Chapter 459: How to Rule the Little Brothers
In the conference room of the Imperial Palace, all the senior officials frowned and pondered. The current problem is not just a problem of Stanlo civilization, but how the Empire should rule the Orion Arm after replacing the Stanlo civilization, and how to deal with the invasion of the powerful civilization from the center of the Milky Way. It is also a problem of unknown challenges faced by the Empire after entering the Milky Way stage.
Only when the Empire has thought clearly about the future path and direction of the Empire, can it really take action against the Stanlo civilization, because once it takes action against the Stanlo civilization, it means that the Empire has stepped onto the big stage of the Milky Way and will no longer be a civilization limited to the secondary spiral arm.
"The ruling mode of the Kolov Empire has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can weaken the potential opponents on the Orion Arm as much as possible. By plundering, it can kill those potential civilizations in their infancy. In addition, it can obtain the offerings of many civilizations for free and suck blood from other civilizations."
"The disadvantage is that because of long-term reliance on sucking other civilizations, it will gradually become corrupt and degenerate, and gradually lose its vitality. The other is that because of the suppression of excellent civilizations and the lack of competition, it is unable to absorb the essence of excellent civilizations to develop and strengthen its own civilization."
Li Fu opened his mouth slowly, thinking of the policy of the Han Technology Empire towards other civilizations in the civilization seed. As a super civilization, the Han Technology Empire has many affiliated cosmic civilizations, and they are basically extremely powerful civilizations. The Han Technology Empire has a very complete control policy for the affiliated cosmic civilizations.
Not only can the Han Technology Empire perfectly control these affiliated cosmic civilizations, but it can also develop the potential of these civilizations in a targeted manner, making these civilizations an important part of the Han Technology Empire and contributing to the development of the Han Technology Empire.
Therefore, the Han Dynasty Technology Empire has always followed a principle to recruit younger brothers, only civilizations with potential and good enough. As for those ordinary civilizations without any potential, the Han Dynasty Technology Empire simply ignores them.
Of course, if you want to operate like the Han Dynasty Technology Empire, there is a prerequisite, that is, the Han Dynasty Technology Empire is developing very fast, and has enough strength and confidence to suppress its younger brothers. This is like wanting the talented people to work for you willingly, you must be more talented than your subordinates.
In contrast, the Kolov Empire's means of ruling these civilizations under its command are very inferior. On the one hand, it is a defense from the bottom of its heart, and on the other hand, it is as greedy as a vampire.
This is like a leader who is worried that his subordinates will shake him, so he suppresses those excellent subordinates with all his strength, and on the other hand, he hopes that his subordinates can show good performance.
As the saying goes, ordinary bosses talk to their employees about salary and benefits, while smart bosses talk to their employees about feelings and dreams; truly powerful bosses try to combine the interests of employees with the interests of the company, and employees will naturally work hard.
In the Earth Age, the early colonial activities of Europeans were very simple and crude, mainly conquering and robbing precious metals such as gold and silver by force, and then slowly developed into dumping products on colonies and plundering and invading by relying on industrial scissors, and finally invading culture, values, and ideas. The means are getting more and more sophisticated, and the whole world is completely under their control.
In the cosmic age, there are so many civilized races in the universe, and the universe is so vast and boundless. It is impossible for a civilization to rely on the power of its own single civilization to rule a vast area. It must have a very large group of affiliated cosmic civilizations.
The more advanced the civilization, the larger the group of affiliated cosmic civilizations under its command, and the stronger its strength. How to give full play to the value of these affiliated cosmic civilizations under its command is what every powerful civilization is thinking and exploring.
"Our empire should have a long-term vision. We cannot be limited to a small Orion spiral arm, nor can we only see one Milky Way. We should look at the entire universe, so how should we treat these subordinate cosmic civilizations in the future?"
"I personally have some immature suggestions. We cannot simply suck blood from our subordinate cosmic civilizations like the Kolov Empire. We can directly abandon such inferior means."
"Subordinate cosmic civilizations should be able to become the left and right arms of our empire, and be a whole with our empire, but at the same time firmly under the control of our empire. We need powerful civilizations, not those subordinate cosmic civilizations with potential..."
Li Fu slowly explained the method of the Han Technology Empire to control its subordinate cosmic civilizations. Since we look at the universe, we naturally have to have the same cosmic temperament and the same vast strength.
