"My lord, this is the latest battle report for today, and we have two more colonies under attack......"

Early in the morning, Liu Yi had just slept for less than three hours when he was woken up by his secretary. To say that Liu Yi himself is also to blame, it is he who told the secretary that once he has the latest battle report, he must wake himself up immediately, no matter the time of day.

Liu Yi stretched his waist and sat up, yawning hard, looking like a young man who was addicted to games and stayed up late to play, without the slightest majesty on weekdays.

Fortunately, the secretary was already used to seeing him like this, and asked with a smile: "My lord, don't sleep for a while, it's still early anyway." ”

"No need...... Now that you're up, you don't have to sleep any more......" Liu Yi got dressed and said while playing in the bathroom: "You read the battle report to me." ”

"Yes."

Liu Yi took advantage of the washing time to ask the secretary to read the latest battle report, and after listening to it, Liu Yi looked at the mirror and was stunned for a while.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, are you alright?" Seeing that Liu Yi was motionless, the secretary had no choice but to ask out loud.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Liu Yi replied, "You ask someone to bring me a cup of coffee." ”

"Okay." After speaking, the secretary left Liu Yi's office.

Liu Yi returned to his desk, opened the battle report and read it again, only feeling overwhelmed. Since a few months ago, all kinds of military alliances, large and small, have begun to invade the colonies of the Union, and it is obvious that they have treated the Union as a huge cake, intending to use the method of ants gnawing on elephants to continuously encroach on the Union.

Everyone knows that the Colonization and Security Federation is now a behemoth, but no matter how many troops the Union has, it cannot be strictly defended in every colony, and a trade-off defense is the inevitable result.

As a result, many forces focused on this, constantly harassing and plundering the weakly defended colonies, leaving the Colonial Alliance fleet tired and fighting all day long.

The most irritating thing is that these armies that constantly infest the Colony and the Alliance, once the fleet of the Colony and the Union arrive, all adopt the same strategy, that is, they will run away and never engage in a frontal battle, which is really more annoying than flies.

In the end, the universe is still too big, no matter how fast the fleet runs, at such a large scale as the universe, it is always impossible to rush to the place of the accident in the first place.

At this time, the secretary brought coffee, gently placed it on the Liu Yi table, and then said, "My lord, the coffee is here, do you need anything?" ”

"No need." Liu Yi waved his hand.

"My lord, today's schedule is like this......" The secretary began to report the day's schedule to Liu Yi according to his daily habits.

Liu Yi suddenly interrupted: "Cancel the morning arrangement for the time being, and inform the heads of important departments that I will hold an impromptu meeting to discuss how to deal with the current problem of continuous war." ”

"Ahh This is too sudden, isn't it? The secretary said in surprise.

Liu Yi didn't seem to hear the secretary's exclamation, he was still working on his work, the secretary didn't dare to say anything else, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll notify you immediately." ”

"The purpose of today's meeting is to discuss this." Liu Yi sent the latest battle report to everyone in the meeting.

The people who attended the meeting were the heads of various important departments, that is, the core decision-making level of the entire Colonial Security Federation, and each of them was a high-ranking figure.

After reading the battle report, everyone showed a sad look on their faces, this problem has been bothering the Colony and Anlians for a while, but they have never been able to find an effective way, after all, when the enemy will attack, this is no one can control.

Liu Yi saw that everyone didn't speak, so he said: "I know everyone thinks this matter is difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, we have to come up with a way, we can't just sit here and wait for others to eat me up little by little, right?" ”

After listening to Liu Yi's words, Ye Na said: "I think the most effective way is to strengthen the construction of defense facilities, although the process will take a long time, but in this way can the fundamental problem be solved." ”

As soon as Ye Na finished speaking, Tang Lun, who was in charge of the economic department, spoke, "It's useless, I don't know when the defense facilities will be completed one by one." The real problem is not military power, but economics! ”

Some people didn't quite understand Tang Lun's words, and asked one after another, "Lord Tang Lun, how do you say this?" Can you elaborate on that? ”

Tang Lun turned his head to look at Liu Yi first, and saw that Liu Yi nodded, and then answered everyone's questions: "Now that there are so many people attacking the colonies under the Colonial and Anlian, it is obvious that someone is secretly pushing it, if there is no such force, there will never be so many enemies suddenly appeared." ”

"Who is that force you are talking about?"

Tang Lun replied, "Do you still need to ask?" Of course, those banks and the military-industrial complex! ”

"Really? Could it be these people? Someone asked incredulously.

