Chapter 2194 Stupid General

Li Yao blinked, and said in his heart that "Battle of Black Wind" was the source of everything. .

It was precisely because of the Battle of Black Wind that the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet went on an expedition to the borderlands of the Star Sea, which led to the formation of a "New Federation" in the worlds of the borderlands of the Star Sea to defend against the enemy.

It was also because of the Battle of the Black Wind that the True Human Empire suffered a disastrous defeat, and it was only in the last hundred years that the continuous reforms and reforms loosened the rule of the four major elector families, and even gave birth to a reformist and careerist like Li Linghai.

Now, even the legend of General Lei Chenghu has something to do with the Battle of Black Wind.

Li Linghai sighed and said, "In the past thousand years, the Empire and the Holy League have competed for the hegemony in the center of the Star Sea. Although the Holy League has repeatedly attacked aggressively, the Empire has always stood firm and has not shown any obvious signs of decline.

"Especially in the last few hundred years, the offensives of the Holy League have become more chaotic and impatient. Many high-ranking officials of the empire believe that the national power of the Holy League has been seriously overdrawn. Their lives are dedicated to their 'God', but they are gradually unable to support them.

"So, the empire is full of optimism, thinking that if we stick to the Xinghai defense line for hundreds of years, we will be able to wait until the day when the Holy League collapses without a fight.

"But in the 'Battle of the Black Wind', a scoop of cold water with icy particles was poured into everyone's spine.

"The entire cantilever line of defense completely collapsed, several deep-space fleets were devastated, Black Wind and other five major war worlds fell into the hands of the Holy League, and the unstoppable soldiers of the Holy League reached the softest belly of the empire, the Holy League What the fleet is staring at is the fertile land that the empire has worked so hard to build for thousands of years!"

Li Yao said, "World at War?"

"That's right, according to the amount of resources and the level of development, the empire roughly divides the vast world within its borders into four levels: the world to be developed, the world of resources, the world of industry, and the world of war."

Li Linghai said, "World of War is the level with the highest comprehensive value and the deepest industrial foundation. It has a large-scale arsenal, a magic weapon refining assembly line, and even the Xinghai Shipyard. * A super heavy industrial world heavily guarded.

"The value of one war world is far more than ten worlds to be developed!

"Heifeng and other five major worlds are all important military towns that the empire has operated for hundreds of years. If they fall into the enemy's hands all of a sudden, they will lose many resources and leak many secrets. Therefore, they are the biggest threat to the empire for hundreds of years.

"After receiving the news of the fall of the five border war worlds, the princes of the imperial capital were naturally stunned, and immediately thundered and wanted to launch a counterattack.

"In addition to the elites of the four major elector families being continuously sent to the front line, it is natural to recruit troops of nobles and warlords to 'defend the empire'.

"At this time, the four major elector families have controlled the government for many years, and the consequences of the continuous fragmentation and gravel of the place have emerged.

"The small and medium-sized nobles and warlords in most places are perfunctory and timid, and agree that, anyway, with the elite of the four major elector families standing in front of them, they will not be able to go to the front as cannon fodder.

"The most despicable and shameless of them are the warlords who were originally entrenched in the Black Wind Realm.

"The responsibility for the collapse of the entire 'Black Wind Defense Line' would have fallen on the head of the Black Wind Fleet, and the fallen Black Wind Realm is their hometown. The Black Wind people should retake the lost land at all costs. Yes or no?

"However, Hei Yeming, who commanded the Black Wind Fleet at that time, was an old and cunning warlord leader, but he did not stop doing two things. He brazenly annexed the remaining fleets of the other four war worlds, and possessed enough capital to bargain with the imperial capital. Taking advantage of the situation on the front line In such chaos, they fled towards the sea of ​​stars in the name of helping the empire expand its borders!

"Hehe, although the journey to explore the borders of the Star Sea is long and dangerous, no matter how dangerous it is, it is impossible to deal with the army of the Holy Alliance that is close at hand. If you really want to 'expand the territory', just turn around and go back to your hometown. Why bother to look far away?"

Li Yao: "...Uh, the commander of the Black Wind Fleet is really despicable!"

But he smiled wryly in his heart. This is already the third version of the "Black Wind Fleet's Expedition to the Star Sea". There is no way to verify it.

Li Linghai was extremely disdainful of what the Black Wind Fleet did, and his voice became cold: "Since the 'bitter lord' who has fallen into the world, the people of Heifeng all look like they are running away, and the private soldiers of the major princes and warlords are even worse. It's impossible to help the entire empire "block the eye-catching" and shake the holy alliance army that has won consecutive battles and victories.

"The four major elector families don't want to waste their elites in vain, at least they don't want to rush up to fight with the Holy League members in the first wave, so they thought of General Lei Chenghu's fleet."

