"It is out of consideration of the overall situation of the empire that I cannot make such a statement."

Lei Chenghu said with no expression, "the so-called" blood League incident "is a ridiculous conspiracy. If it was not made by some people with ulterior motives in the Senate, it was made by our most dangerous enemy, the covenant alliance. I have no room for any agreement in this matter.

"The reason why we refuse to make such a public statement is that first, the incident of the blood alliance has not been investigated clearly, and we don't even know whether the blood alliance will do it or not. The blood alliance is just a small militant organization of young officers. Why can it plan such a precise and large-scale assassination, or even completely control an assault ship?

"Behind this incident, there must be a higher level of power to intervene. It's not just what you said. The recklessness of some front-line radical officers is so simple!

"Second, this investigation report of Guangtong accuses my officers of secretly joining the association of the blood League and linking up their comrades in various branches of the front line. It's totally wrong and full of loopholes!

"They are all excellent young people who are the pillars of the future of the Empire. At such a critical moment, I will never obscure my position, make any statements that will make people confused, and erode the future of them and the Empire.

"Thirdly, the most important point is that even though some of the officers and men are really dissatisfied with the reality of the miasma and form some small-scale discussion organizations, I personally think that they can fully understand it and support it from a personal point of view.

"Yes, they are all soldiers. They take obedience as their duty and should not get involved in dirty politics.

"But they are more immortal cultivators. The rise and fall of the world, the hegemony of the Empire, the future of human civilization... These are the natural responsibilities of immortal cultivators. They are duty bound to shoulder this responsibility!

So, even after the final investigation, it was true that the blood alliance planned and carried out the assassination against the emperor of the Orient, and I did not feel the need to expand the investigation and search. The guilt should be borne solely by the blood alliance. It had nothing to do with the organization of the young officers, such as Wan Ying Hui, the charge society and the black clothing society.

"On the contrary, I do not agree to extend the investigation and search to other young officers' organizations. I even think that these organizations should be allowed to come to the surface and give young officers and immortals an open channel for dialogue with the Senate.

"In the face of the current situation that the rear area is full of smoke and darkness, the front-line officers and men have resentments in their hearts. This is not something you can solve by eliminating one or two organizations like the blood alliance and the WANYING Association."

Dongfang Bai's eyes were bright. He seemed to be angry with Lei Chenghu's speech, and he was overjoyed because of the numerous "tricks" in his speech. He was ready to consolidate Lei Chenghu's rebellious remarks. He said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Liaohai Marquis should have such an attitude towards the front-line officers' radical organization. However, may I ask..." the rear is in miasma Under the leadership of the Senate and his majesty, is not the Empire now thriving, reaching its peak for thousands of years, and a bright future? "

"Even you, who are shameless and worthless, are scared to be weak when you see the holy alliance people, and only know how to make tricks, stir up trouble, intrigue and selfishness, can climb to the key position of the base camp of the expeditionary army by relying on your background, become a minor General of the Imperial Army, and even interfere in military and national affairs such as the reorganization of the expeditionary army. This is not a" miasma. ", Is it all dark? "

Lei Chenghu said coldly, "don't set me up. I know that there are countless people watching this absurd" review meeting "at the moment. I will be responsible for every word I say. Even if I am allowed to stand on the rostrum of the Senate, I still say that!"

"You --"

Dongfang Bai was gnashing his teeth, even his eyebrows were about to stand up, and his eyes turned quickly for a long time, but he forced out a fierce smile. "Marquis Liaohai, have you ever made it clear that the purpose of this review meeting is to try to clear the relationship between you and the blood League and various young officers' radical organizations? We are trying our best to defend you. We never believe that you are the leader of the blood alliance, and we don't believe that you will incite the rebellion of the front-line officers. However, your lines are full of sympathy for the blood alliance and the young radical officers, and even vaguely endorsing their actions. This is really... Very difficult for us! "

"You're right."

Lei Chenghu didn't even glance at the trap set by dongfangbai. Da Fangfang stepped on it and said frankly, "I don't agree with the assassination of Dongfang, the elder of the Empire, by the association of the blood League, and I don't want to see the Imperial Army's glorious victory ceremony turn into a chaotic and bloody killing ground. But I don't necessarily oppose the idea of many front-line young officers' organizations, including the association of the blood League.