Tang Lun said with a smile: "What's impossible about this, only by fighting all the time, these people can make a lot of money, if they don't fight, how can there be such a big sales of weapons, if they don't buy weapons, who will borrow so much money from the bank?" These truths are clear when you think about them, so I don't need to elaborate on them. ”

After Tang Lun finished speaking, he looked at everyone proudly, as if he was the only one present who understood this.

At this time, I don't know who said: "I see, isn't Lord Tang Lun's family also producing weapons?" I guess I didn't make any less money. ”

As soon as Tang Lun heard this, his face turned green with anger, and he stretched his neck everywhere to find out who said this, he hated others the most for pulling this matter out, but some people just wanted to embarrass him.

Liu Yi saw Tang Lun's angry look, worried that he would really quarrel with others, so he said: "Lord Tang Lun is right, this matter is actually obvious, without the support of banks and military enterprises, it is impossible for these military alliances to frequently harass the Colonial Security Alliance. ”

Everyone saw that Liu Yi supported Tang Lun's opinion, so it was not easy to expose Tang Lun's shortcomings again, and the matter was revealed.

Liu Yi continued: "I know that the current situation is very passive, and the purpose of the banks and military enterprises is very clear, that is, they want us to start a large-scale war again. If we follow the path they have drawn, we will be back on the path of war to survive, so I hope that you will not just look at the present, but think about how we can solve these problems once and for all. ”

"Once and for all?" He Yan said: "If you want to say a solution once and for all, I am afraid that these problems can only be eliminated when the empire is reunited." ”

"Reunification, it's so hard, I honestly don't see any possibilities right now." Feng Kailong's words were quite frustrated.

The others also nodded, the current Xinghan Empire was completely divided, and even an organization like the Colonization and Anlian could not conquer all competitors.

There are so many colonies in the empire, even if the war is very smooth, it will take hundreds of years to fight them all one by one.

"It's really difficult, it's very good to be able to keep these colonies, and it's impossible to defeat all the colonies." Many people support this view.

"As long as this situation of division does not end, it will be impossible for the war to stop, and there will be no way to talk about a solution once and for all." Someone said.

At this time, Tang Lun spoke again: "I don't think you have reached the root, to solve the current passive situation, we can only start from the economy, as long as there is no support from banks and military industry, those so-called enemies will not have the ability to attack us." ”

Liu Yi saw that Tang Lun's point of view was rather unique, and asked very curiously, "Lord Tang Lun, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Tang Lun smiled bitterly: "I just found this problem, but there is no solution for the time being, it is not easy to deal with banks, their institutions are all over the world, from some points of view, it is even bigger than the empire, we alone can't deal with it." ”

Liu Yi agreed with Tang Lun's opinion, nodded and said: "It makes sense, at present, we really can't work against banks and other enterprises, that will only make the situation more passive." ”

None of them seem to be able to find any solution to the current predicament, and it is now the banks and the military-industrial complex that are behind the war, and these companies are difficult to deal with, or at all impossible to deal with.

Liu Yi somewhat understood Li Xingqi's helplessness at the beginning, if he hadn't faced an unsolvable problem, I'm afraid Li Xingqi would not have signed that extremely unfair agreement.

"Sure enough, it is by no means easy to get rid of the control of banks and military enterprises...... Liu Yi said secretly in his heart.

At this time, He Yan said: "Actually, things may not be like this, some places are not controlled by these banks, and others dare not attack." ”

"What kind of place is Lord He talking about?"

He Yan replied, "Do you still need to ask?" Have you forgotten the Imperial Capital and the rebels' Liberty Alliance? ”

Speaking of the rebels' Freedom Collar Alliance, most of the people's faces became a little ugly, because it was there that Li Xingqi capsized.

"Could it be that Lord He means to attack the rebels again?"

He Yan shook her head and said, "I didn't mean that, I just want to remind everyone that you might as well think about why these two places will not be attacked by others, and you don't have to look at the faces of banks and military enterprises." ”

At this time, everyone's conversation box was suddenly opened, and someone said: "Whoever dares to provoke these two places, isn't it looking for death if he goes?" ”

"That's right, there are too many people capsizing in these two places, and no one else has the guts."

"In the final analysis, it's all about bullying good and fearing evil, as long as the strength is strong enough, I don't think anyone dares to provoke!"

Liu Yi listened to everyone's discussion calmly, but his heart seemed to have set off a stormy wave, and He Yan's words seemed to suddenly open a door, allowing Liu Yi, who was in the fog, to see a new exit.
