Technology Spark
Chapter 297 Intrigue
Chapter 297 Intrigue
Li Jian’s face was full of confidence. This confidence came from the scientific research team headed by Fan Ren. Through their unremitting efforts day and night, they developed products that reached or even surpassed similar technological products of the Hans civilization.
As the only force that has real large-scale combat experience so far, their Qingluan Legion has enjoyed the full investment of almost all human resources at no cost.
From the very beginning, there was no resistance within the Qingluan Legion to the war against the Hans civilization. On the contrary, due to the long period of boring training, the enthusiasm for fighting within the legion was extremely high.
This can be seen from the eager eyes of the commanders in front of him.
He nodded to Fan Ren beside him, then pointed to the direction of the Hans Civilization Space City on the star map without pausing and said seriously:
“1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th squadrons, a total of battleships. No matter what method you use, you must bite off this tough bone for me. Can you do it?”
“Guaranteed to complete the mission!”
The voices of reply were surprisingly uniform and loud, instantly echoing throughout the entire conference room.
Li Jian nodded slightly and continued to turn his gaze towards the direction of the star gate. This was also a very important strategic point, as it was related to the retreat route of the entire Qingluan Legion in the event of an unfavorable battle situation.
“Commander of the 6th Squadron, step out.”
“Yes, legion commander!”
A captain who was nearly two meters tall and extremely strong stood out from the crowd and answered in a loud and clear voice.
Fan Ren looked at the young captain of the 6th Division and subconsciously turned to glance at Li Jian.
Wow, this captain looks 8% similar to Li Jian when he was young.
Li Jian saw what he meant and couldn’t help but smile slightly. He then pointed at the star gate and said, “Here are 1000 of the most elite troops of the Hans civilization. I will give you battleships and Young Dragons equipped with electromagnetic railguns. Do you have the confidence to take this place?
You know the importance of this.
After the war begins in other areas, this will be the most important point to ensure the safe evacuation of our legion.
Moreover, even if the war in other areas goes smoothly, this place will become the enemy’s escape route, and you will face a lot of deserters by then.
In the entire Hans star region, this place will undoubtedly become a Shura field.”
“Reporting to the corps commander, I promise to complete the mission. I, Li Dagang, guarantee with the honor of the Sixth Battalion that if the enemy wants to pass through this star gate, they must step over my dead body. Otherwise, as long as there is a soldier alive in the Sixth Battalion, they will never let even a fly pass through the star gate!”
Li Dagang, 70 years old, has been in the army for more than 50 years. He is a meritorious space soldier who participated in the interstellar space blocking war more than 30 years ago.
In that battle, as a pilot of the USS Young Dragon, he had a brilliant record of destroying more than 30 carrier-based aircraft and intercepting and destroying hundreds of frigates at high speed.
After the Qingluan Legion was stationed in a hidden base, he was promoted on the frontline and rose all the way to captain.
It can be said that this rising star in the Qingluan Legion is currently the captain that Li Jian values the most, otherwise he would not have entrusted such an important task to him.
Fan Ren did not interrupt. He was a complete stranger in military matters and never made comments on this aspect. Although Li Dagang in front of him was very young, compared to the average age of 180 in the Space Force, he was just like a child.
But the other party’s resume is very good.
But even so, Fan Ren felt that such an important task should be assigned to a captain with rich experience and heavy responsibilities.
However, he did not comment on this, as he believed in Li Jian’s vision.
After arranging the tasks at two extremely important strategic points, the subsequent tasks seemed less complicated.
The remaining 4000 Punishers were divided by Li Jian into several formations, and divided into a corresponding number of fleets in a ratio of 1 to 15, to deal with the garrisons scattered in various areas of the Hans galaxy.
The entire combat meeting lasted for nearly a day, until Li Jian, with the assistance of Ah Dai, completed the supplement of every detail, and then everyone dispersed one after another.
Hans Galaxy Space City, Royal Palace.
“Your Majesty, those people in the military are really going too far. They are almost openly defying your orders.”
Under the throne, Luo Er knelt on the ground with a face full of resentment.
