Chapter 624
Military headquarters, command room.

Veigar sat on the main seat, quietly listening to the new information brought by the adjutant.

"Report Your Highness, everything is as expected."

The adjutant took the battle report and said happily: "According to the latest information we have received, the internal turmoil of the empire has begun to appear, and waves of rebels have risen in various parts of the country to resist the rule of the three powers. Although countless rebel organizations have been wiped out , but there are also countless new organizations emerging every day, and the empire is beginning to be exhausted."

"We have obtained a piece of top-secret intelligence from the empire."

The adjutant continued excitedly: "They have canceled the spring campaign against the north, and instead focused on suppressing the domestic rebellion."

"Hmph, this is the empire's own fault."

Veigar's eyes flashed gloating: "People, you will not repent until the last moment. The three powers think that they can subdue everything with their force, but unfortunately they underestimate the power of civilians too much. The dike of a thousand miles has always collapsed in an ant's nest. "

For the decision of the three powers, Vega scoffed.

The reason is simple, blocking is worse than sparse.

If he were the ruler of the empire, it would be absolutely impossible for him to use force to control the situation. Instead, he would give up his dignity and sincerely apologize in front of the subjects of the whole country, trying to calm the anger of the common people.If it is not enough to achieve this level, then take the blame and resign and give up the position of the three powers, so that the common people will have nothing to say, right?

Vega believes that civilians are like cattle and sheep in captivity, and they are very easy to be deceived.

While resigning, just train a puppet to sit in that position, which can calm the anger of the subjects and control the domestic situation without any impact on one's own status and interests.

The commoners will also think they have won.

Wait for the heat to pass.

Then let this puppet do a series of things that violate the fundamental interests of the common people, such as triple taxation, etc. At this time, the common people will recall the good life they once had.So under the voice of the common people, he was reserved, and he was able to come to power again, and went from behind the scenes to the front of the stage again.

The first thing to do when you come to power is to restore the policy to its original state.

How will the subjects react at that time?

He must have started to sing praises again. If anyone dares to launch an uprising, they will definitely not need the army to do it. The civilians will be able to wipe out these insurgents. The reason is very simple——

"Uprising? Are you trying to destroy the good life we ​​have finally recovered!"

such a pity.

After all, the empire did not have the foresight of Veigar. After all, Veigar stood on the shoulders of giants. The empire still couldn't understand the importance of public opinion, and insisted that force was above all else. With the remaining 600 million troops in hand, it could suppress the whole country.

So as an enemy, Veigar is in favor of the Empire's decision.

"Is there anything else to report about the Empire?"

"There is one other thing."

The adjutant hurriedly continued to report: "Among these large and small organizations like stars, one force has grown infinitely in just one month, and now it has occupied three secondary strategic cities and seven small cities. The number one enemy is also regarded as the leader by many uprising organizations, and organizations from all over the world echo him."

"If the empire is destroyed one day, it must be the credit of this organization."

Veigar gave this organization a high degree of affirmation.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and this organization has achieved a record that other organizations cannot achieve, then other organizations will inevitably regard this organization as a leader and follow the sound, which is a principle of herd effect.

Originally, a group of sheep fought on their own, without even a goal.

Now that the flock of sheep has a leader, they can concentrate their strength in one place and unleash a blow that even the empire has to pay attention to.If the empire has not realized the importance of public opinion and continues to use force to suppress it, then this blow will be turned into two or three strikes... until the galaxy warship of the empire is completely sunk.

"Who is the leader of this organization?"

Veigar became curious and couldn't help asking.

"It's a man named 'Coverdale.'"

The adjutant looked at the information in his hand and wrote it out according to the script: "According to the personal history we collected, he was originally a captain and company commander on the War City front. Another two soldiers of our army pointed out according to the photos that they were once stuck in the enemy's underground headquarters. I saw him in General Fuyin's office, but he escaped through the tunnel because he failed to stop him in time."

"Only in troubled times can heroes be created."

Veigar sighed sincerely, no matter which method he uses, being able to safely escape back to the central region from his army of more than one million in his hands, and to pull up such a large uprising organization in less than a month is enough to show that the company commander Ability.

"In the imperial army, it really is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Veigar looked at the map of the empire and said: "A small company commander can actually do this, which is enough to show how many potential talents the empire has cultivated through the military academy system over the years. It's a pity that the empire doesn't know how to know people and make good use of them. Send heaven."

Just when Veigar sighed.

Seeing that Vega had no other reaction, the adjutant said in a puzzled way: "Please forgive me for taking the liberty, wouldn't your Highness do something while taking advantage of the civil strife in the empire? In my humble opinion, the empire is busy suppressing the civil strife at this time. When the empire launches an offensive, it will definitely achieve quite impressive results, and this must be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Veigar looked at the adjutant, then shook his head.

"You are wrong, now the best policy is to stay still."

"Please forgive me for being stupid."

The adjutant looked at Veigar suspiciously, hoping for an answer.

"Do you know what is the way to unite a group of people?"

"Excellent leader?"

"Someone once gave me the same answer as you, but unfortunately not."

Vega looked at the map with deep eyes and said: "The way to unite a group of people is not a good leader, but a common enemy. Now if I invade the empire, I will become that 'common enemy'. Do you understand it?"

"Are you saying that the Empire may be united with a rebel group?"

"It's not a possibility, but a certainty!"

Veigar said firmly: "Once they are united and the empire performs better than the rebel organization in the war, then the empire will regain the lost hearts of the people. In the end, no matter whether the empire wins or loses, as long as they perform better than the rebels , then the empire will become the biggest winner in this war, as long as the people's hearts are won back, the lost territory will be regained sooner or later."

"Your Highness is wise."

The adjutant trembled in his heart, realizing how wrong his judgment was.

If you really launch a war against the empire at this time, no matter how much territory you get, you may make a small profit in the end, but from a long-term perspective, the empire will definitely not lose money.

"Then may I ask Your Highness, can we just wait for the end of the imperial civil war?"

"On the contrary."

Vega gave a negative answer: "Although this is not the time to use force against the empire, it does not mean that we have nothing to do. There is a saying in my hometown that it is better to chase the poor with the leftovers. It's been a while."
