306 Turns defense into offense 8
The Unification Department then dispatched an elite fleet to raid Rodriguez's space station, but the process was unexpected. The DED core fleet of the Unification Department was the most technologically advanced representative of the New Edenians at that time, although there were not many of them, but their offensive and defensive capabilities were stronger than the main warships of each country.
However, in the face of the Earth Alliance's several spaceships, they couldn't take advantage of it at all, and seeing that the raid was about to fail, Canedi II personally led the kingdom's fleet to support, which suppressed the Earth Alliance's counterattack.
But in the end, no one took advantage, and the space station of Rodriguez suddenly exploded with great power, destroying the entire DED core fleet and most of the Canedi Kingdom fleet, and even the Earth Alliance disappeared in the big bang, and the New Edenians got nothing.
Nor did they get nothing, the Earth Alliance warned before the space station exploded that they had a traitor who might have infiltrated the world of New Eden.
No one took this warning seriously at the time, and after suffering such a big loss and not getting the bullshit, the high-level of the Integration Department was already a little annoyed and angry, and desperately tried to block the news, which would be too damaging to the glorious image if it was spread.
Fortunately, there are not many people who know about this matter, and it is easy to control, but there is one person who does not care much about the big picture, and he is Rodriguez, the owner of the space station.
This old man did not accept the compensation conditions of the Ministry of Integration at all, and scolded the leader of the Ministry of Integration at that time as a treacherous villain, and planned to expose the matter through the media. After the ban was granted, another complaint brought the Ministry to federal court.
There are also people in the top echelons of the federal government who are in the know, and they also voted in favor of the raid plan, and if this matter is revealed, not to mention what will happen to the Ministry of Unification, their political career will be over.
So the old Rodriguez's message was suppressed, and the federal government also pretended to provide a scientific research spaceship, encouraging the old Rodriguez to continue to find the Earth Alliance, and the federal government clarified the misunderstanding to the other party.
Old Rodriguez is a scientist, and playing this trick is not a match for politicians at all, so that the Ministry of Integration and the federal government are fooled with a red face and a white face, and I feel that no matter how much I am held accountable, it is useless, and it is more important to quickly find the Earth Alliance to explain the misunderstanding. With his understanding of the earthlings, it doesn't take much, as long as there are a few still alive, the end of the New Edenians may not be far away.
As a result, he took a few scientists on the Future to continue the search for the devouring wormhole, and the result is conceivable, it must be gone forever, even if there is no accident, there will be man-made accidents, and the two Federation pilots who left their crews and fled did this.
As for the disappearance of Claire's mother, Lady Anna, the Unification Department couldn't figure out what was going on, and after searching for a few years, they found nothing, so they simply assumed that she was dead.
In order to prevent the scandal from leaking, the decision-makers of the Ministry of Integration at the time decided to keep these materials tightly sealed, and as those who knew about it gradually died, this little-known fragment of history gradually disappeared.
Strangely enough, however, the materials were sealed along with a meeting decision on the Tacomas, in which Rodriguez's research was also found.
According to the report, the Tacomas may also be descendants of the Earth Alliance, but they came to New Eden a long time ago and were later conquered by the Emma Empire.
As soon as this information was made public, the Ministry of Unification immediately regretted it, and not only was the state of excitement not alleviated, but even the Imperial Government, which had not been silent, expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Ministry, and then filed a motion of no confidence, arguing that the Ministry of Unification was no longer suitable for the responsibility of maintaining the security of the new Eden world, and recommended that a council be convened, and the representatives of the three countries should vote on whether to reorganize or simply disband.
As a law enforcement agency above the national government, it seems to be infinite in the years of its existence, but as it gradually grows, it will slowly have conflicts of interest with various governments, especially on issues such as cloning pilots, commercial taxes, and stargate ownership.
Now that there is finally a chance to get rid of this sword hanging over the head, the call for the dissolution of the United Ministry is getting louder and louder. Governments have also been ambiguous, telling their people to make rational choices, while taking a tolerant attitude towards protests and using various pretexts to restrict the rights of the Ministry of Integration within their borders.