I thought that after spending a lot of effort and using a sum of money from the royal treasury to reward the emperor, and after a successful military parade, these lavishly paid military officials would give the emperor some face.
But now it seems that everything they have done before seems to be in vain. The entire Ministry of War has returned to the situation a few years ago and simply ignores any orders that do not come from the Prime Minister.
Hans Ming heard this, raised his dark face and looked at him, thinking “waste”, and then said helplessly:
“Did you get any results from the thing I asked you to do?”
After hearing this, Luo Er was stunned, obviously not realizing what the Emperor was referring to.
“Asshole, are there any results from the investigation of the Sirius civilization?”
Hearing this, Luo Er suddenly realized what was going on. He then bowed and kowtowed and quickly replied, “Yes, Your Majesty. The intelligence department has conducted investigations and various other means, and the results of the investigation have been fed back.”
“Say!”
Hans Ming looked at Roll below him, and at that moment he lost his breath.
He did not present such important information to the Prime Minister immediately, but instead tried to incite him to do something against the Prime Minister in a rage.
What a joke! Although he was young, he knew that if he really angered Prime Minister Max and made him take risks, he, the emperor, would be the first to suffer.
Luo Er did not react, but suddenly felt that the Emperor seemed a little impatient with him, and replied in a trembling voice:
“Your Majesty, thanks to my unremitting efforts”
“Tell the important point!”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Intelligence shows that Prime Minister Max has had several exchanges and contacts with diplomatic officials of the Sirius civilization, but everything has been reported in accordance with strict diplomatic procedures.
Even during the few banquets with other officials, he used video equipment to record the entire process.
After he finished speaking, the hall fell into silence.
Luo’s heart trembled slightly, he knew that His Majesty wanted to find out the information about Max’s collusion with the Sirius civilization.
But it is obvious that as an old fox politician who has been in charge of the empire’s affairs for 300 years, Max will not reveal too many handles in this regard.
After hearing this, Hans Ming on the throne’s face gradually became gloomier.
I originally wanted to create some trouble for Max in this way, so as to exchange some interests with him, but now it seems that this approach is not feasible.
Just as he was silent, Roll’s lips moved below him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Hans Ming saw this and said directly, “What do you want to say? Say it!”
“It’s your Majesty!”
Luo Er bowed quickly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “The Intelligence Department previously intercepted a transport ship that was transporting mining workers to the solar system for work. On it, they found information about our Hans civilization holding a military parade, as well as some irrelevant news.”
“What news? Tell me!”
Hans Ming stared at Roll, looking at his important subordinate who was chosen by him to be the Minister of Personnel and who also supervised the intelligence department, and he wished he could eat him alive.
Such crucial news was still being hesitant, as if it was not important to him. You know, although the Hans civilization held a space-scale military parade, the process was kept secret.
Although he also knew that it was wishful thinking for the current Hans civilization to keep such important information secret, it also depended on where the news was sent.
It is now obvious that Rawl knows that this information is sent to humans, but he still doesn’t know the importance of this matter.
It really made him furious.
Irredeemably stupid.
“Your Majesty, the intelligence also mentioned the approximate garrison areas and deployments within our galaxy.
However, this information is basically semi-public, and it is not difficult for anyone who is interested to find it.
Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. This intelligence was intercepted in a mine of the Mai family, from the hands of miners who chose to go to work in human civilization because the mine resources were exhausted. “
‘boom! ‘
As soon as he finished speaking, Hans Ming’s eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
I knew that this old fox would never let his plan go ahead peacefully.
As for the military, he still has some means that he has not used. This is a very important news that he plans to announce personally in the near future after the last batch of battleships are put into service, which may even change the entire situation.
But before that, he needed to find some dirt on Max to deepen the authenticity of what he said.
In other words, in this way, the prime minister who has been in charge of the empire’s affairs for 300 years and is considered nearly perfect in the eyes of all intelligent creatures of the Hans civilization will appear to be not so devoted to the country.
At the very least, he should appear to be selfish and not wholeheartedly devoted to the country.
