Chapter 2203 Firewall
"besides"
The blood-colored inner demon continued, "Lei Chenghu also forcibly organized a large number of original and real people into his troops, purely acting as cannon fodder to consume, so that he could gain valuable breathing time, allowing him to gather a bunch of broken soldiers, reorganize the defense line and gain enough mobile power.
"On the other hand, he clamored that from soldiers to civilians, he would 'kill and serve the country', and distributed 'long live bombs' and various special stimulant drugs to all the people in the war zone, and repeatedly brainwashed them to instill the idea of 'loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and burning the country' in the people."
Li Yao said: "What the hell is Long Live Bullet?"
The blood-colored inner demon said: "It is a shoddy crystal bomb. Under the war zone he controlled, almost all the people have one.
"Lei Chenghu asked the people to inject stimulant into their carotid artery once the Holy Alliance army really landed, and after receiving instant reinforcement stimulation, they screamed "Long Live" and rushed forward and died with the enemy with crystal bombs. At least, they should use these crystal bombs to escape, leaving themselves with the "decentness of the imperial citizen."
"Of course, it's not unreasonable to do this. After all, once the planet is occupied by the Holy Alliance and the people are captured by the Holy Alliance, they will be sent to some "Sanctuary" for brainwashing, depriving them of the seven emotions and six desires and self-will, turning them into flesh and blood machinery that only knows to faithfully execute orders, and strengthen the power of the Holy Alliance.
"However, from the perspective of a cultivator, of course, I think Lei Chenghu's approach is too cruel.
"In short, Lei Chenghu was the first to implement the 'scorched earth tactic' and the most thorough implementation. Once he wants to evacuate a certain planet, he will never leave half a granary or crystal mine for the Holy Alliance. As for various light and heavy industrial facilities, they are even blown up completely.
"As for the people, he would use iron-blooded means to organize the people to evacuate with the fleet with the highest efficiency, and preserve their vitality to the greatest extent, but those people who are unable to evacuate never care about their lives and death, and even publicly encourage them to die, reduce the burden on the empire, so as not to "be accomplice for the tiger" and become cannon fodder for the enemy.
"Lei Chenghu's many cruel and ruthless tactics were even crazy, and there were many criticisms in the empire, especially those nobles who had forcibly confiscated all their property and were even forced to become cannon fodder and sent to the front line by him, as well as all the interest groups involved, later launched crazy attacks on him.
"However, after a series of impeccable victory, these furious guys had to admit that Lei Chenghu's approach was completely in line with the avenue of immortal cultivators, and at that time, if he did not do so, the Holy Alliance army would be very likely to pursue the victory and rush into the empire's hinterland, and that would be all over!
"Anyway... If there is a 'true cultivator like a textbook', Lei Chenghu is the case. He seems to regard everyone, including himself, as pawns and swords to defend the empire.
"I really admire such a man with personality, but as a cultivator, you are really sure to rescue such a hard-working immortal cultivator?"
Li Yao thought deeply for a long time.
In fact, without the need for the blood-colored inner demon, he could vaguely think of the guy who was appointed as the general of the Imperial Army, was named the Marquis of Liaohai, commanded the most elite deep space fleet, and a whole war zone. How could a guy who could be a good person?
but……
"I think what we are mainly considering now is not even the question of whether the reformists can seize the highest power of the empire."
While considering, Li Yao said cautiously, "The subtle situation within the empire is only one aspect, and the Holy Alliance is equally important. On the other hand, the Holy Alliance are just puppets, not dead people. Could it be that they really throw away dozens of worlds in one breath and are indifferent, and they are still foolishly watching the empire digest the fruits of victory and complete internal integration?
"When we were still in the Federation, we had discussed this issue in depth with Di Feiwen, deputy commander of the Black Wind Fleet. From the perspective of "clear bystanders", Di Feiwen also felt that the brilliant victory of the "Imperial Counterattack" came too easily and was too strange.
"And after swallowing dozens of worlds in one breath, the phenomenon of "uneven distribution of spoils and indigestion" will definitely happen, that is the opportunity for the Holy Alliance!
"So, although I don't know why the Holy Alliance went crazy, and used dozens of worlds as bets to make such a shocking bet, I believe that the Holy Alliance must have a conspiracy!
"Looking back at the current empire, according to Li Linghai's words, it was true that the dynasty was in the late years, with many ills and various contradictions reaching the extreme.
"There are conflicts between the small and medium-sized nobles and the four major electoral families, the emerging warlords in the outer star field and the old powerful in the central star field, the real person and the original person, the low-level immortal cultivators and the high-level immortal cultivators, and the Expeditionary Force and the Senate even more.
"Even if Li Linghai himself wants to use the bodies of the four electoral emperors to eliminate all conflicts, will he still have hidden ambitions that will arouse even greater conflicts? Who knows!
"What if, when all kinds of conflicts in the empire broke out, the Holy Alliance seized the opportunity to kill a 'returned-back'?"
