Tang Fang seemed to know what they were thinking and what kind of concerns they had, his cold expression gradually softened, and he said calmly, "That's why you need Elena." ”

"Have you ever wondered why the old duke sent her abroad to study in the Charles Commonwealth, just to avoid being vindicated?"

The two of them were stunned when they heard this, pondered it carefully, and gradually tasted something else.

Sulbacho and Gil Hassan both grew up in China, accustomed to a life of fine clothes and food, and hugged each other, what was the result? They should have inherited their father's will, but instead stood on the opposite side of reform.

Is this just a travesty? I'm afraid it's more of a lesson for the old duke.

If you think about it this way, sending Elena to Charles Commonwealth to study has become an intriguing thing, as a duke, he has many ways to hide the existence of his illegitimate daughter, you must know that the current world background is the cosmic sea, not the global village, and it is easy to hide the existence of one or two people.

Why did he let people know about Elena's existence? Why let her go on a study tour of the Charles Confederation, not Kehanos, the capital of the United Kingdom of Tulanx, not the Sauron Empire, not the Republic of Ida?

"Do you mean...... Did the Duke do this to train Elena to be his successor? ”

Congreve didn't expect that Curobakino would be bribed by the Divine Armed Forces to harm him in such a way, and if it weren't for that, he would have had enough time to wait until Elena came of age.

She grew up in the Charles Federation and embraced the values of democracy and freedom, so that she will definitely become his unwavering supporter and heir to the will to reform when she grows up. And because of the background of an illegitimate daughter, she will be squeezed out by the stubborn forces of the Kernar family, and she will gain the sympathy of the public. At the same time, it will unite the people.

Since the old duke dared to touch the core interests of the aristocracy and implement reforms, he must also dare to make a fuss about the issue of heirs. In the future, Elena will grow rapidly under his escort, slowly surpassing Surbacho and Gil Hassan, defeating and consuming those opposition elders, and then taking full control of the dukedom.

It's just a pity that he died suddenly. didn't have time to leave a single word, and even their henchmen and generals didn't know the deep meaning of this series of measures. At this moment, he was woken up by Tang Fang, and suddenly there was a feeling of seeing the sun.

Originally...... The old duke had already prepared.

If Congreve used to be their backbone, now they have to add an "idol" halo.

As for Captain Tang, whether it is Steinbell or Claston, after thinking about it, I think it is very appropriate to use the word "little monster" to describe it.

Knowing that Elena is the successor secretly cultivated by Congreve, the two seem to have been shot in the arm. The higher the spirit, because it is not only the continuation of the old duke's will, but also the light of reform and hope.

Clairstone suddenly showed a worried expression: "Elena is only 15 years old now, isn't she a little younger?" ”

Tang Fang said: "It's not small, you can marry people in the Mengya Empire." ”

Clairstone thought for a moment and asked, "As far as I know, you're not married." ”

"You want to arrange an arrangement?"

Tang Fang said loudly: "This is a crime!" ”

"Hahahaha." The two old fellows were wrinkled with laughter, and Cliston continued to tease him: "You are not happy about the good things that you can't find with a lantern." ”

"I don't like little girls."

Steinbell teased, "You can wait for her to grow up." Two or three years, very quickly. ”

He looked at the two of them with a very unhappy expression. Raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you guys selling goods?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Cliston laughed, "We're hugging our thighs." ”

Tang Fangzhen looked down at his thighs, then folded his fingers and calculated, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, the tickets are sold out, do you want a standing ticket?" ”

Claxton seems to be addicted to playing with him. Shaking his head and saying, "As a young lady, how can you have a first-class cabin." ”

Tang Fangyi said in words: "You are shameless. ”

Steinbell hugged his stomach and laughed, not wanting to listen to the two of them anymore, so he turned the topic back on track: "Do you think Miss will agree to come back?" ”

