The news of Li Xingqi's death was like sprinkling cold water in a hot oil pot, and it immediately and completely fried the pot, causing a series of shocks in the Xinghan Empire.

Naturally, those who opposed Li Xingqi were overjoyed, and many hostile colonies even held celebrations, scolding Li Xingqi as the biggest source of chaos in the empire.

The people who followed Li Xingqi were sad and angry, and they began to look for the person who was responsible for this matter.

The first to stand up was Mai Feng, a veteran general who had followed Li Xingqi for many years, and he directly accused the regular meeting of the Colonization and Security Federation that the escort team in charge of Li Xingqi's security should bear the greatest responsibility, and it was better to shoot them all to atone for their crimes.

The people of Mai Feng's faction naturally echoed one after another, and all pointed the finger at the security forces guarding Li Xingqi and the relevant intelligence departments.

This kind of remark was endorsed by many middle- and middle-level officers, and they also supported Mai Feng's views in various ways, and for a time there were a large number of calls for severe punishment of those responsible within the Colonial Security Federation.

This remark is very reasonable in the eyes of many people, and since the person in charge of security has not done a good job, it is natural to be responsible.

However, to others, these words have completely different meanings, such as several admirals of Li Xingqi's direct fleet, Bai Tao, Luo Zhang, Sui Jin and others.

Although Mai Feng blamed the security department, how could these fleet commanders who directly belonged to Li Xingqi completely get rid of the relationship, and now they could arrest the escort team and shoot them, and they could naturally remove all of them from their posts in the next step.

Therefore, Bai Tao, Luo Zhang, and others immediately launched a counterattack, claiming that the murder of Li Xingqi has not yet been investigated, and it is extremely irresponsible to arbitrarily put the responsibility on some people.

The two sides have fought a war of words in public opinion, but Mai Feng is old after all, and he has no responsibility for this matter, so he can open fire casually in a water mouth war, and Bai Tao and others are difficult to get rid of their responsibilities no matter what they say, and public opinion has always been in an unfavorable situation.

In the end, Mai Feng took Bai Tao, Luo Zhang and others into the army, saying that they did nothing after Li Xingqi's accident, and they couldn't even catch the real murderer so far, and they didn't take any measures against the remnants of the local rebels, so they were really inactive.

This made Bai Tao and the others speechless, although they have been urging the subordinates to try their best to investigate, but the progress of the matter is not smooth, and it is difficult to tell if they are attacked by Mai Feng and others.

Seeing that Bai Tao and others were losing in public opinion, Mai Feng even put on his old qualifications, claiming that it was an eventful time, and the most important thing was to elect a person who could replace Li Xingqi as soon as possible to continue to lead the work of the Colonization and Security Federation.

At this time, Mai Feng finally revealed his true purpose, and a discerning person knew at a glance that Mai Feng was planning to use the advantage of public opinion to prepare for reaching the pinnacle of power.

Bai Tao and others were not Mai Feng's opponents in public opinion, so they could only take other measures, and after some discussion, several people decided to launch a series of military operations as a means to counterattack Mai Feng and others.

A few days later, the occupying forces of the White Lion Star suddenly launched a large-scale arrest operation, and many suspected former rebels were arrested.

Among these people who were arrested, there were naturally many real rebels, but there were also a large number of innocent people, but the soldiers did not care about these at all, as long as there was the slightest suspicion, they were all arrested, and the slightest resistance was immediately executed.

The situation in White Lion Star suddenly became extremely tense, and the reconciliation situation that Li Xingqi had created with great difficulty before was suddenly destroyed. Some of the people who worked beside Li Xingqi saw that the situation was so tense that the entire White Lion Star was already in a mess, and hurriedly reported to He Yan.

He Yan knew Li Xingqi's mind best, and when she saw that her previous efforts had come to naught, she couldn't help but be very angry, and immediately contacted Bai Tao and others, asking them to stop the large-scale arrest operation.

Bai Tao and the others had already launched an action at this time, how could they easily stop, they simply prevaricated in the past, but nothing changed.

He Yan saw that Bai Tao and the others had lost control, so she had no choice but to bring Mai Feng, Chi Xiaoyuan and others over to discuss countermeasures. On the one hand, Mai Feng promised to condemn Bai Tao and others, and on the other hand, he also proposed that he needed higher authority to order Bai Tao, Luo Zhang and others.

Chi Xiao saw that Mai Feng took the opportunity to seek more power, and even though he objected, saying that Mai Feng did not have such qualifications, and now that Li Xingqi has died, such a major matter must be decided by a new successor.

The two quarreled as they spoke, and in the end the meeting did not end in anything, but only made the relationship between Mai Feng and Chi Xiaoyuan more and more tense.

Although He Yan is Li Xingqi's closest person, she has been in charge of administrative work all these years, and it is difficult to restrain these generals who have mastered the fleet.

What's more, He Yan is not familiar with the officers below, even if he wants to find someone to replace Mai Feng and the others, it will be difficult to do it in a short time.

