"It is precisely out of consideration for the overall interests of the empire that I cannot make such a statement."
Lei Chenghu said expressionlessly, "The so-called 'Blood Covenant Incident' is simply a ridiculous conspiracy.
If it wasn't done by some people with ulterior motives in the Senate, it was done by our most dangerous enemy, the Covenant Alliance.
In There is absolutely no room for compromise on this matter.
"The reason why we refuse to make such a public statement is that, first of all, the Blood Alliance incident has not been investigated clearly.
We don't even know whether the Blood Alliance is responsible for it.
It is just a small radical organization of young officers.
How can it plan such a sophisticated plan?"
And a large-scale assassination, or even complete control of a ground assault ship?
“Behind this incident, there must be a higher-level force involved, and it’s not just the arbitrary actions of some radical frontline officers as you said!
"Second, this investigation report by your 'Guangtong' accuses the officers under my command of secretly joining the Blood Alliance and collaborating with colleagues from various frontline units.
It is a complete reversal of right and wrong and is full of loopholes!
"They are all very outstanding young people and are the pillars of the future of the empire.
At such a critical moment, I will never ambiguate my position or make any statement that will cause confusion to erode their and the future of the empire.
"Third, and most importantly, whether it is the Thunder Fleet or the bloody and scarred troops on the front line, even if some officers and soldiers are dissatisfied with the chaotic reality and have formed some small-scale discussion organizations, I personally feel that it is completely Understandable and supportive from a personal perspective.
"Yes, they are all soldiers.
It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders and they should not get involved in dirty politics.
"But they are also immortal cultivators.
The rise and fall of the world, the hegemony of empires, and the future of human civilization...these are the natural responsibilities of immortal cultivators, and they have the unshirkable responsibility to shoulder this responsibility!
"So, even if the final investigation comes out and it is true that the Blood Alliance planned and implemented the assassination of the empire's veteran Dongfang Tuo, I don't think there is a need to expand the investigation and manhunt.
The culpability that the Blood Alliance should bear should only be limited to the Blood Alliance.
It has nothing to do with discussing organizations with young officers such as the Wanying Club, the Charge Club, and the Black Clothes Club.
"On the contrary, not only do I disagree with the expansion of investigations and raids into other young officer organizations, I even think that these organizations should be brought to the surface and give young officers and cultivators a channel to openly talk to the Senate.
"Faced with the smoky and dark situation in the rear, the soldiers on the front line have resentments in their hearts.
This cannot be fundamentally solved by eliminating one or two organizations such as the Blood Alliance and the Ten Thousand Cherry Blossoms."
Dongfang Bai's eyes were bright, as if he was angry with Lei Chenghu's speech, but also seemed to be secretly happy because of the numerous "handles" in this speech.
He was ready to solidify Lei Chenghu's rebellious remarks, Pi Smiling but not smiling, he said: "I didn't expect Marquis Liaohai to be so aggressive towards the frontline officers.
Entering the organization, he has such an attitude.
However, please ask...
What does the "smoky and dark situation in the rear" mean?
Under the leadership of the Senate and His Majesty the Emperor, the current empire is not thriving and reaching the level it has been for thousands of years.
Is the peak and future bright?”
"Even you, a despicable, shameless, useless person who is scared to the point of weakness when you see the Holy Alliance people.
You only know how to find tricks, stir up troubles, intrigues, and selfishness.
You can rely on your background to climb to a key position in the expeditionary force's base camp.
Now, if you become an imperial major general, you can even interfere in military matters such as the reorganization of the expeditionary force.
Isn't this considered a "pistol and darkness"?
" Lei Chenghu said coldly, "There is no need to set a trap for me.
I know that countless people are watching this ridiculous 'review meeting' at this moment.
I will be responsible for every word I have said, even if I am asked to stand now."
On the rostrum of the Senate, I still said this!”
"you" Dongfang Bai gritted his teeth, and even raised his eyebrows.
He rolled his eyes quickly for a long time, but forced out a sinister smile, "Liao Haihou, have you ever understood that the purpose of this review meeting is to try to Clean up your relationship with the Blood Alliance and various young officer militant groups?
Fang is trying to defend you.
I never believe that you are the 'Leader of the Blood Alliance', let alone that you will incite rebellion among frontline officers.

However, your words are full of sympathy for the Blood Alliance and young radical officers, and you even have a vague intention to Their behavior endorsement is really... very embarrassing for us!"
"You're right."
Lei Chenghu didn't even glance at the trap set by Dongfang Bai, and stepped on it openly, saying calmly, "I don't agree with the blood alliance's assassination of the empire's veteran Dongfang Kuan, and I don't want to see the emperor's incomparable lust.
The glorious triumphal ceremony turned into a chaotic and bloody killing field, but they may not entirely oppose the ideas of many frontline young officer organizations, including the Blood Alliance.
"They are fighting on the front line and know the current situation of the front line and the enemy best.
