To be fair, not all the aristocratic families in the Elector Alliance are fools who are ignorant of their abilities.
The mutiny of the White Star Sword and the chaos of Lei Chenghu came too suddenly.
It is indeed easy for people to think about whether in the vast and dark sea of stars in the Jade Cauldron World, whether What a dangerous trap has been set.
But throughout ancient times and modern times, whether a trap works or not has little to do with the cleverness of the trap itself.
What is more important is whether the bait placed in the trap is plump and attractive enough, and the beast that walks in front of the trap. , whether you are hungry enough.
People tend to only believe what they want to believe.
A beast that is so hungry that it is crazy has only bright flesh and blood in its eyes, and its nose can only smell the fat aroma, but it cannot see the sharp fangs in the trap at all.
At this moment, the elector coalition is such a hungry, dizzy, desperate beast.
As the son of an elector, Song Lixing's strategic vision and vigilance may not be inferior to Song Bugui's, but what he and Song Bugui said from the bottom of their hearts is absolutely correct - whether to launch a large-scale attack on the Jade Cauldron Realm is not a military issue, but a military issue.
It's a political issue.
The life of the reformists was difficult, and the life of the four Electors was even more difficult.
Two consecutive tragic defeats resulted in the loss of more than 70% of the most elite battleships and well-trained elites.
Its impact was not limited to the battlefield.
A series of disastrous consequences are gradually emerging.
Every day, countless demonstrations and illegal assemblies break out in the territories of the four major families.
Every day, countless rumors spread in the form of leaflets or secret channels to promote the ideas of the reformists and "confuse the ignorant people."
Every day, countless middle- and lower-class nobles secretly contacted the imperial capital, and received a promise from the imperial capital.
As long as they responded to the "revolutionary act", not only would their guilt be forgotten, but they would also be able to share a share of the fat corpses of the great nobles. soup.
There are so many such demonstrations, conspiracies and betrayals that they cannot be eliminated and suppressed by force alone.
What's more, the four electorate princes now simply can't muster enough force to suppress the surging commotion.
In the final analysis, in an empire that believes in the law of the jungle and the winner being king, if you suffer defeats one after another on the frontal battlefield, your prestige will be ruined and all power of deterrence and suppression will be lost.
Who will obey you?
There are also resources, simply put, money.
As the commander of the fleet, Song Bugui could ignore where the military expenses of the Kaitian fleet, the expenses for maintaining the palace, and the expenses for consolidating people's hearts came from, but the four elector princes had to work hard for a copper plate - ever since the imperial capital fell into the revolution In the hands of Pai, the "Imperial Crystal Coin" originally issued by the imperial court "Credit has plummeted, not to mention in the outer world, even in the core worlds governed by the four major families, it is not very good.
There are even people who would rather use "freedom star coins" to trade, or use several special crystals.
The absurd situation of being unwilling to use imperial crystal coins as hard currency.
Force can take the lives of those who resist.
But force can never suppress the resistance of capital.
After all, when the executors of the force—the soldiers and middle- and low-level officers—are unwilling to accept imperial crystal coins as military pay, no matter how powerful the force is, it will collapse and disappear.
Now, with the strong assets accumulated over the past hundreds of years, the four major families can still barely support the last meager credit of the empire's crystal coins, and even adopt the primitive methods of "military notes", "national debts" and "barter", but Everyone knows how inefficient and unsustainable this transaction method is in an information society that spans hundreds of millions of light years.
It doesn’t take a professional financial expert to estimate that the four electors all know very well that without another hearty victory to boost morale and enhance people’s confidence in the Empire’s crystal coins, the economic foundation of the entire “True Human Empire Orthodox Government” will be It's going to be wiped out.
This is the truth that Song Lixing said when he was furious - without money, who the hell knows whether you are an elector or Emperor Chengwu!
In addition, there is the most critical and fatal point.
The Elector Alliance has no clear understanding of the size and combat effectiveness of the Holy Alliance's main fleet.
This is a given.
From the very beginning, the "Imperial Senate" controlled by the four Electors has always insisted that the Empire's counterattack in the past twenty years was a resounding victory.
It has crushed the main force of the Holy Alliance and driven away all the Holy Alliance people.
After returning to their barren and desolate hometown, the Holy Alliance people could no longer cause any trouble.
Regarding Lei Chenghu's argument that the main force of the Holy Alliance had not suffered much losses and was still looking for opportunities for a decisive battle in the dark, the Gonggun princes above the temple all scorned.
Although such claims are somewhat boastful, after twenty years of bragging, many nobles have become immersed in the lie of victory, bragging to the point where even they are convinced of it.
There are no prophets, all-knowing and all-powerful gods in the four electorate camps.
How could they have imagined that the main force of the Holy Alliance was not only intact, but also inherited from the prehistoric era.
It is the most powerful super crystal brain in the entire Pangu universe so far.
"Fuxi" control?
Therefore, in the study and judgment of the four elector camps, the overall size and combat effectiveness of the Holy Alliance invasion fleet shrank by at least 70% compared to the real data.

