Chapter 626: No Turning Back (Part I)

The second middle school boy is for those things that are out of reach, he is for himself, and to be more accurate, it should be revenge.

Only veterans are really considered for the Tang side.

Roy was ashamed, and so was he.

Izsha hugged her thin body and didn't say a word the whole time.

The special operations transport ship soon broke out of the atmosphere of "Etiya", went into space orbit and re-launched into the abdominal cavity of Behemoth.

The Wyverns and Corruptors evacuated from Kandal Island did not return to their home camp immediately, but rushed to the location of the "Etiya" Northern Frontier Military Region under Emma's remote control, and joined the Obsidian Fleet and the Planetary Army to carry out the final cleanup work against the stubborn forces.

At the same time, after the Tang side finished the recovery of the Phoenix fighters and scout fighters, they did not return to the Golding Military Port as soon as possible to hold talks with Steinbel, Claston, and others, but rushed to the "Seraph" to pick up Freya and took the opportunity to inspect the damage.

According to the report of the combat assistance system AI, one of the six "Apostle" drones was damaged in a dispute with a hybrid warship, although it is not too serious, and the shipboard maintenance robot can carry out repair operations, but it will take a certain amount of time. In addition, the stealth system of the warship is more or less slightly damaged, and the energy transmission efficiency is reduced, and the avionics equipment, sensing system and other modules need to be shut down for maintenance.

This was the damage to the battleship, Freya was quite frightened in the late stage of the battle, and when he returned to the "Seraph", the little girl threw herself into his arms and trembled vigorously, muttering "Tang Fang, I'm afraid...... I'm scared...... I'm afraid I'll never see you again. ”

Recalling the battle situation at that time, he himself was a little frightened, let alone facing Freya who was facing a hybrid warship. She's just a child. Psychological capacity is very weak. It's okay to let her fly the "Seraph" to bully the standard warships of sovereign countries, but it is indeed difficult for her to face hybrid warships. Because the former is tantamount to a game of cat and mouse, the latter is more like a big challenge that puts your life on the line.

He could only try his best to comfort the little girl, and when she was in a better mood, he transferred to the "Morning Star" and handed it over to Kelynia to take good care of her. Then drive the "Seraph" far away from the Golding military harbor and order the combat-assisted AI to start the repair process and carry out a complete overhaul of the battleship.

After settling everything down, he took the Protoss transport plane into Golding's military harbor and went to Steinbell and Clairstone to make a plan.

When he rushed to the command center under the guidance of a major general's staff officer, the entire military port was in a mess, and there were soldiers coming and going like the wind everywhere, making every effort to deal with the aftermath.

The war came too suddenly, and ended in Sulbacho's defeat.

The recalcitrant forces in the Kernar family were not eliminated by Congreve. was killed by Captain Tang from the Star Alliance, and also implicated the Supreme Security Council and the Divine Arm, making the already complicated situation even more chaotic.

There are also sporadic firefights along the warp interception nets, and troops are urgently needed to clear them. Before the Protoss Fighter and Scott? The airspace of the fleet led by Horner needs to be cleaned up, and the fire has not been completely extinguished at the battleship dock, and it faces a huge repair work.

In addition, it is necessary to settle the hearts of the army and deal with Sulbacho's cronies. Treat the wounded and count the casualties of each fleet.

Steinbell and Chryston are busy. I feel more tired than commanding a conference battle.

It wasn't until Tang Fang arrived that the two of them showed a reluctant smile, handed over the less important work to their trusted subordinates, and entered the small conference room in the command hall with him to discuss the most important issue in the aftermath matter, how to maintain the results of this battle in the current environment.

The old duke had just died. Sulbaggio followed with death...... Or die in such a way, who will be in charge of the Duchy of Knnar next? How is this battle characterized?

After the three of them sat down, they didn't say much to each other, and they didn't even serve tea, so they chose to go straight to the point.

Clairstone didn't know what was going on on Kandal Island, and tentatively asked, "That'...... What about these people? ”

He believed that Tang Fang could understand. Because of Congreve's death, the leading figures of the Kernar family came to "Aradell" to attend the funeral, and at the same time to cheer for Surbacho.

Tang Fang looked at him with a strange expression, until the deputy commander of the garrison naval fleet who was watching was a little hairy, and then said, "It's been dealt with." ”

At the same time as the three of them sat down, the special operation transport ship carrying Izsha, Aros and others was sailing out of the atmosphere of "Etiya", and the departure of her and Aros marked the completion of the matter on Kandal Island.

He didn't tell Izsha how to deal with Amanda's people, he knew she wouldn't be relentless, because she was born in Maurice, because she was Izsha.

Again, countering violence with violence may not be the best way to punish the wicked, but in many cases it is the simplest and most effective way.

The swarm of biowarships safely crossed the warp interception net on the border of the United Kingdom of Turanx, appeared in the Aladell star system, and killed Surbacho, the new head of the Duke of Kernar.