Li Yao let out an "ah" and said, "This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone and hurts both sides!"

"That's right, even the blind can see that the four major elector families are trying to kill people with swords. No matter whether they can repel the attack of the Holy League, at least they can greatly weaken the strength of General Lei Chenghu."

Li Linghai said, "If General Lei Chenghu is really what the people of the world thought at the time, he was a deeply ambitious and self-respecting warlord, then he can completely ignore the orders from the imperial capital, or be like other warlords. , Randomly send out some cannon fodder to make up for it and perfunctory.

"Anyway, with the strength of General Lei's indistinct integration of the outer world of the fourth quadrant at that time, as long as he can't shrink back, what can the four major elector families do to him?

"It's not necessarily a war on two fronts. You have to deal with the Holy League on the front line, and you have to fight against General Lei in the rear, right?"

Li Yao pondered for a moment, then widened his eyes and said, "But General Lei still obeyed the order of the Senate and brought his elite to the front line?"

"That's right, and General Lei has done a better job than you. Not only did he bring all his elite out, but he also tried his best to bring along the 'Fairway Guard' as much as possible, that is, dozens of worlds outside the fourth quadrant." Elites, form a mighty coalition army, and fight all the way to the 'Black Wind Front'!"

Li Linghai sighed, "At that time, General Lei's prestige in dozens of nearby worlds was unparalleled, and many fleets were controlled and dispatched by him. I believe that General Lei can bring them benefits, and even attack the privateer fleets in the other quadrants, and take back all the spoils to share, in other words, I want to make a fortune, but I don’t want General Lei to take them to die for nothing!"

Li Yao blinked his eyes for a long time, and said in disbelief: "That is to say... General Lei is not only going to be a fool himself, but he will also bring dozens of elites from the world to become the number one fool of the day! "

"Yes, the star sea is vast, and it is not difficult to block the news. When the nobles and warlords who ruled dozens of worlds finally realized, it was beyond their reach. All their elites disappeared into the depths of the star sea and could never return. coming."

Li Linghai smiled and said, "You should be able to imagine that General Lei's crazy move has completely offended all the nobles and warlords in the fourth quadrant, and completely cut off his own retreat. What is the package of the 'Fairway Guard'?" The agreement also collapsed in an instant.

"At present, General Lei only has a large-scale but no foundation, and all logistics supplies are in the hands of the Senate, that is, the joint fleet in the hands of the four major elector families.

"The Senate was not surprised, and deployed the joint fleet brought by General Lei to the most dangerous front line.

"In the face of the large-scale attack of the Holy League, General Lei did not complain or hesitate at all, but he turned the tide. After five years of bloody fighting, he almost wiped out all his descendants and elites, and forcibly blocked the Holy League. Allies stormy offensive.

"Although he failed to take back the Black Wind and other five worlds, he also re-established an impenetrable line of defense, completely dragging the members of the Holy League to death in front of him.

"For the next hundred years, General Lei's fleet has been stationed at the forefront, blocking the Holy League like an iron wall, and never let even a starship of the Holy League go beyond the thunder pool.

"It can be said that starting from the 'Battle of the Black Wind', General Lei has been responsible for all the dirtiest, tiring, and hard work of the empire on the battlefield in the past hundred years, so that the troops and resources in the rear can be accumulated, dispatched and dispatched in a leisurely manner. Operations, coupled with the fact that the spirit of the Holy League members have been exhausted by General Lei, the 'Empire Strikes Back' on such a large scale can go so smoothly."

Hearing this, Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "So, this General Lei Chenghu is really not an ambitious and conspirator, but a... er, an upright and selfless soldier?"

"Yes, the so-called warlords, the army and the territory are inseparable. Although General Lei has a large-scale combined fleet with amazing combat effectiveness, he has long since lost his own territory. Everything is controlled by the Senate."

Li Linghai said, "As he fought bloody battles regardless of life and death on the battlefield, everyone gradually saw General Lei's sincerity. Even the four major elector families respected General Lei's character, or in other words, killing General Lei If so, I don't know where to find such an honest, unambitious person who can fight.

"The Senate and the four major elector families desperately need General Lei Chenghu, a 'true soldier loyal to the empire', to fight against the Holy League on the front line. After a hundred years, he will completely let go of General Lei. It will be a supplement to his 'Thunder Fleet' and The logistics supply is also unimpeded all the way, and the reputation of all kinds of favors and costs is constantly falling on General Lei.

"The True Human Empire has been established for thousands of years. Seventeen of the highest-level medals of the Empire, the 'Special Black Star Medal', have been awarded, fifteen of which were awarded in the first five hundred years of expansion, and the next five hundred years. Only two were awarded in total, one was awarded to the commander of the four major elector families, and the other was awarded to General Lei Chenghu. His military exploits and prestige can be seen!"
