Li Yao deeply believed in what Li Linghai said.
Even the expression full of fanaticism and idealism on Li Linghai's face had been seen on the faces of countless federal soldiers.
In a country that has been at war for years, or faces severe military pressure or war threats, it is extremely easy for the military to condense into a huge beast and an indestructible interest group.
At least that's the case in the Starry Federation.
The federal military has great power.
It has its own mines, smelters, magic weapon refining factories and various military-industrial complex enterprises.
It even has one-third of the seats in the federal parliament.
It can compete with the cultivators. .
One-third of the seats are for the military, one-third for the practicing sects, and one-third for ordinary people.
This is the rough balance of power in the Federal Parliament.
Not to mention, the people of Xingyao Federation are tough and respect martial arts, and the social status of military personnel is extremely high.
The "Disabled Veterans Association" extends its tentacles to every corner of the civilian population, safeguarding the interests of military personnel to the greatest extent, and of course also forming A virtuous circle encourages young people to actively sign up to join the army and defend the Federation and cultivation civilization.
At least, in the more than a hundred years from the birth of Li Yao to the birth of the New Federation and the defeat of the Black Wind Fleet, the huge beast of the Federation military has indeed made great contributions to the stability and unity of the Federation and the happy life of the people.
Tragic sacrifice has positive value.
But once this giant beast gets out of control, it may still cause unimaginable consequences.
In the early days of the Starry Star Federation, there were soldiers who intervened in politics, subverted the regime, formed a "junta", and forced all cultivators in the world to join the army, known as the "Red Dragon Army" "A painful lesson.
Just a hundred years ago, there was an incident where federal intelligence chief Lu Zui colluded with the important military figure "Tie Shuai" Zhou Hengdao in an attempt to hijack the entire country.
As the old saying goes, "When you are armed with a sharp weapon, you are ready to kill."
Soldiers hold chain swords and bolt guns in their hands, wear crystal armor, and step on starships.
They are surrounded by colleagues who fight side by side and share life and death. , can converge into a torrent of steel across the sea of stars.
For the soldiers in this torrent of steel, surging ambitions are ignited.
They believe that they have a great responsibility for the country, the nation and the entire civilization.
They are extremely eager to save the country while establishing military honors and realizing personal values.
It's a natural thing.
Therefore, it is only normal that the imperial soldiers are eager to end the current fragmented situation controlled by nobles and clans and establish a unified, powerful, and "glorious" imperial army!
Perhaps now the top commanders of the various Star Sea Fleets and elite crystal armor battle groups of the Imperial Army are all served by nobles and nobles, in order to achieve a high degree of control over the army.
But those middle and low-level officers, especially the grassroots officers who have to fight on the front line, are not necessarily nobles and nobles, right?
Li Linghai also said just now that the high-level immortal cultivators in the empire are now living longer and longer.
If the aristocratic commander of a fleet really does not move his position for two hundred years, and seems to be able to live a glorious and leisurely life for another hundred or two hundred years, and Li Yao is a junior officer under him who fought bloody battles on the front line and narrowly escaped death, Then Li Yao is going to rebel!
"Now the people of insight within the empire, whether they are the low-level immortal cultivators who see no hope, or the world owners and mine owners in the resource world on the periphery of the empire who are sucked by blood and whose wool is constantly being sheared by the scissors of industry and agriculture, are wandering in the sea of stars and suffering.
Looking for business opportunities but never found any The merchants who cannot enter the aristocratic monopoly industry, or as I just said, the young officers in the imperial army who have ideals, ambitions, and the desire to make contributions and save the country, are all hated by the aristocrats and nobles headed by the four electorate families. !”
Li Linghai put his hands on his back, and from the depths of his crystal-clear eyes, he shot out the light that penetrated the sea of stars, and said lightly, "From top to bottom, everyone can see the extremely sharp contradictions, everyone is lurking and enduring, and everyone is longing for it.
An earth-shaking and completely reborn change, completely destroying the old system that was both golden and corrupt, and building a glorious and great new empire!
"You should know that in the past ten years, the empire has launched a magnificent and devastating strategic counterattack against the Holy Alliance.
This is the largest offensive launched by the empire against the Holy Alliance in the past five hundred years.
It really used the entire strength of the empire. " Li Yao nodded heavily.
It was this earth-shattering strategic counterattack that prevented the empire from investigating the true situation of the Black Wind Fleet, and prevented it from sending a new expeditionary force to the Federation.
It indirectly saved the Federation's life.
How could Li Yao not know this?
"In fact, at the beginning, the nobles and nobles headed by the four electors did not agree with such a fierce strategic counterattack plan.
They have been like this for the past five hundred years.
They focused more on defense in strategic choices, and even retreated.
If you don’t come out, you will be beaten passively.”
Li Linghai narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Many times, this is not a military issue, but a political issue.
