The situation in the upper echelons of the Shi'ar Empire is the most complicated among the three empires. In terms of military power alone, the Queen does not hold all military power. She can mobilize about one-third of the Shi'ar Empire's troops and guards, and the nobles can mobilize
The other two thirds.
Looking at it this way, the queen is at a disadvantage, but in fact, the queen's personal guards are all composed of the Mengyu tribe. Their personal strength is very strong. There is no army on the entire capital planet that can defeat them, and they will only be loyal to them.
The Queen, so the Queen's status is relatively stable.
But this does not mean that the nobles have no power, because they can mobilize enough troops, and the security and defense tasks of most of the empire fall on them, so their control over the region is naturally very strong.
Moreover, these troops are no longer bound to them. There are a lot of losers in the army, and the various military factions are not so harmonious. They all have their own interests and needs, and they cannot be adjusted easily.
Among them, the most important thing for the nobles is the private soldiers of each family. This part of the army is actually very small. A family may only have one or two main battleships. They are mainly used to resolve family business and cultural disputes in some places, and also serve as ceremonial guards.
use.
These private fleets are maintained by nobles at great expense. The warships manufactured by the Shi'ar Empire are not assembly line products. They need to go through many enchanting rituals to adapt to the needs of this race. This is compared with Asgard's warships.
picture.
This means that the manufacturing process of battleships is longer, requires more investment, and subsequent maintenance will be more troublesome. However, it also means that a single battleship is more powerful, and one or two ships can fully take charge of it alone.
Therefore, the noble families of the Shi'ar Empire basically do not keep too many warships. Having one is already considered a quite prestigious noble family.
Mystique was not idle during the time she became the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire. In addition to going to the palace to fight politics all day long, she also placed mutants with the ability to shape-shift in various places, among which large groups of personalities accounted for the majority.
.
The number of main ethnic groups in the Shi'ar Empire is too small. It is normal to have foreigners. The army is basically composed of foreigners that they have integrated with them. There are a few weird ones that are not eye-catching.
The five fleets that Rakshasa mentioned that could be mobilized were actually five privately owned warships of nobles that were stolen using the manpower deployed there, and they were privately owned by the top ten noble families on the capital star.
There is never any retreat from the struggle for power.
Once all five starships are destroyed at the same time, the defenses of these five families will inevitably be empty, and the queen can immediately take advantage of the void and eliminate all the remaining defense forces of these five families.
And once all the resources of these five families fall into the hands of the queen, other nobles may not dare to take action because the queen's strength has been strengthened, and the unlucky one is not her own family.
Well.
And with so many resources, the queen can not only turn over immediately and achieve complete centralization of power, but she can at least gather some power to make her position more stable.
The nobles did not want to see such a thing happen.
Although this incident did not completely touch the bottom line of the nobility, and the Queen stopped at it and did not pursue the victory, but if this continues, the demise of the nobility is imminent.
So they must find ways to weaken the queen's power.
They can fight head-on, but the problem is that if they fight head-on, it will be a fight to the death. Either the queen will destroy them all, or they will overthrow the queen.
It is not impossible for all the nobles to join forces to overthrow the queen, but after overthrowing the queen, who will be the next king?
This is not a negotiable issue. In the end, the one with the big fist must sit in that position. But if all the power is spent on overthrowing the queen, how will his family compete for the throne in the future?
Therefore, in the process of overthrowing the queen, the vast majority of families must have failed to work hard and will not succeed at all. In the end, they may be killed to pieces by the queen.
The nobles know this truth, so they will not adopt this method. They hope to achieve the purpose of weakening the queen without spending a single soldier of their own.
The truth is only within the range of the cannon. There is no military power, no army, and power is just empty talk. To weaken the queen, it is necessary to weaken the troops controlled by the queen.
But you can't go directly to the queen and say, hand over the military power. Even Lilandra before would not agree, and now it is even more difficult.
The best way is actually to weaken the army itself and ask the Queen to mobilize the troops in her hands. To do this, a war must be launched.
In fact, even so, their target may not choose the New Skrull Empire. It would be very unwise to start a head-on war with one of the three empires. There is no blood feud between these two countries, so there is no chance of a tragic war.
Great war.
But any contradiction can be gradually intensified. The most important point at the beginning is the product of the life fusion plan that can directly destroy an entire galaxy.
The New Skrull Empire has obtained this product, who is the most anxious?
The Shi'ar Empire and the Skrull Empire don't have such a big hatred, but the Kree Empire does not. The thousand-year war between the two parties has caused them to forge irreconcilable grudges.
