In the case of the report from Sir Adrien Simon, the Council was silent.

"If this matter reaches the Third Military Region......" Queen Kate deliberately said half of her words, and then looked at the crown prince who was sitting beside her, frowning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoFrom the very beginning, the crown prince advocated finding the key to close the spatial rift, and because it seems that it is only a non-existent now, the Knox attack on the galaxy has made strict arrangements around the solar system. At this point, it looks like a big joke!

The crown prince's face was a little pale, since the beginning of the imperial meeting until now, he didn't say a word, just sat there with his head down and stared at the desktop, as if all this was caused by this desktop. Hearing the queen mother's words, the prince bit his lip tightly, and the hands placed under the table clutched his knees tightly, and his fingertips turned pale. "I just want to send someone to tell them about this, oh, by the way, why don't you just send it to the TV station?" He curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a sneer.

Once again, the Imperial Council fell into an awkward coldness. Everyone can see that today's meeting is a confrontation between the mother and son. After the anniversary, everyone can see that the queen is becoming more and more laissez-faire and alienated from the crown prince. The postponement of the crown prince's enthronement ceremony and the bloody feast prepared by the prince made everyone understand that the mother and son were no longer mother and son in the real sense, but more like opponents!

In this encounter, it now seems that Queen Kate has a slight upper hand. With the support of the Yellow River family, Kate's strength speaks for itself. And the prince just has a name, in addition to the group of eunuchs around him, and that Tom Cologne, a clown who jumps off the beam. People are waiting to see because that key person has not yet stepped forward to take a stand. He is the patriarch of the Qinling family, Qin Xiangtian, the chief cabinet minister.

The fact that Qin Xiangtian's fleet was ambushed outside the Third Military Region was suppressed, and no one knew about it until now. Everyone only learned from the side that the interstellar pirates had been defeated by the Qin family army and fled to the Alpha Centauri system. This matter is just a very ordinary stroke in the Qinling family's great military exploits, but in the eyes of a group of ministers in the court, this is a major event that can affect the political situation!

In the report, Sir Simon did not give any evidence for his judgment. Minister of State Jiang Han opened his mouth and said, his words attracting the attention of several people who bowed their heads, "Moreover, there is no mention of Lin Feng's whereabouts! According to the clues we found from Canis Major, Lin Feng should have entered the spatial rift at that time and never came out again." In fact, everyone present had doubts about the veracity of this report, but they did not dare to question Simon's status and credibility in the Federation. Jiang Han won't take care of these, at least in the current situation, he can't scruple anymore!

After listening to Jiang Han's words, everyone did not express any opinions, and continued to bow their heads.

The crown prince's eyes fell on everyone separately. Queen Kate, Prince Rossley, Jiang Han, Huang De, Lake Sriel and LaBelle. Except for his own queen mother and Jiang Han, who had just spoken, everyone else lowered their heads and did not speak. The prince stood up suddenly, and because the movement was too violent, he knocked the chair behind him to the ground, making a loud noise. The crown prince snorted coldly, stopped talking, turned around and left the hall.

Tom stood outside the main hall, and as soon as the prince came out, he immediately greeted him. When the prince saw Tom, his face became even more ugly. "Cologne, you saw that report, how do you explain it? You made a vouch to swear that the Knox were going to invade the galaxy? Now you've made me a big joke!"

Tom had prepared a lot of excuses and excuses before he came, but now he decided to tell the truth. "Prince, the Knox do exist, this is undeniable, and the influence in Justin's chip is ironclad evidence. As for why Sir Simon said this, there is obviously a deeper meaning in this!" Tom saw that the prince's face softened slightly, which showed that he still occupied a certain weight in his mind.

"What is the far-reaching meaning?" the prince asked impatiently, "What do you have to say directly, the most annoying thing for you to beat around the bush!"

"Your Highness, I think the Federation has also taken an interest in the energy in the spatial rift. And the purpose of Simon's visit to Canis Major this time is probably to observe the stability of the spatial rift, so as to provide data for the Federation's research on it!" Tom said directly.

