Although Di Feiwen said so sincerely, Li Yao still did not agree immediately, but shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid you misunderstood. I'm neither the overlord of the Star Sea Frontier. I have no interest in the overlord, the Supreme of the Three Realms, the King of Black Wind, and other messy titles, as well as managing such a large fleet or country."

“Very well understood.”

Di Feiwen nodded and said, "The so-called power and status are often just shortcuts to the ultimate power. If a strong man himself has unrivaled power, he does not need to use power, status and reputation to bind himself.

"In the middle of the star sea, there are many powerful people like President Li who like to be free and absolutely free, focus on impacting on the higher realms of human evolution, and explore unprecedented places of entry. They naturally have no interest in the mundane affairs of the world.

"However, the Black Wind Fleet has its own complete operating system, and I can barely serve the fleet for decades. You don't need to manage it yourself. You just need to use your strength and prestige to reunite people's hearts and boost morale; just like your wife is not a management cultivator, but she can still become the Speaker of the Starry Federation in an indisputable manner."

“When it comes to this”

Li Yao said coldly, "I am proud of being a 'Starry Federation citizen' and will never give up this identity. Whether the Federation recognizes dual nationality is still a question, and I will not easily agree to be the 'Black Wind King'."

"Why don't you agree?"

Di Feiwen asked back, "Now the Federation is also eager to peacefully resolve the complex and endless problems left by the remaining soldiers of the Black Wind Fleet. It also wants to obtain our huge fleet and more information about the Real Human Empire. It even hopes to obtain some level of direct contact with the Real Human Empire through the Black Wind Fleet. As long as you agree to become our new leader, all this will be possible.

"I know that the Star Federation has its own insurmountable principles, but our small request does not violate any of your laws and even moral codes, right? No one will be hurt in this transaction, but can save the lives of millions of innocent people. Why not do it?"

"You are very clever. I began to understand why you are still able to become the second person in the Black Wind Fleet, which is so vicious that you have no combat power."

Li Yao was still unmoved, "It's a pity that you did not really surrender to me, but just wanted to use my fame and prestige to seek personal gain for yourself, maintain a certain degree of independence, and even become a cancer in the federal body."

"Of course."

Di Feiwen said calmly, "President Li, please think from our perspective. Although our Black Wind Fleet suffered a crushing defeat, at least one-third of the fleet was still unscathed and still had the power to fight. The arrogance from the super hegemony of the Star Sea Central is even more impossible to be erased instantly. In this case, is it possible to ask us to put down our weapons and surrender unconditionally?

"Whether the Star Federation or the Real Human Empire, the 'Dark Forest' theory was very popular for a while. Although this theory may not be a universal truth, some of the details are worth learning from, such as the statement of 'Suspect Chain'.

"Are the current remnants of the Starlight Federation and the Black Wind Fleet trapped into a vicious circle of suspicion? Even if the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet want to surrender, they will worry about what fate they will face after surrender, whether they will suffer inhuman torture, whether they will implicate the families and descendants of the immigrant ships, and will they always mine on the desolate planet on the border of the Star Sea, and become a pile of dead bones deep in the mine cave, and will never have the chance to return to their hometown in the middle of the Star Sea, so that their battle flags will flutter in the wind again.

"Similarly, even if I do not propose any conditions today and surrender unconditionally, will the Federation not doubt us?

"No, you will also worry about whether these rebellious cultivators have other plans and whether they will rebel again. You will rack your brains to be vigilant, guard against and weaken us. Both sides accelerate friction in mutual distrust, fall into a vicious cycle, and eventually "making falsehoods come true", so that rebellion will really happen.

"For me, surrender is not a problem. The problem is the relationship and trust between the two parties after surrender. You will serve as the new generation of "Black Wind King" and is the best way for me to think of breaking the "chain of suspicion" between each other."

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

Li Yao said decisively, "The Federation keeps its word. We can even merge the blood demon world that had hundreds of years of blood feud in the past. Now the Blood Demon World is an important part of the Starry Federation. Many demon races have become federal members and leaders of various key areas. You must know that when the two sides were at the deepest hatred, the Blood Demon World almost broke through the federal capital!

