However, although the ancient saints thought so, they lacked enough theoretical level to express their opinions and interests clearly - after all, they jumped directly from the "feudal era" to the information society with extremely developed productivity. Just a few years ago, they were still fighting for the feudal royal power on a continent. Now they have to make decisions on the treacherous and unpredictable star sea hegemony, which is too difficult for people to do.

They, including the "New Four Realms" strong men who agreed to send troops like them, turned their attention to the same person - the former deputy commander of the Black Wind Fleet, and the current "Skeleton Dragon - Chairman of the Zhiyuan Star Development Committee", Di Feiwen.

If there are only one of the strong people here who sincerely wants to help the empire at all costs, then it is undoubtedly Di Feiwen, the cultivator of the original empire.

No, the word "original" is a bit redundant. Until this moment, Di Feiwen did not give up his identity as an imperialist and an immortal cultivator, and still retained a very ambiguous "dual nationality".

Di Feiwen's experience and his current status deeply reflect the ups and downs and unpredictability of fate.

More than a hundred years ago, he was just an ordinary deacon of the Wanjie Business Alliance - the Wanjie Business Alliance at that time was just an ordinary business alliance in the border world of the empire. It was just a loose society where countless small merchants shivered under the claws of imperial power and nobles, gathering together to keep warm.

He just relied on his bloodline from the Black Wind Realm, first became a contact person between the Black Wind Realm and the Wanjie Business Alliance, and gradually controlled the manager of the Wanjie Business Alliance who transported resources to the Black Wind Fleet. Finally, he transformed into the deputy commander of the Black Wind Fleet.

But he, the deputy commander, was really not the time - it was when the Black Wind Defense Line was beaten to pieces by the Holy Alliance, and a large number of starships in the Five Realms of Black Wind fled in panic, and the situation was corrupted to despair.

If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be his little businessman and logistics officer, who was a little businessman and a logistician who knew nothing about fleet command and the battle for hegemony in the sea, and became the deputy commander of the stragglers.

When the Black Wind Fleet was carrying a lot of resources and rushed towards - or "escape" to the border of Xinghai, no one was optimistic about the future of this fleet, and of course no one was optimistic about Di Feiwen's own future.

The unruly "King of Black Wind" Hei Yeming would never be willing to be manipulated by anyone. Even the Emperor Shenwu at that time could not even order him, let alone the Wanjie Shang Alliance and Di Feiwen.

At most, Di Feiwen was holding the Hei Yeming and the Hei Ye family in their palms. A loyal God of Wealth, including Di Feiwen himself, also believed so.

He only needs to coordinate the management of the entire fleet's resources. As for specific strategies and tactics, it is not his turn to interrupt. Of course, he does not have too many private soldiers and can plunder greater power.

After the Black Wind Fleet broke into blood in front of the Starry Federation and was almost wiped out, Di Feiwen's fate fell to the bottom, and was about to die among the dark stars, without a burial place.

At this moment, fate played a huge, almost ridiculous joke with him.

The dark night-bright - including all the most fanatical militarists and militants in the Black Wind Fleet were dead, and the remaining defeated generals scattered between the starry sea, lost all their will to fight, and were all in a situation where they were in a state of being unruly and holding on to the straw of life. Even Di Feiwen, the God of Wealth, who had never had much prestige, could easily gather and command them.

The Starry Federation did not have such a big appetite. It ate the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet in one fell swoop and had to give him the power to "battlefield uprising", ushering in a relatively decent peace, and a planet with rich resources - the original Skeleton Dragon Star, and now the Zhiyuan Star, has become a base for them to recuperate and recover their vitality.

This is the beginning of Di Feiwen's good luck, but it is far from the end of his reaching the sky in one step.

According to general logic, Di Feiwen's actions completely betrayed the empire. Even though he, a "defeated general" can control the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet, lived in the Federation, gradually integrated into the Federation, and became a senior general in the Federation, but in the real human empire, he was an unforgivable traitor, and wanted to be nailed to a pillar of shame, peeled and cramped, and cut into pieces.

But that was the logic under the control of the old empire-the four electoral emperors.

The "new empire" ruled by the reformists obviously has different views.

In order to consolidate its power, the reformists had to find powerful allies from all over the Star Sea. Even authentic cultivators could cooperate, and even the identity of "Vulture Li Yao" and the heart of Taoism could be ignored. They formally granted him the title of "Black Wind King". How could they care about the past of Di Feiwen and the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet?

In fact, as the only middleman between the Empire and the Federation, Di Feiwen and the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet became more and more important, and their status grew day by day.

The officials of the New Empire and the New Federation intentionally or unintentionally ignored the slightly awkward identity of Di Feiwen and the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet. The new Emperor, the little lion who had just ascended the throne and was facing the collapse of the sky and earth and urgently needed foreign aid, even seriously awarded the title of "second-class marquis" of the Di Feiwen Empire, praising the "loyalty" and "martial courage" of this former small vendor.

