Chapter 2171

"I once heard a little story in the Guxiu era, saying that the prince of a certain planet Empire rebelled in an attempt to kill his father and emperor, and the reason was" is there a prince of sixty years in the world? "

Li Linghai said quietly, "ha ha, in today's Human Empire, resources are abnormally concentrated, and all kinds of life prolonging magic powers are popular. Let alone the" Prince of 60 years ", even the" Prince of 360 years "is possible.

"If you think about it, you are a gifted, powerful and ambitious young monk who wants to do something. But you live in the world, including the world leader, the patriarch, the presidents of major groups, the commander of local garrison, the commander in chief of the fleet... Almost all the high-level people have not changed in one or two hundred years, and they occupy the top of your head He looks so comfortable that he can live for 200 years. How do you feel? Do you feel hopeless and hopeless?

"What's more, as people live a long life, their ideas will inevitably be stale, their ideas will be rigid, they will resist to accept new things and new cultivation ideas, and they will stick to the old way. In the end, they will not only live a simple life, but also stick to their own power and interests, which greatly hinders the progress of the whole society.

"There are ten thousand ways for these old immortals to kill those young immortals who may threaten them but are not willing to be wooed and corrupted by them, so as to ensure their absolute rule.

"Once the young immortals are eroded by them, they will inevitably fall into a vicious circle of seniority and suffering. They will be enslaved and oppressed by them wantonly. They will go with the light and grind away the edges and corners. Finally, they will become a small component of these interest groups."

Lee was silent.

If we think about it carefully, if a society always abides by the idea of "the jungle, the winner takes all" and does not form a relatively stable rule of the alternation of the old and the new, then the situation mentioned by Li Linghai is bound to appear.

"But there is a fatal weakness in these old people."

Li Linghai narrowed his eyes and raised a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth. "They can waste countless precious resources and barely keep their lives, but they can never maintain their combat effectiveness at the peak forever.

"Boxing is afraid of youth. It's a wise saying. The fighting power of an immortal will increase with the improvement of his realm, but it will also decline with the extension of his life. The real world is not a novel story. There is no such thing as" the older he gets, the more he can fight ". When life and realm reach the top and form a golden intersection, it is the peak stage of an immortal. But once this stage is over, he will be able to fight, I can't get it back.

"Therefore, many of the frightening sounding" four hundred year old Yuanying and five hundred year old Huashen "in the Empire are actually empty airs. Maybe their vision, experience and realm are still there, but it's not me or even your opponent to really start.

"One day, these decadent corpses will taste the vitality and unstoppable power of the younger generation - I firmly believe that!"

With a grin, Li Yao said, "if you give me a chance to turn dozens of high-level immortals of the empire into pigs, I will not object."

Li Linghai said with a faint smile: "don't worry, we have such a pleasant chat. We must have a tacit understanding when we cooperate with each other. We definitely have a chance.

"As mentioned above, the contradiction between high-level and low-level immortals is the fundamental contradiction faced by the Empire today.

"In addition to the fundamental contradictions, there are naturally contradictions between the big and the small.

"For example, the dozens of most developed industrial worlds in the center of Xinghai are squeezing and sucking blood from hundreds of resource worlds outside the Empire - do you need a detailed explanation?"

Li Yao shook his head.

It is almost impossible for the developed industrial world to squeeze and suck blood from the backward resource world. Even the Xingyao Federation is facing the same problem, that is, the so-called dispute between the "old three territories" and the "new four territories".

Tianyuan, blood demon and Feixing, the three core worlds, have relatively advanced technology and perfect refining system of big industrial magic weapon. Under the condition that they are all the same country and without tariff and trade barriers, they can dump crystal, nether world, Shuhai and other resource worlds every minute, and completely destroy crystal, nether world, Shuhai and other worlds The primitive and crude backward industrial system eventually turned crystal, nether world and Shuhai into dumping places for industrial products and primary resources supply places forever.

Because of this core contradiction, before Lee yew and the ancient sages returned to the union, there were great differences between the old three and the new four, and even formed two camps headed by Ding lingdang and Jin Xinyue, which were tit for tat and did not give in to each other.

Of course, Xingyao Federation is a very young country, just like the real Empire thousands of years ago, which is full of vigor, enterprising and thriving.

On the one hand, the Federation has less than ten great worlds in total. With a short history of one hundred years, it is too late to form a strong fortress of interests. It is easy to solve any contradiction through negotiation.

On the other hand, at that time, the Federation was faced with the great threat of the black wind fleet and was at a critical juncture of life and death. The long-term contradiction of dumping and sucking blood from the industrial world to the resource world and earning a scissors gap could only be considered in the second place.

