There is a saying that "God of War" Lei Chenghu said very correctly.
After humans have mainly explored the three-dimensional universe in the form of "star sea jumping" and conquered thousands of worlds and tens of thousands of resource planets, in any cosmic war, "attack" will always be a hundred times easier than "defense" .
Lei Chenghu is not an external enemy.
He is a high-ranking member of the Imperial Army.
He is a battlefield veteran who has been with the Imperial Army for two hundred years.
He is more likely to receive help from the mysterious forces from the Imperial Capital to navigate the various worlds of the Empire. , troop distribution and jump coordinates are all well understood.
He can choose his attack target at will and suddenly appear in any star field.
But it is destined that the defenders cannot evenly distribute all their forces to every world and every planet, otherwise they will only be defeated one by one and can only focus on it.
The attacker has almost unlimited attack initiative, and what limits them is resources.
Yes, the attackers have an unlimited choice of targets during the first jump strike, but that choice and the ensuing battle will also use up all of their meager fuel and ammo.
If the first battle fails to achieve brilliant results and does not receive effective supplements, it will inevitably be unable to launch the second jump and will be trapped alive on the burning battlefield.
This kind of attack and defense is somewhat like a duel between two gunmen holding flintlock guns.
A flintlock gun can only fire once.
It is certainly advantageous to fire first, but if you miss, you will almost end all hope.
Predicting the Thunder Fleet's first attack target has become the top priority of the "late shooter".
And when the words "respect the emperor and fight against rebellion, innovate with magic and martial arts" spread throughout the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, including every pair of ears in the Senate, Lei Chenghu's goal was already obvious.
That's right, for the resentful officers and soldiers on the front line, and for the aggrieved remote and small and medium-sized world interest groups, what better place than the imperial capital to cause a riot?
Theoretically, the "rebels" gathered hastily in the third theater alone cannot capture the imperial capital.
But everything is possible in war.
Didn't Wu Yingqi, the former border general of the Xinghai Republic, also use a similar "decapitation tactic" to attack the capital, control the parliament, massacre the members, trigger a chain reaction, and finally usurp the entire country in one fell swoop?
The lessons learned by the "Founding Emperor" were so clear that the Dukes of the Senate could not help but tremble with fear, for fear of repeating the same mistakes.
Today's Imperial Senate would become the Republic's Parliament a thousand years ago.
Ghostly rumors are heard in the streets and alleys and even deep in the cracks of the earth.
Many people know that the banner of the rebels has been raised high throughout the Star Sea, and is about to sweep across the Imperial Capital with thunderous force.
Even if it cannot conquer the Imperial Capital, it will smash the heart of the Star Sea to pieces.
More secretive information from various channels categorically states that the investigation into the "Blood Alliance Incident" some time ago has aroused strong dissatisfaction from all parties.
Now, various forces in the imperial capital, except for the four electorate families, have Many people secretly turned to the rebels, the "reformers" camp.
As soon as Lei Chenghu's fleet appears outside the Jitian Realm, these forces will rise up, cooperate with the Jinglei Fleet internally and externally, and take over the imperial capital in one fell swoop!
The intelligence systems of the four Electoral Prince families were working at ten times the speed to find the source of these rumors.
They really caught many sneaky guys and even uncovered several secret bases of the reformists.
The result of the severe torture of the members of the reformists was news like a thunderbolt from the clear sky.
The reformist faction led by the Imperial Queen Li Linghai has been working hard in the Imperial Capital for decades and has penetrated into every key node of the Imperial Capital.
The seemingly airtight defense system has long been riddled with holes.
This shocking information is like the poisoned dagger that has been stabbed into the throats of the senators.
The elders had long been wary of Li Linghai's ambitions, but no matter how wary they were, they only limited her to the scope of "palace struggle".
They did not expect that she would use such crazy means to conquer the empire outside the imperial capital.
On the periphery, a powerful rebel army was pulled up.
Based on the comprehensive calculation from Queen Li Linghai's infiltration into the Imperial Capital, coupled with the powerful combat effectiveness of the Thunder Fleet, if the reformists really made a desperate move and attacked the Imperial Capital regardless of the consequences, they would have at least a 20% to 30% certainty of capturing part of the ground area of Tianji Star.
If the two sides really fight on the ground of the imperial capital and split the heart of the empire in half, the thousand-year empire will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
The elders from the four Electoral families may not be very loyal and passionate about the word "Empire".
Many ambitious guys have even thought about it more than once in their hearts.
If the Empire really falls apart, the dozen or twenty people they control will The whole world is self-contained, wouldn't it be satisfying to become an emperor yourself?
However, these Nascent Soul and God Transformation bosses all possess extremely strong calculation power and a high degree of rationality.
They know that the words "True Human Empire" are the "biggest agreement" between various intertwined and complicated interest groups. number".
