"The snipe and the clam fight, and the fishermen benefit.
In the battle between the two behemoths, the Empire and the Holy Alliance, our federation is certainly not the fishermen, but we can still get a certain amount of breathing space from it."
Jiang Hailiu's view is similar to what Zhou Yifu said before the Nascent Soul Conference, "If there is only one super power in the center of the star sea, the True Human Empire, then they can concentrate all their resources and military power to defeat the weak forces on the edge of the star sea.
Our three Great Thousand Worlds are naturally not enough to compete with hundreds of Great Thousand Worlds."
"But now, the empire's biggest enemy is the Holy Alliance.
The two sides are engaged in a magnificent thousand-year war in the center of the star sea.
It is obviously impossible to mobilize too much military power to deal with us 'hillbillies' in the 'poor mountains and rivers'."
Jiang Hailiu's self-deprecating statement aroused laughter and made the atmosphere in the venue much more relaxed.
Jiang Hailiu also smiled slightly and continued: "Most of the information we collected about the 'True Human Empire' came from 'Xing Child', and Star Child also said in the battle with Li Yao, Luo Xingzi and other fellow Taoists Yes, the policy of the True Human Empire is quite 'generous'.
If they are willing to cooperate with the Empire, the Empire can give the Feixing Realm a high degree of autonomy, as long as the Feixing Realm continuously hands over its population, resources and powerful people. ” "These words may have a certain degree of credibility.
The Empire and the Holy Alliance are engaged in a closely matched, life-and-death war.
In this war, both sides are desperately collecting more of the world's population and resources, and investing them in the blazing war.
In the purgatory of war, whoever can collect more people, resources, and powerful people may be able to win the final victory!"
"Then the purpose of the Imperial Expeditionary Force will be revealed."
"It is not for long-term conquest, but to plunder a large number of people and resources in the shortest possible time to deal with the real life-and-death war between them and the Holy Alliance!"
"So, the expeditionary force we will face in one or two hundred years may not be the strongest army of the true human empire.
It is more likely to be a 'slave-catching team' or a 'predator' general existence, coming to find 'Cannon fodder'!"
"And we don't need to completely eliminate it.
As long as it realizes that the resources consumed by the continuation of the war will far exceed the benefits that can be gained from defeating us, this is a war of 'more gains than losses', then it will have Maybe you gave up!"
After Jiang Hailiu analyzed it like this, many Yuanying's eyes lit up.
Originally, everyone thought that the expedition of the True Human Empire would be a catastrophe that would cause the world to collapse.
But if you think about it carefully, war is an extension of politics, and politics is all about benefits.
No one would start a war without benefits.
As powerful as the real human empire, sending a huge expeditionary force millions or tens of millions of light years away is a laborious matter and consumes countless resources.
The people of the empire may be evil, but they are by no means idiots , what is the picture?
cannon fodder!
Their purpose in coming to the Federation is to collect a large amount of cannon fodder and go back to fight against the Holy Alliance!
In other words, as long as the Federation can inflict heavy losses on the Imperial Expeditionary Force and make the Empire realize that the input and output of this war are completely disproportionate, and that this transaction is very likely to "lose money", then the Federation will be able to continue to guarantee its independence. !
"Of course our federation will not be limited to winning this small defensive battle.
This is just our starting point!"
Jiang Hailiu said meaningfully, "War is the best catalyst for the advancement of civilization, and it is also the fastest way to learn from advanced civilization!
If we can really withstand the stormy offensive of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, then our civilization will definitely be able to leap forward.
A big step!”
"In the center of the Star Sea, the Empire and the Holy Alliance are fighting fiercely, killing everyone.
The Empire must have developed many tactics and magic weapons to deal with the Holy Alliance, and the Holy Alliance will inevitably develop countless killer weapons specifically against the Empire."
"If we in the Federation have the opportunity to go to the center of the Star Sea and learn how these two giant Star Sea beasts fight, how to bite each other's throats and dig out each other's hearts, then we will definitely have the opportunity to grow into a new Star Sea Giant Beast. !”
"You may think that I am fanciful, but we do not need to grow to the size of the Empire and the Holy Alliance.
Even if the comprehensive national strength is only one-tenth of theirs, it is enough."
"As long as the Empire and the Holy Alliance are evenly matched, like a scale that is barely balanced, then even if we are just a feather or a straw, we can affect the outcome of this 'balance of life and death'!"
"We have only one principle, 'hoe the strong and support the weak'.
If the Holy Alliance is strong and the Empire is weak, then we will temporarily unite the Empire to fight against the Holy Alliance; if the Holy Alliance, an emerging force, lacks stamina and is overtaken by the Empire, then Let’s unite with the Holy Alliance to fight against the empire!”
"In short, maintain the balance of power between these two super forces and prevent any one of them from completely gaining the upper hand.
Let them continue to lose blood in the long war and both sides will suffer.
