Li Yao felt like scratching his head.
Why do things always seem to happen wherever I go?
However, this time, the situation in the True Human Empire is more confusing and complicated than the situation in the past Feixing Realm, Blood Demon Realm, Federation and Ancient Saint Realm.
This is a huge whirlpool involving hundreds of worlds and tens of millions of star sea battleships.
Frowning, Li Yao felt that the "Blood Alliance Incident" was not simple.
However, he was more interested in the contents of the leaflets distributed by the Blood Alliance.
After thinking about it, he asked, "By the way, this leaflet said that Dongfang Tuo intends to make peace with the Holy Alliance, so he is a great traitor to the empire and is despicable and shameless.
The surrender faction, is this true or false?”
"Whether Dongfang Tuo has made peace with the Holy Alliance or even secretly contacted the Holy Alliance people is naturally unknown, but he is indeed a peace advocate.
He has repeatedly proposed in the Senate to end the war as soon as possible, and even blocked the logistics and The transportation of military supplies was used to curb the reckless intrusion of some fleets, so it also offended many frontline officers.
Perhaps because of this, the Blood Alliance regarded him as the first assassination target. " Li Linghai said, "Of course, Dongfang Tuo is only a representative of the overall interests of the four Elector families.
The current situation is that the four Elector families want to end the war as soon as possible, while the small and medium-sized nobles, world lords and emerging warlords on the periphery of the empire But they still want to continue the attack, and the two sides are in a stalemate, and the conflict is increasingly intensifying. " Li Yao was slightly startled: "Why is this?"
"It's very simple.
The four elector families want to carve up the dozens of newly recovered worlds as soon as possible, and determine and solidify each other's interests and even spheres of influence.
If they want to carve up the benefits, they naturally need a stable environment.
If the front line If we are still fighting fiercely day and night, there is no way to distribute the benefits.”
Li Linghai explained, "But for the small and medium-sized nobles and emerging warlords in the outer world of the empire, they do not have much confidence that they can take too many advantages in dividing the interests, even if they are given a few resource planets, which are far away from them Their home bases are too far away, and they do not have enough troop projection and material transmission capabilities to protect and operate these planets.
Sooner or later, they will be taken away by others.
"In other words, most of the dozens of worlds that have been recovered with so much hard work in the past ten years are destined to fall into the belly of the four electorate families.
“But going on offense is different.
"When you recover a new planet, you can dig deep into the ground, plunder all the resources on the planet, hide them in your own fleet, or transmit them back to your home base through secret channels.
“Not to mention the accumulated military exploits can also be used as bargaining chips.
You can also falsely report battle losses and get a lot of supplements from the rear.
“As for the subsequent construction and operation of this planet, it has nothing to do with these warlord fleets.
"Think about it, if you were a world lord in the outer world of the empire, a warlord with a miscellaneous fleet, would you rather continue to plunder like this, or end the war, go back to your remote country and drink the northwest wind?
"Many times, the Holy Alliance may not even implement a 'scorched earth strategy' on the planets they abandoned, but the emperors who recovered these planets carried out devastating plunder, and then lied that the planet had long been a scorched earth expedition.
At the military base camp, what can we do with these greedy and unruly guys?
"All the miscellaneous armies and local warlords do this.
How can the direct descendants of the four elector families wipe out all the miscellaneous armies and local warlords?"
Li Yao pondered for a long time: "I understand.
The four electorate families hope to use the miscellaneous armies and local warlords to rush to the front to open up territories for the empire, that is, for them.
By the way, they can also weaken the power of the miscellaneous armies and local warlords. ; But the motley crew and local warlords are neither good nor kind, let alone He was a fool, but he was the first to squeeze out the use value of the newly recovered territory, and then lied about how many battleships he had lost and was in urgent need of supplies and even ordnance.
In the end, he returned with a full load, but he blamed the four Electoral Prince families and wiped their butts.
In short, both sides They are not good birds."
"Yes, although the language is crude, you summed it up very correctly."
Li Linghai couldn't help but curl up with a sarcastic smile, and said, "The four Electoral Prince families have dominated the empire for hundreds of years, but they treat everyone else as monkeys and pigs, and they think they can play with the people of the world at will.
"Perhaps at the beginning of the war, they did have the thoughts you just mentioned, hoping that the miscellaneous armies and local warlords could 'serve as kings' and fight against the Holy Alliance so that both sides would lose, and they would be able to reap the benefits.
"But they underestimated two points.
The first is the greed, cunning and cunning of the motley crew and local warlords, and the second is the Holy Alliance's will to resist.
"During the hundreds of years since the true human empire opened and expanded, it has encountered several powerful cultivator countries and independent regimes, and finally defeated the enemy with overwhelming success.
