Chapter 379: Strategic Priorities
Someone's casual words reminded Liu Yi that the answer to solving the problem is sometimes so simple, as long as the Colony and Security Federation shows strong enough military strength, even if other opponents have the support of banks and military enterprises, they dare not easily harass them.
It can be said that under the leadership of Li Xingqi, the Colonization and Security Federation have also fought a lot of battles in recent years, and at the peak of the Colonization and Security Federation, almost no one dared to provoke the Colonization and Security Federation.
However, after Li Xingqi's death, the situation changed, and many people seemed to think that Liu Yi was good at economic construction, but not good at military affairs, so he dared to harass and plunder the colonies of the Colonial Alliance in such a brazen manner.
Thinking about this, Liu Yi slowly had an idea, but he liked to say some things by others, rather than ordering everything himself, which would only make the people below develop a dependent thinking.
Liu Yi said: "Everyone is right, we really need to show the outside world our current strength, especially now that many people think that the Colonial Alliance is not as good as before, we should let these people know that the military strength of the Colonial Alliance is only higher than before." You may wish to consider it from this line of thought. ”
Inspired by Liu Yi, everyone used their brains and put forward many new ideas. Some people suggested that a military exercise could be held to show Yaqiu's new fleet to the outside world, while others thought that this would not be very effective, and now everyone is interested in actual results......
Of course, the most convincing way to do this is to find an opponent to fight.
However, fighting an ordinary opponent does not make people afraid of the Colonial Alliance, and if you fight a strong opponent, I am afraid that the war will last for a long time, which will defeat the wishes of the banks and the military industry.
After discussing for a long time, everyone's topic unconsciously returned to the old way, that is, to target the rebels and attack them again.
This is a very sensitive topic, and Li Xingqi's death has always been a wound that is difficult to heal for the Colonial and Allied Alliance, and many people have expressed their opposition, and they really don't want to turn their heads again with the rebels.
Liu Yi also did not approve of fighting the rebels, he was not afraid of capsizing like Li Xingqi, but doing so was too much like Li Xingqi, which was not a good thing for establishing his image and authority.
Everyone quarreled for a long time on the question of whether to fight the rebels, and finally Liu Yi said: "I don't think this is the best time to attack the rebels, in fact, there is a very suitable goal, but everyone has never thought of it." ”
"What is the goal?"
"Better than attacking the rebels? Where could this be? ”
Everyone was guessing Liu Yi's answer in their hearts, and their faces were full of suspicious expressions.
Liu Yi didn't plan to sell Guan Zi anymore, and directly announced his answer: "The target I'm talking about is the imperial capital." ”
"What? Attack the Imperial Capital? Everyone was taken aback and raised their voices of doubt.
Liu Yi nodded and said, "That's right, it's the imperial capital." Taking the imperial capital as the goal is the most suitable choice for the current situation, first of all, the degree of development of the imperial capital is needless to say, and it is second to none in the entire empire. Second, the political influence of the imperial capital is unmatched by other places, and if we take the imperial capital, I believe that no one will dare to doubt our strength. ”
When everyone heard this, their faces were still full of suspicion and worry, everyone knew how difficult the imperial capital's defense system was, since the imperial capital announced a complete blockade, no one dared to touch the imperial capital, but now Liu Yi was going to gnaw on this hard bone.
"My lord, I think we should reconsider, attacking the imperial capital is not a joke."
"That's right, the defense system of the imperial capital is not like other galaxies, I'm afraid the fleet won't be able to get close to Tianhan Star and it will be over!"
Everyone talked about the difficulty of attacking the imperial capital, but in fact, they didn't need to say that Liu Yi also knew that Liu Yi had participated in the design of the imperial capital's defense system back then.
Liu Yi made a silent gesture, and then said: "I know very well what everyone said, I have also participated in the design of the imperial capital's defense system before, and I naturally know how strong the imperial capital's defense is. However, I would say that even such a powerful defense system is not without its vulnerabilities. ”
"Do you know about the loopholes in the Imperial Capital's defense system?" Someone asked impatiently.
"I can't be regarded as knowing, but there is no watertight defense in the world, there will always be some weaknesses, as long as we grasp these weaknesses, we may not have a chance to take the imperial capital. In a word, if you want to take the imperial capital, you must rely on outwitting, and the reason why the rebels failed back then was entirely because they were too reckless. Liu Yi said.
Seeing that Liu Yi was so confident, everyone guessed in their hearts that Liu Yi probably really understood the weakness of the imperial capital's defense, otherwise he would not have such confidence.
