Chapter 973: Key Questions
Chu Tianjiang knew that Ali also had such a question in his heart, but he didn't show it.
Letting Ali challenge Bea is not much different from sending him to his death. Of course, before he knew Beiya's true strength, Chu Tianjiang would definitely not let Ali take the risk.
Competing with the war strength of intelligent civilizations, there is also not much hope of victory.
Although it is already a very good achievement for human civilization to form 1,500 legions in such a short period of time, it is obviously not 1,500 legions that can be used in this war, and it is very good to be able to use 1,000 legions. That is, some legions must be left to guard the home of human civilization and protect the intelligent civilizations that have joined the Alliance.
Guarding almost 4,000 star systems with 500 legions is not enough at all.
According to Chu Tianjiang's understanding, Zhang Xiaogang would only send troops to guard the main star systems, that is, those in the node position, and then use a larger police force to control the other star systems. Even so, there is only one legion of troops allocated to each of the major star systems.
In fact, even if fifteen hundred legions were dispatched, they might not be able to defeat the Elamates.
It is important to know that the Elamates have 5,000 star systems and more than 50 trillion individuals. Even if there is only one warrior for every 100 million Elamates, it means that there are 50 million warriors, or 5,000 legions, which can be deployed in each star system on average. If the Elamates also adopt a defensive approach, leaving the legions in the main star system, the density of troops will be higher.
Obviously, even if human civilization can win this war, it will be a long time later.
This is bound to be a protracted war!
To Chu Tianjiang's great surprise, Zhang Xiaogang deliberately avoided possible troubles, but emphasized the significance of this war.
Of course, the value of capturing the Elam system is too great to be said.
In Zhang Xiaogang's view, if human civilization can win this war without suffering too much loss, it can achieve essential changes.
That is, the capture of 5,000 star systems means that human civilization can become a powerful and intelligent civilization in the true sense.
If it is possible to sweep away the weak intelligent civilizations in the surrounding area during the war, such as forcing those intelligent civilizations between human civilization and the Elam civilization to join the alliance, then by the end of the war, there will definitely be more than 15,000 star systems controlled by human civilization.
This amount, even in the central region of the Milky Way, is definitely not weak.
In Zhang Xiaogang's words, after winning this war, the status of human civilization will be guaranteed, and the pace of expansion can be slowed down.
To be more precise, human civilization needs to concentrate on digesting the fruits of victory after this.
Obviously, Zhang Xiaogang said this on purpose.
The reason is that Chu Tianjiang and Ali both hope to get a period of peace, and what he said is precisely to satisfy Chu Tianjiang and Ali's appetite.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhang Xiaogang does not know the importance of peace.
From the launch of the first expansion war to the present, human civilization has experienced four rounds and five large-scale wars, and the living space has expanded from the original five star systems to 4,000 star systems, an almost 800-fold expansion, and even more than a thousand times if you take resources as the standard. The problem is that the population size of human civilization has not expanded so much, and it has encountered many troubles such as resolving alliances. What's more, human civilization is expanding too fast. Although many problems have been solved through some ingenious methods, some fundamental problems have never been solved. For example, the speed of development of individual star systems is far from enough.
For human civilization, a period of peace is indeed needed.
With Zhang Xiaogang's mind, it is impossible for him not to be unaware of the importance of peaceful development.
Before that, Zhang Xiaogang did not raise this issue, mainly because he felt that human civilization was not strong enough, and if it stopped expanding, it would be destroyed. Only if it is strong enough and has enough ability to resist foreign invasion can human civilization be able to temporarily stop expanding.
Everyone understands this truth, and Chu Tianjiang is no exception.
It was precisely because of this that Chu Tianjiang could not directly oppose the war plan proposed by Zhang Xiaogang, that is, to concentrate all the strength of human civilization to defeat the Elamates.
If the outcome of the war depicted by Zhang Xiaogang becomes a reality, then in this region, human civilization is a giant, and even within a radius of 10,000 light years, there are intelligent civilizations that are more powerful than humans, and they can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
A distance of 10,000 light-years is enough to eliminate many threats.
Even if some powerful intelligent civilization has the direct support of its creator, as long as it is not sure that it will defeat human civilization, it will not rashly attack human civilization. You must know that any powerful intelligent civilization, as long as it is not immediately defeated, will launch a counterattack.