Too radical a military strategy is very likely to lead to a loss of everything and seriously damage the interests of the nobles and clans.

“However, in the border areas, they can keep their own territory and interests safe and sound by maintaining strong walls and being unable to retreat.
"As for the world where the border star field has been ravaged to the point of being devastated?
It's not their territory anyway, so they don't care.
Instead, they can use the hands of the Holy Alliance people to weaken the strength of the rising stars and prevent the emergence of new 'cake sharers'.
Why?
What about enjoying it but not doing it?
"A hundred years ago, in the star field on the border of the empire, there was a new armed force called the 'Black Wind Fleet'.
It survived the arduous war and became stronger and stronger as it fought.
"The Black Wind people shocked the entire empire with their unruly, cruel methods, and courage to fight.
They were very likely to become the 'cake sharers', but in the end, they still collapsed, and even their home world fell into Of course, it has now been recovered from the hands of the Holy Alliance.
"The collapse of the Black Wind Fleet was certainly due to the Holy Alliance's rampant attack and improper command, but was it possible that the four Electoral Prince families refused to save others, or even used knives to kill others?
"Anyway, I come from the Li family, and I have seen too much about the various methods used by the Li family to deal with competitors in the past thousand years.
"It's just that today, a thousand years later in the history of the empire, the internal conflicts have become so acute that even the four Elector families cannot pretend to be deaf and mute and turn a blind eye.
"Foreign war is always the best way to divert internal conflicts.
“If we don’t launch a large-scale foreign war and divert the resources, population, anger and ambitions of the conflicting parties, a volcano will erupt within the empire and the world will be turned upside down!
"This is why the nobles and clans, uncharacteristically, united with the emerging warlords in the outer world, the middle- and lower-class young officers in the fleets and battle groups, and the low-level immortal cultivators eager to make achievements, to launch the 'largest strategic counterattack in five hundred years' The deepest reason!”
The queen peeled off the cocoon and spoke eloquently, which made Li Yao suddenly realize and gain a deeper understanding of the current political ecology and balance of power in the True Human Empire.
"The original idea was very beautiful."
Li Linghai observed Li Yao's expression and said calmly, "The dozens of great worlds, hundreds of fragmented worlds and resource planets that were recovered in the strategic counterattack can all be given to small and medium-sized enterprises that have only emerged in the past few hundred years.
Nobles, rulers of remote worlds, grassroots young officers, and all other powerful people who did not gain enough benefits in the first five hundred years, and even the royal family can be allocated one or two worlds to expand the scope of their direct territories.
“In this way, we can resolve each other’s conflicts and reach a new consensus of interests.
"but…… "Would it be better to say that the four Electoral Prince families are afraid that these emerging interest groups will continue to expand after gaining new territories and eventually threaten their dominance, so they have to take precautions and strike first to gain strength, or should we simply say that they are nothing but idiots?"
How about eating shit?
“In short, under the banner of ‘equal distribution of interests’, the first four elector families encouraged their own young officers and small and medium-sized sects, as well as warlords and powerful men from remote worlds to participate in this strategic counterattack.
"The Holy Alliance is not something to be trifled with.
In the arduous war, it was these young grassroots officers, small and medium-sized sects, and emerging warlords in remote worlds who made the most sacrifices and suffered heavy losses to regain the world one after another.
"However, when the empire has regained all the territories lost over the past millennium, once again drove the Holy Alliance back to their barren home a thousand years ago, and has initially stabilized the defense line, and can start to 'divide the cake,' those great nobles will And the family members actually... regretted it.
"Haha, when these dozens of worlds are still under heavy defense by the Holy Alliance people and seem extremely difficult to conquer, it is very easy to make the decision to hand them over.
"And when all these worlds have returned to the embrace of the empire, like washed cherries and lychees for you to taste, then how can these stubborn nobles and nobles be willing to give it to others?
Woolen cloth?
“Not only were they unwilling to stand on the sidelines and watch others carve up dozens of worlds like wolves and tigers, but they also thought they had discovered an ‘opportunity’ smartly.
"You must know that in this extremely brutal strategic counterattack, countless small and medium-sized sects, relatively independent Star Sea Fleets, and world lords in remote worlds all suffered heavy blows.
They lost troops, were stranded, ran out of ammunition and food, and left far away.
After leaving his base camp and going deep into the front line where the environment was unfamiliar to him, many war supplies relied on the four Electoral Prince families to continuously supply them.
In other words, they were strangled by the big nobles.
"Isn't this the best time to annex them?
"Not only do the newly acquired dozens of worlds do not need to be handed over to others, but the territories of these small and medium-sized nobles and emerging warlords can also be swallowed up in one go.
Wouldn't it be great for the four Electoral Prince families to once again ensure their dominance in the empire?"
A deal that kills two birds with one stone and makes a lot of money?
"That's what these pigs think."
