Chapter 614: Cause and Effect

Tang Fang's eyes were fixed on his face full of resentment, unwillingness, doubt, anger, and grievance, and he felt that the young duke was really an interesting person, just like others described him, many times he would be stubborn and self-serving, but he was extremely smart when dealing with certain problems.

Is the young duke a smart man, or a fool who can't figure out what is going on?

If the identities of the two sides are reversed, he will abandon the useless duke status as soon as possible, because he knows that Captain Tang doesn't care about dukes or not, he only has whether to kill or not.

Curobacchino paid the price for the crimes he had committed in the first place, and Sulbacho was naturally responsible for what he did on the Organ Coast, not about status, but about fairness.

He wants to be fair, and he wants others to be fair, at least in his eyes.

Because there is no fairness in this world, it is necessary to create fairness, and if everyone does not do it, then there will never be fairness.

The infected person suddenly appeared in the conference room, his huge body almost filling half of the room, and the desks, chairs and some electronic equipment used in the office were squeezed into the corner.

A pungent stench permeated, clumps of jet-black slime dripping from the arm-thick tentacles, and small milky white bugs burrowed in and out beneath it, leaving twisted crawling marks on the surface of the slowly spreading slime.

Sulbacho He had seen the scene in front of him, and his eyes, which had been open with anger, expanded again, and he could clearly see the blood line on the edge of the white of his eye, which looked particularly hideous.

"What do you want to do?"

It was only then that he realized one thing, power and status could not save him, devouring bodies could not save him, and the Supreme Security Council could not save him either.

Captain Tang himself started by relying on biological warships, and of course he has deep attainments in the field of biological sciences. It is natural that it can drive away such a big insect that gives people a demonic feeling.

But...... How did it end up in a conference room with such a large size? It's obviously hard to get through even the security door.

That was Surbaggio's last thought, or question.

A black shadow flashed, and the infected's tail freely retractable sting needles pierced the back of the young duke's neck, and tiny nerve parasites traveled all the way to the brain.

He began to twitch, his eyelids rolled up, and the whites of his eyes were exposed. It looks like a stroke.

Every time he saw such a picture, Tang felt that his back bones were numb, and there was a cold air running around his vest...... Even if he is the master of the infected.

Soon, Emma sifted through fragments of the young duke's memories and pulled his attention away from the infected worm.

After going through all the information, combined with the relevant historical data collected by the Star Rail Command Center, he finally figured out what happened to the Duchess of Kernar.

The origin of the matter began with the disagreement between the Duke of Congreve and many members of the Kernar family on the perception of territory, vassals, and commoners.

As a young man, Congreeve was the head of a logistics unit assigned by the United Kingdom of Turachs to the Covenant to fight against the Jupiter Expeditionary Force, and he had seen all kinds of generals and soldiers in the forces of the West Rumbuir region, and had experienced deception, suspicion, compromise, prevarication, and infighting...... and so on.

At the same time, he saw the ruthlessness of war. The cruelty of the political struggle, the filthiness between the countries.

The nations of the West Lunbuir region are united against the Jupiter Expeditionary Force, and under such a seemingly beautiful and glorious appearance, it is full of intolerable and disgusting sin and darkness.

NO COUNTRY REALLY WANTS TO HELP THE STAR ALLIANCE, ESPECIALLY THE AUTOCRATIC REGIME, THEY WANT TO SEE THE STAR ALLIANCE CEASE TO EXIST IN THIS WORLD, AND MAKE IT HISTORY COMPLETELY, SO THAT THEY CAN BREAK AWAY FROM THE SHADOW OF THE STAR ALLIANCE. Completely ushered in their own era.

But the Star Covenant can't be destroyed, once the Star Alliance falls. The Jupiter Expeditionary Force will fully occupy the Tianchao Star Region and radiate its power and influence to the countries of the West Lunbuir Region, so you can imagine what will happen next.

The best thing to do is to put the Covenant in an awkward position to fight a war of attrition with the Jupiter Expeditionary Force.

In this way, the spirit of the Star Alliance will exist in name only, and the Star Alliance, which has not yet been established, will become the marionette of the seven countries of the West Lunbuir Region.

At that time, only the Charles Federation and the Republic of Dorlanx objected. Charles Federal Admiral Leighton? Freeman even scolded the Monya Empire, the United Kingdom of Tulanx, the Sulu Empire, the Date Republic, and the Sauron Empire for being despicable and shameless at the joint operations meeting. The "kindness" that the Covenant promised them was nothing more than a lure of wolves into the house—and the old marshal's words proved to be true at all.

The social environment at that time was that after the disintegration of the Star Alliance, after years of war, the West Lunbuir Region finally formed a delicate balance, showing a trend of separation. And due to the invasion of the Jupiter expeditionary force, the external environment was tense. THE DOMESTIC ENVIRONMENT OF THE COUNTRIES IS NOT VERY GOOD, SUCH AS THE MONYA EMPIRE, THE SULU EMPIRE AND OTHER AUTHORITARIAN REGIMES, UNDER THE PRESSURE OF THE RULING CLASS UNDER THE FORCE OF FORCE, CAN BURST OUT OF POWERFUL POWER, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE CHARLESE FEDERATION AND THE REPUBLIC OF DOLANX, THE CIVIL WAR WEARINESS IS EXTREMELY STRONG, ALTHOUGH BECAUSE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SYSTEM HAS FAR MORE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL THAN THE AUTHORITARIAN REGIME, BUT IN TERMS OF THE ENVIRONMENT AT THAT TIME, IT IS INDEED THE BOTTOM OF THE G-7.

