Chapter 267 Partnerships

Tom has been sitting in the position of Deputy Minister of Engineering of the Red Sun Empire for a full month. Tom suddenly had a feeling that everyone felt that he was an official, but he never knew that the pressure you were carrying when you were really sitting in this position was really not as easy as a businessman.www.biquge.info Since Lin Feng and the others left, Tom's focus in life has completely shifted to work. Although there are still many differences among the major star systems on the specific matters of the space passage "Silk Road", the matter has finally been decided. Soon after Lin Feng left, the relevant personnel of the major galaxies would also start planning the construction of the space channel coordinate signal tower.

Since standing in the prince's ranks with LaBel, Tom has not only gained a rise in status, from a merchant on a small planet of Saipan to a frequent guest at the banquets of major nobles, but also obtained many unknown secrets in the drunken aristocratic circle. This includes not only the erosive aristocratic life, but also the attitude of certain people, such as the dukes and above of the empire, on certain important resolutions. This time, in the bidding for the Empire's Space Passage Coordinate Tower, Tom successfully defeated the Madur Mining Company by relying on his words.

After winning the bid, all Tom had to do was monitor the flow of funds, and the engineering department would do the rest. After a busy month, Tom also wants to take a break, but there are more things waiting for him to do, and the search for the emperor's illegitimate son is one of them. Before Caterina left Earth, she had already told him the true identity of the illegitimate child, so today Tom got up early in the morning and went to the residence of Wack Snoder, the head of the Freedom Alliance. After waiting for a few minutes, a man in a black suit said that Mr. Snod had something to do and it was inconvenient to meet. Tom groaned for a moment, got up and left, and just walked out of the building, about to board the airship to leave, he was stopped by a man.

Tom turned around and looked, it turned out to be Snowdenken, that is, the old rival Snowden!

"Yo, isn't this our minister?" Snowden hurriedly stepped forward, bowed thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "My lord, why did you have to come here?"

Tom felt very curious, "It turned out to be Mr. Snowden, why, didn't you follow the Grand Duke of Wangbadu back to the Bolland system?"

"Hehe, my lord, don't you know this?" Snowden leaned over to Tom and said, "After all, the Polish-German galaxy has limited scientific and technological strength, and the construction of the coordinate tower still needs the support of the empire!"

Tom frowned slightly, of course he could hear that except for the last four words, what Snowden said was all nonsense, but he was not sure what Snowden was up to, and he needed his own help! Half an hour later, the two arrived at the engineering building and entered Tom's office.

The secretary put down his coffee and closed the door and left, leaving Tom and Snowden alone in the office. Tom was completely prepared before entering the engineering department, after all, he was working under the noses of others, and he had to leave a trick for himself, so he bought a set of electronic jamming equipment through the black market, and let Han Yilong conduct professional debugging, which can block almost all signals except for the identity chip. Tom quietly turned on the signal jamming device placed in the office, and said to Snowden in front of him: "Okay, now there are only the two of us here, what do you have to say!"

Snowden smiled awkwardly, Nima brought me here, what else can I say?" "This, Minister, do you think we can find a convenient place to talk?"

"Why, do you have a habit of talking in the toilet?" said Tom with a serious expression.

"Nani?" Snowden was stunned for a moment, and smiled wryly, "Hehe, the minister is really joking! It's just that the things I want to say today are more sensitive, and I'm worried that the wall has ears, and if the matter gets out, it will inevitably damage your reputation!"

"My fertility? Mmmm, you're right, I'm so young, I haven't married a daughter-in-law, I really can't affect my fertility! However, it seems that what you want to say is really serious, it can actually affect my fertility problems! It seems that I have to listen carefully! Don't worry, I have turned off all the monitoring and monitoring here, you can just talk about it!" Tom said deliberately interrupted.

