Volume 3 The War of the Insects Chapter 223 Internal and External Troubles

"Uncle Zhu, didn't you say before that you would not show your inclination in front of others? Why are you speaking for me so obviously today, aren't you afraid that those people in the Fan family will let you go? ”

After putting an end to the gossip, Morningstar brings the conversation back to business.

Zhu Nianguo looked at Morning Star with a slight difference, and then shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that you really believe your father's words, can't you tell if those words are a joke?" My relationship with your father, Leighton, is unknown to no one in the political circles of the Republic. It's no exaggeration to say that I can sit firmly in this position, your father is indispensable, what fool would believe that I will stand in a neutral position in the battle between you and the Fan family? ”

Morning Star was stunned when he heard Zhu Nianguo's words, since the relationship between Leighton and Zhu Nianguo was very good and everyone in the Republic was known, then why did Leighton tell him with such a serious attitude? This doesn't make sense at all, is it possible, is it my father's last test for himself? I hope to see if I can deal with it rationally in such a deceitful struggle? Morning Star thought about it and didn't have an answer, so he could only leave this question behind, looking at Zhu Nianguo, Morning Star suddenly thought of Fan Cheng's words earlier, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhu, I have information about the Fan family here, but I haven't determined its authenticity, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Zhu Nianguo leaned into the chair and picked up his water cup, which had been used for an unknown number of years and had a huge red star printed on it, and when he opened the lid, he could still hear the noise caused by the friction of the porcelain enamel. Gu Dong poured a sip of water, and his bold breath was like a hero.

"What kind of information, tell me about it."

After getting permission, Morning Star told Zhu Nianguo in detail the news he had received from Fan Cheng, while the latter frowned frequently, and his fingers kept tapping on the table. After a while, Zhu Nianguo said: "Well, if that's the case, many things that I didn't understand before can be explained." ”

Morning Star learned from Zhu Nianguo's words that the high-level officials of the Republic had long been aware of the Fan family's actions that they thought were secret, but the other party's secrecy work was too good, although they knew that the Fan family Andy was making a big move, they were never able to grasp the handle. In particular, in recent years, the Fan family has been rampant and wantonly amassing wealth, and its intensity is almost close to starvation. From the military expenditure of the Republic and the arms trade to the "protection fee" of the street store, the huge profits produced during this period are unknown. Now that I have confronted Morning Star's statement, I know that they are all used to secretly train the army.

"Internal and external troubles!" Zhu Nianguo's sigh was full of exhaustion, for a person of his age, he was afraid that he was unable to deal with such complicated affairs. Morning Star walked to Zhu Nianguo's side, refilled Zhu Nianguo's antique water cup, and asked, "Uncle Zhu, now there is the Fan family eyeing the outside, and the Heavenly Mandate Sect is fighting everywhere, I don't know why, I'm worried about whether the two of them will have anything to do with each other?" ”

Morning Star's doubts resonated with Zhu Nianguo, and the two of them once again conducted an exercise on the possible existence of the Fan family and the Heavenly Mandate Sect

After some discussion, the results were not very optimistic, and after the various information that complemented each other was connected in series, it actually formed a very reasonable chain.

"Uncle Zhu, does this mean that the collusion between the Fan family and the Heavenly Mandate Sect is already a sure thing?" Morningstar repeated it in his mind several times, but he couldn't find any discord in the chain, and although this inference of guilt seemed too subjective, it was impossible for anyone to estimate that much under the potential threat that the outcome might overthrow the power of the Republic.

Zhu Nianguo rubbed his temples tiredly, and stroked his gray hair back vigorously, and finally said with a solemn expression, as if he had made some important decision: "The plan continues, and it must be carried out simultaneously on both sides." I'm in charge of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, you continue to deal with the Fan family, and if necessary, you can use violence! ”

"Uncle Zhu, I think, let's go deal with the Heavenly Mandate Sect, this time I came to the Republic, I brought a lot of soldiers on Itglison, these should be enough for us to support for a while, I will contact my father now, let him increase the troops, I guarantee that the Heavenly Mandate Sect will not be able to raise waves!" After all, Morning Star had already confronted the Heavenly Mandate Sect many times, and instead of dealing with the Fan family, Morning Star thought that he was more suitable to deal with the Heavenly Mandate Sect.

Zhu Nianguo shook his head and replied, "This time is different, we have to take into account the existence of the Fan family, if they really collude with the Heavenly Mandate Sect, then once you appear on the battlefield over there, it will be easy to attract the attention of the Fan family." This may not only threaten your personal safety, but also make them jump off the wall in a hurry. After so many years of operation, once the Fan family is in trouble, it will definitely bloom everywhere, and then we will have to allocate a large number of troops to suppress the rebellion of the Fan family, and looking at the current situation in the Alliance Aglon Star Region, we can also speculate that the battle against the Heavenly Mandate Sect will definitely be affected. Protracted war is the best policy, and once it reaches that point, it is the ordinary people who suffer! Therefore, the Heavenly Mandate Sect will hand it over to me, you just need to continue to play your role well and stabilize the Fan family! ”

"Well, then! I tried my best. However, Uncle Zhu, the dead epidemic virus is really difficult to deal with, once it gets sick, there is no cure, and when necessary, it is inevitable that a strong man will break his wrist. ”

Zhu Nianguo nodded, his eyes were full of sadness, even if it didn't go without saying it, Morning Star could understand that it was all because of the previous battle image. The situation has reached the point where it needs to be suppressed by the troops, and there are bound to be many people who have been infected, and the strong man who broke his wrist when Morning Star said refers to the direct obliteration of the infected, which makes Zhu Nianguo feel heartache.