"There is a very important point based on this policy, that is, the strength and development speed of our empire must always be stronger and faster than these little brothers under us."
"We should have this confidence, and we should have this confidence. If one day we can't even beat our own little brothers, then our empire will follow the old path of the Kolov Empire. This is equivalent to always hanging a sword of Damocles over our empire, so that we always understand our situation and keep working hard to move forward."
Li Fu's words have been finished, but the high-level officials of the empire present frowned one by one, carefully recalling and thinking about Li Fu's words. This is related to the future major policies of the empire, and it is also related to the future rise and fall of the empire. Everyone is thinking very seriously.
"Brother Fu, I don't think this is too confident and bold. Any powerful civilization will have ambitions and will never be willing to become a vassal of others. Once the subordinate cosmic civilization becomes powerful, their ambitions will also expand. This method is too dangerous. It is equivalent to leaving countless time bombs for yourself. If you are not careful, you will blow yourself to pieces."
Even Yu Liang, who has always been big-mouthed, took the lead in speaking out his opposition. Li Fu's idea is too bold. Although it is beautiful, it is also very dangerous.
"I think so too. Since ancient times, China has treated many civilizations with sincerity, such as Japan, Vietnam, and Goryeo... But in the end, when China was weak, they raised their knives to us mercilessly. This lesson must not be forgotten and must be kept in mind at all times."
Tu Xueli also nodded and spoke. Thinking of the sufferings that the Chinese nation had suffered in history, his attitude was also very firm.
"Brother Fu does not mean to learn from the practices of those dynasties in our history to control a subordinate cosmic civilization. We must control it from all aspects, such as economy, culture, thought, and military. It is not like the ancient times, where we just exported our own technology but got nothing in return."
Chen Bin spoke slowly. He understood what Li Fu said from a deep level, so he also agreed with Li Fu's proposal.
"I also support Brother Fu's proposal. If we can truly control a civilization from all aspects, such as economy, culture, thought, and military, it will definitely promote the development of our empire more than simple plunder."
Cao Haitao also expressed himself.
"The Kolov Empire has occupied the Orion Arm for billions of years, and has plundered countless materials and wealth from the Orion Arm, but its own development has always stopped at the level 3 cosmic civilization, without any development. From this point of view, this kind of bloodsucking not only did not promote the development of the Kolov Empire, but became an obstacle to the progress of the Kolov Empire."
Bai Cai also nodded slowly. Although he did not directly support Li Fu, he talked about the shortcomings of the Kolov Empire's ruling method from another perspective.
As the heavyweight elders and senior officials spoke out, others also began to express their opinions. Basically, there were half and half supporters and half opponents. The senior officials of the empire also had a rare disagreement on this occasion.
Those who support Li Fu's proposal naturally believe in Li Fu's ideas and vision all the time, and on the other hand, they have indeed seen the failure of the existing Kolov Empire model.
As for those who oppose Li Fu's proposal, it is because the Chinese nation has suffered too many lessons in history, so at this time they are more cautious and careful, with a sense of historical responsibility and mission, and fear that the tragedy of history will be staged again on the Chinese nation in the future.
Li Fu listened carefully to everyone's words, and thought in his mind whether it was correct for him to copy the practice of the Han Dynasty Science and Technology Empire, and whether the empire could also maintain rapid development like the Han Dynasty Science and Technology Empire, and have enough strength to suppress his subordinates.
Although everything in the empire is developing quite well now, will the empire become proud and complacent in the future, as in history, when it becomes strong, and become unprogressive and self-contained?
If these phenomena occur at that time, and his subordinates are constantly developing and surpassing, will the empire repeat the tragedy in history?
Of course, if such a phenomenon occurs, even if the subordinates are not strong, they will eventually be surpassed by other powerful civilizations, and ultimately cannot escape the tragic fate.
Li Fu thought a lot in his mind. This is a major event related to the future destiny of the empire and the destiny of the Chinese nation. Li Fu dare not be careless at all.
"I think we shouldn't rush to make a decision on this matter. There is still a lot of time. We can explore step by step. What we need to do now is to occupy the Starlight Shore first."
Li Fu finally decided to put this matter aside and focus on completing the task at hand.
PS: I was unlucky today. I was rear-ended by someone while waiting to pay the toll at the highway toll station. I spent the whole afternoon arguing, so this is just one chapter. I will make up for the one I owe tomorrow.