Snowden is an intelligence officer, and he is a pirate, no one has seen it, he has not experienced anything, he has already died once, of course, he will not be affected by Tom's attitude of gaining power, and he made up his mind and said: "My lord, during this time, you have been mixed in, oh, no, you are at the upper class, and you must know the current situation of the empire well." In fact, the Red Sun Empire today is only an empty shell, supported by a child who doesn't know anything and an empty and lonely woman, and the building will fall and the big tree will fall long ago! It won't be long before the three major families and the three major military region families will be unable to support this mess, and at that time, it will really be a tree falling and scattering!"

"You are alarmist when you say this, the three major families are attached to the entire imperial structure, just like hair is attached to the skin, how can they watch their skin rot and the empire collapse?" Tom also felt a sense of weakness when he said this.

"Hehe, my lord, the fall and rise of an empire will not affect the power of the three major families at all, so to speak, the three major families can completely control whether an empire is prosperous or destroyed! If the Plintys family really can't manage this empire well, the three major families will not hesitate to find a new spokesperson!" Snowden said.

When he heard the words "new spokesperson", Tom's heart jumped a few times, and the word bastard flashed in his mind. His brows furrowed even more, and before he spoke, he heard Snowden continue: "It is said that the three major families once had some kind of agreement, only allowing the descendants of the three major families to marry with the royal family, but no descendant of the three major families can be allowed to take the position of this spokesperson, so it is rumored that after the crown prince ascends the throne, the queen regent will usurp the imperial power is wrong." Even the Chief Cabinet Minister, Lord Regent, Qin Xiangtian, was so powerful that he didn't dare to cross the agreement of the three major families, and sit on that cold iron throne, how could a dissolute and sinister woman have this qualification? Therefore, if the current crown prince is really muddy and can't support the wall, it is necessary and necessary to find a new spokesperson!"

Snowden re-emphasized the statement of spokesperson, Tom has been mixed in the aristocratic circle in the past month, and he has more or less felt the deceit behind the prosperity. Don't look at the three major families' respect for the royal family, that's just a superficial phenomenon, after all, the royal family is the symbol of the entire empire, and it is the tool of the three major families to rule the empire.

"You've analyzed it so thoroughly, there must be a few candidates for the spokesperson, right?"

Snowden was waiting for this sentence, but he didn't plan to show his hole cards now, and hang the other party's appetite first, he knew very well how cunning this Tom was, so he changed the conversation and said: "Hehe, is this, naturally I have a little opinion." The Minister must know better than I do. After hearing about your deeds, we hope that the Grand Duke of Badu is also very admired, and intends to cooperate with you, my lord, to get a little due benefit from this dead but not stiff big worm. Of course, the sincerity of the Grand Duke is in me, as long as you nod your head, we will immediately offer sincerity!"

When Tom heard this, he figured out why this guy had ascended to his Three Treasures Hall today! Tom smiled and said, "Oh, since the Grand Duke wants to cooperate, I don't know how to cooperate?"

"Do you remember the day of the Independence Day event, when the crown prince entered St. Peter's Church to pay respects, and as a result, a strange colorful light shot out of the palace?"

Tom made a thoughtful look, but in fact, he was thinking in his heart, what kind of medicine is sold in this guy's gourd, this thinking is too jumpy, right? But as soon as he heard the colorful light, he thought of the key to the tomb of Robert the Great! Sure enough, Snowden didn't wait for Tom to answer, and said: "Actually, everyone knows that it is not a St. Peter's apparition, but there are few people who know what it is!" He could not have expected that Tom was on the edge of the tomb when the colorful light happened.

Tom pretended to be interested and said, "Oh?

"Actually, it did come out of the tomb of Robert the Great, and it was actually the result of an attempt to open the tomb. As you may have heard, legend has it that there are countless treasures buried in the tomb of Robert the Great, but there is only one key to unlock it. The key was held in the hands of successive emperors, and only the emperor himself knew what was in the tomb. In the millennium after the death of Robert the Great, there were countless people who wanted to attack the idea of the tomb, and the reason why no one tried it was because anyone who took a fake key or used brute force would destroy the tomb. And on the same day, it was someone who entered the tomb with a fake key that caused the incident!"

Tom began to admire this man a little, and sure enough, he was engaged in intelligence, as if he was there at the time!
