Chapter 398: Casting a Gap in the Middle
Tianwo Star fell into the hands of the Colonization Alliance, which made the warlords of the imperial capital very stunned, they never thought that the Colonization Alliance fleet would attack Tianwo Star first.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem that there is much loss, so many people don't mention the matter of recovering Tianwo Star. The ones who were really anxious were a few warlords whose nests were in Tianwoxing, but they didn't have much weight in their words among the many warlords, and although they scolded and said a few words, no one paid attention to them.
After the Colonization and Security Alliance fleet took Tianwo Star, they did not rush to continue the attack, but stopped at Tianwo Star and began to rectify and clean up the local area, taking over some important institutions and facilities.
This move made the warlords very uneasy, and it looked like the Colony and Allied Federation were planning to stay in Tianwo for a long time, so that the rhythm of the war had completely changed.
So the warlords hurriedly held a meeting to re-discuss future countermeasures, if the fleet of the Colonization and Security Federation was stationed in Tianwo for a long time, how should their combined fleet respond?
The warlords knew very well that the Combined Fleet was only a stopgap measure, and that it was only temporarily existing to defend against the attack of the Colonial Alliance. Once the war turns into a long-term and protracted confrontation, what should the Combined Fleet do, whether to continue to exist, or whether to go back to their respective homes and reconvene when needed.
It is not a trivial matter to feed such a huge fleet, in the past, the warlords swept the snow in front of their doors, and whether they could afford to raise the fleet was a matter of one person, but such a large combined fleet is obviously not something that can be supported by one person.
At the meeting, all kinds of opinions came out, and some people thought that the threat of the Union still existed, and it was natural to keep the combined fleet, otherwise what would they do to resist the fleet of the Union.
However, there are also people who are unwilling to do this, and if they want to feed such a large fleet, they will have to contribute money and efforts together, and there will inevitably be many embezzlements and embezzlements.
None of these warlords here want to be the main culprit, for fear that they will suffer a loss if they keep the combined fleet, so it is better for each to feed his own fleet.
The warlords at the meeting had their own agendas, and it was difficult to gain unanimous support for any kind of opinion, so in the end everyone had to adopt a wait-and-see attitude for the time being, and wait for the new movement of the Allied fleet.
However, the fleet of the Colonization and Security Federation seems to be really determined to be stationed for a long time, and there has been no movement for more than ten days after that, and the information sent from Tianwo Star also says that the Colonization and Security Federation is rectifying the local security, and it seems that it is indeed going to be stationed for a long time.
The attitude of the Colonization and Security Federation made the warlords very uncomfortable, and if it continued for a long time, the combined fleet would inevitably fall apart, but they did not have the courage to take the initiative to attack, so they could only watch the Colonization and Security Federation settle down in Tianwo Star like this.
However, the calm of the Union was only a superficial phenomenon, and in fact all kinds of war preparations did not stop for a moment, and many things were just unknown to outsiders.
Shortly after the Colonization Alliance fleet occupied Tianwo Star, Feng Kailong had a conversation with Liu Yi to discuss the next strategic concept.
Feng Kailong said to Liu Yi: "My lord, I have an idea, in order to be able to capture the imperial capital nine times out of ten, I hope to rebel against one person. ”
Liu Yi was interested when he heard this, and asked with a smile, "Who are you planning to rebel against?" ”
"Xu Kai." Feng Kailong replied seriously.
"Is it Xu Kai who is in charge of the defense system?" Liu Yi continued to ask.
Feng Kailong nodded and said, "That's right, it's this person!" ”
"Why do you have to rebel against him? Can you explain why? ”
"At present, the biggest obstacle to our capture of the imperial capital is actually the defense system, although the outer shipping route has been opened, but the defense system around the planets still exists, if we force the attack, I am afraid that the losses will be very large, and it is difficult to guarantee that we will be able to defeat the fleets of those warlords, so I hope to turn Xu Kaice around, so that we will no longer have to worry about the future."
After hearing this, Liu Yi nodded and said: "The commander-in-chief is right, if you can turn Xu Kaice around, it will indeed be of great benefit." It's just that I'm worried that if he refuses to take refuge, if the matter is revealed, we will fall into passivity. ”
"Your concerns are right, but I'd like to give it a try." Feng Kailong said very firmly.
"Could it be that you've already figured it out? Can you tell us about it? ”
"I don't have a specific way yet, but I've checked Xu Kai's experience, he is a calculating person, and he only thinks about himself in everything, I think as long as such a person has enough interests, he should be compliant." Feng Kailong said.
Liu Yi thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, I have a suggestion, it is not enough for such a person to give him benefits, but also to let him see the harm, only when he sees the benefits at the same time, can he make up his mind." ”
"Profit...... ...... harm" Feng Kailong read these two words thoughtfully.
After this conversation, the intelligence department became busy again and began to use various means and channels to find out Xu Kai's old background clearly.