The media is even more noisy, and some believe that the world police should be disbanded long ago, and its existence seriously interferes with people's freedom and hinders economic development; Some people think that the work of the Integration Department is still worthy of recognition, and has made a great contribution to the balance and security of the new Eden world, but it must also adapt to the changes of the times, and cannot be static, and it is time to change. For example, the redivision of the rights of the Ministry of Integration and the governments of various countries, etc., anyway, as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, there are many people who have a set of ideas, and all of them are very far-sighted.
At this time, Hong Tao and Claire had already made a detour to the Sedin system and handed over Princess Flower Poison to Mrs. Eth. But I didn't see Lord Tata, who, as the main lord of Canedi II, had already taken the family fleet to the capital star with the emperor, and it was said that he would also receive a space station that originally belonged to the Adisapor family.
Princess Flower Poison came back at the right time, Mrs. Ise was reluctant to get involved in politics, her husband was gone, and she had to manage the Tata space station, and now that her daughter was back, she immediately became the owner of the space station, and she continued to take care of the flowers and plants.
"We seem to have done something stupid, if the Unification Department falls, the happiest person should be Canedi II!" Mrs. Yisi was not even interested in taking a second look at Hong Tao, a wanted criminal, but she still talked about the rumors she had heard from the top for her daughter's sake.
Then Hong Tao regretted it a little, he followed the advice of Refa and changed from passive to active, mainly to buy time for the development of the home galaxy, but things seem to have far exceeded expectations so far, and the trend is not good.
"You've married a good woman, she's definitely calculated!" Claire also felt the same way about Hong Tao's expectations, among the three countries, the Emma Empire was the most powerful, and it was not possible to blatantly bully people before there was a balance of the Unification Department, but once the Unification Department was dissolved, no one could limit this huge empire.
However, she has a new perspective on the initiator, and the man cannot be blamed for this matter, but the empress who sits in the home system. She might have thought of this step when she came up with an idea, what a good calculation, killing two birds with one stone!
Not to mention the mystery of the parties, Claire definitely doesn't know the empress's temperament better than Hong Tao, but she can see the side that Hong Tao can't see from the perspective of a bystander.
"No wonder she didn't want to go to Canedi II at that time, I thought she was really afraid of causing war......
Let Claire remind him like this, Hong Tao also felt that the empress was indeed not simple, and it was difficult to say whether she could calculate so long-term, but it was very suspicious. With her vision and experience, she has been fighting with Canedy II for so many years, and even if she can't figure it out, she can see some clues.
"You believe her nonsense...... Claire is still a little unforgiving.
"Then why did you agree to her offer to marry me?" This made Hong Tao wonder a little, since he had been vigilant for a long time, why bother to lure the wolf into the room!
“…… You need someone with experience to help manage the Vault Dweller, and neither Sanger nor I can help with that, nor does Colt have experience with that. You've saved her, and she's begged you, and I don't think this kind of cooperation will do you any harm...... But she seems to be more cunning than I thought! ”
Speaking of this problem, Claire was also a little embarrassed, originally just wanted to use each other, maybe she was still thinking about taking advantage, but she didn't expect to be too optimistic, it seemed to be a little out of control.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Don't worry, let her toss, a person who has been an emperor for nearly ten years will not be willing to be lonely, if I do everything possible to stop it, kindness will soon turn into hatred. You don't have to worry too much, I didn't say it, I'm not a Vault Dweller, and even if the Vault Dweller eventually betrays, I won't be sad in the slightest. As for the country or anything, I didn't think about it at all, and after the charges are clarified, let's build a big spaceship to go to the unknown galaxy to see, whether the New Edenians are dead or alive has nothing to do with us. ”
If Claire didn't say it, Hong Tao would have forgotten that this woman is also very calculating, and he made her desperate at the beginning. However, compared to Refa, Claire really has no advantage in this regard, and she still persuaded her not to fight with the empress, it is too unwise to defeat the enemy's strengths with her own shortcomings.