We will take the opportunity to learn their most advanced martial arts and warfare methods until Finally, our minions are completely sharp, our wings are fully full, and we have become the top player in the sea of stars!”
"In short, in one sentence, there is hope for the Federation, and there is hope for the Three Realms!

As long as all fellow Taoists are firm in their Taoist aspirations and move forward hand in hand, we will not only be able to resist the invasion of any foreign enemies, but one day, we can even reach the center of the star sea and let 'humanity The four words "civilization" shine again in its true glory!"
Jiang Hailiu's impassioned ending set off thunderous applause, and all Yuanying and the Demon Emperor were excited.
As an old monster of Nascent Soul, who doesn’t have the ambition to dominate the sea of stars and dominate the universe?
Who is really willing to be trapped in a remote village on the edge of the Star Sea forever, and be treated as a "hillbilly" by the superpowers in the center of the Star Sea?
Especially when they learn that there are countless ordinary people in the center of the Star Sea who have been ravaged by the empire and the Holy Alliance, and are living a life worse than death.
Their Taoist hearts will never allow them to sit idly by.
"We are the most authentic spiritual heirs of the 'Star Sea Empire'!
We are the last guardians of human civilization!
Fight to the center of the Star Sea and let 'human civilization' regain its glory ten thousand years ago!"
Including Li Yao, every Nascent Soul, regardless of whether they were fighting types or not, were all breathing rapidly, and deep in their hearts, they made such a cry.
As for the mood of the demon kings, it was even more complicated.
Perhaps they still cannot understand the full meaning of the four words "human civilization" for a while.
But "fighting back to the center of the star sea" is a dream that their ancestors have dreamed about for ten thousand years, and it has penetrated into the depths of their blood!
For ten thousand years, the demon clan has been retreating steadily, losing one home after another, and losing one piece of homeland after another.
Until today, the blood demon world has become one of the last few demon worlds.
Even in the past, the Blood Demon Realm was slightly more powerful than the Tianyuan Realm, but every demon king in the Ten Thousand Demon Palace also understood that "fighting back to the center of the star sea" was simply nonsense and was absolutely impossible.
A dream come true!
But now, if we join forces with the Starry Federation, is there such a slim chance to fight back to the center of the star sea?
Even if you have to change your banner, your identity, or even your appearance, you're still going back to your hometown after all!
For a moment, the demon kings looked at each other and their breathing became rapid.
"What Fellow Daoist Jiang said is true.
I also think that the Federation has great hope.
In fact, the strength gap between the Federation, the Empire, and the Holy Alliance may not be as big as we imagined!"
Historian Zhou Yifu spoke again, "Yes, we only control three great worlds now, while the Empire and the Holy Alliance, which occupy the essence of the central area of the Star Sea, may each control hundreds of great worlds!"
"But the comparison of our comprehensive national strength is by no means as simple as 'one to a hundred'!"
"I wonder if you all know anything about the 'Empire Territory Limit Theory'?
Limited by the complexity of communication, transportation and information processing, no matter how huge the empire is, it has its expansion limit, just like no matter how powerful the ancient beast is, It is also impossible to grow without limit.
When it expands to a certain size, it must stop growing, otherwise it is very likely to be crushed by its own weight!
" “In the definition of modern cosmology, the vast world we live in is ‘a resource gathering area that can be reached in a short time through conventional navigation means under sub-light speed conditions’.”
"Within the same vast world, transportation can be carried out at sub-light speed or even lower speeds.
The exchange of resources and population is relatively easy, and the control is the strongest."
"And between different worlds, we must rely on the methods of 'shattering the void', 'breaking the three-dimensional space barrier', and 'starry sky jumping' to communicate.
This consumes countless resources and is extremely dangerous.
It can easily lead to disasters."
Into the turbulence of the four-dimensional space, annihilated into nothingness!”
"Don't use 'starry sky jumping', or use sublight speed or even light speed navigation?
Those two vast worlds that are one hundred thousand light years apart will take a full one hundred thousand years to reach, and this does not include the expansion of the universe itself!"
"Think about it, everyone, today we just brought together three powerful people from the world.
To hold such a meeting, we have to use the 'Array-type Star Sea Communication Formation' to burn countless crystals every second.
We have to worry about interference from high-dimensional space storms, and there will be signal delays of several minutes or even longer!”
"Then, even if the True Human Empire and the Covenant Alliance really have hundreds of worlds each, how much control do their rulers have over these worlds?
How can the empire's capital, Jitianjie and Tianjixing, ensure control over these worlds?
What about the absolute control of another world tens of millions of light years away?"
"The broader the territory of the empire, the weaker the control over the borders, and the higher the internal friction of the empire.
Eighty-nine times out of ten, the national power is not consumed in foreign wars, but is wasted on the vast territory of the empire.

In the end, it is not necessarily the external enemies that bring down the empire, but the hugeness of the empire itself, and the bloated and clumsy bureaucracy developed to cope with this hugeness.
This is true both in ancient and modern times!"
