The atmosphere of the birthday party was quite harmonious, and everyone in the castle hall toasted to each other and talked with smiling faces, which seemed very relaxed and comfortable.

The old man Huang Shujian went up to the third floor of the castle shortly after everyone finished toasting, and Huang Qingcang was with him, and then the chairman of Huang Runshan also walked slowly to the third floor.

Outside a room on the third floor of the castle, Huang Runshan knocked on the door quite politely.

"Come in."

An old voice came from the room.

Huang Runshan pushed the door and walked in, and there were two white-haired old men sitting in the room, who were the two brothers Huang Shujian and Huang Qingcang.

"Father, uncle."

Huang Runshan said hello respectfully.

Huang Shujian nodded, and said softly, "Sit down, Runshan." ”

Huang Runshan sat down as he said, raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the two old men, and then said unhurriedly: "Father, I don't know what to do with me?" ”

Before going up to the third floor just now, Huang Qingcang did give his son Huang Runshan a look.

Huang Runshan understood it, and after the two old men climbed to the third floor, they also followed seemingly casually.

Huang Qingcang stroked a handful of gray beards and looked at Huang Runshan, but his slightly cloudy eyes shot a trace of clarity, coughed lightly, and then said slowly: "I heard that the Galactic Alliance has recently had some new moves towards the empire?" ”

Huang Runshan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect his father to ask about this as soon as he opened his mouth, but thinking of his uncle and his four students, he instantly understood that he didn't want his father to worry about some big things, but now that his father has learned the truth. There was no need for him to continue to hide anything, I saw him nod slightly, and said: "Well, something did happen recently, three alliance warships appeared near the Wolf Tooth Experimental Star in the Eastern Region, and launched an attack on the hull of an imperial ship that was on an experimental mission, but those three alliance warships have been wiped out." ”

There was not the slightest surprise on the face of the old man Huang Qingcang, he had heard his younger brother Huang Shujian say about this attack not long ago, and now what he wanted to know was not the superficial information, but the specific content in it. This is also the reason why he asked Huang Runshan to come up. "The Wolf Tooth Star is the hinterland of our Star Luo Empire, and there is a tight defense line arranged by the Eastern Region in the east, isn't it possible that the major defense lines in the Eastern Region have not noticed it in the slightest before? If those three Alliance warships had been more daring, wouldn't they have launched an attack on our central sector? ”

There was a hint of doubt in the old man's tone. At first, he was a little incredulous when he first got this information from his younger brother Huang Shujian. Because in his subconscious. It was almost impossible for such a thing to happen, but he knew that his brother would never play such a joke on him.

Huang Runshang took a light breath and said, "This matter is being investigated intensively by the military. However, as far as the information obtained so far is concerned, it is true that the three alliance warships are not aware of the major defense lines in the east. ”

The old man Huang Qingcang frowned slightly, and said in a slightly solemn tone: "Did they appear out of thin air?" ”

The answer is naturally no, the area where the Star Luo Empire and the Galactic Alliance are connected is currently only known to the area of the front line of the Eastern Region, and if the Alliance's fleet wants to enter the hinterland of the empire, it must pass through the front line of the Eastern Region.

Huang Runshan didn't refute anything, and said calmly: "According to the information obtained by the military so far, there are roughly two directions of speculation, one is that the Galactic Alliance may discover a new star lane, which can bypass the front line of the Eastern Region; Another possibility is that the three ships of the Alliance are new warships that they have developed to evade detection. ”

The old man Huang Shujian on the side had the same solemn face, and asked softly, "Runshan, is that more likely?" ”

Huang Runshan shook his head slightly, and said: "It's not easy to make a conclusion for the time being, at present, the military department has sent a large number of reconnaissance ships to start a carpet search of the area near the Wolf Tooth Star to see if there are any space nodes that can carry out star navigation." In addition, a special investigation and research working group has been set up by the military department to collect as much debris as possible from the explosion of the alliance warships in order to determine whether the three warships are newer warships and may possess certain characteristics. However, both aspects of the work may be an extremely long-term project, and I am afraid that we will not be able to get a definite result in a short period of time. ”

Old Man Huang Shujian hummed lightly and continued: "I hope to get a definite conclusion as soon as possible, but whatever the outcome, this incident is definitely a danger signal for us, and the current balance of the Eastern Region front is likely to be broken, triggering a new round of fierce battles between the Empire and the Alliance, and we are very likely to be in a passive situation from the beginning." ”

"Yes, Runshan, the empire must take the first step to prepare, so as not to temporarily cling to Buddha's feet, which will be greatly disadvantaged." Huang Qingcang reminded in a solemn tone.

