Chapter 712: Sinister Purpose
The changes that occurred in the rear not only shocked Yang Yi, but also expected him.
Strictly speaking, what shocked Yang Yi was only the speed of the Lei Ling Clan's mobilization, especially the hundreds of thousands of cargo spaceships that had been taken out in such a short period of time. You must know that the Lei Ling Clan, as a top-level civilization, did not make a fortune by operating commercial, industrial and other entities at all in peacetime, and there was no need for this. With the status of a top-level civilization, the Lei Ling clan can easily obtain the resources of other civilizations, that is, they are supported by other civilizations. Even if there is a need to exchange interests, the Thunderling Clan has a large number of advanced technologies that other civilizations covet. Even if war breaks out, the Thunderling Clan can requisition the materials and equipment of other civilizations in wartime in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the Galactic Alliance.
It's not just the Thunderling, it's an essential characteristic of all top-tier civilizations.
To put it simply, in peacetime, top civilizations, including the Lei Ling clan, do not spend too much effort on economic construction, nor do they rarely participate in economic activities. In addition to improving the living standards of the people, the top civilization does only two things in peacetime, one is to maintain a military force strong enough to deter other civilizations, and the other is to develop science and technology. Because the top-level civilization has a king-level powerhouse, and an emperor-level powerhouse has the powerful power to destroy a civilization, the former is not important, and there is no need to maintain too many standing troops. All that a top civilization needs is advanced technology in order to be able to complete mobilization as quickly as possible in times of war.
The question is, where did those hundreds of thousands of cargo ships come from?
Although compared to the entire Galactic Alliance, hundreds of thousands of cargo ships are not much, even the Human Federation of only a sixth-class civilization has tens of millions of spaceships, but in any civilization, cargo ships must be registered, especially large cargo ships with a load of more than one million tons. What's more, in peacetime, no one can hide hundreds of thousands of cargo ships, not even the Thundering Clan. Building these ships requires a lot of materials, equipment, and all cargo ships capable of traveling across galaxies require large Origin Converters, so no civilization can build hundreds of thousands of cargo ships without the outside world knowing.
Obviously, the origin of these cargo ships is not simple.
Yang Yi couldn't figure it out, even if Wanluo Zhan Huang was the invincible overlord of the Galactic Alliance, it was impossible to conjure hundreds of thousands of cargo spaceships out of thin air.
However, this is not the most important thing.
With these hundreds of thousands of cargo ships, it won't be long before the Thundering Clan no longer has to rely on the Human Federation after completing the mobilization for war, especially those allied civilizations. Although hundreds of thousands of cargo ships were not enough due to the transportation distance, for the early stage of the war, this was enough, at least enough for the thousands of legions that the Lei Ling clan had already mobilized to fight in the Northern Alpha system. In other words, with these cargo spaceships, the combat operations of the Lei Ling Clan are no longer restricted by the Human Federation. When the time comes, it is certain that the Lei Ling Clan will have the same right to speak as the Star Weaver Clan, and this will become the source of all problems.
Although Yuyang said it clearly, the meaning has been clearly expressed. The Heavenly Saint Emperor was still indifferent, and it was obviously related to this.
To put it bluntly, these hundreds of thousands of cargo ships have not only changed the current battlefield pattern, but also affected the balance of power in the Galactic Alliance.
In fact, the key is the Human Federation.
Although after the Galactic Alliance Council made a war decision, except for the home system, the other galaxies of the North Alpha System are unconditionally open to all civilizations in the Alliance, and the Human Federation only has administrative jurisdiction, but none of the civilizations can take over the other star systems of the North Alpha Galaxy, most of the civilizations do not have this strength, while the top civilizations have the strength, but they don't want to add trouble to themselves. As a result, the Human Federation still plays a vital role, taking on the vast majority of logistical tasks during the war. In fact, during the last war, the Human Federation took on a similar mission, such as providing a garrison for the legions of other civilizations.
It can be said that whoever controls the Federation of Humans controls the course of the war.
It is precisely because of this that the Star Soul Empress will form an alliance with the Human Federation through Yang Yi to control the Human Federation and thus control the entire war.
If you change to Wanluo War Emperor, you have to do the same.
To put it bluntly, no commander-in-chief would attack the enemy without ensuring stability in the rear. The Star Soul Empress also signed an alliance treaty with the Human Federation, mastered most of the resources through the Jade Family, and led the main army of the Star Weaver Clan to march into the Northern Alpha System after Yang Yi became the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. If the Wanluo War Emperor is the same, then the first thing to do is to control the Human Federation.
Obviously, there are not many means that Wanluo Zhanhuang can choose, and it is nothing more than supporting a spokesperson.
This spokesperson must not only have the identity and status that can represent the Human Federation, but also have enough strength to at least be able to influence the Human Federation.
The question is, is there such a spokesperson?
The answer is clearly no.
Although the division of the Human Federation has long been formed, and it is the nine theater commanders who really hold the power, none of the theater commanders has the strength to control the entire Human Federation, and the only one who can control the Human Federation is the Jade family. Obviously, Wanluo Zhanhuang would definitely not expect to make the Yu family defect. What's more, after uniting many autonomous governments, the Jade family seems to have become the spokesperson of the Human Federation.
In this case, what will Wanluo Zhanhuang do?