"It's not a big problem," Cliston said. Lieutenant General Carter should be more familiar with Miss's situation. ”

Steinbell nodded, and turned his gaze to Tang Fang again: "There are two other questions. When will 'Josenner' be dispatched? We would not be unhappy with Zangowell in doing so. What if he doesn't recognize Miss Elena's identity and insists on sending troops to quell the rebellion? You know, although the princes of the United Kingdom of Tulanx have a high degree of autonomy over their realms, and the king has no power to meddle in the internal affairs of the princes' realms, if the majority of the seats in the United Council approve it, it will become a matter of state from the internal affairs of the dukedom. ”

"If Surbacho, Amanda and the others were still alive, the situation might be better, but unfortunately now it is the subordinate officers who collude with outsiders to rebel against the lord, even if Prince Henrietta is involved, I am afraid it will not help."

Steinbel's questioning was also the voice of Claxton's heart, just like the joke just now, which seemed to be a joke, but it was not a true portrayal of their psychological activities.

Don't look at the battle of "Aradel" ended in the victory of the reformers, in fact, such a victory has no meaning, if you use the geographical hierarchy of the earth's calendar, "Aradel" is just a small town, as long as the United Council passes the sanction resolution, even if only one-third of the princes vote in favor, Zangowell can use the royal fleet to put down the rebellion.

The obsidian fleet, as well as the incomplete Amber Fleet and the "Aradel" garrison naval fleet, are simply a mantis arm in the face of Zanggowell's crusade legions.

So "hugging the thigh" is not a joke, they have no other way but to cry and shout and hug Captain Tang's thigh, so that they can have a chance to live.

As a force that can match the mixed warship, and as a solid ally of Prince Henrietta, he has enough capital to give Zan Gowell the middle finger and scold F, UCK, YOUR, ASS.

Tang Fang was actually speechless, the same feeling, the same taste.

He is always inexplicably drawn into all kinds of political battles, and then faces all kinds of gods to unfold.

Saving a person provoked God's armament, the thief of the wisdom core encountered the devourer, attacked the "Golding" and crashed into the hybrid warship, and now he is facing the danger of being arranged by someone. The helplessness of being hugged on the thighs.

Good people do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west. This sentence is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.

"Aradel"'s ass is not easy to rub......

If you think about it carefully, time is really a god, and a few months ago he was calculated by a small character like Wei Haitao and framed by Francis. A few months later, he was playing chess pieces against characters like Henrietta and Zangowell.

"Alas!" He sighed heavily, thinking that there was a certainty in the dark.

He blew up Congreve's body and stole Zhixin, which indirectly led to Meng Haoyu, McDowell and others being cut off.

He owes something to the old duke, and he owes something to the reformers.

Now, in the face of the post-war "Aradel", how to help Steinbell and Claston get out of the predicament, and how to make the reform of the duchess continue. Since he chose to start and finish well, he had to shoulder such a burden.

"There is no hurry to send troops to 'Josenna'."

"Not in a hurry?" Clairstone disagreed: "I think it's best to strike right away, and take the diehards by surprise before they can react, and completely control the entire dukedom." ”

The Josenna star system is very close to the Aradel star system, less than 4 light-years, and if you decide to attack, you can take "Josenna" in a week.

Claiston feared that if it dragged on, the remnants of the die-hard Kernar family would borrow troops from nearby princes. In that case, you will inevitably fall into passivity.

Steinbell agrees: "I think it's too sooner rather than later. ”

Tang Fang said: "It's okay, it's just to give them a chance to breathe." It is best that the whole United Kingdom of Turanx knows about the Duchy of Kernar. ”

"What the hell are you up to?"

Claiston was an anxious man, and he knew that the little fox across from him must be using his brain.

"When the time comes, I will assign Behemoth to assist you in attacking 'Josanna'."

