Although di feiwen said so sincerely, Li Yao did not immediately agree, but slightly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you misunderstood me. I'm not the" overlord of the Xinghai border ". I'm not interested in" overlord "," supreme of the three worlds "," king of the black wind ", such messy titles and managing such a large fleet or country."

"Very understanding."

Di feiwen nodded and said, "the so-called power and status is often just a shortcut to the ultimate power. If a strong person has incomparable power, he really does not need to use power, status and reputation to restrain himself.

"In the center of Xinghai, there are many strong people like President Li who like to be unrestrained, absolutely free, and focus on the impact of human evolution to a higher level, as well as exploring unprecedented places. Naturally, they are not interested in worldly affairs.

"However, the black wind fleet has its own complete operation system, and I can barely serve the fleet for another few decades. I don't need your own management, I just need your strength and prestige to rally people and boost morale; It's like your wife is not a management type practitioner, but she can still become the speaker of Xingyao Federation in an indisputable manner. "

"Speaking of this --"

Li Yao said coldly, "I am proud of my status as a" citizen of Xingyao Federation ". I will never give up this status. Whether the Federation recognizes dual nationality is still a question, and I will not easily agree to be the" king of the black wind. "

"Why not?"

Di feiwen asked, "now the Federation is also eager to peacefully solve the complicated problems left by the remnants of the black wind fleet. It wants to get more information and information about our huge fleet and the human Empire, even through the black wind fleet, Some level of direct contact with the human Empire - as long as you promise to be our new leader, it will be possible.

"I know that Xingyao Federation has its own insurmountable principles, but our small request does not violate any of your laws or even moral standards, does it? No one will be hurt in this deal, but thousands of innocent people will be saved. Why not the Federal Parliament? "

"You're very clever. I'm beginning to understand why you can still be the number two in the black wind fleet, where the jungle is the strongest and the smoke is the worst."

Li Yao was still unmoved. "It's a pity that you didn't really submit to me. You just wanted to use my fame and prestige to seek self-interest, maintain a certain degree of independence, and even become a cancer in the Federation."

"Of course."

Di feiwen said calmly, "President Li, please think from our point of view. Although our black wind fleet suffered a tragic defeat, at least one third of the fleet is still undamaged and still has the strength of the first World War. The arrogance of the super hegemony in the center of the Xinghai sea can not be wiped out in an instant. In this case, is it possible for us to lay down our arms and surrender unconditionally?

"The theory of" dark forest "was very popular in both Xingyao Federation and Human Empire for a period of time. Although this theory may not be universally applicable, some details are worth learning, such as" chain of suspicion ".

"Isn't the remnant of Xingyao Federation and Heifeng fleet now trapped in a strange circle of suspicion chain? Even if the remnants of the black wind fleet want to surrender, they will worry about what fate they will face after surrendering, whether they will suffer inhuman torture, whether they will involve their families and descendants on the immigrant ships, whether they will forever mine on the barren planet on the edge of the star sea, and thus become a pile of bones deep in the mine cave, never having a chance to return to their hometown in the middle of the star sea, Let their flag fly again.

"Similarly, even if I surrender unconditionally without any conditions today, will the federal side not doubt us?

"No, you will also worry about whether these unruly immortals will have their own plans and rebel again. You will try your best to guard against and weaken us. The two sides will speed up friction in mutual distrust, fall into a vicious circle, and finally" make a fake come true "and make another rebellion happen.

"For me, surrender is not a problem. The problem is the relationship and trust between the two sides after surrender. It is the best way that I can think of to break the chain of suspicion between the two sides that you will be the king of the black wind of the new generation."

"You don't have to worry about that."

"The Federation means what it says. Even the blood demon world, which used to have blood feuds for hundreds of years, can be integrated. Now the blood demon world is an important part of the Xingyao Federation. Many demon clans have become federal congressmen and leaders of various key positions. You know, when the hatred between the two sides is deepest, the blood demon world almost broke the federal capital!

"One third of the black wind fleet under your command has not even stepped into the territory of the Federation. There is no blood feud. What do you worry about?"

"No, that's not the same."