The empire may be terrible and annoying, but without it, hundreds of worlds will once again become a piece of scattered sand, entering a new "Star Sea Warring States Era" that is more cruel than the past.

They are bound to kill each other and attack each other until everyone is exhausted, both sides suffer losses, and are destroyed one by one by the Holy Alliance.
Since any of the four Electoral families are not sure that they can swallow up the entire sea of stars in one go, the empire has become an existence that they have to defend.
To defend the empire, there must be no trouble in the imperial capital.
Any large-scale war that occurs in the imperial capital will inevitably trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions.
With the increase of the butterfly effect, it will evolve into a Jedi storm sweeping the entire empire!
"The rebels must not be allowed to penetrate the atmosphere of Tianji Star!"
"The ambitions of the Thunder Fleet and the reformists must be killed in the cold star sea outside the extreme heaven!"
This is the unanimous voice of the elders.
To achieve their goals, the military machines of the four Electoral Prince families were operating in the most violent manner.
A month ago, when the Blood Alliance Incident occurred, the four Electoral Prince families dispatched countless elite warships to the Imperial Capital to control the situation.
Today, they did not hesitate to waste fuel and starships, and ordered more elites from the family territory to appear in the Jitian Realm and Tianji Star as quickly as possible to replace those defenders who were very likely to have an affair with the reformists and whose loyalty was very doubtful. military.
In just twenty-four hours, more than fifteen fleets have jumped to the imperial capital.
Even the Imperial Capital, which is full of space folds and stable wormholes, is famous for its dense star sea lanes and the endless flow of starships, rarely welcomes so many super battleships arriving at the same time, tearing apart ripples that ripple out in the four-dimensional space. , just like the waves of the sea, which cannot be calm for a long time.
It is very ironic that whether the reformist "rebels" or "rebels", or the elites of the four Electoral families, were quickly summoned for the same reason to protect the wise, mighty, invincible, and infinitely great Emperor!
With the reinforcements of fifteen fleets, plus the more than ten fleets originally stationed in the Imperial Capital, the number of fleets scattered throughout the Jitian Realm and Tianji Star has reached a terrifying number of nearly thirty.
The best combat forces of the entire True Human Empire, except those in the frontline war zones, have all gathered in the Imperial Capital, quietly waiting for the appearance of the Thundering Fleet.
The rebels will definitely come, all the senators firmly believe this.
Because there are no rebels at the rear base, the resources can sustain the daily consumption of the fleet for at most one month.
Every day that passes, the balance of victory tilts one point towards the side of the four Electoral Prince families.
In this confrontation of wills, the first to collapse are destined to be Li Linghai, Lei Chenghu and the so-called "reformers"!
However … The true human empire, the second quadrant, one of the four electorate families, the core territory of the Li family, the Guyu Realm, and the Rain God Planet.
This is a planet with abundant rain and resources, which is very suitable for growing various spiritual crops.
What's even more rare is that the underground of this planet also contains various rare crystals and metal veins, forming an extremely rare "industrial and agricultural composite planet" that is highly rated among all planets in the empire.
Naturally, the Li family built a continuous chain of psychic farms and crystal mines around the Rain God, and developed a glorious city that could accommodate tens of billions of people.
They also built a super giant in the synchronous orbit of the Rain God.
The space shipyard can refine almost all levels of warships below heavy destroyers.
In a word, this is one of the most important core worlds of the Li family, and it even shoulders the important task of transporting resources to several nearby worlds.
This can be seen from the three super-giant starry sky gates that are spread out on the periphery of the synchronous orbit of Pluto and are thousands of kilometers long.
These three star gates are like three giant lighthouses in the shape of an equilateral triangle.
The light they emit is enough to tear apart the four-dimensional space, spread instantly throughout the entire empire, and guide starships from all directions of the empire to jump in an endless stream.
The rain god is coming.
Rain God Star, Star Gate No. 3.
In the past twenty-four hours, too many fleets from various worlds of the Li family jumped to the Guyu Realm.
They replenished fuel and ammunition here and then jumped to the Imperial Capital.
The staff of the three starry sky gates were all exhausted and their souls were burned. , navigating desperately.
At this moment, the emergency mobilization has temporarily come to an end, and everyone's tense nerves have relaxed a little.
Many people are fast asleep in the messy operation room.
Even those who are still sticking to their posts are exhausted and can't stop fighting. , let No matter how much the boss scolded him, he couldn't cheer up.
Occasionally, there were a few guys who relied on drugs to cheer up, but they had weird faces and hid in the corner, whispering about the reformists who suddenly jumped out of the darkness and what was about to happen in the imperial capital.
A good show.
At this moment, a sharp alarm sounded throughout the control center of Stargate No. 3.
