Chapter 165: The Teutonic Family
While the civil war in the Confederacy colonies was raging in the rest of the major star districts, Star Melsa, the capital of the St. Proli Star District, was still calm. The independence of the government of the Star District does not seem to have affected the lives of ordinary people in the slightest, relatively speaking, the people feel that the independent government is more concerned about the lives of ordinary people, and a series of measures such as tax cuts and welfare increases are closely followed by the declaration of independence of the star district government, just like every new dynasty has just been established, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, the new star government can be said to have spent a lot of money. After a series of measures, the people of St. Prolius almost did not have the slightest resistance to the new government, and the image of the Earth Federal Government, which had no specific concept in the first place, became more and more diluted in the minds of most people.
"Master, the food is cold, do you want to heat it up?" In the former Governor's Mansion building in Felton, in a quaint and elegantly decorated office, Ah Fu, who was slender and short, whispered to a middle-aged man sitting behind a desk and fascinated by a piece of paper.
"Oh? It's okay, just put it here, Ah Fu! I'll eat it in a moment! The middle-aged man came to his senses, looked up at Ah Fu, smiled and waved his hand.
"Yes, sir!" Ah Fu sighed softly, lowered his hand and answered respectfully, and wanted to turn around and go out.
"Wait, Ah Fu, go and get General Jeff over!" The middle-aged man took off his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, leaned back on the rattan chair behind him, stretched his arms slightly and said. At that time, diseases such as presbyopia could have been cured by advanced medical treatment, however, this middle-aged man did not like to "manipulate" his eyes and other organs of the body, preferring to accept the fact that they were slowly aging, and preferred to use antique things such as reading glasses.
"General Jeff?" Ah Fu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then hesitated: "Master, General Jeff just informed me today that he went to Base 1 on the outskirts of the city to arrange for reinforcements!" He also said that if the master wants to have something, he will wait for him to come back! ”
"What?" The middle-aged man frowned when he heard this, and snorted coldly with a sullen face: "This Jeff is becoming more and more disobedient, and his wings are stiff, so he is disobedient?" ”
"Master......" Ah Fu whispered with a difficult face.
"Just send someone to inform him, and say I have something urgent to find him! If he can't make it back, don't blame me for not informing him! The middle-aged man frowned and pondered for a moment, with a hint of threat in his tone, and said coldly.
"Yes, sir!" Ah Fu's old face stretched slightly, nodded in agreement, and went out softly with his back bent.
"This Jeff, hey!" The middle-aged man frowned and looked out the window, sighed softly and muttered to himself. He was none other than the Prime Minister of the new government of St. Prolistar, Bertram? Teuton.
The Teutonic family has a strong background, Shili is a great grandfather, a senior member of the House of Lords of the Federal Government, and the family members are either in business or politics, and Shili can be found in all the star districts of the Federation. During the time of his father's generation, the family's focus began to evolve towards St. Prolis. Relying on its powerful financial resources, it quickly took control of the main economic lifeline of the colonial government in the sector in just two or three decades.
In order to protect the permanent interests of the family, since the father of Bertelem, his family members have slowly infiltrated the political field. By the time Bertlem took control of the family and became the patriarch of the Teutonic family, his family's political ambitions grew even further.
In the name of the president of the Chamber of Commerce of the District of St. Prolis, Bertelem spent nearly twenty years to win over the main high-ranking officials in the Governor of the District of St. Prollasia, and cultivated a large number of shili in the government and the local army, and gradually extended his tentacles to all corners of the District of San Prollus.
The civil war in the colonies of the Federation, which broke out a few months ago, was a long-planned "joint operation" by all Shili, including the Teutonic family, who secretly controlled the various colonial star sectors. Although the Teutonic family is not the leader of these shili, its significant influence still influences the judgment of the other major shili. After the new Miami Star District was pacified, Bertelem quickly united with the rest of the major shili, and with the influence of his seniority and prestige and the strong strength of his family, he persuaded the other major shili to stop acting alone and unite to launch a storm of colonial independence that would affect the fate of the Federation.
Because the Teutonic family has been working hard in St. Prolasia for decades, the "war of independence" of the Teutonic family to replace the federal Governor in St. Prolis can be described as uneventful and quite smooth compared to the independent shili of other star districts. With the exception of the elimination of a few diehards representing the federal government and the elimination of several outposts of the federal army with the use of local troops, the district of St. Prolly did not shed more blood due to the War of Independence, and the Teutonic family successfully took over the Directory and formed the new coalition government of St. Prolly.
The new government did not have the post of president, only Bertreme became prime minister, leading a cabinet of mostly members of the Teutonic family to run the new government. Of course, under the Prime Minister's Cabinet, the House of Representatives and the Senate were established with reference to the federal government. However, in the eyes of the discerning person, these two houses are nothing more than decorations used by Bertlem to fool the common people.
