Chapter 588: Who Uses Who Knows
When the Star Alliance collapsed, the Hillenbuir region rose together, and Maxwell? Stewart, Helens? There are big heroes and big forces like Abdul, and naturally there are many small and medium-sized forces.
These small and medium-sized forces had to unite and help each other in order to confront the large forces around them, and over time, this alliance snowballed and grew, and thus the strange form of government such as the United Kingdom of Turanx was born.
Unlike the Stuart family of the Monya Empire, which occupies half of the country, the Olybald family of the United Kingdom of Tulanx actually controls less than 30% of the territory, and the rest of the large and small vassal states occupy most of the country, which makes the royal family's control over the power of the country relatively weak.
This is also why the slow political game between the new forces belonging to Zanggowell and the old forces belonging to Henrietta has been going on for more than a decade, but neither side dares to break the delicate balance. It was only now, when Henrietta was dying of old age and felt that her days were short, that she had to make up her mind to break the political deadlock.
The power of the royal family has weakened, and the energy of the princes has been strengthened, so that a large part of the princes wander between the old and new forces, seeing the wind and the rudder, left and right, and are the best at muddying the waters. For the present situation was the best for them, and in spite of the fierce political infighting, the two sides were very measured and would not chase and fight to death, and the antagonism between Zangov and Henrietta made it necessary for them to do everything in their power to win over the princes and make greater concessions to their interests.
The Kernar family, to which Congreve belongs, is home to two star systems, the Aradelle star system and the Josena star system.
Compared with the Josena star system, the Aradel star system is closer to the star system "Kehanos", the capital of the kingdom, and the internal environment and construction efforts are also greater than that of "Josenna", where Congreve lived and ruled most of the time.
Because of the relationship between the state system and the political environment, great princes like Congreve. The autonomy of the territory was very high, and the influence of both King Zang Vill and the regent Henrietta was far less than that of Kirclaugh I of the Monya Empire on the princes' domains, and the people of the jurisdiction regarded Congreve more as their king, and Zang Ge Wei was just a relatively empty symbol.
Congreve, of course, died violently. Surbaggio's succession to the dukedom was a natural thing, but before it was officially canonized by Zangowell, "Aradell" was much more vigilant than usual, especially in the field of space.
It's just a pity that these are useless for the "Seraph". After a week of interstellar flight, the Seraphic Angel and the Morning Star broke through the warp interception network on the border of the United Kingdom of Tulanx and the warp interception network on the periphery of Aradel and appeared near the asteroid belt of Planet 7.
After the "Morning Star" broke away from the virtual space, it activated the zero-element particle spatial effect field generator and entered the semi-virtual space, and entered a silent stealth state.
Tang Fang drove the "Seraph" to jump directly to the vicinity of the fourth planet "Adiya", using Emma's ability to invade the space-based unmanned platform, and then bypass the system firewall. Falsified suitable identity information, returned to the asteroid belt to rendezvous with the "Morning Star", and took Roy, Zhou Ai, Freya, and Aros to "Etia" on a Turlanes United Kingdom domestic white pigeon-class shuttle.
With Emma's help, the staff of the "Adiya" immigration office naturally couldn't find out the true identities of the five people, and only when the five of them were tourists who came to "Adiya", they told them that due to the death of the old duke, maybe the inland situation was a little tense, but it did not affect the vacation. I just hope that they will pay attention to a little, and then tell them a few travel matters that need attention. And let them pass.
About 1 hour later, the 5 people arrived at Fort Noor, the largest city in "Etia", got out of the airport, got on a maglev car, and drove quickly to the hotel where Irma and others stayed in the city.
After getting out of the car, I entered the hotel, and according to the scan results from the outside detector, except for a drug dealer and a few prostitutes who engaged in indecent acts in broad daylight. No official monitors have been found.