Third, under the leadership of Li Yao, the Federation has successively discovered the ancient holy world, the remains of Kunlun, the Dragon Star of bones and other rich and wasteful world and advanced technologies, which is equivalent to obtaining a large amount of start-up funds out of thin air, and has played a great role in lubricating and easing the increasingly acute contradictions between Japan and Japan.

In addition, the leaders of Ding lingdang, Jin Xinyue and other respective interest groups, with great patience and wisdom, temporarily shelved disputes and resolved contradictions, including Jin tuyi and others taking charge of the overall situation behind the scenes. Finally, the old three territories and the new four territories can unite and successfully defeat the black wind fleet.

In this case, it is hard for Li Yao to imagine how to solve the problem of unbalanced regional economic development, the increasingly serious "siphon effect" in the industrial world and the increasing scissors gap in the expanding Xingyao Federation after several hundred years.

Therefore, many experts of starshine Federation even assert that the best state for the Federation is that it has no more than ten worlds.

This is the limit of scale effect and comprehensive national strength. If we expand blindly, we will suffer from indigestion and even death.

The Empire of human beings with hundreds of worlds, even if it has not supported itself to death, has at least broken itself.

The Empire had almost none of the advantages of the Federation.

Li Yao didn't think that the developed industrial world under the rule of the four emperors and Marquis families would show mercy to the frontier resource world that the Empire gradually opened up later.

It must be that they can suck as much blood as they can and dump as much as they can. It's better to completely submerge these remote worlds with the large-scale cheap magic weapon of assembly line production, so as to ensure that they can never develop any magic weapon refining industrial system and can only serve as the primary resource provider for the four election emperors, Fall into the "500 tons of raw ore for a crystal armor" trap can not extricate themselves.

So, are the rulers of the remote world, also ambitious world leaders, warlords and fleet commanders, willing to let their world forever become a remote place with many mines but no magic weapon factories, oppressed, dumped and sucked by the families of the four general election emperors?

This is the battle between the "old three territories" and the "new four territories", which is intensifying and expanding ten times!

In the Federation, the struggle between the industrial world and the resource world has been temporarily fooled by Li Yao, Ding lingdang and Jin Xinyue.

Today's empire is not so simple, even if civil war breaks out, it seems not surprising.

Li Linghai quietly observed Li Yao's expression. Seeing that he was really thoughtful, he raised his evaluation to a higher level. He nodded and said: "very good. He is worthy of being the speaker's special envoy. He is not a simple warrior."

"You can understand the contradiction between the industrial world and the resource world caused by the imbalance of regional economic development. As a fighting God like strongman, the contradiction between the" Military "and" families, sects, interest groups "is more understandable."

Li Yaowei was stunned: "what is that?"

"It's very simple. Now all the armies in the human empire are nominally called" imperial army ", but in fact there is no unified command and operation system. Even the financial power and the control of military industrial groups are not in the hands of the military.

"In fact, it has been eroded by nobles and warlords for hundreds of years. Except for the Imperial forces in the capital, the celestial kingdom and the Celestial Star, there is no real existence that can be called" imperial army ".

"The vast majority of the elite Xinghai fleet and Jingkai battle regiment are in the hands of nobles, warlords and world leaders, with their command, financial power and control of military industrial groups.

"In other words, the imperial army is just the private soldiers of the nobility, and they are just the old dogs.

"The simplest example is the army brought by Li Lingfeng, which we destroyed earlier. Can those people be called" imperial army "? No, they are just "Li Jia Jun," or even just Li Lingfeng's private soldiers. The term is "Jia Ding."

Li Yao nodded slowly.

In the end of the dynasty when the imperial power declined and the warlords rose, this kind of thing was natural.

In name, they should belong to the state, or at least to the emperor's army. In fact, they are all private soldiers of nobles and warlords. Nobles and warlords pay money, people, crystal armor and star warships to support them. They naturally have to protect, and can only protect, the interests of nobles and warlords.

"However, not every imperial soldier is willing to serve as a private soldier, servant and dog leg of the nobility all his life, and die worthlessly for the sake of power and territory between the nobility, especially for those who are full of vigor, ambition, lofty ideals and ambitions, and even... Firmly remember the past era of black star emperor, This is especially true for young officers at the grass-roots level who have a glorious history of the Imperial Army! "

Li Linghai's eyes were red, and he said in a murderous way, "gather the private soldiers scattered in all the world, nobles and gatekeepers, and form a powerful and real Imperial Army, so that the" Military "can make its own voice and roar like thunder!

"From then on, we will fight only for the interests of the Empire, only for human civilization, only for his majesty!

"This is the ideal of countless young officers. They are willing to fight to death for this ideal."
