Chapter 2 The Real Goal
2219, November 15.
It's been exactly two weeks since the "Resistance Coalition Meeting" on the east coast of Star County.
If you don't know the significance of these two weeks, then I can be clearer - it takes about two weeks to create a clone based on a relatively intact corpse and inject a controlled AI personality with nanobots as the carrier.
So, at this point in time, an earth-shattering news was also released in this land of Star County.
On this day, all the well-known rebel groups, including the Predators, the Cossack Rangers, the Cliffs, and the Berber Spirits, sent representatives, the leaders of their organizations, "himself", at a press conference in Washington, D.C., to announce that their organizations would all be integrated into a new regime called the "Sixth Reich" and become a "unified whole".
This new regime, as the name suggests, was imperial.
When the rebels merge into each other, they will no longer be confederacy, federations, or other similar forms of autonomy, and all their administrative and military powers will be transferred to the Empire; From this day on, all the rebels, from rank and system, down to dress and salutation, will be the same.
Although for some people in this world, especially the high-level officials of the Federation, this matter is expected and will come sooner or later, when it really comes, they will inevitably be anxious and afraid......
Unfortunately, fear does not change their fate, it only slowly pushes them to despair.
…………
Since most of the world was controlled by the rebels long before the Formations were submissive, by the time the Sixth Reich was founded, it had largely occupied all of its territory except Western Europe, militarily ...... Actually, there aren't too many battles to be fought either.
In the next half month, the Sixth Reich focused a large part of its energy on the control of public opinion, after all, the people of this planet have not been in contact with the imperial system and the imperial system for about two hundred years, and suddenly telling them that the new regime wants to restore those will definitely cause many people to be confused, afraid, and disgusted......
At such a time, it is natural to pull out those public figures, entertainment circles, opinion leaders, idols, etc., and exert ideological influence on the world, so that more people can stand on the side of the new regime, and at the same time use various means to gradually drown out those opposing voices.
As for the means, what exactly are the means? Whether it's technical, psychological, or physical...... There is no need to give examples here, anyway, Li Xiaofan is a good player, just leave it to him.
And at the same time as the public opinion war, there are three things:
First, all the middle and senior commanders of the rebel army were co-opted and mixed, and all the original groups and factions were dismantled and disrupted by mobilizing the personnel allocation in various localities, so as to prevent the appearance of "some rebel organizations in the army who disobeyed the leaders of the old units and began to pull small hills to prepare to gather men and horses to shrink and move in disorder."
Second, the promulgation of the "Provisional Law" and the dispatch of a team of imperial civil servants to all localities, that is, a leadership group headed by the "Governor-General", formally took over the administrative affairs of various localities, including administration, public security, and economy, which solved the situation of administrative management and public order chaos during the occupation of the rebels, and also calmed the people's hearts to a large extent.
Third, to eliminate or absorb military forces outside Western Europe that remain loyal to the federal government, and to completely stifle any large-scale armed confrontation.
In short, in the past half a month, under a series of measures taken by Zilin, the global situation has rapidly stabilized; When the common people came back to their senses, the feeling of "troubled times" seemed to have passed, and almost all the people in the occupied areas of the empire no longer worried about "their own and their families' lives and property may evaporate with a stray bullet", they are now more aware of some changes in people's livelihood after the change of times and regimes, and some shrewd opportunists are already looking for some opportunities that may accompany this period.
…………
The days just went by like this......
For the elites at the top of the federation, this more than half a month can be said to be like a year.
If the Sixth Empire really besieged Crystal County with saber-rattling, military confrontation with them, plus all kinds of negotiations, and forced their various departments to meet eight times a day, then they might not have time to think about it.
But Zilin's approach is - to leave them dry; To put it more sassyly, it is "to place PLAY".
In short, it's an attitude that doesn't take the current federation seriously at all, and doesn't have time to pay attention to you.
