40,000 Years of Cultivation

"Hushuai really deserves to be Hushuai. It's a magnificent strategy."

Boss Bai is still unwilling to give up, saying coldly, "But no matter how big the cake is, it must be eaten before it counts. Have you ever considered that if our army's combat power is not enough to support such continuous combat and long-distance attacks, What should we do? The so-called "fighting Huanglong" is another way of saying it is an expedition of labor and a lone army. At that time, as long as some of the smallest accidents occur, the entire army may be wiped out!

"Only attacking Yuding Star first and transforming this material-rich planet into the center of our forward base and logistics supply line is the most secure strategy."

"Safe? There is no time for us to be safe!"

Lei Chenghu's face became darker and darker, and he said solemnly, "The movement of the Saint League fleet on the Western Front is becoming more and more ambiguous. It is possible to launch a fatal blow to the hinterland of the empire at any time. If I were the main fleet of the Saint League Commander, it is very likely that his sharpest soldier will be directly inserted into the heart of the empire!

"Once the news of the main fleet of the Saint League appearing in the imperial capital comes, the remnants of the four major electoral families will be even less likely to surrender. We will be in a dilemma, and we will be in a disadvantageous situation of being attacked by the enemy. At that time, even if we occupy a small What's the use of Yudingxing?"

"That's not the reason why you must insist on attacking the enemy's capital when you are tired of people and running out of ammunition and food!"

Boss Bai's anger also exploded again, and he snarled, "If the troops can't support it, how can they fight?"

"If we can't hold it, we must hold on. What we are fighting now is one breath, one victory after another, to stimulate the troops to rush into Huanglong. If you stop to rest, the breath will dissipate, and the combat effectiveness will fall to the bottom. I can't get up anymore!"

Lei Chenghu said loudly, "This is a bet on the fate of the empire. Even if we know it is a desperate bet with a slim chance, we still have no choice!"

"No, you have no choice, not ‘us’."

Boss Bai narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "No matter what Hu Shuai says, I always think your strategy is too risky. My son Lang, there is no reason to do such a'picking chestnut from fire' thing for the empire-we still have ourselves. Mission and mission."

As soon as these words came out, the two fell silent at the same time.

Yes, from the beginning, the differences between the two were not tactics and strategies, but different positions.

With the commanding art of Lei Chenghu, who has gone through hundreds of battles, I don’t know how reckless the troops are. , What an adventure.

With the countless times of hunting and plundering by Boss Bai, why don’t you know the importance of “time” and “mobility”? Why don’t you know how troublesome it is to use a fleet to pry open the crust of a planet? Stupid behavior is like piercing a rock with a sharp blade.

Thinking of his past career as a star thief, he was famously "fight and run." He had a problem with his brain and wanted to attack a heavily assembled planet. What **** ground warfare, public security warfare, and scorched earth warfare would be fought!

But the positions of the two and the mission they shoulder made them have to ignore the risks and omissions in their plans, and only hoped that a "miracle" would happen, and that they would be able to complete their work.

Lei Chenghu must hurry up before the emergence of the main fleet of the Saint League, solve the viable power of the four major electoral families, each deep space fleet capable of star-sea jump, and completely seal the remnants of the four major families in each lonely one. On the planet.

Boss Bai had to preserve his strength as much as possible, and fight for more bargaining chips for the future game between the Federation and the Empire, and even for his own plan.

After all, Boss Bai doesn't care about the difference between a cultivator and a cultivator. He is a star thief, and he is not a good man or a believer.

However, it is one thing to help the cultivator in war, it is another thing to go to the fire for the cultivator, risk unavoidable death, and lose his life in vain.

And this silence also revealed the biggest weakness of the rebellious coalition forces, that is, the command is not unified.

Lei Chenghu is the nominal commander of the rebel army, and both the white boss and the arsonist fleet will be controlled and dispatched by him.

But how could Boss Bai really surrender his military power to others? Of course, it is a self-contained system, just cooperating.

It's okay to say that when there is a series of great victories, when encountering such a tough battle, when the whole army is very likely to be annihilated, the rift between the two will undoubtedly be revealed and cannot be healed.

In the face of the rebellious White Boss, Lei Chenghu had no good way.

He won't turn his face with the only powerful ally at this juncture, right?

"Is there any news about your Federation's reinforcements?"

He can only change the topic to ease the tension.

That’s right, if the Xingyao Federation’s reinforcements can arrive in time, the strength of the rebel coalition forces will be greatly increased, and the strategizing will be much more calm. With the strength of Lei Chenghu and Boss Bai, they will surely be able to swallow the remaining evils of the four major families alive. .

"Not yet. It is still uncertain whether the Federation is willing to send reinforcements and how many reinforcements it can send."

