Chapter 954: The Problem of Han Tuhu
After several hours of calm thinking, Han Tuhu's expression was very different from what he had just said. It gave Li Yao the feeling that he was trying to suppress a part of his brain and forced himself to become a machine with precision calculations without emotional fluctuations.
"Sorry, Major Lee."
Han Tuhu held the field military cap in his hand, and his thumb kept rubbing the Red Star Medal on the military cap. The medal had been shining brightly by him. "I was so excited just now that I lost the calmness that a federal army commander should have. The unnecessary impulse and anger will only make my judgment mistakes and put the troops in an abyss that will never be restored. I need to apologize for my loss of control."
Li Yao didn't know whether Han Tuhu's changes were good or bad.
Han Tuhu stared at the medal in his palm in a daze. The shiny red five-star on the medal turned into two small sparks in his deep eyes. He was stunned for a long time and hesitated: "Actually, many of our brothers have thought about everything Major Li said on Youfu Island, after all..."
The tail like a meteor hammer crossed his shoulder and reached his head, like a thick arm, knocking on his ugly head, "Why can you not have any doubts when you look like you are not human or ghost?"
"At first, we thought it was just some conspiracy of the enemy, the effect of a brand new virus."
"But it was not only us who mutated. Soon, we came into contact with the Blood Lion Team, Suo Chaolong and other Silver Blood Demon Clans who were also imprisoned together."
"While we become more and more like the demon clan, Suo Chaolong has become more and more like the human clan. If we now pull me and Suo Chaolong to the cultivator whom we have never met, who can still say that I am a human being and he is a demon?"
"What's going on with all this? Whether I or Suo Chaolong, I'm afraid I'll ask myself countless times every night. This feeling is like ten thousand ants drilling into my brain. Every second it's chewing hard!"
"I want to figure out the answer, but I am afraid of the real answer, so I can only deceive myself and come up with all kinds of impossible reasons. The relationship between Suo Chaolong and I is the same as water and fire. Rather than saying that I hate him as an officer of the demon clan, it is better to say that I am jealous of him, jealous of his current appearance, and jealous of him, the evil demon clan, why can I have a human face!"
"I think he is the same, right? I can understand the look he looked at me, the look exactly like me!"
The expression on Han Tuhu's face could not be described by writing: "Do you know, Major Li, although you saved us, you also gave us a huge problem."
"Originally, neither I nor Suo Chaolong had ever thought that I could really escape from that dark terrifying island. We just wanted to die in great pain and vigorously before the desperate answer emerged and made us all go crazy. We died in battle as a glorious federal army, or a pure silver blood demon clan!"
"But you showed up and really rescued us all, and put the answers we were unwilling to face clearly before us!"
Li Yao listened quietly.
He had a feeling that Han Tuhu didn't need to respond, but just wanted to release all the dark emotions that had been deep in his heart for half a year like a heavy machine gun.
Sure enough, after saying all this, Han Tuhu stared at the ceiling for a long time, breathing a sigh of relief. He became completely different from the previous one: "Major Li, if he wants to cease fire or even join forces with the Blood Demon Realm, technically, he needs to solve several key problems."
Li Yao was stunned: "Col. Han, are you willing to let go of your prejudice and join forces with the demon clan?"
"I don't want to."
Han Tuhu seemed to be crawling out of the swamp that had been deep in half a year. A smart and somewhat cruel federal officer was awakening. He shook his head and said, "Even if everything you said is true, the human race and the demon race really come from the same source, so what?"
"Forty thousand years is enough to make the original race evolve into two different branches, not to mention that even within the same race, there may be irreconcilable contradictions."
“Race, never the only reason for war, never even the most important reason.”
"Take the biggest threat we face, the real human empire, isn't that also a human country, the same culture as us? But when they destroy us, they will not be ruthless."
"So, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't change my hatred for the demon race. I think it's difficult for the entire federal army to change this hatred in just a few years."
"only"
Han Tuhu's eyes became sharper and sharper, as if a scalpel had ripped the haze that had been shrouded in his brain, "I am a soldier, and my duty is to defend my country, defend the Starry Federation, and all citizens of the Starry Federation."
"I will do my best to fulfill my duties."
"If I could achieve this goal if I could destroy the Blood Demon Realm, I would exhaust my life to achieve this goal and kill every demon clan, no matter what kind of bird their ancestors changed."
