sea power like the Empire, it must intervene in the internal situation of the Empire to ensure that the Empire is in a state where there are many factions fighting each other, and then pull one faction to fight the other, so that you can become All parties are afraid, all parties have to fight for the "third force" that is beyond the situation - isn't this the basic national policy of the Federation for hundreds of years?
"No matter how it is realized, first of all, the powerful force of the Federation must be deployed to the empire first. Immortal cultivators believe in the law of 'the weak prey on the strong, and the winner is king'. If you don't first demonstrate the tyranny of the Federation, nothing will work. No deal can be reached!"
Di Feiwen's words caused many federal powerhouses to fall into a brief silence.
After the silence, there was a more intense debate.
With Di Feiwen's words as a foundation, many powerful people in the ancient holy world can finally express their opinions without interruption-their opinions may not be very organized, but at least let the high-level federation know that in the federation, the "battle faction" The argument is still very marketable.
Think about it, too. In the past hundred years, under the threat of the Black Wind Fleet, the Federation has maintained a high-power operation of war machines. The entire social construction and civilization advancement have always focused on the army and force. The status of soldiers and the strong Extremely high, and the martial arts in society are also extremely prosperous.
At that time, few people believed that the invasion of the Black Wind Fleet would be easily resolved. Three or five generations of people had prepared for the battle until every soldier was killed, and the entire Federation was reduced to scorched earth. People drilled deep into the earth's crust and continued to fight for five A hundred years of preparation!
Now, the threat of the Black Wind Fleet has been completely resolved by the sacrifices of Li Yao and countless federal people.
However, the century-long quasi-war state, and the iron-blooded personality shaped by the shadow of war for entire generations, is not so easy to return to a peaceful state.
Not to mention anything else, just say that the number of troops and military expenditure of the Federation are several times higher than the normal level, including the refining and maintenance costs of various starships, which are astronomical figures.
Are these troops and starships prepared for the "total war, scorched earth war, and final war" to continue?
If it is not planned to maintain such a large-scale army, then the resettlement of soldiers and the sealing up and scrapping of starships will lead to huge economic, social and even political problems. It was because of the poor handling of the resettlement of veterans and the intensification of conflicts that the tragedy happened.
If you want to continue to maintain, where will the money come from? You know, not only is every starship a gold-swallowing behemoth, but even every cultivator is a bottomless pit that devours resources. The daily food expenses of all warriors and cultivators alone are enough to make the chief of the general staff of the federal army happy and worried. Every hair is white.
Once a thing like a war machine is rumbling to its limit, it is impossible to make it stop slowly. It is enough to fill it with enough flesh and bones to make it brake completely.
In the federal defense war, there were not enough flesh and bones filled in, and this was the biggest problem.
"War is burning money, burning your own money is a loser, burning other people's money is a winner."
The eagle on the prairie in the ancient holy world, or simply put, Han Baling, the bandit leader on the prairie, said plausibly, "For the long-term stability of the Federation, the current size of the army must be maintained or even expanded, and it is absolutely impossible to disarm.
"And the federal finances can't maintain such a large army-a few years ago, facing the threat of life and death, the people were naturally willing to contribute all their resources and gritted their teeth to survive the most difficult years, but now, there is no reason to let They do?
"There is not enough funds, and to maintain such a large-scale army, what choice do we have other than expanding abroad and winning victories and victories?
"It's not too late. Let's go to the center of the Star Sea now. On the one hand, we can get materials and technical support from the new empire. On the other hand, we can plunder the wealth of the remnants of the four major elector families, and even have the opportunity to seize control of the four major families and the Holy League. In the vast world, there is a lot of war wealth—and relying on the immeasurable war wealth, war bonds can be issued within the Federation, and the stocks of major sects and groups have new hype topics, which can make all the people willingly spend their money. The capital at the bottom of the box helped the federal government through the most difficult period.
"What other business can be more cost-effective than this?"
"The premise of making war fortune is to win and win again!"
Bai Kaixin retorted, "Can we guarantee victory?"
"Of course not."
Han Baling said nonchalantly, "If the war is defeated, the Federation will be destroyed. No matter what war bonds or hype promises, there is no need to honor them, and no one cares, right?"
Such irresponsible remarks naturally led to a new round of rebuttals. The "main fighters" and the "delayed fighters" were fighting each other, and the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, and the focus of the two sides had long since drifted. Where did it go.
At this time, from the end of the conference table, came the sound of steel crutches hitting the deck heavily.
"Swish Swish Swish Swish!"
Everyone's debate came to an abrupt end, and everyone turned their attention to the old man who was covered in moss and looked like a rock.
The most famous long-lived old man in the Federation, even though he lived long.
I don't know if he is "highly respected", but Gui Shishou is indeed the longest-lived person in the entire Federation so far, and he is also one of the masters with the highest cultivation level, almost as good as Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun. Ghost repair is similar.
It's just that he concentrated all his magical powers on the skill of "health and longevity".
Even so, a long life is enough for him to spend countless thrilling, treacherous and unpredictable years, and accumulate extremely rich life experience to guide the juniors in front of him.
Gui Shishou is qualified to participate in this meeting of the strong men of the Federation, and treats all the strong men of the Federation as juniors.
His age is even older than the "age" of Star Federation. As early as six hundred years ago, the predecessor of Star Federation, before the establishment of the Nine Sect Alliance on Tianyuan Star, Gui Shishou was already used to the vicissitudes of life. It's getting windy and rough.
This old man of the monster race has always regarded himself as a "historical recorder", and he even conceived the "Tombstone Project", to record the most glorious moments of the human and monster civilizations in the star sea frontier in his "tombstone".
Today, it is the most glorious and dangerous moment of Star Federation. Gui Shou has been awake for a long time, which far exceeds the sum of the previous hundreds of years. The position of the dean is to use biochemical technology to study the mysteries of human cultivation and longevity.
Speaking of which, the Xingyao Federation, which owns the last established demon clan force in the Pangu universe, has also obtained an orderly inheritance and a very complete biochemical technology system from the blood demon world. The corpses of many Pangu tribes in the Kunlun Secret Realm were fused together, and countless unique and powerful biochemical cultivation techniques were analyzed and extracted.
The Federation's exploration in the field of biochemistry has even gone ahead of the Empire and the Holy League. In this regard, Gui Shishou can be called a living database and museum, and he has made great contributions.
The Life Research Institute of the Federal Psionic Research Center led by him has even conducted extensive follow-up investigations and big data sampling on all practitioners in the entire Federation—whether they are cultivators, immortals, or monsters who strengthen their flesh and blood. And the research report, the word "cultivation" is further standardized, digitized, and repeatable, providing clear guidance for countless practitioners to upgrade.
Many powerful people in the Federation respect Gui Shishou very much, knowing that he must have something very important to say—otherwise, this thousand-year-old demon would not be bothered to waste his energy speaking!