Morning Star didn't know how to comfort Zhu Nianguo, even though he had been the leader of the Republic for decades, this old man was still like what he said in his speech when he first took office, thinking about the people until death.

"Uncle Zhu, the Empire has a vaccine for the new death virus, but the formula for this vaccine is almost entirely developed by the Empire itself, although I have provided some information, but I have not been involved, but I can try to negotiate with Vistock, maybe he can give the formula to the Republic, like that

Words can still save many people. "Morningstar didn't dare to guarantee that he would get the formula for the vaccine from Vistock, after all, his old man was notoriously willful. Although the Empire had recently recognized Itgleeson's status, this did not mean that Vistock was willing to hand over the vaccine formula to the Republic. The empire, the alliance, and the republic, although there are many exchanges, are always three different countries, and there are also fights at the same time as exchanges, helping each other but restraining each other, who knows if Zhu Nianguo had any unhappiness with Vistock before.

Zhu Nianguo smiled bitterly after hearing Chenxing's words, and said, "Hey, in the end, I still have to beg that kid, Weststock, this city, you won!" ”

Morningstar hurriedly said that this matter can be done by himself, and if it doesn't work, he can beg Katarina, after all, Vistock favors Caterina and everyone knows. But Zhu Nianguo refused, and said: "There's no need for that, if you, the prospective son-in-law, help me, an outsider, speak, Vestock won't have to blow up." I'll go, he won't be embarrassed for me, after all, the people who have come to our position, this vision is still there. That Manifest Destiny Sect is no longer a cult, they are the public enemy of all mankind, and I believe that Vistock can realize this. ”

Zhu Nianguo's words made Morning Star unable to refute, although Zhu Nianguo previously said that Morning Star could be on an equal footing with him, but Morning Star was very self-aware, and although his It Gleeson had been making trouble recently, it was really not enough compared to the huge republic. It is precisely because of this that the dialogue between Zhu Nianguo and Vistock is on par, and his junior is really not suitable to participate in it.

After bidding farewell to Zhu Nianguo, Morning Star returned to the collapse again, and at this time, Tina had already returned to the Goddess's Eye with Ellie, and the remaining few people had already had a close relationship with Morning Star. After a brief discussion with Morningstar, it was another night of Hu Tian Hudi. In this liquid, Morning Star seems to be extraordinarily strong, and I don't know if it's because of the Fan family or because of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, the Queen always feels that Morning Star has a faint terrifying aura on his body, so the Queen is under Morning Star's inquiry, and the Queen obediently said her request, which also attracted another round of conquest by Morning Star.

In the next few days, Zhu Nianguo sent Shangguan Agni to deliver news to Morning Star many times, not only about the arrangements for dealing with the Fan family, but also about the battle between the military of the Republic and the Heavenly Mandate Sect. Compared to the weakness of the Union, the military of the Republic is very bold. The planet invaded by the Manifest Destiny Sect is a newly developed agricultural planet, and the number of people on the planet who have been confirmed to be infected with the dead plague is more than 100,000, and the number of healthy and undetermined people is as high as million. So this time the republic can't evacuate the people like the empire, so many people, even if it is as strong as the republic, it doesn't have the energy to evacuate so many people, not to mention the possibility that the rescued people have already carried the virus.

The empire's vaccine formula has arrived, and according to Zhu Nianguo, Vistock is quite happy and is not looking for any trouble. But the Republic, of course, cannot do nothing

paid, and accepted the favor of the empire, so Zhu Nianguo made huge concessions in trade between the two sides, making the empire make a lot of money. The intrigue Morning Star that the high-level leaders only saw didn't understand very well, but since Zhu Nianguo did this, he must have his reasoning, which Morning Star knew very well, so he didn't ask too much about this question. However, Morning Star discussed the Fan family with Zhu Nianguo in great detail. Zhu Nianguo is so familiar with the history of the Fan family that he can't be familiar with it, from the history of the family to the black history, almost everything is known, after all, this family controls a strong strength of the military of the republic, and Zhu Nianguo, as a person in power, will take the initiative to understand these materials whether it is to take precautions or to have a good relationship. From the detailed discussion with Zhu Nianguo, Morningstar further saw the possibility that his plan could succeed. The current Fan family is a very obvious federal system, the core master is responsible for giving orders and determining the direction of the family, while the subordinate families below have their own independent system, but they are heavily influenced by the head of the Fan family.

In Morningstar's view, the federal system is the most vulnerable form of state in human society today, and it is also used in large families. When something is good for any member of the federal system, they are really cohesive, but when something is good for some, or even hurts the interests of a few, the system can instantly become a mess.