I can't find it clearly, and everyone was shocked when I checked it. It turned out that Xu Kai was more refined than a monkey, although he controlled the defense system in the imperial capital, but privately he had a huge estate in the Colonization and Security Alliance, and the amount of money involved was very amazing.
After seeing these materials, the officials of the intelligence department couldn't help but be speechless, it turned out that this Xu Kai was a two-headed bet, he was in the imperial capital, but the money was hidden in the Colony and Anlian, which was really a typical example of the three holes of the cunning rabbit.
The information about Xu Kai was reported to Feng Kailong and Liu Yi, and after reading it, both of them smiled, and now Xu Kai couldn't escape the palm.
Xu Kai is an alternative among the warlords in the imperial capital, and others fight all day long in order to compete for power and profit, but he never participates.
Others fought for territory, but Xu Kai honestly guarded his fleet and the two space cities, and rarely even returned to the ground.
After a long time, Xu Kai's harmless image of humans and animals was established among the warlords, so no one regarded him as an opponent.
Just when the imperial capital was in chaos and fighting for control of the army, Li Xingqi, who was far away in the Seawolf Galaxy, began to rise.
Soon Li Xingqi's name spread throughout the empire, and there was a rumor that the emperor intended to invite Li Xingqi into the imperial capital to reorganize the chaos in the empire.
This kind of talk is getting more and more powerful, and it is even rumored that Li Xingqi is actually a distant relative of the royal family, after all, they are all surnamed Li, and it is not impossible to say that they are distant relatives.
At this time, the warlords who were fighting behind closed doors began to panic, in case this rumor was true, they really didn't have the confidence to deal with Li Xingqi.
So the warlords had to make a temporary truce and hold a meeting. At the meeting, the warlords unanimously decided not to fight for the defense system of the imperial capital, but to hand it over to an impartial person who would take full charge of it.
And those who have the authority of the defense system must remain absolutely neutral and never participate in the struggle for the imperial capital, otherwise the others will jointly destroy it.
Among the many warlords, Xu Kai was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, so the authority of the imperial capital's defense system was in his hands.
Afterwards, Xu Kai really kept his promise, never participating in the battle between the warlords, and only managed and maintained the defense system.
Compared with other warlords, Xu Kai is a person who has not done too many bad things, at most he likes to make money, and then go to other galaxies to secretly purchase various industries.
In fact, Xu Kai is not without ambition, compared with other warlords, his ambitions are greater and he thinks more long-term. The warlords fought back and forth for control of the imperial capital, but Xu Kai looked down on this kind of struggle.
Xu Kai believes in his heart that no matter how great and prominent the power is, there will always be a day when it is lost, which has long been common in the history of the empire.
In the history of the empire, it is not those high-ranking officials and ministers who have always stood tall, but those nobles and chaebols who seem to have long lost their power, these people are the ones who really hold power, but they are not visible.
There is no chance to be a nobleman Xu Kai, so his goal is to make himself and his family become chaebols who will never fall for generations.
The continuous chaos in the imperial capital just gave Xu Kai such an opportunity, on the one hand, he remained neutral and did not participate in any fighting; On the other hand, they are deliberately amassing wealth to pave the way for the future.
It can be said that Xu Kai has done very successfully, taking advantage of the war over the years, Xu Kai has purchased many industries and has vaguely become an invisible chaebol.
However, the Colonization and Security Federation suddenly launched an attack on the imperial capital, and they would not stop if they did not seize the imperial capital, which made Xu Kai, who had always been content with the status quo, also begin to waver.
Xu Kai was worried that these warlords were not the opponents of the Colonization and Security Alliance, and once the emperor was captured by the Colonial Alliance, he would completely lose his wealth and power.
What's more, if the Colonization and Anlian really mastered the imperial capital, Xu Kai was worried about whether he could save his life, after all, in the eyes of the Colonization and Anlian, he was no different from other warlords.
If you can't even save your life, what's the use of making so much money?
Therefore, Xu Kai also thought about whether he had the possibility of taking refuge in the Colony and Anlian, as long as the Colony and Anlian could accept him, not only could he save his life, but also the industries he placed in could be successfully saved.
However, Xu Kai didn't dare to make up his mind now, in case the Colonization and Allian League couldn't defeat the imperial capital, if he took refuge too early, he would also be killed by other warlords, so Xu Kai had been thinking hard for days about what to do to be in his best interest.
It's a pity that Xu Kai didn't know that his details had been clearly investigated by the intelligence department of the Colonization and Security Federation, and now he has become the prey of the Colonization and Security Federation.
On this day, Xu Kai, as usual, turned on his portable computer as soon as he woke up, and began to check all kinds of information on the Internet, especially those related to the Colonization and Anlian Alliance.
Suddenly, a piece of news pierced Xu Kai's eyes, and the headline of the news read, "Recently, the Colony and Security Federation have seized a number of illegal enterprises, and the identity of a large number of enterprise owners is unknown."
Xu Kai felt empty for some reason, hurriedly opened the news and read it carefully, and when he saw the list of seized companies, there were several companies that he had secretly acquired.
