Military Headquarters, Command Room.

Vega sat on the throne, quietly listening to the new information brought by the adjutant.

"Report to Your Highness, everything is as you expected. ”

The adjutant took the battle report and said very happily: "According to the latest information we have obtained, the internal turmoil of the empire has begun to appear, and waves of rebel armies have risen in various parts of the country to resist the rule of the three powers. ”

"We've got a copy of the Empire's top-secret intelligence. ”

The adjutant continued, somewhat excitedly, "They have canceled the spring campaign against the North and instead focused on suppressing the rebellion at home. ”

"Hmph, it's all the Empire's own fault. ”

Schadenfreude flashed in Vega's eyes: "Man, you will not repent until the last moment." The three powers thought that they could subdue everything with the force in their hands, but unfortunately they underestimated the power of the civilians too much, and the embankment of thousands of miles has always collapsed in the anthill. ”

Vega scoffed at the decision of the Three Powers.

The reason is very simple, it is better to be blocked than to be sparse.

If he were the ruler of the empire, he would never have used force to take control of the situation, but would have given up his dignity and sincerely apologized in front of his subjects throughout the country, trying to calm the anger of the common people. If it doesn't work to this point, then take the blame and resign and give up the position of the three powers, so that the common people will have nothing to say, right?

Vega believed that civilians were like cattle and sheep in captivity, and that they were very easily deceived.

At the same time as you resign, you only need to cultivate a puppet to sit in that position, so that you can calm the anger of your subjects and control the situation in the country, without affecting your own position and interests in any way.

Civilians will also think they have won.

Wait for the heat to pass.

Let this puppet do a series of things that infringe on the fundamental interests of civilians, such as triple taxes, and so on, and then the civilians will recall the good life they once had. So under the voice of the common people, he was reserved, and he was able to return to power again, and walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage again.

The first thing to do when he came to power was to restore the policy to the way it was.

How would the subjects react at that time?

Presumably began to sing praises again, if anyone dares to launch any uprising, they must not need the army to do it, and the civilians will be able to destroy these rebels, as for the reason is very simple-

"Uprising, are you going to ruin the good life we have so hard to get back!"

It's a pity.

After all, the empire does not have the vision of Vega, after all, Vega is standing on the shoulders of giants, and the empire has not yet been able to grasp the importance of public opinion, and insists on believing that force is above all else, and can suppress the whole country with the remaining six million troops in its hands.

So, as an enemy, Vega raised his hands in favor of the Empire's decision.

"Is there anything else you want to report about the Empire?"

"There's one more thing. ”

The adjutant hurriedly continued to report: "Among these starry large and small organizations, one of them has grown infinitely in just one month, and now occupies three sub-strategic cities and seven small cities, and is regarded as the number one enemy by the empire, and is also regarded as the leader of many insurrectionary organizations, and the local organizations echo him from afar. ”

"If the empire falls one day, it must be the credit of this organization. ”

Vega gave high praise to the organization.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and this organization has achieved achievements that other organizations cannot achieve, so other organizations will inevitably regard this organization as the leader and follow the voice, which is the same as the herd effect.

Originally, a group of sheep fought on their own, and they didn't even have a goal.

Now that the sheep have a leader, they can concentrate their efforts in one place and unleash a blow that the Empire has to take seriously. If the empire has not yet realized the importance of public opinion and continues to suppress it by force, then this blow will be reduced to two or three blows...... Until the Empire's galactic battleship sank completely.

"Who is the leader of this organization?"

Vega was intrigued and couldn't help but ask.

"It's a guy named 'Coverdale'. ”

The adjutant looked at the intelligence in his hand and read it according to the script: "According to the personal resume we have gathered, he was originally a captain and company commander on the front line of the City of War. According to the photo, two soldiers of our army pointed out that they had seen him in the office of General Kafin, the underground headquarters of the enemy army, and because they could not stop him in time, he escaped from the tunnel. ”

"Troubled times make heroes. ”

Vega sighed heartily, no matter which method he used, being able to escape safely from his more than a million troops back to the central part and pull up such a large uprising organization in less than a month was enough to demonstrate the ability of this company commander.

"In the Imperial Army, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”

Vega looked at the map of the empire and said: "A small company commander can actually do this, it is enough to see how many potential talents the empire has cultivated in the military academy system over the years, but unfortunately the empire does not know how to know people and make good use of them, it is really a violent thing." ”

Just as Vega sighed.

Seeing that Vega didn't have any other reaction, the adjutant said with some puzzlement: "Please forgive your presumptuousness, doesn't Your Highness take advantage of the internal strife in the empire to do something? ”

Vega looked at the adjutant and shook his head.

"You're wrong, now it's better to use static braking. ”

"Please forgive your obsolescence. ”

The adjutant looked at Vega with a puzzled look, hoping for an answer.

"Do you know what is the way to unite a group of people?"

"A good leader?"

"I've been given the same answer as you, but unfortunately not. ”

Vega looked at the map with deep eyes and said, "The way to unite a group of people is not a good leader, but a common enemy, and now if I invade the empire, I will become that 'common enemy', do you understand?"

"You're saying that the Empire may unite with the rebels?"

"Not a possibility, but a certainty!"

Vega said categorically: "Once they are united, and the Empire performs better than the rebel organization in the war, then the Empire will regain the lost hearts and minds of the people." In the end, no matter whether the empire wins or loses, as long as they outperform the rebels, then the empire will become the biggest winner of this war, as long as they win back the hearts of the people, the lost territory can be regained sooner or later. ”

"Your Highness is wise. ”

The adjutant's heart shuddered, realizing how wrong his judgment was.

If you really start a war against the Empire at this time, even if you get more territory, you may make a small profit in the end, but in the long run, the Empire will definitely not lose.

"Then may I ask Your Highness, can we only wait for the end of the Imperial Civil War?"

"Quite the opposite. ”

Vega gave a negative answer: "Although this is not the time to use force against the Empire, it does not mean that we have nothing to do. ”
