After being brought back from the Edge Star, the people of the Black Commune gained a rare calm. During this time, the commune did not receive any commissions, so the only thing each member had to do every day was to enjoy life.

Ian slept in the same room with Yahi as he wished, looking up and not looking down every day, it was really refreshing for people to be happy at happy events, he was happy all day long, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth never disappeared.

Oliver's new cucumber-flavored lollipop arrived, and it tasted so good that he liked to take one in his mouth wherever he went, causing the whole commune to be filled with a strong cucumber smell.

Ella's bomb reality has made new progress, and his explosive ability has broken through the limits of the Federation, and he is extremely satisfied, and his face is ruddy and shiny every day, and he can't see the sloppy decadence he had at all.

And as the boss of the Black Commune, Silver put all his thoughts on Angel, in order to raise Angel, he didn't even care about the daily affairs of the commune, and threw his brains to Ian to deal with, the honorary title of "Model Daddy" is really well deserved!

But while the Black Commune is peaceful, the Confederation has not been so peaceful lately.

That morning, after having breakfast together, none of the members of the Black Commune left, and gathered at the table with great interest to chat leisurely.

Oliver sipped his beloved cucumber-flavored lollipop for dessert while flipping through the latest issue of Star Letters.

A piece of news caught his attention.

"Hey! Did you know! The newspaper said that there had been a serious disagreement within the federal political situation recently, and the commander-in-chief of the Third Sector, Admiral McGee, openly contradicted President Byron, and the galaxies under the control of the Third Sector were generally out of federal control, and war was about to break out! ”

The entire interstellar area ruled by the Federation is divided into four parts, which are managed by the four star regions, and the four star regions are unified under the management of the Central Bureau, and the commander of each star region must go to the capital star once a year to report on his duties, so that the Central Bureau can understand the situation of his star region in the past year, so as to formulate a development strategy for the next year. The four star sectors and the Central Bureau check and balance each other, and they have been at peace for hundreds of years.

It's just that with the passage of time, the strength of each star sector has grown stronger and stronger, and this apparent peace has gradually tended to break.

Among the four star regions, the third star sector is the farthest away from the capital star, but it has the best resources in the entire federation. Admiral Lawrence, the father of Admiral McGee, the current commander-in-chief of the Third Sector, was the founding general of the early days of the Federation, and although he has been dead for many years now, McGee has inherited his father's military talent very well.

Unlike Admiral Lawrence, however, McGee's ambition is not to maintain order and stability in the Federation, but to build an empire, an empire of his own.

He spent decades building the third district in his hands like an iron bucket. He has mastered the most advanced technology of the whole federation, controls the most elite army of the whole federation, and he secretly monopolizes the economic trend of the federal government, creating the illusion of a bubble economy, but in fact, as soon as he gets rid of it, this prosperity scene will immediately shatter into slag.

-- He is encroaching on the power of the federal government little by little!

Of course, this qiē he did was not unknown to anyone, and it was true that some people had privately reported McGee's ambitions to the federal authorities, just because McGee's image in front of people was so good, and he had always been rigorous and leaky, even if the Central Bureau had the intention to investigate and punish him, there was no evidence to be found.

Such indulgence led to the growing ambition and audacity of McGee, and finally exploded completely this year.

The sudden independence of the Third Sector shocked the entire Federation, and the balance between the Central Bureau and the Fourth Sector tilted sharply. The Central Bureau tried to persuade McGee to make peace, but McGee ignored the letter from Capital Star. Just kidding, he has endured it for so many years just to accumulate strength so that he can one day confront the federal government head-on, how can he give up halfway now?

He took two galaxies from the second military region next to him with a thunderous wrist, and at the same time declared war on the fourth military region, demanding that the commander of the fourth military region relinquish command, otherwise his artillery would directly blast open the door of the fourth military region.

War! Imminent!

By the time Oliver had finished reading the newspaper, everyone fell silent. Although the Black Commune is a dark organization and is wanted by the federal government, it does not mean that they want the government to fall, after all, once the war breaks out, it will involve the entire interstellar and tens of thousands of citizens, otherwise Silver would not have agreed to take over the commission to kill the rebel leader.

