The waves hidden in the upper echelons of the empire are far more intense than they appear.

In the middle of the Imperial Boundary, the Imperial fleet reflecting the light of the stars is confronting the distant Sipon battle ship group in the public domain. After Cao Shidao's destroyer broke and fled, the Fifth Fleet of the Eagle Empire, Bit's advance attack fleet pursued and pursued fiercely, and a Xipang Dreadnought-class support ship was sunk in Baishazhou, and seeing Cao Shidao fleeing to the "Shumaker" asteroid gravel area, he encountered the asteroid group yīn secretly turned out to receive the Xipang battle ship group.

According to the analysis of its characteristics, this combat ship group belongs to the "Tiger Shark" combat group of the First Space Division of the Xipang Ace Fleet, and it should have been deployed in advance to meet Cao Shidao's path under extraordinary circumstances.

At this time, the Tiger Shark Combat Ship Group and the Eagle Empire Pursuit Fleet were tense, and the combat ships of the two sides cruised and swam each other at the maximum attack distance, and each other's gun doors and high-speed missile bays pointed at each other in the distance.

The location of the Congressional Emergency Response Committee was brightly lit, and the Department of Defense Operations Command Center was silent.

Countless people, ignoring the sweat on their foreheads or backs, in an extremely depressed atmosphere, looked at the images transmitted in real time from the Bit Advance Strike Fleet on the big screen, and the various close-up pictures of the group of Xipang combat ships in the asteroid area.

On the screen, the Xipang battleship only showed a metal hull dragon spine in the light of the universe, and the gun door pointed directly at the fleet of the Great Eagle Empire with a deep contemplation. And at that time, the war between the Great Eagle Empire and Sipang will inevitably come.

Because both sides are each other's sharp troops, so in this situation is extremely tense, as if both of them have buckled the triggers of their pistols and pointed at each other, there is still no situation where the ships under their command are the first to fire the first shot because the commander's nervous strings are too tight, and the consequences are out of control. They are all waiting for the order of the High Command, and it is believed that at this moment, the high-level leaders behind the two empires have experienced an extremely difficult choice and a fierce battle between heaven and man in a short period of time.

At this time, the hall of the operational command center of the Ministry of National Defense suddenly opened, and the officers who hurriedly came in held the information in their hands, and shouted at the Charles who was standing on the side of the many cāo platforms in the command center looking at the combat parameter screen, "Mr. Reporting According to the information from the Fifth Fleet of the New South Star, General Tian arrived at the battlefield in time and rescued Colonel Xu Teng to prevent the tactical purpose of the Xipang Royal Domineering Force, so the Xipang destroyer that fled at this time did not capture the first target person."

The uproar resounded through the command center.

"General Tian is mighty"

"First Target Survival"

"Our assault fleet also buried one of their Dreadnought-class support ships on their doorstep forever"

"Just know that the people of Sipang will only bluff"

This exciting news arrived at the operational command center of the Ministry of National Defense, causing countless tense officers, staff officers, and generals to cheer for the first time, clenched their fists, and applauded vigorously. Immediately, the command center conducted a light-year fleet communication, instructing the already ready Bit Attack Fleet to cancel the operation.

At the last moment, the entire Bit attack ship group received the highest authorization from the Ministry of Defense, the preparation for war was canceled, the tactical movement was stopped, and the attack distance was widened by retreating.

The Xipang receiving fleet on the opposite side was obviously relieved, and Cao Shidao's car plunged into the fleet and began to withdraw from the battlefield under the watchful eye of the bit attack ship group.

Looking at the Xipang ship group slowly disappearing in the field of vision, the entire Eagle Empire Advance Fleet, the Congressional Emergency Committee, and everyone in the Ministry of Defense Operations Command Center breathed a deep sigh of relief at this moment, their vests were full of sweat, and no one knew better than them, just now, the two old empires of the Xipang and the Great Eagle Empire waved up, ready to collide, and set off a huge interstellar war storm fists, under their noses, they staggered by

The Congressional Emergency Committee that got the final news ended, and many nobles waiting outside the Capitol Hill, the parliamentarians got this information, and everyone's original worried, angry or dignified demeanor finally had some gloom at this moment, and this war that finally did not break out can be said to be the blessing of the empire and the blessing of all living beings. Many parliamentarians and nobles rushed to convey the good news to their factions as soon as possible.

And the Minister of Defense Charder, who returned to the minister's office, was receiving a top-secret report on the process of the New South Star incident from a higher authority

Lieutenant General Stephen pounded the table opposite him and said angrily, "This crisis is actually caused by the Imperial Bureau of Investigation avoiding the military's monitoring and taking the initiative to detain Xu Teng, an important core figure, If Xu Teng was not in Xinnanxing at the time, and the Investigation Bureau did not leak the news from the inside, there would be no attack by Cao Shidao and the royal overbearing forces." Of course, we need to purge the Empire of traitors, but in the whole matter, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation will bear the main responsibility."

The Imperial Bureau of Investigation is a member of the Imperial Congress, which has oversight powers at both the military and political levels, and is authorized by the Congress to "investigate crimes against the Empire." Therefore, the Imperial Investigation Department has tentacles all over the entire empire in a certain way, and it has great power, and in the matter of Xu Teng, it is completely possible to conceal the military intelligence department. It's just that he didn't realize Xu Teng's important xìng, and the intelligence system during the investigation process obviously also had spies buried by Xi Pang, so he was exploited by Xi Pang, although Cao Shidao's action failed, but in the end the empire also paid a lot of price, in this regard, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation has an unshirkable responsibility.