The blood-colored inner demon was silent for a long time and said, "If the Holy Alliance really wants to seize the precious opportunity of all conflicts erupting, then they must be well aware of the situation within the empire."
"It's not impossible. Do you still remember the Holy Alliance puppet 'Tang Qianhe' we encountered in Kunlun ruins more than a hundred years ago?"
Li Yao said, "Tang Qianhe is obviously a spy from the Holy Alliance, but he can vividly simulate the seven emotions and six desires of normal people, and penetrate into Su Changfa's inspection team, and no one noticed it.
"Su Changfa later told us that the Holy Alliance's exploration of "simulated emotions" technology is far superior to the "spiritual map testing technology" used by the Empire to defend against the infiltration of the Holy Alliance. I don't know how many secret spies were installed in the empire. Many secret spies are so-called "silencers". They will never reveal their identity without encountering emergencies.
"Just say that Tang Qianhe, the Holy Alliance spy, was fine. She tore through the disguise when she discovered a living Pangu tribe. She was able to see the picture.
"Think about it, if we hadn't discovered the living Pangu tribe at that time, was it possible that Tang Qianhe would have penetrated into the Federation with Su Changfa and Kou Ruhuo?
"The Empire and the Holy Alliance fought a thousand-year war. There were countless Holy Alliance spies lurking in the empire and sending intelligence back to the Holy Alliance continuously. It's normal!
"But on the other hand, it is not so easy for the imperial spies to lurk within the Holy Alliance to completely erase the appearance of seven emotions and six desires and free will. It's really hard to simulate!"
The blood-colored inner demon said: "When you say this, I also remembered 'Tang Qianhe'. That woman was so crazy that she turned herself into pure energy to awaken the Pangu clan. It was really terrible.
"If you can hide the secret spies of the Holy Alliance in a small expedition team, then there may be more secret spies hidden in various key departments of the empire. It is indeed possible to accurately grasp and even secretly manipulate some contradictions in the empire to intensify and explode."
"so"
Li Yao said, "The thousand-year balance of power is not so easy to break. The so-called 'glorious victory of the Empire's Counterattack' is even more severely compromised. Even though the Imperial Army is really invincible on the front line, their rear is more dangerous and fragile.
"If you are not careful, the Holy Alliance will fight back and the empire with infighting will collapse completely!
“Once the empire collapses completely, there will be two consequences.
"First, everyone living in hundreds of worlds in the empire, whether cultivators or ordinary people, will be involved in endless wars and fall into a situation that is a hundred times more miserable than now. They are either brainwashed into flesh-and-blooded puppets or destroyed with their homeland.
"Although I am reluctant to admit it, no matter how evil the real human empire is, in the past thousand years, it has maintained the unity of the densely populated world in the central Star Sea and the general peace.
"It's better to be Taiping Bridge than to cause trouble. It's hard for me to imagine how terrifying blood would be caused by the collapse of the Thousand-year Empire.
"Second, once the empire collapses and is received by the Holy Alliance, it will really expand into a behemoth that devours the universe. The Starlight Federation will face the pressure of this giant beast alone.
"The Black Wind Fleet and the Empire's mainland still maintain a minimum contact. The existence of the Federation is destined to be hidden for a long time. At most one or two hundred years, to complete the devouring and integration of the Empire, the Holy Alliance will definitely extend its claws to the Federation.
"What is enough for the Federation for one or two hundred years? Is it enough for me to learn from the former Xinghai Republic and build a big ship to escape?
"If the empire and the federation collapse and the Holy Alliance cultivates and awakens a large number of Pangu tribes, will human civilization still have hope? Will it be completely discarded by the Pangu tribe like a tool that has completed its mission?
"So, whether from the perspective of hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the center of the Star Sea, from the perspective of the national interests of the Star Federation, or even from the perspective of the entire human civilization, maintaining a stable empire, acting as a "firewall" between the Federation and the Holy Alliance, and continuing to promote the situation of "two tigers fighting and stalemate" is the best.
"Looking at the entire empire, if someone can definitely withstand the deadly attack of the Holy Alliance, it would be the 'God of War' Lei Chenghu.
"What's more, now that the four electoral families have placed Lei Chenghu under house arrest, they may not necessarily kill him, and it is more likely that the two sides will reach an agreement, or Lei Chenghu will escape the siege in other ways. In short, we cannot interfere with him at all.
"With Li Linghai, we can rescue Lei Chenghu and put him in the 'renovation camp' camp. We can also observe and interfere with him from a close distance. In the most extreme cases, there is still a chance to kill him. He heard that he is an old God-transforming powerhouse, but after all, he is a fleet commander, a war zone commander, and a senior official. He is good at combat and command art in large corps. If you really start, there is no reason to fight better than us, right?"
"It makes some sense, your mind is getting clearer and clearer."
The blood-colored inner demon pondered for a moment and suddenly screamed, "Be careful!"
