Chapter 2172: Desire is hard to fill, and it makes the mind dizzy (1/2)

Li Yao was deeply impressed by Li Linghai's remarks.

Even the frantic and ideal expression on Li Linghai's face had been seen on the faces of countless soldiers-Union soldiers.

In a country that has been fighting for years or is facing severe military pressure or war threats, the army, the military, is extremely easy to condense into a huge behemoth, an indestructible interest group.

At least in the Star Federation.

The federal military has great power, with its own mines, smelters, magic weapon refining plants, and various military-industrial complex enterprises. It even holds one-third of the seats in the federal parliament, and it can completely fight against the cultivators. .

One-third of the seats for the military, one-third for the cultivators, and one-third for ordinary people-this is the approximate power balance of the Federal Parliament.

Not to mention, the Xingyao Federation has a sturdy folk style, respect for military, and a high social status of soldiers. The tentacles of the ”Disabled Veterans Association” reach out to every corner of the civilian population, protecting the interests of the soldiers to the greatest extent, and of course it is also formed. A virtuous circle will encourage young people to actively sign up to join the army and defend the Federation and the civilization of cultivation.

At least, from the birth of Li Yao to the birth of the New Federation and defeating the Black Wind Fleet for more than a hundred years, the Federation military, a huge behemoth without friends, has indeed made great contributions to the stability and unity of the Federation and the happy life of the people. The tragic sacrifice has positive value.

However, once this behemoth is out of control, it may still cause unimaginable consequences. In the early days of the Star Federation, there were soldiers intervening in politics, subverting the government, forming a ”military government” and forcing all practitioners in the world to join the army. The painful lesson of ”Longjun”.

And just a hundred years ago, there was an incident in which the Federal Intelligence Director Lu Zui colluded with the important military figure ”Tie Shuai” Zhou Hengdao in an attempt to hijack the entire country.

There is an old saying, ”With a sharp weapon in your body, killing your heart suddenly”, the soldier holds a chain saw sword and a arrow-burst gun, wears a crystal armor, pedals a starship, and is surrounded by robes of fighting side by side and sharing life and death. Between breathing , It can converge into a torrent of steel that crisscross the star sea.

For the soldiers in this torrent of steel, they have ignited surging ambitions. They think that they have a great responsibility to the country, the nation and the entire civilization. They are extremely eager to save the country while establishing military honors and realizing their personal values— —This is a natural thing.

Therefore, the imperial soldiers are eager to end the current situation of being divided by nobles and clans, and to establish a unified, powerful and ”glorious” imperial army, it is no more normal!

Perhaps the high-level commanders of the Star Sea Fleets and Elite Crystal Armor Groups of the Imperial Army are all held by nobles and cliques in order to achieve a high degree of control over the army.

But those middle and low-level officers, especially the grass-roots officers who are going to charge on the front line, are not necessarily nobles and proletarians, right?

Li Linghai also said just now that those high-ranking immortal cultivators in the empire are living longer and longer.

If the noble commander of a fleet does not move his position for two hundred years, he seems to be able to live for another one or two hundred years, and Li Yao is a grassroots officer under his command who fought **** battles on the front line and died nine deaths. Then Li Yao will rebel!

”Now the people of insight inside the empire, whether they are the immortal cultivators at the bottom who can't see hope, the world owners and mine owners who are sucked blood and sheared by industrial and agricultural scissors in the outer resource world of the empire, are wandering among the stars and suffering. Businessmen looking for business opportunities but still unable to enter the noble monopoly industry, or as I just said, young officers in the Imperial Army who have ideals, aspirations, and eager to make contributions and save the country, all the nobles and the nobles headed by the four major electors’ families The celebrity, I hate it!”

Li Linghai carried his hands on his back, deep in the crystal clear eyes, shining rays of light penetrating the sea of ​​stars, and said lightly, ”From top to bottom, everyone can see the extremely sharp contradictions. Everyone is lurking and enduring, and everyone is eager. An earth-shaking, reborn revolution, completely smashed the old system that was golden and jade apart and defeated, and built a glorious and great new empire!

”You should know that the empire has launched a grand and devastating strategic counteroffensive against the Holy League in the past ten years-this is the largest offensive launched by the empire against the Holy League in the past five hundred years. It really exhausted the entire empire. Up.”

Li Yao nodded his head heavily.

It was this earth-shattering strategic counterattack that prevented the Empire from investigating the true situation of the Black Wind Fleet, and was unable to send a new expeditionary force to the Federation, which indirectly saved the Federation's life. How could Li Yao not know?

”In fact, at the beginning, the nobles and cliques headed by the four major electors did not agree with such a fierce strategic counter-offensive plan. They have been like this for the past five hundred years, and their strategic choices are more defensive and even shrinking. No way out, passively beaten.”

Li Linghai narrowed his eyes and said coldly, ”Many times, this is not a military issue, but a political issue. A military strategy that is too radical is very likely to lead to a loss of the game and seriously damage the interests of the nobility and power.

”But in the border areas, they can keep their territories and interests safe and secure.
