Chapter 2956 Three Pillars
"us?"
Li Yao was stunned for a long time, "Who is this so-called 'us'?"
Xiao Ming did not directly answer Li Yao's question, but lowered his eyelids, and said in a different way: "Father originally thought, how should we deal with the problems of the Fuxi fleet and so many members of the Holy League? For example, let the entire Fuxi fleet Do you think it is appropriate to surrender to the imperials?"
Li Yao pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
"That's right."
Xiao Ming said, "Leaving aside whether the imperial people whose capital is about to fall will become angry and kill all the members of the Holy League - I believe this is not Dad's original intention.
"Even if the imperial people are magnanimous and keep all the members of the Holy League alive, the strength of the imperial army that swallowed the entire Fuxi fleet will greatly expand, reaching or even exceeding ten times that of the federal army.
"The alliance between the Empire and the Federation was not very strong in the first place. Once the strength of the two sides is too disparate, it is bound to be unable to maintain balance, and new disasters will definitely arise.
"So, not only us, but also our titular mother, Federal Speaker Ding Lingdang, as well as many powerhouses and all cultivators in the Federation, cannot just watch the Imperials annex the Fuxi Fleet."
Li Yao thought about it carefully, and it really makes sense.
Of course he believed in Li Jialing, but Li Linghai or Lei Chenghu were hard to say. There is a saying that "human nature is inherently good", but there is also a saying that "don't test human nature casually".
Handing over the entire Fuxi Fleet to the Imperials made the Empire's military strength ten times greater than that of the Federation, and looking at the entire star sea, there are no new enemies for the time being—this kind of behavior is an out-and-out "test of human nature" ", is destined to lead to catastrophe.
"Then, what about the Federation Expeditionary Force taking over the Fuxi Fleet?"
Xiao Ming looked into Li Yao's eyes, "Dad thinks this proposal is good?"
"Of course it is good. In this way, the power gap between the Federation and the Empire will be greatly reduced."
Li Yao said, "It's just that it's impossible for the imperial people to watch the Federation annex the Fuxi fleet, right?"
"That's right, Dad is right on point. If the Federation Expeditionary Force annexes the Fuxi Fleet, it can further narrow the military gap between the Federation and the Empire. The problem is that it is obviously impossible for the people of the Empire to be blind and foolish." Let the Confederates seize the richest spoils, and do nothing."
Xiao Ming said, "After all, this is the home court of the Empire. The Empire and the Holy League were severely damaged in the previous twenty years of 'Empire Strikes Back'. One bullet, drained the last drop of blood, finally won the victory - no matter how the victory was obtained, the spoils of war are about to be divided up, how can these selfish immortal cultivators hand over the boiled duck to others? possible?
"If our little emperor uncle dares to issue such absurd order, telling all the cultivators to stand still, but let the federal people swagger to take away the Fuxi fleet, I am afraid that he will immediately become the biggest sinner in the history of the empire and cultivating immortals , will be overthrown by angry imperial soldiers in the next moment.
"In the situation on the battlefield at that time, the fleets of the Federal Expeditionary Force and the Imperial Army were mixed together, and there was no order at all. It would be great if the two sides could maintain a high degree of restraint and not shoot their guns. How could the Federals be careless? What about cohesive formations, sweeping the battlefield, and receiving all the starships of the Holy League?
"What's more, it's not about taking the Holy League starship back into its own battle formation. Even if everything is fine-both the Fuxi Fleet and the Federation Expeditionary Force are all scarred and exhausted. Not relying on the imperials to provide docks and repair factories for rest, as well as a series of fuel and ammunition supplies, treatment of the seriously wounded, and so on, all have to be resolved by the imperials.
"Under such circumstances, do the Federation have the ability to capture and digest the entire Fuxi fleet? Not at all!"
"You have a point."
Li Yao understood what Xiao Ming meant, "I don't want to see the Fuxi fleet swallowed by the empire, but it seems impossible for the federation to completely digest and absorb so many powerful starships. The most important thing is , neither the Federation nor the Empire has the ability to appease and control all the 'soldier bees' and 'worker bees' of the Fuxi fleet."
"Yes."
Xiao Ming said, "Although the Fuxi Fleet has lost their leader and will not take the initiative to attack the outside world, the so-called 'the way of perfection - the three original principles' are still deeply ingrained in the brains of a large number of 'soldier bees' and 'worker bees' , among the three principles of origin, there is the one of 'protecting one's own safety', that is to say, although the Fuxi fleet will not take the initiative to attack, someone must first attack them, or break into their starship, and disarm them. armed, they will still resist, this is considered a conditioned reflex, right?
"You know, in terms of combat strength on paper, even in the end, the Fuxi fleet will not lose. Its ammunition and fuel are sufficient, which is far better than that of the federal and imperial coalition forces. Except for the escape from Fortress, the rest of the main warships have not suffered a devastating blow and are still capable of fighting. They are like a steel hedgehog on high alert. The two exhausted paper tigers of the Federation and the Empire want to eat Fuxi. Fleet, there is nothing to say.
