Chapter 2211: Gambling on national luck! (2/2)
”Of course, even if you choose this relatively conservative strategy and really retreat to the line of'Condor-Furukawa', the expeditionary force must not be abolished. At least the current scale must be maintained and the highest command authority must be further concentrated. Fighting strength, waiting for the opportunity to fight with the main force of the Holy League, strategic decisive battle!”
”It's even more impossible!”
Dongfang Bai blurted out, ”The enemy has already been defeated and fled, but our army has to retreat without fighting and voluntarily abandon more than twenty great worlds. This is simply--”
”Yes, it's really impossible. Those hungry dignitaries have already craned their necks to carve up so many delicious and plump trophies. Who is willing to vomit the fat that was sent to the throat for nothing?”
Lei Chenghu shook his head and sighed, ”Timidity is not the way to ruin, and greed is not the same, but it is both timid and greedy, or greedy when it should be timid, and timid when it should be greedy-then it is self-defeating!”
”This Hou's words are all here, so let's do it for yourself!”
Lei Chenghu slowly closed his eyes and fell into thought.
This was the first time he called himself ”Benhou”.
”Liao Haihou...”
Dongfang Bai was a little at a loss for a while, froze for a long time, and said, ”You are too alarmist.'Lure the enemy deep' is a tactic used by soldiers, but since ancient times, who can be crazy enough to pay dozens of worlds? The price is to'entice the enemy to go deeper'?
”This is dozens of habitable planets plus hundreds of resource planets, an immeasurable population, mineral veins and various resources!
”Such a huge resource will be digested and absorbed by the empire if there is a slight mistake. At that time, the Holy League will be overwhelmed and will be defeated!
”Even the most frenzied gambler can't adopt this desperate strategy. This is purely a gamble on national luck!
”More than ten years ago, when the empire launched a strategic counterattack, the Holy League clearly had the upper hand. Is there any reason to bet on the national fortune in such a frenzied manner?
”Therefore, the base camp and the Senate have not considered that the enemy is'inducing the enemy to deepen', but the possibility is very slim, and it doesn't exist at all!”
”Oh?”
Lei Chenghu opened his eyes again, bursting into the light of a mixture of wild beasts and gamblers, and said every word, ”Gambling on national luck? This word is used well!
”Indeed, if the Shengmeng is really as powerful as it seems on the surface, and has always maintained its advantage over the empire, there is no need to gamble on national luck.
”But what if the Saint League is not as powerful as it seems?
”If the enemy is strong from abroad, it has already emptied the family property in the Millennium War and has fallen to the brink of collapse?
”If the Saints don't engage in tricks of ‘inducing the enemy to go deeper’ and spend decades on the frontal battlefield with the empire, will they also be destined to collapse?
”In this case, is there any chance that an enemy will bet on everything and bet it all? Please tell me!”
Dongfang Bai was shocked and speechless.
”Compared with the imperial system, the biggest advantage of the Shengmeng system is the brainwashing implemented through the genetic stage, which restrains the free will of the people's desires to the greatest extent.”
Lei Chenghu said lightly, ”In this way, the power of all citizens is highly concentrated, and there is almost no internal friction. The internal friction coefficient of social operation is infinitely close to zero, instead of going to the empire, doing their own things and fighting each other.
”But such a deformed system also has inherent fatal flaws.
”Without free will, there is a lack of creativity and initiative; without emotions and desires, one would never think of pushing civilization forward. The whole world is lifeless, and everyone is in order, just a bunch of clockwork machines.
”The only factor that can promote the evolution of the Shengmeng is that they continue to unearth the Pangu relics and upgrade them through the technology and magic weapons given to them by the'God'.
”A thousand years ago, Shengmeng once caught the empire by surprise by relying on the two points of ‘advanced technology of Pangu ruins’ and ‘zero friction system with almost no internal friction’, and gained a strategic advantage over the empire.
”But war has always been the fastest way to communicate between civilizations. After the millennium war, the empire has also acquired a technical level close to the Holy League through various channels.
”And the Shengmeng society lacks creativity and initiative, and the fatal weakness of lifelessness is constantly exposed.
”Furthermore, for thousands of years, the empire has always firmly occupied the richest world in the center of Xinghai, and its overall national strength has surpassed the Holy League. Even if the frontline suffers several miserable defeats, it can continuously replenish its forces and resources, but the Holy League will never consume From.
”The war between the Holy League and the empire is typical of a small country conquering a big country. It can be maintained for a thousand years. It is already a miracle in a miracle. ?”
