Starlight Kingdom. Tengyuan Star Field.

This star field was originally the capital of the Lanofi Kingdom, but due to its developed economy, superior geographical conditions, and the protection of interstellar fortresses, it has now been selected as the new capital of the kingdom.

At this time, the kingdom has a territory of more than two hundred star fields, and has become the number one force in the Prison Soul Star Sea, and within two thousand light years around the kingdom, there is no higher or lower force that can compete with it, if it is not for the fact that the newly acquired territory has not yet been digested, it will not be a problem to grab dozens of star fields!

The kingdom is now basically not short of territory, most of the mineral resources can be found on the domestic resource planet, supporting smelting and processing industries, and even an independent industrial system are gradually and orderly established!

The first batch of star fields to be incorporated into the kingdom's rule, at this time, all the infrastructure has been put in place, and it has begun to become the main source of taxes for the kingdom! A lot of investment, finally see the return!

The project team under the leadership of Hu Quanjun has made significant progress, and the first batch of genetic optimization reagents processed and refined with dozens of different fungal spores as alternative raw materials have been monitored, and the clinical effect is not inferior to similar products!

The cost of this fungal version of gene optimization reagents is only one-tenth of that of similar products, and one-seventh of that of third-level and fourth-grade products; And with the subsequent progress, the cost will continue to fall!

As for the fungal version of the reagent above level 5, it is still being studied, and it will not be long before a qualified finished product will be produced! At that time, the strength of the Kingdom Ability Legion will surely increase again!

With the assistance of many experts stationed by the Empire, the first "Xilong"-class battleship finally successfully rolled off the production line and passed the technical test, which is no different from the model used by the Imperial Praetorian Guard Legion!

In addition to this state-of-the-art production line, there are several similar warship production lines, such as the slightly inferior "Cloud Shark" class production line, which is a gift from the Yun Family's Power Elders' Council, and several others, which were privately obtained for him by the clone organization, and now they have all been installed and debugged and put into use one by one!

Building a battleship independently requires the cooperation of thousands of supporting factories! Battleship shell, main gun, secondary gun, energy reactor, main control optical brain, ship ecosystem, escape equipment, as well as various reconnaissance and detection instruments, supporting ammunition, mecha, space fighters and so on! There must be a professional department in charge!

To be able to solve these problems perfectly means that the country's industrial manufacturing level has reached a very high level!

After a long and unremitting effort, the kingdom has begun to truly have the atmosphere of a great power! ――

After more than a month of delay from the scheduled time, on this day, the camp of Empress Fang Yuqing, the supreme ruler of the Shuofeng Empire, finally arrived near the capital of the kingdom!

Yun Haoyu led a large number of civil and military officials to greet him, and the venue of the welcome ceremony was chosen in the military fortress near the wormhole.

The Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Zhong Mingrui, and the Deputy Prime Minister Crassus are personally responsible for arranging all the matters in the welcome ceremony, after all, this is the first time since the establishment of the Kingdom to welcome a visit from a foreign head of state, and it is also the empress of a superpower, so there is no room for a difference!

Although the two parties have a marriage contract and can be regarded as a family, the foreign affairs activities between countries still have to be carried out in accordance with international practices, and they must not be sloppy at all!

Su Shangqing was in charge of the security aspects of the welcome ceremony, and at this time he was also patrolling back and forth in the void near the fortress.

The empress's camp was about to arrive in two hours, and after several rounds of investigation, nothing unusual was found, and his heart relaxed slightly, and he ordered Li Xingyan, who had been following him, to continue his duty on his behalf, and he went back to the fortress to rest for a while.

As the number one person in the kingdom's security department, his treatment is naturally not bad, he has his own independent villa suite in the fortress, the interior decoration is luxurious and elegant, and all the furniture and facilities are the best specialties of the kingdom!

Entering the door and sitting down on the couch in the living room, the beautiful biochemical lieutenant immediately brought snacks and coffee.

Before he could take a few bites, a message came from his brain, and he shrugged his shoulders a little depressedly: "Damn!" I don't even have the time to drink a glass of water! Do you still want people to live? ”

Complaining is complaining, but he still answered immediately.

Crassus's image appeared in front of him, and he smiled and said, "Are you free?" I prepared a thin wine, I don't know if I would like to come over and enjoy it? ”

Su Shangqing was a little surprised, his friendship with him can only be regarded as average, what is he doing when he has nothing to do with inviting himself to drink?

"Why don't you come if you have a drink?" After pondering quickly in his heart, he replied with a smile:

"Wait a few minutes, it'll be there soon!"

With that, he tidied up a little, got up and went out.

The residences of the two important ministers were not far apart, and they arrived quickly.

The other party was already waiting at the door, and when he saw him coming, he stepped forward and politely greeted him a few words, and then welcomed him in.

