Sixty-seven, the days are sad (1)

Tianhu Tiehai felt a pain in his head, he hadn't tasted a head pain for a long time, but now, his head was aching faintly every day. But this kind of dull pain is definitely not a disease, but because there are too many things to think about every day, caused by excessive mental exertion, this pain can not be treated by any medicine, if there is one treatment, there is only one: sleep. A very comfortable night's sleep, as long as you can sleep for a day or two and let your brain get enough rest, it will be fine.

The question is, does he have time to rest? If he had, his head wouldn't hurt. The reason why he had a headache was because he couldn't see clearly what the Yanhuang clan guys were thinking and doing?

The environment in the country is getting worse day by day. Since the defeat of the Battle of Storm Fortress, although the Yanhuang tribe was also disabled, so that the Yanhuang tribe was unable to launch a large-scale attack in a short period of time and achieved the strategic goal, his 3,600 front army groups were also completely disabled, resulting in a serious shortage of troops in his hands, and he had to transfer troops from the rear to build a defense line in the four major theaters. As a result, the domestic army is also insufficient, giving the Four Kingdoms a chance to grow and develop.

The Masters of Fate said, "A butterfly flapping its wings can cause a great storm in the space of the distant future." This sentence may be an exaggeration, but many things do affect the whole body, and one thing will lead to countless consequences, which is the most headache.

The Battle of Stormstorm was lost, of course. Tianhu Tiehai did not admit that he had failed. In his propaganda. He also didn't admit that he was defeated, but he didn't admit victory either, just that it was a draw. Because, those false lies have no meaning to those upper-class nobles of the empire, and the losses of the three thousand six hundred front army groups cannot be concealed from those who have a heart, and it is better to admit it directly than to lie to make the upper echelons of the empire more panicked, so. The news had already spread throughout the empire in the shortest possible time.

Commoners have no right to decide, no matter what a country wants to do or what the decision is, the commoners have no right to make decisions, and it is the officials and nobles who can really make decisions. In the face of an unprecedented fiasco, nothing has happened to the civilians of the empire, but the fear of the Yanhuang clan has deepened in their hearts, and life still has to go on, but. For the aristocracy, it was time for a choice. Take sides. It is something that many people are unwilling to do, but they have no right to choose, they can only choose one of the two strong ones as their allegiance, if they choose the wrong one, the consequence is to wipe out the clan, and there is no second possibility.

All the nobles knew that in this war for the purpose of extermination, there would be no wall grass, and the most common result of making wall grass was to be pulled out as a weed. Because, they either choose to continue to be loyal to the Heavenly Tiger Empire, or they choose to surrender to the Yanhuang Clan, and say goodbye to their own race, which is simply called betrayal.

It's not a good choice, both emotionally and in terms of interests, it's very difficult to choose, but, no matter how difficult it is, you have to choose, because there is not much time left for them, or there are still a thousand or two thousand years left, but time flies quickly. And I believe that the Yanhuang clan will not accept those who make a choice after the result has been determined. When the overall situation of victory or defeat has been decided, even if you want to surrender to the Yanhuang clan, it depends on whether others want you to surrender, therefore, if you want to stand in line, you have to take advantage of it, and if it is late, you will not have the right to choose.

Perhaps there are still many people in the Heavenly Tiger Empire who are only intoxicated with the illusion of the invincibility of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, but for those nobles who have great power and power, the final result of the battle between the Heavenly Tiger Empire and the Yanhuang Clan has been predestined early on, and this group of people is the most shrewd people, just like the wrath of the Divine Tiger. But even the second-level people, after the battle of Storm Fortress, have already become enlightened, and those who are not enlightened until now, then they have not made a choice, because they are destined to be the victims of this Heavenly Tiger Empire catastrophe.

Surrender is the choice of many elites. However, it does not mean that there is only one way to surrender in the Heavenly Tiger Empire. As Gao Shan Yuanyue guessed, the Heavenly Tiger Empire could not defeat the Yanhuang Clan, so it could just leave, give up the foundation that had been operating for millions of years, leave the Yanhuang River system, and get as far away from the Yanhuang Clan as possible. I believe that there are still not many races like the Yanhuang Clan in the universe, and the strength of the Heavenly Tiger Empire is still the top among the hundreds of millions of races in the universe. At the same time, after the Tianhu Empire evacuated the Yanhe Yellow River system, the Yanhuang clan should not go to the Yellow Springs to chase and kill. The Yanhuang clan shouted out that they wanted to destroy the Tianhu Clan, but after the Tianhu Empire withdrew, if the Yanhuang Clan wanted to unify the Yanhe Yellow River system, it would take at least hundreds of years, hundreds of years, enough for the Tianhu Clan to go far, at least billions of light-years away, or even farther, so that the Yanhuang Clan couldn't catch up if they wanted to.

