Chapter 2258: Attack it! (1/2)
There is a saying, ”God of War” Lei Chenghu is very correct.
After mankind mainly explored the three-dimensional universe in the form of ”star sea jumping”, and then conquered thousands of worlds and tens of thousands of resource planets, in any cosmic war, ”offensive” will always be a hundred times simpler than ”defense” .
Lei Chenghu is not an enemy from outside. He is a member of the Imperial Army. He is a battlefield veteran who has been in the Imperial Army for two hundred years. He is more likely to receive help from the mysterious forces from the Imperial Capital to navigate the various worlds of the Empire. , Force distribution and jump coordinates are all well known.
He can choose his attack target as he wants, and suddenly appear in any star field.
But the defender is destined to be unable to evenly disperse all its forces to every world and every planet. That way, it will only be destroyed by each individual and can only focus on it.
The offensive side has almost unlimited attack initiative, and it is resources that limit them.
Yes, in the first jump strike, the attacker can choose an unlimited target, but this choice and subsequent battles will also use up all their few fuel and ammunition.
If the first battle fails to achieve brilliant results and cannot be effectively supplemented, it is bound to be unable to launch a second jump and will be trapped alive on the burning battlefield.
Such offense and defense are somewhat like a duel between two gunmen armed with flintlocks.
The flintlock can only be fired once, and it is of course an advantage to fire first, but if it misses a hit, it will almost cut off all his hopes.
Anticipating the first attack target of the Thunder Fleet has become the top priority of the ”retro gunner”.
And when the words ”respect the emperor to rebel, and renovate the power of God” spread all over the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, including every pair of ears of the Senate, Lei Chenghu's goal was obvious.
That's right, for the aggrieved officers and soldiers on the front line, and for the remote and small- and medium-sized world interest groups that have suffered a lot of grievances, what place is more suitable than the imperial capital to make a fuss?
The ”rebels” gathered in the third theater of war simply could not conquer the imperial capital in theory.
But anything is possible in a war-didn't Wu Yingqi, the former border general of the Xinghai Republic, also used a similar ”beheading tactic” to attack the capital, control the parliament, slaughter the councillors, trigger a chain reaction, and usurp the entire country in one fell swoop?
The lessons learned from the ”founding emperor” are so clear that the Gongdang princes of the Senate were not afraid of repeating the same mistakes. Today's imperial Senate has become the republic's parliament a thousand years ago.
Ghostly rumors spread from the streets and even deep in the crevices of the ground.
Many people know that the banner of the rebels has been raised high across the Xinghai, about to sweep the imperial capital with a thunderous force, even if it cannot conquer the imperial capital, the heart of the sea of stars will be smashed into pieces.
The more secret information from various channels is categorically stated that the investigation into the ”Blood League Event” a while ago has aroused strong dissatisfaction in all quarters. Now all forces in the imperial capital, except for the four major electoral families, already have Many people secretly fell to the rebels, that is, the camp of the ”innovative”.
As soon as Lei Chenghu's fleet appears on the periphery of the extreme heavens, these forces will rise up, unite with the thundering fleet inside and outside, and take the imperial capital in one fell swoop!
The intelligence systems of the four major electors’ families were running crazily at ten times the speed, looking for the source of these rumors, they really caught a lot of sneaky guys, and even cracked several secret strongholds of the reformers.
The result of the severe torture of the reformists is a thunderbolt in the sky.
The reformist led by the imperial empress Li Linghai has been in the imperial capital for decades and has penetrated into every key node of the imperial capital. The seemingly airtight defense system has long been riddled with holes.
These shocking information, like that poisoned dagger, has been slammed into the throats of the elders.
The veterans have long been wary of Li Linghai’s ambitions, but no matter how vigilant they are, they only confine her within the scope of “court struggles”, but they never expected that she would use such crazy methods outside the imperial capital, the imperial’s From the periphery, a powerful rebel army was pulled up.
Based on the calculation of Empress Li Linghai's penetration of the imperial capital, coupled with the powerful combat power of the Thunder Fleet, if the reformers really make a desperate move and go straight to the imperial capital regardless of the consequences, they are at least 20 to 30% sure to capture part of the ground area of the Sky Star.
——If the two sides really fight on the ground of the imperial capital and split the heart of the empire into two halves, the thousand-year empire will be destroyed.
The elders from the four major electors’ families may not necessarily have much loyalty and love for the word “empire”, and even many ambitious guys have harried in their hearts more than once. If the empire really falls apart, they will control more than ten or twenty. A big world is self-contained, and it's not enough to be an emperor by himself?
However, these Nascent Souls and the elders of the transformation of the gods have extremely strong computing power and a high degree of rationality. They know that the five words ”real human empire” are the ”biggest conventions of various intertwined and complicated interest groups.” number”.
The empire may be terrible and annoying, but without an empire, hundreds of great worlds are bound to turn into a disc of sand again, entering a new and more cruel ”Star Sea and Warring States Era”.