Such a thing will definitely attract the attention of the countries and shock the top of the government, and the great nobles of the special countries such as the Mengya Empire and the Sulu Empire are all in danger, and then regard him as a powerful threat and want to get rid of him as soon as possible.

The example erected in Mubarak is not enough, his methods are strong enough, but not ruthless enough.

As Surbacho said, his attack on the Aradel star system is bound to anger Zanggovil and the rest of the great nobles of the United Kingdom of Turanks, and it may lead to a national war, and the Star Alliance already has two great enemies, and there is no need or obligation to stand up for him.

He had to let those with the golden scepter in their hands know that he was not only powerful, but also a ruthless man, and whoever dared to easily provoke the "Morning Star Forge" would have their future end.

People like Sulbacho hang butcher's knives over the heads of civilians and maintain their rule with violence and fear. Shouldn't they be given a taste of that?

He would love to be that.

The aristocracy did not have to pay labor, through power, through the exploitation of hundreds of millions of people by force, to enjoy the people's fat and ointment, and to enjoy the blood and sweat of the people.

Just like he thought when he killed Sulbaggio, he wanted justice. I also want others to be fair.

If there is a give, there should be a return, and if there is a demand, there should be a price.

He is willing to be the sword of sanctions, and he has always done so.

This is a bit of a secondary two, and some of it is taken for granted. It's also kind of funny.

But in life, people always have to do something meaningful within their means...... At least I think it makes sense, doesn't it? What's more, doing so can better protect the "Morning Star Casting" and better protect the people around you, so why not?

"It's been dealt with...... The ...... has been dealt with."

Claston whispered twice, gradually understanding the meaning of his words, and suddenly stood up from the other side of the conference table, and said in a somewhat trembling voice, "You mean ......?"

To be honest, what will the Tang side do with Amanda? Krivat those people. He was mentally prepared in advance. However, when I heard such news in person, I still couldn't control my emotions.

Those in the palace of Dengle make up the entire dukedom of heaven.

Now, the sky has fallen.

The Sky Breaker was right in front of him, gently tearing the barbs on both sides of his fingernails, frowning slightly, looking a little painful.

Steinbell sighed, the expression on his face complicated. There are many emotions, and there are many emotions.

"Have you thought about it? Who will take control of the Duchy of Kernar after Surbacho's death? ”

Compared to Claston, his questions are more practical and realistic.

The corners of Tang Fang's mouth twitched, hissing, and it felt like a pinprick, but he finally solved the problem that had plagued him for a long time. He looked up into Steinbel's eyes and said, "I'd like to hear what you have to say." ”

After all, he was an outsider, and he didn't know much about the situation in the dukedom, so it was better to listen to the opinions of the two old men before making a decision.

Steinbell said: "The old duke also has some supporters within the Knarr family, but these people are either incompetent. Either out of selfishness, if the dukedom is handed over to them, it may not be a good thing. In addition, not all the people who opposed the reform came to 'Aradell', and those who were far away in 'Josanne' would certainly not sit idly by. Although the Edward fleet was no longer a concern, they could borrow troops from other princes, or ask Zangwell to send troops to fight against them. ”

Selfish?

Tang Fang understood after a little thought. The members of the big aristocratic family like the Kernar family will be uneven, and it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps and hostility to each other.

Some people gain power, others will lose power, and those who gain power will run rampant, and those who lose power will naturally hold a grudge and try to take revenge, and even deliberately instigate the contradictions between Congreeve and the anti-reformers for fear that the world will not be chaotic.

If you don't say how to say that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, many family trivial things are the epitome of a large picture of society.

Of course, Tang Fang was in no mood to care about the messy membership of the Knarr family. He asked something that Steinbell and Claston did not expect: "Old Duke...... Don't have an illegitimate child? ”

Claxton sat back, his mouth open almost as much as a pear.

The corners of Steinbel's mouth twitched slightly, and he found that the kid on the other side was a scourge, pure natural, pollution-free, no preservatives, no pesticide residues, so pure that it could no longer be a pure scourge, just by his mouth...... Oh, no, it's a clear heart of the city, and the style of being honest and frank is really laughable.

"Do I have flowers on my face?" He said seriously: "Yes or no?" ”

Claxton looked at him with a complicated expression and said in a very strange tone, "Yes." ”

Tang Fang said: "I'll just say it." ”

Cliston added: "But ...... It's a girl, I'm only 15 years old. ”

"Huh?" This time, it was Captain Tang's turn to be stunned, and said for a long time: "He...... Well, the body is so good. ”

Congreve is almost 80 years old, and the illegitimate child is only 15 years old...... Of course the body is good.

Steinbell and Claiston are going crazy, is that the point? Is that the point? Is that the point?

Say the important thing three times!

"I'm curious, how did you know he had an illegitimate child...... No, it's an illegitimate daughter. ”

Claiston was about to break down, and he frowned and said, "You...... Usually so gossipy? ”

"Huh...... Hehe...... Hehehe. He laughed dryly a few times and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm curious." ”

Steinbell couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "The old duke has two daughters, the eldest daughter is named Grantis, and she is married to the Sauron Empire. Youngest daughter...... Ahem. That is, the illegitimate daughter in your mouth, named Elena? Patsy is now on a study tour of Charles Commonwealth. ”

"Elena? Parsee? Tang Fang felt that she should follow her motherhood.