The base camp and the Senate in the rear must listen carefully to their voices.
If this is done early, the 'Blood Alliance Incident' will never happen. ” Dongfang Bai became excited all of a sudden, leaving a drop of cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "Marquis Liaohai, you said that you are not necessarily completely opposed to the ideas of the radical officers.
Can you explain it in detail?
You know, the Blood Alliance will wait.
One of the core concepts of the radical officer organization is to resolutely oppose the reorganization and reorganization of the expeditionary force's base camp.
Instead, they will continue to increase troops to the front, continuously send a large amount of manpower and resources to it, and greatly enhance the independence of the expeditionary force!
"You just rejected the position of 'Commander of the Joint Command Headquarters', so... you actually agree with the concept of 'expansion of the expeditionary force'?"
"Yes."
Lei Chenghu said calmly, "The reason why I agreed to leave the Thunder Fleet this time and return to the imperial capital with you is to clarify my most determined position to the five hundred senators in the Senate.
The expeditionary force must not be reorganized or dismantled. , on the contrary, we should continue to expand the army and give our frontline soldiers greater autonomy, so that we can control the battle situation more flexibly and wait for opportunities to search for the main force of the Holy Alliance and carry out a decisive battle!
“I didn’t expect that I would be sent here by you on the way.
“However, there should be many elders paying attention to this review meeting, so it’s the same thing here.”
The air was deathly still.
The three prosecutors were stunned.
They didn't expect that Lei Chenghu could say such things so easily and without any effort... words that made the four Electoral Prince families tremble with fear and have trouble sleeping and eating.
The expeditionary force will never accept drawdown and will continue to expand!
And seek greater autonomy!
Lei Chenghu, this man hailed as the "God of War" by countless frontline officers and soldiers, what exactly does he want to do!
Dongfang Bai took out a delicate silk handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
It feels like catching a big shark while fishing.
"Why?"
At this moment, he became cautious and asked cautiously, "Marquis Liaohai, you should understand the delicate situation the expeditionary force is facing now, right?
We have achieved a crushing victory in the 'Empire Counterattack', and the rear is facing this The support for this war has also reached its limit.
It is time to recuperate and digest the fruits of victory.
"War is logistics, and our logistics can no longer support the next ten years of war.
It is time to take a break and recharge our batteries.
"Those dim-witted young radical officers may not understand such a simple truth, but I don't believe that an experienced battlefield veteran like you will not understand it.
"So, what is the real intention of continuing to expand the expeditionary force?
Please explain it to the Review Committee and the Senate."
Lei Chenghu looked at Dongfang Bai for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he almost shed tears: "Who told you that we achieved a 'crushing victory'?
Even us bloody soldiers on the front line dare not do this Say, you guys who only talk at the back, make up some self-deceptive good news all day long, over time, have you even been deceived?
"I have fought with the Holy Alliance all my life, and I know their style and methods well.
In the past ten years of the 'Empire Strikes Back', except for a very few battles that were aimed at consuming our army's effective strength, in most of the battles , the fighting will of the Holy Alliance people is much weaker than in the past, and the phenomenon of collapse at the first touch is everywhere.
There is no such thing as the momentum of fanatic believers who disregard life and death and fight to the end.
"It is completely unreasonable to say that the morale of the Holy Alliance people will drop to this level in just a few years.
It is more like conserving strength.
"To this day, we seem to have recovered dozens of worlds and hundreds of resource planets, but a large part of them were abandoned by the other side on their own initiative.
Before giving up, they also destroyed all the infrastructure on the planet and took them away.
The large amount of resources makes it impossible for these planets to continuously export troops and productivity to the empire within three to five years or even ten years.
"Wasting a large amount of the empire's troops, food and various resources only increased a certain strategic depth.

However, in today's world where 'star sea jumping' is the main force deployment mode, the so-called 'strategic depth' does not mean much.
"Therefore, there is no 'hearty victory' at all.
The empire at this moment is like a python that has just swallowed an elephant, but is being stared at by a new enemy, and is at the most dangerous juncture.
"Therefore, at all costs, we must continue to invest resources on the front line and expand the expeditionary force until we find the main force of the Holy Alliance and completely defeat it, and eliminate the enemy's main mobile force.
Only then can we safely digest the fruits of victory."
"The Empire has gone 'whatever it takes'!"
Dongfang Bai gritted his teeth and said: "In order to support this super war that swept dozens of worlds, I don't know how many people died in the farmlands and mines behind, and how many riots were triggered!"
"War is about killing people.
Since the war has reached this point, the competition is who has a more determined will to fight.
If 50 billion people need to die to win, then 50 billion people need to die.
If you need to fill in one One hundred billion, then one hundred billion!
Only in this way can the remaining people survive and build a new empire!”
Lei Chenghu said coldly, "If a riot breaks out, then suppress it severely.
Those soldiers and crab generals left behind will not be able to suppress the riots of a few primitive people or cultivators, right?"