Huang Runshan's face was calm, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, I know it." By the way, according to the information currently obtained by the military, the target of this alliance warship attack is likely to be the Phantom mecha developed by you, uncle. ”

"Phantom Mecha?!" The old man Huang Shujian's face changed slightly, revealing a touch of surprise, obviously a little surprised, but he knew that Huang Runshan's words were naturally well-founded.

Huang Runshan continued: "Of course, this is not a 100% conclusion, but it is very likely. This time, the space test area of the Phantom mech was a relatively remote area, and the three warships of the alliance seemed to take that area directly. If they simply want to attack, they can be placed on some more valuable target, rather than a few small and medium-sized warships to cooperate with the test, unless they lock on to the mission target in the first place, and the Phantom Mech is the most likely to be the target of this mission. In addition, the attack of the coalition warship was extremely targeted, using electromagnetic pulse missiles at the beginning, and judging from the surviving surveillance data and personnel survey data of the main ship, the alliance warship did not intend to destroy the main ship during the whole process, but wanted to seem to get something from the main ship. ”

"Oh?!" Huang Shujian thought with a solemn face, according to what Huang Runshan said, the target of the alliance battleship was really likely to be the Phantom Mecha, which did not surprise him. The Phantom Mecha is kept secret almost throughout the whole process from R&D to actual testing, how could the Galactic Alliance target the Phantom Mecha without warning, and it seems that it is not worth it to make such a big move for a mecha that is still in the experimental testing stage, which is also what makes him really a little confused.

So, he asked with a slight doubt: "The Phantom Mecha is almost kept secret from R&D to actual testing, how could they target the Phantom Mecha from the beginning, could it be that they got the relevant information about the Phantom Mecha for space testing early in the morning?" ”

Huang Runshan did not object, and said calmly: "It is very likely that the information I got from the military is that the specific space test area of this phantom mecha test is also strictly confidential, and the warship escorting and cooperating with the test has blocked the external signal after leaving the military base of the Wolf Tooth Star, and only the secret military contact signal is retained, and there are not many people who know the space test area booked by the Zhilu Dao before." ”

Huang Qingcang's eyes narrowed slightly, his essence flashed slightly, and said, "Runshan, do you mean that the military has been mixed with the spies of the Galactic Alliance. ”

Huang Runshan nodded and said, "The authority of the spy in the military is not low, and it is very likely that he is already a middle and senior officer. ”

"Middle-to-senior officers!"

Huang Qingcang and Huang Shujian's old man's faces changed in unison, although Huang Runshan said that it was only possible, but they knew that since the other party said this, I am afraid that it was already a matter of nine times out of ten, such a situation seemed to be much more serious than they thought, and even the middle and high-level of the imperial military had infiltrated the spies of the alliance, which was definitely an extremely dangerous thing.

Old Man Huang Shujian took a light breath and said in a slightly heavy tone: "It seems that the Galactic Alliance has been prepared for a long time, and I am afraid that I have been lurking in the empire for many years to enter the middle and high-level of the military, right?" ”

"Runshan, if only one or two spies are mixed into the middle and upper echelons of the military, it will be nothing, but what I'm worried about is that there are probably more than one or two alliance spies." Huang Qingcang paused for a few seconds, looked at Huang Runshan, and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Huang Runshan replied: "I have already discussed with the people of the Hua family, and I plan to secretly carry out a clean-up operation in the military, conduct a comprehensive inventory of the military, strictly eliminate those with evidence, and secretly monitor the suspects." ”

Huang Qingcang pondered slightly, and then said in a slightly heavy tone: "The spies of the alliance must be resolutely defeated, but we must also pay attention to the method and proportionality when cleaning up, if the fluctuations and shocks of the military are caused by the clean-up operation, it will be more than worth the loss." It seems that the situation between the empire and the alliance is far more complicated than I expected before, Runshan, the burden of the Huang family is about to be on you, and there can be no mistakes. ”

Huang Runshan's face was slightly solemn and nodded lightly.

……

In the hall on the first floor of the castle, Fang Shi and Ye Zhiqiu Shimen stood in a slightly corner place, talking casually while drinking something, except for many people who took the initiative to greet at the beginning of the banquet, only some sporadic people stepped forward to exchange a few words.

At about half past ten, the guests attending the birthday party began to leave one after another.

One limousine after another drove slowly in the direction of the manor's gates.

Half an hour later, the inside and outside of the castle were quite deserted, and the guests had already walked away. The housekeeper Zhou Cang did not calm down, and directed the servants to start the aftermath of the banquet.

Huang Runshan and Huang Qingcang were the last people to leave the castle. Huang Runshan and his wife walked to the butterfly-shaped flying machine not far away, while Huang Qingcang walked to the garage accompanied by Huang Yelei. As for Huang Jingqi, she did not choose her parents to go back together, but continued to stay with Huang Shujian.

The birthday party finally came to an end. (To be continued......)