This surprised Tang Fang a little, and it was a little strange why Sulbacho was so careless. When he went upstairs, he thought about it carefully, and felt that he was making too much of a fuss, because Philips's merchant group was originally a trading company registered with "Adiya", although it had always been engaged in the trading of arms, small spacecraft, strategic materials, etc. However, the warships and cargo ships were moored at the marine dock near the 10th planet of "Aradell", and there were garrison navies patrolling back and forth, so there was no danger of any trouble.
Coming to the suite where Irma lived on the 16th floor of the hotel, Roy stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a few breaths, there was a soft click, the door opened, and a sad Irma appeared in front of several people.
When she saw Roy and Aros in the front, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and when she saw Tang Fang, who was standing side by side with Zhou Ai, her eyes burst with a light and she said in surprise: "You...... You're here so fast? β
She didn't know that this was already slow, and if it was just the Seraph, it would be cut by more than half.
Aros glanced left and right, motioning for her to come into the room and talk, and Irma suppressed her excitement and let a few people into the room.
The suite has 3 bedrooms, a living room, and a small conference room, originally Irma was discussing with several managers of the business group about the rescue of Philips and old Benny, seeing Tang Fang's arrival, several managers who were originally sitting on the sofa hurriedly stood up, one by one, looking at each other, unable to understand why the famous Captain Tang suddenly appeared in front of him.
The matter of "Mubarak" has been in an uproar these days, except for the three countries of the Monya Empire, the Sulu Empire, and the Phoenix Empire, because the information blockade did not know the people, almost all the other countries in the Hillenbuir region knew that the Star Alliance had a "Morning Star Casting", and there was a Tang Fang in the "Morning Star Casting". Zaire had a tooth nailed to the Covenant's fat flesh removed.
Out of secrecy, Irma did not tell anyone the news that Tang Fang was going to come to "Adiya" in person, and even the core management of the business group did not know, even if some of the employees below felt that the business group had reached a critical point of survival, and people's hearts were fluctuating, and everyone was in danger. Some people even think about leaving their jobs and put their minds on finding a new owner.
She risked being eavesdropped on by the authorities by sending messages to Morningstar Foundry, but it was safe for Morningstar Casting to send messages to Aetia.
The reason for the secrecy was the fear of alarming the top level of the United Kingdom of Turanax, and the second was to prevent Surbacho from learning about it.
If Sulbacho had been afraid, it would have been better to change his previous strategy and release Philips and Benny Sr. It's a pity that with his stubborn character, this is not very likely, on the contrary, it is likely to make him embarrassed and angry, feeling that he was bullied by Captain Tang before he succeeded to the title, but it brought danger to Philips and Benny Sr.
You must know that "Aladel" is the hinterland of the United Kingdom of Turanks, only more than 10 light years away from the national capital, not a remote and bitter cold place like "Mubarak", and no one who has reached the standard of intelligence will think that Captain Tang and his biological warship can compete with the national power.
There is no problem with Sulbacho's intelligence. There is also some stubbornness, so, if there are no accidents, he will definitely fight to the end for that little face, and even kill Philips and Benny Sr. in advance, announcing to his subjects that his prestige cannot be desecrated.
"I'm sorry, I'm hiding this." Irma apologized to several people.
Several of the managers are close associates of Philips and Benny Sr., and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are Elma's elders. Knowing what she's worried about, it's natural not to be surprised. On the contrary, they were very happy, because Tang Fang arrived, and Philips and Benny Sr. were saved, although they didn't know what means he would use to rescue the two.
"Sit down." Tang Fangchong nodded to the others, and sat down with Zhou Ai and Aros, and Roy stood behind him like a stone sculpture.
Freya, on the other hand, was nowhere to be seen, yawning and going to one of the bedrooms inside.
She felt that her dearest Captain Tang had suddenly become much more violent, she was tossed by him for most of the night last night, she was too sleepy, and she had to hurry up and find a place to rest for a while.
Irma was going to make tea for a few people. Tang Fang stopped her and said that there was no need, the matter of rescuing the two should be done sooner rather than later, and it would be better to do it.