"The Federation's science and technology are thousands of times superior to ours, how can they be interested in a small spatial rift?, and since it is clear that this is a connection channel with the outer universe, and it is also extremely unstable, why don't you want to close it so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!" said the crown prince with a frown.

"Your Highness, this is politics!" Tom reminded, "Politics does not distinguish between right and wrong, only the size of the interest!"

The prince pondered, "So our plan to find the key with the help of Sir Simon has failed?"

Tom nodded, "Aren't we going to have another way, though?"

The crown prince subconsciously glanced at St. Peter's Basilica in the distance of the palace complex, "But the Pope has already made it clear that he will not support me, although Cardinal Bruce Wesley is trying his best to curry favor with me, he probably just wants to use me as a springboard!"

"Your Highness, your understanding of this means that you are on your way to becoming a full-fledged statesman. "Politics is about interests, and the way to generate benefits is to use and be used! In this process, both sides can produce the greatest benefits by playing their respective roles well! Bishop Wesley is eager to go up, he will use you as a step, please allow me to be so rude, and if you want to get the support of the church, you must let him taste the sweetness first, so as to lure him up and down the church and lay a good foundation for you." It's not an easy process!"

The prince's brow furrowed even deeper as he listened to Tom's words. The crown prince seemed to have forgotten how this Scorpio, who was only ten years older than himself, had entered the palace, as if he had lent the empire a large sum of money. Then he sat in his current position and helped the queen mother complete the infrastructure construction of the space passage. However, it seems that this person has always been by his side to give advice, whether other people support his grandfather or support illegitimate children, this person has never wavered. What the hell is he for?

"Where are your interests?" the crown prince couldn't help but blurt out.

Tom was originally talking eloquently, but when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Your Highness, as long as you can sit on the throne, this is my interest." Tom said directly, "and, I believe that Rost the Great thinks the same way!"

Speaking of his father, the crown prince nodded deeply, "You're right. Okay, what do you think we're going to do next?"

"As soon as Adrien Simon's report is reported to the Federation, the Federation will definitely send special personnel to investigate. Now that Lin Feng is missing, he probably doesn't really know the situation inside the spatial rift. The war in Canis Major is escalating, and occupying the spatial rift at this time is a good opportunity that cannot be missed. At that time, we have the spatial rift in our hands as a bargaining chip, and we can negotiate terms with the Federation. ”

"Isn't your idea too crazy, negotiate terms with the Federation?" the crown prince sneered, "I guess no one has done it yet!"

"So let's do it!" Tom continued, "Your Highness, if you always follow the experience of your predecessors, you will not be able to go your own way. It's because no one has ever done it that we rise to the challenge. Success and failure are here!"

The prince hesitated, but Tom's idea was very bold and tempting, but the prince himself felt that he had not yet reached the point of letting go. He shook his head and said, "I think it's too risky, and besides, where did we get the army to occupy Canis Major?

Tom was also sweating when he proposed this idea, because according to the prince's usual crazy behavior, maybe he really agreed to it at his own instigation. However, after Adrien's report, the prince became cautious. Tom breathed a sigh of relief so he could proceed with the following conversation.

"Your Highness, if we don't invade others, others will invade us!"

"You're talking about Knox, and Sir Simon said they didn't exist at all!" the prince sneered, but the smile faded as he looked at Tom's solemn expression.

"Your Highness, don't you know the harvester?"

"Harvester?" the prince shuddered when he heard the word. Tom was also a little surprised to see the prince's performance, could it be that this kid actually knew the harvester?" "What do you mean?" the prince looked at Tom suspiciously, and asked tentatively.

"Reapers from the zodiac signs!"

"How do you know?"

"A friend told me that this is true?" Tom immediately pretended not to know anything.

"Why do you suddenly mention these people?" the prince remembered what Tom had just said, "and you mean the aggressors by the collectors?"

Tom nodded slightly.

"You're wrong!" the prince relaxed and said, "The star field we are in includes several constellation galaxies and nebula galaxies, all of which are galaxies under the zodiac virgo galaxy. In other words, we submit to the rule of the Virgo Star Emperor. The collector is the person sent by the Star Emperor to inspect the stability of the region and collect taxes!"