Sharde raised his head, looked at the lieutenant general bred by the old aristocratic family in front of him, and said, "You should understand that the Imperial Investigation Bureau is certainly inseparable, but behind this, after all, it is the accident caused by that game. ”

Hearing the "game" in Charles Steel's mouth, Stephen's eyes couldn't help but condense.

In the long history of thousands of years, the empire has achieved thirteen great nobles. In the history of the Empire, this was called the "Thirteen Knights of the Round Table" by the Empire, as the thirteen pillars that have historically consolidated the constitutional monarchy. The thirteen noble families are not known to the common people in today's increasingly advanced imperial society, but only hide behind the scenes, firmly holding the core authority of the empire above the highest seats of those upper houses. Influence is still sown in the Empire's parliament.

But as the parliamentary system evolved, so did the traditions and status of the aristocracy. Not only themselves, but also representatives of the small aristocracy in the House of Commons, as well as representatives of the commoners, challenged the authority of the past. In short, the absolute authority of the great nobles of the House of Lords, represented by the king, is being threatened by the nobles and commoner representatives of the House of Commons, and the nobles of the House of Commons will never be able to reach the height of the House of Lords, so they have to try to overturn the position above so that they can sit on it. The deputies, on the other hand, were not accustomed to the House of Lords' control of parliament, and engaged in various struggles in order to gain greater power.

In this process, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation is a product of the interests of the House of Commons.

"The three starships that paved the way for Xu Teng to die back then really had the decision of the great nobles of the House of Lords?" Stephen frowned.

Charles said lightly, "The three starships have issued a high-level attack on Xu Teng, the reason why the military has approved this plan is naturally not simply the personal action of any general, if there is no greater backstage and power behind this, and can bear the consequences, this is an order that no one in the military, even the greatest general, would dare to make." I can give you a thorough ......" said Harder as he looked at Lieutenant General Stephen and said slowly, "The shadow project buried in Sipon was decreed by the Supreme Resolution of the National Assembly of Guò and authorized by the king's own signature. ”

Lieutenant General Stephen was shocked, "What do you mean...... The Imperial Bureau of Investigation worked so hard to block the news and strictly prosecute Xu Teng in order to prove his guilt...... And once his guilt is proven, then the decision-makers ...... Their targets are ...... Oh my God, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation is actually targeting the King? ”

"What do they want to do to depose the king? Could this be the Prime Minister's..."Stephen choked on the latter, shocking words.

"I don't know what the hell is going on in the House of Commons and the House of Lords, but I know that both sides will at least have a kind of reflection and balance because of this matter, otherwise the conflict will become more and more intense. And perhaps, one day, it will erupt like a planetary volcano, and at that time, the empire may experience a catastrophe."

Charles said lightly, his eyes falling on the top-secret incident report in his hand again.

In this top-secret report, Charles believes that in addition to him, the Minister of Defense, there are not a few people who are eligible to obtain it on Capitol Hill at this time, at least the so-called "Thirteen Knights of the Round Table" nobles, the high-ranking staff of the king and the prime minister, also have such a thing on the table.

On top of this report, Charles was able to see the details of the entire New South Star incident, which was compiled from video recordings and confessions of the parties. The Empire's powerful intelligence system analyzed and summarized the black box images extracted from the battlefield recorder and each surviving mecha to form this report that best represented the truth of the entire incident, and presented it to the people at the highest level of the Empire, so that the New South Star incident could be seen at a glance.

In this report, they can even see the brilliant martyrdom of the Pegasus frigate, the trampling of people when the Seagull passenger ship wrecked, and the brilliance and ugliness of people. The tricks sown by the Xipang destroyer Xuefeng, the raid on the second military base by the Royal Domineering Forces, the resistance of the base and the mechs, the wreckage of Raphael and the Tavasi Air Thieves destroyed by Cao Shidao, the difficult trek of the evacuees from the base, the resistance of the Holy Cross Mecha Group to the Royal Overlord Forces, and even the participation of the air thieves and the top-secret Xipang-style mecha......

And in the whole incident, there was always a young man, in a certain abrupt gesture, from the Seagull passenger ship to the New South Star incident, and even some conspicuous storage on this report, appeared under the noses of these high-ranking people in the empire.

It seems that it is precisely because of the activities of this tiny ant-like youth that at every key turning point, with a small impetus, the direction of the entire overall situation has been changed, so that the Great Eagle Empire and the Xipang Empire, two behemoths that exist like huge stars, did not have a final collision in the end, and they were only passing by and were extremely close to the outbreak of war

When the Xipang Royal Domineering Force attacked the base, if he hadn't provoked the two major air thief forces before, then it would be unlikely that he would be able to contain the pursuing Royal Domineering Force in the end, and Cao Shidao could only come to attack alone, and his combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

And if he hadn't met Xia Ying, then it would have been impossible for him to have noticed the surveillance information sent back by the Guò passenger ship, and then it would be impossible for Charles to use the positioning information of Guò Jiang Zhi to let Tian Fatzi, who went to rescue Xia Ying, accurately arrive at the position where the final Gondor Mecha and Cao Shidao fought, and turned the tide at a critical moment to prevent Cao Shidao from attacking or capturing Xu Teng.

In the whole process, this young man seems to be small, but always with this subtle coincidence and the force of the critical moment, the result of the change and promotion of the whole situation is to avoid a war. Even, it also avoided the terrible consequences caused by the game between the big forces at the top of the empire.

Maybe they'll thank this guy, maybe not.

Charles was so self-deprecating that he closed the report's computer and whispered the name.

"Oh, it's ...... again Lin Hai. ”

Today is still a chapter, so let's organize the outline of the next volume, and it will be fast tomorrow.