This is very embarrassing for the federal government, because this part of Crystal County, especially the residents of Christo, to put it bluntly, live their usual good life by sucking the blood of people all over the world, and they have always been vested interests at the top of the pyramid; But now, they have become a castle in the air, cut off from all kinds of contact with the outside world, whether it is transportation, economy, or communications...... Even if the Empire didn't try to lock them down, they wouldn't be able to sustain themselves in a county that had largely abandoned agriculture and industry for years, let alone maintain their original luxury.
In this situation, it is obvious what will happen next......
The defenders and inhabitants of Crystal County, the enforcers of the various special violence agencies, the magnates of Christo, and the civilians who provide services to the powerful...... Under that class-supremacy federal system, what held the balance between these people and classes collapsed.
If someone (such as the Empire) were to exert pressure from the outside at this time, perhaps the Federation would still be able to ignore many problems under pressure, and everyone would tighten their belts and unite to fight the enemy.
However, Zilin did not create this condition for them, but chose a way that made them the most uncomfortable.
In this way, it is undoubtedly only a matter of time before contradictions within the federation erupt.
…………
December 2nd, Tianxuan Island, the study of "Juezun".
After Yan Wuxian and He Huai went out, Ji Jue left the sofa chair, got up and paced for a while, and then came to the bookshelf and moved the position of a book.
Then, he silently walked to the wine cabinet, opened the glass door of the wine cabinet, and raised his hand to choose a bottle of red wine.
There was no special meaning in this choice, it was just that at that moment, he wanted to drink the bottle.
Tuk Tuk –
Before he could unfold the corkscrew, there was a knock on the door of his study.
"Come in." Ji Jue said casually while busy with the matter at hand.
Paul Akmon then walked into the room, and of course, you may be more familiar with his other name, the Syndicate.
This little white man in his early sixties, less than 100 pounds, is still wearing his tailor-made brown suit, revealing a philistine atmosphere in his gestures, but without losing due elegance and etiquette.
"You're looking for me." As soon as the syndicate entered the door, he stood respectfully and answered the call of his master.
Ji Jue didn't need to say any polite words to him, and went straight to the point: "I just gave Yan Wushu a task to assassinate the governor of Sakura's Mansion, and Ah Xiu maintained the state of modifying his cognition and accompanied him." ”
Hearing this, the syndicate thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with?" ”
"Heh......" Ji Jue smiled, "Among my subordinates, you are the most thoughtful, why don't you tell me, is there any hidden danger here?" ”
"Yan Wuxian, this person is a hidden danger in itself." The Syndicate was indeed thoughtful, and he replied almost without thinking, "Ah Xiu may be in danger." ”
"Hmm." Ji Jue nodded, "You're right......" He paused for half a second, "...... Halfway. ”
The syndicate replied, "Please advise." ”
"Yan Wuxian is a hidden danger, yes, but Ah Xiu will not be in any danger." "His abilities, his loyalty to me, and my trust in him...... are all very valuable, so even if something happens to him, he will not be killed, at most he will be captured and brainwashed or something...... It doesn't matter, there's room for manoeuvre. ”
"Then you want me to ......," the syndicate replied in an inquiring tone.
"You take Hugh and Hanazuka-kun, and they leave a few hours later to go to Sakura's Mansion together." Ji Jue said.
"Is it insurance for action?" The syndicate asked.
"Nope." As Ji Jue spoke, he opened the red wine in his hand and poured himself a glass, "You have another task." He paused, took a sip of wine, tasted the taste, and smiled, "My real target is naturally not to be a small Sakura Governor; Even if that little girl is also the leader of the Shenwu Society, on the side of the Reverse Cross, she is nothing more than a pawn that can be replaced at any time, and it is worthless to kill her......
"I sent Ah Xiu and Yan Wushu out this time, one of them is to test Yan Wuxian's loyalty through this mission; Second, it is also to distract the enemy......"
When the syndicate heard this, he asked, "So what is your real goal?" ”
"Bring me Sakaki Nothing." Ji Jue immediately said his order.
"Understood." The Syndicate muttered, "This time...... The subordinates must live up to their mission......"