It's just that the problem is out, the Heavenly Tiger Empire is evacuated, it is absolutely impossible for all people to evacuate, it is good to be able to evacuate one-fifth of the people, and even, whether or not one-tenth of the people are evacuated is still unknown, and for the sake of safety, the biggest possibility is that it is only possible to evacuate a group of elites, and most of the people will be abandoned, so if you want to evacuate with the royal family, this number is not very many. Those who choose to evacuate with the royal family must be the confidants of the royal family, loyal people and top talents, ordinary people, do they have that qualification?

Therefore, for the elite of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, there are only two results, either surrender or choose to evacuate with the royal family, and the third option is to choose to fight to the death with the Yanhuang clan, and the result is needless to say. If you are not loyal enough to the royal family, if you want to choose the royal family, you are afraid that it will not be possible, for the sake of your life, it is better to surrender. There are many people who think like this.

In terms of personal and racial sentiments and the future path of development, surrender is not as good as evacuation, this one is certain. Any race. They don't pay much attention to those who surrender. Unless it is after countless years and dozens of generations of loyalty, this will gain the trust of the new master, and if you want to be reused after surrender and gain great power, you really don't have to think about it, it is impossible. This kind of surrender between different races is no better than the surrender of internal strife between the same race, so. Even if the earliest surrenderers of the Four Kingdoms wanted to gain the complete trust of the Yanhuang Clan and obtain the greatest benefits, it was impossible to think about it for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Moreover, the emotional torture of betraying one's own race and country is an unbearable torture for every person with a clear conscience, and it will remind you every day: "You are a traitor, you are a person who has betrayed your race and country, you are just a traitor, a spineless person." A man who is greedy for life and afraid of death. "This kind of torture is enough to make people crazy.

Anyone who can go with the royal family chooses to show loyalty to the royal family. But if you don't have the ability to go with the royal family, you can only choose to surrender. It's a no-brainer. Of course, at this stage, the Yanhuang clan does not have the ability to swallow the Heavenly Tiger Empire in one bite, and the royal family still retains most of the control of the empire, even if it is to surrender, it has to choose a good time to raise troops rashly, which is just to send it to death.

For this kind of grasp of people's hearts, many elites of the Tianhu Empire understand, why don't the Yanhuang clan not understand it? For a large number of people who want to surrender, the Yanhuang clan of course has a welcoming attitude, even if the strategic environment has changed now, there is no need to start a full-scale war with the Shenguang Clan, but the battlefield of the river system also contains most of the main forces of the Yanhuang Clan, so it is naturally the most ideal thing for someone to surrender as cannon fodder.

As for the use of those who surrendered, if it was just to order them to rebel and create chaos within the territory of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, then the Yanhuang Clan would not be terrible at all. If you want to shake the foundation of a country, there is not only one way to rebel, or it can be said that rebellion is only the way to rebel when there is no choice, and if there are other options, rebellion is definitely not the best choice.

To put it simply, the rebellion is in the open, if you rebel, then everything is clear, people still have an absolute military advantage, send troops to surround it, you can't do anything, so for the huge Heavenly Tiger Empire, the turmoil caused is really insignificant. At the same time, if the various nobles and big families did not unite and rebelled under the circumstances of insufficient military strength and insufficient intelligence, the Heavenly Tiger Empire would definitely be wiped out. The strength of the army groups of thousands of fronts is not the ears of the deaf, but is used for decoration.

A merchant who secretly surrendered to the Yanhuang clan provided the empire with a batch of parts for warships, but these parts did not meet the standards of the empire and could not be used originally, but this businessman was able to use these parts for the empire's warships through various bribery methods. This batch of battleships does not seem to have any problems, but once it is used in the war, there is no problem in fighting for a month or two, and if it takes a little longer, this batch of parts will be finished, and once such a thing happens on the battlefield, the consequences for an army will be catastrophic, and it is possible that the entire fleet will be wiped out.

If the empire wants to prepare materials for battle, it is natural to prepare through merchants, but those merchants who have secretly surrendered, they can prepare the materials in three days, but they can be delayed until ten days after all kinds of methods, and those that can be completed in ten days can be delayed until a month later.

Sometimes the more the country fights, the poorer it becomes, but the country's wealth will fall into the hands of these businessmen who make it difficult to make money. What to accumulate and resell, what to buy and sell, bribe government officials, buy military materials from them, obtain huge profits, etc., these are the usual methods used by nobles and merchants, these people should be killed one by one, but they are in a group, their power is extremely large, once one of them is moved, it will be fully counterattacked by this group, even the highest level of the empire, for this group can only be open and closed, without too much words will not be easy to do. If those people are instructed by the Yanhuang clan to go a little more excessively, I believe that the Heavenly Tiger Empire will not have much to do, and in this way, the cost of the war of the Heavenly Tiger Empire will be at least more than doubled, and I believe that it will not be long before the economy of the Heavenly Tiger Empire will collapse.
