Chapter 151: The Sword in the Dark (I)

Confederation VII Intercontinental High Seaway.

The intercontinental high sea channel refers to the cosmic standard safe sea route between the federal administrative satellites that can be used for light navigation. At present, black DNG transition navigation can only meet the long-distance voyage between galaxies, and it is geographically limited. Therefore, between the administrative stars of the Federation, it mainly relies on the safe passage that regularly clears the space of floating debris to meet the needs of Ji Tong.

The Federation has a total of five administrative stars, except for the Othello Planet, which is isolated outside the Alpha Circle, including the Alpha Planet of the Federation, a total of four administrative stars make up the main territory of the Federation, the Alpha Circle.

Between these four major administrative stars, the Federation has invested in the establishment of six intercontinental high shipping lanes that can be used to communicate with each administrative star, and named after the six numbers from one to six. The passage of Othello in Proxima Centauri, with Alpha as the destination, is the Federation's No. 7 Intercontinental High Seaway.

Intercontinental High Sea Lane 7 is an extremely long standard cosmic route, and its distance is even ten times longer than the other six intercontinental high sea lanes combined. From Othello to Alpha, it takes as long as two and a half months to sail all the way to Alpha. It is precisely for this reason that Othello, which is also one of the five administrative stars, is ostracized by the Alpha Metropolitan Circle, and the federal citizens living in the metropolitan circle are also accustomed to using the derogatory term 'rural people' with the characteristics of the old times to describe the federal citizens living on the Othello planet.

Being discriminated against because of distance may sound ridiculous. But in fact, measuring the social relationship between each other by distance has been a long-standing problem of human beings. In the Alpha Circle, if someone wants to go to Othello, they can reach Proxima Centauri in less than five minutes through the Alpha Galaxy's binary black DNG. However, if it comes out of Proxima Centauri, it will take two and a half months of boring sailing to reach the Alpha Circle.

This is a completely unequal condition, so it is inevitable that the federal citizens of Othello will be discriminated against by the citizens of the metropolitan circle.

Similarly, it is precisely because of the presence of the binary star black DNG on Planet Alpha that the long intercontinental high sea route 7 has become a one-way shipping lane. All transports circled by Alpha will arrive in Proxima Centauri via the Double Star Black DNG, so most of the starships that will take Intercontinental Passage 7 are empty ships that have unloaded their cargo and returned home at Othello.

Due to the inconvenience of Jitong, Proxima Centauri hardly operates any large-scale manufacturing industry except for military equipment, and the high transportation costs are too high for merchants to afford. Therefore, only the manufacturing merchants in the Alpha Metropolitan Circle will dump materials in the Proxima Centauri Sphere, and there will never be any manufacturing merchants in the Proxima Centauri Circle to carry out anti-dumping, which makes the prices and supply of materials in the Proxima Sphere seriously affected by the Alpha Metropolitan Circle. It is no exaggeration to say that if the major manufacturing giants in the Alpha Metropolitan Circle stop supplying Proxima Centauri, then the local Type XI manufacturing merchants in Proxima Centauri alone will definitely not be able to supply the market demand of Othello, and it will be inevitable that the public will riot* due to inflation.

Controlling the Jitong, controlling the economy, and controlling the supply of materials, the Alpha Circle has completely mastered the lifeblood of Proxima Centauri through these few items. Therefore, the presidents of the Federation will be relieved and bold to station 80% of the country's troops in Proxima Centauri, even if the Osvid family, who secretly rules there, runs the largest military factory and arms trade in the Federation, the Federal President has no fear of facing the threat of a military coup.

This preconceived notion has been ingrained in the minds of the Federation, and even a guy like Calvin, who has excellent DNG discernment, never considered that Ansel's coup would take the route of a military coup.

Resolving politics in the political arena is an idea shared by most people, including Federal President Dawson.

In the entire federation, perhaps only Robin is the most sober. He was the only one who firmly believed that Anse Air was destined to take the path of a military coup, and although he had not yet figured out how Anse Air would be able to complete such an impossible surprise attack, his secret feeling told him that Anse Air would definitely do it.

In fact, Robin's guess was right. The political offensive that Ainsel had created was just an illusion he wanted to create, a ploy he used to distract Dawson. As Robin had guessed, he never expected to be able to gain power from politicians alone, and he always believed that only force was the only shortcut to wealth and power.

At present, on the empty intercontinental high sea channel of the Federation VII, a large fleet of five 100-million-ton Humpback Whale Type XI transport ships is sailing at a high level, and in the front, which is tens of millions of kilometers away, two fleets of six 40-million-ton Humpback Whale Type VIII transport ships are also sailing at a constant high level. And even in the rear of the fleet, two fleets of equal numbers were dragging behind not far behind.

If the CIA is still operating normally under Dawson's direct control, then the relevant investigation report will definitely be delivered to President Dawson's desk as soon as possible. But now, the federal Congress has officially entered the impeachment process against Dawson, and has banned Dawson's authority to exercise state rights in accordance with the law, although this will not affect the daily official affairs of the Federation, but for the CIA, the Central Bureau of Investigation, and other intelligence agencies directly responsible to the president, its impact cannot be ignored.

Under this model, the two intelligence services, which have tentacles across the country, have lost their top leaders, and have not only been denied special authorization documents from the president, but have also been unable to carry out their daily work. As a result, since Dawson was removed from the presidency, the operations of the two branches have largely come to a standstill, and they will not be able to function again until the impeachment process is over and a new president takes office. And the intelligence gap during this period has become the best fighter in the eyes of Ansair.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that this Ansel, who should have been a piece of rotten ruin and should have been soaked in the training pod and waiting for death, had magically appeared in the bridge of the flagship of this fleet at this moment.

His face was as handsome as ever, and he sat at a classical aristocratic dining table with a radiant face. Audrey Rex, who was gorgeously dressed and dressed like a princess, sat quietly across from him and had lunch with the man who had killed her father.

"Are you going to keep that attitude until the end of the trip?" Gently shaking the red wine in his glass, Anse El looked at Audrey Rex, who was sitting across from him, with an interested gaze.

"Am I supposed to flatter you like a girl? Or rather, wagging his tail at you like a pet you have? ”

Fourteen-year-old Audrey Rex seems to have suddenly grown up, witnessing the impact of her father, Brandon Rex, being wiped out by railgun fire, apparently turning this once innocent girl into a different person.

"You hate me?" Ansel pursed his lips with a look of regret.

"Shouldn't I hate a man who killed my father?" Audrey clenched the silver knife and fork in her hand, trying her best to suppress the terrible thought in her heart that she wanted to stab the other party to death.

"My Queen, please pay attention to your manners, it is not a good habit to use rhetorical questions frequently." As if he had suddenly lost the mood to eat, he threw away the knife and fork in his hand, walked slowly behind Audrey, held her shoulder and whispered, "You shouldn't hate me, it was your father who chose this path himself." And I was very generous to give him any enjoyment he dreamed of in the last moments of his life and the reputation after death, which is a simple Ji Yi, a very simple Ji Yi. Plus, I buried him myself, didn't I? ”