Zhou Ai has always been resolute and resolute, and asked directly: "Have you heard about the detention locations of Philips and Old Benny?" β
Irma took out a PDA with holographic projection function from a cabinet behind her and placed it in the center of the table, pressed the button, and the camera popped up, projecting a map of Fort Norr and the surrounding area outward.
"About 200 nautical miles from the coastline of Fort Knoll is Kandal Island, on which is the palace of the Duke of Congreve. A week earlier, the Commander and Uncle Benny had gone to Kandal Island to meet with the Duke, but after the accident, they were confined to the island palace and never left. β
"Are you sure they're being held in Kandal?"
Irma nodded: "The information was obtained by the internal staff of Kandal Island, there should be no fake, not to mention that Sulbacho and the Duchess have been busy stabilizing the situation in the DΓ¬ng territory for several days, as well as dealing with the funeral of the Duke of Congreve, and they have no time to deal with the affairs of the regimental commander and Uncle Benny." β
"In that case, it's easy to do."
Tang Fang stood up and said, "Let's go, go and save people." β
"Now?"
Irma looked out the window, the sun was shining brightly, the dazzling light reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the streets were filled with a constant stream of vehicles, and shuttles flew between the buildings from time to time.
went to rob the prison in broad daylight, I'm afraid that only Captain Tang could think of this kind of thing, as for whether she could do it or not, she didn't know the bottom of her heart.
The merchant group managers then got up and said, "What should we do?" β
Tang Fang was stunned and asked, "Could it be that the United Kingdom of Tulanx also has the punishment of sitting in a row?" β
One of the middle-aged men with a stab-haired head replied: "Ordinary employees will naturally not be implicated, the key is that we are all relatives and friends of Philips and Benny Sr...... I thought you would settle the matter peacefully through Prince Henrietta's relationship, but if it was a prison robbery, it was hard to guarantee that it would not anger Sulbacho. Although Philips and Benny Sr. have no relatives in 'Etiah', it does not mean that Sulbacho is willing to be humiliated and will not reach out to 'Kelsuha'. β
In his opinion, Tang Fang's use of forcible robbery to save Philips and Benny Sr. in such a sensitive period is a humiliation for Surbachgio, if he can negotiate in the name of "Morning Star Casting", maybe he can save the lives of Philips and Benny Sr. through formal channels.
Tang Fang frowned and explained, "I don't have that much time to deal with Sulbacho, the war between the Star Alliance and the Sulu Empire and the Mengya Empire is very likely to start in the next 2-3 months, so I can only do this." β
"There's no point in worrying about Sulbacho pursuing it now. 1. Saving people comes first. β
Several managers nodded and said no more. Since Tang Fang said so, when he rescued Philips and old Benny, he would arrange for everyone to go back, but it was a pity that the foundation of the merchant group in "Etiah" might fall. Of course, those things outside of the body are nothing compared to life.
Next, Tang Fang took Irma, Aros, and Roy to Kandal Island. Zhou Ai accompanied Freya at the hotel, waiting for several managers to pick up the family.
On the way from the city to the outskirts of the city, Irma still asked the words that were holding back in her heart, because Tang Fang came too quickly and too easily, just like going back to his back garden.
A few days ago, he was far away in the Covenant's Dilar star system, and a few days later he suddenly appeared in front of her, like in a dream.
Aros sat in the main driver and had time to smoke. There was no time to answer her question, only through the gap in the smoke cloud, I could see his delicate side face.
Tang Fang sat in the co-pilot, frowning deeply, looking a little unhappy, I don't know if it was because of the annoying rescue mission, or because of Aros's annoying behavior without public morality.
Secondhand smoke is always a nuisance, isn't it? At least Elma didn't like it.
Roy was very honest and felt that others had asked questions. It is necessary for him to explain a few words for Brother Tang, this is the minimum principle of life.