As a result, their opposition is as weak as the cry of a newborn baby, and it is difficult to turn the situation around.

As the saying goes, because of darkness, light is precious.

There is also a saying that only in the darkest night sky will there be the most brilliant bloom of light.

Even in that environment, the people of the Covenant never thought of giving up their country, even if their so-called "country" no longer existed.

Women would send their children to school early in the morning and then head to factories to produce batches of brand-new uniforms and watch them be loaded onto shuttles and fly into the blue sky.

They would use their lunch break to write letters to their husbands who were far away from the front line, and some would tell them what their children had learned in class today. Some will tell them that she loves him and will wait for him to return; Some will attach a photo to tell them that the flowers planted in early spring in their garden have bloomed; Others recite their wedding vows in a calm and warm voice.

"I would like to be his wife, to have and support each other from this day on, to love and cherish each other, whether it is good or bad, rich or poor, sick or healthy, until death can separate us."

……

Young Congreve felt it was the most memorable thing he had ever experienced in his life. Human affection is the brightest and most beautiful light in this dark universe, and nothing is more precious than them.

Look back around. He suddenly found that the faces of the nations were disgusting, and how hypocritical the titles of elegance, glory, and nobility that the nobility of the country boasted were.

He didn't want to be like those people, he wanted to take a different path, let those things that should shine shine hard, and let those things that can't see the light return to nothingness.

He also knows what it means to be difficult to return and what it means to have a lot of resistance. Therefore, he did not hesitate to spend more than 20 years, starting little by little, slowly changing the entire dukedom, fighting against the opponents within the Kernar family and other old nobles in the realm.

Such reforms allowed him to gain a lot of popular support, as well as the support of enlightened nobles and generals. It's like Carter, Steinbell, Claxton......

But it inevitably moved the cheese of many people.

Especially in the past few years, Congreve realized that his health was beginning to decline, and in order not to let the reform cause fall short, he accelerated the planning process. While trying to find a way to live two more years, he feared that once he died, the duke would sink into the dark abyss again.

This impatience raises two questions.

The first problem is that the "Divine Arm" has successfully mixed into the "Rourzan" scientific research park on the grounds that the genetic engineering of the Ipsilons will help improve the human body and increase the average life expectancy of humans.

The second problem came from within the Kernar family, where more and more opposition came into waves and raged within the dukedom. If it weren't for the prestige of Congreve, if it weren't for the Amber Fleet, the Obsidian Fleet, and the "Aradell" garrison naval fleet, I am afraid that there would have been family civil strife long ago.

If Congreve is the representative of the reformers of the ducal duke, then Surbacho is the representative of the opponents within the Kernar family.

It is embarrassing and sighing. The representatives of these two opposing forces turned out to be father and son, and Sulbaggio was also the first in line to the throne of the dukedom.

Just like some nobles within the United Kingdom of Turanks, who were not on good terms with Congreve, laughed at his statement. It is a great irony that someone else raises a son to live in place of him a hundred years later, but Congreve is raising a son to deny himself.

In fact, Congreve was very helpless, he knew that Sulbacho was on the opposite side of him, and he could not deprive Sulbacho of the identity of the heir to the title, so as to take into account the friendship between father and son. Second, doing so will exacerbate the contradictions between him and the stubborn forces in the clan, and it is very likely to trigger a coup d'état.

On the other hand, as Congreve pursued increasingly enlightened policies within his territory, there was a disagreement with the new faction led by Zanggowell in their attitude towards the common people, which intensified as the changes deepened. Little by little, his actions tore apart the alliance of interests between the Duchy of Kernar and Zangowell.

In recent years, the old-fashioned forces, led by Henrietta, have begun to implement reforms in their territories in order to gain broad political support, which has led many to wonder whether Congreve will change course and join Henrietta's camp.

Congreve did think about this at first, wondering if he would force the opposing forces within the family to compromise if he fell into Henrietta's side, because Zangowell would never tolerate betrayal, and the Kernar family would have to rely on Henrietta to continue to deepen the reform if it wanted to continue.

However, because the old-school forces are becoming weaker and weaker in politics, the progress of reform is slow, and the internal forces are not very peaceful, the radicals who advocate reform and the conservatives who oppose reform are at odds.

Against this backdrop, Congreve could not foresee what would happen in the future, and what was the point of his reforms if the old-fashioned forces led by Henrietta were defeated in this political game that lasted for more than a decade?

Despite the opposition to him within the Kernar family, he still could not abandon his identity as a member of the Kernar family, and felt that people should not forget their roots.

This psychological tension continued until a few months ago, when he had to make a choice when his relationship with the clan opposition deteriorated dramatically due to the deterioration of his health and the acceleration of the pace of reform.