Second-class marquis, second-class marquis of the real human empire!

A hundred years ago, countless powerful people from the four major electoral emperors suffered for a lifetime, and countless intrigues and fight to the death, and never expected to get the title of second-class marquis.

Even during the special period when the Empire's counterattack and the titles were distributed in batches like hats, if you want to wear the Sun and Moon Sword Medal representing the second-class marquis on your chest, you still need real military achievements and cast them with tons of iron and blood!

If all the second-class marquis of the Empire in the past three or five hundred years knew that Di Feiwen only led the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet and was happy on the Skeleton Dragon Star, and he would have fallen into the sky with a high hat of "The Second-class marquis of the Empire" and would definitely be so angry that he would crawl out of the coffin. Even if it was burned to ashes, the ashes would have condensed again and were furious.

However, because he knew that his identity was very subtle and his position was quite embarrassing, Di Feiwen became more and more low-key after obtaining the title of second-class marquis of the Empire, and also showed more and more "loyalty" to the Federation. In several remote negotiations between the Federation and the Empire, he stood firmly on the side of the Federation, slashed the empire's negotiators several times, helping the Federation to squeeze out a large number of precious technology from the Empire.

Di Feiwen knew very well that his fortune and life and wealth of the Black Wind Remnants were in the Federation, not the Empire.

The stronger the federation, the more important they are to the empire, and the higher their value.

If the Empire helps the Empire deal with the Federation, or even completely destroys the Federation, then when the Empire holds them accountable for these "shameless rebellions", the second-class marquis will be the result of the human head.

Di Feiwen put his position very right. A sensitive topic such as "Expedition to the Central Sea of ​​Stars" is not something he can easily interfere with by a surrendered general with a dual identity.

Therefore, at the beginning of the meeting, Di Feiwen sat upright, looking at his nose and nose, looking at his mouth, looking at his old monk's in meditation, and his mouth seemed to have a zipper on his mouth, making up his mind to remain silent to the end.

Even the ancient saint powerful Han Baling turned a blind eye to him.

Speaking of which, Di Feiwen and the ancient saints, especially the king "Han Baling" from the Gui Qin Grassland, have a very good relationship.

Most of the ancient sages were not pure cultivators, especially Han Baling, an ambitious "classical militarist", who had a strong interest in the empire's path to cultivating immortals, which was far better than the seemingly warm cultivation system of the Federation.

In order to cure the chronic diseases such as famine, plague and other diseases caused by the population explosion in the ancient sage world, and to develop the Bones Dragon Star on a large scale, the Federation transported a large number of immigrants from the ancient sage world to live, which gave Di Feiwen and Han Baling a very close opportunity to work and contact.

Han Baling, Yan Liren, and Master Kuchan are different. He is very ambitious in politics and has a keen insight into the current close relationship between the Federation and the Empire. He also knows why Di Feiwen has risen to the top. In addition, the two are indeed in a similar atmosphere. In just a few years, they form a close friendship and a political alliance.

Now, the ancient saint strongman is eager for a brilliant war to further improve his position in the Federation, but there is no clear reason to refute the many questions raised by Bai Kaixin, and naturally put his hopes on Di Feiwen.

Di Feiwen may not have the intention of making friends with several new world powers such as the Ancient Saint Realm to check and balance the "old federal system" and gain stronger independence and a brighter future for the Black Wind Remnants.

But at this moment, in full view of everyone, this thought was even more inconvenient to be exposed directly.

It was not until the Speaker of the Federal Republic of China, Ding Lingling, shot his blade-like gaze on him that a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth until he could not escape anyway.

"General Di, the Empire is your hometown. If the Federation really sends troops to the Central Sea, you will inevitably play an important role, including the coordinated cooperation between the Federal Army and the Imperial Army, the security issues of the Federal Army, and... the conclusion of the alliance after the victory, and the discussion of many conditions requires you to make great efforts."

Ding Lingdang said bluntly, "What do you think about the many concerns that Chief of Staff Bai just raised?"

This is forcing him to break through the chess and ambiguous disguise.

Di Feiwen sighed softly in his heart. Somehow, he remembered his life in his hometown of the Empire more than a hundred years ago.

That may not be so warm or beautiful.

But no matter how dark or cold, my hometown is my hometown after all!

"I haven't commanded the fleet for a long time. No, I should say that I have never commanded the fleet. I am probably the most incompetent 'fleet commander' between the Star Sea, right? Military decisions will naturally be based on the opinions of Chief Bai."

Di Feiwen smiled and said, "From the bones, I have always been a businessman, just a small businessman who buys low and sells high and is petty.

"From the standpoint of a businessman, I would like to ask you a question: If a businessman wants to sell an umbrella at a high price, should he choose when the sky is clear or when the rainstorm is pouring?"