He said slowly, "The premise is that everything must be done according to me." ”

The deputy commander was very excited, there were living warships to join, not to mention that "Jossenna" only had a garrison naval fleet of 500 warships, even if the diehards really borrowed the Arctic Wind fleet from the Marquis Robinson, who had always been good friends with them, to assist in the defense. Faced with the living warships that buried the Legion of Doom, the fate of Edward's fleet is a portrayal of the future of the defenders of "Josanna".

Compared to Claston, Steinbell was more steady, and he didn't waste much energy on the news that the living battleship would enter the battle. Instead, he focused on Tang Fang's last sentence - "The premise is that everything must be done according to me." ”

What does this phrase represent? He wanted to intervene in all the internal and external affairs of the Duke of Kernar, in other words, Captain Tang had already lifted his trousers, revealing his thick legs full of leg hair, just waiting for them to pounce.

"We'll listen to you for everything."

Hearing this, Clairton came to his senses, nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, we all listen to you." ”

If it were replaced by another young man, the deputy commander would have kicked it over a long time ago, scolding: "Get out", I don't know if the guards will lock up the guy who speaks wildly for a few days, and have a good understanding of life.

In the face of Captain Tang, even if the two of them are old enough to be his grandfather, they dare not rely on the old and sell the old at all.

That guy is simply a personal elf, and the things in his head are enough to stun a rectal warrior like them 108,000 times, but he also holds a sword full of force value judgment, what deputy commander of the garrison navy, what rear admiral, lieutenant general, in front of him is not much different from ordinary civilians.

After Congreve's death, the reformers were leaderless, and some of them were killed by Sulbacho and some surrendered, and there were not many people available except for a few of their old ministers.

Even if Surbacho, Amanda, Gil Hassan and others are dead, Edward's fleet is completely annihilated, and the hostile forces of "Aradar" are swept away, from the perspective of the overall situation, it can be called embattled, and there is no future at all.

At such a critical moment, Captain Tang stretched out a thigh, they didn't hug it when they were stupid, they refused when they were idiots, and it was only when they were two hundred and five that they held their own identities.

In order for their own people to survive, for Elena to inherit the dukedom, and for the reform to continue, they did not hesitate to choose to obey.

They knew that the guy on the other side who looked like a hanger was not a duke at all, or rather, he didn't care about power, wealth or anything at all, he just relied on his preferences, to be precise. It is to walk with an upright heart.

There is no shame in bowing your head to such a person, even if he is a young man with grandchildren.

It's an honor for those who have a sincere heart.

"Now the priority is to bring Miss Elena back from the Charles Federation. The second is the aftermath of the 'Aradel', especially the repair and maintenance of military facilities and warships. There is also a series of work such as comfort measures for the people of 'Etiya' and the disposal of the wounded. ”

"Oh, by the way, those nobles and envoys who came to attend the funeral of the old duke should be politely repatriated as soon as possible."

Steinbell pondered for a moment, showing an embarrassed expression: "Everything else is easy to do, only the matter of bringing Miss Elena back from the Charles Federation is a little difficult, even if she agrees to return to the United Kingdom of Tulanx to inherit the title and immediately take the fastest shuttle to return home, it will take more than 1 month to arrive." Will this have some adverse effects on your plans? ”

He didn't know the specific plan of the Tang side, but he knew that more than one month was enough time for Zangowell to convene a joint council and pass a counterinsurgency resolution to drive the crusade fleet to the door of the Aradel star system.

"I'll send Behemoth to your aid."

"Behemoth?" Clairston had a strange expression, and he looked like he wanted to say something.

It is well known that the larger the ship, the greater the load on the warp engine, generally speaking. Large ships have a much lower warp speed level than smaller ships, with a Behemoth body up to 10 kilometers long. How fast can it go? Can it be faster than a high-speed shuttle?

In addition, Elena's journey from Charles Federation to the United Kingdom of Turanx is a one-way trip, and if Behemoth picks it up, it is a two-way trip, and the distance is doubled, and the time consumption is naturally lengthened.