"We believe that what Dad means is not to completely wipe out all the brainwashed members of the Holy League, but to save them and help them slowly recover their emotions and wills—killing their mastermind is one thing, but how to maintain the minimum It is another matter to allow them to let go of their hearts and accept a certain degree of 'treatment', and during this period, not to make more troubles. Wenwen and I don't think that the federal people and The imperial people can do this, after all, they do not have the authority to control the entire Fuxi fleet."
"correct."
Li Yao looked at Xiao Ming and murmured, "We all devoured part of Fuxi's data. This place was originally the flagship of the Fuxi fleet, and only we have the authority."
"That's right."
Xiao Ming said frankly, "The basic database of Wenwen and I comes from the "Civilization" game of Star Federation, and we—including the champion of boxing—believe that human civilization maintains a state of mutual deterrence and balance between several major forces, which is better than a single family. It is more conducive to our new information life to survive in the cracks, so we are all willing to stand on the side of the Federation and help the Federation to check and balance the empire.
"Since it is impossible for the Federation to directly annex Fuxi's fleet, and all the confused 'soldier bees' and 'worker bees' of the Holy League need to maintain a temporary and minimum order, or in other words, it is impossible for them to leave Fuxi's control all at once, and they must proceed step by step. , find yourself step by step.
"Then, before all members of the Holy League have recovered themselves, and new disputes will arise between the Federation and the Empire at any time, who is more suitable than us to control the Fuxi fleet, and then control the entire Holy League?
"After a brief analysis and discussion, we came to such a conclusion, Wenwen, Boxing King and I acted immediately, pieced together our three control authorities from Fuxi, and controlled the entire Fuxi fleet accordingly. And we have shown our existence and attitude to the leaders of both the Federation and the Empire - we are not Fuxi, we are willing to surrender, and have the conditions to disarm part of the army and retreat to the edge of the extreme heaven. When the time is right, we will return Return to the mainland of the Holy League, but we must obtain the minimum supplies to ensure the survival of all the 'soldier bees' and 'worker bees' on board, and we do not want to see new conflicts between the Federation and the Empire. , then the party that creates the conflict will be regarded as the only enemy by us and will be hit hardest by us!"
Li Yao was dumbfounded.
"that is--"
He contemplated the wording for a long time, and finally said cautiously, "After fighting for a long time, you actually replaced Fuxi's position, leading Fuxi's fleet and even... the entire Holy League?"
"It's not 'you', it's 'us'."
Xiao Ming said unceremoniously, "Father also devoured a lot of Fuxi's data, and has a certain authority, and can exert influence on a large number of 'soldier bees' and 'worker bees', so we are the ones who jointly lead the entire Holy League.
"Don't look at me like that. To be honest, I'm not interested in things like leading the Holy League. Dad should know that my database is more focused on war, exploration, conquest, and colonization. I have the Fuxi fleet. Well, it was Wen Wen who kept rambling beside him, saying that we must never abandon the ordinary people of the Holy League. If we don’t lead, manage and treat them, they will definitely fall into famine and depression due to lack of supplies and collapsed masterminds. In chaos, humans on hundreds of planets will all become extinct.
"I don't particularly care about whether human beings are extinct, but what Wenwen said makes sense-if we can manage and treat all human beings in the entire Holy League, and solve the biggest 'humanitarian crisis' in the history of the Pangu universe, perhaps human beings will The view of information life will be different and become more positive and positive, which is of great benefit to our survival and development, so I can only reluctantly do it!"
The coldness that Xiao Ming reveals between the lines is as different as Fuxi's.
Of course, he was like this long before he met Fuxi, even when he was still in Star Federation.
——If information life really possesses humanity, this "humanity" must be very different from the "humanity" in the usual sense of human beings.
"so……"
Li Yao looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar young man in front of him, feeling a little "the child has grown up and is no longer under the control of his parents", "You all chose this for the sake of the Federation, and even to solve the 'humanitarian crisis'." Take the initiative to control the Fuxi fleet?"
"Of course not. It's mainly for our own survival. We can't base our lives on human compassion and kindness. Since our existence can no longer be concealed, and with the truth of the Holy League being exposed, human beings will not accept Fuxi. Such artificial intelligence will greatly increase hostility, and we must also have sufficient force to protect ourselves."
Xiao Ming said generously, without any concealment, "Dad thinks that human beings have enough rationality, wisdom and patience to distinguish between us and Fuxi, the difference between 'good artificial intelligence' and 'bad artificial intelligence', and then open our arms, completely Will you accept us? Maybe, maybe not, we can't and don't need to gamble, it's better to control a powerful fleet by ourselves, fight when we want, and leave when we want."
