In fact, she really didn't have a headache about this matter, not because Aros didn't say goodbye not long after returning to the Dillard star system, this time she didn't even leave a note, and it wasn't because the Star Alliance government's investigation of Ward Heavy Industries, Iga Industrial and other military enterprises has expanded, and there is a tendency to be difficult to recover under the boiling public opinion, and even the Morningstar Casting, which has not yet been officially put into production, has also been affected. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Her headache was that it had been 1 month since the Merlin incident, and the Fallen Angel had never sent a request for contact, and the communication connection sent by the Dillard star system had also been lost, and there was no response.

He ...... It's okay, nothing will happen. ”

She had secretly sent a search team to the Tartarus Abyss to search for the last remaining area of the Fallen Angel, but the results were disappointing, no relevant clues were found, and the Fallen Angel seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Not having any discovery is also a good thing to some extent, at least it can't prove that the Fallen Angel was destroyed, Tang Fang and others were killed------ she can only comfort herself with this method.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army and not cause chaos, she concealed the loss of contact with the Fallen Angel, and only said that the Tang side had other important things to do and could not come back for a while.

The people who had followed the Tang side since the Battle of Crotan were well aware of the existence of the Lost Land, and they all thought that he had gone there, so naturally they didn't think much about it. Only Byron, Grant and a few other people knew about the loss of contact between the Fallen Angel and the Dillard star system, and even Tang Yun was kept in the dark.

A month passed, and Tang Fang did not return.

Two months have passed, and the Tang side has not returned.

Three months have passed, and there is still no sign of the return of the fallen angel.

In the fourth month, the focus of public opinion shifted from the marksmanship competition that took place in Mei Linxing to the Star Alliance Supervisory Body's response to Hirohiko Iga and Swain? Bourne and other military-industrial giants are investigating. Adam? Oliver and the others originally just planned to knock the managers of these military industrial enterprises and make Iga Hirohiko and others more obedient and understand the overall situation, but they never thought that the intervention of the court agency would make the matter bigger and bigger.

Before the Covenant declared war on the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire, when the Parliament decided on a series of important matters, the justices responded to Adam? Oliver's advocacy of a shift to wartime politics is a nuisance, because once wartime politics is entered, the power of the court institutions is significantly weakened.

Although the old guys made concessions at the last minute, they were still a little unhappy. Adam? Oliver believes that the most fundamental reason for the expansion of the investigation is that the old guys use the topic to play to enhance their own presence. The Star Covenant is now a wartime political thing, because of the previous betrayal of the Covenant, the Tang side looks at Terry? Ferdinand did not hold the Covenant government accountable too much, but the prestige of the Liberal politicians led by him was greatly damaged, and there was a crisis of confidence in both civil society and grassroots government institutions.

In this environment, he did not dare to use his status as the president of the Star Alliance to restrain the old people in the court system, so as not to cause another political storm. As a result, while the navies of the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire were standing still, and there was no external crisis for the time being, the Star Alliance was experiencing an internal turmoil...... In fact, it is not a turmoil, perhaps it is more accurate to describe it as an undercurrent.

Adam? Oliver thought so, but as the events continued to ferment, he gradually realized that things were not as simple as he imagined. The justices had the idea of giving him a little color to see, but there were more complicated factors behind it. For example, pressure from public opinion, such as occupational diseases.

In fact, it is an invisible hand behind the current situation that has brought these factors together.

The defeat of the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire's military operations in the two no-man's lands, and the loss of many dark chess pieces in the storm of government caused by the previous renegade of the Covenant, does not mean that they will accept the lesson and honestly lie dormant.

As the saying goes, offense is always the best means of defense. He admired the enemy's think tank, and after suffering such a defeat, he found a new entry point to attack.

In the face of Hirohiko Iga, Swan? One of the charges against Byrne and others was treason against an enemy. This is not groundless, you must know that the military will more or less enter into technical cooperation with some military-industrial enterprises in order to develop new weapons systems. As commercial organizations pursuing economic interests, it is difficult to guarantee that the Iga Industries, Ward Heavy Industries, and Rover Technology Consortium will not directly sell related technologies or arms containing related technologies to unknown persons for the sake of attractive profits.