At last. It's really a bit ...... to pick up people with a big guy like Behemoth No, not a little, it's very arrogant. Even if the Charles Federation has a good relationship with the Star Alliance, I am afraid that Captain Tang will not be happy to do this.

Of course, Tang Fang will not talk nonsense with him. said: "Go and arrange the answering personnel, my brother Tang Lin will walk with you." ”

Behemoth's warp speed rating can reach up to 9.8, and even if it is a two-way trip, it should be able to control the range to about 20 days, which is much faster than what Steinbell calls a high-speed shuttle.

As for whether this is too ostentatious, it is not a big deal. Arriving in the territory of Charles Federation, Behemoth can wait in deep space, using the special operations transport ship as a short-distance passenger vehicle, which is both stealthy and fast.

"Why are you still stunned?"

Seeing Claxton's hesitation, he frowned and reminded.

The deputy commander shook his head and stood up with a smack, as fast as a young man. Although he didn't know Tang Fang's plan, he clearly remembered the conversation just now, so he didn't hesitate anymore and walked out of the conference room quickly to arrange for the right person to pick up Elena from Charles Commonwealth.

Steinbell said, "Can you stop doing this?" Curiosity is torture. ”

He didn't say when to send troops, he didn't say how to deal with Zangowell, and he still didn't say what hole cards Behemoth had, for a normal person, it was inevitable that he would have doubts.

"I'm a low-key person."

Steinbell had the urge to strangle him, was there a difference between such a low profile and a flamboyant?

Tang Fang suddenly changed the topic: "The battle with the hybrid warship costs a lot, and I need a lot of zero elements. ”

Steinbell returned to calm: "There are about 300 tons of zero element stocks in the energy reserve warehouse at the Golding Military Port. ”

"Only 300 tons?"

"Talent...... 300 tons? Steinbell was speechless for a while: "If it's not enough, the obsidian fleet may be able to subsidize some, 100 tons should be fine, and if it's not enough, it can only be transferred from government agencies at all levels and mineral dealers at all levels of 'Etiah'." ”

Thinking of a military point like "Mubarak", with nearly 4,000 warships stationed in the Legion of Eye, and only a little more than 1,000 tons of zero element reserves, it is natural that "Aradell", as the hinterland of the United Kingdom of Turanks, can have 500 tons of zero element stocks.

Before the start of the battle, the production of a hundred ghost fighters and a certain number of devourers and air guards consumed tens of thousands of gas resources, and now the gas value in the system is less than 250,000, and the neural tree of the hybrid battleship in addition to unlocking the spore turret and phage, it also activates the hidden element, and the situation is exactly the same as the unlocking process of Behemoth, God knows how much that thing will cost after unlocking, and whether it will require 10 million crystals and 10 million gas like its predecessors.

He needed zero prime, a lot of zero prime, just let him empty the zero element inventory of the Aradel star system and felt that he couldn't go, after pondering for a while, he decided to take a step back: "Help me prepare 200 tons of zero prime." ”

Steinbell simply said, "No problem. ”

As long as he can save the "Aladel" crisis, let alone 200 tons of zero elements, even if he moves the zero element inventory of the military port to the bottom, no one will chew the root of his tongue.

Tang Fang got up and stretched his waist, and said: "After a while, the 'Morning Star' will receive zero elements in the future, and I will arrange for Tang Lin to go to Behemoth to be on standby, and after Claston has selected the messenger, he can directly drive the shuttle to Behemoth to meet him, and immediately leave for the Charles Federation." ”

"Oh, and help me find a comfortable room."

Steinbell said, "I immediately ordered someone to tidy up the room. ”

Tang Fang said "thank you", turned around and walked out the door.

The battle with the mixed battleship was too hard, both physically and mentally, he was a little overwhelmed and tired, and the one thing he wanted to do most now was to have a comfortable bed where he could sleep well. (To be continued......)