The answer is obvious, in the absence of other spokespersons, the only choice for the Wanluo War Emperor is to eradicate the only spokesperson who has taken refuge in the Weaving Star Clan, and then support a puppet, and eradicate all opponents with a thunderous force, so that this puppet can become the spokesperson of the Human Federation. As long as the overall situation has been decided, even if it is just a puppet with little influence, it can control the Human Federation with the support of the Lei Ling Clan. If the situation gets out of control, the Wanluo War Emperor will also take over the Human Federation in person, or take over the Human Federation in accordance with the relevant laws of the Galactic Alliance. Even if he was opposed by the Hidden Spirit Clan and the Star Weaver Clan, the Wanluo War Emperor could win the support of one side through compromise.
Undoubtedly, this is also the fundamental reason why the Heavenly Holy Emperor is indecisive.
With the intelligence ability of the Hidden Spirit Clan, it was not difficult to figure out the intentions of the Wanluo War Emperor at all. Seeing the overall situation clearly, especially since the Wanluo War Emperor was ready to subvert the existing regime of the Human Federation, even if the Heavenly Saint Emperor thought that it was profitable to form an alliance with Yang Yi, he would not immediately stand up. As a human being, he would choose to wait and see what happened, and make a decision after the situation became clear, so as to obtain the greatest benefits.
So, does the Wanluo War Emperor have the ability to subvert the existing regime of the Human Federation?
Obviously, the answer is yes.
With the Heavenly Saint Emperor silent, and the Star Soul Empress far away in the Northern Alpha Galaxy, no one in the entire Galactic Alliance could fight against the Wanluo War Emperor. If you count the Lei Ling Clan Legion that has already reached the Northern Fourth District, even the four second-rate top-level civilizations can't do it.
It can be said that after making proper preparations, Wanluo Zhanhuang can change the existing situation at any time.
Before that, he didn't act, he just wasn't prepared.
Rallying dozens of civilizations, forming galactic alliances, and deploying hundreds of thousands of cargo ships at a high rate are signs of readiness.
As Yu Linglong mentioned, the only one who can stop the Wanluo War Emperor is the Star Soul Empress now.
Not to mention how many legions the Weaver Clan has mobilized and how many legions can be dispatched, as long as the Star Soul Empress returns to the Galactic Alliance as a Triumphant, at least in terms of prestige, she will surpass the Wanluo War Emperor. In addition, the Weavers were the first to mobilize for war, and the first to complete the war mobilization, as well as thousands of allied civilizations, some of whom have already sent troops, and all that is missing is a leader who can unite them. What's more critical is that the Wanluo War Emperor first formed the Galactic Alliance Alliance, rather than attacking the Human Federation first, mainly because he didn't want to cause the Galactic Alliance to fall apart, and only by maintaining the status quo would his supremacy in the Galactic Alliance be meaningful. In this way, as long as the Star Soul Empress returns in time and responds to the call of the Galactic Alliance, the Wanluo War Emperor will not act rashly, at least before this, he will gain the support of another emperor-level powerhouse, that is, the Heavenly Saint Emperor, and will challenge the Star Soul Empress only after mastering the absolute advantage. It's just that after the return of the Star Soul Empress, the Heavenly Saint Emperor is more likely to form an alliance with the Human Federation through Yang Yi. Quite simply, as long as the situation stabilizes, especially if the Star Soul Empress's victory in the Northern Alpha System is recognized, the status of the Wanluo War Emperor will plummet. Instead of helping the Wanluo War Emperor who is gone, it is better to assist the Star Soul Empress who is gaining momentum.
It can be seen that the Empress of the Star Soul is the Dinghai Divine Needle.
The question is, didn't Wanluo Zhanhuang even see such a simple question clearly?
You know, the main army of the Weavers didn't win recently, having captured the bridgehead in the Northern Alpha system a few months ago. What's more, the Phantom Ghost Emperor of the Silicon Phantom Alliance had disappeared hundreds of years ago, and it was only natural that the main army of the Weaver Clan would achieve an even greater victory. After recognizing this, the Wanluo War Emperor either gave up everything he had or immediately took action.
In addition, the vanguard of the Lei Ling Clan had already arrived in the North Fourth District, and the hundreds of thousands of cargo ships had already existed. As for the dozens of civilizations that have joined the coalition, some have already sent troops, and it doesn't matter whether these civilizations send troops or not, at least the Wanluo War Emperor will not expect their legions to play a key role.
Obviously, dragging it out until this time to prepare for action is not only unreasonable, but also not like the actions of Wanluo War Emperor.
Could it be that the Wanluo War Emperor did this on purpose, not to subvert the existing power of the Human Federation, but to let the Star Soul Empress go back and stabilize the overall situation?
The problem is that as long as the Star Soul Empress returns, then no matter what the purpose of the Wanluo War Emperor is, I am afraid it will not be realized.
Unless, his purpose is to deal with the Star Soul Empress!
Thinking of this, Yang Yi was both shocked and felt completely reasonable. The Star Soul Empress has risen, and if the Wanluo War Emperor wants to retain his status as the overlord of the Galactic Alliance, the feasible way is not to lead the Lei Ling Clan into battle, but to eradicate the most threatening competitor.
Obviously, this is also the only way. (To be continued.) )
