Chapter 1880: Subvert the empire! (1/2)
Although Di Feiwen said so sincerely, Li Yao didn't plan to agree immediately, but shook his head slightly: ”I'm afraid you have misunderstood. I am neither the'overlord of the Star Beach', for the'overlord','Three Realms Supreme 'Ah, the'King of the Black Wind', such messy titles, and the management of a huge fleet or country, have no interest at all.”
”Very understanding.”
Di Feiwen nodded and said, ”The so-called power and status are often just shortcuts to the ultimate power. If a strong man himself has unmatched power, he does not need to be bound by power, status, and reputation. Yourself.
”In the center of the Xinghai Sea, there are many powerful people like President Li who like to be unrestrained and absolutely free, focusing on impacting the higher realm of human evolution, and exploring places where no one has set foot before. They naturally have nothing to do with the mundane affairs of the world. Interested.
”However, the Black Wind Fleet has its own complete operating system. I myself can barely serve the fleet for decades. I don’t need you to manage it personally. I only need to rely on your strength and prestige to regroup and inspire people. Morale is nothing more; it's as if your wife is not a managerial cultivator, but she can still become the Speaker of the Star Federation with an undisputed posture.”
”Speaking of this—”
Li Yao said coldly, ”I am proud of my status as a citizen of the Federation of Stars and I will never give up this status. Whether the Federation recognizes dual citizenship is still a question, and I will not easily agree with me as the King of Black Wind '.”
”Why disagree?”
Di Feiwen asked, ”Now the Federation is also eager to peacefully resolve the complex and infinite problems left by the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet. It also wants to obtain our huge fleet and more information and information about the real human empire, and even hope to pass The Black Wind Fleet has a certain level of direct contact with the real human empire-as long as you agree to become our new leader, all this will be possible.
”I know that the Star Federation has its own insurmountable principles, but this small request that we made does not violate any of your laws and even moral standards, right? No one will be harmed in this transaction, on the contrary. It can save the lives of thousands of innocent people, so why not the Federal Assembly?”
”You are clever-toothed, and I started to understand why you obviously have little combat effectiveness, but you can still become the number two figure in the black wind fleet, which is weak and smoky.”
Li Yao remained unmoved, ”It's a pity that you didn't surrender to me sincerely. You just want to use my reputation and prestige to seek personal gain for yourself, maintain a certain degree of independence, and even become a member of the Federation. It's nothing more than a malignant tumor.”
”Of course.”
Di Feiwen said calmly, ”President Li, please stand on our side and think about it. Although our Black Wind fleet suffered a fiasco, at least one third of the fleet is still unscathed and still has the strength to fight. , And the arrogance from the super hegemony in the center of Xinghai is even more unlikely to be extinguished in an instant. In this case, is it possible to ask us to surrender unconditionally?
”Whether the Star Federation or the true human empire, the'Dark Forest' theory has been quite popular for some time. Although this theory may not be a universal truth, some of its details are quite worthy of reference, for example.' Suspicion chain' this statement.
”The current Star Federation and the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet are not caught in a chain of suspicion? Even if the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet want to surrender, they will worry about what fate they will face after surrender and whether they will suffer inhumanity. Will this torture affect the families and descendants of those immigrant ships? Will they mine forever on the barren planet at the edge of the Xinghai Sea, turning into a pile of dead bones in the depths of the mine, and never have the chance to return to Xinghai? The hometown of the central government, let their battle flag flutter in the wind again.
”Similarly, even if I didn't put forward any conditions today and surrendered obediently and unconditionally, wouldn't the federal side doubt us?
”No, you are also worried about whether these unruly immortal cultivators have anything to do, will they rebel again, you will rack your brains to be vigilant, guard against and weaken us, and the two sides will accelerate friction in mutual mistrust and fall into viciousness. Circulation, and finally'fake it into reality', making the rebellion really happen again.
”For me, surrender is not a problem. The problem is the relationship and trust between the two parties after the surrender. You will be the new generation of'King of the Black Wind'. It is the best I think can break the chain of suspicion between each other. Method.”
”You don't have to worry about that.”
Li Yao categorically said, ”Federation is what counts. We can even merge with the blood demon world that has had blood feuds for hundreds of years. Now the blood demon world is an important part of the Xingyao Federation. Many monster races have become federal members and various key parts. The leader of —— you must know that when the hatred between the two sides was the deepest, the blood demon world almost broke through the federal capital!
”The one-third of the Black Wind Fleet under your command has not even stepped into the territory of the Federation. Everyone can't talk about blood and blood. What are you worried about?”
”No, that's different.”
