ACT332: Wings of Freedom

Zhao Jian has always believed that he should be regarded as a patriot, but at the same time he also admits that he is not a selfless person. So when he was framed, Zhao Jian prioritized the latter between "the trust of the country" and "his own safety". He never thought of himself as "wise and close to a demon", but he was not naïve enough to fully hope for the wisdom and magnanimity of the Meng Sect.

The most ruthless imperial family! Even if this little trick of framing Meng Zong can see through it at a glance, the other party will still send someone to investigate Zhao Jian just in case, and may even charge him first. Once the Yellow Emperor or the Yan Emperor heard the news and rushed to come, it would be impossible for a half-crippled Chiyou alone to protect the Zhao ship.

There is no Zhao Jian who stands in the "God's perspective" and looks at the overall situation like the reader master. In this situation of limited time and too many uncertainties, choose to take yourself and your subordinates out of danger first.

It may not have been his best option at the time, but at least it was safe enough.

After Zhao Jian escaped, a series of turmoil ensued in the country. Needless to say, the strength of the "agents" has been greatly damaged, and the newly established white blood cells have also become the object of suspicion because of the "forgery of military orders." The two brothers and sisters could only suspend the intelligence work for the first time, and hurriedly began self-examination.

It can be said that the Seventh Prince only relied on a frame-up with no technical content, plus an undercover agent who was actively exposed, to create a lot of trouble for Datang's intelligence system. Fortunately, the Meng Sect does not have the ruthlessness of "rather kill mistakes than let go" of Da Linzi, otherwise there would be a big purge inside!

On the other side, after Zhao Jian escaped, he thought about it for a long time, and suddenly this situation is actually not bad! Although it does not have the comfort of "leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade" in the past, it has also gained more autonomy because of the lack of a top boss. He can now act exactly as he wants, and he has fewer worries about using the forces he had in his hands than he did in the past.

In addition, self-reliance does not mean that you have to turn your face with your old club, and Zhao Jian never planned to build a country! That kind of thing just sounds awesome, but it's actually not cool at all. Zhao Jian was once summoned to Chang'an to report to Mengzong. As a result, I saw a very gaffe scene of Her Majesty the Empress outside the door of the imperial study.

At that time, it was the beginning of the Great Migration, and the workload of the government had surged, and the number of pieces that needed to be approved by the Meng Zong had also increased exponentially. Meng Zong lay in the middle of a pile of folds, shedding tears while reviewing the chapters, and muttering words such as "I want to be a princess, I want to play". That pitiful appearance made Zhao Jian couldn't help but have a sour nose...... Then help Li Ti and them move the chapter together.

If you think about it carefully, Zhao Jian feels that he should be the emperor who offended at that time! (laughs)

Therefore, Zhao Jian's plan is to implement the concept of "agent", develop itself into an independent force that can act independently, continue to fight for the interests of the Tang Dynasty, and by the way, search for the seventh prince Li Shun who cheated them all over the world.

But let's be honest, if there is no pit to rely on. Zhao Jian will definitely not have the confidence he has now. His current strength, advantages and shortcomings are all the same, but fortunately, these problems are not too strict for the time being, Zhao Jian is not like some ambitious mustache who has ideas about the whole world!

The year 1939 was a new beginning for the human world. Over the past three years, humanity has fled the Earth to a wider extraterrestrial world. However, the oversupply of living space has not alleviated social contradictions, let alone satisfied the black hole desire of some careerists to devour some.

On the innermost side of the known star field, Britain and France on Mercury and Venus declared war on Germany in accordance with the Covenant. But millions of troops are just staying on their planet, looking at Titan hundreds of millions of kilometers away. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and French Prime Minister Daladier did nothing but regret the fall of Poland and Czechoslovakia.

And Hitler after getting two well-supplied Shippers. Strength and ambition have been further increased!

Until this time, most people in the world did not believe that there would be a Second World War, and military experts from various countries believed that the next large-scale war could start in the Shattered Star Zone. The main incentive is the competition for new energy ores. At present, each country has sent its own fleets there, so there is no guarantee that there will be no "misfire" incidents.

As one of the closest developed countries to the Shattered Star Zone, the United States has established the first long-term operating mining base on the surface. As soon as the "gravity simulator" applied to the base was made public, it received great attention from all walks of life, and the "Polattens Technology Co., Ltd.," which provided this technology to the US military, became famous.

Founded in 1912, the company started out as a private real room with less than ten people. Because the "anti-gravity" of his research is considered too ambitious, he has never been able to get any decent sponsorship, and it is difficult for the poor to even get by, let alone conduct research.