By inputting such drastically reduced raw data into a crystal brain and conducting strategic deductions, a very "terrifying" conclusion was reached.
The Holy Alliance people's attack was nothing more than harassment, at most it was an angry revenge.
They were unwilling to accept dozens of worlds being taken away in vain, and they were desperate to retaliate against the Imperial Capital.
In other words, the Holy Alliance people are playing a trick of attacking the east and attacking the west.
They attack the imperial capital on the surface, but in fact the target is still the dozens of worlds they just lost.
In other words, it is possible for the "renovation rebels" to defend Jitianjie and Tianjixing.
This is quite bad.
No matter how much the nobles deny it on the surface, the fact is that the reformists have now bewitched the hearts of the vast majority of the people in the empire and the lower-level immortal cultivators.
They have some kind of "righteousness" in their hands, and they have become more and more "the aspiration of the people."
Everyone hopes to return.”
The Elector's side has been a complete mess in several consecutive battles, which is extremely disappointing.
If the reformists defeat the Holy Alliance invaders and defend the Jitian Realm and Tianji Star, wouldn't it be more confirmed that the other party is "real"?
The identity of "the emperor, the lord of the imperial capital"?
As one goes and the other goes, the hearts and minds of the people will further converge towards the reformists, and the electorate will really die without a burial place.
Therefore, this battle must be fought and must be won.
The revolutionary rebels must be completely annihilated when they are divided into east and west fronts and Lei Chenghu loses an arm, in order to regain the strategic initiative.
This can be regarded as some kind of "belief of victory", right?
In the next twelve hours, more accurate information was gradually transmitted to the palace in Huanglong Realm.
There is reliable news that the two "thief generals" Lei Chenghu and Bai Xingjian have been having friction in the past half month and have accumulated deep conflicts.
The biggest conflict is whether the troops should stop to take a breath and take a good rest.
Although the pace of the reform rebels' attack on the Jade Cauldron Realm seemed to be very smooth, and they did not encounter much resistance along the way, they ultimately used a small fleet to attack a huge planet, coupled with several consecutive "encirclements and reinforcements", It also consumed a lot of fuel, ammunition and soldiers' strength.
Although they did not capture the Jade Cauldron Star, they captured a large number of starships and supplies in the Starry Sky Battle Fortress.
The meaning of the White Star Sword is that the troops should suspend the attack for three days to digest and absorb the supplies in these starships and battle fortresses.
Otherwise, this battle will be too painful.
However, Lei Chenghu severely rejected his proposal and mercilessly reprimanded him for being a rogue bandit.
The suppression of Jade Cauldron Star could not stop for a second until the defenders surrendered.
If the defenders were given a chance to breathe, they would All previous efforts were wasted.
Both sides' opinions are not wrong, but there are subtle differences in their positions.
Lei Chenghu is dedicated to the new empire and will not hesitate to fight even if he fights to the death.
However, Bai Xingjian's selfishness is more serious and he regards the fleet under his command as his own.
With private property, how could he allow his capital to cross the star sea to be wasted in the civil war of the empire?
This was the starting point of the disagreement between the two.
Afterwards, the fiercer the war became, the deeper the gap between the two became.
Until news came that the Star Star Federation refused to send troops, it became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The White Star Sword will indeed be despicable and shameless.
The gangster style is brought into full play , when Lei Chenghu's troops launched a fierce attack on the Yuding Star No. 1 satellite, they retreated at full speed without hesitation, completely exposing Lei Chenghu's flanks.
When they retreated, they also took away most of the loot captured on the battlefield in the previous stage. , those nearly intact starships.
The commander of the garrison of Jade Cauldron Star was also a man who knew how to fight.
He took the opportunity to break out of the atmosphere and attacked Lei Chenghu's weak flank.
He actually dragged the fleet of the majestic "God of War" into a muddy melee.
Up to this moment, the chaotic battle was still going on.
As it continues, no matter how superb the commanding art is, it all depends on morale, courage and blood.
In this regard, the revolutionary bandits who have received bad news one after another will definitely not have an advantage.
Of course, most of the main warships of the Jade Cauldron Realm defenders have long since crashed into the sand or been taken away by the White Star Sword.
The defenders only have a few destroyers left, which can barely survive in low-Earth orbit.

It has been too long, and Lei Cheng The tiger can naturally get rid of the chaos, clean up the mess, and eat the defenders in one bite.
Therefore, the defenders of the Jade Cauldron Realm are now in urgent need of assistance from the Huanglong Realm's army to have a "final decision"!
This undeniable military information ignited the flames of war in the hearts of all the nobles.
Timidity and arrogance are two sides of the same coin.
The most timid souls are often easily burned by the illusory flames into arrogant and fearless light - although this light can only last for a short moment.
Yesterday, most of the nobles regarded Lei Chenghu as a demonic snake and scorpion and avoided him.
Now they were jumping up and down, gearing up, eager to smash the "God of War" sign on Lei Chenghu's head.
