Guo Chunfeng shuddered. "Young brother, why do you say that?"
Lu Zui, who had been crouching in a corner as if he had been meditating, suddenly bulged his eyes, which were beaming with disbelief. ∈ ¯.
"It's very simple. Experience!"
Li Yao sneered. "I've traveled in the sea of stars for more than ten years. I've been through countless bloody battles large and small, and I've cracked countless unpredictable schemes. Finally, I've concluded an unbreakable pattern, which is that …
"No matter where I go, as long as I run into a conspiracy, the final mastermind will definitely be the local leader of the righteous forces, the big brother in charge, especially the kind that is open and honorable!"
"When I went to Iron Plateau, the assassination of the chief and the internal strife of the six tribes of Iron Plateau happened. The mastermind was Yan Xibei, the former leader of Iron Plateau!
"When I went to Heavenly Saints City, the coup of the Temple of Immortals and the Imperium of True Human Beings took place. The mastermind behind it was Xiao Xuance, the leader of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City and the best expert of the Flying Star Sector!
"When I went to the Blood Demon Sector, from the perspective of the demons, the Red Tide Plan was blocked and the Eye of Blood Demon was sort of a scheme, too. The planner of the scheme was also Jin Tuyi, the nominal commander-in-chief of the demon army and the leader!
"Then, now that I've returned to the Tian Yuan Realm, and the incident of the Patriots Partnership has taken place, isn't it obvious who the most ambitious schemer behind the scheme is? It's Speaker Jiang Hailiu, the leader of the Xing Yao Federation! "
"…" Guo Chunfeng.
"…" Lu Zui.
Guo Chunfeng wiped his sweat. "Young — young brother, you are truly a great strategist. I do admire you. However, do you have any solid proof?"
"Of course. I'm not just making up my mind!"
Li Yao said confidently. "First of all, since the guy made Lu Zui sacrifice himself willingly, his position must be higher than that of Lu Zui's, if not on par with him! Few people in the entire Federation are qualified to do that. Only a couple of them, including the Speaker, are qualified to do so!
"Secondly, Brother Guo, don't you think it's strange that Speaker Jiang woke up? Now that Lu Zui has been exposed and the dust has settled, I can naturally deal with the mess left behind by Lu Zui! "
"Also, Speaker Jiang started his political career as a mayor of a small city on the Grand Desolate Plateau. The city that he had been running for more than ten years was completely wiped out by the beast tides! Therefore, Speaker Jiang hates the demon race, too. He has every reason to join the Patriots Partnership!
"Therefore, the incident of the Speaker's assassination was a self-directed play by Jiang Hailiu. He completely cleared himself of suspicion in such a way! It was great that Lu Zui's plan was going smoothly! If Lu Zui is exposed, he can still jump out in time and continue with the plan! "
"Right now, Lu Zui has thrown out a large batch of valuable nests of the Patriots Partnership and transferred most of the experts of the Federation to the south and the East Ocean. The combat ability in the capital city is unprecedentedly weak. All the representatives and experts are suspecting that they are the remnants of the Patriots Partnership. Everybody is in a mess now!
"At such a moment, if Jiang Hailiu still has an unexpected troop in his hands, he will naturally be able to do whatever he wants!
"As expected of the Speaker. What a great plan. There's no way that he will lose!"
Guo Chunfeng nodded quickly. "Fair enough. Fair enough. As expected of my young brother … Wait. There's another problem! Assuming that Speaker Jiang is really a leader of the Patriots Partnership, why did he make such an unnecessary move?
"He and Lu Zui are both leaders of the Patriots Partnership, and Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao is a maniac who is always yelling about fighting and killing. Then, wouldn't he have declared war directly after the beast tide struck the capital city three months ago? Why did he have to do so many things?
"At that time, most representatives supported the war. It was only because Speaker Jiang and a few other representatives insisted on their opinion and had the support of the allies of the Flying Star Sector that the two parties were still in a stalemate. Lu Zui was forced to assassinate the Speaker!"
"About that …"
Li Yao smiled and blinked quickly. His face was somewhat rigid. "Great question! Why didn't I think of such a huge loophole? "
"…" Guo Chunfeng.
"…" Lu Zui.
"Wait!"
Li Yao's nose twitched, as if he had smelled something weird in the air. His eyes were somewhat out of focus, and his hands were scratching in midair. There was no telling what he had grasped. His eyes flashed as he said in a hurry, "Brother Guo, you mentioned a name just now … Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao!
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I finally understand why I've been feeling that something is not right!
"Before I returned to the Tian Yuan Realm, Jin Tuyi told me that there were three people of paramount importance in the Federation if the peace talks were to be initiated! Speaker Jiang Hailiu, Director Lu Zui, and Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao!
"But in the incident, Jiang Hailiu and Lu Zui both showed up one after another. Lu Zui was the villain, and the Speaker was blown up the moment he showed up. It was not his fault. But what about Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao?
"The capital city has been turned upside down. Why hasn't the seasoned general shown up to stabilize the situation? Isn't he too unnoticeable? "
Guo Chunfeng thought for a moment and said, "After the Speaker was assassinated, the entire Federation was infuriated. The Union Army was restless, too. To stabilize the morale of the army, Zhou Hengdao flew to the depths of the Grand Desolate Plateau in person that night and hosted the large-scale joint drill codenamed 'Fist of Fury'."
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. "The Speaker was assassinated during the day, and the Iron Commander went to the depths of the Grand Desolate Plateau at night to organize an enormous drill? That's quite efficient! "
"Not exactly," Guo Chunfeng explained.