Many of the merchants who procure these weapons negotiate in the name of mercenaries, but only the gods know if they have another identity. Merchants obviously don't care about the identity of mercenaries, anyway, it is the responsibility of the government department, and even if something goes wrong, they can't blame themselves...... Some military enterprises will even help customers to break through the government joints, so as to sell large quantities of arms to make huge profits.

Although most of the weapons are outdated compared to naval equipment, it is undeniable that they have a strong Covenant style, and falling into the hands of potential enemies such as the Sulu Empire and the Mengya Empire will undoubtedly bring unforeseen risks.

In the past, when there was no war, many people chose to turn a blind eye in view of the cooperative relationship between various military enterprises and the government. Now in a time of war, Iga Hirohiko and others kicked Adam hard in the renegade incident? Oliver and others kicked him, which in turn led to joint sanctions from the Liberal Party and the Republican Party.

In this case, the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire did not try to rescue their business partners, nor did they sit on the sidelines, but chose to add fuel to the fire.

Just as Hirohiko Iga and others kicked the Adam government in the incident of breaking the covenant, they also tasted the knife stabbed in the back by the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire.

Evidence of irregular transactions between some pseudo-mercenary groups and military enterprises such as the Rover Technology Consortium and Iga Industrial appeared on the desks of some media professionals and independent prosecutors, and there were even materials on the military enterprises to help customers evade government investigations in order to facilitate transactions.

More and more scandals between government agencies and the military-industrial complex are known to the public, and in this case the investigators of the independent investigative agency want to follow the rules of Adam? Oliver's meaning: It's impossible to make a big thing a small thing. But because of Tang Fang's frame-up, Iga Hirohiko and Sven? Bourne, Komodo? In the face of the ironclad evidence placed on the table by the investigators, in order to exonerate themselves as much as possible, they chose to betray the people who had accepted corporate bribes within the government, from the clerks of the institutions to the leaders of the real power departments of the state, one by one, so the case was like a snowball, involving more and more people, and the scope of influence was getting bigger and bigger, and even those justices did not know how to end the political turmoil that began with the assassination of Captain Tang.

As Jian Chen summed it up, "He always makes big news." ”

The fourth month passed in this turmoil, and there was still no news from the Tang side.

In the fifth month, Kylinia lost a lot of weight and began to fidget. Tang Yun seemed to sense something, pestering her to ask about her eldest brother, which made her more and more headache, and she didn't know how to explain it.

Five months is a relatively long time for space travel, not a long time. However, this is aimed at the warp speed navigation level of the sovereign state's own ships, with the power of the Tang side and the performance of the Fallen Angel, it has not appeared in public for five months, even if Kylinia, Grant and others swear that he is carrying out a secret mission, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

Fortunately, the Star Alliance government's investigation of the military-industrial giants intensified and almost could not be ended, reducing the world's attention to the Morning Star Casting, and at the same time, an incident in the Phoenix Empire set off another wave of discussion, once again weakening people's enthusiasm for Captain Tang.

Emperor Virginia of the Phoenix Empire? Alexander suddenly appeared in the Sdela star system, where Morris was inhabited in large numbers, to offer condolences to some of the elderly who had rarely survived the age of 40, and promised to abolish the ban on Morrisnu from joining the army, giving them a broader space for development and a better working environment.

After leaving the Sderia star system, which is heavily populated by Morrisnus, he travels to the nearby Sandenes star system, where he visits the largest space plantation and a top-ranked university in the Empire, and gives an impromptu lecture detailing his vision of GE change, including broadening the promotion pathways for the people at the bottom; the implementation of the last elimination system and public opinion evaluation system for officials; restricting and regulating the privileges of the nobility and the military; the establishment of new institutions to increase supervision and restraint of law enforcement agencies; the development of clearer and more regulated laws; More protection and preferential treatment for the Morris......