"That...... In fact, it was the 'Morning Star' that dragged down the 'Seraph'. The 8.6 tempo level is too slow. β
If Bai Hao was present, he would definitely say cool things again, because Roy was too real, and it was Irma who was to lose, if it was someone else, wouldn't it be tantamount to revealing the secrets of the "Morning Star" and the "Seraph".
It's a pity that Bai Hao wasn't there. Irma pinched his face and said, "Are you kid sarcastic?" 8.6 is still called slow? Do you want to say that I don't know? β
Roy was stunned, letting Irma's hand slap his face flat and round like a stuffed animal, finally knowing why she was a good match with Hausen.
He suddenly wanted Linglong, Linglong wouldn't play with his face like this. Albeit...... It's pretty cool.
Irma pinched for a while, and suddenly remembered that Tang Fang and Aros were in the front row, so she quickly withdrew her hands and pretended to be a lady, lest Captain Tang tell this to Dear Uncle Benny, and if it didn't happen, he would be grounded again, which would be bad.
Aros had a cigar in his mouth, and the soot was spilled everywhere as the car turned.
Tang Fang wiped off the soot stained on his trouser legs, and muttered as if chanting: "Zhengtai has three treasures, innocent, cute, and good-skinned." β
Irma smiled a little awkwardly, thinking that Roy was more naΓ―ve, and it was not bad to say that he was honest and cute, but his skin was good? It's a bit dark!
At this moment, Tang Fang turned his head suddenly, looked at the two people in the back row and smiled slightly, and said, "Roy's last treasure should be 'whoever uses it knows'." β
Roy blinked and said blankly, "Brother Tang, what are you talking about?" β
Irma looked puzzled: "What do you mean?" β
He winked at her, and his gaze fell on Roy's right hand: "You have to ask Linglong about this." β
"......" Irma felt that Captain Tang was teasing her.
As soon as Roy heard that it was about Linglong, he became very excited, and asked, "Brother Tang, what do you want Linglong?" β
Irma was a little unbearable and pushed Roy back to his seat: "When you grow up in two years, you will understand." β
Roy scratched his scalp and muttered quietly, "Who knows?" Ask Linglong? "Thinking about whether to ask Linglong, what is the Three Treasures of Zhengtai, and what does "who uses it knows" means.
"Here we are." Aros interrupted the 3 chaotic conversation, parked the maglev car in a no-man's land on the beach, and dodged out of the cab, his face as calm as an abyss, and he did not react to the conversation of the three people just now.
Irma then realized that there was no dock, no ship, no aircraft, and in front of her was a desolate gravel beach, the sea dancing in the sky, and countless cheerful waves kissing the slippery reef again and again.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Aren't you going to Kandal Island? β
Tang Fang got out of the carriage and glanced into the sky.
Just then, Irma hears a slight sound of turbines, and two rope ladders fall from the sky.
She looked up, the sky was blue, there was obviously nothing, and the two rope ladders seemed to extend from nothingness.
Just as she was in a daze, Tang Fang and Roy had already grabbed the rope ladder and ascended to the sky, and finally disappeared.
Aros walked up to her, grabbed the undulating rope ladder with one hand, hugged her waist without waiting for her to react, and rose into the sky with the screams of a girl.
It wasn't until she entered the inside of the Banshee fighter that Irma realized that at the end of the rope ladder were actually 2 stealth fighters.
As for Captain Tang's ability, she only stayed at the little information revealed by Haosen's occasional leakage, and vaguely felt that he had a lot of energy, and the "Mubarak" battle also fully illustrated this, but she never expected that it would be so powerful that there were actually 2 stealth fighters hidden in "Etiya".
With the current level of science and technology, space-based radar and optical cameras will sweep over the planetary ground every minute and every second, and no unofficial large-scale combat equipment can hide from the planetary defense department, but looking at the fighter plane in the cockpit, looking at the female pilot in leather armor with a pair of charming big breasts, she feels incredible, and a little jealous.