Now that the New Skrull Empire has such a big killer, where are they most likely to dump it?
The Kree Empire must think about this issue. They will definitely feel nervous because of this issue. Even one of the three major empires cannot bear the loss of an entire prosperous galaxy.
What are they going to do at this time?
Some people may think that if the other side has nuclear bombs but we don't, then we have to strike first. But in fact, this is the stupidest way. The best way is to create a new enemy for the other side.
Although we have old grudges, the grudges in the past are nothing compared to the pressure we are facing now. Whether to use a nuclear bomb to avenge the past thousands of years ago or to resolve the current disadvantages of war, I believe no one will make the wrong choice.
Therefore, the Kree Empire will definitely support the fight between the Shi'ar Empire and the New Skrull Empire. In this case, the New Skrull Empire will have a greater chance of dropping the nuclear bomb on the head of the Shi'ar Empire instead of its own.
On the head.
The three major empires are all infiltrated into each other. Among them, the Shi'ar Empire is the most infiltrated because their system is too traditional, the ruling class's control over the people at the bottom is too weak, and the races are very mixed. If you want to infiltrate, don't do it.
Too simple.
Once the Kree Empire is behind it and the nobles are eager to weaken the Queen's strength, they will definitely take action against the New Skrull Empire.
The starting point is ready-made. The New Skrull Empire destroyed five battleships. Is there any reason not to start a war?
What the mutants have to do now is actually to find a way to destroy these five ships at once, so that no one will find out that they did it, and at the same time, let the Shi'ar Empire and the Kree Empire think that the New Skrull Empire has already
Obtained the product of the Life Fusion Project.
It's easy to say, but a little difficult to do. Those are five main starships, and they have the ability to jump. If you can't defeat them, you can still run away. The emergency jump is a matter of seconds, and even Magneto may not be able to stop them.
Once they get away, the plan will be completely ruined.
Professor X and Magneto are confident in their own strength, but they do need insurance measures. After thinking about it, Professor
There are other options.”
Magneto looked at him and said, "You mean Spear Bureau?"
He shook his head and continued: "The mutants over there have never wanted to see us, and they may not be willing to help."
"What if you gave them a starship?"
"What?"
"The starship does not have to be completely destroyed. It should be okay to retain some core components, right?" Professor
What have you been doing?"
"Their progress is much faster than we imagined." Magneto sighed, and he said: "If we can also work as one..."
"Okay, don't talk about this. I'm going to talk to the Director of the Divine Spear Bureau." Professor X stood up and left the office.
After a while, he came back and said: "The other side agreed. They requested that the starship's jump device must be retained. It seems that they have encountered a technical threshold in this regard."
"I don't think so. Those Easterners are always very cunning and will not reveal their true intentions to you."
"As long as they agree, the jump device is not important to us. It is estimated that it will take hundreds of years for the Andromeda Galaxy to have an industrial chain that can independently produce spacecraft."
"There's no rush, we still have a lot of time." Magneto meant that once the two empires were at war, no one would bother them.
"Indeed, the two of us have more time." Professor X smiled at Magneto, and Magneto turned his head away, damn blue eyes.
"Apocalypse is an unstable factor." Magneto said again: "Once he plans to cause trouble for us, variables may arise."
"Nathaniel doesn't know where Apocalypse is now. That guy is well hidden." Professor
Magneto looked at him and Professor
"you mean……"
"In order to make sure that the poisoning is really successful, Apocalypse will definitely find a way to get close to the Andromeda Galaxy 24 hours after the poisoning to observe the situation here. That will be a good opportunity to catch him."
"You still can't detect his brainwaves?"
"He took the initiative to connect to my brain waves before, but at that time I was worried that he had other plots, so I didn't launch an attack on him. If he takes the initiative to connect to my brain waves again, I am sure to severely damage him."
"But he can't be that stupid, can he?" Magneto said.
"You think too highly of him. As I said, he is a person whose ambition is written on his face. He is too superficial and it is really difficult for him to achieve great things. Otherwise, why would the two of us become mutant leaders, but he would do it every day?
Hiding in Egypt and sleeping? Do you think he doesn’t want to rule the mutants?”
"Do you think he will..."
"When the time comes, find two people to pretend to be out of control and make a bigger noise. Once he finds out that his plan is successful, he will most likely be able to access my brainwaves again."
"for what?"
"Of course it is to ridicule me." Professor
He can do things well, and then he threatens me severely, thinking that I will do a good job for him out of fear."
"Hmph." Magneto snorted and uttered one word, "It's beyond stupid."
