Chapter 24: Danger lurks
In the battleship conference room, Vice Admiral Brann sat on the first seat, there were still six or seven people sitting around the round table, a holographic projection appeared in the center of the round table, and a major general officer stood straight and glanced at the officers present in the circle, and bowed slightly to Vice Admiral Brann and said: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, hello!" ”
Brann clasped his hands and said, "General Temont, I haven't seen you for some days, and it seems that life has been very easy!" ”
Temont laughed in the projection, and then said, "I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!" ”
Bryan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll know when I see you appear, let's say, what are the orders of the military department?" ”
Temont said: "The Northern Fortress lost a battleship formation this time, Vice Admiral Kyle was ambushed by the Arda people, 30,000 soldiers of the whole army were killed, and only two TX-class escort ships escaped back, the government and the opposition were furious, so the marshal was under a lot of pressure, and asked when you can return to space to make up for the frontline soldiers!" ”
Brann said: "We also want to return to space as soon as possible and serve the country, but this time the electromagnetic reactor is a little troublesome, and it is estimated that it will be delayed for a day or two!" ”
Temont's golden eyes blinked, "Then congratulations to the general's battleship for being upgraded again!" ”
Brann was surprised and said, "Tomorrow evening at the latest, my battleship force will be able to take to the skies!" ”
Temont said: "Then I'll report to the third marshal!" ”
Brann nodded, "Yes, but I'd like to ask General Kyle about him."
"The battleship was destroyed, but he escaped, and the Imperial Military Tribunal decided to hang him, hoping that Vice Admiral Brann would not make his mistake!" After speaking, Temont said with a noble and arrogant expression: "I wish the general's fleet a victory!" ”
The holographic video disappeared, and Bryan leaned back on the back of the chair behind him, and then looked at everyone: "Lieutenant General Kyle is also an experienced general, no matter what, it is impossible to defeat so badly, besides, although we have been at war with the Arda people, there has been no large-scale war for twenty years, something is wrong this time!" ”
"But General, no matter what we do, we can only win and not lose, otherwise the Empire will definitely deal with us like General Kyle!" A colonel said.
This is a female major who said: "It's hard to say, my family says that some old nobles will deliberately frame the new aristocratic class to avoid the rise of the new aristocracy!" ”
Brann closed his eyes and thought for a while and said, "The intelligence officer has compiled a copy of the battle reports of the Northern Front for the last two months!" Then he looked at the female major and said, "Mina, the recent events in the palace depend on you to collect an intelligence information for me!" ”
"Yes!" The two nodded in response.
Brann finally stood up and said, "Bring it to my office before dinner, and now the meeting will be dismissed!" ”
Lieutenant General Brann, who returned to his apartment, immediately dialed Thunder's phone, and Thunder looked at his old friend in a shiny military uniform: "What's the matter, that kid has caused trouble for you just a few days ago?" ”
Bryan said, "You just don't have confidence in that kid in your family? ”
The corners of Thunder's mouth smiled, and then said, "You better just say something!" ”
Lieutenant General Brann sat down in his soft chair and said, "I wonder how Lieutenant General Kyle failed?" ”
Thunder thought for a while and said: "This matter is quite a big trouble, especially Kyle was executed, which made a group of veterans dissatisfied, but His Majesty is on the side of the old nobles this time, I'm afraid he also wants to put some pressure on us!" ”
"I just don't know why our intelligence system hasn't sent any news to us!" Brann was dissatisfied: "30,000 people at a time, I don't know who the opponent is, you must know that although the side plug has been fighting a little bit constantly, it has been a long time since there has been such a big incident!" ”
Thunder frowned and said, "You mean, he's afraid that he was also betrayed?" ”
Brann said: "I don't want to be like him, like your son before, lose inexplicably!" ”
Thunder said: "When the war broke out, I had only been back for a few days, so I didn't have many people, but this time I think your assumption can be mentioned to Your Majesty!" ”
"What's the use of mentioning it, wait until we lose another battleship formation?" Brann disgruntled.
Thunder said: "Don't say that, if we really have bureaucrats who betray the army, then we must also know the motives of the other party!" ”
Bryan looked at Thunder with some hesitation: "What do you mean?"
"The other party dares to make such a big move, and even sacrifices the interests of the army to curry favor with the Arda people, I think the purpose is just to wait for His Majesty to abdicate or carry out a palace change!" Lei Ting said: "There is no clear evidence to prove the existence of this hypothesis, but I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will still scruple when he sits in that position, that position is too fragrant!" ”
Brann said: "It's been a constitutional monarchy for so many years, what else do you want!" ”
"Hehe, even if the monarchy is constitutional, the emperor is also the symbol of the supreme ruler, maybe his power is limited a lot, but it is easy to influence the direction of the court!"
"And who do you think it will be?"
"I don't know any of this, His Majesty the Emperor is old, and he has become extravagant in the past ten years, I'm afraid it won't be long before I doubt that your phone calls are being monitored!" Thunder said.
Brann was a little surprised: "Then you dare to say that?" ”
Lei Ting smiled: "I have done anti-eavesdropping technology, this call you made will not appear in the communication record, and it is protected by encrypted channels, so don't worry!" ”
Brann said: "I'm going to take your kid into space tomorrow, you should bless me!" ”
Thunder shook his head with a smile: "Don't underestimate that kid, he is a person who has died once, and now he is very smart and has a strong will to survive, so let me tell you a piece of news, I heard that this time the Arda people on the northern front sent several newly rising young generals, one of them is a leader of their generation, what is the name has not been found out, I only heard that it is a woman, very young, and extremely cunning in war, over there is the idol of the younger generation!" ”
"I'm an old man who is about to enter the ground before climbing to the position of lieutenant general, what rank is that woman?" Bryan asked.
Lei Ting smiled and said: "Twenty-four years old, commander of the battleship formation, with the rank of major general!" ”
"Exceptional promotion?" Brann immediately felt the cattiness in it!
Lei Ting nodded: "At present, the Ministry of Intelligence seems to be quite concerned about her, by the way, I heard that the eldest princess has always been dissatisfied with the Ministry of Intelligence, you said that I went to lobby Your Majesty this time, will she take the opportunity to seize power if she knows?" ”
"I'm not afraid of a soldier like a pig, I'm most afraid of a leader like a pig, although the eldest princess is the eldest daughter of the prince, I have to admit that she has been talented since she was a child, I really want to support her, but she seems to be just trying to help her father, His Royal Highness the Prince, succeed to the throne!"
Lei Ting couldn't help but tap his fingers on the table, and after thinking about it for a moment or two, he said: "Then I'll listen to you and sell her a favor, after all, a group of people in the damn intelligence system are all eating dry food, and we don't feel safe at all when we are soldiers!" ”
"You're really good at political intrigue, I won't participate, I just have to stand in line when the time comes, and live until I retire!" Brann sighed, "That's it, I'm a little bottom!" ”
Lei Ting said: "I'll help you keep an eye on it, if the other party is not stupid, he shouldn't do it again for the time being!" ”
Brann nodded, "With you putting pressure on them, they won't be happy!" ”
"Again and again, do they really think that my thunder is easy to bully?" Thunder finally said ruthlessly, turning off the video call.