It was no surprise that his actions and speeches caused a political storm within the Phoenix Empire, and also attracted the attention of many foreign countries. No one would have thought that His Majesty the Holy Emperor, who was known for his domineering and arrogantness, would have such thoughts, as if he had suddenly become a different person, completely subverting the people's impression of him.

Although he does not rule out the possibility of acting, but unlike in the past, these words are not as full of false and empty characteristics as the National Day speech, and have a strong clarity, no matter from what point of view, it is a kind of progress, a kind of change, although the scale is not large, at least he has the intention of moving forward.

Could it be that His Majesty the "great" Holy Emperor suddenly realized that he wanted to have a vigorous political campaign to reform the face of the country?

Many people draw a big question mark in their hearts, expecting him to send a more obvious signal to help people determine what he really thinks, and then have a vision of the future.

What is surprising is that this fiery mind has not yet cooled, Virginia? On the way home, Alexander suddenly fell ill...... At least until His Majesty the Holy Emperor recovers, neither the people at home nor abroad will get any news about the political reform.

In this way, the sixth month after the Fallen Angel went missing, even though Kylinia, Grant and others made a lot of efforts, the rumor that "Tang Fang has not shown up for six months and is suspected of being missing" still spread in the Star Alliance society, and developed into a trend with a wide range of influence that swept across the entire Hillenbuir region.

"Captain Tang is missing?" The whole world was in an uproar, and this rumor spread at an astonishing speed, occupying the pages of small and medium-sized newspapers and online media, occupying the gossip on the streets and alleys, and occupying the work and life of many people.

"Was it a space storm that wrecked the ship and killed people? For example, a magnetar explosion, or a subspace turbulence......"

"Could it be the Supreme Council, the Dragon Whisperers, and those who did it?"

"It may also be an assassination, well, it's easy to dodge with an open gun, and it's hard to prevent from a dark arrow......"

"Hey, hey, don't you guys be so pessimistic, don't you see that the headlines of those news use questions? And it uses 'missing', not 'dead'. Morningstar Casting has clarified this rumor, don't be deceived by the reports that are used by small media without discipline to attract attention. ”

"Clarification...... Do you also believe in the clarification of the enterprise? Sometimes the grapevine is far more true than the words of the state media. I'm looking forward to what kind of ending will happen without Tang Fang's Morning Star casting. And what Garcia rebels, it's pitiful. ”

"Hehe, you're resentful because Linda compared you to Captain Tang. If he really died, it wouldn't do anyone in the Covenant any good. Do you think it was the Star Alliance Navy that scared the Mengya Imperial Navy and the Sulu Imperial Navy and didn't dare to set foot on the border? No kidding. ”

"This ...... Just talk about peace, talk about peace...... Yes, if that kid hadn't stirred up the situation, how could the Star Alliance have started a war with the Mengya Empire and the Sulu Empire, resulting in how many lives have fallen into space and how many families and wives have been separated. ”

"I remember when Mr. President issued the mobilization order, you were more excited than anyone else, if it weren't for your health that you couldn't join the army, maybe you would have been on the battlefield by now. And now again, alas, jealousy is terrible! ”

In short, this news has had a huge impact on the Covenant society, with some frustrated, some lamented, some worried, some excited, and some gloating......

Perhaps because Tang Fang's life and death could not be determined, the government did not fluctuate in its attitude towards Morning Star Casting, and still maintained the original situation, giving appropriate convenience and privileges in some areas.

Only the top of the government know how terrible that undercurrent hides beneath the surface of calm is, unlike the **** that started with civil society last time, this time it comes from a tear within.

It turns out that to Hirohiko Iga and Swain? The expansion of the investigation of Bourne and other military industrial giants has caused a series of chain reactions within the government, and many officials have developed from sincere fear at the beginning to huddling together for warmth, resisting censorship, and also showing inaction and inaction in their daily work.