"The Black Wind Fleet under your command has never even stepped in the territory of the Federation. No one can say that there is any blood hatred, what are you worried about?"

"No, that's different."

Di Feiwen shook his head and said, "From the perspective of the entire human world, the Blood Demon World is one of the last demon worlds. They have originally been at an absolute strategic disadvantage. There are not many consequences for digesting and absorbing them.

"But the Black Wind Fleet is different. There is still a huge real human empire behind us. If we don't handle the subtle relationship between the Empire and the Black Wind Fleet and the Federation, if one day the Federation really conflicts with the Empire, no matter who you wins and loses, the first one that will definitely be the Black Wind Fleet.

"The most important point is that the so-called fusion of the Blood Demon Realm and the Tianyuan Realm has a very important premise. Jin Xinyue, the leader of the Blood Demon Realm, is your true disciple. This is known to everyone in the world and has become the basis of trust between both parties. Isn't this also proved from another aspect that the importance of being the "King of Black Wind"? Because what we need is just such a "basis of trust."

Di Feiwen is reasonable and well-founded, but Li Yao really cannot refute it, but he is a bit ridiculous. Half a year ago, he fought with Hei Yeming in the Star Sea and fought life and death on the Black Vortex bridge. He could not have imagined that one day, the remaining soldiers of the Black Wind Fleet would cry and shout and ask him to take over Hei Yeming's position.

"Aren't you worried that after I become the 'King of Black Wind', I will treat the Black Wind Fleet as cannon fodder?"

Li Yao asked in disbelief.

"That's it"

Di Feiwen dragged his voice and said, "Even if you don't become the 'King of Black Wind', as long as we choose to surrender, will the Federation not treat the Black Wind Fleet as cannon fodder?"

Li Yao was speechless for a moment and couldn't speak for a long time.

"We believe that the strategic vision of the Starry Federation should be able to see that the Starry Federation and the real human empire today do not have the possibility of long-term peaceful coexistence."

Di Feiwen smiled slightly and continued to talk, "In the past, the Empire did not know the existence of the Federation. Both sides could still be safe 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.

"This information may not be sent directly to the imperial capital, to the court and the emperor. Even if the empire, which was busy launching a strategic counterattack against the Holy Alliance, had no time to reach out to the border of the Star Sea for a while, even if it collected this information.

“But how long can such a fragile 'peace' last? Twenty years, ten years or less?

"If the Starry Federation wants to defend its small territory and principles, it must not sit still and wait for death. Waiting for the day when the imperial soldiers are approaching, it can only choose to take the initiative to attack, but it may not be a large military attack. It is more likely to infiltrate the empire and subtly change the empire from the political and institutional levels, and transform the empire today into another form. President Li, am I right?"

Li Yao was shocked. He really didn't expect that this unstunning deputy commander-in-chief of the Black Wind Fleet would have such a ruthless strategic vision.

Indeed, even after winning the Star Sea Battle, the analysis and results of many strategic experts from the Federation were still that the Starry Federation did not have the ability to engage in a "total war" with the Real Human Empire.

A Star Sea Battle can be won by the right time, place, and people. However, if it is a war with a time span of hundreds of years, it is completely a battle between the two sides and a head-on battle without any fancy. Even if there are ten Li Yao and ten Ding Linglings, it is not enough to change the result of this war.

Therefore, if the Federation wants to march into the center of the Star Sea, it is unlikely that it will be able to break into the sky for at least a few hundred years. It is more likely that it will send some elite troops to infiltrate the empire, grasp the contradiction between the so-called "original man" and "real man", find ways to disintegrate the empire from within, at least to transform the empire at some level!

When Li Yao launched the "Black Hole Plan" more than a hundred years ago, he proposed this idea. After the planning and deduction of countless strategic experts, he has enriched it to this point today.

Unexpectedly, Di Feiwen pointed directly at the core, hitting the nail on the head, which made Li Yao feel that "heroes see each other" and looked at the "merchant general" of this deer-headed rat with a little higher view.

"If the federal side, or President Li himself, is really willing to internalize, transform or even subvert the empire, then our Black Wind Fleet will undoubtedly become your most important help."
