"Interstellar civilization doesn't need a capital?"
This statement once again shattered the inherent concepts in Li Yao's mind and opened a new door for him.
"Yes, in the ancient times, communication and transportation methods were relatively backward, and the territory was not too large.
So the rulers gathered most of the high-ranking and powerful people in one place to become the 'imperial court' and the 'capital'.
The political, economic and military focus was a very reasonable approach at the time.”
Wu Yingqi talked eloquently, "But today, the unified countries of human civilization often have hundreds of worlds, and their territories span millions of light-years.
They rely on past political experience and try to rule the entire world with one planet.
In the sea of stars, isn’t it too absurd to carve a boat and ask for a sword?
"Just look at the Tianji Star today - in order to control the entire sea of stars, countless government agencies have been placed here layer by layer, resulting in a population explosion, bloated institutions, environmental pollution, and various departments and forces are interacting with each other.
Constrained, completely losing the functions of 'brain' and 'heart'.
"And when the nobles and powerful men on the distant borders of the empire became disloyal, the imperial capital was beyond its reach and could not allocate forces to restrain and suppress them in time.
As a result, the four elector princes and warlords all swarmed into power, causing the empire to On the road to disintegration.
"What is the use of such an imperial capital?
"In fact, as early as the first step on mankind's journey to the star sea, the past governance methods should be completely abandoned.
There should not be a fixed capital at all.
It is a pity that no one from the demon clan to the empire a thousand years ago has clearly understood this. , leading to tragedies again and again.
"Let's just talk about the biggest tragedy ten thousand years ago, the collapse of the Star Sea Empire.
At that time, the wise and powerful emperor also used the Tianji Star as his capital, but he let his general Blood God Son command the strongest expeditionary force to crusade in the depths of the Star Sea.
The remnants of the demon clan, in this way, the Xinghai Emperor The country's political power and military power are completely separated.
Tianjixing has no way to effectively command the expeditionary force millions of light-years away.
There are too many variables in the decades-long expedition.
Even if the Blood God Son is the emperor's clone, How, rebellion is the inevitable result!
"If the Emperor can see this clearly in time, refuse to use Tianji Star as the capital, and instead relocate all the government agencies of the Star Sea Empire to the expeditionary force, use the expeditionary fleet as a 'mobile capital' and lead the expedition in person, How could the Son of Blood God rebel, and how could the Star Sea Empire collapse?"
Li Yao listened with rapt attention and felt that what Wu Yingqi said was very reasonable and could not be refuted at all.
"In fact, countless knowledgeable people throughout the ages have vaguely recognized this problem, and have made a certain degree of efforts intentionally or unintentionally."
Wu Yingqi continued, "From the demon dynasty to our real human empire, many people in power will spend huge sums of money to build some super giant starry sky battle fortresses, or even hollow out an entire planet and transform it into a military fortress.
What's the 'Death Star,' Star of Destruction, Star of Doom, Star of Darkness', that kind of thing.
"Actually, from a purely military point of view, this kind of large and oversized super starry sky battle fortress that puts all its eggs in one basket has very low combat effectiveness, and its mobility is close to zero.
Once the enemy invades the interior, it will It's easy to be reimbursed all at once, so why not use a lot of their resources to build a fleet or strengthen the armament on the planet's surface!
"But even if the 'Death Star' of the previous dynasty performed poorly on the battlefield and was destroyed in an instant, the new dynasty will still build new 'Death Stars' again and again.
Why?
Is it possible that so many military experts and technologies Are all the experts idiots, unable to see the fatal flaw of these super-giant starry battle forts?
"No, the point is not military, but political.
The purpose of spending huge sums of money to build these super starry sky battle forts is not to make them more effective on the battlefield, but to continuously absorb a large number of local people during the construction process. resources, weaken the power of local powerful people, and make local powerful people unable to resist the orders of the imperial court.
Only in this way can the long-term peace and stability of the unified empire be ensured.
"Of course, the local powerful are also well aware of the imperial court's calculations, so they use various channels to slander the role of the super-giant starry sky battle fortress, and even depict one after another'super death stars' in various literary and artistic works.
"The scene of destruction, ridiculing this "good-for-nothing, superficial" weapon, in fact, just don't want to be sucked by the imperial court using the excuse of "building the Death Star".
"In the past, the counterattacks of local powerful powers have been effective, and no empire has been able to implement the strategy of weakening the local area to the end; besides, Tianjixing is a ready-made capital, which is too prosperous and convenient.
No emperor is willing to leave this colorful world.
Start from scratch.
"Thousands of years ago, I couldn't see it clearly and couldn't bear to part with it.
But today, I have clearly realized the ridiculousness of fixing the capital.
I have long decided to move the capital from Tianji Star to a large fleet with outstanding combat power. , turning the empire into a 'big starship civilization' in a sense.
"It's just that the matter is serious and the interest groups entrenched in Tianji Star are too many and too stubborn.
Not only do the four elector families have a lot of interests here, but the reformists including the Wuying family are also deeply rooted here.

I rashly abandon it.
The proposal to move the capital will definitely be opposed by countless people - there is no way, Tianji Star has been the capital of human civilization for 40 to 50 thousand years.