Di feiwen shook his head and said, "from the point of view of the whole human world, the blood demon world is one of the last demon world. They were originally at an absolute strategic disadvantage, digesting and absorbing them, and there are not too many future troubles.

"But the black wind fleet is different. We still have a huge human Empire behind us. If we don't properly handle the delicate relationship among the Empire, the black wind fleet and the Federation, in case the Federation really conflicts with the Empire one day, no matter who wins or loses, the black wind fleet will be the first to suffer.

"The most important point is that the so-called integration of the blood demon world and the Tianyuan world has a very important premise - Jin Xinyue, the leader of the blood demon world, is your true disciple, which is known all over the world, and has become the basis of mutual trust. Does this not prove the importance of becoming the" king of the black wind "from another side? Because what we need is just such a "foundation of trust."

Di feiwen has a good reason. Li Yaoshi can't refute it, but he is a bit ridiculous. Half a year ago, he fought with the star sea of the black wind fleet and fought with yemening on the bridge of the black vortex. He didn't expect that one day, the remnants of the black wind fleet would cry and ask him to take over yemening's place.

"Don't you worry that when I become the 'King of the black wind', I will use the black wind fleet as cannon fodder?"

Li Yao asked incredulously.

"So to speak --"

Di feiwen lengthened his voice and said, "even if you are not the 'King of the black wind', as long as we choose to surrender, won't the Federation regard the black wind fleet as cannon fodder?"

For a while, Li Yao was unable to speak.

"We believe that from the strategic perspective of Xingyao Federation, we can see that there is no possibility of long-term peaceful coexistence between Xingyao Federation and today's Human Empire."

Di feiwen continued to talk with a smile, "in the past, the Empire did not know the existence of the Federation, and the two sides could make peace under the cover of the vast sea of stars. Unfortunately, in the past ten years, some information about the border of the sea of stars has been sent back to the Empire.

"These information may not be sent directly to the imperial capital, to the imperial court and the emperor. Even if the Empire was busy with launching a strategic counterattack against the holy alliance, it would not have time to reach the edge of the Xinghai sea for a while.

"But how long can such a fragile" peace "last, 20 years, 10 years or less?

"If the Xingyao Federation wants to defend its small territory and norms, it must not wait for the day when the imperial soldiers come down. It can only choose to attack on its own initiative - not necessarily a large-scale military attack, but also infiltrate into the interior of the Empire, subtly change the empire from the political and institutional levels, and transform today's empire into a different one, President Li, Am I right? "

Li Yao was startled. He didn't expect that the deputy commander in chief of the black wind fleet, who was not amazing in appearance, had such a fierce strategic vision.

Indeed, even after winning the battle of Xinghai, many strategic experts in the Federation still concluded that Xingyao Federation did not have the ability to carry out "overall war" with Human Empire.

A star sea battle can be won by the harmony of time, place and people. However, if it is a war that spans hundreds of years, it will be a contest between the two sides in terms of their comprehensive national strength. Even if there are ten Li Yao and ten Ding bells, it will not be enough to change the outcome of this kind of war.

Therefore, if the Federation wants to march into the central part of Xinghai, it is unlikely to go all the way in at least a few hundred years. It is more likely to send some elite to infiltrate into the Empire, grasp the contradiction between the so-called "original people" and "real people", and try to disintegrate the empire from the inside, or at least transform the Empire at some level!

Li Yao put forward this idea when he launched the "black hole plan" more than 100 years ago. It has been enriched to today's level through the calculation and deduction of countless strategic experts.

To his surprise, di feiwen pointed to the core. What he said made Li Yaosheng feel that "heroes have the same ideas". He thought highly of this "merchant general".

"If the Federation, or president Li himself, really intends to divide, transform and even subvert the empire from within, then our black wind fleet will undoubtedly become your most important help."

Di feiwen is still respectful and seems to have treated Lee Yao as the "king of black wind." similarly, as long as president Li is willing to officially become the "king of black wind" in front of the five world immortals, such as black wind, in public, and make this result known to the world, we are willing to believe your oath and promise, I believe you will lead us back to the center of Xinghai