If we take into account the time, the issue is even clearer.
That is, human civilization needs to control enough star systems, and it will be scattered in many star systems, and fewer and fewer humans will remain in their second home. Even if it is attacked, even if the second home is destroyed, human civilization may not be completely destroyed, or even suffer heavy damage. Then, after reacting, human civilization will inevitably organize a powerful force to launch a counterattack against the invaders.
In fact, this is also the main reason why the stronger and safer the intelligent civilization.
A sufficiently powerful intelligent civilization will definitely enhance its survivability through dispersion, so as to cope with sudden strikes that may come at any time.
It's just that this also raises a new question.
That is, it is almost impossible to defeat the Elamaic civilization in one fell swoop.
You must know that there are more than a thousand native galaxies of the Elam civilization, and even if one legion is used to attack one, it will take more than a thousand legions. Sadly, the home galaxies of the Elam civilization are so large and evenly distributed that a legion may not be able to capture a single star system.
Of course, this is actually a minor issue.
The Elam civilization is a typical integrated wisdom civilization, and its parent body is hundreds of wisdom civilizations, and the advantages of these wisdom civilizations are concentrated, so the vitality of the Elam civilization is extremely strong. Even with the loss of a large number of native galaxies, the Elam civilization may not collapse.
If Bea is included, the problem is even more serious.
Bea is no longer dependent on the Elam civilization, so even if she defeats the Elam civilization, she will not be weakened, and there is no guarantee that Ali will defeat her. If Bea doesn't intend to admit defeat and decides to take revenge on Ali, she will definitely be able to make Ali disappear completely.
Without Ali, human civilization would not be able to move an inch.
Before Luo Jinyong mastered the science and technology of using the creator, human civilization still needed Ali, and Ali was the main force for human civilization to launch expansion wars.
These are problems, and they are all difficult problems to solve.
It's just that compared to the other question, it's nothing.
Without legions, more effort can be spent on transforming the warriors. If necessary, it can even focus resources to transform enough Convergence Core Warriors. Bea is powerful enough to keep Ali out of her, and can even keep Ali hidden and only participate in battles when necessary.
The problem is, there is one problem that cannot be solved.
This is the relationship between Bea and Becca.
Perhaps, Becca does not have too strong feelings for all the descendants of the descendants, but for him, there must be some descendants of great value.
You must know that Becca's status in the family is based on this kinship.
Without a large number of descendants, it would be impossible for Becca to become the patriarch, let alone rule the entire family.
If Bea is of great significance to Beka, then dealing with Bea, or even attacking the Elamite, could lead to annihilation.
In front of Becca, Ali and human civilization are nothing at all.
If Ali still has some chances to defeat Beya, such as weakening Bea through sneak attacks, then in front of Becca, she doesn't even have a chance to escape.
As long as she's in the family's territory, she'll be killed by Becca at any time.
As for human civilization, Becca doesn't even need to do it himself, as long as he releases a little bit of information that he doesn't have much to do with human civilization, those family council members will take immediate action, and even unite to carve up the already fat enough human civilization.
To put it bluntly, as long as it stands on the opposite side of Beka, it is impossible for human civilization to win this war.
Attacking the Elam civilization and attacking Bea has the potential to cause Ali and the human civilization to become Beka's enemies.
Zhang Xiaogang was full of words, and he couldn't convince Chu Tianjiang and Ali that starting this war would not anger Beka, nor would he be retaliated against by Beka.
It can be said that as long as this problem exists, Chu Tianjiang and Ali will not agree to the war plan formulated by Zhang Xiaogang.
At least Chu Tianjiang wouldn't agree.
In fact, Zhang Xiaogang himself was very hesitant.
With his mind, it is impossible not to know that human civilization can take the lead in launching a war of expansion, and win in several consecutive wars, the most important thing is Becca's acquiescence. Although Becca did not explicitly support human civilization, his acquiescence was a support.
Prior to this, the creators that Ali defeated had all taken into account the relationship between Ali and Becca without exception.
In fact, Beshidron surrendered to Ali because he was afraid of Beka, that is, he believed that Ali had a special relationship with Beka, and to be an enemy of Ali was to be an enemy of Beka. Otherwise, Beshidron would never have taken the initiative to surrender to Ali, who had no obvious advantage, when the battle was deadlocked.
Now, the question falls to Arley and human civilization.