"But if only by joining forces with the demon race can I save the Federation, I will make the right choice without hesitation. Even if this choice will be despised by countless people, despised by countless people, and even despised by myself, despised and hated, I will do this without hesitation."
"So, please tell me first, what is the war ability of the Flying Star Realm?"
"You said they had attacked a planet called the Spider's Nest Star, that is, they have certain starships to strike the planet? If we have strong assistance from the Flying Star Realm, can we attack on both sides and quickly conquer the Blood Demon Realm within one to two years?"
"Believe me."
Han Tuhu added, "Any general or politician of the Starry Federation will ask about this question."
Li Yao thought deeply for a long time: "From my observation, it's very difficult."
"The situation in the Flying Star Realm is completely different from that in the Tianyuan Realm. The human race there is basically in the state of 'starship civilization'. The so-called army exists in the form of 'Armored Division' and does not have a large-scale regular army commanding. The 'Spider' they have to deal with is just a mob composed of a group of star pirates."
"It is precisely because there is no regular army that they have to activate the dangerous weapon of the 'Taixu War Soldier'."
"What's more, the Flying Star World has just experienced a war that lasted for several years, and the losses are very heavy and it is still recovering."
"It's one thing to ask the Flying Star Realm to send a fleet to help the fellow tribes in the Tianyuan Realm defend their homes."
"But it's another matter to ask them to send hundreds of starships across thousands of mountains and rivers to attack a world of demons with a dangerous environment."
"After all, the Blood Demon Realm is not a small resource planet like Spider Nest Star, and it is not a mob like Star Pirates, but a government that is well-functioning, efficient and has a strong and regular army!"
"A powerful star sea fleet can indeed suppress a planet, but 'suppress' and 'conquer' are completely different things. Colonel Han must know this principle better than me."
"More importantly, the super-long-distance starry sky jumping technology is not yet mature, and every starship jumping from the flying star world consumes a lot of resources."
"It is extremely costly to jump the huge fleet of the Flying Star Realm to the Tianyuan Realm for at least a few years. Even if the Flying Stars cut off their belts, they may not be able to do it."
"On the other hand, under the brainwashing of the 'Four Pillar System', the demon clan in the Blood Demon Realm believes in the existence of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace and believes in the theory of 'Destruction, Rebirth, Immortality', which has strong resistance will and combat power. If it is a local battle, it will have an advantage."
"So even if the huge fleet of the Flying Star Realm really jumped to the synchronous orbit of the Blood Demon Star, and even blew the surface of the Blood Demon Star into scorched earth, so what?"
"Don't forget, the environment of the Blood Demon Star is extremely harsh. The demons here have long been used to poor mountains and rivers. At that time, at least they can hide from the underground and the seabed and engage in guerrilla warfare, and they can nail the army of the Tianyuan Realm and the Flying Star Realm to the Blood Demon Star, consuming a lot of resources in vain and sacrificing a large number of soldiers and cultivators."
"Whether the crystal armor, the crystal warship or the cultivator in a high-intensity combat state are simply giant gold-swalking beasts, and the resources consumed every day are astronomical!"
"And these resources, these soldiers and cultivators, are essential for us to fight against the real human empire!"
"I think the Federal Army must have also formulated a relevant comprehensive offensive plan and calculated how much resources and lives it will take to completely conquer the blood demon world?"
Han Tuhu smiled bitterly: "The General Staff of the Federal Army has indeed formulated many war plans to fully attack the Blood Demon Realm. Even according to the most optimistic estimate, after continuing to defend locally for five to ten years, Tianyuan Realm will squeeze out all local resources and form a total of fifty full crystal armored battle groups. Then, with these fifty battle groups as the main force, turn to strategic attacks and attack the Blood Demon Realm. You can eliminate the main force of the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance in the Blood Demon Realm within five years, and completely conquer the Blood Demon Realm within the next twenty years!"
"At that time, the estimated total loss of troops in the 20 years was..."
"One Thirty million federal troops!"
"It is equivalent to 20 years that the entire federal army must be smashed into it and replaced with blood!"
"According to the optimistic estimate of the General Staff, this comprehensive war will bring the national economy of the Starry Federation backward for fifty years. It is expected that in the 18th year of the war, the GDP will fall to its lowest value, only at 65% at the current level. When we completely occupy the blood demon world, this continuous downward curve will slowly rise after ten years of hovering at the bottom. It is expected that positive returns will be achieved from this war in fifty years."
"So, I want to confirm whether this time can be greatly shortened with the help of a powerful fleet of allies."