Today, due to the greatly increased unemployment rate among civilians in the empire, internal sentiment is now focused on the royal family.
Under the operation of Prime Minister Max, the people of the empire put the root of all this on the almighty Emperor, while he remained glorious and majestic, wholeheartedly serving the people.
This situation must change.
Many times, the change in a person’s image in the eyes of others can be caused by just a small thing.
Even just a little bit is better than doing nothing.
Hans Ming pointed at the puzzled Roll below, his lips moved for a while, and finally, as if giving up, he shook his head and said, “To use this intelligence, we must combine it with real evidence and collect relevant negative news involving Max, and spread it among the people in the form of gossip. Can you do it?”
Upon hearing this, Rawl was immediately confused. He had no idea what effect this level of insult could have on Prime Minister Max, whose status was even equal to that of His Majesty.
Seeing his men like this, Hans Ming fell silent, and then he seemed to have put away his temper and said softly: “Don’t think too much about the rest.
In this way, all the personnel from the Sirius civilization were withdrawn and placed on the human civilization side to continue collecting relevant intelligence.
Next, you just need to do these two things well, and don’t worry about the rest. Can you do it?”
Hans Ming tried to use a gentle tone, for he was afraid that his attitude would cause the loser in front of him to misunderstand something.
Now he has a group of talented people under his command, but most of them are young people like Hans Qi, who are capable but have no prestige.
Although he was eligible to be dismissed from the prestigious position of the Imperial Minister of Personnel, he still needed the Prime Minister’s nod if he wanted to take up the position.
Obviously, during this period, even if Prime Minister Hans would agree to his orders, it would definitely not be so smooth.
Hans Ming was well aware that the current chancellor had no explicit objection to his order.
All responses and purposes revolve around just one word.
That’s ‘drag’!
As long as it is delayed until the right time, the prime minister will definitely make a choice that will make the royal family lose.
Referendum Bill
After 300 years of ruling, the royal family is still high and mighty today, but that is only the sacredness of imperial power caused by the foundation of thousands of years of rule.
But in today’s technological age, intelligent creatures will receive some education because they need to be familiar with the operation of various technological products.
In this situation, it is inevitable that intelligent creatures will have some “secret criticism” of theocracy.
Coupled with Max’s operations over the years, Hans Ming firmly believed that once the “Referendum” began, their royal family would lose everything.
Luo Er in front of him heard this, but he didn’t think much about it. He nodded repeatedly and responded, “I obey your order.”
“Go back.”
Seeing this, Hans Ming waved his hand with a complicated expression, as if looking at Roll in front of him for one more moment would make him suffocate, and cast his gaze on the documents on the desk.
Prime Minister’s House.
“Are you looking for news about us over there?”
“Yes, Prime Minister. After our spies passed the news, they were directly targeted and captured by the other party. However, everything has been arranged. It is impossible for the other party to find our clues.”
The one who asked the question was the old Prime Minister Max, and the one who answered him was McDowell, who had once been an envoy to human civilization.
Upon hearing this, Max nodded slightly. He was very confident in the work of his own nephew.
He leaned back in his chair and did not answer immediately, his eyes narrowed as he fell into thought.
It was understandable that after receiving his intelligence, human civilization wanted to find them along the line of delivery of the intelligence, and he was not surprised.
What he was wondering was why it had been a while since this happened, but human civilization had not responded at all.
Although the Hans civilization is of the same level as the other side, it is at least a second-level civilization that has entered the space age 300 years ago.
It is also a powerful existence with up to 150,000 battleships under its command.
And the most important point is that the current status of Hans civilization is no secret in the entire Alpha Centauri star field.
In today’s star field, the eyes of other second-level civilizations are all fixed on the Hans civilization.
Everyone wants to know what the Hans civilization will do next, whether to join the Sirius civilization or is there some other way.
The emergence of human civilization today is not only an opportunity for Hans civilization, but also an opportunity for several other civilizations that are in the same predicament as Hans civilization.
He was very confused as to why the human civilization, which was aware of all these situations, did not react at all after learning that the Hans civilization was about to declare war on it.
Why do they?