Less than 2 years after its establishment, there were soon only 5 people left in the real yàn room, and one of them was even a cleaning aunt with elementary school culture. However, just when the person in charge felt that it was difficult to continue and wanted to close the real room, a mysterious consortium calling itself the "Burton family" came to their aid.

At present, the company's headquarters is located in Texas, and they are responsible for the production of all the gravity simulators used by the US military. Because of its high technology content and complex manufacturing process, the purchase price of each unit is as high as 9.5 million US dollars, which is the top half of the USS Enterprise.

In fact, at the beginning, the government thought of buying the patent rights of this technology directly, but after the opposition Republicans learned of this, they obstructed it in every possible way in the name of "protecting individual rights and interests". This is also where federal countries have always been ridiculed by authoritarian countries, whether the leader says right or wrong, there is always a group of people who dare to blatantly contradict you!

In the end, this "buyout case", which is almost well-known to everyone, ended in the victory of the "people"! The government abandoned the direct purchase of patents and instead spent a lot of money ordering devices from the company. The Bolton consortium, which controls the company behind the scenes, put a lot of taxpayers' money into their own pockets amid the applause of the people.

"Father, this is the accounts of each company this month, please take a look at it."

"Father! This is the octopus I bought in the Shattered Star Zone, look at it! ”

On a private estate in Texas, the head of the Burton family, Condell. Burton sat upright behind a large, heavy desk, looking at his two grandsons in front of him for a long time. Condell, who is now 78 years old, did not enjoy his old age like ordinary old people because of the untimely death of his only son, but continued to be in charge of this powerful family.

Fortunately, his unsuccessful son gave birth to two grandchildren before he committed suicide by swallowing a gun, which gave the old man some comfort.

Eldest grandson Walter. Bolton had a handsome face that resembled him when he was young, and when he was young, he was even more of a genius, so Condell had high hopes for him, and arranged a very strict elite education for him. But God knows exactly what went wrong, and Walter not only did not become the heir to Condell's satisfaction when he grew up, but instead burst out with a majestic "teasing" that gave him a headache.

Good thing for Walter's Andrew. Bolton didn't disappoint the old man! Although he didn't have the talent of his brother, he relied on his hard work to catch up, and now he was able to help Condell manage a lot of family affairs. But whenever the old man saw Andrew's flaxen-colored curls like his mother, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in his heart, and he still hoped that Walter would inherit his position.

However, although Condell did not give up his "treatment" of Walter, he still continued to arrange family affairs for the other party, and arranged Elma, a genius girl, to assist him. But this "deflated calf" still slapped the old man in the face again and again, so that he was ridiculed by the people of other families in the organization at every "regular meeting".

The latest thing that made Walter mess up was to ask him to integrate the Shattered Star Zone. Originally, with the AKY boat regiment and the "secret army" cultivated by the family there, it should be a sure thing to annex a Luo family. But it's such a simple task, and it's a mess up for Walter!

Condell's distress is not the "secret army" that is a little minion like AKY and has been wiped out. It was a gift from the "true God" that had not been replenished until the next oracle came. If Walter wasn't his own grandson, he would have let Condell chop up and feed the dogs a long time ago!

Walter ...... You've been working in the Shattered Star District for half a year, and you brought such a thing back to see me? ”

"Well, let me think about it...... Elma! What other gifts did we bring back? ”

Hearing Walter's shout, Irma, dressed in an OL outfit, walked in from outside and handed a report to Condell's desk. The old man looked at the report, and his originally cloudy face was suddenly relieved, and then he waved his hand quite tiredly and said.

"Let's all go down, let me rest for a while."

The three young people present silently exited the study, and as soon as Walter came out, he handed the tank containing the octopus cubs to Irma, who frowned visibly after taking it, obviously disliking this slimy mollusk. However, just when Walter, who deliberately vacated his hand, wanted to say hello to his younger brother, the other party regarded him as nothing, striding past the side, and even owed his brother a glance, Walter looked at the other party's distant back, and smiled helplessly. (To be continued......)

PS: First of all, let's be sure, the protagonist will not build a country, and even more so he will not be brain-dead enough to conquer the world, and the mode after independence is similar to the "Mithril" in "Full Metal Mania", and he is still fighting for his country, but without his boss, his actions have become more free.

Some guys seem to use "the protagonist stands on his own" as a black spot, saying that I don't have anything to see behind, it must be the dragon arrogant who overturns the world, and all countries kneel and lick the clouds for the protagonist...... I can only hehe about it.

In addition, about the setting of the Bolton family, I refer to the ones in "Song of and Kill", which can be regarded as a mixture!