The sumptuous banquet had already been prepared, and the two of them were seated separately, and the biochemical butler sent out the maids in the dining room, and then closed the door.

Su Shangqing looked at the young man with blond hair and heavy eyes, and asked gently, "I don't know if Your Excellency has anything you want to talk about?" ”

When the kingdom was first established, most of the people who were in charge of the important weapons of the country were young people like them, so they had not yet been infected with the hypocrisy, pompousness, and flashy bad style of those old state officialdoms!

When everyone discusses problems, they all go straight to the point, and everything is based on efficiency! There are not so many polite words Lang wastes time.

The wine glass that Crassus had just picked up was put down again, and said with a solemn expression: "My lord, I called you here this time, I just have some questions in my heart, and I want to ask for advice, I wonder if you are willing to solve your doubts for you?" ”

Su Shangqing nodded: "You say!" ”

"We are all courtiers of the kingdom, and we should always put the good of the kingdom first! Is that so? He asked.

"Of course! Is there anything wrong with this? ”

Crassus raised his hand and picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip slowly, and said, "What do you think is the impact of His Majesty's marriage with that empress on the interests of the kingdom?" ”

Su Shangqing's movements couldn't help but stagnate, his dark eyes stared at him, and only after a moment did he say, "From the current point of view, it is very beneficial to the kingdom!" ”

"Yes, it can be said that the kingdom was able to have today's territory and construction achievements so quickly, and it is inseparable from the strong support of the empire! Now there are hundreds of millions of experts and scholars from the empire in China, and technical elites help us to build! Crassus said quickly.

"The question is, how long can this last? Or how long can the honeymoon period last for two countries? If, for some reason, the Empire no longer supports us, or even speaks ill of us, how should we respond? ”

The smile on Su Shangqing's face froze: "Why do you think that such a situation will definitely appear in the near future?" ”

"Quite simply, there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests!" Crassus knocked on the table and said, "Supporting a country with a certain strength in the Prison Soul Star Sea is undoubtedly beneficial to the current empire!" That's why the empress is so generous! But there is a premise for this, that is, the Starlight Kingdom must be obedient! ”

"At present, the interests of the two countries are highly aligned! Basically, there will be no problem! But in the near future, as the kingdom continues to expand, and its territory and strength grow, will the top brass of the empire still be so reassuring to us? When they find out that the country is no longer willing to be an obedient little brother, will they still give us a good look? ”

Su Shangqing said with some uncertainty: "The empress is very fond of our majesty, she ...... Wouldn't do that? ”

"No matter how good the empress is to Your Majesty, she is also the empress of the Shuofeng Empire first and foremost, and behind her is the huge interest class of the empire! She, of course, will only prioritize the interests of the Empire! Whether she wants it or not! Crassus said, "When one day, the Empire's soldiers also point to the Prison Soul Star Sea, how should we deal with ourselves?" Surrender? This country was fought by our Majesty and your Majesty in a bloody battle! How can it be handed over? If not, then the two countries will only have swords and soldiers to meet! ”

"Even if His Majesty becomes her man and sleeps by her side every day, this is a problem that cannot be avoided!"

Su Shangqing was silent.

To be honest, he hadn't really thought about it before! I just saw the benefits of cooperating with the Empire, but I didn't know that there was no free lunch in the world! How much you get now, sooner or later you will have to pay it back in the future!

From this point of view, it can be found that the current kingdom is too dependent on the empire! You have to plan ahead! so as not to suffer losses in the future!

Yun Haoyu's temperament, he understands, and it is impossible for him to be confused about this kind of principle for the sake of a woman! Then, it's really hard to say how long this marriage can last!

These two Majesties can be called the masters of great talents, and they will never be ambiguous about issues involving national interests! No matter how good the relationship between the two is, it's the same!

"How are you doing?" After a while, Su Shangqing raised his head, looked at him and asked slowly:

"Inform Your Majesty of your opinion? Prevent the marriage of the two countries? I'm afraid I'll have to turn against the empire now! ”

Crassus hurriedly waved his hand: "Of course I didn't mean that, I specially invited you to talk about this, just hoping that you can be prepared in your heart, don't wait until the situation changes suddenly in the future, and the top of the kingdom will be passive everywhere!" ”

"You must have said that to more than one person, right?" Su Shangqing suddenly smiled and said, "Moreover, you still hope that I can talk to Your Majesty and let him understand the stakes?" ”

"That's right, that's it! Your friendship with Your Majesty is far beyond what you can match, so it will be better if you come forward to persuade you! Crassus said calmly.

Su Shangqing shook his head helplessly: "Don't you just want me to be a wicked person?" You! There are so many twists and turns in the stomach! ”

"I have to admit, though, that you do see politics more than we do! It's beyond my reach! In the future, I will ask you to pay more attention to this aspect! ”

"As it should be!" Crassus laughed.