"They fight in the front line and know the situation of the front line and the enemy best. The base camp and the Senate in the rear must listen to their voices carefully - if this had been done earlier, there would never have been a" blood League incident. "

Dongfang Bai suddenly got excited, left a cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "Marquis Liaohai, you said that you" may not totally oppose "the idea of the radical officers, can you explain it in detail? You know, one of the core ideas of the radical military officers' organizations, such as the blood League, is to resolutely oppose the reorganization and reorganization of the base camp of the expeditionary army. On the contrary, it is necessary to continue to increase troops to the front line, continuously transfer a lot of manpower and resources, and greatly enhance the independence of the expeditionary army!

"You just rejected the post of" joint commander in chief ", so... In fact, you also agree with the idea of" expansion of the expeditionary force "

"Yes."

Lei Chenghu said calmly, "the reason why I agreed to leave the thunder fleet and go back to the imperial capital with you this time is to clarify my most resolute position to the 500 senators in the Senate: the expeditionary army should never be reorganized or abolished. Instead, we should continue to expand the army and give our front-line officers greater autonomy, so that we can control the war situation more flexibly, Search for the main force of the Holy Alliance and fight a decisive battle!

"I didn't expect to be sent here by you on the way.

"However, there should be a lot of elders who are paying attention to this review meeting, so it's the same here."

The stillness of the air.

The three censors were stunned. They didn't expect that Lei Chenghu could say so easily and without any effort that the four emperors and Marquises of the general election were very upset.

The expeditionary army will never accept downsizing, but will continue to expand!

And to seek greater autonomy!

Lei Chenghu, who is praised as the "God of war" by countless front-line officers and soldiers, what do you want to do!

Dongfang Bai took out a delicate handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

It's quite frightening to catch a big shark.

"Why?"

At this moment, instead, he became cautious and asked carefully, "Marquis Liaohai, you should understand the delicate situation that the expeditionary army is facing now? We have won a crushing victory in the "imperial counterattack", and the support of the latter side for this war has reached its limit. It is time to recuperate and absorb the fruits of victory.

"War is logistics, and our logistics can no longer support the war in the next decade. It's time to take a break and conserve our energy.

"It's such a simple truth that young and radical officers who are in a daze may not understand, but I don't believe that you, an experienced veteran in the battlefield, will not understand it.

"So, what is the real intention of continuing to expand the expeditionary force? Please explain it to the Review Council and the Senate."

After watching Dongfang Bai for a long time, Lei Chenghu burst into laughter and tears came out: "who told you that we have won the" victory of destroying the withered and decaying "? Even the bloody soldiers in the front line dare not say that. You guys who only boast in the rear make up some self deceptive reports all day long. As time goes by, are you even cheated?

"I have fought with the saints all my life, and I know their style and means very well. In the past ten years' Empire counterattack, except for a few battles aimed at consuming our army's living strength, in most battles, the saints' will to fight is much weaker than in the past, and the phenomenon of collapse is everywhere. There is no crazy believer's disregard for life and death The momentum of fighting to the end.

"It's not reasonable to say that the morale of the saints will drop to this level in just a few years. It's more like retaining strength.

"Up to now, we seem to have recovered dozens of great worlds and hundreds of resource planets, but a large part of them were abandoned by the other party. Before giving up, we destroyed all the infrastructure on the planet and took away a lot of resources, making these planets unable to continuously export troops and productivity to the Empire in three to five years or even ten years.

"Wasting a large amount of Imperial forces, food and various resources only increased the strategic depth to a certain extent, but in today's" star sea jump "as the main mode of military deployment, the so-called" strategic depth "is of little significance.

"Therefore, there is no" victory "at all. At this moment, the empire is just like a python that has just swallowed an elephant, but it is being coveted by a new enemy. It is in the most dangerous situation.

"Therefore, at all costs, we should continue to invest resources in the front line and expand the expeditionary forces. Only when we find out the main force of the Holy Alliance and completely defeat it, and eliminate the main mobile forces of the enemy, can we digest the fruits of victory with ease."

"The Empire has done whatever it takes!"

Dongfang Bai gritted his teeth and said: "in order to support this super war sweeping across dozens of worlds, the farmland and mines in the rear do not know how many people died and how many riots they triggered!"

"War is about killing people. Since all wars are for this reason, it's more determined than whose will to fight. If 50 billion people need to be killed to win, it's 50 billion. If 100 billion people need to be filled in, it's 100 billion! Only in this way can the rest of us survive and build a new empire! "

Lei Chenghu said coldly, "if there's a riot, it's hard to suppress. Those shrimps and crabs who stay in the rear can't even suppress the riots of several primitive people or practitioners, can't they?"