In addition to the information about the Fan family provided by Zhu Nianguo, Morning Star has also received a three-point report from the shadow guard these days, all of which are about Fan Cheng. The first report is an investigation conducted by the shadow guard at the request of Morning Star on the history of Fan Cheng's family. This report pointed out that the Fan Cheng family was indeed obtained by the strong means of the Fan family's family, and Fan Cheng's ancestors, as the Fan family's cronies, took over the property at that time, and later after years of operation, gradually held this property firmly in their own hands. However, compared with the forcible seizure of the head of the Fan family, Fan Cheng's ancestors are still merciful, so many years have passed, the Fan Cheng family still left the descendants of Jishitang in the industry, although these descendants of Jishitang are no longer involved in the decision-making of industrial policy, but they can still get the treatment that does not have to be bad for Fan Cheng's family. Morningstar nodded with satisfaction after reading this report, Fan Cheng is a good person, and this can be the basis for Morningstar's cooperation with him.

The second report is a report on the operating income of Jishitang and the expenses of the Fan Cheng family over the years. After reading this report, Morning Star couldn't figure out what those people who were attached to the Fan family's family were trying to. The situation of Fan Cheng's family is a bit laughable, running Jishitang, making money every day, but in recent years, it has been very poor, of course, this kind of money refers to the wealth level. For example, if he wants to buy a floating car worth millions of federal coins, Fan Cheng's family can only retreat to the second place because of the lack of turnover, and buy a car of 800,000 yuan, even so, it is still much more nourishing than ordinary people. This situation is very consistent with Fan Cheng's description of Morning Star's own state, and it also increases Morning Star's trust in him.

The third report is that the shadow guard is against Fan Cheng these days

's surveillance report, since Morning Star and Fan Cheng were separated in the hotel next to the Yan Courtyard, all of Fan Cheng's actions were under the surveillance of the shadow guard, Morning Star looked at the report in his hand and couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't know which one of the shadow guards wrote the report, and actually wrote every detail of Fan Cheng and his three women's lives in the past few days, and used the technology of timekeeping, detailing Fan Cheng's actions and words at every moment, like a delicate narrative, Some of these scenes are embarrassing for a battle-hardened man like Morningstar.

Through these three reports, Morningstar finally decided that Fan Cheng was his first battle to break through the Fan family's fortress.

Do what you want, Morningstar threw an olive branch to Fan Cheng as soon as he made his decision, but this olive branch was not a regenerative potion, but another trauma medicine developed by It Gleeson. When Fan Cheng's surname Gao Cailie saw Morning Star, but after hearing such news, his face was instantly full of displeasure.

"Mr. Morningstar, although I have asked you now, is it too much for you to play with me like this!" The place chosen by Morning Star to meet Fan Cheng is one of the most famous spots on Xinjing Star, and at this time, Morning Star and Fan Cheng are basking in the sun on the balcony of a lake-view room.

Chenxing looked at Fan Cheng, who was full of displeasure, and replied lightly: "You have also been in business for a long time, don't you understand this truth?" The regeneration potion in my hand can be regarded as a cash cow, and in the hands of anyone, it is equivalent to sending him to the circle of the rich. Why do you think I have to give you this opportunity? ”

After Fan Cheng heard Chenxing's words, his face changed greatly, and he asked, "Didn't you say that you were going to give me this chance when you asked someone to inform me before?" Why are you regretting it now? ”

Morning Star took a sip of the wine glass in his hand, and replied without looking back: "When did I say that I would regret it, but you are also quite strange, I am the one who may let you enter the top rich circle of the Republic, where did you get the courage to talk to me like this." Besides, before I give you this wealth, can't I test your ability to function? ”

Fan Cheng looked a little impatient, and Morning Star's eyes hidden behind his sunglasses were looking at Fan Cheng intently, always paying attention to the changes in his expression.

Hearing Morning Star's words, Fan Cheng's emotions changed from incomprehension, then displeasure, followed by anger, sadness, and self-deprecation. The slightest change in the expression on his face fell on Morning Star's eyes.

"It's too late, it's really too late." Fan Cheng, who had experienced a drastic change in his heart, seemed to be crazy in the end, inserted his hands into his hair, and said as if talking to himself: "It's really too late, if I help you run other products first, then my daughter may not be able to come back." As soon as the words fell, as if something had come to the ceremony again, his hands suddenly held Morning Star's arm tightly, and begged: "Lord Morning Star, I beg you, give me the regeneration potion directly, my daughter really can't wait anymore." ”

Morning Star did not change his mind because of Fan Cheng's pleading, he took off his eyes, and his face turned pale

Shen shook off this man who disregarded his dignity in order to save his daughter, and replied coldly: "If you really want to save your daughter through my giving, then you shouldn't hide your greater purpose from me!" ”

Morning Star's face was cold, the whole person was murderous, and the sudden change in temperament would make Fan Cheng a little afraid, and in the face of Morning Star's question, he actually trembled and said, "You, how do you know?" ”