Boss Bai said with a gloomy expression, "It’s so good that Hu Shuai knows that just a few years ago, the entire Starlight Federation’s war machine was still rumbling in order to guard against the real human empire, and even fought solidly against the Black Wind fleet belonging to the empire. A battle.

"Although the Black Wind Fleet did not invade the hinterland of the Federation, committing evil acts such as burning, killing, looting, etc., there were still countless Federation children who gave their precious lives in that battle.

"The Federation's hostility and vigilance towards the Empire has infiltrated the blood and bones of every federal citizen in a century of education. Now, in just a few months, we want to let the Federation people make a 180-degree turn and make painstaking efforts. The hundred-year-old Union Army fought to'defend the empire'. How difficult do you think it is?

"Yes, Li Yao is lost in the depths of the stars, and his wife is the current Federal Speaker, but the Federal Speaker is not the Emperor of the Empire. The decision whether to send troops or even declare war on the Covenant League is in the hands of the Parliament. The decision must also reflect the will of all citizens. If all citizens in society and public opinion are opposed to sending troops, the parliament and the speaker cannot risk the world's disgrace."

"So, this is why our empire doesn't need a **** council."

Lei Chenghu gritted his teeth and said, "Stupid parliament, stupid people, stupid so-called'public opinion', just using the idea of ​​a group of pigs to restrain a tiger, it will only drag the Starlight Federation into a dead end-as simple as'lips, teeth and cold'. The truth, don’t you understand, if the empire is destroyed and the Holy League rises, can the Federation hide in a corner of the star sea and take care of itself? But it’s just the difference between dying sooner or later!"

"I know, I think so too, but now it's too late to say anything. I can only wait quietly for the Federation to make their decision."

Boss Bai looked at Lei Chenghu and finally made concessions, "Hu handsome, even if you don’t agree to attack Yuding Star, at least let the troops capture Yuding Star’s main satellite, "Yuzixing", the docks and crystal mines above. , Smelting centers and arsenals are not without small supplements to our army, which is short of materials.

"Anyway, if you have to play the trick of'encircle the spot and fight aid', you must do a little bit of the trick to attract the enemy to be fooled, right?"

Lei Chenghu looked at Boss Bai for a long time.

"Okay, three days."

His neck was like a rusty gear, and he nodded hard, and gave birth to three mechanical fingers. "Within three days, we must break through the ground defense line of'Jade Star' and fully receive this satellite. I hope that before that, from Good news can come from the Star Federation!"

The light curtain gradually dimmed.

Lei Chenghu's face was replaced by a dark vacuum, burning stars and a shining planet like a cake.

Boss Bai looked at all of this, but his hollow eyes seemed to penetrate the three-dimensional universe, and he flew to a very distant place.

After a long time, he sighed faintly, and sent out the same emotion as Lu Qingchen.

"Federation, my federation!"

...

At the same time, Xinghai Beach, Xingyao Federation, Tianhuan Realm.

Just as Lei Chenghu and Boss Bai had a fierce dispute over the strategy of marching, on the super orbital dock outside Tianhuan, a large cruise ship that had just been rebuilt was being towed by the tugboat and slowly leaving Xinggang. Before the sea trial and live ammunition exercises, I can’t wait to join a newly formed huge fleet, bright like a group of stars.

On this cruise mothership, a fierce dispute also broke out in the secret meeting room.

The parties involved in the dispute include the high-level leaders in the federal political arena at the moment, the powerhouses of the various forces, and the generals and experts in the military and academia.

Federal Speaker Ding Lingdang, Secretary of the Secret Sword in the spring breeze, the former President of the Dark Moon Foundation, Jin Xinyue, the Chief of Staff of the Federal Army Bai Kaixin, Peng Hai, Meng Chixin, Han Baling... just these thunderous names and The faces that appear on the headlines every day can see the weight of the meeting or "dispute".

What they are concerned about is naturally the news from Li Yao and the empire, and what they are disputing is nothing more than whether the Federation will send troops and to what extent will it be involved in the maelstrom in the center of the star sea.

Such a meeting should have been held in Tian Yuanxing, the capital of the Federation.

But the fact that the Federation wants to interfere with the situation in the empire is too sensitive, especially the latest news of Li Yao’s disappearance. It is too serious and too destructive. Once it is exposed by the press, the ghost knows how earth-shattering the whole Federation will be triggered. Even before the army went out, morale was lost in half.

Therefore, the federal high-level officials decided to deal with it in a low-key manner first, conduct preliminary discussions and deductions in the form of a "think tank forum", and wait until a rough solution is come up with all the news, especially the news about Li Yao's disappearance. Open to the entire federation.