Peace is a constant theme of this era.

"Ha, do you think that Simpsons Commander will give Silver another commission to cut off McGee's head?" Ian flipped through the newspaper in Oliver's hand, and suddenly sneered: "Last time, he was able to be promoted to commander-in-chief with the head of the rebel leader, and this time he may want to rely on McGee's head to become a general, after all, McGee is worth more than the leader of the rebels, isn't he?" ”

Ian really looked down on Simpson's personality of doing anything for his own benefit, and he didn't even want to touch that hush money in his account - too dirty!

Ian's guess is not unreasonable, and the members of the Black Commune know the little Simpson did at the beginning, but because the party doesn't care at all, it's useless for them to care.

"Yes, it's possible!" Oliver nodded vigorously, he still thought that the Simpsons military commander was good at that time, and gave them 5 million interstellar coins for nothing, but he was accidentally burned to his finger by the fire attached to the letterhead, and the blister took half a week to dissipate!

Ahi turned his head and asked Silver, "Silver, if Commander Simpson asks you to kill McGee for him the next time, will you take it?" ”

Silver was originally smoothing Angel's hair, and when he heard them ask him, he raised his eyes and said expressionlessly: "If he can provide the same price, why don't you take it?" ”

There's nothing wrong with killing McGee, there's really no need for a madman who thinks all about centralizing power in one body, at least he can die in exchange for decades of peace.

Ian shouted dissatisfiedly, "But he's a villain, a liar!" ”

Silver said: "It's none of mine's business. ”

"But he ......"

Ian blinked, turned his head in anger and shut up. Facing Silver's unwavering eyes, no matter how much Ian said was blocked.

Ian stopped talking, but Yahi hesitated, "Actually...... Silver, I also don't think Captain Simpson can take the commission. Although the Commune's covenant stipulates that we cannot arbitrarily judge our clients, the character and credibility of Captain Simpson are so unreliable that I have always felt that it would be a risky thing to take on his commission. ”

Oliver raised his hand, holding a lollipop in his mouth, and said vaguely, "I agree!" ”

They fought over the question of whether to accept the commission, but Ella, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Don't argue, Simpson can't make this commission." ”

"Why?" Everyone asked in unison.

Ella turned the light brain in her hand over to them, and explained, "I just hacked into the federal government's intranet and browsed it, and found that the name Simpson-Tessylam was included in the list of McGee's henchmen, which means that he has surrendered to McGee and is no longer affiliated with federal rule, and it is impossible for the Black Commune to kill his new boss." ”

Ella paused, shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said, "Of course, maybe we will still receive his commission, but it is estimated that the target of the assassination is not McGee, but the president." ”

Ella's words, while sounding like a joke, are not unfounded. With Simpson's happy personality, maybe he will secretly entrust Silver to help him kill President Byron, and then graft the credit to himself after the deed is completed, so as to ask McGee for credit.

Ian shook his head and said, "I really don't understand, why did Simpson defect from the Federation?" He's just been promoted, does he want to become vice president all at once? ”

Ella said: "What is the president and vice president, McGee's ambition is not only so big, he wants to establish an empire to replace the federation, and if he can't do it, he wants to restore the system of absolute monarchy." ”

Ian said disdainfully: "My God, is it still monarchy=system? That was thousands of years ago, how could it be possible......"

Seeing that Ian didn't believe it, Ella didn't bother to explain to him anymore, so she simply turned her light brain back and continued to browse the news she hadn't finished reading just now. McGee, unlike his father, was paranoid at heart, ambitious enough to eat the entire interstellar world. It's not that the Central Bureau doesn't know anything about these small actions in his secret, but he has always had a fluke mentality, and he has never used strong means to stop him, so that today's uncontrollable situation has become one.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the top management of the Central Bureau itself also has problems, too greedy for comfort, and pretends to be out of sight and out of mind on the surface, but in fact it is a tiger for trouble, and now it is not to blame others for being bitten by a tiger.
