Chapter 791: The Plan for a Rear Base
Chapter 791: The Plan for a Rear Base
Su Yu suddenly interjected, "If the bloodline isn't the issue, could it be the Skrulls causing trouble?"
"Skrulls?" Zhong Feng, Zhong Feng, and Chen Xing were taken aback, falling into deep thought.
Su Yu nodded, "Right, the Skrulls benefit from the dragon population not expanding. After all, to the west of Dragon Island is the Sun Empire. If the dragons want to expand their territory, they will inevitably clash with the Sun Empire."
Su Yu thought about his point further and added, "Moreover, the fewer dragons there are, the more the Sun Empire can bind them to their cause. The more difficult it is for dragons to reproduce, the more precious each dragon offspring becomes, and the more they can't afford to lose them. Since they can't afford to lose them, they will choose to form contracts with the Sun Empire, using the Sun Empire's resources to reduce the risk of infant mortality. Add to that the fact that dragons have never been particularly strong, and they end up being like 'livestock' kept by the Sun Empire."
Chen Xing interjected, "Like the animals in your Blue Star zoos?"
"Exactly," Su Yu smiled.
After hearing Su Yu, Zhang Zhengwei was the first to agree, "Now that you mention it, the Sun Empire does have a motive."
Xue Wenli frowned, "If it's really the Sun Empire behind this, wouldn't the dragons have noticed something?"
Su Yu chuckled, "Maybe they haven't noticed at all. The dragons might have become accustomed to low birth rates and even created a rational explanation for it—like how they are a high-level species, and high-level species should have very difficult reproduction processes."
Su Yu was halfway through his explanation when Zhong Feng interrupted, "You guessed right; there is indeed a similar theory! When I first entered Dragon Island, I attended a 'pre-school' class, and in the dragons' textbooks, I found such a claim!"
Su Yu nodded and continued, "We only know the dragons' reproduction should not be this poor because we can compare. The dragons on Dragon Island can't make such comparisons, so they have become accustomed to low birth rates. Since they are used to it, they won't invest much effort into researching it, and thus won't uncover the Sun Empire's plot."
"Sounds logical," Zhang Zhengwei agreed. "But unfortunately, we are just speculating, and we have no evidence."
"Exactly because we have no evidence, we need to find it!" Su Yu's expression grew serious.
He looked at Zhong Feng, "Zhong Feng, our next mission to Skrull Star is to find the true reason for the dragons' low birth rates. If it has nothing to do with the Skrulls, the dragons will thank us. If it does involve the Skrulls, well, that could make things very interesting!"
Xue Wenli's eyes lit up, "Yes! If it involves them, we can sow discord between the Skrulls and the dragons. If the dragons and Skrulls completely break ties, it will be a great benefit for us humans!"
"Exactly," Su Yu smiled. "And we can go further. We can formulate a more ambitious plan!"
...
...
40 minutes later, in the office of Hu Jing, the Speaker of the Blue Star United Government.
Hu Jing sat in his leather chair, facing the 3D projection of Skrull Star. Su Yu, Zhong Feng, Xue Wenli, Chen Xing, and Zhang Zhengwei stood on the side of the projection, also observing it.
In the past 20 minutes, Zhang Zhengwei had recounted Zhong Feng's experiences on Skrull Star and their recent discussion in the basement.
Hu Jing, the Speaker, was well aware of the key issue Su Yu and his team had discussed—the dragons' reproduction problem.
After the briefing, Su Yu stepped forward to detail his entire plan.
Su Yu approached Hu Jing, the Speaker, and said, "Speaker Hu, I suggest we begin preparing to implement the 'Rear Enemy Base Plan' immediately. This should be one of our main strategic plans for the next six months."
Hu Jing remained calm and composed. "Please, go on."
"The reason it's called the 'Rear Enemy Base Plan' is because I believe we should establish numerous rear bases on Skrull. By doing so, we can undermine G2's control and build resistance from within."
As he spoke, Su Yu used his magic to draw four circles on the map.
The first circle was in the country of Beck, west of the Lankte Alliance.
The second circle was in the Makaton Kingdom, south of the Sun Empire.
The third circle was on Dragon Island, east of the Sun Empire.
The fourth circle was in the Wild Continent, north of G2.
These four circles formed a tight encirclement, trapping G2 in the center.
Su Yu pointed to the map and explained methodically, "In the past, we never dared to dream of cultivating resistance against G2 on Skrull, because our only ally was Cindy Doppler, and it was difficult to provide her with more support. But now, the situation has changed!"
Su Yu pointed to each circle in turn. "Beck is already on our side, and there's no need to elaborate on that.
Makaton Kingdom is completely under the control of Elder Zhu.
As for Dragon Island, if we can confirm that the low reproduction rate of the dragon race was orchestrated by the Skrulls, they will surely break ties with them.
By using these locations as bases, we can strengthen the resistance against G2, which will be a significant advantage in the final battle!"
Hu Jing looked at the four circles and asked seriously, "I understand the first three, but what do you mean by the fourth circle in the Wild Continent? Are you suggesting we incite the magical beasts there to fight against the Skrulls? They may not necessarily side with us."
Su Yu shook his head. "This circle doesn't represent all the magical beasts on the Wild Continent, but rather the largest clan there—the White-Headed Eagles."
"White-Headed Eagles..."
Hu Jing quickly grasped Su Yu's meaning, and Zhong Feng and Zhang Zhengwei also showed understanding.
"The White-Headed Eagles are enemies of the Skrulls, with a strength comparable to the dragons," Su Yu explained, though everyone already knew this. "In the past, the leader of the White-Headed Eagles was forced into several collaborations with the Skrulls, such as the last time they surrounded Chancellor Cao. However, the White-Headed Eagles have an intense hatred for the Skrulls, a deep-seated enmity that goes to the bone.
As the saying goes, 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' Next time, we can send Elder Cao to Skrull to formally contact this 'friend.'"
With that, Su Yu concluded his explanation. "Speaker Hu, that's all I have to say. What do you think of this plan?"
Hu Jing didn't hesitate. "I agree with your plan and will allocate the necessary resources to you. Su Yu, if you need anything, just ask!"
The Blue Star United Government operates under a parliamentary system, and any major decisions must be discussed and approved in the parliament. However, as the Speaker, Hu Jing had significant authority, and given the sensitive nature of Su Yu's plan, he decided to approve it directly.
