After a few hours of calm thinking, Han Tuhu's expression was very different from just now, giving Li Yao the feeling that he was trying to suppress a certain part of his brain, forcing himself to become a machine with precise calculations and no emotional fluctuations.

"I'm sorry, Major Lee."

Han Tuhu pinched the field military cap in his hand, and his thumb kept rubbing the Red Star Medal on the military cap, which had been polished by him to shine, "I was too emotional just now, and I lost the calmness that a federal army commander should have, and the senseless impulse and anger will only make my own judgment wrong and plunge the troops into the abyss of no return, I need to apologize for my loss of control." ”

Li Yao didn't know whether Han Tuhu's change was good or bad.

Han Tuhu looked at the medal in his palm in a daze, the shining red five stars on the medal turned into two small sparks in his deep eyes, he was stunned for a long time, and hesitated: "Actually, everything Major Li said, many of our brothers have thought about it on Youfu Island, after all, ......"

The tail like a meteor hammer crossed his shoulders and reached his head, like a thick arm, knocking on his ugly head, "How can you not have the slightest doubt when you see yourself becoming this appearance of no human and no ghost?" ”

"At first, we thought it was just some kind of conspiracy by the enemy, the effect of a completely new virus."

"However, it wasn't just us who mutated, and soon, we came into contact with the Blood Lion Brigade, Suo Chaolong and other silver-blooded demon clans who were also imprisoned together."

"While we are becoming more and more like the demon race, Suo Chaolong is becoming more and more like the human race, if you pull me and Suo Chaolong together in front of the cultivators who don't know each other now, who can say that I am a human and he is a demon?"

"What's going on with all this? Whether it is me or Suo Chaolong, I am afraid that I will ask myself countless times every night, this feeling is like 10,000 ants burrowing into my brain. Every second is gnawing hard! ”

"I wanted to find out the answer, but I was afraid of the real answer, so I could only deceive myself into coming up with all kinds of impossible reasons, and my relationship with Suo Chaolong was like water and fire. It's not so much that I hate him for being a demon clan officer, but rather that I'm jealous of him, jealous of his current appearance, and jealous of him, an evil demon clan, how can he have a human face! ”

"I think. He's the same, right? I can read the look in his eyes when he looks at me, the look he looks at me! ”

The expression on Han Tuhu's face could not be described with pen and ink: "Do you know, Major Li, although you saved us, you also gave us a big problem. ”

"Originally, neither I nor Suo Chaolong thought that we would really be able to escape from that dark and terrifying island, we just wanted to do it before that desperate answer completely surfaced and made us all go crazy. Die a happy and vigorous death, as a glorious Federation Army, or as a pure silver-blooded demon clan, and die on the battlefield! ”

"However, you appeared, really rescued us, and put the answer that we have been unwilling to face clearly!"

Li Yao listened quietly.

He had a feeling that Han Tuhu didn't need to respond, just like a heavy machine gun. Release all the dark emotions that have been accumulated in the depths of your heart for half a year.

Sure enough, after saying all this, Han Tuhu stared at the ceiling blankly for a long time and breathed a sigh of relief. became the same as the two of them a second ago: "Major Li, if you want to cease fire or even join forces with the Blood Demon Realm, technically speaking, you have to solve several key problems. ”

Li Yao was stunned: "Colonel Han, are you willing to put aside your prejudices and join forces with the demon clan?" ”

"I don't want to."

Han Tuhu seems to be crawling out of the swamp that has been stuck for half a year. A shrewd and somewhat ruthless Federation officer was waking up, and he shook his head and said, "Even if everything you say is true, what if the human race and the demon race really come from the same origin?" ”

"40,000 years is enough time for the original race to evolve into two different branches, not to mention, even within the same race, there may be irreconcilable contradictions."

"Race has never been the only cause of war, or even the most important reason."

"Take the biggest threat we face, the True Human Empire, isn't that also a human country, the same culture as us? But they will not be relentless in destroying us. ”

"So, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't change my hatred for the demon clan, and I think it's very difficult for the entire Federation Army to change this hatred in just a few years."

"It's just—"

Han Tuhu's eyes became sharper and sharper, as if there was a scalpel, tearing the haze that had been shrouded in the periphery of his brain to shreds, "I am a soldier, and my duty is to protect my family and country, defend the Star Federation, and protect all the citizens of the Star Federation. ”

"I will do whatever it takes to do my job."

"If destroying the Blood Demon Realm can achieve this goal, I will exhaust my life to achieve this goal, killing every demon clan, no matter what their ancestors are."

"However, if only by joining forces with the demon clan can I save the Federation, I will not hesitate to make the right choice, even if this choice will be despised by countless people, spurned by countless people, and even despised and hated by myself, I will do it without hesitation."

"So, please tell me first, what is the war capability of the Flying Star Realm?"