General Jeff, as Bertrem refers to him, is a young up-and-coming officer trained by the Teutonic family in the local garrison under the former Directory at a great deal of human and material expense. With the affirmation and strong support of the Teutonic family, Jeff's talent and ability to lead the troops are self-evident. What's more, Jeff is also one of the suitors of Bertelem's daughter. Because he is quite appreciated by Bertelem, in the eyes of outsiders, Jeff is actually the best candidate for a son-in-law in Bertelem. After the Teutonic family replaced the former colonial governorate of St. Prolius, Jeff was entrusted with the important task of leading the main force of St. Prolly's new army on the planet Melsa, responsible for the security and defense of the capital star, and assisting the new forces on the other two planets to block the attack of the federal expeditionary force.
Half an hour ago, Bertelem received an important piece of information from Sharon Star Sector. It stands to reason that apart from some basic information exchanges between the core figures, the rest of the internal intelligence between the various rebel shili is not transparent to each other. The reason why Bertlem was able to receive internal intelligence from the Sharon Star Sector was due to the intelligence network that the Teutonic family had spent more than 100 years and generations building.
This information indicates that the rebels in the Sharon Star District are carrying out a highly classified operation. According to the analysis of Bertelem's intelligence officers, this operation is very likely to affect the safety of the entire planet Mutus, and may even affect the resistance of the remaining rebel star sectors. The content of the intelligence says that in less than a month, the rebels on various planets in the Sharon Star Zone have delivered a large number of high-yield nuclear weapons to the planet Mutus. Its purpose is unknown, but it is clear that it is intended to hold off the onslaught of the overwhelming Federation forces.
The intelligence also listed many details of the actions of Sharon's rebels, and it was precisely because of the specific military operations involved, Teuton, who was not very expert in leading troops to fight, that he remembered to ask Jeff to rush back to help analyze this information. However, according to what the faithful old servant of Bertlem had just said, this Jeff seemed to be a little disobedient.
"Jeff, Jeff, I hope you're not too young and frivolous!" After a long time, Bertelem withdrew his gaze, looked down at the information in his hand again, and let out a long sigh.
※※※ On the planet Mutus in the Sharon Star Zone, about ten kilometers northwest of the pursuit site of Hao Yi and others, there is a rebel military base established in a hollow. This depression is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the height of each cliff is more than 500 meters, the diameter of the depression is less than 3 kilometers, and there is only one exit in the northeast corner, and the terrain can be described as quite dangerous.
The military base in the hollow has only a few simple barracks buildings and some basic conventional facilities. Judging by high-altitude reconnaissance, this may be just an ordinary military outpost. However, as soon as you enter this hollow from the ground, you will find that this secret base is different.
At the mouth of the northeastern valley, a seemingly spacious passage about twenty or thirty meters wide has actually been planted by the rebels with a large number of mines of various types, and only the middle less than eight meters wide is a safe passage. The total length of the passage is only 200 meters, but there are nearly 20 light and dark sentry bunkers of all kinds in it, with an average of one 10 meters. It can be called a real three-step, one-post, ten-step, and one-sentry. In addition, at the top of the steep cliffs on all sides, among the rocks, the rebels secretly set up seven or eight anti-aircraft positions. Anti-aircraft missile towers, multifunctional anti-aircraft locomotives and other anti-aircraft weapons are available.
It was somewhat unbelievable that such a tight defense could be used in an outpost that was at best a company-level outpost. What is even more surprising is that in the mountainous area with this base as the center and an area of about five kilometers, a large number of various types of air defense positions are almost densely distributed. Between these anti-aircraft positions, there are often groups and groups of patrols equipped with off-road locomotives or armored personnel carriers, swinging back and forth.
In a valley not far from the mysterious outpost, there was a sizable armored detachment assembling it. However, looking at the appearance of those chariots, mechs, and armored soldiers, it does not look like they are preparing to attack or defend, but rather like they are preparing to evacuate this place.
At the same time, a convoy of ten tanks and twenty mechs made its way through a winding mountain pass into the mysterious outpost. After passing through a cluster of empty and deserted buildings in the middle of the valley, the convoy drove straight to the bottom of a cliff.
About half a minute later, there was no movement of the convoy, and on the cliff wall ten meters away, there was a rumbling sound, and a large crack cracked in the stone wall. More than ten seconds later, a large hole three or five meters wide and high appeared in front of the convoy, and the cave seemed to be a steel wall shining with blue and white stars, but at the end it was bright and dazzling.
After the convoy drove into the cave one by one, the large stone crack slowly closed again with a dull sound. The entire outpost returned to its previous calm.
"What? Haven't contacted 098 Patrol yet? You all fucking grew up eating shit? Then don't you send a few more sets of sentinels to Lao Tzu! "Inside the cliff wall, a series of roars can be heard from the base control center, and an officer wearing the uniform of a major general of the Sharon Army shouts at a major on the holographic communication effect.
"Holy shit, don't fucking have an accident when Lao Tzu is about to make a business!" Angrily closing the communication channel, the major general muttered a little depressedly.