In desperation, He Yan had no choice but to announce that the Colonization and Security Federation would hold a meeting in the near future to discuss the selection of the new chairman of the Military Commission. This method really worked, and when the people of each faction heard that a new successor was to be chosen, they all expressed their approval, and at the same time expressed their willingness to put aside their differences for the time being, and wait for the results of the meeting.

However, this is just He Yan's delaying tactic, in her mind, Mai Feng and these people are all brave and unscrupulous, and it may be difficult to convince them if any of them succeeds Li Xingqi.

But now there are already various factions within the Colonization and Security Federation, if there is no backbone, I am afraid that there will be infighting next, He Yan in view of the current situation, he has to throw a big pie first, so that these people can temporarily focus on this meeting.

When Li Xingqi was dying, he once told He Yan that if the situation got out of control, let her go to Liu Yi for help.

But the situation was developing too fast, He Yan didn't expect that these people couldn't wait for a long time, Li Xingqi's funeral had not yet been held, and they all made a fuss, and she didn't dare to leave half a step at all.

He Yan set the meeting place in the Sea Eagle Galaxy, on the one hand, because the headquarters of the Colonization and Security Federation was there, and on the other hand, He Yan also prevented these people from harming the foundation of the Seawolf Galaxy.

Just as He Yan was about to leave for the Sea Eagle Galaxy, an unexpected major event broke out.

Bai Tao, Luo Zhang and others are arresting people more and more, and there is a trend of thought among the officers and soldiers below at some point, blaming Li Xingqi's death on the heads of the people of Baishixing.

It is precisely because of this idea that the soldiers cannot treat the people with a good face, and the beatings and scolding are already light, and the slightest resistance will be killed immediately.

Soon this practice caused a large-scale revolt among the people, who were originally biased towards the rebels and had very little favor for Li Xingqi's army, and such a large-scale arrest would naturally trigger a strong resistance.

There were large-scale riots in many cities of the White Lion Star, and Bai Tao and others immediately ordered the army to suppress them, but the more they suppressed the riots, the more people came, it can be seen that there was obvious premeditation and organization behind these riots, and the rebels were waiting for such an opportunity, and now Bai Tao and others finally created the conditions.

Seeing that the riot was intensifying, Bai Tao and the others finally panicked, and hurriedly ordered the army to be withdrawn to the battleship, giving up the ground.

This incident has attracted cynicism within the Colonial Alliance and other military alliances, who have ridiculed Li Xingqi's death and his subordinates cannot even suppress a riot.

Bai Tao, Luo Zhang and others discussed, and finally decided to directly use the fleet to bombard the major cities of the White Lion Star in order to intimidate the rioters.

This was a one-sided massacre, countless innocent people were wiped out along with the city in the attack of the fleet, and the cities of more than a dozen white lion stars directly turned into a white land.

When the news reached the outside world, the entire empire was in an uproar, and no one expected that Bai Tao and others would dare to be so ruthless and directly turn the White Lion Star into a wasteland.

However, people can only condemn them in public opinion, and there is no means to really dare to punish Bai Tao and others.

In fact, Bai Tao and others are not afraid of the condemnation of public opinion, but they care more about their prestige and status in the Colonial Security Federation.

These people are all Li Xingqi diehards, Li Xingqi's death made these people angry, and they always wanted to find someone to avenge Li Xingqi, and now Bai Tao and Luo Zhang's behavior just satisfied the wishes of these people.

After destroying the White Lion Star, Bai Tao and the others couldn't stay in the Lion King Galaxy, so they didn't stop doing anything and bombed all the military facilities on the other two planets to the ground, completely setting back the development of this galaxy by decades.

The Lion King Galaxy, which Li Xingqi had obtained with great difficulty, completely lost the meaning of occupation under the toss of Bai Tao and others, so the three fleets simply returned to the Sea Eagle Galaxy, preparing to participate in the competition for Li Xingqi's successor.

Now Bai Tao and the others plan to be reckless to the end, if anyone opposes them, they will directly use force to solve it, and the three fleets are enough to make Mai Feng and the others obediently shut up.

Bai Tao and the others' plans were quickly leaked out, and Mai Feng, Chi Xiaoyuan and others were taken aback, they didn't expect that these people didn't follow the rules of the game at all, and they planned to forcibly seize power by force.

Mai Feng and the others have been in charge of the fleet for many years, and they naturally have fleets under their command, so they have ordered to transfer the fleet under their control to the Sea Eagle Galaxy.

He Yan, who was originally going to go to the Sea Eagle Galaxy, had to suspend her trip after hearing these news, and now the Sea Eagle Galaxy has become a huge powder keg, and the slightest spark will cause an explosion, and she really has no confidence that she can calm down in all aspects.

He Yan locked herself in the room and thought about it all day, and finally said to her secretary: "Don't go to the Sea Eagle Galaxy, get ready, I'm going to Yaqiu!" ”

The secretary was taken aback and asked in disbelief, "At this time?" Going to Yaqiu? ”