"Since the adults think that the emperor can take it, then I will agree to this plan, but I think rigorous research is still needed, otherwise the risk of this plan is still too great." Someone said very sincerely.
"Yes, until I see the detailed feasibility plan, I can only wait and see for the time being."
Liu Yi saw that everyone was no longer so opposed, and of course he couldn't talk about much support, so he said: "It's normal for everyone to have concerns, I think it's okay to set up a strategic research group, with me as the leader, and strive to come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible, and everyone will discuss it in detail at that time." What do you think of this? ”
"That's a way to do it......"
"Well, we agree, as long as there is a feasible plan, we will support the adults."
Liu Yi nodded and said, "Very good, then from now on, the imperial capital will be the strategic focus of our next military operation!" ”
After the meeting, He Yan found Liu Yi alone and asked very seriously, "Are you really planning to attack the imperial capital?" ”
Liu Yi smiled: "What, do you think I'm joking?" ”
"I don't think it's realistic, where is the emperor? That's a place that no one has ever been able to take! Attacking the imperial capital is tantamount to hitting an egg on a stone! He Yan said.
"Naturally, the difficulty is not small, and it can even be said to be very risky." Liu Yi said: "But to end the current state of endless war, I'm afraid there is only one way." ”
"Is there no other way? Do you have to fight the imperial capital? He Yan asked rhetorically.
"There are naturally ways to keep the Colonial Security Federation, but to end the troubled times, the imperial capital must be taken, which cannot be bypassed no matter what." Liu Yi said with great certainty.
He Yan sighed and said: "You are the head of the Colonization and Security Federation, it is enough to only consider the Colonization and Security Federation, and ending the troubled times is not something that can be done by one person." ”
Liu Yi said: "If you only want to guard the Colony and Anlian, I'm afraid the road will become narrower and narrower in the future." Let's be honest, if you only think about it from the perspective of a military alliance, the Colonial Security Union has actually reached its peak. After that, either the realm will shrink and hold only one place, or, as before, go down the path of endless war until destruction. ”
"There is no other way but these two paths?" He Yan asked unconvinced.
"If the status quo is maintained, as you can see, there will definitely be more and more opponents who will find ways to encroach on the Colony Alliance, or the Colonization Alliance will continue to expand, and then there will be a civil war, just like the previous Sea Eagle Galaxy. Do you think there is anything else possible? ”
"I ...... I don't know. He Yan said a little deflated.
"I've thought about this for a long time, and I've considered all kinds of possibilities, only by taking the imperial capital and re-establishing a new order can we end this troubled world. Otherwise everything is still the same, constant wars, constant divisions...... You probably haven't seen the foreign colonies look like, and that's what happened to them. Liu Yi said with emotion.
He Yan was silent for a while, and finally said, "Okay, you can give it a try, if the plan is really feasible, I will support it." ”
A few days later, Liu Yi began to prepare for the establishment of a strategic research group to make preliminary preparations for the attack on the imperial capital.
After careful consideration, Liu Yi finally came up with a preliminary list of personnel, the first one was of course Feng Kailong, he was now the commander-in-chief of the Allied fleet, and at the same time, he had also served in the fleet of the imperial capital for many years, so he knew the situation very well.
In addition, Shangguanqi and Ke Rin also joined this research group, although the two of them are not experts in this area, but Liu Yi believes that in this war, mecha is likely to play an important role, so it is better to let them participate as soon as possible.
At the same time, Liu Yi also included Tang Jie in the list, the Imperial Capital will inevitably have many special requirements for weapons, Tang Jie is both an expert and an authentic Imperial Capital, so she is naturally indispensable.
In addition to these core teams of Liu Yi, Ye Na is also involved as the main person in charge of army logistics, and there are also Che Kuang. With the continuous rise of the willow wings, Che Kuang has also risen all the way, and now he is an upright fleet commander.
Eventually, Liu Yi came up with a list of a dozen people who would be involved in this important project under his leadership.
However, to formulate such an important plan, a large amount of intelligence is absolutely indispensable as a theoretical support, and whimsical behind closed doors will not have any practical significance.
For this reason, Liu Yi asked the intelligence department to do everything possible to collect the current information about the imperial capital, and if they could find someone who was familiar with the situation in the imperial capital, it would be better, and they could find a way to absorb it.
Under Liu Yi's arrangement, the intelligence department began to take active action, in order to make the work of the intelligence department more smooth, Liu Yi even gave them a lot of authority, the funds can be spent as they please, and whoever they want can be transferred at will, as long as the task is completed.
As the related work gradually unfolded, Liu Yi felt that he had the passion to fight for the goal again, and the whole person seemed to be a hundred times more energetic.