"You said they once attacked a planet called 'Spider's Nest Star', that is, they have a certain starship strike ability? If we have the great assistance of the Flying Star Realm, can we attack from both sides and quickly conquer the Blood Demon Realm within one to two years? ”

"Trust me."

Han Tuhu added, "This question is a question that any general or politician of the Star Glory Federation will ask. ”

Li Yao pondered deeply for a long time: "According to my observations, it is difficult. ”

"The situation in the Flying Star Realm is completely different from that in the Tianyuan Realm, the human race there is basically in the state of 'starship civilization', the so-called army exists in the form of 'armor division', and there is no large-scale, unified command of the regular army, and the 'Spider Nest Star' they want to deal with is just a rabble composed of a group of star thieves."

"It is precisely because there is no regular army that they have to use the dangerous weapon of 'Taixu Soldiers'."

"What's more, the Flying Star Realm has just experienced a years-long war, and the losses are very heavy, and it is still recovering."

"It's one thing to ask the Flying Star Realm to send a fleet to help the Heavenly Yuan Realm's fellow clans defend their homeland."

"However, it is another matter for them to send hundreds or thousands of starships across thousands of mountains and rivers to attack a demon world with a treacherous environment."

"After all, the Blood Demon Realm is not a small resource planet like the Spider Nest Star, and it is not a rabble like the Star Thieves entrenched here, but a well-functioning, efficient, and powerful government with a regular army!"

"A powerful Star Sea Fleet can indeed suppress a planet, but 'suppression' and 'conquest' are two completely different things, and Colonel Han must know this truth better than me."

"What's more, the ultra-long-distance starry sky jumping technology is not yet mature, and every starship jumping from the Flying Star Realm consumes a lot of resources."

"To jump the huge fleet of the Flying Star Realm to the Tian Yuan Realm, at least within a few years, the cost is extremely high, even if the Flying Star Man breaks his belt, he may not be able to do it."

"On the other hand, under the brainwashing of the 'Four Pillars System', the demon clan of the Blood Demon Realm believes in the existence of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, believes in the theory of 'destruction, rebirth, and immortality', and has an extremely strong will to resist and combat effectiveness, and if it is a local battle, it will have more advantages."

"Even if the huge fleet of the Flying Star Realm really jumped into the synchronous orbit of the Blood Demon Star, and even blew the surface of the Blood Demon Star into a scorched earth, what would it be?"

"Don't forget, the environment of the Blood Demon Star is already extremely harsh, and the demon clan here has long been accustomed to poor mountains and bad waters, when the time comes, they will have a big deal to hide under the ground and the bottom of the sea, and carry out guerrilla warfare, they can firmly nail the armies of the Tianyuan Realm and the Flying Star Realm to the Blood Demon Star, consume a lot of resources in vain, and sacrifice a large number of soldiers and cultivators."

"Whether it's crystal armor, spar battleships, or cultivators in a high-intensity combat state, they are simply gold-devouring behemoths, and the resources consumed every day are astronomical!"

"And these resources, these soldiers and cultivators, are all indispensable for us when fighting against the True Human Empire!"

"I think the Federation Army must have drawn up a relevant all-out attack plan, and calculated how many resources and human lives would be required to completely conquer the Blood Demon Realm, right?"

Han Tuhu smiled bitterly: "The General Staff of the Federation Army has indeed drawn up many war plans for an all-out attack on the Blood Demon Realm, even according to the most optimistic estimates, after continuing the local defense for five to ten years, the Tian Yuan Realm will squeeze out all the resources of the local area, and a total of fifty all-crystal armor battle groups can be formed, and then with these fifty war groups as the main force, they will be transferred to a strategic offensive and attack the Blood Demon Realm, which can destroy the main force of the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance of the Blood Demon Realm within five years, and completely conquer the Blood Demon Realm within the next twenty years!" ”

"At that time, the estimate given by the General Staff for a total loss of troops in twenty years was ......"

"130 million Federation Army!"

"It's equivalent to smashing the entire Federation Army into it for twenty years, and changing the blood!"

"According to the optimistic estimate of the General Staff, this all-out war will set back the national economy of the Star Federation by fifty years, and it is expected that in the eighteenth year of the late war, the gross national product will fall to the lowest value, only 65% of the current value, and wait until we completely occupy the Blood Demon Realm, this continuous downward curve, after hovering at the bottom for ten years, will slowly rise, and it is expected that after fifty years, we will be able to make positive gains from this war."

"That's why I wanted to see if I could drastically reduce this time with the help of a fleet of powerful allies."

Li Yao said: "At least it is impossible to shorten it to the extent that one year to conquer the Blood Demon Realm, two years to exterminate all rebels and guerrillas, and three years to collect a large amount of resources from the Blood Demon Realm to make up for the war losses."