Steinbell said: "You also know that in recent years, the conflict between the old duke and the forces in the clan has intensified, no matter how much you love her, for the sake of the overall situation. had to be cautious, and even ruthlessly sent her out of the country. ”

Tang Fang smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. ”

Steinbel's face was a black mess.

Claston patted his forehead, looking distressed, and said in his heart how a good battle meeting could become a gossip story meeting, the script shouldn't be like this.

"Don ...... Sir, Miss Elena has nothing to do with the subject of this meeting. ”

He wanted to call Tang boy, and felt a bit of a sense of closeness. Captain Don? It's out of place, Chairman Tang? The style of painting is wrong, just call it by its name? A bit rude. After thinking about it, I finally used a more neutral word like "Mr. Tang".

"Who said it doesn't matter, of course it does." He put away his smile and said solemnly, "Isn't Miss Elena the heir to the dukedom?" ”

Claxton's jaw hit the edge of the table, and he thought to himself, this kid is really a scourge.

There is no shortage of female lords throughout history, and even now, there are several female dukes in the United Kingdom of Turanax. But they are in a completely different situation with Elena.

First of all, those barons are older. The youngest, Duke Edwina, is also 48 years old, while Elena is only 15 years old, not yet an adult in the strict sense of the word. Secondly, they have the support of family forces, does Alina have supporters? No...... She only has seven bodyguards. Finally, those duchesses in front were of noble birth. Unlike Elena, who is an illegitimate daughter, even if her brothers are dead. The old men of the Kernar family would not have agreed to her succession.

"It's hard." Steinbell said.

"It's hard." "It's impossible," Cliston said. ”

This kind of thing will not only be disagreed with by the anti-reformers, but also by those who ignore it, including some vassal families. Zangowell would not approve of such an approach.

Tang Fang said: "The most important thing you should ask is not what those people think, but the wishes of Elena herself. ”

Steinbell was silent.

Clerston continued: "This matter is so widespread that it is simply an impossible task that the domestic diehards will not agree to. ”

"Do you need their consent? Externally, this is the internal affair of the Kernar family, and internally, it is factional strife. Whoever controls the army is most likely to win, and in whose hands is the army now? ”

Claiston and Steinbell looked at each other: "That would cause a shock in the situation, or even a political storm, or even a civil war." ”

Edward's fleet was defeated in the "Etiya" space battle, and the Josenna star system also had a garrison naval fleet firmly in the hands of the diehards, and some small vassal families secretly stockpiled small armed fleets, such as Amanda's Krivat family.

They would not ignore the changes that had happened to "Aradel", and they would not have been able to approve of a lowly illegitimate daughter inheriting the dukedom.

If Elena is allowed to inherit the title according to his wishes, it is tantamount to driving them to a dead end, which will inevitably lead to war.

Tang Fang said coldly: "Isn't what is happening right now just a civil war? ”

Claxton opened his mouth to defend himself, only to find that his excuse was so clumsy, so weak.

He and Steinbell thought it was a coup d'Γ©tat, but the death of Sulbacho, the death of Amanda and others, and the destruction of Edward's fleet all fully illustrate one thing, this degree has gone far beyond a coup d'Γ©tat, and is closer to a war.

To be honest, when he did that with Steinbel, the starting point was very complicated, there was anger, there was also ambition, some gamblers, some idealism. There is simply no time or energy to think about how to wrap things up and what the beneficial or negative effects will be.

At this time, when he heard Captain Tang's question, he came to his senses.

If the guy on the other side stabbed the sky in the Dukedom of Kernar, the two of them, along with Carter? Bonaroti is the man who goes down the escalator.

"There is no turning back from the bow."

When he said this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his whole body exuded a cold edge like a sheathed sword, which was in stark contrast to the gossip appearance before.

"Reforms often come to a standstill at the last minute, or even collapse in one fell swoop. Like the darkness before dawn, it is the coldest and most silent moment, either dying silently or witnessing the sun leap over the horizon. ”

"When a spiritual leader like the old duke dies, what you need to do now, or what you can do, is not reform, but revolution, and get rid of the lives of all those who dare to stand in the way of reform."

"This is not only to save the life of the 'reformer,' but also to save the life of the 'reformer.'"

"You have no way out, you have no choice."

When he said the last sentence, his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, like the morning light sweeping through the haze, radiating a brighter light than a chandelier.

The conference room became silent, as if the sound of dust could be heard.

Steinbell and Clairstone sat there without saying a word.

Tang Fang was right, after Congreve's death, there was no way out for those of them who supported reform, and revolution was their only choice. However, this is the most difficult step to take, and it is true that they are the right-hand men of the old duke, which does not mean that they have enough political influence to make it difficult for many reform forces to twist into a rope, and if they force revolution, it will inevitably cause social unrest and even chaos.