Guo Chunfeng explained. "The 'Fist of Fury' joint military drill was planned more than three months ago after the beast tide invaded the capital city. Four crystal suit legions and more than twenty general legions were involved. Quite a few war bases have been established deep inside the Grand Desolate Plateau for the drill.
"The drill will employ real soldiers and real bullets. The plan of the drill is that, assuming a large-scale war breaks out, the Union Army will pass through the Dark Desolate Domain as quickly as possible and march to the Nine Abyss of the Blood Demon Sector, where they will establish a forward base and establish the most solid foothold for the main troops that will follow.
"Therefore, the drill was prepared a long time ago, except that it was launched a few days earlier because of the Speaker's assassination."
Li Yao swallowed and felt that his throat was burning. "Four legions in Crystal Suit and twenty regular legions? Real soldiers and real bullets? Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao will lead the drill in person? It means that while it can be a large-scale drill, it can also be transformed into a real attack, right? "
"I don't think so."
Guo Chunfeng shook his head and said, "Although it will be real soldiers and real bullets, the ammunition and crystals that they carry will not be enough for a real war. More importantly, the logistical supplies are not planned at all.
"Even if so many members of the Union Army march into the Blood Demon Sector, there is absolutely no chance of winning without the reinforcements.
"How can there be no reinforcements?"
Li Yao looked at Guo Chunfeng gloomily. "Assuming that the 'simple-minded' Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao does march into the Blood Demon Sector with almost twenty legions without bothering about anything, will the rear just sit by and watch them get killed?"
Guo Chunfeng shuddered and sweated heavily. He was dazed for a long time before he stammered, "Although Zhou Hengdao is a big shot in the military and enjoys high prestige in the army, the federal army is not a private army. The soldiers of the federal army are loyal to the country, not to anyone! All the soldiers know that this is a drill. How can Zhou Hengdao march into the Blood Demon Sector openly with his personal prestige? Isn't this a 'mutiny'? "
Li Yao scratched his head hard. "That does make sense. But I still feel that something is wrong. Right. You said that this is a 'joint drill'. Who are we 'cooperating' with?"
"With Burning Prairie, the strongest warship of the three Sectors!"
Guo Chunfeng explained. "One of the main purposes of the 'Fist of Fury' joint drill is to train the cooperation between the warship of the Flying Star Sector and the army of the Heaven's Origin Sector and to integrate the two hundred thousand Grand Illusionary Soldiers into the Union Army quickly.
"Also, most of the soldiers on Burning Prairie are rookies, too. The performance of Burning Prairie itself is not very stable. The crew and the warship are in dire need of real battles!"
The predecessor of Burning Prairie, the strongest warship of the three Sectors, was Heavenly Phantom, which was co-produced by the six sects of Heavenly Saints City and the Star Fighters' Alliance and controlled by Xiao Xuance, the leader of the Immortal Cultivators.
Heavenly Phantom was Xiao Xuance's leverage to launch the riot of the Immortal Cultivators. Naturally, he spared no effort in infiltrating Heavenly Phantom.
When the riot of the Immortal Cultivators broke out, most of the soldiers on Heavenly Phantom were Immortal Cultivators. The proportion of Immortal Cultivators in the key posts was even 100%!
What was more critical was that the star brain, the mainframe crystal processor of Heavenly Phantom, was controlled by the star child from the Imperium of True Human Beings!
Therefore, after the riot of the Immortal Cultivators was suppressed, Heavenly Phantom, which was left to the Flying Star Sector, was riddled with holes. The bridge was a mess, the mainframe crystal processor had been completely destroyed, and most of the soldiers on the warship had been imprisoned and put on trial.
It was not until several years later that Heavenly Phantom was repaired, repainted, and renamed to Burning Prairie.
However, while it was easy to repair a warship, the training of the soldiers on the warship was not something that could be done overnight. To find a mainframe crystal processor that could replace the star child was even more difficult than climbing to the sky!
To resist the invasion of the Imperium of True Human Beings in a hundred years, hundreds of sects in dozens of space zones of the Flying Star Sector joined hands and established the Burning Prairie Fleet, a new armed force. They were planning to raise the most elite warriors from scratch!
Burning Prairie, as the first-generation flagship of the Burning Prairie Fleet, naturally shouldered the responsibility of raising the new warriors.
Right now, half of the soldiers on Burning Prairie were veterans recruited from various space zones of the Flying Star Sector. Despite their abundant experience, they were not familiar with each other yet.
The other half of the soldiers on the warship were the young soldiers of the Burning Prairie Fleet. They would grow together with the super warship in the decades to come.
In order to replace the computational ability of the star child, Burning Prairie was based on the super crystal processor of the Star Ocean Imperium in the Star Prier's House below the ground of Spider Den. Together with more than ten super crystal processors produced by the Flying Star Sector on their own, Burning Prairie established a super computation array.
Although its performance parameters were as good as the star child's in the past, its stability had plummeted, and problems were happening all the time.
Therefore, the combat ability of Burning Prairie today was much lower than when it was under Xiao Xuance's command in the past, especially in terms of stability and control.
It was exactly because they had realized that that the Flying Star Sector had sent Burning Prairie to the Tian Yuan Realm voluntarily, hoping that it could be polished in this place and build up the strongest combat ability as soon as possible.
"Brother Guo, do you know? I have a feeling."
Li Yao slowly squatted and scratched his hair hard. Staring at Lu Zui, who was expressionless in the corner, he mumbled, "Putting such a super warship whose performance is not very stable and whose crew is mostly rookies together with 'Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao', a seasoned warship that has been through countless bloody battles for two hundred years …"