In order to be able to carry out the reform to the end, he decided to take the lead. So he approached Steinbell, Claston, Curobakino and others to discuss the details.

The opposition represented by Sulbaggio is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it smells the strong smell of gunpowder from the troop movements, personnel arrangements, and news sent by various secret channels of "Aradel", in order to protect themselves. can only choose to tear his face with Congreeve and prepare to use a killer weapon.

This so-called killer feature is the modulated phagosome polymer of the Supreme Security Council.

There is always no shortage of smart people in this world, and while Congreve is running his own forces in the officialdom and the army, and continues to push forward reforms, some of the elders of the Kernar family are aware of the possibility of a political crisis in the future. So they were also looking for forces that could restrain Congreve, and finally encountered the resurgence of the Supreme Security Council, and after learning of each other's interests, the two sides hit it off and formed a strategic alliance.

However, the dramatic thing is that before Congreve and the opposition of the clan can tear his face, the "God Arm" who grabbed the pigtails took the first step and used Kurobakino's secret chess move to kill Congreve. As a result, the military and political circles of "Aladel" were leaderless, and there was a great chaos.

Surbacho took the opportunity to lead the Edward fleet into the port of Goldin, and with the covert help of some supporters and Kurobacchino, he fought to control the garrison naval fleet and part of the Amber fleet, thus evolving into the situation when the Tang side had just arrived.

To Tang's surprise, Kurobakino is worthy of being a natural politician. It's just cunning to the extreme.

He is a secret chess piece planted by the "God Arm" next to Congreve, but the two sides are only a cooperative relationship. Now that the "God-armed" men have fulfilled their promise and healed his body after Congreve's death, there is no need for the alliance between the two sides to continue.

You know, Congreve died at his hands, and if this leaks out, Sulbacho will spare them? It is hard to guarantee that he will not be used to set an example for chickens and monkeys, so as to establish his own prestige. At the same time, it achieves the purpose of appeasing Steinbell and Claiston.

The existence of the "Armed with God" was nothing more than a time bomb for him, and he had to dismantle them completely.

Therefore, as a person who secretly helped Sulbacho seize the power of the garrison naval fleet and gained reuse and trust, Curobacchino reported to Sulbacho some organizations in the "Rulzan" scientific research institute labeled as "Kangreve diehard supporters", completely betraying the original partner "God Arm".

He had planned to personally lead the team to clear those stumbling blocks. However, at the operational meeting, he was stopped by one of Surbacho's advisers, and he was only asked to be responsible for the evacuation of unrelated technicians from the "Rurzan" scientific research institute, and someone else was responsible for the handling of the "Armed God".

Kurobacchino did not expect such a turn of events, but he could not do anything to change it, so he could only follow Sulbacho's order to evacuate the "Rourzan" scientific research campus, and then wait quietly.

He was very afraid that Surbachgio's final choice was to recruit "God Arm", which would bring him ruin, so he seemed a little absent-minded during the Tang side's attack on the Goldin Military Port, but as the commander of the garrison naval fleet, he did not put forward any constructive suggestions, but his eyes flashed and he looked preoccupied.

His luck proved to be good, because the relationship between the Supreme Council and the armed forces of God was not harmonious.

The advisor at Sulbacho's side is named Bulver? Arnold, one of the nine members of the Supreme Security Council, took over the disposal from Kurobakino, and after the evacuation of the unrelated personnel in the "Rourzan" scientific research institute was completed, he immediately ordered a transport team of the landing force of the Edward fleet to send his men to the "Rourzan" scientific research institute, intending to use phagosomal polymers to kill those members of the Armed Forces of God, and then a series of events appeared that Tang Fang saw in the memory of the clones.

Then, the good fortune of Kurobacchino came to an end...... Along with the rest is his life.

After digesting this information, Tang Fang turned his attention back to the present, and secretly lamented that he would always be involved in some intricate political struggles, which made people speechless.

But if you think about it, this is something that will inevitably happen, and even if you don't get involved in such a political conspiracy, you will be involved in such a partisan struggle. If he is a little man who runs around every day for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, works hard for raising children, and lives the life of a petty clerk or a petty trader, whether it is political conspiracy or partisan struggle, he is separated by 108,000 miles.

But if a small clerk chooses to raise his voice for justice, fairness, and justice, then he will definitely encounter influence from the government, and even get involved in political conspiracies. If a small trader becomes a business tycoon, he will definitely socialize with politicians. and even get involved in partisan struggles.

This is an unavoidable fact. Because with each step forward in human power, one gets closer and closer to the people at the top of the pyramid and the things they do.

The so-called people in the rivers and lakes, involuntarily, is generally like this.

…………

"What have you done to me? What the hell did you do to me? ”

The infected worm eliminated the influence of the nerve parasite on him according to Tang Fang's instructions, and Sulbacho woke up from his trance. Although he didn't know what had happened during the time he lost consciousness, it must not have been a good thing.

"It's simple." Tang Fang said calmly: "I just looked at the things stored in your head. ”

Inside the head...... What to store? (To be continued......)