Judging from the standards of these former enemies, dozens of industrial worlds After being captured, the main fleet was defeated again and again, and was completely routed.
The so-called 'will to resist' should be gone, and they must surrender obediently.
“But the Holy League is clearly not any other country that the Empire has ever conquered.
"The people of the Holy Alliance can be said to be fanatical believers of the Pangu tribe who absolutely believe in their true god; they can also be said to be flesh-and-blood machines that have obliterated human nature and have no concept of fear and pain.
"How could a fanatic or a flesh-and-blood machine choose to surrender?

"So, even if dozens of worlds are lost, and even if several main fleets are defeated and turned into scattered sand, there is still no sign of instability within the Holy Alliance.
It seems that this thousand-year war will continue for another thousand years.
It doesn’t matter.”
Li Yao said: "But the empire can't stand it anymore?"
Li Linghai smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, no matter how many differences there are between cultivators and immortal cultivators, at least we are all people with emotions and free thoughts.
We will suffer and resist.
The empire has shed too much blood in this war. , the national economy is on the verge of collapse, so the war must be ended as soon as possible no matter what.
Otherwise, not only will the current front line be unable to hold, but the dozens of worlds just acquired may be lost again, and even the hinterland of the empire will be endangered. !
"Although I appreciate the patriotic enthusiasm of young officers on the front line, on this point, I hold the same position as Dongfang Tuo, that is, the four electorate families.
I am not a fanatical warmonger.
The war must end.
If there is any If there is a chance of making peace with the Holy Alliance, I will try it."
Li Yaoqi asked: "Is it possible to make peace with the Holy Alliance people?"
"Why isn't it possible?"
Li Linghai said lightly, "The thousand-year-old war between the Empire and the Holy Alliance is not fought every year.
There is always a time for both sides to stop and take a breath.
Otherwise, both the Empire and the Holy Alliance would have been defeated long ago."
Li Yao could accept Li Linghai's statement intellectually, but he still couldn't accept it emotionally: "I just think it's a bit weird for the Empire and the Holy Alliance to negotiate peace."
"Then, isn't it strange that a cultivator and an immortal cultivator are talking on the flagship of an 'Imperial Rebel'?"
Li Linghai glanced at Li Yao, "Both I and the four Elector families have a lot of realists.
For a realist, 'ideas' are never the first consideration, and 'profits' are never the first consideration."
'That's right, as long as there are enough benefits, let alone the Holy Alliance people or cultivators, even the demons from outside the territory, why can't they cooperate, at least for a temporary truce?"
Li Yao was speechless.
It seems that he should be lucky that the Imperial Queen Li Linghai is not a "fundamentalist" immortal cultivator.
If he was really the purest kind of cultivator, I'm afraid that if he saw him as a cultivator for the first time, he should draw his sword and chop him, right?
After sorting out his somewhat messy thoughts, Li Yao nodded and said, "I understand, what should we do now?"
Li Linghai stared at Li Yao with deep eyes for a long time, as if he had made up his mind to make a desperate move, and said word by word: "Can I trust you absolutely?"
Li Yao said calmly: "If what you do is, as you said earlier, of great benefit to all ordinary people in the empire, then you can trust me absolutely."
"good!"
Li Linghai's eyes shrank, as if he had turned into two swords that had been dusty for a long time, but still had broken hair when they were unsheathed.
He said in a deep voice, "Let us'renovators' come to power.
It will definitely be better than the current powerful and powerful people who control the government and treat ordinary people.
More benefits.
“But with the ‘Blood Alliance Incident’, our career is in jeopardy!
"I secretly left the Imperial Capital to kill Li Lingfeng, leaving behind a specially trained stand-in in the Imperial Capital.
I can handle it in normal situations, but when encountering such chaos, there will definitely be flaws.
"We have been forced into a corner and have no choice but to show our cards early!
"Our strength has not yet been accumulated, and the risk of an early showdown is naturally extremely high.
What follows is very likely to be a series of extremely dangerous bloody battles.
At this time of life and death, a powerful god-transformer like you, who has dual talents of combat and weapon refining, Undoubtedly, it is our trump card and has the power to turn the world around!
"Vulture Li Yao, I can promise you in the name of the Empress of the Empire that as long as you are willing to work together with our fellow Taoists of the 'Renovation Sect' to overcome the difficulties and seize the entire empire, everything you want can be granted to you.
I won’t be stingy if you get even unexpected benefits!”
Li Yao blinked: "Uh, what about?"
"for example……" Li Linghai smiled slightly and said, "Three days ago, an empire senator unfortunately passed away.
It is expected that in the next year and a half, hundreds of empire senators will die one by one.

There are 500 seats in the empire senator.
Perhaps half of it will be vacant, and new veterans are urgently needed to fill it.
"Have you ever thought about becoming an imperial senator?"