Those short-sighted and conservative people have long been accustomed to this, and they have no idea what is going on. question.
"So, I'll just pull out all the firepower and destroy the Jitian Realm and Tianji Star.
In this way, all those scurrying flies will shut up and move the capital even if they don't want to!
“Although it will be a small price to pay in the short term, in the long term, this will be of great benefit to ensuring the sustainable development of human civilization.
As the saying goes, ‘cutting the knot with a quick knife is less likely to cause long-term pain than short-term pain’!
"Sacrifice a Jitian Realm, but you can get a super fleet with extremely powerful combat power, and everyone is loyal, honest and upright.
Then I will move the entire court to this new fleet, and you can name it 'Imperial Fleet'.
"From now on, the imperial fleet will patrol the entire star sea regularly.
Every time it visits a world, especially those controlled by powerful princes, it will use local resources to continuously strengthen the fleet and deal with local maladministration and corruption. , select local talents, bring the best talents to the fleet, and strengthen the court At the same time, it also weakened the local area.
In this cycle, the entire empire can be patrolled every twenty or thirty years.
In twenty or thirty years, even if the local powerful have disobedience, they will not have time to develop new rebel forces.
Even if If corruption occurs at the grassroots level, it will not spread too seriously and can be removed and treated immediately.
"In this way, let alone a thousand years, even ten thousand years later, the empire will still be stable, with clean rivers and seas, clean and just, and will never decay!
"And the scale and combat effectiveness of the Imperial Fleet, including the generations of strong men living in the Imperial Fleet, will become stronger and stronger, constantly climbing to the peak of evolution.
When the time is right, sufficient resources, technical power and combat effectiveness have been reserved.
The Imperial Capital will The fleet can transform into the 'Great Universe Expeditionary Force' and rush out directly!
"Li Aiqing, what do you think of the picture of the future I have painted?
Don't you think it is the only feasible solution?"
Li Yao licked his tongue again and again, but his mouth still felt dry.
He felt more and more that what Wu Yingqi said made sense - at least partially.
"As I said, if you think I have made any omissions or mistakes in details, feel free to speak up."
Wu Yingqi said magnanimously, "As long as your words are meaningful, I promise to follow your advice."
"Yes, there is another omission!"
Li Yao's mind was in a mess, he was digging into the details and said, "His Majesty's 'Tomorrow Plan' will not kill tens of billions of people instantly, but will completely disrupt these people's brains and turn them into monsters filled with the desire to kill.
Beasts create boundless terror on Tianji Star, but by doing so, wouldn't it easily trigger a super large-scale 'Devil Arrival'?
"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins.
Your Majesty thinks that he has taken into account the factors of the Reformists, the Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance, Lei Chenghu, the four major families, the Holy Alliance and even the cultivators, and every link has been taken into account to the extreme.
But have you ever considered the issue of extraterrestrial demons?
What if the extraterrestrial demons suddenly come out and turn countless civilians on the Tianji Star into doomsday horrors?
" As soon as he said this, Wu Yingqi couldn't help but have a proud smile on his face.
"Li Aiqing is so considerate that she even thought of the problem of demons from outside the territory, but..."
Wu Yingqi smiled and said, "Don't worry about the devil.
I have already taken this variable into account and have my own solution.
I even control all the devils and make them serve the empire obediently."
"Your Majesty can control billions of demons?"
Li Yao was shocked again.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Yingqi's confident expression.
Countless nerve bundles were beating in his mind as he thought of something.
No, no, there is a problem, there is a big problem.
He has been ignoring a very important thing.
What exactly is it, think about it quickly, that is the key, the key, the biggest secret of Wu Yingqi.
That’s right, there’s no reason, it doesn’t make sense!
"Speaking of which, how did His Majesty know the secret of the 'Golden Crystal Tower'?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Not only the precise coordinates, but also the method of manipulation, and even the method of transforming the Golden Crystal Tower into a 'super giant brain wave amplifier'?"
Li Yao seemed to be talking to himself, and muttered in the weakest voice, "Although His Majesty has stayed in the Emperor's Tomb for hundreds of years, you can't know it from the Emperor - because opening the Emperor's Tomb The half key at the core was never found by His Majesty, and finally fell into my hands.
"Since Your Majesty has never really opened the core of the ancient tomb, it is certainly impossible to obtain all the emperor's inheritance.
What's more, I believe that the emperor is not the kind of person who will transform the golden crystal tower and prepare to brainwash all mankind on a large scale.
Besides, the emperor He is the biggest enemy of the extraterrestrial demons, and there is no reason why he can control hundreds of millions of demons.
"Judging from the Tianji Star War ten thousand years ago, only two people know the secret of the Golden Crystal Tower.
Apart from the emperor, it is the 'Doomsday War Mad Blood God Son', and the Blood God Son was corrupted by extraterrestrial demons and became a demon cultivator. , the rebels led by the Son of Blood God who betrayed the emperor were none other than the coalition of 'humans, monsters and demons'!
"Could it be—— "Your Majesty was able to transform from a mutilated and barely escaping exile in the former martial arts world into the Black Star Emperor of the True Human Empire and the legendary strongest demon cultivator 'Doomsday War Mad Blood God Son' in just a few hundred years.
'Is there any relationship between them?"
